Speaker 2: Wait, isn't it? But Bob Dylan wrote it? Right?
Speaker 1: Bob Dylan wrote it, Jimmy performed it, and so did
Speaker 1: Dave Matthews Band, which I have to admit I'm a
Speaker 1: little more familiar with the Dave Matthews Band of it from.
Speaker 2: Live at the Red Brock.
Speaker 4: Did he really be like there must be some way
Speaker 4: out of here, like Matthews exactly.
Speaker 2: Somewhere addle headdle here up, don't go.

Speaker 1: voice vocal range, like he's doing Muppet voices up there,
Speaker 1: and god bless you know. Yep, forty thousand drunk teenagers
Speaker 1: can't be wrong.
Speaker 2: Nope, they never can be Never. Did we say who
Speaker 2: we are? No? I think we're just I and you're
Speaker 2: Jimmy Hendrix.
Speaker 1: I'm David David Matthews, and these well, these miles are
Speaker 1: some things that are trending. They got him, They got
Speaker 1: a speaker, Baby, they did it, folks.
Speaker 4: They settled on someone who had all of the requisite
Speaker 4: qualities to be the Republican Speaker of the House. Insurrectionist
Speaker 4: chack islamophobe, chack, yeah, homophobe, oh yeah, xenophobe. Oh yeah,
Speaker 4: we'd check this. Yeah, I mean, it's it's the typical
Speaker 4: thing of like marijuana will make you what's the first
Speaker 4: puff is marijuana, the second one is heroin. But yeah,
Speaker 4: Mike Johnson from Louisiana, who some people describe as just
Speaker 4: Jim Jordan, like in a suit Jim.
Speaker 1: Jordan, but he like wears glasses, he like looks boring,
Speaker 1: and that it really feels like they have like that
Speaker 1: is the calculation. He's like far right extremist, but he
Speaker 1: looks like he's not. Maybe he looks like just a lawyer,
Speaker 1: which he is a lawyer and in fact was like
Speaker 1: one of the big proponents of getting Republicans behind Trump's
Speaker 1: attempt to overturn the.
Speaker 4: T So this guy's this guy's he's again, he's got
Speaker 4: the requisite qualities again, his character check lower than snake nipples.
Speaker 1: Snake nipples, that boy from the Louisiana.
Speaker 2: We'll see what I mean, we'll see what this guy does.
Speaker 2: It's it's gonna be predictable.
Speaker 4: It's it's gonna be fucking chaos. But hey, they came together,
Speaker 4: and who knows how long he will last?
Speaker 1: There is you know, yeah, it's it feels like it's
Speaker 1: just pure exhaustion embarrassment. Like they heard people repeatedly saying like, wow,
Speaker 1: they really seem like their party might be on the
Speaker 1: verge of collapse. They can't even go for someone, and
Speaker 1: they were like, why don't we get behind the worst,
Speaker 1: the worst one who kind of looks like he's not
Speaker 1: a crazy person.
Speaker 4: So yeah, I mean it's this is like he was
Speaker 4: also remembering their time of like expunging Donald Trump's like
Speaker 4: record and ship. He was like one of the people
Speaker 4: pushing for that. So yep, there it is. So we'll
Speaker 4: see what's what, We'll see how little is done and
Speaker 4: who knows if there's a shutdown coming up.
Speaker 1: But hey, they said you want some coke, there it
Speaker 1: is there.
Speaker 2: It is through him.
Speaker 1: Of coke on the ground.
Speaker 2: That's a reference to the departed.
Speaker 1: So people the pilot who turned off the engine, the
Speaker 1: fuel supply to the engine, off duty pilot, off duty,
Speaker 1: offtuty pilot. He was not the pilot of the plane.
Speaker 1: He was off duty, was sitting in the jump seat,
Speaker 1: tried to turn off fuel to the engine. He was
Speaker 1: having a mental health crisis. But the thing people are
Speaker 1: focusing on is that he had taken what is being
Speaker 1: described by CNN as magic mushrooms.
Speaker 2: Are magic? Yeah, I mean yeah, it's every headline CNN.
Speaker 4: Off duty pilot accused of trying to shut off Airliners
Speaker 4: engine midflight. He took quote magic mushrooms forty eight hours before.
Speaker 4: NBC off duty last Carolines plane pilot said he took
Speaker 4: magic mushrooms forty eight hours before allegedly trying to shut
Speaker 4: down the plane. Pilot who allegedly tried to shut off
Speaker 4: engines hadn't. This is a better one from ABC News,
Speaker 4: which is I think a little more important. Pilot who
Speaker 4: allegedly tried to shut off engines hadn't slept in forty hours.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that'll do you.
Speaker 2: Because it's funny too.
Speaker 4: In that CNN article where they're like, hey man, the
Speaker 4: magic mushrooms, they talked to a fucking like like a
Speaker 4: substance expert who's like, yeah, they the psilocybin probably wouldn't
Speaker 4: have been in his system like that forty eight hours
Speaker 4: later like anything. It's it's not like, you know, it's
Speaker 4: like alcohol. It's like your body processes it and then
Speaker 4: you're not drunk anymore. But yeah, maybe things can linger
Speaker 4: along with the fact that he said he was like
Speaker 4: I think having some kind of like panic attack too.
Speaker 2: But everyone's going all in on the shrooms.
Speaker 1: Well yeah, and it's not great. It's not great to
Speaker 1: do psilocybin when you're going through a mental health crisis,
Speaker 1: which it seems like this person did. So yeah, all
Speaker 1: around scary story, but I don't don't.
Speaker 2: Don't blame the psilocybin.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it feels like this could be used to like
Speaker 1: kind of throw water on a lot of exciting research
Speaker 1: being done into clinical uses for psilocybin. Did not do
Speaker 1: it clinically, would be.
Speaker 2: No, no, probably a macro dose as well. But yeah, like, oh.
Speaker 4: Here there's one big pharmanews dot com. Psilocybin almost killed
Speaker 4: a plane full of airline passengers.
Speaker 2: You that that sounds like that sounds like a headline,
Speaker 2: they would.
Speaker 1: Write, that's right. Uh, should we be getting ready for
Speaker 1: a concert film boom?
Speaker 2: Miles? Oh, should we tell?
Speaker 1: People are telling me that's what I'm hearing from the
Speaker 1: Hollywood Reporter. Okay, first news source that I check every morning,
Speaker 1: every morning. But yeah, following the success of the Aras Tour,
Speaker 1: movie industry analysts are expecting there there will be a
Speaker 1: boom in concert films. We also have Beyonce's Renaissance Tour movie,
Speaker 1: which was already scheduled to come out in December. I
Speaker 1: think a big part of what we're seeing here is
Speaker 1: that the artists are working directly with AMC and theater
Speaker 1: chains and are in turn receiving in excess of fifty
Speaker 1: percent of box office grosses.
Speaker 2: Ho, that's good for them, that's the deal, and shout out.
Speaker 2: I love that.
Speaker 4: AMC is like, oh yeah, yeah, yeah, we can just
Speaker 4: split that. I mean, yeah, we'll do sixty forty. Yeah
Speaker 4: take forty because we don't we're not doing anything except distribution.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yah, h okay.
Speaker 1: Dolly Parton is going to be releasing her album into
Speaker 1: Like she's having a listening first listen event with like
Speaker 1: a couple behind the scenes, you know, video film things
Speaker 1: for an upcoming album.
Speaker 2: So it's a listening party in video.
Speaker 1: Form in movie in movie theaters, which I don't know,
Speaker 1: like seeing people dancing down in front of the screen
Speaker 1: at the eras tour, like just being like this is
Speaker 1: not like we shouldn't be having a conversation about movie
Speaker 1: etiquette because this is not a movie going experience in
Speaker 1: any traditional sense. This is like using a movie theater
Speaker 1: for a different thing. Yeah, it's kind of cool, like it, Hey,
Speaker 1: look there's a dance floor down right in front of
Speaker 1: the screen. I do feel like the I've had this
Speaker 1: thought before, and now it seems like it's like kind
Speaker 1: of happening that, like the movie theater is an underutilized space,
Speaker 1: like for sure, to only use this big public viewing
Speaker 1: thing with like wildly expensive projection and sound systems only
Speaker 1: to show like movies that just came out, so like
Speaker 1: a tiny fraction of the movies that are available for
Speaker 1: people to watch, which itself like movies are a tiny
Speaker 1: fraction of the audio visual entertainment that's available for people
Speaker 1: to watch and enjoy and experience. Like you know, there
Speaker 1: are obviously, like the anniversary re releases and revival theaters
Speaker 1: that show old movies, but it feels like that could
Speaker 1: be something that would be used more mainstream, Like it
Speaker 1: I could see a world in like ten years we're
Speaker 1: looking back and being like, why did most theaters only
Speaker 1: show a tiny like sliver like three movies that had
Speaker 1: just come out? Like that feels weird to me? Why not,
Speaker 1: Like have people who are great curators have like proven
Speaker 1: themselves to be great curators like programming your theater on
Speaker 1: a regular basis?
Speaker 4: Yeah, And I think like it not just like to
Speaker 4: the point where it doesn't have to be just film.
Speaker 2: Like I'm always like, yeah, when there's like a big.
Speaker 4: Like you know, like a like World Cup or something
Speaker 4: like that happening, it was like, why don't you just
Speaker 4: open up, Like why don't you could pack that theater
Speaker 4: out if people want to just watch a game in that,
Speaker 4: because look, it's basically a giant fucking TV. So if
Speaker 4: you look at it that way, you could do all
Speaker 4: kinds of different shit in there, not.
Speaker 2: Just being like hey come watch Yeah, you know, I
Speaker 2: think like like.
Speaker 1: Toyed with that before, but now seems to be now
Speaker 1: that like all of these you know, different uh, economic
Speaker 1: like structures that have ruled how entertainment works for the
Speaker 1: past six decades are like breaking down and you know,
Speaker 1: not not always for the better. It feels like this
Speaker 1: could be a way for people to just like work
Speaker 1: directly with theaters and you know, use the natch abilities
Speaker 1: of movie theaters, like right things cool.
Speaker 4: Like what if you went and you could watch like
Speaker 4: the first three episodes of like Watchmen, you know, like
Speaker 4: in a theater and just kind of take it in that.
Speaker 4: I mean like, I feel like there's so many ways
Speaker 4: you could just like revive things that a ton of
Speaker 4: people liked and be like, hey, hey, you want to
Speaker 4: see that except in a theater. Yeah, as like Victors
Speaker 4: Superdus a Victor's playing. What about Super Smash Bros. Tournament
Speaker 4: in a movie theater? Yeah, you know, people come out
Speaker 4: for shit like that. I'd go and fucking play FIFA
Speaker 4: probably in a movie. The problem is I can't really
Speaker 4: turn up in a movie there. That's the other thing
Speaker 4: that would be you know nice if they made it
Speaker 4: like truly like an all purpose venue. So yeah, you
Speaker 4: can drink in there, you can eat in there, Yeah,
Speaker 4: whatever you want to do.
Speaker 1: That was what like we sometimes will runt out of
Speaker 1: a theater and watch a movie like as a team,
Speaker 1: you know, hang, hang and like it. The big thing
Speaker 1: that is fun about that is like you can just
Speaker 1: talk out out loud, you know, be and be obnoxious.
Speaker 2: You're in the living room, yeah, with your.
Speaker 1: Friends, because you know that your friends are as obnoxious
Speaker 1: as you are.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and then you're like, wait, did you guys hear
Speaker 4: that what I just said about Elvis?
Speaker 1: Everybody, shut the fuck up, shut a funny thing about Elvis.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's Nicole, Nicole.
Speaker 1: We were the first ones to cheer for Nicole when
Speaker 1: she came out at the beginning of the movie, cheering.
Speaker 1: All right, let's take a quick break and and we're back.
Speaker 2: We're back, We're back, all right.
Speaker 1: Peter Richard Brown Tree StarCraft passed away at eighty one.
Speaker 1: One of the greats to ever do it. Chucky. So
Speaker 1: we were talking, We're talking child's play, Miles.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, that was.
Speaker 1: That was earlier today and earlier dead day. I could
Speaker 1: care that. I'm pretty your battery's done. Your battery's dying,
Speaker 1: which is batteries out once. I know, I know, Joe,
Speaker 1: I know, I know, Joe, kiss you, yeah, I know
Speaker 1: you just want to kiss me.
Speaker 2: I know. I know, let's get you to your bed.
Speaker 1: So you did a little dive. And where where does
Speaker 1: this come from?
Speaker 2: I mean it was more so.
Speaker 4: I just came across the headline about the origin story
Speaker 4: of the Chucky movies, and like, I guess, at first
Speaker 4: a lot of fans thought the Chucky Doll was based
Speaker 4: on this story about someone called Robert that haunted doll,
Speaker 4: and where a boy named Robert was given a doll
Speaker 4: by like one of his like like the maids that
Speaker 4: like worked for his family. And obviously this doll was
Speaker 4: cursed with voodoo because the maid wanted to get payback
Speaker 4: against the family for mistreating her. I'm like, hold on,
Speaker 4: that might be the story, more so than blaming the
Speaker 4: doll like for mistrading mistreating your domestic workers. And yeah,
Speaker 4: but apparently like this doll was like haunted, would move
Speaker 4: and yell and shit and do all kinds of freaky shit.
Speaker 2: However, that is not the reason we have the Chucky movies.
Speaker 4: Apparently the guy who came up with the film, Don Mancini,
Speaker 4: which is not like a made up mob character. He
Speaker 4: came up for the idea because of like the Cabbage Patch.
Speaker 2: Kids boom that was going on yeah.
Speaker 4: And like in nineteen I didn't realize I knew they were,
Speaker 4: they were like popular, but did you know there was
Speaker 4: like the like they called they called it the cabbage.
Speaker 2: Patch kid riots.
Speaker 4: Yeah, because parents were so like so turned up trying
Speaker 4: to get their hands on cabbage patch kids.
Speaker 1: One of my first pop culture memories is my older
Speaker 1: sister being like it being a huge deal when she
Speaker 1: finally got her cabbage patch kid.
Speaker 4: Yo, this is what I just want to play a
Speaker 4: clip from nineteen eighty three, like a local news clip
Speaker 4: in Wilkesbury, Pennsylvania, where they talk about how like it's
Speaker 4: the fucking it's just turn up city at the toy
Speaker 4: store this wilkes.
Speaker 3: Valley, Pennsylvania store, the pushing and shoving began. One woman
Speaker 3: was knocked to the floor and stuffed a broken leg.
Speaker 4: This guy's are yelling he's gotta stick and he's like
Speaker 4: fighting customers back.
Speaker 3: This scene has been repeated in hundreds of stores across
Speaker 3: the country that advertise the Cabbage Patch Kids. The cabbage patch.
Speaker 1: Anyway, it's just funny because dolls look like shit. They
Speaker 1: kind of close up of the doll. The doll looks
Speaker 1: like absolute shit.
Speaker 4: Listen how this reporter actually describes how, like Whack the
Speaker 4: cabbage Dollar is.
Speaker 3: Our dolls about sixteen inches high. They don't walk, talk
Speaker 3: with their pants, or grow hair. They don't do much
Speaker 3: of anything.
Speaker 2: Okay, they don't go peepy or sneak.
Speaker 1: The thing that was cool about them is they give
Speaker 1: you adoption papers when you get the cabbage patch.
Speaker 2: Doll, right right, right exactly, So that was like cool.
Speaker 4: That's the backdrop against which this guy came up with
Speaker 4: the idea. So it and his whole thing was like
Speaker 4: he wanted to be sort of like a tale about
Speaker 4: how consumerism and advertising it can like lead to bad
Speaker 4: things because in the movie, right, it's about getting like
Speaker 4: one of these good guys dolls, but the mom is
Speaker 4: so desperate in getting it she got to like just
Speaker 4: buy like a yank one from a.
Speaker 2: Dude on the street, which ends up being a murderous
Speaker 2: chucky doll. Yeah. So yeah.
Speaker 4: It turns out his dad was an advertising so from
Speaker 4: like a very young age he always like looked at
Speaker 4: these like commercials and the way things were marketed and
Speaker 4: was like this is fucked up.
Speaker 1: Like this there's a soullessness to it. What if you
Speaker 1: build that soullessness with the soul of a serial killer.
Speaker 2: Boom boom.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's tales oldest time, you know, but truly the
Speaker 1: clip that we just showed, or that we just watched,
Speaker 1: the person working at the store during the Cabbage Patch
Speaker 1: Kid praise was having a complete like he's screaming at
Speaker 1: the top of his lungs. Yeah, he's like left his
Speaker 1: body and it's just it.
Speaker 4: Looks like he's like he's trying to protect his family
Speaker 4: from like a wolf pack attack, like with like a
Speaker 4: with like a stick.
Speaker 2: He's like that fuck back. It's a close on it.
Speaker 1: It's a close up on his face. If they had
Speaker 1: pulled back and he was swinging a torch around that
Speaker 1: people like that, that would have felt like it covered
Speaker 1: covered off on like the energy he was giving.
Speaker 4: There's one more clip I just want to play, like
Speaker 4: towards the end of that report where they're asking like
Speaker 4: how it's just become like it's set off a collectible
Speaker 4: boom and they ask like this one older woman who's
Speaker 4: like in her seventies like about it, and she's like,
Speaker 4: I hate it.
Speaker 2: I don't like them.
Speaker 3: I don't like them, I don't like their faces, but
Speaker 3: I want one.
Speaker 1: I don't like their faces, but I want one. I
Speaker 1: don't like them, So I always assumed it was a
Speaker 1: comment on the My Buddy dolls. Do you remember them?
Speaker 2: Yeah, My Buddy's that song.
Speaker 1: Is fully burnt into the neuropathways of my brain, and
Speaker 1: that that's kind of who Chucky looks like, right, yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: it's like it's all yeah, yeah, yeah, there's like like
Speaker 1: all of those things kind of swirled together to create
Speaker 1: the Chucky as we know it. Yeah, I mean, I
Speaker 1: think there's also like something about the nature of consumerism
Speaker 1: and that instead of like having friends, you have a
Speaker 1: toy that is a friend that like fills in for
Speaker 1: this human connection that we used to have and for
Speaker 1: something unnatural to slip in there. And that unnatural thing
Speaker 1: to be the soul of a dead serial killer who
Speaker 1: got shot on top of a doll exactly, you know,
Speaker 1: is that what happens? He gets like shot in a
Speaker 1: doll factory or something.
Speaker 4: And then yeah, he like he and he uses voodoo
Speaker 4: to put his soul in the doll after like a
Speaker 4: cop gets him.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, because he can avoid it, can avoid accountability.
Speaker 4: But yeah, it's uh, but it's true. I mean like
Speaker 4: you think about the eighties man, like that we were
Speaker 4: just bared in that shit, you know what I mean,
Speaker 4: Like we were bombarded with commercials and ads that made
Speaker 4: you feel like a total dick if you didn't have
Speaker 4: a Teddy Ruckspin or a fucking glowworm or some shit.
Speaker 4: So I you know, I see, I see that part,
Speaker 4: and I didn't have a fucking glow worm or a
Speaker 4: fucking Teddy ruckspin.
Speaker 2: That's why I'm all fucked in the head. Now, that's right.
Speaker 2: You're twisted, man, I'm real twisted freak man. I never
Speaker 2: had no glow worm. I'm sick all right, feel bad tempo.
Speaker 1: Those are some of the things that are trending on
Speaker 1: this Wednesday, October twenty fifth. We are back tomorrow with
Speaker 1: a whole less episode of oh H. Until then, be
Speaker 1: kind to each other, be kind to yourselves, get the vaccine,
Speaker 1: don't do nothing about white supremacy is and we will
Speaker 1: talk to you all tomorrow. Fight bite
