14
00:01:13,800 --> 00:01:16,440
Speaker 2: Longtime listener of the show, feels like the first time

15
00:01:16,440 --> 00:01:17,440
Speaker 2: I've ever been in the studio.

16
00:01:17,680 --> 00:01:19,480
Speaker 1: Yeah you yeah. He walks in and he's like, oh,

17
00:01:19,520 --> 00:01:21,520
Speaker 1: a new setup, and I go, No, exact same setup

18
00:01:21,600 --> 00:01:23,720
Speaker 1: as the last time you're here. It will be a

19
00:01:23,760 --> 00:01:25,800
Speaker 1: little different next time you're here, But yes, it is

20
00:01:25,800 --> 00:01:26,560
Speaker 1: the exact same.

21
00:01:26,600 --> 00:01:30,240
Speaker 2: In my defense, I mean the beers were full on

22
00:01:30,280 --> 00:01:32,560
Speaker 2: the desk when I walked in. Yeah, that is not

23
00:01:32,680 --> 00:01:35,400
Speaker 2: how we left the studio last time. Yeah, it's true.

24
00:01:36,600 --> 00:01:38,520
Speaker 1: There's nothing wrong with having a few beverages while you

25
00:01:38,880 --> 00:01:42,600
Speaker 1: record a podcast. In fact, I believe more podcasts maybe

26
00:01:42,600 --> 00:01:46,199
Speaker 1: more enjoyable if you enjoyed a few beverages along the way.

27
00:01:47,160 --> 00:01:49,760
Speaker 2: You hit our topic. I mean love. Yeah, I mean

28
00:01:49,920 --> 00:01:52,160
Speaker 2: to talk about love. Sometimes you need a little that

29
00:01:52,240 --> 00:01:53,560
Speaker 2: honesty juice.

30
00:01:53,280 --> 00:01:55,680
Speaker 1: You know, that's the thing when you're and we've got

31
00:01:55,920 --> 00:01:58,120
Speaker 1: you know, I don't even know. Did you know I've

32
00:01:58,120 --> 00:02:02,720
Speaker 1: got a sign in the studio, Oh, handmade says love

33
00:02:02,760 --> 00:02:04,920
Speaker 1: on it. You didn't even know this. You probably have

34
00:02:05,080 --> 00:02:07,400
Speaker 1: never even noticed that piece of artwork at.

35
00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:09,120
Speaker 2: Well, I saw it. I didn't realize the heart was

36
00:02:09,120 --> 00:02:10,800
Speaker 2: supposed to be the Oh that is the L I

37
00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:16,799
Speaker 2: thought it was just the the lve the Volleyball Association.

38
00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:19,800
Speaker 1: Las Vegas Entertainment. Like, we'll go a kind of bullshit.

39
00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:22,680
Speaker 1: Are you promoting it here? No, it's it's love. Love

40
00:02:22,760 --> 00:02:24,359
Speaker 1: is in the air, Love is on the walls. It

41
00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:27,240
Speaker 1: is Valentine's Week, and that's what we're here to talk about.

42
00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:30,440
Speaker 1: Talk about Valentine's Day. It's funny because it could mean

43
00:02:30,440 --> 00:02:32,080
Speaker 1: a lot of things to a lot of different people.

44
00:02:32,120 --> 00:02:35,120
Speaker 1: And that's kinda I think where we're heading today is

45
00:02:35,160 --> 00:02:38,520
Speaker 1: that this this subject, it's so deep and everything involve

46
00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:43,400
Speaker 1: Valentine's Day. It has various different meanings. I just have

47
00:02:43,520 --> 00:02:45,800
Speaker 1: one thing though, right off the top, I want to

48
00:02:46,360 --> 00:02:48,679
Speaker 1: like put out there because I don't think a lot

49
00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:54,440
Speaker 1: of people know this, but Valentine's Day. I mean, I

50
00:02:54,440 --> 00:02:56,600
Speaker 1: guess it depends on how it's all relative. It's not

51
00:02:56,680 --> 00:03:01,200
Speaker 1: that old really, Yeah, it started in nineteen ten. Did

52
00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:04,240
Speaker 1: you know that? That's not that's honestly, when you think

53
00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:06,400
Speaker 1: of like things that we've just been a part of

54
00:03:06,440 --> 00:03:08,640
Speaker 1: our entire lives, that's not that long ago.

55
00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:10,960
Speaker 2: Well, in all the events, I mean a big event

56
00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:12,919
Speaker 2: when it hits that anniversary, I mean normally you have

57
00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:15,000
Speaker 2: that one hundred years in retrospect. Do you have that

58
00:03:15,080 --> 00:03:20,160
Speaker 2: big thing like where was the twenty ten Valentine's Centennial celebration?

59
00:03:20,360 --> 00:03:26,920
Speaker 1: Yep? It was invented by Joyce Clyde Hall in Kansas City, Missouri.

60
00:03:27,400 --> 00:03:32,720
Speaker 1: In nineteen ten. She owned a company called Hall Brothers. Eventually,

61
00:03:32,760 --> 00:03:35,480
Speaker 1: in nineteen fifty four, she changed that business name to

62
00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:38,280
Speaker 1: something you all are going to know about Hallmark Company.

63
00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:40,360
Speaker 1: Oh wow, yeah, nineteen ten.

64
00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:46,680
Speaker 2: Joyce sounds like an Irish name, Joyce. I mean the

65
00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:50,880
Speaker 2: Irish aren't necessarily some people you think of as like sensual. No. No,

66
00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:53,760
Speaker 2: So you think this was like overcompensating on their part.

67
00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:55,200
Speaker 1: It very well could be.

68
00:03:56,360 --> 00:03:56,960
Speaker 2: That's funny.

69
00:03:57,680 --> 00:04:03,200
Speaker 1: So Valentine's Day Ruary fourteenth, At least this year it's

70
00:04:03,240 --> 00:04:06,160
Speaker 1: on February fourteenth. I don't know, I've known a lot

71
00:04:06,200 --> 00:04:09,240
Speaker 1: of Valentine's Days. It kind of like falls around depending

72
00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:12,120
Speaker 1: on the day. Right, this year it's on the fourteenth.

73
00:04:12,320 --> 00:04:14,360
Speaker 1: It always falls on a Friday, right.

74
00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:16,200
Speaker 2: No, it always falls on the fourteenth.

75
00:04:16,360 --> 00:04:18,599
Speaker 1: Okay, I thought it was a Friday thing.

76
00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:21,840
Speaker 2: No. No, And see this is probably a common thing

77
00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:24,760
Speaker 2: because I mean for anybody who's watched a sitcom in

78
00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:27,200
Speaker 2: their life, I mean, it's tough to keep track of

79
00:04:27,240 --> 00:04:30,360
Speaker 2: the date. Yeah, I mean that's almost like an assumed plot.

80
00:04:30,440 --> 00:04:33,840
Speaker 2: Like you know, these these shows get into that fortieth

81
00:04:33,880 --> 00:04:37,479
Speaker 2: fiftieth episode, you know, they're they're shooting blanks at this point, Like,

82
00:04:37,480 --> 00:04:40,520
Speaker 2: what else can we talk about Valentine's Day? What day

83
00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:43,400
Speaker 2: is it on? I don't know, Friday? No, No, no,

84
00:04:43,440 --> 00:04:44,839
Speaker 2: it's got a date. It's got a date.

85
00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:48,760
Speaker 1: It's on the fourteenth. Well, that's something that I was unaware.

86
00:04:48,760 --> 00:04:51,159
Speaker 1: So we're learning today. We're learning a little bit about

87
00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:53,560
Speaker 1: the very special holiday of Valentine's Day.

88
00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:57,920
Speaker 2: When this show comes out, it's going to be right

89
00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:02,680
Speaker 2: before Valentine's Day. Team, this is your call to action.

90
00:05:04,080 --> 00:05:07,480
Speaker 1: The fourteenth. Yeah, so you know, this is a time

91
00:05:07,520 --> 00:05:12,880
Speaker 1: where a lot of people generally buy flowers, candy. You know,

92
00:05:13,200 --> 00:05:17,000
Speaker 1: myself working in uh, you know, the grocery business for

93
00:05:17,040 --> 00:05:19,680
Speaker 1: a long time, this was a busy time generally the

94
00:05:19,760 --> 00:05:24,320
Speaker 1: day before, generally Valentine's Day, especially sometimes the day after.

95
00:05:24,760 --> 00:05:27,800
Speaker 1: A lot of times it's a lot of work in

96
00:05:27,800 --> 00:05:30,000
Speaker 1: the build up to it, and then it's just chaos,

97
00:05:30,600 --> 00:05:32,840
Speaker 1: a day of to get the flowers out, to get

98
00:05:32,839 --> 00:05:36,159
Speaker 1: the chocolates out, all those last minute fellas. It's such

99
00:05:36,160 --> 00:05:37,480
Speaker 1: a last minute holiday.

100
00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:40,640
Speaker 2: I love that you said, like sometimes the day after,

101
00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:43,680
Speaker 2: ye like you got these like that would probably be

102
00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:47,159
Speaker 2: me the bargain shop. I mean, I'm not paying I'm

103
00:05:47,160 --> 00:05:50,560
Speaker 2: not paying retail for this. You know, Reese's peanut butter

104
00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:54,279
Speaker 2: cup that's a foot wide in the shape of a heart. Yeah,

105
00:05:54,360 --> 00:05:57,080
Speaker 2: I'm I'm throwing this over in the dog food aisle.

106
00:05:57,400 --> 00:06:00,360
Speaker 2: I'm going to you know, pick it up tomorrow and

107
00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:02,560
Speaker 2: get twenty percent off on it.

108
00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:04,480
Speaker 1: It's actually it's funny because it's on a Friday. This year,

109
00:06:04,480 --> 00:06:09,000
Speaker 1: we've covered this deeply. Now there will be people who

110
00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:11,320
Speaker 1: are going to have, you know what their quote unquote

111
00:06:11,360 --> 00:06:14,640
Speaker 1: Valentine's date is on a Saturday on the fifteen, and

112
00:06:14,680 --> 00:06:17,400
Speaker 1: there's gonna be people waiting to do any type of

113
00:06:17,440 --> 00:06:19,880
Speaker 1: shopping for that until the morning or the afternoon of

114
00:06:19,880 --> 00:06:21,960
Speaker 1: the fifteenth to do that very thing, To get the

115
00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:26,159
Speaker 1: discounted candy, to get the discounted flowers, even to save

116
00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:28,360
Speaker 1: a bug for Valentin'sday. It's a real thing, you.

117
00:06:28,320 --> 00:06:32,119
Speaker 2: Know, another important thing to just throw out there. Don't

118
00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:35,760
Speaker 2: hide chocolate in the dog food aisle. That was a

119
00:06:35,800 --> 00:06:38,960
Speaker 2: poor choice. I was just thinking on my feet. Dogs

120
00:06:38,960 --> 00:06:40,360
Speaker 2: and chocolate they don't go together.

121
00:06:40,520 --> 00:06:41,400
Speaker 1: They do not go together.

122
00:06:41,480 --> 00:06:44,359
Speaker 2: Do not hide the chocolate next to the dog food.

123
00:06:44,480 --> 00:06:47,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's quite dangerous for the pups.

124
00:06:47,120 --> 00:06:49,240
Speaker 2: So the public service announcement, that's.

125
00:06:49,160 --> 00:06:51,000
Speaker 1: A seclic service announcement.

126
00:06:51,040 --> 00:06:52,000
Speaker 2: That's the second one.

127
00:06:52,200 --> 00:06:56,200
Speaker 1: Do not tie in chocolate with dog food. That's you

128
00:06:56,240 --> 00:07:02,360
Speaker 1: know what that actually that's going to save lives. I've

129
00:07:02,400 --> 00:07:04,800
Speaker 1: got a few here's the few things I just told you.

130
00:07:05,120 --> 00:07:06,840
Speaker 1: Valentine's Day. To me, it's like it was a lot

131
00:07:06,880 --> 00:07:10,880
Speaker 1: of work for me, you know, in the past. One

132
00:07:10,960 --> 00:07:13,760
Speaker 1: time though, I got to miss and skip the whole thing.

133
00:07:14,120 --> 00:07:16,280
Speaker 1: It's because I got very, very sick. I had a

134
00:07:16,320 --> 00:07:18,720
Speaker 1: severe like strep throat over. I missed like three days

135
00:07:18,720 --> 00:07:21,720
Speaker 1: of work right over Valentine's Day. I had a very

136
00:07:21,800 --> 00:07:26,600
Speaker 1: high fever, super sick. I was seeing shit like it was.

137
00:07:26,640 --> 00:07:27,200
Speaker 1: It was weird.

138
00:07:27,360 --> 00:07:29,840
Speaker 2: So probably too late for the listening audience to do

139
00:07:29,960 --> 00:07:32,840
Speaker 2: that now, Yeah, Like I had to start laying the

140
00:07:32,840 --> 00:07:36,000
Speaker 2: groundwork for that before, you know, three days.

141
00:07:36,400 --> 00:07:38,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, if you were, if you were somebody who was

142
00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:42,400
Speaker 1: wanting to be sick for Valentine's Day, I mean, yeah,

143
00:07:42,440 --> 00:07:45,000
Speaker 1: you would have put yourself in position to get those

144
00:07:45,080 --> 00:07:46,760
Speaker 1: germs five days ago.

145
00:07:47,040 --> 00:07:47,280
Speaker 3: God.

146
00:07:47,480 --> 00:07:50,640
Speaker 2: Well that's and that's where it becomes even tougher. Not

147
00:07:50,840 --> 00:07:53,240
Speaker 2: knowing what day Valentine's Day is. It makes it tough,

148
00:07:53,360 --> 00:07:58,040
Speaker 2: Like I mean, if you're just randomly firing on February, like,

149
00:07:59,360 --> 00:08:02,920
Speaker 2: could you imagine like could you imagine you know, being

150
00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:07,480
Speaker 2: sick like the tenth, eleventh, and twelfth, because then you

151
00:08:07,520 --> 00:08:08,800
Speaker 2: have the recovery.

152
00:08:08,320 --> 00:08:10,240
Speaker 1: Time yep, and then you're back and then you're.

153
00:08:10,120 --> 00:08:11,760
Speaker 2: Back, and I mean the expectation is going to be

154
00:08:11,760 --> 00:08:14,840
Speaker 2: that you're ready to go. You can't milk that two days. Yeah,

00:08:55,480 --> 00:08:55,760
Speaker 2: I was.

170
00:08:55,760 --> 00:08:58,720
Speaker 1: Gone also around Valentine's Day, and a lot of people

171
00:08:58,720 --> 00:09:01,319
Speaker 1: don't think about this. Only the NBA All Star Weekend

172
00:09:01,360 --> 00:09:04,160
Speaker 1: falls around Valentine's Day, and it is happening again this

00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:09,400
Speaker 1: Saturday the next day, and then the game on Sunday

175
00:09:09,400 --> 00:09:09,719
Speaker 1: as well.

176
00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:11,960
Speaker 2: Every time I think of Valentine's Day, I think of

177
00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:13,920
Speaker 2: the NBA all start. You are so right?

178
00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:17,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, so right. And staying on the sports topic, we're

179
00:09:17,880 --> 00:09:20,840
Speaker 1: a few years away from the super Bowl falling on

180
00:09:20,920 --> 00:09:24,120
Speaker 1: Valentine's date. That's going to be a special one because

181
00:09:24,160 --> 00:09:26,559
Speaker 1: what are people going to do. Are they going to

182
00:09:26,640 --> 00:09:29,800
Speaker 1: choose the game or are they going to choose go

183
00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:32,120
Speaker 1: you know, going out on the date, and how are

184
00:09:32,160 --> 00:09:32,439
Speaker 1: they going.

185
00:09:32,440 --> 00:09:33,160
Speaker 2: To spin that?

186
00:09:33,320 --> 00:09:35,319
Speaker 1: Like, what's what's going to be the game plan there?

187
00:09:35,360 --> 00:09:37,319
Speaker 2: I mean the super Bowl from last Sunday probably made

188
00:09:37,320 --> 00:09:39,360
Speaker 2: it more likely to just skip the game, just skip

189
00:09:39,400 --> 00:09:42,559
Speaker 2: the game, allgether? Hey, let's let's skip the game. We'll

190
00:09:42,600 --> 00:09:46,240
Speaker 2: watch a you know, a YouTube compilation of the commercials,

191
00:09:46,640 --> 00:09:47,720
Speaker 2: you know, after the date.

192
00:09:48,120 --> 00:09:52,280
Speaker 1: Hey, what's your what's your thoughts on the marketing tactic

193
00:09:52,360 --> 00:09:56,080
Speaker 1: now of releasing the commercials before the game and then

194
00:09:56,120 --> 00:09:58,200
Speaker 1: the then the same commercial airing during the game.

195
00:09:58,320 --> 00:10:00,520
Speaker 2: No, no, no, I hate it. I hate it. I

196
00:10:00,520 --> 00:10:03,520
Speaker 2: hate and I generally I don't even like the idea

197
00:10:03,720 --> 00:10:06,520
Speaker 2: of when they tease the commercial like oh hey, we're

198
00:10:06,520 --> 00:10:08,360
Speaker 2: gonna build this up for like the last half of

199
00:10:08,360 --> 00:10:12,680
Speaker 2: the football season. No, no, that was half the fun before.

200
00:10:12,679 --> 00:10:15,240
Speaker 2: It was just the shock factor of not knowing what

201
00:10:15,360 --> 00:10:16,400
Speaker 2: direction they were going to go.

202
00:10:16,640 --> 00:10:17,280
Speaker 1: Yeah.

203
00:10:17,360 --> 00:10:20,640
Speaker 2: So I'm not appreciative of these these companies that want

204
00:10:20,679 --> 00:10:22,559
Speaker 2: to kind of you know, get ahead of the competition

205
00:10:22,760 --> 00:10:26,120
Speaker 2: or like start the buzz like early. No, give give

206
00:10:26,160 --> 00:10:29,079
Speaker 2: me the commercial and then we the viewers will tell

207
00:10:29,120 --> 00:10:30,439
Speaker 2: you who won the oscar.

208
00:10:30,679 --> 00:10:32,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm with you there.

209
00:10:32,160 --> 00:10:34,120
Speaker 2: They do give oscars for commercials, right.

210
00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:38,760
Speaker 1: They do not. There's a USA today?

211
00:10:38,800 --> 00:10:41,960
Speaker 2: Are you telling me? Is still It's still around?

212
00:10:42,080 --> 00:10:45,520
Speaker 1: It's still around, and they are it's still around. It's

213
00:10:45,559 --> 00:10:49,600
Speaker 1: not the same. There's not even a lot of USA

214
00:10:49,679 --> 00:10:53,120
Speaker 1: today specific like writers like on staff. It's just they

215
00:10:53,120 --> 00:10:56,800
Speaker 1: get articles and things written from consultants and I just

216
00:10:56,920 --> 00:10:57,720
Speaker 1: around the country.

217
00:10:57,880 --> 00:11:00,640
Speaker 2: You know. My favorite part of the USA work what

218
00:11:00,800 --> 00:11:03,160
Speaker 2: was that they put the little graph on the front

219
00:11:03,280 --> 00:11:03,880
Speaker 2: the front page.

220
00:11:03,880 --> 00:11:05,920
Speaker 1: I always had like a little graph.

221
00:11:06,440 --> 00:11:07,520
Speaker 2: So I was just like, what are they gonna what

222
00:11:07,520 --> 00:11:08,400
Speaker 2: are they gonna do today?

223
00:11:08,600 --> 00:11:11,480
Speaker 1: Right, So Monday morning when the paper came out, there

224
00:11:11,559 --> 00:11:14,920
Speaker 1: was a chart for the for the commercials and it

225
00:11:15,080 --> 00:11:18,280
Speaker 1: said go to the website to see the and then

226
00:11:18,679 --> 00:11:21,520
Speaker 1: on Tuesday they had the rankings.

227
00:11:21,320 --> 00:11:25,960
Speaker 2: It's very hard to translate. Yeah, the video commercial to.

228
00:11:26,160 --> 00:11:29,800
Speaker 1: The right right, you know, it was actually funny. I

229
00:11:29,800 --> 00:11:33,760
Speaker 1: still enjoy the USA today, but it's different. I mean,

230
00:11:33,800 --> 00:11:35,360
Speaker 1: it's just a whole different deal. But yeah, they do

231
00:11:35,440 --> 00:11:37,839
Speaker 1: still do their rankings. They still have people like score

232
00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:41,040
Speaker 1: the commercials or whatnot. Here's the thing that bothered me,

233
00:11:41,120 --> 00:11:43,120
Speaker 1: because you know, they are doing a lot of rolling

234
00:11:43,160 --> 00:11:44,960
Speaker 1: up the commercials to build the buzz and then it

235
00:11:44,960 --> 00:11:48,440
Speaker 1: airs during But there was a specific commercial that was

236
00:11:48,440 --> 00:11:51,480
Speaker 1: for like Tatino's Pizza Roles, the one with Tim Robinson

237
00:11:51,840 --> 00:11:56,240
Speaker 1: and that that full commercial we got weeks before the

238
00:11:56,320 --> 00:11:58,199
Speaker 1: game to promote, you know, for the super Bowl, and

239
00:11:58,240 --> 00:12:00,920
Speaker 1: then during the commercial for the actual apt for the

240
00:12:00,960 --> 00:12:04,720
Speaker 1: Super Bowl, it was a shorter, smaller version of the

241
00:12:04,760 --> 00:12:09,480
Speaker 1: ad itself that that aired. You don't even get the

242
00:12:09,480 --> 00:12:12,800
Speaker 1: full joke. It was still good, but when you know,

243
00:12:12,960 --> 00:12:14,920
Speaker 1: when you've seen the full ad, you're like, oh, that

244
00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:18,320
Speaker 1: joke has a completely different context when you've seen it,

245
00:12:18,360 --> 00:12:20,400
Speaker 1: you know. There, I don't know, I don't like that, like,

246
00:12:20,480 --> 00:12:23,839
Speaker 1: at least give us the full deal. Yeah, I didn't

247
00:12:23,880 --> 00:12:25,680
Speaker 1: like that. They they hyped it up and build the

248
00:12:25,720 --> 00:12:27,720
Speaker 1: excitement and they put this ad out and then it's

249
00:12:27,760 --> 00:12:30,280
Speaker 1: just it's part of it. You know, it's fifteen seconds

250
00:12:30,360 --> 00:12:30,960
Speaker 1: or whatever it was.

251
00:12:31,559 --> 00:12:34,720
Speaker 2: I mean, I hate to call you out on this,

252
00:12:34,720 --> 00:12:36,280
Speaker 2: but you're sound a little heartless. I mean, we found

253
00:12:36,320 --> 00:12:39,040
Speaker 2: out from the commercial that you know, to Tino's pizza

254
00:12:39,120 --> 00:12:41,920
Speaker 2: roles costs about a dollar apiece. Yeah, we did. So

255
00:12:42,080 --> 00:12:45,200
Speaker 2: you're basically saying like they need to spell like twenty

256
00:12:45,240 --> 00:12:47,560
Speaker 2: million more pizza rolls so that you can see the

257
00:12:47,600 --> 00:12:50,480
Speaker 2: full version. Yeah, well, you sit on your couch and

258
00:12:50,559 --> 00:12:51,319
Speaker 2: drink your beer.

259
00:12:52,920 --> 00:12:55,280
Speaker 1: It was a funny commercial that we are getting.

260
00:12:55,600 --> 00:12:57,280
Speaker 2: They are sponsoring us today, right.

261
00:12:57,200 --> 00:13:01,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, Today's Laugh with Me is actually sponsored by that

262
00:13:01,480 --> 00:13:04,960
Speaker 1: very commercial, not the company, not Totino's, but it's being

263
00:13:05,040 --> 00:13:09,840
Speaker 1: sponsored by the marketing group that made the commercial. They're

264
00:13:09,840 --> 00:13:11,400
Speaker 1: sponsoring us to talk about the commercial.

265
00:13:11,440 --> 00:13:14,080
Speaker 2: It's there's levels to this, love the marketing group.

266
00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:17,400
Speaker 1: There's levels of this. It's actually Totinos actually doesn't even

267
00:13:17,480 --> 00:13:21,120
Speaker 1: know we're involved in this, but we are because of

268
00:13:21,160 --> 00:13:23,280
Speaker 1: the marketing group who's hire us to you know, it's

269
00:13:23,400 --> 00:13:26,120
Speaker 1: it's a whole thing. There's levels things that a lot

270
00:13:26,120 --> 00:13:28,440
Speaker 1: of people don't know about So thanks for bringing that up.

271
00:13:28,760 --> 00:13:29,600
Speaker 2: Inside the business.

272
00:13:29,720 --> 00:13:32,440
Speaker 1: This is inside, this is inside baseball going on. But yeah, no,

273
00:13:32,520 --> 00:13:35,960
Speaker 1: that's kind of what Valentine's Day means to me. It

274
00:13:36,040 --> 00:13:40,640
Speaker 1: always meant a lot of busy time and sometimes very

275
00:13:40,679 --> 00:13:46,400
Speaker 1: sick and a lot of basketball. But that's, uh, that's

276
00:13:46,480 --> 00:13:49,280
Speaker 1: kind of where it's always been for me. It's different

277
00:13:49,400 --> 00:13:51,480
Speaker 1: to a lot of different people, you know.

278
00:13:52,080 --> 00:13:56,400
Speaker 2: I mean mine, I'm obviously I'm not married, you know,

279
00:13:56,920 --> 00:13:59,720
Speaker 2: not having that that consistent relationship by all the time

280
00:13:59,800 --> 00:14:02,080
Speaker 2: on Valentine's Day. So a lot of my prep for

281
00:14:02,120 --> 00:14:05,559
Speaker 2: the holiday, I was convincing, you know, my friends that

282
00:14:05,760 --> 00:14:07,440
Speaker 2: it was not on the fourteenth, that it was on

283
00:14:07,480 --> 00:14:09,800
Speaker 2: a different date. That way, i'd have somebody to hang

284
00:14:09,840 --> 00:14:10,080
Speaker 2: out with.

285
00:14:12,480 --> 00:14:14,800
Speaker 1: You'd tell them Valentine's Valentine's Day.

286
00:14:14,880 --> 00:14:17,679
Speaker 2: I mean, apparently it's still bears, Yeah, it still is. Yeah.

287
00:14:17,720 --> 00:14:19,480
Speaker 2: I would have mad confused if I would have started

288
00:14:19,520 --> 00:14:21,000
Speaker 2: the show by saying, ah, Jemmy, you want to hang

289
00:14:21,040 --> 00:14:23,480
Speaker 2: out this Friday? Yeah, you probably would have been like, yeah,

Speaker 2: It's always a Sunday after the super Bowl.

295
00:14:34,520 --> 00:14:36,880
Speaker 1: It's the Sunday after the super Bowl. See, that's the

296
00:14:36,920 --> 00:14:39,680
Speaker 1: type of thing we need. We need more consistency with

297
00:14:39,800 --> 00:14:43,720
Speaker 1: that kind of stuff. You know, people get confused to win.

Speaker 1: people kind of associate with it, I don't know. Cupid, Yeah, yeah,

310
00:15:26,520 --> 00:15:27,520
Speaker 1: he's a big deal.

311
00:15:27,400 --> 00:15:31,200
Speaker 2: Right, I mean kind of the original. I mean he's

312
00:15:31,240 --> 00:15:35,600
Speaker 2: a baby, is he well, or at least he's got

313
00:15:35,600 --> 00:15:37,600
Speaker 2: the baby. Is the pudgy body you could probably say

314
00:15:37,600 --> 00:15:41,360
Speaker 2: he's a prototype of the dad bod craze, is he?

315
00:15:41,920 --> 00:15:43,360
Speaker 1: What do you think his diet's like?

316
00:15:43,920 --> 00:15:45,880
Speaker 2: Well, I mean, obviously a lot of chocolate.

317
00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:50,320
Speaker 1: Not fat shaming at all, I'm just I'm just curious. Yeah,

318
00:15:50,360 --> 00:15:53,760
Speaker 1: a lot of chocolate. What does a guy like Cupid like,

319
00:15:53,800 --> 00:15:56,880
Speaker 1: what's he eat on a daily basis? Chocolate? I could

320
00:15:56,880 --> 00:15:58,920
Speaker 1: see that. That's you know, that's.

321
00:15:58,760 --> 00:16:00,600
Speaker 2: Probably like a stereotypical answer on that.

322
00:16:01,320 --> 00:16:04,000
Speaker 1: And he eats a lot of cookies. I'm sure he

323
00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:06,240
Speaker 1: eats other things, but we know about the cookies.

324
00:16:06,800 --> 00:16:08,960
Speaker 2: I mean, what what do you think came first? The

325
00:16:09,680 --> 00:16:13,520
Speaker 2: Valentine's Day candy or the holiday?

326
00:16:14,080 --> 00:16:20,200
Speaker 1: Mm hmm, Well, based on our research, I would say

327
00:16:22,400 --> 00:16:26,640
Speaker 1: I would say the holiday, because I mean somebody jumped

328
00:16:26,680 --> 00:16:30,800
Speaker 1: in with, well, we need to how can we sell

329
00:16:30,800 --> 00:16:32,560
Speaker 1: some stuff with it. It's kind of like what came

330
00:16:32,600 --> 00:16:35,840
Speaker 1: first President's Day or furniture sales.

331
00:16:36,280 --> 00:16:38,480
Speaker 2: Well, I'm just I'm just thinking. I mean, we asked

332
00:16:38,480 --> 00:16:41,680
Speaker 2: what Cupid's diet was going to be. I mean, could

333
00:16:41,680 --> 00:16:42,840
Speaker 2: he be a chalky heart guy?

334
00:16:43,440 --> 00:16:43,680
Speaker 1: Oh?

335
00:16:43,760 --> 00:16:47,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, I mean what other purposes the chalky

336
00:16:47,840 --> 00:16:48,200
Speaker 2: heart for?

337
00:16:48,520 --> 00:16:53,680
Speaker 1: So here's what you're suggesting is that it's possible that

338
00:16:54,560 --> 00:16:58,040
Speaker 1: in the marketplace there was these heart shaped chocolate boxes

339
00:16:58,160 --> 00:17:03,200
Speaker 1: and heart shaped chocolate bars, and then Valentine's Day was created,

340
00:17:04,119 --> 00:17:07,400
Speaker 1: and then somebody was like, you know what, this might

341
00:17:07,440 --> 00:17:09,040
Speaker 1: make sense if we just combined the two.

342
00:17:09,440 --> 00:17:11,439
Speaker 2: No great marketing.

343
00:17:14,080 --> 00:17:15,520
Speaker 1: I like to think the all of it came first

344
00:17:15,520 --> 00:17:17,920
Speaker 1: and then we built some chocolate around it.

345
00:17:17,920 --> 00:17:20,320
Speaker 2: It's it's interesting, you know that we have Cupid. You know,

346
00:17:20,359 --> 00:17:24,800
Speaker 2: Cupid's a recognizable thing. Where's the Cupid movie? Like, where's

347
00:17:24,800 --> 00:17:25,280
Speaker 2: the Cupid?

348
00:17:25,320 --> 00:17:25,520
Speaker 1: Ip?

349
00:17:25,760 --> 00:17:30,480
Speaker 2: Who owns Cupid to do a movie? Like we've got Frankenstein,

350
00:17:30,560 --> 00:17:32,919
Speaker 2: We've got Dracula, We've got the Mummy, like those are

351
00:17:32,920 --> 00:17:35,240
Speaker 2: all in that kind of group. We've you know, obviously

352
00:17:35,320 --> 00:17:38,399
Speaker 2: Marvel and DC and all their stuff, Like where's the

353
00:17:38,440 --> 00:17:39,360
Speaker 2: Cupid universe?

354
00:17:39,640 --> 00:17:42,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, it makes you think that maybe it's not that

355
00:17:42,880 --> 00:17:47,080
Speaker 1: people don't believe in Cupid, it's just that they downplay

356
00:17:47,440 --> 00:17:51,240
Speaker 1: any impact that this little guy may ever have. You know,

357
00:17:51,320 --> 00:17:53,359
Speaker 1: they're like, all right, it's not that there isn't a Cupid.

358
00:17:53,520 --> 00:17:55,520
Speaker 1: Let's just all agree there's a Cupid out there. There's

359
00:17:55,520 --> 00:17:58,320
Speaker 1: a little jubby ass baby but with a bow, with

360
00:17:58,400 --> 00:18:01,800
Speaker 1: a bow and an arrow, and he's he can fly right,

361
00:18:02,160 --> 00:18:03,199
Speaker 1: and I.

362
00:18:03,200 --> 00:18:05,240
Speaker 2: Think he's got those little wings, like just little wings

363
00:18:05,280 --> 00:18:06,320
Speaker 2: coming out of his back. Yeah.

364
00:18:06,320 --> 00:18:09,439
Speaker 1: So there's probably like some restrictions on how far and

365
00:18:09,480 --> 00:18:11,600
Speaker 1: how fast he can fly, but I think we can

366
00:18:11,640 --> 00:18:13,560
Speaker 1: all assume he flies, we can all agree to that.

367
00:18:14,200 --> 00:18:15,440
Speaker 2: But what his.

368
00:18:15,560 --> 00:18:19,720
Speaker 1: Impact is in the game of love is probably very minimal,

369
00:18:20,040 --> 00:18:23,040
Speaker 1: and that's why he isn't really a main player. I

370
00:18:23,119 --> 00:18:26,800
Speaker 1: did do a Google search, well I didn't. Johnny did

371
00:18:26,840 --> 00:18:32,600
Speaker 1: a Google search of Cupid movies, okay, and just shot

372
00:18:32,680 --> 00:18:36,000
Speaker 1: him over to me, Thanks Johnny. And they're bad.

373
00:18:36,480 --> 00:18:37,600
Speaker 2: Oh, let's all look awesome.

374
00:18:38,640 --> 00:18:42,080
Speaker 1: The first one that popped up, it's called Cupid, and

375
00:18:42,119 --> 00:18:45,240
Speaker 1: then the tagline is it'll be a bloody Valentine this year.

376
00:18:45,280 --> 00:18:47,720
Speaker 1: So it's it's a horror movie. The cover of that

377
00:18:47,760 --> 00:18:50,880
Speaker 1: looks like it looks like it's gol that does kind

378
00:18:50,880 --> 00:18:51,440
Speaker 1: of look like him.

379
00:18:51,480 --> 00:18:52,760
Speaker 2: That is a creepy ass Cupid.

380
00:18:52,920 --> 00:18:55,639
Speaker 1: And then you get a series of movies that do

381
00:18:55,880 --> 00:18:59,600
Speaker 1: look like like Hallmark movies, like they're obviously and it

382
00:18:59,640 --> 00:19:03,040
Speaker 1: makes a lot of sense to have the one horror

383
00:19:03,119 --> 00:19:05,200
Speaker 1: movie and then a whole bunch of rom coms. You've

384
00:19:05,200 --> 00:19:09,720
Speaker 1: got your so Cupid, you've got playing Cupid and there's

385
00:19:09,720 --> 00:19:11,560
Speaker 1: a little child in there with the with the man

386
00:19:11,560 --> 00:19:14,479
Speaker 1: and the woman, So the child probably I'm just guessing

387
00:19:14,840 --> 00:19:18,080
Speaker 1: that the child plays Cupid and like brings the relationship together.

388
00:19:18,320 --> 00:19:23,240
Speaker 1: There's one called Cupid's Arrow. There's one called Cube e Cupid,

389
00:19:23,560 --> 00:19:26,000
Speaker 1: and there's two guys laying on each other. I'm going

390
00:19:26,040 --> 00:19:28,480
Speaker 1: to guess that has something to do with like online dating.

391
00:19:29,200 --> 00:19:31,200
Speaker 2: That I had to look twice at that one because

392
00:19:31,200 --> 00:19:33,359
Speaker 2: I was like, geez, that's that dude's already got his

393
00:19:33,440 --> 00:19:33,960
Speaker 2: pants off.

394
00:19:34,000 --> 00:19:39,240
Speaker 1: But yeah, Christmas Cupid. So there's there's the mashup we've

395
00:19:39,240 --> 00:19:42,680
Speaker 1: been waiting for. Gabe the Cupid Dog.

396
00:19:43,480 --> 00:19:43,680
Speaker 2: Wow.

397
00:19:44,040 --> 00:19:46,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, because you have to have a pet like related type.

398
00:19:46,840 --> 00:19:52,560
Speaker 1: Christmas Cupid zero. There's a cartoon. It's called Cupid. There's

399
00:19:52,600 --> 00:19:55,080
Speaker 1: a little cartoon baby kind of looks like the Boss

400
00:19:55,119 --> 00:19:57,560
Speaker 1: Baby and it says love with an attitude. There's also

401
00:19:57,600 --> 00:20:01,080
Speaker 1: a Cupid two. So the Cupid Digital was so good

402
00:20:01,720 --> 00:20:02,720
Speaker 1: we needed the Cupid two.

403
00:20:02,880 --> 00:20:05,600
Speaker 2: So you know, all right, I'm we're looking at these movies.

404
00:20:05,640 --> 00:20:08,520
Speaker 2: I think there's two things that are obviously missing. We

405
00:20:08,640 --> 00:20:12,160
Speaker 2: know that you know, Cupid's got a bow and arrow, yep,

406
00:20:12,480 --> 00:20:15,000
Speaker 2: And obviously this angle hasn't been tried yet, but why

407
00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:17,840
Speaker 2: not make him like a badass like Archer. You know,

408
00:20:17,880 --> 00:20:20,040
Speaker 2: maybe he's like a combination of like Lego Loos and

409
00:20:20,160 --> 00:20:23,760
Speaker 2: like Hawkeye and he's like a a like an assassin.

410
00:20:24,640 --> 00:20:31,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's an assassin, and he's you know, maybe somebody,

411
00:20:31,560 --> 00:20:35,280
Speaker 3: maybe somebody that he was going to ask to be his.

412
00:20:35,359 --> 00:20:37,440
Speaker 1: Valentine was kidnapped.

413
00:20:37,480 --> 00:20:38,840
Speaker 2: Oh geez, and.

414
00:20:38,720 --> 00:20:41,800
Speaker 1: Now he's got to go on the hunt to track

415
00:20:41,880 --> 00:20:47,239
Speaker 1: down who kidnapped her so that he can no or

416
00:20:48,640 --> 00:20:50,880
Speaker 1: this is just Cupid. This is Cupid's job. What he

417
00:20:50,920 --> 00:20:56,600
Speaker 1: does is when girls are are kidnapped, then he goes,

418
00:20:56,800 --> 00:20:59,239
Speaker 1: especially around Valentine's Day, that he has to go and

419
00:20:59,280 --> 00:21:02,639
Speaker 1: track him down so that there Valentine has their match.

420
00:21:03,359 --> 00:21:05,520
Speaker 1: Like it's a whole it's all because they get heats hired,

421
00:21:05,800 --> 00:21:06,639
Speaker 1: Cuban gets hired.

422
00:21:07,160 --> 00:21:11,000
Speaker 2: What if there's like.

423
00:21:09,560 --> 00:21:10,960
Speaker 1: Like so dull?

424
00:21:11,520 --> 00:21:16,840
Speaker 2: Does does Cupid have a crew? He's like, oh, like,

425
00:21:17,160 --> 00:21:19,360
Speaker 2: you know, are there other Like well, who is Cupid's

426
00:21:19,520 --> 00:21:21,840
Speaker 2: associated with? Like is he like a Greek? Like is

427
00:21:21,840 --> 00:21:23,359
Speaker 2: he hanging out with Zeus or something?

428
00:21:23,520 --> 00:21:28,119
Speaker 1: Cupid into Zeus? Well, just you know, is he like

429
00:21:28,160 --> 00:21:29,520
Speaker 1: the god of lightning or something?

430
00:21:29,680 --> 00:21:31,359
Speaker 2: Well, yeah, I mean, but he's Greek.

431
00:21:31,960 --> 00:21:36,600
Speaker 1: He's Greek, You're right, which I think I get what

432
00:21:36,640 --> 00:21:37,159
Speaker 1: you're saying.

433
00:21:37,600 --> 00:21:40,480
Speaker 2: Or maybe it's is it possible, maybe Cupid's got like

434
00:21:40,560 --> 00:21:45,359
Speaker 2: a Reverso brother m that shoots people with arrows that

435
00:21:45,400 --> 00:21:48,639
Speaker 2: makes them fall out of love. Oh yeah, and so

436
00:21:48,760 --> 00:21:53,240
Speaker 2: Cupid's got to fight him. Yeah, but also like correct

437
00:21:53,280 --> 00:21:56,600
Speaker 2: the damage that's being done. Like wow, so you can

438
00:21:56,640 --> 00:22:00,240
Speaker 2: almost have like, hey, you got this Cupid versus you know,

439
00:22:00,680 --> 00:22:04,160
Speaker 2: revers So Cupid. And then you've also got a traditional

440
00:22:04,240 --> 00:22:07,520
Speaker 2: rom com going on in the background, because you like

441
00:22:07,600 --> 00:22:09,680
Speaker 2: rom coms. I mean, it's a it's a standard staple

442
00:22:09,800 --> 00:22:14,880
Speaker 2: of like meet cute. There's some sort of misunderstanding. They

443
00:22:14,920 --> 00:22:18,000
Speaker 2: both dig themselves way too deep on the misunderstanding. Yeah,

444
00:22:18,080 --> 00:22:20,000
Speaker 2: then they end up getting it together and they kiss

445
00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:22,080
Speaker 2: at the end. That's that's the movie. I think. You know,

446
00:22:22,240 --> 00:22:25,800
Speaker 2: the laughs aren't even required, The comedy isn't even required.

447
00:22:25,840 --> 00:22:28,120
Speaker 2: That is the rom com formula.

448
00:22:28,440 --> 00:22:31,480
Speaker 1: Honestly, there's not really much comedy from the main characters

449
00:22:31,560 --> 00:22:34,840
Speaker 1: within a rom com. It's generally from a side character

450
00:22:35,359 --> 00:22:38,520
Speaker 1: that brings the comedy to the table, generally a friend

451
00:22:39,040 --> 00:22:41,600
Speaker 1: of the people, usually the guy and the girl both

452
00:22:41,640 --> 00:22:44,560
Speaker 1: have a friend. Those two people are funny, yeah, and

453
00:22:44,560 --> 00:22:47,040
Speaker 1: they're the confidants and they kind of keep the laughs

454
00:22:47,080 --> 00:22:49,640
Speaker 1: coming and they keep their head right, you know, they're

455
00:22:49,680 --> 00:22:51,160
Speaker 1: just kind of like the well.

456
00:22:51,040 --> 00:22:52,920
Speaker 2: They're always the one that's just like, oh you can't

457
00:22:53,000 --> 00:22:54,840
Speaker 2: you know, you can't take that at face value. I mean,

458
00:22:54,840 --> 00:22:57,240
Speaker 2: this is just a misunderstanding. The main character's got to

459
00:22:57,280 --> 00:23:00,359
Speaker 2: be like, who are you get away from me? And

460
00:23:00,400 --> 00:23:02,720
Speaker 2: it's because they got shot by reverso Cupid?

461
00:23:02,920 --> 00:23:08,240
Speaker 1: What if Cupid? We have a movie rom com Cupid

462
00:23:09,119 --> 00:23:14,439
Speaker 1: shoots the wrong person, then tries to correct it, shoots

463
00:23:14,480 --> 00:23:19,879
Speaker 1: a completely different person, and then the two main characters

464
00:23:20,119 --> 00:23:25,160
Speaker 1: become the side friend characters, and then the side characters

465
00:23:25,160 --> 00:23:28,000
Speaker 1: become the main characters because they got shot by the arrows.

466
00:23:28,920 --> 00:23:33,040
Speaker 1: And then the whole movie is about how those two

467
00:23:33,280 --> 00:23:36,720
Speaker 1: although shot with the arrows, are falling in love but

468
00:23:36,760 --> 00:23:40,720
Speaker 1: they're not compatible, but the two side friends are, and

469
00:23:40,880 --> 00:23:44,080
Speaker 1: the whole movie's about making the two side friends actually

470
00:23:44,119 --> 00:23:47,120
Speaker 1: fall for each other despite not getting shot with Cupid's

471
00:23:47,160 --> 00:23:48,080
Speaker 1: arrow What do you think?

472
00:23:48,359 --> 00:23:51,600
Speaker 2: Well, and just think about the lessons that Cupid could learn.

473
00:23:52,760 --> 00:23:54,840
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, Like there's got to be a moral in

474
00:23:54,880 --> 00:23:58,200
Speaker 2: there for Cupid, like, hey, even when you screw up,

475
00:23:58,400 --> 00:24:00,439
Speaker 2: you know, they could be put right.

476
00:24:00,520 --> 00:24:02,480
Speaker 1: They can put it. Yeah, see you just you just

477
00:24:02,520 --> 00:24:04,480
Speaker 1: said the whole trailer like that's the that's on the

478
00:24:04,520 --> 00:24:06,720
Speaker 1: movie poster. What you just said's on the movie poster.

479
00:24:07,119 --> 00:24:10,680
Speaker 1: And Cupid there's like little side because Cupid's not really

480
00:24:10,800 --> 00:24:13,400
Speaker 1: actually in any of the scenes with the main characters,

481
00:24:13,440 --> 00:24:15,679
Speaker 1: but they keep cutting the Cupid trying to figure out

482
00:24:15,720 --> 00:24:17,600
Speaker 1: what's going on because he screwed up big time. Yeah,

483
00:24:17,640 --> 00:24:19,320
Speaker 1: like he's got his own people, he's got to answer

484
00:24:19,320 --> 00:24:19,520
Speaker 1: to you.

485
00:24:19,400 --> 00:24:22,040
Speaker 2: So you're thinking, you're thinking Bateman for Cupid, right, man

486
00:24:22,080 --> 00:24:22,880
Speaker 2: would be perfect?

487
00:24:23,040 --> 00:24:26,920

00:31:35,680 --> 00:31:40,160
Speaker 1: How is this possible? And uh, like who who found

618
00:31:40,200 --> 00:31:42,760
Speaker 1: out about this? Like just the research and the like

619
00:31:42,800 --> 00:31:46,600
Speaker 1: the wanting to know of about the Kevin Bacon thing.

620
00:31:46,800 --> 00:31:47,160
Speaker 2: It was.

621
00:31:47,280 --> 00:31:49,440
Speaker 1: It was wild, but it's so true. I mean, you

622
00:31:49,440 --> 00:31:53,280
Speaker 1: can literally find anybody you could. We traced me back

623
00:31:53,320 --> 00:31:56,600
Speaker 1: to Kevin Bacon within like four steps, Like it was

624
00:31:57,000 --> 00:31:58,160
Speaker 1: insanely easy to do.

625
00:31:58,760 --> 00:32:01,600
Speaker 2: Uh yeah, that's what I don't remember exactly, but I

626
00:32:01,640 --> 00:32:03,760
Speaker 2: remember there's a couple of those different touch points where

627
00:32:03,760 --> 00:32:06,000
Speaker 2: it was just like there were so many people or

628
00:32:06,080 --> 00:32:08,240
Speaker 2: so many things that intersected with him at this point

629
00:32:08,680 --> 00:32:10,480
Speaker 2: that it was just a matter of how do you get.

630
00:32:10,440 --> 00:32:13,080
Speaker 1: How do you get there? Yeah, but it actually ended

631
00:32:13,160 --> 00:32:16,920
Speaker 1: up being fairly easy to get to pretty much anybody. Yeah,

632
00:32:16,960 --> 00:32:17,480
Speaker 1: it's wild.

633
00:32:18,120 --> 00:32:20,200
Speaker 2: What kind of songs about love do you like?

634
00:32:20,440 --> 00:32:24,320
Speaker 1: I'm a big Lately love story Taylor's version. Obviously, I'm

635
00:32:24,360 --> 00:32:28,120
Speaker 1: supporting the new version and not the original because love

636
00:32:28,200 --> 00:32:28,880
Speaker 1: that we know why?

637
00:32:28,960 --> 00:32:29,160
Speaker 2: Right?

638
00:32:30,240 --> 00:32:35,480
Speaker 1: That's obviously to swift love Shack B fifty two's classic.

639
00:32:36,200 --> 00:32:37,880
Speaker 1: Did you know that B fifty two is performed on

640
00:32:38,040 --> 00:32:38,960
Speaker 1: Saturday Night Live?

641
00:32:40,640 --> 00:32:41,840
Speaker 2: I hope they didn't play that song.

642
00:32:42,000 --> 00:32:45,000
Speaker 1: He did play that song. But what's wrong with love Shack?

643
00:32:46,160 --> 00:32:48,360
Speaker 1: It's like the Monster mash It's like you have to

644
00:32:48,400 --> 00:32:51,680
Speaker 1: listen to Monster Masher on Halloween. You gotta listen to

645
00:32:51,720 --> 00:32:52,200
Speaker 1: love Shack.

646
00:32:52,320 --> 00:32:54,520
Speaker 2: This is this is very uncomfortable because you know, I believe,

647
00:32:54,560 --> 00:32:58,480
Speaker 2: I mean, love what you want to love. But love

648
00:32:58,520 --> 00:32:59,720
Speaker 2: Shack is not a good.

649
00:32:59,640 --> 00:33:06,040
Speaker 1: Love like love Shocks of classic California Love Tupac, Doctor Dre,

650
00:33:07,520 --> 00:33:09,240
Speaker 1: How do you feel about California Love?

651
00:33:09,480 --> 00:33:14,480
Speaker 2: I mean I could probably wrap it right now. I've

652
00:33:14,520 --> 00:33:17,680
Speaker 2: heard that song many many times in my life.

653
00:33:17,760 --> 00:33:22,640
Speaker 1: Absolute classic. You know, we were talking about like things

654
00:33:22,720 --> 00:33:25,479
Speaker 1: that you know, we're tied in people now. It's like

655
00:33:25,480 --> 00:33:30,520
Speaker 1: like I briefly brought up President's Day and Uh, like

656
00:33:31,040 --> 00:33:34,520
Speaker 1: mattress sales. Like, there's just things you have to do

657
00:33:34,640 --> 00:33:36,680
Speaker 1: for certain holidays, right, that seems to me one of them.

658
00:33:36,720 --> 00:33:38,640
Speaker 1: If you run a mattress or a furniture store, you're

659
00:33:38,680 --> 00:33:40,080
Speaker 1: running a sale on President's Day.

660
00:33:40,520 --> 00:33:40,640
Speaker 2: Uh.

661
00:33:41,560 --> 00:33:44,720
Speaker 1: I don't understand why, but everybody does it. Well at

662
00:33:44,800 --> 00:33:47,120
Speaker 1: Valentine's Day, you gotta have heart shaped things.

663
00:33:47,320 --> 00:33:47,440
Speaker 2: Now.

664
00:33:47,640 --> 00:33:51,640
Speaker 1: Chick fil A right now has heart shaped biscuits.

665
00:33:52,160 --> 00:33:57,560
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, so that just means the chickens just hanging

666
00:33:57,560 --> 00:33:58,400
Speaker 2: out on one side.

667
00:33:59,080 --> 00:34:01,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, well yeah, so the chicken. Yeah, but do you

668
00:34:01,520 --> 00:34:04,480
Speaker 1: not like that? Do you like the equal biscuit to chicken? Oh?

669
00:34:04,560 --> 00:34:06,080
Speaker 2: Yea the right ratio.

670
00:34:06,480 --> 00:34:08,440
Speaker 1: I don't mind it. It's kind of like eating a tenderloin,

671
00:34:08,480 --> 00:34:11,000
Speaker 1: like you want it just hanging off that bitch.

672
00:34:12,040 --> 00:34:14,440
Speaker 2: What are you a spicy or a regular?

673
00:34:14,600 --> 00:34:18,080
Speaker 1: I can do spicy. Yeah. Actually, I have become a

674
00:34:18,120 --> 00:34:22,520
Speaker 1: fan of the flavor of spicy. I have become somebody

675
00:34:22,520 --> 00:34:27,440
Speaker 1: who absolutely dreads the next morning after a spicy. But

676
00:34:27,520 --> 00:34:31,240
Speaker 1: I do very much enjoy the flavor of a spicy.

677
00:34:31,400 --> 00:34:32,959
Speaker 2: I mean, it's worth it. It's worth it.

678
00:34:33,080 --> 00:34:36,040
Speaker 1: I like to think it is. When I'm eating it.

679
00:34:36,160 --> 00:34:37,920
Speaker 1: I love it, and I'm like, this is worth it,

680
00:34:37,960 --> 00:34:40,239
Speaker 1: This is gonna be okay the next day. Sometimes even

681
00:34:40,280 --> 00:34:44,239
Speaker 1: that very night, I do not wish I would have

682
00:34:44,280 --> 00:34:46,880
Speaker 1: made the choice to eat it.

683
00:34:47,239 --> 00:34:49,000
Speaker 2: And then you know you're getting older, you give it

684
00:34:49,000 --> 00:34:51,000
Speaker 2: a give it about thirty six hours and you're just like,

685
00:34:51,719 --> 00:34:52,920
Speaker 2: go for a spicy.

686
00:34:54,239 --> 00:34:56,560
Speaker 1: Yeah why not? No? I do, I do enjoy a spicy.

687
00:34:56,560 --> 00:34:58,239
Speaker 1: How about you? Do you go with the regular? You're

688
00:34:58,239 --> 00:34:58,759
Speaker 1: going with the.

689
00:34:58,800 --> 00:35:01,279
Speaker 2: Hot, spicy, spicy every single time. That's my favorite thing

690
00:35:01,280 --> 00:35:03,720
Speaker 2: about Chick fil a Breakfast. By the way, another sponsor

691
00:35:03,760 --> 00:35:04,040
Speaker 2: of the.

692
00:35:03,960 --> 00:35:09,120
Speaker 1: Pod, Yeah, Chick fil A. Uh is a a restaurant

694
00:35:12,040 --> 00:35:12,239
Speaker 2: Yes?

695
00:35:12,440 --> 00:35:15,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, they're a fast food chicken place that is sponsoring

696
00:35:15,520 --> 00:35:19,880
Speaker 1: the pod specifically on Sunday. So if you're listening to

697
00:35:20,040 --> 00:35:23,759
Speaker 1: the episode on a Sunday, your sponsor is Chick fil A.

698
00:35:24,000 --> 00:35:26,400
Speaker 2: I mean, it's fast food, but sometimes it takes a

699
00:35:26,400 --> 00:35:29,520
Speaker 2: while to get to the the ordering window or to

700
00:35:29,600 --> 00:35:30,040
Speaker 2: the counter.

701
00:35:30,520 --> 00:35:32,960
Speaker 1: No, they're super fast. You think it takes a.

702
00:35:32,880 --> 00:35:35,759
Speaker 2: While, I guess maybe maybe I'm thinking more towards like

703
00:35:35,800 --> 00:35:37,520
Speaker 2: the COVID stuff, when you you'd have the like the

704
00:35:37,640 --> 00:35:39,640
Speaker 2: triple loop around the store type of deal.

705
00:35:39,719 --> 00:35:42,600
Speaker 1: Oh they still do that, but they're ability to have

706
00:35:42,760 --> 00:35:46,880
Speaker 1: multiple people working in they're very organized. Those they're and

707
00:35:46,920 --> 00:35:50,239
Speaker 1: they've like it's kinda I hate to say they're like

708
00:35:50,239 --> 00:35:56,120
Speaker 1: a cult because knowing you know, they're things that their

709
00:35:56,200 --> 00:35:58,719
Speaker 1: leaders believe in, but it's like they're kind of cultish

710
00:35:59,080 --> 00:36:04,440
Speaker 1: in their training. They are hardcore in the regimen from

711
00:36:04,600 --> 00:36:06,600
Speaker 1: the beginning to end of their service, and it makes

712
00:36:06,640 --> 00:36:10,279
Speaker 1: them very very good. But it's nuts that they can

713
00:36:10,320 --> 00:36:13,840
Speaker 1: be that good and dedicated to the crafty's.

714
00:36:14,239 --> 00:36:17,560
Speaker 2: It's impressive everything from you know posture to just you

715
00:36:17,600 --> 00:36:21,440
Speaker 2: know courtesy. Yeah, like that that stuff.

716
00:36:21,520 --> 00:36:24,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, they're one hundred and it's like, okay, you can

717
00:36:24,120 --> 00:36:27,319
Speaker 1: train you know, the best of the best. They're like

718
00:36:27,440 --> 00:36:32,799
Speaker 1: a is it Hilton. There's a hotel that their level

719
00:36:32,840 --> 00:36:38,720
Speaker 1: of service is like barn On above anything anybody anywhere else.

720
00:36:38,920 --> 00:36:41,200
Speaker 1: I dive Portly talks about it. He was just like this,

721
00:36:41,200 --> 00:36:44,839
Speaker 1: this this place is like the peak level, high end

722
00:36:44,880 --> 00:36:48,360
Speaker 1: service of hotels. But it's like then you get like

723
00:36:49,680 --> 00:36:52,960
Speaker 1: another hotel chain that has like a training program as well.

724
00:36:53,480 --> 00:36:56,120
Speaker 1: They also say you're gonna have elite service, but you know,

725
00:36:56,200 --> 00:36:59,080
Speaker 1: it's not like you know, they're kinda kind of lazy

726
00:36:59,120 --> 00:37:01,440
Speaker 1: with it. I mean you see it everywhere businesses. You

727
00:37:01,480 --> 00:37:04,440
Speaker 1: go to hatch your fla. Whatever they're doing, they're doing

728
00:37:04,440 --> 00:37:04,839
Speaker 1: it right.

729
00:37:04,960 --> 00:37:06,960
Speaker 2: And it's kind of funny because there's another chicken place

730
00:37:07,600 --> 00:37:11,240
Speaker 2: based out of Louisiana, and I've just come to realize

731
00:37:11,280 --> 00:37:15,239
Speaker 2: that I will never get good service there Popeyes. Yes, yeah,

732
00:37:15,400 --> 00:37:18,080
Speaker 2: I was just gonna sayt which one I've got? Like

733
00:37:18,120 --> 00:37:20,600
Speaker 2: the food's great, Yeah, the food is really really good,

734
00:37:20,640 --> 00:37:23,560
Speaker 2: but I just know that they're going to have like

735
00:37:24,080 --> 00:37:25,960
Speaker 2: a tenth of the people in there and it's going

736
00:37:26,000 --> 00:37:28,520
Speaker 2: to take me about three times longer to get my food.

737
00:37:28,680 --> 00:37:31,120
Speaker 1: But you know, you just got to live with it, apparently,

738
00:37:31,200 --> 00:37:33,200
Speaker 1: if you got to have the blood oath that those

739
00:37:33,239 --> 00:37:36,279
Speaker 1: folks that have to get that from them.

740
00:37:41,800 --> 00:37:45,960
Speaker 2: This poem is called Conqueror's Heart. It's written from the

741
00:37:46,000 --> 00:37:52,520
Speaker 2: perspective of Napoleon Bonaparte. I'm tall, the tallest Frenchman, proud,

742
00:37:53,040 --> 00:37:57,800
Speaker 2: but in your love I stand unbowed like Neapolitan ice cream,

743
00:37:57,800 --> 00:38:01,600
Speaker 2: bold and sweet. Your love lifts me off my feet

744
00:38:02,320 --> 00:38:05,960
Speaker 2: like water slides, wild and free. Together we conquer just

745
00:38:06,080 --> 00:38:09,800
Speaker 2: you and me. Ridley Scott's a hack, a fool at best.

746
00:38:10,280 --> 00:38:13,919
Speaker 2: His vision of me just a failed test. And no,

747
00:38:14,280 --> 00:38:18,759
Speaker 2: I'm no Napoleon Dynamite. I'm the true conqueror in history's light.

748
00:38:19,239 --> 00:38:22,320
Speaker 2: Your love is my victory, pure and true, a crown

749
00:38:22,360 --> 00:38:29,400
Speaker 2: I wear all for you, Oh.

750
00:38:29,360 --> 00:38:34,839
Speaker 1: Man, Valentine's Day. It's all about love. Things that you love, God,

751
00:38:34,920 --> 00:38:37,880
Speaker 1: things you love, just in genuine life.

752
00:38:38,040 --> 00:38:40,719
Speaker 2: Why are we you hit me with a lot of

753
00:38:40,760 --> 00:38:41,279
Speaker 2: questions here?

754
00:38:41,320 --> 00:38:42,759
Speaker 1: Oh all right, I'll tell you. I'll tell you something

755
00:38:42,760 --> 00:38:48,839
Speaker 1: that I love. I'll start with I absolutely love when

756
00:38:49,400 --> 00:38:52,239
Speaker 1: I make eye contact with somebody and I say hi

757
00:38:52,360 --> 00:38:57,160
Speaker 1: to them and even flash a smile, and they dart

758
00:38:57,200 --> 00:38:59,960
Speaker 1: their eyes away, walk directly past me and don't even

759
00:39:00,080 --> 00:39:00,840
Speaker 1: say freaking.

760
00:39:00,640 --> 00:39:02,560
Speaker 2: Word that that happens to you.

761
00:39:02,560 --> 00:39:05,960
Speaker 1: A lot fucking love that, oh, very often.

762
00:39:06,680 --> 00:39:08,399
Speaker 2: Like when you're in the store type of thing.

763
00:39:08,680 --> 00:39:11,359
Speaker 1: When I'm at work, when I'm in the store, when

764
00:39:11,400 --> 00:39:15,240
Speaker 1: I'm just out in public, when I'm walking around my house.

765
00:39:15,440 --> 00:39:19,319
Speaker 1: There's just there's places everywhere I go it's like I

766
00:39:19,360 --> 00:39:23,680
Speaker 1: can't be seen and they just eye contact. We have.

767
00:39:24,480 --> 00:39:30,279
Speaker 1: Eye contact is a very like intentional, like piece of

768
00:39:31,560 --> 00:39:33,719
Speaker 1: intimacy almost you know, It's it's like it's it's a

769
00:39:33,760 --> 00:39:36,319
Speaker 1: strong connection. If I look you in the eye and

770
00:39:36,320 --> 00:39:41,319
Speaker 1: I say hi, and you dart away and then have

771
00:39:41,400 --> 00:39:44,040
Speaker 1: the nerve to walk right past me still like almost

772
00:39:44,080 --> 00:39:48,279
Speaker 1: shoulder you know, brushing shoulders, Like at least go the

773
00:39:48,320 --> 00:39:49,800
Speaker 1: other way.

774
00:39:50,680 --> 00:39:51,680
Speaker 2: Around. Why not?

775
00:39:52,320 --> 00:39:56,799
Speaker 1: I'd almost rather I'd rather them go all the way

776
00:39:56,840 --> 00:40:00,640
Speaker 1: in and just be like I refuse, I refuse acknowledge

777
00:40:00,640 --> 00:40:03,840
Speaker 1: you even around you. Instead they walk why buy me,

778
00:40:05,480 --> 00:40:08,359
Speaker 1: that's just go all in if you're gonna ignore me.

779
00:40:08,640 --> 00:40:12,280
Speaker 2: That's many decades ago, I thought that the word howdy

780
00:40:12,880 --> 00:40:16,800
Speaker 2: was funny, so instead of saying hi, I just started

781
00:40:16,800 --> 00:40:20,319
Speaker 2: saying howdy. I don't have any you know, I don't

782
00:40:20,360 --> 00:40:21,880
Speaker 2: own a pair of cowboy boots, I don't have a

783
00:40:21,880 --> 00:40:24,640
Speaker 2: cowboy hat, I don't like country music. But to this

784
00:40:24,800 --> 00:40:27,879
Speaker 2: day I say howdy about eighty percent of the time

785
00:40:27,880 --> 00:40:30,680
Speaker 2: when I say hi to people. So I guess I

786
00:40:30,680 --> 00:40:34,080
Speaker 2: always just took that iad version and the running away

787
00:40:34,160 --> 00:40:36,960
Speaker 2: to just be like, oh well, because you said yeah,

788
00:40:36,960 --> 00:40:41,000
Speaker 2: they're like overwhelmed, like they don't know how to react

789
00:40:41,040 --> 00:40:41,239
Speaker 2: to that.

790
00:40:42,520 --> 00:40:46,040
Speaker 1: I believe you should continue to say howdy, but now

791
00:40:46,120 --> 00:40:48,239
Speaker 1: start dressing like Woody.

792
00:40:47,880 --> 00:40:50,560
Speaker 2: From Toy Story. I thought you were maybe gonna say

793
00:40:50,640 --> 00:40:54,840
Speaker 2: add the howdie partner at let's start some conjunctions on

794
00:40:54,880 --> 00:40:55,360

00:41:45,719 --> 00:41:52,600
Speaker 1: position of like completely throwing off anybody not American in

812
00:41:52,680 --> 00:41:55,520
Speaker 1: my entire life, you know, just by simply saying hi

00:42:01,960 --> 00:42:05,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, they're just the casual friendliness to strangers is not

817
00:42:05,520 --> 00:42:07,319
Speaker 2: a thing in most countries. MM.

818
00:42:09,560 --> 00:42:11,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, you're making me rethink a lot, like maybe I

819
00:42:11,600 --> 00:42:12,879
Speaker 1: just need to back off a little bit.

820
00:42:13,320 --> 00:42:16,480
Speaker 2: That's ah. It makes me remember a story that I

821
00:42:16,719 --> 00:42:19,520
Speaker 2: had heard from somebody that was a I think they

822
00:42:19,520 --> 00:42:23,160
Speaker 2: were a professor over there for like a semester, and

823
00:42:23,800 --> 00:42:26,000
Speaker 2: they had gone over to a colleague's house for dinner.

824
00:42:26,000 --> 00:42:27,759
Speaker 2: They had done the dinner, and when they were leaving,

825
00:42:27,800 --> 00:42:30,000
Speaker 2: you know it's just like, Okay, well this was great,

826
00:42:30,040 --> 00:42:31,760
Speaker 2: you don't have to do it. Do it again sometime,

827
00:42:32,040 --> 00:42:37,680
Speaker 2: you know, we'll see you later. And the guy got

828
00:42:37,680 --> 00:42:40,680
Speaker 2: approached the next day at work from the person that

829
00:42:40,719 --> 00:42:43,400
Speaker 2: invited him over there and was just like, hey, you know,

830
00:42:43,480 --> 00:42:45,520
Speaker 2: we did have a good time, but you know we can't.

831
00:42:45,560 --> 00:42:47,320
Speaker 2: We're not gonna be able to do this again next week.

832
00:42:49,320 --> 00:42:51,600
Speaker 2: And so you know, the guy had to explain like, no, no,

833
00:42:51,640 --> 00:42:53,879
Speaker 2: I didn't you know, I wasn't making a commitment. But

834
00:42:53,960 --> 00:42:56,359
Speaker 2: the guy was concerned that you just thought that, Hey,

835
00:42:56,400 --> 00:42:59,160
Speaker 2: I just show up the same same day, same time,

836
00:42:59,640 --> 00:43:01,960
Speaker 2: you guys, make me dinner again, like you know, we'll

838
00:43:04,440 --> 00:43:09,080
Speaker 2: that much time with you. They took it very literally. Wow.

839
00:43:09,200 --> 00:43:11,760
Speaker 1: It's kind of the premise of the new Tim Robinson

840
00:43:11,760 --> 00:43:14,520
Speaker 1: Paul redmovie That's good. You watch the trailer for that.

841
00:43:15,040 --> 00:43:17,080
Speaker 1: It's kind of the same thing where he's just like, hey, yeah,

842
00:43:17,080 --> 00:43:19,399
Speaker 1: we had a couple of good hangs, but we got

843
00:43:19,440 --> 00:43:20,879
Speaker 1: to kind of I mean, we're not doing this again.

844
00:43:21,920 --> 00:43:27,120
Speaker 1: That's funny. Man. You just don't know, like this is

845
00:43:27,200 --> 00:43:29,560
Speaker 1: just all we know, right, You don't know what other

846
00:43:29,600 --> 00:43:32,799
Speaker 1: people know and how they live and their cultures, and

847
00:43:32,840 --> 00:43:35,960
Speaker 1: you just kind of live your life and you you

848
00:43:36,120 --> 00:43:40,400
Speaker 1: just don't know how other people perceive the things you're saying.

849
00:43:40,600 --> 00:43:44,319
Speaker 1: I had no clue that me saying hi smiling to

850
00:43:44,360 --> 00:43:49,160
Speaker 1: people that come from other places would be like yeah,

851
00:43:49,239 --> 00:43:53,160
Speaker 1: that yeah, that's very off putting. Like it just that's

852
00:43:53,200 --> 00:43:56,080
Speaker 1: a pretty normal, nice like thing to do in my world. Right,

853
00:43:56,200 --> 00:44:01,160
Speaker 1: That's wow, that's actually pretty funny. Another thing. I love

854
00:44:02,400 --> 00:44:05,319
Speaker 1: wet socks. Oh yeah, love a good wet sock.

855
00:44:05,640 --> 00:44:07,760
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, what kind of wet we're talking about here?

856
00:44:08,600 --> 00:44:12,960
Speaker 1: Well, if it's slightly like let's say you're it's raining outside,

857
00:44:13,120 --> 00:44:15,680
Speaker 1: you've got shoes on, you've got socks on as well.

858
00:44:15,840 --> 00:44:17,160
Speaker 2: Standard outerwear Yeah.

859
00:44:17,440 --> 00:44:20,360
Speaker 1: And let's say you were to like step in a

860
00:44:20,360 --> 00:44:23,800
Speaker 1: puddle and it just kind of encompasses your whole foot

861
00:44:23,840 --> 00:44:26,520
Speaker 1: and it just kind of gets like a little soaked.

862
00:44:27,040 --> 00:44:30,200
Speaker 1: Love that, yeah, soak it up. Get that squish, you

863
00:44:30,200 --> 00:44:32,480
Speaker 1: know when you're when you're walking and you can just

864
00:44:32,600 --> 00:44:37,959
Speaker 1: feel and hear the squish like as you're walking. Oh man,

865
00:44:38,200 --> 00:44:40,279
Speaker 1: that's a feeling that you don't get very often. But

866
00:44:40,320 --> 00:44:42,680
Speaker 1: when you do, it's like I'm living right now. Yeah,

867
00:44:42,840 --> 00:44:47,000
Speaker 1: Like I am living. And then go home, take the

868
00:44:47,080 --> 00:44:51,800
Speaker 1: shoes off. You got them wet, soaked. Sometimes they get discolored,

869
00:44:51,800 --> 00:44:53,440
Speaker 1: you know, from the shoe and stuff, and when they

870
00:44:53,440 --> 00:44:56,160
Speaker 1: get wet, it's pretty incredible.

871
00:44:55,760 --> 00:44:57,360
Speaker 2: Don't Don't you love that too, because it's like, you know,

872
00:44:57,360 --> 00:44:59,000
Speaker 2: you take them off in your entryway because obviously you

873
00:44:59,040 --> 00:45:02,239
Speaker 2: don't want to get your your whole house messy, and

874
00:45:02,280 --> 00:45:04,719
Speaker 2: so you can see the footprints, the wet footprints from

875
00:45:04,719 --> 00:45:07,400
Speaker 2: your shoes. Yep, you take the shoes off, and then

876
00:45:07,440 --> 00:45:10,719
Speaker 2: you leave wet footprints of the sock or the bare.

877
00:45:10,520 --> 00:45:13,000
Speaker 1: Foot of the sock. But then if you take and

878
00:45:13,000 --> 00:45:15,400
Speaker 1: then you have to peel the sock off, right and

879
00:45:15,440 --> 00:45:18,160
Speaker 1: it gets heavy, you know, it's like soaked and then

880
00:45:18,280 --> 00:45:22,719
Speaker 1: your foot is like this cold like it's it's kind

881
00:45:22,719 --> 00:45:25,160
Speaker 1: of it's not wet anymore. Yeah, but it's got that

882
00:45:25,280 --> 00:45:26,879
Speaker 1: kind of damp cold to it.

883
00:45:27,000 --> 00:45:28,879
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, it looks like it looks like it's been

884
00:45:28,880 --> 00:45:30,200
Speaker 2: in like the bathtub for too long.

885
00:45:30,400 --> 00:45:33,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's kind of got that wrinkle, it's got that

886
00:45:33,520 --> 00:45:37,319
Speaker 1: wring going. It's it's different and it's not something that

887
00:45:37,400 --> 00:45:42,200
Speaker 1: you experience every day, but it's something that when it happens,

888
00:45:42,480 --> 00:45:47,640
Speaker 1: oh you love it. That's love a good wet sock.

889
00:45:47,760 --> 00:45:51,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, something I didn't even think about today.

890
00:45:51,320 --> 00:45:54,520
Speaker 2: I mean, it was so cold outside. It was snowing

891
00:45:54,560 --> 00:45:58,480
Speaker 2: here outside, but snow it's it's too cold to melt,

892
00:45:58,880 --> 00:46:01,719
Speaker 2: so no opportunity to get away sock. But what I

893
00:46:01,760 --> 00:46:03,360
Speaker 2: love is when you get some snow on the ground

894
00:46:03,400 --> 00:46:05,960
Speaker 2: here and you're driving along the snow on the roads

895
00:46:05,960 --> 00:46:07,719
Speaker 2: and everything, and you get those guys that are just

896
00:46:07,800 --> 00:46:10,600
Speaker 2: going like way too fast for conditions. Oh yeah, and

897
00:46:10,640 --> 00:46:13,680
Speaker 2: they just like blaze past you. Well they're so yeah,

898
00:46:13,719 --> 00:46:17,520
Speaker 2: you're you're going you know, forty in the sixty mile zone, yeah,

899
00:46:17,520 --> 00:46:19,360
Speaker 2: and these guys are going like seventy.

900
00:46:19,680 --> 00:46:23,680
Speaker 1: Yeah they're But those people, it's like when that happens,

901
00:46:23,920 --> 00:46:27,640
Speaker 1: I don't even fear for myself, you know, on the

902
00:46:27,719 --> 00:46:33,080
Speaker 1: road dangerous conditions. I don't feel unsafe. I think I'm

903
00:46:33,080 --> 00:46:35,400
Speaker 1: not a good enough driver that guy yet, is it. No,

904
00:46:35,680 --> 00:46:36,879
Speaker 1: that's kind of where my FLDS at.

905
00:46:37,000 --> 00:46:39,080
Speaker 2: And I mean both of us, we've had correct division.

906
00:46:39,120 --> 00:46:41,400
Speaker 2: You know, you've got the glasses, you know, contacts, that

907
00:46:41,440 --> 00:46:43,280
Speaker 2: type of stuff. You know, I had to get laser

908
00:46:43,320 --> 00:46:44,720
Speaker 2: eyes to correct mind.

909
00:46:44,840 --> 00:46:46,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, just care about those you don't shoot anybody.

910
00:46:47,040 --> 00:46:50,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, but uh, like I still feel like I need

911
00:46:50,600 --> 00:46:54,080
Speaker 2: some work because I'm having trouble picking out the lane

912
00:46:54,120 --> 00:46:57,440
Speaker 2: in the road. But those guys they know, they know,

913
00:46:57,719 --> 00:46:59,680
Speaker 2: but they know exactly where they're supposed to be, and

914
00:46:59,719 --> 00:47:02,200
Speaker 2: so I have to correct myself based on them. Right.

915
00:47:02,560 --> 00:47:06,480
Speaker 1: They're like they're they're the epitome of the back to

916
00:47:06,520 --> 00:47:09,160
Speaker 1: the future line. You know, where we're going, we don't

917
00:47:09,200 --> 00:47:14,000
Speaker 1: need roads. They just kind of fly over the roads themselves,

918
00:47:14,120 --> 00:47:17,799
Speaker 1: over the lanes, through the snow, the ice, the slush.

919
00:47:18,200 --> 00:47:21,719
Speaker 1: They know where they're heading. Yeah, okay, they are. They're

920
00:47:21,760 --> 00:47:26,640
Speaker 1: the driven people that have goals. They hit goals and

921
00:47:26,680 --> 00:47:28,080
Speaker 1: then they make even harder goals.

922
00:47:28,080 --> 00:47:31,920
Speaker 2: Well, you know, this whole episode is about love. What

923
00:47:32,200 --> 00:47:36,200
Speaker 2: if those people driving so fast are pursuing, you know,

924
00:47:36,640 --> 00:47:37,640
Speaker 2: a separated love.

925
00:47:38,160 --> 00:47:41,200
Speaker 1: Well, it kind of makes sense. Valentine's always falls in

926
00:47:41,280 --> 00:47:41,840
Speaker 1: the winter.

927
00:47:41,920 --> 00:47:45,120
Speaker 2: You know, because we're looking at the road, right, But

928
00:47:45,160 --> 00:47:47,600
Speaker 2: for all we know, Cupid could be flying ahead of

929
00:47:47,600 --> 00:47:49,359
Speaker 2: that car, Yeah, guiding them on their.

930
00:47:49,239 --> 00:47:52,080
Speaker 1: Way, guiding them. Oh, I didn't even think about that.

931
00:47:52,080 --> 00:47:54,520
Speaker 2: That's that's the climax of the movie, right, yep. That's

932
00:47:54,520 --> 00:47:55,200
Speaker 2: got to be the climate.

933
00:47:55,320 --> 00:47:59,360
Speaker 1: They are getting weaved and pulled through life to get

934
00:47:59,480 --> 00:48:02,480
Speaker 1: to the old some destination, which is their loved one

935
00:48:02,560 --> 00:48:05,680
Speaker 1: who's leaving on an airplane, and they've got to catch

936
00:48:05,760 --> 00:48:08,880
Speaker 1: them before they board the plane because if they were

937
00:48:08,880 --> 00:48:11,120
Speaker 1: to board the plane, they'll never see them again.

938
00:48:11,160 --> 00:48:11,600
Speaker 2: We know this.

939
00:48:11,680 --> 00:48:14,520
Speaker 1: You can't just get on a fight and follow them

940
00:48:14,640 --> 00:48:17,960
Speaker 1: or drive and fly, you know, follow them. This is it.

941
00:48:18,440 --> 00:48:19,959
Speaker 1: If they get on that plane, it's over.

942
00:48:20,280 --> 00:48:20,560
Speaker 2: Yep.

943
00:48:22,360 --> 00:48:25,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, I never thought about that. Now, when I'm driving,

944
00:48:25,840 --> 00:48:29,560
Speaker 1: you know, snowy conditions, bad weather, and somebody's flying through,

945
00:48:29,680 --> 00:48:32,480
Speaker 1: I'm not only gonna think God, wish I could do that.

946
00:48:32,680 --> 00:48:37,440
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be thinking somebody found love. Yeah, that's incredible.

947
00:48:37,680 --> 00:48:39,960
Speaker 2: We got to get Johnny get Bateman on the phone.

948
00:48:40,000 --> 00:48:42,600
Speaker 1: Get Bateman's perfect for these movies.

949
00:48:42,719 --> 00:48:45,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm thinking. I'm thinking you can play Cupid and

950
00:48:45,480 --> 00:48:47,040
Speaker 2: the main lead both.

951
00:48:47,200 --> 00:48:54,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, actually genius, genius, he plays both, but they both

952
00:48:54,600 --> 00:48:57,080
Speaker 1: act different? Well, can Bateman play a different way?

953
00:48:57,080 --> 00:48:59,680
Speaker 2: Oh, he's got range range.

954
00:49:00,719 --> 00:49:03,440
Speaker 1: Baby seems like a guy, this is who he is.

955
00:49:03,480 --> 00:49:06,719
Speaker 2: Well, I mean you'd have you'd have arrested development Bateman. Yeah,

956
00:49:06,800 --> 00:49:09,080
Speaker 2: who would be the Cupid obviously, because he's kind of

957
00:49:09,080 --> 00:49:10,360
Speaker 2: a bumbling.

958
00:49:09,920 --> 00:49:11,560
Speaker 1: Guy, kind of bumbling it and then you get.

959
00:49:11,440 --> 00:49:13,120
Speaker 2: Like Ozark Bateman that oh.

960
00:49:13,040 --> 00:49:16,719
Speaker 1: True, he's a little more conniving, little serious. Okay, all right,

961
00:49:16,840 --> 00:49:18,239
Speaker 1: little more Yeah, I get it.

962
00:49:18,840 --> 00:49:22,839
Speaker 2: Character that you can really root for, root for. Yeah,

963
00:49:22,920 --> 00:49:24,680
Speaker 2: you know, you gotta really for us.

964
00:49:24,719 --> 00:49:27,520
Speaker 1: I've never played a character you root for, that's for

965
00:49:27,640 --> 00:49:30,680
Speaker 1: damn sure. He's a character you enjoy watching. He's a

966
00:49:30,760 --> 00:49:33,880
Speaker 1: character that when he talks, you're like, yeah, I mean,

967
00:49:33,920 --> 00:49:37,160
Speaker 1: I don't hate it. He's not a guy you root for.

968
00:49:37,960 --> 00:49:44,600
Speaker 1: That's funny. Bateman would He's gotta play both, gotta play both. Yes,

969
00:49:45,239 --> 00:49:49,319
Speaker 1: that's great. But but if Bateman plays both, Cupid in

970
00:49:49,400 --> 00:49:52,480
Speaker 1: this instance can't be the chubby baby. Cupid's got to

971
00:49:52,520 --> 00:49:55,359
Speaker 1: be in like a red suit, pink suit, red suit.

972
00:49:55,400 --> 00:49:58,440
Speaker 2: You got Christmas on the mind? Stop thinking about Cupid Christmas?

973
00:50:00,200 --> 00:50:03,440
Speaker 1: Telling me Valentine's does it ever read related to it?

974
00:50:03,560 --> 00:50:06,760
Speaker 2: I think you could cgi CGI.

975
00:50:06,960 --> 00:50:09,840
Speaker 1: So it's just his face, it's his head on a

976
00:50:09,960 --> 00:50:13,759
Speaker 1: chubby baby. This is now CGI the budgets climbing. Not

977
00:50:13,760 --> 00:50:15,960
Speaker 1: only did we cast Bateman in two roles, now we

978
00:50:16,080 --> 00:50:19,279
Speaker 1: have Cgi involved well.

979
00:50:19,520 --> 00:50:21,719
Speaker 2: Plus the baby is an assassin a ninja.

980
00:50:23,280 --> 00:50:27,680
Speaker 1: Baatement's playing the assassin ninja. There's a whole other movie.

981
00:50:28,520 --> 00:50:32,680
Speaker 1: Oh yes, there's a whole franchise of Cupid ship. I

982
00:50:32,719 --> 00:50:34,920
Speaker 1: think we can do, like there's a whole there's a

983
00:50:34,960 --> 00:50:35,640
Speaker 1: whole thing here.

984
00:50:38,000 --> 00:50:39,560
Speaker 2: That's good, that's really good.

985
00:50:39,600 --> 00:50:42,239
Speaker 1: Think about it. This is this has got some good

986
00:50:42,320 --> 00:50:43,600
Speaker 1: levels to it. You know who else?

987
00:50:43,640 --> 00:50:43,920

Speaker 1: have the very service they're trying to sell me. They

1000
00:51:14,960 --> 00:51:18,800

1012
00:51:52,239 --> 00:51:54,920
Speaker 1: like love them awesome. Here, let me ask you a question.

1013
00:51:54,960 --> 00:51:57,239
Speaker 1: And I'm just like, well, all right, all a sudden

1014
00:51:57,239 --> 00:52:00,000
Speaker 1: their spiel because sometimes it's just kind of I'm gonna

1015
00:52:00,320 --> 00:52:01,279
Speaker 1: like I love to hear.

1016
00:52:03,200 --> 00:52:05,640
Speaker 2: I don't think that's I don't think that's a nerd category.

1017
00:52:05,760 --> 00:52:09,480
Speaker 1: Like I think like a crazy person like a nerd is.

1018
00:52:09,480 --> 00:52:14,279
Speaker 2: Somebody like I like, you know, horses, Okay.

1019
00:52:13,520 --> 00:52:16,960
Speaker 1: You know I like sci fi and yeah, not salespeople.

1020
00:52:17,000 --> 00:52:21,160
Speaker 1: So then she she goes through, she puts in my stuff.

1021
00:52:21,520 --> 00:52:27,160
Speaker 1: It's a whole thing. And then it turns out and

1022
00:52:27,239 --> 00:52:32,080
Speaker 1: I remember, I have no intentions of switching my service

1023
00:52:32,360 --> 00:52:34,600
Speaker 1: or doing whatever she's selling me. I'm just along for

1024
00:52:34,680 --> 00:52:37,600
Speaker 1: the ride. So then she gets to the end and

1025
00:52:37,640 --> 00:52:39,800
Speaker 1: I'm just like, you know what, I think I'm good

1026
00:52:40,200 --> 00:52:44,600
Speaker 1: and blew her mind. Could not understand what I was doing.

1027
00:52:44,719 --> 00:52:47,280
Speaker 1: It's like, listen, I think what you're doing is great,

1028
00:52:47,360 --> 00:52:49,759
Speaker 1: because I do. I think what they're doing is fantastic.

1029
00:52:49,800 --> 00:52:52,359
Speaker 2: Did you make physical contact with the salesperson at this time?

1030
00:52:52,440 --> 00:52:55,399
Speaker 2: Did you five? Did you like pat her on the back?

1031
00:52:55,640 --> 00:52:55,960
Speaker 1: I did not.

1032
00:52:56,280 --> 00:52:58,920
Speaker 2: Was this like a serious like did you channel dat energy?

1033
00:52:59,080 --> 00:53:01,719
Speaker 2: She she tries, as you can channel dad energy through

1034
00:53:01,800 --> 00:53:03,279
Speaker 2: the hand into the.

1035
00:53:03,480 --> 00:53:06,279
Speaker 1: There was a thing. There was a moment in the

1036
00:53:06,480 --> 00:53:10,480
Speaker 1: series of questions where whatever I answered, she gave me

1037
00:53:10,520 --> 00:53:13,400
Speaker 1: a fist bump for so I did do the fist bump, okay,

1038
00:53:13,480 --> 00:53:16,000
Speaker 1: but I didn't like belittle her if that's what you're

1039
00:53:16,040 --> 00:53:17,960
Speaker 1: asking and pat her on the head and be like

1040
00:53:18,040 --> 00:53:20,759
Speaker 1: this is really good. I never did any of that.

1041
00:53:21,520 --> 00:53:23,040
Speaker 1: But in the end, I was like, you know what,

1042
00:53:23,160 --> 00:53:26,560
Speaker 1: I'm good. I love Verizon. I'm not leaving Verizon actually

1043
00:53:26,600 --> 00:53:30,160
Speaker 1: sponsoring this side of the podcast episode this week, so

1044
00:53:30,200 --> 00:53:32,759
Speaker 1: this is great and uh and I'm just like, you know,

1045
00:53:32,800 --> 00:53:34,960
Speaker 1: but I love what you're doing. I love your strategy.

1046
00:53:35,200 --> 00:53:37,239
Speaker 1: I loved everything about what's happening here.

1047
00:53:37,440 --> 00:53:40,080
Speaker 2: I could tell that you loved it because as you

1048
00:53:40,120 --> 00:53:43,760
Speaker 2: were telling me the story, you would avert your eyes

1049
00:53:44,360 --> 00:53:47,560
Speaker 2: like and look away. Yeah, which as we've as we've

1050
00:53:47,560 --> 00:53:50,879
Speaker 2: stayed it before. Yes, that's I mean, that is an

1051
00:53:50,920 --> 00:53:55,000
Speaker 2: approval mechanism right there. Mm hmm. It's you make eye contact,

1052
00:53:55,320 --> 00:53:57,120
Speaker 2: you say what you're gonna say, and then yeah, you

1053
00:53:57,360 --> 00:53:58,000
Speaker 2: get out of there.

1054
00:53:58,280 --> 00:54:04,040
Speaker 1: Yeah. I just think it's fun, you know, people doing

1055
00:54:04,080 --> 00:54:07,759
Speaker 1: their jobs and doing it at a high level. I

1056
00:54:07,800 --> 00:54:14,719
Speaker 1: did appreciate, you know, her willingness to be excited when

1057
00:54:14,760 --> 00:54:17,680
Speaker 1: I told her very basic things about my cell phone plan.

1058
00:54:18,520 --> 00:54:22,000
Speaker 1: And you know, that's just fun. Like the energy like

1059
00:54:22,080 --> 00:54:23,839
Speaker 1: she's going places, I guess.

1060
00:54:23,760 --> 00:54:28,160
Speaker 2: Was kind of my what was this person's name, no clue.

1061
00:54:28,480 --> 00:54:31,719
Speaker 1: No clue, didn't care. I And it's not that I

1062
00:54:31,719 --> 00:54:34,160
Speaker 1: don't care that she has a name. I'm excited that

1063
00:54:34,200 --> 00:54:34,600
Speaker 1: she has a name.

1064
00:54:34,640 --> 00:54:35,400
Speaker 2: Names are important.

1065
00:54:35,520 --> 00:54:38,399
Speaker 1: Names are important. Everyone loves to hear their name. I

1066
00:54:38,560 --> 00:54:43,960
Speaker 1: just didn't care to remember it beyond that moment, I guess,

1067
00:54:44,200 --> 00:54:45,040
Speaker 1: so I moved on.

1068
00:54:45,520 --> 00:54:47,279
Speaker 2: It's it's kind of you know, it's amazing as you

1069
00:54:47,320 --> 00:54:49,560
Speaker 2: just talk about these these chances for people to share,

1070
00:54:49,880 --> 00:54:52,200
Speaker 2: share who they actually are and really get that out

1071
00:54:52,200 --> 00:54:56,040
Speaker 2: in the world. And so I love like my apartment,

1072
00:54:56,120 --> 00:54:59,040
Speaker 2: my gym. Yeah, there I'll go, I'll do some treadmill,

1073
00:54:59,160 --> 00:55:01,200
Speaker 2: you know, I'll do some different stuff, you know, maybe

1074
00:55:01,200 --> 00:55:03,360
Speaker 2: like listen to a podcast or you know, do something

1075
00:55:03,400 --> 00:55:05,799
Speaker 2: while I'm in there. And what I love is when

1076
00:55:05,800 --> 00:55:08,560
Speaker 2: people in there use the TVs and then turn the

1077
00:55:08,640 --> 00:55:11,879
Speaker 2: volume up way really really loud so that they can

1078
00:55:11,920 --> 00:55:13,320
Speaker 2: hear it over the treadmill.

1079
00:55:13,520 --> 00:55:16,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, because it's loud. Yeah, especially if they're running. Yeah

1080
00:55:16,880 --> 00:55:18,240
Speaker 1: they need so what's happening?

1081
00:55:18,680 --> 00:55:22,640
Speaker 2: Then I get to hear what they're listening to instead

1082
00:55:22,640 --> 00:55:25,920
Speaker 2: of what I'm listening to. Yes, So again you have

1083
00:55:26,000 --> 00:55:28,919
Speaker 2: this just great like melting pot of like I wonder

1084
00:55:28,960 --> 00:55:31,200
Speaker 2: what they're going to watch? Have you ever got I

1085
00:55:31,239 --> 00:55:32,759
Speaker 2: wonder what we're going to watch?

1086
00:55:34,600 --> 00:55:38,400
Speaker 1: Have you ever considered that in a world where you

1087
00:55:38,480 --> 00:55:41,840
Speaker 1: have earbuds or headphones in and you could listen to

1088
00:55:41,920 --> 00:55:44,640
Speaker 1: your own thing that somebody might be more important than you.

1089
00:55:44,880 --> 00:55:47,880
Speaker 1: That's where in that situation, that's how I would feel.

1090
00:55:48,040 --> 00:55:50,680
Speaker 1: I would be like, you know what, you have a

1091
00:55:50,680 --> 00:55:52,880
Speaker 1: good point, sir. I know you didn't ask me how

1092
00:55:52,920 --> 00:55:55,239
Speaker 1: I felt about this, but good point.

1093
00:55:55,760 --> 00:55:58,120
Speaker 2: You know. Actually not I think about it. It's very

1094
00:55:58,160 --> 00:56:02,200
Speaker 2: selfish of me to keep you know, the podcast to myself. Yeah,

1095
00:56:02,400 --> 00:56:03,680
Speaker 2: so I think next time I go to the gym,

1096
00:56:03,719 --> 00:56:06,120
Speaker 2: I need to bring, you know, my Bluetooth speaker in there,

1097
00:56:07,400 --> 00:56:11,200
Speaker 2: and when they have that, I'll blast this episode. Yes,

1098
00:56:11,880 --> 00:56:14,440
Speaker 2: that way they know how much I appreciate that.

1099
00:56:14,520 --> 00:56:17,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think how fun it would be there. They

1100
00:56:17,960 --> 00:56:20,000
Speaker 1: turn the volume up. It's loud, right, you can't hear

1101
00:56:20,040 --> 00:56:23,880
Speaker 1: your own thing, and uh, you like turn off your

1102
00:56:24,080 --> 00:56:27,719
Speaker 1: whatever you're listening to. You start intently watching and listening

1103
00:56:27,760 --> 00:56:30,160
Speaker 1: to what they're but now you're commenting on and talking

1104
00:56:30,160 --> 00:56:32,840
Speaker 1: to them about it. Yeah, and be like, oh, that's great,

1105
00:56:32,880 --> 00:56:35,239
Speaker 1: Oh they got the wrong one, and just start spouting

1106
00:56:35,280 --> 00:56:37,399
Speaker 1: out like things about it, like if you're gonna turn

1107
00:56:37,400 --> 00:56:42,440
Speaker 1: it on for everybody? Yeah, one like if you're gonna

1108
00:56:42,440 --> 00:56:44,640
Speaker 1: do that, if you're going to take over the room,

1109
00:56:45,160 --> 00:56:47,120
Speaker 1: let's all get it on it, like, let's go.

1110
00:56:47,719 --> 00:56:50,560
Speaker 2: That would that would be a great plan. But I'm

1111
00:56:50,560 --> 00:56:52,080
Speaker 2: one of the kind of people that if I'm looking

1112
00:56:52,080 --> 00:56:54,879
Speaker 2: at something on the treadmill that's to my left, I'm

1113
00:56:54,880 --> 00:56:56,000
Speaker 2: gonna fall off that thing.

1114
00:56:56,719 --> 00:56:58,560
Speaker 1: Oh really, yeah, you have to look to the right.

1115
00:56:58,719 --> 00:57:00,680
Speaker 2: I'm one of the people that they have those bars

1116
00:57:00,680 --> 00:57:02,400
Speaker 2: on the side of the treadmill to like keep me

1117
00:57:02,440 --> 00:57:04,920
Speaker 2: in place because of my attention strayed to the right

1118
00:57:04,920 --> 00:57:07,920
Speaker 2: of the left all unconsciously start walking that direction.

1119
00:57:08,120 --> 00:57:09,640
Speaker 1: You're a guy that if it had a seat belt,

1120
00:57:09,680 --> 00:57:10,920
Speaker 1: you'd wear it on the treadmill.

1121
00:57:11,360 --> 00:57:15,400
Speaker 2: I have clipped the emergency stop line to to my

1122
00:57:15,960 --> 00:57:17,000
Speaker 2: to my shorts before.

1123
00:57:17,160 --> 00:57:19,560
Speaker 1: How fast do you go get them?

1124
00:57:19,560 --> 00:57:20,600
Speaker 2: Good? Four miles an hour?

1125
00:57:20,840 --> 00:57:23,520
Speaker 1: Okay, all right, that's brisk, that's okay. So it's not

1126
00:57:23,560 --> 00:57:27,439
Speaker 1: like you're just yeah, yeah, bumbling around like you're you're going, yeah,

1127
00:57:27,480 --> 00:57:30,560
Speaker 1: I've got places to be. Yeah, you really do? How long?

1128
00:57:30,880 --> 00:57:32,840
Speaker 1: How long do you go at that rate? The four

1129
00:57:32,880 --> 00:57:35,080
Speaker 1: miles part? How long are you going on the treadmill?

1130
00:57:35,440 --> 00:57:37,360
Speaker 2: Well, I mean recently I've been doing four.

1131
00:57:37,200 --> 00:57:40,720
Speaker 1: Miles a day for okay, so pretty good. Go.

1132
00:57:40,840 --> 00:57:43,240
Speaker 2: I got this Europe trip and the one thing about Europe. Yeah,

1133
00:57:43,240 --> 00:57:45,520
Speaker 2: you're walking, You're on your feet, You're walking the entire time.

1134
00:57:45,560 --> 00:57:47,680
Speaker 2: So I got to make sure that, you know, the

1135
00:57:47,680 --> 00:57:49,520
Speaker 2: heart and the legs are willing.

1136
00:57:49,480 --> 00:57:52,640
Speaker 1: So you're you're training and working out for purpose, yeah

1137
00:57:52,680 --> 00:57:56,160
Speaker 1: and not just for yeah, for health well, and.

1138
00:57:56,120 --> 00:57:58,280
Speaker 2: I want to be ready to because you know, another

1139
00:57:58,320 --> 00:58:00,760
Speaker 2: thing that I love is when I'm at the airport

1140
00:58:01,320 --> 00:58:04,080
Speaker 2: and there are people at the airport that don't know

1141
00:58:04,280 --> 00:58:07,120
Speaker 2: what they're doing, where they're gone, or how to get there.

1142
00:58:09,040 --> 00:58:10,160
Speaker 1: What are you talking about?

1143
00:58:10,400 --> 00:58:12,440
Speaker 2: So you know, yeah, just the people that you know,

1144
00:58:12,520 --> 00:58:15,080
Speaker 2: the people that don't have TSA pre check that are

1145
00:58:15,080 --> 00:58:17,680
Speaker 2: going through and we got to take our shoes off. Now,

1146
00:58:18,000 --> 00:58:20,960
Speaker 2: we got to take our coats off. Like they show

1147
00:58:21,040 --> 00:58:23,240
Speaker 2: up to the front the metal detectors and they don't

1148
00:58:23,280 --> 00:58:26,160
Speaker 2: have everything ready and so they've got all the questions.

1149
00:58:26,200 --> 00:58:29,800
Speaker 2: Like the TSA officers have to repeat the instructions, you know,

1150
00:58:29,840 --> 00:58:31,760
Speaker 2: like every like twenty seconds. I got to say, like

1151
00:58:31,800 --> 00:58:34,440
Speaker 2: all shoes in the bin. Like these are the people

1152
00:58:34,440 --> 00:58:37,240
Speaker 2: that didn't hear it the first twenty times that they

1153
00:58:37,280 --> 00:58:39,360
Speaker 2: said shoes in the bin, and now are at the

1154
00:58:39,400 --> 00:58:41,520
Speaker 2: front of the line and now have their shoes still

1155
00:58:41,520 --> 00:58:43,560
Speaker 2: on their feet. Yeah, and it's not going to be

1156
00:58:43,600 --> 00:58:46,040
Speaker 2: a quick process for them to get those shoes up there.

1157
00:58:46,640 --> 00:58:51,000
Speaker 1: All right, I could. Here's the thing, like I love

1158
00:58:51,120 --> 00:58:53,200
Speaker 1: I love those people too, the people who are oblivious

1159
00:58:53,280 --> 00:58:59,000
Speaker 1: to the world, right, the people who have flown multiple

1160
00:58:59,040 --> 00:59:02,320
Speaker 1: times and since two thousand and one, and they understand

1161
00:59:02,360 --> 00:59:06,280
Speaker 1: the restrictions and the process, right, but they're shocked every

1162
00:59:06,320 --> 00:59:10,120
Speaker 1: time that they get there, which then slows it down.

1163
00:59:10,560 --> 00:59:14,080
Speaker 1: That's the that's the things pre check. How fast does

1164
00:59:14,080 --> 00:59:15,800
Speaker 1: that actually get you through the line faster?

1165
00:59:17,000 --> 00:59:20,600
Speaker 2: I mean Omaha here, Yeah, I don't think I've ever

1166
00:59:20,720 --> 00:59:23,000
Speaker 2: flown out of Omaha and had to take longer than

1167
00:59:23,120 --> 00:59:28,600
Speaker 2: three minutes for me to get from standing there waiting

1168
00:59:28,600 --> 00:59:30,240
Speaker 2: for the guy to call me up and going through.

1169
00:59:30,080 --> 00:59:32,919
Speaker 1: The So it's clutch, like it's it's an absolute.

1170
00:59:33,560 --> 00:59:35,160
Speaker 2: It used to be a challenge to me when my

1171
00:59:35,200 --> 00:59:36,760
Speaker 2: folks would drop me off when I'd be up here

1172
00:59:36,760 --> 00:59:39,280
Speaker 2: to visit, to see how fast I could go from

1173
00:59:39,320 --> 00:59:42,320
Speaker 2: their car to my gate. Wow, And I think that

1174
00:59:42,400 --> 00:59:44,920
Speaker 2: was my record was like three minutes and like fifteen

1175
00:59:45,000 --> 00:59:45,880
Speaker 2: seconds one time.

1176
00:59:46,000 --> 00:59:47,680
Speaker 1: But that doesn't give you, well, I guess that gives

1177
00:59:47,720 --> 00:59:49,520
Speaker 1: you more time than to hit the airport bar.

1178
00:59:49,840 --> 00:59:53,040
Speaker 2: Yep, yep, there's one thing I love. It's an eighteen

1179
00:59:53,120 --> 00:59:55,920
Speaker 2: dollars beer. Yeah, but I get to look out the

1180
00:59:55,960 --> 00:59:56,880
Speaker 2: window and see airplane.

1181
00:59:56,960 --> 00:59:58,920
Speaker 1: Correct, That's I was just about to say, It's not

1182
00:59:59,040 --> 01:00:01,360
Speaker 1: about the price of the beer. It's about the atmosphere

1183
01:00:01,400 --> 01:00:04,120
Speaker 1: and the experience of it, and that's what you're paying for. Yeah,

1184
01:00:04,520 --> 01:00:06,880
Speaker 1: that's there's just that's just like you're not gonna pay

1185
01:00:06,960 --> 01:00:10,200
Speaker 1: Like I bought two beers at the Creighton basketball game

1186
01:00:10,280 --> 01:00:15,120
Speaker 1: last night, and it was like twenty two dollars. I'm

1187
01:00:15,240 --> 01:00:17,600
Speaker 1: I didn't bat an eye. No, not because I have

1188
01:00:17,680 --> 01:00:19,919
Speaker 1: all this money to buy beers, but because I knew

1189
01:00:19,960 --> 01:00:22,080
Speaker 1: I was paying for the experience in the atmosphere and

1190
01:00:22,120 --> 01:00:24,880
Speaker 1: where I was at, Like, I know, I could complain

1191
01:00:24,920 --> 01:00:27,000
Speaker 1: about it, but then what does that do? Give me

1192
01:00:27,040 --> 01:00:29,960
Speaker 1: no beer? So that's just kind of where I was at.

1193
01:00:30,160 --> 01:00:31,920
Speaker 2: That's the Uh. When I used to go to the

1194
01:00:31,920 --> 01:00:34,640
Speaker 2: Braves games in Atlanta, yeh, I'd buy the cheapest ticket

1195
01:00:34,760 --> 01:00:37,080
Speaker 2: just to get in. Yeah you know, and just be like,

1196
01:00:37,160 --> 01:00:39,360
Speaker 2: I'm not spending more than thirty bucks to go to

1197
01:00:39,400 --> 01:00:41,680
Speaker 2: this game, right If there's not a thirty dollars ticket

1198
01:00:41,680 --> 01:00:43,200
Speaker 2: that I'm just not gonna go right because.

1199
01:00:42,960 --> 01:00:43,880
Speaker 1: You know you're gonna buy beers.

1200
01:00:43,880 --> 01:00:45,760
Speaker 2: But I would buy that thirty dollars ticket, or I'd

1201
01:00:45,760 --> 01:00:47,840
Speaker 2: buy that ten dollars ticket, and then i'd have, you know,

1202
01:00:48,120 --> 01:00:50,520
Speaker 2: three beers on top of that. That would be fifty

1203
01:00:50,560 --> 01:00:51,440
Speaker 2: to sixty bucks.

1204
01:00:51,480 --> 01:00:54,480
Speaker 1: But now I've paid the price of what that expensive

1205
01:00:54,480 --> 01:00:57,400
Speaker 1: ticket might have been. Yea, yeah, that's that's just kind

1206
01:00:57,400 --> 01:00:57,880
Speaker 1: of how it is.

1207
01:00:57,880 --> 01:00:58,439
Speaker 2: I do.

1208
01:01:00,280 --> 01:01:04,080
Speaker 1: Appreciate to the airport bar, and like that situation. You

1209
01:01:04,120 --> 01:01:06,520
Speaker 1: get through, like you were saying, you get through the

1210
01:01:06,520 --> 01:01:08,920
Speaker 1: people you love, which is the people who slowed down

1211
01:01:08,960 --> 01:01:11,360
Speaker 1: the process. You get through them, and it's kind of

1212
01:01:11,360 --> 01:01:14,160
Speaker 1: like your reward then is to have an ice cold

1213
01:01:14,160 --> 01:01:18,000
Speaker 1: beer yep, while you're waiting in a situation where everybody's

1214
01:01:18,040 --> 01:01:21,920
Speaker 1: waiting in tense about being there on time. Everybody's in

1215
01:01:21,920 --> 01:01:24,880
Speaker 1: the same boat. Now, everybody is in that moment of

1216
01:01:25,080 --> 01:01:27,240
Speaker 1: am I gonna get where I need to go on time?

1217
01:01:28,040 --> 01:01:30,760
Speaker 1: Do I have time for this? Or am I killing time?

1218
01:01:30,800 --> 01:01:32,800
Speaker 1: Like everybody's in that same boat. It's kind of it's

1219
01:01:32,840 --> 01:01:33,360
Speaker 1: kind of nice.

1220
01:01:33,640 --> 01:01:35,960
Speaker 2: I love, you know, having that a little bit of

1221
01:01:36,000 --> 01:01:39,720
Speaker 2: that arrogance at the airport, Like, yeah, I've flown a

1222
01:01:39,720 --> 01:01:43,080
Speaker 2: few times. Yeah, yeah, my flight's not for you know,

01:01:51,360 --> 01:01:52,520
Speaker 1: Right, you know what's up?

1227
01:01:52,680 --> 01:01:55,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean I'm not beyond you know, getting a

1228
01:01:55,040 --> 01:01:57,520
Speaker 2: little flustered. Then when it gets to about five minutes

1229
01:01:57,560 --> 01:02:01,840
Speaker 2: out and it's just like I need that check. Yeah, now,

1230
01:02:01,960 --> 01:02:05,479
Speaker 2: all right, picture of this in your head. Opening scene

1231
01:02:05,480 --> 01:02:13,080
Speaker 2: of the movie, Bateman is at the airport bar orders

1232
01:02:13,120 --> 01:02:14,800
Speaker 2: his second beer. He's got an empty rate in front

1233
01:02:14,800 --> 01:02:18,800
Speaker 2: of him, or is that second beer? And in the

1234
01:02:19,720 --> 01:02:23,479
Speaker 2: in the action of him reaching over to grab the beer,

1235
01:02:24,440 --> 01:02:27,920
Speaker 2: the bottle slips in his hand. Well, Cupid is off

1236
01:02:27,960 --> 01:02:32,360
Speaker 2: to the left shooting the arrow, and the bottle, you know,

1237
01:02:32,760 --> 01:02:35,520
Speaker 2: wobbling on the table is just enough to hit Cupid's

1238
01:02:35,600 --> 01:02:38,160
Speaker 2: arrow off and make it hit the wrong person.

1239
01:02:38,600 --> 01:02:45,160
Speaker 1: So he goes for the second one. It ricochets off

1240
01:02:45,200 --> 01:02:45,600
Speaker 1: the bottle.

1241
01:02:45,720 --> 01:02:49,600
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, so somebody else hit somebody else, and so

1242
01:02:49,600 --> 01:02:51,640
Speaker 2: then you have this symmetry in the movie of the

1243
01:02:51,640 --> 01:02:56,880
Speaker 2: first scene is Bateman at the bar by himself obviously, yeah, yeah,

1244
01:02:56,920 --> 01:03:01,000
Speaker 2: And then at the end, you've got Cupid guying Bateman's

1245
01:03:01,480 --> 01:03:08,320
Speaker 2: car to the airport to you know, reconnect him, reunite

1246
01:03:08,360 --> 01:03:10,120
Speaker 2: him with his true love.

1247
01:03:10,240 --> 01:03:11,120
Speaker 1: And there's our story.

1248
01:03:11,600 --> 01:03:11,960
Speaker 2: Finn.

1249
01:03:12,560 --> 01:03:16,600
Speaker 1: Oh, this this thing is going to be so good. Yeah,

1250
01:03:16,680 --> 01:03:19,800
Speaker 1: this is gonna be like an all time Valentine's Day

1251
01:03:19,880 --> 01:03:22,280
Speaker 1: theme movie. It's gonna be an all time Cupid movie,

1252
01:03:22,760 --> 01:03:26,400
Speaker 1: and it's gonna be the first of its kind. And

1253
01:03:26,440 --> 01:03:29,160
Speaker 1: I think because like Valentine's Date, there's an actual movie called

1254
01:03:29,240 --> 01:03:33,120
Speaker 1: Valentine's Day. Ashton Kutcher stars in it. There's this like

1255
01:03:34,480 --> 01:03:37,880
Speaker 1: thear theorizing of Cupid, you know, in the air, like

1256
01:03:37,960 --> 01:03:40,280
Speaker 1: Cubid's in the air, you know, but there's not an

1257
01:03:40,320 --> 01:03:41,000
Speaker 1: actual guy.

1258
01:03:42,240 --> 01:03:47,400
Speaker 2: Well there's difference. There's not just a guy Bateman.

1259
01:03:48,560 --> 01:03:51,440
Speaker 1: God, I love Bateman. Is it too late to get

1260
01:03:51,480 --> 01:03:54,480
Speaker 1: Bateman on this episode to like kind of pitch it

1261
01:03:54,600 --> 01:03:55,280
Speaker 1: talk about it?

1262
01:03:55,400 --> 01:03:59,080
Speaker 2: I'm pretty sure I told Johnny about thirty minutes ago.

1263
01:03:59,360 --> 01:04:02,320
Speaker 1: Johnny, it's not, Uh, it's not that hard to get

1264
01:04:02,320 --> 01:04:05,320
Speaker 1: a guy. He's a he's got one of the largest

1265
01:04:05,320 --> 01:04:06,360
Speaker 1: podcasts in the world.

1266
01:04:06,560 --> 01:04:09,919
Speaker 2: Yeah, right now, a lot of time on his hands. Yeah,

1267
01:04:10,200 --> 01:04:12,360
Speaker 2: I mean, what other reason would you spend that much

1268
01:04:12,360 --> 01:04:13,200
Speaker 2: time to a podcast.

1269
01:04:13,240 --> 01:04:17,680
Speaker 1: Anybody podcasting has time on their hands, and you it

1270
01:04:17,720 --> 01:04:20,640
Speaker 1: would be great, you know, to uh just kind.

1271
01:04:20,480 --> 01:04:22,040
Speaker 2: Of spitball some things with him.

1272
01:04:23,040 --> 01:04:28,760
Speaker 1: That would be fun. This is a poem from the

Speaker 1: Love's got me grooving. I can't lose Thongs on the floor,

Speaker 1: Let the though swing. This loves the realist thing. It's

1281
01:05:03,200 --> 01:05:05,720
