38
00:02:20,639 --> 00:02:25,160
Speaker 1: stand up comedian, podcast host of The Bechdel Cast, which

Speaker 1: master's degree in film No Big also happens to have

42
00:02:33,040 --> 00:02:38,160
Speaker 1: the most anagrammable name in the English language. So depending

43
00:02:38,160 --> 00:02:40,639
Speaker 1: on whether you've been given her name and an assortment

44
00:02:40,760 --> 00:02:44,640
Speaker 1: of disorganized scrabble tiles. You might know her as Latin

45
00:02:44,760 --> 00:02:49,040
Speaker 1: dancer Uti nine tit Dracula, but in our hearts she

46

Speaker 1: will always be the Durantula. Is Caitlin.

47
00:02:58,720 --> 00:03:03,560
Speaker 3: Just happy to be here again. Here's the thing. I

48
00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:08,480
Speaker 3: feel like I've reached critical mass on the anagrams of

49
00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:10,639
Speaker 3: my name. I never thought it would happen, at least

50
00:03:10,639 --> 00:03:13,040
Speaker 3: the ones that I've been able to come up with. Yeah,

51
00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:20,280
Speaker 3: have to thank you, thank you. But I feel like

52
00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:22,520
Speaker 3: I just need to maybe I need to throw my

53
00:03:22,560 --> 00:03:26,800
Speaker 3: middle name in there and then unlock even more opportunities.

54
00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:28,840
Speaker 3: But I don't know. That feels like a cheat code.

55
00:03:28,840 --> 00:03:29,400
Speaker 3: I'm not sure.

56
00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:32,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think I think we just leave it where

57
00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:35,920
Speaker 1: it is, which is some of the greatest anagrams of

58
00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:38,560
Speaker 1: all time. Thank you, Caitlin.

59
00:03:38,760 --> 00:03:41,240
Speaker 2: Your legacy is untouched. So yeah, truly.

60
00:03:41,880 --> 00:03:44,000
Speaker 1: You're just coming back from the East coast. You are

61
00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:47,120
Speaker 1: on the West coast. Now, how are you feeling? How

62
00:03:47,160 --> 00:03:47,680
Speaker 1: are you doing?

63
00:03:48,320 --> 00:03:53,000
Speaker 3: I am doing well. Yeah, I was just traveling. I

64
00:03:53,040 --> 00:03:55,840
Speaker 3: moved into a new apartment and then like three days later,

65
00:03:55,920 --> 00:03:58,760
Speaker 3: I was like, oops, I already had this trip booked,

66
00:03:58,960 --> 00:04:02,320
Speaker 3: so I had to like leave immediately and like I'm

67
00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:05,960
Speaker 3: still you know, things are in disarray, but my apartment's

68
00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:11,000
Speaker 3: slowly coming together, and yeah, I'm great.

69
00:04:11,640 --> 00:04:12,120
Speaker 2: That's great.

70
00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:14,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, we are going to get to know you

71
00:04:14,680 --> 00:04:16,599
Speaker 1: a little bit better in a moment. First, we're going

72
00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:18,360
Speaker 1: to tell our listeners a couple of the things we're

73
00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:22,160
Speaker 1: talking about today. We're going to talk about that SpaceX

74
00:04:22,240 --> 00:04:27,040
Speaker 1: launch that happened yesterday morning where they launched a three

75
00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:32,800
Speaker 1: billion dollar rocket. I believe it exploded on launch, like

76
00:04:32,839 --> 00:04:36,159
Speaker 1: within minutes, and then they were like, yeah, we meant

77
00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:39,520
Speaker 1: to do that. So we're just going to talk about that,

78
00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:43,440
Speaker 1: and just some theories around how stupid he Lamos might be.

79
00:04:43,880 --> 00:04:48,520
Speaker 1: McDonald's is trying to get your data by releasing the

80
00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:52,920
Speaker 1: Big Mac sauce, which I didn't Apparently there was a

81
00:04:52,920 --> 00:04:56,120
Speaker 1: mystique around the Big Mac Sauce at some point. I

82
00:04:56,160 --> 00:04:57,320
Speaker 1: was not aware of that number this.

83
00:04:57,680 --> 00:05:00,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, no, it's like the special sauce and like what's

84
00:05:00,839 --> 00:05:01,160
Speaker 3: in it?

85
00:05:01,680 --> 00:05:04,200
Speaker 1: I always took that at them, calling it special so

86
00:05:04,360 --> 00:05:07,840
Speaker 1: like a self appointed nickname. Like they were like, this

87
00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:10,600
Speaker 1: is our special sauce, yeah, and everybody wants to know

88
00:05:10,640 --> 00:05:13,919
Speaker 1: what's in it, and we're like no, it's clearly just

89
00:05:14,040 --> 00:05:15,640
Speaker 1: Thousand Island dressing and man.

90
00:05:16,040 --> 00:05:18,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, maybe that is what happened.

91
00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:22,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, but I don't know it apparently. I think it's

92
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:24,480
Speaker 1: been around since nineteen sixty eight. I think at a

93
00:05:24,520 --> 00:05:26,520
Speaker 1: certain time people are like, what isn't it? And now

94
00:05:26,560 --> 00:05:28,880
Speaker 1: it's just been Everybody else was able to copy it

95
00:05:29,120 --> 00:05:32,479
Speaker 1: the second they tried, and so everyone's like, it's not

96
00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:35,839
Speaker 1: that special, but they're trying to do that. They released

97
00:05:35,839 --> 00:05:39,080
Speaker 1: packets of their special Sauce Center saying that all you

98
00:05:39,160 --> 00:05:42,400
Speaker 1: have to do is sign up for their app to

99
00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:45,800
Speaker 1: get it. So we'll talk about why companies want you

100
00:05:45,839 --> 00:05:47,920
Speaker 1: to sign up for their app. We might even talk

101
00:05:47,920 --> 00:05:51,599
Speaker 1: about Netflix shutting down it's DVD service and why that

102
00:05:52,080 --> 00:05:55,760
Speaker 1: actually sucks all of that plenty more. But first, Katelyn,

103
00:05:55,839 --> 00:05:58,760
Speaker 1: we do like to ask our guests, what is something

104
00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:00,599
Speaker 1: from your search history?

105
00:06:00,880 --> 00:06:07,560
Speaker 3: Okay, I recently googled Claire's ring Watch because I had

106
00:06:07,760 --> 00:06:11,479
Speaker 3: one as a youth. If you're not sure what a

107
00:06:11,560 --> 00:06:15,440
Speaker 3: Claire's ring watch is, let me tell you.

108
00:06:15,480 --> 00:06:15,560
Speaker 1: So.

109
00:06:15,640 --> 00:06:19,400
Speaker 3: Claire's the store in the mall that has like, you know,

110
00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:28,440
Speaker 3: jewelry and accessories for like tweens mostly, but I think

111
00:06:28,520 --> 00:06:30,960
Speaker 3: and sometimes I still go in there and I find

112
00:06:30,960 --> 00:06:34,040
Speaker 3: something I like. But this was like the store that

113
00:06:34,080 --> 00:06:39,159
Speaker 3: I would frequent on any mall trip as a tween

114
00:06:39,279 --> 00:06:43,920
Speaker 3: and teen, just you know, regularly, and I had at

115
00:06:43,920 --> 00:06:48,040
Speaker 3: one point, so mood rings were really popular for a while.

116
00:06:48,200 --> 00:06:51,120
Speaker 3: Maybe they are still or again, I don't know. I'm

117
00:06:51,160 --> 00:06:55,200
Speaker 3: not I still don't quite understand gen Z fashion, and

118
00:06:55,240 --> 00:06:57,320
Speaker 3: I'm like that was something I wore in high school

119
00:06:57,320 --> 00:07:00,640
Speaker 3: and you're doing it again, Okay. So there was this

120
00:07:01,640 --> 00:07:05,880
Speaker 3: ring that you could buy that was like it was

121
00:07:05,920 --> 00:07:09,600
Speaker 3: just a miniature watch, like if you picture like a

122
00:07:09,600 --> 00:07:13,320
Speaker 3: Cassio style watch in your head, it was like that.

123
00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:14,560
Speaker 3: And then it was a.

124
00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:17,240
Speaker 1: Ring besides a ring, yes, so you would.

125
00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:18,760
Speaker 3: Wear it on your finger, and so it was like

126
00:07:18,880 --> 00:07:22,600
Speaker 3: very bulky, right and like not a great ring, but

127
00:07:22,720 --> 00:07:25,360
Speaker 3: it like was a functional watch, so you could like

128
00:07:25,520 --> 00:07:28,000
Speaker 3: tell the time on your little ring watch. And then

129
00:07:28,040 --> 00:07:31,440
Speaker 3: the one I had had a little like the like

130
00:07:31,480 --> 00:07:34,440
Speaker 3: the face of the watch had an alien on it

131
00:07:34,480 --> 00:07:38,400
Speaker 3: because this was back when like alien imagery was very popular,

132
00:07:38,440 --> 00:07:41,520
Speaker 3: I want to say, so the nineteen ninety seven ninety

133
00:07:41,560 --> 00:07:44,760
Speaker 3: eight kind of thing file yeah, yeah, and then the

134
00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:49,280
Speaker 3: and then the alien would change colors depending on my

135
00:07:49,480 --> 00:07:51,560
Speaker 3: mood and it was so accurate.

136
00:07:51,880 --> 00:07:56,200
Speaker 1: Oh my, yeah, it's like the Swiss army wife of trend.

137
00:07:57,400 --> 00:07:57,800
Speaker 3: Yeah.

138
00:07:58,040 --> 00:07:58,800
Speaker 2: Finger watches.

139
00:07:59,080 --> 00:08:01,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was, you know.

140
00:08:01,040 --> 00:08:04,600
Speaker 3: Like psychologically analyzing me. It was telling you the time.

141
00:08:05,040 --> 00:08:07,960
Speaker 3: It was making me so my, you know, my just

142
00:08:08,160 --> 00:08:11,880
Speaker 3: fingers look so cool, like yeah, multid.

143
00:08:11,400 --> 00:08:13,280
Speaker 1: You ever put on your middle finger and be like, hey,

144
00:08:13,320 --> 00:08:14,880
Speaker 1: could you tell me what time it is to someone

145
00:08:14,920 --> 00:08:15,560
Speaker 1: you were mad at?

146
00:08:15,720 --> 00:08:20,360
Speaker 3: Oh that's a good you could do that kind of

147
00:08:21,200 --> 00:08:21,840
Speaker 3: a time.

148
00:08:22,120 --> 00:08:26,680
Speaker 1: Yeah. I am looking at the pictures. They are I

149
00:08:26,720 --> 00:08:29,840
Speaker 1: don't know what I expected, but they're bulkier. You certainly

150
00:08:29,840 --> 00:08:32,400
Speaker 1: can't get away with wearing multiple on the same man.

151
00:08:32,800 --> 00:08:34,280
Speaker 2: No, maybe not.

152
00:08:34,679 --> 00:08:41,560
Speaker 1: They are massive. They're also shockingly priced at like what

153
00:08:41,600 --> 00:08:46,400
Speaker 1: one from Etsy is thirteen dollars and ninety cents. There's

154
00:08:46,440 --> 00:08:48,840
Speaker 1: another one you can get for three dollars and fifty

155
00:08:48,920 --> 00:08:52,520
Speaker 1: nine cents. This seems like a marvel of technology to me.

156
00:08:52,760 --> 00:08:55,400
Speaker 3: I feeling, I know, and giving them away?

157
00:08:55,760 --> 00:08:56,640
Speaker 1: What is happening?

158
00:08:57,160 --> 00:08:59,439
Speaker 3: I don't remember exactly why I googled it in the

159
00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:02,000
Speaker 3: first place. I think I was just like talking to

160
00:09:02,120 --> 00:09:04,840
Speaker 3: friends and I was like, remember those things that we had,

161
00:09:05,559 --> 00:09:07,439
Speaker 3: and then I googled it to see if you could

162
00:09:07,480 --> 00:09:09,959
Speaker 3: still buy them, and I honestly might get one, even

163
00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:13,280
Speaker 3: though I don't wear any like finger rings.

164
00:09:13,880 --> 00:09:18,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean absolutely, go off. I have to mention.

165
00:09:18,559 --> 00:09:21,360
Speaker 2: I have to mention. At the same time, despite the

166
00:09:21,840 --> 00:09:27,120
Speaker 2: despite the widely available nature, of course, a company like

167
00:09:27,200 --> 00:09:30,160
Speaker 2: Fossil had to take advantage and sells a one hundred

168
00:09:30,120 --> 00:09:33,600
Speaker 2: dollar version as well, which seems was like.

169
00:09:33,600 --> 00:09:36,800
Speaker 1: What that I trust that more than a five dollars version.

170
00:09:36,840 --> 00:09:40,439
Speaker 1: For some reason, my inner capitalist is like, well, it

171
00:09:40,520 --> 00:09:44,160
Speaker 1: must work better because I weard all that money. Go.

172
00:09:44,920 --> 00:09:47,280
Speaker 2: I certainly don't blame you for the trust element, but

173
00:09:47,440 --> 00:09:50,559
Speaker 2: just in terms of the actual electronics needed to make

174
00:09:50,600 --> 00:09:53,000
Speaker 2: this happen to the mechanics, one hundred dollars seems a

175
00:09:53,120 --> 00:09:54,040
Speaker 2: little steep.

176
00:09:54,520 --> 00:09:57,600
Speaker 3: Little, especially if you can find one for three dollars.

177
00:09:57,600 --> 00:09:58,679
Speaker 2: Also, yeah, exactly.

178
00:09:58,880 --> 00:10:03,040
Speaker 1: Claire's the Claire website, claires dot com sells it for

179
00:10:03,080 --> 00:10:03,960
Speaker 1: a five pound.

180
00:10:04,720 --> 00:10:05,160
Speaker 2: There we go.

181
00:10:05,320 --> 00:10:09,800
Speaker 1: So I don't think it's not available in the US.

182
00:10:09,880 --> 00:10:12,000
Speaker 1: So shipping is going to be a real bitch on

183
00:10:12,040 --> 00:10:15,960
Speaker 1: that one. But that's a it's a good look. I

184
00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:19,280
Speaker 1: did not encounter it. It was after my time. Apparently

185
00:10:20,160 --> 00:10:22,320
Speaker 1: I was there for mood rings, and I remember mood

186
00:10:22,400 --> 00:10:24,560
Speaker 1: rings being a thing. My parents were like that ship

187
00:10:24,679 --> 00:10:27,280
Speaker 1: again because I think it was like popular when they

188
00:10:27,280 --> 00:10:27,880
Speaker 1: were kids.

189
00:10:28,160 --> 00:10:32,360
Speaker 3: Also, you were going into Claire's all the time. It's

190
00:10:32,440 --> 00:10:35,559
Speaker 3: just that they hadn't.

191
00:10:35,080 --> 00:10:39,439
Speaker 1: Did they different fashions yet it was early Claire's, you know,

192
00:10:39,600 --> 00:10:43,040
Speaker 1: it wasn't there weren't there more jelly bracelets and of

193
00:10:43,040 --> 00:10:47,840
Speaker 1: course just pierced well, telling my mom I was going

194
00:10:47,920 --> 00:10:50,120
Speaker 1: to get my ears pierced, and then running out crying

195
00:10:50,960 --> 00:10:54,120
Speaker 1: because I was too scared. What is something, Kayline? You

196
00:10:54,120 --> 00:10:55,120
Speaker 1: think is overrated?

197
00:10:55,720 --> 00:10:59,640
Speaker 3: So I don't know how much Mario is still in

198
00:10:59,640 --> 00:11:04,360
Speaker 3: the conation that the zeitgeist talking right now? Okay, right,

199
00:11:04,640 --> 00:11:06,680
Speaker 3: Like I saw the movie the other day. I have

200
00:11:06,760 --> 00:11:10,199
Speaker 3: a time. Yeah, of course was that surprising?

201
00:11:10,760 --> 00:11:13,199
Speaker 1: This is surprising that you saw it. I'm just excited

202
00:11:13,240 --> 00:11:16,000
Speaker 1: that you saw it and can report back because I'm

203
00:11:16,280 --> 00:11:19,640
Speaker 1: excited to see it. I'm excited to take my kids

204
00:11:19,679 --> 00:11:21,560
Speaker 1: to see it. I think they'll probably be able to

205
00:11:21,559 --> 00:11:26,240
Speaker 1: make it through. And yeah, but I'm glad to get

206
00:11:26,280 --> 00:11:29,559
Speaker 1: a good review. You did recommend one of a movie

207
00:11:29,559 --> 00:11:32,199
Speaker 1: they really enjoyed. They haven't asked to rewatch it. But

208
00:11:32,320 --> 00:11:35,960
Speaker 1: Paddington too, off the strength of your recommendation. That was

209
00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:38,640
Speaker 1: like the one of the first movies I showed them

210
00:11:38,679 --> 00:11:40,200
Speaker 1: when they got interested in movies.

211
00:11:40,440 --> 00:11:45,480
Speaker 3: Oh my gosh, I feel honored and just just sneak

212
00:11:45,520 --> 00:11:47,480
Speaker 3: it in again, maybe like a year or two down

213
00:11:47,480 --> 00:11:49,520
Speaker 3: the road, and then I think they'll be old enough

214
00:11:49,559 --> 00:11:52,120
Speaker 3: that they're like, this is the best movie ever made.

215
00:11:52,200 --> 00:11:55,440
Speaker 1: Yeah. I think what happened was that I just showed

216
00:11:55,480 --> 00:11:57,680
Speaker 1: them one of the best movies ever made, and then

217
00:11:57,920 --> 00:11:59,719
Speaker 1: they were like, Okay, so this is what movies are.

218
00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:02,280
Speaker 1: No big whoop, And now I need to show it

219
00:12:02,320 --> 00:12:07,640
Speaker 1: to them again after they've seen both Sonic and Sonic

220
00:12:07,679 --> 00:12:11,439
Speaker 1: two exactly, Sonic to one of the worst movies I've

221
00:12:11,440 --> 00:12:12,239
Speaker 1: ever seen.

222
00:12:13,080 --> 00:12:13,840
Speaker 3: So missed it.

223
00:12:14,280 --> 00:12:18,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, well that I'm returning the favor. You don't have

224
00:12:18,480 --> 00:12:19,280
Speaker 1: to see Sonic too.

225
00:12:19,400 --> 00:12:20,439
Speaker 3: Thank you, Thank you, Thank you for.

226
00:12:20,520 --> 00:12:23,079
Speaker 1: Mario looks fun, and Mario and I had fun.

227
00:12:23,160 --> 00:12:26,560
Speaker 3: It's not going to revolutionize cinema, but I had a

228
00:12:26,679 --> 00:12:30,240
Speaker 3: fun time as I was watching it. But both my

229
00:12:30,520 --> 00:12:36,679
Speaker 3: overrated and underrated items for today are Mario related. What

230
00:12:36,720 --> 00:12:42,840
Speaker 3: I think is overrated is Smash Brothers. People are like, oh,

231
00:12:43,040 --> 00:12:46,520
Speaker 3: do you want to play Smash Let's just and it's

232
00:12:46,559 --> 00:12:50,559
Speaker 3: just like, for what, what are we doing? What's the objective?

233
00:12:50,640 --> 00:12:54,120
Speaker 3: There's no skill involved. I don't like button mash games

234
00:12:54,160 --> 00:12:57,840
Speaker 3: like that. I find it very frustrating. I want some skill.

235
00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:01,520
Speaker 3: Maybe it's just that I lose every time and I'm

236
00:13:01,520 --> 00:13:02,760
Speaker 3: bad at it, and that's why.

237
00:13:02,600 --> 00:13:03,520
Speaker 1: I don't like it.

238
00:13:04,400 --> 00:13:07,120
Speaker 3: But I find it a very frustrating game.

239
00:13:08,360 --> 00:13:13,200
Speaker 2: Super but you're brothers. It is an incredibly frustrating game

240
00:13:13,200 --> 00:13:15,600
Speaker 2: that I too, have never been good at ever as

241
00:13:15,640 --> 00:13:19,000
Speaker 2: an avid, lifelong gamer. Yeah, never good at Smashed was

242
00:13:19,000 --> 00:13:21,679
Speaker 2: never my forte though I do recognize that there are

243
00:13:21,720 --> 00:13:24,200
Speaker 2: people who are quite good at it, and I feel

244
00:13:24,240 --> 00:13:26,440
Speaker 2: like they're the ones that always want to play yes,

245
00:13:26,960 --> 00:13:29,079
Speaker 2: because it's like, hey, let's do this thing that I'm

246
00:13:29,200 --> 00:13:31,280
Speaker 2: exceptionally good at. It's like, I don't.

247
00:13:31,720 --> 00:13:34,439
Speaker 3: It's like, congratulations for finding the one thing in the

248
00:13:34,559 --> 00:13:37,480
Speaker 3: entire world that you're good at, which is Smash, but

249
00:13:37,600 --> 00:13:39,960
Speaker 3: don't bring me into it.

250
00:13:41,160 --> 00:13:43,959
Speaker 2: I feel there's saying it's a similar vibe with Mario

251
00:13:44,080 --> 00:13:46,680
Speaker 2: Kart as well, Like anybody who's played Mario Kart from

252
00:13:46,679 --> 00:13:48,520
Speaker 2: like every version, they're like, hey, let's just play some

253
00:13:48,559 --> 00:13:50,600
Speaker 2: Mario Kart, and it's like, oh, of course, I remember,

254
00:13:50,720 --> 00:13:52,280
Speaker 2: you know Mario Kart sixty four. Maybe you played a

255
00:13:52,280 --> 00:13:54,560
Speaker 2: little double dash like I remember that from my childhood.

256
00:13:54,600 --> 00:13:57,720
Speaker 2: And then someone just like busts out the pro switch

257
00:13:57,760 --> 00:14:00,440
Speaker 2: controller and is like, oh, you're toasted, And it's like

258
00:14:00,520 --> 00:14:02,880
Speaker 2: I thought I just wanted to drive around. I didn't

259
00:14:02,880 --> 00:14:03,839
Speaker 2: know it was gonna be a whole thing.

260
00:14:04,480 --> 00:14:09,160
Speaker 1: What about jacks? What about marbles? Right? That's what I

261
00:14:09,200 --> 00:14:11,600
Speaker 1: invite people to play when they come over to must Use.

262
00:14:12,160 --> 00:14:13,520
Speaker 2: It's not the Mancala board.

263
00:14:13,559 --> 00:14:16,280
Speaker 1: What happened to that? I come on, I'm trying.

264
00:14:16,120 --> 00:14:18,040
Speaker 2: To move some pieces of glass around.

265
00:14:18,679 --> 00:14:20,280
Speaker 1: That's what you're underrage, is right.

266
00:14:20,320 --> 00:14:20,600
Speaker 2: I didn't.

267
00:14:20,640 --> 00:14:22,960
Speaker 1: I didn't mean to jump on your under it clearly

268
00:14:23,120 --> 00:14:25,680
Speaker 1: jacks and marbles? Right, all right?

269
00:14:26,120 --> 00:14:30,320
Speaker 3: What is your oh short story? It is Super Mario Brothers,

270
00:14:30,600 --> 00:14:32,480
Speaker 3: the movie from nineteen ninety three.

271
00:14:32,960 --> 00:14:33,600
Speaker 1: Okay, cool.

272
00:14:34,040 --> 00:14:37,000
Speaker 3: Here's the thing is it has a horrible reputation. People

273
00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:39,480
Speaker 3: are like it is one of the worst movies ever made.

274
00:14:39,960 --> 00:14:42,560
Speaker 3: We recently did an episode on it on the Bechdel

275
00:14:42,640 --> 00:14:45,880
Speaker 3: Cast and I got a chance to rewatch it and

276
00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:49,120
Speaker 3: I was like, oh, it's why why do people think

277
00:14:49,160 --> 00:14:53,280
Speaker 3: this is so terrible? Like, sure, it's not again going

278
00:14:53,320 --> 00:14:58,240
Speaker 3: to revolutionize cinema, but maybe not. It is so fun.

279
00:14:58,720 --> 00:15:03,200
Speaker 3: It's funny. You've got John Logan, Legzamo and Bob Hoskins

280
00:15:03,520 --> 00:15:06,320
Speaker 3: and a bunch of other fun side characters. It's I

281
00:15:06,360 --> 00:15:09,560
Speaker 3: would play in the he is and he plays Koopa

282
00:15:10,120 --> 00:15:10,520
Speaker 3: the villain.

283
00:15:10,600 --> 00:15:14,280
Speaker 1: Right, Yeah, that's a lot. That is a lot of

284
00:15:15,000 --> 00:15:19,040
Speaker 1: tasty for children. Right, Maybe it just missed. It's like

285
00:15:19,360 --> 00:15:21,440
Speaker 1: my impression of that, and I've never seen it, but

286
00:15:21,440 --> 00:15:24,240
Speaker 1: my impression of it is always that it did seem

287
00:15:24,520 --> 00:15:27,560
Speaker 1: seem like it aimed to revolutionize cinema a little like

288
00:15:27,640 --> 00:15:30,280
Speaker 1: it went like in a weird direction.

289
00:15:30,440 --> 00:15:33,360
Speaker 3: So weird, it's very bizarre. But I would put it

290
00:15:33,400 --> 00:15:36,600
Speaker 3: in the same camp as like the live action Ninja

291
00:15:36,600 --> 00:15:40,760
Speaker 3: Turtles movies of the nineties, or like the Power Rangers movie.

292
00:15:40,920 --> 00:15:45,600
Speaker 3: It's like, it's the same quality and vibe. So it's

293
00:15:45,640 --> 00:15:50,960
Speaker 3: goofa camp camp. It's it's exact the camp camp.

294
00:15:51,680 --> 00:15:56,880
Speaker 1: I loved it, Thank you. I appreciate that this is big.

295
00:15:57,000 --> 00:15:58,120
Speaker 1: This has been a big show for me.

296
00:15:58,640 --> 00:16:03,720
Speaker 3: We can end it early, guys later, So yeah, Mario's

297
00:16:03,720 --> 00:16:07,600
Speaker 3: Mario nineteen ninety three is a boatload of fun.

298
00:16:08,440 --> 00:16:12,920
Speaker 1: Did it? Pressage nine to eleven is I'm told the

299
00:16:13,280 --> 00:16:19,040
Speaker 1: Twin Towers disappear in it. Oh you know what? And

300
00:16:19,080 --> 00:16:22,400
Speaker 1: also a small chunk of the Pentagon just disappeared, just

301
00:16:22,440 --> 00:16:24,240
Speaker 1: like a small one. No, that's not true.

302
00:16:25,000 --> 00:16:29,440
Speaker 3: I know that they're digging for dinosaur bones in Lower

303
00:16:29,480 --> 00:16:33,160
Speaker 3: Manhattan at some point. I don't know if it's where

304
00:16:33,840 --> 00:16:36,200
Speaker 3: the two Towers are supposed to be the Twin Towers.

305
00:16:36,240 --> 00:16:38,360
Speaker 3: What is two towers? That's a Lord of the Rings movie.

306
00:16:38,560 --> 00:16:39,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, okay.

307
00:16:39,880 --> 00:16:44,240
Speaker 1: Also Pressage, everything was telling, so I don't know how

308
00:16:44,240 --> 00:16:44,800
Speaker 1: we missed it.

309
00:16:46,120 --> 00:16:51,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, I that to answer your question, Jack, I'm not sure.

310
00:16:51,760 --> 00:16:56,760
Speaker 1: It wasn't something that struck you.

311
00:16:56,800 --> 00:16:58,800
Speaker 3: No, I was not paying attention. I guess I don't

312
00:16:58,840 --> 00:17:02,800
Speaker 3: always attention to the intricacies of a New York Skyline

313
00:17:03,720 --> 00:17:06,680
Speaker 3: and the movies I'm watching right.

314
00:17:07,359 --> 00:17:12,360
Speaker 1: The fact that Hoskins they took two huge sweat Hoskins

315
00:17:12,920 --> 00:17:18,679
Speaker 1: was the lead in who framed Roger Rabbit and the

316
00:17:18,720 --> 00:17:24,800
Speaker 1: Mario Brothers movie. Like true, truly, like what was happening

317
00:17:24,960 --> 00:17:28,240
Speaker 1: in the like I'm I'm here for it. I love it,

318
00:17:28,359 --> 00:17:31,199
Speaker 1: but like just if you ever want to be like,

319
00:17:31,840 --> 00:17:36,080
Speaker 1: we are not the same, like you people who grow

320
00:17:36,160 --> 00:17:39,240
Speaker 1: up in today's era and people who grew up at

321
00:17:39,240 --> 00:17:42,400
Speaker 1: that time, we are not the same. This was our

322
00:17:42,520 --> 00:17:47,000
Speaker 1: leading man for the Mario Brothers movie Yours is a cartoon,

323
00:17:47,119 --> 00:17:49,879
Speaker 1: and they still had to get like a ripped jacked,

324
00:17:49,880 --> 00:17:53,120
Speaker 1: a guy named Chris who golfs with his pastor.

325
00:17:53,920 --> 00:17:56,160
Speaker 2: We were just we were just down to have schlubby

326
00:17:56,240 --> 00:18:00,520
Speaker 2: dudes be the leads and stuff and honestly relatable. We

327
00:18:00,560 --> 00:18:06,760
Speaker 2: need more schlubby looking people compared in in things in general.

328
00:18:07,040 --> 00:18:12,520
Speaker 1: Yeah. I always talk about this, but there's this like

329
00:18:12,680 --> 00:18:16,719
Speaker 1: raisin brand commercial from the early eighties that I like.

330
00:18:16,960 --> 00:18:19,800
Speaker 1: When I was making my old YouTube show the spit Take,

331
00:18:19,840 --> 00:18:24,439
Speaker 1: I happened upon and it's like the the premise is

332
00:18:24,520 --> 00:18:28,680
Speaker 1: like the brand flakes and the Raisins are personified by

333
00:18:29,400 --> 00:18:33,719
Speaker 1: a singing group. And the singing group it all happened

334
00:18:33,720 --> 00:18:38,560
Speaker 1: to be men who look like Bob Hoskins. They I

335
00:18:38,640 --> 00:18:40,959
Speaker 1: guess they just like they were like, oh, I know,

336
00:18:41,600 --> 00:18:44,600
Speaker 1: a singing group. It's like this a cappella group of

337
00:18:45,640 --> 00:18:50,760
Speaker 1: police retired police sergeants or something. Because that and it's

338
00:18:50,840 --> 00:18:55,240
Speaker 1: just what a time to be alive. Just all media

339
00:18:55,400 --> 00:19:00,280
Speaker 1: Harry so great? Yeah, and now what is it?

340
00:19:01,000 --> 00:19:04,679
Speaker 2: And now what you know. Also, speaking of the Mario movie,

341
00:19:04,760 --> 00:19:07,360
Speaker 2: do you think it would have I mean, I think

342
00:19:07,400 --> 00:19:08,960
Speaker 2: we look at it now, and I think, Caitlin, I

343
00:19:09,000 --> 00:19:11,320
Speaker 2: think you're look at it. The long look is very correct.

344
00:19:11,359 --> 00:19:13,480
Speaker 2: It's like, what's so bad about that movie? Would it

345
00:19:13,520 --> 00:19:16,840
Speaker 2: have been received better if it was the gritty reboot

346
00:19:16,920 --> 00:19:19,240
Speaker 2: to the Mario movie we have now, Like if we

347
00:19:19,240 --> 00:19:22,320
Speaker 2: were able to have that movie after the existence of

348
00:19:22,359 --> 00:19:27,159
Speaker 2: a already you know, ma like enough Mario like movie

349
00:19:27,200 --> 00:19:29,840
Speaker 2: that people are like, we have that part covered now,

350
00:19:29,920 --> 00:19:34,760
Speaker 2: we need give me the grit, give me the Mario. Yeah.

351
00:19:34,960 --> 00:19:36,159
Speaker 1: I better so.

352
00:19:37,040 --> 00:19:40,200
Speaker 3: And I think one of the reasons it was received

353
00:19:40,240 --> 00:19:43,560
Speaker 3: so poorly at the time is that and like the

354
00:19:43,600 --> 00:19:46,800
Speaker 3: people who wrote the script and directed the movie, like

355
00:19:47,119 --> 00:19:49,159
Speaker 3: will be the first to admit this, I think, but

356
00:19:49,920 --> 00:19:52,600
Speaker 3: it kind of has nothing to do with Mario. Like

357
00:19:55,280 --> 00:20:02,040
Speaker 3: there is some vague iconography from the like established brand

358
00:20:02,119 --> 00:20:05,840
Speaker 3: of Mario in this movie, but like barely any And

359
00:20:05,880 --> 00:20:10,960
Speaker 3: there's also some like familiar characters and just like things

360
00:20:11,000 --> 00:20:16,199
Speaker 3: like Mario and Luigi are plumbers. But the so the

361
00:20:16,200 --> 00:20:20,159
Speaker 3: conceit of the movie was like like Nintendo was like

362
00:20:20,280 --> 00:20:23,560
Speaker 3: the Mario brand is so strong that we don't even

363
00:20:23,600 --> 00:20:26,239
Speaker 3: need the Mario movie to it can be whatever, Like

364
00:20:26,280 --> 00:20:29,600
Speaker 3: we don't even really care, and like, sure, take some

365
00:20:29,680 --> 00:20:33,240
Speaker 3: creative liberties with it, because our brand is so strong

366
00:20:33,760 --> 00:20:38,439
Speaker 3: that it's not going to affect anything. So the filmmakers

367
00:20:38,480 --> 00:20:43,600
Speaker 3: made some really wild swings, right with like the story

368
00:20:43,720 --> 00:20:49,320
Speaker 3: and the characters, like Toad is this like punk guy,

369
00:20:49,880 --> 00:20:54,120
Speaker 3: but who's also like playing acoustic guitar and playing harmonica and.

370
00:20:54,040 --> 00:20:56,480
Speaker 1: Like just like weird things.

371
00:20:58,600 --> 00:21:04,960
Speaker 3: Yea, and the the goombazz in this movie are not

372
00:21:05,240 --> 00:21:10,240
Speaker 3: the little mushroom guys that hop around. They are reptilian

373
00:21:11,359 --> 00:21:18,040
Speaker 3: people with tiny heads, and so they're more like about

374
00:21:18,160 --> 00:21:22,280
Speaker 3: like Coopa is the turtle guy, right, and then there's

375
00:21:22,359 --> 00:21:26,199
Speaker 3: Bowser it was also a turtle, and then so but

376
00:21:26,440 --> 00:21:29,760
Speaker 3: Coopa in this version is a dinosaur. And it's just

377
00:21:29,800 --> 00:21:34,800
Speaker 3: like they just took really wild creative choices, and I

378
00:21:34,800 --> 00:21:37,240
Speaker 3: think people were just like, what, this isn't the Mario

379
00:21:37,359 --> 00:21:38,359
Speaker 3: that I know and love.

380
00:21:39,119 --> 00:21:39,800
Speaker 1: I hate it.

381
00:21:40,119 --> 00:21:42,720
Speaker 3: So I think that's why everyone thought it was so bad,

382
00:21:42,840 --> 00:21:45,159
Speaker 3: just because it wasn't. It deviated too far from the

383
00:21:45,160 --> 00:21:48,520
Speaker 3: source material. But if you're able to separate yourself from

384
00:21:48,520 --> 00:21:50,680
Speaker 3: that and you're just watching it knowing that it's like

385
00:21:51,119 --> 00:21:57,440
Speaker 3: a goofy nineties kids ish movie. It's an extremely goofy

386
00:21:57,520 --> 00:22:02,560
Speaker 3: movie the sequel exactly.

387
00:22:03,600 --> 00:22:07,800
Speaker 1: So. I feel like a lot of early comic book

388
00:22:07,880 --> 00:22:13,359
Speaker 1: movies and video game movies were directed like by people

389
00:22:13,400 --> 00:22:16,280
Speaker 1: who were embarrassed to be directing them, and that was

390
00:22:16,320 --> 00:22:21,320
Speaker 1: like the primary thing that you need to understand going

391
00:22:21,359 --> 00:22:25,720
Speaker 1: into those movies is like, well, this is fucking stupid. Right,

392
00:22:25,960 --> 00:22:28,280
Speaker 1: we can all agree this is stupid. So I'm just

393
00:22:28,320 --> 00:22:32,120
Speaker 1: gonna crank this out and be done with it, or

394
00:22:32,480 --> 00:22:35,840
Speaker 1: I'm gonna make it completely different and an adult movie

395
00:22:36,200 --> 00:22:37,760
Speaker 1: that would scare teenagers.

396
00:22:38,240 --> 00:22:41,679
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think we are nearing the time when video

397
00:22:41,720 --> 00:22:45,080
Speaker 2: game movies will be taken fully seriously. I think I

398
00:22:45,080 --> 00:22:49,880
Speaker 2: think we're getting close to that oh where movies is there?

399
00:22:50,440 --> 00:22:54,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, now we take whoever won the PALMDA or and

400
00:22:54,040 --> 00:22:56,959
Speaker 1: we're like, you get the next Jurassic Park movie, and

401
00:22:57,119 --> 00:22:59,679
Speaker 1: they're like, thank you, sir, yes, daddy.

402
00:23:00,720 --> 00:23:01,639
Speaker 2: Here's a sliver of the.

403
00:23:02,160 --> 00:23:04,439
Speaker 1: I don't think that's a problem anymore, but I do

404
00:23:04,520 --> 00:23:06,520
Speaker 1: think it's lost on people. I think people are like,

405
00:23:06,560 --> 00:23:09,240
Speaker 1: why did they make it so shitty? It's like because

406
00:23:09,280 --> 00:23:13,159
Speaker 1: they were adults and they were embarrassed and everything was

407
00:23:14,040 --> 00:23:16,680
Speaker 1: about being an adult back then, like there was a

408
00:23:17,119 --> 00:23:20,480
Speaker 1: different time. All right, let's take a quick break, we'll

409
00:23:20,480 --> 00:23:23,960
Speaker 1: come back, we'll talk about the ultimate adult. Elon Musk

410
00:23:24,160 --> 00:23:39,720
Speaker 1: will be right now, and we're back, and let's talk

411
00:23:39,720 --> 00:23:44,480
Speaker 1: about SpaceX. Let's talk about so their Starship rocket. They

412
00:23:44,560 --> 00:23:49,480
Speaker 1: successfully launched the largest heaviest rocket ever launched. It really

413
00:23:49,480 --> 00:23:51,639
Speaker 1: looked like it was like groaning as it was like

414
00:23:51,680 --> 00:23:56,960
Speaker 1: getting off the ground. Truly. Yeah, it looked heavy as

415
00:23:56,960 --> 00:24:02,720
Speaker 1: it was launching, and it immediately blew up. And so

416
00:24:03,560 --> 00:24:06,880
Speaker 1: the immediate spin that came off of this was that

417
00:24:06,920 --> 00:24:11,480
Speaker 1: SpaceX knew that the test flight might fail. Employees even

418
00:24:11,600 --> 00:24:16,320
Speaker 1: cheered as the fucking thing blew up. And I think

419
00:24:16,359 --> 00:24:18,399
Speaker 1: a lot of people were like, well, maybe that's just

420
00:24:18,440 --> 00:24:20,159
Speaker 1: the best you can hope for when you work for

421
00:24:20,320 --> 00:24:23,920
Speaker 1: Elon Musk. But it felt like very culty to me,

422
00:24:24,640 --> 00:24:30,080
Speaker 1: Like the thing a three billion dollar spaceship explodes and

423
00:24:30,119 --> 00:24:34,080
Speaker 1: they're all like, yay, we're all so happy here even

424
00:24:34,119 --> 00:24:37,280
Speaker 1: when things don't go according to plan. We've programmed all

425
00:24:37,359 --> 00:24:41,520
Speaker 1: negative emotions out. We're just like, I'm just psyched to

426
00:24:41,600 --> 00:24:43,720
Speaker 1: be here. I'm psyched you're here with me. We think

427
00:24:43,720 --> 00:24:46,600
Speaker 1: you're gonna love our leader. Have you met him? Have

428
00:24:46,680 --> 00:24:47,359
Speaker 1: you met Elon?

429
00:24:47,760 --> 00:24:53,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's very much. You win some, you learn some, yes, yes, yeah.

430
00:24:53,400 --> 00:24:56,240
Speaker 1: But and and also the other little detail that everyone's

431
00:24:56,280 --> 00:24:59,199
Speaker 1: putting on it, like the major components are designed to

432
00:24:59,280 --> 00:25:03,600
Speaker 1: be reused, so this is no problem, right, but like

433
00:25:03,640 --> 00:25:08,760
Speaker 1: there's no details on or like footage of the things

434
00:25:08,800 --> 00:25:14,439
Speaker 1: that exploded like safely landing back on Earth, and in

435
00:25:14,480 --> 00:25:15,199
Speaker 1: fact there is.

436
00:25:15,520 --> 00:25:16,719
Speaker 3: It's usually not what happened.

437
00:25:16,760 --> 00:25:20,200
Speaker 2: Well, yeah, that's say, well, usually explode and then disintegrade

438
00:25:20,200 --> 00:25:21,520
Speaker 2: and spread all over the place.

439
00:25:21,320 --> 00:25:23,560
Speaker 1: As a matter of fact, Like the major components being

440
00:25:23,600 --> 00:25:26,760
Speaker 1: designed to be reused doesn't seem to apply here. But

441
00:25:27,040 --> 00:25:29,040
Speaker 1: that is like something that they're like, yeah, no, it's

442
00:25:29,080 --> 00:25:31,320
Speaker 1: actually no big deal. You know, this is reusable. We

443
00:25:31,359 --> 00:25:33,200
Speaker 1: knew it was going to probably explode. It was three

444
00:25:33,240 --> 00:25:35,359
Speaker 1: billion dollars. But that's actually not a big deal to us.

445
00:25:35,600 --> 00:25:38,720
Speaker 1: It's the components can't be indestructible.

446
00:25:38,440 --> 00:25:38,600
Speaker 4: Like.

447
00:25:40,320 --> 00:25:42,679
Speaker 3: Otherwise it wouldn't have exploded.

448
00:25:43,840 --> 00:25:45,720
Speaker 1: Right, It's a really good point.

449
00:25:46,480 --> 00:25:48,159
Speaker 2: I just want to know. I mean, I have to

450
00:25:48,280 --> 00:25:50,640
Speaker 2: have to get to read into this little bit more,

451
00:25:50,800 --> 00:25:53,200
Speaker 2: but I know that you know, the two major parts

452
00:25:53,200 --> 00:25:55,760
Speaker 2: were the actual shuttle itself and then the Falcon heavy

453
00:25:55,800 --> 00:25:58,399
Speaker 2: which is what's lifting it up off the ground, and

454
00:25:58,840 --> 00:26:03,600
Speaker 2: that thing doesn't usually explode. But if both parts exploded,

455
00:26:03,640 --> 00:26:05,080
Speaker 2: I mean, like, yeah, I don't think you're getting any

456
00:26:05,080 --> 00:26:08,440
Speaker 2: of that back unless it detached and then that part exploded.

457
00:26:08,480 --> 00:26:10,720
Speaker 1: But right, okay, maybe it was like a thing that

458
00:26:10,840 --> 00:26:14,280
Speaker 1: had already been detached. But it was four minutes. It

459
00:26:14,320 --> 00:26:17,680
Speaker 1: wasn't that much time after it was lunch. It wasn't

460
00:26:18,160 --> 00:26:22,040
Speaker 1: didn't seem like much went according to plan. There's also

461
00:26:22,080 --> 00:26:27,120
Speaker 1: like footage from the ground and like pieces of debris

462
00:26:27,160 --> 00:26:30,800
Speaker 1: are just like flying off and like destroying cars that

463
00:26:30,840 --> 00:26:34,520
Speaker 1: are there. I'm sure if anyone got hurt by any

464
00:26:34,560 --> 00:26:42,040
Speaker 1: of this, they were just like you know, buried immediately. Yeah,

465
00:26:42,080 --> 00:26:47,560
Speaker 1: while everyone was cheering, he is being taken to the planet,

466
00:26:48,040 --> 00:26:51,159
Speaker 1: the afterlife planet that Elon will take us all to.

467
00:26:51,720 --> 00:26:54,199
Speaker 1: There's a video, a great video of a minivan just

468
00:26:54,200 --> 00:26:57,520
Speaker 1: getting completely wrecked by a piece of debris coming off

469
00:26:57,560 --> 00:27:00,920
Speaker 1: of this as like smoke just shrouds every think if

470
00:27:00,920 --> 00:27:05,800
Speaker 1: only it had been a cyber truck, but it's I

471
00:27:05,800 --> 00:27:08,840
Speaker 1: don't know. They tried to frame it as a test flight.

472
00:27:09,480 --> 00:27:12,199
Speaker 1: Looked like it went really bad. They called it a

473
00:27:12,359 --> 00:27:17,040
Speaker 1: rapid unscheduled disassembly. This is their tweet as if a

474
00:27:17,119 --> 00:27:20,760
Speaker 1: flight test was not exciting enough, Starship experienced a rapid

475
00:27:20,840 --> 00:27:24,000
Speaker 1: unscheduled disassembly before stage separation.

476
00:27:24,680 --> 00:27:30,840
Speaker 3: Now that is some pr That is some really, I mean,

477
00:27:30,960 --> 00:27:35,520
Speaker 3: talk about taking creative liberties with language.

478
00:27:36,520 --> 00:27:40,560
Speaker 1: It's pretty impressive. It's a So this is my question,

479
00:27:40,720 --> 00:27:44,879
Speaker 1: Like there's a scenario that I've been like, I think

480
00:27:44,920 --> 00:27:46,760
Speaker 1: a lot of people have probably been kicking around their

481
00:27:46,800 --> 00:27:50,600
Speaker 1: head that like seems like it can't be true because

482
00:27:50,640 --> 00:27:53,520
Speaker 1: it's like just a little too pat and cute. But

483
00:27:53,560 --> 00:27:56,560
Speaker 1: it's also like every day I feel like it seems

484
00:27:57,200 --> 00:28:00,439
Speaker 1: less and less far fetched. You know the episode thirty

485
00:28:00,520 --> 00:28:04,439
Speaker 1: Rock the Bubble with John Hamm where he's like a

486
00:28:04,480 --> 00:28:09,679
Speaker 1: handsome doctor yeah and former tennis coach and Liz discovers

487
00:28:09,720 --> 00:28:12,119
Speaker 1: like he can't even perform the him like maneuver or

488
00:28:12,200 --> 00:28:16,399
Speaker 1: play tennis and like everything. He's just like he rides

489
00:28:16,400 --> 00:28:18,679
Speaker 1: a motorcycle, but he like can't even like ride it.

490
00:28:18,800 --> 00:28:21,879
Speaker 1: He just like crashes into everything because he lives in

491
00:28:21,920 --> 00:28:26,080
Speaker 1: the bubble, like a protective barrier of goodwill that follows

492
00:28:26,119 --> 00:28:28,320
Speaker 1: him around because he's so handsome.

493
00:28:28,480 --> 00:28:31,680
Speaker 3: Everyone just he's they've got he's got yes men all

494
00:28:31,720 --> 00:28:32,679
Speaker 3: around him.

495
00:28:32,520 --> 00:28:36,560
Speaker 1: Exactly, And obviously that is not what's happening with Elon Musk,

496
00:28:36,640 --> 00:28:40,800
Speaker 1: because he looks like he's had the dark Side working

497
00:28:40,840 --> 00:28:42,880
Speaker 1: on him for the past ten years. Like he looks

498
00:28:42,880 --> 00:28:44,760
Speaker 1: like he's like one fifth of the way to what

499
00:28:44,880 --> 00:28:47,200
Speaker 1: Darth Vader looks like under the mask at the end

500
00:28:47,280 --> 00:28:50,960
Speaker 1: of Return of the Jedi. But I think the fifth

501
00:28:53,880 --> 00:29:00,160
Speaker 1: the poetry. I think it's like a combination of we

502
00:29:00,160 --> 00:29:02,280
Speaker 1: we need Like I think our part in it is

503
00:29:02,400 --> 00:29:06,400
Speaker 1: we needed a Tony Stark, like we as all these

504
00:29:06,440 --> 00:29:10,240
Speaker 1: things were like sort of accumulating it, like climate change

505
00:29:10,240 --> 00:29:13,440
Speaker 1: is going to end the world, and we needed a

506
00:29:13,520 --> 00:29:18,840
Speaker 1: Tony Stark to replace Steve Jobs, and we needed like

507
00:29:18,920 --> 00:29:22,200
Speaker 1: somebody and we wanted them to have like answers to

508
00:29:22,360 --> 00:29:25,600
Speaker 1: climate change and stuff, and we needed it so bad

509
00:29:25,680 --> 00:29:28,680
Speaker 1: we just like grafted it onto Elon Musk. We were

510
00:29:28,720 --> 00:29:31,640
Speaker 1: just like, that is Tony Stark, and we're going to

511
00:29:31,720 --> 00:29:34,120
Speaker 1: run with that. Like that. I think that's a small

512
00:29:34,160 --> 00:29:36,400
Speaker 1: part of it, Like people wanted to believe it at first,

513
00:29:36,520 --> 00:29:41,400
Speaker 1: and then from a structural perspective, you just have a

514
00:29:41,600 --> 00:29:45,720
Speaker 1: media that is run by billionaires, and like the day

515
00:29:45,760 --> 00:29:49,200
Speaker 1: to day people are mostly people who went to like

516
00:29:49,320 --> 00:29:53,960
Speaker 1: Ivy League schools with the children of millionaires or themselves

517
00:29:54,000 --> 00:29:57,000
Speaker 1: or the children of millionaires, and like you know, they

518
00:29:57,080 --> 00:29:59,960
Speaker 1: all are super interested in holding on to the idea

519
00:30:00,160 --> 00:30:04,440
Speaker 1: that like our world is a meritocracy, and so elon

520
00:30:04,520 --> 00:30:08,680
Speaker 1: Musk being an idiot while being the richest man in

521
00:30:08,720 --> 00:30:12,520
Speaker 1: the world, like is a fatal wound for that myth.

522
00:30:13,040 --> 00:30:16,160
Speaker 1: And so I just think that he there's a lot

523
00:30:16,200 --> 00:30:21,200
Speaker 1: of these structural factors that have been leaving him in

524
00:30:21,240 --> 00:30:24,440
Speaker 1: this bubble for a long time. And I think a

525
00:30:24,440 --> 00:30:27,320
Speaker 1: lot of people started talking about this when Twitter, when

526
00:30:27,320 --> 00:30:29,920
Speaker 1: he was just like so bad at running Twitter, like

527
00:30:30,040 --> 00:30:33,880
Speaker 1: just so making decisions that everyone could have told you

528
00:30:33,960 --> 00:30:37,480
Speaker 1: were like bad. But like now we're seeing SpaceX like

529
00:30:37,600 --> 00:30:40,520
Speaker 1: just be a complete disaster, and I think people are like, well,

530
00:30:40,520 --> 00:30:43,720
Speaker 1: I don't see you like launching rockets or anything. It's

531
00:30:43,760 --> 00:30:46,720
Speaker 1: like he's not doing that shit either. He's just a

532
00:30:47,560 --> 00:30:53,440
Speaker 1: like figurehead cheerleader who has bad ideas, like he like

533
00:30:53,520 --> 00:30:57,280
Speaker 1: the have launching a three billion dollar rocket and being like,

534
00:30:57,360 --> 00:31:00,560
Speaker 1: but we don't care if it explodes is a bad idea.

535
00:31:01,120 --> 00:31:03,760
Speaker 1: It could hurt people what's.

536
00:31:03,560 --> 00:31:06,680
Speaker 3: The Jeff Goldbloom quote from Jurassic Park where he's like,

537
00:31:06,880 --> 00:31:09,959
Speaker 3: you guys were so wrapped up and think of figuring

538
00:31:09,960 --> 00:31:12,480
Speaker 3: out whether or not you could that you didn't stop

539
00:31:12,520 --> 00:31:14,120
Speaker 3: to think if you should something.

540
00:31:14,200 --> 00:31:14,560
Speaker 2: Nailed it?

541
00:31:14,960 --> 00:31:16,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, thanks so much.

542
00:31:16,560 --> 00:31:18,840
Speaker 3: I have a master's degree in movie.

543
00:31:20,160 --> 00:31:26,440
Speaker 1: And that was your thesis was just quoting dialogue of

544
00:31:26,880 --> 00:31:30,360
Speaker 1: the movie. You start to have a master's in movie quotes.

545
00:31:30,240 --> 00:31:30,320
Speaker 4: And.

546
00:31:32,120 --> 00:31:34,360
Speaker 2: That's your dissertation. And the last question is can you

547
00:31:34,400 --> 00:31:35,000
Speaker 2: remember that one thing?

548
00:31:35,080 --> 00:31:35,280
Speaker 1: Jeff?

549
00:31:37,440 --> 00:31:39,040
Speaker 3: And then I was like, oh wait, what is it?

550
00:31:39,520 --> 00:31:42,400
Speaker 3: And then blah blah blah, and then the crowd goes wild.

551
00:31:42,640 --> 00:31:43,560
Speaker 1: The crowd goes wow.

552
00:31:45,040 --> 00:31:48,800
Speaker 3: Also, not to bring up Titanic, but I feel like

553
00:31:48,800 --> 00:31:51,280
Speaker 3: there's a lot of Titanic parallels here where it's like

554
00:31:51,360 --> 00:31:55,320
Speaker 3: Titanic was being built. Everyone's like, it's the largest moving

555
00:31:55,520 --> 00:31:58,520
Speaker 3: object ever created by man. It's so awesome that we

556
00:31:58,800 --> 00:32:01,480
Speaker 3: you know, isn't it so cool that it's huge, it's

557
00:32:01,720 --> 00:32:05,720
Speaker 3: one hundred feet longer than the Martinia and far more luxurious.

558
00:32:05,880 --> 00:32:08,840
Speaker 3: Blah blah blah. And then what does it do? It

559
00:32:09,040 --> 00:32:10,480
Speaker 3: crashes into an iceberg.

560
00:32:10,160 --> 00:32:17,680
Speaker 1: Because on latch on the Maiden Journey motherfucking voice.

561
00:32:18,360 --> 00:32:24,000
Speaker 3: As Bill Paxton points out in the movie the the

562
00:32:24,040 --> 00:32:27,400
Speaker 3: ship doesn't corner worth a damn. It's too big with

563
00:32:27,440 --> 00:32:30,200
Speaker 3: too small a rudders and it can't turn and hit

564
00:32:30,680 --> 00:32:34,680
Speaker 3: like avoid the iceberg time. It's the same thing with this.

565
00:32:35,240 --> 00:32:40,480
Speaker 1: You're so busy, that's my other he could his character

566
00:32:40,840 --> 00:32:44,560
Speaker 1: has like such a just like gnar bro voice, and

567
00:32:44,640 --> 00:32:47,480
Speaker 1: that it always takes me back. I'm like, oh, yeah,

568
00:32:47,600 --> 00:32:55,760
Speaker 1: this guy is the bookend of the of the film,

569
00:32:55,800 --> 00:32:57,280
Speaker 1: just a treasure hunter Man.

570
00:32:58,360 --> 00:33:02,160
Speaker 3: One of his more toned down performances, Bill Paxson is

571
00:33:02,400 --> 00:33:04,520
Speaker 3: usually screaming at the top of his lunch.

572
00:33:04,600 --> 00:33:08,360
Speaker 1: Yeah truly, But yeah, I don't know, do you guys

573
00:33:08,360 --> 00:33:13,440
Speaker 1: think he's like because even people who criticize him are like,

574
00:33:13,520 --> 00:33:16,240
Speaker 1: I mean, obviously he's a genius. He just sent me

575
00:33:16,240 --> 00:33:18,600
Speaker 1: a poop emoji for asking why he didn't think to

576
00:33:18,720 --> 00:33:22,600
Speaker 1: hire a custodial staff for his workforce. Obviously he's a genius.

577
00:33:22,880 --> 00:33:25,360
Speaker 1: But he's making some questionable moves here, and it's our

578
00:33:25,440 --> 00:33:29,880
Speaker 1: job to figure out how this is. For d chess, Like,

579
00:33:30,440 --> 00:33:33,760
Speaker 1: is there any chance that he's just an idiot?

580
00:33:34,400 --> 00:33:34,640
Speaker 3: Yeah?

581
00:33:35,360 --> 00:33:38,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, Like it seems it seems like it might be

582
00:33:38,280 --> 00:33:41,560
Speaker 1: like it seems weird to be to be like all

583
00:33:41,680 --> 00:33:45,200
Speaker 1: these people who entrusted him with all this money were wrong,

584
00:33:45,680 --> 00:33:50,080
Speaker 1: but they are all like so steeped in this myth

585
00:33:50,160 --> 00:33:53,480
Speaker 1: building of like the genius billionaire. And I just think

586
00:33:53,840 --> 00:33:57,920
Speaker 1: we talked about like Hitler in World War Two, like

587
00:33:58,240 --> 00:34:01,240
Speaker 1: a lot of like retroactive history wants to make him

588
00:34:01,240 --> 00:34:04,640
Speaker 1: into an evil genius, but he there's a lot of

589
00:34:04,680 --> 00:34:07,200
Speaker 1: evidence that he was just an idiot who was at

590
00:34:07,200 --> 00:34:09,680
Speaker 1: the right place at the right time, Like he like

591
00:34:09,960 --> 00:34:13,640
Speaker 1: slept in. He's like on heroin and speed and like

592
00:34:13,719 --> 00:34:16,439
Speaker 1: slept it until noon every day and.

593
00:34:16,920 --> 00:34:20,439
Speaker 3: Was just sorry, what's wrong with that?

594
00:34:20,640 --> 00:34:22,960
Speaker 1: Yeah? But it's like why the d Day of Vasion

595
00:34:23,040 --> 00:34:26,399
Speaker 1: it worked was because they didn't want to wake Hitler up.

596
00:34:27,600 --> 00:34:30,480
Speaker 1: And I don't know, it's just it's not infitting with

597
00:34:30,600 --> 00:34:35,080
Speaker 1: the myth that they wanted for him, but like history

598
00:34:35,120 --> 00:34:38,799
Speaker 1: almost needed this evil genius character, so they like invented

599
00:34:38,800 --> 00:34:41,440
Speaker 1: it around this dipshit. I'm just wondering if we're like

600
00:34:41,480 --> 00:34:44,920
Speaker 1: seeing a similar thing happen with Elon Muskk, where just

601
00:34:45,480 --> 00:34:51,279
Speaker 1: we will persistently try to make him into a like

602
00:34:51,800 --> 00:34:55,879
Speaker 1: at least a misguided genius and it's just I don't

603
00:34:56,080 --> 00:34:58,000
Speaker 1: think that's what it is. At this point.

604
00:34:58,280 --> 00:35:00,920
Speaker 2: I'm gonna I'm gonna break k fab here for a second.

605
00:35:01,440 --> 00:35:06,600
Speaker 2: And because Elon Musk is undoubtedly a dip shit, but

606
00:35:07,440 --> 00:35:11,680
Speaker 2: I do think what SpaceX as a as an organization

607
00:35:11,920 --> 00:35:16,320
Speaker 2: or as a company is doing is is mind blowing

608
00:35:16,400 --> 00:35:20,000
Speaker 2: and incredibly important. And while I do think, like, you know,

609
00:35:20,040 --> 00:35:22,200
Speaker 2: the celebrating for these tests, I think that is kind

610
00:35:22,200 --> 00:35:24,640
Speaker 2: of like, you know, participating in the cult of worship

611
00:35:24,680 --> 00:35:26,480
Speaker 2: of Elon and being like, oh, it's all good, blah

612
00:35:26,480 --> 00:35:29,000
Speaker 2: blah blah, is a little bit like whatever, you guys,

613
00:35:29,040 --> 00:35:31,600
Speaker 2: aren't really that thrill that you just blew three billion dollars.

614
00:35:32,320 --> 00:35:36,279
Speaker 2: I do think that the fact that this company that

615
00:35:36,320 --> 00:35:38,799
Speaker 2: he just happens to be, I don't even is he

616
00:35:39,000 --> 00:35:40,960
Speaker 2: Is he the CEO or is he just on the

617
00:35:40,960 --> 00:35:42,840
Speaker 2: board of director. I don't even know what the deal is.

618
00:35:42,880 --> 00:35:44,120
Speaker 2: He just put a bunch of money into it. But

619
00:35:44,160 --> 00:35:46,959
Speaker 2: the fact is it's like that they invented these these

620
00:35:47,120 --> 00:35:50,680
Speaker 2: thrust rockets that get stuff off the ground into space

621
00:35:50,800 --> 00:35:54,760
Speaker 2: and land back down. Is sci fi? Is actual fucking

622
00:35:54,800 --> 00:35:58,280
Speaker 2: sci fi That is amazing, Yeah, and and will change.

623
00:35:58,440 --> 00:36:01,279
Speaker 2: Is space Traveled forever. So yes, I am breaking KFA

624
00:36:01,400 --> 00:36:04,960
Speaker 2: here by celebrating SpaceX. It's true, but like he is

625
00:36:05,000 --> 00:36:09,360
Speaker 2: one hundred percent of dipshit, and SpaceX succeeds in spite

626
00:36:09,360 --> 00:36:12,440
Speaker 2: of him. I think what they do is awesome, and

627
00:36:12,520 --> 00:36:15,560
Speaker 2: I think what they are bringing to spaceflight is incredible,

628
00:36:16,520 --> 00:36:18,960
Speaker 2: despite the fact that he is such a piece of shit,

629
00:36:19,080 --> 00:36:24,320
Speaker 2: asshole that sucks, sucks shit, He's whacked.

630
00:36:27,880 --> 00:36:37,520
Speaker 1: Can we live for a drop? Whack? He's shit, just

631
00:36:37,520 --> 00:36:40,759
Speaker 1: that whole run by Dan Oldre. Yeah, No, I don't know,

632
00:36:40,880 --> 00:36:43,440
Speaker 1: Like that's the That's the thing that's confusing to me

633
00:36:43,719 --> 00:36:47,080
Speaker 1: is that he is at the front of these companies

634
00:36:47,120 --> 00:36:50,160
Speaker 1: that are doing interesting things, and in case of SpaceX,

635
00:36:50,200 --> 00:36:53,520
Speaker 1: may be very important things. But he seems to be

636
00:36:53,680 --> 00:36:57,960
Speaker 1: so persistently just such a dip shit, and I, like,

637
00:36:58,040 --> 00:37:00,080
Speaker 1: I guess I had always assumed, like, yeah, he he

638
00:37:00,719 --> 00:37:05,760
Speaker 1: a misguided, dipshit genius something like he has a genius

639
00:37:05,800 --> 00:37:10,080
Speaker 1: in a certain area. But I the idea that history

640
00:37:10,320 --> 00:37:14,360
Speaker 1: just sometimes needs someone for a role and the person

641
00:37:14,560 --> 00:37:17,440
Speaker 1: just like goes along with it and they just like

642
00:37:17,640 --> 00:37:23,879
Speaker 1: keep failing upwards is I don't know, when you look

643
00:37:23,920 --> 00:37:27,799
Speaker 1: at how hit like there's the great man theory of

644
00:37:27,920 --> 00:37:30,680
Speaker 1: history where it's like these great men have these ideas

645
00:37:30,680 --> 00:37:33,160
Speaker 1: and they like changed everything and then but if you

646
00:37:33,480 --> 00:37:36,640
Speaker 1: actually look at it, it's like sometimes it's just a

647
00:37:36,680 --> 00:37:40,920
Speaker 1: dipshit getting swept into a very specific lane that they

648
00:37:41,000 --> 00:37:42,400
Speaker 1: needed them to fill.

649
00:37:42,680 --> 00:37:45,160
Speaker 2: I think that is very particularly the case here with

650
00:37:45,200 --> 00:37:50,360
Speaker 2: Elon because like again, PayPal, Tesla, and SpaceX all companies

651
00:37:50,520 --> 00:37:52,680
Speaker 2: none of which he invented or even came up with

652
00:37:52,719 --> 00:37:55,000
Speaker 2: the ideas for. They're just things that he invested into

653
00:37:55,040 --> 00:37:57,440
Speaker 2: the point that he has ownership. Like it's not like

654
00:37:57,520 --> 00:37:59,960
Speaker 2: he's the genius. He's just the face of them because

655
00:38:00,040 --> 00:38:03,160
Speaker 2: he had the money to put into them. And the

656
00:38:03,160 --> 00:38:05,360
Speaker 2: only genius is that he looked at them and said,

657
00:38:05,520 --> 00:38:07,440
Speaker 2: oh this is cool. Yeah, this is a good thing

658
00:38:07,520 --> 00:38:09,680
Speaker 2: to invest in and for sure, and like that's not

659
00:38:10,000 --> 00:38:13,359
Speaker 2: wrong totally. That's a good place to put your money,

660
00:38:13,440 --> 00:38:15,880
Speaker 2: for sure, and they are important things despite the you know,

661
00:38:16,760 --> 00:38:18,440
Speaker 2: I mean, the cyber truck is a piece of shit.

662
00:38:18,600 --> 00:38:21,880
Speaker 2: The quality control on Teslas are absolutely awful, but like

663
00:38:22,000 --> 00:38:26,239
Speaker 2: the Tesla batteries are cool, the the rockets are awesome. Yeah,

664
00:38:26,520 --> 00:38:29,680
Speaker 2: Paypals old whatever, But like he put his money in

665
00:38:29,680 --> 00:38:31,799
Speaker 2: the right place. But that's it like all he is

666
00:38:31,800 --> 00:38:34,400
Speaker 2: is the money and unfortunately now the face of these companies,

667
00:38:34,480 --> 00:38:35,520
Speaker 2: so that that sucks.

668
00:38:35,960 --> 00:38:39,000
Speaker 1: I think every billionaire is very skilled at being a

669
00:38:39,040 --> 00:38:44,480
Speaker 1: predatory opportunist like that is, and that is basically all

670
00:38:44,520 --> 00:38:46,640
Speaker 1: it takes to be a billionaire is like being a

671
00:38:46,760 --> 00:38:50,839
Speaker 1: very skilled opportunistic pres right, Like he just sees an

672
00:38:50,840 --> 00:38:54,560
Speaker 1: opportunity to make more money, expend their money, triple their

673
00:38:54,560 --> 00:38:57,960
Speaker 1: money at like an exponential rate, and just pounds and

674
00:38:58,000 --> 00:39:01,280
Speaker 1: pounds and pounds and pounds. So I definitely I don't

675
00:39:01,360 --> 00:39:05,080
Speaker 1: doubt that he has a genius for doing that, as

676
00:39:05,120 --> 00:39:09,680
Speaker 1: does every other billionaire. It's just a very boring genius

677
00:39:09,920 --> 00:39:13,920
Speaker 1: like type of genius that I think only gets treated

678
00:39:14,520 --> 00:39:18,719
Speaker 1: treated something that we're willing to linize because they are

679
00:39:18,719 --> 00:39:21,600
Speaker 1: in control of all the media at brands.

680
00:39:21,880 --> 00:39:23,320
Speaker 2: You know, Yeah, that part sucks.

681
00:39:23,600 --> 00:39:30,919
Speaker 3: Yeah, pp pooh pooh, my friend Jamie, all right, let's

682
00:39:30,920 --> 00:39:33,319
Speaker 3: take a quick break and we'll be right back.

683
00:39:43,960 --> 00:39:48,640
Speaker 1: And we're back. And so is McDonald's, do you guys,

684
00:39:48,920 --> 00:39:50,759
Speaker 1: McDonald They did it.

685
00:39:51,320 --> 00:39:51,839
Speaker 2: They did it.

686
00:39:52,400 --> 00:39:57,799
Speaker 1: So this this is being treated as in some corners,

687
00:39:57,840 --> 00:40:01,680
Speaker 1: probably just in places that are willing to regurgitate a

688
00:40:01,920 --> 00:40:05,560
Speaker 1: McDonald's press release, but and be like this is a

689
00:40:05,600 --> 00:40:13,399
Speaker 1: news story because we fired our entire newsroom. But there

690
00:40:13,520 --> 00:40:15,919
Speaker 1: so McDonald's is soon going to offer. This is being

691
00:40:15,960 --> 00:40:19,880
Speaker 1: treated like now you can get breakfast all day from McDonald's,

692
00:40:19,880 --> 00:40:22,960
Speaker 1: which was like huge news for everyone, Like that news

693
00:40:23,000 --> 00:40:27,040
Speaker 1: story was underrated, like the when McDonald's went to changing

694
00:40:27,600 --> 00:40:30,120
Speaker 1: so that you can get McDonald's breakfast every all day,

695
00:40:30,239 --> 00:40:33,880
Speaker 1: every day, Like yeah, we that that should have been

696
00:40:33,920 --> 00:40:37,760
Speaker 1: a national holiday, big things, but this is this is bullshit.

697
00:40:37,880 --> 00:40:40,920
Speaker 1: I'm going to say they're they're going to offer individual

698
00:40:41,000 --> 00:40:44,520
Speaker 1: packets a big mac sauce for McNuggets or just to

699
00:40:44,600 --> 00:40:47,880
Speaker 1: accumulate and then bathe in. I don't know what the

700
00:40:48,000 --> 00:40:49,280
Speaker 1: ultimate goal is here.

701
00:40:49,920 --> 00:40:52,480
Speaker 2: You're spoiling my future YouTube content here, Jack.

702
00:40:53,000 --> 00:40:56,080
Speaker 3: Again, I ask, what's the matter with that?

703
00:40:58,000 --> 00:41:00,200
Speaker 1: But you you have to order it through the app app,

704
00:41:00,640 --> 00:41:03,239
Speaker 1: which means that this is all about forcing customers to

705
00:41:03,280 --> 00:41:07,080
Speaker 1: download the app and get access to more data because

706
00:41:07,360 --> 00:41:11,520
Speaker 1: the entire like all these companies are like we're yes,

707
00:41:12,040 --> 00:41:14,080
Speaker 1: you know when when they get behind closed doors and

708
00:41:14,120 --> 00:41:17,520
Speaker 1: talk to investors, everything from like credit card companies to

709
00:41:18,600 --> 00:41:22,360
Speaker 1: you know, streaming companies, that they're all like, we're actually

710
00:41:22,560 --> 00:41:26,840
Speaker 1: data companies. That's what we do. We know everything about

711
00:41:26,840 --> 00:41:32,719
Speaker 1: customers and we make marketing to them easier. So anyways,

712
00:41:32,960 --> 00:41:36,600
Speaker 1: I don't know that this doesn't I can't imagine. I can't.

713
00:41:36,920 --> 00:41:40,000
Speaker 1: I can't like mentally come up with the person who

714
00:41:40,040 --> 00:41:43,680
Speaker 1: is excited about getting access to Big Back sauce or

715
00:41:44,320 --> 00:41:46,439
Speaker 1: am I in the room with one of those people? First?

716
00:41:46,920 --> 00:41:48,759
Speaker 1: Ask is one of.

717
00:41:48,680 --> 00:41:50,080
Speaker 2: Them present personally?

718
00:41:50,160 --> 00:41:50,239
Speaker 1: No?

719
00:41:50,360 --> 00:41:56,920
Speaker 2: But Kaitlin, No, No, I mean I.

720
00:41:58,080 --> 00:42:03,400
Speaker 3: I don't eat really much meat anymore and definitely not

721
00:42:03,760 --> 00:42:04,520
Speaker 3: many mammals.

722
00:42:04,560 --> 00:42:04,920
Speaker 1: I don't know.

723
00:42:04,960 --> 00:42:07,720
Speaker 3: My diet is confusing. It's like I eat a mostly

724
00:42:07,920 --> 00:42:11,240
Speaker 3: plant based diet, but sometimes I have meat cheat days,

725
00:42:12,360 --> 00:42:15,160
Speaker 3: just sort of like the Fifth Sifth and the Camp Camp.

726
00:42:16,160 --> 00:42:19,080
Speaker 3: I love a good wordplace meat cheat. I love it,

727
00:42:19,120 --> 00:42:21,960
Speaker 3: so I have my meat cheat days. But yeah, I mean,

728
00:42:21,960 --> 00:42:24,160
Speaker 3: but I used to love Big Max and I got

729
00:42:24,200 --> 00:42:26,400
Speaker 3: to say their sauce is tasty. But I'm not going

730
00:42:26,480 --> 00:42:28,239
Speaker 3: to go out of my way to go get some.

731
00:42:28,960 --> 00:42:31,440
Speaker 1: No, I'm not here to say that the Big Max

732
00:42:31,480 --> 00:42:34,440
Speaker 1: sauce is not tasty or Big Max are not one

733
00:42:34,480 --> 00:42:38,240
Speaker 1: of the great sandwiches. I'm just when you have a

734
00:42:38,280 --> 00:42:43,200
Speaker 1: Big Mac copycat, it is the sauce is identical, like

735
00:42:44,120 --> 00:42:49,440
Speaker 1: it ketchup, Like there's only really a couple of good ketchups,

736
00:42:49,520 --> 00:42:53,320
Speaker 1: and like, for whatever reason, they can't like nail ketch

737
00:42:53,400 --> 00:42:55,920
Speaker 1: up other than like Hines and McDonald's does a pretty

738
00:42:55,920 --> 00:43:00,880
Speaker 1: good job with their proprietary ketchup, but Big Max everybody's

739
00:43:00,920 --> 00:43:04,400
Speaker 1: figured out and so like it's just doesn't seem like

740
00:43:05,280 --> 00:43:08,640
Speaker 1: a thing to me personally, but also.

741
00:43:08,440 --> 00:43:10,200
Speaker 2: Just feels like a little bit like late in the

742
00:43:10,239 --> 00:43:12,680
Speaker 2: sauce game for it to be the thing that you're

743
00:43:12,719 --> 00:43:15,879
Speaker 2: offering when it's like every other burger place has been

744
00:43:17,640 --> 00:43:21,440
Speaker 2: giving away that kind of sauce forever. Yeah, it's just like,

745
00:43:21,480 --> 00:43:24,399
Speaker 2: you know, the Thousand Island substitutes have been out there

746
00:43:24,520 --> 00:43:29,799
Speaker 2: for generations, and the it's like, I don't know. I mean,

747
00:43:30,160 --> 00:43:32,600
Speaker 2: of course the Big Mac is unique, and the Big

748
00:43:32,640 --> 00:43:34,600
Speaker 2: Mac sauce, it's like that's always been the thing. But

749
00:43:34,640 --> 00:43:37,520
Speaker 2: it's it's just like it feels so late to the

750
00:43:37,600 --> 00:43:40,120
Speaker 2: game to be like, and here's here's a sauce we're

751
00:43:40,120 --> 00:43:42,400
Speaker 2: offering for the first time. It's like, I don't know,

752
00:43:42,440 --> 00:43:43,319
Speaker 2: it's just everybody, but.

753
00:43:43,360 --> 00:43:47,160
Speaker 1: It's twenty twelve, thank you, thank you, Hello.

754
00:43:48,320 --> 00:43:52,600
Speaker 2: But I will say that you know, incentivizing people to

755
00:43:53,000 --> 00:43:55,680
Speaker 2: use an app has got to be the easiest thing

756
00:43:55,880 --> 00:43:58,479
Speaker 2: to do these days, because people just want to check

757
00:43:58,520 --> 00:44:01,200
Speaker 2: in on a thing and click a button and watch

758
00:44:01,320 --> 00:44:04,279
Speaker 2: number go up until the point that it's like, oh, well,

759
00:44:04,320 --> 00:44:06,520
Speaker 2: I get a free thing. Now. It's like the Starbucks

760
00:44:06,560 --> 00:44:10,239
Speaker 2: app is toxic. It is toxic at being so good

761
00:44:10,239 --> 00:44:12,680
Speaker 2: at getting me to buy more coffee so that line

762
00:44:12,760 --> 00:44:14,680
Speaker 2: go up till I have one hundred and fifty stars

763
00:44:14,680 --> 00:44:15,840
Speaker 2: and I can get a free latte.

764
00:44:16,160 --> 00:44:19,520
Speaker 1: Yeah. I feel like the Starbucks app was engineered by

765
00:44:19,520 --> 00:44:21,280
Speaker 1: the same people who made Candy Crush.

766
00:44:21,440 --> 00:44:24,399
Speaker 2: It's just like you quite live, it's fucked up.

767
00:44:25,040 --> 00:44:30,880
Speaker 3: If you gamify something, it makes it. Yeah, the accountability

768
00:44:30,920 --> 00:44:35,040
Speaker 3: and inspiration and motivation, all that stuff. The AMC app

769
00:44:35,080 --> 00:44:37,719
Speaker 3: where it's like, if you spend more money on snacks,

770
00:44:37,760 --> 00:44:40,520
Speaker 3: you get five dollars in which will buy you like

771
00:44:40,800 --> 00:44:45,120
Speaker 3: half of a hot dog. But I'm like, yeah, I

772
00:44:45,680 --> 00:44:49,280
Speaker 3: need more popcorn so I can get a five dollars reward.

773
00:44:49,000 --> 00:44:51,160
Speaker 1: Yes please, I mean, if it fits.

774
00:44:51,400 --> 00:44:53,120
Speaker 2: It's the fuck the thing where it's like we have

775
00:44:53,239 --> 00:44:56,520
Speaker 2: found a way to monetize every part of our lives

776
00:44:56,680 --> 00:44:59,120
Speaker 2: to the point that ah say, rather the companies have

777
00:44:59,160 --> 00:45:03,160
Speaker 2: found ways too monetize our habits such that like I'm

778
00:45:03,440 --> 00:45:06,360
Speaker 2: already going to the movies, or I'm already going to Starbucks,

779
00:45:06,480 --> 00:45:08,839
Speaker 2: or I'm already going to McDonald's or something like that.

780
00:45:09,000 --> 00:45:11,680
Speaker 2: Why not just make it a little bit sweeter of

781
00:45:11,719 --> 00:45:15,080
Speaker 2: a deal. And so I think maybe, while it might

782
00:45:15,160 --> 00:45:18,360
Speaker 2: not encourage new people to download the app, because I

783
00:45:18,360 --> 00:45:19,960
Speaker 2: think all of us here are like, who gives a shit,

784
00:45:20,160 --> 00:45:22,359
Speaker 2: people who are already using the app are now using

785
00:45:22,400 --> 00:45:26,480
Speaker 2: it more being like, oh they added another deal. Well,

786
00:45:26,760 --> 00:45:28,640
Speaker 2: la di da ding ding ding ding ding.

787
00:45:28,840 --> 00:45:32,160
Speaker 1: Yeah. I mean I've been on the McDonald's app for

788
00:45:32,200 --> 00:45:35,640
Speaker 1: most of this recording, just checking out, just refreshing, seeing

789
00:45:35,640 --> 00:45:40,399
Speaker 1: what's what's new, what the drive through wait time is

790
00:45:40,600 --> 00:45:43,359
Speaker 1: at my three closest McDonald's.

791
00:45:42,800 --> 00:45:44,919
Speaker 2: But placing orders of different stories, just getting them ready

792
00:45:44,960 --> 00:45:45,319
Speaker 2: for later.

793
00:45:45,680 --> 00:45:50,799
Speaker 1: Talking about like meat free and big Max that like

794
00:45:51,440 --> 00:45:56,400
Speaker 1: that seems like the easiest beyond collaborate. I don't know

795
00:45:56,480 --> 00:45:58,960
Speaker 1: have they done that the beyond Burger they did.

796
00:45:59,000 --> 00:46:02,120
Speaker 2: They did the mc which was their plant based, plant

797
00:46:02,120 --> 00:46:04,000
Speaker 2: based patty, which they did for a little while, but

798
00:46:04,000 --> 00:46:06,120
Speaker 2: they didn't do it as a big Mac, right, No,

799
00:46:06,200 --> 00:46:08,120
Speaker 2: they did not, well, they also just discontinued. It wasn't

800
00:46:08,160 --> 00:46:08,680
Speaker 2: very popular.

801
00:46:09,040 --> 00:46:12,360
Speaker 1: The big Mac Patty gets lost, and they they could

802
00:46:12,400 --> 00:46:16,920
Speaker 1: like be selling Beyond Patty's in Big Max for a

803
00:46:17,040 --> 00:46:19,799
Speaker 1: year and not tell anyone and everyone probably be like yop.

804
00:46:20,360 --> 00:46:22,240
Speaker 2: So that's what they need to be doing exactly.

805
00:46:22,280 --> 00:46:26,719
Speaker 1: So that this is my free advice to McDonald's, all right,

806
00:46:27,239 --> 00:46:30,120
Speaker 1: and then some free advice for Netflix. Don't shut down

807
00:46:30,160 --> 00:46:33,239
Speaker 1: your DVD service. I just remembered you had it now

808
00:46:33,280 --> 00:46:35,399
Speaker 1: that you're shutting it down, and I want to use

809
00:46:35,440 --> 00:46:40,480
Speaker 1: it again. This is if this was if this was

810
00:46:41,640 --> 00:46:46,000
Speaker 1: like a marketing scheme to be like, our DVD subscriber

811
00:46:46,360 --> 00:46:49,840
Speaker 1: numbers have dropped too low. Let's pretend we're taking it away.

812
00:46:50,160 --> 00:46:55,200
Speaker 1: It has succeeded because I like they so they they've

813
00:46:55,239 --> 00:46:57,640
Speaker 1: announced that they're shutting down their DVD by mail business

814
00:46:57,719 --> 00:47:02,160
Speaker 1: after twenty five years the DVD The Netflix DVD library

815
00:47:02,440 --> 00:47:07,400
Speaker 1: was one of a kind, like over one hundred thousand titles,

816
00:47:07,920 --> 00:47:10,759
Speaker 1: so many films that just like are not available to

817
00:47:10,840 --> 00:47:15,160
Speaker 1: stream anywhere, definitely not on Netflix. Netflix, by the way,

818
00:47:15,280 --> 00:47:20,640
Speaker 1: has I think a total of thirty eight movies older

819
00:47:20,680 --> 00:47:24,200
Speaker 1: than the year nineteen eighty and like ninety two older

820
00:47:24,239 --> 00:47:25,839
Speaker 1: than the year nineteen ninety.

821
00:47:25,840 --> 00:47:28,440
Speaker 2: Right, so which a lot?

822
00:47:29,200 --> 00:47:33,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, are there even ninety movies before nineteen ninety I

823
00:47:33,640 --> 00:47:37,399
Speaker 1: actually don't know. I thought that's when they started making them. Yeah,

824
00:47:37,880 --> 00:47:42,400
Speaker 1: But this is like I feel like I, you know,

825
00:47:42,480 --> 00:47:46,719
Speaker 1: made the switch from doing the DVD thing when I,

826
00:47:46,760 --> 00:47:50,960
Speaker 1: you know, stopped having a DVD player and when Netflix

827
00:47:51,360 --> 00:47:55,279
Speaker 1: still had most things that I wanted to watch, and

828
00:47:55,320 --> 00:47:58,680
Speaker 1: then as the streaming wars have kicked off, and like

829
00:47:58,719 --> 00:48:02,440
Speaker 1: now you have to subscribe to like five different services

830
00:48:02,480 --> 00:48:06,360
Speaker 1: to still have access to all the movies that you

831
00:48:06,400 --> 00:48:08,719
Speaker 1: want to you used to be able to get like

832
00:48:08,840 --> 00:48:12,840
Speaker 1: on Netflix. I feel like it's they I would I

833
00:48:12,880 --> 00:48:14,600
Speaker 1: would go back to the DVD thing now.

834
00:48:15,120 --> 00:48:20,920
Speaker 3: Well two things I don't know. I have to preface

835
00:48:21,000 --> 00:48:26,480
Speaker 3: this that way, but I have a very a long

836
00:48:27,440 --> 00:48:31,759
Speaker 3: relationship with Netflix DVDs where I started getting them like

837
00:48:31,800 --> 00:48:35,160
Speaker 3: two or three years before anyone else I knew was

838
00:48:35,400 --> 00:48:39,040
Speaker 3: getting them. I think I started flex uh receiving Yeah,

839
00:48:39,520 --> 00:48:43,040
Speaker 3: major brag. I liked it before it was cool, I

840
00:48:43,040 --> 00:48:44,640
Speaker 3: think two thousand and four because I was like, I

841
00:48:44,680 --> 00:48:48,160
Speaker 3: was a freshman in film school that year, and I

842
00:48:48,200 --> 00:48:50,400
Speaker 3: was like, I need to watch movies all the time.

843
00:48:51,120 --> 00:48:53,960
Speaker 3: So I like heard about it, and everyone's like, what's

844
00:48:53,960 --> 00:48:57,120
Speaker 3: this new Netflix thing? And I was getting my three

845
00:48:57,200 --> 00:49:01,280
Speaker 3: DVDs at a time and I was cycle through them,

846
00:49:01,760 --> 00:49:04,320
Speaker 3: really making it worth it. And then I had Netflix

847
00:49:04,360 --> 00:49:09,120
Speaker 3: DVDs long before DVDs were a medium that anyone was using.

848
00:49:09,719 --> 00:49:13,280
Speaker 3: So because you still can get a bunch of stuff

849
00:49:13,280 --> 00:49:17,879
Speaker 3: that you couldn't have access to streaming. And nowadays, if

850
00:49:17,920 --> 00:49:22,040
Speaker 3: something isn't on a platform to stream for free on

851
00:49:22,080 --> 00:49:25,760
Speaker 3: the subscription that you have, you can still rent most

852
00:49:25,840 --> 00:49:30,560
Speaker 3: things for like whatever four bucks on YouTuber, Amazon or

853
00:49:30,600 --> 00:49:34,279
Speaker 3: something like that. But there are enough things such as

854
00:49:34,360 --> 00:49:39,080
Speaker 3: the Super Mario Brothers movie nineteen ninety three, that does

855
00:49:39,120 --> 00:49:42,200
Speaker 3: not exit. It's been scrubbed from the Internet. You cannot

856
00:49:42,520 --> 00:49:45,200
Speaker 3: rent it, by it, stream it. It just does not exist.

857
00:49:46,840 --> 00:49:49,040
Speaker 1: Want to do with a movie that predicted nine to eleven?

858
00:49:51,480 --> 00:49:55,400
Speaker 3: Exactly erase the evidence, but I would hazard a guess

859
00:49:55,440 --> 00:49:59,239
Speaker 3: that that movie is available to like whatever, borrow or

860
00:49:59,280 --> 00:50:03,640
Speaker 3: rent from Netflix DVDs. Same thing with Jamie and I

861
00:50:03,680 --> 00:50:05,640
Speaker 3: and a guest. We're going to do an episode on

862
00:50:06,560 --> 00:50:09,879
Speaker 3: the movie two hundred cigarettes doesn't exist anywhere. I can't

863
00:50:09,880 --> 00:50:12,280
Speaker 3: rent it, can't buy it, can't stream it. You cannot

864
00:50:12,360 --> 00:50:16,719
Speaker 3: do that with Crossroads there and other movies Crossroads, you know,

865
00:50:16,840 --> 00:50:22,360
Speaker 3: the Britney Spears class. Whoa wow, So you know at

866
00:50:22,440 --> 00:50:27,359
Speaker 3: least those three movies and probably why why did it

867
00:50:27,400 --> 00:50:28,560
Speaker 3: get scrubbed?

868
00:50:29,400 --> 00:50:29,799
Speaker 2: That's then.

869
00:50:30,440 --> 00:50:33,880
Speaker 3: But anyway, all this to say, I no longer have

870
00:50:34,000 --> 00:50:38,400
Speaker 3: Netflix DVD's, but I kind of wish I did sometimes

871
00:50:38,400 --> 00:50:41,680
Speaker 3: because there's things that I don't want to, like rent

872
00:50:41,719 --> 00:50:44,520
Speaker 3: for four bucks. Like I had to rent Sausage Party

873
00:50:44,520 --> 00:50:47,600
Speaker 3: because Jamie and I did an upcoming episode on it,

874
00:50:47,760 --> 00:50:49,560
Speaker 3: and I'm like, I don't want anyone to have money

875
00:50:49,719 --> 00:50:52,040
Speaker 3: from this movie. It's the worst movie I've ever seen,

876
00:50:53,480 --> 00:50:55,120
Speaker 3: but I had to pay four dollars from it. I

877
00:50:55,160 --> 00:50:58,879
Speaker 3: would rather just like play, pay like a lump subscription

878
00:50:59,120 --> 00:51:01,920
Speaker 3: fee for something and then not feel like I have

879
00:51:02,040 --> 00:51:03,760
Speaker 3: spent money on Sausage Party.

880
00:51:04,400 --> 00:51:06,120
Speaker 2: That was a weird way to say the best movie

881
00:51:06,160 --> 00:51:06,839
Speaker 2: you've ever seen?

882
00:51:08,080 --> 00:51:12,640
Speaker 1: I miss Sorry. I just opened an old notebook from

883
00:51:12,640 --> 00:51:14,600
Speaker 1: the early two thousands that I just had in my

884
00:51:14,600 --> 00:51:19,040
Speaker 1: closet and I had a Netflix DVD there, So.

885
00:51:20,040 --> 00:51:22,080
Speaker 2: Yeah that they are never getting back.

886
00:51:22,280 --> 00:51:25,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, I did like pay for I remember paying for it.

887
00:51:25,160 --> 00:51:27,840
Speaker 1: I was like, I'm being responsible and you know that

888
00:51:28,080 --> 00:51:31,320
Speaker 1: they're Otherwise they would have been like charging me monthly

889
00:51:31,440 --> 00:51:31,640
Speaker 1: for the.

890
00:51:31,640 --> 00:51:33,759
Speaker 2: Rest of it, very honestly. So yeah, well, at least

891
00:51:33,760 --> 00:51:35,680
Speaker 2: at least we know it's not your fault that that

892
00:51:35,680 --> 00:51:37,960
Speaker 2: that is going out of business. You paid your dues.

893
00:51:39,360 --> 00:51:41,799
Speaker 2: Physical media. I mean this video game I really like

894
00:51:41,800 --> 00:51:44,239
Speaker 2: called Death Stranding, where the entire thing is about we

895
00:51:44,280 --> 00:51:46,520
Speaker 2: live in this post apocalyptic world where now people are

896
00:51:46,560 --> 00:51:50,799
Speaker 2: like desperate for physical media, and this game has like

897
00:51:51,239 --> 00:51:53,799
Speaker 2: quote unquote predicted so many things about like it came

898
00:51:53,840 --> 00:51:56,480
Speaker 2: out before the pandemic and how everybody was stuck inside

899
00:51:56,480 --> 00:51:58,680
Speaker 2: and the only thing that was available to do outside

900
00:51:58,719 --> 00:52:01,400
Speaker 2: was be a delivery person and that felt so true.

901
00:52:01,400 --> 00:52:04,240
Speaker 2: And the fact that they're delivering physical media and now

902
00:52:04,480 --> 00:52:07,960
Speaker 2: we're in a time where physical media is just slowly disintegrating,

903
00:52:07,960 --> 00:52:11,880
Speaker 2: it just feels too I don't know, it feels very sad.

904
00:52:12,000 --> 00:52:14,960
Speaker 2: It feels very apocalyptic, and how we're just like losing

905
00:52:15,000 --> 00:52:17,880
Speaker 2: the things that we have that we could actually physically

906
00:52:17,880 --> 00:52:23,560
Speaker 2: hold on to. And preservationists people with huge catalogs and

907
00:52:23,640 --> 00:52:25,160
Speaker 2: huge things on their walls where it used to be

908
00:52:25,200 --> 00:52:27,520
Speaker 2: like damn, why you got all them DVDs? Those people

909
00:52:27,600 --> 00:52:30,279
Speaker 2: are saying well, who's laughing now, I.

910
00:52:30,280 --> 00:52:33,960
Speaker 3: Still have a binder full of DVDs, much like that

911
00:52:34,000 --> 00:52:35,920
Speaker 3: one guy one time said he had a binder full

912
00:52:35,960 --> 00:52:41,239
Speaker 3: of women. That's why I still have a bunch of

913
00:52:41,280 --> 00:52:44,040
Speaker 3: books on my shelf. Like yeah, I like I like, yeah,

914
00:52:44,040 --> 00:52:44,919
Speaker 3: books made the lead.

915
00:52:45,000 --> 00:52:48,560
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah. Books never got replaced by Kendall because for

916
00:52:49,080 --> 00:52:51,400
Speaker 1: I don't know, probably for a number of good reasons.

917
00:52:51,440 --> 00:52:53,520
Speaker 1: But maybe we should take another look at this, like

918
00:52:53,920 --> 00:52:58,200
Speaker 1: it's it's it really feels like the corporations behind the

919
00:52:58,320 --> 00:53:02,560
Speaker 1: entertainment industry have us exact where they want us. When

920
00:53:03,600 --> 00:53:07,880
Speaker 1: like you know, dis or physical media that you could

921
00:53:08,040 --> 00:53:11,640
Speaker 1: own and consume at home became a thing in the

922
00:53:11,680 --> 00:53:16,200
Speaker 1: early eighties, they freaked the fuck out, Like they were like,

923
00:53:16,840 --> 00:53:20,560
Speaker 1: you know, when VCRs came out, the like studios opposed

924
00:53:20,640 --> 00:53:24,840
Speaker 1: the home video boom, they started like suing. They sued

925
00:53:24,920 --> 00:53:27,560
Speaker 1: Sony to try and make it so they couldn't make

926
00:53:27,719 --> 00:53:32,480
Speaker 1: like the Betamax, which was the original VCR, because they

927
00:53:32,480 --> 00:53:35,400
Speaker 1: were like, this is going to We're just losing too

928
00:53:35,480 --> 00:53:39,600
Speaker 1: much control of like how we display our films and

929
00:53:39,680 --> 00:53:42,800
Speaker 1: how we're able to control them and like hold people

930
00:53:42,840 --> 00:53:46,520
Speaker 1: hostage to be able to watch them and because it

931
00:53:46,640 --> 00:53:50,839
Speaker 1: wasn't modern America. The corporations lost out on that one,

932
00:53:50,920 --> 00:53:53,799
Speaker 1: or I guess they lost to another corporation, so it

933
00:53:53,920 --> 00:53:54,640
Speaker 1: still makes sense.

934
00:53:55,120 --> 00:53:59,160
Speaker 3: Moder Do you know that porn was largely responsible for

935
00:54:00,200 --> 00:54:02,600
Speaker 3: home media becoming so popular?

936
00:54:03,280 --> 00:54:06,680
Speaker 1: Yeah? Yeah. Porn is always at the forefront of everything.

937
00:54:07,520 --> 00:54:10,720
Speaker 1: It's also like built the Internet. It built the home

938
00:54:11,040 --> 00:54:12,240
Speaker 1: video boom.

939
00:54:12,480 --> 00:54:15,399

957
00:55:15,480 --> 00:55:20,560
Speaker 3: through an intersectional feminist lens. Again, recent episode on the

958
00:55:20,840 --> 00:55:24,360
Speaker 3: Mario movie from ninety three, plus many others. We just

959
00:55:24,400 --> 00:55:27,760
Speaker 3: released an episode on the woman King George of the Jungle.

960
00:55:28,440 --> 00:55:36,400
Speaker 3: The range we have is astonishing, the range amazing, And yeah, that's.

961
00:55:35,840 --> 00:55:39,000
Speaker 1: That, And is there a working media that you've been enjoying?

962
00:55:39,680 --> 00:55:42,760
Speaker 3: So I'm gonna plug something that I haven't seen yet,

963
00:55:43,120 --> 00:55:46,799
Speaker 3: which might be dangerous, but I'm very excited to see it,

964
00:55:46,840 --> 00:55:48,799
Speaker 3: and I think it'll be good based on who has

965
00:55:48,840 --> 00:55:51,399
Speaker 3: made it. But there's a movie coming out. I think

966
00:55:51,400 --> 00:55:59,120
Speaker 3: it opens on April twenty eighth called Polite Society. I'm

967
00:55:59,160 --> 00:56:02,320
Speaker 3: really excited. The trailers make it seem like so much fun.

968
00:56:02,880 --> 00:56:07,640
Speaker 3: It's directed by Nita Mansor, who also created a television

969
00:56:07,640 --> 00:56:10,880
Speaker 3: show I really like called We Are Lady Parts. So

970
00:56:11,360 --> 00:56:14,080
Speaker 3: I recommend it's so good.

971
00:56:14,360 --> 00:56:17,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, we talked about it on a streaming corner.

972
00:56:17,560 --> 00:56:20,359
Speaker 3: It's amazing. So she directed this movie that's coming out,

973
00:56:20,360 --> 00:56:25,239
Speaker 3: Polite Society. And so here I am plugging something that

974
00:56:25,320 --> 00:56:27,800
Speaker 3: I haven't seen and I'm not sure will be good,

975
00:56:27,920 --> 00:56:31,280
Speaker 3: but I think it will be. And so I would

976
00:56:31,280 --> 00:56:35,040
Speaker 3: just encourage people to go to the theater. Come come

977
00:56:35,080 --> 00:56:37,480
Speaker 3: to this place. We come to this place from magic.

978
00:56:37,520 --> 00:56:39,799
Speaker 3: We come to this place to laugh, to cry, to care.

979
00:56:40,840 --> 00:56:43,640
Speaker 3: And if you don't have an AMC, you can go

980
00:56:43,680 --> 00:56:46,239
Speaker 3: to another theater and watch Polite Society.

981
00:56:46,560 --> 00:56:50,960
Speaker 1: But do wear some shiny silver pants there? Yes?

982
00:56:51,120 --> 00:56:55,080
Speaker 3: And where all of your ring watches?

983
00:56:56,320 --> 00:56:58,359
Speaker 1: I feel like I could see her rocking some ring

984
00:56:58,440 --> 00:57:03,240
Speaker 1: watches Nicole Kidman. Yeah, that time that she was clapping

985
00:57:03,640 --> 00:57:08,120
Speaker 1: strangely that time happening it was it was because she

986
00:57:08,160 --> 00:57:11,200
Speaker 1: had too many ring watches on and she didn't want

987
00:57:11,200 --> 00:57:12,200
Speaker 1: them clanking together.

988
00:57:12,560 --> 00:57:16,080
Speaker 2: I get that. I'm getting sensitive sensitive mechanics in those rings.

989
00:57:16,200 --> 00:57:21,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, absolutely, Daniel, Yeah, such a pleasure having you. Where

990
00:57:21,120 --> 00:57:23,000
Speaker 1: can people find you? And is there a working media

991
00:57:23,120 --> 00:57:24,400
Speaker 1: you've been enjoying?

992
00:57:24,960 --> 00:57:27,120
Speaker 2: As always, it is a pleasure to be here, happy

993
