SPEAKER_02Hello, thank you for having me. We're back my opinions on the geopolitical climate. Oh.
SPEAKER_04What's your biggest opinion about the geopolitical climate right now?
SPEAKER_02It's not geo enough.
SPEAKER_04You think it needs to be more political? I want more geo. Less political, more geo.
SPEAKER_02I want a higher um Italian American context in there. I want more Geo's, more Giovanni's, more of this when they're talking to each other in Congress.
SPEAKER_04Why do you think they do that? Do we ever get to the bottom of that?
SPEAKER_02I know, but do they? Why specifically this? Well, what's our thing?
SPEAKER_04Who's us, by the way? Who are we?
SPEAKER_02Americans.
SPEAKER_04Americans?
SPEAKER_02Yeah, you. I'm talking about you. Your people.
SPEAKER_03What's our thing? What who are my people? My people are not your people. The Danes. If that's what you're referring to.
SPEAKER_02My people are the people at this table. Who are you talking about? You're telling me that your people aren't these people?
SPEAKER_03No, these are not my people. I'll tell you that.
SPEAKER_02Really? There's a person you helped make at this scene.
SPEAKER_04Well, yes. That's not your person.
SPEAKER_02Well, she's not remember that.

SPEAKER_04Do not speak to my unborn child. Thank you.
SPEAKER_05Do not talk to my unborn children.
SPEAKER_02Anyway.
SPEAKER_04Anyways. More geos. More geos in the geopolitical climate. I was just looking at the news. Nothing really did. R.A.P. Bonnie Tyler. Holding up a little bit.
SPEAKER_01Murder trial. There's a local murder? Yeah, they wrap that up. Who murdered what?
SPEAKER_04A couple years ago, um, a guy murdered his wife in Chula Vista. Oh.
SPEAKER_01Remember, she went missing?
SPEAKER_04She was like, there was a whole first she went missing. Yeah. And then it was like.
SPEAKER_01And he reported her missing, and her family was like, where she turns out he got her. A classic. It'll be on dateline. It's a it's a pretty dateline story. It's a very dateline story.
SPEAKER_04Yeah.
SPEAKER_02Did you hear that?
SPEAKER_01She was having an affair, all the stuff came out. Not worthy of being murdered over.
SPEAKER_04He had a good, it wasn't the affair guy, because he had a good alibi.
SPEAKER_01Oh, his ex-wife was in the hospital having a baby.
SPEAKER_04Their baby. And he was there in attendance. So his his alibi was airtight. Yeah, yeah.
SPEAKER_02Dateline. Great story. I know. That's gonna be a great um hallmark mystery movie one day.
SPEAKER_03What a great story was Andy's takeaway from that.
SPEAKER_01Hallmark does the murder. I think it's more Lifetime.
SPEAKER_02Oh, maybe it is Lifetime. Like Lifetime is the more spooky. Spooky spooky slices. Listen, I those those a great movie comes from there. Like it has someone lives it out at some point. It has to be. And I hate that I hate that that woman was murdered. But I love a good story.
SPEAKER_01I love a good murder story.
SPEAKER_04Hey, thank you for that disclaimer. By the way, we want to make it clear murder against murder.
SPEAKER_02If you're gonna murder, make it dramatic.
SPEAKER_04Why are we so fascinated with murder mysteries? I know, we do.
SPEAKER_02And this is the thing I hate to admit.
SPEAKER_04The big we. Of course, not us, not my people.
SPEAKER_02Actually, I don't know if this would be true for everyone at the table. Yeah, sure. But you put me in like medieval times, I'm going to the public hanging.
SPEAKER_03Oh my god.
SPEAKER_02Well, yeah. That's your movie. That's the TV show. And then they would say what they did, they would be like, that was date library.
SPEAKER_04They didn't want to go see that.
SPEAKER_02Yes, they did. It was just happening.
SPEAKER_04Everyone in town. You want to know what's happening.
SPEAKER_02That was the social gush. It said you were going to the hanging, right? When did they start playing to do that?
SPEAKER_04When was the first sport?
SPEAKER_01Oh, um, like the games in Luckily Irish.
SPEAKER_04Okay, I was gonna say the Olympics, but um I was just thinking about the Coliseum where they were their games where put people in with alliance.
SPEAKER_02There are games where watch people die.
SPEAKER_04When did they develop game where people didn't die? Yeah.
SPEAKER_02The Highland games. They probably had that around those times. They just realized it was a little more fun to watch someone die. Higher stakes.
SPEAKER_04Huh.
SPEAKER_02And I'm not saying that's right.
SPEAKER_04I was gonna say you keep throwing around more fun quite quite freely.
SPEAKER_02More fun when they they had nothing to watch on TV. Now we watch peop people get fake murdered on TV. All the time. All and let's talk about that, okay? Just because we know in the back of our mind, or like let's talk about violent video games.
SPEAKER_03She's speedrunning podcast topics. Let's I'm gonna I'm gonna put it.
SPEAKER_02Those are fake murders that you're watching over and over again. You play Fortnite all the time, and you fake murder, you know, the little pick dancing pickle guy.
SPEAKER_04Okay. So does that make me not I'm basically on the same level.
SPEAKER_02You'd watch the public hanging.
SPEAKER_04Let's let's put a pause on this conversation because I feel like we're going down a road. Uh-oh.
SPEAKER_05You put a pause on your conversation. A road to murder.
SPEAKER_04Yeah, there's a lot of murder talk going on right now. I want to talk about um something else that's coming up. The Odyssey. Are you guys excited for this movie as much as I am? Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey. I'm gonna be seeing it.
SPEAKER_02The Odyssey.
SPEAKER_04I'll be seeing it too.
SPEAKER_02How long is it gonna be? Uh it's pretty long.
SPEAKER_04It's like a three-hour movie for sure. Um big book.
SPEAKER_01Never read it.
SPEAKER_04Never read the Odyssey.
SPEAKER_01No. I think I read an abridged version. There's already been a movie, right?
SPEAKER_04It's not that entertaining.
SPEAKER_01I think we watched the movie in English class.
SPEAKER_04Well, there's a lot of stuff that's like based off of it. Like uh, well, no, Jason and the Argonauts is another book. I don't know what that is. Doesn't matter. It's all Greek to me.
SPEAKER_05Doesn't matter.
SPEAKER_04But Christopher Nolan's uh doing the press junket. Tom Holland's been out there doing the press junket.
SPEAKER_02Is he the main guy? Yeah.
SPEAKER_04Tom Holland is um Odysseus' son. That's like waiting for him. Uh Matt Damon.
SPEAKER_02Matt Damon.
SPEAKER_04Matt Damon.
SPEAKER_02Matt Damon. And I know Zendaya's Athena, is she not?
SPEAKER_04Zendaya's Athena.
SPEAKER_02Oh, she is? Yeah.
SPEAKER_04Yeah. Yeah.
SPEAKER_02Oh.
SPEAKER_04We've got um. She's gonna have her island. Somebody made a post that was like Anne Hathaway is the mom and Tom Holland are only 13 years apart, but they're playing mother and son. But then somebody said that at the time that would have been like more than a lot of things. Yeah, that's very accurate.
SPEAKER_01But Tom Holland's also playing probably a 14-year-old, right?
SPEAKER_04No, he's like an adult son.
SPEAKER_01Okay, then he's 15.
SPEAKER_02Yeah, but back then it would have I don't think he's he's 30 now.
SPEAKER_04Sure. How old is Tom Holland?
SPEAKER_02He's 30.
SPEAKER_01He's like your age.
SPEAKER_03He's old.
SPEAKER_01No, he's like 30, 30, 31, 32. He's probably playing a 16-year-old boy in a movie. Tom Holland?
SPEAKER_04Tom Holland.
SPEAKER_05He's 30 years old.
SPEAKER_04I think his son his son's supposed to be a grown-up man.
SPEAKER_02Yeah, but like grown-up men then was like 60. Yeah, 16. I don't know. Because people, old person was 15 years old. I do know that they died.
SPEAKER_04Odysseus's journey was supposed to be like 20 years or something. Like there was like the war was 20 years, and then his journey home was like 20 years.
SPEAKER_01Eight or nine? Yeah, right?
SPEAKER_04Exactly.
unknownYeah.
SPEAKER_01Okay, so Tom Holland might be in his 20s. Sure. Maybe. Yes. I don't know. I'm looking forward to this movie. It's a Tom Holland summer.
SPEAKER_04Go ahead. Spider-Man. Spider-Man is also coming out. Spider-Man? Yeah.
SPEAKER_06Yeah. This is the one when they all forgot about him.
SPEAKER_04Like a soft reboot, kind of.
SPEAKER_01But it's also the whole story is like his DNA is changing.
SPEAKER_04Okay.
SPEAKER_05Okay.
SPEAKER_02So he's no longer there.
SPEAKER_01So then he goes to the Hulk for help.
SPEAKER_04Oh. Getting into like some actual Spider-Man lore.
SPEAKER_01Yeah. Oh.
SPEAKER_05I need to catch up on my Spider-Man movies.
SPEAKER_01I don't know any Spider-Man lore.
SPEAKER_04I just know the movies. There was a time when I was in like middle school where they started um the San like the Union Tribune or a San Diego paper was like reissuing Spider-Man comics. So like me and my brother really got into actually reading the comic books for a while there. Um really wacky stuff. There's a there's a comic book where Spider-Man fights the Sandman and he defeats him with a big vacuum. He like literally just is like, here's my giant vacuum, sucks him up.
SPEAKER_01Oh well in the comics he is like a teenage boy, right?
SPEAKER_04It's like not to be taken seriously at all, is the point.
SPEAKER_02It was more like Scooby-Doo S.
SPEAKER_04Way more Scooby-Doo. Exactly.
SPEAKER_02Let's catch him with a big net.
SPEAKER_04Let's like catch him with a big net.
SPEAKER_02There's not as much like blasting and guns and whatnot.
SPEAKER_04Yeah, now they're just blasting guns. Hey, you know what? And with that, all those fake Fortnite kills that I'm getting.
SPEAKER_02You're blasting guns. I'm just saying.
SPEAKER_04Right.
SPEAKER_02A little confetti.
SPEAKER_04You brought it back.
SPEAKER_02Yeah, well, you brought it back.
SPEAKER_03So they're just gonna be. Annie was beefing with me earlier. So she's trying to get back to my my good graces.
SPEAKER_04Yeah.
SPEAKER_01Oh well, whatever. Good graces.
SPEAKER_04This IMAX, or sorry, this Odyssey is a big deal because they're playing it in 70mm IMAX. Um, I was really interested in seeing it in IMAX. Guess how much a ticket is?
SPEAKER_02$48?
SPEAKER_04See, I don't really care about that stuff. Close. $35 for IMAX. So what's the whole thing? You won't be able to see it in a in an AMC theater. You may be Dolby Premiere, but IMAX is uh There's only like however many copies.
SPEAKER_05Well there might be that's not true. I've seen it.
SPEAKER_04There's like bigger format. No, there's like IMAX and then there's like IMAX 70 minutes.
SPEAKER_01I did see I saw a video comparing the regular to IMAX and it's literally the regular is like a sliver, and then IMAX is both sides. Like it literally cuts off part of the movie.
SPEAKER_04Right.
SPEAKER_01Of what you're looking at. Why would they do that?
SPEAKER_02Why not just show the whole movie? What's the point?
SPEAKER_04Yeah, it's like theaters aren't equipped to show it in its like size.
SPEAKER_01So like you're watching a scene of the boat on the open water, and all you're seeing is the boat, but then on IMAX you're actually seeing the sky and the water.
SPEAKER_02Okay, then here's my question when I watch it at my house eventually. Yeah.
SPEAKER_06Um, what version am I seeing?
SPEAKER_04You know when at the beginning of a movie where it says this movie's been modified to format to your screen? That's that version. This was okay, so this is kind of a funny thing that happened just based on technology. Is like they're making these movies and then they crop it so that it can be for a movie, right?
SPEAKER_06Yeah.
SPEAKER_04When movies started going on TV, the aspect ratio is different. And so they'd play a movie like not formatted, and you'd see like a bars, like a boom mic. Or like stuff that you weren't supposed to see in the movie that was like cropped out because they're like, oh, you won't see it, it's cropped out. Like a bunch of TV movies end up. Yeah. I'm sure they just added the black bars. You know, compiled list of it.
SPEAKER_02Yeah.
SPEAKER_04It's funny.
SPEAKER_01Interesting. I don't know.
SPEAKER_04I'm really looking forward to it. Uh that stuff kind of I nerd out on.
SPEAKER_01I started watching the new legally blonde spinoff.
SPEAKER_02Oh how was that? I don't know how I actually like it. Really? She got Reese's like cadence down pretty well.
SPEAKER_01It's uncanny. Yeah. She the second her she loo she like turns to the side and you see her profile, you're like, that's Reese Withersman. It is kind of freaking. Yes, it's just a random. They did they did open um her missions.
SPEAKER_02I'm surprised her daughter didn't want to do it.
SPEAKER_01This girl looks more like her, like she should be her daughter. I don't know.
SPEAKER_02Her daughter looks just like her in my mind.
SPEAKER_01It's crazy. The show is really funny though, because the whole premise is her, like her dad is a plastic surgeon and he did a botched nose job on someone. So it's like they have to move from LA to like Seattle, right? Yeah, and like take a break and like kind of escape and like let it die down, all the press. So they go to Seattle. They make Seattle, like I like you don't even you want you don't want to visit Seattle ever.
SPEAKER_04I did watch some of it with Kara. It's pretty funny enough.
SPEAKER_01She gets to the high school and it's like in the 90s, it's in like 95, and everyone's just in plaid and black and grunge and all this stuff.
SPEAKER_04That's kind of the whole beat, is like she's like pink, and everyone else is like dark colors.
SPEAKER_01But then it's like this last episode I watched, they're like, we don't have sports here. Like, we don't care about that kind of stuff. We don't have a cheer team. They don't want to cheer for anyone else. Feminism. Like, it's all like peach. Really boils it down, yeah. Yeah. But it's fun. I like it.
SPEAKER_04Gotta rehash it.
SPEAKER_01A good self. But it's fun. I like it. Well, I mean, her being in the school is the funny part.
SPEAKER_04Yeah. Got that Moana remake coming out. No. Live action Moana? What? You don't want to watch Moana again?
SPEAKER_02No, I don't want to watch Moana for the four thousandth times. I'll probably see as Maui.
SPEAKER_04That's what's crazy, is I saw a trailer for it. It's literally like the rock shot. The voice of the crab, the same. It's like basically the movie again. Just like a filter thrown over it.
SPEAKER_01There's a new song.
SPEAKER_04Is there?
SPEAKER_01Moana is singing to the ocean, and the voice of the ocean is Ali E. Cravajo.
SPEAKER_04Okay.
SPEAKER_01And they do a duet together.
SPEAKER_04Like you guys remember when that movie came out, right? Like Peak. A couple weeks ago. Oh. Moana, the first one. Oh, yeah, the first one.
SPEAKER_05I feel like I'm taking crazy pills. I think it's such a dangerous precedent of like how quickly can we remake it and make more money on the same exact story. And I'm like, it's not even like nostalgia. Because you're making Frozen 4 right now. It's literally in production.
SPEAKER_01Because they got to film it in Hawaii and have a vacation. What's the name of that?
SPEAKER_04Frozen 4. Frozen. Is there a did we skip over Frozen 3? Was there a Frozen 3? Yeah, there's Frozen 3. Is it Frozen 3? I'm pretty sure, yes. No, there's only two. No, there's Frozen 3. I think this is the first one. There's only two.
SPEAKER_01And then there's Olaf's like Christmas Adventure or whatever, and I don't know.
SPEAKER_04Frozen 2013.
SPEAKER_01Isn't that crazy?
SPEAKER_04Moana 2016.
SPEAKER_02Yeah. That's what I'm saying. I would have expected a frozen live action free.
SPEAKER_05Frozen three is coming out in 2027. Okay.
SPEAKER_04Alright. So we got one more year till Fresen.
SPEAKER_05And she's writing an ice force. And then Frozen. Which is cool.
SPEAKER_04What's the reason? I don't know.
SPEAKER_02An ice force? Ice horse.
SPEAKER_04It looks like some sort of snow horse.
SPEAKER_02Oh, yeah, that one's in the second ice horse.
SPEAKER_05Oh.
SPEAKER_04Frozen 3 melted. I mean, where could it possibly go? You know?
SPEAKER_01Well, the second one is all about finding that she's gay. Where her powers came from.
SPEAKER_04Was the first one that Elsa's gay or is the second one that Elsa's gay?
SPEAKER_01The whole time she's gay.
SPEAKER_04Right?
SPEAKER_01She never has a love interest. That doesn't mean she's gay.
SPEAKER_05I mean she probably is. No comment.
SPEAKER_03No comment, by the way.
SPEAKER_02I'm just saying doesn't mean that.
SPEAKER_03No, I know that.
SPEAKER_02I'm just saying I don't think Agreed.
SPEAKER_04Of course not. But what I'm saying is there's an there's a thing going on there that the town doesn't the town doesn't appreciate her. They think she's different and weird. We need a kid. And they cast her out. Her nice powers are the fact that she's a lesbian.
SPEAKER_02Yes. Yes.
SPEAKER_01Where it came from.
SPEAKER_05Go ahead, John.
SPEAKER_02And they're trying to find out why she's gonna be able to do it.
SPEAKER_05Not every 20 28-year-old that's alone. Yeah. It doesn't mean that you're gay. It doesn't. Not at all.
SPEAKER_04And I've always said that.
SPEAKER_05Right? Because Elsa's like 20-something. Especially if you want to go on a trip by yourself. A hundred percent. I would agree with that.
SPEAKER_04By the way, and I've always said this about that. Thank you. But what I'm saying is there's more to Elsa than not having love interest. Obviously. I agree. I agree. Come on. She's very mysterious. You know. She has powers, and then she does end up, yeah, she finds a nice one.
SPEAKER_05Industry is afraid of a strong woman lead. And she has to be a good one.
SPEAKER_04And Olaf is asexual. What? Or bisexual.
SPEAKER_06I don't know.
SPEAKER_02And she finds a nice horse. No, an ice horse. There's a difference. A nice ice horse.
SPEAKER_05Is it a snow horse or is it an ice horse?
SPEAKER_04I think it's a sleet horse. Sleet. A flurry.
SPEAKER_01The second movie is she like finds her magical powers in this like iceberg type thing. She goes into the unknown.
SPEAKER_04She goes into the unknown. She's finding where they came from. Never taught Tuzen?
SPEAKER_01It's a unknown like a um a patronum.
SPEAKER_04Yes. The horse is like a Harry Potter.
SPEAKER_05Now I understand. I need to Google Patrozin really quick. What is that again? Remind me? I mean, I know. They made Moana. Okay, wait, what did Moana too?
SPEAKER_01And then they did a live action.
SPEAKER_02Spirit! Live action spirit! Where is it at? As good as Spirit. It may be even a little bit better. Go ahead. Country Bear. Okay. I've never seen it.
SPEAKER_03Hold on a second.
SPEAKER_02Country Bears!
SPEAKER_04That has nothing to do with spirit. What are you talking about?
SPEAKER_05Practical effects. What happened to that?
SPEAKER_04I agree with that.
SPEAKER_05I'm for sure. Multiple times. Never happened a practical effects. I'll watch it again tonight.
SPEAKER_01We'll talk about another one of the practical effects. That's a tause.
SPEAKER_04Listen, we could harp on these movies all night long, but if we don't stop seeing them, they'll never stop making them. That's not true. Oh, I never saw Frozen 2.
SPEAKER_00We're not children. Okay, I like Frozen 2.
SPEAKER_04I'm not seeing Moana live action on principle.
SPEAKER_02That's the same reason I'm not going to the Mormon Temple.
SPEAKER_04Oh.
SPEAKER_05That's crazy.
SPEAKER_02No, we've talked we've talked about that. No, we didn't go.
SPEAKER_04You think we would have gone and not told you about it? Come on.
SPEAKER_02Well, I thought maybe you guys.
SPEAKER_01You think it's worth seeing? I saw it on the news. Yeah.
SPEAKER_04They posted a lot of videos and photos of it. Did you see?
SPEAKER_01I've also seen TikToks that people snuck their phones in and took photos.
SPEAKER_04Hilarious, by the way. Hilarious TikToks.
SPEAKER_05Aren't they going to wait to do all the cool stuff when the general public?
SPEAKER_02Yeah, all the like, you know, culty things.
SPEAKER_04I did see their baptismal looked pretty culty. Oh yeah. Big cows or something.
SPEAKER_01Why is that culty?
SPEAKER_04You didn't see it. Yeah, it's just a bunch of animals. Yeah, it looks cultural.
SPEAKER_01Holding up a baptismal.
SPEAKER_04Exactly.
SPEAKER_01But the animals have nothing to do with the cult. It's just kind of silly. If they have nothing to do with it, why are they there? It's not a styleistic. Is it any baptismal culty?
SPEAKER_04Yes. But that's not the point. This one looks particularly culty.
SPEAKER_05Sure.
SPEAKER_02Or a hot tub.
SPEAKER_05Hot tub's cool.
SPEAKER_04Did you get baptized in a hot tub?
SPEAKER_02But it was- I mean it was built into the church, but yeah, it was a hot tub.
SPEAKER_05You literally could baptized in a hot tub.
SPEAKER_04It's cows. It's all cows.
SPEAKER_02Oh, it's a hot tub. Yeah. And a white robe. That was the most bad. Actually, it's a white robe.
SPEAKER_04That looks not cruelty to you. That looks like that looks innocent.
SPEAKER_02And everyone encircles you as you get ducked. That's that's pretty cool. That's cruelty.
SPEAKER_04It's there's definitely lore there.
SPEAKER_01Okay, any baptism is a culty.
SPEAKER_04Baptism is a couple of things.
SPEAKER_01Exactly. The baby's getting baptized. That's cult. Everyone's standing around a circle. Everybody at a big church. Is there any deciding to get dunked in a little pool in the middle of a circle? Everyone staring at you. It's culty.
SPEAKER_04I think it is it's punching down a little bit, but I think you're right. Latter-day State Temple baptisms known as proxy baptisms.
SPEAKER_02Oh, because they baptize the dead. Yeah.
SPEAKER_04Allow members to be baptized on behalf of deceased ancestries who never received. Come on.
SPEAKER_02You know, you know somebody baptized the house.
SPEAKER_05They're juicing the numbers. They're juicing the numbers.
SPEAKER_04Somebody in there baptized Hitler and you know it. Well, let's go ahead and juice the numbers. That was always an option. Yeah. Yeah. Maybe I'm Mormon now.
SPEAKER_01You come up with a list and you're like, all these people I know who have died, I know they would have been wanted to be Mormon.
SPEAKER_04It's a similar thing to when you pray for people in purgatory. It's like the same type of beat. It's like, oh well.
SPEAKER_05Who prays people in purgatory?
SPEAKER_01You love the purgatory. Yeah, when someone dies, they get sent to purgatory. Unless someone prays for them.
SPEAKER_05And that's not culty in your that's the same thing. That's no, she's saying that's culty.
SPEAKER_04I'm saying that's the same same thing.
SPEAKER_05I'm just kind of getting I'm trying to get a baseline on religion. Yeah.
SPEAKER_04I just I just think it's a little reductive. Like, I don't know. Like yes, it's culty, sure.
SPEAKER_05If you never made a decision yourself when you're alive, how could and then why would you then? Why would you just live your life in debauchery and then hope that your child brings up?
SPEAKER_01And then it's the you could pray for the loophole. Pray for everyone who's died in the last ten minutes who was stuck in perfect.
SPEAKER_04And that's not even like a like ha ha funny thing. Like they do that. It's like pray for the lost souls.
SPEAKER_02Like that's I found out recently there's a difference between sisters and nuns.
SPEAKER_04They're juicing the numbers.
SPEAKER_02I didn't know that. I was watching a clip from a nun podcast. And they said something. And they said, Yeah, it's funny, people always ask me if I'm a nun. They're like, But you're not a nun, you're a sister. And she goes, Yeah, but you Know, like the general public doesn't know the difference. Well, that basically nuns the whole thing is that they like are constantly in prayer.
SPEAKER_05Yeah.
SPEAKER_02And like the sisters are out in the community helping. But like nuns are like their whole job is like I'm gonna pray for the rest of my life. Yeah, none of them.
SPEAKER_04And that is thee to a nunnery. While often used interchangeably, nuns take a solemn vow and live a cloistered contemplative life in a monastery. They never leave the monastery. Sisters take simple vows and live an active apostolic apostolic. Apostolic life. Those are the ones you see traveling. Working out in the community as teachers, nurses, social workers.
SPEAKER_02I could be a sister, I could never be a nun. You tell me I can't leave?
SPEAKER_04Okay, so why would you? I disagree. I think you could be a nun. I don't think you'd be a good sister.
SPEAKER_01What?
SPEAKER_02Well, I think You think I'd be a bad sister?
SPEAKER_04No, I think you're in for a penny, in for a pound. I think if you were like, okay, I'm cloistered in this lifestyle, you'd be all in on it. But if you were like, okay, well, I'm gonna be a converse out of music.
SPEAKER_02Well, I'd be I'd be breaking out. You'd be breaking all the rules. I'd be hooking up with the priest on the street.
SPEAKER_04You'd be hooking up with the priest on the street. Walk me through that. Down the street. Oh, okay, okay. Down the street. Down the street.
SPEAKER_02No, no, no, not part of your own design. I'd be like um uh Whoopi Goldberg when she goes to the the bar as uh when she's a nun. You're talking about Sister Act? Yeah.
SPEAKER_03Great movie, by the way.
SPEAKER_02I go to the bar as well.
SPEAKER_05Dang. Yeah. Yeah. It's pretty rough.
SPEAKER_01I had never seen it either, and then it came on on the cruise.
SPEAKER_04Yeah. And I only watched it.
SPEAKER_01No, I haven't seen any of it.
SPEAKER_04Sister Act Two? I've seen the second act. Yeah, what happens in Sister Act 2?
SPEAKER_02Um she comes back to help the nuts and it's a bit.
SPEAKER_04That's Babe Pig in the city. That's the sequel to Babe.
SPEAKER_02No.
SPEAKER_05A lot of the sequels are goes to New York.
SPEAKER_02That's Mary Kate and Ashley, Big Apple, or whatever.
SPEAKER_04Oh, yeah. Everybody does it.
SPEAKER_05Everybody goes to New York.
SPEAKER_02Oh, that's New York Minute. New York Minute.
SPEAKER_04You guys seen those Madagascar movies? We got a new Minions movie out. Yes. That's pretty cool.
SPEAKER_02You actually brought this up.
SPEAKER_04I did. That was good. Go ahead, Annie.
SPEAKER_02Thank you. But every time a new minions movie comes out, what do they have to talk about?
SPEAKER_04They do have to talk about. Every time there's like four or five minions movies. Every time the creators, because the whole thing behind the minions is like they serve whoever is the the most evil person at the time. Yeah. They have to make a statement every time a minions movie comes out that they didn't like work for Hitler. They're like, Yeah, between between like 1930, there this is lore. This is built into the movies. Between like 1930 and 1950-something, the minions were like trapped in the ice in the Arctic or something.
SPEAKER_02In the minions movie, it has like a compilation of them working for all like Napoleon and all the most evil people. And they have to say like no.
SPEAKER_03And they didn't work for Hitler.
SPEAKER_01Got it.
SPEAKER_03You know, the minions.
SPEAKER_01So what was the one person who was also evil at the time of Hitler? That was it.
SPEAKER_04I think they got trapped in the snow or something.
SPEAKER_01That's in the first this is in the first or the second minions movie?
unknownGot it.
SPEAKER_04Yeah, the second movie worked for Hitler.
SPEAKER_05It's like the origin story of how they found Grew.
SPEAKER_04Canonically, the Minions never served Adolf Hitler. The franchise established that they inherently seek out the most evil and despicable masters in the world, despicable me. However, the creators intentionally placed the minions into an isolated ice cave in Antarctica from 1812 until 1968 to deliberately avoid this ethical dilemma.
SPEAKER_00That is so funny.
SPEAKER_03Because the movie lore states the minions were completely frozen solid during World War II. Oh, that's awesome.
SPEAKER_02That's awesome. And the best part is they said, How are we gonna like how are we gonna avoid them working for Hitler? And someone said, Ice Cave next. What if Hitler had minions?
SPEAKER_01What would have happened? No, he he did.
SPEAKER_04It was called World War II.
SPEAKER_01No, I mean like actual.
SPEAKER_04Oh, you mean if they did work for him? Yeah. I mean, we wouldn't have five minions movies, you know? Like that for sure. They'd probably go down.
SPEAKER_02Yeah, we wouldn't be we wouldn't be down for the minions like we are now.
unknownOh yeah.
SPEAKER_02We love those minions. Talk about cults. They have a cult following. People love that.
SPEAKER_04They kind of go through phases where they're like not cool and then they're cool again, and then they're like the most annoying thing. I'm for some reason this time around, I'm not super annoyed by the minions. But I feel like the last minions movie that came out, I was like, I'm so freaking sick of seeing these minions.
SPEAKER_02I feel like they've made them less annoying. Have they got a commercial?
SPEAKER_04Did they?
SPEAKER_02I don't know.
SPEAKER_04Ba-boy.
SPEAKER_02Ba-boy. That's great. I feel like they pitched it down a little bit.
SPEAKER_04John, can I hear your minion?
SPEAKER_05I wouldn't even know.
SPEAKER_04Just say banana, but like as a as a minion. Come on. I'm just give me the college. The old college try.
SPEAKER_05I wouldn't even know how to do it. Don't get modest. Dead serious. Don't get modest.
SPEAKER_01What's the one minion's name?
SPEAKER_05Yeah, and for good reason. It is for good reason. I don't know how to do them. Okay, if Oh my gosh. Gun to my head. Gun to your head. I die. You die.
SPEAKER_02Held by a machine.
SPEAKER_04Go ahead. There are a lot of people. I'm not doing it.
SPEAKER_02Bad bully. It sounds like bad bully.
SPEAKER_04Come on, John.
SPEAKER_05I wouldn't even do it. I wouldn't even know how to how to go about it, honestly. Do you know what the minions sound like? I just wouldn't know how to make my voice sound like it.
SPEAKER_02There was like a sorority um like talent show. Yeah. And she sang a song in Minionese. It was really good. It was really good. I did see that.
SPEAKER_05It was a good one. It was a company at the premiere of the city.
SPEAKER_02It was at the premiere. It was like Minion Oki. Okay, I saw it and I thought it was a good one. It did look like it was small. I must have read a wait, was that the premiere of I thought it was like a random thing. I thought it was like a yeah, like a lot of things.
SPEAKER_05Yeah, it was cool. I love that. And they got like gave an award.
SPEAKER_02Can you imagine the person who like pitched that, like pitched the minions, is sitting there listening to someone belt their heart out in this fake made-up language at the premiere of this movie?
SPEAKER_04And that person is John. Take it away, John.
SPEAKER_05It's so funny. I genuinely I wouldn't even know how to how to start.
SPEAKER_04Okay, you've got you've got a week to figure it out. Okay, yeah. And next week, on our live stream, podcast. It's either you do it now and we get to edit it.
SPEAKER_02Whoa, when are we live streaming?
SPEAKER_04Uh it's on Friday. On Friday?
SPEAKER_02When what like the when?
SPEAKER_04I mean we'll talk about it in the podcast. I mean, yeah. It's gotta be a conversation for Apple Pod, right?
SPEAKER_05We edit this podcast. We haven't taken something out of this podcast in years.
SPEAKER_03No, of course not. I'll talk to the guy about it.
SPEAKER_02Wow. Um what? No.
SPEAKER_03Evil Evil Frank Sinatra be like a Mitchell. That's death.
SPEAKER_02That's death.
SPEAKER_03That's pretty funny.
SPEAKER_02So nothing really crazy happening in the news. No.
SPEAKER_04Uh Mitch McConnell might be dead.
SPEAKER_05Oh, I heard about this.
SPEAKER_04What? No, no. Mitch McConnell might be dead. No, apparently. Technically, right? So there was a rumor that came out that he was in the hospital and he was brain dead. Um but now all of these all of these people, mostly I'll say on Fox News, are reporting that they've been talking to him. Oh they've been having conversations with him. Yeah, I don't know to what extent people have been talking to him, but there's this whole conspiracy. Oh my god, you guys. There it goes. There we go. Hold for fire.
SPEAKER_05Whole conspiracy. Yeah.
SPEAKER_02A little metal dumpster fire. Wouldn't that be fun? No, thank you, John, because I got a lot of flack for being a little pyro.
SPEAKER_05I just think it'd be fun to have like a pretty good size. We just throw little little things in there and we get bored.
SPEAKER_02So is Mitch O'Connell dead or not?
SPEAKER_05No, he's not dead.
SPEAKER_04I'm trying to tell you he's maybe dead, but you guys had a fire thing going on. He's maybe dead. I'm trying to get to the bottom of it.
SPEAKER_05Of course they're doing the exact doing the exact same normal thing that we all do, which is like, can he still serve as a senator?
SPEAKER_02I'm feeling much better now. Not like he's a vegetable.
SPEAKER_05Well, yeah. That's that's a goodly dad.
SPEAKER_04Scott Jennings urged to call Mitch McConnell on TV. Oh now they're saying, okay, because apparently Scott's saying call him.
SPEAKER_02He goes, I'm not sure.
SPEAKER_04Scott Jennings assuring us that he's alive. He's alive.
SPEAKER_02Do you guys want me to do that?
SPEAKER_05Do you want me to keep talking about a longtime advisor to send once you kick it? I'll say Mitch McConnell.
SPEAKER_01Are we surprised? Here's the thing.
SPEAKER_04He does look dead.
SPEAKER_01He looks like a turtle.
SPEAKER_04He doesn't look like he's alive.
SPEAKER_02He looks like a guy from the Master of Disguise.
SPEAKER_04It's an 84-year-old man.
SPEAKER_02Wow, he's actually not that old. He was born limits.
SPEAKER_04He was born a year after we entered World War II.
SPEAKER_02I hope that Trump makes it so he can run for a third term because I'm voting back in Obama. Get my man back in there.
SPEAKER_01I don't know if Obama would want to come back.
SPEAKER_02No, but I if all of us write his name, the peer pressure him enough, they'll have to.
SPEAKER_04Hold on a second. I hope that Donald Trump gets rid of term limits so I can vote back in Obama. I mean, it's like failed successfully, you know?
SPEAKER_02Like, That's what I'm saying. He's he's saying third term, and I'm saying, yeah, buddy, do it.
SPEAKER_04Um I wonder how that would pan out for us. I wouldn't have to be able to do that. Obama. Obama versus Trump. Would that pan out for us? Or are there more Trump supporters?
SPEAKER_05Guys, yeah, I don't know. That's crazy.
SPEAKER_04I feel like that sentiment is prepared. Um wild, you know. I feel like that sentiment is pretty prevalent though. Like, oh, bring back Obama. Like, um best president ever.
SPEAKER_02Yeah. Ever? They don't know about James Garfield then, huh?
SPEAKER_04You are exhausting. Ever? Ever. Ever. Out of all of them. Who was the one that died an hour after he got elected because he got shot? I'd vote for him. Annie would know. Go ahead, Annie. Is it is that President Taylor?
SPEAKER_01No, he had something like that. No, it wasn't after. There was a president. Wasn't it like a two weeks?
SPEAKER_02Yeah, it was like the shortest.
SPEAKER_04President who survived.
SPEAKER_05Presidents that got shot and survived.
SPEAKER_04A lot of presidents, yeah. Ronald Reagan.
SPEAKER_06True, yeah, Trump. Allegedly. Who was the other guy that was a few years ago?
SPEAKER_04William Henry Harrison holds the record for the shortest presidential term. He served for 31 days. He was the ninth president after delivering the longest inaugural dress in the history of this country. Nearly two hours. In freezing weather without a coat. What a badass. Died. He caught a severe cold that developed into pneumonia and he died. Oh 1841.
SPEAKER_05The weather killed him. Weirdly enough, on 4th of July, like my feed brought a video that said it told me how every pre US president died, which is crazy. Three days.
SPEAKER_02What was the most interesting one? Go. Um polio.
SPEAKER_05It was it was the interesting ones were the ones that died before the Secret Service came came into play. Because there was a lot of like shadowed in like mystery. Like they think he might have been poisoned, but they don't now they don't. And and then then like there was the obviously like the first real attempt, and then the secret service. Well, after the secret service came into play, you know it's crazy. It all kind of got really boring. Like they just you know old age.
SPEAKER_02Abraham Lincoln had a meeting about Secret Service. Oh, really? Like the week he got killed.
SPEAKER_05Yeah.
SPEAKER_04The United States Secret Service was founded in on July 5th, 1865.
SPEAKER_02And it was originally for counterfeiting that.
SPEAKER_05And it's crazy, like it's crazy how like we didn't like it really was born out of like so many attempts on the president's life. And I'm like, how did we not think about that when we like first became a nation? Hey, this is the first, like, this is the most important guy, at least in that back then in the country. We should protect him, right? We just fought a war over this, right?
SPEAKER_02There it used to be an open door policy. Any any constituent of America could make an appointment to talk to the president.
SPEAKER_05Which is crazy.
SPEAKER_02And that's kind of how Garfield he had a guy who was like um who was on his campaign, had fought so hard for him to become president, like made all these appointments, and Garfield kind of blew him off, and he got basically pissed because he was like, No, I worked hard for you, now I'm gonna work for you. And he's like, No, like no. And he ended up following him to the train station and shooting him.
SPEAKER_05Teddy Roosevelt was pretty gnarly, I guess, too. Because the other thing I'm getting now on my feed is a guy is eating like every US president for a day.
SPEAKER_02Yeah, crazy.
SPEAKER_05Oh, I've seen that guy. Like Teddy Roosevelt's meals were like so wild, and all a lot of those, those I would say like probably one through twenty. Yeah.
SPEAKER_04The weirdest. Wait till you get to like Nixon has a really weird one. And then I think um that like their diets and and I think like Lyndon B. Johnson has like a really weird one too. Yeah. Where he eats like a Twinkie every day. Yes, and then he eats like a cold.
SPEAKER_01You think it's like a like a sports thing? Like, I gotta wear my same socks every day. No, I think these guys are just freaks.
SPEAKER_04Oh, like uh, you think it's like a superstition. I think all the power goes to their heads. Yeah.
SPEAKER_05No, I think I yeah, and it's funny because there there is. I had my twinkie today, a word's gonna break out. Exactly. There's a vast difference between like really every president was either incredibly unhealthy or like super weird about what they like there was no in between.
SPEAKER_04You think about like Joe Biden talked about how he grew up poor and like ice cream was a thing, and so that's why he ate so much ice cream as a president, because he was like you know appreciating it. Yeah, because now I can have ice cream all I want.
SPEAKER_06Yeah.
SPEAKER_04Um, so it could just be that he eats like absolute garbage like a child. Surprisingly, like McDonald's every single day.
SPEAKER_02That became like American.
SPEAKER_05He's doing much better. He's gonna be a good thing. Don't worry, guys, we're talking about a diet.
SPEAKER_01He only eats one person. He's certainly an American president.
SPEAKER_05And he's up like super late.
SPEAKER_04Like a snake meal.
SPEAKER_01It's very horrible.
SPEAKER_05Oh, for sure.
SPEAKER_02Snake meal. Yeah, snake meal. The president eats.
SPEAKER_05I think it's I mean, it's all that stuff is super strange to me. I don't know. What I guess what would be your your opening meal, like your breakfast as a president. If you I mean, would it be the same as you do now or would you change it? Um as the president is interesting.
SPEAKER_04Because you always we always talk about like our last meal, like what would you eat at your last meal? But like if I was the president you can kind of eat whatever you want every day. But Obama always said that the you pay for the stuff just because you have a private jet, like you pay for all your meals at the White House, like just because you you have access to that for you. Right? Right. They just take it out of your salary as a president.
SPEAKER_05But it's like $450,000 a year. It's it's a pretty good amount of money. Sure. Yeah. So I mean, stressful job, right?
SPEAKER_04They're eating good, definitely. What would I eat as president every day? What's the first thing you'd eat? I don't always eat breakfast. You'd have lobster all the time. Well, I do like lobster breakfasts. It'd have to be like lobster Fridays, you know.
SPEAKER_02I know.
SPEAKER_04I know it could be lobster every day.
SPEAKER_02It could be it could be. It could be. And I just want you to know that when that happens, if you ever become president, I'm exposing you.
SPEAKER_04Yeah.
SPEAKER_02I'm saying the president of the United States eats lobster every day. That's where your tax dollars are going.
SPEAKER_04First of all, if I'm the president, you are in the freaking, you know, gulag or whatever. Yeah. The dungeon. You're going right to the dungeon.
SPEAKER_02I'm in the dungeon. Yeah, you know, guantanamo. Yeah. I've got a president or a prisoner coming. I'm because I'm going to be a threat to national security if you're president.
SPEAKER_03Yeah, you are you currently are. I just want to say, you are now. So I'll be giving the country a service.
SPEAKER_02Immediately.
SPEAKER_05If you're president, I'm just like, what do you want to do first, Ryan? I'm like, get Annie. Do me a favor. Can you find Annie Scobin? Get Annie Scoban online.
SPEAKER_02Get it out and arrest her ass now.
SPEAKER_04Arrest her. Throw her in the brig.
SPEAKER_05If you ever want, if you ever, if we want to see me get re-elected, Annie has to get arrested. This is my first hundred days.
SPEAKER_03My first hundred days is like a hundred things I'm gonna do to mess with Annie.
SPEAKER_02I was sitting on the fifth. Throw a little rocks at Annie. And and I was like, you know, at the at the Coronado like outdoor concerts in the park, and we were playing Would You Rather for like two hours, three hours, me and this group of friends, and some crazy would you rather question got thrown out there, and our friend Kayla leans over to me and she goes, And to think you could have been in Congress. Oh my god.
SPEAKER_03And to think you could have been in Congress.
SPEAKER_02What was the question? I don't remember hours of it. You don't have to say that. Um but I died laughing because she was completely like, and to think you could have been in Congress.
SPEAKER_04Allegedly, I don't know if this is true, but this is always a thing my dad says. Um John D. Rockefeller, we know, of the Rockefellers. Of the New York Rockefellers. Yes. He used to drink um four ounces of breast milk every single day.
SPEAKER_05That is super weird. Are you gonna start doing that?
SPEAKER_01If I was the president. Is that just cow breast milk? Hey everybody!
