This month's theme is spring Break, and tonight 0:00:48.360 --> 0:00:51.360 we'll be talking about the movie spring Breakers, as well 0:00:51.400 --> 0:00:54.280 as taking calls from listeners with our special guest, Samara Bank. 0:00:54.760 --> 0:00:58.240 Samara is a speech coach who's worked on campaign trail 0:00:58.320 --> 0:01:01.640 stump speeches, awards shows, and you and addresses, and as 0:01:01.640 --> 0:01:04.360 a dialect coach on TV and film sets.

Hi, Samarah, Hello, 0:01:15.120 --> 0:01:17.800 Welcome to Nichol. What if that's how I sounded? Hello, 0:01:18.800 --> 0:01:25.319 this is fire, this is I'm not dr. I mean, 0:01:25.480 --> 0:01:27.600 you know you're in the podcast industry now you have 0:01:27.680 --> 0:01:31.600 to do a radio voice. I've actually been like very 0:01:31.720 --> 0:01:34.440 very curious about that. Yeah, because I'm trying to not 0:01:34.480 --> 0:01:36.920 just fall into some sort of like hackey thing that 0:01:36.959 --> 0:01:39.319 we all grew up with. It comes very naturally to 0:01:39.400 --> 0:01:41.000 some people. I'm always impressed and I go on to 0:01:41.080 --> 0:01:44.360 somebody else's podcast and they have their podcast voice down, 0:01:44.400 --> 0:01:48.240 I'm like, I want one of those. I would I 0:01:48.240 --> 0:01:50.640 would almost argue the opposite that, like, the whole point 0:01:50.680 --> 0:01:52.600 is that we should sound the same as we do. 0:01:52.640 --> 0:01:56.200 All right, we're just hanging out with our friends. My 0:01:56.280 --> 0:01:58.080 dad was a DJ, and people would always be like, 0:01:58.160 --> 0:02:00.480 do your DJ voice, and you'd be like, I'm doing it. 0:02:02.880 --> 0:02:07.000 That's the dream. Yeah, I like a conversational podcast, as 0:02:07.080 --> 0:02:10.240 you can tell. I used to get so many complaints 0:02:10.280 --> 0:02:11.880 and I used to be a DJ at Kicks Tell 0:02:11.960 --> 0:02:14.240 You because I would just sound like so checked out, 0:02:14.480 --> 0:02:16.000 Like I would just sound because it was two in 0:02:16.040 --> 0:02:19.920 the morning. These kicks now you have to be like, 0:02:20.160 --> 0:02:25.959 UM just played some um filling the blank of a ball. 0:02:26.240 --> 0:02:29.200 My favorite is the is the teenage boy with the 0:02:29.280 --> 0:02:31.519 voice cracking on Kicks Tell You where It's it's like 0:02:31.560 --> 0:02:35.120 a little like late so actually just sent us a 0:02:35.160 --> 0:02:38.480 little message about show that is on Kicks Sell You 0:02:38.760 --> 0:02:42.800 that is about mushrooms and music. Oh awesome. There's been 0:02:42.840 --> 0:02:45.960 a lot of long running like psychedelia type shows on 0:02:46.080 --> 0:02:48.519 there that I've been around since I was on It's 0:02:48.560 --> 0:02:51.400 for those who don't know. Kicks Tell You is basically 0:02:51.480 --> 0:02:54.560 the college radio station of Los Angeles because the other 0:02:54.560 --> 0:02:57.920 college radio stations are like MPR stations, um, but Kicks 0:02:57.960 --> 0:02:59.960 Tell You is the true like spirit of college RD 0:03:00.240 --> 0:03:03.160 that we have here in Los Angeles and at Nightcall. 0:03:05.360 --> 0:03:07.239 Have you ever listened? No, I've never heard of it 0:03:07.320 --> 0:03:10.000 until this one. I was glad for your never heard 0:03:11.000 --> 0:03:13.400 until like a year and a half ago, and everyone 0:03:13.440 --> 0:03:15.080 was like, yes, of course, cakes all you and I 0:03:15.120 --> 0:03:17.400 was like, right, I've only lived here for most of 0:03:17.440 --> 0:03:21.160 my life and had no idea this exists all the 0:03:21.200 --> 0:03:24.160 way on the left. The spirit, the spirit of college 0:03:24.240 --> 0:03:29.320 radio kicks here on Nightcall, the spirit of spring break 0:03:29.400 --> 0:03:33.399 is alive for March. Uh. We're not getting brought down 0:03:33.440 --> 0:03:38.200 by no coronavirus. We're gonna talking about the coronavirus as 0:03:38.240 --> 0:03:43.040 it is an appropriately post apocalyptic nightcall type topic. But 0:03:43.360 --> 0:03:45.840 Emily is wearing like a very nice tropical shirt today. 0:03:46.960 --> 0:03:51.720 Test is wearing like some some cheetahs. The cheetahs. I 0:03:51.800 --> 0:03:54.440 got some I got some cut offs. Yeah, you go. Shirt. 0:03:54.520 --> 0:03:56.560 It feels like spring. I have a tank top. Well, 0:03:56.560 --> 0:03:58.680 it feels like spring outside. Right now I have like 0:03:58.720 --> 0:04:00.880 a new burst of energy because it actually feels a 0:04:00.920 --> 0:04:03.600 little summary. I'm worried about the weather. I don't like 0:04:03.640 --> 0:04:06.040 this weather. It's too hot. It went from being cold 0:04:06.240 --> 0:04:09.880 too hot. It's like eighties six right now it's too hot, 0:04:09.880 --> 0:04:13.720 too soon. Apocalyptic. Yeah, it's like someone just turned a Swiss. 0:04:13.720 --> 0:04:15.800 That's how it is in Los Angeles. But it's like 0:04:15.960 --> 0:04:21.840 disease germinating story. I think Richard rush Field said something 0:04:22.160 --> 0:04:29.719 point pandemic weathers, pandemic season in Los Angeles. Well, before 0:04:29.839 --> 0:04:33.200 we get into pandemics, let's take a quick nightcall. Last 0:04:33.240 --> 0:04:36.760 week we covered um wellness and this kind of bridges. 0:04:36.880 --> 0:04:40.600 This was a nightcall coming from Linda. Hey, I am 0:04:40.640 --> 0:04:43.200 halfway through your latest podcast where y'all are discussing the 0:04:43.200 --> 0:04:46.000 film Cocoon in relation to wellness. I immediately thought you 0:04:46.000 --> 0:04:50.000 were going to introduce the comedy drama The Road to Wellville. 0:04:50.200 --> 0:04:52.840 It's all about creepy wellness slash scams and has an 0:04:52.839 --> 0:04:55.840 all star nineties cast. We should do that movie for 0:04:55.880 --> 0:04:57.960 the Movie Club because I've never seen any there, none 0:04:57.960 --> 0:04:59.920 of us have. So it doesn't get very good reviews. 0:05:00.080 --> 0:05:02.960 It's loosely based I think on John Harvey Kellogg, the 0:05:03.080 --> 0:05:06.839 Kellogg serial guy, isn't the night called Protocol? Doesn't get 0:05:06.960 --> 0:05:10.520 very good reviews, but sounds very strange. Well, later we're 0:05:10.560 --> 0:05:14.200 talking about spring Breakers, which I forgot didn't get great reviews. 0:05:14.320 --> 0:05:17.919 Is that true? I think, well, it got like a 0:05:18.000 --> 0:05:21.320 fifty six percent. I think just make didn't it make 0:05:21.360 --> 0:05:22.920 a lot of money? It made a ton of money. 0:05:22.920 --> 0:05:24.479 I think we can talk about this later, but I 0:05:24.480 --> 0:05:26.280 think it really did Mark Attorney and point both in 0:05:26.360 --> 0:05:31.200 terms of film and film criticism. Yeah, criticism was intense. 0:05:32.240 --> 0:05:34.200 People didn't know it. Yeah, yeah, there were a lot 0:05:34.200 --> 0:05:39.680 of think yeah. Um. But with John Harvey Kellogg, like 0:05:39.760 --> 0:05:42.440 he is kind of this example. I think of somebody 0:05:42.440 --> 0:05:44.640 who got rich off of something, in this case cereal, 0:05:44.680 --> 0:05:47.800 and then went down a path of one pre date 0:05:47.880 --> 0:05:51.440 the other. He had a really just very strange, like 0:05:51.560 --> 0:05:54.000 childhoo an upbringing. He came from a very religious family. 0:05:54.040 --> 0:05:57.599 I believe they were preppers um. And at some point 0:05:57.640 --> 0:06:00.200 he he was a doctor. He ran a sanitary him 0:06:00.200 --> 0:06:03.480 like he did a lot of good stuff in his life. Um, 0:06:03.520 --> 0:06:06.080 he was an early adopter of the clean living movement. 0:06:06.240 --> 0:06:11.080 No smoking, no drinking, just crea which, by the way, 0:06:11.080 --> 0:06:13.440 you can prep really well. Oh that's the thing is 0:06:13.480 --> 0:06:16.280 it's like you, it's a shelf stable thing unless you 0:06:16.320 --> 0:06:19.719 get cereal moss very serious cereal moss um. But he 0:06:19.800 --> 0:06:22.400 was on the colony. Yeah, he was very he was 0:06:22.440 --> 0:06:24.440 like your gut flora. He was one of the first 0:06:24.440 --> 0:06:27.719 people who knew about Governor was an anti masturbation act. Well, 0:06:27.800 --> 0:06:30.880 that's the thing. So besides like inventing peanut butter, he 0:06:30.960 --> 0:06:34.160 was also like if you masturbate, you're like you're just 0:06:34.240 --> 0:06:37.840 destroying or related to the Graham crackers, Yes, it is. 0:06:38.320 --> 0:06:41.320 It's all of the cereal products along with Graham crackers. 0:06:41.320 --> 0:06:46.599 We're supposed to be anti masturbation tools and also yeah tools, 0:06:47.360 --> 0:06:51.680 they're so delicious. Never want to drop off again if 0:06:51.720 --> 0:06:54.360 you're Yeah, I think it's all part of just eating 0:06:54.400 --> 0:06:58.360 like a plain cardboardy diet was supposed to suppress. It's 0:06:58.440 --> 0:07:02.840 very pitic. Yeah, like if we just eat like wheat paste, 0:07:02.960 --> 0:07:08.440 like the opposite of an oyster. How is this graham crime? 0:07:09.440 --> 0:07:13.680 What is the blandest food yeah, the most like, yeah, 0:07:13.680 --> 0:07:17.720 a depressionaire, although this is pre depressionaire. Yeah, this is 0:07:17.760 --> 0:07:20.480 like healthy. Try it also to be like Bland food is, 0:07:20.520 --> 0:07:24.280 but it's sugary. That's not healthy. Corn flakes, Yeah, that's 0:07:24.320 --> 0:07:29.160 frosted flakes. But Graham crackers are sugary. Graham crackers are 0:07:29.160 --> 0:07:33.200 delicious recipe. That's true. It could have been like the 0:07:33.280 --> 0:07:37.640 bad Graham Bland. It happens in the movie. That's a 0:07:37.680 --> 0:07:41.520 good question. I have a conspiracy theory. Yeah, is that 0:07:41.560 --> 0:07:48.680 why they give s'mores to Scouts? Oh that's very extra man. 0:07:49.200 --> 0:07:54.760 But then there's goo. Yeah, the chocolate completely. Grands can 0:07:54.800 --> 0:07:57.840 pass over. You make a sandwich with the crackers and 0:07:58.000 --> 0:08:00.640 like the bitter thing and the sweet thing. But it's 0:08:00.680 --> 0:08:03.520 all to be like here's what you have to repress 0:08:03.960 --> 0:08:07.920 your feeling. Right about this, I really really appreciate that analogy. 0:08:08.640 --> 0:08:11.400 I see you with us. You keep it all in 0:08:11.480 --> 0:08:15.000 with the Bland crackers on the outside of the land, like, 0:08:15.080 --> 0:08:18.240 don't enjoy life too much. I would love to put 0:08:18.240 --> 0:08:20.840 together a program of wellness themed movies. It seems like 0:08:20.880 --> 0:08:22.920 there are more of them than we previously. We just 0:08:23.000 --> 0:08:27.240 hit on. Yeah, I think wellness and doomsday cult is 0:08:27.280 --> 0:08:31.320 the ven diagram of nightcall, so it seems like that 0:08:31.360 --> 0:08:35.520 would fit right in tomorrow. What are your thoughts on wellness? Um? 0:08:36.040 --> 0:08:39.560 I feel like it can be exploited way too easily, 0:08:40.240 --> 0:08:43.160 um and turned into something to just make people feel 0:08:43.160 --> 0:08:47.080 like they're doing another thing wrong. Yeah, guilt mechanism. And 0:08:47.160 --> 0:08:49.840 on the other hand, if by wellness we don't mean 0:08:49.840 --> 0:08:53.440 the corrupted form, then I think we can see it 0:08:53.480 --> 0:08:55.880 as a call to arms. I'm like literally thinking about 0:08:55.880 --> 0:08:58.160 Audre Lord right now. It can be a call to 0:08:58.320 --> 0:09:01.160 arms about the kind of self care that actually is 0:09:01.200 --> 0:09:02.880 like being in touch with your body and remembering that 0:09:02.880 --> 0:09:06.079 your body is where all your best decisions get made. 0:09:06.760 --> 0:09:10.840 And so yeah, I think it's a complicated, Uh, it is. 0:09:10.920 --> 0:09:13.280 It's interesting. It was interesting to talk to January. She 0:09:13.280 --> 0:09:15.840 she had a lot of opinions about Goop and Gwyneth 0:09:15.840 --> 0:09:18.959 Paltrow that I feel like, I now, I'm like, I'm like, oh, 0:09:19.000 --> 0:09:20.600 I don't know, I don't, I don't. I think I 0:09:20.640 --> 0:09:22.560 have to take back every nice thing I ever said 0:09:22.600 --> 0:09:25.800 about about Goop. She made a strong case, but I mean, 0:09:25.880 --> 0:09:28.760 I thought that was fascinating because she did sort of 0:09:28.800 --> 0:09:30.679 be like she can do all that other stuff just 0:09:30.760 --> 0:09:33.400 don't sell, just don't sell. But I saw the skill. 0:09:33.800 --> 0:09:37.640 I did see something also on the go Instagram that 0:09:37.760 --> 0:09:40.880 was like a makeup free dinner, which is, I believe 0:09:40.880 --> 0:09:43.440 a concept I first saw in the Real Housewives of Atlanta. 0:09:43.800 --> 0:09:45.840 But I was like, that's only those things time. I'm 0:09:45.840 --> 0:09:48.199 just like, what is this accomplished? Like you're going to 0:09:48.320 --> 0:09:51.280 feel better about how you look without makeup because you're 0:09:51.280 --> 0:09:54.400 like around other people. It's just like, I don't know, 0:09:55.240 --> 0:09:57.080 it feels it seems like the whole thing could be 0:09:57.120 --> 0:10:00.080 so easily destroyed if just one person cheated a I 0:10:00.120 --> 0:10:05.520 need it. That's what happened. MAP believe that's what happened 0:10:05.520 --> 0:10:08.800 on Real Housewives of Atlanta. They were like, you're wearing concealer. 0:10:08.920 --> 0:10:11.640 Like I can tell um some of these people were 0:10:11.679 --> 0:10:14.640 probably wearing a concealer. But yeah, I was just like, 0:10:14.679 --> 0:10:17.480 what does this even mean? Like how does this relate 0:10:17.559 --> 0:10:21.000 in any way to like wellness or feminism. It's just 0:10:21.120 --> 0:10:24.200 like it made me sad. I was like, You've gone 0:10:24.240 --> 0:10:28.800 your whole life feeling uncomfortable without makeup. Like Gras Paltrow 0:10:29.880 --> 0:10:32.360 take an improv class. That's what she said, apparently on 0:10:32.400 --> 0:10:35.640 her own podcast, that she felt bad she hadn't done 0:10:35.679 --> 0:10:39.599 now that she was retired Danddario was posting this, he 0:10:39.679 --> 0:10:43.080 was like, it's really sad. She's like talking to Julia 0:10:43.120 --> 0:10:45.920 Louis Dreyfust and she's like, I really regret never taking 0:10:45.960 --> 0:10:49.839 an improv class and now I'm retired late for me 0:10:50.200 --> 0:10:55.880 take the improv class any selling the eggs where she 0:10:55.920 --> 0:10:58.240 would not be able to fit into an improv class 0:11:00.080 --> 0:11:04.760 eight one, but you maybe she made some intensive accent 0:11:04.840 --> 0:11:08.080 training for that. That's right, that's right. I can tell 0:11:08.120 --> 0:11:10.240 that that was what I was thinking for what she 0:11:10.240 --> 0:11:12.720 would love that actually, because she seems like such a 0:11:12.960 --> 0:11:14.720 type a person to where it's like she wants to 0:11:14.720 --> 0:11:17.440 be like rewarded for being good at things. She was 0:11:17.520 --> 0:11:19.920 like very famous for being a fake British person for 0:11:19.960 --> 0:11:24.080 a while. Okay, she can sing, she should train with 0:11:24.120 --> 0:11:28.840 you for My Fair Lady on Broadway? Her face? Which 0:11:28.840 --> 0:11:33.000 sum Do you have any recollection or opinions about Gwyneth 0:11:33.000 --> 0:11:37.840 Paltrow's famous British accent? Are you talking about um? Shakespeare 0:11:37.880 --> 0:11:41.240 in Love? Yeah, Shakespeare Love Emma? There was okay, like 0:11:42.040 --> 0:11:45.120 really I have a really annoying um answer to that, 0:11:45.160 --> 0:11:49.200 which is no, um. And secondarily that there's sort of 0:11:49.240 --> 0:11:51.440 like a thing among dialect coaches that you don't talk 0:11:51.440 --> 0:11:54.040 about other dialect coaches work, and I'm sure she has 0:11:54.080 --> 0:11:57.560 worked with other dialect This is like a whole world 0:11:57.640 --> 0:12:01.080 because here's the here's the reasoning is. Just like you 0:12:01.120 --> 0:12:03.960 know there's a gag order, because there's no gag order. 0:12:04.120 --> 0:12:06.160 The reasoning is. And I know this from being on 0:12:06.320 --> 0:12:10.880 sets myself. No one knows except the creatives involved, me, 0:12:11.040 --> 0:12:13.679 the act or the creative team whatever, what story we're 0:12:13.679 --> 0:12:16.360 actually trying to tell with the accent. So it isn't 0:12:16.360 --> 0:12:18.120 just like there's a good accent and there's a bad accent. 0:12:18.160 --> 0:12:19.800 It's like, who is this human being and what is she? 0:12:19.880 --> 0:12:21.960 I mean, obviously this sounds very generous, but it is true. 0:12:22.040 --> 0:12:24.559 Who is this human being? And what has she been through? 0:12:24.600 --> 0:12:26.360 And how much of an accent does she have? You know, 0:12:26.440 --> 0:12:28.600 all of us sound different from every been What about 0:12:28.640 --> 0:12:32.560 accent coaches that are dead? Can you talk talk? I'm like, 0:12:32.600 --> 0:12:35.800 I'm like, what's the worst accent? You want? That? Like 0:12:36.080 --> 0:12:40.840 mean dish? I'm just say I just rewatched Mary Poppins 0:12:40.880 --> 0:12:43.720 this weekend with my kid, and it wasn't as bad 0:12:43.760 --> 0:12:47.680 as everybody think the original or the new one. The 0:12:47.720 --> 0:12:49.800 original I have not yet. I have not yet dipped 0:12:49.800 --> 0:12:52.160 my tone into I would be interested to see what 0:12:52.200 --> 0:12:55.280 you Manel is very much not dead. Whereas I was 0:12:56.120 --> 0:12:58.640 also said that his bad Cockney accent was like in 0:12:58.679 --> 0:13:01.280 the spirit of Dick van Dyke bad Cockney. I would 0:13:01.360 --> 0:13:04.040 not I would give him all the all the credits 0:13:04.480 --> 0:13:07.400 saying that Dick van Dyke's a Cockney accent and in 0:13:07.520 --> 0:13:10.199 Mary Poppins is so like it's something I never remember 0:13:10.280 --> 0:13:12.880 not being exposed to. So for me, it's never been 0:13:12.960 --> 0:13:15.440 bad because it's just like, it's what he it's what 0:13:15.520 --> 0:13:19.280 that character said. We didn't have much of like a 0:13:19.360 --> 0:13:23.480 real Cockney accent to compare it again, and to be 0:13:23.600 --> 0:13:27.120 fair additionally, I mean my my agent, who is the 0:13:27.120 --> 0:13:29.200 one who sort of represents all the dialect coaches who 0:13:29.280 --> 0:13:32.040 do this stuff. She always started doing this in the eighties, 0:13:32.080 --> 0:13:35.439 Like there weren't dialect coaches before that. Really, it wasn't 0:13:35.440 --> 0:13:37.959 a thing like if you think back to the early 0:13:38.000 --> 0:13:41.200 eighties to whatever prior to that, there's like people who 0:13:41.200 --> 0:13:47.200 were German sounded British because British equaled elsewhere. That is true. 0:13:47.200 --> 0:13:49.080 I have been watching a lot of Hitchcock movies, and 0:13:49.120 --> 0:13:52.360 there's definitely just like European all over the place, mixed 0:13:52.400 --> 0:13:56.080 in with American like Atlantic accent, rich people voice, and 0:13:56.080 --> 0:14:00.680 it's very very hard to tell who's from where. Um, 0:14:00.720 --> 0:14:06.240 that's exactly right, the rich people voice. I read things 0:14:06.240 --> 0:14:08.400 about how he trained himself to do that voice because 0:14:08.400 --> 0:14:13.320 he was actually working class. It's elocution. Elocution which is 0:14:13.360 --> 0:14:16.760 also like the old timey term that because they wouldn't 0:14:16.760 --> 0:14:18.400 have at the time used what I'm about to say, 0:14:18.679 --> 0:14:22.320 which is white supremacy. It is fully that that accent 0:14:22.360 --> 0:14:24.240 of like this is what educated sounds like. It was 0:14:24.280 --> 0:14:27.120 taught to people. No one was born with that accent. 0:14:27.600 --> 0:14:32.120 Catherine Hepburn didn't come out saying, y'are We'll take a 0:14:32.120 --> 0:14:51.000 break and be back with smart Welcome back to nightcall. 0:14:51.560 --> 0:14:56.000 You're just talking about accent, coach, how would you the 0:14:56.000 --> 0:15:00.560 technical thing was dialectic dialect, coach, Smart b You're sitting 0:15:00.600 --> 0:15:03.680 here and tomorrow and I have the sniffles, and it 0:15:03.840 --> 0:15:05.880 is I have to say, the worst point in time 0:15:06.320 --> 0:15:10.360 of my life to have been inflicted with sniffles, because 0:15:10.440 --> 0:15:14.040 we are in the middle of a coronavirus outbreak. I 0:15:14.080 --> 0:15:17.000 feel like I remember the exact day that, like, earlier 0:15:17.000 --> 0:15:19.280 in the day you were like, oh, I think I 0:15:19.320 --> 0:15:21.560 have allergies, and by that even you're like, nope, I 0:15:21.560 --> 0:15:23.160 have a cold. And it was like the same day 0:15:23.200 --> 0:15:26.320 that's suddenly all of the news about coronavirus was just 0:15:26.400 --> 0:15:29.880 red flag all are you seeing? I'm patient zero. Yeah 0:15:29.920 --> 0:15:34.640 you are, Gwyneth Paltrow. But I feel like you and 0:15:34.680 --> 0:15:36.480 I like an opposite ends of the extreme because it 0:15:36.480 --> 0:15:40.640 did not occur to me at all coronavirus and you're like, 0:15:41.400 --> 0:15:44.280 just like, it's not I keep telling I've mentioned today 0:15:44.360 --> 0:15:47.720 to six people, seven people. I'm like, hello, I don't 0:15:47.720 --> 0:15:51.440 have coronavirus. I merely have a cold. But it's like 0:15:51.480 --> 0:15:57.080 I'm not a sure symptoms are not on paranoid high 0:15:57.800 --> 0:16:00.360 and it is such a weird mood. Especially it's just 0:16:00.480 --> 0:16:03.160 like a very nice day out. Um. But I did 0:16:03.200 --> 0:16:07.120 see like somebody cough and everybody everyone freaked out turned away, 0:16:07.160 --> 0:16:09.120 and I was like, oh no, like this is bad. 0:16:09.640 --> 0:16:12.080 We were on this is actually like wait. But when 0:16:12.120 --> 0:16:13.480 I was in New York a couple of weeks ago, 0:16:13.560 --> 0:16:15.040 and there was this girl who I think had just 0:16:15.080 --> 0:16:17.440 been drinking water and it went down the wrong pipe 0:16:17.880 --> 0:16:20.400 and she started coughing and hacking, like you know, she 0:16:20.400 --> 0:16:22.280 couldn't stop coughing. It was just one of those things 0:16:22.280 --> 0:16:24.880 where you just like really went down the wrong pipe. 0:16:25.000 --> 0:16:27.440 But everybody was looking around and looking at her. She 0:16:27.480 --> 0:16:31.400 was like, guys, guys, I don't have the coronavirus. I 0:16:31.440 --> 0:16:35.560 felt so bad for her. It was very Yeah, so 0:16:35.920 --> 0:16:38.720 that it's it's, you know, conveniently a great time for 0:16:38.800 --> 0:16:41.840 us to be in spring break month here. Did you 0:16:41.960 --> 0:16:44.800 see um? Did you guys see the akira meme going 0:16:44.840 --> 0:16:48.120 around today? Well, I forget how many days it is 0:16:48.160 --> 0:16:51.640 before the Olympics in Tokyo that might get canceled because 0:16:51.680 --> 0:16:56.360 of the coronavirus um. And there's like a thing in 0:16:56.360 --> 0:16:58.240 a cira whether like a hundred and forty nine days 0:16:58.280 --> 0:17:01.440 before the Olympics um, and somebody has like tagged the 0:17:01.480 --> 0:17:04.760 sign with like just canceled them good, So it was 0:17:04.800 --> 0:17:08.400 going viral. Just canceled them because everybody was like, it's 0:17:08.440 --> 0:17:12.440 that many days now before the Tokyo Olympics. Just canceled them, 0:17:12.480 --> 0:17:16.679 like it's not worth it. Yeah, it is a weird 0:17:17.200 --> 0:17:21.160 on the nose, it's very weird. I think the thing 0:17:21.280 --> 0:17:24.200 that I keep kind of calming down about it, and 0:17:24.240 --> 0:17:27.040 then there will be another wave of things that kind 0:17:27.040 --> 0:17:31.720 of illustrate how it would just be so disruptive. The 0:17:31.760 --> 0:17:35.639 media is doing a terrible job because they're both like 0:17:35.720 --> 0:17:40.080 the government is probably misreporting it to try and like 0:17:40.200 --> 0:17:43.720 not scare people, because that's what they already did in China. 0:17:43.800 --> 0:17:48.199 That's what they were doing in China, and that's probably 0:17:48.680 --> 0:17:50.320 what a lot of the governments are going to do. 0:17:51.359 --> 0:17:53.280 I mean, I think like one of the things that's 0:17:53.320 --> 0:17:56.280 kind of terrifying you Molly mentioned, so they've they've called 0:17:56.280 --> 0:17:58.439 off school for a month in both China and Japan. 0:17:58.520 --> 0:18:02.320 I believe in Germany. I but I've certainly heard Germany 0:18:02.359 --> 0:18:05.280 for school closes, so that that was interesting. We've I've 0:18:05.280 --> 0:18:08.520 gotten communications from both of my kids schools they're in 0:18:08.520 --> 0:18:11.400 preschool and elementary school about like the measures that they're 0:18:11.440 --> 0:18:15.040 taking to try and keep everyone healthy. Their gymnastics class 0:18:15.119 --> 0:18:18.800 was like, just please keep your kids home if they're sick. 0:18:19.280 --> 0:18:21.720 So it's like, even when you can kind of tune 0:18:21.720 --> 0:18:25.360 out the panic, it like just arrives in your inbox, 0:18:25.480 --> 0:18:29.600 Like I feel bad that Steven Soderberg always goes viral 0:18:29.960 --> 0:18:33.840 for all the wrong reasons, you know, like it is 0:18:33.880 --> 0:18:37.840 like a lot of Americans only reference point for something 0:18:37.920 --> 0:18:40.760 like this is the movie Contagion, for sure, and that's 0:18:40.760 --> 0:18:43.600 people's only reference point for anything is a movie. When 0:18:43.680 --> 0:18:46.199 nine eleven happened, I was like, this is just like 0:18:46.240 --> 0:18:53.000 the movie Independence Day. That was like, yes, she's good 0:18:53.040 --> 0:18:55.399 in Contagion. She's been doing jokes about it, which again 0:18:55.560 --> 0:18:58.760 is like she's so bad at being self aware of funny. 0:18:59.080 --> 0:19:03.320 She's the improv class. I don't know, I have been 0:19:03.400 --> 0:19:05.919 like kind of interested by some of the sub stories 0:19:05.920 --> 0:19:08.080 around I think I think still for us here, it's 0:19:08.119 --> 0:19:11.240 like it's still pretty abstract. We can only see numbers, 0:19:11.240 --> 0:19:13.000 and I feel like there's going to be some threshold 0:19:13.040 --> 0:19:15.480 of number of like you know, reported cases where we're 0:19:15.480 --> 0:19:17.520 going to be like, oh, ship, it is probably going 0:19:17.600 --> 0:19:20.280 to be like actually realistically well below what the number 0:19:20.320 --> 0:19:23.440 actually is because of people reporting it. But like, I 0:19:23.480 --> 0:19:25.520 don't know, did you guys see this thing about because 0:19:25.520 --> 0:19:29.680 everybody's still on quarantine in in or just lockdown and 0:19:29.720 --> 0:19:33.480 general in um China, but like in Wuhan they're doing 0:19:33.520 --> 0:19:38.280 all these um like live streamed underground like punk shows 0:19:38.320 --> 0:19:42.280 and stuff. Yeah, and then like all these people are 0:19:42.320 --> 0:19:45.360 just like doing shows in their living rooms because they 0:19:45.359 --> 0:19:47.880 can't go anywhere and because nobody else can go anywhere. 0:19:48.119 --> 0:19:51.199 And it's actually like kind of it's like again, this 0:19:51.280 --> 0:19:55.720 is very like dystopian circumstance. Dystopian. Yeah, it's like it's 0:19:55.720 --> 0:19:59.840 like the human spirit years. It's like super will find 0:19:59.840 --> 0:20:02.919 a way. Yeah, totally. I like that because that feels 0:20:02.920 --> 0:20:06.000 like a weird countermeasure to these Netflix shows now that 0:20:06.080 --> 0:20:09.840 are like people between a wall and like yeah, yeah, 0:20:09.880 --> 0:20:12.760 well it's just it's just like I think that there 0:20:12.840 --> 0:20:17.640 is obviously, maybe reasonably, a desire to not report accurate 0:20:17.680 --> 0:20:20.159 numbers are not send people into a panic, but also 0:20:20.240 --> 0:20:23.160 like the country where they're already not allowed to go out, 0:20:23.280 --> 0:20:26.280 people are coping, and people are finding a way to 0:20:26.359 --> 0:20:29.400 like still you know, yeah, that's to communicate with each 0:20:29.400 --> 0:20:33.080 other and not have a complete shutdown society, and Americ 0:20:33.160 --> 0:20:36.480 comedian narrative has been so racist about oh yeah, it's 0:20:36.520 --> 0:20:39.320 insane there. I mean, I just heard from people here 0:20:39.320 --> 0:20:42.320 in l A that like people weren't going to certain 0:20:42.359 --> 0:20:45.199 Chinese restaurants and like freaking Silver Lake. How about the 0:20:45.200 --> 0:20:48.640 people not drinking Corona beer, which is like the strangest 0:20:48.760 --> 0:20:55.760 thing that story was planted by a pr flak where 0:20:55.760 --> 0:20:58.840 it was like a real like you know, show your 0:20:58.880 --> 0:21:02.399 metal drink a corrona. It was. I would totally believe 0:21:02.440 --> 0:21:04.879 it was fake because it made me. I was I 0:21:04.920 --> 0:21:08.160 panicked again, Like when people are so dumb and they're 0:21:08.160 --> 0:21:11.840 not even drinking beer, what's going on? Funny how people 0:21:11.880 --> 0:21:14.679 do get to like absurdism really fast, which feels like 0:21:14.720 --> 0:21:16.600 sort of just the state of everything all the time. 0:21:16.640 --> 0:21:20.199 Now it's like everything so insane, like it couldn't just 0:21:20.240 --> 0:21:24.040 like the events of Akira, like actually taking place in 0:21:24.160 --> 0:21:26.960 real time, like a few months after the Blade Runner 0:21:27.400 --> 0:21:29.040 sort of felt like we had caught up to Blue, 0:21:29.160 --> 0:21:32.000 like the Carson Plan exploded the other day and went virals. 0:21:32.000 --> 0:21:34.639 People are like, oh, it's play Runner anyway. Yeah, it 0:21:34.720 --> 0:21:37.200 just feels like what are you gonna do but laugh 0:21:37.240 --> 0:21:39.520 about it? I mean, there's not much. Have any of 0:21:39.600 --> 0:21:43.439 you guys read the book Station eleven? I haven't. My 0:21:43.520 --> 0:21:45.679 husband read it, but yeah, okay, well and then if 0:21:45.840 --> 0:21:47.320 we're not worth we don't need to bring it up. 0:21:47.359 --> 0:21:49.920 I've heard it, but maybe don't read it right now 0:21:50.000 --> 0:21:54.920 is what I've heard as a TV version. But um, 0:21:55.040 --> 0:21:58.320 but Station eleven is one of the few novels have 0:21:58.400 --> 0:22:00.240 actually made time for in the last few years. But 0:22:00.359 --> 0:22:02.040 here's what I want to say. It takes place in 0:22:02.080 --> 0:22:04.399 all different times, but one of the sort of like 0:22:04.440 --> 0:22:07.160 primary time it keeps going to is like twenty years, 0:22:07.240 --> 0:22:09.880 I want to say, after a massive pandemic wipes out 0:22:09.880 --> 0:22:13.360 like ninety something percent. But it actually left me kind 0:22:13.359 --> 0:22:15.880 of hopeful because I'm the only thinking about people who 0:22:15.880 --> 0:22:18.040 made it, and I'm like, I'm gonna make it or not. 0:22:18.400 --> 0:22:20.600 But so every time I think about these pandemics, I'm 0:22:20.600 --> 0:22:23.120 always like, those people will still be like doing their 0:22:23.119 --> 0:22:26.280 cool stuff twenty years. That's the problem that is that 0:22:26.359 --> 0:22:28.240 all of our reference onints for this and movies are 0:22:28.240 --> 0:22:31.359 like cozy catastrophe movies, where like a group of survivors 0:22:31.359 --> 0:22:33.920 banded together and like fight against whatever the thing is. 0:22:33.960 --> 0:22:36.639 If it's like zombies or a disease or like a 0:22:36.760 --> 0:22:39.680
