21
00:00:54,280 --> 00:00:57,200
Speaker 2: there were sideboards. It's just just the word the phrase

22
00:00:57,240 --> 00:01:00,320
Speaker 2: the image sideboard says to me, Mom and Dad with

23
00:01:00,360 --> 00:01:03,440
Speaker 2: those that thing called a nest of occasionals, which was

24
00:01:03,480 --> 00:01:05,800
Speaker 2: a table, smaller table within it and in a smaller

25
00:01:05,840 --> 00:01:08,560
Speaker 2: table with a net one not as Russian dolls and

26
00:01:09,120 --> 00:01:11,760
Speaker 2: Patsy just came to the studio during that song, so

27
00:01:11,840 --> 00:01:14,680
Speaker 2: that she has not one, not two, but three sideboards.

28
00:01:15,880 --> 00:01:17,200
Speaker 5: Yes, correct?

29
00:01:17,240 --> 00:01:18,280
Speaker 6: Does that make me a nana?

30
00:01:18,440 --> 00:01:22,720
Speaker 2: No? No, no, no, you're just keeping these traditions going.

31
00:01:23,160 --> 00:01:26,200
Speaker 6: Just when we moved into the house, I had this

32
00:01:26,319 --> 00:01:31,000
Speaker 6: thing for like antique furniture, for like thirty style blackwood furniture.

33
00:01:31,200 --> 00:01:33,080
Speaker 7: Yeah. Do you know what'd be real nice? I think

34
00:01:33,080 --> 00:01:33,600
Speaker 7: it'd be grateful.

35
00:01:33,600 --> 00:01:35,839
Speaker 2: We could for the next kind of breakfast show merchandise

00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:40,839
Speaker 2: if we could give away sideboards. Mine have a show sideboard. Okay,

37
00:01:40,880 --> 00:01:42,679
Speaker 2: we need to have a look on gum tree or

38
00:01:42,800 --> 00:01:45,119
Speaker 2: hard rubbish. If you're ever getting rid of a sideboard,

Speaker 2: the space. All right, let's go to the lines. Now

47
00:02:05,640 --> 00:02:08,320

49
00:02:10,360 --> 00:02:10,839

00:02:10,919 --> 00:02:12,280
Speaker 3: I'm good mate, you're having a good week?

00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:14,280
Speaker 5: Yes, I am thank you all right?

52
00:02:14,320 --> 00:02:14,760
Speaker 7: So great?

53
00:02:15,120 --> 00:02:15,560
Speaker 3: Growing up?

54
00:02:15,560 --> 00:02:16,280
Speaker 7: What couldn't you touch?

55
00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:19,200
Speaker 5: When we were growing up, my father was a member

56
00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:22,919
Speaker 5: of the Freemasons and he had a black briefcase. Now,

57
00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:25,400
Speaker 5: we were never allowed to choop, we were never allowed

58
00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:27,560
Speaker 5: to know what was in it. So I used to

59
00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:30,200
Speaker 5: ask my mum and she'd say that secret men's business.

60
00:02:30,520 --> 00:02:32,720
Speaker 5: So we never ever knew. And when we when he

61
00:02:32,880 --> 00:02:35,840
Speaker 5: passed away, my twin sister and I opened it and

62
00:02:35,960 --> 00:02:38,919
Speaker 5: in it was a pair of white gloves and a Bible.

63
00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:43,480
Speaker 4: Yeah, okay, they're so secretive, the Freemasons.

64
00:02:43,520 --> 00:02:45,200
Speaker 3: They are around for all over the world.

65
00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:47,919
Speaker 6: The Freemasons, they normally keep their a printing. There was there,

66
00:02:47,919 --> 00:02:48,839
Speaker 6: no there.

67
00:02:49,680 --> 00:02:53,200
Speaker 5: You don't get an apron unless you're a master, which

68
00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:58,760
Speaker 5: I learned later on from my husband's father was a Mason,

69
00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:02,200
Speaker 5: so they used will keep their jewels in it, special

70
00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:04,920
Speaker 5: jewels I get awarded as I move up the masonry.

71
00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:08,560
Speaker 6: My dad was a master and my grandfather, Yes, oh wow,

72
00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:10,840
Speaker 6: where do you think the old Godfather?

73
00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:16,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, they called it the Freemasons, but you know, the

74
00:03:16,480 --> 00:03:19,480
Speaker 2: police known as the Godfather family.

75
00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:22,440
Speaker 4: Booked me into that chiropractice the way of the Freema.

76
00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:25,320
Speaker 2: Case with their jewels and gloves hurting gloves, so big

77
00:03:25,320 --> 00:03:27,040
Speaker 2: black leather gloves are busting people up.

78
00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:31,840
Speaker 5: All right, it was a good excuse to just go

79
00:03:31,960 --> 00:03:33,440
Speaker 5: for the boys to get together for a drink.

80
00:03:33,480 --> 00:03:35,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, it probably wasn't even a freemason, just had a

81
00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:36,880
Speaker 2: couple of those things just to make it look like that.

82
00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:39,560
Speaker 7: Let's go to I hope I pronounced this right, is it?

83
00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:40,400
Speaker 3: Yepper?

84
00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:42,720
Speaker 7: That is spot on, mate, Thank you very.

85
00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:43,280
Speaker 3: Much, Yepper.

86
00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:45,560
Speaker 7: What couldn't you go anywhere near when you've grown up?

87
00:03:45,600 --> 00:03:46,600
Speaker 7: What weren't you allowed to touch?

88
00:03:46,800 --> 00:03:49,280
Speaker 5: We were not allowed to touch when we were driving

89
00:03:49,320 --> 00:03:51,640
Speaker 5: and sitting in the back seat in my grandmother's car,

90
00:03:51,720 --> 00:03:53,000
Speaker 5: we weren't allowed to touch.

91
00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:57,440
Speaker 2: The dials for the settings for the seeds, well the

92
00:03:57,480 --> 00:03:58,080
Speaker 2: front seeds.

93
00:03:58,160 --> 00:04:00,280
Speaker 5: Yeah, because she told us that if we did while

94
00:04:00,320 --> 00:04:02,119
Speaker 5: the car was moving, it would roll over.

95
00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:08,120
Speaker 2: That's that's an amazing one. I've not heard that before,

96
00:04:08,120 --> 00:04:09,680
Speaker 2: but yeah, I can imagine. It was just it was

97
00:04:09,720 --> 00:04:11,920
Speaker 2: just when nowadays it's all electronic, isn't it. You move

98
00:04:11,960 --> 00:04:13,880
Speaker 2: the little buttons forward and backwards for the settings on

99
00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:16,200
Speaker 2: the seats, and it was just that that round dial.

100
00:04:16,760 --> 00:04:18,200
Speaker 4: I've still got that twist one.

101
00:04:18,920 --> 00:04:21,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'll be careful, Jack, don't making around that too much.

102
00:04:21,279 --> 00:04:22,520
Speaker 2: The car will turn over.

103
00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:27,200
Speaker 1: The Christian O'Connell show podcast.

104
00:04:27,480 --> 00:04:29,719
Speaker 2: So then we go back to the year two thousand,

105
00:04:29,880 --> 00:04:31,960
Speaker 2: So just cast your mind back where there's been all

106
00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:34,040
Speaker 2: that hype in the UK. It was all about the

107
00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:37,680
Speaker 2: y two planes were going to drop out the sky.

108
00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:39,880
Speaker 4: Yes, you know, like a wave would blow up.

109
00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:42,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, hospitals or the equipment, we're just start walking. They

110
00:04:42,839 --> 00:04:45,240
Speaker 2: all reset to the zero zero. There was a genuine

111
00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:48,200
Speaker 2: dread about what was going to happen everyone with beta breath,

112
00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:51,679
Speaker 2: and there were people's stockpiling food was just like before

113
00:04:51,720 --> 00:04:54,320
Speaker 2: there was COVID, people stop piling food and getting it

114
00:04:54,360 --> 00:04:56,000
Speaker 2: ready for the end of the world. And do you

115
00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:59,320
Speaker 2: know what happened Nah, I think absolutely nothing. But there

116
00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:00,680
Speaker 2: was no glitch to anything.

117
00:05:00,760 --> 00:05:02,640
Speaker 4: Yeah, but we were we were one of the front

118
00:05:02,680 --> 00:05:05,279

Speaker 6: That's right.

Speaker 2: seeing in and on the TV in the pub. Everyone

Speaker 4: I was starting my first year of high school, which

137
00:05:44,320 --> 00:05:46,400
Speaker 4: it was easy enough for me because a lot of

138
00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:48,120
Speaker 4: my friends from primary school were going to the same

139

140
00:05:50,760 --> 00:05:53,560

00:05:53,560 --> 00:05:55,520
Speaker 4: put in the grave without any of my friends, and

142
00:05:55,560 --> 00:05:56,520
Speaker 4: they all got together.

143
00:05:56,920 --> 00:05:57,640
Speaker 6: Why was that?

Speaker 2: It was just my wife and I and we moved

162
00:06:44,160 --> 00:06:46,719
Speaker 2: up to Liverpool. I was going up there to relaunch

163
00:06:47,279 --> 00:06:50,040
Speaker 2: a radio station up there, and I remember it was

164
00:06:50,160 --> 00:06:53,359
Speaker 2: just it was a tinpot, tempot setup, but I was

165
00:06:53,360 --> 00:06:56,240
Speaker 2: going to work with this legendary radio program in the UK.

166
00:06:56,560 --> 00:06:58,600
Speaker 2: Changed my whole approach to the radio. An amazing time

167
00:06:58,680 --> 00:07:01,440
Speaker 2: up in Liverpool, great city, liboo, but it was so

168
00:07:01,600 --> 00:07:04,840
Speaker 2: tinpot right they could they did, They couldn't afford to

169
00:07:05,040 --> 00:07:07,279
Speaker 2: any engineer. There was no engineer in the radio station.

170
00:07:07,720 --> 00:07:09,840
Speaker 2: And at least three times a week the show would

171
00:07:09,920 --> 00:07:12,000
Speaker 2: just crash, go off air and I would have to

172
00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:14,880
Speaker 2: call a help desk in India and then you know

173
00:07:14,920 --> 00:07:19,240
Speaker 2: those racks. I had to go in there and they

174
00:07:19,280 --> 00:07:21,640
Speaker 2: would take me through what to do to reboot and

175
00:07:21,680 --> 00:07:22,680
Speaker 2: restart the breakfasture.

176
00:07:22,800 --> 00:07:24,480
Speaker 7: Sometimes it would take twenty minutes a half an hour.

177
00:07:24,520 --> 00:07:25,120
Speaker 4: So what's on it?

178
00:07:25,160 --> 00:07:25,520
Speaker 3: Did it?

179
00:07:25,560 --> 00:07:26,000
Speaker 1: Did it?

180
00:07:27,080 --> 00:07:30,280
Speaker 2: Not just that there was no producer, no sidekick. It

181
00:07:30,320 --> 00:07:32,400
Speaker 2: was just me and the news guy, right, And I

182
00:07:32,400 --> 00:07:34,400
Speaker 2: remember there was a funny woman called Lucy used to

183
00:07:34,440 --> 00:07:36,240
Speaker 2: call in lot when everyone was doing Phone is right,

184
00:07:36,520 --> 00:07:38,920
Speaker 2: And in the end I hired her and I think

185
00:07:38,960 --> 00:07:40,680
Speaker 2: I paid the twenty bucks that's all I could afford,

186
00:07:40,720 --> 00:07:42,480
Speaker 2: and she had to leave at Court bas State to

187
00:07:42,480 --> 00:07:44,720
Speaker 2: go to her actual job. She was a nurse, but

188
00:07:44,840 --> 00:07:46,480
Speaker 2: she was so funny. I said, could you just be

189
00:07:46,560 --> 00:07:48,120
Speaker 2: my sidekick for a couple of hours in the morning.

190
00:07:48,120 --> 00:07:49,960
Speaker 2: I can't pay you much. So it was just it

191
00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:51,760
Speaker 2: was just me and her. I had no producer to

192
00:07:52,240 --> 00:07:54,280
Speaker 2: send all the listener prizes out. I could ring them

193
00:07:54,280 --> 00:07:54,760
Speaker 2: after the show.

194
00:07:55,760 --> 00:08:01,960
Speaker 1: Dress please, christ and I a Christian O'Connell show.

195
00:08:02,600 --> 00:08:04,680
Speaker 2: Every week on the show that we do something called

196
00:08:04,680 --> 00:08:06,840
Speaker 2: the Wonder Year. We go back to a year in detail,

197
00:08:07,040 --> 00:08:09,880
Speaker 2: look at what was happening nineteen eighty six. For me,

198
00:08:09,960 --> 00:08:12,160
Speaker 2: I was thirteen. Everything was great in my life. I

199
00:08:12,160 --> 00:08:13,800
Speaker 2: had a BMX bite, I had my mates.

200
00:08:13,880 --> 00:08:14,280
Speaker 3: That was it.

201
00:08:14,320 --> 00:08:16,720
Speaker 2: I was sorted there were great movies out. There were

202
00:08:16,760 --> 00:08:18,800
Speaker 2: so many great movies out. One of the big one

203
00:08:18,800 --> 00:08:20,880
Speaker 2: for Memmer mates was of course Top Gun. It was

204
00:08:20,880 --> 00:08:23,800
Speaker 2: the biggest grosser movie of nineteen eighty six. It made

205
00:08:23,880 --> 00:08:26,640
Speaker 2: get this, almost a billion dollars. And this is in

206
00:08:26,720 --> 00:08:29,760
Speaker 2: nineteen eighty six. Top Gun was a huge movie made

207
00:08:29,840 --> 00:08:33,440
Speaker 2: by Ridley Scott. His brother Tony Scott directed Top Gun.

208
00:08:33,480 --> 00:08:35,400
Speaker 2: Get this this can only happen in the eighties. He

209
00:08:35,520 --> 00:08:37,760
Speaker 2: was hired with the back of a TV commercially made

210
00:08:37,960 --> 00:08:40,520
Speaker 2: for the Saab cars. You might have seen this advert.

211
00:08:40,520 --> 00:08:43,680
Speaker 2: It's one where the Saab car is racing a fighter jet.

212
00:08:44,040 --> 00:08:46,079
Speaker 2: And Bruckheimer, who was the big money dot producer of

213
00:08:46,120 --> 00:08:48,679
Speaker 2: the eighties, saw that advert and went, let's hire the

214
00:08:48,760 --> 00:08:50,320
Speaker 2: director to make this movie Top Gun.

215
00:08:50,320 --> 00:08:51,080
Speaker 7: They had this idea.

216
00:08:51,320 --> 00:08:55,920
Speaker 2: Everything that was excessive about the eighties and what became

217
00:08:56,160 --> 00:09:00,240
Speaker 2: MTV and music video arrived. Kicking and screaming Chloel in

218
00:09:00,280 --> 00:09:03,400
Speaker 2: the movie Top Gun. Literally, Tom Cruise became the movie

219
00:09:03,440 --> 00:09:06,240
Speaker 2: star he stern is today. He managed to convince us

220
00:09:06,559 --> 00:09:09,000
Speaker 2: that he really was a fighter pilot. You watch it

221
00:09:09,040 --> 00:09:10,840
Speaker 2: and you thought this seems to be for real. I

222
00:09:10,880 --> 00:09:13,920
Speaker 2: get the thing that he's actually flying those planes for me.

223
00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:16,160
Speaker 2: I was blown away by it. I dreamed that one

224
00:09:16,240 --> 00:09:18,360
Speaker 2: day I would have a call sign.

225
00:09:18,559 --> 00:09:21,479
Speaker 1: I still was there, still still.

226
00:09:21,280 --> 00:09:23,400
Speaker 2: Dream one one day now people are going to call

227
00:09:23,400 --> 00:09:25,480
Speaker 2: me Merlin or Maverick. That's what I held out for,

228
00:09:25,840 --> 00:09:29,040
Speaker 2: and people would actually use that. Irony hadn't been born

229
00:09:29,160 --> 00:09:30,439
Speaker 2: in the eighties or nineties.

230
00:09:30,480 --> 00:09:30,680
Speaker 3: Ok.

231
00:09:31,280 --> 00:09:34,480
Speaker 2: Brow and men were going around in the showers calling

232
00:09:34,520 --> 00:09:38,079
Speaker 2: each other viper sundown and no one was giggling.

233
00:09:38,160 --> 00:09:38,760
Speaker 1: I think it was.

234
00:09:38,800 --> 00:09:40,960
Speaker 7: It was just so Everything about it to me was

235
00:09:41,040 --> 00:09:41,600
Speaker 7: so cool.

236
00:09:41,640 --> 00:09:44,240
Speaker 2: I just idolized Tom Cruise and he was so dangerous

237
00:09:44,520 --> 00:09:45,840
Speaker 2: that My favorite scene is when.

238
00:09:45,679 --> 00:09:48,200
Speaker 1: He buzzes the flight to and they bloody told.

239
00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:49,880
Speaker 2: Him not to, but that's sort of a gun. He

240
00:09:49,920 --> 00:09:51,800
Speaker 2: did it because he's wild and dangerous and out there.

241
00:09:51,960 --> 00:09:54,439
Speaker 6: Darons is Ghostrider and requesting a fly byke.

242
00:09:55,760 --> 00:09:58,480
Speaker 1: Negative Ghostrider the pattern He still doesn't know.

243
00:09:58,600 --> 00:10:00,000
Speaker 7: No, ma'am, that's just not a good idea.

244
00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:02,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's good, but it's.

245
00:10:02,640 --> 00:10:03,520
Speaker 5: Time to buy the tower.

246
00:10:03,600 --> 00:10:04,199
Speaker 4: Oh God, the nave.

247
00:10:04,200 --> 00:10:04,960
Speaker 1: He's gonna buzz them.

248
00:10:05,280 --> 00:10:06,280
Speaker 3: Do you tell about mad Man?

249
00:10:06,360 --> 00:10:07,760
Speaker 1: That's why he's Maverick.

250
00:10:11,960 --> 00:10:12,160
Speaker 3: Again.

251
00:10:12,200 --> 00:10:17,440
Speaker 1: Don't worry about dialogue shounds. God, damn damn guy, son

252
00:10:17,440 --> 00:10:17,880
Speaker 1: of a bitch.

253
00:10:18,920 --> 00:10:23,640
Speaker 2: He made him spinnish cup of tea, my father the far.

254
00:10:26,400 --> 00:10:28,800
Speaker 2: But there's also an amazing love story in this movie.

255
00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:30,959
Speaker 2: And I'm not I'm not talking to one between Tom

256
00:10:30,960 --> 00:10:33,400
Speaker 2: Cruise and Keilly McGillis. I'm talking about valkm and Tom Cruise.

257
00:10:34,080 --> 00:10:37,680
Speaker 1: So much going on between those two. Iceman and Math, I.

258
00:10:37,679 --> 00:10:39,240
Speaker 7: Don't like you because you're dangerous.

259
00:10:39,360 --> 00:10:44,760
Speaker 2: That's right, man, I am dangerous.

260
00:10:45,559 --> 00:10:47,320
Speaker 1: I could do this movie at karaoke.

261
00:10:47,480 --> 00:10:47,679
Speaker 2: You know what.

262
00:10:47,800 --> 00:10:50,840
Speaker 1: You know so well, there's no reason for him to do.

263
00:10:51,040 --> 00:10:52,320
Speaker 7: Ice Man.

264
00:10:53,120 --> 00:10:54,800
Speaker 4: It can be my wingman anytime.

265
00:10:54,880 --> 00:10:55,880
Speaker 1: Oh what a whole story.

266
00:10:55,920 --> 00:10:56,559

00:11:41,679 --> 00:11:42,160
Speaker 3: It's a man.

288
00:11:42,200 --> 00:11:43,520
Speaker 1: Title of Life.

289
00:11:44,080 --> 00:11:46,040
Speaker 4: Bianca watched it with me. She called it the worst

290
00:11:46,080 --> 00:11:47,000
Speaker 4: film she's ever seen.

291
00:11:47,400 --> 00:11:51,400
Speaker 2: Oh, it's going to tear the This is going to

292
00:11:51,440 --> 00:11:54,439
Speaker 2: tell the sharp part. You better have some justification for

293
00:11:54,559 --> 00:11:57,079
Speaker 2: what you're about to say. Get ready, then, Jack Posts,

294
00:11:57,080 --> 00:11:59,000
Speaker 2: I don't think like Top Gun.

295
00:11:59,280 --> 00:12:01,679
Speaker 1: The Christian Commaso podcast.

296
00:12:02,120 --> 00:12:04,160
Speaker 2: So let's get the review now of a thirty two

297
00:12:04,200 --> 00:12:07,360
Speaker 2: year old millennial Jack Post, who watched it for the

298
00:12:07,400 --> 00:12:09,040
Speaker 2: first time yesterday.

299
00:12:09,160 --> 00:12:11,920
Speaker 4: I've never seen it before, but I knew that Maverick

300
00:12:12,080 --> 00:12:14,520
Speaker 4: Tom Cruise was very popular. I even got a friend

301
00:12:14,559 --> 00:12:17,160
Speaker 4: whose dog's name is Maverick. He loved Tom Cruise in

302
00:12:17,160 --> 00:12:20,199
Speaker 4: that movie so much. I spent the whole movie waiting

303
00:12:20,200 --> 00:12:23,600
Speaker 4: for Tom Cruise to get likable. He was a jerk

304
00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:24,880
Speaker 4: the whole way through.

305
00:12:25,640 --> 00:12:29,480
Speaker 2: He is in Top Gun, the best of the Best

306
00:12:29,840 --> 00:12:32,199
Speaker 2: Flight Academy. He has to be like that to take

307
00:12:32,240 --> 00:12:33,360
Speaker 2: down those Russian MiGs.

308
00:12:33,440 --> 00:12:37,040
Speaker 4: I actually liked Val Kilmer Ice Man better than I

309
00:12:37,160 --> 00:12:38,400
Speaker 4: like Tom Cruise.

310
00:12:38,280 --> 00:12:39,880
Speaker 3: Scause don't mind that. I don't mind that.

311
00:12:39,920 --> 00:12:42,920
Speaker 2: It's as much Val Kilmner's movie as it is Tom Cruise.

312
00:12:43,120 --> 00:12:45,400
Speaker 2: One of the most over the top performances as a

313
00:12:45,440 --> 00:12:48,400
Speaker 2: movie battie you've ever seen. Val Kilner comes into locker

314
00:12:48,480 --> 00:12:50,320
Speaker 2: right to try and even though they hate each other,

315
00:12:50,400 --> 00:12:53,320
Speaker 2: the two alphas going at it up there in the sky. Okay,

316
00:12:53,400 --> 00:12:56,760
Speaker 2: it's not me and Eddie Maguire. Okay, Eddie's Val Kilner.

317
00:12:56,880 --> 00:12:57,679
Speaker 2: You know I'm mad.

318
00:12:57,720 --> 00:12:58,319
Speaker 1: He's Ice.

319
00:12:59,679 --> 00:13:01,800
Speaker 4: That means I'm good, So I'm gonna die some stage.

320
00:13:02,080 --> 00:13:04,680
Speaker 1: The character in the movie.

321
00:13:05,480 --> 00:13:07,280
Speaker 4: The other Vel Kilmer bit I love that I think

322
00:13:07,400 --> 00:13:09,319
Speaker 4: was meant to be really impressive to the audience is

323
00:13:09,520 --> 00:13:11,880
Speaker 4: the first time we ever meet him. Tom Cruise is

324
00:13:11,880 --> 00:13:13,920
Speaker 4: a couple of seats ahead of him in the classroom.

325
00:13:14,240 --> 00:13:17,760
Speaker 4: He looks around at Vell Kilma and the focus turns

326
00:13:17,800 --> 00:13:20,360
Speaker 4: to Vell's character, and he's doing this thing with his pan,

327
00:13:20,559 --> 00:13:24,480
Speaker 4: like pushing it around his fingers. It's really lame and slow,

328
00:13:24,679 --> 00:13:26,600
Speaker 4: but I think we're meant to think, like, oh my god,

329
00:13:26,679 --> 00:13:28,160
Speaker 4: ultimate dexter, there is this guy.

330

332
00:13:36,640 --> 00:13:38,000
Speaker 2: no one speaking for ten seconds.

333
00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:38,920
Speaker 1: I just need to hear this.

334
00:13:43,800 --> 00:13:46,000

335
00:13:46,040 --> 00:13:47,000
Speaker 4: take my breath away?

00:13:47,080 --> 00:13:49,480

353
00:14:40,360 --> 00:14:45,000
