Speaker 1: my wall myself without measuring it. Doesn't it look perfectly square?
Speaker 1: It looks perfectly square. And what you should do, knowls
Speaker 1: Um is you should take a picture of that and
Speaker 1: then post it when we release this bad Boy tomorrow.
Speaker 1: You got it. In fact, maybe that can serve as
Speaker 1: the artwork for this episode, okay, or it could just
Speaker 1: be like my weird kind of must hair head, uh,

Speaker 1: the background. But well we'll we'll work shop it. Yeah, absolutely, chuck. Um,

Speaker 1: there and some some Christmas string lights there. It's very nice.
Speaker 1: It's very nice. You know. It retrofitted the band room,
Speaker 1: which was just a matter of sort of rearranging some
Speaker 1: things to form a folk corner. Yeah yeah, um, actually
Speaker 1: not a folk corner. It's a real corner and then
Speaker 1: a folk corner. It sort of looks like you're in
Speaker 1: a booth at a restaurant. Oh God, wouldn't that be nice,
Speaker 1: wouldn't that be Yeah? Sorry, remember remember restaurant, Remember restaurant,
Speaker 1: Remember fun Remember boy, have you had the thing that's
Speaker 1: happened yet? Where you're watching like television and you see
Speaker 1: some people congregating or shaking hands and you're like, oh, oh,
Speaker 1: that's weird. But yeah, yeah I was. I've been watching
Speaker 1: Cheers a lot instead of going to my neighborhood bar.
Speaker 1: I've been watching a lot of Chumper Food. It's kind
Speaker 1: of nice. It's a very pleasant show, don't you think, Well,
Speaker 1: you know, you want to go where everyone knows your name? No,
Speaker 1: they do, they do, and you know their names too.
Speaker 1: There's there's what's his name, There's Ted Danson, There's Sam Malona. Sam,
Speaker 1: who's the skinny nerd guy with the glasses who's always
Speaker 1: getting into mischief. Uh, skinny nerd guy. Yeah, there was
Speaker 1: like he were suspenders. Um, there was an episode where
Speaker 1: he like did a gambling scheme. Like he's sort of
Speaker 1: like a trickster. I don't know. So is he a
Speaker 1: a very occasional guest? He's an occasional guest. Is his
Speaker 1: name Harry the guy from a night Court? That is
Speaker 1: exactly who it is, Yeah, Harry. What's his name? Harry Styles? Yep, Harry. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's that totally that guy. Have you seen his version
Speaker 1: of Sledgehammer by Peter Gabriel no, but I bet it's awesome.
Speaker 1: I like his solo record. I don't know anything about
Speaker 1: the guy, but it was fucking great. He did it.
Speaker 1: He was in one direction. He's a boy band guy.
Speaker 1: That's I know. That's why I gave him no considerate
Speaker 1: thought before the other day. Well, I mean, look at
Speaker 1: Justin timber Lake, you know, I mean his solo career
Speaker 1: was pretty interesting. J T broke out, didn't he? He
Speaker 1: really really did. And you know it's funny, is uh
Speaker 1: what's it? Lance Bass, you know, who is one of
Speaker 1: the in sinkers. He does a podcast for the network
Speaker 1: with Anna Hostne from l l A. They do like,
Speaker 1: uh like like will you accept this rose? Which is
Speaker 1: I guess it is like the Bachelor or something a
Speaker 1: Bachelor recap show. They do a Bachelor recap show with
Speaker 1: Lance Bass. Yeah, wow, this is I didn't know that.
Speaker 1: And that's on our very own Network's on our this
Speaker 1: very network. You know. No. I was about to say,
Speaker 1: you can't buy that kind of free advertising, but you can.
Speaker 1: You could buy advertising on movie Crush. That would cost
Speaker 1: about twelve dollars. Yeah, these days passive ads through the roof. Wait,
Speaker 1: do you know something I don't know, No, I'm kidding.
Speaker 1: I just you know, no, No, I I don't know.
Speaker 1: I I just wonder, right, like I mean, with with
Speaker 1: with with buying stuff and restaurants and things kind of
Speaker 1: taking a dive. I wonder if ads are gonna take
Speaker 1: a dive to I don't know, I don't know, I'm
Speaker 1: being I'm being alarmist. Well, no, no, every industry is
Speaker 1: going to take a hit, including our very I mean,
Speaker 1: podcasting is great in a way because it doesn't require
Speaker 1: a crew, you can move fast, you can do it
Speaker 1: like this remotely. Um, we're really set up for this.
Speaker 1: But oh yeah, advertising is going to take a hit
Speaker 1: across the board for everything, I'm sure. But again, you know,
Speaker 1: the overhead for podcasting is so low and we're able
Speaker 1: to keep going. And honestly, the thing that I take
Speaker 1: some comfort in is the fact that doing this ship
Speaker 1: is giving people some comfort. Am I hearing from people
Speaker 1: on social like you know, we've heard from in the
Speaker 1: past just saying like thanks for keeping me saying during
Speaker 1: my you know, assembly line job or truck driving long
Speaker 1: haul truck driving job. But now more than ever, it's
Speaker 1: like thanks for being there and sharing your you know
Speaker 1: that you're in the same boat, because we are absolutely
Speaker 1: in the same boat as literally everyone else, the great equalizer.
Speaker 1: But I'm just glad that boat is not a cruise ship.
Speaker 1: No ship, you know what I'm saying. Can you imagine
Speaker 1: any worse and being stuck on a cruise ship? Know
Speaker 1: that that even before everything kind of got super crazy,
Speaker 1: that whole story about the folks that were quarantined on
Speaker 1: that ship for like was it like a month and
Speaker 1: they had like food slid to them, like under the
Speaker 1: door and things. It just it's a nightmare fuel And
Speaker 1: now that's all of us, basically, I mean, luckily I can.
Speaker 1: I'm a pretty good cook, so I don't have like
Speaker 1: a you know, an attendant that's sliding me, uh you know,
Speaker 1: like m R. E s under my through a slot
Speaker 1: in my door. But well, well I'm happy to share
Speaker 1: my attendant. Yeah, send them over to you. Uh, you've
Speaker 1: got a Valet Chuck podcast of Valet. I have been
Speaker 1: wearing the apron again though, which is good because I
Speaker 1: used to cook a lot, so this has been kind
Speaker 1: of nice. Yeah, what have you been cooking? I've been
Speaker 1: grilling some stuff. I've been cooking some uh pasta meals.
Speaker 1: Nothing too fancy yet because I can't just because you know,
Speaker 1: when I cooked, I would go out the day of
Speaker 1: and get the groceries I needed for that meal only.
Speaker 1: So now I'm I'm piecing together what we have in
Speaker 1: the house. Sure, um, I probably have spent about five
Speaker 1: hundred dollars on groceries in the last two weeks, in
Speaker 1: various little spurts. You know, I'll go like and get
Speaker 1: what I what I need, and then go back and
Speaker 1: get more. I realize it's sort of a bit of
Speaker 1: a stress Habit allows me to get out of the house,
Speaker 1: and somehow stocking up on things is comforting in some way.
Speaker 1: So I kind of tried to back off on that
Speaker 1: little because now I don't have room in my freezer
Speaker 1: or a pantry. But I've been doing a lot of
Speaker 1: soups and stews and then I'll and then I'll freeze
Speaker 1: a bunch of it, which is nice for later, so
Speaker 1: you don't just eat it all in one night. And
Speaker 1: then I've been doing a lot of Indian food, like
Speaker 1: big batches make a good curry. I should I should
Speaker 1: whip that out. It's a fun one and it's a
Speaker 1: good way to use like vegetables that you have left
Speaker 1: over in the fridge to keep them from going bad
Speaker 1: or whatever. Anything in there. Yeah, throw it, throw it
Speaker 1: all in there, and the little Grandma sala a little
Speaker 1: ginger ginger lasts forever to ginger roote. You just keep
Speaker 1: it around, man, so long. What's the one spice that
Speaker 1: tumeric turmeric? Yeah, yeah, good, get that on your fingers, though,
Speaker 1: you're gonna be yellow for days, totally yep, like that
Speaker 1: yellow bastard in the White House. Just kidding, he's great. Know,
Speaker 1: we're not gonna we don't want to get politically, we don't,
Speaker 1: I know, we don't. I just I will just say
Speaker 1: brief talk about shifting the bed man. I mean, like
Speaker 1: it's I feel like we're in a third world country
Speaker 1: with all this ship like a you know, it's just
Speaker 1: the way it's handled, it's just been. And then then
Speaker 1: the whole like double speak of like no, no, we
Speaker 1: had an under control from the start. Everything's fine, everything's fine.
Speaker 1: That's been the worst part. I mean, I think I
Speaker 1: don't lay this at the feet of one person. I
Speaker 1: think all of our leaders have failed this. Uh, the
Speaker 1: whole nature of our system. And if there's a silver
Speaker 1: lining to this, and we talked about this. We did
Speaker 1: this stuff that Don't want you to Know episode yesterday
Speaker 1: about this an update because we did a COVID nineteen
Speaker 1: episode before the ship truly hit the fan that was
Speaker 1: just kind of a primer on like what it's all about,
Speaker 1: you know where, And then we did one yesterday that
Speaker 1: you know, knowing what we know now being where we
Speaker 1: are now, and we did a like worst case scenario,
Speaker 1: and then we did kind of like a uh, what's
Speaker 1: the word, like sort of a silver lining, Yeah, silver lining,
Speaker 1: and and then the big takeaway was this is kind
Speaker 1: of exposing the rot at the core of a lot
Speaker 1: of institutions in this country. And like the I don't know,
Speaker 1: I know, no one wants to hear this soapbux ship,
Speaker 1: but I think there is gonna be some change. Uh.
Speaker 1: There can't not be, you know, so I think so
Speaker 1: uh it is Uh, it would be very much like
Speaker 1: America to forget everything and go right back to normal.
Speaker 1: But what I think is going to happen is it's
Speaker 1: gonna be normal for a long long time. I think
Speaker 1: it will be waves of this and periods of self
Speaker 1: distancing instituted over the next couple of years, probably really
Speaker 1: good Atlantic article that went, Yeah, that was the one
Speaker 1: that's a man. That's a good read. It's sobering, but
Speaker 1: it's but again, it's not all doom and gloom like.
Speaker 1: It's very measured and very thoughtful. I recommend you guys
Speaker 1: check that one out and to give you a little
Speaker 1: bit of cold water in the face. But also, you know,
Speaker 1: there's some some hope there of course, you know. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and I think there's gonna be a lot of good
Speaker 1: art uh and um entrepreneurialism that comes out of this.
Speaker 1: I mean, this is the time, people, this is the
Speaker 1: time to work on that novel or to write that script,
Speaker 1: or to make that music, or to knit that sweater. Uh.
Speaker 1: You know, if you have time on your hands right now.
Speaker 1: I don't know, a lot of people are busy with
Speaker 1: other thing things, especially parents. I know that drill, but
Speaker 1: use the time you got. This is our is our advice.
Speaker 1: I've been rediscovering the joy of playing guitar and making
Speaker 1: ambient kind of soundscapes on the guitar um really really
Speaker 1: like you know, it's just something I've been so busy
Speaker 1: and not taking a step back and realizing, oh, you know,
Speaker 1: how how how little time I spend doing things for me.
Speaker 1: They're actually like things that I used to really totally
Speaker 1: a huge part of my life and and I've kind
Speaker 1: of like let them lapse and now I'm you know,
Speaker 1: it's nice. It's nice to be able to do that.
Speaker 1: We were texting, uh was it last night about that?
Speaker 1: And I've been using you know, we got I have
Speaker 1: this little home recording setup that I've never really played
Speaker 1: around with for two years, um for situations like this,
Speaker 1: and so, uh, since it was just out of the case.
Speaker 1: That's all it takes in all sometimes is it's out
Speaker 1: of the closet and sitting on a desk. I was
Speaker 1: up the other night doing little drinking and it started
Speaker 1: start recording some music and I was just going around
Speaker 1: and finding songs that I know and love and trying
Speaker 1: to do a little who's to spend on it and
Speaker 1: adding layers of harmonies and things. And uh, it's just
Speaker 1: past four hours and I was totally forgot about everything
Speaker 1: else but that. Yeah, you've got a little isotope spire
Speaker 1: that's kind of a mobile multitrack. Think it's got some
Speaker 1: effects in it. It's nice. It's a really fun little toy.
Speaker 1: Um more than a toy. I mean, it's a tool.
Speaker 1: It's but it's like battery power. You can be or
Speaker 1: you can plug it in. It's great for wonderful, you know,
Speaker 1: just laying down some demos. It's really really cool device.
Speaker 1: And I was, uh, I didn't have this idea and
Speaker 1: like decided to set everything up. I just had it
Speaker 1: in my office upstairs. So it wasn't in the basement studio,
Speaker 1: wasn't using these great microphones. I just did it in
Speaker 1: my room with the microphone built into the spire and
Speaker 1: it sounded okay. It's got a great little stereo pair
Speaker 1: Mike set up on it, and um, it's it's it's
Speaker 1: made for that for sure. Like it's it's definitely you
Speaker 1: know using uh it's meant to be minimal and allowing
Speaker 1: you just kind of like to take the inspiration and
Speaker 1: just run with it. It's awesome, Chuck. I'm making a
Speaker 1: lot of like weird noise soundscapes, and you know, I'm
Speaker 1: into the synthy stuf. But I've been getting away from
Speaker 1: this since and getting back into picking up a stringed instrument,
Speaker 1: you know, uh, letting the letting them strings ring. So
Speaker 1: I have a lot of fun. How your fingers feeling
Speaker 1: on the old left hand. They're good, They're they're they're
Speaker 1: coming back, and my my chops are coming back. Like
Speaker 1: I've been doing scales, and I've just been kind of like,
Speaker 1: you know, like I made a beat in Ableton and
Speaker 1: just like and lay down a baseline and just like
Speaker 1: jammed with it for like fucking an hour and just
Speaker 1: just like you know, noodling around with delay and doing
Speaker 1: kind of like psychedelic e smashing pumpkins kind of leads,
Speaker 1: you know, like I can I can uh smell the
Speaker 1: bong hits wafting from your window. All right, everybody, we're
Speaker 1: gonna get it started in earnest. Uh. This is We're
Speaker 1: just gonna do a couple of little social studies social
Speaker 1: studies movie crush, then finish it off with the stream
Speaker 1: nets because imagine everyone is streaming everything right now. But
Speaker 1: all the other day I just posted and this is
Speaker 1: an even movie related but I took a hot shower
Speaker 1: after a long walk with my family, and I brought
Speaker 1: a beer into the shower, which is one of my
Speaker 1: favorite things to do. And I just it is at
Speaker 1: times like these, you really, at least I hope people
Speaker 1: are able to really um, really enjoy those simple, small
Speaker 1: pleasures in life more than ever before. And I sat
Speaker 1: in that steamy shower drinking that cold beer and almost
Speaker 1: started crying. In fact, I might have started crying, to
Speaker 1: be honest, And it was wonderful. So I asked the
Speaker 1: movie crushers, I said, a cold beer in a hot
Speaker 1: shower is a true gift. What is one of your
Speaker 1: simple life pleasures? And I'm gonna read through some of
Speaker 1: these because it just it brought a smile to my
Speaker 1: face reading these from other people. I can't wait to hear.
Speaker 1: Do you have one goal that you can bark out? Yeah?
Speaker 1: I mean I really love cooking. I really love the
Speaker 1: zenness of preparing a good meal and like prepping everything
Speaker 1: in advance and having everything kind of laid out in
Speaker 1: an organized way. Uh yeah, well no, more and more
Speaker 1: just the pre zen plus right huh uh you know,
Speaker 1: because then when you have it all laid out, you
Speaker 1: can just toss it all in and just go like
Speaker 1: like spring into action with the actual cook of it.
Speaker 1: So I really there's something about that that's very calming
Speaker 1: to me and uh and really gets me in a
Speaker 1: nice headspace. That's great. No, And that is meson plus
Speaker 1: by the way, what you were just describing what you
Speaker 1: put it on the plate though, No, no, no, no no.
Speaker 1: Meson plus is everything in its place. So it's all
Speaker 1: your your prep and having everything all laid out perfectly
Speaker 1: and chopped up. And that's called your mes on plus.
Speaker 1: It's a pre cooking ritual. Not ritual, but sort of
Speaker 1: rule of thumb. Very good, you learned something new every day,
Speaker 1: I know. No, that was a little a moose bush
Speaker 1: for you, my friend. I love it. It's very delicious,
Speaker 1: all right. So we're gonna start off with Aaron Snell here,
Speaker 1: he says, because this is right at my alley. In fact,
Speaker 1: we've got a little good discussion going on this post
Speaker 1: sit down, turn off the lights, put on headphones, and
Speaker 1: listen to an album front to back the headphone albums,
Speaker 1: he said. Kid A by Radiohead is one of his
Speaker 1: favorite ones. That's a good headphon er. That used to
Speaker 1: be my ritual. No, when I would get in a
Speaker 1: record by one of my favorite bands upon release, I
Speaker 1: would carve out two hours at the end of the
Speaker 1: day too to listen to it at night by myself
Speaker 1: in a darkened room on headphones. Did you have the
Speaker 1: big like beefy headphones, you know, like the seventies style.
Speaker 1: I'm picturing you like sitting on the floor, cross legged
Speaker 1: with them plugged into your tuner and just your hands
Speaker 1: on the side of the headphones, just vibing out. Is
Speaker 1: that exactly how it went? Well? Yeah, But I mean
Speaker 1: I'm talking about as an adult. This wasn't a childhood ritual.
Speaker 1: So no, no, I know, I'm still still the aesthetic colds. True,
Speaker 1: it does? It does. I love my over ear headphones.
Speaker 1: That's the only way to go, although I am using
Speaker 1: an earbud now just because I gotta hear my own voice.
Speaker 1: It's convenient. How are you can't You can't hear yourself
Speaker 1: can you? Oh? Yeah? Yeah? How do you do that?
Speaker 1: Through sky So I'm well, I I've got I'm actually
Speaker 1: recording UM into my computer, so I'm recording into Adobe Audition,
Speaker 1: which you could also do if you want to. And
Speaker 1: then I you can set Skype so I have audio interface,
Speaker 1: so my mic is going into my computer, and then
Speaker 1: you can set the input on Skype to be my mike.
Speaker 1: So I'm hearing myself through Skype and you're also hearing
Speaker 1: me through this Mike see you're actually that's that's me. Well,
Speaker 1: ship I am. I have one ear button so I
Speaker 1: can hear you and here myself, so I have to
Speaker 1: well we can, we can, we can troubleshoot this chuck.
Speaker 1: We can. It's a work in progress, all right, all right, No,
Speaker 1: I just took a picture of the screen because I
Speaker 1: want to show people. Yeah, you're you're sweet little set up.
Speaker 1: Thanks man? Alright, what yeah, so let's continue here. Colin
Speaker 1: Jones says, I don't want to be weird. I have
Speaker 1: a number of feet things. Number one walking around barefoot
Speaker 1: on a freshly cleaned house floor. Number two heated floors
Speaker 1: in the winter. Yes, sir, what is that? Is that
Speaker 1: a thing they do like in the where it's very cold? Uh? Floors?
Speaker 1: I actually know when we read it our house I have.
Speaker 1: We have heated floors in our master bath now in
Speaker 1: our sunroom, because our master bath lore is hollow underneath.
Speaker 1: There's like a big space underneath in our house, and
Speaker 1: so you know, that makes things colder, like the bridge effect,
Speaker 1: like a bridge wal ice over because there's nothing underneath it.
Speaker 1: So the upshot of that is our bathroom floor is
Speaker 1: the most frozen cold ass thing on planet Earth. Yep,
Speaker 1: so we sprung for the old heated floor in the
Speaker 1: bathroom and it's been a life changer. I bet that's nice.
Speaker 1: That's great. Uh. And then Colin Jones finishes up at
Speaker 1: this with st shearing, sheer ling, sheer ling lined slippers.
Speaker 1: Okay on a chilly day, cheer ling. So is that
Speaker 1: like a lamb's wool thing or something. I hear the
Speaker 1: words sheer I'm assuming it's some sort of wool. I
Speaker 1: don't know, I think so, Okay, right, this guy must
Speaker 1: be from like the Midwest. These are these are all
Speaker 1: things that are very alien to me. Well, or like
Speaker 1: looking Ireland or something also possible. Mike Selling Jr. Says
Speaker 1: first ten seconds after crawling into bed, blankets still settling
Speaker 1: around you and the day's stresses easing off. That's nice.
Speaker 1: The muscles start to relax and for that brief moment
Speaker 1: nothing else matters. Wow, it's nice. Janet Duffy fitting a
Speaker 1: piece and a puzzle. First sip of coffee after taking
Speaker 1: the dogs for a walk and commenting on the movie
Speaker 1: Crushers page and having someone like it. That's very nice.
Speaker 1: I would think you'd take your coffee before you walk
Speaker 1: your dogs. That's interesting. It's a very specific ritual. I
Speaker 1: like it. Yeah, so all some people don't want to
Speaker 1: get all caffeinated, or some people have to pee right
Speaker 1: after they drink coffee. It's a good point to make, Chuck.
Speaker 1: Becky Harris Trainers says, definitely time with my kids. Uh.
Speaker 1: Andre Shampoo says I told my friends about shower beers
Speaker 1: and they had never heard of it. Oh my god,
Speaker 1: people get on that. It's the best. Do you ever
Speaker 1: drink a beer in the shower? And no, I've never
Speaker 1: had a beer in the shower, Chuck, do you drink beer?
Speaker 1: I like beer. I like a good beer. Yeah. Well,
Speaker 1: next time you have a moment, take a hot shower
Speaker 1: and take a cold beer in there. The water gets
Speaker 1: isn't it get water? E though? The water would get
Speaker 1: in the beer? And no, well, I mean a little bit.
Speaker 1: You gotta be smart. You can't just hold it under
Speaker 1: the stream. You gotta take a little side sip, kind
Speaker 1: of lean out truck him and then take it side second.
Speaker 1: Here comes the side sip sip. All right. We had
Speaker 1: to sing at some point, we did. Old pal Vanessa
Speaker 1: Lopez says, the smell of the ocean a cup of
Speaker 1: tea in my favorite mug and the way it fits
Speaker 1: in my hand so perfectly. Vanessa, please never break that mug.
Speaker 1: I was about to say, I try to get too
Speaker 1: attached to mugs ephemeral, you know, yeah, I respect. I
Speaker 1: used to use loose sunglasses until I bought nice sunglasses
Speaker 1: and now, and then I found that i'd take better
Speaker 1: care of them. You know, I did too, and then
Speaker 1: I lost my nice sunglasses too. So well, you know,
Speaker 1: you need to go back to the CBS. So oh
Speaker 1: I am, oh I have chuck, I I this is
Speaker 1: why I can't have nice things. Uh, Karen Slump, he
Speaker 1: is one of our old friends, says The smell in
Speaker 1: the air after a summer rain so earthy, indistinct totally.
Speaker 1: I went for a little walk yesterday and uh, the
Speaker 1: neighbors have like this whole big yard crew doing a
Speaker 1: big old grass cutting and they were just like freshly cut,
Speaker 1: kind of squashy grass clippings everywhere, and it was so
Speaker 1: strong it almost made me like like it was almost
Speaker 1: too much. She was almost overwhelming, but it was very pleasant. Um.
Speaker 1: That's that's sort of the mixed bag sort of sad
Speaker 1: thing about this whole thing. Is like the weather is
Speaker 1: just now getting really beautiful here in Georgia and spring
Speaker 1: is springing and are you are you taking walks though?
Speaker 1: Like I mean they were allowed to take walks, right,
Speaker 1: and that's all. It's My whole neighborhood is walking man
Speaker 1: like never before. And everyone is being very respectful and
Speaker 1: crossing the street or being cool. But everyone's talking and waving.
Speaker 1: It's got a very communal field. It's nice, I think.
Speaker 1: So I went to a park with a friend of mine. Um,
Speaker 1: we you know, we kept our distance, but there were
Speaker 1: these there was this little circle of old ladies, um,
Speaker 1: sitting in their lawn shares, uh, perfectly six ft apart,
Speaker 1: having like a little social distancing party and playing music
Speaker 1: out of this one old lady's house. And Cabbage Town
Speaker 1: the really funky part of Atlanta where a lot of
Speaker 1: old stoner ladies live apparently. So yeah, totally. Uh let
Speaker 1: me see, I'll have to move there one day when
Speaker 1: I'm an old stoner lady. Uh Sabrina Grogan says. Seeing
Speaker 1: that first tiny version of a vegetable in the garden
Speaker 1: then watching it grow every day, it's lovely. Yeah, we
Speaker 1: just Ramsey are lovely, super producer built me uh and
Speaker 1: my my roommate Frank a planner box, really really nice
Speaker 1: cedar planner box, and then delivered it and put it
Speaker 1: together with us. Uh and and now we have tons
Speaker 1: of like little we kind of we didn't we didn't
Speaker 1: plan them from seed. We kind of got the mid
Speaker 1: the little baby ones, so they're already a little bit
Speaker 1: of growth there. But yeah, we've got a nice apocalypse
Speaker 1: garden going. Sweet. I love it. Joyce, I'm sorry, Joss
Speaker 1: Burns says, surrendering to the overwhelming lust I feel when
Speaker 1: I smell a nectarine then biting into it. She said,
Speaker 1: I'm fruit toast intolerant and fruit makes me sick. So
Speaker 1: it's literally a forbidden fruit thing. But it's nectarines are
Speaker 1: worth it. Wow, be careful, Yeah, seriously, let me see here.
Speaker 1: Paul Morris loves fitting a fresh three D printed object
Speaker 1: that he is designed to interface with, something that I
Speaker 1: have measured in real life and having it fit perfectly.
Speaker 1: Oh sure I can see that that. That's satisfying to
Speaker 1: me just hearing about it. Yeah. Absolutely. Charles Martinaker is
Speaker 1: one of our old pals. Here is very sweet. Rolling
Speaker 1: over to my wife's side of the bed on the
Speaker 1: rare occasion that she's up before me. Something about the
Speaker 1: hint of her relaxes me back to sleep. Oh that's nice.
Speaker 1: Our oldest the pals, Rebecca Robe and big shout out
Speaker 1: to Rebecca, who was uh, who was doing great. She's
Speaker 1: been going through um some some struggles here with with
Speaker 1: a medical issue, and she's on the other side of
Speaker 1: things and we could not be more ecstatic about that,
Speaker 1: she says, having her back scratched and a good cigar.
Speaker 1: M hmmm, and a good cigar. I love that Robes
Speaker 1: is a cigar smoker. Interesting, I've never had a cigar
Speaker 1: never in your life. I'm not like a nice one,
Speaker 1: you know. You know. We should smoke a cigar one day.
Speaker 1: I would do that with you, Chuck, I would. I
Speaker 1: don't smoke cigars very much at all. Maybe it happens
Speaker 1: once a year when someone I know is an aficionado, uh,
Speaker 1: and they will share one with me, and I never
Speaker 1: refuse it because it's a it's more about the the
Speaker 1: communal spirit. Oh yeah, it's like the breaking of bread
Speaker 1: almost with another human. I can see that. It's very nice.
Speaker 1: Let me see here, Christina Han going back to sleep
Speaker 1: after a significant other's alarm clock wakes you up snuggled
Speaker 1: with the knowledge that you have no alarm today. That's great,
Speaker 1: you know. I found don't even have to set an
Speaker 1: alarm anymore. It's pretty cool, dude. I haven't set an
Speaker 1: alarm for years. Yeah. My brain just wakes me up
Speaker 1: and around the same time, even if I've had a
Speaker 1: night of like heavy drinking, my brain still like I'm
Speaker 1: never her like I always wake up one time. You
Speaker 1: know what and all, I've said this before and stuff
Speaker 1: you should know, but I didn't know if you knew
Speaker 1: that I have a natural alarm clock. I can tell
Speaker 1: myself what time to wake up before I go to sleep,
Speaker 1: and I'm honest to god, no ship within like five
Speaker 1: minutes of that. Wow, and now I'll wake up kind
Speaker 1: of anyway. But this was even before um my daughter
Speaker 1: came along. I would be able to say, like, all right,
Speaker 1: get up at seven, and I would wake up within
Speaker 1: six fifty five to seven oh five. That's a pretty
Speaker 1: cool trick, Chuck. It's pretty amazing. Uh, let me see here.
Speaker 1: And the irony is of a very nice alarm clock.
Speaker 1: Now you know, I have a really nice bedside radio.
Speaker 1: It's like by this company called Tivoli, and it's like,
Speaker 1: it looks kind of modern and like interestingly the designed,
Speaker 1: but it doesn't have an alarm clock. It's not really
Speaker 1: like it's it's got like a bluetooth, it's got full radio.
Speaker 1: It's a really nice thing. Doesn't have an alarm clock.
Speaker 1: That's weird. You know, I use my phone, so who
Speaker 1: needs it. Yeah. I state at a hotel that had
Speaker 1: a cool alarm clock, and I was like, oh, I'm
Speaker 1: getting one of those, because it's the same deal. You
Speaker 1: get Bluetooth. It's got it's got a little soft glowing
Speaker 1: light on the back of it if you want. It's nice.
Speaker 1: One's cool. I think there's another model of the Tivoli
Speaker 1: that does have an alarm clock, with this particular one doesn't.
Speaker 1: But I do like it very much. All right, let
Speaker 1: me see here, Laura Chenowa says, a breakfast that includes
Speaker 1: a bacon and black coffee. Right up my alley, lady,
Speaker 1: Dylan Thomas. The first night of newly changed sheets. Yeah,
Speaker 1: totally press sheets, nothing like it. You know, I just
Speaker 1: washed my duvet. I've washed the cover and then I
Speaker 1: just washed the actual duvet and now I gotta put
Speaker 1: it back in the cover. That's the only part I
Speaker 1: don't like. But I love that. I love the feel
Speaker 1: of it. It's very, very comforting. Yeah, putting a duvet
Speaker 1: cover on is not easy or fun. It's not the
Speaker 1: most fun. There's a good trick where you can turn
Speaker 1: it inside out and just roll it into its a
Speaker 1: little sheath tricks. But but I have to look it
Speaker 1: up on YouTube every fucking time. It's like folding a
Speaker 1: fitted sheet. There's that trick too, but I just always
Speaker 1: end up doing the old watting it up. Just wad
Speaker 1: you get halfway through it in wad? Yeah, just get frustrated.
Speaker 1: Let me see you're justin. Kirshner says, drinking a beer
Speaker 1: that I brewed, watching the sunset after dinner with the wife.
Speaker 1: He's all sounds so nice, everybody. Baco Randy's welcome top

Speaker 1: a smoke. Three fingers. That's a nice drink. That's a
Speaker 1: big one. How many fingers you go? No? Um, all
Speaker 1: of them? I love fistful, A fistful of bourbon. Oh dear, Oh,
Speaker 1: you know, I don't think I updated you. I did
Speaker 1: a couple of mini crushes with Emily and updated everyone
Speaker 1: on Red Dead Redemption. But I finished the game and um,
Speaker 1: but I finished spoilers. I actually haven't finished it. Well,
Speaker 1: I finished it too early. I didn't see it coming.
Speaker 1: I wish they would have literally had a countdown clock
Speaker 1: saying like, hey, by the way, you're about to be done,
Speaker 1: so go do other stuff if you want to do it. Okay,
Speaker 1: you still you can still wander all right? Or no
Speaker 1: you can't. You have to start over. Usually when you
Speaker 1: beat those games, because he's some kind of bonus. Oh yeah,
Speaker 1: I guess he probably dies. He died in the last one.
Speaker 1: How else get that move? How that game end? Yeah? No,
Speaker 1: it's true. Should I get the first one? Yeah? Red
Speaker 1: Dead two, well, the original one I think is only
Speaker 1: on like original PlayStation maybe or PlayStation two. And then
Speaker 1: then Red Dead two was on PlayStation three, and that one,
Speaker 1: that one was the game changer where the world got
Speaker 1: really expansive, and then this one. I've been playing a
Speaker 1: game called Borderlands that is just kind of a cartoony goofball,
Speaker 1: kind of uber violent but in cartoonish way shooter game,
Speaker 1: and it's a lot of fun. Well, I started playing
Speaker 1: a game called Control that it's just I can't get
Speaker 1: into it yet. It's one of those games that starts
Speaker 1: you out with a central mystery that you have to
Speaker 1: figure out, and it's just I don't know, man, it's
Speaker 1: not drawn me in. So then I popped in and
Speaker 1: loaded up Call of Duty World War two, and so
Speaker 1: that's what I've been playing. I never played a Call
Speaker 1: of Duty game. You're shooting them that in the Nazis. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's pretty fun. Yeah. My my game is is similar
Speaker 1: as a mechanic to a game like that. You can
Speaker 1: throw grenades, You've got like different guns. The thing is
Speaker 1: cool about Borderlands is the game literally generates thousands of
Speaker 1: possible weapons using an algorithm that all have different statistics
Speaker 1: and different like you know, names that are generated randomly,
Speaker 1: so there's like no end to like the types of
Speaker 1: you know, a variety of weapons that you'll get kind
Speaker 1: of realize you know which ones suit you best, and
Speaker 1: you can kind of become one that like you know,
Speaker 1: uses more pistols or shot guns or whatever. It's a
Speaker 1: lot of fun. I quite enjoy and if anyone out
Speaker 1: there wants to game, um, I would love to. I
Speaker 1: would totally game with anybody. Oh do you have like
Speaker 1: a name you can say, yeah, you're gonna get in? Um,
Speaker 1: what would be like if anyone's playing Borderlands? I think
Speaker 1: I'm the Cubists. Uh, the Cubists, Yeah, because as the
Speaker 1: Bells my band. I had a band called the Cubists,
Speaker 1: and I think that was a name that wasn't taking.
Speaker 1: I don't even think I had to have a number.
Speaker 1: It was just th H E C U B I
Speaker 1: S T S. That's great. That's a good band name too.
Speaker 1: Nice work, thank you. Uh. There used to be a
Speaker 1: game no Ale years ago on. I think it was
Speaker 1: the Nintendo sixty four called tur Rock the Dinosaur Hunter. Sure,
Speaker 1: I remember remember that game. I remember the concept of it.
Speaker 1: I don't remember the existence of it. I don't really
Speaker 1: remember what it was. Like. God Truck was great, and
Speaker 1: it was the one that had all these crazy weapons,
Speaker 1: um like little minute miniature nuclear bombs and stuff that
Speaker 1: you chants. There was kind of kind of jokey. It
Speaker 1: was kind of like, well, not jokey. I just remember
Speaker 1: really loving it. I mean there was no no, it's
Speaker 1: it's sort of a future e it's on the uh
Speaker 1: the in sixty four tur Rock Dinosaur Hunter and Yeah.
Speaker 1: When I hear you say tur Rock, I think of
Speaker 1: some kind of caveman character, but that's not what it
Speaker 1: is at all. He's more of like a dinosaur tracker
Speaker 1: and and hunter. Yeah, it was great. Um like those
Speaker 1: The two games for me for the It's sixty four
Speaker 1: days were Tar Rock and obviously uh well there were
Speaker 1: really three Tour Rock and Golden Eye with the all
Speaker 1: time great games, and the Tony Hawk. For some reason,
Speaker 1: I got really into the Tony Hawk, like one of
Speaker 1: the first versions of his kind of street skate game.
Speaker 1: Remember when they put out Mortal Kombat games for in
Speaker 1: sixty four and there was no blood, They like just
Speaker 1: removed the blood. Yeah, because Nintendo is always clean. Nintendo
Speaker 1: doesn't have really yeah, and that's their deal. They've always
Speaker 1: been like, I don't think I knew that blood list.
Speaker 1: And and then there's no like mature in Nintendo games.
Speaker 1: Well you know, I mean, I'm a liberal hippie, but
Speaker 1: i'd love I love blowing a Nazi up. You know.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, who doesn't love? You know? That's funny that
Speaker 1: actually tur Rock was rated M so maybe I'm wrong
Speaker 1: about that, but I do remember distinctly there was a
Speaker 1: version of the Mortal Combat games for Nintendo that had
Speaker 1: all of the blood removed. That is a thing that happened. Wow,
Speaker 1: who knew? All right, let me let me do. Let
Speaker 1: me run through like ten or twelve with these quickly
Speaker 1: because there's so many good ones. Everyone just go read

Speaker 1: he um makes these as a restaurant, and he makes
Speaker 1: these big, big steaming plates of meat and t bones
Speaker 1: and crazy massive hunks of meat. And he does this
Speaker 1: move right here. He sort of crooks his elbow, his
Speaker 1: hand his elbow and very daintily sprinkles it as this
Speaker 1: matt like magic dust. Uh, it's the whole thing. You
Speaker 1: look up Salt Bay. Sometimes it's very very funny. I
Speaker 1: love it. Uh, let me see here, Old pal Alex

Speaker 1: seven years old. Did you have a crushtion all? Another
Speaker 1: one on Lena Leona Nardo? Leonardo? Uh, you know, I

Speaker 1: appropriate for anything that he was, and he always feels
Speaker 1: too young. And I think I've said that a million
Speaker 1: times in the show. But um, oops, uh, my phone
Speaker 1: just frank, Hopefully you guys didn't hear that. I think

Speaker 1: movie or a TV series? Bionic Woman was the TV counterpart?
Speaker 1: Just six million Dollar Man, That's right, that's what I thought. Yeah. Interesting, Well,
Speaker 1: there was a very special movie in the seventies called
Speaker 1: Little Darlings that which was about girls in summer camp
Speaker 1: exploring their their early teen sexuality. So I was not
Speaker 1: allowed to watch that movie, which it's kind of appropriate somehow. Uh.
Speaker 1: Don Castellano says, eight year old me loved Rex smith Man.
Speaker 1: I remember that guy. These are also good. Everyone first, rushes.
Speaker 1: Julia Robertson says, uh, River Phoenix, hold the front door, Chuck,
Speaker 1: we have the technology is from the six Million Dollar Man.
Speaker 1: Oh is it real? Steve Austin astronaut, a man barely
Speaker 1: alive gentlemen, we can rebuild him. We have the technology,
Speaker 1: We have the capability to build the world's first bionic man.
Speaker 1: Steve Auston will be that man better than he was before. Better, stronger, faster. Yeah,
Speaker 1: And you know at the end there when they do
Speaker 1: the better, stronger, faster, it's like better, and then it
Speaker 1: shows him doing something stronger, and it shows him lifting
Speaker 1: something and faster, and then it shows his weird slow
Speaker 1: motion run which was supposed to be fast. Yeah. I
Speaker 1: love the logic behind that. So he's going so fast
Speaker 1: that it looks like he's going really slow. Well, they
Speaker 1: couldn't do it, you know, you still can't do super
Speaker 1: fast running. That's great. That's why the flash like Superman Flash,
Speaker 1: like they're doing better than they ever have, but it
Speaker 1: still just looks kind of corny and dumb. Yeah. You
Speaker 1: you as the viewer, have to be included. You have
Speaker 1: to like be along for the ride. Otherwise it's just
Speaker 1: like a blurred It's not any fun for anyone. Yeah,
Speaker 1: And I think the one that did it best now
Speaker 1: that I think about it is uh An x men yep.
Speaker 1: Because what they would do was they would just show
Speaker 1: up in real time. They would just show a poof
Speaker 1: and a reappearance, and then they would show the slow
Speaker 1: most u yeah, yeah, yeah yeah. And from American Horror
Speaker 1: Story was frozen there. Oh, it's wonderful. That was a
Speaker 1: very clever device. I agree. It is the only way
Speaker 1: to do it, you know. Uh. Emily Newton says Leaf
Speaker 1: Garrett was spinning on my Hardy Boys record player outshining
Speaker 1: Shawn Cassidy all day long. Yeah, Leaf Garrett, h Quincy Brown.
Speaker 1: This was one for me too, Elizabeth Shoe Karate Kid
Speaker 1: era or any era for me, but yeah, she was great. Uh,
Speaker 1: let's do a few more of these. Christian Bale and
Speaker 1: Empire the Sun that's from Mysa McKeon. Ash Clever says Alicia,
Speaker 1: Silverstone and Clueless. Yeah for me, it was at least
Speaker 1: Silverston and all those Aerosmith videos. It was really steamy
Speaker 1: Aerosmith video. It was her and Steven Tyler's daughter be
Speaker 1: getting really yes steamy. Uh. I always thought that was
Speaker 1: a little weird, but boy, that was twelve year old
Speaker 1: thirteen year old Noel had a field day with those. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's that's t m I um. I still have a
Speaker 1: big thing for Live Tyler. That never went away. Oh,
Speaker 1: she's gorgeous. Uh, let's see our old buddy, the danger
Speaker 1: of n Gail Kuntz says, I was four or five
Speaker 1: years old, Peter Vinkman, not Bill Murray because I had
Speaker 1: no idea who this Bill Murray fellow even was? Yeah
Speaker 1: Vinkman interesting. Heath Ledger that comes from Amanda Coolah. Yeah,
Speaker 1: Heath Fledger, he's he's. It was highly crushable. L I
Speaker 1: b uh. And let's finish up here with Uh, how
Speaker 1: about this one? Catherine Gould says David Bowie, after watching Labyrinth,
Speaker 1: then fell in love with a man in the music.
Speaker 1: Not bad taste for an eight year old. Oh definitely, Uh,
Speaker 1: totally agree. Yeah. I was about to mention his absurd
Speaker 1: bulge in that movie, but then he said, hey, eight
Speaker 1: year old, and I walked it back. But then I
Speaker 1: didn't walk it back at all, did I chuck? Oh no,
Speaker 1: because that's the first thing I thought too. Wasn't that
Speaker 1: big Satini bulge so ridiculous? Al Right, nil um, we're
Speaker 1: gonna do stream this now, we're gonna talk about what
Speaker 1: we've been watching lately. And I'm gonna go ahead and
Speaker 1: start this off while you get your list together Emily
Speaker 1: and I finished, I'm not okay with this. Uh, it's great,
Speaker 1: and I gotta say it really gains momentum and gets
Speaker 1: much better as it goes on and has one of
Speaker 1: the best uh endings and finales that I've seen in
Speaker 1: a while. It was really really terrific. It's a series.
Speaker 1: It's a series. It's very quick nol. It's got like geez,
Speaker 1: I want to say, seven episodes and they're like twenty
Speaker 1: five minutes long. You can binge it in a night.
Speaker 1: I really really love the young woman. I can remember
Speaker 1: her name, but who was? Who was in the movies?
Speaker 1: And um everyone, And it's really good. A couple other things.
Speaker 1: I just I think she's she's kids going places, she's
Speaker 1: got a good vibe. I like her a lot. She's
Speaker 1: in some music videos that I dug as well. Uh.
Speaker 1: The other thing, yeah you should. The other thing I'm
Speaker 1: watching is Dev's just started that a few nights ago
Speaker 1: and I'm think we're through four or five episodes. I
Speaker 1: didn't know that was out yet. That's the guy that
Speaker 1: did D s x X Makina and uh, like Alex Garland,
Speaker 1: he's awesome. I can't wait to see this. It's good. No,
Speaker 1: it's um, it's really good. I mean, I mean we're
Speaker 1: through I think four or five episodes and he's written
Speaker 1: and directed all of them, so he may do the
Speaker 1: entire series. I'm not sure. It's right up youre alley.
Speaker 1: It's that kind of really moody, atmospheric sci fi, superstylized,
Speaker 1: lots of cynthy tones. It's it's total Alex Garland all
Speaker 1: the ways. It feel like it's going places or do
Speaker 1: you think it's gonna be more mystery than it knows
Speaker 1: how to? Uh answer, Oh, it's going places. I like it,
Speaker 1: And I even managed to get over Nick Offerman as
Speaker 1: someone other than Ron Swanson. Uh, it's it's good. I
Speaker 1: like it. It's kind of a nice distraction right now
Speaker 1: for sure. And then the crushers said to watch it
Speaker 1: because asked everyone. I was like, his, dev's good. Should
Speaker 1: I go there? And everyone round me was like, yeah,
Speaker 1: it's pretty great. Oh yeah, no, I mean I I
Speaker 1: I just had no idea was even out. Uh so
Speaker 1: what you've been watching, bud? I? Um, it's one of
Speaker 1: these shows that I like, two of them actually that
Speaker 1: I started when they first came out, and kind of
Speaker 1: I fell off and it wasn't because they weren't good.
Speaker 1: I just there's so much other stuff and you know,
Speaker 1: things going on. But um, I revisited Better Call Saul
Speaker 1: um and just got so into it, like binged the
Speaker 1: whole thing. Uh And then like even like the season
Speaker 1: four wasn't on Netflix yet, so I like bought it
Speaker 1: on Amazon and binge that, and now season five is
Speaker 1: out and I'm just buying it an episode at a
Speaker 1: time every week and streaming that and it's just fantastic,
Speaker 1: really great on song. Well, it's almost like I rewatched
Speaker 1: Breaking Bad too after I've finished what was available a
Speaker 1: Better Call Saul before the new season started, and Breaking
Speaker 1: That is so depressing. I kind of forgot how heavy
Speaker 1: and just like dire and dark it is. Better Call
Speaker 1: Saul has a lot of the same like magic and
Speaker 1: the same like really great character development, but it's way
Speaker 1: less depressing, which is a it's a lot more fun
Speaker 1: and kind of like mischievous and like there's definitely some
Speaker 1: heavy stuff, but compared to Better Called, compared to Breaking Bad,
Speaker 1: it's just a little bit more of a fun watch.
Speaker 1: It doesn't that doesn't just drag you down. So that
Speaker 1: one new season is is ongoing. I think it's just
Speaker 1: foshed episode five yesterday, and another one that I watched
Speaker 1: a few episodes of and then didn't continue. Um is
Speaker 1: uh Ozark and I am. I am fully on board.
Speaker 1: I've been binging that. I just finished season two and
Speaker 1: now season three is coming out on Friday tomorrow. Yeah.
Speaker 1: So yeah, wonderful show. Wonderful show. It is heavy and
Speaker 1: it's it's dark, but it always keeps me guessing, and
Speaker 1: it's just I love the characters and they're such despicable people,
Speaker 1: but you just kind of want to you know, you
Speaker 1: want to do you want to see what what they're
Speaker 1: gonna do next, and like how much deeper they're going
Speaker 1: to dig themselves into this hole? You know, I know
Speaker 1: it's um, yeah, you're invested in that family and them
Speaker 1: being okay, but they make bad decisions sometimes and it's uh,
Speaker 1: but they're trying to be smart too. I love the show.
Speaker 1: I can't wait, and you know, I'd say every show almost,
Speaker 1: but we're also still barreling through this great season's new
Speaker 1: seasons of better Things and high Maintenance and always recommend
Speaker 1: those those are great. I need to do High maintenance.
Speaker 1: You've you always recommended to me, and I've never seen
Speaker 1: a second of it, but it seems right up my
Speaker 1: alley for sure. Bless you know, I should leave that
Speaker 1: in there. You know, it was it was too much
Speaker 1: of overlap. We we have to leave it in. That's
Speaker 1: I did. I did do the vampire sneeze you guys. Um,
Speaker 1: can I leave away from the mic and I sneeze crooks?
Speaker 1: You know, Yes, that's what I'm doing. I do that
Speaker 1: part internally. I I tend to do the vampire cackle
Speaker 1: within my my mind. Um, yeah, that's all right. There's
Speaker 1: some good stuff out there, Chuck, There's some good stuff
Speaker 1: out there. And uh, I'm really glad we've got a
Speaker 1: new season of Ozark because uh, I'm I missed it already.
Speaker 1: I really really really enjoyed that. Yeah, I can't wait.
Speaker 1: Shot right here in Atlanta, of course. Yeah, a lot
Speaker 1: of like a Lake hartwell and a lot of the
Speaker 1: fishing kind of areas where there's a lot of like
Speaker 1: there's you know, there's a lot of sailing community here
Speaker 1: in Georgia, like Flowery Branch and these ideas where there's
Speaker 1: tons of people that you know, docked their boats and uh,
Speaker 1: there's yeah, it really I recognize there's actually a gas
Speaker 1: station scene. No, it was a Tac area where they're
Speaker 1: eating dinner at this Tac area and I I, I
Speaker 1: absolutely recognized that place. And I've been too. It's always
Speaker 1: fun when you see a spot that you've actually like
Speaker 1: eating app Yeah, your favorite places, remember restaurants, Chuck, all right, dude,
