Speaker 1: I never see the other people, you know what I mean,

9
00:00:22,520 --> 00:00:24,200
Speaker 1: because we have our own entire floor.

10
00:00:24,320 --> 00:00:25,120
Speaker 2: That's totally true.

11
00:00:25,239 --> 00:00:27,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, actually no, we're just not allowed in the main

12
00:00:27,800 --> 00:00:29,560
Speaker 1: building because when it comes in, we don't have our

13
00:00:29,560 --> 00:00:34,239

Speaker 1: road Rules, Reality Television legend, Mark Long. Okay, if you

16
00:00:44,680 --> 00:00:46,760
Speaker 1: are a child of the eighties, nineties, two thousands, you

17
00:00:46,800 --> 00:00:48,760
Speaker 1: know who that is. You know what road Rules is,

18
00:00:48,760 --> 00:00:50,800
Speaker 1: you know what Real World is. She's twenty six. She

19
00:00:50,880 --> 00:00:53,800
Speaker 1: doesn't know what any of that is. How on earth?

20
00:00:54,560 --> 00:00:58,120
Speaker 3: Meanwhile, one of our new part timers says that the

21
00:00:58,240 --> 00:00:59,680
Speaker 3: challenge is his favorite show.

22
00:00:59,720 --> 00:01:02,680
Speaker 2: You guys have heard from him, Drew So interesting.

23
00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:05,600
Speaker 1: I'm just look, I'm not that old, all right. I

24
00:01:05,680 --> 00:01:07,520
Speaker 1: understand that there are people out there who don't know

25
00:01:07,600 --> 00:01:09,360
Speaker 1: stuff from the nineties and two thousands because that's when

26
00:01:09,360 --> 00:01:12,800
Speaker 1: they were born or after. I got that. And Mark

27
00:01:12,840 --> 00:01:16,399
Speaker 1: Long is older than us, I'm gonna say significantly, But

28
00:01:16,480 --> 00:01:18,120
Speaker 1: I mean I was thirteen years old when he was

29
00:01:18,120 --> 00:01:20,720
Speaker 1: on TV, so it's not like I, you know, was

30
00:01:20,760 --> 00:01:24,759
Speaker 1: in my twenties or something. But I'm I'm I don't

31
00:01:24,800 --> 00:01:26,280
Speaker 1: know what to do. I don't want to do with

32
00:01:26,280 --> 00:01:28,960
Speaker 1: my hands. I'm very upset. A twenty six year old

33
00:01:29,080 --> 00:01:30,720
Speaker 1: needs to know and she's open to it, but like,

34
00:01:30,760 --> 00:01:32,640
Speaker 1: you need to know about this. You didn't know what

35
00:01:32,720 --> 00:01:35,399
Speaker 1: the real world was, girl, you know.

36
00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:38,080
Speaker 2: Before Jersey, Sure that was the real world.

37
00:01:38,560 --> 00:01:41,000
Speaker 1: And I think I would honestly say the first couple

38
00:01:41,040 --> 00:01:43,920
Speaker 1: of seasons of the Real World are worth watching. They're

39
00:01:43,920 --> 00:01:46,880
Speaker 1: gonna look super old timey, but they're I mean, will

40
00:01:46,920 --> 00:01:51,080
Speaker 1: remind you of where we once were not that long ago. Yep.

41
00:01:51,480 --> 00:01:53,920
Speaker 1: And if you're unfamiliar somehow with the concept. They put

42
00:01:54,280 --> 00:01:57,280
Speaker 1: several people in a house together with cameras and they

43
00:01:57,440 --> 00:02:00,360
Speaker 1: intentionally cast people who would not like each other. Uh,

44
00:02:00,440 --> 00:02:02,320
Speaker 1: and this you know, the nineties were a wild time

45
00:02:03,080 --> 00:02:08,400
Speaker 1: compared to where we are now, but you know they would. Yeah, anyway,

46

Speaker 2: You know, there's a.

99
00:04:21,200 --> 00:04:23,520
Speaker 1: Song because my season of life changes throughout the day,

100
00:04:23,600 --> 00:04:25,680
Speaker 1: so you know, I mean, you know, it just depends.

101
00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:27,880
Speaker 1: It depends on the in the afternoon, in the night,

102
00:04:27,920 --> 00:04:30,200
Speaker 1: could be very different. So I'm glad he's got something

103
00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:32,240
Speaker 1: for me, you know, for each hour of the day.

104
00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:33,520
Speaker 2: You got that new turtleneck.

105
00:04:33,640 --> 00:04:35,440
Speaker 3: So sometimes I feel like you're getting a little bit

106
00:04:35,480 --> 00:04:36,680
Speaker 3: like you're in your sexy era.

107
00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:39,440
Speaker 1: Right when I put the turtleneck on you something sexy,

108
00:04:39,560 --> 00:04:41,960
Speaker 1: you know. Yeah, when I put the cutoff t you on,

109
00:04:42,320 --> 00:04:46,200
Speaker 1: you know, then I need something yeah, yeah, right, and.

110
00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:49,880
Speaker 3: It's crop too, right exactly, Okay, perfect, okay. Speaking of

111
00:04:49,920 --> 00:04:52,040
Speaker 3: gen Z kind of telling us what we can't do

112
00:04:52,240 --> 00:04:55,839
Speaker 3: and can't do now, I guess they want Hollywood to

113
00:04:56,040 --> 00:04:57,400
Speaker 3: rethink the tough guy.

114
00:04:57,440 --> 00:04:58,760
Speaker 2: Image in movies.

115
00:04:59,240 --> 00:05:02,919
Speaker 3: A new stud done by UCLA says that gen Z

116
00:05:03,080 --> 00:05:07,039
Speaker 3: and Gen Alpha audiences are increasingly turned off by old

117
00:05:07,080 --> 00:05:11,159
Speaker 3: school traditional masculinity on screen, and they want something very

118
00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:15,479
Speaker 3: different from their male characters. They surveyed young viewers ten

119
00:05:15,520 --> 00:05:17,880
Speaker 3: to twenty four, so the younger end of this, and

120
00:05:17,960 --> 00:05:20,520
Speaker 3: found that many are looking for portrayals of boys and

121
00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:24,400
Speaker 3: men that move away from isolation and macho stereotypes and

122
00:05:24,440 --> 00:05:28,880
Speaker 3: toward vulnerability, emotional openness, and connection. I guess they want

123
00:05:28,920 --> 00:05:34,000
Speaker 3: to see better fathers on TV and more emotionally available

124
00:05:34,080 --> 00:05:37,440
Speaker 3: men and role models in TV and film, reflecting a

125
00:05:37,760 --> 00:05:41,560
Speaker 3: broader cultural shift on how masculinity is viewed.

126
00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:44,560
Speaker 2: So I could get down for this, you know, I'm down.

127
00:05:44,680 --> 00:05:49,080
Speaker 3: They say that young people reject masculinity altogether, though, and

128
00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:52,760
Speaker 3: they're less interested in the lone wolf, hyper aggressive archetypes

129
00:05:53,720 --> 00:05:56,400
Speaker 3: that dominated the past decades. Instead, they favor characters who

130
00:05:56,400 --> 00:05:58,640
Speaker 3: show empathy, teamwork, and emotional depth.

131
00:05:59,040 --> 00:06:01,680
Speaker 2: So there you go, that is what they are demanding.

132
00:06:01,920 --> 00:06:03,880
Speaker 3: And lastly, I know Fred just talked about it, but

133
00:06:04,560 --> 00:06:06,680
Speaker 3: Mark Long, who you may know or may not, which

134
00:06:06,720 --> 00:06:08,480
Speaker 3: is crazy you need to learn from the heyday of

135
00:06:08,640 --> 00:06:12,160
Speaker 3: MTV reality shows, was on the Tangent and he told

136
00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:15,760
Speaker 3: really cool stories about the late Matthew Perry and the

137
00:06:15,800 --> 00:06:18,719
Speaker 3: late Kobe Bryant, which is crazy that like they have

138
00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:21,880
Speaker 3: cross paths due to like how big his shows were

139
00:06:21,960 --> 00:06:26,120
Speaker 3: at the time, and they're on tour right now. Challenge

140
00:06:26,320 --> 00:06:27,960
Speaker 3: Mania dot Live if you want to go to that.

141
00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:29,560
Speaker 3: But if you want to find the Tangent the Fred

Speaker 1: You suggesting you don't go back and listen to your

146
00:06:37,279 --> 00:06:39,160
Speaker 1: own work every day after we do it?

147
00:06:39,240 --> 00:06:42,960
Speaker 3: I actually do, but I hate it because I hate

148
00:06:42,960 --> 00:06:43,560
Speaker 3: my voice.

149
00:06:43,880 --> 00:06:46,120
Speaker 1: I keep it on repeating the house. It's just always

150
00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:47,080
Speaker 1: just you know.

151
00:06:47,440 --> 00:06:50,160
Speaker 2: Well just my voice. Rumor has that you put it

152
00:06:50,200 --> 00:06:51,400
Speaker 2: on when you have women?

153
00:06:51,560 --> 00:06:54,839
Speaker 1: Well, I yeah, stop talking about that. That's private information.

154
00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:55,880
Speaker 1: That's private information.

155
00:06:55,920 --> 00:06:57,040
Speaker 2: I haven't signed an DA.

156
00:06:57,120 --> 00:06:58,560
Speaker 1: In order to get in the mood, I have to

157
00:06:58,600 --> 00:07:01,240
Speaker 1: put the the iHeart Radio app on and listen to

158
00:07:01,279 --> 00:07:03,479
