Speaker 1 1:16

Second movie filmed.

Speaker 2 1:17

Second movie filmed at the Centennial In Alpena at her building. Not in Alpena, I mean probably there's other movies.

Speaker 1 1:25

Yeah, Die Hard. Remember Back in the day.

Speaker 2 1:27

Yeah, that was so long ago, though, and they filmed at the airport only yeah. So what I like about this recent movie and the Harsin's Island movie is that they filmed all over Alpena. If you are from the area or if you have ever visited the area, just look for the landmarks.

Speaker 1 1:48

I saw the trailer and I was like holy shit, I know that, I know that, yeah, I was like oh cool, yeah, yeah, anyway.

Speaker 2 1:55

Speaker 2 2:10

Oh, what deal? What else do we want to talk about before we talk about the serious stuff? Oh that, what's going on in the sky? Oh, the northern lights keep checking. People keep checking. Look up the gorgeous pictures yesterday from all over northern michigan and I hear they are prevalent way south of us, like north carolina and ohio. I mean you have to get out of the city. You can't have the ambient light for sure.

Speaker 1 2:28

Right.

Speaker 2 2:29

But yes, check them out.

Speaker 1 2:31

I'm a stargazer, usually in the morning letting the dogs out, just stand out there. It's nice. So the topic is what?

Speaker 2 2:39

Is Dwayne the Rock Johnson.

Speaker 1 2:42

Well, this is hero, we're done.

Speaker 2 2:43

Next, Do you have a crush on him? I don't think you can find anything.

Speaker 1 2:48

No, can't find anything bad about the guy, except he might be a big phony. He seems phony to me.

Speaker 2 2:54

Uh-oh, why does he seem phony to you? I don't know who acts like that all the time. Nobody's that. Nobody's that nice, nobody's that chiseled.

Speaker 1 3:02

He's an alien. He's probably really chiseled. He's an alien.

Speaker 2 3:06

I've been chiseling at the candy drawer, I know. So he's only 52? Yeah.

Speaker 1 3:14

His first wrestling name. What was it? Flex Gavana.

Speaker 2 3:20

I love the wrestling names.

Speaker 1 3:23

He played college football.

Speaker 2 3:25

Of course he did, for the University of Miami. But then what I read said that he didn't really play that much.

Speaker 1 3:30

I don't know why wouldn't you play him? I don't know, maybe he's a crappy football player, maybe I mean.

Speaker 2 3:36

I guess you could be a good wrestler and not be a good football player. Played football for University of Miami, florida and Miami.

Speaker 1 3:48

Yep.

Speaker 2 3:48

University of Miami.

Speaker 1 3:49

Miami. They won a championship in 1991.

Speaker 2 3:52

But then in 95, he was undrafted.

Speaker 1 3:56

You know he never went to the NFL, he didn't even yeah, he didn't make the NFL.

Speaker 2 3:59

I wonder if he would have made the NFL life's going to change.

Speaker 1 4:05

Yeah, he could have been poor compared to what he is. Did you get his net worth?

Speaker 2 4:08

I did not but I bet it's like a zillion dollars. He's in every movie. It's like the law. Now, okay, did you put?

Speaker 1 4:17

The Rock in there. Yeah, we did oh that was the one bad thing I thought about him, but we'll get to it. It wasn't bad.

Speaker 2 4:23

He did sign after college. He did sign with the Calgary Stampeders.

Speaker 1 4:29

Mm-hmm.

Speaker 2 4:29

But he was cut the first season, yep, wah, wah, terrible.

Speaker 1 4:33

Man, you played in the Canadian League didn't you, Farrell I? Did. Yeah, Well, I managed Hockey Hockey ball team that played hockey.

Speaker 2 4:41

I did. I love Canada.

Speaker 1 4:43

Yeah, eh.

Speaker 2 4:44

Uh, love them, they are not dicks at all. You know, he's a third generation wrestler. Well, is he the third? He is the third, so he has a daughter who wrestles.

Speaker 1 4:57

I know Really. Yeah, You're making it up.

Speaker 2 4:59

I am not.

Speaker 1 5:00

His grandfather, the high chief, was a wrestler.

Speaker 2 5:04

That was his name, the high chief wrestler Mm-hmm. His name was Peter.

Speaker 1 5:07

Mavia.

Speaker 2 5:09

But I knew his dad was.

Speaker 1 5:11

Rocky Johnson.

Speaker 2 5:12

Rocky, mm-hmm, that's weird.

Speaker 1 5:16

Is it. Drop the Y Now, you're just the rock.

Speaker 2 5:19

Oh, oh, I didn't even put that together. Apparently, I have a rock in my head.

Speaker 1 5:26

You know, going back to the canadian football league, there, when he uh got chit-canned he started, um, his own production company called seven bucks productions and is it still in production? Probably not, but he started it because he only had seven dollars left oh, very clever.

Speaker 2 5:40

see, he's resourceful, he's resourceful, he's resourceful.

Speaker 1 5:44

Yeah, he is.

Speaker 2 5:48

And his dad was Rocky Johnson. I didn't get his mother's name. I just wrote she was Samoan. Well, that's rude of me. I'm sure she has a name.

Speaker 1 5:55

Yeah, probably.

Speaker 2 5:56

Sorry, Mrs Johnson.

Speaker 1 5:59

Isn't that a song? Sorry, Ms Johnson.

Speaker 2 6:02

I don't think so. It is now, though I'm going to write her a song. Sorry, ms Johnson, I don't think so. It is now, though I'm going to write her a song. So let's see what else. So of course he was a wrestler before he was an actor. He was a wrestler for a long time. His uncle was a wrestler. His mom's adoptive dad was a wrestler. Of course his dad was a wrestler. His maternal grandmother was a wrestler promoter. Course, his dad was a wrestler. His maternal grandmother was a wrestler promoter.

Speaker 1 6:28

You gotta be kidding. You're making this up. That's a long line. It's in his lineage.

Speaker 2 6:31

Why wouldn't he be a wrestler, right, you know, he kind of had to be. And now he has a daughter who's 23. Her name is Simone. She wrestles. Guess what her wrestler name is. It's kind of boring, actually, simone. No, it's Ava Rain.

Speaker 1 6:47

Ava Rain.

Speaker 2 6:48

Ava Rain, ava Rain, ava Rain on you.

Speaker 1 6:55

Well, that's cool, good for her.

Speaker 2 6:56

Yeah, so how long did he wrestle? Did you find that out?

Speaker 1 7:03

It wasn't until 25. I don't know.

Speaker 2 7:07

He was in the WWF for eight years, but I think he wrestled for longer than that.

Speaker 1 7:14

Yeah.

Speaker 2 7:14

I'm sure he did.

Speaker 1 7:16

Um, what was I going to say?

Speaker 2 7:20

And his biggest wrestling feud was with Stone Cold, steve Austin.

Speaker 1 7:28

Oh.

Speaker 2 7:29

Is he a football?

Speaker 1 7:29

player too.

Speaker 2 7:30

Probably. I mean they are.

Speaker 1 7:31

I saw that guy the other day. Oh wait, no, I'm thinking of the other one.

Speaker 2 7:34

You're thinking of John Cena Goldberg? Who, goldberg? There's no Jewish wrestlers.

Speaker 1 7:40

Goldberg, I swear to God. Anyway, go ahead Now who he's fighting with.

Speaker 2 7:45

He was, that was his feud.

Speaker 1 7:48

Oh, his nemesis, or whatever.

Speaker 2 7:50

Feud. I'm saying in air quotes Like you and Cher. Hulk Hogan the Hurricane and John Cena was his other. You know, john Cena, I love John Cena. He's not a dick, john Cena, I love John Cena. He's not a dick, he might be.

Speaker 1 8:06

No, he's not. He seems phony too.

Speaker 2 8:08

No, he's not. He speaks like three languages.

Speaker 1 8:10

Phony below. He speaks three languages. Google it I will. Maybe he uses Duolingo.

Speaker 2 8:18

Maybe, but John was his nemesis. And then they paired up together and conquered the wrestling world.

Speaker 1 8:26

You're a big wrestling fan.

Speaker 2 8:29

I had my Hulk Hogan days. I did.

Speaker 1 8:32

Did you like the Ultimate Warrior?

Speaker 2 8:34

I don't know. I was like the era that I watched it. It was Hulk Hogan.

Speaker 1 8:40

Andre the Giant.

Speaker 2 8:40

Andre the Giant Junkyard Dog Cassidy had the Giant Junkyard Dog. Cassidy had a puzzle of Junkyard Dog who gets a puzzle of wrestling being Junkyard Dog.

Speaker 1 8:49

I wish we had it now. Cassidy, what about Randy Macho man Savage? Randy Macho man Savage, yeah.

Speaker 2 8:54

Of course, yeah. So that was my short abbreviated era of wrestling. That's pretty good. Abbreviated era of wrestling that's pretty good. It was okay.

Speaker 1 9:06

He's a 10-time world champ in the WWE Wow.

Speaker 2 9:10

I don't know, does that sound like a big deal?

Speaker 1 9:14

It's gotta be, you know.

Speaker 2 9:17

One thing I wanted to say about college before we got too far out from it was as a teen. Dwayne was a little troubled, got in some trouble.

Speaker 1 9:28

Oh good.

Speaker 2 9:28

And he talked about depression and trouble. But he got his shit together and went to college.

Speaker 1 9:36

Nice.

Speaker 2 9:37

And then he was an advocate for mental health and for teens. You know getting a second chance, so that's good on him.

Speaker 1 9:47

Yeah, I like that.

Speaker 2 9:51

What else?

Speaker 1 9:53

He's got a foundation. You know you're talking about this good stuff and you're saying about the mental health, but he also has a charity foundation focused on terminally ill children.

Speaker 2 10:01

Oh yeah, Is it him who's granted more make-a-wishes than anyone, so yeah, I would have to. Let's just say, yeah, he did yeah, it was him so that was. That's a big deal. I mean to give back because not everybody does that. Everybody says they do or makes a flurry in production and publicity when they do something. But I think he does it all the time, just not always under the camera.

Speaker 1 10:29

Right, speaking of camera, he's in the Guinness Book of World Records because of the camera. He has the world record for taking the most selfies in three minutes 105 selfies in three minutes.

Speaker 2 10:46

Okay, that kind of makes me not like him.

Speaker 1 10:47

He did it at the premiere, but he did it with fans. Oh, when he was in the movie San Andreas.

The Rock's Diverse Ventures

Speaker 2 10:54

Alt. I don't know, maybe it was just San Andreas. Did you know he has the star of the Hollywood Walk of Fame?

Speaker 1 11:01

No.

Speaker 2 11:02

It's true.

Speaker 1 11:03

Who's he next to? I don't know. They do alphabetically no.

Speaker 2 11:06

I think they just throw him where he can now. He didn't get it until 22, so How's yours doing Keeping it polished up?

Speaker 1 11:16

I have to do something first.

Speaker 2 11:18

I would never put my foot in there. Where In the Hollywood Walk of Fame, put your foot in the mud?

Speaker 1 11:22

I would never put my foot in there.

Speaker 2 11:23

Where In the Hollywood Walk of Fame, put your foot in the mud?

Speaker 1 11:25

Why wouldn't you?

Speaker 2 11:26

Well, my feet are too big and ugly. Yeah, whatever, leaving Sasquatch print.

Speaker 1 11:32

No, thank you.

Speaker 2 11:35

You didn't talk about his signature smell. I didn't, for a reason.

Speaker 1 11:38

His favorite, cologne, is called Creed.

Speaker 2 11:42

Maybe that's why his catchphrase is can you smell?

Speaker 1 11:45

what the rock is cooking that was his catchphrase.

Speaker 2 11:49

I wonder what it smells like.

Speaker 1 11:51

Creed.

Speaker 2 11:52

What does Creed smell like? I mean like, is it an earthy tone or a woodsy tone?

Speaker 1 11:57

Or like a sweaty boxer Citrus. Yeah, like a wrestler sweat. I don't know, I'm just. This is what the production crew gave me to read. Nathan Better notes please.

Speaker 2 12:10

Did you know he is the co-owner of the United Football League.

Speaker 1 12:14

Nathan is.

Speaker 2 12:15

No, Nathan doesn't do jack.

Speaker 1 12:17

I noticed.

Speaker 2 12:18

I would believe that and he also has the Seven Bucks Production Company, so he must still have it. Tequila, terramana, what he owns, a tequila.

Speaker 1 12:29

He's a booze bag.

Speaker 2 12:30

People make big money off tequila.

Speaker 1 12:32

We should make a tequila. Look at Sammy Hager. I don't even drink.

Speaker 2 12:35

That's probably how they do it Cabo.

Speaker 1 12:36

Speaker 1 14:19

Right.

Speaker 2 14:22

In the meantime, he's an actor Highest grossing movies in the past five years. I just made that fact up, but I'm pretty sure it's true $2 billion globally for Fast and Furious and Jumanji. And his first movie was Tooth Fairy. Oh no, but good guess, the Mummy Returns, not the Mummy, the Mummy Returns.

Speaker 1 14:47

The Mummy? Well, the first one was Brendan Fraser.

Speaker 1 16:48

Yeah, movies you were talking about.

Speaker 2 16:53

I think I tapped out my knowledge on that.

Speaker 1 16:55

Okay.

Speaker 2 16:56

But he does have a new movie out and it looked pretty good. It's called Red One, two words, red One, and they fight against Krampus. You know, krampus, the Santa, the opposite of Santa. Yeah, yeah, so that could be fun. Chris Evans, lucy Liu, really JK Simmons, the guy from the insurance commercials. Oh, the tough guy um, this is an old, bald guy oh, that's not him j, that's jk simmons oh, jk simmons from um he's invented a lot

Speaker 2 17:34

of stuff yeah, that guy, um, so that's our new movie that's coming out, or his new movie that's coming out. And the only other fact that I have that we didn't get to was he has US slash Canadian citizenship because his dad was Canadian. That's a good thing to have. It is Especially in this day and age Can we get to. So look he could be president of U president of US or prime minister of Canada.

Speaker 1 18:07

King of the world.

Speaker 2 18:10

He could rule. I could do them both at the same time, and that would be.

Speaker 1 18:16

North America would be a lock.

Speaker 2 18:17

North America.

Speaker 1 18:19

We'll check into it.

Speaker 2 18:21

I'd hate to lose Justin Trudeau, though he's so dreamy.

Speaker 1 18:23

Justin Trudeau yeah, doesn's so dreamy Justin Trudeau? Yeah, doesn't he have bad teeth?

Speaker 2 18:27

No.

Speaker 1 18:28

I'm thinking of Hugh Grant. He just played a prime minister in a movie. He did play it in a. Love Actually, love Actually. That's a good movie.

Speaker 2 18:36

That's the best Christmas movie.

Speaker 1 18:38

Speaker 1 18:55

Just thinking about it. It's tough being a woman.

Speaker 2 18:56

Emma hang in there. Okay, Hi, Emma. So what do we say about Dwayne?

Speaker 1 19:02

I don't know. It's only 20 minutes in.

Speaker 2 19:08

What else you got about?

Speaker 1 19:08

him. I don't know. I mean, there were a few things that he gets backlash for, but nothing serious. One thing is his cheat meals. He'll do videos about his cheat meals, meaning you know when you're not watching your diet during the, you know, because he works out a lot and he'll eat like a mountain of pancakes and show people you know, and so he's getting flack for that. But it's like have you seen the guy? Do you realize he works out every day, yeah.

Speaker 2 19:36

If I eat a mountain of pancakes, I lay on the couch. But I'm guessing that he doesn't do that.

Speaker 1 19:42

No, you know people. You've got to wonder. Hollywood people, musicians, famous people they get this. Why listen to people in Hollywood. What do they know? They don't know anything about politics. They don't know anything about anything. You're out of your fucking mind. Those people are up and at it before anybody in the world. They exercise, they take care of most people and they're fucking just like go, go, go go go.

Speaker 2 20:06

They have to to keep that lifestyle. Yeah, I don't know, I wouldn't do it. I would never want to be famous like even the kind of unfamous person. Never want to be famous.

Speaker 1 20:20

I don't want to switch gears too much, but I do it all the time, and I'll talk about your ex, jason Bateman.

Speaker 2 21:06

So um Is Ozarks on Netflix too.

Speaker 1 21:09

I don't know if it's, it should still be, because it's a.

Speaker 2 21:10

Netflix. Thing.

Speaker 1 21:11

Have you watched it all?

Speaker 2 21:12

No, son of a bitch, I need to. And then we're going to have a whole episode about maybe two About Ozarks.

Speaker 1 21:20

Easily.

Speaker 2 21:21

Do you want to contribute to my Netflix subscription?

Speaker 1 21:24

Sure, okay, I'll give you my username and password that works. And he also got some flack. They said that his Black Adam movie that was supposed to be a major hit was a piece of crap. You know, and they said it was.

Speaker 2 21:38

I don't think you can really. What did they say?

Speaker 1 21:40

He pushed too much of his own creative control.

Speaker 2 21:43

Here's what I think about that Did every book that Stephen King write a masterpiece? No, no, did every painting that Picasso do was a masterpiece?

Speaker 1 21:55

You could ask Picasso. He'd say yes, remember, he was a dick, he was yeah.

Speaker 2 22:00

But I say no, Pablo, no, yeah, Pablo, and you know if you do this massive body of work.

Speaker 1 22:09

He's got a massive body how about like Tom Hanks you know all of his stuff.

Speaker 2 22:13

I mean, yeah, most of it's good.

Speaker 1 22:16

What did Tom Hanks do? That was bad.

Speaker 2 22:18

Oh, ask Cassidy, she doesn't care for it.

Speaker 1 22:22

Oh, she's home eating some wet cereal right now. Sorry, cassidy, you doesn't care for it. Oh, she's home eating some wet cereal right now, Sorry.

Speaker 2 22:27

Cassidy, you can't say moist either. Moist, oh no, sorry, cassidy, I don't know what he. I like him, I enjoy his stuff.

Speaker 1 22:33

That makes.

Speaker 2 22:34

You know I didn't really like the man Called Ob. I never watched it.

Speaker 1 22:37

See, that's a remake.

Speaker 2 22:45

Well, I read the book and I didn't really like the book. But he has a new movie coming out with Robin Wright Penn. Yeah Well, she dropped the pen.

Speaker 1 22:54

But they were in For a Skunk together, jenny.

Speaker 2 22:56

Jenny.

Speaker 1 22:59

Jenny, I don't know. There's other stuff, but it's really not that important. I think I'm going to watch Black Adam now, though, just because people panned it.

Speaker 2 23:07

Yeah. So I say. So what you know, if you make 20 movies and one is like, oh, we don't like that one, Well, that's pretty good odds.

Speaker 1 23:15

Right, and you know what? This is why I think the Rock's a hero, because he's probably listening to this too. I think he would do our podcast.

Speaker 2 23:24

He probably would. I didn't think to ask him to do no.

Speaker 1 23:28

Nathan, maybe we should ask before.

Speaker 2 23:32

We assume he'll do it.

Speaker 1 23:33

So you're going to say hero.

Speaker 2 23:35

I would say overall hero yeah.

Speaker 1 23:37

I mean.

Speaker 2 23:37

I couldn't find anything that made him a dick. I think that some people might think he's a bit full of himself or what you know. Now, that's not even the right term, but arrogant a little bit, but he's the rock, I mean he kind of can be yeah if he doesn't have confidence in himself, who, what? His mom, his mom and dad, probably His family Parents have your back If they're good parents. They got your back.

Speaker 1 24:05

Yeah.

Speaker 2 24:05

Not everybody has that kind of parent FYI. But I bet the Rock's kids feel like he has their back.

Speaker 1 24:15

Man. I didn't know he had so many wrestlers in his family.

Speaker 2 24:18

Yeah, that's kind of weird, isn't it?

Speaker 1 24:19

It's really cool.

Speaker 2 24:21

Yeah, sure, I mean, everybody has a family dynasty, why not be wrestling? Yeah, so I call him a hero as well.

Speaker 1 24:29

I do too, and so does Nathan, and now you have this list.

Speaker 2 24:33

I do have a list and somebody, one of our loyal listeners, asked how many. So we've done 17 shows, oh, I'm sorry. Two seasons, 17 each.

Speaker 1 24:47

We've done 34?.

Speaker 2 24:48

Yeah, that's what it adds up to it does. Out of all of those shows, how many do you think we said the people were dicks? Are you looking?

Speaker 1 25:01

at one of them. I mean the list. How many are dicks Are you looking at?

Speaker 2 25:01

one, I mean the list.

Speaker 1 25:03

How many are dicks out of 34? 15.

Speaker 2 25:12

Five.

Speaker 1 25:13

Really.

Speaker 2 25:14

Yeah, the first season everybody.

Speaker 1 25:18

Only 15 out of 34.

Speaker 2 25:19

Yeah, the first season some people were dickish, but overall they weren't dicks. You know, they did enough good that it wiped out the bad. Wow, who were the dicks? And AI could have went either way and some other people could have went either way, so I didn't count them as dicks.

Speaker 1 25:37

Okay, just clear dicks. That's what we need.

Speaker 2 25:41

That's weird. That's what we need clear dicks, that would. That's. That's weird. That's an art project okay so in season two we had pablo picasso, uh, the mafia, which they actually had some hero aspects because, we said we get a lot of movies and books out of them and they took care of their neighborhoods.

Speaker 1 25:59

but but overall, and that guy showed up here telling us we had to save the air.

Speaker 2 26:04

Overall, we would save the air dicks, although we'd love them, yeah, If they come here.

Speaker 1 26:09

Bullish.

Speaker 2 26:10

And weddings.

Speaker 1 26:13

Yeah, you really don't like them. I don't. I love weddings. You love weddings? No, I don't.

Speaker 2 26:17

No, nobody loves weddings. No, I shouldn't say that Some people live for weddings, but no, overall they're a dick. Amusement parks a couple good things about them, but not enough to make them not a dick.

Speaker 1 26:29

No.

Speaker 2 26:29

And the other one was an obvious serial killer. We said they were heroes. People would come and kill us.

Speaker 1 26:37

Yeah, they would yeah. Pretty clear cut on that one. It is that one, pretty clear cut on that one it is.

Speaker 2 26:42

That one's pretty clear cut In the first season, though I couldn't find any that were dicks. Johnny Depp, you know you kind of act like a dick depending on who you ask, but overall UFOs, I don't think they're dicks.

Speaker 1 26:56

No, they're just experimenting. Ai scary, but not dicks yeah it's just scary because we're ignorant about it.

Speaker 2 27:02

Right, right, you know Bob Hope. I thought he was going to be a big dick. Nope, and people don't even know who he is anymore.

Speaker 1 27:13

He did some dickish things. He did, he did. He was Bob Hope.

Speaker 2 27:15

But overall he was okay.

Speaker 1 27:17

Mm-hmm.

Speaker 2 27:18

Mm-hmm. So that is the tally on that.

Well, yeah, we still should.

Speaker 1 28:56

That's really not remote Down the road.

Speaker 2 28:57

Down the streets half a block away. Well, we'll have to think on that and if you guys have any ideas, send them to us.
