Speaker 1: Welcome back. It's a brand new episode. This is Laugh
Speaker 1: with Me Podcast with jarredy b. I'm your own Jo
Speaker 1: and I'm not alone. I've got my good friend returning guest.
Speaker 1: You could probably do the intro for him. He's a giant,
Speaker 1: giant in the transportation injury injury? Are there a lot
Speaker 1: of injuries in your business? Is something we're not gonna
Speaker 1: talk about. Yeah, all right, transportation business. He was the
Speaker 1: eighth speaker at Central. Now now I'm now I'm down playing.
Speaker 1: You were the fifth speaker at Central. He is a farmer,
Speaker 1: fantasy football champion of the world. He's got love in
Speaker 1: his heart. Today it's Eric Larsen, one of my best friends.
Speaker 1: He is here and we're it's Valentine's Day, it's Valentine's Week.
Speaker 2: I'm excited to be here. Say, to get into this topic.
Speaker 2: Longtime listener of the show, feels like the first time
Speaker 2: I've ever been in the studio.
Speaker 1: Yeah you yeah. He walks in and he's like, oh,
Speaker 1: a new setup, and I go, No, exact same setup
Speaker 1: as the last time you're here. It will be a
Speaker 1: little different next time you're here, But yes, it is
Speaker 1: the exact same.
Speaker 2: In my defense, I mean the beers were full on
Speaker 2: the desk when I walked in. Yeah, that is not
Speaker 2: how we left the studio last time. Yeah, it's true.
Speaker 1: There's nothing wrong with having a few beverages while you
Speaker 1: record a podcast. In fact, I believe more podcasts maybe
Speaker 1: more enjoyable if you enjoyed a few beverages along the way.
Speaker 2: You hit our topic. I mean love. Yeah, I mean
Speaker 2: to talk about love. Sometimes you need a little that
Speaker 2: honesty juice.
Speaker 1: You know, that's the thing when you're and we've got
Speaker 1: you know, I don't even know. Did you know I've
Speaker 1: got a sign in the studio, Oh, handmade says love
Speaker 1: on it. You didn't even know this. You probably have
Speaker 1: never even noticed that piece of artwork at.
Speaker 2: Well, I saw it. I didn't realize the heart was
Speaker 2: supposed to be the Oh that is the L I
Speaker 2: thought it was just the the lve the Volleyball Association.
Speaker 1: Las Vegas Entertainment. Like, we'll go a kind of bullshit.
Speaker 1: Are you promoting it here? No, it's it's love. Love
Speaker 1: is in the air, Love is on the walls. It
Speaker 1: is Valentine's Week, and that's what we're here to talk about.
Speaker 1: Talk about Valentine's Day. It's funny because it could mean
Speaker 1: a lot of things to a lot of different people.
Speaker 1: And that's kinda I think where we're heading today is
Speaker 1: that this this subject, it's so deep and everything involve
Speaker 1: Valentine's Day. It has various different meanings. I just have
Speaker 1: one thing though, right off the top, I want to
Speaker 1: like put out there because I don't think a lot
Speaker 1: of people know this, but Valentine's Day. I mean, I
Speaker 1: guess it depends on how it's all relative. It's not
Speaker 1: that old really, Yeah, it started in nineteen ten. Did
Speaker 1: you know that? That's not that's honestly, when you think
Speaker 1: of like things that we've just been a part of
Speaker 1: our entire lives, that's not that long ago.
Speaker 2: Well, in all the events, I mean a big event
Speaker 2: when it hits that anniversary, I mean normally you have
Speaker 2: that one hundred years in retrospect. Do you have that
Speaker 2: big thing like where was the twenty ten Valentine's Centennial celebration?
Speaker 1: Yep? It was invented by Joyce Clyde Hall in Kansas City, Missouri.
Speaker 1: In nineteen ten. She owned a company called Hall Brothers. Eventually,
Speaker 1: in nineteen fifty four, she changed that business name to
Speaker 1: something you all are going to know about Hallmark Company.
Speaker 1: Oh wow, yeah, nineteen ten.
Speaker 2: Joyce sounds like an Irish name, Joyce. I mean the
Speaker 2: Irish aren't necessarily some people you think of as like sensual. No. No,
Speaker 2: So you think this was like overcompensating on their part.
Speaker 1: It very well could be.
Speaker 2: That's funny.
Speaker 1: So Valentine's Day Ruary fourteenth, At least this year it's
Speaker 1: on February fourteenth. I don't know, I've known a lot
Speaker 1: of Valentine's Days. It kind of like falls around depending
Speaker 1: on the day. Right, this year it's on the fourteenth.
Speaker 1: It always falls on a Friday, right.
Speaker 2: No, it always falls on the fourteenth.
Speaker 1: Okay, I thought it was a Friday thing.
Speaker 2: No. No, And see this is probably a common thing
Speaker 2: because I mean for anybody who's watched a sitcom in
Speaker 2: their life, I mean, it's tough to keep track of
Speaker 2: the date. Yeah, I mean that's almost like an assumed plot.
Speaker 2: Like you know, these these shows get into that fortieth
Speaker 2: fiftieth episode, you know, they're they're shooting blanks at this point, Like,
Speaker 2: what else can we talk about Valentine's Day? What day
Speaker 2: is it on? I don't know, Friday? No, No, no,
Speaker 2: it's got a date. It's got a date.
Speaker 1: It's on the fourteenth. Well, that's something that I was unaware.
Speaker 1: So we're learning today. We're learning a little bit about
Speaker 1: the very special holiday of Valentine's Day.
Speaker 2: When this show comes out, it's going to be right
Speaker 2: before Valentine's Day. Team, this is your call to action.
Speaker 1: The fourteenth. Yeah, so you know, this is a time
Speaker 1: where a lot of people generally buy flowers, candy. You know,
Speaker 1: myself working in uh, you know, the grocery business for
Speaker 1: a long time, this was a busy time generally the
Speaker 1: day before, generally Valentine's Day, especially sometimes the day after.
Speaker 1: A lot of times it's a lot of work in
Speaker 1: the build up to it, and then it's just chaos,
Speaker 1: a day of to get the flowers out, to get
Speaker 1: the chocolates out, all those last minute fellas. It's such
Speaker 1: a last minute holiday.
Speaker 2: I love that you said, like sometimes the day after,
Speaker 2: ye like you got these like that would probably be
Speaker 2: me the bargain shop. I mean, I'm not paying I'm
Speaker 2: not paying retail for this. You know, Reese's peanut butter
Speaker 2: cup that's a foot wide in the shape of a heart. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I'm I'm throwing this over in the dog food aisle.
Speaker 2: I'm going to you know, pick it up tomorrow and
Speaker 2: get twenty percent off on it.
Speaker 1: It's actually it's funny because it's on a Friday. This year,
Speaker 1: we've covered this deeply. Now there will be people who
Speaker 1: are going to have, you know what their quote unquote
Speaker 1: Valentine's date is on a Saturday on the fifteen, and
Speaker 1: there's gonna be people waiting to do any type of
Speaker 1: shopping for that until the morning or the afternoon of
Speaker 1: the fifteenth to do that very thing, To get the
Speaker 1: discounted candy, to get the discounted flowers, even to save
Speaker 1: a bug for Valentin'sday. It's a real thing, you.
Speaker 2: Know, another important thing to just throw out there. Don't
Speaker 2: hide chocolate in the dog food aisle. That was a
Speaker 2: poor choice. I was just thinking on my feet. Dogs
Speaker 2: and chocolate they don't go together.
Speaker 1: They do not go together.
Speaker 2: Do not hide the chocolate next to the dog food.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's quite dangerous for the pups.
Speaker 2: So the public service announcement, that's.
Speaker 1: A seclic service announcement.
Speaker 2: That's the second one.
Speaker 1: Do not tie in chocolate with dog food. That's you
Speaker 1: know what that actually that's going to save lives. I've
Speaker 1: got a few here's the few things I just told you.
Speaker 1: Valentine's Day. To me, it's like it was a lot
Speaker 1: of work for me, you know, in the past. One
Speaker 1: time though, I got to miss and skip the whole thing.
Speaker 1: It's because I got very, very sick. I had a
Speaker 1: severe like strep throat over. I missed like three days
Speaker 1: of work right over Valentine's Day. I had a very
Speaker 1: high fever, super sick. I was seeing shit like it was.
Speaker 1: It was weird.
Speaker 2: So probably too late for the listening audience to do
Speaker 2: that now, Yeah, Like I had to start laying the
Speaker 2: groundwork for that before, you know, three days.
Speaker 1: Yeah, if you were, if you were somebody who was
Speaker 1: wanting to be sick for Valentine's Day, I mean, yeah,
Speaker 1: you would have put yourself in position to get those
Speaker 1: germs five days ago.
Speaker 3: God.
Speaker 2: Well that's and that's where it becomes even tougher. Not
Speaker 2: knowing what day Valentine's Day is. It makes it tough,
Speaker 2: Like I mean, if you're just randomly firing on February, like,
Speaker 2: could you imagine like could you imagine you know, being
Speaker 2: sick like the tenth, eleventh, and twelfth, because then you
Speaker 2: have the recovery.
Speaker 1: Time yep, and then you're back and then you're.
Speaker 2: Back, and I mean the expectation is going to be
Speaker 2: that you're ready to go. You can't milk that two days. Yeah,
Speaker 2: maybe one day, one day, one day you could be
Speaker 2: like I didn't sleep well, you know, but two days, no,
Speaker 2: sympathy's gone.
Speaker 1: I will say. Being sick over that time, I thought
Speaker 1: I was going to get like, oh man, you know,
Speaker 1: we got you. Hope you feel better, you know, get ressed,
Speaker 1: get ready, and then come back and then you know,
Speaker 1: we'll take a break and then you you'll take over
Speaker 1: from there. And instead I got why weren't you at work?
Speaker 1: We needed you? It was super busy. Hope you enjoyed
Speaker 1: your time off. I was like, no, I was very,
Speaker 1: very sick.
Speaker 2: Also while meanwhile there's a palette of candy that meanwhile, yeah,
Speaker 2: just completely missed Valentine's Day because you were gone, because
Speaker 2: I was.
Speaker 1: Gone also around Valentine's Day, and a lot of people
Speaker 1: don't think about this. Only the NBA All Star Weekend
Speaker 1: falls around Valentine's Day, and it is happening again this
Speaker 1: weekend with Valentins on Friday, You've got NBA All Start
Speaker 1: Saturday the next day, and then the game on Sunday
Speaker 1: as well.
Speaker 2: Every time I think of Valentine's Day, I think of
Speaker 2: the NBA all start. You are so right?
Speaker 1: Yeah, so right. And staying on the sports topic, we're
Speaker 1: a few years away from the super Bowl falling on
Speaker 1: Valentine's date. That's going to be a special one because
Speaker 1: what are people going to do. Are they going to
Speaker 1: choose the game or are they going to choose go
Speaker 1: you know, going out on the date, and how are
Speaker 1: they going.
Speaker 2: To spin that?
Speaker 1: Like, what's what's going to be the game plan there?
Speaker 2: I mean the super Bowl from last Sunday probably made
Speaker 2: it more likely to just skip the game, just skip
Speaker 2: the game, allgether? Hey, let's let's skip the game. We'll
Speaker 2: watch a you know, a YouTube compilation of the commercials,
Speaker 2: you know, after the date.
Speaker 1: Hey, what's your what's your thoughts on the marketing tactic
Speaker 1: now of releasing the commercials before the game and then
Speaker 1: the then the same commercial airing during the game.
Speaker 2: No, no, no, I hate it. I hate it. I
Speaker 2: hate and I generally I don't even like the idea
Speaker 2: of when they tease the commercial like oh hey, we're
Speaker 2: gonna build this up for like the last half of
Speaker 2: the football season. No, no, that was half the fun before.
Speaker 2: It was just the shock factor of not knowing what
Speaker 2: direction they were going to go.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: So I'm not appreciative of these these companies that want
Speaker 2: to kind of you know, get ahead of the competition
Speaker 2: or like start the buzz like early. No, give give
Speaker 2: me the commercial and then we the viewers will tell
Speaker 2: you who won the oscar.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm with you there.
Speaker 2: They do give oscars for commercials, right.
Speaker 1: They do not. There's a USA today?
Speaker 2: Are you telling me? Is still It's still around?
Speaker 1: It's still around, and they are it's still around. It's
Speaker 1: not the same. There's not even a lot of USA
Speaker 1: today specific like writers like on staff. It's just they
Speaker 1: get articles and things written from consultants and I just
Speaker 1: around the country.
Speaker 2: You know. My favorite part of the USA work what
Speaker 2: was that they put the little graph on the front
Speaker 2: the front page.
Speaker 1: I always had like a little graph.
Speaker 2: So I was just like, what are they gonna what
Speaker 2: are they gonna do today?
Speaker 1: Right, So Monday morning when the paper came out, there
Speaker 1: was a chart for the for the commercials and it
Speaker 1: said go to the website to see the and then
Speaker 1: on Tuesday they had the rankings.
Speaker 2: It's very hard to translate. Yeah, the video commercial to.
Speaker 1: The right right, you know, it was actually funny. I
Speaker 1: still enjoy the USA today, but it's different. I mean,
Speaker 1: it's just a whole different deal. But yeah, they do
Speaker 1: still do their rankings. They still have people like score
Speaker 1: the commercials or whatnot. Here's the thing that bothered me,
Speaker 1: because you know, they are doing a lot of rolling
Speaker 1: up the commercials to build the buzz and then it
Speaker 1: airs during But there was a specific commercial that was
Speaker 1: for like Tatino's Pizza Roles, the one with Tim Robinson
Speaker 1: and that that full commercial we got weeks before the
Speaker 1: game to promote, you know, for the super Bowl, and
Speaker 1: then during the commercial for the actual apt for the
Speaker 1: Super Bowl, it was a shorter, smaller version of the
Speaker 1: ad itself that that aired. You don't even get the
Speaker 1: full joke. It was still good, but when you know,
Speaker 1: when you've seen the full ad, you're like, oh, that
Speaker 1: joke has a completely different context when you've seen it,
Speaker 1: you know. There, I don't know, I don't like that, like,
Speaker 1: at least give us the full deal. Yeah, I didn't
Speaker 1: like that. They they hyped it up and build the
Speaker 1: excitement and they put this ad out and then it's
Speaker 1: just it's part of it. You know, it's fifteen seconds
Speaker 1: or whatever it was.
Speaker 2: I mean, I hate to call you out on this,
Speaker 2: but you're sound a little heartless. I mean, we found
Speaker 2: out from the commercial that you know, to Tino's pizza
Speaker 2: roles costs about a dollar apiece. Yeah, we did. So
Speaker 2: you're basically saying like they need to spell like twenty
Speaker 2: million more pizza rolls so that you can see the
Speaker 2: full version. Yeah, well, you sit on your couch and
Speaker 2: drink your beer.
Speaker 1: It was a funny commercial that we are getting.
Speaker 2: They are sponsoring us today, right.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Today's Laugh with Me is actually sponsored by that
Speaker 1: very commercial, not the company, not Totino's, but it's being
Speaker 1: sponsored by the marketing group that made the commercial. They're
Speaker 1: sponsoring us to talk about the commercial.
Speaker 2: It's there's levels to this, love the marketing group.
Speaker 1: There's levels of this. It's actually Totinos actually doesn't even
Speaker 1: know we're involved in this, but we are because of
Speaker 1: the marketing group who's hire us to you know, it's
Speaker 1: it's a whole thing. There's levels things that a lot
Speaker 1: of people don't know about So thanks for bringing that up.
Speaker 2: Inside the business.
Speaker 1: This is inside, this is inside baseball going on. But yeah, no,
Speaker 1: that's kind of what Valentine's Day means to me. It
Speaker 1: always meant a lot of busy time and sometimes very
Speaker 1: sick and a lot of basketball. But that's, uh, that's
Speaker 1: kind of where it's always been for me. It's different
Speaker 1: to a lot of different people, you know.
Speaker 2: I mean mine, I'm obviously I'm not married, you know,
Speaker 2: not having that that consistent relationship by all the time
Speaker 2: on Valentine's Day. So a lot of my prep for
Speaker 2: the holiday, I was convincing, you know, my friends that
Speaker 2: it was not on the fourteenth, that it was on
Speaker 2: a different date. That way, i'd have somebody to hang
Speaker 2: out with.
Speaker 1: You'd tell them Valentine's Valentine's Day.
Speaker 2: I mean, apparently it's still bears, Yeah, it still is. Yeah.
Speaker 2: I would have mad confused if I would have started
Speaker 2: the show by saying, ah, Jemmy, you want to hang
Speaker 2: out this Friday? Yeah, you probably would have been like, yeah,
Speaker 2: I got nothing, Yeah, I got nothing going on the
Speaker 2: other why not? Yeah, what would.
Speaker 1: Valentine's Days on? It's on like Sunday and Yeah, it's
Speaker 1: always every Sunday.
Speaker 2: It's always a Sunday after the super Bowl.
Speaker 1: It's the Sunday after the super Bowl. See, that's the
Speaker 1: type of thing we need. We need more consistency with
Speaker 1: that kind of stuff. You know, people get confused to win.
Speaker 1: Thanksgiving is obviously it's the was it the last Thursday
Speaker 1: of November? It's like the fourth Thursday, the fourth Thursday.
Speaker 1: There's there's a there's a process to it. I know,
Speaker 1: it's never always on the twenty third. And there'll be
Speaker 1: people who are like one day Thanksgiving on this year,
Speaker 1: and it's like it's it's Thursday, Like we're gonna definitely
Speaker 1: do this on Thursday this year, like always.
Speaker 2: I'm imagining Kyle like he's listening to this episode right
Speaker 2: now and he's frantically like googling.
Speaker 1: Like what what day is my business? Yeah? Thanks for listening.
Speaker 1: Go Well, some of the things that Valentine's Day that
Speaker 1: people kind of associate with it, I don't know. Cupid, Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: he's a big deal.
Speaker 2: Right, I mean kind of the original. I mean he's
Speaker 2: a baby, is he well, or at least he's got
Speaker 2: the baby. Is the pudgy body you could probably say
Speaker 2: he's a prototype of the dad bod craze, is he?
Speaker 1: What do you think his diet's like?
Speaker 2: Well, I mean, obviously a lot of chocolate.
Speaker 1: Not fat shaming at all, I'm just I'm just curious. Yeah,
Speaker 1: a lot of chocolate. What does a guy like Cupid like,
Speaker 1: what's he eat on a daily basis? Chocolate? I could
Speaker 1: see that. That's you know, that's.
Speaker 2: Probably like a stereotypical answer on that.
Speaker 1: And he eats a lot of cookies. I'm sure he
Speaker 1: eats other things, but we know about the cookies.
Speaker 2: I mean, what what do you think came first? The
Speaker 2: Valentine's Day candy or the holiday?
Speaker 1: Mm hmm, Well, based on our research, I would say
Speaker 1: I would say the holiday, because I mean somebody jumped
Speaker 1: in with, well, we need to how can we sell
Speaker 1: some stuff with it. It's kind of like what came
Speaker 1: first President's Day or furniture sales.
Speaker 2: Well, I'm just I'm just thinking. I mean, we asked
Speaker 2: what Cupid's diet was going to be. I mean, could
Speaker 2: he be a chalky heart guy?
Speaker 1: Oh?
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, I mean what other purposes the chalky
Speaker 2: heart for?
Speaker 1: So here's what you're suggesting is that it's possible that
Speaker 1: in the marketplace there was these heart shaped chocolate boxes
Speaker 1: and heart shaped chocolate bars, and then Valentine's Day was created,
Speaker 1: and then somebody was like, you know what, this might
Speaker 1: make sense if we just combined the two.
Speaker 2: No great marketing.
Speaker 1: I like to think the all of it came first
Speaker 1: and then we built some chocolate around it.
Speaker 2: It's it's interesting, you know that we have Cupid. You know,
Speaker 2: Cupid's a recognizable thing. Where's the Cupid movie? Like, where's
Speaker 2: the Cupid?
Speaker 1: Ip?
Speaker 2: Who owns Cupid to do a movie? Like we've got Frankenstein,
Speaker 2: We've got Dracula, We've got the Mummy, like those are
Speaker 2: all in that kind of group. We've you know, obviously
Speaker 2: Marvel and DC and all their stuff, Like where's the
Speaker 2: Cupid universe?
Speaker 1: Yeah, it makes you think that maybe it's not that
Speaker 1: people don't believe in Cupid, it's just that they downplay
Speaker 1: any impact that this little guy may ever have. You know,
Speaker 1: they're like, all right, it's not that there isn't a Cupid.
Speaker 1: Let's just all agree there's a Cupid out there. There's
Speaker 1: a little jubby ass baby but with a bow, with
Speaker 1: a bow and an arrow, and he's he can fly right,
Speaker 1: and I.
Speaker 2: Think he's got those little wings, like just little wings
Speaker 2: coming out of his back. Yeah.
Speaker 1: So there's probably like some restrictions on how far and
Speaker 1: how fast he can fly, but I think we can
Speaker 1: all assume he flies, we can all agree to that.
Speaker 2: But what his.
Speaker 1: Impact is in the game of love is probably very minimal,
Speaker 1: and that's why he isn't really a main player. I
Speaker 1: did do a Google search, well I didn't. Johnny did
Speaker 1: a Google search of Cupid movies, okay, and just shot
Speaker 1: him over to me, Thanks Johnny. And they're bad.
Speaker 2: Oh, let's all look awesome.
Speaker 1: The first one that popped up, it's called Cupid, and
Speaker 1: then the tagline is it'll be a bloody Valentine this year.
Speaker 1: So it's it's a horror movie. The cover of that
Speaker 1: looks like it looks like it's gol that does kind
Speaker 1: of look like him.
Speaker 2: That is a creepy ass Cupid.
Speaker 1: And then you get a series of movies that do
Speaker 1: look like like Hallmark movies, like they're obviously and it
Speaker 1: makes a lot of sense to have the one horror
Speaker 1: movie and then a whole bunch of rom coms. You've
Speaker 1: got your so Cupid, you've got playing Cupid and there's
Speaker 1: a little child in there with the with the man
Speaker 1: and the woman, So the child probably I'm just guessing
Speaker 1: that the child plays Cupid and like brings the relationship together.
Speaker 1: There's one called Cupid's Arrow. There's one called Cube e Cupid,
Speaker 1: and there's two guys laying on each other. I'm going
Speaker 1: to guess that has something to do with like online dating.
Speaker 2: That I had to look twice at that one because
Speaker 2: I was like, geez, that's that dude's already got his
Speaker 2: pants off.
Speaker 1: But yeah, Christmas Cupid. So there's there's the mashup we've
Speaker 1: been waiting for. Gabe the Cupid Dog.
Speaker 2: Wow.
Speaker 1: Yeah, because you have to have a pet like related type.
Speaker 1: Christmas Cupid zero. There's a cartoon. It's called Cupid. There's
Speaker 1: a little cartoon baby kind of looks like the Boss
Speaker 1: Baby and it says love with an attitude. There's also
Speaker 1: a Cupid two. So the Cupid Digital was so good
Speaker 1: we needed the Cupid two.
Speaker 2: So you know, all right, I'm we're looking at these movies.
Speaker 2: I think there's two things that are obviously missing. We
Speaker 2: know that you know, Cupid's got a bow and arrow, yep,
Speaker 2: And obviously this angle hasn't been tried yet, but why
Speaker 2: not make him like a badass like Archer. You know,
Speaker 2: maybe he's like a combination of like Lego Loos and
Speaker 2: like Hawkeye and he's like a a like an assassin.
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's an assassin, and he's you know, maybe somebody,
Speaker 3: maybe somebody that he was going to ask to be his.
Speaker 1: Valentine was kidnapped.
Speaker 2: Oh geez, and.
Speaker 1: Now he's got to go on the hunt to track
Speaker 1: down who kidnapped her so that he can no or
Speaker 1: this is just Cupid. This is Cupid's job. What he
Speaker 1: does is when girls are are kidnapped, then he goes,
Speaker 1: especially around Valentine's Day, that he has to go and
Speaker 1: track him down so that there Valentine has their match.
Speaker 1: Like it's a whole it's all because they get heats hired,
Speaker 1: Cuban gets hired.
Speaker 2: What if there's like.
Speaker 1: Like so dull?
Speaker 2: Does does Cupid have a crew? He's like, oh, like,
Speaker 2: you know, are there other Like well, who is Cupid's
Speaker 2: associated with? Like is he like a Greek? Like is
Speaker 2: he hanging out with Zeus or something?
Speaker 1: Cupid into Zeus? Well, just you know, is he like
Speaker 1: the god of lightning or something?
Speaker 2: Well, yeah, I mean, but he's Greek.
Speaker 1: He's Greek, You're right, which I think I get what
Speaker 1: you're saying.
Speaker 2: Or maybe it's is it possible, maybe Cupid's got like
Speaker 2: a Reverso brother m that shoots people with arrows that
Speaker 2: makes them fall out of love. Oh yeah, and so
Speaker 2: Cupid's got to fight him. Yeah, but also like correct
Speaker 2: the damage that's being done. Like wow, so you can
Speaker 2: almost have like, hey, you got this Cupid versus you know,
Speaker 2: revers So Cupid. And then you've also got a traditional
Speaker 2: rom com going on in the background, because you like
Speaker 2: rom coms. I mean, it's a it's a standard staple
Speaker 2: of like meet cute. There's some sort of misunderstanding. They
Speaker 2: both dig themselves way too deep on the misunderstanding. Yeah,
Speaker 2: then they end up getting it together and they kiss
Speaker 2: at the end. That's that's the movie. I think. You know,
Speaker 2: the laughs aren't even required, The comedy isn't even required.
Speaker 2: That is the rom com formula.
Speaker 1: Honestly, there's not really much comedy from the main characters
Speaker 1: within a rom com. It's generally from a side character
Speaker 1: that brings the comedy to the table, generally a friend
Speaker 1: of the people, usually the guy and the girl both
Speaker 1: have a friend. Those two people are funny, yeah, and
Speaker 1: they're the confidants and they kind of keep the laughs
Speaker 1: coming and they keep their head right, you know, they're
Speaker 1: just kind of like the well.
Speaker 2: They're always the one that's just like, oh you can't
Speaker 2: you know, you can't take that at face value. I mean,
Speaker 2: this is just a misunderstanding. The main character's got to
Speaker 2: be like, who are you get away from me? And
Speaker 2: it's because they got shot by reverso Cupid?
Speaker 1: What if Cupid? We have a movie rom com Cupid
Speaker 1: shoots the wrong person, then tries to correct it, shoots
Speaker 1: a completely different person, and then the two main characters
Speaker 1: become the side friend characters, and then the side characters
Speaker 1: become the main characters because they got shot by the arrows.
Speaker 1: And then the whole movie is about how those two
Speaker 1: although shot with the arrows, are falling in love but
Speaker 1: they're not compatible, but the two side friends are, and
Speaker 1: the whole movie's about making the two side friends actually
Speaker 1: fall for each other despite not getting shot with Cupid's
Speaker 1: arrow What do you think?
Speaker 2: Well, and just think about the lessons that Cupid could learn.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, Like there's got to be a moral in
Speaker 2: there for Cupid, like, hey, even when you screw up,
Speaker 2: you know, they could be put right.
Speaker 1: They can put it. Yeah, see you just you just
Speaker 1: said the whole trailer like that's the that's on the
Speaker 1: movie poster. What you just said's on the movie poster.
Speaker 1: And Cupid there's like little side because Cupid's not really
Speaker 1: actually in any of the scenes with the main characters,
Speaker 1: but they keep cutting the Cupid trying to figure out
Speaker 1: what's going on because he screwed up big time. Yeah,
Speaker 1: like he's got his own people, he's got to answer
Speaker 1: to you.
Speaker 2: So you're thinking, you're thinking Bateman for Cupid, right, man
Speaker 2: would be perfect?
Speaker 1: Yes, Bateman, buddy, I know you don't listen to the pod,
Speaker 1: but if you are this episode, please we're casting you.
Speaker 1: This is gonna be great.
Speaker 2: But I mean there's got there's gotta be a chance
Speaker 2: for an expanded.
Speaker 1: Universe here, you know, Yeah, this this could be big.
Speaker 2: I mean this, this is the Cupid with Christmas. I mean,
Speaker 2: that's that's half assed. That that's that's too easy. Yeah,
Speaker 2: that's too easy.
Speaker 1: But yes, anything could be a christ I mean if.
Speaker 2: Cupid's doing this and also you know badass archer assassin
Speaker 2: I mean Halloween's and obvious tie in. Yep. Uh, fourth
Speaker 2: of July could be a tie in.
Speaker 1: Fourth of July when Cupid celebrates America. Yeah, yeah, that.
Speaker 2: Could be big. I mean, I mean we invented the
Speaker 2: holiday case mo and case Mo.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's the thing is this kind of is.
Speaker 2: So maybe it's the you know, the Canadians are trying
Speaker 2: to take over the country and end Valentine's Day.
Speaker 1: You know, it's an American holiday obviously.
Speaker 2: And Cupid's got to go up there and you know
Speaker 2: and force on them.
Speaker 1: So the movies suck. I mean, we've agreed that the
Speaker 1: movies with Cupid sucking. We don't have like the Mage
Speaker 1: movie to say this is the Cupid movie. But on
Speaker 1: the other hand, there's a million songs with love and

Speaker 1: want to make lyrics guy? Is there any like songs
Speaker 1: about love or about Valentine's Day that you're like, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm feeling that one.
Speaker 2: Well, the Eve six, the Heart and the Blender song, the.
Speaker 1: Heart, Oh, because it's got all just not even.
Speaker 2: Okay, Harvey Danger Flagpole said it?
Speaker 1: Flag Poles up? How what do you mean how that
Speaker 1: song's kind of making a comeback.
Speaker 2: It is, well it's in that commercial.
Speaker 1: Yeah it's ah, I've seen it. And like all American
Speaker 1: rejects are back like as a band. And the first
Speaker 1: piece of music they put out back as a band
Speaker 1: was a cover of that's very song.
Speaker 3: Was it?
Speaker 1: Yeah, like they were I love that yeah, and it's
Speaker 1: it's really good.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: So they I guess we're just screwing around on the
Speaker 1: bus like playing the song like just for fun, and
Speaker 1: they're like, we should cover this, Like why don't we
Speaker 1: put it out? It's the first thing they put out
Speaker 1: back as the band. Wow, that song, that song's making comeback.
Speaker 2: See this This was my plan all long was to
Speaker 2: get to that Yeah. Yeah yeah, it's like three Degrees
Speaker 2: of love song, like you know, yeah, we're just we're
Speaker 2: just a couple of songs away.
Speaker 1: Oh speaking to three degrees. So you know the the
Speaker 1: game like seven Degrees or six degrees at Kevin Bacon
Speaker 1: or whatever. We like taught that game like to the kids, like,
Speaker 1: hey there's this thing. It's like crazy real and uh,
Speaker 1: we're just kind of explained the Kevin Bacon thing and
Speaker 1: they're like, no, that's dumb, Like that's just not even possible.
Speaker 1: So then we're taking like even young stars that would
Speaker 1: have nothing to do with Kevin Bacon in you know, today,
Speaker 1: there's new people right now we could trace back to
Speaker 1: him within even a couple of steps. Now, it's if anything,
Speaker 1: it's it's made it easier. And uh, minds were blown
Speaker 1: that day. I mean they just could not gather.
Speaker 2: The most mind blown in a positive direction. Or was
Speaker 2: this more of just like what why? What? What's wrong
Speaker 2: with you people?
Speaker 1: I think a lot of it was like how why him?
Speaker 1: How is this possible? And uh, like who who found
Speaker 1: out about this? Like just the research and the like
Speaker 1: the wanting to know of about the Kevin Bacon thing.
Speaker 2: It was.
Speaker 1: It was wild, but it's so true. I mean, you
Speaker 1: can literally find anybody you could. We traced me back
Speaker 1: to Kevin Bacon within like four steps, Like it was
Speaker 1: insanely easy to do.
Speaker 2: Uh yeah, that's what I don't remember exactly, but I
Speaker 2: remember there's a couple of those different touch points where
Speaker 2: it was just like there were so many people or
Speaker 2: so many things that intersected with him at this point
Speaker 2: that it was just a matter of how do you get.
Speaker 1: How do you get there? Yeah, but it actually ended
Speaker 1: up being fairly easy to get to pretty much anybody. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's wild.
Speaker 2: What kind of songs about love do you like?
Speaker 1: I'm a big Lately love story Taylor's version. Obviously, I'm
Speaker 1: supporting the new version and not the original because love
Speaker 1: that we know why?
Speaker 2: Right?
Speaker 1: That's obviously to swift love Shack B fifty two's classic.
Speaker 1: Did you know that B fifty two is performed on
Speaker 1: Saturday Night Live?
Speaker 2: I hope they didn't play that song.
Speaker 1: He did play that song. But what's wrong with love Shack?
Speaker 1: It's like the Monster mash It's like you have to
Speaker 1: listen to Monster Masher on Halloween. You gotta listen to
Speaker 1: love Shack.
Speaker 2: This is this is very uncomfortable because you know, I believe,
Speaker 2: I mean, love what you want to love. But love
Speaker 2: Shack is not a good.
Speaker 1: Love like love Shocks of classic California Love Tupac, Doctor Dre,
Speaker 1: How do you feel about California Love?
Speaker 2: I mean I could probably wrap it right now. I've
Speaker 2: heard that song many many times in my life.
Speaker 1: Absolute classic. You know, we were talking about like things
Speaker 1: that you know, we're tied in people now. It's like
Speaker 1: like I briefly brought up President's Day and Uh, like
Speaker 1: mattress sales. Like, there's just things you have to do
Speaker 1: for certain holidays, right, that seems to me one of them.
Speaker 1: If you run a mattress or a furniture store, you're
Speaker 1: running a sale on President's Day.
Speaker 2: Uh.
Speaker 1: I don't understand why, but everybody does it. Well at
Speaker 1: Valentine's Day, you gotta have heart shaped things.
Speaker 2: Now.
Speaker 1: Chick fil A right now has heart shaped biscuits.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, so that just means the chickens just hanging
Speaker 2: out on one side.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well yeah, so the chicken. Yeah, but do you
Speaker 1: not like that? Do you like the equal biscuit to chicken? Oh?
Speaker 2: Yea the right ratio.
Speaker 1: I don't mind it. It's kind of like eating a tenderloin,
Speaker 1: like you want it just hanging off that bitch.
Speaker 2: What are you a spicy or a regular?
Speaker 1: I can do spicy. Yeah. Actually, I have become a
Speaker 1: fan of the flavor of spicy. I have become somebody
Speaker 1: who absolutely dreads the next morning after a spicy. But
Speaker 1: I do very much enjoy the flavor of a spicy.
Speaker 2: I mean, it's worth it. It's worth it.
Speaker 1: I like to think it is. When I'm eating it.
Speaker 1: I love it, and I'm like, this is worth it,
Speaker 1: This is gonna be okay the next day. Sometimes even
Speaker 1: that very night, I do not wish I would have
Speaker 1: made the choice to eat it.
Speaker 2: And then you know you're getting older, you give it
Speaker 2: a give it about thirty six hours and you're just like,
Speaker 2: go for a spicy.
Speaker 1: Yeah why not? No? I do, I do enjoy a spicy.
Speaker 1: How about you? Do you go with the regular? You're
Speaker 1: going with the.
Speaker 2: Hot, spicy, spicy every single time. That's my favorite thing
Speaker 2: about Chick fil a Breakfast. By the way, another sponsor
Speaker 2: of the.
Speaker 1: Pod, Yeah, Chick fil A. Uh is a a restaurant
Speaker 1: that are fast Would you call it fast food?
Speaker 2: Yes?
Speaker 1: Yeah, they're a fast food chicken place that is sponsoring
Speaker 1: the pod specifically on Sunday. So if you're listening to
Speaker 1: the episode on a Sunday, your sponsor is Chick fil A.
Speaker 2: I mean, it's fast food, but sometimes it takes a
Speaker 2: while to get to the the ordering window or to
Speaker 2: the counter.
Speaker 1: No, they're super fast. You think it takes a.
Speaker 2: While, I guess maybe maybe I'm thinking more towards like
Speaker 2: the COVID stuff, when you you'd have the like the
Speaker 2: triple loop around the store type of deal.
Speaker 1: Oh they still do that, but they're ability to have
Speaker 1: multiple people working in they're very organized. Those they're and
Speaker 1: they've like it's kinda I hate to say they're like
Speaker 1: a cult because knowing you know, they're things that their
Speaker 1: leaders believe in, but it's like they're kind of cultish
Speaker 1: in their training. They are hardcore in the regimen from
Speaker 1: the beginning to end of their service, and it makes
Speaker 1: them very very good. But it's nuts that they can
Speaker 1: be that good and dedicated to the crafty's.
Speaker 2: It's impressive everything from you know posture to just you
Speaker 2: know courtesy. Yeah, like that that stuff.
Speaker 1: Yeah, they're one hundred and it's like, okay, you can
Speaker 1: train you know, the best of the best. They're like
Speaker 1: a is it Hilton. There's a hotel that their level
Speaker 1: of service is like barn On above anything anybody anywhere else.
Speaker 1: I dive Portly talks about it. He was just like this,
Speaker 1: this this place is like the peak level, high end
Speaker 1: service of hotels. But it's like then you get like
Speaker 1: another hotel chain that has like a training program as well.
Speaker 1: They also say you're gonna have elite service, but you know,
Speaker 1: it's not like you know, they're kinda kind of lazy
Speaker 1: with it. I mean you see it everywhere businesses. You
Speaker 1: go to hatch your fla. Whatever they're doing, they're doing
Speaker 1: it right.
Speaker 2: And it's kind of funny because there's another chicken place
Speaker 2: based out of Louisiana, and I've just come to realize
Speaker 2: that I will never get good service there Popeyes. Yes, yeah,
Speaker 2: I was just gonna sayt which one I've got? Like
Speaker 2: the food's great, Yeah, the food is really really good,
Speaker 2: but I just know that they're going to have like
Speaker 2: a tenth of the people in there and it's going
Speaker 2: to take me about three times longer to get my food.
Speaker 1: But you know, you just got to live with it, apparently,
Speaker 1: if you got to have the blood oath that those
Speaker 1: folks that have to get that from them.
Speaker 2: This poem is called Conqueror's Heart. It's written from the
Speaker 2: perspective of Napoleon Bonaparte. I'm tall, the tallest Frenchman, proud,
Speaker 2: but in your love I stand unbowed like Neapolitan ice cream,
Speaker 2: bold and sweet. Your love lifts me off my feet
Speaker 2: like water slides, wild and free. Together we conquer just
Speaker 2: you and me. Ridley Scott's a hack, a fool at best.
Speaker 2: His vision of me just a failed test. And no,
Speaker 2: I'm no Napoleon Dynamite. I'm the true conqueror in history's light.
Speaker 2: Your love is my victory, pure and true, a crown
Speaker 2: I wear all for you, Oh.
Speaker 1: Man, Valentine's Day. It's all about love. Things that you love, God,
Speaker 1: things you love, just in genuine life.
Speaker 2: Why are we you hit me with a lot of
Speaker 2: questions here?
Speaker 1: Oh all right, I'll tell you. I'll tell you something
Speaker 1: that I love. I'll start with I absolutely love when
Speaker 1: I make eye contact with somebody and I say hi
Speaker 1: to them and even flash a smile, and they dart
Speaker 1: their eyes away, walk directly past me and don't even
Speaker 1: say freaking.
Speaker 2: Word that that happens to you.
Speaker 1: A lot fucking love that, oh, very often.
Speaker 2: Like when you're in the store type of thing.
Speaker 1: When I'm at work, when I'm in the store, when
Speaker 1: I'm just out in public, when I'm walking around my house.
Speaker 1: There's just there's places everywhere I go it's like I
Speaker 1: can't be seen and they just eye contact. We have.
Speaker 1: Eye contact is a very like intentional, like piece of
Speaker 1: intimacy almost you know, It's it's like it's it's a
Speaker 1: strong connection. If I look you in the eye and
Speaker 1: I say hi, and you dart away and then have
Speaker 1: the nerve to walk right past me still like almost
Speaker 1: shoulder you know, brushing shoulders, Like at least go the
Speaker 1: other way.
Speaker 2: Around. Why not?
Speaker 1: I'd almost rather I'd rather them go all the way
Speaker 1: in and just be like I refuse, I refuse acknowledge
Speaker 1: you even around you. Instead they walk why buy me,
Speaker 1: that's just go all in if you're gonna ignore me.
Speaker 2: That's many decades ago, I thought that the word howdy
Speaker 2: was funny, so instead of saying hi, I just started
Speaker 2: saying howdy. I don't have any you know, I don't
Speaker 2: own a pair of cowboy boots, I don't have a
Speaker 2: cowboy hat, I don't like country music. But to this
Speaker 2: day I say howdy about eighty percent of the time
Speaker 2: when I say hi to people. So I guess I
Speaker 2: always just took that iad version and the running away
Speaker 2: to just be like, oh well, because you said yeah,
Speaker 2: they're like overwhelmed, like they don't know how to react
Speaker 2: to that.
Speaker 1: I believe you should continue to say howdy, but now
Speaker 1: start dressing like Woody.
Speaker 2: From Toy Story. I thought you were maybe gonna say
Speaker 2: add the howdie partner at let's start some conjunctions on
Speaker 2: the back.
Speaker 1: Of this partner. Yeah, I mean, if you're gonna you're
Speaker 1: going to completely put yourself in the bit, you might
Speaker 1: as well dress the part.
Speaker 2: But I'm getting getting ready to going on a trip
Speaker 2: to Europe, so of course, you know, you kind of
Speaker 2: peruse like, hey, the local norms customs. You know, you
Speaker 2: look at Reddit for articles that are entitled, hey, how
Speaker 2: do you tell like an American? How do you how
Speaker 2: do you tell that Americans over here? And one of
Speaker 2: the biggest tells that Europeans call out is making eye
Speaker 2: contact with people you don't know, saying hi, smiling at them,
Speaker 2: all this kind of stuff. It's just not done over there.
Speaker 1: That can't be real. Yeah, you're not a real you know.
Speaker 2: You don't You don't do the acknowledgment that that's a
Speaker 2: very American thing.
Speaker 1: So you're telling me I have put myself in a
Speaker 1: position of like completely throwing off anybody not American in
Speaker 1: my entire life, you know, just by simply saying hi
Speaker 1: and have an eye contact. I had no idea, Like,
Speaker 1: my my world is lily blown right now, Like I
Speaker 1: had no idea.
Speaker 2: Yeah, they're just the casual friendliness to strangers is not
Speaker 2: a thing in most countries. MM.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you're making me rethink a lot, like maybe I
Speaker 1: just need to back off a little bit.
Speaker 2: That's ah. It makes me remember a story that I
Speaker 2: had heard from somebody that was a I think they
Speaker 2: were a professor over there for like a semester, and
Speaker 2: they had gone over to a colleague's house for dinner.
Speaker 2: They had done the dinner, and when they were leaving,
Speaker 2: you know it's just like, Okay, well this was great,
Speaker 2: you don't have to do it. Do it again sometime,
Speaker 2: you know, we'll see you later. And the guy got
Speaker 2: approached the next day at work from the person that
Speaker 2: invited him over there and was just like, hey, you know,
Speaker 2: we did have a good time, but you know we can't.
Speaker 2: We're not gonna be able to do this again next week.
Speaker 2: And so you know, the guy had to explain like, no, no,
Speaker 2: I didn't you know, I wasn't making a commitment. But
Speaker 2: the guy was concerned that you just thought that, Hey,
Speaker 2: I just show up the same same day, same time,
Speaker 2: you guys, make me dinner again, like you know, we'll
Speaker 2: see you later, Like no, no, no, no, we can't spend
Speaker 2: that much time with you. They took it very literally. Wow.
Speaker 1: It's kind of the premise of the new Tim Robinson
Speaker 1: Paul redmovie That's good. You watch the trailer for that.
Speaker 1: It's kind of the same thing where he's just like, hey, yeah,
Speaker 1: we had a couple of good hangs, but we got
Speaker 1: to kind of I mean, we're not doing this again.
Speaker 1: That's funny. Man. You just don't know, like this is
Speaker 1: just all we know, right, You don't know what other
Speaker 1: people know and how they live and their cultures, and
Speaker 1: you just kind of live your life and you you
Speaker 1: just don't know how other people perceive the things you're saying.
Speaker 1: I had no clue that me saying hi smiling to
Speaker 1: people that come from other places would be like yeah,
Speaker 1: that yeah, that's very off putting. Like it just that's
Speaker 1: a pretty normal, nice like thing to do in my world. Right,
Speaker 1: That's wow, that's actually pretty funny. Another thing. I love
Speaker 1: wet socks. Oh yeah, love a good wet sock.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, what kind of wet we're talking about here?
Speaker 1: Well, if it's slightly like let's say you're it's raining outside,
Speaker 1: you've got shoes on, you've got socks on as well.
Speaker 2: Standard outerwear Yeah.
Speaker 1: And let's say you were to like step in a
Speaker 1: puddle and it just kind of encompasses your whole foot
Speaker 1: and it just kind of gets like a little soaked.
Speaker 1: Love that, yeah, soak it up. Get that squish, you
Speaker 1: know when you're when you're walking and you can just
Speaker 1: feel and hear the squish like as you're walking. Oh man,
Speaker 1: that's a feeling that you don't get very often. But
Speaker 1: when you do, it's like I'm living right now. Yeah,
Speaker 1: Like I am living. And then go home, take the
Speaker 1: shoes off. You got them wet, soaked. Sometimes they get discolored,
Speaker 1: you know, from the shoe and stuff, and when they
Speaker 1: get wet, it's pretty incredible.
Speaker 2: Don't Don't you love that too, because it's like, you know,
Speaker 2: you take them off in your entryway because obviously you
Speaker 2: don't want to get your your whole house messy, and
Speaker 2: so you can see the footprints, the wet footprints from
Speaker 2: your shoes. Yep, you take the shoes off, and then
Speaker 2: you leave wet footprints of the sock or the bare.
Speaker 1: Foot of the sock. But then if you take and
Speaker 1: then you have to peel the sock off, right and
Speaker 1: it gets heavy, you know, it's like soaked and then
Speaker 1: your foot is like this cold like it's it's kind
Speaker 1: of it's not wet anymore. Yeah, but it's got that
Speaker 1: kind of damp cold to it.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, it looks like it looks like it's been
Speaker 2: in like the bathtub for too long.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's kind of got that wrinkle, it's got that
Speaker 1: wring going. It's it's different and it's not something that
Speaker 1: you experience every day, but it's something that when it happens,
Speaker 1: oh you love it. That's love a good wet sock.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, something I didn't even think about today.
Speaker 2: I mean, it was so cold outside. It was snowing
Speaker 2: here outside, but snow it's it's too cold to melt,
Speaker 2: so no opportunity to get away sock. But what I
Speaker 2: love is when you get some snow on the ground
Speaker 2: here and you're driving along the snow on the roads
Speaker 2: and everything, and you get those guys that are just
Speaker 2: going like way too fast for conditions. Oh yeah, and
Speaker 2: they just like blaze past you. Well they're so yeah,
Speaker 2: you're you're going you know, forty in the sixty mile zone, yeah,
Speaker 2: and these guys are going like seventy.
Speaker 1: Yeah they're But those people, it's like when that happens,
Speaker 1: I don't even fear for myself, you know, on the
Speaker 1: road dangerous conditions. I don't feel unsafe. I think I'm
Speaker 1: not a good enough driver that guy yet, is it. No,
Speaker 1: that's kind of where my FLDS at.
Speaker 2: And I mean both of us, we've had correct division.
Speaker 2: You know, you've got the glasses, you know, contacts, that
Speaker 2: type of stuff. You know, I had to get laser
Speaker 2: eyes to correct mind.
Speaker 1: Yeah, just care about those you don't shoot anybody.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but uh, like I still feel like I need
Speaker 2: some work because I'm having trouble picking out the lane
Speaker 2: in the road. But those guys they know, they know,
Speaker 2: but they know exactly where they're supposed to be, and
Speaker 2: so I have to correct myself based on them. Right.
Speaker 1: They're like they're they're the epitome of the back to
Speaker 1: the future line. You know, where we're going, we don't
Speaker 1: need roads. They just kind of fly over the roads themselves,
Speaker 1: over the lanes, through the snow, the ice, the slush.
Speaker 1: They know where they're heading. Yeah, okay, they are. They're
Speaker 1: the driven people that have goals. They hit goals and
Speaker 1: then they make even harder goals.
Speaker 2: Well, you know, this whole episode is about love. What
Speaker 2: if those people driving so fast are pursuing, you know,
Speaker 2: a separated love.
Speaker 1: Well, it kind of makes sense. Valentine's always falls in
Speaker 1: the winter.
Speaker 2: You know, because we're looking at the road, right, But
Speaker 2: for all we know, Cupid could be flying ahead of
Speaker 2: that car, Yeah, guiding them on their.
Speaker 1: Way, guiding them. Oh, I didn't even think about that.
Speaker 2: That's that's the climax of the movie, right, yep. That's
Speaker 2: got to be the climate.
Speaker 1: They are getting weaved and pulled through life to get
Speaker 1: to the old some destination, which is their loved one
Speaker 1: who's leaving on an airplane, and they've got to catch
Speaker 1: them before they board the plane because if they were
Speaker 1: to board the plane, they'll never see them again.
Speaker 2: We know this.
Speaker 1: You can't just get on a fight and follow them
Speaker 1: or drive and fly, you know, follow them. This is it.
Speaker 1: If they get on that plane, it's over.
Speaker 2: Yep.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I never thought about that. Now, when I'm driving,
Speaker 1: you know, snowy conditions, bad weather, and somebody's flying through,
Speaker 1: I'm not only gonna think God, wish I could do that.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be thinking somebody found love. Yeah, that's incredible.
Speaker 2: We got to get Johnny get Bateman on the phone.
Speaker 1: Get Bateman's perfect for these movies.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm thinking. I'm thinking you can play Cupid and
Speaker 2: the main lead both.
Speaker 1: Yeah, actually genius, genius, he plays both, but they both
Speaker 1: act different? Well, can Bateman play a different way?
Speaker 2: Oh, he's got range range.
Speaker 1: Baby seems like a guy, this is who he is.
Speaker 2: Well, I mean you'd have you'd have arrested development Bateman. Yeah,
Speaker 2: who would be the Cupid obviously, because he's kind of
Speaker 2: a bumbling.
Speaker 1: Guy, kind of bumbling it and then you get.
Speaker 2: Like Ozark Bateman that oh.
Speaker 1: True, he's a little more conniving, little serious. Okay, all right,
Speaker 1: little more Yeah, I get it.
Speaker 2: Character that you can really root for, root for. Yeah,
Speaker 2: you know, you gotta really for us.
Speaker 1: I've never played a character you root for, that's for
Speaker 1: damn sure. He's a character you enjoy watching. He's a
Speaker 1: character that when he talks, you're like, yeah, I mean,
Speaker 1: I don't hate it. He's not a guy you root for.
Speaker 1: That's funny. Bateman would He's gotta play both, gotta play both. Yes,
Speaker 1: that's great. But but if Bateman plays both, Cupid in
Speaker 1: this instance can't be the chubby baby. Cupid's got to
Speaker 1: be in like a red suit, pink suit, red suit.
Speaker 2: You got Christmas on the mind? Stop thinking about Cupid Christmas?
Speaker 1: Telling me Valentine's does it ever read related to it?
Speaker 2: I think you could cgi CGI.
Speaker 1: So it's just his face, it's his head on a
Speaker 1: chubby baby. This is now CGI the budgets climbing. Not
Speaker 1: only did we cast Bateman in two roles, now we
Speaker 1: have Cgi involved well.
Speaker 2: Plus the baby is an assassin a ninja.
Speaker 1: Baatement's playing the assassin ninja. There's a whole other movie.
Speaker 1: Oh yes, there's a whole franchise of Cupid ship. I
Speaker 1: think we can do, like there's a whole there's a
Speaker 1: whole thing here.
Speaker 2: That's good, that's really good.
Speaker 1: Think about it. This is this has got some good
Speaker 1: levels to it. You know who else?
Speaker 2: I love?
Speaker 1: How when's last time you were at Target?
Speaker 2: It's been it's been a couple of weeks.
Speaker 1: Okay, so Target. You ever go back to electronics area
Speaker 1: and they always have those like cell phone salespeople, now,
Speaker 1: YE love them. Those people you walk by they're like, hey,
Speaker 1: who do you?
Speaker 3: Who do you?
Speaker 1: Who do you have for a cell phone service? Like Verizon?
Speaker 1: And they're like, oh great, I could have said anything
Speaker 1: in that moment, and they would have said, oh great,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna save you money. It doesn't matter if I
Speaker 1: have the very service they're trying to sell me. They
Speaker 1: would have said, oh great, I'm gonna save some money.
Speaker 1: I love that, the positivity, the energy they have to
Speaker 1: come save me money.
Speaker 2: But they're going to benefit you, yes, that they're gonna
Speaker 2: make your life better.
Speaker 1: Yeah, other people will do that. One time, I'm walking
Speaker 1: and they're like, hey, who do you use? And I'm like, oh,
Speaker 1: here's how it started. I said hi, and the lady's like, oh, hey,
Speaker 1: who do you use for service? And I'm like, oh, Verizon,
Speaker 1: you know, don't you? And then like, well, how do
Speaker 1: you feel about it? I love it have a Verizon
Speaker 1: like my whole life. Love them, not leave it them,
Speaker 1: like love them awesome. Here, let me ask you a question.
Speaker 1: And I'm just like, well, all right, all a sudden
Speaker 1: their spiel because sometimes it's just kind of I'm gonna
Speaker 1: like I love to hear.
Speaker 2: I don't think that's I don't think that's a nerd category.
Speaker 1: Like I think like a crazy person like a nerd is.
Speaker 2: Somebody like I like, you know, horses, Okay.
Speaker 1: You know I like sci fi and yeah, not salespeople.
Speaker 1: So then she she goes through, she puts in my stuff.
Speaker 1: It's a whole thing. And then it turns out and
Speaker 1: I remember, I have no intentions of switching my service
Speaker 1: or doing whatever she's selling me. I'm just along for
Speaker 1: the ride. So then she gets to the end and
Speaker 1: I'm just like, you know what, I think I'm good
Speaker 1: and blew her mind. Could not understand what I was doing.
Speaker 1: It's like, listen, I think what you're doing is great,
Speaker 1: because I do. I think what they're doing is fantastic.
Speaker 2: Did you make physical contact with the salesperson at this time?
Speaker 2: Did you five? Did you like pat her on the back?
Speaker 1: I did not.
Speaker 2: Was this like a serious like did you channel dat energy?
Speaker 2: She she tries, as you can channel dad energy through
Speaker 2: the hand into the.
Speaker 1: There was a thing. There was a moment in the
Speaker 1: series of questions where whatever I answered, she gave me
Speaker 1: a fist bump for so I did do the fist bump, okay,
Speaker 1: but I didn't like belittle her if that's what you're
Speaker 1: asking and pat her on the head and be like
Speaker 1: this is really good. I never did any of that.
Speaker 1: But in the end, I was like, you know what,
Speaker 1: I'm good. I love Verizon. I'm not leaving Verizon actually
Speaker 1: sponsoring this side of the podcast episode this week, so
Speaker 1: this is great and uh and I'm just like, you know,
Speaker 1: but I love what you're doing. I love your strategy.
Speaker 1: I loved everything about what's happening here.
Speaker 2: I could tell that you loved it because as you
Speaker 2: were telling me the story, you would avert your eyes
Speaker 2: like and look away. Yeah, which as we've as we've
Speaker 2: stayed it before. Yes, that's I mean, that is an
Speaker 2: approval mechanism right there. Mm hmm. It's you make eye contact,
Speaker 2: you say what you're gonna say, and then yeah, you
Speaker 2: get out of there.
Speaker 1: Yeah. I just think it's fun, you know, people doing
Speaker 1: their jobs and doing it at a high level. I
Speaker 1: did appreciate, you know, her willingness to be excited when
Speaker 1: I told her very basic things about my cell phone plan.
Speaker 1: And you know, that's just fun. Like the energy like
Speaker 1: she's going places, I guess.
Speaker 2: Was kind of my what was this person's name, no clue.
Speaker 1: No clue, didn't care. I And it's not that I
Speaker 1: don't care that she has a name. I'm excited that
Speaker 1: she has a name.
Speaker 2: Names are important.
Speaker 1: Names are important. Everyone loves to hear their name. I
Speaker 1: just didn't care to remember it beyond that moment, I guess,
Speaker 1: so I moved on.
Speaker 2: It's it's kind of you know, it's amazing as you
Speaker 2: just talk about these these chances for people to share,
Speaker 2: share who they actually are and really get that out
Speaker 2: in the world. And so I love like my apartment,
Speaker 2: my gym. Yeah, there I'll go, I'll do some treadmill,
Speaker 2: you know, I'll do some different stuff, you know, maybe
Speaker 2: like listen to a podcast or you know, do something
Speaker 2: while I'm in there. And what I love is when
Speaker 2: people in there use the TVs and then turn the
Speaker 2: volume up way really really loud so that they can
Speaker 2: hear it over the treadmill.
Speaker 1: Yeah, because it's loud. Yeah, especially if they're running. Yeah
Speaker 1: they need so what's happening?
Speaker 2: Then I get to hear what they're listening to instead
Speaker 2: of what I'm listening to. Yes, So again you have
Speaker 2: this just great like melting pot of like I wonder
Speaker 2: what they're going to watch? Have you ever got I
Speaker 2: wonder what we're going to watch?
Speaker 1: Have you ever considered that in a world where you
Speaker 1: have earbuds or headphones in and you could listen to
Speaker 1: your own thing that somebody might be more important than you.
Speaker 1: That's where in that situation, that's how I would feel.
Speaker 1: I would be like, you know what, you have a
Speaker 1: good point, sir. I know you didn't ask me how
Speaker 1: I felt about this, but good point.
Speaker 2: You know. Actually not I think about it. It's very
Speaker 2: selfish of me to keep you know, the podcast to myself. Yeah,
Speaker 2: so I think next time I go to the gym,
Speaker 2: I need to bring, you know, my Bluetooth speaker in there,
Speaker 2: and when they have that, I'll blast this episode. Yes,
Speaker 2: that way they know how much I appreciate that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think how fun it would be there. They
Speaker 1: turn the volume up. It's loud, right, you can't hear
Speaker 1: your own thing, and uh, you like turn off your
Speaker 1: whatever you're listening to. You start intently watching and listening
Speaker 1: to what they're but now you're commenting on and talking
Speaker 1: to them about it. Yeah, and be like, oh, that's great,
Speaker 1: Oh they got the wrong one, and just start spouting
Speaker 1: out like things about it, like if you're gonna turn
Speaker 1: it on for everybody? Yeah, one like if you're gonna
Speaker 1: do that, if you're going to take over the room,
Speaker 1: let's all get it on it, like, let's go.
Speaker 2: That would that would be a great plan. But I'm
Speaker 2: one of the kind of people that if I'm looking
Speaker 2: at something on the treadmill that's to my left, I'm
Speaker 2: gonna fall off that thing.
Speaker 1: Oh really, yeah, you have to look to the right.
Speaker 2: I'm one of the people that they have those bars
Speaker 2: on the side of the treadmill to like keep me
Speaker 2: in place because of my attention strayed to the right
Speaker 2: of the left all unconsciously start walking that direction.
Speaker 1: You're a guy that if it had a seat belt,
Speaker 1: you'd wear it on the treadmill.
Speaker 2: I have clipped the emergency stop line to to my
Speaker 2: to my shorts before.
Speaker 1: How fast do you go get them?
Speaker 2: Good? Four miles an hour?
Speaker 1: Okay, all right, that's brisk, that's okay. So it's not
Speaker 1: like you're just yeah, yeah, bumbling around like you're you're going, yeah,
Speaker 1: I've got places to be. Yeah, you really do? How long?
Speaker 1: How long do you go at that rate? The four
Speaker 1: miles part? How long are you going on the treadmill?
Speaker 2: Well, I mean recently I've been doing four.
Speaker 1: Miles a day for okay, so pretty good. Go.
Speaker 2: I got this Europe trip and the one thing about Europe. Yeah,
Speaker 2: you're walking, You're on your feet, You're walking the entire time.
Speaker 2: So I got to make sure that, you know, the
Speaker 2: heart and the legs are willing.
Speaker 1: So you're you're training and working out for purpose, yeah
Speaker 1: and not just for yeah, for health well, and.
Speaker 2: I want to be ready to because you know, another
Speaker 2: thing that I love is when I'm at the airport
Speaker 2: and there are people at the airport that don't know
Speaker 2: what they're doing, where they're gone, or how to get there.
Speaker 1: What are you talking about?
Speaker 2: So you know, yeah, just the people that you know,
Speaker 2: the people that don't have TSA pre check that are
Speaker 2: going through and we got to take our shoes off. Now,
Speaker 2: we got to take our coats off. Like they show
Speaker 2: up to the front the metal detectors and they don't
Speaker 2: have everything ready and so they've got all the questions.
Speaker 2: Like the TSA officers have to repeat the instructions, you know,
Speaker 2: like every like twenty seconds. I got to say, like
Speaker 2: all shoes in the bin. Like these are the people
Speaker 2: that didn't hear it the first twenty times that they
Speaker 2: said shoes in the bin, and now are at the
Speaker 2: front of the line and now have their shoes still
Speaker 2: on their feet. Yeah, and it's not going to be
Speaker 2: a quick process for them to get those shoes up there.
Speaker 1: All right, I could. Here's the thing, like I love
Speaker 1: I love those people too, the people who are oblivious
Speaker 1: to the world, right, the people who have flown multiple
Speaker 1: times and since two thousand and one, and they understand
Speaker 1: the restrictions and the process, right, but they're shocked every
Speaker 1: time that they get there, which then slows it down.
Speaker 1: That's the that's the things pre check. How fast does
Speaker 1: that actually get you through the line faster?
Speaker 2: I mean Omaha here, Yeah, I don't think I've ever
Speaker 2: flown out of Omaha and had to take longer than
Speaker 2: three minutes for me to get from standing there waiting
Speaker 2: for the guy to call me up and going through.
Speaker 1: The So it's clutch, like it's it's an absolute.
Speaker 2: It used to be a challenge to me when my
Speaker 2: folks would drop me off when I'd be up here
Speaker 2: to visit, to see how fast I could go from
Speaker 2: their car to my gate. Wow, And I think that
Speaker 2: was my record was like three minutes and like fifteen
Speaker 2: seconds one time.
Speaker 1: But that doesn't give you, well, I guess that gives
Speaker 1: you more time than to hit the airport bar.
Speaker 2: Yep, yep, there's one thing I love. It's an eighteen
Speaker 2: dollars beer. Yeah, but I get to look out the
Speaker 2: window and see airplane.
Speaker 1: Correct, That's I was just about to say, It's not
Speaker 1: about the price of the beer. It's about the atmosphere
Speaker 1: and the experience of it, and that's what you're paying for. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's there's just that's just like you're not gonna pay
Speaker 1: Like I bought two beers at the Creighton basketball game
Speaker 1: last night, and it was like twenty two dollars. I'm
Speaker 1: I didn't bat an eye. No, not because I have
Speaker 1: all this money to buy beers, but because I knew
Speaker 1: I was paying for the experience in the atmosphere and
Speaker 1: where I was at, Like, I know, I could complain
Speaker 1: about it, but then what does that do? Give me
Speaker 1: no beer? So that's just kind of where I was at.
Speaker 2: That's the Uh. When I used to go to the
Speaker 2: Braves games in Atlanta, yeh, I'd buy the cheapest ticket
Speaker 2: just to get in. Yeah you know, and just be like,
Speaker 2: I'm not spending more than thirty bucks to go to
Speaker 2: this game, right If there's not a thirty dollars ticket
Speaker 2: that I'm just not gonna go right because.
Speaker 1: You know you're gonna buy beers.
Speaker 2: But I would buy that thirty dollars ticket, or I'd
Speaker 2: buy that ten dollars ticket, and then i'd have, you know,
Speaker 2: three beers on top of that. That would be fifty
Speaker 2: to sixty bucks.
Speaker 1: But now I've paid the price of what that expensive
Speaker 1: ticket might have been. Yea, yeah, that's that's just kind
Speaker 1: of how it is.
Speaker 2: I do.
Speaker 1: Appreciate to the airport bar, and like that situation. You
Speaker 1: get through, like you were saying, you get through the
Speaker 1: people you love, which is the people who slowed down
Speaker 1: the process. You get through them, and it's kind of
Speaker 1: like your reward then is to have an ice cold
Speaker 1: beer yep, while you're waiting in a situation where everybody's
Speaker 1: waiting in tense about being there on time. Everybody's in
Speaker 1: the same boat. Now, everybody is in that moment of
Speaker 1: am I gonna get where I need to go on time?
Speaker 1: Do I have time for this? Or am I killing time?
Speaker 1: Like everybody's in that same boat. It's kind of it's
Speaker 1: kind of nice.
Speaker 2: I love, you know, having that a little bit of
Speaker 2: that arrogance at the airport, Like, yeah, I've flown a
Speaker 2: few times. Yeah, yeah, my flight's not for you know,
Speaker 2: it's another thirty minutes, but I know that you know,
Speaker 2: fifteen of that's going to be them letting you know,
Speaker 2: first class in yep. So yeah, I'll take another beer.
Speaker 1: Right, you know what's up?
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean I'm not beyond you know, getting a
Speaker 2: little flustered. Then when it gets to about five minutes
Speaker 2: out and it's just like I need that check. Yeah, now,
Speaker 2: all right, picture of this in your head. Opening scene
Speaker 2: of the movie, Bateman is at the airport bar orders
Speaker 2: his second beer. He's got an empty rate in front
Speaker 2: of him, or is that second beer? And in the
Speaker 2: in the action of him reaching over to grab the beer,
Speaker 2: the bottle slips in his hand. Well, Cupid is off
Speaker 2: to the left shooting the arrow, and the bottle, you know,
Speaker 2: wobbling on the table is just enough to hit Cupid's
Speaker 2: arrow off and make it hit the wrong person.
Speaker 1: So he goes for the second one. It ricochets off
Speaker 1: the bottle.
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, so somebody else hit somebody else, and so
Speaker 2: then you have this symmetry in the movie of the
Speaker 2: first scene is Bateman at the bar by himself obviously, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: And then at the end, you've got Cupid guying Bateman's
Speaker 2: car to the airport to you know, reconnect him, reunite
Speaker 2: him with his true love.
Speaker 1: And there's our story.
Speaker 2: Finn.
Speaker 1: Oh, this this thing is going to be so good. Yeah,
Speaker 1: this is gonna be like an all time Valentine's Day
Speaker 1: theme movie. It's gonna be an all time Cupid movie,
Speaker 1: and it's gonna be the first of its kind. And
Speaker 1: I think because like Valentine's Date, there's an actual movie called
Speaker 1: Valentine's Day. Ashton Kutcher stars in it. There's this like
Speaker 1: thear theorizing of Cupid, you know, in the air, like
Speaker 1: Cubid's in the air, you know, but there's not an
Speaker 1: actual guy.
Speaker 2: Well there's difference. There's not just a guy Bateman.
Speaker 1: God, I love Bateman. Is it too late to get
Speaker 1: Bateman on this episode to like kind of pitch it
Speaker 1: talk about it?
Speaker 2: I'm pretty sure I told Johnny about thirty minutes ago.
Speaker 1: Johnny, it's not, Uh, it's not that hard to get
Speaker 1: a guy. He's a he's got one of the largest
Speaker 1: podcasts in the world.
Speaker 2: Yeah, right now, a lot of time on his hands. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I mean, what other reason would you spend that much
Speaker 2: time to a podcast.
Speaker 1: Anybody podcasting has time on their hands, and you it
Speaker 1: would be great, you know, to uh just kind.
Speaker 2: Of spitball some things with him.
Speaker 1: That would be fun. This is a poem from the
Speaker 1: perspective of Cisco called Thongs and Love. She walks in
Speaker 1: thongs shining bright, got my heart racing, feels so right.
Speaker 1: It's not just the thong, it's the way she moves her.
Speaker 1: Love's got me grooving. I can't lose Thongs on the floor,
Speaker 1: love in the air. I'm all about the rhythm. But
Speaker 1: she's my care The thongs are sweet, but love's the key.
Speaker 1: Cisco heart beats for you and me. So let's dance.
Speaker 1: Let the though swing. This loves the realist thing. It's
Speaker 1: not just about what you wear. It's the love we
Speaker 1: got beyond. Compare man Valentine's Day. We learned a lot today. Yeah,
Speaker 1: we learned a lot today.
Speaker 2: Reason to celebrate that second Friday in February.
Speaker 1: Yeah, the second Friday of February, February fourteenth, every single year.
Speaker 1: So well, hold on the second Friday of February every year,
Speaker 1: February fourteenth, Valentine's Day. That's how you remember it. That's
Speaker 1: how you book it, that's how you remember it. That's
Speaker 1: founded in Kansas City, Missouri by an irishman by an
Speaker 1: irishman in nineteen ten that ran a company that nineteen
Speaker 1: fifty four eventually became the Hallmark Company. So this is
Speaker 1: the type of we might get community noted.
Speaker 2: I think what I'm looking forward to is one hundred
Speaker 2: years from now when somebody's doing there podcast. Yeah, and
Speaker 2: they're like Cupid one it, Yes, the O G Cupid movie,
Speaker 2: Let's spawn sixty sequels.
Speaker 1: Sixty sequels, all starring Jason Bateman.
Speaker 2: Yep. Ye, that's that's gonna be awesome. God, I've already
Speaker 2: got you know, Cupid four.
Speaker 1: Well, you're you're in this deep four.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so we got we got Cupid Bateman yep, we
Speaker 2: got Patrick Bateman the character, and then we got.
Speaker 1: Patrick Bateman from American Psycho.
Speaker 2: All right, so we got Bateman the baby. Then okay,
Speaker 2: and I'm thinking Bateman plays all three.
Speaker 1: Bait so Bateman pet so hold on? Is Jason Bateman
Speaker 1: playing the character Patrick Bateman.
Speaker 3: In the.
Speaker 1: Third one?
Speaker 2: A lot has happened? Uh, you know Cupid became a
Speaker 2: ninja in the second movie. Yeah, when he was trying
Speaker 2: to be a matchmaker. Yeap for Patrick Bateman. For Patrick Bateman,
Speaker 2: I mean he knows his kink. Yeah, I love it.
Speaker 1: That's incredible. Oh man, that's good stuff. Well that's uh,
Speaker 1: you know what, somebody somewhere in Hollywood's gonna listen to
Speaker 1: this episode and they're gonna make him a lot of
Speaker 1: money because we didn't drade Park the ship.
