00:03:37 Brandon
The billionaires.

00:03:52 Brandon
He's like I beat the crowds then. OK, you know.

So yeah, the end of democracy is scheduled for later this week, and TikTok is now dark, apparently.
00:04:10 Andrew

We might own Greenland by then and be in a war with Denmark.

I've taken over other people's land by force.
00:04:17 Andrew
Tight pants all you do.
00:04:18 Brandon
What are you talking about? This, that's insane.
00:04:24 Andrew
Anyway, what?
00:04:26 Andrew
Something about the switch to.
00:04:27
Yeah.
00:04:29 Brandon
They announced the switch to last week.
00:04:32 Brandon
Which bigger screen? Bigger joy cons that are?
00:04:36 Brandon
So you don't have to slide into that little slot.
00:04:40 Brandon
And.
00:04:41 Andrew
So do enjoy that experience.
00:04:43 Brandon
Yeah. Now it makes a magnetic click sound when it clicks in.
00:04:49 Brandon
So.

On 4/20 no, not 4/20.
00:04:55 Brandon
Two April 2nd there's gonna be a big Nintendo.

00:05:10 Brandon
Umm.

00:05:12 Brandon
Showed a new microcurrent that's probably launch with it, so yeah.

00:05:21 Brandon
Now is the second one and it's backwards paddle.
00:05:24 Andrew
Is there a light?
00:05:27 Brandon
That's the two, probably not yet.
00:05:28 Andrew
No, baby, maybe.
00:05:31 Brandon
Maybe a year or two?
00:05:33 Brandon
Yeah.
00:05:34 Andrew
All right, well, here we go.

00:05:51 Brandon
Never once.
00:05:52 Brandon
My name is Cleveland Brown, but I'm not allowed to do that voice anymore.
00:05:57 Brandon
He did the original Doom movie before doing a bunch of crazy.
00:06:04 Brandon
Like weird surrealist movies that.
00:06:08 Brandon
I have a lot of.
00:06:09 Brandon
That would.
00:06:10 Andrew
Be uninterested, I imagine.
00:06:12 Brandon
Most likely.
00:06:15 Brandon
But he also made com.
00:06:18 Brandon
Ments, like the mayor from the mayor, from Portlandia, or the guy from Twin Peaks.
00:06:24 Brandon
The detective in Twin Peaks.
00:06:26
K Twin Peaks.
00:06:27 Andrew

Yeah.
00:08:00 Brandon
Also, cameos with Terry Crews, William H Macy and walk.

H Macy.
00:08:09 Andrew
Just started to rewatch AVR again, Johnny.
00:08:12 Brandon

00:09:28 Andrew
Sure.

So many seasons.
00:09:31 Brandon
Yeah, I feel like I have one more thing.
00:09:36 Brandon
Oh, got some feedback on our on our two special Christmas specials.
00:09:42 Andrew
It sucked.
00:09:45 Brandon
No, just like.
00:09:47 Brandon
Really, we had to.
00:09:48 Brandon
We had to sync it up with the.
00:09:52 Brandon
With the episode like yeah, audio commentary, the fair, we did a podcast.
00:09:58 Brandon
It was.
00:09:58 Brandon
Us going, huh? Yeah.
00:09:58 Andrew
What do you want to just sit?
00:10:00 Andrew
And I mean, no offense. But listen. Tess, talk about a thing you've never seen in real time.
00:10:06 Andrew
I don't.
00:10:06 Brandon
Yeah. Well, I think so.
00:10:08 Brandon

00:10:09 Brandon
Even if you back it, yeah.
00:10:13 Brandon
We were.
00:10:15 Brandon
Cooking.
00:10:15 Andrew
If you get what you get, you don't fit.
00:10:16 Brandon
Normal thing which.
00:10:18 Andrew
That's what say.
00:10:18 Brandon
I mean, you hit on Monday episode drop goal, which is all that matters.
00:10:22 Andrew
Listen, we already knew we were quitting.
00:10:26 Andrew
OK, back off.
00:10:26 Brandon
Shut.
00:10:26 Brandon
Shut up. Shut up.
00:10:28 Brandon

00:10:28
I'm kidding.
00:10:29 Andrew
I.
00:10:29 Andrew
I'm kidding. I'm smiling.
00:10:30 Brandon
Feedback anyway, with his disappointment, I said you you need.
00:10:34 Brandon
Come back to the show.
00:10:36 Brandon
No, but I think Andy will be back.
00:10:40 Brandon
For.
00:10:42 Brandon
A more informed episodes than this episode in the future and yeah.
00:10:43 Andrew
Very yeah.
00:10:49 Brandon
Look forward to that in season 18 of Nope. In these last 18 episodes.
00:10:55 Brandon
Damien 90s, alright.
00:10:59 Brandon
So in, in the spirit of doing things that I want to do before we finish this show, we're going to talk about tsunami. And I know I think I talked about a little bit with the rising with the episode on Dragon Ball Z.
00:11:12 Brandon
But you know, Andrew gets to buckle up and listen to me talk about tsunami.
00:11:17 Brandon
Know what tsunami was?
00:11:18 Brandon
Know what tsunami?
00:11:19 Andrew
I'm familiar with it if I fall.
00:11:21 Andrew
Please call 911.
00:11:23 Andrew
You know where I live now, but it's collapse.
00:11:26 Brandon
That's true.
00:11:27 Brandon
I'm.
00:11:27 Brandon
Yeah, not don't. Don't call your wife. Who's in the other room.
00:11:31 Brandon
Call 911 so tsunami so.
00:11:34 Andrew
For me, like I think I know the the.
00:11:39 Andrew
What was the follow up to Toonami? It was.
00:11:42 Brandon
Adult swimming.
00:11:43 Andrew
Adult Swim? That's what I'm more familiar with.
00:11:45 Andrew
This is kind of the precursor.
00:11:47 Brandon
Yeah, so chandani was.
00:11:52 Brandon
A late night television programming block on or current news late night programming television block on Cartoon Network.
00:12:01 Brandon
It was originally a weekday afternoon block.
00:12:05 Brandon
For the kids getting off school.
00:12:09 Brandon
It started in 1997 and it ran in this format until 2004, when it transitioned to a Saturday evening schedule.
00:12:13 Andrew
Yeah.
00:12:17 Brandon
Which I guess I think was technically post Adult Swim or it's like.
00:12:22 Brandon
You go Adult Swim into 29 on Saturday nights, yeah.
00:12:24 Andrew
Oh, I see what's different.
00:12:28 Brandon
So like the earlier.
00:12:30 Brandon
Was when we were kids, it was the. It's a portmanteau of cartoon and tsunami.
00:12:36 Brandon
And yeah, it's on Cartoon Network.
00:12:40 Brandon
It the block originally aired until its original conclusion in 2008.
00:12:46 Brandon
So 97, 2008, it primarily primarily targeted older children and adolescents aged 7 through 18, which was us at that time. It became known for showcasing action oriented programming, particularly Japanese anime.
00:13:03 Brandon
My pronounce that correctly.
00:13:03 Andrew
See anemone Japanese sea anemone anemone.
00:13:06 Brandon
Yes, the the urchin.
00:13:08 Brandon
It's you put it on the sushi.
00:13:10 Andrew
Anemone anemone.
00:13:12 Brandon
And then me or lemony.
00:13:16 Brandon
It's the first one anemone.
00:13:17 Andrew
And an enemy.
00:13:20 Brandon
Anime.
00:13:22 Brandon
Which team?
00:13:22 Brandon
Widespread popularity with American audiences.
00:13:26 Brandon
In our territory on the episode I talked about that and how it brought Dragon Ball to the Western world or Dragon Ball Z specifically.
00:13:37 Brandon
It was distinguished by its space theme aesthetic, anime, music, videos, drum and bass influence soundtracks. There's a lot of like techno background for all the interstitials, and it's robot host Tom Short for Toonami operations module.
00:13:54 Brandon
Although the first host from 1987 to 1999 was multar from the Space Ghost Coast to coast, it was kind of like a spin off of Space Coast.
00:14:06 Brandon
Originally.
00:14:09 Andrew
It's funny because before this episode we were talking about love line and love line connects later in the episode.
00:14:13 Brandon
5.
00:14:15 Brandon
Yeah.
00:14:16 Andrew
But.
00:14:17 Andrew
Interestingly.
00:14:20 Andrew
Space Ghost appears on the left line radio program more than once, and Adam and drew appear on Space Ghost Coast to coast any more than once as well.
00:14:23
Really.
00:14:28 Andrew
In case you're looking for.
00:14:28 Brandon
That I remember because it was not when they did love lion for MTV like the the visual shows.
00:14:35 Andrew
Yes, but you you'd appear on the radio program as well.
00:14:38 Andrew
Or did appear but.
00:14:39 Brandon
That's awesome. Yeah.
00:14:39 Andrew
Guests guested. Hello, citizen.
00:14:42 Brandon
Space go.
00:14:44 Brandon
Yeah, space goes. That's really cool.
00:14:46 Brandon
Should check out those episodes.
00:14:50 Brandon
Yeah, because Space Coast coast to coast was like a late night talk show on Cartoon Network.
00:14:55
Yep.
00:14:57 Brandon
Back in the day and little tire was one of the characters on it that they put on the ship for Toonami. The block started in March on March 17th, 1977.
00:15:11 Brandon
And with Thundercats.
00:15:13 Brandon
Cartoon Roulette, Voltron, and the Real adventures of Johnny Quest.
00:15:21 Brandon
I I watched Thundercats and Johnny quest.
00:15:24 Brandon
Johnny quest.
00:15:27 Brandon
Was it was like a updated edgy version of reboots of the like 60s Hannibal Cartooning with you know how Stewie.
00:15:35 Andrew
OK.
00:15:40 Brandon
Stewie references in Family Guy Haji.
00:15:42 Andrew
Oh yeah, it's just.
00:15:44 Brandon
At the airport.
00:15:45 Andrew
Like a high like a. No, that's the.
00:15:47 Andrew
That's the class he goes, he goes. SIM, SIM, SIM.
00:15:47 Brandon
No, that's yeah.
00:15:51 Brandon
Yeah.
00:15:51 Andrew
Like maybe do less of that or something.
00:15:53 Brandon
Like that? Yes, that was the.
00:15:58 Brandon
That was Haji and was not Haji.
00:16:01 Brandon
She's at the airport.
00:16:04 Brandon
Studios like the random TSA agents was like.
00:16:07 Andrew
Oh.
00:16:07 Andrew
So you've been selected for random screening, but he's clearly only like Middle Easterner in the line, yeah.
00:16:09
Yeah.
00:16:14 Brandon
So those are those characters, but.
00:16:16 Andrew
Simpsons, Alabama.
00:16:18 Brandon
Yeah, maybe that's that.
00:16:21 Brandon
So yeah, it it took over for power zone. The Superventers block, which was the most recent iteration of it on Cartoon Network, which was a mainstay network since its introduction in 1982.
00:16:36
2.
00:16:36 Brandon
Domains spun off from Space Coast Coast to coast since its first host was multi and it aired on weekday afternoons.
00:16:46 Brandon
The.
00:16:48 Brandon
Block was originally hosted by Space Ghost villain turn producer. Why? I just keep reading the same thing over and over again.
00:16:56 Brandon
Yeah, but then at in July of 1989, we entered the time one era, the first iteration of Tom, as I said, tsunami's operation module.
00:17:09 Brandon
It's there's a new.
00:17:11 Brandon
It was on a ghost ship, a ghost planet, spaceship absolution.
00:17:12 Andrew
Oh.
00:17:16 Brandon
And it.
00:17:17 Brandon
Introduced viewers with.
00:17:20 Brandon
He introduced himself new viewers with this speech.
00:17:23 Brandon
So it's a brand new tsunami, but the mission objective remains the same.
00:17:27 Brandon
My name is Tom.
00:17:28 Brandon
I'm the new multi welcome board, the Ghost Ship Planet, Ghost Planet Spaceship Absolution, Cartoon Network's first and only interstellar.
00:17:37 Brandon
Oh my God.
00:17:38 Brandon
Maybe I should just play the actual clip only interstellar broadcast and exploration vehicle. I'll give you the tour later. From this day forward.
00:17:45 Brandon
Completely responsible for all 2 noni transmissions.
00:17:48 Brandon
I'm taking you guys to the new Millennium.
00:17:50 Brandon
Big changes now.
00:17:52 Brandon
Same show, same attitude, new place to do it, new guy to do.
00:17:56 Brandon
It with. I'm not going to waste any more time.
00:17:58 Brandon
Get back to it later.
00:18:00 Andrew
I guess is.
00:18:01 Andrew
Waste time after wasting so much time and being so super superfluous.
00:18:08 Andrew
Also, like molten was just vaporized or something killed.
00:18:12 Brandon
Yeah, just jettisoned from the absolution.
00:18:17 Brandon
I I think multi was doing ground transmissions and then now Tom was aboard a spaceship later.
00:18:24 Andrew
Remember when people said later?
00:18:26 Brandon
Later, later.
00:18:29 Brandon
Later skater I think was the thing people said.
00:18:33 Brandon
And his face says no.
00:18:36 Andrew
No, they said it.
00:18:37 Andrew
God, we were cringey back then.
00:18:37 Brandon
So yeah. Well, I mean that was the like. We still had aim away later bro.
00:18:44 Brandon
At that point, ladybro.
00:18:48 Brandon
Soon afterwards, the first program of the time era, the Sailor Moon episode cosmetic Caper, premiered.
00:18:55 Brandon
It also introduced Powerpuff Girls on Tinami, becoming the first original Cartoon Network series on the block, and it introduced.
00:19:05
Replay.
00:19:06 Brandon
Also introduced the two 90s Midnight Run which.
00:19:10 Brandon
Might might have predated Adult Swim.
00:19:13 Brandon
It was a 5 hour Saturday night block that ran from starting March 2000 until Tonami moved officially to that time in 2003.
00:19:25 Brandon
This version of Tsunami aired Dragon Ball Z, Sailor Moon Voltron Robotak Mobile Suit Gundam wing, the Big O and Alt lost *.
00:19:35 Brandon
And then Midnight Run even had uncut versions of Gundam Wing and played music videos that, like Clint Eastwood by the.
00:19:44 Brandon
Some songs with Daft Punk, their 2001 album Discovery Blah Blah blah.
00:19:52 Brandon
And then they tried to make a Saturday morning incarnation in the 2000s on The WB tsunami rising Sun.
00:20:03 Brandon
Little, little culturally insensitive at this point.
00:20:07 Andrew
Yeah, there's Michael Crichton book called Rising Sun, by the way.
00:20:12 Brandon
Does it talk about the Pacific theatre?
00:20:14 Andrew
It's about Japan, but in what actually haven't.
00:20:17 Andrew
That book.
00:20:18 Andrew
That's right about it rising.
00:20:22 Brandon
Sun well, because the rising sun, I believe refers to that certain style of Japanese flag from the war.
00:20:32 Andrew
It's.
00:20:34 Andrew
Says.
00:20:37 Andrew
It's about a murder in the Los Angeles headquarters of Nakamoto.
00:20:40 Andrew
A forgotten offensive, a fictional Japanese corporation.
00:20:46 Brandon
I don't know.
00:20:46 Andrew
It it once rated pretty I should probably read that he hasn't read a lot of crime novels.
00:20:52 Brandon
Yeah, I don't know how long that one.
00:20:52 Andrew
Well, there is a movie.
00:20:56 Brandon
Alright. Was it in the 90s?
00:20:58 Andrew
Let's see. The book was published in 92.
00:21:04 Andrew
Two years in 93 and it was Connery and Snipes.
00:21:12 Brandon
You have to watch that.
00:21:13 Andrew
Yeah, actually.
00:21:16 Brandon
You're the man now, dog.
00:21:17 Andrew
Apparently it's a. It's a buddy cop crime thriller.
00:21:21 Andrew
You have a buddy cop crime thriller.
00:21:24 Brandon
Rush hour.
00:21:25 Andrew
See, it's got Harvey Keitel.
00:21:29 Andrew
It was directed by.
00:21:33 Andrew
Someone Philip Kaufman.
00:21:37 Andrew
Yeah. OK. There you go.
00:21:41 Brandon
Put that on the list.
00:21:42 Andrew
Yeah.
00:21:43 Brandon
See if we get a boot or.
00:21:44 Brandon
On that one.
00:21:47 Brandon
So September 2000, Tinami had special interactive events known as Total Immersion events.
00:21:55 Brandon
Which the first one introduced in AI matrix to the ship called Sarah.
00:22:01 Brandon
And.
00:22:03 Brandon
The intruder was in a mini series aired during Tonami both September.
00:22:09 Brandon
2000.
00:22:12 Brandon
And yeah, there's an alien robot attacking the ship, which ultimately devoured Tom anyway.
00:22:19 Brandon
Yeah, but he came back as Tom 2.0 and would occasionally get a refresh throughout the years.
00:22:26 Brandon
One of the things I remember the most from like the early 2000s, late 90s promos.
00:22:33 Brandon
They had the voice of Optimus Prime, Peter Colon, do all the.
00:22:39 Brandon
All the like.
00:22:40 Brandon
Voice overs.
00:22:41 Brandon
So like the Gundam wing one which I annoyed the crap out of you was a lot as a kid.
00:22:49 Brandon
But it's just like in the far in the far future, the space has been colonized by human being.
00:22:59 Brandon
Yeah, but I did.
00:23:01 Brandon
I did realize as as a kid that that was the most prime, I just knew.
00:23:07 Brandon
Damn, that sounded good.
00:23:10 Brandon
Yeah, some other two bits build this program on tsunami. Was the Fleisher Superman cartoons which were made in the early 90s.
00:23:19 Brandon
There's also super friends where? Sorry, I forgot to go through some of the programming from 19 from the 90s.
00:23:26 Brandon
97,000 Thundercats Voltron real vengeance, Johnny Quest, as well as cartoon roulette, which comprised of Space Ghost, Birdman, and the Galaxy trio. The Herculoids might or Shazam.
00:23:38 Brandon
Sorry, Shazam, team Forest impossible in 1940s.
00:23:43 Brandon
Fleischer, Superman. Cartoons 98.
00:23:45 Brandon
Got.
00:23:45 Brandon
We got Beast Wars, Transformers, Sailor Moon, *** **** dub, as they say.
00:23:53 Brandon
Dragon Ball Z and super friends.
00:23:55 Brandon
99 you got.
00:23:57 Brandon
Which great series I watched that in the early 90s running warriors and the power Puff girls and then.
00:24:04 Andrew
None.
00:24:06 Brandon
I'm just going to go through my era.
00:24:08 Brandon
There's also rules of Gundam Wing. In 2000 Batman animated series Tenchi Muyo.
00:24:14 Brandon
Superman unit series Dragon Ball, Outlaw star card, captain spat and beyond for some reason.
00:24:24 Brandon
Mobile Suit Gundam the 8th miss.
00:24:25 Brandon
Which is pretty choice.
00:24:27 Brandon
And then I stopped watching around.
00:24:29 Andrew
Why do I not like anything on?
00:24:31 Andrew
Like, why do I not like any shows? That's weird.
00:24:33 Andrew
I just wasn't into it.
00:24:35 Brandon
Well, I mean, you were really the Japanese stuff, right? True.
00:24:40 Brandon
And you had an older brother, so probably he monopolized.
00:24:43 Brandon
Television more.
00:24:43 Andrew
Yeah. I I I think I just went outside most of the time.
00:24:46 Andrew
Just wasn't like ATV kid.
00:24:47 Brandon
True.
00:24:48
You.
00:24:49 Andrew
Want some?
00:24:52 Brandon
I I was easily influenced by the melodrama.
00:24:58 Brandon
Of giant robots transforming and attacking.
00:25:01 Brandon
Probably because I I liked the Power Rangers more.
00:25:07 Brandon
But yeah, that was that was my era of tsunami.
00:25:11 Andrew
OK.
00:25:11 Andrew
Well, I I couldn't even react to it because I literally my what I know is that there was a thing called tsunami and it was on Cartoon Network. And that is the extent of my knowledge.
00:25:22 Brandon
That's the more you know.
00:25:24 Andrew
Well, I mean, I'm just being honest here.
00:25:26 Andrew
What you gotta say?
00:25:26 Brandon
Yeah, yeah.
00:25:29 Brandon
Yeah. I I just, I needed.
00:25:32 Brandon
I needed to do it today I.
00:25:34 Brandon
You knew nothing about it other than I used to quote that one wing commercial a lot to the point of annoying you to.
00:25:41 Andrew
I knew some of the shows you mentioned.
00:25:43 Andrew
Knew of them. So that's something.
00:25:44 Brandon
There, yeah.
00:25:48 Brandon
And and we got we got the Haji reference from Family Guy.
00:25:55 Brandon
Doesn't even sound good. Saying the name anymore.
00:25:57 Andrew
Yeah, I've cut back on that.
00:26:01 Andrew
So it's like it's just like you have to take off your lovely hat.
00:26:01 Brandon
Yeah.
00:26:09 Andrew
What an irreverent show.
00:26:14 Brandon
Yeah. So current era tsunami. So tsunami left, came back and current era tsunami is every Saturday night from 12:00 AM to 3:30 AM with a bunch of modern Japanese anime dubs and Naruto.
00:26:31 Andrew
Sorry, texting.
00:26:34 Brandon
No worries and with that.
00:26:37 Brandon
This is where we're doing the commercials. So maybe in the future when we're not paying for hosting, this is where.
00:26:43 Brandon
Hear it?
00:26:44 Andrew
And now back to the show.
00:26:44 Brandon
No.
00:26:48 Brandon
All right.
00:26:50 Brandon
So I figured Todd or David Lynch.
00:26:53 Brandon
Who was a man of great surrealist?
00:26:59 Brandon
Vision.
00:27:01 Brandon
He passed away.
00:27:04 Brandon
Earlier this week.
00:27:08 Andrew
Yeah, I I heard 2 two days ago, yesterday, 2 days ago.
00:27:08 Brandon
Thursday, Thursday.
00:27:11 Andrew
Don't.
00:27:11 Andrew
I I saw the stuff on Facebook face tube tick look.
00:27:12 Brandon
Yeah.
00:27:16 Brandon
Facebook.
00:27:19 Brandon
I think I've read that Kyle McLaughlin had a really good.
00:27:23
Are you?
00:27:26 Brandon
Note of his passing.
00:27:31 Brandon
And yeah.
00:27:33 Brandon
Anyway.
00:27:35 Brandon
What's? What's honor with a terrible grocery place?
00:27:37 Andrew
In his honor was too terrible.
00:27:39 Andrew
BuzzFeed quiz.
00:27:42 Brandon
There are four questions.
00:27:44 Brandon
It's a community contributor.
00:27:45 Brandon
It's made in 2016, you know.
00:27:47 Andrew
Let's do this go.
00:27:48 Brandon
It's which David Lynch film are.
00:27:51 Brandon
And you can find this in the notes for the episode.
00:27:54 Brandon
Choose a cinema classic with a picture of Eraserhead and that's.
00:28:02 Brandon
Tune to meadows.
00:28:07 Brandon
Right.
00:28:07 Andrew
No, that's the guy from SNL.
00:28:11 Andrew
Anyway, So what are the choices?
00:28:11 Brandon
Lisa.
00:28:15 Brandon
I guess it's Jack Daniels. I always thought that was the guy from Shawshank.
00:28:20 Brandon
The choices are Sunset Blvd. the Godfather, something Andrew will never watch on principle for some reason.
00:28:29 Brandon
8 1/2 monsignor's helots.
00:28:35 Brandon
Holiday rear window Empire Strikes Back the Wizard of Oz, A Clockwork Orange or Paris, TX.
00:28:41 Andrew
How many of these movies do you think I've seen?
00:28:44 Brandon
You seen one?
00:28:44
2.
00:28:46 Brandon
It was Vivas.
00:28:47 Andrew
Sorry, I'm gonna go with ravazz.
00:28:51 Brandon
OK. Because you know.
00:28:53 Brandon
Gonna.
00:28:54 Brandon
Empire Strikes Back is actually my favorite movie, so.
00:28:58 Andrew
OK, the.
00:28:59 Brandon
Godfather's great, though. Have you seen the Family Guy clip of them talking about the Godfather?
00:29:02 Andrew
I'm not sure I'll have to look into that.
00:29:05 Brandon
OK, we can send that to you after the episode is there, are you?
00:29:08 Andrew
Next one pick a Twin Peaks character, agent Cooper, Laura Palmer, Audrey Horne, Peter Martel, log Lady Sarah Plummer. Shelly Johnson. Big Ed Hurley.
00:29:21 Andrew
Or the man from another place.
00:29:24 Brandon
It makes you just wonder what?
00:29:26 Brandon
What was the show?
00:29:29 Andrew
That's weird.
00:29:30 Brandon
So I get first choice, which means I can.
00:29:35 Brandon
Choose Agent Cooper and Screw you over.
00:29:36 Andrew
So we go with the G man.
00:29:39 Andrew
I like log lady because it just seems funny.
00:29:42 Brandon
Very surreal.
00:29:44 Brandon
On a scale of 1 to 9, how?
00:29:47 Brandon
Are you?
00:29:48 Brandon
12345678 or 9 I.
00:29:56 Andrew
Don't feel very surreal.
00:29:57 Andrew
Obviously 3.
00:29:58 Brandon
Yeah.
00:30:02 Brandon
OK, from a scale of one to 93OK.
00:30:08 Brandon
Five, I guess would be average cereal cereal.
00:30:10 Andrew
Sorelyest.
00:30:13 Brandon
I I think I can push that by one or two. I'll go.
00:30:17 Brandon
Go I'll.
00:30:17 Brandon
Six, OK, I'll go 6.
00:30:20 Andrew
What David Lynch quote speaks to you.
00:30:24
Yeah.
00:30:24 Andrew
Even bad coffee is better than no coffee at all.
00:30:27 Andrew
Negativity is the enemy of creativity.
00:30:30 Andrew
Never turn down a good idea.
00:30:32 Andrew
But never take a bad idea.
00:30:34 Andrew
My cow is not pretty, but it is pretty to me.
00:30:37 Andrew
Life is very, very complicated, and so film should be allowed to be too.
00:30:41 Andrew
Absurdity is what I most.
00:30:43 Andrew
Absurdity is what I like most in life.
00:30:46 Andrew
I believe in creative control, no matter what anyone makes.
00:30:49 Andrew
Should have control over it.
00:30:51 Andrew
I don't think that people accept the fact that life doesn't make sense.
00:30:55 Andrew
Think it makes people terribly uncomfortable.
00:30:58 Andrew
This whole world is wild at heart.
00:31:00 Andrew
Weird on top.
00:31:03 Brandon
That's what they said.
00:31:05 Brandon
Oh, it's my choice.
00:31:08 Brandon
You know, when you were reading all those off, the one that spoke to me most was, I believe in creative control.
00:31:14 Brandon
Matter what anyone makes, they should have control over it.
00:31:17 Andrew
And I believe that even bad copies better than no coffee at all.
00:31:20 Brandon
You get Twin Peaks, aren't you?
00:31:23 Andrew
And drum roll please, I got.
00:31:28 Andrew
The elephant.
00:31:28 Andrew
I am not an animal.
00:31:29 Andrew
Am a human being.
00:31:31 Andrew
Am a man.
00:31:35 Brandon
I got dune.
00:31:37 Brandon
I don't know what that says about me, but.
00:31:39 Brandon
Yeah.
00:31:42 Brandon
Yeah.
00:31:45 Brandon
