I had to know. 0:00:43.320 --> 0:00:46.680 Here's the deal, everyone. They're bringing in breakfast for us 0:00:46.840 --> 0:00:49.520 one day a week now, which is very nice.

And when they bring in bagels, 0:00:56.840 --> 0:01:01.200 they are not bringing in everything bagels. It's true, man, 0:01:01.480 --> 0:01:04.280 it's a bomb. It's the king of all bagel. It's 0:01:04.280 --> 0:01:08.400 the quintessential bagel. It's the perfect bagel. It's the everything bagel. God, 0:01:08.520 --> 0:01:10.679 I need to talk to somebody about that. Surely you 0:01:10.720 --> 0:01:13.640 have some pull with the bagel team. I mean in 0:01:13.640 --> 0:01:15.240 in in the meantime at the end of the day, 0:01:15.280 --> 0:01:18.800 there's like seven whole week bagels just sitting there. Yeah, 0:01:18.800 --> 0:01:24.759 and cinnamon raising. Nobody likes. Someone wants that ship, all right. 0:01:25.280 --> 0:01:27.039 So what do you got, Chuck? What you got? Well? 0:01:27.080 --> 0:01:31.400 I got a couple of announcements little uh business housekeeping. 0:01:32.000 --> 0:01:36.479 Just got back from California. Went out there too, sort 0:01:36.520 --> 0:01:39.520 of a little mini vacation, which I don't take many vacations, 0:01:40.000 --> 0:01:45.319 many vacations, so in this case, I took a mini vacation. Uh. 0:01:45.360 --> 0:01:49.200 My friend p J. I got married to a lovely 0:01:50.360 --> 0:01:54.160 woman named Anna, who I just met at the wedding. 0:01:54.200 --> 0:01:56.480 I do not know Anna very well, but she seems great. 0:01:57.000 --> 0:01:58.920 And PJ is an old friend of mine from California. 0:01:59.840 --> 0:02:04.080 And my l a days and uh seated at my table. 0:02:04.080 --> 0:02:05.720 This is in Santa Barbara. So Emily and I went 0:02:05.760 --> 0:02:09.240 to wine Country. Beautiful. We rode horses through a vineyard. 0:02:09.440 --> 0:02:12.880 Dude for really nice mini vaca. Man, it was great 0:02:13.400 --> 0:02:16.200 state at a super swank place in Santa Barbara, and 0:02:16.240 --> 0:02:18.200 like laid by the pool, and I was like, man, 0:02:18.280 --> 0:02:21.639 I am, I'm gonna check out at least on some 0:02:21.680 --> 0:02:23.280 of these days. I had to do a little work, 0:02:23.320 --> 0:02:30.280 but I really made myself just lay there and look 0:02:30.320 --> 0:02:33.799 at the pigeons by the pool, the famous pigeons of 0:02:33.840 --> 0:02:37.600 Santa Barbara. No one point. I lay there for like 0:02:37.639 --> 0:02:40.040 an hour just watching these pigeons jumping around in the pool. 0:02:40.440 --> 0:02:42.760 Is that the same as the swallows of Capistrano. I 0:02:42.800 --> 0:02:48.160 think so pigeons of Santa Barbara. They poop Cabernet. Uh. So, 0:02:48.600 --> 0:02:50.600 long story short. The reason I'm mentioning this on this 0:02:50.639 --> 0:02:54.040 show is because um p J is a is a 0:02:54.040 --> 0:02:58.040 connected l a dude and seated at my wedding table, 0:02:58.160 --> 0:03:04.800 at my dinner table or will Forte. Yes, Noel's choked 0:03:04.800 --> 0:03:06.280 on his bag. Oh my god, A lot of him 0:03:06.320 --> 0:03:10.400 so much I do too. And Sean Gunn, uh the 0:03:10.440 --> 0:03:15.560 actor and a an agent from I see him like 0:03:15.600 --> 0:03:18.760 a you know, like a like an agent who a 0:03:18.760 --> 0:03:21.000 big shot, a very funny guy. And I was like, man, 0:03:21.080 --> 0:03:23.119 you're not the talent like he. I'm sure he's done 0:03:23.160 --> 0:03:25.280 like stand up in his life. He's very funny. He 0:03:25.360 --> 0:03:29.320 told a really great story about Yoko Ono and being 0:03:29.320 --> 0:03:32.880 in John Lennon Yoko's apartment, which I bet that was 0:03:33.400 --> 0:03:35.800 the site to be held. It was pretty great. So, 0:03:35.920 --> 0:03:38.760 long story short, again, I'm gonna look for these people 0:03:38.760 --> 0:03:41.080 on the show. Sean Gunn actually owns a house here 0:03:41.120 --> 0:03:44.560 in Atlanta because he shoots here a lot, and I've 0:03:44.560 --> 0:03:48.040 already corresponded with him. He's coming in toot sweet and 0:03:48.240 --> 0:03:50.160 uh Forte, I'm gonna have to get hooked up with 0:03:50.280 --> 0:03:52.680 for a later date in l A Um, but I 0:03:52.800 --> 0:03:54.600 did make contact with the agent, and I thought it'd 0:03:54.640 --> 0:03:57.480 be thought listeners would get a kick out of hearing 0:03:57.520 --> 0:03:59.480 about what an agent does and what his job is 0:03:59.520 --> 0:04:01.160 like on a day today basis, So I'm gonna get 0:04:01.240 --> 0:04:03.520 him on my next l A trip to but um, 0:04:03.720 --> 0:04:05.880 I'm happy to report that Will Forte is a wonderful 0:04:06.080 --> 0:04:09.440 human being. And as he went around introducing himself to 0:04:09.480 --> 0:04:11.720 the table, like walked around and shook hands with everyone, 0:04:12.560 --> 0:04:15.240 everyone was just saying Hi, Hi, And I said, listen, man, 0:04:15.280 --> 0:04:17.599 I'm a big fan. I know that's probably not cool 0:04:17.640 --> 0:04:20.800 to say, uh, seated at your wedding table, but I'm 0:04:20.839 --> 0:04:23.159 not gonna be a problem, don't worry. And he came 0:04:23.240 --> 0:04:25.440 around a minute later and grabbed me and he said, 0:04:25.440 --> 0:04:28.000 hey man, he said, I really appreciate that. He said, 0:04:28.080 --> 0:04:31.160 it's it's never not cool to tell someone that you 0:04:31.200 --> 0:04:33.080 like what they do, and uh, that means a lot 0:04:33.120 --> 0:04:35.479 to me. Thank you. What a sweet guy. How about that? 0:04:36.040 --> 0:04:38.440 He was a very sweet guy. He seems like, yeah, 0:04:38.600 --> 0:04:41.479 just the best. So that was fun. I had a 0:04:41.480 --> 0:04:47.040 great time man partying with Will Forte. Uh also Sean 0:04:47.080 --> 0:04:49.520 guns related to James Gunn right, Yeah, it's his brother, 0:04:50.320 --> 0:04:52.960 and um Sean, I mean Shohn sent an actor for 0:04:53.000 --> 0:04:55.000 a long time. He was in The Gilmore Girls years ago. 0:04:55.120 --> 0:04:57.920 He was in Guardians. He was part of the crew 0:04:57.960 --> 0:05:01.680 of sort of redneck Hinchman's right, that's funny. He was great. Yeah, 0:05:02.200 --> 0:05:04.080 and he's been a lot of stuff. But Shan Shawn 0:05:04.120 --> 0:05:06.520 is a great guy too, and he lives in Atlanta 0:05:06.520 --> 0:05:09.920 now kind of part time, which is awesome. Uh So, No, 0:05:10.360 --> 0:05:14.720 the casting papers was very divisive. Really, Yeah, a lot 0:05:14.760 --> 0:05:17.520 of people hated it. I think that was partially on me. 0:05:17.560 --> 0:05:19.880 I think I set it up a little too uh 0:05:19.960 --> 0:05:24.080 salacious lee like oh get ready, and it really was 0:05:24.120 --> 0:05:26.800 just a little more of a fun inside peak. Then 0:05:27.080 --> 0:05:29.159 I think I trumped it up a little too much. 0:05:29.920 --> 0:05:33.960 As uh, um, are you saying people on the internet 0:05:34.000 --> 0:05:37.440 were displeased with something, Chuck? Is that what you're saying? 0:05:37.440 --> 0:05:39.600 How doesn't make sense? Yeah, but I'm I'm partially to 0:05:39.640 --> 0:05:42.000 blame here, so um So, a lot of people did 0:05:42.120 --> 0:05:44.680 enjoy it, So if you didn't like it, I'm sorry. 0:05:44.839 --> 0:05:47.840 We're just we're doing the best we can here, just 0:05:48.000 --> 0:05:51.279 trying to throw out some different content. Uh and what 0:05:51.360 --> 0:05:55.040 else did I have in here? Oh? Nol. Well a 0:05:55.160 --> 0:05:58.280 quick quick thanks to Jamie Hart. Remember when I was 0:05:58.279 --> 0:06:01.520 talking to we're talking about the poker card up sleeve. 0:06:02.600 --> 0:06:04.440 That was Solo that I was thinking of. Remember, I 0:06:04.480 --> 0:06:06.560 couldn't think of the movie that I had just seen. Well, 0:06:06.560 --> 0:06:10.760 that's because that movie was the most forgettable movie. Oh 0:06:11.080 --> 0:06:13.720 it is pretty forgettable. I mean like it was gone 0:06:13.760 --> 0:06:16.520 from my head the moment I walked out of the theater. Yeah, 0:06:16.560 --> 0:06:18.640 you're like, Han Solo, who even is that? Even? Is 0:06:18.680 --> 0:06:21.960 that Harrison Ford? So, by the way I saw when 0:06:22.000 --> 0:06:23.320 I was in l A.

Nostalgia kicks in and we're like, 0:08:02.440 --> 0:08:05.000 could we live here again? And then usually by the 0:08:05.080 --> 0:08:06.800 end of the trip A like, no, of course not. 0:08:07.240 --> 0:08:10.840 It's just nice to come back, all right.

I got a couple of 0:08:16.640 --> 0:08:28.239 recommendations for you. Okay, we'll talk all right, so, uh 0:08:28.280 --> 0:08:31.760 solo Poker Trope. Thank you to Jamie Hart on the 0:08:31.800 --> 0:08:36.120 Internet for uh naming that movie, and also shout out 0:08:36.120 --> 0:08:39.680 to Don Morris and Zack Pointer for also chiming in 0:08:39.800 --> 0:08:42.840 and yelling in their cards at me. Supposedly it's so low, 0:08:42.960 --> 0:08:45.160 is what you're thinking. Even though it wasn't Poker, that 0:08:45.200 --> 0:08:48.160 was definitely the movie I was thinking. Uh, Now, Noel, 0:08:48.240 --> 0:08:51.760 I would like briefly, um for you and I to 0:08:51.800 --> 0:08:55.520 talk about a little something that we went to, although 0:08:55.520 --> 0:09:01.240 not together. The Wonderful Wonderful U to be a tour now, Yeah, 0:09:01.400 --> 0:09:04.000 of David Byrne Well. I guess we should start off 0:09:04.000 --> 0:09:08.800 by talking about the Jonathan Demi concert film Stop Making Sense, 0:09:09.400 --> 0:09:11.720 which we've talked about before. Um, I mean, one of 0:09:11.720 --> 0:09:13.160 the one of the greats. It's one of the greats. 0:09:13.679 --> 0:09:17.160 The show itself lends itself so well to that kind 0:09:17.160 --> 0:09:19.800 of treatment because it it progresses over time. It starts 0:09:19.800 --> 0:09:21.839 with David Burne walking on stage with like a boombox 0:09:22.360 --> 0:09:24.280 and the guitar and a psycho killer, and then they 0:09:24.360 --> 0:09:28.200 gradually build the company, the set or whatever, the players, 0:09:28.920 --> 0:09:32.720 and then they'd incorporate all these amazing choreography and lighting 0:09:32.760 --> 0:09:35.520 and just really kind of cool practical effects in a 0:09:35.640 --> 0:09:39.160 theater kind of setting. This show we saw, I think 0:09:39.600 --> 0:09:41.320 took a lot of that stuff like kind of to 0:09:41.360 --> 0:09:43.240 the next level. Like it had a lot of like 0:09:43.360 --> 0:09:46.440 nods to Stop Making Sense, like some of the lighting effects, 0:09:46.440 --> 0:09:49.679 like with the low uh can lights that create these 0:09:49.720 --> 0:09:52.280 huge shadows on the wall and all that kind of stuff. 0:09:52.320 --> 0:09:54.520 But I feel like it was sort of like an 0:09:54.640 --> 0:09:57.679 escalation of the ideas that he had on Stopped Making sense, 0:09:58.040 --> 0:10:00.600 and I really hope that somebody filmed because I've been 0:10:00.600 --> 0:10:02.120 on the tour for so long. I can't imagine they 0:10:02.120 --> 0:10:04.560 didn't do a really good, high quality. Well that's what 0:10:04.920 --> 0:10:07.959 I told Emily. Right after. I was like, somebody please 0:10:08.080 --> 0:10:09.880 tell me that this is also going to be a 0:10:09.880 --> 0:10:12.760 concert film and like the next great concert film from 0:10:12.840 --> 0:10:15.560 David Byrne. I mean, what what, how would you even 0:10:15.559 --> 0:10:17.880 how would you describe it? Chuck? Well, here's the deal. 0:10:18.000 --> 0:10:21.960 Let's let's just back up a sec. Um we Well, 0:10:22.080 --> 0:10:25.200 first of all, I we both had great seats. Um, 0:10:25.320 --> 0:10:29.360 you and Ramsey were what like fifth row behind or 0:10:29.400 --> 0:10:31.680 something like that, to the to the side. Uh. When 0:10:31.679 --> 0:10:34.439 I logged on the ticket Master to um get tickets, 0:10:34.480 --> 0:10:36.840 like I always do when I can, I log in 0:10:36.880 --> 0:10:39.959 and write it, you know, ten like, and I'm waiting 0:10:39.960 --> 0:10:42.200 and right at ten o'clock I try and get tickets. 0:10:42.640 --> 0:10:45.360 Sometimes I get completely shut out and don't get tickets 0:10:45.360 --> 0:10:50.120 at all. This time, I got literally the two best seats, 0:10:50.520 --> 0:10:53.199 like front row, right in the middle. It just popped 0:10:53.280 --> 0:10:55.679 up and I was like, Wow, that's never happened to 0:10:55.720 --> 0:10:59.559 me in my life. So it was an interesting experience 0:10:59.559 --> 0:11:00.960 on the front row. I talked to you a little 0:11:01.000 --> 0:11:06.959 bit about it. I think like ideally your seats between 0:11:07.080 --> 0:11:10.559 five and fifteen rows is kind of the best because 0:11:10.640 --> 0:11:14.360 you get that full stage picture and that perspective. But 0:11:15.240 --> 0:11:17.280 first row is interesting to do every now and then 0:11:17.320 --> 0:11:21.720 because there is an intensity to feeling the drums and 0:11:21.760 --> 0:11:24.800 you're like literally moving your face when they're right in 0:11:24.800 --> 0:11:29.560 front of you. Um. At one point he literally locked 0:11:29.559 --> 0:11:32.880 eyes with Emily and kind of cracked and laugh and 0:11:32.920 --> 0:11:36.080 smile during a serious sort of dance party. Was all serious, 0:11:36.559 --> 0:11:38.040 and I looked right at her and I went, did 0:11:38.080 --> 0:11:40.040 you just and she went, we just had a moment. 0:11:41.840 --> 0:11:44.559 And then at the end of the show, Uh, they 0:11:44.559 --> 0:11:49.520 were doing the great protest song from Janelle Monet. UM 0:11:49.720 --> 0:11:53.640 say their names, very powerful moment. Audience is all into it. 0:11:53.800 --> 0:11:58.439 And in Atlanta, of course, there's this redneck who, in 0:11:58.520 --> 0:12:02.560 a sad show of defiance it's stomps out right past 0:12:02.640 --> 0:12:06.280 me at the end, sets his full draft beer on 0:12:06.400 --> 0:12:09.120 stage right in front of David Byrne and leaves, Well, 0:12:09.240 --> 0:12:11.559 that guy's a sucker because that beer was like fifteen dollars. 0:12:11.880 --> 0:12:13.880 Well that too, And this is the guy who had 0:12:13.880 --> 0:12:17.120 been taking pictures and having fun. But no, if you're 0:12:17.120 --> 0:12:21.319 protesting police brutality, he's fucking out of there. So I 0:12:21.320 --> 0:12:25.480 immediately they look at me, and I look at them 0:12:25.520 --> 0:12:29.600 on the stage they're performing and what the lead guitar player, 0:12:29.600 --> 0:12:32.480 Angie Swan, gives me a little nod. I immediately grabbed 0:12:32.480 --> 0:12:34.360 the beer and put it down, and she and the 0:12:34.440 --> 0:12:36.320 lady from Tuniards who was up there with him at 0:12:36.320 --> 0:12:39.240 the end, mouth thank you to me as they're singing, 0:12:39.280 --> 0:12:41.439 and it was just like it was just one of 0:12:41.480 --> 0:12:43.720 those things. Man, you know it's funny. Is our another 0:12:44.080 --> 0:12:46.760 buddy of ours who we work with, Alex Williams, he 0:12:46.800 --> 0:12:48.760 was there and he was up in the balcony with 0:12:48.800 --> 0:12:51.280 his dad and he saw that moment go down. He 0:12:51.320 --> 0:12:55.040 described it. He said, he saw you doing he knew 0:12:55.040 --> 0:12:58.839 it was you. That's funny. I gotta go talk to him. 0:12:59.720 --> 0:13:03.520 So anyway, um, just let's quickly described the setup for 0:13:03.559 --> 0:13:05.360 people who were not lucky enough to go to the 0:13:05.480 --> 0:13:10.600 Utopia tour. What was the central sort of magic trick 0:13:10.640 --> 0:13:13.000 of this show? No, Well, it's like, so there's thirteen 0:13:13.000 --> 0:13:15.600 people I want to stay on stage. Twelve is that 0:13:15.640 --> 0:13:18.920 including David? Because you have to have six on one 0:13:18.960 --> 0:13:23.320 side and success very perfectly symmetrical, so it's like a 0:13:23.480 --> 0:13:26.760 marching band um instead of a drum kit. You've got 0:13:26.800 --> 0:13:29.640 like a guy playing a snare drum and a guy 0:13:29.640 --> 0:13:32.000 playing with a rack of like percussion toys and like 0:13:32.240 --> 0:13:34.520 cow bells and woodblocks and stuff. Then you got a 0:13:34.520 --> 0:13:37.120 guy with a bass drum who only plays the bass 0:13:37.200 --> 0:13:40.920 drum parts. But between them you have this incredibly elaborate 0:13:41.040 --> 0:13:43.400 drum set up. And these guys are all like six 0:13:43.760 --> 0:13:46.400 season some of them I think are Brazilian actually a 0:13:46.480 --> 0:13:50.920 con room more and just season pros percussion geniuses. Then 0:13:50.920 --> 0:13:55.000 you got like a bass player, um, guitar player, some 0:13:55.080 --> 0:13:58.600 guys playing like a talking drum, and then they're with yes, 0:13:58.640 --> 0:14:01.320 a synth player, like one guy with a little portable stand, 0:14:01.320 --> 0:14:03.160 and they all have their instruments strapped to them and 0:14:03.160 --> 0:14:07.160 they're completely untethered and mobile and passing in and out 0:14:07.200 --> 0:14:09.800 from each other like doing so there's nothing on stage. 0:14:10.080 --> 0:14:13.079 I don't think that's clear that the stage was surrounded 0:14:13.120 --> 0:14:17.560 on three sides by fifty foot kind of beated chains. 0:14:17.600 --> 0:14:20.360 They were silver chains, I couldn't tell from yeah, And 0:14:20.440 --> 0:14:22.640 that's all in the stage they had they rolled out. 0:14:22.680 --> 0:14:24.960 I thought they painted the stage but they rolled out 0:14:24.960 --> 0:14:28.960 a very light gray um, like linoleum or something, so 0:14:29.120 --> 0:14:33.120 it was just this monochromatic silvery white. And there are 0:14:33.200 --> 0:14:37.080 no speakers, no microphones that you can see, no equipment, 0:14:37.120 --> 0:14:41.920 no stands, nothing but people wearing their instruments. It's a 0:14:42.000 --> 0:14:46.280 digitally it's a digital age show basically. And then and 0:14:46.320 --> 0:14:50.720 they have no shoes on. They're all singing, every matching 0:14:50.800 --> 0:14:53.000 and gray suits, all matching grays, but they all sang. 0:14:53.040 --> 0:14:56.040 So anytime they had these big like coral moments and 0:14:56.200 --> 0:14:58.680 one would be singing and it was so great, and um, 0:14:58.720 --> 0:15:00.800 you know, every song had d of like some kind 0:15:00.840 --> 0:15:03.600 of like theatrical conceit. Like there's one where he's sort 0:15:03.640 --> 0:15:06.240 of like singing to this television it's on the wall. 0:15:06.280 --> 0:15:08.240 It's like this kind of like weird blue vacuum tube 0:15:08.240 --> 0:15:10.320 looking thing, and I don't know, man, it was just 0:15:10.400 --> 0:15:14.000 kind of like somewhere between theater performance art and like 0:15:14.080 --> 0:15:17.600 the best rock show you've ever been and like Broadway, 0:15:17.800 --> 0:15:20.800 it was all right there. Um he well again like 0:15:20.840 --> 0:15:24.400 stop making sense. He begins the show alone and on stage, 0:15:24.520 --> 0:15:29.560 sitting at a desk, singing to a large brain prop. Yeah, 0:15:29.680 --> 0:15:33.400 and one by one and and if you knew nothing 0:15:33.440 --> 0:15:35.920 about the show and you were just there watching it unfold. 0:15:36.000 --> 0:15:39.360 One by one, these people come through the chains wearing 0:15:39.360 --> 0:15:42.840 their ship, and it dawns on you like this is 0:15:42.880 --> 0:15:46.440 the show. We're not gonna see equipment, We're We're just 0:15:46.480 --> 0:15:52.600 going to see this highly choreographed uh Art experience. And 0:15:53.000 --> 0:15:57.560 David Byrne in his mid sixties, dude, bringing this type 0:15:57.560 --> 0:16:04.840 of creativity is just mind blowing. Lee uh inspiring. Oh man, 0:16:04.920 --> 0:16:07.760 It's like he's he's in his mid sixties, dude, and 0:16:07.800 --> 0:16:11.400 he sounds amazing. He looked great and just like he's 0:16:11.440 --> 0:16:15.000 one of the great American treasures. I agree, and he honestly, 0:16:15.240 --> 0:16:17.400 his voice sounds better than it ever has. His energy 0:16:17.480 --> 0:16:20.240 level was through the roof um and just the whole 0:16:20.360 --> 0:16:23.280 design of the show and everything about it was just 0:16:23.640 --> 0:16:26.680 every sound you heard came from those players on stage. 0:16:26.680 --> 0:16:28.920 And he makes a point of stopping the show midway 0:16:28.920 --> 0:16:31.440 through and kind of like proving that that's the case 0:16:31.480 --> 0:16:33.960 by building a song one piece at a time. All 0:16:34.000 --> 0:16:37.800 these guys uh and and and women are a huge, huge, 0:16:37.840 --> 0:16:43.080 huge band, very diverse. It's wonderful. H I got the 0:16:43.080 --> 0:16:46.040 only guitar pick I think of that at the very end, 0:16:46.120 --> 0:16:51.080 Angie Swan, his guitar player, who just shreds. She tossed 0:16:51.080 --> 0:16:53.520 the pick up and the lights went out the second 0:16:53.640 --> 0:16:56.200 she did that, and the lights came back up. It 0:16:56.240 --> 0:16:58.400 was like a blink. And I think I was the 0:16:58.400 --> 0:17:00.840 only person who saw it, and I was immediately looking 0:17:01.200 --> 0:17:02.480 and it was just sitting on the floor in front 0:17:02.480 --> 0:17:04.920 of this guy next to me. Snatched it up, it said, 0:17:05.000 --> 0:17:07.080 David Byrne on one side, are Swan on the other. 0:17:07.680 --> 0:17:09.199 And Emily was like, where'd you get that? I was like, 0:17:09.320 --> 0:17:13.240 she through it. No one else noticed, and um man, 0:17:13.240 --> 0:17:15.800 it was just really something else. I would that's the 0:17:15.880 --> 0:17:17.800 kind of show you're like, you're mad that you can't 0:17:18.240 --> 0:17:20.960 see it again, like three or four more times. Yeah, 0:17:21.119 --> 0:17:23.679 like for the first for the first time again. Yeah, no, 0:17:23.720 --> 0:17:26.520 it was pretty special. Definitely top three for me. Uh 0:17:26.640 --> 0:17:29.040 so good easy that it's worth discussing here on a 0:17:29.160 --> 0:17:33.439 movie related well, you know again, he has one of 0:17:33.440 --> 0:17:36.240 the great movie concert documentaries of all time under his belt. 0:17:36.840 --> 0:17:40.520 That's just Utopia Tours got to be number two. I mean, 0:17:40.560 --> 0:17:44.040 I think it's better. I think in some ways, you know, 0:17:44.240 --> 0:17:47.280 it had all of the same like energy and and 0:17:47.280 --> 0:17:50.840 and and like creativity as stopped making sense, but it 0:17:50.920 --> 0:17:54.280 honestly took it to the next logical place, made it 0:17:54.320 --> 0:17:57.760 more theatrical, but not in like a pretentious, annoying way. 0:17:57.880 --> 0:18:01.240 It's just full of like fun and joy and yeah, man, 0:18:01.600 --> 0:18:04.399 I needed it too. It was amazing. I can't I 0:18:04.400 --> 0:18:07.239 can't imagine he can top this. What do you do 0:18:07.280 --> 0:18:10.240 after that? I don't know, man, probably don't tour for 0:18:10.280 --> 0:18:13.119 a very long time. All right, maybe you know what 0:18:13.160 --> 0:18:15.359 I'll do. I took some great front row picks. They 0:18:15.359 --> 0:18:17.800 said no cameras, and I am a not a camera 0:18:17.920 --> 0:18:21.439 at concert guy. They said no cameras. Yeah, everyone had 0:18:21.520 --> 0:18:24.400 everyone everyone we had their I know, but here's the deal. 0:18:24.400 --> 0:18:26.720 When I see that request, I really try to abide. 0:18:27.320 --> 0:18:29.639 But I here's what I did. I waited till I 0:18:29.680 --> 0:18:32.439 knew that they could not see me, because what I 0:18:32.440 --> 0:18:34.040 definitely didn't want to do was be on the front 0:18:34.119 --> 0:18:36.080 row and have David Byrne like looking at me taking 0:18:36.119 --> 0:18:38.720 a photo. So the one part where they had that 0:18:38.760 --> 0:18:41.280 big they wheeled out that huge spotlight in their face, 0:18:41.680 --> 0:18:43.800 they couldn't see anything. So I took a few great 0:18:43.800 --> 0:18:46.399 pictures there and then I just waited till like no 0:18:46.440 --> 0:18:49.800 one was around, and tried to be tasteful with my opportunities, 0:18:50.280 --> 0:18:53.080 so I'll post some of those on the movie crush page. 0:18:53.840 --> 0:18:56.440 Such a fun night, I thought during once in a lifetime. 0:18:56.480 --> 0:18:58.920 I literally thought I was on ecstasy and I wasn't 0:18:59.560 --> 0:19:02.080 or a couple. It was so overwhelming, like I was 0:19:02.320 --> 0:19:05.359 crying but not crying. There was just like water coming 0:19:05.359 --> 0:19:09.320 out of my eyes from exuberance over art. I was 0:19:09.359 --> 0:19:12.120 just kind of like, yeah, thinking I'm making a big, 0:19:12.160 --> 0:19:14.960 big face right now. It's a big, happy fucking face. 0:19:15.680 --> 0:19:24.800 Oh man, we had so much fun. I'm gonna go 0:19:24.880 --> 0:19:29.639 over to the movie Crushers page because h our buddy, 0:19:29.680 --> 0:19:33.600 Gabriel Cortez actually posted a really great social studies post 0:19:33.960 --> 0:19:36.359 and I'm just gonna I'm just gonna read that.

During the twenty 0:21:54.440 --> 0:21:58.720
