Okay. Headless underwear.

SPEAKER_02 1:15

SPEAKER_04 1:22

Yeah, let's do it.

SPEAKER_00 1:25

Two married friends in little basement room, surrounded by blankies, and two microphones. They got in a car crash. She died in his arms. He kissed her lips.

SPEAKER_04 1:54

I guess you better do it again. Take two.

SPEAKER_02 2:06

Is that uh that's my best uh uh eight violins at the same time going dramatically she's she's uh she's leaving home leaving home.

SPEAKER_04 2:16

Good news to the listener is I am still sick and may periodically be coughing, sniffing, and all those things, and I'll try to do my best to do them off cam. Off mic, I mean.

SPEAKER_02 2:24

Off mic. I will uh I am not sniffling that much.

SPEAKER_04 2:29

Congratulations.

SPEAKER_02 2:30

Although I feel like I have ladybugs all over me. Yeah, well serious, serious freaking ladybug trap. Do you want to tell the piece in Ohio?

SPEAKER_04 2:36

Do you want to tell the good people of the audience about our ladybug trap?

SPEAKER_00 2:40

Yeah, but first let me move this mob.

SPEAKER_04 2:44

Hey, don't you don't you want to move it?

SPEAKER_02 2:50

Did I do it? Did I just sing your part?

SPEAKER_04 2:53

Uh bye, bye. I'm already done with that.

SPEAKER_02 2:57

Sorry, just kidding. We'll save it for the end. I'm sorry, Leslie doesn't feel feel very well. I think it's ladybugs. She thinks she's had a cold.

SPEAKER_04 3:08

I'd say Do you think there's ladybugs inside my ear use station tubes?

SPEAKER_02 3:12

I bet there's at least two.

SPEAKER_04 3:14

Oh, there probably are.

SPEAKER_02 3:15

There aren't, I don't know. But I bet there's at least two ladybug legs.

SPEAKER_04 3:19

Stop.

SPEAKER_02 3:19

Japan Asian Asian beetles. What's the name for the Asian Lady Beetles?

SPEAKER_04 3:25

I don't know. They're the worst, though. Tell us about the trap. Tell us the multi-use lights.

SPEAKER_02 3:29

There's some people that aren't gonna like this.

SPEAKER_04 3:30

Well, they probably left when you said that you kissed a dead body at the very beginning. So they're probably gone.

SPEAKER_02 3:36

That's a lot of people who have uh don't have a problem with uh kissing dead bodies. Apparently not. Hang on.

SPEAKER_04 3:45

It is a catch-all. The audience, as in everyone in the audience, is not gonna like this. So something in something we're gonna say, you're not gonna like it.

SPEAKER_02 3:52

Let me just take a quick jump. Are you gonna talk about Jonathan Brandis at all today?

SPEAKER_04 3:56

I don't. Yeah, I might.

SPEAKER_02 3:58

Really?

SPEAKER_04 3:59

Yeah, now that you brought it up.

SPEAKER_02 4:01

Okay. Okay. Never mind. I was gonna talk about ladybugs.

SPEAKER_04 4:04

No, you can talk about it.

SPEAKER_02 4:05

That's not what you meant.

SPEAKER_04 4:06

No.

SPEAKER_02 4:06

Okay. Yeah, so we have ladybugs literally by the thousands. Yeah. Part of that is because we need new screens.

SPEAKER_04 4:13

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 4:13

Um, and probably need to seal our windows. Something like that. A little bit better. Um, but they get in the house, they get in my gym. I think I'm allergic to them. I break out in rashes and stuff. Like I could it's hot. Yeah, it's a big oh, it's hot. Like it's a good light.

SPEAKER_04 4:28

Like when you have rashes.

SPEAKER_02 4:28

Yeah, you you're a big rash girl. I am.

SPEAKER_04 4:30

I've always been into rashes.

SPEAKER_02 4:37

Okay, so uh I've been trying to find a way to get to eradicate our ladybug problem.

SPEAKER_04 4:43

Erashicate.

SPEAKER_02 4:44

Erasicate. And uh I found uh a little recipe online. You take a turkey, what do you call that?

SPEAKER_04 4:52

A disposable foil pan.

SPEAKER_02 4:54

Disposable foil pan.

SPEAKER_04 4:55

You don't have to just cook turkey in it.

SPEAKER_02 4:57

No, you could cook ladybug.

SPEAKER_04 4:58

You're not gonna be allowed to cook anything in the one that we were using for the ladybug trap.

SPEAKER_02 5:02

We'll see. There's plenty of I use anyways, I use Dawn. I take I take a little, a small layer of water.

SPEAKER_03 5:07

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 5:08

And I put some Dawn in there, like dish soap.

SPEAKER_03 5:10

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 5:11

So we so we can use it again.

SPEAKER_03 5:12

Oh, oh, you're right.

SPEAKER_02 5:13

Yeah. Um, and then I take one of these 17 lights. I need to start singing about the lights on our theme song.

SPEAKER_04 5:20

Uh why?

SPEAKER_02 5:21

Because we're surrounded by really more lights than microphones.

SPEAKER_04 5:24

That's true. That is true. We're surrounded by five.

SPEAKER_02 5:26

And there are blankies.

SPEAKER_04 5:28

Five lights? Five lights. And a few ladybugs have joined us here today. So at least ten. I can see at least ten ladybugs on these lights.

SPEAKER_02 5:41

I take the light and then I shine it down on the uh temporary or disposable turkey.

SPEAKER_04 5:48

On the ladybug bath.

SPEAKER_02 5:49

On the ladybug bath. And and then I turn off all the lights in the party room.

SPEAKER_04 5:56

Which is painted black, so it's a very dark room.

SPEAKER_02 5:58

Congregating. Yes, it is. And then I go to bed, and then when I wake up, there are this morning hundreds of dead ladybugs swimming.

SPEAKER_04 6:12

Swimming, not so much.

SPEAKER_02 6:13

They're getting ready for a little spin-off of our concert.

SPEAKER_04 6:15

They are they're gonna get a little bit more.

Concert Premise And Beatles Tease

SPEAKER_02 6:16

What's the uh off-Broadway version? This is like off Broadway. Off off. I think. That's when you start getting more of the animals coming in than the celebrities.

SPEAKER_04 6:24

That's right. That's right.

SPEAKER_02 6:25

You want to tell them about our concert and then our show?

SPEAKER_04 6:27

Sure. Or should we talk about the show? Well, we have a concert. No, the concert obviously featured.

SPEAKER_02 6:31

Obviously.

SPEAKER_04 6:31

It's more we're gonna be hosting a concert and it's gonna be featuring mostly people from Beyond the Grave.

SPEAKER_02 6:36

Hosted by Well, they won't be Beyond the Grave. Well, I guess they will. They'll be above it.

SPEAKER_04 6:42

Well, they're dead. Most of the time.

SPEAKER_02 6:44

Should we call it Above the Grave? The audience won't like it presents Above the Grave.

SPEAKER_04 6:47

Above the Grave. Yeah. No, I don't know how that makes sense to you. I feel that I'm above the grave.

SPEAKER_02 6:54

No, but it's like like figuratively speaking.

SPEAKER_04 6:57

So it's gonna be like a world benefit type concert. I mean, we're not going to be collecting money for anything, but it's gonna have like lots of you know people you recognize, like Kitty Wells and George Takai, they're gonna be the hosts, and most of the people that we cover are gonna be there.

SPEAKER_02 7:11

Mm-hmm.

SPEAKER_04 7:11

So anyway, and and so which brings Two Beatles. Two of the Beatles, yeah.

SPEAKER_02 7:15

Honestly, if um Ringo and Paul wanted to come, this is 2026, March, they're still alive.

SPEAKER_03 7:23

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 7:23

So if you're listening to this later with after they've died, they can definitely come. If you're listening to before they die, we can they can still come. Yeah, they can be the audience. I just wanted to make sure that the audience was.

SPEAKER_04 7:35

Oh, and a lot of the a lot, we kind of have slowed down on this, but a lot of those people are gonna be riding in on various things.

SPEAKER_02 7:41

Oh yes. So there's plenty of ladybugs.

SPEAKER_04 7:44

Ringo Star, he's still with us, right?

SPEAKER_02 7:46

Um, yeah.

SPEAKER_04 7:47

He can ride in on an octopus after he dies.

SPEAKER_02 7:49

Oh my gosh, absolutely. Like the octopus from the Goonies.

SPEAKER_04 7:53

I don't remember that.

SPEAKER_02 7:54

We may be talking a little bit about Josh Broland today.

SPEAKER_04 7:57

Oh.

SPEAKER_02 7:58

Uh just a little. Just a little bit. Wow. Oh, speaking of my first crush.

SPEAKER_04 8:02

It's 1107.

SPEAKER_02 8:03

Okay.

SPEAKER_04 8:04

Okay. I just have to I'm the timekeeper, the official timekeeper.

SPEAKER_02 8:10

Broland. Broland. Uh what was I gonna say about him?

SPEAKER_04 8:14

I don't know, but let me introduce him to the city.

SPEAKER_02 8:15

He was in the Goonies. Oh, right. And there's an octopus. Well, and only the deleted scenes version.

SPEAKER_04 8:20

I was gonna say, I don't know what you're talking about.

SPEAKER_02 8:22

I was talking to can I just real quick before we say what our show's about? May I? Yes. Uh in the Goonies.

SPEAKER_04 8:29

Only if you're dead.

SPEAKER_02 8:29

In the T and T. So you know how like they used to uh I'm trying to register, I'm trying to process what you just said, but you know how they back when you'd have TV TVs on movies on TV.

SPEAKER_04 8:42

TVs on movies and movies on TV.

SPEAKER_02 8:44

They gotta make it be like two hours exactly or three hours.

SPEAKER_04 8:46

Oh right, right. So they cut things for commercial purposes.

SPEAKER_02 8:49

So they would add things too. Oh sometimes. And I don't know if that's why they did this or they just decided to delete it for whatever reason, but there is a scene in the Goonies that was always played on TNT or wherever the Goonies was played. But never on but never on cold winter time. Or belly buttons high. It it's for people who are really interested. Deep cut.

SPEAKER_04 9:10

Same point in deep cut.

SPEAKER_02 9:12

Uh I'd seen I I realized how many times I'd seen the TV version. Even though I have had it on BHS and DVD, but that's another one day you finally met. But I was talking to Rob the other day and Brad as well, I think.

SPEAKER_04 9:25

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 9:26

Uh two very much big 80s heads.

SPEAKER_01 9:28

Yes.

SPEAKER_02 9:29

And we were talking about the Goonies. I said, I mentioned the octopus scene.

SPEAKER_04 9:35

Did they pump your guts full of lead?

SPEAKER_02 9:37

Yeah. Now I I knew that this was not in the regular at this point. This is just a few weeks ago. So far. No, but I figured they probably know. Uh huh. You know, because I mean we can get into watching watching movies on TV and that whole culture that's lost. Um and uh, anyways, I showed it to them. They both both never seen it before. It blew their minds.

SPEAKER_04 10:02

Had they just woken up? Um like like was it like the first thing that they had to do when they got out of bed was watch something, some of a video that you wanted them to see?

SPEAKER_02 10:13

Yeah. Yeah. What uh that happened this morning.

SPEAKER_04 10:16

Rob made me watch the I don't know, was it like the opening scene of Robocop? I literally got I woke, my eyes woke up at 8.07. We'll get to it. And at 8 17, Rob was like, you need to watch this murder scene.

SPEAKER_02 10:32

Silly. We'll we'll bring it up again.

SPEAKER_04 10:34

Alright, so anyway, this is the audience won't like it. I'm Leslie Shoecraft. This is Rob Shoecraft, he's my married partner. Just give me a second to mess with this cord so I won't hit it again. I don't know why you never hit yours, and I always hit mine.

SPEAKER_02 10:47

Um, I tend to have mine up a little higher. I don't know if that's it, like the the elbow here.

SPEAKER_04 10:52

Sorry guys, joined.

SPEAKER_00 10:56

That'll just be a harp. Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo does therapy.

SPEAKER_04 11:00

So it helped. All right, sorry. Okay, I will I'll do my best not to touch it anymore. Okay. Audience won't like it. We have a podcast where we uh like to simulate the experience of waiting in line because who doesn't like to relive waiting in line?

SPEAKER_02 11:15

I like that that's what our elevator pitch has become. It's like it's a show about waiting in line. It's a line simulator.

SPEAKER_04 11:22

So in this particular line is a line waiting for the doors to open to a concert.

SPEAKER_02 11:27

Mm-hmm.

SPEAKER_04 11:28

And uh each week we go to see a new group. Singer, songwriter. This week it's the Beatles.

SPEAKER_02 11:36

It is.

SPEAKER_04 11:36

They're you might have heard of them. It's actually kind of appropriate we have these ladybugs crawling around everywhere. Um because they're like technically not because they're beetles.

SPEAKER_02 11:46

Yeah, I see what you're saying.

SPEAKER_04 11:47

But they're like the bee-eating spell teatles.

SPEAKER_02 11:50

Did you was your your uh realization of their spelling choice?

SPEAKER_04 11:54

On air, yes.

SPEAKER_02 11:55

That was on air that was a few episodes ago. It was amazing.

SPEAKER_04 11:58

It was um, it's one of those things it's one of those things where like the Beatles as a music group have always been in my consciousness and have always been their own thing. So I finally it it never occurred to me that they had taken some spelling cleverties. Yes. So anyway, but the catch to the waiting in line to see the Beatles is you guys are not gonna be seeing the Beatles. No, no, no. It's gonna be me and Rob. Here we are.

SPEAKER_02 12:30

Yeah, hi.

SPEAKER_04 12:31

So stay tuned because today we're doing a Beatles. And I'll be playing piano acoustic.

SPEAKER_02 12:37

Piano acoustic. Piano acoustic. Actually, not a plugged in keyboard.

SPEAKER_04 12:42

Technically, it's not plugged in, it's running on batteries.

SPEAKER_02 12:44

Oh my gosh. I'm so sorry.

SPEAKER_04 12:45

I mean, not even technically, like it is running on batteries.

SPEAKER_02 12:50

New fresh new batteries. You you heard it here first.

SPEAKER_04 12:52

So anyway, all right, so we got some stuff we gotta cover at the top, and then what we do when we wait in line, we usually find like a like a kind of like a uh main topic to talk about. Oh yeah.

SPEAKER_01 13:02

Yeah. Yeah.

Birthdays And Corrections Corner Update

SPEAKER_02 14:00

Oh, and I will treat it totally fine for the people out there who care about such things. Right.

SPEAKER_04 14:05

Uh they're probably the people that care about the dead ladybugs.

SPEAKER_02 14:08

Yes. They're like, we don't care about kids, but take care of your ladybug.

SPEAKER_04 14:12

Oh no, I said they're they are the people.

SPEAKER_02 14:14

Oh. There's probably some overlap of people who like children. Who said anything about dogs?

SPEAKER_04 14:22

Well, I was thinking of animals.

SPEAKER_02 14:24

We're talking about dogs, that's a different thing altogether. There's a ladybug.

SPEAKER_04 14:28

That dog has a name.

SPEAKER_02 14:29

The dog has a name. Less in peace.

SPEAKER_04 14:33

Alright, so anyway, happy birthday, Poppy.

SPEAKER_02 14:35

Happy birthday, Poppy.

SPEAKER_04 14:36

Thanks for being a wonderful father. Indeed.

SPEAKER_02 14:39

Thank you so much. Being a wonderful father-in-law, too. He listens.

SPEAKER_04 14:44

He does. He loves our shoes. He's a subscriber.

SPEAKER_02 14:46

No new subscribers this week.

SPEAKER_04 14:48

No comments either.

SPEAKER_02 14:49

No comments. It's okay.

SPEAKER_04 14:50

It's because I didn't Instagram. I will. I will. It's behind. I'm behind. I've been sick.

SPEAKER_02 14:56

You've been sick and we've been busy and whatever. Let's let's roll. All right. So this is uh just a quick reminder. We are not really talking about corrections corner for for those who've been with us a long time.

SPEAKER_04 15:07

Yeah. What episode are we on today?

SPEAKER_02 15:09

Uh 26.

SPEAKER_04 15:10

Oh my globby.

SPEAKER_02 15:12

Oh my goodness. Uh so the corrections corner is just where I go through and correct all the things and answer all the unanswered questions from the previous episode. We moved that to Instagram.

SPEAKER_04 15:23

We did.

SPEAKER_02 15:24

We will.

SPEAKER_04 15:25

I haven't actually done it yet.

SPEAKER_02 15:26

It was taking about 45 minutes, uh, an episode. It was becoming the episode. It was. So cut it out, shifted it. We'll see where it goes. Yep. Grow from here. Yep. It's a pruning, this is a gardening experience.

SPEAKER_04 15:37

Yeah, we need to discuss how you want that to look, but we'll come back to that.

SPEAKER_02 15:41

Yeah, we haven't actually done it yet.

SPEAKER_04 15:42

Right. I'm carrying the mantle on my own.

SPEAKER_02 15:46

I do have the whole full corrections ready to go, just because you want to bring it back. Nope. All right. Um uh Rob Mystic Corner. Oh is there anything in there? We were talking about Dana Play-Doh and she overdosed, and you asked if she overdosed on Play-Doh, and I kind of got it, but you had said it way earlier. And did I say it again? Like you said it again, you kind of brought it back. That's a good joke.

SPEAKER_04 16:10

If no one hears your joke or laughs at the first time, so the first rule of humor is to repeat it until someone laughs at it.

SPEAKER_02 16:15

I would ordinarily advise not to repeat it because there's almost always the more people there are, there's a chance that somebody heard it and it just wasn't funny. And now you're saying it twice, and now you just look like an idiot. Um, who just really wants to make people laugh. But it worked for you. This is a case where it worked for you.

SPEAKER_04 16:33

I knew that going in.

SPEAKER_02 16:35

Yeah. That's because it's hilarious to joke about that kind of thing. There's people that don't, there's people that don't care about poor Dana Play-Doh, who, by the way, Dana, you can come to our concert.

SPEAKER_05 16:45

Okay.

SPEAKER_02 16:45

Who died of a possibly a Play-Doh overdose. That's terrible. That's that was the joke. It's awful. It's non-toxic. But it's kind of fun. Um, and then you got the people who care about dogs, but not so much ladybugs. And then those who don't care that I stole a child and been treating it very well in my basement.

SPEAKER_04 17:05

As long as you're treating it well.

SPEAKER_02 17:07

Very well, and I will bring it back. It's like a big situation.

SPEAKER_04 17:09

Why do you want it?

SPEAKER_02 17:11

Um, it's like a big situation.

SPEAKER_04 17:14

First rule of humor.

SPEAKER_02 17:16

Yeah, you heard it. I'm just well, there's another rule. There's another rule. And this is of conversational humor specifically. Where if somebody doesn't think it's funny and it's just one and you know people heard it, you could turn, this is a meta thing, but you can turn the joke that no one thinks is funny and just beat people over the f over the head with it until they think that's funny. Yeah. But what you have to do is pick the least likely person that somebody would do that to in the group, and then everybody will think it's funny that you have made them, you've singled them out. So it doesn't matter what you say to them at that point. Teacher course. Are you still with us?

SPEAKER_04 17:52

Everybody's still with us. Is anyone still listening? Leave your comments below if you made it this far. It's like the late 10 minutes since I said what time it was.

SPEAKER_01 18:06

Being in your pants is cool.

SPEAKER_04 18:07

Alright. So, what you got for us before we hit hit in there?

SPEAKER_02 18:11

I'm rocking my uh Nalgene bottle here.

SPEAKER_04 18:13

Oh, yeah.

SPEAKER_02 18:14

Clark's like, this is cool. I'm like, this this is.

SPEAKER_04 18:16

That was so cool when we were in college. Remember I had one? Did you buy it for me?

SPEAKER_02 18:20

Did I? Did I buy it myself?

SPEAKER_04 18:21

Or did Laura and Laura and Uncle Dan buy it for me?

SPEAKER_02 18:23

Oh, I don't know. Okay, it sounds like something Uncle Dan would do.

Oppenheimer And Recent Watches

SPEAKER_04 18:26

Yeah. He probably has his OG. Mine actually, the lid cracked on mine. That's what happened.

SPEAKER_02 18:32

I'm thinking the first thing to go is gonna be the lid. Yeah. I always destroy my lids.

SPEAKER_04 18:35

Rob is real hard on his water bees.

SPEAKER_02 18:37

Very hard on my things.

SPEAKER_04 18:38

He's very hard on his things.

SPEAKER_02 18:40

Very hard on my things. It's true. Uh so I I started watching um Oppenheimer.

SPEAKER_04 18:49

SPEAKER_04 19:22

Oh.

SPEAKER_02 19:23

SPEAKER_04 19:29

And Ewan McGregor. And getting that right. Very few care about both.

SPEAKER_04 20:23

So do you like it so far? Is it a bicycle movie?

SPEAKER_02 20:26

It is a bicycle movie. A bicycle movie, by the way, are is movies that I tend to watch in 15 to 30 minute increments over the course of sometimes three weeks.

SPEAKER_04 20:34

Wow. I think uh it's not a bicycle riding.

SPEAKER_02 20:37

Watching movies that you specifically movies that you would never watch with me. That's correct. I figured on Oppenheimer, right? No interest.

SPEAKER_04 21:01

SPEAKER_02 21:52

Corrections Corner, Instagram. Uh yeah, thank you. Look it up. No, it's about the making of the it's about the Manhattan Project, the making of the of the Atomic bomb, like World War II era. But listen, if you can watch it Hindenburg. Hindenburg, thank you. If you could watch it as if it's fiction, I know it sounds weird, but if you could watch it as if it's just a fictional story, and this is you specifically, because I know you don't like truth.

SPEAKER_00 22:18

Truth. You don't like truth.

SPEAKER_02 22:21

Despite the X-Files episode we just talked about. Um tombs. Anyways, if you could uh if you could watch it as if it's like a fictional movie, I think you'd m enjoy it more because it's just it's neat how all these mines are getting. Of course, I've only again I've only watched an hour of it, so um we'll talk we'll talk off here. I'll see if you I'll give you one more shot to watch it with me.

SPEAKER_04 22:46

I don't want to.

SPEAKER_02 22:46

No?

SPEAKER_04 22:47

Okay.

SPEAKER_02 22:47

Okay.

SPEAKER_04 22:48

I just took my shot and shot it. I started I pumped its guts full of lead.

SPEAKER_02 22:54

I started uh what what what about you?

SPEAKER_04 22:57

Nothing. I've been sick and depressed and sad about it all week.

SPEAKER_02 23:00

I haven't done much media-wise. We haven't watched any shows together.

SPEAKER_04 23:04

No. Um Oh, I I am almost done with full but the new half second half of Bridgerton. Oh I have an hour and a half left, I think.

SPEAKER_01 23:12

What do you think?

SPEAKER_04 23:13

Well the second half of this season, which I think is the fourth season.

SPEAKER_02 23:19

Yeah. I know that for some reason.

SPEAKER_04 23:23

So that's good.

SPEAKER_02 23:24

Oh, good. I'll I I prefer that.

SPEAKER_04 23:27

Yeah. Um there's a lot of um storylines happening, which is not how the other Bridgertons have been. There's been a couple like side stories, but this one has some main a couple of the main characters are having some real story time.

SPEAKER_02 23:45

Oh. You like the first three a lot.

SPEAKER_04 23:48

Did you do you like this as much as I like the first and two a lot.

SPEAKER_02 23:51

Oh, okay.

SPEAKER_04 23:52

I didn't think the third one was convincing because I don't think I t personally did not ever feel like the the male lead in the third season actually cares about the girl that he's in love with.

SPEAKER_02 24:06

And that's not part of the appeal. He's not like too cool for school. Is he so much?

SPEAKER_04 24:09

No, but I mean, even when he does finally admit his feelings and go for it, I don't it the acting to me does not believe. I don't think he's a bad actor. I just don't believe it. So maybe that means he's a bad actor. I don't know. And like even now I don't believe it.

SPEAKER_02 24:23

I would say he's not good enough.

SPEAKER_04 24:25

He also Is he like Anakin Skywalker? This might be a personal problem, but he looks so much like Mr. Justin from the middle school here in town.

SPEAKER_02 24:34

Oh, that Mr.

SPEAKER_04 24:35

Just distracting. Yeah, I can't. And he's like, it just weirds me out a little bit. Mr.

unknown 24:42

Justin.

SPEAKER_02 24:44

That's the principal of the middle school here, yeah. And he is not to be confused with Mr. Justin from Event Horizon.

SPEAKER_04 24:49

Correct.

SPEAKER_02 24:49

But I also known as Baby Bear.

SPEAKER_04 24:51

Yeah. You should start calling him that. The real Mr. Justin.

SPEAKER_02 24:55

Just be confused. I feel bad about it.

SPEAKER_04 24:59

But see, that's the thing that's the nicest guy alone. This character is like that too, and he's very smiley. Like very pleasant, very nice. You know what? I don't think the real Mr. Justin is one-dimensional, but that's what I think I don't like about the character on the third season of Rederton. His name's Colin. Very one-dimensional.

SPEAKER_02 25:16

Okay.

SPEAKER_04 25:17

And I would say the first half of the fourth season.

SPEAKER_02 25:19

So you get some associative things going on.

SPEAKER_04 25:21

Very agenda-y.

SPEAKER_02 25:23

It's like why you don't like Windot Lake because one day you had to wait in traffic to get there or something like that. So now forever. Forever you hate it.

SPEAKER_04 25:32

I would never say so.

SPEAKER_02 25:33

Or I don't like guys named such and such because I knew one one time who was a jerk. That kind of thing.

SPEAKER_04 25:38

Yeah, exactly. It's human for you. If you've ever had a thought like that.

SPEAKER_02 25:43

I never have. Never have. You blew my mind when you first laid that on me.

SPEAKER_04 25:48

Are you serious? No. Oh.

SPEAKER_02 25:50

I just think it's funny.

SPEAKER_04 25:50

Anyway, what do you think?

SPEAKER_02 25:51

I think it's uh of course I'm guilty of it. I just think it's it's such an absurd thing. Like it just doesn't make any sense at all. But everybody knows what that's like.

SPEAKER_04 25:58

I also have been doing a lot of um deep dives into um self-lymphatic drainage.

SPEAKER_02 26:04

Go on. Well like trampolines and such?

SPEAKER_04 26:07

Uh yeah, that's something, but I'm not that I guess we have one. I could do it. I can jump on it. One of the uh just like that. Nope. I don't think I could qualify for a position in that field.

SPEAKER_02 26:19

Let's get you up there. Let's see, let's see, let's see what you can do.

SPEAKER_04 26:22

No, but at the very minimum, just taking a walk is really good for your lymphatic system. But then there's also like lots of like, you know, lymph massage you can do, but you have to do it the correct directions.

SPEAKER_02 26:34

You just got a massage for the first time, right?

SPEAKER_04 26:36

No, not the first time.

SPEAKER_02 26:37

I mean from the first time in a long time. Yeah. For the first time from the massage therapist.

SPEAKER_04 26:42

From a massage therapist.

SPEAKER_02 26:42

In particular.

SPEAKER_04 26:43

I've only ever had them from massage therapist. From this particular therapist, yep, and it was great.

SPEAKER_02 26:49

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 26:50

Shout out to Maria, who will probably never listen to this. Ever, ever, ever.

SPEAKER_02 26:54

But hey, if you do, you're welcome.

Lymph Drainage And Massage Talk

SPEAKER_04 26:57

Um I liked her because she didn't talk.

unknown 27:00

Oh.

SPEAKER_04 27:00

Don't talk to me while you're rubbing up my body. If you're a stranger. Then I'm paying.

SPEAKER_00 27:07

I like to do it. My hands feel kind of greasy right now.

SPEAKER_04 27:10

Oh, yeah, I know. See? Just want to pretend you're not a curse.

SPEAKER_03 27:15

Stop. Alright, anyway, back to you, Rob.

SPEAKER_02 27:17

Like tombs after rat handling. This is so great. I made that in the intro for the time to watch that. Um Sharp ends.

SPEAKER_04 27:27

I started reading Sharp Ends or listening to Is that what we were continuing to hear little snippets of yesterday in the clock?

SPEAKER_02 27:33

Yes. Yeah. You know, Clark liked it. Um it's a pretty uh it's pretty brutal. Like it's like a couple of things.

SPEAKER_04 27:40

Oh, he don't say Clark like that?

SPEAKER_02 27:42

He he said well, I started playing it, but it was playing like during like a fight scene, like a more action-oriented scene. When they're pretty brutal. Like I I've been starting to think the the I've I've I've seen critics, you know, in books they've some noteworthy critic will write the best books since such and such on the cover, and they always use a tagline. This is like Kirosawa meets Lord of the Rings or something.

SPEAKER_03 28:09

Oh, cool.

SPEAKER_02 28:10

I would say more, it's more like Sin City level. Sin City meets Game of Thrones meets Lord of the Rings. Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 28:18

Is there any redeeming characters in it?

SPEAKER_02 28:21

They're all redeemed, none of them are perfect. So it's like the Grimdark. Grimdark is the genre. I think uh Warhammer 40k is like one of the biggest examples of that genre. I've never read any of them. I'm going to at some point. We're gonna we're gonna be talking about them on the show. But there's no one's it's like Game of Thrones. No one's all good. Yeah. Uh there are definitely some that are way worse.

SPEAKER_04 28:42

No, he's pretty awesome.

SPEAKER_02 28:43

But the ones that are awful are usually pretty awesome too.

SPEAKER_04 28:45

Yeah, yeah. So do they have some great one-liners?

Grimdark Books And Jazz Listening

SPEAKER_02 28:49

Oh my gosh. There's so many good one-liners.

SPEAKER_04 28:52

If you're gonna make a horrible villain, just make him witty, please.

SPEAKER_02 28:55

Yeah, seriously. Sharp ends though, it makes it a lot easier to swallow the horrors that they commit. But the like one of my favorite characters in the series is named Glocta, and he was this like tortured. Oh gosh, I could talk about he's actually in this one, which is I'll talk about uh the first law trilogy, by the way. Or the not trilogy, the first trilogy.

SPEAKER_04 29:18

L-A-W.

SPEAKER_02 29:19

Yeah, there's two trilogies, and then there's three like independent kind of books. They're all they all take place in the same universe. There's a lot of overlapping characters. What I'm listening what I'm listening to right now is like a uh I don't know if it'd be a novella or just a series of short stories that feature some new characters and some of the old ones at different points that aren't necessary from what I've read, they aren't necessary to really under to drive the plot, but they add to it. You know, they add richness, kind of thing. Yes. And it's really great. Um to the point where there's a there's an arc that follows two people Chev and J Jav, I don't remember her name, I can never say it right. Uh, but it's as far as I know, completely independent from the rest of the plot, and it's its own contained storyline. So I was almost thinking of having you listen to that. Because if you listen to that and you like it, then you should listen to the rest of the series.

SPEAKER_04 30:17

Can I hold it in my hands and read it?

SPEAKER_02 30:19

Yeah, I'll get you, I'll get you a copy.

SPEAKER_04 30:21

I need a physical copy.

SPEAKER_02 30:22

Physical copy? See if the library can be. Sharper Ends is the book you're talking about. And I'll tell you the chapters to read.

SPEAKER_04 30:27

Also want me to read.

SPEAKER_02 30:28

Um Sharp Ends, pardon. Yeah. Sharp Ends by Joe Ashley.

SPEAKER_04 30:32

I just read the whole book. I don't want to read a section.

SPEAKER_02 30:33

Well, if you read the whole book, then you're now you're tapping into places where you need to know the backstory of the show.

SPEAKER_04 30:38

Oh, so this is not kind of a standalone one. What? Did you slip the ladybug off? Yeah, I did.

SPEAKER_02 30:43

Sorry, people.

SPEAKER_04 30:43

Goldong it.

SPEAKER_02 30:44

Should have given a little warning for frightening smoking. Yeah, intense smoking. Nudity, partial nudity, partial nudity.

SPEAKER_03 30:52

The ladybug flicking. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 30:53

Okay, so, anyways, I'm I'm digging it so far. I will probably keep chipping away. I still got the uh I say chipping away as if it's a hard chip. I love this series, it's really good. Uh it's really growing on me. Um, I think I hear I hear the last three are are great in the the final trilogy.

SPEAKER_04 31:10

Wonderful. Thank you for sharing that with us.

SPEAKER_02 31:12

You're so welcome. And uh listen to a little Bill Evans from Left to Right. You listen to Billy.

SPEAKER_04 31:18

SPEAKER_04 31:23

Yeah. He told me that.

SPEAKER_02 31:26

Is he dead?

SPEAKER_02 31:27

Yes.

SPEAKER_04 31:28

Oh.

SPEAKER_02 31:28

Yeah. I think he had a bit of a bit of a heroin problem. A bit of the old play.

SPEAKER_04 31:33

Can you have a heroin problem uh like to do two degrees?

SPEAKER_02 31:40

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 31:40

I feel like you either have a heroin problem or you don't.

SPEAKER_02 31:43

I mean, I'm not an expert on it, but you I I Can you have a little bit of a problem? Without telling too much on anybody, including, well, let's just say anybody. Uh you can absolutely there's a spectrum of addiction for hard drugs for sure. Terrible. Um Uncle Dan's what did he say? Something I think it was, he said, I want to be rich enough to I want to be rich enough to afford a heroin problem.

SPEAKER_04 32:09

Uncle Dan, you didn't say that.

SPEAKER_02 32:11

Uncle Dan's like, don't tell, don't say tell people I said that. Don't tell 28 people I said that. Thank you if you're one of the 28. Very much appreciated. Especially if you have a problem, please get some help. Um, I'm serious. I'm serious, man. I can't imagine having an addiction to it.

SPEAKER_04 32:27

No, it sucks.

SPEAKER_02 32:28

Hard drugs. Drugs or even alcohol. Drugs man worse.

SPEAKER_04 32:31

It's a hell of a drug.

SPEAKER_02 32:32

So, anyways, I think he died of a hero. Oh, I think I think he had a heroin problem anyway. But uh heroin makes some beautiful music, apparently, because uh From Left to Right is great. He plays a Rhodes, uh Rhodes keyboard uh and and piano. That's sort of the well, I don't know enough about the backstory of the album, but I heard the the I heard the song Sare. Is it Soiree? S-O-I-R-E.

SPEAKER_03 32:57

Soare.

SPEAKER_02 32:58

And I just heard it on Pandora, and I thought, oh my gosh, I love this song. So I looked it up, I saw it's Bill Evans, and then I saw he's playing a road.

SPEAKER_04 33:09

So I was like, Is it spelled like 11 with a B at the beginning? Belevin.

SPEAKER_02 33:13

Yeah, it's Bill Evan. Just like it sounds. Just like it sounds his full name was Belinda.

SPEAKER_04 33:31

Evans.

They're hilarious.

SPEAKER_02 34:53

I mean they're all really good. Like really, really good singers.

SPEAKER_04 34:58

And then they always have like an audience of about what, 200 people, and they're all singing in harmony too, half the time.

SPEAKER_02 35:04

Yeah. It's not my favorite stuff, of course, but there are some songs that I absolutely it's a whole vibe if you've never seen a Gaither homecoming on TV. Totally.

Something Mumford. Mr. Mumford Mumford. Uh Mr. Justin Mumford.

SPEAKER_04 36:30

SPEAKER_02 36:35

Um the other one was Big Bang Theory, but bear neck of Lady's song.

SPEAKER_04 36:38

See I don't know either of us. I can't think of the Ted Lasso one at all.

SPEAKER_02 36:41

We talked about it last night. Big Bang Theory, I just can't.

SPEAKER_04 36:44

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 36:45

That and two and a half men, and I can't remember the name of the guy who I I everything he he writes, I just don't think it's funny. I don't think it's funny. But hey, if you do, great. I wish I liked it.

SPEAKER_04 36:55

So in in thinking of our topic for that show, we ended on X Files, but I had said we could do a TV because we've done TV sitcoms, which I need to see if my friend or I ever did go listen to that, but get the right.

SPEAKER_02 37:08

So the uh Bedtime Sitcoms?

SPEAKER_04 37:10

When we did the Bedtime Sitcoms ranking.

SPEAKER_02 37:12

That was one of my favorite. That was fun. Um and so we're doing we're doing a similar a similar ranking system or a similar like Yeah, it's a nostalgia, it's a uh categorized nostalgia discussion.

SPEAKER_04 37:23

Yes.

SPEAKER_02 37:24

Um Leslie said, I'd like to talk about like shows we used to watch when we were young. Kids. I was like, that could be a topic, but could we do like something more specific? She just said, You're gonna come up with stuff. You tell me what And I'll just answer the question. I'll answer the question. So I dropped Clark off the other day at school, and all of a sudden it just kind of flooded in. I just started writing stuff down in the parking lot. And and then I literally just copied and pasted it into a text to you. You said, Great, let's do it, and here we are.

SPEAKER_04 37:51

That's here we go. So here we do it.

SPEAKER_02 37:53

So you want to just dive right into it?

SPEAKER_04 37:55

I do. So do you want to go just quickly? Uh I'll just say what the categories are gonna be so you guys can get all that. That's smart. Yeah. Categories are gonna be first R-rated movie you remember watching, first time you remember being scared by something on TV or in a movie, first movie or show you can remember binge watching. First VHS cover that scared you out. I want it with like movie poster. Uh first movie or show that made you aware of the opposite sex. First time you remember. Or Josh Brolin. First time you remember crying from watching something. How much time do we have on that one? First show you remember going out of your way to watch. First time a movie or show made you feel genuinely disturbed or affronted by what you were watching. Also, I have an honorable mention.

SPEAKER_02 38:45

Oh, I okay.

SPEAKER_04 38:46

It's just that it's just that's the c category. Just something that like I have a very core memory of. It didn't fit into any of these categories. I just I had to share. I'm gonna have to share it.

SPEAKER_02 38:55

I'd love to hear it. I'm looking forward to it. We're gonna start with that or end with it.

SPEAKER_04 38:57

No, we're gonna end with it.

SPEAKER_02 38:58

Throw it in the middle.

RoboCop Rage And R-Rated Firsts

SPEAKER_04 38:59

Yeah, we'll just throw it in. I'll probably end with it.

SPEAKER_02 39:02

You want to start with the R-rated movies?

SPEAKER_04 39:03

Yeah, I want you to go first.

SPEAKER_02 39:05

Okay.

SPEAKER_04 39:06

First R-rated movie you ever remember watching. This I now I know why you made me get up and watch something within 10 minutes of opening my eyes.

SPEAKER_02 39:14

So I'm gonna get there, but we're not there yet.

SPEAKER_04 39:16

Oh, okay.

SPEAKER_02 39:17

That was Robocop. Right. And I RoboCop is so I I was writing out movies that I knew I watched really early. But and and so Robocop is in my it's technically in my list, but I do know almost for a fact that it was not the first one of the first R-rated movie I watched. Almost the first X-rated movie I watched, because like I know they had to really fight for they had to keep dialing back the violence in that movie. Does that surprise you based on what you saw?

SPEAKER_04 39:43

It was so stupid.

SPEAKER_02 39:44

Yeah, but I'll get there. Uh excess it is stupid. It was Family Guy felt very campy before the uh the that scene. Do you want to just start with the first time I felt affronted by what I was watching? Go for it. Let's do that.

SPEAKER_03 39:58

All right.

SPEAKER_02 39:59

Because that's a for me, it was the Robocop scene, uh, the execution, I guess you could say, of of Murphy, of Peter Weller. Um I I had seen some stuff that like I thought was pretty messed up like as a kid. Like I there's some some things that affected me.

SPEAKER_03 40:19

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 40:20

But this was the first time that I just felt like like just disgusted. Not from the violence, but just like the way they were laughing at him while they're just torturing him and blowing off parts of his body, yeah. And they're just making a joke out of it. Like it made me so violently mad.

SPEAKER_04 40:39

I'd like to take your blood pressure right now as you relive this.

SPEAKER_02 40:41

I was just furious, and I'm just like, and he's like such a nice guy. You know what I mean?

SPEAKER_04 40:45

Cinderella second. What's his face?

SPEAKER_02 40:48

The dad from uh gosh, he's a great actor. I love him. But the dad from uh the 70s show who plays the Red His name's Red in that.

SPEAKER_04 40:56

Yeah, I don't know what his real name is.

SPEAKER_02 40:58

Um actually, could you look it up real quick? That's gonna really drive me nuts. So he's just such an awful my my mom would say she my mom would go, I this is awful.

SPEAKER_00 41:11

This is terrible, but Kurtwood Smith. Kurtwood Smith, yeah. He just looks like a child molester. He really does. Poor Kurt White.

SPEAKER_02 41:19

He's a great he's a great actor. I hear he's actually a nice guy. But he plays a great slime ball. Um that scene just absolutely I was I was just very affected by it. Um it didn't like make it just made it was the first time that I ever you know, a lot of times when when we're watching, like I I don't horror movies don't tend to scare me. I'm I'm gonna go somewhere with this. In this in this day and age, I haven't I can't think of the last time I got like scared by a horror movie. I'm not saying they don't exist, I'm just saying I haven't.

SPEAKER_03 41:50

Right.

SPEAKER_02 41:51

And what but what I do get, I get very mad because usually it's just awful, innocent people just getting decimated in some terrible way. And I just don't, I hate it. This is like the first time, and this is quite frankly, even watching it today, I was just like, oh my gosh, like I hate this. And the funny thing about it is, and I'm so sorry, mom. My mom is my mom is the best, and so is my dad. I love them. They're great, and they really do.

SPEAKER_04 42:22

They are, I will I will echo that.

SPEAKER_02 42:24

But this is also one of the first R-rated movies I watched. And my mom wanted me to see it. And once you see this movie, because we're gonna watch it, this will just you have to go back and listen to all this because it'll make more sense. She wanted me to watch this movie because YouTube would have saved us a lot of time because we could have just she could have said, I want to show you this clip of this giant robot where a guy tries to put a gun down and there's a bug in the robot, and he doesn't know he put it down, so he so he he's like, Drop the gun, 10 seconds, or I will open fire, that kind of thing. ED209 is the name of the robot. She just wanted to show me that. But she rented the movie and we just watched the whole thing, and I don't know if she remembered what. I definitely I saw this movie and I was just like, I mean, I thought it was awesome, but it's so violent. It's so violent. Like, that is not necessary. That's the most violent scene, like all things considered. But there's so many scenes like that that are just brutal. But it's just like, including the scene that she really wanted me to watch.

SPEAKER_04 43:26

You go well with your morning coffee, I'll just tell you that.

SPEAKER_02 43:29

But she's like, I just my poor Bob. She's like, I just want to show you this awesome robot scene. But we ended up watching the movie for something. We'll just watch the whole thing.

unknown 43:38

So bad.

SPEAKER_02 43:40

But it's very uh it's very formative, yeah.

SPEAKER_04 43:42

Is it okay if I have two for s for a lot of mine?

SPEAKER_02 43:45

Sure. Yeah, I do too.

SPEAKER_04 43:46

Because when you add that on this one from is that your sorry yeah, that's the biggest one that I could think of.

SPEAKER_02 43:50

Do you have any others? Really stood out. One kind of blends over to the crying part, but uh we'll get there.

SPEAKER_04 43:56

Okay. From the same movie?

SPEAKER_02 43:58

No.

SPEAKER_04 43:58

Okay. So you want to hold it off? On that. Yeah, go ahead. Okay. So I have two. The first one that I like my initial gut reaction. I wasn't a super young kid. I mean, I was in like probably early high school, but the first one for me that made me feel very, very disturbed was American History X. Oh. How old were we? Like 15, probably. Yeah, something like that. Very disturbing to me.

SPEAKER_02 44:20

I'm assuming you're talking about the curb.

SPEAKER_04 44:22

Yeah. Well, pretty much. There's a few disturbing words. It's incredibly racist and awful and sad. And I just I had never really seen anything like that. Yeah, I'd never really.

SPEAKER_02 44:30

Like Rock Ramper Dream or Ugh.

SPEAKER_04 44:32

I never saw anything like that.

SPEAKER_02 44:35

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_04 44:35

But not until college. But like But the other but the one that I remember actually truly being like as a kid feeling like sad and wronged by was the way they treat the little girl in All Dogs Go to Heaven. Because she's an orphan and they're mean to her. I remember she escapes and then she swimmed around with the alligator, but he's not very nice to her either.

SPEAKER_02 44:57

Oh, it's it's coming back, yeah.

SPEAKER_04 44:58

Yeah, it's like the way they like she's just a sad little girl, and just all these adults in her life are just like treating her bad, and then she gets away and she's with the alligator and he's like singing and they're having this great time, but then he leaves her.

SPEAKER_02 45:09

It's just that's yeah, that's rough.

SPEAKER_04 45:12

And I was just like, who's in who's gonna take care of this little girl?

SPEAKER_02 45:15

I mean, a close second for me upon reflection in your recent addition to this conversation was probably Cinderella.

SPEAKER_04 45:20

I did you hear me say that? I I said that. I said is Cinderella second place for you when you were talking about Robocop. Because the stepsisters in the wicked stepfall. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 45:30

Yeah, you nailed it. I freaking hate hate the hated them. Yeah. I was I was so mad.

SPEAKER_04 45:37

They're just so nasty.

SPEAKER_02 45:38

Cinderella is so Cinderella is one of my favor, maybe my favorite. I don't I'm not gonna say it's my favorite soundtrack, but probably my favorite Disney soundtrack. Just a couple just really beautiful compositions on there. But the story, the buttons. But I hate the story. Uh I love the Raw Dahl story where they get cut off.

SPEAKER_03 45:59

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 46:00

I just thought that all they do is just get I wanted to see some like pretty hardcore vengeance.

SPEAKER_04 46:05

Things weight nightingale.

SPEAKER_02 46:07

They live long enough to be part of the made for uh straight to DVD uh sequel. I've seen it. Although they do there's a little bit of a redemptive arc, I guess.

SPEAKER_04 46:17

Well, uh it has more to do with Cinderella's character, yeah. Like her human her humanity. But also the back to all dogs go to heaven, the animation. Do you remember the animation? It's almost like the style, it's almost like Land Before Time. Yeah, it's like that. It was 80s cartoon, but it's like kind of real. But it's almost like the they they leave the image as things are moving. It's just like it's very artsy, it's almost trails. I don't know how to describe it.

SPEAKER_02 46:47

I I think I know what you're saying. Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 46:49

So anyway, those were mine.

SPEAKER_02 46:51

Okay.

SPEAKER_04 46:51

Alright.

SPEAKER_02 46:52

Good examples.

SPEAKER_04 46:53

First R-rated movie you ever remember watching.

SPEAKER_02 46:55

So we rolled out it's not Robocop.

SPEAKER_04 46:57

Okay.

SPEAKER_02 46:58

But that was one of the first. Okay. Uh I also had Terminator One on there. Um, another Have you ever seen Terminator One?

SPEAKER_04 47:07

I don't know.

SPEAKER_02 47:08

Ooh, we should watch it.

SPEAKER_04 47:10

It's not the one with Sarah O'Connor.

SPEAKER_02 47:11

Well, Sarah Connor. Sarah Connor. Chine O'Connor. Sarah Sandra De O'Connor. Sarah Sandra De O'Connor. Um it's the one with Sarah Connor, but it is the first one with Sarah Connor. It is I think I have seen it.

SPEAKER_04 47:26

I think we watched it.

SPEAKER_02 47:27

It's almost more arguably more of a horror movie.

SPEAKER_04 47:29

It's bad, right?

SPEAKER_02 47:30

Oh yes. Yeah, yeah, I've seen it. Okay.

SPEAKER_04 47:32

Is a phone is there phone calls involved, or is that the second one?

SPEAKER_02 47:36

Um You're talking about the one where put uh what's what's Wolfie barking at? Oh Wolfie's fine, honey.

SPEAKER_04 47:43

Yeah. Is that from the first one?

SPEAKER_02 47:45

That's the second one.

SPEAKER_04 47:45

Oh, okay. Well, I do think.

SPEAKER_02 47:46

There are some phone call scenes, though. I mean, in the first one. Okay. Um, but anyways.

SPEAKER_04 47:51

So it's not that.

SPEAKER_02 47:52

It's not that. And it's uh it wasn't total recall either. I saw that pretty early on. It was you could see my mom, she just can't help herself. She's just like, you just she's like me, because I've like I've showed the kids so probably probably a lot of stuff I shouldn't have pretty early on because I just thought it was so cool.

SPEAKER_04 48:08

My opinion on that.

SPEAKER_02 48:09

My first one was Aliens. Oh wow. I'm almost positive it was aliens.

SPEAKER_04 48:13

Is that the second one?

SPEAKER_02 48:14

The second one.

SPEAKER_04 48:15

Because of the S. That's how you know.

SPEAKER_02 48:17

Yeah, that is a and and and it's I mean, you've seen it.

SPEAKER_04 48:23

I have.

SPEAKER_02 48:24

Do you I guess if you're gonna pick an R-rated movie, I mean it's it's not terrible.

SPEAKER_04 48:28

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 48:29

It's it's really it's a pretty good action movie.

SPEAKER_04 48:31

There's no I would say it's more of an action movie, really, than it.

SPEAKER_02 48:34

And it's sci-fi violence, which somehow, I know that's not really like Yeah, I know what you mean. And I'd say that was like Redemption, Terry. Good call.

SPEAKER_03 48:45

Redemption.

SPEAKER_02 48:45

Had you started with Robocop, that would have been a little problematic. You fortunately you picked that as my third. You warned me up to it. Yeah. Yeah. Aliens perfect. I'll tell you the perfect rated R movie. For your first rated R movie for a young child. Die Hard? Child in the Basement, for instance. Uh Die Hard, there's an argument there.

SPEAKER_03 49:06

Okay.

SPEAKER_02 49:06

Especially with the bonding, the family thing, because everybody's moving, yeah. I would say The Matrix.

SPEAKER_04 49:11

Oh, yeah.

SPEAKER_02 49:12

Like the R rating doesn't even make sense to me.

SPEAKER_04 49:14

No, not at all. No, it's really more of a you know, by talking about sci-fi violence.

SPEAKER_02 49:20

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 49:20

Wonder why it's rated R.

SPEAKER_02 49:22

A lot of our conversations gravitate to ratings. Huh. I'm fat kind of I've always been kind of fascinated with what makes the cut and what doesn't and why and the evolution of that. Anyways, there's a there's a main topic there. But um, for now you'll have to settle for my first movie. Aliens, which I actually prefer over Alien, even though I like Alien a lot.

SPEAKER_04 49:42

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 49:42

They're two totally different movies.

SPEAKER_04 49:44

Caroline watched Alien by herself one day when she was homeschooled from sick. Home from sick?

SPEAKER_02 49:49

When she was homeschooled from sick.

SPEAKER_04 49:55

I think fourth or fifth grade, and she was laying in our room watching it. I came in and I'm like, what are you watching?

SPEAKER_02 50:02

I've never seen the third one. Have you?

SPEAKER_04 50:04

No. Is it aliens?

SPEAKER_02 50:07

Aliens, and somehow you have to say three when you combine an S going into a three. Hello, buddy. Hello, buddy. Spaceballs. Okay, moving on. I'm going over this.

SPEAKER_04 50:22

Mine?

SPEAKER_02 50:22

Yes.

SPEAKER_04 50:22

First R Rate of M ever movie I remember watching.

SPEAKER_01 50:25

Removie.

SPEAKER_04 50:26

Removie.

SPEAKER_01 50:28

Do I have a hit?

SPEAKER_04 50:29

I'm not well, guys. I'm not well. Um The Hand That Rocks the Cradle.

SPEAKER_02 50:34

Oh, I've never seen that.

SPEAKER_04 50:37

So my grandma, Linda. Oh, whoops, sorry. She's dead.

SPEAKER_02 50:41

Yeah, she can come to our company.

SPEAKER_04 50:43

She just turned 120.

SPEAKER_02 50:44

Five.

SPEAKER_04 50:45

Five.

SPEAKER_02 50:46

Yeah. Okay.

SPEAKER_04 50:46

No, 120. 120. She was born in 1906.

SPEAKER_02 50:49

Oh, sorry. March. Sorry, ma'am.

SPEAKER_04 50:51

In March. Anyway, she had a satellite dish, like one of the old huge satellite dishes that when you changed frequencies or whatever, changed channels, the whole dish would move. You could watch it moving.

SPEAKER_02 51:04

Like in Stay Tuned. It's a John Ritter movie we talked about before. Oh, okay. Don't worry about it. Go ahead.

SPEAKER_04 51:09

And um sometimes she would have like, I don't know, if she would get like a different package or something, it would come with like movie channels or something. And my sister, Laura, looking at you, turned on the hand that rocks the cradle. And every all the adults were like on the other side of the house. It was like a ranch house, and they were all kitchen family room side and or living room side. And then Laura was watching TV on grandma's cape, grandma's satellite, because we didn't have that. And that was on. And I just remember being like, A, sick to my stomach that we were gonna get in trouble. And B the movie's very disturbing. And there's like a very disturbing part where they frame the gardener. He's like, I think he's now don't get I I could be wrong. I feel like he might be a little bit slow, the gardener.

SPEAKER_05 52:00

Okay.

SPEAKER_04 52:01

The caretaker. But he's also black.

SPEAKER_02 52:03

Oh, okay. And they frame him and make it look like he's been abusing if I saw that, that would probably I'm not trying to sound like I'm sort of social some sort of social justice warrior, but like legitimately, that kind of stuff.

SPEAKER_04 52:15

You would hate it.

SPEAKER_02 52:16

Makes me so mad. Like that might beat out the RoboComp.

SPEAKER_04 52:20

It's like a bit of a psychological and like it you would hate it because it's from what I can remember, nobody nobody knows who the bad person is, and the bad person just keeps manipulating everything. But you as the viewer see the bad things they're doing.

SPEAKER_02 52:36

You know what I mean? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Um let me see here. I'm looking at the uh But yeah.

SPEAKER_04 52:41

That was that one also probably would have gone with our previous category about feeling really disturbed by something.

SPEAKER_02 52:47

Hmm. It's uh let's see, rated R for some strong, bloody violence, sexual content and language. That's mild. These are all very subjective. Woman kills a man with a baseball bet. Spoiler alert. There's uh there's a well, I won't say all this. Yeah. Anyways, okay. So that was my I always have those I always have it if even though I haven't seen it.

SPEAKER_04 53:08

It was as much circumstantial for me as it was the content of what we were watching. I was just so afraid we were gonna get in trouble. And like my sister, like we were very much like she was like a teenager and I was a kid, so there was no real relationship there at that time except for her being like, Shut up! I'm watching this. It's fine, they're not gonna find out, or something like that.

SPEAKER_02 53:26

That reminds me of yeah, I'm sure Laura's just like wanted to kill you.

SPEAKER_04 53:31

So I was like, shut up. The uh no unless you tell them.

SPEAKER_02 53:36

Yes, I've I've had similar situations. So I'll I'll get to I'll throw in an honorable mention. The well this could be in like a part two random categories of nostalgic uh media. But there were we were watching Beetlejuice, and you've seen the you've seen Beetlejuice?

SPEAKER_04 53:56

The Ridge.

SPEAKER_02 53:57

Wait, the what?

SPEAKER_04 53:58

The original?

SPEAKER_02 53:59

The original, yeah. I haven't seen the new and there's a scene where he like, if I remember right, he grabs himself. This is a PG movie. It's Michael Key. Yeah, yeah. It's when you could throw, it's when you could throw the F-word in a PG movie.

SPEAKER_04 54:09

Like once.

SPEAKER_02 54:10

Like once. I think I think My Blue Heaven did it. It's such a random, obscure piece of trivia.

SPEAKER_04 54:16

Like an Elvis movie?

SPEAKER_02 54:17

No, it was a Steve Martin movie about a gangster. It doesn't matter. One of those movies I watched a million times for some reason because it was always on at my grandma's house. Like I just happened to, she had like HBO or something. And I for whatever reason I've seen My Blue Heaven many times. I think it was rated PG.

SPEAKER_04 54:31

You never wanted to.

SPEAKER_02 54:32

Julie Nutnik. But anyways, uh, we were watching Beetlejuice, and it was me and my brother. This is when Julia was dead. Still dead. Still dead. And uh and so I'm not even gonna explain that. I'm just gonna let it go. And then the uh the our our friends were over three girls about our age. We're watching Beetlejuice. He grabs himself and he says, uh, says the F-word. And we're all walking around the room doing that and saying that.

SPEAKER_04 55:04

The girls too?

SPEAKER_02 55:05

Yeah, yeah. And then our our parents come up and see that, and they're just like, no. But it was just like because if it was like if they walked in and just I was doing it in front of my brother, I probably would have gotten grounded. Oh, but in this case, it's like you guys were all everybody's doing it, they're just like, let's just this never happened. You know, anyways, that's that's a core memory. Okay, move on.

SPEAKER_04 55:32

Alright, so the next one is the first time you remember being scared by something in TV or movie.

Earliest TV Fears And Theme Songs

SPEAKER_02 55:39

Okay, I had to dig for this. Do you want me to start? Yeah. Um, you know, I like to take it on a little journey.

SPEAKER_03 55:46

Yes.

SPEAKER_02 55:47

So one of the things that may even be a main topic someday. Okay. Because I really want to watch this episode again. Have you ever seen Night Gallery?

SPEAKER_04 55:56

Uh no, I don't think.

SPEAKER_02 55:57

Late 1969 Rod Serling Twil from Twilight Zone. Anyways, it's a very similar to Twilight Zone. There's an episode called The Cemetery.

SPEAKER_04 56:08

Okay. And that was one of the Tales from the Crypt style, like where there would be like a host and then they would show like short films or whatever.

SPEAKER_02 56:17

Yeah, if I remember I'd say that's probably a pretty accurate.

SPEAKER_04 56:20

Oh, is this the painting one? Yes. Yes.

SPEAKER_02 56:24

That's the probably the first scary thing I saw that I also thought was really cool. Yeah. Like that I thought was cool enough to keep watching it, even though I was pretty freaking scared.

SPEAKER_04 56:33

Give us the premise.

SPEAKER_02 56:35

Well, it's not my main topic.

SPEAKER_04 56:38

Oh.

SPEAKER_02 56:38

Yeah. So I just wanted to, like I said, I'd take you on a journey.

SPEAKER_04 56:41

Okay.

SPEAKER_02 56:42

Alright. We'll talk about that some other time. I do love that episode. I want to probably make it. The cemetery. Yeah, the cemetery. I don't know if it I don't know if it uh holds up. I haven't seen it since I was a kid. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. So I'll save my comments. Okay. Then I was digging around Twilight Zone episodes, but I think even further back, the fur because I remember this means nothing to anybody, but in Glen Glendora, living on Fountain Springs. I so have you ever seen Darby O'Gill and the Little People?

SPEAKER_04 57:12

Yes.

SPEAKER_02 57:13

Do you remember the Banshee?

SPEAKER_04 57:14

No.

SPEAKER_02 57:15

Well, I do. Look up the Banshee. Look up Darby O'Gill and the Little People Banshee. Or just Darby O'Gill. I do remember being absolutely frightened by the Banshee. And it's like this. If you've never seen it, it is kind of scary looking still. It's what I want to say it's a 50s. Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 57:35

Oh wow. It's very Scooby-Doo.

SPEAKER_02 57:38

Yeah, it is very Scooby-Doo. But it's, you know, it's it's real.

SPEAKER_04 57:41

It's um It's like they mess with the negatives kind of.

SPEAKER_02 57:45

Yeah, or mirror, or so I don't know how they do it. But it is like a real I say real, but you know, it's it's not it's not a cartoon.

SPEAKER_04 57:52

Wait, she's not bad?

SPEAKER_02 57:54

I don't remember. I just remember being so.

SPEAKER_04 57:56

It says she doesn't hunt or kill, she mourns with the family.

SPEAKER_02 57:59

Okay. It doesn't it doesn't matter.

SPEAKER_04 58:02

I saw that and was very She took very Wow, I don't I don't remember that at all.

SPEAKER_02 58:10

Well, that I mean I remember that I just yeah, I I can't. How old do you think you were? Not eloquent enough to make it any more descriptive. How old do I think I was? So I was maybe five, maybe four or five? I'd say.

SPEAKER_04 58:28

I had two.

SPEAKER_02 58:30

I just moved from Burbank.

SPEAKER_04 58:31

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 58:32

I I I I and I'm I'm I'm I'm piecing together context because I'm sure my parents could tell you exactly, but it doesn't really matter. I would say somewhere around I'd say five at the oldest. I don't know how I don't know how many memories I have before that.

SPEAKER_04 58:45

I had trouble coming up with scary stuff that I had watched. More of my stuff came from books.

SPEAKER_02 58:51

That's funny.

SPEAKER_04 58:52

Like no, well, but I came up with something from but like my earliest stuff was like the very scary story illustrations.

SPEAKER_02 59:00

Oh, that's a good one. Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 59:02

Um or like Goosebumps books were were very those some of my earliest scary memories because I love to read so much I couldn't stop picking it up and reading it. Like, even though I knew it was gonna be terrible for me. But the things that I thought of, first of all, the X-Files theme. I wasn't allowed to watch it, but my sister watched it. And so if I heard it come on, I was very scared.

SPEAKER_02 59:26

Just the theme in general. Yes. Gotcha. It is a pretty funny thing.

SPEAKER_04 59:30

And the unsolved mysteries theme, also very scary to me.

SPEAKER_02 59:33

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 59:33

Both of them. And I did watch that. We did watch that. That's probably one of the first times I remember feeling scared. But then the other one that sings out is the nothing from the never ending story. Oh. I thought was really good call. Frightening. I it does not hold up. It's like a terrible wolf puppet.

SPEAKER_02 59:52

No. Yeah, it is. It's not.

SPEAKER_04 59:55

I mean, the never ending story is fantastic. I mean take it away from it.

SPEAKER_02 59:58

Artex is death. The RTX death scene. That that that I was just like, what?

SPEAKER_04 1:00:03

Yeah, they're really gonna let that horse die. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 1:00:06

There's some people who care about horses. There's some people who care about kidnapping.

SPEAKER_04 1:00:11

But I mean, it was the kid's horse too. Like that, it wasn't just that the horse dying, it was uh the Treyu's horse.

SPEAKER_02 1:00:17

Yeah, the horse was uh I mean, is it the main character?

SPEAKER_04 1:00:20

I mean, that's a I'm sure you've seen it, but that's a meme. It's like this is where my childhood trauma started, and it's like a scene of Artax just going under in the mud.

SPEAKER_02 1:00:28

It's a scene of Peter Weller getting his arm like everything else blown off.

Binge Watching Before Streaming Existed

SPEAKER_04 1:00:35

But yeah, those are mine. First movie or show you can remember, binge watching. This one was hard because we couldn't really binge watch stuff until we were older.

SPEAKER_02 1:00:45

I would disagree.

SPEAKER_04 1:00:46

Okay.

SPEAKER_02 1:00:46

First movie or show. Now, when I say binge watching, I also mean watching it over and over again.

SPEAKER_04 1:00:52

Oh, well then I have a great one for that.

SPEAKER_02 1:00:53

Yeah. That's why I would disagree with you because you filmed me many that you have watched many, many, many times. Um man, I'm thinking of all sorts of other things. Temple of Doom and the guy got his heart ripped out, that was pretty.

SPEAKER_04 1:01:05

Oh my gosh. You watched that? You binge watched that?

SPEAKER_02 1:01:07

No, no, no. But I've got to be a good one. Oh, you're still back on shocking. I'm just yeah.

SPEAKER_04 1:01:11

Uh does it count if your dad was being a big deal?

SPEAKER_02 1:01:13

I mean, Robocops still wins. That was a pretty that scene. Yeah. But I'm just thinking of a bunch of scenes I saw there was just a lot of things.

SPEAKER_04 1:01:18

I guess, yeah, I have.

SPEAKER_02 1:01:20

Yeah. What do you want me to start?

SPEAKER_04 1:01:23

Yeah, binge watching. Go for it.

SPEAKER_02 1:01:25

So I got I got two. Two will not surprise you at all. Um, and the other one you probably haven't heard of. Okay.

SPEAKER_04 1:01:32

So settle in.

SPEAKER_02 1:01:34

So settle in. Big Trouble in Little China was definitely early on.

SPEAKER_03 1:01:39

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 1:01:39

Uh I don't I don't know how, you know, I was so young that I don't I don't, and also just completely clueless as to how the world works. So something appears on the TV and I watch it, right? So my mom must have rented Big Trouble in China at some point.

SPEAKER_03 1:01:53

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 1:01:54

And good call, mom. Just a good call. Clear, through and through, perfect parenting. Not sarcastic at all. And that really genuine. Yeah. I love this movie. It's one of the best. This movie probably shaped my personality more than any other form of media. Just like everything about it's got everything. And I think I I argue I used to get kind of uh I know I've never been embarrassed recommending this movie to anybody, but I do realize that people don't think this movie's good. I think this movie is actually br brilliant. At the time, I just thought it was awesome. And I could go on, but we'll do a big trouble on China episode at some point. Um but the I've seen I've seen it so many. I mean, just it has the huge fight in the alley. It's got uh just all sorts of fighting.

SPEAKER_04 1:02:46

Did you watch certain parts of it over and over again, or did you watch the whole thing just start to I just watched the whole thing.

SPEAKER_02 1:02:53

I mean, there's definitely scenes I liked more. That's not it though. That's not the one.

SPEAKER_04 1:02:56

Okay, what else?

SPEAKER_02 1:02:56

Um actually that might be. I Back to the Future was another one. I watched Back to the Future a trillion times in a row. There's so many scenes that I just loved. I love that Johnny be good scene was one of my favorite scenes of any movie ever. Okay. Just it not so much the music part, it was just him just at an early age. I realized how cool it was to know a song that was right about to come out.

SPEAKER_04 1:03:22

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 1:03:22

That to be able to do that and just like kind of trick a whole room and have them love you immediately is just like super cool. And then he goes in the Van Halen thing, which I didn't know who Van Halen was, but now I appreciate it even more. Okay. I would say Thrashen might have been the first one I remember. Is that Josh Brolin?

SPEAKER_04 1:03:40

Oh my gosh. Is that a guitar movie? No, it's a skateboarding movie. Skateboarding.

SPEAKER_02 1:03:45

Yeah, kind of like Gleaming the Cube or was it Airborne or Rad. We saw a little bit of Rad. They did the BMX uh Slow Dance? Slow Dance. Thrashin was a movie I have not seen since. I probably rented it once, but I think I watched it like five times in a row. I loved it. I thought it was awesome. It's like two.

SPEAKER_04 1:04:08

Was it awesome?

SPEAKER_02 1:04:08

I don't know. I want to watch it again. I haven't seen it since I was like six.

SPEAKER_04 1:04:12

But how old was Josh Burlin, like a teenager?

SPEAKER_02 1:04:15

This was like right around Goonies. Goonies might have just been before, just been after. I'm not sure. But yeah, he would have been 1985, maybe.

SPEAKER_04 1:04:25

I was in high school.

SPEAKER_02 1:04:27

Oh, really?

SPEAKER_01 1:04:27

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 1:04:29

I watched Goonies pretty early. Honestly, that's that that was a that was an early uh repeat. But Thrashen, there's like two, I think it's like two motorcycle. I'm sorry.

SPEAKER_04 1:04:38

He loved it, can't you?

SPEAKER_02 1:04:39

Can you imagine? Two skateboarding gangs that are like up against each other competing to who's the best.

SPEAKER_04 1:04:46

Aren't skateboarders like sort of notoriously like chill and laid back and would never have gangs.

SPEAKER_02 1:04:50

These guys.

SPEAKER_04 1:04:51

And they would never have gangs.

SPEAKER_02 1:04:53

This was like closer to like Yeah, they would never have gangs. No. Except from like kids. I think the guy gets beat up another movie kids.

SPEAKER_03 1:05:01

Oh that's terrible.

SPEAKER_02 1:05:04

This would be more like Fast and the Furious, maybe.

SPEAKER_03 1:05:07

Okay.

SPEAKER_02 1:05:08

Like uh in terms of like the gang structure. But you also have the whole have you seen Fast and the Furious?

SPEAKER_04 1:05:13

Yeah, one or two of them.

SPEAKER_02 1:05:15

Well, I think Josh Brolin like falls in love with the rival gangster. Romeo Juliet. Yeah. And there's that whole thing going on. We should watch it.

SPEAKER_04 1:05:25

I don't want to watch any of the stuff you've said we should watch. You don't want to watch the first episode.

SPEAKER_02 1:05:30

Oh no.

SPEAKER_04 1:05:31

All right. Can I say mine now? No. Okay. Well, I was thinking of modern day versions of binge watching. So I had said Spongebob and then Dead Like Me, because I had the we had the DVDs.

SPEAKER_02 1:05:42

Wow.

SPEAKER_04 1:05:42

Where you could just sit and watch episode after episode.

SPEAKER_02 1:05:45

That's not nearly as nostalgic as well.

SPEAKER_04 1:05:47

No, it's not. But so when you said that, I could have repeat watching. Then of course, sorry to say the never-ending story made it makes it back on the list for that because my dad would we would rent that all the time. And then we owned the three-star. Star Wars. And I would say my dad's favorite was probably five.

SPEAKER_02 1:06:04

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 1:06:05

Is that everybody's favorite?

SPEAKER_02 1:06:07

Uh no. No, but it's um it's a lot of people's favorites.

SPEAKER_04 1:06:12

Is it called an What's Empire Strikes Back is Five? Oh, yeah. Yeah. What's the sixth one called?

SPEAKER_02 1:06:18

Um Never Ending Story. A New Hope, Empire Strikes Back and uh Return of the Jedi.

SPEAKER_04 1:06:27

Duh. Okay. Anyway, yeah, I would say Empire Strikes Back was his favorite. And so he watched that. I mean, I feel like he watched that every Saturday.

SPEAKER_02 1:06:33

Star Wars is honestly pretty I love Star Wars, but I don't love it that much. Yeah, well it's pretty like Stark Star Trek way more in almost every way.

SPEAKER_04 1:06:42

I saw a thing the other day that said if you saw somebody wearing it was like a poll and it was like, who would you rather ask for help? A person wearing a Star Trek t-shirt or a person wearing a Star Wars t-shirt. Star Trek. And it was like 95% of people selected the Star Trek.

SPEAKER_02 1:06:55

Yeah, absolutely. Like it takes a certain kind of somebody who's who either just doesn't care. Everybody wears Star Wars. Star Wars is fine. Whatever. Wear whatever. I think it's a good one. I also have a Jurassic Park. I love Star Wars.

SPEAKER_04 1:07:09

I have Jurassic Park shirt on underneath.

SPEAKER_02 1:07:10

Where your Jurassic? I would go I might go to the Jurassic Park.

SPEAKER_04 1:07:13

You go to the Jurassic Person.

SPEAKER_02 1:07:15

No, I go for Star Trek.

SPEAKER_04 1:07:16

Anyway, so but the but the one I'm gonna actually gonna choose is the Never Ever Ever Talk to Strangers uh video that I had.

SPEAKER_02 1:07:22

Yeah, go on.

SPEAKER_04 1:07:24

It had about five different I've heard you sing it before, but uh never ever ever ever ever ever Never Talk to Strangers.

SPEAKER_02 1:07:31

Oh my gosh. So you're making me think of all these shows now. I remember watching as a little kid.

SPEAKER_04 1:07:37

It was like it was like it felt felt like a PBS show where they would have like how Sesame Street just has like little vignettes constantly, like little, you know, two, three, four, five minutes. I have to watch the crap out of Sesame Street. It was the original reels, by the way. I feel like Sesame Street, you just keep going to the next thing. But it was a it had a it had a one video, it had like five stories on it. So there was one, the song about never talk to strangers. And then there was one where the everything flooded and all of the stuff in the house was floating down the street. There was I can't remember what all of them were, but the never ever ever ever talked to strangers. My sister used to get super mad when I would put it in, and she'd be like, Never Which I'm sure.

SPEAKER_02 1:08:20

Yeah, basically.

SPEAKER_03 1:08:21

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 1:08:22

That reminds me, there was a show I watched called like the the wow wow whizzy wazzy wazzy woo-woo or something like that. But I was I was a little bit old, I think thrashing came first, to be honest with you, but I don't know, maybe not.

SPEAKER_04 1:08:33

Okay.

VHS Covers And Video Store Smells

SPEAKER_02 1:08:33

Um all right.

SPEAKER_04 1:08:35

First cover to scare ya. VHS taped cover.

SPEAKER_02 1:08:40

So that was like always a huge experience for me was going into the video stores. We could talk about video stores in general.

SPEAKER_04 1:08:46

Oh, yeah. And the way that we got that candle that smells like it.

SPEAKER_02 1:08:49

Yes, I know. I smell candles all the time, hoping to someday find it again.

SPEAKER_04 1:08:55

Something that smells like black plastic.

SPEAKER_02 1:08:58

That's but it no, it's got like almost a little bit of a cedar undertone.

SPEAKER_04 1:09:02

Yeah, it was a bit of an ink smell too.

SPEAKER_02 1:09:04

Yeah, but it smells like a mom and pop video store.

SPEAKER_04 1:09:08

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 1:09:09

Spring Valley Video. Shout out. What was yours called? I want to just always smell that. Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 1:09:15

What was your video store called?

SPEAKER_02 1:09:17

Oh, I don't know. Um I'm not sure. I we had a lot of videos.

SPEAKER_04 1:09:22

I'm like the dominoes, you know, the dominoes.

SPEAKER_02 1:09:24

This is a town that had one video store. I've lived I've always lived in some that have uh many.

SPEAKER_04 1:09:29

Can you picture the dominoes now that we have here? Yes. How it has two entrances. Well, it used to just be the first one on the corner, and then the immediate door next to it was a separate business, and that was the video rental store. So do you think that we went and got a pizza and a video every single Friday, and we always got never-ending story or one that will come up later for me. I'm not gonna say it yet.

SPEAKER_02 1:09:51

It's awesome.

SPEAKER_04 1:09:52

I I feel like this is a great episode for my dad's birthday because it's like he was very instrumental in what we watched.

SPEAKER_02 1:10:00

I I I know my mom was. Uh my dad was too, to a degree, but it was more as I got older.

SPEAKER_04 1:10:06

But um I Okay, first thing that scared you though.

SPEAKER_02 1:10:10

Back to that. But so that was a big thing for me, is going in, you go into the video store and you look at box art for well video games. But the 80s was like the 80s were like a graphic time.

SPEAKER_04 1:10:27

I want this because of what this cover looks like.

SPEAKER_02 1:10:29

Yes. And and but the horror movies were like graphics. I never I don't think I ever rented a single one. Maybe a couple like light ones, but like I would just sit there and almost like dare myself to like pick them up and look at them. There's some that I just would not even look at.

SPEAKER_04 1:10:46

Or what about what about ones that had like sexy covers? I would be like afraid to even be seen looking at the sexy covers.

SPEAKER_02 1:10:53

Rob, you walked by that section 17 times. There was one time I swear they had left out like some, you know, the behind the curtain kind of juice to juice. There was one.

SPEAKER_03 1:11:01

There was a room.

SPEAKER_02 1:11:02

They they they were doing shelves one time, and they left a couple of those out, and I saw them and I was just like, Oh my god. Whoa. Maybe it was, I don't know what it was, but anyway.

SPEAKER_04 1:11:12

You're going straight to hell.

SPEAKER_02 1:11:14

No, the Pipley faced uh clerk is going straight to hell. Yeah. I was just a kid.

SPEAKER_04 1:11:19

You're just a baby. But the baby.

SPEAKER_02 1:11:22

So uh I would say dolls. I don't think it's even a question. I was thinking Friday night, maybe. What's DOS? Dolls. Oh you know, I I've terrified of dolls. Yeah. And then there's a killer dolls. Chucky, for whatever reason, didn't really scare me.

SPEAKER_04 1:11:37

Yeah, I had Chucky on my list.

SPEAKER_02 1:11:38

I would almost say Chucky is what made me stop being afraid of dolls. Because it's too silly, it's so stupid. Um, but dolls I never watched. We should watch it.

SPEAKER_04 1:11:48

We should.

SPEAKER_02 1:11:48

I probably It's probably stupid. It's probably so, so lame.

SPEAKER_04 1:11:53

Are there any children we know that we can make watch with that? When you get that one for the basement? Yeah, I'll get when you get that kid for the basement, we'll watch it with him. All right, well, mine.

SPEAKER_01 1:12:01

He's here.

SPEAKER_04 1:12:01

Can I say mine?

SPEAKER_01 1:12:03

Yeah, please.

SPEAKER_04 1:12:04

My grandma Lucy used to buy books. And you know kidding me? Uh but you know how you can get books that have even though the book came out first, they re-release the book when it becomes a movie, and then they use the movie poster as the book cover. Okay, well, this is where I saw it for the first time was the Jaws movie poster on the cover of the novel. And you know, we went to Florida all the time. I was terrified of that because she's swimming so f relaxedly at the top, and then you know, Jaws is underneath. That was it for me. That was a real moment.

SPEAKER_02 1:12:39

Wow, yeah. Good call.

SPEAKER_04 1:12:41

Thank you.

SPEAKER_02 1:12:42

When was the first time you saw Jaws?

SPEAKER_04 1:12:45

As an adult.

SPEAKER_02 1:12:47

Oh, really?

SPEAKER_04 1:12:48

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 1:12:48

Oh shit.

SPEAKER_04 1:12:49

I mean, we might have it might have even been upstairs in this house. Okay. But I actually sat and watched the whole thing. I don't think I'd ever seen it. I read it. I'd read it. I read it at my grandma's house. That was the thing I just could not stop myself. Like I knew it was gonna be scary.

SPEAKER_02 1:13:01

But you read so you did you read Jaws before you Yeah, I read it in junior high probably. How uh how's the book?

SPEAKER_04 1:13:08

Great.

SPEAKER_02 1:13:08

Is it yeah?

SPEAKER_04 1:13:09

Sad.

SPEAKER_02 1:13:10

It's like Peter Benchley, is that who writes that? Yes. Okay.

SPEAKER_04 1:13:13

It's kind of sad because it's like well, you know how a lot of 70s, 80s movies feel kind of like depressing?

SPEAKER_01 1:13:19

Oh yeah. Yeah, it's so depressing. It's very 70s especially.

SPEAKER_04 1:13:23

And it's like the uh the main guy and his the is it the sheriff and his wife that she has an affair? Or is it the researcher and his wife that has that the wife has an affair? Yeah, like that's sad makes you feel very empty. And then the whole thing's about people getting attacked by sharks. So there's not a lot of joy in the book. There's no joy in it actually.

SPEAKER_02 1:13:46

Do you do you think we could segue into the crying?

First Times Movies Made Us Cry

SPEAKER_04 1:13:49

Yeah, let's go into the crying.

SPEAKER_02 1:13:51

Because can may I? Please. So you know what mine is? What? Jaws uh little boy.

SPEAKER_04 1:13:58

Oh at the beginning?

SPEAKER_02 1:14:00

Yeah. Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 1:14:01

In there is it when they're swim there everybody's out there swimming. Yes. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 1:14:04

Alex. Alex goes out and he gets eaten by Jaws, but his mom is like freaking out. And I just like too much. That was the first time I remember crying and watching something. Because I was just like, it was just horrible. I felt so awful for her.

SPEAKER_04 1:14:23

Like it was just Yeah, your empath, your mirror neurons were fully engaged.

SPEAKER_02 1:14:27

Yeah, it's it's it's I I know uh these all sound like I'm some like I'm trying to pick cherry pick things that make me sound like a great person, like full of empathy for.

SPEAKER_04 1:14:36

I don't think that. Okay. Don't worry, guys, it's not that's not what he's doing.

SPEAKER_02 1:14:39

But it really, like, it just really uh just really freaks.

SPEAKER_04 1:14:43

It's okay if six-year-old Rob was a good person.

SPEAKER_02 1:14:45

It's like what like I I l I stopped watching Schindler's List.

SPEAKER_04 1:14:49

Like I've never been able to watch it.

SPEAKER_02 1:14:51

I had to I come back and watch it later because uh in my life, because it's just the the similar scenes except way worse, really. Well, I don't know, Jaws, Nazis and they're all pretty bad.

SPEAKER_04 1:15:03

I feel like Nazis are worse.

SPEAKER_02 1:15:06

Definitely they're but I mean like watching Nazis had intent. Like if you're watching a child be murdered on screen. Yeah, it's pretty bad. It's pretty bad. Oh, did your mom know that a child dies in Jaws?

SPEAKER_04 1:15:17

Should we tell her? Trigger warning Terry, a child dies.

SPEAKER_02 1:15:21

Alex Alex Kidna. Uh well yeah, his name was Alex Kidner.

SPEAKER_04 1:15:26

I have like a never-ending list of things that made me cry because Is All Dogs Go to Heaven on there? It is. All dogs go to heaven when she's saying Charlie, you can never come back.

SPEAKER_02 1:15:36

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 1:15:37

Five.

SPEAKER_02 1:15:39

Somewhere out there. Yeah, somewhere, yeah. It's pretty happy.

SPEAKER_04 1:15:44

But I'll say, and I have the never-ending story on there too, when our tax dies. I already have that.

SPEAKER_02 1:15:49

I don't know if I cried, I think it was just disgusted.

SPEAKER_04 1:15:52

But uh the last unicorn when they're at the end and then they're in the ocean and all the unicorns are out there in the ocean. I still don't understand that scene. But I was cr my me and my dad are just sitting there shoulder shaking tears silently, tears are streaming down both of our faces.

SPEAKER_02 1:16:11

Is that Jeff Bridges?

SPEAKER_04 1:16:12

Yeah, in America.

SPEAKER_02 1:16:13

America, did the soundtrack, yeah.

SPEAKER_04 1:16:15

Uh-huh. Uh, but yeah, that was those are mine. But I cried at everything.

SPEAKER_02 1:16:20

Now you watched that a lot though, right? Yeah. So did you always cry or do you eventually just build up a little bit? I don't remember. I don't remember. I just remember crying out. Swimming dead unicorns.

SPEAKER_04 1:16:30

I also cried my eyes out at My Girl.

SPEAKER_02 1:16:34

Yeah. I think that would have My Girl might have been one of the first movies I remember. I remember making fun of the movie in such a terrible way to avoid crying. Like making fun of Macaulay Calkins. He needs his glasses on what a dork. I'm glad he's dead. Yeah. You know, that kind of stuff. Because if I just sat there and watched it and thought about it, I probably would have cried.

SPEAKER_04 1:16:56

But like I would cry all the time. I was reading where where the red fern grows?

SPEAKER_02 1:17:01

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 1:17:01

Is that about the dogs?

SPEAKER_02 1:17:03

I'm hunting dogs. Bridge to Terabithia and where the red fern fern grows, I think I've mixed them up.

SPEAKER_04 1:17:09

Well, Bridge to Terabithia, I did not ever actually.

SPEAKER_02 1:17:11

Is that a said?

SPEAKER_04 1:17:12

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 1:17:12

Okay. Gotcha.

SPEAKER_04 1:17:13

Yeah, because the kid goes out by I think it's the girl that goes out by herself. So one of them in a wheelchair or is that where the red grown Red fern grows.

SPEAKER_02 1:17:21

Or maybe nothing. No, maybe nothing at all.

SPEAKER_04 1:17:23

I don't think that anyone's in a wheelchair, though. But I would rather have a wheel at school and be crying at school and be so embarrassed that I because I like have to put the book away.

SPEAKER_02 1:17:31

That's like when I picked up uh Omi. She had just watched the notebook. Like just watched it. I don't remember what the circumstances were, but she was just a puddle. She was a mess.

SPEAKER_04 1:17:44

Or like up.

SPEAKER_01 1:17:46

Oh gosh.

Crushes And Must Watch TV Rituals

SPEAKER_04 1:17:46

When I was eight months pregnant, we went and watched up. Um okay, yeah, that's good. All right. What's next? Uh let's go back to first movie or show that made you aware of the opposite sex.

SPEAKER_02 1:18:01

Um I don't know which one it is. I'm gonna say it's probably Charles in Charge, Nicole Eggert. I think I remember seeing her. I don't know how old I would have been. The show's was on for since I was like two. So it was probably really early on. Maybe like five, maybe five or six, I'll just say. And I just remember thinking like I I just remember not not thinking this, but just dawning on like I didn't know somebody could be that attractive. Like I didn't know that was possible. Like I just remember being like struck.

SPEAKER_04 1:18:35

I don't even know what she looks like.

SPEAKER_02 1:18:37

Um I don't know what she looks like now, but I don't want to look her up as a little kid either, because it's it's there's such a screwed up this is a very screwed-up exercise for me because you're like associating pa like with hot children. It's it's a mess. Alyssa Milano would be a second, but she wasn't a first. Um I would say then there was this is so random, and this took a little bit of research. There's a Tony Danza movie in 1989 called She's Out of Control.

SPEAKER_03 1:19:07

Okay.

SPEAKER_02 1:19:08

Okay, so I the Amy Dolans is the name of the actress. She's a teenager. But do you didn't have cable, but you ever stay in a are you familiar with like the pay-per-view trailers? They just run them all day long.

SPEAKER_03 1:19:23

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 1:19:24

I would sit there and watch the trailers. Like I've seen so many freaking movie trailers between like the late 80s and the early 90s. It's not even like it's so funny. And there was this one that came on, she's out of control. And the way I found it was because I couldn't remember, I've never even seen the movie. It looks awful. It looks so bad.

SPEAKER_04 1:19:41

Hortense.

SPEAKER_02 1:19:42

I kind of want to watch it actually.

SPEAKER_04 1:19:43

Oh my gosh. But it's we have to go to work sometimes.

SPEAKER_02 1:19:47

Matthew Perry's in it too. Um and uh uh Will Sean, uh the guy for uh never mind, forget it. Okay, so it's about this girl who gets like a like a makeover and she becomes hot and like all the guys want to date her.

SPEAKER_03 1:20:04

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 1:20:05

And but if it it's it's the uh not the kinks, but uh Van Halen's version of You Really Got Me. Okay. I just remember that song going down.

SPEAKER_01 1:20:13

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 1:20:14

And then she starts like going from like ugly duckling to like running on the beach, just Baywatch style. Yeah, and I was just like like anytime I hear that when I was like in the playroom watching TV or whatever, I'd just be like, watch that trailer. Like I'd be locked in. I was so into it.

SPEAKER_04 1:20:35

Anyway, so uh I had trouble. I didn't nothing popped up. The only thing that popped up at all was a sandlot. Benny the Jet Rodriguez. That came to my mind, and we used to re-watch certain scenes where he was like running, or I mean, we would watch, it was me and Ryan.

SPEAKER_02 1:20:54

That was what, 90? 1990, maybe?

SPEAKER_04 1:20:57

I was definitely in elementary school when it came out.

SPEAKER_02 1:21:00

Gotcha.

SPEAKER_04 1:21:01

But I we watched at a sleepover a couple different. We would always somebody who had a copy of it would bring it and we would watch the scenes with him where he would be doing some physical activity.

SPEAKER_02 1:21:11

The Sandlaud is perfect because it's uh I'll I'll comment on, you know, my um Can I would say it my sexual relationship with Benny the Jet Review? But uh But it's so cool. I've you're not the like there's a lot of like that is like a truly uh I know just as many girls who love that movie as I do boys.

SPEAKER_04 1:21:38

Well the dog, that was my favorite part of it.

SPEAKER_02 1:21:40

Yeah. But uh who was the Wendy Peppercorn?

SPEAKER_04 1:21:44

Oh yeah.

SPEAKER_02 1:21:45

She was yeah, she was hot. She's maybe like the at that point, I yeah. Was she kind of like a um Nicole Eggert woke me up after that? I don't, it's hard to remember.

SPEAKER_04 1:21:55

Uh what was the girl's name on The Wonder Years?

SPEAKER_02 1:21:59

Uh Winnie.

SPEAKER_04 1:22:00

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 1:22:01

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 1:22:01

Was she kind of a character like that?

SPEAKER_02 1:22:03

Winnie Cooper?

SPEAKER_04 1:22:03

Yeah. In the sandlot.

SPEAKER_02 1:22:06

Uh she's the one. She was the life no, I wouldn't say so. She was a lifeguard. She was a lifeguard. Oh, that was kind of a that scene, I don't know how well that aged, honestly.

SPEAKER_04 1:22:15

We should watch it again.

SPEAKER_02 1:22:17

I love that movie. I just want to watch that scene over and over again.

SPEAKER_04 1:22:21

Yeah, just that scene's fine. Alright. Something you went out of your way to watch.

SPEAKER_02 1:22:29

Oh man. Um, oh yeah, yeah. Uh G.I. Joe.

SPEAKER_04 1:22:35

I hate that answer. I hated that.

SPEAKER_02 1:22:37

G.I. Joe, the cartoon.

SPEAKER_04 1:22:38

And I hated it the end when they would have like a little PSA. Oh, I hated that so much.

SPEAKER_02 1:22:43

I didn't necessarily like that, but I loved it.

SPEAKER_04 1:22:45

I really felt very much like don't tell me what to do.

SPEAKER_02 1:22:50

That's boy, that sounds like something I would say.

SPEAKER_04 1:22:52

I know.

SPEAKER_02 1:22:52

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 1:22:53

Um I was like, this is a boy cartoon.

SPEAKER_02 1:22:55

I thought it was dumb. I thought that part was kind of stupid. Why are they GI Joe? It was kind of cool to see like uh the reality TV version of you know Flint or whatever.

SPEAKER_04 1:23:06

But like community.

SPEAKER_00 1:23:09

Yeah. Community episode where they're Flint and Rob Flint and Roeblock in the morning.

SPEAKER_02 1:23:15

But it was uh I loved that show. I just I don't I don't I it's one of those shows I had I the only thing I've seen it in the last ten years, but only the movie. They made a movie out of it. Do you ever see that?

SPEAKER_04 1:23:29

Yeah. Do you can you describe what what going out of your way to watch it looked like?

SPEAKER_02 1:23:35

I don't know if this is true or not, but I definitely have memories of waking up when the clock said five something.

SPEAKER_04 1:23:41

You had to get up and watch it before school.

SPEAKER_02 1:23:42

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Before school, because I knew it was on before school. It was on real early, and I would just go in and watch whatever it was, if it was in the middle of it or the beginning, or I don't care. I just want to watch G.I. Joe. Now that I'm thinking about it, it was probably the first time I have ever noticed the an animated opposite sex.

SPEAKER_04 1:24:02

Oh, uh like uh what was her name?

SPEAKER_02 1:24:05

Scarlet? Yeah. Uh Baroness?

SPEAKER_04 1:24:08

Yes. I mean Well, they're drawn pretty hot. Yeah. Would you like Jessica Rabbit?

SPEAKER_02 1:24:13

A bunch of guys who watch Star Trek. If you were to pick two people, one guy who likes Star Wars and one guy who likes Star Trek to see his artwork of the opposite sex.

SPEAKER_01 1:24:21

Star Wars? Star Trek. Star Trek 100%.

SPEAKER_02 1:24:27

Um Star Wars did be like she may be hot, but she'd have a very big fat slobbery booger next to her or something like that. Um anyways, what was your question? Um Jessica Rabbit?

SPEAKER_04 1:24:39

Yeah, did you think she was hot?

SPEAKER_02 1:24:40

Yeah. Yeah, that's a good yeah.

SPEAKER_04 1:24:42

She's not bad though. She's just drawn that way.

SPEAKER_02 1:24:44

She's just drawn that way. Patty cake.

SPEAKER_04 1:24:47

Mine was. Do you want to guess what mine was? Um I I used to m ask my mom to cook dinner around when the show would come on so that it would either be before we ate or after we ate, but not at the same time. Because it came on at six.

SPEAKER_02 1:25:02

Was it Ghost Rider? It's Full House. Full House. Oh.

SPEAKER_04 1:25:06

Full House came on at six. At least here it did. And I would be like, please have dinner done before or after. I don't want to have to sit at the t try to watch this from the table. You know?

SPEAKER_02 1:25:17

I was definitely big, big in full house, too. Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 1:25:19

I also I also thought Uncle Jesse was hot.

SPEAKER_02 1:25:22

He was probably um He was he was hot.

SPEAKER_04 1:25:24

He was probably uh an early opposite sex awareness for me as well. Opposite sex awareness. That sounds like a PSA.

SPEAKER_02 1:25:33

And Becky was kind of a she was a sort of a slow burn for me. Like I didn't I thought she was kind of I never I didn't think anything of her.

SPEAKER_04 1:25:40

I never thought Steve was cute. I thought he was like goofball. Um I really didn't like it.

SPEAKER_02 1:25:45

But nowadays I'm all about Lori Laughlin. Lori Laughlin.

SPEAKER_04 1:25:50

Uh all right. Do you have any honorable mentions that you want to put up?

SPEAKER_02 1:25:54

Uh I think I already said it. Oh. It was um Beetlejuice. I guess that would be a category of any time an entire group of kids should have gotten individually grounded, but instead of the case.

Batman And X-Men Cartoon Reverence

SPEAKER_04 1:26:06

But because they were all doing what you got nothing. Well, my honorable mention was the Batman cartoon. It didn't have it didn't fit into any of these categories, but it it came on probably at 5 or 5 30, like right before Full House. I think it was like Animaniacs, another great show. And Batman cartoon, and then Full House, and then Family Matters or something. Maybe not Family Matters, maybe maybe Fresh Prince.

SPEAKER_02 1:26:30

Maybe. I don't know. Um I never watched the Batman cartoon.

SPEAKER_04 1:26:34

Are you serious? Yeah, I know. Did you ever want to?

SPEAKER_00 1:26:37

I don't know why I didn't.

SPEAKER_04 1:26:39

Well, my dad loved it, and my sister loved it, and then I just got into it as well. I heard it's a best episode. My favorite episode, because you know it's never there's never sunshine there. Ever, ever, ever. But there's one episode where Batman rescues kids from the sewer and they take the sewer thing lit off. It's the very end of the episode, and just for like a minute, as they're lifting the kids up out of the sewer, it's the sun is shining. It's like one of the only episodes where the sun is out in Gotham City.

SPEAKER_02 1:27:04

We should do uh we should we should watch it. But I uh we'll talk about that.

SPEAKER_04 1:27:10

But I'd also like to throw a love, a little bit of love towards the X-Men cartoon.

SPEAKER_02 1:27:13

I was just about to say there's two there's two there's two TV shows cartoons that I would actually like to go back as an adult and watch again.

SPEAKER_03 1:27:21

Uh-huh.

SPEAKER_02 1:27:22

And that's X-Men, and there's X-Men 97, which we started watching. Why did we st there's been a lot of shows we just quit watching, not because they were bad.

SPEAKER_04 1:27:29

No, but because we have uh children.

SPEAKER_02 1:27:30

Yeah, or something else came up, or like, oh, this just came out. Let's watch that and we'll go back to it. Like Resident Alien. We're not we're not dropping that, are we?

SPEAKER_04 1:27:38

No.

SPEAKER_02 1:27:38

Farscape?

SPEAKER_04 1:27:40

Oh my gosh, Farscape. I'd rather watch that than Resident Alien.

SPEAKER_02 1:27:43

Would you really?

SPEAKER_04 1:27:43

There's something about Resident Alien that makes me nervous about watching it.

SPEAKER_02 1:27:46

It's a little like Dexter. Yes. It makes me it I get serious Dexter vibes off of it, which is another reason I like it. I love it.

SPEAKER_04 1:27:54

It's very good. Once it's on and we're watching it, I'm always like, let's watch we could watch another one. But it's hard for me to. Get back into it.

SPEAKER_02 1:28:01

But there's X-Men and X-Men 97 and then Batman. Because I've I've heard it's great. And Mark Hamill is the Joker, right?

SPEAKER_04 1:28:08

Oh my gosh, I've heard that but not known.

SPEAKER_02 1:28:12

Yeah, it's like one of his most beloved roles. Wow. I'm almost positive it's including that cartoon. Maybe started that cartoon.

SPEAKER_04 1:28:18

I loved that cartoon.

SPEAKER_02 1:28:19

I heard it's great.

SPEAKER_04 1:28:21

I mean, if I had not watched that cartoon, I don't think I would care much about the movies. That's probably not true because I love superhero stuff. But anyway. Alright, we better transition because we have been talking for one hour and 20 minutes.

Choosing She’s Leaving Home

SPEAKER_01 1:28:37

Sergeant Sergeant Peppers.

SPEAKER_02 1:28:40

Red What's that band with uh Anthony uh Quitus and Fly? Um Red Pepper.

SPEAKER_04 1:28:48

Yep. I don't know what you're talking about. I love Red Pepper though.

SPEAKER_02 1:28:53

The Red Hat Chili Peppers. I said Anthony Quitus and Fly.

SPEAKER_04 1:28:57

Oh. Flea.

SPEAKER_02 1:29:00

Yeah, I know.

SPEAKER_04 1:29:01

I wasn't listening. I was pulling up the album because I wanted to see at which point she's leaving home as well.

SPEAKER_02 1:29:06

It was a half Tim and Eric reference.

SPEAKER_04 1:29:09

Alright, well, I chose She's Leaving Home this week because I thought we could do it nicely because it has two singing parts. That's the thing, like a lot of times people I've said this a million times, but uh at my work as a music therapist, if I get requests for a lot of songs that are oldies, they're very hard for me to do alone because so much oldies music is groups, singing groups. Bands that have more than one singer, you know, girl groups, boy groups, and it's like Beach Boys is almost impossible to mention their own.

SPEAKER_02 1:29:37

All the riffs and stuff, like where you gotta play like five instruments.

SPEAKER_04 1:29:41

Which is kind of a sad commentary on today's music because it's a lot easier to do that by yourself. But anyway, that today, people the pop music of today is a bit more simplistic than it used to be. But anyway, so I was like, ooh, I want to do this Beatles song, and Rob can do we can sing, we can both sing it.

SPEAKER_02 1:29:57

Good call.

SPEAKER_04 1:29:58

And it's pretty, and it's off my favorite Beatles album.

SPEAKER_02 1:30:02

Sgt. Pepper's your favorite Beatles album.

SPEAKER_04 1:30:04

Yeah. I think I said that last time, maybe. I've said it recently.

SPEAKER_02 1:30:07

You have.

SPEAKER_04 1:30:09

And that's the other thing, is I think it was one of my maybe it was a cover or it was a B-side or She's Leaving Home was sort of.

SPEAKER_02 1:30:18

Yes, it definitely was. We've definitely talked about Sgt. Pepper before.

SPEAKER_04 1:30:21

In the recent past. In the recent episodic, episodic past. Uh but it's yeah, it's I what I love about it, and maybe the other ones are this way too, but this one is just the way it goes from track to track, is just combs my brain.

SPEAKER_02 1:30:36

Just the transitions and the way just the way it moves. Yes. It's got a theme.

SPEAKER_04 1:30:41

Uh and this particular song is very beautiful. Has some interesting musical stuff going on. Well, I mean they all do, but has some interesting borrowed chords. And I hate the parents. I hate the mom. You hate the mom?

SPEAKER_02 1:30:56

You know I hate the mom.

SPEAKER_05 1:31:11

Please take a note.

SPEAKER_02 1:31:13

Have you ever That's my top tip?

SPEAKER_04 1:31:17

Oh no. Is it a child?

SPEAKER_02 1:31:19

I don't care. I'll put it in the sky. Well, if it's a kid It won't come through um if it's a kid. It'll come through if it's a kid.

SPEAKER_04 1:31:27

Okay, one kid's here, one kid's skiing.

SPEAKER_02 1:31:29

Yes. So Okay. Uh yeah. The we're just parenting. Do you hate us now?

SPEAKER_04 1:31:35

Um I don't hate parents. I hate parents that are that can relate to the parent in this song.

SPEAKER_02 1:31:41

Have you ever read The Great Divorce? No. C. Is that C. S Lewis? It really, really reminds me of not just the mom. There's a mom in this story who is upset. It's basically just it it more or less, we'll just say it takes place in purgatory. For lack of a bet of a more intricate explanation, but it feels pretty intricate, actually. It's pretty intricate. Uh you're referencing C.S.

SPEAKER_04 1:32:07

Lewis in Purgatory, so.

SPEAKER_02 1:32:09

Yeah. And I'm about to reference more.

SPEAKER_04 1:32:11

Oh my god, yeah.

SPEAKER_02 1:32:12

There's all these people who just refuse to let go of what they think basically just selfish relationships that they think are the right way and can't see it in the other way. And the these parents, the mom especially, just she's just smack dab one of these characters almost. Uh huh. Sure. Almost exactly.

SPEAKER_04 1:32:33

I feel like I've read excerpts from it, maybe. It feels very it's a good book.

SPEAKER_02 1:32:37

Um yeah, I really liked it.

SPEAKER_04 1:32:39

Um is it a satire?

SPEAKER_02 1:32:42

I mean, you could like the letters. It feels more of a plea.

SPEAKER_04 1:32:47

Ah.

SPEAKER_02 1:32:49

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 1:32:49

I haven't read it then.

Parenting Lyrics And Real Story Origins

SPEAKER_02 1:32:50

Um screw tape letters is maybe a little bit more of a satire. Yeah. But, anyways, uh, it very much reminds me of there's a wife in this and then a mother in this, and they're both kind of just in the in the Great Divorce. Claim yes, yeah. Claim to love their their their child, their son in this case, or or or husband, but the way they love them is basically they own them. It serves them, it serves them, and they just it's disgusting. But it's also related to the thing.

SPEAKER_04 1:33:25

That's why when we were recording, we were doing a beautiful recording, but then you sang the wrong chorus, and I was like, I'm sorry, I need you to sing those words because it matters to the conversation I want to have about. That's okay. But but that's why that is why I was like, I would have let it go if it was just like a nut a different song, but that is like the what you're singing. I wanted to talk about that part.

SPEAKER_02 1:33:47

That was the I was singing the third part, but I was supposed to sing the second part.

SPEAKER_04 1:33:54

And I thought you were singing the first part again. We on We sacrificed most of our lives.

SPEAKER_02 1:33:59

Yes. Uh well now I'm blur now I'm blending them. The the way they transition between I'm gonna grab the the lyrics.

SPEAKER_04 1:34:08

Oh my gosh, he's leaving screen. He's breaking the fourth wall. Yeah, he probably is crashing into something right now. I wish you guys could see what I could see right now. It features butt. It's a butt. It features butt.

SPEAKER_00 1:34:25

Uh have you tried the butt?

SPEAKER_04 1:34:27

Oh, no butt.

SPEAKER_02 1:34:29

It's uh ladies' man. Okay. Uh it we didn't know it was wrong. No, that part is a little more of a okay. Poor poor thing.

SPEAKER_04 1:34:38

It's the middle one down there.

SPEAKER_02 1:34:39

Yeah, we never thought of ourselves.

SPEAKER_04 1:34:41

Yeah, right.

SPEAKER_02 1:34:42

Of course, when I was singing, I said we never thought for ourselves.

SPEAKER_04 1:34:45

Well, that's okay. I I missed a word or here and there.

SPEAKER_02 1:34:47

So uh never thought for ourselves. We struggled hard all our lives. That's not the actually, I'm thinking um uh we gave her most of our lives.

SPEAKER_04 1:34:58

Yeah, we sacrificed most of our lives.

SPEAKER_02 1:34:59

Why would they say she's a it's it's say it's changes from we or our to my and it just it just screams selfishness. I can't. It's I'm bad at I'm bad at reading.

SPEAKER_04 1:35:11

What did we do that was wrong? We didn't know it was wrong. Fun is the one thing money can't buy. No, it's it's uh She's we gave her No, it's not there's no my there's a there's a part where yeah it is.

SPEAKER_02 1:35:23

Keep talking, I'll find out.

SPEAKER_04 1:35:24

There isn't.

SPEAKER_02 1:35:25

There is.

SPEAKER_04 1:35:27

Oh, it's it's when it's when father it's why would she treat us so thoughtlessly?

SPEAKER_02 1:35:31

Yes. How could she do this to me? Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 1:35:33

And I feel like that's a Well, and then it says she's been living alone. She after she's leaving home after living alone, and I'm like, that's a sad commentary because she's living with her mom and dad, but she's alone.

SPEAKER_02 1:35:48

Oh yeah, good call. This is do you know it's kind of based on a true story?

SPEAKER_04 1:35:51

About which one of them?

SPEAKER_02 1:35:53

Uh about well well, Paul technically, but let me explain. There was a there was a girl named Melanie Coe, who was she was 17 years old. They he read about it in the paper. She was 17 years old, she ran away from home, and the father's quote to the press was I cannot I cannot imagine why she would run away. She she has everything here. And he kind of ran with that like I got in a second.

SPEAKER_04 1:36:18

Does she?

SPEAKER_02 1:36:19

Right. And a funny thing is, is uh three years, I think it was three years earlier, she met Paul McCartney.

SPEAKER_03 1:36:29

Oh wow.

SPEAKER_02 1:36:29

At a completely unrelated thing, had nothing to do with it. She was on uh I don't know if I wrote it down. I should have uh but uh look it up sometime. Melanie Coe and Paul McCartney. It's just kind of a uh coincidence.

SPEAKER_04 1:36:41

Yeah, did not know that. Um learned something new on this channel, guys. See, you do like this show after all.

SPEAKER_01 1:36:45

See?

Sgt Pepper Favorites And Arrangement Drama

SPEAKER_04 1:36:46

See, we uh didn't just trying to drown her.

SPEAKER_02 1:36:51

See, I love that so much. Anyways, uh this is is this your favorite song on the album?

SPEAKER_04 1:36:59

No. I think Sgt. Pepper's my favorite song. Is it really? Yeah. I just love that French horn on this killer.

SPEAKER_02 1:37:08

Yeah, I I also like Hendrix's favorite song too, because he uh three days after this album came out, he came out and and I think some of the Beatles, I'm just gonna say Paul and John, fact check this, but he he came out on stage and played Sgt. Pepper.

SPEAKER_03 1:37:25

Oh.

SPEAKER_02 1:37:26

After three days after it been out, and that was it. They were like that was a huge like, oh wow, yeah.

SPEAKER_04 1:37:32

I also like a day in the life.

SPEAKER_02 1:37:34

Yes, yeah. I mean, that's a really, really good song.

SPEAKER_04 1:37:38

Yeah. Honestly, this is uh I it would probably be in my top ten favorite albums of all time, which wow, you have a Beatles album on your top ten list. What a cool person, unique person you must be.

SPEAKER_02 1:37:49

Let me ask you this. Would it be on would it rank higher if it also had Penny Lane and Strawberry Fields on it?

SPEAKER_04 1:37:57

I don't care.

SPEAKER_02 1:37:57

Because it originally did.

SPEAKER_04 1:37:58

Oh, really? I didn't know that.

SPEAKER_02 1:38:00

And then they split it off into singles. There was like a deal back then where they they tend to keep their singles separate from the main album. So they sort of did that, but then they mixed it into the which is uh I think the follow-up album to Sgt. Pepper.

SPEAKER_04 1:38:16

No, I just know it as I know it, so I don't care if there's things missing from it because I didn't know that.

SPEAKER_02 1:38:21

The what'd you think about the um the orchestra? What did you think about the arrangement?

SPEAKER_04 1:38:28

No, it's beautiful. We did not try to recreate violins and harps. Sorry.

SPEAKER_02 1:38:33

A little bit. I try to call it.

SPEAKER_04 1:38:34

I think that line is a cello. Da da da da da da da da da.

SPEAKER_02 1:38:38

Oh, is it?

SPEAKER_04 1:38:40

I think. I think. You know, if I'm wrong, write it in the comments.

SPEAKER_02 1:38:42

You covered the harp part with the beginning on the piano. I did. I'm glad you did that. I kept trying to do it on the I it's hard to do with both. Yeah, it's it's quick and I it's a big jump. I was trying to play it, match the tone. I could do it at half speed, real cool and do it with octaves, and it sounded neat, but it is not at whole speed. I'm glad you did it. Much, much easier and it sounded better. But the uh I did try to do the the that syncopated. I love this part where it's the it's all the violins. It sounds way cooler when they do it.

SPEAKER_04 1:39:13

It's like and it's like where the parents are discovering she's gone and they're saying, How could she do this to me?

SPEAKER_02 1:39:19

And it's that's that's so great. Uh, but but this was done. So George Martin, who normally arranged, he's like the genius behind a lot of the instruments that aren't because like no one played anything. No beetle played no one played anything on this album. No one, neither of them, so Ringo and George didn't do anything on this song. Lennon sang, McCartney sang. They didn't do anything else.

SPEAKER_03 1:39:43

Really?

SPEAKER_02 1:39:44

Yeah. Wow. But it was the rest of it was pure uh Phil Harmon's game. George R. R. Martin. George R. Martin's gang. No, it actually it wasn't George Martin. It was, it was this was kind of a little bit of drama here.

SPEAKER_04 1:39:57

Phil Har Har Martin.

SPEAKER_02 1:39:59

It was Phil Har Martin. How did you do that?

SPEAKER_04 1:40:08

Sorry, I hit my head on the microphone.

SPEAKER_02 1:40:11

Um, it was uh Mike Leander, I think I'm saying his name right. He did this is the only Beatles song that Martin did not arrange.

SPEAKER_03 1:40:20

Oh, wow.

SPEAKER_02 1:40:21

Because McCartney wanted to throw this as as legend has it, McCarty wanted to get it going. George Martin, George R. Martin, Phil Hartman.

SPEAKER_04 1:40:30

He was so busy writing Graham of Thrums. Graham of Thrums. And this is why we can't do 90 minutes. I'm hungry for Fredio.

SPEAKER_02 1:40:48

He wanted to do he wanted to do the song. Martin wasn't available, so he just went ahead and did it. And I guess it kind of hurt his feelings. He went ahead and did a cover of it with David and Jonathan, which would have been it's it's worth listening to. First of all.

SPEAKER_04 1:41:02

Sorry, David. I mean George.

SPEAKER_02 1:41:04

Baby David and Jonathan. The David and Jonathan cover is worth listening to. First of all, it's not bad, but it's worth listening to because you could hear. If you're a big fan of the song and a big fan of George Martin, you could hear what it would have probably sounded like had he done it. Cool. Because he had something in mind, apparently.

SPEAKER_03 1:41:23

Oh, I think that's a good one.

Best Covers Dream Covers B-Sides

SPEAKER_02 1:41:25

It had like an oboe, and it's it's a bit more lean. It's a bit more. I'm stealing from what I've read, but it's a bit more Baroque. Um it's great. It's still great. Anyways, worth worth checking out.

SPEAKER_04 1:41:36

Well, you guys go listen to it.

SPEAKER_02 1:41:38

Can I talk about the covers I listen to? Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 1:41:40

And then we have to talk about the other things, and then we have to be done.

SPEAKER_02 1:41:43

That's right. And we will be, and it's gonna be great, honey. Just you and me. So I listened to has been over 90 minutes. Just Harry Nilsson. Okay. Listen to him do it. Pretty good. Uh worth worth listening to. I know the Beatles were a fan, and they might have been a fan of him because he covered the song. I don't know. Maybe they maybe got to their head. Um, David and Jonathan had talked about that. Billy Bragg and Kara Tivy, Tyvey. Um, probably Tyvey. Uh, that is one where I when I heard you play the piano, the intro, like the heart part. Yeah. You played that better than Billy Bragg, in my opinion. I did. I think so. Sorry, Billy.

SPEAKER_04 1:42:22

You must be terrible.

SPEAKER_02 1:42:24

Well, it that was more of a not to not to put to throw Billy under the under the bus.

SPEAKER_04 1:42:29

Proverbial bus.

SPEAKER_02 1:42:31

But just to say that you well, because I was trying to tell you your version sounds great. Let's just go with it. And you were like, no, no, no.

SPEAKER_04 1:42:40

And I threw myself on the ground and had a temper tantrum and said, This better never see the light of day.

SPEAKER_02 1:42:45

Only like some of that happened.

SPEAKER_04 1:42:47

Um I did say that though.

SPEAKER_02 1:42:49

Richie, but you weren't on the ground. There's too many ladybugs down there.

SPEAKER_04 1:42:52

I wanted to be. There's no room in here.

SPEAKER_02 1:42:54

Richie Havens does a version of this. Wow. You know what? I know you don't like Richie Havens, but but I do. Have you ever heard him do uh No, I'm sure I haven't.

SPEAKER_04 1:43:03

Say it though.

SPEAKER_02 1:43:04

Well now I can't remember. It was uh it's a Bob Dylan song, um Just uh uh Just Like a Woman. You know that song Just Like a Woman? Okay, well anyways, if you like Just Like a Woman, listen the Richie Haven's version of Just Like a Woman, listen to this Beatles song.

SPEAKER_04 1:43:22

Okay.

SPEAKER_02 1:43:22

I'll Richie Haven's version because it's got a very similar feel. Okay. Pianos doing similar things, strong pattern's the same. He's singing both parts. It's pretty good. It's it's it's good. Um worth listening to. Flaming lips? Do a cover of it.

SPEAKER_04 1:43:36

Is that good?

SPEAKER_02 1:43:39

It sounds like if I don't know. I don't know if I want to use this, but it sounds like if uh no, kind of. I mean it's not so it's not a surprise.

SPEAKER_04 1:43:52

It's very like um That's a good I should have come up with them on my own, but continue.

SPEAKER_02 1:43:58

It sounds like if this was for a soundtrack in Adventure Time. That kind of uh techno pop kind of sound. Cool. It's Flaming Lips and I don't know these other folks, but Phantogram, Juliana Barwick, it's a female vocals on the singing the whole thing, and Space Face. Cool. Trip hop, that's what it's like.

SPEAKER_04 1:44:20

You guys like 808s kind of I wish I had thought of the flaming lips for my cover.

SPEAKER_02 1:44:24

Hey, but you know, we got to talk about them.

SPEAKER_04 1:44:27

I know, but they're so they have a they have a the a knack for ethereal uh kind of music that kind of drifts like that would have fit.

SPEAKER_02 1:44:38

We're gonna do Yoshimi at some point.

SPEAKER_04 1:44:40

We need to do Yoshima.

SPEAKER_02 1:44:40

Battle of the Pink Robots, yeah. Good too. We saw Flaming Lips anyway. You've seen Yoshim.

SPEAKER_04 1:44:44

Yoshimi battles the pink robots.

SPEAKER_02 1:44:46

What did I say?

SPEAKER_04 1:44:47

Battle of the pink robots?

SPEAKER_02 1:44:48

I don't know if I said that.

SPEAKER_04 1:44:50

He did. We can verify that.

SPEAKER_02 1:44:51

I didn't think it.

SPEAKER_04 1:44:52

Okay.

SPEAKER_02 1:44:53

You can't prove that wrong.

SPEAKER_04 1:44:54

That's true. Intent has no place.

SPEAKER_02 1:44:59

Real quick, uh Brad. I don't know how to say his name. Mel Maldo, I'm gonna say. M-E-H-L-L-D-A-U Trio. That's a nine-minute jazz instrumental.

SPEAKER_04 1:45:13

Ooh, sounds pretty.

SPEAKER_02 1:45:14

It was really good. He's a great piano player.

SPEAKER_04 1:45:16

Is that who's getting your award?

SPEAKER_02 1:45:17

He's probably gonna get my nobody award, even though he's not really a nobody. Technically, he has less than 50,000 subscribers, but he has won a Grammy.

SPEAKER_04 1:45:25

Oh.

SPEAKER_02 1:45:26

So he's not really he's out of the running. I know, but I I I I I ran I didn't listen to any but real amateurs.

SPEAKER_04 1:45:33

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 1:45:33

This is great, though. Like this is if you like, if you like jazz, and it's it's a little, I wouldn't say it's avant-garde, but it's a little out there as far as jazz. It'd be like Bill Evans. If you like Bill Evans, uh uh his name is uh Brad Brad Meldow.

SPEAKER_04 1:45:47

Meldo Meldao, I think is how you would say that.

SPEAKER_02 1:45:50

But yeah, it's real jazzy, but he plays all the vo voicings of of both parts. Both parts, and then some.

SPEAKER_03 1:45:57

Yeah. Wonderful.

SPEAKER_02 1:45:58

You know, that's great. I love that. It's one of my favorite covers I've listened to. And then uh the Bee Gees is a cover of it.

SPEAKER_04 1:46:05

Not that wasn't for you.

SPEAKER_02 1:46:06

Not great. No.

SPEAKER_04 1:46:08

Bee Gees. It's nice to hear that like if super famous people who covers and they're not the best. Makes me feel better.

SPEAKER_02 1:46:14

I always have to mention uh McJagger before. He's not the greatest cover artist. Um unless he's doing like an old blue song or something. ED209. It sounds like the Bee Gee's version sounds like of ED209 from Mobile Cup sang sang it.

SPEAKER_04 1:46:28

And just kept saying 10 minutes. Countdown.

SPEAKER_02 1:46:31

10 seconds.

SPEAKER_04 1:46:32

Ten seconds. 10 minutes. You have 10 minutes to put that gun down. Okay.

SPEAKER_01 1:46:41

All right. All right. Um Well, do you want to hear who I want to who my cover was gonna be?

SPEAKER_04 1:46:45

Yeah, I do.

SPEAKER_01 1:46:46

So dream cover.

SPEAKER_04 1:46:51

And especially, especially today.

SPEAKER_02 1:46:54

But you don't feel well.

SPEAKER_04 1:46:56

This has been a fun podcast. Oh, but I mean, just I never who I chose for both my cover and my B side.

SPEAKER_01 1:47:04

Okay.

SPEAKER_04 1:47:04

I would like to do because I I wanted to try, I was trying to think of a modern day band that has more than one singer. There just aren't a lot. So what I came up with was I'd like to hear Fun and AJ R get together and do this.

SPEAKER_02 1:47:21

Hmm.

SPEAKER_04 1:47:22

Fun is one person, AJR is three people.

SPEAKER_02 1:47:25

I feel like AJR, I thought I th I I think I get the two confused a lot. I'm like, is this fun? And you're like, no, it's AJR. Yeah. Are they the ones that say like the the the smallest violin or whatever? Yeah, yeah. They say that.

SPEAKER_04 1:47:38

They say it. They say it a couple times.

SPEAKER_02 1:47:39

It's a good song, though. Um who's your cubs? I was thinking after listening to Nilsen and uh Richie Havens, I thought I'd like to hear Jim Crocey do it.

SPEAKER_04 1:47:52

Who would do the other part though?

SPEAKER_02 1:47:54

Um welly. What's his name? No, I don't actually know how to say his last name. I've only seen it written. Mulesin. He died in the same crash that killed Jim Crocey. He was his guitar guy, and he also arranged a lot of the songs. I think he sang.

SPEAKER_04 1:48:13

So they can come to our concert and do this together?

SPEAKER_02 1:48:16

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 1:48:17

Okay.

SPEAKER_02 1:48:17

Croce had a lot of background, he had background singers and stuff. I'm gonna I'm I didn't plan for this, but um Croce, his whatever his go-to group was.

SPEAKER_04 1:48:27

That's who's gonna sing.

SPEAKER_02 1:48:29

And they're gonna do a great job, Jim. You got it. You got this, buddy. Oh, yes. Time time in a bottle. Time in a bottle. So that's actually I I I did the whole Havens thing. That's not what made me think of it. The thing that made me think of it was the opening to Time in a Bottle. It sounds very harp-like. Very harp-like, very similar. And uh I like that song. I do too. It's a great song. But uh yeah, crouchy.

SPEAKER_04 1:48:54

All right.

SPEAKER_02 1:48:57

B-side, what's yours?

SPEAKER_04 1:49:00

I just I had to. I had to. Cats in the cradle.

SPEAKER_02 1:49:05

Oh, that's a good one. It's perfect. Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 1:49:10

That's um It's a little too on the Joe, of course.

SPEAKER_02 1:49:14

Yeah, no, it is. Yeah. It's uh no, that's great.

SPEAKER_04 1:49:18

Well, it's yours.

SPEAKER_02 1:49:19

It's very on the nose. On the nose is not bad. On the nose is actually probably better than mine.

SPEAKER_04 1:49:24

Okay, what's yours?

SPEAKER_02 1:49:26

Uh I'm thinking. Well, first let me tell you what it's not. Do you know who Malcolm Arnold is? Sir Malcolm Arnold. He's a British composer.

SPEAKER_03 1:49:36

Okay.

SPEAKER_02 1:49:38

Is it because we're over 90 minutes?

SPEAKER_03 1:49:39

Yeah, we're real over it.

SPEAKER_02 1:49:41

Scottish Dance is number three. Reminds me of the opening. Forget it. Um, Elton John, someone saved my life tonight.

SPEAKER_04 1:49:47

Oh my gosh, I almost said Elton John and Lady Gaga for my cover.

SPEAKER_02 1:49:52

Oh, that'd be great. Well, yeah, someone saved my life tonight. Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_04 1:49:58

That's a good song. But it's a great song.

SPEAKER_00 1:50:00

Too many years. I always wanted to go, someone save my love.

SPEAKER_03 1:50:04

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 1:50:04

Sugar bear. Yes. But it's also like thematically, I can almost see it being The Girl Goes On. Uh-huh. Because you know what that song's about? Uh Ellen John?

SPEAKER_04 1:50:14

Is it not about his significant other? Yeah. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 1:50:21

Well it it is, but it's about him sp not marrying her. Like I don't remember the woman's name, but a real woman. He was he was having he was gonna get married, but you know, he's he's not right for women. Yeah, or he's bisexual or whatever the case was or slash is. Um and his I don't remember the guy's name, but somebody he was starting to get kind of like suicidal, I think. Oh and somebody gave him the advice just don't do this, don't do this, don't do it. And it made me think maybe that's what the girl goes into after she leaves. You know, she she finds out the hard way, and then you know, maybe she makes up with her parents afterwards. Yeah, no, she just comes up with new adult. And then the mom die and then the mom dies because Kurt Kurt uh what's his name?

SPEAKER_04 1:51:08

I don't know.

SPEAKER_02 1:51:08

For Bobo Copic blows her arm off.

SPEAKER_04 1:51:11

Oh, her hand first, though. Her hand first. Uh okay, and then soundtrack.

SPEAKER_02 1:51:17

Soundtrack. Soundtrack uh what the heck did I have for my soundtrack? You go first.

SPEAKER_04 1:51:24

Okay. This is so stupid. But I don't know, I don't think I can ever find it, but in my mind I remember watching an old version of City Mouse and Country Mouse. And I think it would go nicely over the country mouse.

SPEAKER_02 1:51:40

Whoa. I like that. I rem I'm sure there's a million versions of that, but I feel like I probably saw I really liked there.

SPEAKER_04 1:51:51

It had to be the same. It was, we'll just say that it was the same. And it's for that.

SPEAKER_02 1:51:56

Cool.

SPEAKER_04 1:51:56

Which was yours.

SPEAKER_02 1:51:58

I won't take you, I won't say all the thanks. Okay, good, because I'm just gonna say the maybe the wrestler. You're gonna be like, Oh, that Mickey Roar? Yeah, Mickey Roar. Did you ever see that?

SPEAKER_04 1:52:08

I don't think so.

SPEAKER_02 1:52:09

I don't really want to spoil the ending, but there's this part where he jumps off the turnbuckle and he's kind of just basically jumping into what he knows and saying goodbye to everything. Okay. I'll just leave it at that. I think that's a pretty cool application.
