<v Speaker 1>eighth speaker at Central. Now now I'm now I'm down playing.

0:01:06.360 --> 0:01:09.479
<v Speaker 1>He is here and we're it's Valentine's Day, it's Valentine's Week.

0:01:10.480 --> 0:01:13.400
<v Speaker 2>I'm excited to be here. Say, to get into this topic.

0:01:13.800 --> 0:01:16.440
<v Speaker 2>Longtime listener of the show, feels like the first time

0:01:16.440 --> 0:01:17.440
<v Speaker 2>I've ever been in the studio.

0:01:17.680 --> 0:01:19.480
<v Speaker 1>Yeah you yeah. He walks in and he's like, oh,

0:01:19.520 --> 0:01:21.520
<v Speaker 1>a new setup, and I go, No, exact same setup

0:01:21.600 --> 0:01:23.720
<v Speaker 1>as the last time you're here. It will be a

0:01:23.760 --> 0:01:25.800
<v Speaker 1>little different next time you're here, But yes, it is

0:01:25.800 --> 0:01:26.560
<v Speaker 1>the exact same.

0:01:26.600 --> 0:01:30.240
<v Speaker 2>In my defense, I mean the beers were full on

0:01:30.280 --> 0:01:32.560
<v Speaker 2>the desk when I walked in. Yeah, that is not

0:01:32.680 --> 0:01:35.400
<v Speaker 2>how we left the studio last time. Yeah, it's true.

0:01:36.600 --> 0:01:38.520
<v Speaker 1>There's nothing wrong with having a few beverages while you

0:01:38.880 --> 0:01:42.600
<v Speaker 1>record a podcast. In fact, I believe more podcasts maybe

0:01:42.600 --> 0:01:46.199
<v Speaker 1>more enjoyable if you enjoyed a few beverages along the way.

0:01:47.160 --> 0:01:49.760
<v Speaker 2>You hit our topic. I mean love. Yeah, I mean

0:01:49.920 --> 0:01:52.160
<v Speaker 2>to talk about love. Sometimes you need a little that

0:01:52.240 --> 0:01:53.560
<v Speaker 2>honesty juice.

0:01:53.280 --> 0:01:55.680
<v Speaker 1>You know, that's the thing when you're and we've got

0:01:55.920 --> 0:01:58.120
<v Speaker 1>you know, I don't even know. Did you know I've

0:01:58.120 --> 0:02:02.720
<v Speaker 1>got a sign in the studio, Oh, handmade says love

0:02:02.760 --> 0:02:04.920
<v Speaker 1>on it. You didn't even know this. You probably have

0:02:05.080 --> 0:02:07.400
<v Speaker 1>never even noticed that piece of artwork at.

0:02:07.400 --> 0:02:09.120
<v Speaker 2>Well, I saw it. I didn't realize the heart was

0:02:09.120 --> 0:02:10.800
<v Speaker 2>supposed to be the Oh that is the L I

0:02:10.800 --> 0:02:16.799
<v Speaker 2>thought it was just the the lve the Volleyball Association.

0:02:17.120 --> 0:02:19.800
<v Speaker 1>Las Vegas Entertainment. Like, we'll go a kind of bullshit.

0:02:19.840 --> 0:02:22.680
<v Speaker 1>Are you promoting it here? No, it's it's love. Love

0:02:22.760 --> 0:02:24.359
<v Speaker 1>is in the air, Love is on the walls. It

0:02:24.480 --> 0:02:27.240
<v Speaker 1>is Valentine's Week, and that's what we're here to talk about.

0:02:27.280 --> 0:02:30.440
<v Speaker 1>Talk about Valentine's Day. It's funny because it could mean

0:02:30.440 --> 0:02:32.080
<v Speaker 1>a lot of things to a lot of different people.

0:02:32.120 --> 0:02:35.120
<v Speaker 1>And that's kinda I think where we're heading today is

0:02:35.160 --> 0:02:38.520
<v Speaker 1>that this this subject, it's so deep and everything involve

0:02:38.600 --> 0:02:43.400
<v Speaker 1>Valentine's Day. It has various different meanings. I just have

0:02:43.520 --> 0:02:45.800
<v Speaker 1>one thing though, right off the top, I want to

0:02:46.360 --> 0:02:48.679
<v Speaker 1>like put out there because I don't think a lot

0:02:48.720 --> 0:02:54.440
<v Speaker 1>of people know this, but Valentine's Day. I mean, I

0:02:54.440 --> 0:02:56.600
<v Speaker 1>guess it depends on how it's all relative. It's not

0:02:56.680 --> 0:03:01.200
<v Speaker 1>that old really, Yeah, it started in nineteen ten. Did

0:03:01.240 --> 0:03:04.240
<v Speaker 1>you know that? That's not that's honestly, when you think

0:03:04.280 --> 0:03:06.400
<v Speaker 1>of like things that we've just been a part of

0:03:06.440 --> 0:03:08.640
<v Speaker 1>our entire lives, that's not that long ago.

0:03:08.800 --> 0:03:10.960
<v Speaker 2>Well, in all the events, I mean a big event

0:03:11.000 --> 0:03:12.919
<v Speaker 2>when it hits that anniversary, I mean normally you have

0:03:12.960 --> 0:03:15.000
<v Speaker 2>that one hundred years in retrospect. Do you have that

0:03:15.080 --> 0:03:20.160
<v Speaker 2>big thing like where was the twenty ten Valentine's Centennial celebration?

0:03:20.360 --> 0:03:26.920
<v Speaker 1>Yep? It was invented by Joyce Clyde Hall in Kansas City, Missouri.

0:03:27.400 --> 0:03:32.720
<v Speaker 1>In nineteen ten. She owned a company called Hall Brothers. Eventually,

0:03:32.760 --> 0:03:35.480
<v Speaker 1>in nineteen fifty four, she changed that business name to

0:03:35.560 --> 0:03:38.280
<v Speaker 1>something you all are going to know about Hallmark Company.

0:03:38.400 --> 0:03:40.360
<v Speaker 1>Oh wow, yeah, nineteen ten.

0:03:40.680 --> 0:03:46.680
<v Speaker 2>Joyce sounds like an Irish name, Joyce. I mean the

0:03:46.720 --> 0:03:50.880
<v Speaker 2>Irish aren't necessarily some people you think of as like sensual. No. No,

0:03:51.280 --> 0:03:53.760
<v Speaker 2>So you think this was like overcompensating on their part.

0:03:54.000 --> 0:03:55.200
<v Speaker 1>It very well could be.

0:03:56.360 --> 0:03:56.960
<v Speaker 2>That's funny.

0:03:57.680 --> 0:04:03.200
<v Speaker 1>So Valentine's Day Ruary fourteenth, At least this year it's

0:04:03.240 --> 0:04:06.160
<v Speaker 1>on February fourteenth. I don't know, I've known a lot

0:04:06.200 --> 0:04:09.240
<v Speaker 1>of Valentine's Days. It kind of like falls around depending

0:04:09.280 --> 0:04:12.120
<v Speaker 1>on the day. Right, this year it's on the fourteenth.

0:04:12.320 --> 0:04:14.360
<v Speaker 1>It always falls on a Friday, right.

0:04:14.400 --> 0:04:16.200
<v Speaker 2>No, it always falls on the fourteenth.

0:04:16.360 --> 0:04:18.599
<v Speaker 1>Okay, I thought it was a Friday thing.

0:04:19.120 --> 0:04:21.840
<v Speaker 2>No. No, And see this is probably a common thing

0:04:21.920 --> 0:04:24.760
<v Speaker 2>because I mean for anybody who's watched a sitcom in

0:04:24.800 --> 0:04:27.200
<v Speaker 2>their life, I mean, it's tough to keep track of

0:04:27.240 --> 0:04:30.360
<v Speaker 2>the date. Yeah, I mean that's almost like an assumed plot.

0:04:30.440 --> 0:04:33.840
<v Speaker 2>Like you know, these these shows get into that fortieth

0:04:33.880 --> 0:04:37.479
<v Speaker 2>fiftieth episode, you know, they're they're shooting blanks at this point, Like,

0:04:37.480 --> 0:04:40.520
<v Speaker 2>what else can we talk about Valentine's Day? What day

0:04:40.560 --> 0:04:43.400
<v Speaker 2>is it on? I don't know, Friday? No, No, no,

0:04:43.440 --> 0:04:44.839
<v Speaker 2>it's got a date. It's got a date.

0:04:45.040 --> 0:04:48.760
<v Speaker 1>It's on the fourteenth. Well, that's something that I was unaware.

0:04:48.760 --> 0:04:51.159
<v Speaker 1>So we're learning today. We're learning a little bit about

0:04:51.200 --> 0:04:53.560
<v Speaker 1>the very special holiday of Valentine's Day.

0:04:53.760 --> 0:04:57.920
<v Speaker 2>When this show comes out, it's going to be right

0:04:58.000 --> 0:05:02.680
<v Speaker 2>before Valentine's Day. Team, this is your call to action.

0:05:04.080 --> 0:05:07.480
<v Speaker 1>The fourteenth. Yeah, so you know, this is a time

0:05:07.520 --> 0:05:12.880
<v Speaker 1>where a lot of people generally buy flowers, candy. You know,

0:05:13.200 --> 0:05:17.000
<v Speaker 1>myself working in uh, you know, the grocery business for

0:05:17.040 --> 0:05:19.680
<v Speaker 1>a long time, this was a busy time generally the

0:05:19.760 --> 0:05:24.320
<v Speaker 1>day before, generally Valentine's Day, especially sometimes the day after.

0:05:24.760 --> 0:05:27.800
<v Speaker 1>A lot of times it's a lot of work in

0:05:27.800 --> 0:05:30.000
<v Speaker 1>the build up to it, and then it's just chaos,

0:05:30.600 --> 0:05:32.840
<v Speaker 1>a day of to get the flowers out, to get

0:05:32.839 --> 0:05:36.159
<v Speaker 1>the chocolates out, all those last minute fellas. It's such

0:05:36.160 --> 0:05:37.480
<v Speaker 1>a last minute holiday.

0:05:38.000 --> 0:05:40.640
<v Speaker 2>I love that you said, like sometimes the day after,

0:05:41.160 --> 0:05:43.680
<v Speaker 2>ye like you got these like that would probably be

0:05:43.680 --> 0:05:47.159
<v Speaker 2>me the bargain shop. I mean, I'm not paying I'm

0:05:47.160 --> 0:05:50.560
<v Speaker 2>not paying retail for this. You know, Reese's peanut butter

0:05:50.600 --> 0:05:54.279
<v Speaker 2>cup that's a foot wide in the shape of a heart. Yeah,

0:05:54.360 --> 0:05:57.080
<v Speaker 2>I'm I'm throwing this over in the dog food aisle.

0:05:57.400 --> 0:06:00.360
<v Speaker 2>I'm going to you know, pick it up tomorrow and

0:06:00.360 --> 0:06:02.560
<v Speaker 2>get twenty percent off on it.

0:06:02.560 --> 0:06:04.480
<v Speaker 1>It's actually it's funny because it's on a Friday. This year,

0:06:04.480 --> 0:06:09.000
<v Speaker 1>we've covered this deeply. Now there will be people who

0:06:09.000 --> 0:06:11.320
<v Speaker 1>are going to have, you know what their quote unquote

0:06:11.360 --> 0:06:14.640
<v Speaker 1>Valentine's date is on a Saturday on the fifteen, and

0:06:14.680 --> 0:06:17.400
<v Speaker 1>there's gonna be people waiting to do any type of

0:06:17.440 --> 0:06:19.880
<v Speaker 1>shopping for that until the morning or the afternoon of

0:06:19.880 --> 0:06:21.960
<v Speaker 1>the fifteenth to do that very thing, To get the

0:06:22.000 --> 0:06:26.159
<v Speaker 1>discounted candy, to get the discounted flowers, even to save

0:06:26.200 --> 0:06:28.360
<v Speaker 1>a bug for Valentin'sday. It's a real thing, you.

0:06:28.320 --> 0:06:32.119
<v Speaker 2>Know, another important thing to just throw out there. Don't

0:06:32.720 --> 0:06:35.760
<v Speaker 2>hide chocolate in the dog food aisle. That was a

0:06:35.800 --> 0:06:38.960
<v Speaker 2>poor choice. I was just thinking on my feet. Dogs

0:06:38.960 --> 0:06:40.360
<v Speaker 2>and chocolate they don't go together.

0:06:40.520 --> 0:06:41.400
<v Speaker 1>They do not go together.

0:06:41.480 --> 0:06:44.359
<v Speaker 2>Do not hide the chocolate next to the dog food.

0:06:44.480 --> 0:06:47.080
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, that's quite dangerous for the pups.

0:06:47.120 --> 0:06:49.240
<v Speaker 2>So the public service announcement, that's.

0:06:49.160 --> 0:06:51.000
<v Speaker 1>A seclic service announcement.

0:06:51.040 --> 0:06:52.000
<v Speaker 2>That's the second one.

0:06:52.200 --> 0:06:56.200
<v Speaker 1>Do not tie in chocolate with dog food. That's you

0:06:56.240 --> 0:07:02.360
<v Speaker 1>know what that actually that's going to save lives. I've

0:07:02.400 --> 0:07:04.800
<v Speaker 1>got a few here's the few things I just told you.

0:07:05.120 --> 0:07:06.840
<v Speaker 1>Valentine's Day. To me, it's like it was a lot

0:07:06.880 --> 0:07:10.880
<v Speaker 1>of work for me, you know, in the past. One

0:07:10.960 --> 0:07:13.760
<v Speaker 1>time though, I got to miss and skip the whole thing.

0:07:14.120 --> 0:07:16.280
<v Speaker 1>It's because I got very, very sick. I had a

0:07:16.320 --> 0:07:18.720
<v Speaker 1>severe like strep throat over. I missed like three days

0:07:18.720 --> 0:07:21.720
<v Speaker 1>of work right over Valentine's Day. I had a very

0:07:21.800 --> 0:07:26.600
<v Speaker 1>high fever, super sick. I was seeing shit like it was.

0:07:26.640 --> 0:07:27.200
<v Speaker 1>It was weird.

0:07:27.360 --> 0:07:29.840
<v Speaker 2>So probably too late for the listening audience to do

0:07:29.960 --> 0:07:32.840
<v Speaker 2>that now, Yeah, Like I had to start laying the

0:07:32.840 --> 0:07:36.000
<v Speaker 2>groundwork for that before, you know, three days.

0:07:36.400 --> 0:07:38.800
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, if you were, if you were somebody who was

0:07:39.000 --> 0:07:42.400
<v Speaker 1>wanting to be sick for Valentine's Day, I mean, yeah,

0:07:42.440 --> 0:07:45.000
<v Speaker 1>you would have put yourself in position to get those

0:07:45.080 --> 0:07:46.760
<v Speaker 1>germs five days ago.

0:07:47.040 --> 0:07:47.280
<v Speaker 3>God.

0:07:47.480 --> 0:07:50.640
<v Speaker 2>Well that's and that's where it becomes even tougher. Not

0:07:50.840 --> 0:07:53.240
<v Speaker 2>knowing what day Valentine's Day is. It makes it tough,

0:07:53.360 --> 0:07:58.040
<v Speaker 2>Like I mean, if you're just randomly firing on February, like,

0:07:59.360 --> 0:08:02.920
<v Speaker 2>could you imagine like could you imagine you know, being

0:08:03.000 --> 0:08:07.480
<v Speaker 2>sick like the tenth, eleventh, and twelfth, because then you

0:08:07.520 --> 0:08:08.800
<v Speaker 2>have the recovery.

0:08:08.320 --> 0:08:10.240
<v Speaker 1>Time yep, and then you're back and then you're.

0:08:10.120 --> 0:08:11.760
<v Speaker 2>Back, and I mean the expectation is going to be

0:08:11.760 --> 0:08:14.840
<v Speaker 2>that you're ready to go. You can't milk that two days. Yeah,

0:08:14.840 --> 0:08:16.920
<v Speaker 2>maybe one day, one day, one day you could be

0:08:16.920 --> 0:08:20.640
<v Speaker 2>like I didn't sleep well, you know, but two days, no,

0:08:20.800 --> 0:08:22.160
<v Speaker 2>sympathy's gone.

0:08:21.880 --> 0:08:26.280
<v Speaker 1>I will say. Being sick over that time, I thought

0:08:26.520 --> 0:08:28.880
<v Speaker 1>I was going to get like, oh man, you know,

0:08:28.960 --> 0:08:33.480
<v Speaker 1>we got you. Hope you feel better, you know, get ressed,

0:08:33.480 --> 0:08:35.560
<v Speaker 1>get ready, and then come back and then you know,

0:08:36.160 --> 0:08:37.839
<v Speaker 1>we'll take a break and then you you'll take over

0:08:37.840 --> 0:08:40.160
<v Speaker 1>from there. And instead I got why weren't you at work?

0:08:41.080 --> 0:08:44.640
<v Speaker 1>We needed you? It was super busy. Hope you enjoyed

0:08:44.679 --> 0:08:46.640
<v Speaker 1>your time off. I was like, no, I was very,

0:08:46.720 --> 0:08:47.280
<v Speaker 1>very sick.

0:08:49.080 --> 0:08:52.520
<v Speaker 2>Also while meanwhile there's a palette of candy that meanwhile, yeah,

0:08:52.840 --> 0:08:55.440
<v Speaker 2>just completely missed Valentine's Day because you were gone, because

0:08:55.480 --> 0:08:55.760
<v Speaker 2>I was.

0:08:55.760 --> 0:08:58.720
<v Speaker 1>Gone also around Valentine's Day, and a lot of people

0:08:58.720 --> 0:09:01.319
<v Speaker 1>don't think about this. Only the NBA All Star Weekend

0:09:01.360 --> 0:09:04.160
<v Speaker 1>falls around Valentine's Day, and it is happening again this

0:09:04.200 --> 0:09:06.960
<v Speaker 1>weekend with Valentins on Friday, You've got NBA All Start

0:09:07.000 --> 0:09:09.400
<v Speaker 1>Saturday the next day, and then the game on Sunday

0:09:09.400 --> 0:09:09.719
<v Speaker 1>as well.

0:09:10.000 --> 0:09:11.960
<v Speaker 2>Every time I think of Valentine's Day, I think of

0:09:12.000 --> 0:09:13.920
<v Speaker 2>the NBA all start. You are so right?

0:09:14.000 --> 0:09:17.880
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, so right. And staying on the sports topic, we're

0:09:17.880 --> 0:09:20.840
<v Speaker 1>a few years away from the super Bowl falling on

0:09:20.920 --> 0:09:24.120
<v Speaker 1>Valentine's date. That's going to be a special one because

0:09:24.160 --> 0:09:26.559
<v Speaker 1>what are people going to do. Are they going to

0:09:26.640 --> 0:09:29.800
<v Speaker 1>choose the game or are they going to choose go

0:09:30.000 --> 0:09:32.120
<v Speaker 1>you know, going out on the date, and how are

0:09:32.160 --> 0:09:32.439
<v Speaker 1>they going.

0:09:32.440 --> 0:09:33.160
<v Speaker 2>To spin that?

0:09:33.320 --> 0:09:35.319
<v Speaker 1>Like, what's what's going to be the game plan there?

0:09:35.360 --> 0:09:37.319
<v Speaker 2>I mean the super Bowl from last Sunday probably made

0:09:37.320 --> 0:09:39.360
<v Speaker 2>it more likely to just skip the game, just skip

0:09:39.400 --> 0:09:42.559
<v Speaker 2>the game, allgether? Hey, let's let's skip the game. We'll

0:09:42.600 --> 0:09:46.240
<v Speaker 2>watch a you know, a YouTube compilation of the commercials,

0:09:46.640 --> 0:09:47.720
<v Speaker 2>you know, after the date.

0:09:48.120 --> 0:09:52.280
<v Speaker 1>Hey, what's your what's your thoughts on the marketing tactic

0:09:52.360 --> 0:09:56.080
<v Speaker 1>now of releasing the commercials before the game and then

0:09:56.120 --> 0:09:58.200
<v Speaker 1>the then the same commercial airing during the game.

0:09:58.320 --> 0:10:00.520
<v Speaker 2>No, no, no, I hate it. I hate it. I

0:10:00.520 --> 0:10:03.520
<v Speaker 2>hate and I generally I don't even like the idea

0:10:03.720 --> 0:10:06.520
<v Speaker 2>of when they tease the commercial like oh hey, we're

0:10:06.520 --> 0:10:08.360
<v Speaker 2>gonna build this up for like the last half of

0:10:08.360 --> 0:10:12.680
<v Speaker 2>the football season. No, no, that was half the fun before.

0:10:12.679 --> 0:10:15.240
<v Speaker 2>It was just the shock factor of not knowing what

0:10:15.360 --> 0:10:16.400
<v Speaker 2>direction they were going to go.

0:10:16.640 --> 0:10:17.280
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

0:10:17.360 --> 0:10:20.640
<v Speaker 2>So I'm not appreciative of these these companies that want

0:10:20.679 --> 0:10:22.559
<v Speaker 2>to kind of you know, get ahead of the competition

0:10:22.760 --> 0:10:26.120
<v Speaker 2>or like start the buzz like early. No, give give

0:10:26.160 --> 0:10:29.079
<v Speaker 2>me the commercial and then we the viewers will tell

0:10:29.120 --> 0:10:30.439
<v Speaker 2>you who won the oscar.

0:10:30.679 --> 0:10:32.000
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I'm with you there.

0:10:32.160 --> 0:10:34.120
<v Speaker 2>They do give oscars for commercials, right.

0:10:34.000 --> 0:10:38.760
<v Speaker 1>They do not. There's a USA today?

0:10:38.800 --> 0:10:41.960
<v Speaker 2>Are you telling me? Is still It's still around?

0:10:42.080 --> 0:10:45.520
<v Speaker 1>It's still around, and they are it's still around. It's

0:10:45.559 --> 0:10:49.600
<v Speaker 1>not the same. There's not even a lot of USA

0:10:49.679 --> 0:10:53.120
<v Speaker 1>today specific like writers like on staff. It's just they

0:10:53.120 --> 0:10:56.800
<v Speaker 1>get articles and things written from consultants and I just

0:10:56.920 --> 0:10:57.720
<v Speaker 1>around the country.

0:10:57.880 --> 0:11:00.640
<v Speaker 2>You know. My favorite part of the USA work what

0:11:00.800 --> 0:11:03.160
<v Speaker 2>was that they put the little graph on the front

0:11:03.280 --> 0:11:03.880
<v Speaker 2>the front page.

0:11:03.880 --> 0:11:05.920
<v Speaker 1>I always had like a little graph.

0:11:06.440 --> 0:11:07.520
<v Speaker 2>So I was just like, what are they gonna what

0:11:07.520 --> 0:11:08.400
<v Speaker 2>are they gonna do today?

0:11:08.600 --> 0:11:11.480
<v Speaker 1>Right, So Monday morning when the paper came out, there

0:11:11.559 --> 0:11:14.920
<v Speaker 1>was a chart for the for the commercials and it

0:11:15.080 --> 0:11:18.280
<v Speaker 1>said go to the website to see the and then

0:11:18.679 --> 0:11:21.520
<v Speaker 1>on Tuesday they had the rankings.

0:11:21.320 --> 0:11:25.960
<v Speaker 2>It's very hard to translate. Yeah, the video commercial to.

0:11:26.160 --> 0:11:29.800
<v Speaker 1>The right right, you know, it was actually funny. I

0:11:29.800 --> 0:11:33.760
<v Speaker 1>still enjoy the USA today, but it's different. I mean,

0:11:33.800 --> 0:11:35.360
<v Speaker 1>it's just a whole different deal. But yeah, they do

0:11:35.440 --> 0:11:37.839
<v Speaker 1>still do their rankings. They still have people like score

0:11:38.000 --> 0:11:41.040
<v Speaker 1>the commercials or whatnot. Here's the thing that bothered me,

0:11:41.120 --> 0:11:43.120
<v Speaker 1>because you know, they are doing a lot of rolling

0:11:43.160 --> 0:11:44.960
<v Speaker 1>up the commercials to build the buzz and then it

0:11:44.960 --> 0:11:48.440
<v Speaker 1>airs during But there was a specific commercial that was

0:11:48.440 --> 0:11:51.480
<v Speaker 1>for like Tatino's Pizza Roles, the one with Tim Robinson

0:11:51.840 --> 0:11:56.240
<v Speaker 1>and that that full commercial we got weeks before the

0:11:56.320 --> 0:11:58.199
<v Speaker 1>game to promote, you know, for the super Bowl, and

0:11:58.240 --> 0:12:00.920
<v Speaker 1>then during the commercial for the actual apt for the

0:12:00.960 --> 0:12:04.720
<v Speaker 1>Super Bowl, it was a shorter, smaller version of the

0:12:04.760 --> 0:12:09.480
<v Speaker 1>ad itself that that aired. You don't even get the

0:12:09.480 --> 0:12:12.800
<v Speaker 1>full joke. It was still good, but when you know,

0:12:12.960 --> 0:12:14.920
<v Speaker 1>when you've seen the full ad, you're like, oh, that

0:12:15.000 --> 0:12:18.320
<v Speaker 1>joke has a completely different context when you've seen it,

0:12:18.360 --> 0:12:20.400
<v Speaker 1>you know. There, I don't know, I don't like that, like,

0:12:20.480 --> 0:12:23.839
<v Speaker 1>at least give us the full deal. Yeah, I didn't

0:12:23.880 --> 0:12:25.680
<v Speaker 1>like that. They they hyped it up and build the

0:12:25.720 --> 0:12:27.720
<v Speaker 1>excitement and they put this ad out and then it's

0:12:27.760 --> 0:12:30.280
<v Speaker 1>just it's part of it. You know, it's fifteen seconds

0:12:30.360 --> 0:12:30.960
<v Speaker 1>or whatever it was.

0:12:31.559 --> 0:12:34.720
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I hate to call you out on this,

0:12:34.720 --> 0:12:36.280
<v Speaker 2>but you're sound a little heartless. I mean, we found

0:12:36.320 --> 0:12:39.040
<v Speaker 2>out from the commercial that you know, to Tino's pizza

0:12:39.120 --> 0:12:41.920
<v Speaker 2>roles costs about a dollar apiece. Yeah, we did. So

0:12:42.080 --> 0:12:45.200
<v Speaker 2>you're basically saying like they need to spell like twenty

0:12:45.240 --> 0:12:47.560
<v Speaker 2>million more pizza rolls so that you can see the

0:12:47.600 --> 0:12:50.480
<v Speaker 2>full version. Yeah, well, you sit on your couch and

0:12:50.559 --> 0:12:51.319
<v Speaker 2>drink your beer.

0:12:52.920 --> 0:12:55.280
<v Speaker 1>It was a funny commercial that we are getting.

0:12:55.600 --> 0:12:57.280
<v Speaker 2>They are sponsoring us today, right.

0:12:57.200 --> 0:13:01.280
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, Today's Laugh with Me is actually sponsored by that

0:13:01.480 --> 0:13:04.960
<v Speaker 1>very commercial, not the company, not Totino's, but it's being

0:13:05.040 --> 0:13:09.840
<v Speaker 1>sponsored by the marketing group that made the commercial. They're

0:13:09.840 --> 0:13:11.400
<v Speaker 1>sponsoring us to talk about the commercial.

0:13:11.440 --> 0:13:14.080
<v Speaker 2>It's there's levels to this, love the marketing group.

0:13:15.000 --> 0:13:17.400
<v Speaker 1>There's levels of this. It's actually Totinos actually doesn't even

0:13:17.480 --> 0:13:21.120
<v Speaker 1>know we're involved in this, but we are because of

0:13:21.160 --> 0:13:23.280
<v Speaker 1>the marketing group who's hire us to you know, it's

0:13:23.400 --> 0:13:26.120
<v Speaker 1>it's a whole thing. There's levels things that a lot

0:13:26.120 --> 0:13:28.440
<v Speaker 1>of people don't know about So thanks for bringing that up.

0:13:28.760 --> 0:13:29.600
<v Speaker 2>Inside the business.

0:13:29.720 --> 0:13:32.440
<v Speaker 1>This is inside, this is inside baseball going on. But yeah, no,

0:13:32.520 --> 0:13:35.960
<v Speaker 1>that's kind of what Valentine's Day means to me. It

0:13:36.040 --> 0:13:40.640
<v Speaker 1>always meant a lot of busy time and sometimes very

0:13:40.679 --> 0:13:46.400
<v Speaker 1>sick and a lot of basketball. But that's, uh, that's

0:13:46.480 --> 0:13:49.280
<v Speaker 1>kind of where it's always been for me. It's different

0:13:49.400 --> 0:13:51.480
<v Speaker 1>to a lot of different people, you know.

0:13:52.080 --> 0:13:56.400
<v Speaker 2>I mean mine, I'm obviously I'm not married, you know,

0:13:56.920 --> 0:13:59.720
<v Speaker 2>not having that that consistent relationship by all the time

0:13:59.800 --> 0:14:02.080
<v Speaker 2>on Valentine's Day. So a lot of my prep for

0:14:02.120 --> 0:14:05.559
<v Speaker 2>the holiday, I was convincing, you know, my friends that

0:14:05.760 --> 0:14:07.440
<v Speaker 2>it was not on the fourteenth, that it was on

0:14:07.480 --> 0:14:09.800
<v Speaker 2>a different date. That way, i'd have somebody to hang

0:14:09.840 --> 0:14:10.080
<v Speaker 2>out with.

0:14:12.480 --> 0:14:14.800
<v Speaker 1>You'd tell them Valentine's Valentine's Day.

0:14:14.880 --> 0:14:17.679
<v Speaker 2>I mean, apparently it's still bears, Yeah, it still is. Yeah.

0:14:17.720 --> 0:14:19.480
<v Speaker 2>I would have mad confused if I would have started

0:14:19.520 --> 0:14:21.000
<v Speaker 2>the show by saying, ah, Jemmy, you want to hang

0:14:21.040 --> 0:14:23.480
<v Speaker 2>out this Friday? Yeah, you probably would have been like, yeah,

0:14:23.480 --> 0:14:24.920
<v Speaker 2>I got nothing, Yeah, I got nothing going on the

0:14:25.000 --> 0:14:26.359
<v Speaker 2>other why not? Yeah, what would.

0:14:27.880 --> 0:14:31.760
<v Speaker 1>Valentine's Days on? It's on like Sunday and Yeah, it's

0:14:31.760 --> 0:14:32.560
<v Speaker 1>always every Sunday.

0:14:32.640 --> 0:14:34.480
<v Speaker 2>It's always a Sunday after the super Bowl.

0:14:34.520 --> 0:14:36.880
<v Speaker 1>It's the Sunday after the super Bowl. See, that's the

0:14:36.920 --> 0:14:39.680
<v Speaker 1>type of thing we need. We need more consistency with

0:14:39.800 --> 0:14:43.720
<v Speaker 1>that kind of stuff. You know, people get confused to win.

0:14:43.800 --> 0:14:48.640
<v Speaker 1>Thanksgiving is obviously it's the was it the last Thursday

0:14:48.640 --> 0:14:53.120
<v Speaker 1>of November? It's like the fourth Thursday, the fourth Thursday.

0:14:53.240 --> 0:14:55.040
<v Speaker 1>There's there's a there's a process to it. I know,

0:14:56.040 --> 0:14:58.360
<v Speaker 1>it's never always on the twenty third. And there'll be

0:14:58.400 --> 0:15:01.160
<v Speaker 1>people who are like one day Thanksgiving on this year,

0:15:01.160 --> 0:15:04.080
<v Speaker 1>and it's like it's it's Thursday, Like we're gonna definitely

0:15:04.080 --> 0:15:05.960
<v Speaker 1>do this on Thursday this year, like always.

0:15:07.400 --> 0:15:09.960
<v Speaker 2>I'm imagining Kyle like he's listening to this episode right

0:15:09.960 --> 0:15:12.080
<v Speaker 2>now and he's frantically like googling.

0:15:11.680 --> 0:15:17.640
<v Speaker 1>Like what what day is my business? Yeah? Thanks for listening.

0:15:17.680 --> 0:15:21.960
<v Speaker 1>Go Well, some of the things that Valentine's Day that

0:15:22.040 --> 0:15:26.400
<v Speaker 1>people kind of associate with it, I don't know. Cupid, Yeah, yeah,

0:15:26.520 --> 0:15:27.520
<v Speaker 1>he's a big deal.

0:15:27.400 --> 0:15:31.200
<v Speaker 2>Right, I mean kind of the original. I mean he's

0:15:31.240 --> 0:15:35.600
<v Speaker 2>a baby, is he well, or at least he's got

0:15:35.600 --> 0:15:37.600
<v Speaker 2>the baby. Is the pudgy body you could probably say

0:15:37.600 --> 0:15:41.360
<v Speaker 2>he's a prototype of the dad bod craze, is he?

0:15:41.920 --> 0:15:43.360
<v Speaker 1>What do you think his diet's like?

0:15:43.920 --> 0:15:45.880
<v Speaker 2>Well, I mean, obviously a lot of chocolate.

0:15:46.000 --> 0:15:50.320
<v Speaker 1>Not fat shaming at all, I'm just I'm just curious. Yeah,

0:15:50.360 --> 0:15:53.760
<v Speaker 1>a lot of chocolate. What does a guy like Cupid like,

0:15:53.800 --> 0:15:56.880
<v Speaker 1>what's he eat on a daily basis? Chocolate? I could

0:15:56.880 --> 0:15:58.920
<v Speaker 1>see that. That's you know, that's.

0:15:58.760 --> 0:16:00.600
<v Speaker 2>Probably like a stereotypical answer on that.

0:16:01.320 --> 0:16:04.000
<v Speaker 1>And he eats a lot of cookies. I'm sure he

0:16:04.000 --> 0:16:06.240
<v Speaker 1>eats other things, but we know about the cookies.

0:16:06.800 --> 0:16:08.960
<v Speaker 2>I mean, what what do you think came first? The

0:16:09.680 --> 0:16:13.520
<v Speaker 2>Valentine's Day candy or the holiday?

0:16:14.080 --> 0:16:20.200
<v Speaker 1>Mm hmm, Well, based on our research, I would say

0:16:22.400 --> 0:16:26.640
<v Speaker 1>I would say the holiday, because I mean somebody jumped

0:16:26.680 --> 0:16:30.800
<v Speaker 1>in with, well, we need to how can we sell

0:16:30.800 --> 0:16:32.560
<v Speaker 1>some stuff with it. It's kind of like what came

0:16:32.600 --> 0:16:35.840
<v Speaker 1>first President's Day or furniture sales.

0:16:36.280 --> 0:16:38.480
<v Speaker 2>Well, I'm just I'm just thinking. I mean, we asked

0:16:38.480 --> 0:16:41.680
<v Speaker 2>what Cupid's diet was going to be. I mean, could

0:16:41.680 --> 0:16:42.840
<v Speaker 2>he be a chalky heart guy?

0:16:43.440 --> 0:16:43.680
<v Speaker 1>Oh?

0:16:43.760 --> 0:16:47.800
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, you know, I mean what other purposes the chalky

0:16:47.840 --> 0:16:48.200
<v Speaker 2>heart for?

0:16:48.520 --> 0:16:53.680
<v Speaker 1>So here's what you're suggesting is that it's possible that

0:16:54.560 --> 0:16:58.040
<v Speaker 1>in the marketplace there was these heart shaped chocolate boxes

0:16:58.160 --> 0:17:03.200
<v Speaker 1>and heart shaped chocolate bars, and then Valentine's Day was created,

0:17:04.119 --> 0:17:07.400
<v Speaker 1>and then somebody was like, you know what, this might

0:17:07.440 --> 0:17:09.040
<v Speaker 1>make sense if we just combined the two.

0:17:09.440 --> 0:17:11.439
<v Speaker 2>No great marketing.

0:17:14.080 --> 0:17:15.520
<v Speaker 1>I like to think the all of it came first

0:17:15.520 --> 0:17:17.920
<v Speaker 1>and then we built some chocolate around it.

0:17:17.920 --> 0:17:20.320
<v Speaker 2>It's it's interesting, you know that we have Cupid. You know,

0:17:20.359 --> 0:17:24.800
<v Speaker 2>Cupid's a recognizable thing. Where's the Cupid movie? Like, where's

0:17:24.800 --> 0:17:25.280
<v Speaker 2>the Cupid?

0:17:25.320 --> 0:17:25.520
<v Speaker 1>Ip?

0:17:25.760 --> 0:17:30.480
<v Speaker 2>Who owns Cupid to do a movie? Like we've got Frankenstein,

0:17:30.560 --> 0:17:32.919
<v Speaker 2>We've got Dracula, We've got the Mummy, like those are

0:17:32.920 --> 0:17:35.240
<v Speaker 2>all in that kind of group. We've you know, obviously

0:17:35.320 --> 0:17:38.399
<v Speaker 2>Marvel and DC and all their stuff, Like where's the

0:17:38.440 --> 0:17:39.360
<v Speaker 2>Cupid universe?

0:17:39.640 --> 0:17:42.840
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, it makes you think that maybe it's not that

0:17:42.880 --> 0:17:47.080
<v Speaker 1>people don't believe in Cupid, it's just that they downplay

0:17:47.440 --> 0:17:51.240
<v Speaker 1>any impact that this little guy may ever have. You know,

0:17:51.320 --> 0:17:53.359
<v Speaker 1>they're like, all right, it's not that there isn't a Cupid.

0:17:53.520 --> 0:17:55.520
<v Speaker 1>Let's just all agree there's a Cupid out there. There's

0:17:55.520 --> 0:17:58.320
<v Speaker 1>a little jubby ass baby but with a bow, with

0:17:58.400 --> 0:18:01.800
<v Speaker 1>a bow and an arrow, and he's he can fly right,

0:18:02.160 --> 0:18:03.199
<v Speaker 1>and I.

0:18:03.200 --> 0:18:05.240
<v Speaker 2>Think he's got those little wings, like just little wings

0:18:05.280 --> 0:18:06.320
<v Speaker 2>coming out of his back. Yeah.

0:18:06.320 --> 0:18:09.439
<v Speaker 1>So there's probably like some restrictions on how far and

0:18:09.480 --> 0:18:11.600
<v Speaker 1>how fast he can fly, but I think we can

0:18:11.640 --> 0:18:13.560
<v Speaker 1>all assume he flies, we can all agree to that.

0:18:14.200 --> 0:18:15.440
<v Speaker 2>But what his.

0:18:15.560 --> 0:18:19.720
<v Speaker 1>Impact is in the game of love is probably very minimal,

0:18:20.040 --> 0:18:23.040
<v Speaker 1>and that's why he isn't really a main player. I

0:18:23.119 --> 0:18:26.800
<v Speaker 1>did do a Google search, well I didn't. Johnny did

0:18:26.840 --> 0:18:32.600
<v Speaker 1>a Google search of Cupid movies, okay, and just shot

0:18:32.680 --> 0:18:36.000
<v Speaker 1>him over to me, Thanks Johnny. And they're bad.

0:18:36.480 --> 0:18:37.600
<v Speaker 2>Oh, let's all look awesome.

0:18:38.640 --> 0:18:42.080
<v Speaker 1>The first one that popped up, it's called Cupid, and

0:18:42.119 --> 0:18:45.240
<v Speaker 1>then the tagline is it'll be a bloody Valentine this year.

0:18:45.280 --> 0:18:47.720
<v Speaker 1>So it's it's a horror movie. The cover of that

0:18:47.760 --> 0:18:50.880
<v Speaker 1>looks like it looks like it's gol that does kind

0:18:50.880 --> 0:18:51.440
<v Speaker 1>of look like him.

0:18:51.480 --> 0:18:52.760
<v Speaker 2>That is a creepy ass Cupid.

0:18:52.920 --> 0:18:55.639
<v Speaker 1>And then you get a series of movies that do

0:18:55.880 --> 0:18:59.600
<v Speaker 1>look like like Hallmark movies, like they're obviously and it

0:18:59.640 --> 0:19:03.040
<v Speaker 1>makes a lot of sense to have the one horror

0:19:03.119 --> 0:19:05.200
<v Speaker 1>movie and then a whole bunch of rom coms. You've

0:19:05.200 --> 0:19:09.720
<v Speaker 1>got your so Cupid, you've got playing Cupid and there's

0:19:09.720 --> 0:19:11.560
<v Speaker 1>a little child in there with the with the man

0:19:11.560 --> 0:19:14.479
<v Speaker 1>and the woman, So the child probably I'm just guessing

0:19:14.840 --> 0:19:18.080
<v Speaker 1>that the child plays Cupid and like brings the relationship together.

0:19:18.320 --> 0:19:23.240
<v Speaker 1>There's one called Cupid's Arrow. There's one called Cube e Cupid,

0:19:23.560 --> 0:19:26.000
<v Speaker 1>and there's two guys laying on each other. I'm going

0:19:26.040 --> 0:19:28.480
<v Speaker 1>to guess that has something to do with like online dating.

0:19:29.200 --> 0:19:31.200
<v Speaker 2>That I had to look twice at that one because

0:19:31.200 --> 0:19:33.359
<v Speaker 2>I was like, geez, that's that dude's already got his

0:19:33.440 --> 0:19:33.960
<v Speaker 2>pants off.

0:19:34.000 --> 0:19:39.240
<v Speaker 1>But yeah, Christmas Cupid. So there's there's the mashup we've

0:19:39.240 --> 0:19:42.680
<v Speaker 1>been waiting for. Gabe the Cupid Dog.

0:19:43.480 --> 0:19:43.680
<v Speaker 2>Wow.

0:19:44.040 --> 0:19:46.600
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, because you have to have a pet like related type.

0:19:46.840 --> 0:19:52.560
<v Speaker 1>Christmas Cupid zero. There's a cartoon. It's called Cupid. There's

0:19:52.600 --> 0:19:55.080
<v Speaker 1>a little cartoon baby kind of looks like the Boss

0:19:55.119 --> 0:19:57.560
<v Speaker 1>Baby and it says love with an attitude. There's also

0:19:57.600 --> 0:20:01.080
<v Speaker 1>a Cupid two. So the Cupid Digital was so good

0:20:01.720 --> 0:20:02.720
<v Speaker 1>we needed the Cupid two.

0:20:02.880 --> 0:20:05.600
<v Speaker 2>So you know, all right, I'm we're looking at these movies.

0:20:05.640 --> 0:20:08.520
<v Speaker 2>I think there's two things that are obviously missing. We

0:20:08.640 --> 0:20:12.160
<v Speaker 2>know that you know, Cupid's got a bow and arrow, yep,

0:20:12.480 --> 0:20:15.000
<v Speaker 2>And obviously this angle hasn't been tried yet, but why

0:20:15.000 --> 0:20:17.840
<v Speaker 2>not make him like a badass like Archer. You know,

0:20:17.880 --> 0:20:20.040
<v Speaker 2>maybe he's like a combination of like Lego Loos and

0:20:20.160 --> 0:20:23.760
<v Speaker 2>like Hawkeye and he's like a a like an assassin.

0:20:24.640 --> 0:20:31.440
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, he's an assassin, and he's you know, maybe somebody,

0:20:31.560 --> 0:20:35.280
<v Speaker 3>maybe somebody that he was going to ask to be his.

0:20:35.359 --> 0:20:37.440
<v Speaker 1>Valentine was kidnapped.

0:20:37.480 --> 0:20:38.840
<v Speaker 2>Oh geez, and.

0:20:38.720 --> 0:20:41.800
<v Speaker 1>Now he's got to go on the hunt to track

0:20:41.880 --> 0:20:47.239
<v Speaker 1>down who kidnapped her so that he can no or

0:20:48.640 --> 0:20:50.880
<v Speaker 1>this is just Cupid. This is Cupid's job. What he

0:20:50.920 --> 0:20:56.600
<v Speaker 1>does is when girls are are kidnapped, then he goes,

0:20:56.800 --> 0:20:59.239
<v Speaker 1>especially around Valentine's Day, that he has to go and

0:20:59.280 --> 0:21:02.639
<v Speaker 1>track him down so that there Valentine has their match.

0:21:03.359 --> 0:21:05.520
<v Speaker 1>Like it's a whole it's all because they get heats hired,

0:21:05.800 --> 0:21:06.639
<v Speaker 1>Cuban gets hired.

0:21:07.160 --> 0:21:11.000
<v Speaker 2>What if there's like.

0:21:09.560 --> 0:21:10.960
<v Speaker 1>Like so dull?

0:21:11.520 --> 0:21:16.840
<v Speaker 2>Does does Cupid have a crew? He's like, oh, like,

0:21:17.160 --> 0:21:19.360
<v Speaker 2>you know, are there other Like well, who is Cupid's

0:21:19.520 --> 0:21:21.840
<v Speaker 2>associated with? Like is he like a Greek? Like is

0:21:21.840 --> 0:21:23.359
<v Speaker 2>he hanging out with Zeus or something?

0:21:23.520 --> 0:21:28.119
<v Speaker 1>Cupid into Zeus? Well, just you know, is he like

0:21:28.160 --> 0:21:29.520
<v Speaker 1>the god of lightning or something?

0:21:29.680 --> 0:21:31.359
<v Speaker 2>Well, yeah, I mean, but he's Greek.

0:21:31.960 --> 0:21:36.600
<v Speaker 1>He's Greek, You're right, which I think I get what

0:21:36.640 --> 0:21:37.159
<v Speaker 1>you're saying.

0:21:37.600 --> 0:21:40.480
<v Speaker 2>Or maybe it's is it possible, maybe Cupid's got like

0:21:40.560 --> 0:21:45.359
<v Speaker 2>a Reverso brother m that shoots people with arrows that

0:21:45.400 --> 0:21:48.639
<v Speaker 2>makes them fall out of love. Oh yeah, and so

0:21:48.760 --> 0:21:53.240
<v Speaker 2>Cupid's got to fight him. Yeah, but also like correct

0:21:53.280 --> 0:21:56.600
<v Speaker 2>the damage that's being done. Like wow, so you can

0:21:56.640 --> 0:22:00.240
<v Speaker 2>almost have like, hey, you got this Cupid versus you know,

0:22:00.680 --> 0:22:04.160
<v Speaker 2>revers So Cupid. And then you've also got a traditional

0:22:04.240 --> 0:22:07.520
<v Speaker 2>rom com going on in the background, because you like

0:22:07.600 --> 0:22:09.680
<v Speaker 2>rom coms. I mean, it's a it's a standard staple

0:22:09.800 --> 0:22:14.880
<v Speaker 2>of like meet cute. There's some sort of misunderstanding. They

0:22:14.920 --> 0:22:18.000
<v Speaker 2>both dig themselves way too deep on the misunderstanding. Yeah,

0:22:18.080 --> 0:22:20.000
<v Speaker 2>then they end up getting it together and they kiss

0:22:20.000 --> 0:22:22.080
<v Speaker 2>at the end. That's that's the movie. I think. You know,

0:22:22.240 --> 0:22:25.800
<v Speaker 2>the laughs aren't even required, The comedy isn't even required.

0:22:25.840 --> 0:22:28.120
<v Speaker 2>That is the rom com formula.

0:22:28.440 --> 0:22:31.480
<v Speaker 1>Honestly, there's not really much comedy from the main characters

0:22:31.560 --> 0:22:34.840
<v Speaker 1>within a rom com. It's generally from a side character

0:22:35.359 --> 0:22:38.520
<v Speaker 1>that brings the comedy to the table, generally a friend

0:22:39.040 --> 0:22:41.600
<v Speaker 1>of the people, usually the guy and the girl both

0:22:41.640 --> 0:22:44.560
<v Speaker 1>have a friend. Those two people are funny, yeah, and

0:22:44.560 --> 0:22:47.040
<v Speaker 1>they're the confidants and they kind of keep the laughs

0:22:47.080 --> 0:22:49.640
<v Speaker 1>coming and they keep their head right, you know, they're

0:22:49.680 --> 0:22:51.160
<v Speaker 1>just kind of like the well.

0:22:51.040 --> 0:22:52.920
<v Speaker 2>They're always the one that's just like, oh you can't

0:22:53.000 --> 0:22:54.840
<v Speaker 2>you know, you can't take that at face value. I mean,

0:22:54.840 --> 0:22:57.240
<v Speaker 2>this is just a misunderstanding. The main character's got to

0:22:57.280 --> 0:23:00.359
<v Speaker 2>be like, who are you get away from me? And

0:23:00.400 --> 0:23:02.720
<v Speaker 2>it's because they got shot by reverso Cupid?

0:23:02.920 --> 0:23:08.240
<v Speaker 1>What if Cupid? We have a movie rom com Cupid

0:23:09.119 --> 0:23:14.439
<v Speaker 1>shoots the wrong person, then tries to correct it, shoots

0:23:14.480 --> 0:23:19.879
<v Speaker 1>a completely different person, and then the two main characters

0:23:20.119 --> 0:23:25.160
<v Speaker 1>become the side friend characters, and then the side characters

0:23:25.160 --> 0:23:28.000
<v Speaker 1>become the main characters because they got shot by the arrows.

0:23:28.920 --> 0:23:33.040
<v Speaker 1>And then the whole movie is about how those two

0:23:33.280 --> 0:23:36.720
<v Speaker 1>although shot with the arrows, are falling in love but

0:23:36.760 --> 0:23:40.720
<v Speaker 1>they're not compatible, but the two side friends are, and

0:23:40.880 --> 0:23:44.080
<v Speaker 1>the whole movie's about making the two side friends actually

0:23:44.119 --> 0:23:47.120
<v Speaker 1>fall for each other despite not getting shot with Cupid's

0:23:47.160 --> 0:23:48.080
<v Speaker 1>arrow What do you think?

0:23:48.359 --> 0:23:51.600
<v Speaker 2>Well, and just think about the lessons that Cupid could learn.

0:23:52.760 --> 0:23:54.840
<v Speaker 2>Oh yeah, Like there's got to be a moral in

0:23:54.880 --> 0:23:58.200
<v Speaker 2>there for Cupid, like, hey, even when you screw up,

0:23:58.400 --> 0:24:00.439
<v Speaker 2>you know, they could be put right.

0:24:00.520 --> 0:24:02.480
<v Speaker 1>They can put it. Yeah, see you just you just

0:24:02.520 --> 0:24:04.480
<v Speaker 1>said the whole trailer like that's the that's on the

0:24:04.520 --> 0:24:06.720
<v Speaker 1>movie poster. What you just said's on the movie poster.

0:24:07.119 --> 0:24:10.680
<v Speaker 1>And Cupid there's like little side because Cupid's not really

0:24:10.800 --> 0:24:13.400
<v Speaker 1>actually in any of the scenes with the main characters,

0:24:13.440 --> 0:24:15.679
<v Speaker 1>but they keep cutting the Cupid trying to figure out

0:24:15.720 --> 0:24:17.600
<v Speaker 1>what's going on because he screwed up big time. Yeah,

0:24:17.640 --> 0:24:19.320
<v Speaker 1>like he's got his own people, he's got to answer

0:24:19.320 --> 0:24:19.520
<v Speaker 1>to you.

0:24:19.400 --> 0:24:22.040
<v Speaker 2>So you're thinking, you're thinking Bateman for Cupid, right, man

0:24:22.080 --> 0:24:22.880
<v Speaker 2>would be perfect?

0:24:23.040 --> 0:24:26.920
<v Speaker 1>Yes, Bateman, buddy, I know you don't listen to the pod,

0:24:27.280 --> 0:24:31.440
<v Speaker 1>but if you are this episode, please we're casting you.

0:24:31.560 --> 0:24:32.440
<v Speaker 1>This is gonna be great.

0:24:32.480 --> 0:24:34.240
<v Speaker 2>But I mean there's got there's gotta be a chance

0:24:34.280 --> 0:24:35.359
<v Speaker 2>for an expanded.

0:24:35.040 --> 0:24:37.640
<v Speaker 1>Universe here, you know, Yeah, this this could be big.

0:24:37.680 --> 0:24:40.480
<v Speaker 2>I mean this, this is the Cupid with Christmas. I mean,

0:24:40.480 --> 0:24:43.160
<v Speaker 2>that's that's half assed. That that's that's too easy. Yeah,

0:24:43.200 --> 0:24:43.919
<v Speaker 2>that's too easy.

0:24:43.960 --> 0:24:46.440
<v Speaker 1>But yes, anything could be a christ I mean if.

0:24:46.520 --> 0:24:50.399
<v Speaker 2>Cupid's doing this and also you know badass archer assassin

0:24:50.880 --> 0:24:54.359
<v Speaker 2>I mean Halloween's and obvious tie in. Yep. Uh, fourth

0:24:54.359 --> 0:24:56.240
<v Speaker 2>of July could be a tie in.

0:24:56.760 --> 0:25:02.000
<v Speaker 1>Fourth of July when Cupid celebrates America. Yeah, yeah, that.

0:25:01.960 --> 0:25:04.080
<v Speaker 2>Could be big. I mean, I mean we invented the

0:25:04.119 --> 0:25:06.080
<v Speaker 2>holiday case mo and case Mo.

0:25:06.440 --> 0:25:09.600
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, that's the thing is this kind of is.

0:25:10.359 --> 0:25:12.400
<v Speaker 2>So maybe it's the you know, the Canadians are trying

0:25:12.400 --> 0:25:15.800
<v Speaker 2>to take over the country and end Valentine's Day.

0:25:15.880 --> 0:25:18.120
<v Speaker 1>You know, it's an American holiday obviously.

0:25:17.840 --> 0:25:19.760
<v Speaker 2>And Cupid's got to go up there and you know

0:25:20.400 --> 0:25:24.119
<v Speaker 2>and force on them.

0:25:24.280 --> 0:25:27.720
<v Speaker 1>So the movies suck. I mean, we've agreed that the

0:25:27.720 --> 0:25:31.479
<v Speaker 1>movies with Cupid sucking. We don't have like the Mage

0:25:31.520 --> 0:25:37.000
<v Speaker 1>movie to say this is the Cupid movie. But on

0:25:37.040 --> 0:25:41.680
<v Speaker 1>the other hand, there's a million songs with love and

0:25:41.720 --> 0:25:45.520
<v Speaker 1>the title that you could, you know, at Valentine's Day

0:30:40.760 --> 0:30:43.440

<v Speaker 2>just a couple of songs away.

0:30:44.640 --> 0:30:47.160
<v Speaker 1>Oh speaking to three degrees. So you know the the

0:30:47.240 --> 0:30:50.040
<v Speaker 1>game like seven Degrees or six degrees at Kevin Bacon

0:30:50.080 --> 0:30:55.520
<v Speaker 1>or whatever. We like taught that game like to the kids, like,

0:30:55.560 --> 0:30:58.800
<v Speaker 1>hey there's this thing. It's like crazy real and uh,

0:30:58.920 --> 0:31:01.040
<v Speaker 1>we're just kind of explained the Kevin Bacon thing and

0:31:01.040 --> 0:31:03.320
<v Speaker 1>they're like, no, that's dumb, Like that's just not even possible.

0:31:03.640 --> 0:31:08.760
<v Speaker 1>So then we're taking like even young stars that would

0:31:08.840 --> 0:31:11.440
<v Speaker 1>have nothing to do with Kevin Bacon in you know, today,

0:31:11.440 --> 0:31:15.080
<v Speaker 1>there's new people right now we could trace back to

0:31:15.160 --> 0:31:17.600
<v Speaker 1>him within even a couple of steps. Now, it's if anything,

0:31:17.640 --> 0:31:21.400
<v Speaker 1>it's it's made it easier. And uh, minds were blown

0:31:21.640 --> 0:31:25.400
<v Speaker 1>that day. I mean they just could not gather.

0:31:25.200 --> 0:31:28.520
<v Speaker 2>The most mind blown in a positive direction. Or was

0:31:28.560 --> 0:31:31.680
<v Speaker 2>this more of just like what why? What? What's wrong

0:31:31.720 --> 0:31:32.240
<v Speaker 2>with you people?

0:31:32.320 --> 0:31:35.320
<v Speaker 1>I think a lot of it was like how why him?

0:31:35.680 --> 0:31:40.160
<v Speaker 1>How is this possible? And uh, like who who found

0:31:40.200 --> 0:31:42.760
<v Speaker 1>out about this? Like just the research and the like

0:31:42.800 --> 0:31:46.600
<v Speaker 1>the wanting to know of about the Kevin Bacon thing.

0:31:46.800 --> 0:31:47.160
<v Speaker 2>It was.

0:31:47.280 --> 0:31:49.440
<v Speaker 1>It was wild, but it's so true. I mean, you

0:31:49.440 --> 0:31:53.280
<v Speaker 1>can literally find anybody you could. We traced me back

0:31:53.320 --> 0:31:56.600
<v Speaker 1>to Kevin Bacon within like four steps, Like it was

0:31:57.000 --> 0:31:58.160
<v Speaker 1>insanely easy to do.

0:31:58.760 --> 0:32:01.600
<v Speaker 2>Uh yeah, that's what I don't remember exactly, but I

0:32:01.640 --> 0:32:03.760
<v Speaker 2>remember there's a couple of those different touch points where

0:32:03.760 --> 0:32:06.000
<v Speaker 2>it was just like there were so many people or

0:32:06.080 --> 0:32:08.240
<v Speaker 2>so many things that intersected with him at this point

0:32:08.680 --> 0:32:10.480
<v Speaker 2>that it was just a matter of how do you get.

0:32:10.440 --> 0:32:13.080
<v Speaker 1>How do you get there? Yeah, but it actually ended

0:32:13.160 --> 0:32:16.920
<v Speaker 1>up being fairly easy to get to pretty much anybody. Yeah,

0:32:16.960 --> 0:32:17.480
<v Speaker 1>it's wild.

0:32:18.120 --> 0:32:20.200
<v Speaker 2>What kind of songs about love do you like?

0:32:20.440 --> 0:32:24.320
<v Speaker 1>I'm a big Lately love story Taylor's version. Obviously, I'm

0:32:24.360 --> 0:32:28.120
<v Speaker 1>supporting the new version and not the original because love

0:32:28.200 --> 0:32:28.880
<v Speaker 1>that we know why?

0:32:28.960 --> 0:32:29.160
<v Speaker 2>Right?

0:32:30.240 --> 0:32:35.480
<v Speaker 1>That's obviously to swift love Shack B fifty two's classic.

0:32:36.200 --> 0:32:37.880
<v Speaker 1>Did you know that B fifty two is performed on

0:32:38.040 --> 0:32:38.960
<v Speaker 1>Saturday Night Live?

0:32:40.640 --> 0:32:41.840
<v Speaker 2>I hope they didn't play that song.

0:32:42.000 --> 0:32:45.000
<v Speaker 1>He did play that song. But what's wrong with love Shack?

0:32:46.160 --> 0:32:48.360
<v Speaker 1>It's like the Monster mash It's like you have to

0:32:48.400 --> 0:32:51.680
<v Speaker 1>listen to Monster Masher on Halloween. You gotta listen to

0:32:51.720 --> 0:32:52.200
<v Speaker 1>love Shack.

0:32:52.320 --> 0:32:54.520
<v Speaker 2>This is this is very uncomfortable because you know, I believe,

0:32:54.560 --> 0:32:58.480
<v Speaker 2>I mean, love what you want to love. But love

0:32:58.520 --> 0:32:59.720
<v Speaker 2>Shack is not a good.

0:32:59.640 --> 0:33:06.040
<v Speaker 1>Love like love Shocks of classic California Love Tupac, Doctor Dre,

0:33:07.520 --> 0:33:09.240
<v Speaker 1>How do you feel about California Love?

0:33:09.480 --> 0:33:14.480
<v Speaker 2>I mean I could probably wrap it right now. I've

0:33:14.520 --> 0:33:17.680
<v Speaker 2>heard that song many many times in my life.

0:33:17.760 --> 0:33:22.640
<v Speaker 1>Absolute classic. You know, we were talking about like things

0:33:22.720 --> 0:33:25.479
<v Speaker 1>that you know, we're tied in people now. It's like

0:33:25.480 --> 0:33:30.520
<v Speaker 1>like I briefly brought up President's Day and Uh, like

0:33:31.040 --> 0:33:34.520
<v Speaker 1>mattress sales. Like, there's just things you have to do

0:33:34.640 --> 0:33:36.680
<v Speaker 1>for certain holidays, right, that seems to me one of them.

0:33:36.720 --> 0:33:38.640
<v Speaker 1>If you run a mattress or a furniture store, you're

0:33:38.680 --> 0:33:40.080
<v Speaker 1>running a sale on President's Day.

0:33:40.520 --> 0:33:40.640
<v Speaker 2>Uh.

0:33:41.560 --> 0:33:44.720
<v Speaker 1>I don't understand why, but everybody does it. Well at

0:33:44.800 --> 0:33:47.120
<v Speaker 1>Valentine's Day, you gotta have heart shaped things.

0:33:47.320 --> 0:33:47.440
<v Speaker 2>Now.

0:33:47.640 --> 0:33:51.640
<v Speaker 1>Chick fil A right now has heart shaped biscuits.

0:33:52.160 --> 0:33:57.560
<v Speaker 2>Oh yeah, so that just means the chickens just hanging

0:33:57.560 --> 0:33:58.400
<v Speaker 2>out on one side.

0:33:59.080 --> 0:34:01.480
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, well yeah, so the chicken. Yeah, but do you

0:34:01.520 --> 0:34:04.480
<v Speaker 1>not like that? Do you like the equal biscuit to chicken? Oh?

0:34:04.560 --> 0:34:06.080
<v Speaker 2>Yea the right ratio.

0:34:06.480 --> 0:34:08.440
<v Speaker 1>I don't mind it. It's kind of like eating a tenderloin,

0:34:08.480 --> 0:34:11.000
<v Speaker 1>like you want it just hanging off that bitch.

0:34:12.040 --> 0:34:14.440
<v Speaker 2>What are you a spicy or a regular?

0:34:14.600 --> 0:34:18.080
<v Speaker 1>I can do spicy. Yeah. Actually, I have become a

0:34:18.120 --> 0:34:22.520
<v Speaker 1>fan of the flavor of spicy. I have become somebody

0:34:22.520 --> 0:34:27.440
<v Speaker 1>who absolutely dreads the next morning after a spicy. But

0:34:27.520 --> 0:34:31.240
<v Speaker 1>I do very much enjoy the flavor of a spicy.

0:34:31.400 --> 0:34:32.959
<v Speaker 2>I mean, it's worth it. It's worth it.

0:34:33.080 --> 0:34:36.040
<v Speaker 1>I like to think it is. When I'm eating it.

0:34:36.160 --> 0:34:37.920
<v Speaker 1>I love it, and I'm like, this is worth it,

0:34:37.960 --> 0:34:40.239
<v Speaker 1>This is gonna be okay the next day. Sometimes even

0:34:40.280 --> 0:34:44.239
<v Speaker 1>that very night, I do not wish I would have

0:34:44.280 --> 0:34:46.880
<v Speaker 1>made the choice to eat it.

0:34:47.239 --> 0:34:49.000
<v Speaker 2>And then you know you're getting older, you give it

0:34:49.000 --> 0:34:51.000
<v Speaker 2>a give it about thirty six hours and you're just like,

0:34:51.719 --> 0:34:52.920
<v Speaker 2>go for a spicy.

0:34:54.239 --> 0:34:56.560
<v Speaker 1>Yeah why not? No? I do, I do enjoy a spicy.

0:34:56.560 --> 0:34:58.239
<v Speaker 1>How about you? Do you go with the regular? You're

0:34:58.239 --> 0:34:58.759
<v Speaker 1>going with the.

0:34:58.800 --> 0:35:01.279

<v Speaker 1>that are fast Would you call it fast food?

0:35:12.040 --> 0:35:12.239
<v Speaker 2>Yes?

0:35:12.440 --> 0:35:15.400
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, they're a fast food chicken place that is sponsoring

0:35:15.520 --> 0:35:19.880
<v Speaker 1>the pod specifically on Sunday. So if you're listening to

0:35:20.040 --> 0:35:23.759
<v Speaker 1>the episode on a Sunday, your sponsor is Chick fil A.

0:35:24.000 --> 0:35:26.400
<v Speaker 2>I mean, it's fast food, but sometimes it takes a

0:35:26.400 --> 0:35:29.520
<v Speaker 2>while to get to the the ordering window or to

0:35:29.600 --> 0:35:30.040
<v Speaker 2>the counter.

0:35:30.520 --> 0:35:32.960
<v Speaker 1>No, they're super fast. You think it takes a.

0:35:32.880 --> 0:35:35.759
<v Speaker 2>While, I guess maybe maybe I'm thinking more towards like

0:35:35.800 --> 0:35:37.520
<v Speaker 2>the COVID stuff, when you you'd have the like the

0:35:37.640 --> 0:35:39.640
<v Speaker 2>triple loop around the store type of deal.

0:35:39.719 --> 0:35:42.600
<v Speaker 1>Oh they still do that, but they're ability to have

0:35:42.760 --> 0:35:46.880
<v Speaker 1>multiple people working in they're very organized. Those they're and

0:35:46.920 --> 0:35:50.239
<v Speaker 1>they've like it's kinda I hate to say they're like

0:35:50.239 --> 0:35:56.120
<v Speaker 1>a cult because knowing you know, they're things that their

0:35:56.200 --> 0:35:58.719
<v Speaker 1>leaders believe in, but it's like they're kind of cultish

0:35:59.080 --> 0:36:04.440
<v Speaker 1>in their training. They are hardcore in the regimen from

0:36:04.600 --> 0:36:06.600
<v Speaker 1>the beginning to end of their service, and it makes

0:36:06.640 --> 0:36:10.279
<v Speaker 1>them very very good. But it's nuts that they can

0:36:10.320 --> 0:36:13.840
<v Speaker 1>be that good and dedicated to the crafty's.

0:36:14.239 --> 0:36:17.560
<v Speaker 2>It's impressive everything from you know posture to just you

0:36:17.600 --> 0:36:21.440
<v Speaker 2>know courtesy. Yeah, like that that stuff.

0:36:21.520 --> 0:36:24.040
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, they're one hundred and it's like, okay, you can

0:36:24.120 --> 0:36:27.319
<v Speaker 1>train you know, the best of the best. They're like

0:36:27.440 --> 0:36:32.799
<v Speaker 1>a is it Hilton. There's a hotel that their level

0:36:32.840 --> 0:36:38.720
<v Speaker 1>of service is like barn On above anything anybody anywhere else.

0:36:38.920 --> 0:36:41.200
<v Speaker 1>I dive Portly talks about it. He was just like this,

0:36:41.200 --> 0:36:44.839
<v Speaker 1>this this place is like the peak level, high end

0:36:44.880 --> 0:36:48.360
<v Speaker 1>service of hotels. But it's like then you get like

0:36:49.680 --> 0:36:52.960
<v Speaker 1>another hotel chain that has like a training program as well.

0:36:53.480 --> 0:36:56.120
<v Speaker 1>They also say you're gonna have elite service, but you know,

0:36:56.200 --> 0:36:59.080
<v Speaker 1>it's not like you know, they're kinda kind of lazy

0:36:59.120 --> 0:37:01.440
<v Speaker 1>with it. I mean you see it everywhere businesses. You

0:37:01.480 --> 0:37:04.440
<v Speaker 1>go to hatch your fla. Whatever they're doing, they're doing

0:37:04.440 --> 0:37:04.839
<v Speaker 1>it right.

0:37:04.960 --> 0:37:06.960
<v Speaker 2>And it's kind of funny because there's another chicken place

0:37:07.600 --> 0:37:11.240
<v Speaker 2>based out of Louisiana, and I've just come to realize

0:37:11.280 --> 0:37:15.239
<v Speaker 2>that I will never get good service there Popeyes. Yes, yeah,

0:37:15.400 --> 0:37:18.080
<v Speaker 2>I was just gonna sayt which one I've got? Like

0:37:18.120 --> 0:37:20.600
<v Speaker 2>the food's great, Yeah, the food is really really good,

0:37:20.640 --> 0:37:23.560
<v Speaker 2>but I just know that they're going to have like

0:37:24.080 --> 0:37:25.960
<v Speaker 2>a tenth of the people in there and it's going

0:37:26.000 --> 0:37:28.520
<v Speaker 2>to take me about three times longer to get my food.

0:37:28.680 --> 0:37:31.120
<v Speaker 1>But you know, you just got to live with it, apparently,

0:37:31.200 --> 0:37:33.200
<v Speaker 1>if you got to have the blood oath that those

0:37:33.239 --> 0:37:36.279
<v Speaker 1>folks that have to get that from them.

0:37:41.800 --> 0:37:45.960
<v Speaker 2>This poem is called Conqueror's Heart. It's written from the

0:37:46.000 --> 0:37:52.520
<v Speaker 2>perspective of Napoleon Bonaparte. I'm tall, the tallest Frenchman, proud,

0:37:53.040 --> 0:37:57.800
<v Speaker 2>but in your love I stand unbowed like Neapolitan ice cream,

0:37:57.800 --> 0:38:01.600
<v Speaker 2>bold and sweet. Your love lifts me off my feet

0:38:02.320 --> 0:38:05.960
<v Speaker 2>like water slides, wild and free. Together we conquer just

0:38:06.080 --> 0:38:09.800
<v Speaker 2>you and me. Ridley Scott's a hack, a fool at best.

0:38:10.280 --> 0:38:13.919
<v Speaker 2>His vision of me just a failed test. And no,

0:38:14.280 --> 0:38:18.759
<v Speaker 2>I'm no Napoleon Dynamite. I'm the true conqueror in history's light.

0:38:19.239 --> 0:38:22.320
<v Speaker 2>Your love is my victory, pure and true, a crown

0:38:22.360 --> 0:38:29.400
<v Speaker 2>I wear all for you, Oh.

0:38:29.360 --> 0:38:34.839
<v Speaker 1>Man, Valentine's Day. It's all about love. Things that you love, God,

0:38:34.920 --> 0:38:37.880
<v Speaker 1>things you love, just in genuine life.

0:38:38.040 --> 0:38:40.719
<v Speaker 2>Why are we you hit me with a lot of

0:38:40.760 --> 0:38:41.279
<v Speaker 2>questions here?

0:38:41.320 --> 0:38:42.759
<v Speaker 1>Oh all right, I'll tell you. I'll tell you something

0:38:42.760 --> 0:38:48.839
<v Speaker 1>that I love. I'll start with I absolutely love when

0:38:49.400 --> 0:38:52.239
<v Speaker 1>I make eye contact with somebody and I say hi

0:38:52.360 --> 0:38:57.160
<v Speaker 1>to them and even flash a smile, and they dart

0:38:57.200 --> 0:38:59.960
<v Speaker 1>their eyes away, walk directly past me and don't even

0:39:00.080 --> 0:39:00.840
<v Speaker 1>say freaking.

0:39:00.640 --> 0:39:02.560
<v Speaker 2>Word that that happens to you.

0:39:02.560 --> 0:39:05.960
<v Speaker 1>A lot fucking love that, oh, very often.

0:39:06.680 --> 0:39:08.399
<v Speaker 2>Like when you're in the store type of thing.

0:39:08.680 --> 0:39:11.359
<v Speaker 1>When I'm at work, when I'm in the store, when

0:39:11.400 --> 0:39:15.240
<v Speaker 1>I'm just out in public, when I'm walking around my house.

0:39:15.440 --> 0:39:19.319
<v Speaker 1>There's just there's places everywhere I go it's like I

0:39:19.360 --> 0:39:23.680
<v Speaker 1>can't be seen and they just eye contact. We have.

0:39:24.480 --> 0:39:30.279
<v Speaker 1>Eye contact is a very like intentional, like piece of

0:39:31.560 --> 0:39:33.719
<v Speaker 1>intimacy almost you know, It's it's like it's it's a

0:39:33.760 --> 0:39:36.319
<v Speaker 1>strong connection. If I look you in the eye and

0:39:36.320 --> 0:39:41.319
<v Speaker 1>I say hi, and you dart away and then have

0:39:41.400 --> 0:39:44.040
<v Speaker 1>the nerve to walk right past me still like almost

0:39:44.080 --> 0:39:48.279
<v Speaker 1>shoulder you know, brushing shoulders, Like at least go the

0:39:48.320 --> 0:39:49.800
<v Speaker 1>other way.

0:39:50.680 --> 0:39:51.680
<v Speaker 2>Around. Why not?

0:39:52.320 --> 0:39:56.799
<v Speaker 1>I'd almost rather I'd rather them go all the way

0:39:56.840 --> 0:40:00.640
<v Speaker 1>in and just be like I refuse, I refuse acknowledge

0:40:00.640 --> 0:40:03.840
<v Speaker 1>you even around you. Instead they walk why buy me,

0:40:05.480 --> 0:40:08.359
<v Speaker 1>that's just go all in if you're gonna ignore me.

0:40:08.640 --> 0:40:12.280
<v Speaker 2>That's many decades ago, I thought that the word howdy

0:40:12.880 --> 0:40:16.800
<v Speaker 2>was funny, so instead of saying hi, I just started

0:40:16.800 --> 0:40:20.319
<v Speaker 2>saying howdy. I don't have any you know, I don't

0:40:20.360 --> 0:40:21.880
<v Speaker 2>own a pair of cowboy boots, I don't have a

0:40:21.880 --> 0:40:24.640
<v Speaker 2>cowboy hat, I don't like country music. But to this

0:40:24.800 --> 0:40:27.879
<v Speaker 2>day I say howdy about eighty percent of the time

0:40:27.880 --> 0:40:30.680
<v Speaker 2>when I say hi to people. So I guess I

0:40:30.680 --> 0:40:34.080
<v Speaker 2>always just took that iad version and the running away

0:40:34.160 --> 0:40:36.960
<v Speaker 2>to just be like, oh well, because you said yeah,

0:40:36.960 --> 0:40:41.000
<v Speaker 2>they're like overwhelmed, like they don't know how to react

0:40:41.040 --> 0:40:41.239
<v Speaker 2>to that.

0:40:42.520 --> 0:40:46.040
<v Speaker 1>I believe you should continue to say howdy, but now

0:40:46.120 --> 0:40:48.239
<v Speaker 1>start dressing like Woody.

0:40:47.880 --> 0:40:50.560
<v Speaker 2>From Toy Story. I thought you were maybe gonna say

0:40:50.640 --> 0:40:54.840
<v Speaker 2>add the howdie partner at let's start some conjunctions on

0:40:54.880 --> 0:40:55.360
<v Speaker 2>the back.

0:40:55.160 --> 0:41:00.200
<v Speaker 1>Of this partner. Yeah, I mean, if you're gonna you're

0:41:00.239 --> 0:41:02.319
<v Speaker 1>going to completely put yourself in the bit, you might

0:41:02.360 --> 0:41:03.359
<v Speaker 1>as well dress the part.

0:41:03.480 --> 0:41:07.080
<v Speaker 2>But I'm getting getting ready to going on a trip

0:41:07.120 --> 0:41:10.160
<v Speaker 2>to Europe, so of course, you know, you kind of

0:41:10.160 --> 0:41:13.000
<v Speaker 2>peruse like, hey, the local norms customs. You know, you

0:41:13.040 --> 0:41:16.440
<v Speaker 2>look at Reddit for articles that are entitled, hey, how

0:41:16.440 --> 0:41:18.279
<v Speaker 2>do you tell like an American? How do you how

0:41:18.280 --> 0:41:21.160
<v Speaker 2>do you tell that Americans over here? And one of

0:41:21.200 --> 0:41:25.520
<v Speaker 2>the biggest tells that Europeans call out is making eye

0:41:25.560 --> 0:41:30.160
<v Speaker 2>contact with people you don't know, saying hi, smiling at them,

0:41:30.280 --> 0:41:32.319
<v Speaker 2>all this kind of stuff. It's just not done over there.

0:41:32.400 --> 0:41:34.600
<v Speaker 1>That can't be real. Yeah, you're not a real you know.

0:41:34.520 --> 0:41:36.719
<v Speaker 2>You don't You don't do the acknowledgment that that's a

0:41:36.880 --> 0:41:38.000
<v Speaker 2>very American thing.

0:41:40.320 --> 0:41:45.640
<v Speaker 1>So you're telling me I have put myself in a

0:41:45.719 --> 0:41:52.600
<v Speaker 1>position of like completely throwing off anybody not American in

0:41:52.680 --> 0:41:55.520
<v Speaker 1>my entire life, you know, just by simply saying hi

0:41:55.600 --> 0:41:59.040
<v Speaker 1>and have an eye contact. I had no idea, Like,

0:41:59.080 --> 0:42:01.080
<v Speaker 1>my my world is lily blown right now, Like I

0:42:01.120 --> 0:42:01.800
<v Speaker 1>had no idea.

0:42:01.960 --> 0:42:05.400
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, they're just the casual friendliness to strangers is not

0:42:05.520 --> 0:42:07.319
<v Speaker 2>a thing in most countries. MM.

0:42:09.560 --> 0:42:11.480
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, you're making me rethink a lot, like maybe I

0:42:11.600 --> 0:42:12.879
<v Speaker 1>just need to back off a little bit.

0:42:13.320 --> 0:42:16.480
<v Speaker 2>That's ah. It makes me remember a story that I

0:42:16.719 --> 0:42:19.520
<v Speaker 2>had heard from somebody that was a I think they

0:42:19.520 --> 0:42:23.160
<v Speaker 2>were a professor over there for like a semester, and

0:42:23.800 --> 0:42:26.000
<v Speaker 2>they had gone over to a colleague's house for dinner.

0:42:26.000 --> 0:42:27.759
<v Speaker 2>They had done the dinner, and when they were leaving,

0:42:27.800 --> 0:42:30.000
<v Speaker 2>you know it's just like, Okay, well this was great,

0:42:30.040 --> 0:42:31.760
<v Speaker 2>you don't have to do it. Do it again sometime,

0:42:32.040 --> 0:42:37.680
<v Speaker 2>you know, we'll see you later. And the guy got

0:42:37.680 --> 0:42:40.680
<v Speaker 2>approached the next day at work from the person that

0:42:40.719 --> 0:42:43.400
<v Speaker 2>invited him over there and was just like, hey, you know,

0:42:43.480 --> 0:42:45.520
<v Speaker 2>we did have a good time, but you know we can't.

0:42:45.560 --> 0:42:47.320
<v Speaker 2>We're not gonna be able to do this again next week.

0:42:49.320 --> 0:42:51.600
<v Speaker 2>And so you know, the guy had to explain like, no, no,

0:42:51.640 --> 0:42:53.879
<v Speaker 2>I didn't you know, I wasn't making a commitment. But

0:42:53.960 --> 0:42:56.359
<v Speaker 2>the guy was concerned that you just thought that, Hey,

0:42:56.400 --> 0:42:59.160
<v Speaker 2>I just show up the same same day, same time,

0:42:59.640 --> 0:43:01.960
<v Speaker 2>you guys, make me dinner again, like you know, we'll

0:43:02.000 --> 0:43:04.439
<v Speaker 2>see you later, Like no, no, no, no, we can't spend

0:43:04.440 --> 0:43:09.080
<v Speaker 2>that much time with you. They took it very literally. Wow.

0:43:09.200 --> 0:43:11.760
<v Speaker 1>It's kind of the premise of the new Tim Robinson

0:43:11.760 --> 0:43:14.520
<v Speaker 1>Paul redmovie That's good. You watch the trailer for that.

0:43:15.040 --> 0:43:17.080
<v Speaker 1>It's kind of the same thing where he's just like, hey, yeah,

0:43:17.080 --> 0:43:19.399
<v Speaker 1>we had a couple of good hangs, but we got

0:43:19.440 --> 0:43:20.879
<v Speaker 1>to kind of I mean, we're not doing this again.

0:43:21.920 --> 0:43:27.120
<v Speaker 1>That's funny. Man. You just don't know, like this is

0:43:29.600 --> 0:43:32.799
<v Speaker 1>people know and how they live and their cultures, and

0:43:32.840 --> 0:43:35.960
<v Speaker 1>you just kind of live your life and you you

0:43:36.120 --> 0:43:40.400
<v Speaker 1>just don't know how other people perceive the things you're saying.

0:43:40.600 --> 0:43:44.319
<v Speaker 1>I had no clue that me saying hi smiling to

0:43:44.360 --> 0:43:49.160
<v Speaker 1>people that come from other places would be like yeah,

0:43:49.239 --> 0:43:53.160

0:44:38.200 --> 0:44:40.279
<v Speaker 1>that's a feeling that you don't get very often. But

0:44:40.320 --> 0:44:42.680
<v Speaker 1>when you do, it's like I'm living right now. Yeah,

0:44:42.840 --> 0:44:47.000
<v Speaker 1>Like I am living. And then go home, take the

0:44:47.080 --> 0:44:51.800
<v Speaker 1>shoes off. You got them wet, soaked. Sometimes they get discolored,

0:44:51.800 --> 0:44:53.440
<v Speaker 1>you know, from the shoe and stuff, and when they

0:44:53.440 --> 0:44:56.160
<v Speaker 1>get wet, it's pretty incredible.

0:44:55.760 --> 0:44:57.360
<v Speaker 2>Don't Don't you love that too, because it's like, you know,

0:44:57.360 --> 0:44:59.000
<v Speaker 2>you take them off in your entryway because obviously you

0:44:59.040 --> 0:45:02.239
<v Speaker 2>don't want to get your your whole house messy, and

0:45:02.280 --> 0:45:04.719
<v Speaker 2>so you can see the footprints, the wet footprints from

0:45:04.719 --> 0:45:07.400
<v Speaker 2>your shoes. Yep, you take the shoes off, and then

0:45:07.440 --> 0:45:10.719
<v Speaker 2>you leave wet footprints of the sock or the bare.

0:45:10.520 --> 0:45:13.000
<v Speaker 1>Foot of the sock. But then if you take and

0:45:13.000 --> 0:45:15.400
<v Speaker 1>then you have to peel the sock off, right and

0:45:15.440 --> 0:45:18.160
<v Speaker 1>it gets heavy, you know, it's like soaked and then

0:45:18.280 --> 0:45:22.719
<v Speaker 1>your foot is like this cold like it's it's kind

0:45:22.719 --> 0:45:25.160
<v Speaker 1>of it's not wet anymore. Yeah, but it's got that

0:45:25.280 --> 0:45:26.879
<v Speaker 1>kind of damp cold to it.

0:45:27.000 --> 0:45:28.879
<v Speaker 2>Oh yeah, it looks like it looks like it's been

0:45:28.880 --> 0:45:30.200
<v Speaker 2>in like the bathtub for too long.

0:45:30.400 --> 0:45:33.480
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, it's kind of got that wrinkle, it's got that

0:45:33.520 --> 0:45:37.319
<v Speaker 1>wring going. It's it's different and it's not something that

0:45:37.400 --> 0:45:42.200
<v Speaker 1>you experience every day, but it's something that when it happens,

0:45:42.480 --> 0:45:47.640
<v Speaker 1>oh you love it. That's love a good wet sock.

0:45:47.760 --> 0:45:51.280
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, you know, something I didn't even think about today.

0:45:51.320 --> 0:45:54.520
<v Speaker 2>I mean, it was so cold outside. It was snowing

0:45:54.560 --> 0:45:58.480
<v Speaker 2>here outside, but snow it's it's too cold to melt,

0:45:58.880 --> 0:46:01.719
<v Speaker 2>so no opportunity to get away sock. But what I

0:46:01.760 --> 0:46:03.360
<v Speaker 2>love is when you get some snow on the ground

0:46:03.400 --> 0:46:05.960
<v Speaker 2>here and you're driving along the snow on the roads

0:46:05.960 --> 0:46:07.719
<v Speaker 2>and everything, and you get those guys that are just

0:46:07.800 --> 0:46:10.600
<v Speaker 2>going like way too fast for conditions. Oh yeah, and

0:46:10.640 --> 0:46:13.680
<v Speaker 2>they just like blaze past you. Well they're so yeah,

0:46:13.719 --> 0:46:17.520
<v Speaker 2>you're you're going you know, forty in the sixty mile zone, yeah,

0:46:17.520 --> 0:46:19.360
<v Speaker 2>and these guys are going like seventy.

0:46:19.680 --> 0:46:23.680
<v Speaker 1>Yeah they're But those people, it's like when that happens,

0:46:23.920 --> 0:46:27.640
<v Speaker 1>I don't even fear for myself, you know, on the

0:46:27.719 --> 0:46:33.080
<v Speaker 1>road dangerous conditions. I don't feel unsafe. I think I'm

0:46:33.080 --> 0:46:35.400
<v Speaker 1>not a good enough driver that guy yet, is it. No,

0:46:35.680 --> 0:46:36.879
<v Speaker 1>that's kind of where my FLDS at.

0:46:37.000 --> 0:46:39.080
<v Speaker 2>And I mean both of us, we've had correct division.

0:46:39.120 --> 0:46:41.400
<v Speaker 2>You know, you've got the glasses, you know, contacts, that

0:46:41.440 --> 0:46:43.280
<v Speaker 2>type of stuff. You know, I had to get laser

0:46:43.320 --> 0:46:44.720
<v Speaker 2>eyes to correct mind.

0:46:44.840 --> 0:46:46.880
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, just care about those you don't shoot anybody.

0:46:47.040 --> 0:46:50.600
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, but uh, like I still feel like I need

0:46:50.600 --> 0:46:54.080
<v Speaker 2>some work because I'm having trouble picking out the lane

0:46:54.120 --> 0:46:57.440
<v Speaker 2>in the road. But those guys they know, they know,

0:46:57.719 --> 0:46:59.680
<v Speaker 2>but they know exactly where they're supposed to be, and

0:46:59.719 --> 0:47:02.200
<v Speaker 2>so I have to correct myself based on them. Right.

0:47:02.560 --> 0:47:06.480
<v Speaker 1>They're like they're they're the epitome of the back to

0:47:06.520 --> 0:47:09.160
<v Speaker 1>the future line. You know, where we're going, we don't

0:47:09.200 --> 0:47:14.000
<v Speaker 1>need roads. They just kind of fly over the roads themselves,

0:47:14.120 --> 0:47:17.799
<v Speaker 1>over the lanes, through the snow, the ice, the slush.

0:47:18.200 --> 0:47:21.719
<v Speaker 1>They know where they're heading. Yeah, okay, they are. They're

0:47:21.760 --> 0:47:26.640
<v Speaker 1>the driven people that have goals. They hit goals and

0:47:26.680 --> 0:47:28.080
<v Speaker 1>then they make even harder goals.

0:47:28.080 --> 0:47:31.920
<v Speaker 2>Well, you know, this whole episode is about love. What

0:47:32.200 --> 0:47:36.200
<v Speaker 2>if those people driving so fast are pursuing, you know,

0:47:36.640 --> 0:47:37.640
<v Speaker 2>a separated love.

0:47:38.160 --> 0:47:41.200
<v Speaker 1>Well, it kind of makes sense. Valentine's always falls in

0:47:41.280 --> 0:47:41.840
<v Speaker 1>the winter.

0:47:41.920 --> 0:47:45.120
<v Speaker 2>You know, because we're looking at the road, right, But

0:47:45.160 --> 0:47:47.600
<v Speaker 2>for all we know, Cupid could be flying ahead of

0:47:47.600 --> 0:47:49.359
<v Speaker 2>that car, Yeah, guiding them on their.

0:47:49.239 --> 0:47:52.080
<v Speaker 1>Way, guiding them. Oh, I didn't even think about that.

0:47:52.080 --> 0:47:54.520
<v Speaker 2>That's that's the climax of the movie, right, yep. That's

0:47:54.520 --> 0:47:55.200
<v Speaker 2>got to be the climate.

0:47:55.320 --> 0:47:59.360
<v Speaker 1>They are getting weaved and pulled through life to get

0:47:59.480 --> 0:48:02.480
<v Speaker 1>to the old some destination, which is their loved one

0:48:02.560 --> 0:48:05.680
<v Speaker 1>who's leaving on an airplane, and they've got to catch

0:48:05.760 --> 0:48:08.880
<v Speaker 1>them before they board the plane because if they were

0:48:08.880 --> 0:48:11.120
<v Speaker 1>to board the plane, they'll never see them again.

0:48:11.160 --> 0:48:11.600
<v Speaker 2>We know this.

0:48:11.680 --> 0:48:14.520
<v Speaker 1>You can't just get on a fight and follow them

0:48:14.640 --> 0:48:17.960
<v Speaker 1>or drive and fly, you know, follow them. This is it.

0:48:18.440 --> 0:48:19.959
<v Speaker 1>If they get on that plane, it's over.

0:48:20.280 --> 0:48:20.560
<v Speaker 2>Yep.

0:48:22.360 --> 0:48:25.480
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I never thought about that. Now, when I'm driving,

0:48:25.840 --> 0:48:29.560
<v Speaker 1>you know, snowy conditions, bad weather, and somebody's flying through,

0:48:29.680 --> 0:48:32.480
<v Speaker 1>I'm not only gonna think God, wish I could do that.

0:48:32.680 --> 0:48:37.440
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna be thinking somebody found love. Yeah, that's incredible.

0:48:37.680 --> 0:48:39.960
<v Speaker 2>We got to get Johnny get Bateman on the phone.

0:48:40.000 --> 0:48:42.600
<v Speaker 1>Get Bateman's perfect for these movies.

0:48:42.719 --> 0:48:45.440
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I'm thinking. I'm thinking you can play Cupid and

0:48:45.480 --> 0:48:47.040
<v Speaker 2>the main lead both.

0:48:47.200 --> 0:48:54.320
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, actually genius, genius, he plays both, but they both

0:48:54.600 --> 0:48:57.080
<v Speaker 1>act different? Well, can Bateman play a different way?

0:48:57.080 --> 0:48:59.680
<v Speaker 2>Oh, he's got range range.

0:49:00.719 --> 0:49:03.440
<v Speaker 1>Baby seems like a guy, this is who he is.

0:49:03.480 --> 0:49:06.719
<v Speaker 2>Well, I mean you'd have you'd have arrested development Bateman. Yeah,

0:49:06.800 --> 0:49:09.080
<v Speaker 2>who would be the Cupid obviously, because he's kind of

0:49:09.080 --> 0:49:10.360
<v Speaker 2>a bumbling.

0:49:09.920 --> 0:49:11.560
<v Speaker 1>Guy, kind of bumbling it and then you get.

0:49:11.440 --> 0:49:13.120
<v Speaker 2>Like Ozark Bateman that oh.

0:49:13.040 --> 0:49:16.719
<v Speaker 1>True, he's a little more conniving, little serious. Okay, all right,

0:49:16.840 --> 0:49:18.239
<v Speaker 1>little more Yeah, I get it.

0:49:18.840 --> 0:49:22.839
<v Speaker 2>Character that you can really root for, root for. Yeah,

0:49:22.920 --> 0:49:24.680
<v Speaker 2>you know, you gotta really for us.

0:49:24.719 --> 0:49:27.520
<v Speaker 1>I've never played a character you root for, that's for

0:49:27.640 --> 0:49:30.680
<v Speaker 1>damn sure. He's a character you enjoy watching. He's a

0:49:30.760 --> 0:49:33.880
<v Speaker 1>character that when he talks, you're like, yeah, I mean,

0:49:33.920 --> 0:49:37.160
<v Speaker 1>I don't hate it. He's not a guy you root for.

0:49:37.960 --> 0:49:44.600
<v Speaker 1>That's funny. Bateman would He's gotta play both, gotta play both. Yes,

0:49:45.239 --> 0:49:49.319
<v Speaker 1>that's great. But but if Bateman plays both, Cupid in

0:49:49.400 --> 0:49:52.480
<v Speaker 1>this instance can't be the chubby baby. Cupid's got to

0:49:52.520 --> 0:49:55.359
<v Speaker 1>be in like a red suit, pink suit, red suit.

0:49:55.400 --> 0:49:58.440
<v Speaker 2>You got Christmas on the mind? Stop thinking about Cupid Christmas?

0:50:00.200 --> 0:50:03.440
<v Speaker 1>Telling me Valentine's does it ever read related to it?

0:50:03.560 --> 0:50:06.760
<v Speaker 2>I think you could cgi CGI.

0:50:06.960 --> 0:50:09.840
<v Speaker 1>So it's just his face, it's his head on a

0:50:09.960 --> 0:50:13.759
<v Speaker 1>chubby baby. This is now CGI the budgets climbing. Not

0:50:13.760 --> 0:50:15.960
<v Speaker 1>only did we cast Bateman in two roles, now we

0:50:16.080 --> 0:50:19.279
<v Speaker 1>have Cgi involved well.

0:50:19.520 --> 0:50:21.719
<v Speaker 2>Plus the baby is an assassin a ninja.

0:50:23.280 --> 0:50:27.680
<v Speaker 1>Baatement's playing the assassin ninja. There's a whole other movie.

0:50:28.520 --> 0:50:32.680
<v Speaker 1>Oh yes, there's a whole franchise of Cupid ship. I

0:50:32.719 --> 0:50:34.920
<v Speaker 1>think we can do, like there's a whole there's a

0:50:34.960 --> 0:50:35.640
<v Speaker 1>whole thing here.

0:50:38.000 --> 0:50:39.560
<v Speaker 2>That's good, that's really good.

0:50:39.600 --> 0:50:42.239
<v Speaker 1>Think about it. This is this has got some good

0:50:42.320 --> 0:50:43.600
<v Speaker 1>levels to it. You know who else?

0:50:43.640 --> 0:50:43.920

<v Speaker 1>like love them awesome. Here, let me ask you a question.

0:51:54.960 --> 0:51:57.239
<v Speaker 1>And I'm just like, well, all right, all a sudden

0:51:57.239 --> 0:52:00.000
<v Speaker 1>their spiel because sometimes it's just kind of I'm gonna

0:52:00.320 --> 0:52:01.279
<v Speaker 1>like I love to hear.

0:52:03.200 --> 0:52:05.640
<v Speaker 2>I don't think that's I don't think that's a nerd category.

0:52:05.760 --> 0:52:09.480
<v Speaker 1>Like I think like a crazy person like a nerd is.

0:52:09.480 --> 0:52:14.279
<v Speaker 2>Somebody like I like, you know, horses, Okay.

0:52:13.520 --> 0:52:16.960
<v Speaker 1>You know I like sci fi and yeah, not salespeople.

0:52:17.000 --> 0:52:21.160
<v Speaker 1>So then she she goes through, she puts in my stuff.

0:52:21.520 --> 0:52:27.160
<v Speaker 1>It's a whole thing. And then it turns out and

0:52:27.239 --> 0:52:32.080
<v Speaker 1>I remember, I have no intentions of switching my service

0:52:32.360 --> 0:52:34.600
<v Speaker 1>or doing whatever she's selling me. I'm just along for

0:52:34.680 --> 0:52:37.600
<v Speaker 1>the ride. So then she gets to the end and

0:52:37.640 --> 0:52:39.800
<v Speaker 1>I'm just like, you know what, I think I'm good

0:52:40.200 --> 0:52:44.600
<v Speaker 1>and blew her mind. Could not understand what I was doing.

0:52:44.719 --> 0:52:47.280
<v Speaker 1>It's like, listen, I think what you're doing is great,

0:52:47.360 --> 0:52:49.759
<v Speaker 1>because I do. I think what they're doing is fantastic.

0:52:49.800 --> 0:52:52.359
<v Speaker 2>Did you make physical contact with the salesperson at this time?

0:52:52.440 --> 0:52:55.399
<v Speaker 2>Did you five? Did you like pat her on the back?

0:52:55.640 --> 0:52:55.960
<v Speaker 1>I did not.

0:52:56.280 --> 0:52:58.920
<v Speaker 2>Was this like a serious like did you channel dat energy?

0:52:59.080 --> 0:53:01.719
<v Speaker 2>She she tries, as you can channel dad energy through

0:53:01.800 --> 0:53:03.279
<v Speaker 2>the hand into the.

0:53:03.480 --> 0:53:06.279
<v Speaker 1>There was a thing. There was a moment in the

0:53:06.480 --> 0:53:10.480
<v Speaker 1>series of questions where whatever I answered, she gave me

0:53:10.520 --> 0:53:13.400
<v Speaker 1>a fist bump for so I did do the fist bump, okay,

0:53:13.480 --> 0:53:16.000
<v Speaker 1>but I didn't like belittle her if that's what you're

0:53:16.040 --> 0:53:17.960
<v Speaker 1>asking and pat her on the head and be like

0:53:18.040 --> 0:53:20.759
<v Speaker 1>this is really good. I never did any of that.

0:53:21.520 --> 0:53:23.040
<v Speaker 1>But in the end, I was like, you know what,

0:53:23.160 --> 0:53:26.560
<v Speaker 1>I'm good. I love Verizon. I'm not leaving Verizon actually

0:53:26.600 --> 0:53:30.160
<v Speaker 1>sponsoring this side of the podcast episode this week, so

0:53:30.200 --> 0:53:32.759
<v Speaker 1>this is great and uh and I'm just like, you know,

0:53:32.800 --> 0:53:34.960
<v Speaker 1>but I love what you're doing. I love your strategy.

0:53:35.200 --> 0:53:37.239
<v Speaker 1>I loved everything about what's happening here.

0:53:37.440 --> 0:53:40.080
<v Speaker 2>I could tell that you loved it because as you

0:53:40.120 --> 0:53:43.760
<v Speaker 2>were telling me the story, you would avert your eyes

0:53:44.360 --> 0:53:47.560
<v Speaker 2>like and look away. Yeah, which as we've as we've

0:53:47.560 --> 0:53:50.879
<v Speaker 2>stayed it before. Yes, that's I mean, that is an

0:53:50.920 --> 0:53:55.000
<v Speaker 2>approval mechanism right there. Mm hmm. It's you make eye contact,

0:53:55.320 --> 0:53:57.120
<v Speaker 2>you say what you're gonna say, and then yeah, you

0:53:57.360 --> 0:53:58.000
<v Speaker 2>get out of there.

0:53:58.280 --> 0:54:04.040
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. I just think it's fun, you know, people doing

0:54:04.080 --> 0:54:07.759
<v Speaker 1>their jobs and doing it at a high level. I

0:54:07.800 --> 0:54:14.719
<v Speaker 1>did appreciate, you know, her willingness to be excited when

0:54:14.760 --> 0:54:17.680
<v Speaker 1>I told her very basic things about my cell phone plan.

0:54:18.520 --> 0:54:22.000
<v Speaker 1>And you know, that's just fun. Like the energy like

0:54:22.080 --> 0:54:23.839
<v Speaker 1>she's going places, I guess.

0:54:23.760 --> 0:54:28.160
<v Speaker 2>Was kind of my what was this person's name, no clue.

0:54:28.480 --> 0:54:31.719
<v Speaker 1>No clue, didn't care. I And it's not that I

0:54:31.719 --> 0:54:34.160
<v Speaker 1>don't care that she has a name. I'm excited that

0:54:34.200 --> 0:54:34.600
<v Speaker 1>she has a name.

0:54:34.640 --> 0:54:35.400
<v Speaker 2>Names are important.

0:54:35.520 --> 0:54:38.399
<v Speaker 1>Names are important. Everyone loves to hear their name. I

0:54:38.560 --> 0:54:43.960
<v Speaker 1>just didn't care to remember it beyond that moment, I guess,

0:54:44.200 --> 0:54:45.040
<v Speaker 1>so I moved on.

0:54:45.520 --> 0:54:47.279
<v Speaker 2>It's it's kind of you know, it's amazing as you

0:54:47.320 --> 0:54:49.560
<v Speaker 2>just talk about these these chances for people to share,

0:54:49.880 --> 0:54:52.200
<v Speaker 2>share who they actually are and really get that out

0:54:52.200 --> 0:54:56.040
<v Speaker 2>in the world. And so I love like my apartment,

0:54:56.120 --> 0:54:59.040
<v Speaker 2>my gym. Yeah, there I'll go, I'll do some treadmill,

0:54:59.160 --> 0:55:01.200
<v Speaker 2>you know, I'll do some different stuff, you know, maybe

0:55:01.200 --> 0:55:03.360
<v Speaker 2>like listen to a podcast or you know, do something

0:55:03.400 --> 0:55:05.799
<v Speaker 2>while I'm in there. And what I love is when

0:55:05.800 --> 0:55:08.560
<v Speaker 2>people in there use the TVs and then turn the

0:55:08.640 --> 0:55:11.879
<v Speaker 2>volume up way really really loud so that they can

0:55:11.920 --> 0:55:13.320
<v Speaker 2>hear it over the treadmill.

0:55:13.520 --> 0:55:16.760
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, because it's loud. Yeah, especially if they're running. Yeah

0:55:16.880 --> 0:55:18.240
<v Speaker 1>they need so what's happening?

0:55:18.680 --> 0:55:22.640
<v Speaker 2>Then I get to hear what they're listening to instead

0:55:22.640 --> 0:55:25.920
<v Speaker 2>of what I'm listening to. Yes, So again you have

0:55:26.000 --> 0:55:28.919
<v Speaker 2>this just great like melting pot of like I wonder

0:55:28.960 --> 0:55:31.200
<v Speaker 2>what they're going to watch? Have you ever got I

0:55:31.239 --> 0:55:32.759
<v Speaker 2>wonder what we're going to watch?

0:55:34.600 --> 0:55:38.400
<v Speaker 1>Have you ever considered that in a world where you

0:55:38.480 --> 0:55:41.840
<v Speaker 1>have earbuds or headphones in and you could listen to

0:55:41.920 --> 0:55:44.640
<v Speaker 1>your own thing that somebody might be more important than you.

0:55:44.880 --> 0:55:47.880
<v Speaker 1>That's where in that situation, that's how I would feel.

0:55:48.040 --> 0:55:50.680
<v Speaker 1>I would be like, you know what, you have a

0:55:50.680 --> 0:55:52.880
<v Speaker 1>good point, sir. I know you didn't ask me how

0:55:52.920 --> 0:55:55.239
<v Speaker 1>I felt about this, but good point.

0:55:55.760 --> 0:55:58.120
<v Speaker 2>You know. Actually not I think about it. It's very

0:55:58.160 --> 0:56:02.200
<v Speaker 2>selfish of me to keep you know, the podcast to myself. Yeah,

0:56:02.400 --> 0:56:03.680
<v Speaker 2>so I think next time I go to the gym,

0:56:03.719 --> 0:56:06.120
<v Speaker 2>I need to bring, you know, my Bluetooth speaker in there,

0:56:07.400 --> 0:56:11.200
<v Speaker 2>and when they have that, I'll blast this episode. Yes,

0:56:11.880 --> 0:56:14.440
<v Speaker 2>that way they know how much I appreciate that.

0:56:14.520 --> 0:56:17.920
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I think how fun it would be there. They

0:56:17.960 --> 0:56:20.000
<v Speaker 1>turn the volume up. It's loud, right, you can't hear

0:56:20.040 --> 0:56:23.880
<v Speaker 1>your own thing, and uh, you like turn off your

0:56:24.080 --> 0:56:27.719
<v Speaker 1>whatever you're listening to. You start intently watching and listening

0:56:27.760 --> 0:56:30.160
<v Speaker 1>to what they're but now you're commenting on and talking

0:56:30.160 --> 0:56:32.840
<v Speaker 1>to them about it. Yeah, and be like, oh, that's great,

0:56:32.880 --> 0:56:35.239
<v Speaker 1>Oh they got the wrong one, and just start spouting

0:56:35.280 --> 0:56:37.399
<v Speaker 1>out like things about it, like if you're gonna turn

0:56:37.400 --> 0:56:42.440
<v Speaker 1>it on for everybody? Yeah, one like if you're gonna

0:56:42.440 --> 0:56:44.640
<v Speaker 1>do that, if you're going to take over the room,

0:56:45.160 --> 0:56:47.120
<v Speaker 1>let's all get it on it, like, let's go.

0:56:47.719 --> 0:56:50.560
<v Speaker 2>That would that would be a great plan. But I'm

0:56:50.560 --> 0:56:52.080
<v Speaker 2>one of the kind of people that if I'm looking

0:56:52.080 --> 0:56:54.879
<v Speaker 2>at something on the treadmill that's to my left, I'm

0:56:54.880 --> 0:56:56.000
<v Speaker 2>gonna fall off that thing.

0:56:56.719 --> 0:56:58.560
<v Speaker 1>Oh really, yeah, you have to look to the right.

0:56:58.719 --> 0:57:00.680
<v Speaker 2>I'm one of the people that they have those bars

0:57:00.680 --> 0:57:02.400
<v Speaker 2>on the side of the treadmill to like keep me

0:57:02.440 --> 0:57:04.920
<v Speaker 2>in place because of my attention strayed to the right

0:57:04.920 --> 0:57:07.920
<v Speaker 2>of the left all unconsciously start walking that direction.

0:57:08.120 --> 0:57:09.640
<v Speaker 1>You're a guy that if it had a seat belt,

0:57:09.680 --> 0:57:10.920
<v Speaker 1>you'd wear it on the treadmill.

0:57:11.360 --> 0:57:15.400
<v Speaker 2>I have clipped the emergency stop line to to my

0:57:15.960 --> 0:57:17.000
<v Speaker 2>to my shorts before.

0:57:17.160 --> 0:57:19.560
<v Speaker 1>How fast do you go get them?

0:57:19.560 --> 0:57:20.600
<v Speaker 2>Good? Four miles an hour?

0:57:20.840 --> 0:57:23.520
<v Speaker 1>Okay, all right, that's brisk, that's okay. So it's not

0:57:23.560 --> 0:57:27.439
<v Speaker 1>like you're just yeah, yeah, bumbling around like you're you're going, yeah,

0:57:27.480 --> 0:57:30.560
<v Speaker 1>I've got places to be. Yeah, you really do? How long?

0:57:30.880 --> 0:57:32.840
<v Speaker 1>How long do you go at that rate? The four

0:57:32.880 --> 0:57:35.080
<v Speaker 1>miles part? How long are you going on the treadmill?

0:57:35.440 --> 0:57:37.360
<v Speaker 2>Well, I mean recently I've been doing four.

0:57:37.200 --> 0:57:40.720
<v Speaker 1>Miles a day for okay, so pretty good. Go.

0:57:40.840 --> 0:57:43.240
<v Speaker 2>I got this Europe trip and the one thing about Europe. Yeah,

0:57:43.240 --> 0:57:45.520
<v Speaker 2>you're walking, You're on your feet, You're walking the entire time.

0:57:45.560 --> 0:57:47.680
<v Speaker 2>So I got to make sure that, you know, the

0:57:47.680 --> 0:57:49.520
<v Speaker 2>heart and the legs are willing.

0:57:49.480 --> 0:57:52.640
<v Speaker 1>So you're you're training and working out for purpose, yeah

0:57:52.680 --> 0:57:56.160
<v Speaker 1>and not just for yeah, for health well, and.

0:57:56.120 --> 0:57:58.280
<v Speaker 2>I want to be ready to because you know, another

0:57:58.320 --> 0:58:00.760
<v Speaker 2>thing that I love is when I'm at the airport

0:58:01.320 --> 0:58:04.080
<v Speaker 2>and there are people at the airport that don't know

0:58:04.280 --> 0:58:07.120
<v Speaker 2>what they're doing, where they're gone, or how to get there.

0:58:09.040 --> 0:58:10.160
<v Speaker 1>What are you talking about?

0:58:10.400 --> 0:58:12.440
<v Speaker 2>So you know, yeah, just the people that you know,

0:58:12.520 --> 0:58:15.080
<v Speaker 2>the people that don't have TSA pre check that are

0:58:15.080 --> 0:58:17.680
<v Speaker 2>going through and we got to take our shoes off. Now,

0:58:18.000 --> 0:58:20.960
<v Speaker 2>we got to take our coats off. Like they show

0:58:21.040 --> 0:58:23.240
<v Speaker 2>up to the front the metal detectors and they don't

0:58:23.280 --> 0:58:26.160
<v Speaker 2>have everything ready and so they've got all the questions.

0:58:26.200 --> 0:58:29.800
<v Speaker 2>Like the TSA officers have to repeat the instructions, you know,

0:58:29.840 --> 0:58:31.760
<v Speaker 2>like every like twenty seconds. I got to say, like

0:58:31.800 --> 0:58:34.440
<v Speaker 2>all shoes in the bin. Like these are the people

0:58:34.440 --> 0:58:37.240
<v Speaker 2>that didn't hear it the first twenty times that they

0:58:37.280 --> 0:58:39.360
<v Speaker 2>said shoes in the bin, and now are at the

0:58:39.400 --> 0:58:41.520
<v Speaker 2>front of the line and now have their shoes still

0:58:41.520 --> 0:58:43.560
<v Speaker 2>on their feet. Yeah, and it's not going to be

0:58:43.600 --> 0:58:46.040
<v Speaker 2>a quick process for them to get those shoes up there.

0:58:46.640 --> 0:58:51.000
<v Speaker 1>All right, I could. Here's the thing, like I love

0:58:51.120 --> 0:58:53.200
<v Speaker 1>I love those people too, the people who are oblivious

0:58:53.280 --> 0:58:59.000
<v Speaker 1>to the world, right, the people who have flown multiple

0:58:59.040 --> 0:59:02.320
<v Speaker 1>times and since two thousand and one, and they understand

0:59:02.360 --> 0:59:06.280
<v Speaker 1>the restrictions and the process, right, but they're shocked every

0:59:06.320 --> 0:59:10.120
<v Speaker 1>time that they get there, which then slows it down.

0:59:10.560 --> 0:59:14.080
<v Speaker 1>That's the that's the things pre check. How fast does

0:59:14.080 --> 0:59:15.800
<v Speaker 1>that actually get you through the line faster?

0:59:17.000 --> 0:59:20.600
<v Speaker 2>I mean Omaha here, Yeah, I don't think I've ever

0:59:20.720 --> 0:59:23.000
<v Speaker 2>flown out of Omaha and had to take longer than

0:59:23.120 --> 0:59:28.600
<v Speaker 2>three minutes for me to get from standing there waiting

0:59:28.600 --> 0:59:30.240
<v Speaker 2>for the guy to call me up and going through.

0:59:30.080 --> 0:59:32.919
<v Speaker 1>The So it's clutch, like it's it's an absolute.

0:59:33.560 --> 0:59:35.160
<v Speaker 2>It used to be a challenge to me when my

0:59:35.200 --> 0:59:36.760
<v Speaker 2>folks would drop me off when I'd be up here

0:59:36.760 --> 0:59:39.280
<v Speaker 2>to visit, to see how fast I could go from

0:59:39.320 --> 0:59:42.320
<v Speaker 2>their car to my gate. Wow, And I think that

0:59:42.400 --> 0:59:44.920
<v Speaker 2>was my record was like three minutes and like fifteen

0:59:45.000 --> 0:59:45.880
<v Speaker 2>seconds one time.

0:59:46.000 --> 0:59:47.680
<v Speaker 1>But that doesn't give you, well, I guess that gives

0:59:47.720 --> 0:59:49.520
<v Speaker 1>you more time than to hit the airport bar.

0:59:49.840 --> 0:59:53.040
<v Speaker 2>Yep, yep, there's one thing I love. It's an eighteen

0:59:53.120 --> 0:59:55.920
<v Speaker 2>dollars beer. Yeah, but I get to look out the

0:59:55.960 --> 0:59:56.880
<v Speaker 2>window and see airplane.

0:59:56.960 --> 0:59:58.920
<v Speaker 1>Correct, That's I was just about to say, It's not

0:59:59.040 --> 1:00:01.360
<v Speaker 1>about the price of the beer. It's about the atmosphere

1:00:01.400 --> 1:00:04.120
<v Speaker 1>and the experience of it, and that's what you're paying for. Yeah,

1:00:04.520 --> 1:00:06.880
<v Speaker 1>that's there's just that's just like you're not gonna pay

1:00:06.960 --> 1:00:10.200
<v Speaker 1>Like I bought two beers at the Creighton basketball game

1:00:10.280 --> 1:00:15.120
<v Speaker 1>last night, and it was like twenty two dollars. I'm

1:00:15.240 --> 1:00:17.600
<v Speaker 1>I didn't bat an eye. No, not because I have

1:00:17.680 --> 1:00:19.919
<v Speaker 1>all this money to buy beers, but because I knew

1:00:19.960 --> 1:00:22.080
<v Speaker 1>I was paying for the experience in the atmosphere and

1:00:22.120 --> 1:00:24.880
<v Speaker 1>where I was at, Like, I know, I could complain

1:00:24.920 --> 1:00:27.000
<v Speaker 1>about it, but then what does that do? Give me

1:00:27.040 --> 1:00:29.960
<v Speaker 1>no beer? So that's just kind of where I was at.

1:00:30.160 --> 1:00:31.920
<v Speaker 2>That's the Uh. When I used to go to the

1:00:31.920 --> 1:00:34.640
<v Speaker 2>Braves games in Atlanta, yeh, I'd buy the cheapest ticket

1:00:34.760 --> 1:00:37.080
<v Speaker 2>just to get in. Yeah you know, and just be like,

1:00:37.160 --> 1:00:39.360
<v Speaker 2>I'm not spending more than thirty bucks to go to

1:00:39.400 --> 1:00:41.680
<v Speaker 2>this game, right If there's not a thirty dollars ticket

1:00:41.680 --> 1:00:43.200
<v Speaker 2>that I'm just not gonna go right because.

1:00:42.960 --> 1:00:43.880
<v Speaker 1>You know you're gonna buy beers.

1:00:43.880 --> 1:00:45.760
<v Speaker 2>But I would buy that thirty dollars ticket, or I'd

1:00:45.760 --> 1:00:47.840
<v Speaker 2>buy that ten dollars ticket, and then i'd have, you know,

1:00:48.120 --> 1:00:50.520
<v Speaker 2>three beers on top of that. That would be fifty

1:00:50.560 --> 1:00:51.440
<v Speaker 2>to sixty bucks.

1:00:51.480 --> 1:00:54.480
<v Speaker 1>But now I've paid the price of what that expensive

1:00:54.480 --> 1:00:57.400
<v Speaker 1>ticket might have been. Yea, yeah, that's that's just kind

1:00:57.400 --> 1:00:57.880
<v Speaker 1>of how it is.

1:00:57.880 --> 1:00:58.439
<v Speaker 2>I do.

1:01:00.280 --> 1:01:04.080
<v Speaker 1>Appreciate to the airport bar, and like that situation. You

1:01:04.120 --> 1:01:06.520
<v Speaker 1>get through, like you were saying, you get through the

1:01:06.520 --> 1:01:08.920
<v Speaker 1>people you love, which is the people who slowed down

1:01:08.960 --> 1:01:11.360
<v Speaker 1>the process. You get through them, and it's kind of

1:01:11.360 --> 1:01:14.160
<v Speaker 1>like your reward then is to have an ice cold

1:01:14.160 --> 1:01:18.000
<v Speaker 1>beer yep, while you're waiting in a situation where everybody's

1:01:18.040 --> 1:01:21.920
<v Speaker 1>waiting in tense about being there on time. Everybody's in

1:01:21.920 --> 1:01:24.880
<v Speaker 1>the same boat. Now, everybody is in that moment of

1:01:25.080 --> 1:01:27.240
<v Speaker 1>am I gonna get where I need to go on time?

1:01:28.040 --> 1:01:30.760
<v Speaker 1>Do I have time for this? Or am I killing time?

1:01:30.800 --> 1:01:32.800
<v Speaker 1>Like everybody's in that same boat. It's kind of it's

1:01:32.840 --> 1:01:33.360
<v Speaker 1>kind of nice.

1:01:33.640 --> 1:01:35.960
<v Speaker 2>I love, you know, having that a little bit of

1:01:36.000 --> 1:01:39.720
<v Speaker 2>that arrogance at the airport, Like, yeah, I've flown a

1:01:39.720 --> 1:01:43.080
<v Speaker 2>few times. Yeah, yeah, my flight's not for you know,

1:01:43.080 --> 1:01:45.240
<v Speaker 2>it's another thirty minutes, but I know that you know,

1:01:45.360 --> 1:01:47.840
<v Speaker 2>fifteen of that's going to be them letting you know,

1:01:47.880 --> 1:01:51.400
<v Speaker 2>first class in yep. So yeah, I'll take another beer.

1:01:51.360 --> 1:01:52.520
<v Speaker 1>Right, you know what's up?

1:01:52.680 --> 1:01:55.040
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I mean I'm not beyond you know, getting a

1:01:55.040 --> 1:01:57.520
<v Speaker 2>little flustered. Then when it gets to about five minutes

1:01:57.560 --> 1:02:01.840
<v Speaker 2>out and it's just like I need that check. Yeah, now,

1:02:01.960 --> 1:02:05.479
<v Speaker 2>all right, picture of this in your head. Opening scene

1:02:05.480 --> 1:02:13.080
<v Speaker 2>of the movie, Bateman is at the airport bar orders

1:02:13.120 --> 1:02:14.800
<v Speaker 2>his second beer. He's got an empty rate in front

1:02:14.800 --> 1:02:18.800
<v Speaker 2>of him, or is that second beer? And in the

1:02:19.720 --> 1:02:23.479
<v Speaker 2>in the action of him reaching over to grab the beer,

1:02:24.440 --> 1:02:27.920
<v Speaker 2>the bottle slips in his hand. Well, Cupid is off

1:02:27.960 --> 1:02:32.360
<v Speaker 2>to the left shooting the arrow, and the bottle, you know,

1:02:32.760 --> 1:02:35.520
<v Speaker 2>wobbling on the table is just enough to hit Cupid's

1:02:35.600 --> 1:02:38.160
<v Speaker 2>arrow off and make it hit the wrong person.

1:02:38.600 --> 1:02:45.160
<v Speaker 1>So he goes for the second one. It ricochets off

1:02:45.200 --> 1:02:45.600
<v Speaker 1>the bottle.

1:02:45.720 --> 1:02:49.600
<v Speaker 2>Yeah yeah, so somebody else hit somebody else, and so

1:02:49.600 --> 1:02:51.640
<v Speaker 2>then you have this symmetry in the movie of the

1:02:51.640 --> 1:02:56.880
<v Speaker 2>first scene is Bateman at the bar by himself obviously, yeah, yeah,

1:02:56.920 --> 1:03:01.000
<v Speaker 2>And then at the end, you've got Cupid guying Bateman's

1:03:01.480 --> 1:03:08.320
<v Speaker 2>car to the airport to you know, reconnect him, reunite

1:03:08.360 --> 1:03:10.120
<v Speaker 2>him with his true love.

1:03:10.240 --> 1:03:11.120
<v Speaker 1>And there's our story.

1:03:11.600 --> 1:03:11.960
<v Speaker 2>Finn.

1:03:12.560 --> 1:03:16.600
<v Speaker 1>Oh, this this thing is going to be so good. Yeah,

1:03:16.680 --> 1:03:19.800
<v Speaker 1>this is gonna be like an all time Valentine's Day

1:03:19.880 --> 1:03:22.280
<v Speaker 1>theme movie. It's gonna be an all time Cupid movie,

1:03:22.760 --> 1:03:26.400
<v Speaker 1>and it's gonna be the first of its kind. And

1:03:26.440 --> 1:03:29.160
<v Speaker 1>I think because like Valentine's Date, there's an actual movie called

1:03:29.240 --> 1:03:33.120
<v Speaker 1>Valentine's Day. Ashton Kutcher stars in it. There's this like

1:03:34.480 --> 1:03:37.880
<v Speaker 1>thear theorizing of Cupid, you know, in the air, like

1:03:37.960 --> 1:03:40.280
<v Speaker 1>Cubid's in the air, you know, but there's not an

1:03:40.320 --> 1:03:41.000
<v Speaker 1>actual guy.

1:03:42.240 --> 1:03:47.400
<v Speaker 2>Well there's difference. There's not just a guy Bateman.

1:03:48.560 --> 1:03:51.440
<v Speaker 1>God, I love Bateman. Is it too late to get

1:03:51.480 --> 1:03:54.480
<v Speaker 1>Bateman on this episode to like kind of pitch it

1:03:54.600 --> 1:03:55.280
<v Speaker 1>talk about it?

1:03:55.400 --> 1:03:59.080
<v Speaker 2>I'm pretty sure I told Johnny about thirty minutes ago.

1:03:59.360 --> 1:04:02.320
<v Speaker 1>Johnny, it's not, Uh, it's not that hard to get

1:04:02.320 --> 1:04:05.320
<v Speaker 1>a guy. He's a he's got one of the largest

1:04:05.320 --> 1:04:06.360
<v Speaker 1>podcasts in the world.

1:04:06.560 --> 1:04:09.919
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, right now, a lot of time on his hands. Yeah,

1:04:10.200 --> 1:04:12.360
<v Speaker 2>I mean, what other reason would you spend that much

1:04:12.360 --> 1:04:13.200
<v Speaker 2>time to a podcast.

1:04:13.240 --> 1:04:17.680
<v Speaker 1>Anybody podcasting has time on their hands, and you it

1:04:17.720 --> 1:04:20.640
<v Speaker 1>would be great, you know, to uh just kind.

1:04:20.480 --> 1:04:22.040
<v Speaker 2>Of spitball some things with him.

1:04:23.040 --> 1:04:28.760
<v Speaker 1>That would be fun. This is a poem from the

1:04:28.800 --> 1:04:35.120
<v Speaker 1>perspective of Cisco called Thongs and Love. She walks in

1:04:35.480 --> 1:04:39.080
<v Speaker 1>thongs shining bright, got my heart racing, feels so right.

1:04:39.600 --> 1:04:42.640
<v Speaker 1>It's not just the thong, it's the way she moves her.

1:04:42.680 --> 1:04:46.640
<v Speaker 1>Love's got me grooving. I can't lose Thongs on the floor,

1:04:47.040 --> 1:04:50.120
<v Speaker 1>love in the air. I'm all about the rhythm. But

1:04:50.240 --> 1:04:53.959
<v Speaker 1>she's my care The thongs are sweet, but love's the key.

1:04:54.600 --> 1:04:59.040
<v Speaker 1>Cisco heart beats for you and me. So let's dance.

1:04:59.360 --> 1:05:03.120
<v Speaker 1>Let the though swing. This loves the realist thing. It's

1:05:03.200 --> 1:05:05.720
<v Speaker 1>not just about what you wear. It's the love we

1:05:05.840 --> 1:05:14.840
<v Speaker 1>got beyond. Compare man Valentine's Day. We learned a lot today. Yeah,

1:05:15.120 --> 1:05:16.080
<v Speaker 1>we learned a lot today.

1:05:16.240 --> 1:05:18.680
<v Speaker 2>Reason to celebrate that second Friday in February.

1:05:18.960 --> 1:05:24.640
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, the second Friday of February, February fourteenth, every single year.

1:05:24.680 --> 1:05:28.960
<v Speaker 1>So well, hold on the second Friday of February every year,

1:05:29.440 --> 1:05:33.919
<v Speaker 1>February fourteenth, Valentine's Day. That's how you remember it. That's
