Dang, hit it. I should probably spit out my gum, huh? Keep the gum.

SPEAKER_05

Stick it underneath the table. Storage gum.

SPEAKER_02

It's tried it too.

SPEAKER_05

Just stick it underneath the table. I'm just gonna swallow it. Just stick it underneath the table. That's what we're doing.

SPEAKER_02

Swallow it. It's twiddled twelve because it's a little bit. Now it's gonna stay on my digestive tract for seven years. I swallowed it. He swallows it back to the bottom. Oh my god.

SPEAKER_02

Hello, thank you for having me. We're back my opinions on the geopolitical climate. Oh.

SPEAKER_04

What's your biggest opinion about the geopolitical climate right now?

SPEAKER_02

It's not geo enough.

SPEAKER_04

You think it needs to be more political? I want more geo. Less political, more geo.

SPEAKER_02

I 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_04

Why do you think they do that? Do we ever get to the bottom of that?

SPEAKER_02

I know, but do they? Why specifically this? Well, what's our thing?

SPEAKER_04

Who's us, by the way? Who are we?

SPEAKER_02

Americans.

SPEAKER_04

Americans?

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, you. I'm talking about you. Your people.

SPEAKER_03

What'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_02

My people are the people at this table. Who are you talking about? You're telling me that your people aren't these people?

SPEAKER_03

No, these are not my people. I'll tell you that.

SPEAKER_02

Really? There's a person you helped make at this scene.

SPEAKER_04

Well, yes. That's not your person.

SPEAKER_02

Well, she's not remember that.

SPEAKER_04

Sitting. She's laying down.

unknown

Did you hear that?

SPEAKER_04

Okay, don't talk to my unborn child, please. Thank you.

SPEAKER_05

Please don't talk to her. Please don't talk to my unborn child.

SPEAKER_04

Do not speak to my unborn child. Thank you.

SPEAKER_05

Do not talk to my unborn children.

SPEAKER_02

Anyway.

SPEAKER_04

Anyways. 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_01

Murder trial. There's a local murder? Yeah, they wrap that up. Who murdered what?

SPEAKER_04

A couple years ago, um, a guy murdered his wife in Chula Vista. Oh.

SPEAKER_01

Remember, she went missing?

SPEAKER_04

She was like, there was a whole first she went missing. Yeah. And then it was like.

SPEAKER_01

And 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_04

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02

Did you hear that?

SPEAKER_01

She was having an affair, all the stuff came out. Not worthy of being murdered over.

SPEAKER_04

He had a good, it wasn't the affair guy, because he had a good alibi.

SPEAKER_01

Oh, his ex-wife was in the hospital having a baby.

SPEAKER_04

Their baby. And he was there in attendance. So his his alibi was airtight. Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_02

Dateline. Great story. I know. That's gonna be a great um hallmark mystery movie one day.

SPEAKER_03

What a great story was Andy's takeaway from that.

SPEAKER_01

Hallmark does the murder. I think it's more Lifetime.

SPEAKER_02

Oh, 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_01

I love a good murder story.

SPEAKER_04

Hey, thank you for that disclaimer. By the way, we want to make it clear murder against murder.

SPEAKER_02

If you're gonna murder, make it dramatic.

SPEAKER_04

Why are we so fascinated with murder mysteries? I know, we do.

SPEAKER_02

And this is the thing I hate to admit.

SPEAKER_04

The big we. Of course, not us, not my people.

SPEAKER_02

Actually, 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_03

Oh my god.

SPEAKER_02

Well, 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_04

They didn't want to go see that.

SPEAKER_02

Yes, they did. It was just happening.

SPEAKER_04

Everyone in town. You want to know what's happening.

SPEAKER_02

That was the social gush. It said you were going to the hanging, right? When did they start playing to do that?

SPEAKER_04

When was the first sport?

SPEAKER_01

Oh, um, like the games in Luckily Irish.

SPEAKER_04

Okay, 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_02

There are games where watch people die.

SPEAKER_04

When did they develop game where people didn't die? Yeah.

SPEAKER_02

The 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_04

Huh.

SPEAKER_02

And I'm not saying that's right.

SPEAKER_04

I was gonna say you keep throwing around more fun quite quite freely.

SPEAKER_02

More 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_03

She's speedrunning podcast topics. Let's I'm gonna I'm gonna put it.

SPEAKER_02

Those 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_04

Okay. So does that make me not I'm basically on the same level.

SPEAKER_02

You'd watch the public hanging.

SPEAKER_04

Let's let's put a pause on this conversation because I feel like we're going down a road. Uh-oh.

SPEAKER_05

You put a pause on your conversation. A road to murder.

SPEAKER_04

Yeah, 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_02

The Odyssey.

SPEAKER_04

I'll be seeing it too.

SPEAKER_02

How long is it gonna be? Uh it's pretty long.

SPEAKER_04

It's like a three-hour movie for sure. Um big book.

SPEAKER_01

Never read it.

SPEAKER_04

Never read the Odyssey.

SPEAKER_01

No. I think I read an abridged version. There's already been a movie, right?

SPEAKER_04

It's not that entertaining.

SPEAKER_01

I think we watched the movie in English class.

SPEAKER_04

Well, 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_05

Doesn't matter.

SPEAKER_04

But Christopher Nolan's uh doing the press junket. Tom Holland's been out there doing the press junket.

SPEAKER_02

Is he the main guy? Yeah.

SPEAKER_04

Tom Holland is um Odysseus' son. That's like waiting for him. Uh Matt Damon.

SPEAKER_02

Matt Damon.

SPEAKER_04

Matt Damon.

SPEAKER_02

Matt Damon. And I know Zendaya's Athena, is she not?

SPEAKER_04

Zendaya's Athena.

SPEAKER_02

Oh, she is? Yeah.

SPEAKER_04

Yeah. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02

Oh.

SPEAKER_04

We'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_01

But Tom Holland's also playing probably a 14-year-old, right?

SPEAKER_04

No, he's like an adult son.

SPEAKER_01

Okay, then he's 15.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, but back then it would have I don't think he's he's 30 now.

SPEAKER_04

Sure. How old is Tom Holland?

SPEAKER_02

He's 30.

SPEAKER_01

He's like your age.

SPEAKER_03

He's old.

SPEAKER_01

No, he's like 30, 30, 31, 32. He's probably playing a 16-year-old boy in a movie. Tom Holland?

SPEAKER_04

Tom Holland.

SPEAKER_05

He's 30 years old.

SPEAKER_04

I think his son his son's supposed to be a grown-up man.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, 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_04

Odysseus'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_01

Eight or nine? Yeah, right?

SPEAKER_04

Exactly.

unknown

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01

Okay, 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_04

Go ahead. Spider-Man. Spider-Man is also coming out. Spider-Man? Yeah.

SPEAKER_06

Yeah. This is the one when they all forgot about him.

SPEAKER_04

Like a soft reboot, kind of.

SPEAKER_01

But it's also the whole story is like his DNA is changing.

SPEAKER_04

Okay.

SPEAKER_05

Okay.

SPEAKER_02

So he's no longer there.

SPEAKER_01

So then he goes to the Hulk for help.

SPEAKER_04

Oh. Getting into like some actual Spider-Man lore.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah. Oh.

SPEAKER_05

I need to catch up on my Spider-Man movies.

SPEAKER_01

I don't know any Spider-Man lore.

SPEAKER_04

I 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_01

Oh well in the comics he is like a teenage boy, right?

SPEAKER_04

It's like not to be taken seriously at all, is the point.

SPEAKER_02

It was more like Scooby-Doo S.

SPEAKER_04

Way more Scooby-Doo. Exactly.

SPEAKER_02

Let's catch him with a big net.

SPEAKER_04

Let's like catch him with a big net.

SPEAKER_02

There's not as much like blasting and guns and whatnot.

SPEAKER_04

Yeah, now they're just blasting guns. Hey, you know what? And with that, all those fake Fortnite kills that I'm getting.

SPEAKER_02

You're blasting guns. I'm just saying.

SPEAKER_04

Right.

SPEAKER_02

A little confetti.

SPEAKER_04

You brought it back.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, well, you brought it back.

SPEAKER_03

So they're just gonna be. Annie was beefing with me earlier. So she's trying to get back to my my good graces.

SPEAKER_04

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01

Oh well, whatever. Good graces.

SPEAKER_04

This 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_04

See, 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_05

Well there might be that's not true. I've seen it.

SPEAKER_04

There's like bigger format. No, there's like IMAX and then there's like IMAX 70 minutes.

SPEAKER_01

I 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_04

Right.

SPEAKER_01

Of what you're looking at. Why would they do that?

SPEAKER_02

Why not just show the whole movie? What's the point?

SPEAKER_04

Yeah, it's like theaters aren't equipped to show it in its like size.

SPEAKER_01

So 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_02

Okay, then here's my question when I watch it at my house eventually. Yeah.

SPEAKER_06

Um, what version am I seeing?

SPEAKER_04

You 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_06

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04

When 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_02

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04

It's funny.

SPEAKER_01

Interesting. I don't know.

SPEAKER_04

I'm really looking forward to it. Uh that stuff kind of I nerd out on.

SPEAKER_01

I started watching the new legally blonde spinoff.

SPEAKER_02

Oh how was that? I don't know how I actually like it. Really? She got Reese's like cadence down pretty well.

SPEAKER_01

It'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_02

I'm surprised her daughter didn't want to do it.

SPEAKER_01

This girl looks more like her, like she should be her daughter. I don't know.

SPEAKER_02

Her daughter looks just like her in my mind.

SPEAKER_01

It'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_04

I did watch some of it with Kara. It's pretty funny enough.

SPEAKER_01

She 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_04

That's kind of the whole beat, is like she's like pink, and everyone else is like dark colors.

SPEAKER_01

But 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_04

Gotta rehash it.

SPEAKER_01

A good self. But it's fun. I like it. Well, I mean, her being in the school is the funny part.

SPEAKER_04

Yeah. Got that Moana remake coming out. No. Live action Moana? What? You don't want to watch Moana again?

SPEAKER_02

No, I don't want to watch Moana for the four thousandth times. I'll probably see as Maui.

SPEAKER_04

That'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_01

There's a new song.

SPEAKER_04

Is there?

SPEAKER_01

Moana is singing to the ocean, and the voice of the ocean is Ali E. Cravajo.

SPEAKER_04

Okay.

SPEAKER_01

And they do a duet together.

SPEAKER_04

Like 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_05

I 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_01

Because they got to film it in Hawaii and have a vacation. What's the name of that?

SPEAKER_04

Frozen 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_01

And then there's Olaf's like Christmas Adventure or whatever, and I don't know.

SPEAKER_04

Frozen 2013.

SPEAKER_01

Isn't that crazy?

SPEAKER_04

Moana 2016.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah. That's what I'm saying. I would have expected a frozen live action free.

SPEAKER_05

Frozen three is coming out in 2027. Okay.

SPEAKER_04

Alright. So we got one more year till Fresen.

SPEAKER_05

And she's writing an ice force. And then Frozen. Which is cool.

SPEAKER_04

What's the reason? I don't know.

SPEAKER_02

An ice force? Ice horse.

SPEAKER_04

It looks like some sort of snow horse.

SPEAKER_02

Oh, yeah, that one's in the second ice horse.

SPEAKER_05

Oh.

SPEAKER_04

Frozen 3 melted. I mean, where could it possibly go? You know?

SPEAKER_01

Well, the second one is all about finding that she's gay. Where her powers came from.

SPEAKER_04

Was the first one that Elsa's gay or is the second one that Elsa's gay?

SPEAKER_01

The whole time she's gay.

SPEAKER_04

Right?

SPEAKER_01

She never has a love interest. That doesn't mean she's gay.

SPEAKER_05

I mean she probably is. No comment.

SPEAKER_03

No comment, by the way.

SPEAKER_02

I'm just saying doesn't mean that.

SPEAKER_03

No, I know that.

SPEAKER_02

I'm just saying I don't think Agreed.

SPEAKER_04

Of 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_02

Yes. Yes.

SPEAKER_01

Where it came from.

SPEAKER_05

Go ahead, John.

SPEAKER_02

And they're trying to find out why she's gonna be able to do it.

SPEAKER_05

Not every 20 28-year-old that's alone. Yeah. It doesn't mean that you're gay. It doesn't. Not at all.

SPEAKER_04

And I've always said that.

SPEAKER_05

Right? 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_04

By 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_05

Industry is afraid of a strong woman lead. And she has to be a good one.

SPEAKER_04

And Olaf is asexual. What? Or bisexual.

SPEAKER_06

I don't know.

SPEAKER_02

And she finds a nice horse. No, an ice horse. There's a difference. A nice ice horse.

SPEAKER_05

Is it a snow horse or is it an ice horse?

SPEAKER_04

I think it's a sleet horse. Sleet. A flurry.

SPEAKER_01

The second movie is she like finds her magical powers in this like iceberg type thing. She goes into the unknown.

SPEAKER_04

She goes into the unknown. She's finding where they came from. Never taught Tuzen?

SPEAKER_01

It's a unknown like a um a patronum.

SPEAKER_04

Yes. The horse is like a Harry Potter.

SPEAKER_05

Now 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_01

And then they did a live action.

SPEAKER_02

Spirit! 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_03

Hold on a second.

SPEAKER_02

Country Bears!

SPEAKER_04

That has nothing to do with spirit. What are you talking about?

SPEAKER_05

Practical effects. What happened to that?

SPEAKER_04

I agree with that.

SPEAKER_05

I'm for sure. Multiple times. Never happened a practical effects. I'll watch it again tonight.

SPEAKER_01

We'll talk about another one of the practical effects. That's a tause.

SPEAKER_04

Listen, 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_00

We're not children. Okay, I like Frozen 2.

SPEAKER_04

I'm not seeing Moana live action on principle.

SPEAKER_02

That's the same reason I'm not going to the Mormon Temple.

SPEAKER_04

Oh.

SPEAKER_05

That's crazy.

SPEAKER_02

No, we've talked we've talked about that. No, we didn't go.

SPEAKER_04

You think we would have gone and not told you about it? Come on.

SPEAKER_02

Well, I thought maybe you guys.

SPEAKER_01

You think it's worth seeing? I saw it on the news. Yeah.

SPEAKER_04

They posted a lot of videos and photos of it. Did you see?

SPEAKER_01

I've also seen TikToks that people snuck their phones in and took photos.

SPEAKER_04

Hilarious, by the way. Hilarious TikToks.

SPEAKER_05

Aren't they going to wait to do all the cool stuff when the general public?

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, all the like, you know, culty things.

SPEAKER_04

I did see their baptismal looked pretty culty. Oh yeah. Big cows or something.

SPEAKER_01

Why is that culty?

SPEAKER_04

You didn't see it. Yeah, it's just a bunch of animals. Yeah, it looks cultural.

SPEAKER_01

Holding up a baptismal.

SPEAKER_04

Exactly.

SPEAKER_01

But 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_04

Yes. But that's not the point. This one looks particularly culty.

SPEAKER_05

Sure.

SPEAKER_02

Or a hot tub.

SPEAKER_05

Hot tub's cool.

SPEAKER_04

Did you get baptized in a hot tub?

SPEAKER_02

But it was- I mean it was built into the church, but yeah, it was a hot tub.

SPEAKER_05

You literally could baptized in a hot tub.

SPEAKER_04

It's cows. It's all cows.

SPEAKER_02

Oh, it's a hot tub. Yeah. And a white robe. That was the most bad. Actually, it's a white robe.

SPEAKER_04

That looks not cruelty to you. That looks like that looks innocent.

SPEAKER_02

And everyone encircles you as you get ducked. That's that's pretty cool. That's cruelty.

SPEAKER_04

It's there's definitely lore there.

SPEAKER_01

Okay, any baptism is a culty.

SPEAKER_04

Baptism is a couple of things.

SPEAKER_01

Exactly. 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_04

I 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_02

Oh, because they baptize the dead. Yeah.

SPEAKER_04

Allow members to be baptized on behalf of deceased ancestries who never received. Come on.

SPEAKER_02

You know, you know somebody baptized the house.

SPEAKER_05

They're juicing the numbers. They're juicing the numbers.

SPEAKER_04

Somebody 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_01

You 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_04

It'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_05

Who prays people in purgatory?

SPEAKER_01

You love the purgatory. Yeah, when someone dies, they get sent to purgatory. Unless someone prays for them.

SPEAKER_05

And that's not culty in your that's the same thing. That's no, she's saying that's culty.

SPEAKER_04

I'm saying that's the same same thing.

SPEAKER_05

I'm just kind of getting I'm trying to get a baseline on religion. Yeah.

SPEAKER_04

I just I just think it's a little reductive. Like, I don't know. Like yes, it's culty, sure.

SPEAKER_05

If 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_01

And 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_04

And that's not even like a like ha ha funny thing. Like they do that. It's like pray for the lost souls.

SPEAKER_02

Like that's I found out recently there's a difference between sisters and nuns.

SPEAKER_04

They're juicing the numbers.

SPEAKER_02

I 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_05

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02

And 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_04

And 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_02

I could be a sister, I could never be a nun. You tell me I can't leave?

SPEAKER_04

Okay, so why would you? I disagree. I think you could be a nun. I don't think you'd be a good sister.

SPEAKER_01

What?

SPEAKER_02

Well, I think You think I'd be a bad sister?

SPEAKER_04

No, 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_02

Well, 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_04

You'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_02

No, 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_03

Great movie, by the way.

SPEAKER_02

I go to the bar as well.

SPEAKER_05

Dang. Yeah. Yeah. It's pretty rough.

SPEAKER_01

I had never seen it either, and then it came on on the cruise.

SPEAKER_04

Yeah. And I only watched it.

SPEAKER_01

No, I haven't seen any of it.

SPEAKER_04

Sister Act Two? I've seen the second act. Yeah, what happens in Sister Act 2?

SPEAKER_02

Um she comes back to help the nuts and it's a bit.

SPEAKER_04

That's Babe Pig in the city. That's the sequel to Babe.

SPEAKER_02

No.

SPEAKER_05

A lot of the sequels are goes to New York.

SPEAKER_02

That's Mary Kate and Ashley, Big Apple, or whatever.

SPEAKER_04

Oh, yeah. Everybody does it.

SPEAKER_05

Everybody goes to New York.

SPEAKER_02

Oh, that's New York Minute. New York Minute.

SPEAKER_04

You guys seen those Madagascar movies? We got a new Minions movie out. Yes. That's pretty cool.

SPEAKER_02

You actually brought this up.

SPEAKER_04

I did. That was good. Go ahead, Annie.

SPEAKER_02

Thank you. But every time a new minions movie comes out, what do they have to talk about?

SPEAKER_04

They 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_02

In 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_03

And they didn't work for Hitler.

SPEAKER_01

Got it.

SPEAKER_03

You know, the minions.

SPEAKER_01

So what was the one person who was also evil at the time of Hitler? That was it.

SPEAKER_04

I think they got trapped in the snow or something.

SPEAKER_01

That's in the first this is in the first or the second minions movie?

unknown

Got it.

SPEAKER_04

Yeah, the second movie worked for Hitler.

SPEAKER_05

It's like the origin story of how they found Grew.

SPEAKER_04

Canonically, 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_00

That is so funny.

SPEAKER_03

Because the movie lore states the minions were completely frozen solid during World War II. Oh, that's awesome.

SPEAKER_02

That'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_01

What would have happened? No, he he did.

SPEAKER_04

It was called World War II.

SPEAKER_01

No, I mean like actual.

SPEAKER_04

Oh, 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_02

Yeah, we wouldn't be we wouldn't be down for the minions like we are now.

unknown

Oh yeah.

SPEAKER_02

We love those minions. Talk about cults. They have a cult following. People love that.

SPEAKER_04

They 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_02

I feel like they've made them less annoying. Have they got a commercial?

SPEAKER_04

Did they?

SPEAKER_02

I don't know.

SPEAKER_04

Ba-boy.

SPEAKER_02

Ba-boy. That's great. I feel like they pitched it down a little bit.

SPEAKER_04

John, can I hear your minion?

SPEAKER_05

I wouldn't even know.

SPEAKER_04

Just say banana, but like as a as a minion. Come on. I'm just give me the college. The old college try.

SPEAKER_05

I wouldn't even know how to do it. Don't get modest. Dead serious. Don't get modest.

SPEAKER_01

What's the one minion's name?

SPEAKER_05

Yeah, 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_02

Held by a machine.

SPEAKER_04

Go ahead. There are a lot of people. I'm not doing it.

SPEAKER_02

Bad bully. It sounds like bad bully.

SPEAKER_04

Come on, John.

SPEAKER_05

I 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_02

There 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_05

It was a good one. It was a company at the premiere of the city.

SPEAKER_02

It 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_05

Yeah, it was cool. I love that. And they got like gave an award.

SPEAKER_02

Can 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_04

And that person is John. Take it away, John.

SPEAKER_05

It's so funny. I genuinely I wouldn't even know how to how to start.

SPEAKER_04

Okay, 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_02

Wow. Um what? No.

SPEAKER_03

Evil Evil Frank Sinatra be like a Mitchell. That's death.

SPEAKER_02

That's death.

SPEAKER_03

That's pretty funny.

SPEAKER_02

So nothing really crazy happening in the news. No.

SPEAKER_04

Uh Mitch McConnell might be dead.

SPEAKER_05

Oh, I heard about this.

SPEAKER_04

What? 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_05

Whole conspiracy. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02

A 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_05

I 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_02

So is Mitch O'Connell dead or not?

SPEAKER_05

No, he's not dead.

SPEAKER_04

I'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_05

Of 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_02

I'm feeling much better now. Not like he's a vegetable.

SPEAKER_05

Well, yeah. That's that's a goodly dad.

SPEAKER_04

Scott Jennings urged to call Mitch McConnell on TV. Oh now they're saying, okay, because apparently Scott's saying call him.

SPEAKER_02

He goes, I'm not sure.

SPEAKER_04

Scott Jennings assuring us that he's alive. He's alive.

SPEAKER_02

Do you guys want me to do that?

SPEAKER_05

Do you want me to keep talking about a longtime advisor to send once you kick it? I'll say Mitch McConnell.

SPEAKER_01

Are we surprised? Here's the thing.

SPEAKER_04

He does look dead.

SPEAKER_01

He looks like a turtle.

SPEAKER_04

He doesn't look like he's alive.

SPEAKER_02

He looks like a guy from the Master of Disguise.

SPEAKER_04

It's an 84-year-old man.

SPEAKER_02

Wow, he's actually not that old. He was born limits.

SPEAKER_04

He was born a year after we entered World War II.

SPEAKER_02

I 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_01

I don't know if Obama would want to come back.

SPEAKER_02

No, but I if all of us write his name, the peer pressure him enough, they'll have to.

SPEAKER_04

Hold 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_02

Like, That's what I'm saying. He's he's saying third term, and I'm saying, yeah, buddy, do it.

SPEAKER_04

Um 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_05

Guys, yeah, I don't know. That's crazy.

SPEAKER_04

I 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_02

Yeah. Ever? They don't know about James Garfield then, huh?

SPEAKER_04

You 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_01

No, he had something like that. No, it wasn't after. There was a president. Wasn't it like a two weeks?

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, it was like the shortest.

SPEAKER_04

President who survived.

SPEAKER_05

Presidents that got shot and survived.

SPEAKER_04

A lot of presidents, yeah. Ronald Reagan.

SPEAKER_06

True, yeah, Trump. Allegedly. Who was the other guy that was a few years ago?

SPEAKER_04

William 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_05

The 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_02

What was the most interesting one? Go. Um polio.

SPEAKER_05

It 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_02

Abraham Lincoln had a meeting about Secret Service. Oh, really? Like the week he got killed.

SPEAKER_05

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04

The United States Secret Service was founded in on July 5th, 1865.

SPEAKER_02

And it was originally for counterfeiting that.

SPEAKER_05

And 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_02

There it used to be an open door policy. Any any constituent of America could make an appointment to talk to the president.

SPEAKER_05

Which is crazy.

SPEAKER_02

And 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_05

Teddy 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_02

Yeah, crazy.

SPEAKER_05

Oh, 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_04

The 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_01

You 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_04

Oh, like uh, you think it's like a superstition. I think all the power goes to their heads. Yeah.

SPEAKER_05

No, 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_04

You 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_06

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04

Um, so it could just be that he eats like absolute garbage like a child. Surprisingly, like McDonald's every single day.

SPEAKER_02

That became like American.

SPEAKER_05

He's doing much better. He's gonna be a good thing. Don't worry, guys, we're talking about a diet.

SPEAKER_01

He only eats one person. He's certainly an American president.

SPEAKER_05

And he's up like super late.

SPEAKER_04

Like a snake meal.

SPEAKER_01

It's very horrible.

SPEAKER_05

Oh, for sure.

SPEAKER_02

Snake meal. Yeah, snake meal. The president eats.

SPEAKER_05

I 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_04

Because 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_05

But 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_04

They'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_02

I know.

SPEAKER_04

I know it could be lobster every day.

SPEAKER_02

It 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_04

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02

I'm saying the president of the United States eats lobster every day. That's where your tax dollars are going.

SPEAKER_04

First 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_02

I'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_03

Yeah, you are you currently are. I just want to say, you are now. So I'll be giving the country a service.

SPEAKER_02

Immediately.

SPEAKER_05

If 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_02

Get it out and arrest her ass now.

SPEAKER_04

Arrest her. Throw her in the brig.

SPEAKER_05

If 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_03

My first hundred days is like a hundred things I'm gonna do to mess with Annie.

SPEAKER_02

I 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_03

And to think you could have been in Congress.

SPEAKER_02

What 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_04

Allegedly, 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_05

That is super weird. Are you gonna start doing that?

SPEAKER_01

If I was the president. Is that just cow breast milk? Hey everybody!

SPEAKER_04
