Okay, I had you took me down a rabbit hole, so I had to go do some research. Movies with built-in intermissions. Now Oh, I am curious on this one. Because the Odyssey is coming out July 17th. It's what did I say? Two hours fifty fifty-two minutes? That's a three-hour movie. I'm gonna have to pee at some point. Can you take the first 90 minutes and go, all right, everybody up? Uh, we'll play uh seven minutes of music and come on back and we'll pick it up.
SPEAKER_01Or I love it when they do that movie trivia. You know when you go to the movie theater and before the movie starts, they have all the different movie trivia. Like, who was the mom in home alone?
SPEAKER_00Yeah, right. Well, but you gotta be careful because you gotta get people out of the room to go pee and then come back. So you see what I'm saying? You're right. You don't want to do because the way they used to do it was you would hear like the orchestra that would play the music that that they'd come in and play some beautiful suite from the soundtrack.
SPEAKER_01But what if wow, that is so lovely.
SPEAKER_00Thank you.
SPEAKER_01But what if I have a bladder like a steel trap? Like me? Yeah, yeah, yeah. You're a good one.
SPEAKER_00Take a seven-minute nap. I don't know.
SPEAKER_01Well, I was thinking that's what the trivia would be for. Okay, cool.
SPEAKER_00All right. I was at I Yes, Gone with the Wind. Why? Because that movie was three hours and 58 minutes long. You might need two intermissions. Yes. Now, a lot of these, I'm gonna be honest with you. Some of them are pretty old, but the second one I'm gonna mention right here is a movie you reference quite often. Fantasia had one. They did? Yeah. It was with a built-in a series of uh eight famous pieces of classical music conducted by whatever his name is. And they so they they ended up uh having a built-in intermission in that movie. Um here's one from '84 Once Upon a Time in America. Uh I can't remember that one. This list goes on and on. Mighty Python's Holy Grail had one, but that wasn't a long movie.
SPEAKER_01Um I wonder why they did that though. Let me find out where because they they they said, Oh, we can't have that much cheesy comedy.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, right. Cheesy comedy all at once. You need a break from it. That could be. Uh Gandhi from 82, three hours and 11 minutes. You have to get up and go pee. Uh Dances with Wolves, three hours and one minute. Had a built-in intermission. Nice. Uh okay, we're going way back in time again. Ben Heard, Dr. Jivago, they were long. The Ten Commandments, three hours and 40 minutes. You think that I didn't have to pee? Let my bladder go. Um, let's see. The greatest show on earth from uh oh, that's from 52. I was thinking of the one with um Oh, the greatest showman, Hugh Jackman. Uh The Sound of Music, which a lot of people saw that had it. See, a lot of people have seen these movies out of theaters. They were either on television or you saw them on, you know, a streaming thing. TV. You can pause anywhere. Let me find a a a more And then I have to tell you a fun fact about flying. Yeah, I'm just looking to see where well go ahead, tell me that. I'll see if I can find one that's a little bit more current time.
SPEAKER_01Okay, so when you're thinking of flying and you put your you put you always put your luggage up above, right? Did you know flight attendants will sometimes sleep above the passengers?
SPEAKER_00Get out of here!
SPEAKER_01A British flight attendant who has spent 25 years working both short hauls and long hauls recently said that you don't know this, but there's a hidden crew sleeping quarters built into the aircraft that's above you guys.
SPEAKER_00No way.
SPEAKER_01Yes, crew members on ultra-long haul flights are given scheduled rest periods so they can safely continue working during journeys that can stretch well beyond the 13 hours. Think about if you're flying to Japan or something like that. And where do they sleep? Not in first class, no, no. Instead, they have concealed bunk areas tucked above or below the passenger cabin. She says, she goes on to say, sleeping spaces are long, narrow compartments that resemble something between a submarine bunk and a vampire's resting place. I think I could fall asleep in that.
SPEAKER_00Let alone fall asleep anywhere. Yes. Uh no, but think about it. You get bumps of turbulence and stuff like that, like your face smacking off whatever's right above you.
SPEAKER_01Me sleeping in a plane. Well, I think part of that is too, is we grew up sleeping on a tour bus. So I'm used to the the a vehicle moving. But think about how when your kids were babies, you if they were getting cranky.
SPEAKER_00Oh, I was thinking you mentioned babies, take that screaming baby in the flight and just stuck him in the overhead compartment. That's a great idea.
