Speaker 3: the Stuff to Blow Your Mind email address. If you

7
00:00:22,160 --> 00:00:24,119
Speaker 3: have never gotten in touch before and you'd like to

Speaker 3: Get in touch. It is contact at stuff to Blow

16
00:00:47,760 --> 00:00:51,479
Speaker 3: your Mind dot com. Let's see Rob, I think I'm

17
00:00:51,479 --> 00:00:53,840
Speaker 3: going to kick things off here with this message from

18
00:00:54,040 --> 00:00:56,760
Speaker 3: Chris in response to our series on cave biology.

19
00:00:56,960 --> 00:00:57,920
Speaker 2: All right, let's have it.

20
00:01:03,080 --> 00:01:06,520
Speaker 3: Chris says, Hi, Robert, Joe and JJ really enjoyed the

21
00:01:06,520 --> 00:01:10,680
Speaker 3: first episode of the Hypogean World and the discussion about

22
00:01:10,680 --> 00:01:14,560
Speaker 3: the potential for the adaptations that selected for sightlessness and

23
00:01:14,680 --> 00:01:17,679
Speaker 3: the fact that the one fish you had described does

24
00:01:17,880 --> 00:01:22,800
Speaker 3: technically still have eyes during development, but then they lose them.

25
00:01:23,200 --> 00:01:26,360
Speaker 3: Did not realize this? Well, The first thing I see

26
00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:28,960
Speaker 3: when I open my browser this morning is a suggested

27
00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:33,240
Speaker 3: story on none other than blind cave salamanders coming to

28
00:01:33,440 --> 00:01:36,600
Speaker 3: the surface. So the article that Chris links here is

29
00:01:36,640 --> 00:01:40,800
Speaker 3: from Gizmoto from March thirteenth, twenty twenty four by Isaac Schultz,

30
00:01:40,840 --> 00:01:45,600
Speaker 3: and it is called Scientists caught blind cave Salamanders sneaking

31
00:01:45,640 --> 00:01:49,520
Speaker 3: to Earth's surface. So here's the gist of the story.

32
00:01:49,560 --> 00:01:53,760
Speaker 3: This concerns recently published research about the om, the cave

33
00:01:53,800 --> 00:01:58,440
Speaker 3: adapted salamander from the dynaric karst of Europe, which we

34
00:01:58,480 --> 00:02:00,200
Speaker 3: talked about in one of the later parts of the

35
00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:03,560
Speaker 3: Cave series. So it's possible that when Chris sent this email,

36
00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:06,560
Speaker 3: we hadn't actually published our stuff about olms yet. So

37
00:02:06,840 --> 00:02:10,800
Speaker 3: nice coincidence. The olms are very cool animals because they

38
00:02:10,880 --> 00:02:13,400
Speaker 3: sort of live life in slow motion. They're thought to

39
00:02:13,480 --> 00:02:16,560
Speaker 3: sometimes live for a century or more. They can apparently

40
00:02:16,639 --> 00:02:21,320
Speaker 3: go years at a time without eating. Their cycle of

41
00:02:21,760 --> 00:02:25,080
Speaker 3: mating and reproduction is very slow. I seem to recall

42
00:02:25,160 --> 00:02:27,560
Speaker 3: it maybe like a decade or more in between their

43
00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:32,280
Speaker 3: breeding cycles. And we also discussed a study that found

44
00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:36,240
Speaker 3: that they can go for years at a time barely moving,

45
00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:39,240
Speaker 3: maybe moving no more than a few meters from their

46
00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:42,600
Speaker 3: starting location. And we also talked about how these animals

47
00:02:42,639 --> 00:02:46,160
Speaker 3: were first observed in village springs hundreds of years ago,

48
00:02:46,639 --> 00:02:51,400
Speaker 3: leading to these Carniolean peasants believing that they were baby

49
00:02:51,520 --> 00:02:54,160
Speaker 3: dragons that had been spit up by a big adult

50
00:02:54,240 --> 00:02:57,960
Speaker 3: dragon underground. And then of course came the developing biological

51
00:02:58,080 --> 00:03:03,079
Speaker 3: understanding that these were subterrean cave adapted amphibians. And the

52
00:03:03,480 --> 00:03:06,080
Speaker 3: idea was that, well, when there are heavy rains and

53
00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:11,079
Speaker 3: there's suddenly a lot of water flowing through these underground waterways,

54
00:03:11,400 --> 00:03:14,560
Speaker 3: these animals get washed up to the surface in these springs,

55
00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:18,400
Speaker 3: they are washed out of their underground homes. But the

56
00:03:18,440 --> 00:03:22,120
Speaker 3: researchers who conducted this new study were handling olms found

57
00:03:22,200 --> 00:03:26,480
Speaker 3: in springs in surface springs in eastern Italy, and they

58
00:03:26,600 --> 00:03:29,720
Speaker 3: found that in some cases when these olms were handled,

59
00:03:29,919 --> 00:03:34,000
Speaker 3: they would like vomit up earthworms that they had previously eaten.

60
00:03:34,480 --> 00:03:36,800
Speaker 3: And these earthworms are not prey that you would find

61
00:03:36,920 --> 00:03:39,960
Speaker 3: in the subterranean waterways where the olms are thought to

62
00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:42,840
Speaker 3: spend most of their lives. You would find them in

63
00:03:42,880 --> 00:03:45,920
Speaker 3: the soil on the surface, like up in the Epigean

64
00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:49,040
Speaker 3: world up above. And they said that many of these

65
00:03:49,080 --> 00:03:52,600
Speaker 3: surface olmes were in fact plump with earthworms they had

66
00:03:52,640 --> 00:03:56,160
Speaker 3: been eating very well on the surface. Here the researchers

67
00:03:56,200 --> 00:03:59,960
Speaker 3: also found evidence of olme activity in the surface springs

68
00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:03,120
Speaker 3: at a time when there was no preceding weather or

69
00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:06,880
Speaker 3: water activity that would have been likely to flush them

70
00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:10,080
Speaker 3: up to the surface against their will. So instead, the

71
00:04:10,120 --> 00:04:13,560
Speaker 3: researchers say, you know, these olmes are probably adapted to

72
00:04:13,600 --> 00:04:17,080
Speaker 3: live the vast majority of their lives in these subterranean

73
00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:20,760
Speaker 3: caverns and the underground waterways, but it seems they sometimes

74
00:04:20,880 --> 00:04:24,160
Speaker 3: probably make deliberate journeys to the surface, come up to

75
00:04:24,200 --> 00:04:27,800
Speaker 3: these surface springs to eat and maybe sometimes to breed.

76
00:04:28,040 --> 00:04:31,160
Speaker 3: So there are like so you can be mostly adapted

77
00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:35,120
Speaker 3: to a totally underground, lightless way of living, but for

78
00:04:35,279 --> 00:04:38,240
Speaker 3: certain types of activities come all the way up to

79
00:04:38,279 --> 00:04:41,800
Speaker 3: the surface where you know, it was previously thought that

80
00:04:42,200 --> 00:04:45,760
Speaker 3: the vulnerabilities of the cave adapted animal on the surface

81
00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:48,880
Speaker 3: would make that kind of journey very unlikely. Because you know,

82
00:04:48,920 --> 00:04:51,839
Speaker 3: suddenly you're up here and you're vulnerable to predators. You

83
00:04:51,839 --> 00:04:54,880
Speaker 3: don't normally have to worry about predators and your underground habitat.

84
00:04:55,560 --> 00:04:58,280
Speaker 3: You might be just generally not well adapted to a

85
00:04:58,320 --> 00:05:01,240
Speaker 3: place where there's a bunch of light. But it seems

86
00:05:01,279 --> 00:05:03,920
Speaker 3: like maybe the rewards in some cases make it worth

87
00:05:03,960 --> 00:05:06,040
Speaker 3: it for the olm to to come up and eat

88
00:05:06,040 --> 00:05:07,440
Speaker 3: a bunch of earthworms or whatever.

89
00:05:08,040 --> 00:05:11,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, maybe heed that call to adventure perhaps, But that's

90
00:05:11,760 --> 00:05:15,080
Speaker 2: fascinating because it does turn some of what we thought

91
00:05:15,080 --> 00:05:16,839
Speaker 2: we knew about the olm on its head, you know,

92
00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:23,240
Speaker 2: considered concerning their their obligate subterranean life, their their tendency

93
00:05:23,240 --> 00:05:26,680
Speaker 2: to stay in just one very small area for the

94
00:05:26,800 --> 00:05:31,040
Speaker 2: duration of their very long life. So, yeah, fascinating information.

95
00:05:31,200 --> 00:05:33,000
Speaker 3: I'm trying to think of the equivalent. It would be

96
00:05:33,120 --> 00:05:37,120
Speaker 3: like if us surface adapted organisms. You know, we live

97
00:05:37,240 --> 00:05:39,560
Speaker 3: almost our entire lives on the surface, but we know

98
00:05:39,920 --> 00:05:43,000
Speaker 3: that maybe five hundred meters down in the in the

99
00:05:43,040 --> 00:05:45,400
Speaker 3: total darkness of a deep cave, there's like a really

100
00:05:45,400 --> 00:05:48,400
Speaker 3: good buffet. So if we get really hungry, we go

101
00:05:48,440 --> 00:05:49,960
Speaker 3: down there sometimes.

102
00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:52,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, or you know, it's not completely out of

103
00:05:53,040 --> 00:05:55,880
Speaker 2: keeping with what we know about, you know, some ancient

104
00:05:55,920 --> 00:05:58,800
Speaker 2: peoples that would have maybe gone to do certain caves

105
00:05:58,839 --> 00:06:02,719
Speaker 2: for sacred purposes, you know, be it some sort of

106
00:06:02,720 --> 00:06:07,440
Speaker 2: like funeral ride or so forth. So yeah, fascinating to

107
00:06:07,480 --> 00:06:07,919
Speaker 2: think about.

108
00:06:08,279 --> 00:06:10,640
Speaker 3: Anyway, if you want to check out the underlying paper

109
00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:14,120
Speaker 3: that this Gismoto article was about, it was published in

110
00:06:14,120 --> 00:06:18,280
Speaker 3: the journal Ecology twenty twenty four by Minetti at All

111
00:06:18,320 --> 00:06:20,880
Speaker 3: and it is called Wandering Outside of the Sticks, a

112
00:06:20,960 --> 00:06:25,160
Speaker 3: surface activity of an iconic subterranean vertebrate, the OLM. All right,

113
00:06:25,360 --> 00:06:27,599
Speaker 3: ohen to come back to Chris's message, that was the

114
00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:30,640
Speaker 3: first half. Chris says, thanks again for all the fascinating

115
00:06:30,720 --> 00:06:33,560
Speaker 3: content on the subject of caves. I took a family

116
00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:36,960
Speaker 3: trip last fall to Mammoth Cave National Park in Kentucky.

117
00:06:37,360 --> 00:06:40,320
Speaker 3: What a great experience. We were lucky enough to be

118
00:06:40,440 --> 00:06:44,440
Speaker 3: able to take the Dome and drip Stones tour, and

119
00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:46,960
Speaker 3: during one part of that tour, they killed the lights

120
00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:49,480
Speaker 3: and had us in utter darkness, only to be broken

121
00:06:49,520 --> 00:06:53,240
Speaker 3: thirty seconds later by a single small lighter. It was

122
00:06:53,320 --> 00:06:57,360
Speaker 3: quite dramatic and a really fun experience. Highly recommend regards

123
00:06:57,520 --> 00:06:58,839
Speaker 3: Chris Awesome.

124
00:06:58,920 --> 00:07:01,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I think we alluded to this sort of

125
00:07:01,120 --> 00:07:05,720
Speaker 2: experience in the cave where you can you can experience this,

126
00:07:05,920 --> 00:07:07,920
Speaker 2: you know, deep true darkness like this.

127
00:07:08,560 --> 00:07:10,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, the one time I've done this, it was it

128
00:07:10,880 --> 00:07:14,320
Speaker 3: was in caves in Oregon. It was an incredibly memorable experience.

129
00:07:14,680 --> 00:07:16,840
Speaker 2: All right. This next one comes to us from pav

130
00:07:22,040 --> 00:07:25,200
Speaker 2: Have rites in and says Hello, Joe and Rob wanted

131
00:07:25,240 --> 00:07:27,080
Speaker 2: to drop you a quick note to say how much

132
00:07:27,120 --> 00:07:29,640
Speaker 2: I enjoyed the recent four episodes about the caves. The

133
00:07:29,680 --> 00:07:33,600
Speaker 2: exploration and mysterious atmosphere really captivated me. I'm hoping that

134
00:07:33,680 --> 00:07:36,880
Speaker 2: the next Weird House Cinema movie will continue this trend

135
00:07:36,920 --> 00:07:39,800
Speaker 2: with a cave themed horror flick. There are so many

136
00:07:39,840 --> 00:07:43,720
Speaker 2: possibilities to explore in that genre. Looking forward to what's next.

137
00:07:44,080 --> 00:07:45,800
Speaker 2: Thanks pav Rob.

138
00:07:45,800 --> 00:07:47,400
Speaker 3: Do you have cave movies in mind?

139
00:07:47,640 --> 00:07:50,280
Speaker 2: I mean we have a few on the list for

140
00:07:50,320 --> 00:07:54,800
Speaker 2: the potential future that involved caves. I think the one

141
00:07:54,800 --> 00:07:57,720
Speaker 2: that we did right after the Cave Special had no caves,

142
00:07:57,760 --> 00:08:00,960
Speaker 2: and the next one coming up also has no true caves.

143
00:08:01,840 --> 00:08:04,400
Speaker 2: But I mean, on one hand, I was looking into it.

144
00:08:04,960 --> 00:08:07,680
Speaker 2: You know a number of films that we've covered already

145
00:08:07,920 --> 00:08:12,880
Speaker 2: feature Bronson Canyon in the Bronzon Caves in Griffith Park,

146
00:08:13,080 --> 00:08:16,840
Speaker 2: Los Angeles. These were featured in such films that we've

147
00:08:16,920 --> 00:08:22,440
Speaker 2: watched as Let's see the Return from nineteen eighty Let's see.

148
00:08:22,480 --> 00:08:25,920
Speaker 2: Also there was let's see, we haven't done it conquered

149
00:08:25,960 --> 00:08:28,080
Speaker 2: the world yet, but that's that's certainly one that's potentially

150
00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:28,679
Speaker 2: on the list.

151
00:08:30,720 --> 00:08:30,920
Speaker 3: Choke.

152
00:08:31,280 --> 00:08:35,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, The Magic Sword apparently shot some scenes there

153
00:08:35,360 --> 00:08:36,720
Speaker 2: as well. I don't know if they did the full

154
00:08:36,760 --> 00:08:40,040
Speaker 2: cave or just sort of that neat canyon environment that

155
00:08:40,080 --> 00:08:43,800
Speaker 2: often feels like another world. And oh, robot monster of course.

156
00:08:44,600 --> 00:08:48,640
Speaker 2: So it's it's been a favorite spot to either create

157
00:08:48,880 --> 00:08:51,920
Speaker 2: another planet or to just have a haunting cave in

158
00:08:51,960 --> 00:08:54,440
Speaker 2: which may lurk a monster or a robot, or some

159
00:08:54,480 --> 00:08:56,079
Speaker 2: sort of combination of robot and monster.

160
00:08:56,440 --> 00:08:58,760
Speaker 3: It's a great place to learn, too late that man

161
00:08:58,840 --> 00:08:59,880
Speaker 3: is a feeling creature.

162
00:09:00,480 --> 00:09:04,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, but yeah, we have a number of films. I mean,

163
00:09:04,400 --> 00:09:06,840
Speaker 2: caves pop up in all sorts of fiction and all

164
00:09:06,880 --> 00:09:10,360
Speaker 2: sorts of genre pictures, those genre pictures that we may choose.

165
00:09:11,160 --> 00:09:14,520
Speaker 2: But offhand, I know that we've talked about potentially covering

166
00:09:15,160 --> 00:09:20,920
Speaker 2: the Gargoyles movie from the nineteen seventies. Yeah, seventy two.

167
00:09:21,360 --> 00:09:23,720
Speaker 3: Oh, the made for TV one with Bernie Casey.

168
00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:27,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, that one prominently features some caves sets. And there

169
00:09:27,760 --> 00:09:30,439
Speaker 2: are a few other in this genre as well that

170
00:09:30,559 --> 00:09:33,720
Speaker 2: are on the list. A lot of bat people movies,

171
00:09:33,840 --> 00:09:37,000
Speaker 2: troglodyte movies, and so forth. I mean, you can get

172
00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:39,480
Speaker 2: a good cave in there. There's some Paul Nashy films

173
00:09:39,480 --> 00:09:42,760
Speaker 2: that have some caves that I've batten around in my head.

174
00:09:42,840 --> 00:09:45,480
Speaker 2: So yeah, we'll definitely get back to some cave flicks

175
00:09:45,520 --> 00:09:46,800
Speaker 2: on Weird House Cinema.

176
00:09:46,920 --> 00:09:50,880
Speaker 3: I can't wait. Okay. Another short message, This one comes

177
00:09:50,880 --> 00:09:53,840
Speaker 3: from Emma in response to previous listener mail that brought

178
00:09:53,960 --> 00:09:58,079
Speaker 3: up the Encyclopedia Brown book series. I think somebody mentioned

179
00:09:58,120 --> 00:10:00,720
Speaker 3: it because they found out what Ambergris was from reading

180
00:10:00,800 --> 00:10:10,040
Speaker 3: Encyclopedia Brown books as a kid. Emma says, live from Victoria,

181
00:10:10,080 --> 00:10:14,240
Speaker 3: British Columbia, Canada, Grade three classroom. My son doesn't read them,

182
00:10:14,240 --> 00:10:17,280
Speaker 3: but I instantly thought of you all. And then they

183
00:10:17,320 --> 00:10:20,920
Speaker 3: attach a picture of a like a collection of classroom

184
00:10:20,960 --> 00:10:23,720
Speaker 3: reading material. The very first book in the stack is

185
00:10:24,160 --> 00:10:27,920
Speaker 3: Encyclopedia Brown's Book of Strange but True Crimes.

186
00:10:28,559 --> 00:10:32,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, there it is in the bin I wonder what

187
00:10:32,440 --> 00:10:35,800
Speaker 2: those strange crimes were. I assume mostly serial murders.

188
00:10:36,160 --> 00:10:39,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, what is what is true crime that's appropriate for children?

189
00:10:40,320 --> 00:10:42,360
Speaker 2: I know you're kind of limited to diamond heist and

190
00:10:42,360 --> 00:10:43,080
Speaker 2: so forth.

191
00:10:42,920 --> 00:10:44,800
Speaker 3: Right, Yeah, true nonviolent crime.

192
00:10:45,160 --> 00:10:48,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, but I mean, now, this is this is this

193
00:10:48,200 --> 00:10:50,120
Speaker 2: is fine. I have no again, I have no experience

194
00:10:50,120 --> 00:10:53,520
Speaker 2: with Encyclopedia Brown myself except it just vaguely remember the title.

195
00:10:54,679 --> 00:10:57,520
Speaker 2: But that's about it. So I think it's great that

196
00:10:57,920 --> 00:10:59,800
Speaker 2: people can still connect with this stuff.

197
00:11:08,200 --> 00:11:10,720
Speaker 3: Okay, here, I think we're gonna have to switch over

198
00:11:10,800 --> 00:11:13,120
Speaker 3: and do some weird house cinema messages because we've got

199
00:11:13,160 --> 00:11:15,160
Speaker 3: a lot of them in the bin. Many people have

200
00:11:15,200 --> 00:11:18,160
Speaker 3: been writing in, especially about Dune, but about other episodes

201
00:11:18,200 --> 00:11:21,520
Speaker 3: as well. Maybe we should do all of the Dune

202
00:11:21,559 --> 00:11:25,600
Speaker 3: messages in a block. And before that, maybe I will

203
00:11:25,600 --> 00:11:28,760
Speaker 3: read this response from Bruce on the episode that I

204
00:11:28,800 --> 00:11:31,880
Speaker 3: did with Seth Nicholas Johnson while you were out about

205
00:11:31,920 --> 00:11:33,439
Speaker 3: the Monkey's movie head.

206
00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:38,200
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I listened to this episode. I wasn't able

207
00:11:38,200 --> 00:11:39,960
Speaker 2: to get a hold of the movie at the time

208
00:11:39,960 --> 00:11:42,800
Speaker 2: because I believe I was traveling, but yeah, I did

209
00:11:42,840 --> 00:11:43,800
Speaker 2: listen to the episode.

210
00:11:43,880 --> 00:11:45,640
Speaker 3: Oh you should watch it sometime, Rob, I think you'd

211
00:11:45,679 --> 00:11:49,480
Speaker 3: appreciate it. Bruce says, stuff to blow your mind, folks.

212
00:11:49,920 --> 00:11:51,920
Speaker 3: I wanted to thank you so much for the latest

213
00:11:51,960 --> 00:11:55,480
Speaker 3: episode of Weird House on Head. I am also a

214
00:11:55,600 --> 00:11:58,640
Speaker 3: huge Monkeys fan, and this movie has always been a

215
00:11:58,679 --> 00:12:01,080
Speaker 3: favorite of mine. To demonstrate how much they were in

216
00:12:01,120 --> 00:12:05,680
Speaker 3: the middle of the whole sixties experience. For example, something

217
00:12:05,679 --> 00:12:08,120
Speaker 3: that isn't connected with the movie, but shows how much

218
00:12:08,120 --> 00:12:11,160
Speaker 3: influence the group had on the culture. The character of

219
00:12:11,360 --> 00:12:15,240
Speaker 3: Chekhov on the original Star Trek. I guess the original

220
00:12:15,320 --> 00:12:19,120
Speaker 3: TV series was added in season two as a direct

221
00:12:19,240 --> 00:12:22,000
Speaker 3: result of Davy Jones' popularity.

222
00:12:22,960 --> 00:12:25,240
Speaker 2: I had no idea we got to get a Russian

223
00:12:25,440 --> 00:12:27,600
Speaker 2: monkey in there, Okay.

224
00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:31,760
Speaker 3: So Bruce says, the thinking was, quote, we need our

225
00:12:31,800 --> 00:12:35,959
Speaker 3: own younger international character. Oh that's right, because the other

226
00:12:36,040 --> 00:12:39,600
Speaker 3: three monkeys were American. They're from the United States. But

227
00:12:39,720 --> 00:12:42,920
Speaker 3: Davy Jones was British and was the cute one and

228
00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:46,880
Speaker 3: had shaggy hair. But Bruce says, yeah, they were thinking,

229
00:12:46,880 --> 00:12:50,760
Speaker 3: we've got to get our own international character to capture

230
00:12:50,800 --> 00:12:54,120
Speaker 3: our fair share of the teeny bopper audience. And Bruce

231
00:12:54,160 --> 00:12:57,920
Speaker 3: says that's why Chekhov's hair was shaggier than anyone else's.

232
00:12:58,320 --> 00:13:00,520
Speaker 3: Bruce goes on to say, the real reason writing is

233
00:13:00,520 --> 00:13:04,079
Speaker 3: to pass along some quotes from the twenty seventeen autobiography

234
00:13:04,160 --> 00:13:08,760
Speaker 3: of Michael Nesmith called Infinite Tuesday, where he shares first

235
00:13:08,760 --> 00:13:12,520
Speaker 3: hand riffs on head. I was somewhat surprised that the

236
00:13:12,559 --> 00:13:14,600
Speaker 3: book didn't make it into your narrative, as it has

237
00:13:14,640 --> 00:13:19,280
Speaker 3: some pretty interesting views. According to Mike. Quote and there

238
00:13:19,280 --> 00:13:22,400
Speaker 3: are a few substitutions in here for clarity. With the

239
00:13:22,440 --> 00:13:26,280
Speaker 3: Monkey movie, Bert Schneider and Bob Rafelson had decided to

240
00:13:26,440 --> 00:13:29,920
Speaker 3: kill the monster they thought they had created, and they

241
00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:33,280
Speaker 3: asked Jack Nicholson to help. They also asked the four

242
00:13:33,320 --> 00:13:37,680
Speaker 3: principal cast players Davy, Mickey, Peter, and Me to participate.

243
00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:40,520
Speaker 3: At first, I thought the suggestion was simply for the

244
00:13:40,559 --> 00:13:43,120
Speaker 3: four monkeys to join in on a trip to Ohi

245
00:13:43,280 --> 00:13:45,960
Speaker 3: and smoke dope, hang out with Bert and Bob and

246
00:13:46,080 --> 00:13:49,440
Speaker 3: Jack and race golf carts around the hotel. But no,

247
00:13:49,880 --> 00:13:52,599
Speaker 3: they were serious about the four of us actually contributing

248
00:13:52,640 --> 00:13:55,240
Speaker 3: to the screenplay. But then Bruce says He goes on

249
00:13:55,280 --> 00:13:57,679
Speaker 3: to say that it didn't work out because quote, we

250
00:13:57,679 --> 00:14:02,120
Speaker 3: were not drawn together. And then Bruce says, there is

251
00:14:02,160 --> 00:14:05,160
Speaker 3: a great quote about what Bert Schneider thought about the

252
00:14:05,160 --> 00:14:09,600
Speaker 3: screenplay quote. He Bert described it to me, Mike as

253
00:14:09,640 --> 00:14:12,400
Speaker 3: a wild gamble. He said he thought it would either

254
00:14:12,440 --> 00:14:16,800
Speaker 3: be recognized and revered or reviled and unsung. There would

255
00:14:16,800 --> 00:14:19,920
Speaker 3: be no in between and no ambivalence. Millions would attend

256
00:14:20,040 --> 00:14:22,200
Speaker 3: or no one would attend. He was right.

257
00:14:24,080 --> 00:14:24,240
Speaker 2: Then.

258
00:14:24,320 --> 00:14:27,680
Speaker 3: Bruce shares that Mike Nesmith's take on Head is this

259
00:14:27,920 --> 00:14:32,280
Speaker 3: quote drug addled, bizarre, obtuse and ignored as it was,

260
00:14:32,360 --> 00:14:36,600
Speaker 3: the movie still became an actual driving force. Instead of

261
00:14:36,640 --> 00:14:41,120
Speaker 3: destroying all things monkeys, it emblazoned them on pop culture permanently.

262
00:14:42,120 --> 00:14:44,880
Speaker 3: Also an interesting take on the title. One of the

263
00:14:44,920 --> 00:14:47,760
Speaker 3: parody elements of the film, according to Mike, was that

264
00:14:47,800 --> 00:14:52,479
Speaker 3: Bob Rafelson wanted to include quote all his favorite genres

265
00:14:52,520 --> 00:14:56,520
Speaker 3: from Westerns to David Lean type epics two quote the

266
00:14:56,680 --> 00:15:00,160
Speaker 3: darkest thing on the planet. When Jack asked what that

267
00:15:00,200 --> 00:15:04,680
Speaker 3: would be, Bob said, Victor Mature's hair. Victor Mature is

268
00:15:04,680 --> 00:15:07,920
Speaker 3: the old Hollywood actor, like a you know, the sort

269
00:15:07,920 --> 00:15:12,160
Speaker 3: of dashing leading man with always very very well quaffed hair.

270
00:15:12,200 --> 00:15:14,400
Speaker 3: And yes, parts of the movie do take place within

271
00:15:14,520 --> 00:15:18,720
Speaker 3: his hair. And so Bruce explains how, yes, they seized

272
00:15:18,760 --> 00:15:21,480
Speaker 3: on that moment and they said, yes, that's it, that

273
00:15:21,840 --> 00:15:25,960
Speaker 3: the movie must take place in Victor Mature's hair. Bruce says,

274
00:15:26,040 --> 00:15:28,320
Speaker 3: as drug riffs go, it is one of the greats,

275
00:15:28,320 --> 00:15:31,080
Speaker 3: and it would serve the serve as the magic carpet

276
00:15:31,120 --> 00:15:35,040
Speaker 3: for the film. The serene fantasy behind the panicked psychedelia

277
00:15:35,200 --> 00:15:41,600
Speaker 3: Victor Mature's hair would be heads quote Dia Jesus, and

278
00:15:41,720 --> 00:15:44,400
Speaker 3: he says. Mike follows that with a cool story about

279
00:15:44,440 --> 00:15:48,760
Speaker 3: how he unwittingly provided the solution to getting Victor Mature

280
00:15:48,800 --> 00:15:52,840
Speaker 3: to participate in true Mike Nesmith's storytelling brilliance. The incident

281
00:15:52,960 --> 00:15:55,000
Speaker 3: is hilarious. I would share it here, but it goes

282
00:15:55,040 --> 00:15:56,800
Speaker 3: on for a number of pages and I couldn't do

283
00:15:56,920 --> 00:15:59,760
Speaker 3: Mike justice by condensing it. Find a copy of the

284
00:15:59,800 --> 00:16:02,520
Speaker 3: book can read it for yourself. Infinite Tuesday is about

285
00:16:02,560 --> 00:16:05,080
Speaker 3: so much more than the monkeys, though. Mike was such

286
00:16:05,120 --> 00:16:08,000
Speaker 3: an unrecognized talent, and he doesn't shrink away from as

287
00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:10,640
Speaker 3: many faults as he tells the story. But that's a

288
00:16:10,640 --> 00:16:13,600
Speaker 3: subject for another time. Thanks for shedding a spotlight on

289
00:16:13,640 --> 00:16:15,840
Speaker 3: the seminal film and reminding me why I'm such a

290
00:16:15,840 --> 00:16:18,720
Speaker 3: fan of these four guys. They truly do transcend pop

291
00:16:18,720 --> 00:16:22,760
Speaker 3: culture of the sixties and music. Bruce Well, thank you,

292
00:16:22,800 --> 00:16:23,200
Speaker 3: Bruce Well.

293
00:16:23,280 --> 00:16:23,480
Speaker 2: Yeah.

294
00:16:23,480 --> 00:16:28,400
Speaker 3: Actually, after Seth's recommendation to me in this episode, I

295
00:16:28,440 --> 00:16:31,200
Speaker 3: did spend the following weekend. I was actually on a

296
00:16:31,280 --> 00:16:34,360
Speaker 3: road trip and I listened to a bunch of Mike

297
00:16:34,440 --> 00:16:39,360
Speaker 3: Nesmith's solo albums. At the first one, I think it's

298
00:16:39,400 --> 00:16:45,360
Speaker 3: called Magnetic South maybe, but then also Nevada Fighter. There's

299
00:16:45,400 --> 00:16:47,880
Speaker 3: one called pretty much your Standard ranch Stash, and I

300
00:16:48,040 --> 00:16:52,480
Speaker 3: really enjoyed these. They're great sort of country rock, much

301
00:16:52,720 --> 00:16:56,560
Speaker 3: like Graham Parsons or the Flying Burrito Brothers, similar kind

302
00:16:56,560 --> 00:16:58,040
Speaker 3: of stuff, and it was really good.

303
00:16:59,040 --> 00:17:02,440
Speaker 2: Very cool. Go ahead, let's go ahead and dive into

304
00:17:02,440 --> 00:17:04,240
Speaker 2: some Dune feedback here.

305
00:17:04,520 --> 00:17:05,159
Speaker 3: Oh boy.

306
00:17:05,400 --> 00:17:14,280
Speaker 2: The first one comes to us from Lorenzo. Lorenzo says, Hi, Robin, Joe,

307
00:17:14,280 --> 00:17:17,200
Speaker 2: I'm very pleased you're covering Dune two episodes. No less,

308
00:17:17,680 --> 00:17:20,440
Speaker 2: I wanted to write to you regarding the sound design

309
00:17:20,520 --> 00:17:22,800
Speaker 2: of the films of David Lynch, which I've been watching

310
00:17:22,800 --> 00:17:25,359
Speaker 2: since I was a kid. Joe, you were looking to

311
00:17:25,440 --> 00:17:29,080
Speaker 2: link Dune to subsequent Lynch films. Those soundscapes that persist

312
00:17:29,080 --> 00:17:31,800
Speaker 2: in hum that made the air heavy. I would have

313
00:17:31,800 --> 00:17:36,840
Speaker 2: propose that you could hear those films without seeing them. Thanks, Lorenzo.

314
00:17:37,160 --> 00:17:39,679
Speaker 3: Oh, Lorenzo, So you're saying that you could almost like

315
00:17:39,720 --> 00:17:42,119
Speaker 3: you could watch the movie without looking at the screen,

316
00:17:42,400 --> 00:17:45,600
Speaker 3: just like by the sounds creating the atmosphere and all that.

317
00:17:46,520 --> 00:17:49,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, I believe that's what he's saying here. And yeah,

318
00:17:49,760 --> 00:17:51,800
Speaker 2: that seems like a strong case to be made there.

319
00:17:51,960 --> 00:17:54,600
Speaker 3: I agree. Yeah, I love those David Lynch sounds. Wait,

320
00:17:54,680 --> 00:17:57,080
Speaker 3: but you've been watching the sound the movies of David

321
00:17:57,160 --> 00:17:58,560
Speaker 3: Lynch since you were a kid.

322
00:17:59,040 --> 00:18:03,000
Speaker 2: Well, I mean you'd start with Dune as a kid, right, Okay, yeah,

323
00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:04,720
Speaker 2: and then branch out of the other things. I think

324
00:18:04,760 --> 00:18:06,560
Speaker 2: that would that would be the best way to go.

325
00:18:07,480 --> 00:18:09,200
Speaker 2: Like if I were to start my son on David

326
00:18:09,280 --> 00:18:12,520
Speaker 2: Lynch and I was like really obsessed with getting him

327
00:18:12,640 --> 00:18:14,960
Speaker 2: literate in David Lynch, Like that's that's where we would

328
00:18:15,000 --> 00:18:18,440
Speaker 2: start at his age. Yeah, and even then I would

329
00:18:18,440 --> 00:18:19,760
Speaker 2: be like, this is gonna be a lot.

330
00:18:19,960 --> 00:18:22,880
Speaker 3: I'm just imagining like eight year old's watching Eraserhead.

331
00:18:23,720 --> 00:18:26,600
Speaker 2: Yeah no, not not appropriate? Not appropriate?

332
00:18:26,880 --> 00:18:29,159
Speaker 3: All right, Next one, I'm gonna do is this message

333
00:18:29,160 --> 00:18:37,600
Speaker 3: from Steph. Steph says, Hi, Joe and Rob. I was

334
00:18:37,640 --> 00:18:41,280
Speaker 3: playing Listener Mail today and it unlocked a core memory

335
00:18:41,320 --> 00:18:45,080
Speaker 3: for me. My dad would rent a VCR when HBO

336
00:18:45,280 --> 00:18:48,480
Speaker 3: had their free preview weekends to record whatever movies he

337
00:18:48,520 --> 00:18:51,840
Speaker 3: could for free. One of our VHS tapes had the

338
00:18:51,920 --> 00:18:56,840
Speaker 3: combo of National Lampoon's Vacation, which segued into the first

339
00:18:56,920 --> 00:19:01,640
Speaker 3: part of Dune. In order to finish Dune, you had

340
00:19:01,640 --> 00:19:05,160
Speaker 3: to put in another VHS tape, which then segued from

341
00:19:05,200 --> 00:19:10,400
Speaker 3: the second part of Dune to Muppets Take Manhattan. Amazing.

342
00:19:11,160 --> 00:19:13,480
Speaker 3: I don't think you could plan a more jarring transition

343
00:19:13,560 --> 00:19:16,200
Speaker 3: from one style of movie to another. We had about

344
00:19:16,240 --> 00:19:19,080
Speaker 3: a dozen tapes like that that would abruptly change from

345
00:19:19,119 --> 00:19:22,119
Speaker 3: one genre to another with almost no warning. It was

346
00:19:22,160 --> 00:19:25,280
Speaker 3: a wild time in home entertainment, but I remember but

347
00:19:25,359 --> 00:19:28,680
Speaker 3: one I remember with such fondness. We eventually bought our

348
00:19:28,880 --> 00:19:31,840
Speaker 3: very own VCRs, so then we always had something cool

349
00:19:31,880 --> 00:19:35,080
Speaker 3: to watch if we were homesick from school. Because a

350
00:19:35,160 --> 00:19:37,840
Speaker 3: kid could only take so much. Price is right when

351
00:19:38,040 --> 00:19:41,879
Speaker 3: you weren't feeling well. Always enjoy your shows, but especially

352
00:19:41,920 --> 00:19:44,240
Speaker 3: love weird house cinema. You have introduced me to so

353
00:19:44,359 --> 00:19:47,600
Speaker 3: many great weird movies and reminded me of others that

354
00:19:47,640 --> 00:19:49,760
Speaker 3: I had forgotten. When I saw that you were doing

355
00:19:49,880 --> 00:19:52,480
Speaker 3: a two parter on the nineteen eighty four version of Dune,

356
00:19:52,600 --> 00:19:56,520
Speaker 3: I let out an audible yes while making dinner that

357
00:19:56,600 --> 00:19:59,440
Speaker 3: caused my husband to wonder what was going on. Thanks

358
00:19:59,480 --> 00:20:01,800
Speaker 3: for all you do, staff.

359
00:20:01,920 --> 00:20:03,640
Speaker 2: That's great. I'm glad I'm not the only one who

360
00:20:03,680 --> 00:20:05,920
Speaker 2: had those tapes with like the three movies taped off

361
00:20:05,960 --> 00:20:08,680
Speaker 2: of HBO on them. I was I was thinking a

362
00:20:08,720 --> 00:20:11,119
Speaker 2: little bit more on this, and I could be wrong

363
00:20:11,240 --> 00:20:14,760
Speaker 2: about like what each individual tape, you know, contained, but

364
00:20:15,080 --> 00:20:18,680
Speaker 2: I vaguely remember there being a tape that maybe had Poltergeist,

365
00:20:19,000 --> 00:20:22,840
Speaker 2: which I was terrified to watch, terrifying film, and I

366
00:20:22,840 --> 00:20:26,040
Speaker 2: think it's still the effects hold up, Yeah, not get

367
00:20:26,080 --> 00:20:28,280
Speaker 2: appropriate in my opinion. And then it had Raiders of

368
00:20:28,320 --> 00:20:31,239
Speaker 2: the Lost Arc, which was one of my favorites. And

369
00:20:31,280 --> 00:20:34,000
Speaker 2: then I think it also had the nineteen eighty four

370
00:20:34,240 --> 00:20:39,240
Speaker 2: Robin Williams drama Moscow on the Hudson, which was not

371
00:20:39,320 --> 00:20:45,159
Speaker 2: appropriate for children or even like interesting to children, but

372
00:20:45,680 --> 00:20:46,280
Speaker 2: it was there.

373
00:20:46,520 --> 00:20:49,000
Speaker 3: I had tapes like this as well, not from HBO.

374
00:20:49,359 --> 00:20:52,520
Speaker 3: I don't recall us ever getting free free trials of

375
00:20:52,680 --> 00:20:54,760
Speaker 3: HBO or anything. I guess I don't know. That must

376
00:20:54,800 --> 00:20:57,679
Speaker 3: have been the thing somewhere else or something, but we

377
00:20:57,720 --> 00:21:00,560
Speaker 3: didn't have that. We had stuff that was taped off

378
00:21:00,600 --> 00:21:05,400
Speaker 3: of TV, sometimes with like jarring transitions where I got

379
00:21:05,440 --> 00:21:06,840
Speaker 3: really good at doing this thing when I was a kid,

380
00:21:06,840 --> 00:21:08,960
Speaker 3: where I would try to hit stop recording during the

381
00:21:08,960 --> 00:21:12,040
Speaker 3: commercial breaks on the TV things and then started back up.

382
00:21:12,880 --> 00:21:15,040
Speaker 3: But sometimes you'd miss your queue and then so like

383
00:21:15,080 --> 00:21:17,000
Speaker 3: part of the movie would be gone, and then sometimes

384
00:21:17,040 --> 00:21:20,800
Speaker 3: you'd accidentally tape over something. So yeah, my tapes were

385
00:21:20,800 --> 00:21:23,080
Speaker 3: a mess, but I cherished them. Nonetheless.

386
00:21:23,680 --> 00:21:29,040
Speaker 2: It's crazy looking back on how we use VHS technology

387
00:21:29,040 --> 00:21:32,200
Speaker 2: at times to try and capture some sort of pristine

388
00:21:32,359 --> 00:21:35,359
Speaker 2: cut of a film off of a television broadcast, like

389
00:21:35,400 --> 00:21:39,280
Speaker 2: it was never going to be, like the video quality

390
00:21:39,359 --> 00:21:41,280
Speaker 2: wasn't going to be good. You probably weren't going to

391
00:21:41,359 --> 00:21:45,120
Speaker 2: have like the actual theatrical cut to any extent, and

392
00:21:45,359 --> 00:21:50,120
Speaker 2: it's not like your removal of the advertisements was going

393
00:21:50,160 --> 00:21:54,040
Speaker 2: to be seamless. And then fast forward till today, those

394
00:21:54,080 --> 00:21:57,600
Speaker 2: sorts of tapes they're mostly only interesting if you have

395
00:21:58,119 --> 00:22:01,960
Speaker 2: the commercial still on there if you still have studio

396
00:22:02,520 --> 00:22:07,040
Speaker 2: not studio, but you know, TV station material on there,

397
00:22:07,040 --> 00:22:08,879
Speaker 2: things other than the movie, which is gonna be in

398
00:22:08,920 --> 00:22:10,240
Speaker 2: dreadful quality to begin with.

399
00:22:10,520 --> 00:22:12,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, and also the way they used to edit things

400
00:22:12,800 --> 00:22:15,600
Speaker 3: for TV, not just for content, but just for run time,

401
00:22:15,760 --> 00:22:19,639
Speaker 3: so there'd just be stuff cut out randomly to you know,

402
00:22:19,680 --> 00:22:22,320
Speaker 3: to get it down to fit. Nothing's in the original

403
00:22:22,320 --> 00:22:23,240
Speaker 3: aspect ratio.

404
00:22:24,080 --> 00:22:27,359
Speaker 2: It's hilarious, Yeah, except in rare exceptions where you have

405
00:22:27,400 --> 00:22:29,919
Speaker 2: films that have never come out in better quality, and

406
00:22:29,960 --> 00:22:33,000
Speaker 2: there are there are still those out there for sure.

407
00:22:33,560 --> 00:22:34,960
Speaker 3: Let's see Rob. Do you mind if I do this

408
00:22:35,080 --> 00:22:37,760
Speaker 3: last message from Constantinos here? Oh?

409
00:22:37,880 --> 00:22:38,159
Speaker 2: Yes do?

410
00:22:43,760 --> 00:22:48,000
Speaker 3: Constantinos says so apropos of nothing in particular. Here is

411
00:22:48,040 --> 00:22:51,800
Speaker 3: a twenty ten fat Boy Slim video of Christopher Walkin

412
00:22:51,960 --> 00:22:55,640
Speaker 3: dancing to the song Weapon of Choice. Note the lyrics

413
00:22:55,680 --> 00:22:59,639
Speaker 3: at about two minutes into the song. The lyrics are

414
00:22:59,760 --> 00:23:03,359
Speaker 3: walking without rhythm, it won't attract the worm. Uh, And

415
00:23:03,440 --> 00:23:06,600
Speaker 3: it just keeps repeating that until finally it says, if

416
00:23:06,640 --> 00:23:08,359
Speaker 3: you walk without rhythm, you never learn.

417
00:23:09,080 --> 00:23:09,480
Speaker 2: Uh.

418
00:23:09,600 --> 00:23:11,639
Speaker 3: Just a little note. I don't think I realized this

419
00:23:11,720 --> 00:23:13,520
Speaker 3: until I looked the song up. But the vocals on

420
00:23:13,560 --> 00:23:15,080
Speaker 3: this song are by Bootsy Collins.

421
00:23:15,600 --> 00:23:18,720
Speaker 2: Mm hmm, yeah, I think they're altered a little bit,

422
00:23:19,119 --> 00:23:20,600
Speaker 2: but yeah, that's that's Bootsy in there.

423
00:23:20,800 --> 00:23:23,360
Speaker 3: But this is a This is a classic fat Boy

424
00:23:23,440 --> 00:23:27,000
Speaker 3: Slim video directed by Spike Jones, I believe with yeah,

425
00:23:27,040 --> 00:23:30,639
Speaker 3: with Christopher Walkin dancing, and Christopher Walkin of course was

426
00:23:30,640 --> 00:23:33,080
Speaker 3: a dancer, so you know he can he can handle it.

427
00:23:33,640 --> 00:23:36,080
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, you also see him dancing and What Pennies

428
00:23:36,119 --> 00:23:38,960
Speaker 2: from Heaven? I believe he dances in that film as well.

429
00:23:39,280 --> 00:23:40,040
Speaker 3: I've seen it.

430
00:23:40,400 --> 00:23:43,280
Speaker 2: Oh it's pretty good as racllp in a while, but yeah,

431
00:23:43,320 --> 00:23:47,000
Speaker 2: he definitely cuts a rug in this in this Fat

432
00:23:47,040 --> 00:23:49,919
Speaker 2: Boy Slim video. I I I do vividly remember it

433
00:23:50,440 --> 00:23:54,440
Speaker 2: when it first debuted on MTV, and uh it's it's

434
00:23:54,440 --> 00:23:56,240
Speaker 2: a great track as well. I mean, fat Boy Slim

435
00:23:56,280 --> 00:24:00,680
Speaker 2: had some real some some really good hits. Album Better

436
00:24:00,680 --> 00:24:04,240
Speaker 2: Living Through Chemistry from nineteen ninety six was pretty phenomenal.

437
00:24:04,680 --> 00:24:08,600
Speaker 3: Anyway, coming back to Constantinos's message, I'm pretty sure that

438
00:24:08,720 --> 00:24:13,040
Speaker 3: this is video evidence that Christopher Walkin manifested the newest

439
00:24:13,119 --> 00:24:16,880
Speaker 3: Dune movie just by sheer force of will or can

440
00:24:16,960 --> 00:24:19,639
Speaker 3: you just believe it is a happy coincidence that this

441
00:24:19,720 --> 00:24:22,960
Speaker 3: man happened to be cast in Dune a decade after

442
00:24:23,119 --> 00:24:27,240
Speaker 3: this wonderful jazz somba fusion dance ode to Shi hulud.

443
00:24:27,480 --> 00:24:33,600
Speaker 3: Because there is no Illuminati and birds are real, just

444
00:24:33,640 --> 00:24:36,200
Speaker 3: trying to keep doing weird Thank you for a fun

445
00:24:36,400 --> 00:24:40,080
Speaker 3: edition of Weird House Cinema. Now do the series, and

446
00:24:40,119 --> 00:24:44,320
Speaker 3: then Constantinos includes a link and says regards, well, thank

447
00:24:44,359 --> 00:24:46,640
Speaker 3: you very much for the message, and thank you for

448
00:24:46,680 --> 00:24:49,439
Speaker 3: giving me an excuse to watch this video again. I

449
00:24:49,480 --> 00:24:53,040
Speaker 3: really enjoyed it, and I truly I don't think I

450
00:24:53,040 --> 00:24:56,560
Speaker 3: had ever noticed the quote from Dune in it before.

451
00:24:57,160 --> 00:24:59,679
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, yeah, walk without rhythm so you don't attract

452
00:24:59,680 --> 00:25:03,800
Speaker 2: the word yeah. Apparently someone asked him about this in

453
00:25:03,840 --> 00:25:06,919
Speaker 2: a recent interview, and he said that he never realized

454
00:25:06,960 --> 00:25:10,760
Speaker 2: there was a Dune connection in it until he was

455
00:25:10,840 --> 00:25:13,800
Speaker 2: cast in the recent Dune Part two film, and then

456
00:25:13,840 --> 00:25:15,080
Speaker 2: someone pointed it out to him.

457
00:25:15,400 --> 00:25:16,199
Speaker 3: Must be magic.

458
00:25:16,720 --> 00:25:20,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, but absolutely great track, still holds up, great music video.

459
00:25:21,200 --> 00:25:22,480
Speaker 3: Okay, should we wrap it up there?

460
00:25:22,840 --> 00:25:24,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, let's go ahead and wrap it up. But we'd

461
00:25:24,920 --> 00:25:26,679
Speaker 2: love to hear from everyone out there if you have
