Speaker 1: Welcome to movie Crush, a production of I Heart Radio.
Speaker 1: Hey everybody, welcome to Many Crush. Uh special Friday Sick edition.
Speaker 1: It's been a while since were many A crushed together
Speaker 1: in this room. He sang that dumb song. It was
Speaker 1: a creed No Stained, I don't know it was one
Speaker 1: of them train. I think it was stained. I don't
Speaker 1: even know stained. Who would name a band stained? For good?
Speaker 1: And it was spelled like s T A I N
Speaker 1: D God? Was there a little apostrophe's a stylized spelling.
Speaker 1: I remember they were a limp Biscuit Discovery and they
Speaker 1: had some Christian undertones. Not that I'm dogging them for that,
Speaker 1: I just pointing it out interesting. Uh so, do you
Speaker 1: know the deal? Did you get those emails this morning? Here?
Speaker 1: What we're doing here? What emails? No? Uh so I'm sick?
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, but we saw. I was confused because I'm like,
Speaker 1: you're sick, but you're gonna expose meteor sickness but not Pam. Yes, okay, no,
Speaker 1: Pam was I was supposed to record. Here's the deal?
Speaker 1: Everyone is. I fell ill over the weekend. I don't
Speaker 1: know what the funk has torn through my body all
Speaker 1: but Uh, I don't know. I've never been sick quite
Speaker 1: like this sounds visceral, chuck. I have a lump on
Speaker 1: my head. I've got chills, a cough, and overnight stuff
Speaker 1: started coming out the back end, so it's it's not
Speaker 1: pleasant now. Is the lump possibly unrelated? Did you maybe
Speaker 1: take up tumble because of another ailments and then you
Speaker 1: got a bump? No? No, no, it could be a
Speaker 1: limp node from my Google research, got it? Yeah, puffing up.
Speaker 1: But so here's the deal. I was supposed to record
Speaker 1: with um Our in house graphic designer Pam Peacock. We're
Speaker 1: doing Eternal Sunshine in the Spotless Mind. Pam is great,
Speaker 1: as I'm sure you will attest. And uh, that was
Speaker 1: gonna be this afternoon, but I have a doctor's appointment now,
Speaker 1: so I'm pushing that, which means I have no episodes
Speaker 1: for Friday, which means we are going to do this
Speaker 1: now a special mini crush on Friday, nol and then
Speaker 1: the second when we record today, which I will still
Speaker 1: be sick in forty minutes, we'll be released on Monday.
Speaker 1: Are you around next week? I'm around next week. Um,
Speaker 1: I am not in Monday, but I'm in the rest
Speaker 1: of the weekend. Okay, so we'll get back on track. Um.
Speaker 1: And then I go to MAXI fun Con next week
Speaker 1: and I'm doing another friendly Fire episode. I'm not at
Speaker 1: a hundred percent either, Chuck over the long week. Nobody cares. No,
Speaker 1: I'm not at a hundred percent either, Chuck over the
Speaker 1: What happened? I took a spill and one of those
Speaker 1: stupid bird scooters he read one of this, yep, and
Speaker 1: I I had the choice of either hitting a pedestrian
Speaker 1: a telephone pole, or bailing the funk out. And I
Speaker 1: made the noble call, and I sacrificed my and you
Speaker 1: hit a pedestrian? No, no, no, I bailed hard. Are
Speaker 1: you going too fast? What was the deal? So I
Speaker 1: just for me. I wasn't really used to these things,
Speaker 1: and I wasn't used to how slow the brakes work.
Speaker 1: It's sort of more like breaking a train. It takes
Speaker 1: about five minutes for it to really get you slowed down,
Speaker 1: you know, And it just the speed of the scooter
Speaker 1: and my need to stop, we're not in sync. So
Speaker 1: I just hopped off the scooter. But I was going
Speaker 1: too fast for my own feet to catch up, so
Speaker 1: I just tumbled forward like a commando, and then, in
Speaker 1: an effort to not look like a total barnacle, I
Speaker 1: just stood right back up and hopped to my feet
Speaker 1: and didn't assess my injuries and got right back on
Speaker 1: the scooter and kept going, Oh, I thought the scooter
Speaker 1: was like in Jacksonville, Florida right now or something. You
Speaker 1: just kept going Nope, nope, I jumped. I jumped back
Speaker 1: on and realized that I've sprained my wrist and elbow
Speaker 1: pretty bad. But it's been getting better over the days
Speaker 1: since the incidents, as I like to refer to it,
Speaker 1: the incident, we are mess. Yeah. So here's what we're
Speaker 1: gonna do this week, everyone, and thank you for all
Speaker 1: the for all the thanks in advance for the understanding
Speaker 1: on all the weirdness going on here with the schedule.
Speaker 1: But people love the mini crushes. They might be like, dude,
Speaker 1: just do these twice a week. Forget the guests. I
Speaker 1: mean I like doing them, Chuck, I like doing them.
Speaker 1: I like listening to them. Actually, we do them so
Speaker 1: quickly and a lot of times sometimes goes by before
Speaker 1: they come out, And when I listened to them, I
Speaker 1: kind of forget what we talked about. It's like I'm
Speaker 1: listening to two charming, portly gentlemen discussing things of which
Speaker 1: I have no recollection, and it's a lot of fun.
Speaker 1: Oh speak for yourself, sir, I'm no gentleman. That's fair. Um,
Speaker 1: all right, So this is sick edition. Uh. We we
Speaker 1: have a theme going here, So we're gonna start though
Speaker 1: quickly with corrections corner because these are stacking up a
Speaker 1: little bit, uh, and I don't want to do them
Speaker 1: in the next episode, so I'm gonna knock off a
Speaker 1: few here. Uh. Jason Devonshire, I feel like he's an
Speaker 1: old pal um, which, by the way, that's that's a
Speaker 1: whole thing. Now, old friend, old pal, the old pal distinction. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so is one better than the other? Is there? Like hierarchy,
Speaker 1: they're both the same. But if you get old pal
Speaker 1: old friend, that just means I recognize you and I've
Speaker 1: interacted with you a bunch uh. And if I don't,
Speaker 1: that means it may be the first time, or I
Speaker 1: just don't recall your name, and I apologize. But I
Speaker 1: feel Devonshire he's something to strive for. Episode number sixty seven,
Speaker 1: Nol mentions the movie Burke and Willis it's actually called
Speaker 1: Burke and Wills. I mentioned that I don't even know
Speaker 1: what that is. He said. It stars Jack Thompson with
Speaker 1: a massive beard, even bigger than Chucks. It's about an
Speaker 1: earlier allion outback explorers that perished. Is that the one
Speaker 1: with a dingo at my baby? Oh? Perhaps maybe I
Speaker 1: don't know. I just I literally have no knowledge of
Speaker 1: what that is at all. So the only reason I
Speaker 1: would have mentioned is if I was looking up some
Speaker 1: trope or some line and then came up with that,
Speaker 1: and then I mispronounced it that way. Okay, that's that's
Speaker 1: my um, that's my detective work on how that came down,
Speaker 1: all right, Michael Greene, Uh, this is another one for you, noel, Um,
Speaker 1: when you were talking about Titanic, he said, he said
Speaker 1: descended to heaven. I'm sure you meant to say ascended
Speaker 1: to heaven or descended to hell unless we're talking about
Speaker 1: some midway point. Yeah, okay, not not not doing so
Speaker 1: well with the words, um, Dawn old friend Don Lozano says,
Speaker 1: not a correction, and f y I Billy D Williams
Speaker 1: as who played gayl Sayers and Brian's song that was
Speaker 1: on me. I could remember, I can't believe I forgot
Speaker 1: it was Billy d Old Billy d Yeah, old Billy
Speaker 1: d Lando himself. Uh. Brad Carr, no one's gonna keep
Speaker 1: keeping these on you, Brad Carr says, Um, Noel, Sorry, dude,
Speaker 1: Billy Crystal does not play the bat creature in the
Speaker 1: Never Ending Story. The nighthub was played by Telo Pruckner.
Speaker 1: He said, he thinks you're thinking of Miracle Max and
Speaker 1: the Princess, oh, the Princess bride. He's right, of course,
Speaker 1: he's right. What a dick I am today? Although these
Speaker 1: things happened long ago. So well, Noel, here here's your redemption.
Speaker 1: Our old friend, Sherry Oldenberg says, because I corrected you
Speaker 1: on Monday Monday, because he said, whn't that Neil Diamond?
Speaker 1: And I was like, no, what was the moms in
Speaker 1: the papas dumb dumb? Uh. She says, Neil Diamond did
Speaker 1: do a cover version of Monday Monday, and props to
Speaker 1: Noel for knowing this. Man. Wow, have a lot of redemption.
Speaker 1: It feels good, Chuck, it feels good. That's right. Uh.
Speaker 1: And let me just let's just finish up with one
Speaker 1: more here. Um a name pronunciation. Elijah Hooper says minor
Speaker 1: name pronunciation correction. For some reason, carry o wise keeps
Speaker 1: getting mentioned. And you say carry Elise, how do you
Speaker 1: pronounce it elis? You say Elvis. So I should know
Speaker 1: as a native German speaker, a native German speaker, No,
Speaker 1: I should say, as someone who took German in high
Speaker 1: school and college. I was once a young and German boy,
Speaker 1: and I was a native German speaker. Can you tell
Speaker 1: him sick? I went to proper German kindergarten, and everything
Speaker 1: you went to kindergotten went to kintacotten, and I had
Speaker 1: to grasp of a kindergotteness, grasp of the German language,
Speaker 1: because kindergarten is a German word, even into gotten of
Speaker 1: kinder the children a children's gotten. It's kind of creepy.
Speaker 1: It's like the cabbage Patch kids. That's right. Uh, it's
Speaker 1: pronounced because he said on a Reddit a m A,
Speaker 1: it's actually pronounced Elvis. Like that's not that's neither one
Speaker 1: of us are right well now, And you know when
Speaker 1: I look at it, if I if I think about German,
Speaker 1: of course is pronounced Elvis, but the W would be
Speaker 1: a V sound like the Volks. I've never heard anyone
Speaker 1: pronounce it that way, though, I imagine it's one of
Speaker 1: those things he's just lived with, probably so over the years.
Speaker 1: Poor guy, because you know who's a good guy carry
Speaker 1: out wise? Seems so all right, that's it for corrections
Speaker 1: corner everyone, although let me throw in one more here.
Speaker 1: Nicole Parks Um and quite a few other folks posted.
Speaker 1: Remember when I was talking about they should do a
Speaker 1: Western with a bunch of lady gun slingers. There was
Speaker 1: that film from that I did not see, but I
Speaker 1: do remember, called Bad Girls. It was Andy McDowell and
Speaker 1: Madeline Stowe, Mary Stewart Masterson Andrew Barrymore as the gun slingers.
Speaker 1: Totally forgot about that. I have a vague recollection of that.
Speaker 1: When was it in the nineties ninety four? Which is
Speaker 1: funny because weren't we talking about like the Quick and
Speaker 1: the Dead? Uh? Yeah, you mentioned that that was around
Speaker 1: that time as well, I think so. I think it
Speaker 1: was all right, Noel. So now we're gonna get going
Speaker 1: with a sick edition. I had a cup a couple
Speaker 1: of social studies posts on movie um well ones on
Speaker 1: movie sickness. What what movie sickness? Was the most believable
Speaker 1: and the hardest to watch. Um. I know it's very
Speaker 1: tropy to cough to the napkin and see the blood,
Speaker 1: but a real good movie sickness is hardcore to get through.
Speaker 1: The one that comes to mind for me that I'm
Speaker 1: just gonna go with Off the Dome is Jason Robards
Speaker 1: and Magnolia. Oh yeah, that was a hard one. He
Speaker 1: just sold it so well and it was just painful
Speaker 1: to hear him speak and breathe. Yes, hard, hard stuff.
Speaker 1: That is a good one. Do you have one that
Speaker 1: you can think of? I think of a sci fi one. Um,
Speaker 1: And I don't know if it's so much of a
Speaker 1: sickness and it really is kind of or a is
Speaker 1: a mutation, but uh, Jeff Goldbloom in The Fly, oh yeah,
Speaker 1: says he kind of just becomes more and more not
Speaker 1: himself and fly like and uh, it's really kind of
Speaker 1: a sad progression into like body horror. Yeah. Yeah, that's
Speaker 1: tough stuff. All right, we'll get it going here with
Speaker 1: Michael Green Deborah Winger. In terms of endearment, boy you
Speaker 1: ain't kid and brother. That's a tough one. Tough, tough, tough.
Speaker 1: Carrie V McQuaid says, does what happen to the guys
Speaker 1: and the thing count as an illness? Uh? Not exactly
Speaker 1: what I was looking for, but well they don't. They
Speaker 1: have kind of flu like symptoms before they go full
Speaker 1: chest burster. I think so. So let's see. I'd say
Speaker 1: we can count that, okay, and as much as we
Speaker 1: can count the fly that I just didn't. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: totally agree. Uh, Steve C. Giles is still Alice. I
Speaker 1: did not see that, probably because I didn't want to
Speaker 1: get destroyed. Um about Julian Moore believe has early onset dementia. Man, no,
Speaker 1: thank you? Really going for the oscar with that one? Huh?
Speaker 1: Probably so. Anthony nor our old pal, says John Lithgal's
Speaker 1: portrayal is an als Armor's patient and rise at the
Speaker 1: Planet of the Apes. It was tough. Oh yeah, he's
Speaker 1: like buddies with the monkey, right, Yeah, he's pals with
Speaker 1: like the what is his name? Caesar? Sure? I think so? Yeah,
Speaker 1: Andy Circus Monkey, the Andy Circus Punky. Uh. Well look here,
Speaker 1: Eric Miller s says Jeff Goldblum in The Fly, there
Speaker 1: you go. And currently the radiation deaths in Chernobyl I
Speaker 1: haven't seen that yet of you know, I heard it's
Speaker 1: crushing and good god, I want to check it out.
Speaker 1: I will see anything with what's that guy's name? I
Speaker 1: know you out here. You're talking about Jared Harris. He's great,
Speaker 1: Oh god, he's good. The one criticism I've heard, and
Speaker 1: I'm interested to see where you fall in this, Chuck.
Speaker 1: The show takes place in the Ukraine. Everyone's Ukrainian, but
Speaker 1: they all have English accents in the show. Did they really? Yep?
Speaker 1: That's it's It's an acting thing though, right, Like, would
Speaker 1: you rather them be good actors or have you know,
Speaker 1: accurate accents? Jared Harris could do fucking Ukrainians. I think
Speaker 1: it was a weird choice, is all I'm saying. It
Speaker 1: is a weird choice. Colonialism still still revisionist colonialism. Beth
Speaker 1: Lander says the fault in our stars. Uh didn't not
Speaker 1: see that, but I've heard it's pretty tough. Yeah. A
Speaker 1: friend of the network, John Green, used to work with
Speaker 1: Will and mangesh a mental plush. Very cool. Brian uh
Speaker 1: A Meaty says the Big sick for sure, that was tough.
Speaker 1: Another vote for the fly, No one, you were onto
Speaker 1: something there. I haven't seen that in a while, I
Speaker 1: forgot how it's heartbreaking because you see the guy. I mean,
Speaker 1: it's all about this kind of nosedive into this horrible
Speaker 1: thing that he doesn't fully understand. And it starts off
Speaker 1: looking like positive, where he's all tough and buff and
Speaker 1: can climb on the walls, and then gradually he just
Speaker 1: becomes more and more kind of decrepit and sickly and disgusting.
Speaker 1: Gabriel E. Pagan says the Pandemic and Contagion, Dude, I
Speaker 1: loved that movie. What is this Contagion? The Steven Soderbergh film.
Speaker 1: I wasn't that the one that was shot about the pandemic?
Speaker 1: Like weirdly it was it on iPhone or something like
Speaker 1: that or make that okay, okakay. But this one is
Speaker 1: like a big kind of multi character ensemble kind of
Speaker 1: thing yep, about a pandemic breaking out in Uh god,
Speaker 1: it's good the way he traces it back to its origin.
Speaker 1: Um in the end, it's I don't want to spoil
Speaker 1: that sounds pretty cool. It's really really something else. Is
Speaker 1: there anyone better? He is so versatile and just so sharp.
Speaker 1: He's such a good director. Uh, Our old pal John
Speaker 1: Michelp says The c Inside with Javier Bardem was very
Speaker 1: hard to watch. Not necessarily a sickness, but watching a
Speaker 1: person struggle with her disability, seeing the family devastated by
Speaker 1: his witches with wishes was gut wrenching. Yeah, I haven't
Speaker 1: seen that. Maybe I avoid some of these. Well, they're
Speaker 1: not pleasant movies usually, Although I don't like I like,
Speaker 1: I like stuff like the Diving Bell in the Butterfly.
Speaker 1: I mean not like like that. It's not a romp. No,
Speaker 1: it's a total romp. But I'm not afraid of those movies.
Speaker 1: Oh no, No, I don't know. I don't either. I
Speaker 1: think in my older age, though, I tend to not
Speaker 1: seek them out so much. I mean, if there's a
Speaker 1: new movie that's in the theater as everyone's screaming up,
Speaker 1: I'll check it out. But like I tend to go
Speaker 1: for comedy these days. I just like a good comedy, yeah,
Speaker 1: for sure. For a melodrama, yeah, I'm with you. Uh.
Speaker 1: Jimmy Caykendall, our old friend, says Requiem for a Dream,
Speaker 1: all of it, the whole thing. It's hard to watch.
Speaker 1: It's very triggering for me. Yeah, that's cheez man. Uh
Speaker 1: did she win? An Oscar for that. I don't know
Speaker 1: that anybody want an Oscar for that. I think it
Speaker 1: was even too. She's great, but god, that movie is
Speaker 1: so nihilistic. Nothing good happens to anybody in that movie.
Speaker 1: There's no redemption arc for anybody in that movie. No, no,
Speaker 1: not at all, not at all. All right, Uh, let's
Speaker 1: finish with one more. Are one of our oldest pals,
Speaker 1: Louis Silva says Dallas Buyers Club. Matthew McConaughey. Great movie,
Speaker 1: hard to watch him struggle. I'm with you, all right, guys.
Speaker 1: And then we're gonna do one more social studies here.
Speaker 1: I asked, what is your sick movie related ritual? And
Speaker 1: I don't mean just give me a comp movie, I mean,
Speaker 1: what do you do? Because I need help? So I'm
Speaker 1: gonna go home after this and do these things right on.
Speaker 1: So we're gonna start off with Nicole Parks on the couch,
Speaker 1: tons of pillows, huge water, and secondary beverage of choice,
Speaker 1: which varies depending on the illness. Bubbly is always nice, uh,
Speaker 1: and then bubbly like champagne, No, like soda water. I
Speaker 1: would go with like Alex Lacroix. Just so you know
Speaker 1: when you say bubbly that implies Champagne the bubbly No,
Speaker 1: I say bubbly water. I should justin bubbly water. That
Speaker 1: would that have been better? Sure? Uh? Then she says
Speaker 1: she just plows through him. I'm sorry. Apple movies, Apple movies. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't understand like iTunes movies. Oh, I got you.
Speaker 1: Did you think she meant movies about apples or the
Speaker 1: Big Apple perhaps New York movie. No, No, you're the
Speaker 1: best seld you not chuck. Uh. Yeah, that wrist is
Speaker 1: really thrown off your brain work wrist and elbow, sir,
Speaker 1: it's very distracting. I didn't dose up on my prof
Speaker 1: and before I came in here, so I'm a little split,
Speaker 1: a little off alright, are old and Kristin bits a
Speaker 1: gay says, boy, she's got a good routine here, dress
Speaker 1: and all the layers. Get the handmade quilt my aunt
Speaker 1: sod for me when I graduated high school, very specific.
Speaker 1: So first of all, Chris, and you're gonna have to
Speaker 1: send that to me, which is uh stat, prepare to
Speaker 1: cocoon um with the knowledge that layers may require removal.
Speaker 1: I usually want a rotation of sprite. I don't drink it. Water,
Speaker 1: I do drink it, Gatorade don't drink it, and hot tea,
Speaker 1: I do drink it. Food is either tomato soup and
Speaker 1: grilled cheese, Classic Combo or tie or Mexican delivery if
Speaker 1: I'm stuffy, and the movie is always a rom com,
Speaker 1: usually when Harry met Sally pretty woman or the princess
Speaker 1: bride man very specific, very specific. We're gonna go back
Speaker 1: to our old pal, Louis Silva. He says, I watched
Speaker 1: Best in Show, take a hot shower, I turn the
Speaker 1: a C up and get under multiple blankets, and then
Speaker 1: watch one of the best mockumentaries ever, a really good one,
Speaker 1: busy Bee. Where is this busy Bee? Emily sick too?
Speaker 1: And um, the busy be scene is so great, so great?
Speaker 1: Was he found the good parrot and says like, I
Speaker 1: think the colors maybe what he's responding to. He's like,
Speaker 1: it's not a fucking be. She's so awesome. We met
Speaker 1: at Starbucks, not the same Starbucks, but with Starbucks across
Speaker 1: the street from the l Bean catalog. Oh god, um,
Speaker 1: so Emily sick. But we are on slightly different schedules.
Speaker 1: So last night I am burning up with a fever.
Speaker 1: She's freezing cold. So we we you know, we basically
Speaker 1: have to put ourselves in different parts of the house.
Speaker 1: Then I wake up or she wakes up in the
Speaker 1: middle of the night. She's burning up and I have chills.
Speaker 1: What do you do? No, you just get divorced. Right there.
Speaker 1: I think that's that's the only way, I chuck, that's
Speaker 1: the only way for you guys to get on the mend.
Speaker 1: Our oldest of friends, Zack Pointer says, popping the Princess
Speaker 1: Prider than never ending story. Get some ginger ale, some
Speaker 1: chicken noodle soup, pretty classic. Princess Bride is coming up
Speaker 1: a lot. It's a comfort movie. Yeah, I'll tell you
Speaker 1: what I do. Is I like to binge shows that
Speaker 1: I consider comfort shows like The Office or Parks and Wreck. Yeah,
Speaker 1: those shows make me feel good. I really also like
Speaker 1: King of the Hill. King of the Hills another comfort
Speaker 1: show for me, and lately I've been really enjoying Veep
Speaker 1: that sort of hits the same comfort triggers for me.
Speaker 1: Even though it's a bit of an aggressive show. Uh,
Speaker 1: it's still so funny. It makes me feel good. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I think if I'm the wrong kind of sick, I
Speaker 1: couldn't even keep up with Veep. You gotta be sharp
Speaker 1: to watch that show The Office, though, because I've seen
Speaker 1: it a million times, so i don't even have to
Speaker 1: pay attention, and I'm just like surrounded by my my pals. Yeah,
Speaker 1: there's Pam, there's Jim. There's Jim. There's Oscar. There's Dwight. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I don't like Dwight. I love Dwight. He's the best.
Speaker 1: That was Andy, Andy Bernard, h Dog, oh Man, Tuna,
Speaker 1: so funny? Do do do? He's so great. You know
Speaker 1: he's from Atlanta at Helms. He's an Atlanta guy. He's
Speaker 1: around a lot. He shoots a lot of stuff. Here
Speaker 1: do do um? All right, let me see here, Lenia Barnett.
Speaker 1: Don't think I've heard from you before. Welcome to the show.
Speaker 1: When I'm sick, I hunkered down with my dog in bed,
Speaker 1: great advice, T Kleenex, medicine, all these centils. I don't
Speaker 1: have a specific sick day movie. I'll usually watch Combo,
Speaker 1: Disney and Batman movies throughout the day as I drift
Speaker 1: in and out. That sounds so nice. If I'm really sick,
Speaker 1: I'll just put on a Star Trek series and sleep
Speaker 1: most of the day, but the dog is essential. I agree. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Star Trek is like video sedatives. You've never seen it.
Speaker 1: It's just so slow and like calming kind of. Even
Speaker 1: the fight scenes are super languid. I don't know. I
Speaker 1: think it's great, but it is very calming. I would
Speaker 1: agree with that. Melanie Kaufman I believe she's an old friend,
Speaker 1: says the main reason behind the comfort movies that I
Speaker 1: can drift off to sleep during any part of it,
Speaker 1: wake up and not feel like you need to rewind
Speaker 1: for sure. And she says this is why I end
Speaker 1: up usually going with a comfort TV show because you
Speaker 1: know they'll play the next one automatically. And she says,
Speaker 1: I can just drift in and out for hours and
Speaker 1: not wake up to credits rolling. That's a great idea.
Speaker 1: Um Max Phonum says, one hot Toddy with a lot
Speaker 1: of booze. Oh, I like where we're headed here already.
Speaker 1: Number two Thailand all and I'd be profen. Number three
Speaker 1: you shouldn't take I'd be profen when you drink by
Speaker 1: the way mark number three dark room with blankets and
Speaker 1: number four Empire strikes back. Boy. These all sound pretty good.
Speaker 1: Our old pal, Becca Loo says, comfy clothes, honey, Kim
Speaker 1: a meal and vanility, bring my bed pillars to the couch.
Speaker 1: That's a great move. Couch pillars won't do. It's too rough,
Speaker 1: too rough. Um. Well, of course, we have our famous
Speaker 1: sand paper pillows in our house though, same as you.
Speaker 1: I yeah, I mean, I mean, I just grit. No, actually,
Speaker 1: I've love got a combination. What I do is I
Speaker 1: take the sand paper pillows and make them as like
Speaker 1: a foundation, and then put the soft pillows on top
Speaker 1: of those. Yeah, I'll do that because the sand paper
Speaker 1: pills also are more substantial. They offer a little little
Speaker 1: more support, a little more next support. And then Becca
Speaker 1: Lou finishes by saying, binge the entire Harry Potter series.
Speaker 1: So that's where you lose me, Becca Lou. You know,
Speaker 1: people think we're really gonna do a Harry Potter series.
Speaker 1: We're not. I don't know. Come on, Chuck, really promise
Speaker 1: we set it out loud, all right, I want to
Speaker 1: do it. I'll consider it. I'm gonna read our old
Speaker 1: friend Kristen Glenn kiss her because she is the first
Speaker 1: person to offer condolences to me. Sorry you're sick, old pal.
Speaker 1: So how about that? And she says, move the pillows
Speaker 1: from the bed. Of course, my favorite blankie to the couch.
Speaker 1: I love that she calls it a blankie and get
Speaker 1: warners ginger Ale Keebler townhouse crackers for snacking, Load up
Speaker 1: on Suda fed Hall's honey, lemon, cough drops. Put on
Speaker 1: a long, long movie or trilogy that I know really well,
Speaker 1: like Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, Pride and Prejudice,
Speaker 1: The Six Hour Calling Firth Jennifer l Version, bust out
Speaker 1: the hot Toddy and hunker down. Wow, that's pretty good.
Speaker 1: Hot Toddy. Is that like an apple cider kind of
Speaker 1: hot drink? No, no, no, hot Toddy is uh honey, honey,
Speaker 1: hot water and whiskey, lemon and lemon. And it's surprisingly effective.
Speaker 1: That sounds good because I don't know. I'm not sure
Speaker 1: the science behind the whiskey. It may just be, you know,
Speaker 1: it's whiskey whiskey science, and it makes you feel good.
Speaker 1: Our old pal Jeff Noel says, when I'm really sick,
Speaker 1: all I want to do is sleep, So I down
Speaker 1: a couple of shots of brandy. WHOA, Jeff, that's a
Speaker 1: power move to get that warm. I don't drink brandy.
Speaker 1: I should give that a try. You ever had brandy?
Speaker 1: Not really? It always that, And when I was young
Speaker 1: and I didn't know much about drinking, brandy and Scotch
Speaker 1: were the two like most adult of course Martini's, but really,
Speaker 1: brandy and scotch the two most adult drinks that I
Speaker 1: could imagine ever having. And now I drink scotch, but
Speaker 1: I've still never had brandy. Do you like the pet scotch?
Speaker 1: The kind of smoky Oh? You know, No, I'm a
Speaker 1: bit of a whimp when it comes to Scotch. I
Speaker 1: like a blend um. And if you throw a hardcore
Speaker 1: single malt twenty four year old Pete mess at me,
Speaker 1: pete smokey thing, I will have it and appreciate it
Speaker 1: for what it is. But it's it's not my bag,
Speaker 1: not your go to. No, it's a lot. It is
Speaker 1: a lot. I enjoy it, though, if I'm gonna like
Speaker 1: really go hard and like enjoy something fancy, I do
Speaker 1: appreciate the intricacies of the flavor profile and nice like
Speaker 1: eighteen dollar glass of scotch. You know what else is
Speaker 1: really good is Japanese whiskey. Oh yeah, like suntory or
Speaker 1: like the more you know, there's a whole crazy uh
Speaker 1: spread of different different ones in different flavors. I had
Speaker 1: one that was a coffee based one that was brewed
Speaker 1: like me too, Yes and I k K yes Yes,
Speaker 1: it is delicious, so good. A hotel bar a couple
Speaker 1: of weeks ago. It was fantastic. Yeah. My friend Robert
Speaker 1: in Boston turned me onto that my whole pile from
Speaker 1: high school. And then also over the years, Noel, Josh's
Speaker 1: lovely wife you Me, has gifted me Japanese whiskey a
Speaker 1: couple of times. It's good stuff. It's very kind, you
Speaker 1: mean's great. Um, So Jeff, Noel just wants to sleep.
Speaker 1: He takes his brandy to get that warm feeling in
Speaker 1: his belly, and core bundles up in bed, puts on
Speaker 1: one of these several three hour movies that I've seen
Speaker 1: at least fifty times, like The Great Escape or Around
Speaker 1: the World in Eighty Days, and typically I'm out before
Speaker 1: the end of the opening credits. Wow, there's something about
Speaker 1: having that on in the background that's better than silence.
Speaker 1: You know. It's totally like I said, it's being. It's
Speaker 1: like being. It's a comfort thing. It's like a visual blanket.
Speaker 1: Bevin Woodacre says, big chair, not even the couture bed,
Speaker 1: the big fat chair, all the blankets, ginger ale and
Speaker 1: the longest movies I can get my hands on. How
Speaker 1: do you have an ottoman? Is it a lazy boy? Like?
Speaker 1: How much reclining are we talking about? Uh? You know,
Speaker 1: like we just got a chair and a half, which
Speaker 1: is one of my favorite things. A chair and a half. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's a k a. A fat chair. It's like it's wide,
Speaker 1: it's short of a love seat, bigger than a chair.
Speaker 1: It's like that tears for fierce album songs from the
Speaker 1: chair and a half. But I'm bumps. I'm just sick
Speaker 1: enough to think that was funny. My dad jokes are
Speaker 1: finally landing on you and your debilitated staff offsually getting
Speaker 1: a little LOOPI here, Um, yeah, chair and a half.
Speaker 1: It's really great. So it's the kind of thing that
Speaker 1: you can what I do my movie is I lay
Speaker 1: sideways in the chair and a half and drape my
Speaker 1: feet over the arm. Oh that's nice. It's not sustainable though, no, no,
Speaker 1: but it's nice for a minute. It is our old pal.
Speaker 1: Vanessa Lopez Um also says feel better chuckers. I make
Speaker 1: sure I'm armed with comfort, lots of tea and tissues,
Speaker 1: plenty of lemon, ginger and honey for my tea. Oh,
Speaker 1: I just bought a huge head of ginger. I'm gonna
Speaker 1: juice that when I go home, ahead of ginger or
Speaker 1: a root of ginger, like a head of ginger, though
Speaker 1: I think I said that because it kind of looks
Speaker 1: like a head. It's so large. Chicken noodle or fuh
Speaker 1: oh man fus so great, dude, that's what you need.
Speaker 1: You're totally right at least bakery, pick up some fu
Speaker 1: to go. No, you've never been funnier. I'm so glad.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, you're gonna start lacing my waters with
Speaker 1: uh with cold medicine, well know, with sickness, um chicken
Speaker 1: noodle or fa and um slippers Blankie Joe versus volcano. Oh,
Speaker 1: I'm so down with that. And then pretty much just
Speaker 1: lay on the couch and moan pathetically and demand sympathy
Speaker 1: from my dog Peyton. I'm very jim attic. I'm a
Speaker 1: pretty bad sick personal dude. What they call it the
Speaker 1: man flew. Well, you know, just dudes are notorious for
Speaker 1: being big old yeah, and and I love everything about
Speaker 1: my wife except for the fact that she is not
Speaker 1: the best sick caretaker. Her mother was not the best
Speaker 1: sick caretaker. So sort of a thing where she's just
Speaker 1: sort of like she'll, you know, she knows I need it.
Speaker 1: So she's such a great wife that she will give
Speaker 1: me as much as she can muster. But there's a
Speaker 1: threshold there, Chuck, I grew up with, like, you know,
Speaker 1: the mom that's just like, oh my boy, give you
Speaker 1: a tuck in, cold tucky in and cold compress and
Speaker 1: all that. So it didn't do me any favors. That's funny,
Speaker 1: but it's we're both very sympathetic when Ruby gets sick,
Speaker 1: which is not much. Let's finish up with a couple
Speaker 1: of more here in Lilian rolf Are old Friends says
Speaker 1: bad on the couch, bed on the couch. That wow,
Speaker 1: that must mean the blankies in the pillow. It means
Speaker 1: you make the couch up like a bed, right, Yeah,
Speaker 1: but I really like that phrase, be on the couch. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's a head scratcher at first. Once you wrap your
Speaker 1: head around here like a hi, I'm gonna start saying that, Lily,
Speaker 1: and that's a that's a great phrase daytime TV game shows,
Speaker 1: ginger ale, crackers and hot tea. Wow, you know it's funny.
Speaker 1: I had distinct memories of staying home from school sick
Speaker 1: and just watching what was ever on t VS before
Speaker 1: like streaming or even before I had DVDs, and a
Speaker 1: lot of times that would be stuff like the Price
Speaker 1: is Right. I I used to watch a lot of
Speaker 1: game shows in the day. Yeah, all right, let's do
Speaker 1: one more. Actually, because this is them all, it's a shower.
Speaker 1: Lynn Bob says, first, take a shower, and know all
Speaker 1: I have to say. In my new finished house, we
Speaker 1: sprung for a steam shower in our bathroom. And this
Speaker 1: thing is no joke. Dude. The house that we rented
Speaker 1: never thought of a steam shower never. I'm not sure.
Speaker 1: I guess I knew there were steam showers, but the
Speaker 1: house that we rented while we were getting our house
Speaker 1: done had a steam shower. We were both like, whoa
Speaker 1: game changer? Because Emily has allergies and it's a stuffy person.
Speaker 1: So she was like, dude, we have to get a
Speaker 1: steam shower. So let's just think about our budget and
Speaker 1: what we need to lose to make that happen. And um,
Speaker 1: this new steam shower that's from two thousand nineteen is
Speaker 1: a powerhouse and it is I I just can't recommend
Speaker 1: it enough. If you're redoing your bathroom anytime soon and
Speaker 1: you have a little extra change to throw it a
Speaker 1: steam shower, do it, do it, do it. It's unbelievable,
Speaker 1: really opens you up. So take a steam shower. Sit
Speaker 1: around in the sickness. Uh in sickness goo just makes
Speaker 1: me feel worse. Yeah, I know, I know what you mean.
Speaker 1: Lynn like sometimes that shower is kind of what you
Speaker 1: need to feel a little better. Then, she says, my
Speaker 1: bed pillhook kids transferred to the couch. Such a great move,
Speaker 1: comfy blanket and the dog to cuddle with. Yes. And
Speaker 1: then I like some old silly rom com something from
Speaker 1: the fifties or early sixties, like with Doris day r
Speaker 1: I p or Tony Randall or Carrie Grant. All right,
Speaker 1: I like these ideas. Everyone. This is great. So uh,
Speaker 1: I appreciate you hanging in there with me and Noel
Speaker 1: for this special Friday edition. Thanks for understanding we get
Speaker 1: in closing comments, I thought you were thanking me. I'm
Speaker 1: not well. Then, no, I have nothing to say to you. Chuck. No, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I man, I hope you feel better, and I hope
Speaker 1: my arm eventually heals. Yeah, in your elbow and my
Speaker 1: and I can lift it up properly. Don't forget about
Speaker 1: your elbow. I'm actually traveling today to go to New
Speaker 1: York for a bunch of meetings, and I'm kind of
Speaker 1: worried that I'm gonna have to shake people's hand with
Speaker 1: my left hand. It's gonna be really awkward. I'm gonna
Speaker 1: try to do some exercises on the plane to strengthen
Speaker 1: my my elbow so I cannot be a weird pariah
Speaker 1: in these meetings handshaking exercises. Just do a lot of
Speaker 1: like clutching. Just shake everyone's hand that you see everyone.
Speaker 1: It's not weird, it's super weird. I was in an
Speaker 1: airport not too long ago, and that was a kid
Speaker 1: running too of the airport trying to high five everyone. Well,
Speaker 1: that's cute. I thought it was cute, and there were
Speaker 1: some people that were annoyed. It's different when you're at
Speaker 1: a full grown adult though. Yeah, let me agree. All right,
Speaker 1: Thanks everybody, We'll see you next week. For more podcasts
