Speaker 1: it was my thyroid medication. Check. I have an interactive thyroid.
Speaker 1: Isn't getting old? Great? That's so fine, you said. You
Speaker 1: know it's cool. A pill will fix it. You just
Speaker 1: have to take it every day for the rest of
Speaker 1: your life. Yeah. I'm on cholesterol medication because a it
Speaker 1: runs in my family and like all my siblings are,
Speaker 1: even my brother, who's in good shape. But I also
Speaker 1: love cheese and eggs, egg yellows. You just the yellows.
Speaker 1: You separate the eggs out exclusively the yellows whites, uh,
Speaker 1: and fried chicken and all that crap I shouldn't be eating. Also,
Speaker 1: my goal is to get off those meds and get
Speaker 1: it under control. You want to get off the meds,
Speaker 1: but not off the cheese and eggs and fried chicken. Well, no, dummy,
Speaker 1: you gotta get off that to get off the med
Speaker 1: I know. But the way you said it was a funny.
Speaker 1: Come on, alright, alright, Jack Albright, I'm with you together.
Speaker 1: I love all those things. Though you know life's too short.
Speaker 1: Just just I say, viva left fried chicken and just
Speaker 1: take the pills. Take the pills, put it right in
Speaker 1: your neck. Uh so, No, I'm I'm quite happy today.
Speaker 1: We just saw that the annual podcast round Up was released.
Speaker 1: The most listened to podcast and Stuff you should Know
Speaker 1: is right there at number six. It's a comfortable spot
Speaker 1: for me. Joe Rogan is number one, of course, The
Speaker 1: Daily is number two. Makes sense, it's daily, I mean,
Speaker 1: come on, Crime Junkie is number three. Number three Big Show,
Speaker 1: our old pals Ira Glass and Gang from This American Life,
Speaker 1: or number four my friends Georgia and Karen of my
Speaker 1: favorite murderer number five, and we're there at number six.
Speaker 1: I was hopping to be top five. But what are
Speaker 1: you gonna do? You wanna hear my my called Barbaro impression.
Speaker 1: By the way, we're right there in front of the
Speaker 1: office ladies, so they can they can get behind us.
Speaker 1: They're good. Yeah, that's that's just funny. It's an what
Speaker 1: your impression of? Who? Michael Barbara? I'm I'm Michael Barbaro
Speaker 1: and this is the Daily from the New York Times,
Speaker 1: powered by the journalists of the New York Times. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I can't judge that because I've never listened to the Daily. Well,
Speaker 1: it's it's it's remarkable. He sounds very odd and it's like,
Speaker 1: you know how everyone like has to not everyone but
Speaker 1: an NPR folk in particular, which he's not. He's in
Speaker 1: New York Times, but still now he's on NPR. Uh,
Speaker 1: they like, I feel like they lean into their persona
Speaker 1: voices a little bit sometimes, And he really he really
Speaker 1: doesn't he really. I think I think radio has aitendency
Speaker 1: to do that. We might as well round out the
Speaker 1: top ten. Old Number eight is Pod Save America. It Uh,
Speaker 1: don't listen to that. I mean, these are great shows.
Speaker 1: I just I don't have a lot of podcast space
Speaker 1: and I've got my old faves. Number nine is playing
Speaker 1: at Money. Stalwart number ten is wait, wait, don't tell
Speaker 1: me Stalwart. Uh. Pots of America is one of the
Speaker 1: only ones that I listened to on a pretty regular basis.
Speaker 1: It's a good place to get like your little political
Speaker 1: junkie fix in every week, and they're funny, so I'll
Speaker 1: enjoy it. And look at this are old pals at
Speaker 1: Radio Leber number eleven. They're still hanging tough. And due
Speaker 1: to serial is number thirteen they had, they didn't release
Speaker 1: anything last year. That's really amazing. And I also want
Speaker 1: to shout out a friend of the show, Dak Shepherd
Speaker 1: hit number eighteen, Armchair Expert. He has really turned that
Speaker 1: into a show to be reckoned with. Well, we're we
Speaker 1: might not have made the top twenty list, Chuck, but
Speaker 1: something I don't want you to know has been growing
Speaker 1: like gangbusters. It's been a lot of fun watching that
Speaker 1: because we switched to a five day a week schedule
Speaker 1: and you got to do right. Well, that's the thing
Speaker 1: about Chuck that now now I I I hear what
Speaker 1: I hear what you're where you're going with this shot.
Speaker 1: But let me tell you, I assume that maybe some
Speaker 1: of our other episodes, not the main episodes, would like
Speaker 1: get less people listening. But it's been consistent across the board.
Speaker 1: People like the news episodes, they like the listener mail episode,
Speaker 1: they like the classic episode. So that's been cool. No,
Speaker 1: I love it. I wasn't throwing shade. I was kind
Speaker 1: of referencing our our boss. It is a funny philosophy,
Speaker 1: which is like, hey, guys are doing great, you want
Speaker 1: more downloads, start start doubling your output. It's fair. That
Speaker 1: is that is math. Uh So, NOL, we have a
Speaker 1: special guest coming in today. Pop quits hot shot. It's okay.
Speaker 1: And so what I'm gonna do right now is I'm
Speaker 1: gonna see if we can do this in real time
Speaker 1: and send a little invite two uh, said guests. And
Speaker 1: what's fun about these, as everyone knows, is that NOL
Speaker 1: doesn't even know who's coming in. I don't know nothing.
Speaker 1: You do know nothing. So let me see here, where
Speaker 1: is this person? This person right there sending this invite,
Speaker 1: and we'll just kind of shoot the old ship well
Speaker 1: said guests, said surprise guests makes their way to the email.
Speaker 1: I don't know if I can make civilized conversation yet, Chuck.
Speaker 1: These pills aren't properly coursing through my veins yet. I'm
Speaker 1: still I'm still up. It's the fact. It's not the
Speaker 1: fire had met the Jackson up. It's the it's the
Speaker 1: secret supplement that I take in addition to it. Oh well,
Speaker 1: it's just just sing. No, do you have a little
Speaker 1: gray stripe in your hair? You didn't notice that before?
Speaker 1: I totally do. I have never seen that before. What
Speaker 1: is going on there? My friend? It's like my startorial superpower? Now?
Speaker 1: Is that something You've always had? It? Not always, not
Speaker 1: since I was a small child, but it definitely started forming.
Speaker 1: And people, you know, hair people in particular, like you
Speaker 1: know barber's are always like remark upon it as though
Speaker 1: I've done it, like in some kind of you know
Speaker 1: style thing. But it really just this is one little
Speaker 1: stripe of perfect gray. No. I've seen other people. I mean,
Speaker 1: it's a thing. I've seen other people that have a
Speaker 1: little stripe. But when you say it came on it
Speaker 1: did it come on as you aged or did you
Speaker 1: have it in like high school? No? I definitely didn't
Speaker 1: have in high school. Um, it has come on. I
Speaker 1: it's funny, Chuck. I actually don't even remember, like I
Speaker 1: can't place in time when it showed up. But it's
Speaker 1: become more and more pronounced. And I have a pretty
Speaker 1: good head of hair, so I think I'm probably just
Speaker 1: gonna go gray rather than like losing the hair, which
Speaker 1: I'm I'm pretty grateful for. Well, no, that's great. I'm
Speaker 1: starting to get a little thin on the back of
Speaker 1: my head, which is really distressing because I've always had
Speaker 1: really good hair and this is the worst way to
Speaker 1: lose it, because like I look normal until I walk away,
Speaker 1: and then and then like when whenever I see like
Speaker 1: the back of my head in a mirror somehow, I'm like,
Speaker 1: oh my god, it's really leaving. And Emily is always
Speaker 1: like it doesn't look as bad as it does when
Speaker 1: you obsess about it. But you know, that's the one
Speaker 1: thing I got going for me. No one is my
Speaker 1: goddamn hair. We'll chuck the trick there is just you
Speaker 1: never have you always just back away, Yeah, just back away,
Speaker 1: Simpson retreating into the bushes. You know, that's right into
Speaker 1: the hedge. I mean, I'm not vain about many things.
Speaker 1: But like I said, I've always had pretty good hair
Speaker 1: and that's all I got going for me. But you know, no,
Speaker 1: I'll just start shaving that ship. What I don't want
Speaker 1: is to be have a fully bald little circle back
Speaker 1: there and then just pretend like I don't. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: gotta say, I've been watching this delight and this isn't
Speaker 1: stream this I'm gonna preempted to slightly. There's a new
Speaker 1: uh British pottery challenge show. It's very much in the
Speaker 1: style of The Great British Bakeoff, but it's called the
Speaker 1: Great British Pottery throw Down. Um, and I don't know
Speaker 1: how familiar with the Great British British Bakoff, but one
Speaker 1: of the hosts, Paul Hollywood, is very intense and if
Speaker 1: he likes your your biscuits or whatever, he'll look you
Speaker 1: deeply in the eye with his silvery blue, you know, peepers,
Speaker 1: and then give you a very firm handshake. On this
Speaker 1: new show, there's an equivalent of Paul Hollywood, but when
Speaker 1: he really likes your pottery, he bursts into tears and
Speaker 1: it happens all the time, and people are like, oh am,
Speaker 1: I gonna make him cry? Am I gonna make him cry? Now?
Speaker 1: It's the thing. It's the thing. I only bring it
Speaker 1: up because he has the weirdest hair situation where it's
Speaker 1: like not even a comb over. It's like it's like
Speaker 1: he's bald on the top and a perfect circle. But
Speaker 1: he takes the like surrounding hairs and almost like slicks
Speaker 1: them inward, pointing towards this weird bald circle. It's very strange.
Speaker 1: I don't have to check that out because you know
Speaker 1: Donald Trump, of course, always the hair or the hair,
Speaker 1: the hair. It was always about this hair. But it
Speaker 1: was it was really interesting to suss out what was
Speaker 1: going on there and the strange architecture that was constructed
Speaker 1: to I don't even know what the deal is, I mean,
Speaker 1: just psychologically, what's going on there with that hair? Like
Speaker 1: like I mean, I know, when you get to that level,
Speaker 1: you're surrounded by a lot of yes people who are
Speaker 1: probably including you know, uh whatever, like um stylists and such,
Speaker 1: who probably told him it looked great. But I mean, objectively,
Speaker 1: it just doesn't look great. It's like a weird, weird
Speaker 1: little duck ass on the top of his head. They
Speaker 1: actually used to call it that hairstyle of duck ass
Speaker 1: like like like in the fifties it was more of
Speaker 1: a greaser thing, but with his it looks like weird
Speaker 1: kind of yellowed cotton candier. It's okay, no more ragged
Speaker 1: on Donald Trump's. We don't have to talk about that guy.
Speaker 1: I mean, who exactly? All right, here this person is
Speaker 1: and we're gonna go ahead and let him into the room. Uh, everybody,
Speaker 1: it is Mr Paul Schneider. H Paul, Paul Schneider is
Speaker 1: connecting to audio. It's happening. It's happening. Oh, yes, we
Speaker 1: got the check mark, Paul. Yes, yeah, are you recording?
Speaker 1: It's the worst man. It's the way you should try
Speaker 1: using Microsoft teams. I wouldn't wish that on my worst enemy.
Speaker 1: It is. Yeah, it's a d w Yeah. I remember.
Speaker 1: I remember them being all the rage when I was,
Speaker 1: you know, in college. But someone just dropped this on
Speaker 1: me because like they made a record with this, like
Speaker 1: rich financier who bought this kit and then they just
Speaker 1: left at the guy's studio for a year. Uh god,
Speaker 1: how did you got your finger on the pulse? Screlly
Speaker 1: is the secret record industry finance guy? I want to
Speaker 1: hear that wood Tang record. I um do we though
Speaker 1: I don't know, maybe why not talking about a deal
Speaker 1: with the devil? That's if you if you only not smirked,
Speaker 1: it was smirk. They did it. They actually designed the
Speaker 1: emoji smirk after Martin Screlly's face. Little known in fact,
Speaker 1: did you did you follow the whole story? You guys
Speaker 1: with him? And this was it a journalist that he
Speaker 1: like wooed and she like, you know, fell under his
Speaker 1: Screlly spell and then wrote a whole tell all article
Speaker 1: about it. And he's like, shut the funk up, don't
Speaker 1: talk about this that made him look really it's a
Speaker 1: whole thing, man. It's like the saga of Martin Screlly continues.
Speaker 1: So everyone, Paul Schneider, you know from uh, one of
Speaker 1: my favorite movies, All the Real Girls. You know him
Speaker 1: from Jane Campion's uh, Black Star, Bright Star, Bright Star Job.
Speaker 1: It's a great song by Radiohead. Yeah, it's also a
Speaker 1: fantastic group with most Death and it's also David Bowie's
Speaker 1: final master work album. Just putting that out there too.
Speaker 1: You know what's funny is not only did I get
Speaker 1: that wrong? Because I'm a fucking idiot is here, and
Speaker 1: I typed dark Star. That's a grateful dead banger. I
Speaker 1: was gonna say, isn't dark Star there in Celtic Metal?
Speaker 1: Could be, but it's dark dark Throne. That's Dark Throne,
Speaker 1: Dark Throne. Dark Star is the big, long, grateful dead
Speaker 1: jam that like, is very famous. You know him from
Speaker 1: the Outlaw Jesse James, the assassination of Jesse James by
Speaker 1: the coward Robert Ford. You know him from a little
Speaker 1: TV show called Parks and Wreck. I'm sorry, you know
Speaker 1: that's not your favorite job, but ah, you know, things happen.
Speaker 1: And I think most famously you know him from the
Speaker 1: Back to the Future episode of movie crunch O Man.
Speaker 1: That was that was a great, great episode, I think.
Speaker 1: So you know that's one of the sounds like I'm
Speaker 1: patting myself on the back. What I mean to say
Speaker 1: is that I had so much fun making that episode
Speaker 1: with Charles. It was great. And you and your snooty
Speaker 1: correcting of all your movie titles that I'm getting wrong. Listen,
Speaker 1: I've got an eight month old. I've slept about negative
Speaker 1: four seconds between last night and this morning. So about
Speaker 1: to say congratulations, but that in this context might not
Speaker 1: be the right I remember those days. Dude, it's it's
Speaker 1: it's a lot. Oh, it's a lot. You know, it
Speaker 1: is a lot. And and I just didn't want to
Speaker 1: be the guy that says it's a lot. So I
Speaker 1: was gonna say I would only tell I would only
Speaker 1: tell you guys. I would only tell you guys, except
Speaker 1: I think there's other people listening, and I am I'm
Speaker 1: I'm actually in my closet right now, because in New
Speaker 1: York City you only have a few a few rooms
Speaker 1: to the places you live. So we actually we woke
Speaker 1: the girl up out of her slumber and now she's
Speaker 1: upstairs zooming with special needs kids that my wife is
Speaker 1: helping right now. So it's a I mean, that is
Speaker 1: one cute baby. I wish we could just plant pictures
Speaker 1: all over our page, but you know, we respect your privacy.
Speaker 1: But that's one of the cuter babies I think in
Speaker 1: the history of people. I mean, I it's funny when
Speaker 1: we were when Theresa was pregnant, we would lye in
Speaker 1: bed and she would say, uh, please God, all we
Speaker 1: want is a baby who was cute and healthy, and
Speaker 1: I'd say, babe, babe, babe, baby, it's health, the and cute,
Speaker 1: you know, like we're gonna And she was like, well,
Speaker 1: let's just lord cute. And I'm like, han and she
Speaker 1: was like yeah exactly. I was like, I don't know,
Speaker 1: so listen, I guess every baby is cute. I I guess,
Speaker 1: but you know, not true. What are you gonna do? Uh?
Speaker 1: The Remember the advice I gave you early on was that, um,
Speaker 1: that it's okay that to admit that it's hard and
Speaker 1: that it sucks sometimes like parents need to be easier
Speaker 1: on themselves. Man, sometimes it's a pain in the ass,
Speaker 1: and it's okay to say that. Man. That Instagram sort
Speaker 1: of that that Instagram perfect parent perfection saying is really real. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I was talking to my friend and I was saying,
Speaker 1: you know, hey, let's I start and a little bit
Speaker 1: with you too, Chuck. But I I I kind of
Speaker 1: started like a little text thing with my friend who
Speaker 1: has a kid as well, just a couple of months
Speaker 1: older than mine, and I said, let's just bitch back
Speaker 1: and forth. We don't need to tell anybody, and we
Speaker 1: also we also don't need to give the PostScript of
Speaker 1: but also I love my daughter like like, we're not
Speaker 1: We're not we're not psychopaths. Like we can be upset
Speaker 1: about the fight we just got in with our wives
Speaker 1: or the financial pressure or the no shop or whatever,
Speaker 1: and we don't have to then say but also, of course,
Speaker 1: of course I fucking love my daughter. Of course she's
Speaker 1: the best thing that's happened to me. But like right now,
Speaker 1: I'm in a closet, you know, clawing my way towards
Speaker 1: some kind of male fellowship that is completely divorced from
Speaker 1: my life. You know, Like you talk about the female
Speaker 1: energy in my house. Yeah, well you know, uh, Nol's
Speaker 1: got a daughter. I've got a daughter. There's female energy
Speaker 1: all over the place and it's great. But also just
Speaker 1: just a shout out to my wife. Because of COVID
Speaker 1: for a moment, New York City wasn't allowing partners into
Speaker 1: delivery rooms and so and so I was going to
Speaker 1: have to take Teresa to the hospital and just wave
Speaker 1: and say, you know, get after it, babe, hope it goes, honestly,
Speaker 1: and we were terrified at the prospect. And so we quickly,
Speaker 1: you know, kind of reversed course and got a midwife
Speaker 1: and we got ourselves figured out, and Teresa had the
Speaker 1: kid at the bottom of the stairs in our apartment
Speaker 1: in a pool. No drugs, and drugs are fine if
Speaker 1: anybody needs to have drugs and do it that way.
Speaker 1: You know, you know, the pressure on women to have
Speaker 1: quote unquote the perfect little natural childbirth moment. That's also
Speaker 1: a whole another ball game. But the fact that that
Speaker 1: she had it in the living room and it all
Speaker 1: worked out was It's it's been a year. I mean
Speaker 1: it's been a year for everyone, but wow, that's incredible. Yeah. Well,
Speaker 1: I'm getting videos of her dancing to uh far side
Speaker 1: all the time I spend all the time I spend
Speaker 1: on the shifter. Nowadays, I'm just racing through my my
Speaker 1: music on my phone thinking, you know what, you know
Speaker 1: what heavy metal song is gonna go with the you know,
Speaker 1: with the video of of my daughter learning how to
Speaker 1: put her head in the oven. Bathroom time is key,
Speaker 1: my friend, that is key. You know, that's like the
Speaker 1: alone time, the only alone time you can get there.
Speaker 1: Oh man, it really is so Schneid's. We are here

Speaker 1: fun it is. Don't sweat it. Oh I'm sweating it's

Speaker 1: a kind and and uh and a run. But we've
Speaker 1: we've we've tried to answer this question for ourselves, and
Speaker 1: we haven't come up with a with a reasonable answer.
Speaker 1: Because I recently learned rummy and I love it. I'm
Speaker 1: not great at it. I taught it to my kid.
Speaker 1: She immediately just blasts me every time we play. But
Speaker 1: I love the game. It's a lot of one and
Speaker 1: I want to get better. But I just I was
Speaker 1: interested that I thought at first they were the same.
Speaker 1: Some people call them different things, but they are slightly different,
Speaker 1: but not like entirely different. Well, I don't know if
Speaker 1: you guys have friends or wives or whomever who kind
Speaker 1: of grew up playing games with their families. These people

Speaker 1: and I are pretty competitive. Um there's a thing in
Speaker 1: our house where she is a sore winner. Uh, and
Speaker 1: she wins a lot. So like, there's a very famous
Speaker 1: Monopoly game that went on, just a two person Monopoly game,
Speaker 1: which is so boring, but it went on way, way,
Speaker 1: way too long, and I was just destroyed. I had
Speaker 1: like nothing less and she was, you know, owned everything,
Speaker 1: And I was like, can we just throw in the
Speaker 1: towel here, like I can see that, And she's like, no,

Speaker 1: Heavy platoon light. Okay, one out of three. Not bad.
Speaker 1: It's really true about locked into back to the feud,
Speaker 1: like you really to think of anything else? Yeah, you
Speaker 1: really think family ties back to the future. Yeah, man,
Speaker 1: you're right, all right, you know, while you keep the score. Yeah,
Speaker 1: we're We've got four four total points thus far. All right.
Speaker 1: Paul Snyder in ten seconds, name three movies that take
Speaker 1: place and are set in large part at sea, starting now,
Speaker 1: Um Titanic, Pirates of the Mutiny on the Bounty, and
Speaker 1: dost Boot. All right. I would have accepted Pirates of
Speaker 1: the Caribbean, you know, I just didn't. I feel like
Speaker 1: that was low hanging fruit. But you know what you did.
Speaker 1: They're the rare about face about face usually in about face,
Speaker 1: and your really fun. That's all you can think of,
Speaker 1: as Johnny Depp after that? Yeah, true, true, true. Maybe
Speaker 1: going a little sleep is good. M hm oh man,
Speaker 1: I'm telling you guys, I have never seen dust Boot
Speaker 1: pretty good. Great? Is he the guy that did the
Speaker 1: never Ending Story? Wolf did? He did the never Ending
Speaker 1: Story That was an important movie to me and the
Speaker 1: one that I and also I grew up in Germany,
Speaker 1: and like all of Never Ending Story was filmed in Germany.
Speaker 1: It is even a weird little Never Ending Story museum
Speaker 1: where I grew up. Um, but yeah, he's he's German
Speaker 1: as hell and he did that strike a lot of
Speaker 1: great movies. Yeah, I hope that the museum was massive.
Speaker 1: It was very much not it was like four acres.
Speaker 1: I just I wish I had this VHS. But there's
Speaker 1: like a thing where you could ride on the dragon
Speaker 1: thing Falcore if you guys remember, with a fan blowing
Speaker 1: in your hair and like a green screen behind you.
Speaker 1: But it was like really old school technology and you'd
Speaker 1: get it on a VHS tape And I do not
Speaker 1: have that, and I wish I did that. That um
Speaker 1: that uh, that monster or what dragon furry dragon or whatever?
Speaker 1: He was very um king what's the King Cavalier dog?
Speaker 1: It's like that King Cavalier Spaniel, the King something. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he's got the same exact face sort of does. I've
Speaker 1: never seen that movie, believe or not. It's yeah, it's
Speaker 1: a little old for it and it doesn't necessarily hold up,
Speaker 1: but it was. It was. There was some parts of
Speaker 1: it that really freaked me out when I was a kid.
Speaker 1: But yeah, I've watched it recently and it's a little
Speaker 1: not great. But there's a part where like the Trey
Speaker 1: you character his horse drowns to death and the swamps
Speaker 1: of sadness, and that's been meaned like crazy about like
Speaker 1: you know him like reaching his hand into those mud
Speaker 1: while the horse is disappearing, and it's like you know me,
Speaker 1: like one or whatever. Things like that, right right. I
Speaker 1: really hope Movie Crush does an episode of children's films
Speaker 1: that went a little too are like returned to Oz
Speaker 1: for a start, yea, absolutely, Oh my god, the fields
Speaker 1: of Blood and like the strangling rabbit and the barbed wire. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I actually I think I was looking at like the
Speaker 1: bf I one hundred or something and they put Pinocchio
Speaker 1: down and I I, I gaffled my friends like Disney
Speaker 1: plus password or whatever, and I watched Pinocchio I think,
Speaker 1: for the first like kind of start to finish for
Speaker 1: the first time the other night, and that all when
Speaker 1: the kids turn into donkeys. That was disturbing, really disturbing.
Speaker 1: There's also a part where he smokes a cigar and
Speaker 1: like turns really green, like he's gonna vomit. And the
Speaker 1: last one for me really quickly because I thought of
Speaker 1: it last night. The care Bears movie from um It's
Speaker 1: got this like creepy amen that exists in this like
Speaker 1: magical grim wire. That's like trying to remove all the
Speaker 1: feelings from the world, and it's really genuinely terrifying. That's
Speaker 1: I love the idea of removing the feelings. Yes, okay,
Speaker 1: here we go. Let's get back to the game with
Speaker 1: Fa Schneider. Ready in ten seconds? Did you keep scoring
Speaker 1: that last one man with seven points total? All right? Uh?
Speaker 1: Name three non comedies featuring Robin Williams starting now, Dead
Speaker 1: Poets Society, one Hour Photo and um Insomnia. All right, boom,
Speaker 1: very nice, good job. Any boy you beat the clock
Speaker 1: on moutain. I think there should be um maybe some
Speaker 1: kind of uh points algorithm for how fast the answers?
Speaker 1: How should I change my game? No, I'm just listening.
Speaker 1: Listen these days, these days in my house, I'm declined
Speaker 1: for any recognition. You know, that's not a bad idea.
Speaker 1: If you name like all three before the five the
Speaker 1: halfway point, maybe you get an extra point or something. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but don't give no more than you know, like, let's
Speaker 1: I'll consider it for the future. Enough for this one,
Speaker 1: but you can come on again with the new rules,
Speaker 1: the Schneider rules. We're old, old men, now, I know.
Speaker 1: We're having so much fun though. All right, this is
Speaker 1: a good one. Paul Schneider in ten seconds, name three
Speaker 1: movies about brothers starting now, Um, step brothers, um brother
Speaker 1: Uh brothers, Oh, weird Science, and gosh, that's a really
Speaker 1: good one East of Eaton. Okay, you didn't get used
Speaker 1: to being out. I didn't. I will give you step brothers,
Speaker 1: even though they're not brothers. I will give you, uh, strangely,
Speaker 1: I will give you weird Science. I wouldn't say it's
Speaker 1: about two brothers, but it does feature two brothers that
Speaker 1: Bill Paxton, so I'll give you both of those. We
Speaker 1: also have accepted brothers McMullen, A River runs through it,
Speaker 1: Darjeeling Limited Uh, and other movies famously about brothers. All
Speaker 1: all three of those films. I could not be less interesting. Really,
Speaker 1: I know, Oh my god, dude runs through it Classic
Speaker 1: So it was dar. I never saw that one. I
Speaker 1: sort of. I have my It's good, I have my
Speaker 1: peccadillos with my my by Sanderson things. I feel like
Speaker 1: you should get a point for st Pecadillo. Yeah. I
Speaker 1: just for to say that the other day too. Weirdly enough,
Speaker 1: I've heard you say that before night, So that's that's
Speaker 1: one of your go to Oh man, i've I am
Speaker 1: turning into Carol and Schneider. Is that mom? Yeah Caroline?
Speaker 1: I mean what, well, it could be your wacky aunt.
Speaker 1: Oh man, No, no, the only one. Okay, all right,
Speaker 1: here we go. You should really nail this one. I
Speaker 1: really hope Mannequin is one of the answers. Oh ship,
Speaker 1: I can, I can mix it up. Kim Cotrell, Andrew McCarthy.
Speaker 1: Uh name in ten seconds? Name three movies directed by
Speaker 1: Jane Campion. Oh, Um, Dinner and Ancient at My Table, Ship,
Speaker 1: Bright Star at the Piano, Portrait of a Lady, Uh Sweetie,
Speaker 1: um showing off. I like it? Yeah, I like it
Speaker 1: all three No bonus points, but good job. It's funny.
Speaker 1: That was the most. There was a moment of panic
Speaker 1: where I I really couldn't. I really couldn't think of anything.
Speaker 1: She she liked the best to work for. Yes, yeah,
Speaker 1: it was really It's funny. Me and her had to
Speaker 1: have a bit of a breakthrough because because you know,
Speaker 1: she's the reason why I went to film school, Like
Speaker 1: like period, there was no other reason why I went
Speaker 1: to film school. After I saw the Piano, I went
Speaker 1: from I don't like I went from thinking that my
Speaker 1: future was smoking pot on the Blue Ridge Parkway to
Speaker 1: uh going to film school, and it was solely based
Speaker 1: on the piano. And then years and years go by,
Speaker 1: and then I was actually standing in front of her,
Speaker 1: working with her, and I sort of had to kind
Speaker 1: of take a few days to pop the bubble and
Speaker 1: start actually working, you know, and not just sort of
Speaker 1: staring at it. Yeah, yeah, kind of um or not
Speaker 1: just kind of like looking at my surroundings and saying,
Speaker 1: what am I doing here? But it's good because you know,
Speaker 1: movies are good because after you do pop the bubble,
Speaker 1: it's just it's just getting down to work. We're all
Speaker 1: trying to do this thing and and and it does
Speaker 1: become a workaday experience regardless of who you're who you're
Speaker 1: standing next to. But it was a great movie and
Speaker 1: fun to do a period piece. I'm sure, oh man,
Speaker 1: that the costume does the acting for you. Yeah. And
Speaker 1: the fact that I gained twenty two pounds for that, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I guess you were a little thicker, weren't you. It's
Speaker 1: funny because I say twenty two pounds, like, oh yeah,
Speaker 1: I gained twenty two pounds. I probably gained twelve pounds
Speaker 1: for that the camera out of the other ten. Yeah exactly, Um, yeah, no,
Speaker 1: it was, it was. It was. I'll give you a
Speaker 1: long story later. I'll give you both a long story later.
Speaker 1: But yeah, it was a real life changer. I gotta
Speaker 1: say a Jane Campion thing I think people maybe don't
Speaker 1: even associate her with is the TV series Top of
Speaker 1: the Lake. With just saw the first season. It was lastic.
Speaker 1: I thought it was so good. It was. And also
Speaker 1: I should definitely give a shout out to Jane and Chapman,
Speaker 1: who is her producer, who you know, she's kind of
Speaker 1: like the you know, the woman behind the woman in
Speaker 1: this situation. She's just an incredible producer, like she makes
Speaker 1: Once you kind of watch her produce, then you understand, oh,
Speaker 1: that's what producing a movie is. And she's, uh yeah,
Speaker 1: she is quietly a little bit like Polly Platt, you know,
Speaker 1: like Polly Platt on on UM the Last Picture Show.
Speaker 1: You know, she said she was they said that she
Speaker 1: was kind of behind Bogdanovitch a lot, sort of making
Speaker 1: things happen. And of course, and this is this is
Speaker 1: not at all like Jane Campion. This is specific to that.
Speaker 1: But of course, Bogdanovitch, you know, sucked up, you know,
Speaker 1: cheated on Polly Platt, started David Sivil Shepherd completely disregarded
Speaker 1: Polly Platt and then um took all the accolades. But
Speaker 1: at and full circle. He dated Dorothy Stratton later on,
Speaker 1: didn't he did? He? I think so? I can certainly
Speaker 1: see that because she was in a very she was
Speaker 1: in a her last movie I think was they all laughed.
Speaker 1: I think kind of a not not great Bogdanovich movie.
Speaker 1: And I think he dated Dorothy stretton. Yeah, and again
Speaker 1: I need to say that that you know that analogy
Speaker 1: has nothing to do with Jane, but again that you
Speaker 1: know those kind of those quiet geniuses behind that. The
Speaker 1: genius Woody Allen has the same type of situation. But
Speaker 1: I'll tell you about that later. And you know, I
Speaker 1: think she was he was dating her when she was
Speaker 1: murdered too, if I might have that wrong, but wait,
Speaker 1: very grizzly, truly alright, you know it's number seven in
Speaker 1: ten seconds, name three movies about painting as in an
Speaker 1: artist painting, Um Pollock Um, the Big lobal Ski and
Speaker 1: that van Ko movie where it's all cartoons. All right,
Speaker 1: we'll accept Pollock. I will not accept the Van Go
Speaker 1: movie with its cartoon. I mean, I said, Big Lebowski
Speaker 1: is about painting, but there's a great painting scene. Rug.
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, if anything, if there was an
Speaker 1: art object that movie revolved around, it was a rug.
Speaker 1: You know what? You know? No, no, what's genius about this? Uh?
Speaker 1: This ten second rule on the quiz is that you
Speaker 1: get locked on an image? Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. All
Speaker 1: I can think about was Julianne Moore strapped swinging towards me,
Speaker 1: and I was like, Paul, you got about four seconds, right, Uh,
Speaker 1: what do you think molds are? We give them that? No? No, no, no, no, no,
Speaker 1: come on, all right. We all also would have accepted
Speaker 1: b skiat frieda portrait of a l the on fire,
Speaker 1: et cetera. And there's a yeah, there's a there's an
Speaker 1: Immanuel Barrett movie that is that's French film that I
Speaker 1: saw about about painting. That's unbelievable. There's a Pollock story
Speaker 1: that I've told before. I think that I'll mention real
Speaker 1: quick in the DVD commentary which I used to watch
Speaker 1: a lot of uh those I did for Pollock and
Speaker 1: Ed Harris, who directed Pollock notory is sort of grump. Uh.
Speaker 1: There's this one party scene where the camera's just kind
Speaker 1: of going by and there's this extra that's kind of
Speaker 1: mugging a little bit, and Ed Harris just goes fucking
Speaker 1: extra as the camera moves by. In the DVD commentary,
Speaker 1: it's great until he was just so salty, is like,
Speaker 1: god damn it, I couldn't cut around this guy, this
Speaker 1: asshole mugging in the back of the scene. And and
Speaker 1: actually he's uh to to to to to amplify his
Speaker 1: salt nous. I was at the Sundance Lab one time
Speaker 1: and apparently I was in he had just left, and
Speaker 1: I took his you know room in one of the
Speaker 1: rent and houses they have, and so, um, you know,
Speaker 1: when when the assistant was showing me, like okay, this
Speaker 1: is where you're staying, I was like, all right, cool
Speaker 1: and she was like, yeah, Ed Harris was here you know,
Speaker 1: um the other day, and so he was the last
Speaker 1: guy to have this room, and I said, oh cool, yeah, amazing,
Speaker 1: And I love that Harris. And so I was, you know,
Speaker 1: I was in this room for a few days and
Speaker 1: doing the Sundance Labs and everything else, and then um,
Speaker 1: a couple of days into it, I went in the
Speaker 1: closet and found this gigantic jar of stickiest sticky sweed.
Speaker 1: It was like now, it was the brownest sticky. It
Speaker 1: was like honey comb. And I was like, man, and
Speaker 1: I started sniffing around, and I was like, oh, yeah,
Speaker 1: he smoked so much pott in here. So to be
Speaker 1: that stoned and still be that salty, Yeah, yeah, imagine
Speaker 1: what he's like sober. That's that's salty. That's great. I
Speaker 1: love that he left his sticky weed in there. He
Speaker 1: just left it there for you. He was definitely meant
Speaker 1: for you, or he just like it definitely. It was
Speaker 1: not meant for me. And I'm the last person that
Speaker 1: needs to be smoking weed ever again in his life.
Speaker 1: So it did. It did nothing for me? All right, tonight,
Speaker 1: three more in ten seconds? Name three this is you'll
Speaker 1: get it here once I give an example no, And
Speaker 1: I hate to burn a movie with an example, but
Speaker 1: I have to name three movie titles that followed the
Speaker 1: verb proper noun naming convention. For example, regarding Henry, Oh
Speaker 1: this is hard go on being no no, No, I'm
Speaker 1: being John Malkovich Um doing Mannequin starring Andrew McCarthy. That's
Speaker 1: kind of tough. No, but they're so many chasing Amy
Speaker 1: and saving silver Man. I'm sorry, you're right. No, no, now,
Speaker 1: I understand, yeah, saving Yeah, can we do it again? Um? Um,
Speaker 1: did you not sleeping with the enemy? Dancing in the dark,
Speaker 1: Um in the dark. Yeah, dancer in the dark dirty.
Speaker 1: I was thinking dirty dancing dancer in the dark, which
Speaker 1: should be a mash up. That should be a good
Speaker 1: Ill feel bad about that one. No, no, no, no,
Speaker 1: come on. I don't want to win like a I
Speaker 1: want to win like a like a winner. All right,
Speaker 1: So we got one there, a little unfair. That was stuff.
Speaker 1: You get a couple of layups here at the end,
Speaker 1: all right, nids in ten seconds. Name three movies directed
Speaker 1: by Alfred Hitchcock. Thirty nine Steps, Vertico, north By Northwest, Frenzy, Psycho, Um, God, Marnie,
Speaker 1: spell Bound must be like you should get I think
Speaker 1: you should get a couple of points, at least a
Speaker 1: point back for that one. It would be a first,
Speaker 1: but I think it's a precedent we should set. I think,
Speaker 1: so let's give him four PARTI him four. I think
Speaker 1: the crushers would agree, alright, and finally number ten in
Speaker 1: ten seconds, name three movies written by Aaron Sorkin, starting now, interesting,
Speaker 1: A few good men, um, the Chicago Seven and god
Speaker 1: oh social Network. Nice. All right, it's funny you wanted
Speaker 1: you really want to pull the interesting, older, more obscure films.
Speaker 1: Given ten seconds, you really have to go. Yeah, you
Speaker 1: have to skim off the top. Alright, nol, Do we
Speaker 1: have a final point total? Double the double confirmational final
Speaker 1: pass check here counting on my fingers. By the way, Paul,
Speaker 1: mm hmmm, there's a lot of numbers. He's going, we
Speaker 1: have life is yelling downstairs. Do you guys need magazines? No,
Speaker 1: we're good, we got we got this. Um the final
Speaker 1: tally out of the possible thirty points, with one bonus
Speaker 1: point awarded for expertise in the field of Alfred Hitchcock
Speaker 1: film titles. We have twenty four points for pulsion. Alright, Hey,
Speaker 1: you know what can we can we? Um? Can we
Speaker 1: give me twenty three points? Because I really don't want to.
Speaker 1: I want to. I want to nail who. I want
Speaker 1: to go for that, you know I want to go
Speaker 1: for it. No, but I think we've established a precedent
Speaker 1: now and you I hope you'll agree Chuck that if
Speaker 1: someone just really wants to, like, you know, bring it
Speaker 1: home and they just blast out ten in ten seconds,
Speaker 1: that's impressive and worthy of a bonus point. I would say,
Speaker 1: I would say so, but Schnid's if you want to
Speaker 1: go with twenty three, that's still as who what's the
Speaker 1: what's the top score? You guys have? We may have
Speaker 1: had a perfect I don't recall though, No, no, no, no,
Speaker 1: I haven't had a perfect score. It's really us and
Speaker 1: did uh Hodgman did? Okay? Well yeah, but he also
Speaker 1: got you know, it's tough when you got that timer ticking.
Speaker 1: That's the whole trick to this game. It makes you freeze. Uh.
Speaker 1: And it's so much fun. Can you stick around for
Speaker 1: stream this where we talk about what we've been watching.
Speaker 1: Are you gonna go? No, no, I'm here all right.
Speaker 1: I'll start out, I'm gonna gona go quickly on a
Speaker 1: few things, and then dive in a little deeper on
Speaker 1: the last thing. Finished, Ship's Creek. Finally, great show, wonderful ending.
Speaker 1: I was glad I was along for the ride. I
Speaker 1: missed the Rose family quite a bit. It was very sad.
Speaker 1: I watched The nights Stalker documentary about the night Stalker.
Speaker 1: Have you guys seen that? What do you think? Paul?
Speaker 1: I thought it was okay, a little long. It should
Speaker 1: have been probably like a two and a half hour
Speaker 1: documentary in my opinion. Yeah, I sometimes I get you know,
Speaker 1: I mean, just like everybody else, I inhale a true crime.
Speaker 1: I can talk a little bit about Wilderness of Error,
Speaker 1: which my friend and I just saw, and um, I
Speaker 1: had some issues with. But what what what I think
Speaker 1: is tough about those? Um those it well, I guess
Speaker 1: part of me feels like there's an ethical issue where
Speaker 1: it seems like they're just, you know, they're just searching
Speaker 1: every corner for every possible horrible thing that happened, and
Speaker 1: there's you know, they're smashing together a quick um, you know,
Speaker 1: a four parts, six part series. What I had a
Speaker 1: problem with is is and it was partly in The
Speaker 1: night Stalker. I have an issue when eight of the
Speaker 1: information is based on the interviews of two people, the
Speaker 1: two cops. Yeah, I know that there were other people interviewed.
Speaker 1: I get it. I know that there were but if
Speaker 1: you if you go back through it, the meat of
Speaker 1: the of of the story is coming out of it
Speaker 1: was and I'm not you know, obviously they have their
Speaker 1: valid experiences and everything else. But when we're when we
Speaker 1: go into those kinds of documentaries, I always want them
Speaker 1: to interview a psychologist. Yeah, and talk to me about
Speaker 1: what you know, Like, I know you didn't know Richard Ramirez,
Speaker 1: but you know, tell me what's your take on these
Speaker 1: kinds of people. I always want a little more detail,
Speaker 1: and not just from the cops experience. Dude, do you
Speaker 1: know what you need? Have you seen crazy not insane? Yeah?
Speaker 1: I just I just did the one the lady who
Speaker 1: pioneered the like sort of uh yep ideas we now
Speaker 1: accept as maybe truth about psychopathy and uh psychopathy, No,
Speaker 1: no psychopathy, that's right. Uh yeah, that's a good one.
Speaker 1: And that one really delves into the mind of you know,
Speaker 1: what could be going on here? And Alex Gibney always
Speaker 1: he's a guy I like because he always gets a
Speaker 1: little bit, a little bit deeper. He did the scientology doc.
Speaker 1: He's done, man, he's done at all. But one of
Speaker 1: the he got very famous off of the Enron story
Speaker 1: smartest guys in the room right and right right, And
Speaker 1: it wasn't his most famous one. Because it was sort
Speaker 1: of earlier on. But if you go back and watch that,
Speaker 1: holy fucking shit, you don't talk about psychopathy there. That
Speaker 1: that's some psychopathy in there. That's some white collar psychopathy. Interesting.
Speaker 1: All right, I'll have to check that out. M The
Speaker 1: other thing, I think I might have mentioned this, but
Speaker 1: I didn't want to error and not mention it, thinking
Speaker 1: I had promising young woman, great movie. Highly recommend you
Speaker 1: that mention that in the last episode, actually, cause I
Speaker 1: told you my girlfriend loved it until the ending and
Speaker 1: then hey, that's all her girlfriends felt the same. But
Speaker 1: I have heard nothing but good things that I even
Speaker 1: told her that you said that. She goes, well, that's
Speaker 1: because he's a man. Interesting, Okay, I haven't seen it.
Speaker 1: I always see um. I always feel like I've seen
Speaker 1: things because you see the tile pop up on whatever
Speaker 1: platform you're watching, so you see the tile. And when
Speaker 1: Netflix does that very annoying thing where they have that
Speaker 1: sort of loopy trailer, this is I got to stop this.
Speaker 1: So I feel like I've quote unquote seen something. There's
Speaker 1: like a little you know, there's a pixel of a
Speaker 1: memory in my brain that I've seen something. But no,
Speaker 1: I haven't it's good. Uh. And then the last two things.
Speaker 1: One I watched the great very much underseen. I think
Speaker 1: a movie from Tama Jenkins called Private Life a great
Speaker 1: director Slums of Beverly Hills and savages and this is
Speaker 1: only your third movie and she uh Scott Alexander or
Speaker 1: Paul Giamatti and Katherine Hahn about a couple, you know,
Speaker 1: middle aged couple having trouble getting pregnant. And it's very
Speaker 1: heartwarming and fun and especially if you've gone through that
Speaker 1: in real life, it's a it's a good movie. Uh.
Speaker 1: And then finally I saw and I don't want to
Speaker 1: get too much into this, especially because of spoilers, but
Speaker 1: I saw the thing that everyone is kind of talking
Speaker 1: about now in and of itself. Um, have you guys
Speaker 1: seen that yet? No? You have not, Okay, And now
Speaker 1: that you said everyone's talking about it, I feel like
Speaker 1: a leper. It is something that you can't, um really describe,
Speaker 1: and it's one of those things that's best to really
Speaker 1: go in cold. But it was a live performance done
Speaker 1: over the course of like a couple of years. I
Speaker 1: think from this quote unquote magician named Derek uh del Guadio. Uh,
Speaker 1: he did it New York at this small theater. Frankaz
Speaker 1: ended up filming the film version of this live performance,
Speaker 1: and you just got to see it. Man, don't look
Speaker 1: anything up. It's not a magic show quote unquote. There
Speaker 1: are a few. I mean, I guess you'd have to
Speaker 1: call him tricks, but it is not that. It is
Speaker 1: a very deep experience, a storytelling thing, and it is
Speaker 1: like blowing up all over the place. It's really hard
Speaker 1: to describe. I watched it two nights in a row
Speaker 1: so much. I did hear somebody that actually on a
Speaker 1: call recently, is it Does it have some mentalist qualities
Speaker 1: to where he's kind of like getting in your head
Speaker 1: a little bit? Or yeah, I mean just I don't
Speaker 1: want to say anything else about it. Frank like Yoda,
Speaker 1: Frank Oz film maker Frank so Um, Yeah, highly. I
Speaker 1: mean I can't recommend that more. It is very deep,
Speaker 1: stirring stuff. I want to ask you, guys, when when
Speaker 1: was the last time you saw a film that you
Speaker 1: absolutely absolutely had no idea what you were about to watch?
Speaker 1: Well that although I mean I had the faintest idea
Speaker 1: and it was a live you mean like literally knew nothing. Yeah, Like,
Speaker 1: I mean, obviously you knew the name of it or
Speaker 1: something like that. But yeah, Actually, Portraitible Lady on Fire
Speaker 1: I watched recently and I knew it was a foreign
Speaker 1: film about these two young women and one of them
Speaker 1: was being painted, but I didn't really know anything else.
Speaker 1: And that was great. What about you do you have one? I? I, um,
Speaker 1: the original Old Boy. I ran into a friend of mine.
Speaker 1: I think I ran into him randomly in front of
Speaker 1: band in Brooklyn and he was headed in to see
Speaker 1: that movie, and so I said, sure, let's go, and I,
Speaker 1: I mean, that was a great film to get. You know,
Speaker 1: that totally came out of left field. Say that. I've
Speaker 1: been this girl that I've been dating for himful of
Speaker 1: months now. Um, she's really into, you know, watching new movies.
Speaker 1: She doesn't have a huge encyclopedic film knowledge, and so
Speaker 1: we have this list that we've been kind of working
Speaker 1: our way through and we watched Old Boy the other night.
Speaker 1: It's one of my favorites, and I like, imagine, what
Speaker 1: must it be like going into this knowing nothing? And
Speaker 1: that's how she went into it. And by the end
Speaker 1: of it, she was like, what the funk was that?
Speaker 1: I loved it? But I don't know what it was,
Speaker 1: and like it's that movie is so interesting because it's
Speaker 1: like simultaneously it's funny, it's like action packed, and it's
Speaker 1: just absolutely disturbing and has so many crazy implications that
Speaker 1: you can't stop dwelling on for a few days after
Speaker 1: you've watched it. And probably she's a more awesome woman
Speaker 1: because she does not have an encyclopedic film knowledge. Fair. Fair,
Speaker 1: I don't necessarily think that that requisite for being a
Speaker 1: good person. I don't know. It just means you're not
Speaker 1: spending enough time with your friends. No, it's true. What
Speaker 1: have you guys been watching his first? Oh, I'll just go,
Speaker 1: I'll go. I'll go really quickly because this actually sort
Speaker 1: of applies to what you just asked as well. It's
Speaker 1: a it's an anime series actually, And I'm not huge
Speaker 1: anime guy. I love like a Kira and a lot
Speaker 1: of the Studio Ghibli films, like you know, the Miyazaki
Speaker 1: ones in particular, like Spirited Away and stuff, But I'm not,
Speaker 1: like my kids really into anime. And there's some stuff
Speaker 1: that she watches that I can, you know, get on
Speaker 1: board with two. But my buddy is visiting, um, he's
Speaker 1: passing through. He just moved from Brooklyn and he's moving
Speaker 1: to a mobile to help his family out for for
Speaker 1: a little while, and he passed through it. He's like,
Speaker 1: let's watch this show on Netflix called Doro Hidoro, And
Speaker 1: he didn't tell me anything about it. And I don't
Speaker 1: even know how to describe it. It's basically this sort
Speaker 1: of dystopian future world populated by sorcerers who basically use
Speaker 1: human beings as kind of like guinea pigs to practice
Speaker 1: their magic on. And there's this whole industry of these
Speaker 1: like hospitals that are designed to help mitigate the horrific
Speaker 1: kind of disfigureament and like you know, turning people into
Speaker 1: weird mashups of animals and stuff that these sorcerers kind
Speaker 1: of reek on the planet. Uh. And the main character
Speaker 1: is this reptilian um, you know, kind of like dinosaur
Speaker 1: lizard guy who was turned into this thing by a
Speaker 1: sorcerer and he's trying to hunt down the sorcerer that
Speaker 1: did it to him, because when you kill the sorcerer
Speaker 1: that cast the spell, the spell is reversed. But it
Speaker 1: looks like something that like Mobius would have designed for,
Speaker 1: like you know, uh, Jordanowski's Dune like, it's very psychedelic.
Speaker 1: It's like all this mushroom imagery and these crazy kind
Speaker 1: of gritty city scapes and a logic, kind of an
Speaker 1: internal logic to the world and the way the magic
Speaker 1: works that it takes a minute to wrap your head around.
Speaker 1: It's intensely violent but also really funny. Uh And I
Speaker 1: just wasn't expecting it at all, and it just kind
Speaker 1: of blew my mind. And I think it's brilliant, amazing.
Speaker 1: Do you smoke pot any more? Either? But do you
Speaker 1: guys list do you ever list these on the website? No,
Speaker 1: there's no website. I mean we we had the Facebook page,
Speaker 1: so sometimes, uh no, we don't listen them. Like just yea,
Speaker 1: you should throw it out there because certainly there's a
Speaker 1: fan out there who knows a lot more about squarespace
Speaker 1: than we do. That's true. Schneid's what you've been watching?
Speaker 1: Oh man um Actually the Studio Ghibli uh reference reminded
Speaker 1: me of I Hate I Hate you in this because
Speaker 1: I don't remember the title of the of the film,
Speaker 1: but it's it's a documentary about studio Ghibli and and
Speaker 1: and Ghibli's films. You noticed that some stuff you want
Speaker 1: to watch is on like Super super Lockdown, like some
Speaker 1: stuff you can kind of grab on YouTube or kind
Speaker 1: of grab on some platform. And and every now and again,
Speaker 1: you you you come across this vein of films that
Speaker 1: these guys have the licensing or the accessibility on Super
Speaker 1: lock Um, they're all on HBO Max now, every single one. Yeah,
Speaker 1: now there is. And because um, I'm just so I'm
Speaker 1: just so cheap, I don't I don't Yeah, I'm always Yeah,
Speaker 1: why haven't they figured that out yet? Um? I think
Speaker 1: you know, HBO at first said they didn't care. Literally,
Speaker 1: remember when they launched HBO Go and they said what
Speaker 1: about people sharing log ins? And the head of HBO said,
Speaker 1: that's fine. I said, you know, we want people to
Speaker 1: be watching these vies enough people are going to pay
Speaker 1: for it. We can't police this, so we're not gonna
Speaker 1: get too worked up about it. This that is a
Speaker 1: thing that is a that's one of those like economic
Speaker 1: uh uh sort of rules or phenomenon that is exactly
Speaker 1: opposite to what people remember when when Radiohead put that
Speaker 1: album out You're Free right, and people were like, what
Speaker 1: are you crazy? And it's interesting that you make more
Speaker 1: money giving it away from me than you do. Um. Well,
Speaker 1: there's a certain goodwill aspect that makes people want to
Speaker 1: support you in some small way, because in general people
Speaker 1: aren't just like, you know, total dead beats. I mean,
Speaker 1: everyone wants to get what they want their content. But like,
Speaker 1: if someone gives you something and you have this benevolent
Speaker 1: kind of vibe, I'll give you a couple of bucks,
Speaker 1: of course, you know, and you give them the choice.
Speaker 1: You know, I'm giving you the choice to pay for
Speaker 1: what you think I'm you know, I'm worth um which
Speaker 1: I paid. I think I paid like for that radiohead.
Speaker 1: I can't remember, but it is at least double what
Speaker 1: it should have cost, because I remember at the time
Speaker 1: being like, give these more money and maybe cover the
Speaker 1: cost of someone who who couldn't afford it but wants it.
Speaker 1: Right via the gibli doctor talking about the way it's
Speaker 1: called the Kingdom of Dreams and Madness, which is a
Speaker 1: great title. That's that's really good. I I I'm I'm
Speaker 1: always I've always been, um kind of addicted to Frontline
Speaker 1: on PBS, and I just don't to me, there's just
Speaker 1: no you know, there's just no real long form reporting
Speaker 1: besides them that I trust. Um there was a recent
Speaker 1: documentary about to tear Tey in the Philippines and his
Speaker 1: you know, his war on journalism and you know, obviously
Speaker 1: that mirrors what we just dealt with with with Trump,
Speaker 1: but that was herroin UM. There's a documentary called Welcome
Speaker 1: to Chechnya. Have you guys heard about this? Oh man,
Speaker 1: this is UM. It's it's pretty rough stuff, but it's UM.
Speaker 1: It's not gross or you know, not rough stuff like that,
Speaker 1: but it's sort of rough on your heart. It's about
Speaker 1: this UM. It's about a pretty horrifying campaign gets gay
Speaker 1: and lesbian LGBTQ communities in Czechnia and these people are
Speaker 1: um are being I'm telling you hunt. It's it's it's
Speaker 1: like a holocaust for a very small group of people
Speaker 1: who much of the world doesn't give a shit about
Speaker 1: UM and UM. But there was a group of there
Speaker 1: was a filmmaker, this guy David France, who went in
Speaker 1: there and he followed around a group of folks who
Speaker 1: run you know, kind of an underground railroad to get kids,
Speaker 1: mostly kids out of bad situations because of their sexuality
Speaker 1: and UM. There's a few moment and some sort of
Speaker 1: security type camera footage of you know, kids getting beaten up. Um.
Speaker 1: And I like the fact that it doesn't go too
Speaker 1: you know, it doesn't get it doesn't go too far. UM.
Speaker 1: I mean, look that the truth is is we should
Speaker 1: all be staring that kind of thing in the face.
Speaker 1: You know. I think that's my failing for not wanting
Speaker 1: to see more of that in a in a weird way. UM.
Speaker 1: But the fact that um that you know, to me,
Speaker 1: it was like a real hero story. I mean, these
Speaker 1: people that are risking their lives to get these kids
Speaker 1: out of bad situations. And I mean that that that
Speaker 1: whole issue of kids growing you know, gay kids that
Speaker 1: are growing up in situations that are hell bent to
Speaker 1: destroy them. I don't know why, but that's always been Um. Again,
Speaker 1: I have no real personal experience with that, besides having
Speaker 1: you know, you know, besides having great gay friends. UM.
Speaker 1: But for some reason, that's always been uh, that's always
Speaker 1: just that can make me cry. Um. Yeah, man, it's
Speaker 1: because I think I have the same reaction because it's
Speaker 1: two things that you are don't have a choice about.
Speaker 1: You were born a certain way, and you were born
Speaker 1: in a certain place in the situation, and when those
Speaker 1: two things are at odds. Uh, it's just it's the worst.
Speaker 1: It totally speaks to me too. And there's something about that. Um,
Speaker 1: there's something about the expression of being who you are fully.
Speaker 1: I mean, all three of us are white men in
Speaker 1: the Western world. We've been given I mean, my dad
Speaker 1: used to tell me this when I was a kid.
Speaker 1: He used to say, Paul, you're white and you're a male.
Speaker 1: You you're starting way ahead of the pack, Like, don't
Speaker 1: funk this up. And I'm sorry, Dad, I did suck
Speaker 1: it up and I'm sorry, but but um, there's something
Speaker 1: about that. These kids are trying to express themselves. There's
Speaker 1: one scene where a young man is um, he's dressed
Speaker 1: in this you know, sort of grainy video footage. He's
Speaker 1: dressed what looks to be somewhat effeminately, and you know,
Speaker 1: they in my imagination back at home, he's in the
Speaker 1: bathroom getting ready to go out, and he's you know,
Speaker 1: he puts on lipstick, he puts on eyeliner, and finally
Speaker 1: he's doing you know, he finally he's expressing himself in
Speaker 1: this way he's always wanted to. He walks out the
Speaker 1: front door and gets the ship kicked out of him
Speaker 1: and it's absolutely heroine. But that's that's not the point.
Speaker 1: The real point is it's you know, I actually wrote
Speaker 1: the actually did an Instagram post about the film at
Speaker 1: three am, because I started it at I don't know,
Speaker 1: one o'clock in the morning because I wasn't sleeping and
Speaker 1: was glued to the television the whole night. Um, yeah,
Speaker 1: I I wrote about the I may I might have
Speaker 1: written to the filmmaker that night, but it's uh, it's
Speaker 1: it's a it's a off story. But the point is
Speaker 1: is that it's a real heroic story. I mean beyond
Speaker 1: you know, super super superheroes. These people are real heroes.
Speaker 1: What platform is it on? Do you remember that one
Speaker 1: was on that was a stolen password on HBO? Go? Yeah? Alright,
Speaker 1: Uh well, dude, thanks for being here. Is there any
Speaker 1: thing you want to plug that you got coming up
Speaker 1: or you want to talk about or I would much
Speaker 1: I would love to end on a happier note, which
Speaker 1: is I've been, like I said, I've been cruising through
Speaker 1: those old Disney classics on my friends password and um
Speaker 1: I just this morning, when I was sort of awake
Speaker 1: during my daughter's first nap, I started watching Zentropa or Europa.
Speaker 1: Um again that large Fontarier film that I've always loved
Speaker 1: and that one, and people should watch just real quick.
Speaker 1: People should watch My Winnipeg. People should watch I Lost
Speaker 1: My Body, which shut I've already How do you film? Right?
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I think I think I might have texted
Speaker 1: that trailer to Chuck two or three times. It's on
Speaker 1: the list. What was the other with the Winnipeg one?
Speaker 1: My Winnipeg by Guy Madden? It's extrait. It's a new
Speaker 1: he makes new kinds of movies. It's a new kind
Speaker 1: of movie. Oh wow, it was. It was a wilderness
Speaker 1: of error. Good because I don't know that either, but
Speaker 1: I love it more. I have an issue with that.
Speaker 1: I have a real issue with that. Mark Mark smirling
Speaker 1: to me, he ripped Thin Blue Line off so hard
Speaker 1: it was beyond homage and it became you know, I
Speaker 1: started I was watching the film after a certain point
Speaker 1: there was so much that was ripped straight off of
Speaker 1: Thin Blue Line that I actually had my hands up
Speaker 1: like this, going seriously, seriously, isn't Harrol Morris did he
Speaker 1: produce it? Because I know he wrote the book. Well,
Speaker 1: he's the main interview in it as well. Um and
Speaker 1: they used and in the in his interview footage, they
Speaker 1: used the interratron, which is his invention. And it was
Speaker 1: one of those films that was it should There was
Speaker 1: no great ending, you know, there was no great ending.
Speaker 1: And sometimes you know, you shouldn't start true crime documentaries
Speaker 1: unless some kind of some kind of yeah it really
Speaker 1: does and and and what the end says is basically like,
Speaker 1: isn't life crazy? How we never quite know what happens?
Speaker 1: And I was not satisfying ending. I know I could
Speaker 1: just go back and watch them Blue Line again, right right? Um,
Speaker 1: all right, well those are good recommendations, dude, Thank you
Speaker 1: for coming on and taking some time out with a
Speaker 1: little uh little male bonding. Oh yeah, listen, I'll look
