Make a nice sense with Thomas Cena. All right. Hello, ladies and gentlemen. Oh, my friends, my real live friends, my Facebook friends. Why am I looking over here? It's like I'm looking off camera and it's I'm all right. Well, I know why. Because it's snowy. Uh yeah, it's kind of cool. Kind of cozy Sunday snow day. I may light a fire. Uh, and when I say light a fire, I mean push a button and hit a switch. Shh. Because you know I'm a modern man.

SPEAKER_01 0:38

I'm a modern man living in a modern world.

SPEAKER_02 0:40

Uh yeah. It is a real fire, though. It's not one of those fake electronic things that looks like a no, it's a never fire. It's just kind of electrostar. I don't even use the electric starter. I'll start it. I'll fire it up. I'll use a little and then start it and then light it and it'll go. And then I'll forget to shut the flu later on, and it'll be like, why is it 30 degrees in here? Uh it's okay. It's all good because coziness is what it's all about. And I love that. And I haven't really had a fire going much at all this winter, but I just kind of feel like it's a good time. It's a good day for that. Sundays. Sundays are special because of that. Anyway, snowing out. What else is going on? What are you guys doing tonight? Uh I know what I'm doing. Guess what? Oscars. It's Oscar night. It's Oscar day. Red carpet probably starts anytime now. I'm a little early. But hey, uh, by the time this gets out, I'm gonna try and get this done and put it right out if I can. We'll see if that happens. Doubt it will. Um anyway, uh, yeah. What else? Uh, what's going on? I haven't I did not post this. Uh I try to get these out on Wednesdays. My bad. And I know that you know, there's at least 10 of you out there that you don't care. And God love you. I get it. Uh just wait though. You will. You will eventually. Eventually, these will be like, it'll just be part of your morning little routine. You'll just, you know, you'll open up the old, you'll open up the phone. And then uh yeah, you'll be, oh, yeah, just time. I'll just listen to him for a minute. Because these will be these will get shorter and they'll get funnier. I promise you. Over time, they'll be funnier and they'll be shorter. I'm not gonna just keep on droning over silly stuff, but I am today. So um, no, no, no. Um, so let's see, I'll try and keep this brief today. How about that? How about that's our little deal today? I'll keep it brief. All right, um, and I'll keep it upbeat. I'll keep it upbeat. I may even maybe I'll edit it quick. Maybe I'll do the quick edits. And uh, yeah, you don't know. You don't know me. You don't know. All right, so uh what did I do? I enjoyed some cookies. I enjoyed some somebody made me some cookies, somebody very nice. Uh if you're out there and you're watching, I know you might be, thank you. Those were so yummy, and guess what? Didn't save any for the kids. Didn't didn't happen. Wanted to. Uh so if that was your intent, I'm sorry. Uh and if you're if my kids ever watch this someday when they're 18, um, and they're like, Dad, dad, what why didn't you just have a cock you eating all of our food? Um, so no. Uh didn't so whatever. I ate them. I ate them uh with my coffee. My gosh, yeah. I had a lot of coffee this morning. Maybe you could tell. This isn't coffee, though. This is tea. I'm on I'm onto the tea now. Speaking of tea, let's spill some. All right, um, Oscars, what else? Okay, you know I already posted um in a story or a reel or something about earlier this week about, or maybe it was last week, about Oscars, you got one job tonight. Tonight, Barbara Streisand better be coming out to sing the way we were for the In Memoriam. Her and Robert Redver were in the movie. I mean, if you don't know that stuff, I get it. You're under 40. Maybe you're under 50. Who knows? You know what?

unknown 3:50

Fuck off.

SPEAKER_02 3:50

How about that? Um watch it. It holds up. It's a great movie, okay? It's such a great, I mean, I want to say kind of old Hollywood type of movie, but I mean it's a it's an old new forward-looking kind of Hollywood movie, if that makes sense. I kind of I wonder, I mean, I have some Republican friends, and I don't, all right, don't fucking freak out. Um, because if you're hung in here this long, there must be, I don't know what it is, but God love you. Um I uh I just wonder if there's like what movies and shows, I guess, I mean, maybe sci-fi. I don't what stuff do you is do you can you even watch anymore without you being like, oh yeah, I guess we're the bad guy in this too. You know, we're the bad guy. I mean, it's just so obvious. Um I mean, now more than ever, you know, if you're still hanging in there for guess who, uh, you just have zero legs to stand on. Uh, but let's uh we'll we'll maybe we'll circle back on that. But uh let's get some more fun stuff. Fun stuff, happy stuff. Guess what? Our world isn't burning, it's not on fire, it's not being completely destroyed. Yay! Let's talk about some fun stuff instead. Um the word, one of my favorite words, and people that some people that are really close to me maybe know this. Maybe more in my history. Uh because I haven't talked about a lot lately, is are you ready for this? Um, I want to go, I want to do man on the street and interview people, random people. I want to, especially, I I kind of want to get women's take on this. Um, but I just want to interview people and I want to be, I want to go up to them and be like, and let's talk about your let's talk about your uvula. Um do you feel are do you feel like you have a large uvula or like a regular, how do you feel about your uvula? And I just want to get people's take on that. Um I just there's something I love the word uvula. I've always talked about my uvula. Um what else? Uh anyway, people are like, uvula. I mean, oh it's if because if you don't know what it is, you just automatically assume it's naughty because it sounds naughty, doesn't it? It's just one of those words that like uvula. Oh, my uvula. My god, what is he what's that again? What is that down on what is sounds like a naughty thing. And uh I'm 12, apparently, so that's funny to me. So anyway, uh look into your uvula health. Take care of your uvula. Um, okay, but seriously, I'm I uh my uvula. Why is it funny for me to talk about my uvula? I feel like I'm revealing something kind of just like so personal. And so um I was doing a self-examination the other night and I discovered that my uvula was enlarged. Um, my uvula, all right, it's the little punching bag that hangs in the back of your throat, if you don't know, all right, or if you haven't already Googled it and you didn't know. Uh, but by by now, don't you know? I don't know. I would hope so. So if not, there it is. There it is. Um, my uvula is kind of big. I got a big uvula, ladies. I'm just saying, my uvula's kind of big. Um it is though, but and that's actually actually it's like I it's a lot of my it causes some snoring issues. And uh weird uh breathing stuff. Probably, you know, I mean uh probably borderline apnea, you know, who knows? I don't think it does, but it does make a weird sometimes. I'll catch myself making a weird noise. And then if I if I could hear it, then I assume that when I'm sleeping, some some shh sh some vibrations are going on in there. It's not it's not that, it's not like a snormal, it's not like I don't whatever. Shut up, shut up, so my uvula's big. How about that? Huh? All right, there's a little tea. There's your I'm sp there, I spilled some tea. Did you hear Tom Cena's uvula is big? Like he he admit he he he thirstly, he admitted it on his podcast. He said, No, I swear to God, he said he has a big uvula.

SPEAKER_00 8:01

He said he has a big uvula.

SPEAKER_02 8:03

Um, I do. I got a big old uvula. It hangs, baby. Hangs long and it fli All right, I'm done. I'm sorry. Let's get back on track. Um uh snowbaguetting, we got that going on. Um, I even took a look at me. I took some notes. I'm trying to not uh all right, and then um damn it. I I had some other thoughts I didn't write down. The really funny stuff I didn't write down because I always forget that stuff. So I uh my one of my toxic traits is that I am way more critical and like disappointed and pissed at women that I mean, and leave it to a man. Well, I'll get to that in a second. My toxic trait is that women piss me off so much more when they like when I find out they're like, you know, a Trump supporter, or they're still are they're they're just putting out some stupid crazy shit way more than guys because you know why? Because I have so much less expectations in men than women. Uh I just expect more out of you women because I I because men are we've already established in my previous podcast, breaking the bro code, that men are shit. Men suck, we suck, we all are shitty. Uh and some of us are trying to do better. Uh a lot of us aren't are are committed to being like, fuck that. Anyway, so um to that again I say, shut up. Okay, what else did I do this week? You know what I did this week? Very cool thing. Uh I went to the uh Omaha Irish Cultural Center. Hi. The uh they had the uh they had a wards brunch. I was invited by uh the venerable uh James Kavanaugh, Douglas County Commissioner James Kavanaugh, who's such a good buddy. Uh I did a previous podcast with him. He uh promoted this in that podcast. And uh I went. I actually went. I was just like, you know what? I'm gonna go to that because you know why? Uh well, because he invited me and he's a very nice guy and he's a buddy. Um and he had Kathleen Kennedy. They uh they had Kathleen, they hosted Kathleen Kennedy, daughter of Bobby Kennedy, the real Bobby Kennedy, not this bozo in office. That's just uh I mean, a skit from Saturday Night Live you would not believe if you saw it, is what he is in real life. Getting into the hot tub with jeans on? I mean, I can't I mean I can't even I cannot even pretend to like let's talk about no, let's not, because it's just so far off the that guy. Anyway, even his entire family has rebuked him. So, all right, so there you have it. This is his sister. This is his oldest sister, who is a real candidate, um and cut from the same cloth as JFK and Bobby Kennedy senior. Uh and she was the lieutenant governor of Massachusetts, maybe uh Maryland, Massachusetts, probably. I don't know. Um, I'm an idiot. So she was amazing. She did great. She got up and she did talk. Spot on. Very cool. I mean, she was brief, funny, sharp, bam. In and out, done deal. I got to hang out, I got to meet her. Um, she was kind of by uh behind the dais you know by herself. Everyone else was kind of out front and shit-chatting and schmoozing and you know, pressing the flesh. Uh, she was kind of back there doing a little kind of, I think, um, mining her own space. Of course, this guy invades her space. Um, I just came around. I was just like, oh my God, uh, you know, big fan, you know, so nice to meet you. And then she was really funny. She was she was making fun of uh in a in a loving way. She was making fun of the award that they had given her. Uh she's like, well, look at us, look at this thing. It was like a cup and had an inscription under it. And but the cup was like sideways, and I think it was probably done on purpose, but she's like, the thing's like it's like mounted sideways or whatever. Anyway, if I post this on YouTube, I'll throw in a couple pictures of of me and her. Very cool woman. I mean, talk about historic. She I'll also post this uh this I'll post I found the letter. She she kind of closed with this letter that uh her father had written her the day he buried his brother, John F. Kennedy. Um, in fact, I think I have it says, dear, yes. Ugh, it's poignant. Uh says, Dear Kathleen, you seemed to understand that Jack died and was buried today. I think she was in her teens when it happened. She's the oldest. As the oldest of the Kennedy grandchildren, you have a particular responsibility now, a special responsibility to John and Joe. Joe was Jack and Bobby's older brother that had died previously. And then he closes with, Be kind to others and work for your country. Love daddy. Um, she's got that uh framed somewhere in her house. And anyway, uh cool stuff. I mean, and then later he was assassined as well. It's just um anyway. Pretty amazing dude. Uh would have been president, he would have been president 100% uh after he became senator for California and whatnot. Yeah. Anyway. Cool dude, cool legacy, uh, cool family. Uh so there you go. That was cool. I got to, yeah, I got to do a little chit chat with her. She was she couldn't have been more warm and accessible and very, very cool. Uh neat woman. Um she's very sharp and and very and just kind of like she it's like this is a woman that does not screw around. She's uh she's a she's a cool woman. Um anyway, that was a cool story, a very fun thing that I got to do. Thank you, Jim Kavanaugh. Thanks for inviting me. Uh brought my pal Denise from the salon because I knew she would be because she's a huge Kennedy fan and she I knew she'd be fangirling all over. And so it was great. She got up there and I got to get a picture of her with Kathleen as well. So that was cool. I'm glad I'm glad she got to do that. Uh so yeah, um, all right, let's talk Oscars. All right, let's talk Oscars. I I haven't, I'm horrible. I have not this year in particular. How about you guys? Have you done all right with seeing Oscar stuff? I haven't. I haven't seen shit. And that's so bad because I love the Oscars and I love movies. It just seems like later in like more recently in my life, I have not been watching a lot of movies. I've not been watching actually a lot of TV, which is a good thing. Um, right? I mean, it is, right? Tell me that it is. Uh it is. I know it is. You don't have to tell me. I know it is. So that's kind of a that's kind of a weird deal, right? I think so. Uh but I that I don't. I'm sorry, I'm trying to look at something and I'm pretending to talk, but um all right. So let's get back to what I was talking about before. All right, Oscars. Oscars. Um yeah, I haven't been watching a lot of movies, so I'm bad. I don't know. I I finally uh yesterday I did I wanted to be like, I have to watch something. I have to watch an Oscar nominated movie. So I finally watched Leo DiCaprio's um One Battle After the Other. Oh my god, it's so good. And it's real. I mean, there too. There's a perfect example of a movie. Like, I don't know how people on the right watch movies anymore. I don't know. It's like calling them out on their bullshit. Uh and uh without, yeah, just like pointing out that you know, you you guys are the bad guys. Um and no, I'm not saying Republicans, there, I'm just saying these mega people, you know, people that are still behind him after. Oh my God. Um so so let's talk about movies. Um, even though I haven't seen them. Uh so leading actor. Leading actor, we got Timothy Chalamet from Marty Supreme. I've talked to some people that have seen it. Uh, I think it's a kind of I think it's a little bit out there, like weird, whatever, but I can I kinda like weird, it's cool, but some people hated it. So I kind of take that with a grain of salt. Some people that think stuff is they hate it because it's weird. Sometimes I like that stuff. Anyway, haven't seen it. Um Leo DiCaprio, one battle after the other. I thought he was great in it. Um, thought he was fantastic. I don't know about if it's, you know, I don't know if it's award-winning or not. I mean, he's great in everything, but it's and it's a it's a pretty challenging role. But he anyway, um, you have to see it. It's great. Uh Ethan Hawk, Blue Moon, uh, haven't seen it. Michael B. Jordan for Sinners. I have a feeling he's gonna win. Uh there's so much buzz around him. He plays uh two characters in the movie, twins. And so um, you know, that's usually a that's a that's usually some heavy lifting for acting, and it's got so much buzz behind it. I think he's gonna win it. And then Werner, uh Wagner uh Mora, the secret agent, I think is Brazilian. Um I've heard a lot of good things about that. I've got to watch it. I haven't seen it. So I'm gonna go through all these and I'm gonna say that about everything. Um, so I think uh Michael B. Jordan's gonna win it. Boop, make your check. Uh enter the pool, make your guess, and enter now. Actor in sporting role. All right, best supporting actor, Benicio del Toro. That's my brother. I love I love Benicio del Toro. In anything he does. Every single I've loved him in every role that he's ever played. I mean, traffic, oh um, Sicaro. Sicario. I mean, I've Sicaro, I've seen, yeah, one and two. Oh, he's so fucking good. I know. Anyway, that's my boy. He's in this, um, as much as I love him. I don't know that it's a best supporting role because um it's just not that big of a role. It's not that juicy. He plays it cool. He's a he's an awesome character. Um, but it's not it's not a huge role. Jacob Elordi uh for Frankenstein. I'm sure I'm ruining that name. Haven't seen it, looks good. Uh Delroy Lindo for Sinners, again, it's got a lot of buzz. Sean Penn. Okay, Sean Penn is also in one battle after the other, after another. That his role could, I think of the two, his role itself is more of a uh Oscar winning role. Uh he's amazing in it. He is just horrible. And there, too, I mean, I'm just gonna keep circling back so you'll eventually get sick of it if you are uh Trump supporters. So um, but I think of that, I just think imagine watching this movie and like are you guys rooting for him? Is is that is are you rooting for his character in this movie? Uh because I don't know how you decide, I don't know how you kind of divide your beliefs in true life and like a movie, what the movie is about. And you know, it's like it's like what kind of I mean, I mean, obviously you've you throw some gym mental gymnastics in order to try and even defend him at this point, which is amazing to me. So maybe you do that with movies too. You just pretend like one thing doesn't mean another thing. So I don't know. Who knows? Uh he's yeah, he's a horrible person, horrible character. I mean, but he plays it so, so well. Um, that's got that's got potential. Stellan Skarsgard, um, in Sentimental Value. I really want to see this movie. It looks great. He is amazing in everything he does. I'm sure you know him. If you if you don't know him from what I'm saying, you'll recognize him if you look him up. He's in he's been a lot of stuff. He's uh crazy good. I loved him as Luthien in Andor, the series, the Star Wars part of the Star Wars canon. Um, arguably one of the best things from the Star Wars canon and Star Wars. Um so good, in fact, that it really kind of it's uh it is in a categorial to itself. And he is an amazing character. Um, but that's not what this is about. No, this is about sense of matter of fact. I've heard it's really good, and I've heard he's great in it. So that one I think has some good buzz behind it too. I would guess, well, see, Delro, Delroy Lindo from Sinners, I I I I haven't heard anything. I just know that that movie's got so much buzz. All right, let's move on to best uh uh yeah, leading actress, best actress in a leading role. Jesse Buckley from Hamnet. I think she's the hands-down winner, just based purely on what I've heard. Um tons of buzz. She is amazing, she's an amazing actress. This one I know I know just enough about what her character goes through in this movie to where it's like, I don't know. I I sometimes these movies, these type of movies that have this happen in them, I'm sure I'm trying not to spoil. I don't I have a hard time knowingly going in to watch that, to be like, okay, I'm gonna watch this. I mean, because it's just horrifying to me. And uh, well, you can understand. It's horrifying to anybody, especially yeah. I won't say, but anyway, can't uh I I I have to watch this though because I've heard such great things, and she is an amazing actress. Other, I've heard other I know she's gonna win because I've heard so many other actresses and actors talking about her in this role. Um, and they're the ones that vote the academy. So uh she'll win. Rose Byrne, if I had legs, I'd kick you. Uh Kate Hudson, socksuck blue. I mean, these are, I feel like maybe lighter. I don't know, but Renata Rez Resve. I don't know, sentimental value. Again, that one's got that one's got some buzz behind it. Uh, and Emma Stone and Bogonia. I've heard great things about this too, that she, and this is a very meaty role for her. She could pull, she could pull a win-off here, although she's won already, right? Hasn't she won? I know it gets a little political as far as like picking winners and losers. I think this is Jesse Buckley's year. I just think it is. All right. You know, and I'm kind of an insider, so I can say, you know, because I'm, you know, I'm in, I'm in media. Um, actress in a supporting role. Uh L Fanning in Sentimental Value. I just can't love a young lady more than this. She's just darling. She's I mean, it's like we you know, we've seen her grow up. She's I mean God, I don't know how old she is. She's probably in her twenties. But um but she's just she's just uh super cool. I'm gonna call her a kid. She's not a kid, she's a woman, grown adult. But uh she's lovely. Her and her sister, Dakota. I mean, they grew up with us. We just, I mean, they're adorable. And I see them on talk shows. I see them on chat shows. And she's just darling. She just seems like such a well, it's like how sometimes and some stars are amazing how like grounded they have seemed and they just seem like so uh they got their shit together. She's one of those. Uh and uh I don't know. I don't know anything about her, about her in that part, but Sentimental Value's got some buzz behind it. So maybe Inga Lilias, uh Sentimental Value. Again, don't know. Movie's got some buzz. Uh Amy Madigan and Weapons. Amy Madigan is amazing and everything, but I haven't, I don't, I don't know a thing about that movie. Haven't heard anything. Um Win Me, Wound Me, uh, Mosaku in from Sinners. Again, huge buzz. Wouldn't doubt it. Tiana Taylor in one battle after the other. One battle after another. Gotta get that right. Tiana Taylor, can I, I mean, I don't. Um, she's one of these people, she is, she's like dangerously hot. Like, uh looking, behaving. I mean, you know, and don't get on there and be like, well, I heard she, but I say, yeah, I don't care about it. I'm just saying she, I mean, she's got some stuff going on, all kinds of stuff going on. That's like wow. I and and perfectly cast in this movie because that part that she because the part that she plays in this is just so perfect for her for all of that. She brings all of that heat, all of that, uh, all that badass shit. And it's like it's almost like you can, yeah, you get it. You get it, you understand it. She is she is amazing. She is amazing in that role. Um that's I mean, that's Oscar worthy. I don't know. I mean, as far as a supporting role, maybe. It's not super huge role, but it's really impactful. Anyway, uh, she's great in it. But you know what? And that she's not nominated here or anything like that, but the girl that plays the daughter in that movie in uh One Battle After Another, she's a new rising star. She's been in some stuff already. Um man. Uh she is uh she is like uh transcendently just I mean, she's just uncommonly uh beautiful. Um I mean she this girl is gonna and she just is so good in this too. I mean, I think she to be honest, I think she should have been nominated. Um, but again, maybe yeah, she should have been nominated. She was amazing, and she's just uh this girl is gonna be a huge star. Her name, what a cool name. Her real name is um Oh damn it. Chase Infinity. Yeah. It's Chase Infinity. And her parents who were not in who were not celebrities or in movies or you know they took regular jobs, apparently, and I read this, but her uh they named her after Chase. I hope this is right. Uh I think it's Chase, named her after the Nicole Kidman character from Batman. And Infinity was from the uh Toy Story, Infinity and Beyond. Uh what a cool name. Anyway, it works. Uh it's almost like she was predestined to be special and cool. And she's, I mean, she absolutely is. She's phenomenal in this. And she will be huge. We'll all be seeing that name soon. Um, animated feature film. Oh, of course, I don't know anything. Arco Elio. Heard that's really great. K-pop demon hunters. I mean, of course, I've seen that a thousand times because the girls and uh yeah. Anyway, um little uh Amelie or the character of Rain. Don't know, Zootopia 2. I think we saw that. It's always cute, funny. Um, I don't know. I I I don't know. I don't have a I don't have a pick on those, to be honest. Even with the K-pop Demon Hunters, I would pick it for best. Maybe I'd pick it for best song. But just because just from just for sentimental sake, just because my daughters just love that song. They love the music from that. And they wear we every time I jump, they go, Daddy played the K-pop Demon Hunters, and then they sing at the back. And it's just adorable. It's just as cute as you'd think it is. Even for me, uh on the 1000th listen, it's still just as cute. Um anime short casting, I don't know anything. Cinematography, uh yeah, I don't know. Uh, I don't know. I was looking for anybody from we had two famous Academy Award-winning cinematographers that have lived here in Omaha. Uh, one was Mike Hill, who did cinematographer for Apollo 13th, did a ton of uh uh Ron Howard movies. Uh he used to live in my old neighborhood over in Armor Stakers. I think he passed away. I don't want to jeans that, but I I anyway, maybe not. I think I could be wrong. Uh he used to, I think he taught, at UNL, maybe a a uh cinematography class or something. I don't know. But um anyway, lived here and just and did the uh he lived here while he was doing the movie too. Anyway, uh Morrow. Um what's his last name?

unknown 27:15

I'm an idiot.

SPEAKER_02 27:16

Anyway, Morrow, I can't remember his last name, won I'll I should look it up, but he won't best cinematographer for Avatar. Um and he is from Italy, but he uh Mary Degal, he moved to the United States eventually. I don't know how, but they ended up here. Maybe she was originally from here, I'm not sure. But uh his wife used to come in the tease to the salon, and actually, and then they came, and then he came once to a some party or something. We had that and uh anyway, got to meet him. Very cool. It's like wow. I met him just right before I knew he had already done Avatar. It was always like it was already like a big deal. And then shortly thereafter he won the Academy Award, he won an Oscar, and I sit there watching him on. It's amazing, right? Good old Omaha. Um, whatever. You know, we got Andrew, uh, we got Alexander Payne, you know. That's our guy. That's our guy. Um, I don't know much else. Uh directing Hamnet, Marty Supreme, one battle after another, sentimental value in Sinners. Uh Ryan Kugler. I'm pretty sure he's gonna win it. Ryan Kugler for Sinners. Uh tons of buzz behind that. I've heard I did hear him listen to a podcast with him. Cool dude. I mean, that guy is is just straight. He is just who he is. African-American dude. Um, he has does not seem like he's been affected in any way by by status quo, by the by the industry, by, you know, he just, you know, I feel like he's just the guy that his buddies knew, you know, back in the day. And yet he's bright as hell. He knows, I mean, he's a student of film, of course, just like most of these directors. But I mean, he's a you know, Spike Lee, you know, John Singletary, big influences in his life, and uh he's he's a force. I I was super impressed with him on this deal. He knows the shit. Anyway, um, I think he's gonna win. Uh okay, song. Let's get into music. Uh oh, hair and makeup. You know, I don't again, because I haven't seen anything, you know, you'd think that that'd be I'd be all over that. Um, but I can't. I can't talk to it because I didn't see anything. Uh if I had to guess, I would guess Frankenstein. Um there's another Mike Hill, which is interesting. Jordan Samuel and uh Kleona uh Fury. I think uh they went for Frankenstein from what I've seen just in trailers and stylistically, I I think that that allows for some some really cool badass hair to be done. Sinners, but sinners might be in there. I just don't I didn't see enough to I didn't see enough even in the trailers to know up to see style. So I don't I don't know. I just don't know. I won't I won't make it and then the others could be amazing, and I just don't know. But I would guess just you know, based on what little info I have, Frankenstein wins that for best hair and makeup. Music. Okay, let's get to that. Um score is gonna be Sinners, one battle, Hamnet, Frankenstein, Begonia. I I um I can't actually, you know, I don't know enough about those to know to know yeah. I've heard Begonia, I think, has a really good score, but I don't know. Probably Hammond is probably in there. A best song, original okay, music, original song. Uh, I know a little bit about this because I listened to them all. Um so we got Dear Me, which is uh from the Diane Warren documentary called Relentless, and it is about her. It's a documentary on her. Of course, she wrote the song because she writes every song that you've ever heard in your life. She is amazing. I mean, like this woman has been so prolific. Well, watch the documentary and you'll see. I mean, she's written for so many people. She is the only person to have she has had she had seven songs on I want to say in Billboard top 40 with seven different singers. I mean, she's had nine number one songs. She's had uh just a ton of billboard songs, tons, tons of top billboard songs, and Oscar songs and movie songs, tons of movie soundtrack songs uh of these best original songs. I mean, she's uh as she's like the John Williams of uh original song for movies. It's like original song for movies, Diane Warren soundtrack, John Williams. Um, huge. Anyway, that she has a song, so she has a song in that so that she's nominated for best song in that for that documentary. Uh Kesha sings it. It's a good song. It's a real, it sounds very much Diane Warren, you know. She's she she has a style that you could kind of identify. It's a really good song. Golden from K-pop Demon Hunters is my sentimental favorite because of my girls, and because I've heard it a thousand times yesterday, and then a thousand times every day previously. Um it's a good song. It's a real it's a good song, it's well produced. The girl that won it for the Golden Globes, the woman, she's uh I want to say that she's Japanese, and I'm oh no, she's probably Korean. Um, but maybe not. I'm so sorry. I can't I can't remember. Probably Korean. But um anyway, she's lovely, and she had a really great acceptance speech about being told no and being shut down and uh you know facing so much adversity on the way up, and finally getting, you know, as a pop stinger, pop singer and trying to break into the business and you know, the obstacles that she faced, and then finally she gets this break in this in this you know animated movie that they had no idea would just go nuts, and now she's just gigantic. I mean, great story there. Um the singing's amazing in this on that song. So anyway, uh she's kind of my uh cinematical favorite, although let's let's hang in there. Um I lied to you from Sinners. It's a real cool, it's like starts off as a real like um like Americana blue blues, I don't want to say bluegrass, but like blues um like Louisiana, what do they call it? Anyway, like original American, you know, African American blues song. And then it kind of evolves into almost like a hip-hop kind of a vibe to it. Um, and then just real involved, just crescendoing into a whole different thing from when it starts. So uh cool song, very cool song. That's got some that's got some legs. Um Sweet Dreams of Joy. It's uh from the movie Viva Verde. I I believe that's a documentary. Um very operatic, uh vocal. I mean, it's a it's a documentary about Verde. Um it's uh I'm I I'm interested to see if they have if they're gonna have someone, you know, if they a lot of times at the Oscars, they have somebody sing the they have somebody perform each of these songs. If somebody performs that, if they have like this, I mean I assume they'd have to have that woman. Well, then they could use that opera, I guess any opera singer, but super challenging. Uh it's very operatic, not it's not for everybody, and it's but I would be I would be interested to hear to see somebody pull that song off. Be like, oh my god, because it's like crazy. Stratosphere, and she does all those crazy. I mean, uh yeah, crazy stuff. And then you got train dreams. Okay, so I mean, as far as I guess I said cinema favorite was K-pop. Well, I mean, that's kind of my sentimental because of my girls. The song Sentimental is Train Dreams, which I have not seen, and I'm 100% gonna watch that. Love the actor, love everything in about about. It looks very interesting. Um, but this song is by uh sung by Nick Cave, and it's I think written by Nick Cave and uh the guy who wrote the whole soundtrack, which is Bryce Desner. Um the whole thing is really is beautiful. The soundtrack is beautiful. This song is beautiful. Uh, it's really good. I would I would put it up there. I don't know. I don't know how much if it has got enough buzz or whatever. I hope Nick Cave brings some buzz to it. I would love to see him win an Oscar, that'd be cool. I I um so I've got I've got some sentimental uh hopes for that one as well. But there's a line from the song that just and I haven't heard it a lot. I haven't listened to it much. You just listened to a few times, it just stuck out, it just like grabbed me by the throat. And it says, uh I once knew a boy who became a dog who became a man that forgot to die. And it was about there was something that just grabbed me from that line, and I just because I just you know sometimes um a line you will you will just you can visualize exactly what it is, even if it's kind of a little sublime, a little a little um esoteric, you know, you know, that that seems like it but it just like I painted a crystal clear picture for me. I just was like, I mean, especially the part of especially the part about becoming a man who forgot to die. It's just like I just instantly went to you know, um because I've got this whole new way of looking at life that's um that's not exactly it's not rose, it's not it's not the rosiest thing. I mean, and I don't want to be a downer, but I mean I guess I've come to an understanding because I am now looking, I can now see both sides of life, you know, because I'm that old. I'm old, you know. And whereas before, when you're younger, you're growing, you just can't quite see over the hill. You know, you can definitely see where you come from, you know, just it's just over there. It's just like, oh, I was just right there. But you can't quite see over the hill. You can't see all the way over the hill. Um, eventually you get on top of that hill. Eventually you start to get a little over that hill, and then you can definitely see it. And you've already lived the life before. So it doesn't matter how far away that gets, you remember you always remember your childhood and your youth and all that and where you came from. But you could also start to see, oh, well, there's the end. That's uh, you know, even though even if you don't know how it's gonna go, you know that it's just there. There's an inevitability about it. Um that's just like, well, we we only live so long. I mean, so we know it's it's gonna be there somewhere. Again, not to be a downer, but I've always wondered with that. I've um, or okay, before I kind of could see it, see that end, as growing up before when I was still couldn't quite see over the hill, I just was always so dumbfounded by what by older people that would be like, you know, oh, you know, if I get oh, just oh, you know, I hope I don't live that longer, or stick a, you know, I mean, just you know, sick, you know, jokingly, you know, push me off a bridge. You know, I mean, whatever it is, you know, I don't want to, or I'd be fine. I'm gonna or I'm I'm I'm ready to go. I'm ready. I mean, like, I just as I was like, what? You're ready to go. It's like, you know, I was it's the uh I can't who who wrote that uh Rage, Rage, Rage, uh, that poem that uh it's at the end of uh well it's in the interstellar, the movie, of course. Um Michael, Michael Kane, he reads it, and uh My name is Michael Kane. My my name, my name is Michael Kane. Uh I do a bad that's a bad impression of him, but um reminds me of that bit, those two English comics doing that. But anyway, um uh I was always kind of in that mind. Rage, rage, rage, you know, do not go gently into this, you know, into this night. I uh I was always kind of of that mind, you know, just like hell no, I'm gonna go kick in a scream and I'm gonna, you know. But the older I have gotten, I've I've come to an understanding, at least, about how that can be, how you could get to that point where you're like, and the thing is, and here's the thing that you don't think about when you're younger. Uh the part the part of it that we miss is just like, well, think about it. They have lost their family, they've lost their loved ones, you know, maybe the love of their life. They've already, of course, they've lost all their, you know, their folks and their, but I mean, they've even lost their brothers and sisters, probably, and their friends. Uh, these are people that have, you know, as this quote, as this, you know, song lyric says, you know, I know a man who forgot to die. It's like it's easy to see how someone might feel like they have outlived their usefulness. And it that I know that sounds horrible, but I know that there are people that feel this way. And and I can understand it. I'm not saying I'm gonna feel that. I hope I don't. Um, and I don't I don't wish that for anyone. My God, I don't. But that's but there is a sad reality about that. Um without, again, I don't want to bring the room down here, but I could get I could get sad about thinking about it because I know that there's, you know, thinking about, uh, my dad. And I mean, and that was my mom's biggest fear, and she boy, she didn't. It didn't, it uh it kind of almost, as hard as it was for us, it kind of worked out the way that I think she probably wanted it to. You know, she walked into that hospital on her own two feet, and that was it. She didn't come out. Um whereas dad, you know, he went a tough way, but uh, it was horrible. And it's almost like, well, you know what one of the saving graces was was that he was he was losing it in his head. So, you know, sadly, it's like, well, maybe he didn't know how bad it was. Uh because it's a it's a horrible thing to lose your folks when they get that old and they're don't and they don't they can't, you know, they have zero quality of life, and it's just like, oh that is where you, you know, I, you know, even you know, even before, I mean that's an you know, those are that's the extreme case. I mean, but even before you get to that, you know, when you've lost everyone else, it's just kind of like, well, what am I doing? What why am you know you you you could I could see how they would have survivor's guilt. Literally, like, like, um, like that's some real survivor's guilt, you know, when you're like, why am I still here? You know, everyone else that I care about and loved in life is gone. And now I'm just here, I'm like at this party, I'm stuck on this. I can equate it to being stuck on a party bus because I loathe uh party buses. And I don't loathe it for you. I loathe it for me. Um, you go on a party bus, knock yourself out, have fun, do that thing. But there's been a there's only been a few times that I kind of got stuck on that party bus. Um, and I look, I don't drink, you know, and I it's like uh and I'm older, and it was with it was with some employees, and it's just like there's just nothing. I mean, and and you are stuck. You are stuck on that stupid bus. I mean, that is what I equate it to. Like, like if you're if you outlive all your peers, you're just gonna be stuck with younger people. Even worse, it's just like, am I a, am I a, you know, you know, are you are you are these people like, am I a liability for these people? I mean, are they having to take care of me? It's like, it is the last thing that you would, you don't want that. And I know I've heard I've heard some people be like, hell yeah, I earned it. These people better damn take care of me. And it's just like, is do you really is that is that really how you want to go out? And I I mean, I don't think so. I mean, I don't want to, I mean, it's like, of course I want to live forever. Uh, I want um, you know, modern medicine to enable all my peers to live forever. You know, that's the deal. It's just like, well, I don't want to do it alone. You know, I want everyone around me to be able to live forever. All my brothers and sisters live forever. You know. Barring that, well, how long do you want to live? I don't know. I'm I've gotten off on a very morbid subject here, but this is real shit. This is kind of styles. Sadly, it's about the stuff that you kind of think about. And we don't we don't talk a lot about that as a here in America. Um, all right, best picture. So this is the biggie. Um, you got begonia, F1, Frankenstein, Hamnet, Marty Supreme, one battle after another. The secret agent, sentimental value centers, train dreams. Okay. Begonia, good buzz, F1. Absolutely not. I'm sorry. I love F1 in real life. I love Formula One. Um, I got into it, of course, like every other American did because of the Netflix series. Um, drive driving. For life drive came from there. Anyway, it's the Netflix, it's the F1 Netflix series. It's in its seventh season, I want to say. So I've been watching for seven years. It's great. It's a super comprehensive look at the last year's season, at last season from beginning to end. And so you really get a great inside look, you know, with all the races, the standings, how that goes, who wins the best, you know, constructors cup, who wins the best driver. You know, it's a it's a great, it's a great series, and it has brought F1 to America. It is 100% responsible for F1 blowing up here finally, after years and years and years being huge everywhere else. But here, now it's here and it's it's huge and getting bigger. Thanks to Netflix. And so uh because of that, because I feel like I've I've got a little peek at the reality of it, the show, the movie, I was just surprised that it wasn't better because I would have thought everyone in from that made this movie would have been really dialed in with the real F1 and and the and would also know that people that I would have thought that you know they'd be kind of making it for people that were dialed into the F1 Netflix series would have wanted to make this a little bit more realistic, but it's just not. It's like, well, don't worry about those people. This is just we're gonna make this for the general public that doesn't know anything about F1, and we'll just make a you know, a cool, you know, Brad Pitts, you know, whatever. Cool guy that doesn't have to train but could come back and drive an F1 car because he's just a good driver. It's just like, I mean, when you know it's I I I mean they used a lot of F1 real, there's a lot of F1 support with this movie. They filmed a lot of it at F1 races. They filmed, they they utilized a lot of F1 drivers and principals and um people from real to F1 that are in it. So they did their best to give support to it, and then I felt like it's almost like a slight though to them because it's this because of this main character, Brad Pitt. And you know, don't get me wrong, Brad Pitt's great. I I dig him, he's a good actor, and he's yeah, but the role was just kind of it was just I mean, you got who was it, Jerry Bruckner? That was uh I mean Jerry Jerry uh Bruckheimer. Um just did he did his kind of classic Jerry Bruckheimer shit. Um I don't know. I was just I was just very disappointed in the realism of it. Uh the the the filmed driving sequences were very cool. Technically, cool shit. Good stuff, cool, neat, gave you some perspective. That was all cool. It was cool to see the real drivers involved and the real races involved and them filming in and around that stuff as a fan of real F1. That was all cool, but you know, to to this the main character, Brad Pitt's character, I mean, it was just like you can't, you know, it's just not realistic. All right. I mean, these F1 drivers are crazy. I mean, they they are so unique among everyone else in the world, and so A, gifted and B uh practiced and schooled, and I mean, and have worked out are it perfectly toned and you know everything about them is tailored to these races that they race. And what they do in the car is people just can't people don't get how impossible it is for someone to do that. Um you you could think, you know, I'm a pretty good driver. It's like no. No. Uh not even close. I mean, they're doing like how many G's? Four G's? I mean, so I mean they're um it's just insane. All right, I've talked enough. I've bored you about my F1. Um what little I know about F1. All right. Uh it won't win. It's there's nothing even close to what to for that to win. Frankenstein, uh, I don't think it's got enough behind it to win the best picture. Uh, even though I I think it's cool from what I've heard, but uh yeah. I don't know. Um, and I don't know about hair and makeup either on that. I don't I don't know. I I it it might be it's probably not that. Hamnet, I think is uh strong contender for best picture. Marty Supreme, I don't think it's got the no, no. One battle after the other, it's great. I don't know that it has Oscar, I don't know if it's got enough Oscar buzz behind it. The Secret Agent, I've heard it's great and I want to see it, but it's a it'll win Best Foreign movie, I think. Uh I think it's a Brazilian. I think uh I think it'll best win best foreign movie. I don't think it'll win best picture. And I don't know, I I guess can you be nominated both? Probably. Um anyway. Uh Sentimental Value has got some good buzz. I don't know about Best Pitcher Sinners. There you go. Sinners will win. Sinners. Sinners will win. Yeah, I think so. Best, I mean, that's got the most buzz. Train dreams, great. Not a no, it won't win Best Picture. Uh Sinners, possibly Hamnet. That's my guess. Um, and that is about the only other categories that I think we need to get into. We don't need to get into. I mean, especially because I don't know shit about any of these because I'm just talking off the top of my head. So there you go. There's your Oscars for tonight. Um, but let's uh we'll talk about uh we'll I'll do a recap. That's it. I'll do a recap next week on the Oscars. I'll tell you how I did on my picks. Uh we'll talk about what happened during the Oscars. I hope everyone gets up and has a super woke speech. I honestly do. I don't care. Uh yeah, so don't watch it if you're if you're muscular. Yeah, it's not for you then. You don't get you don't get you don't get to watch entertainment anymore. You don't get to watch movies, you don't get to listen to songs, you don't get to read books. Uh just garbage. Go listen to Kid Rock and Ted Nugent and fuck off. How about that? Yeah, that's how I feel. Um that's what you get. That's what that's that's what you get. That is what your uh that you've that is your the bed that you have made. Go shit in it. Um I hope we get a ton of woke speeches. Uh people just come right out and just be like, yeah, screw this shit. This is garbage that we are living through. We are living through garbage. Think about if you have ever interviewed anyone, if you are in a position at your job, that you, or if you've ever owned a business or managed a business, or have ever been in the position, or maybe if even if you're like HR, if you've ever had the opportunity to, or if you're ever tasked with hiring somebody, think about Cash Patel, head of the FBI, getting that job. Think about Pete Heggseth getting that job. Think about Steven Miller. I mean, these are people, I mean, uh cosplay Barbie, uh, she just got canned. I mean, and then they hire this guy, this plumber that's now gonna be uh in charge of uh homeland security. Um, I mean, I'm I'm not talking about just how ridiculous they are. I'm talking about like if you're hiring people and you looked at their resumes, that's it. Like, let's let's let's pretend that they're not horrible people. Let's pretend that they are not just categorically from head to toe disgustingly horrible people. Let's pretend they're not. Um and you were just looking at their resumes and just looking at references, resumes, job and education experience. And your pool for these positions are trust me, the pool is the brightest and best people in the country. People way smarter and better than you and I. Um, top schools, top experience, uh have a list of credentials and uh uh accomplishments in their lives, and then you hire these people instead with their shitty resumes and garbage bullshit that they have in their past. Uh I mean, if you go on just that alone, I mean what what more do you I mean there's just nothing. You've painted yourself into a corner that you can't get out of. And so you're either, you know, too proud to just admit that you screwed up, or you're just that horrible of a person that you're just gonna double down. Yeah. I mean I don't know. I don't even know. I don't know what you do. I don't know where you go from here. I mean, I I feel like after this, because you know, what comes the day after? What comes that well, what comes, I mean, as far as like, you know, him, who cares? I mean, hopefully he's behind jail and he's he's behind bars, and but and it'll I mean it'd be so good if he lost his fortune. But um, he probably won't. Money just just there's just too much power and money with money. But um, but there will still be a day after him. But what happens to all his supporters? Um, do they just kind of seep back into the ether and step back, you know, among us and pretend like this? I mean, I know that's what they want to do, and that's probably what'll happen just because sadly that's just how it goes. And I'm not saying I want them to be everybody to it's not like I'm looking to be like punished or whatever.

SPEAKER_01 53:24

I mean, like, it's not like I want to happen to them what they're doing to all of my Mexican brothers and sisters and people of color and gay and trans people and women and it's not like I'm saying I want you know that to happen to them, how they're treating everybody else.

SPEAKER_02 53:41

I'm just saying it's just, you know, I I don't want them to just go back lurking, and I don't want that to be part of us. I don't, I just I don't want that to just be part of us waiting, waiting for the next, you know, iteration of garbage, you know, to take over after the pendulum swing, you know, because you know, we've got you know Trump's pendulum, he's taken it so far up. I mean, trust me, it's gonna swing so far back, you know, the people on the right are gonna just be shitting themselves. But um, but then it'll eventually come back. And then when it does, it's just like I just I just hope we can advance at some point. I hope we can evolve past the point where they just all come back out. I mean, I hope that this helps change some people. Uh, that's we can I guess we could just keep hoping. Uh hoping, hoping, hoping. Uh let's we'll circle back and we'll end on that letter that uh Bobby Kennedy wrote his daughter, and what he ended with. He said, You've got a particular responsibility, be kind to others. That was the theme. He said, and work for your country. I mean, that's the you know, ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country. Um that was a theme, definitely among them. Um, but it's the be kind part that she really kind of she highlighted that. And then um the archbishop, the new archbishop, got up and spoke, and he also kind of reiterated that too. Like, if you don't know what to do when you're if you feel like you're at a loss, like we do right now at this in this country, it's just like, well, what do we do? How do we? I mean, Trump is he if he is he just gonna keep bombing countries now at this point and pretending like he's not, and you know what? I mean, what we it's just like it's out of con it's out of our control. It's just like, well, what do you do? It's like he seems to just be able to break the law. Well, I mean, no, you know, the Senate's not gonna do anything because they have no balls. I mean, at least until after the midterms, maybe, but it's uh so I mean, you know, obviously there are some things you do. You put your support towards people, you put your money towards the bright people, and you you get out and you make sure and vote, and and ladies, God love you. I'm sorry, but you better get your you know birth certificate and your name and all that shit straight because the Republicans are trying to keep you from voting. They're working hard on that. Uh, they're trying to make it, you know, you're trying to make it harder for people, you know, people that don't have access to their birth certificate, you know, please go now. Don't wait and see if this passes. Don't wait. And um, you gotta go get prepared to vote, which means get all of your identification and all that stuff ready, keep it in a place, put it in one place so that you are ready to go at a no at a notice glance or at a notice, at a moment's notice, uh, to go vote. Um, take it all with you, take everything with you. And yes, and then and you know what's gonna happen? Because of all of that, and this is part of their plan, is that you're we're you're we're going to overwhelm these poor poll workers. They're gonna be there, they're gonna be besieged by all these new stupid rules put in place, and then all these people they're gonna have to show all these different identifications, all this shit, and everyone's gonna have questions and stuff. And so it's gonna be a big cluster fuck, and that is the goal, so that there won't be, we won't be able to process as many votes. The fewer votes that get processed, you know, that that works out good for people because they know if the majority of the, if they, you know, the more people that vote in the country, they know that they will lose. That is why he's saying we got to get this act through, because if we don't, we're gonna lose. Um, and if we do get it through, we'll never lose again, because you know, he knows that it's gonna be a clusterfuck for people to vote. Um, and especially people with less access to stuff, people that are less organized with their, you know, because they're fighting for their life just to try and survive. So it's poorer people. People that are loaded, rich, they've got all that stuff all tidied, locked away. They've got their, you know, they've got their um, you know, priority passes and you know, birth uh passports and uh everything, you know, it's all been bought and paid for, and they've got it all tucked away and they're safe and they're ready to go, and they're fine. They're gonna go out and vote their own, you know, they're gonna vote against everyone else, and to so that they could, you know, make even more money, you know, because they don't have enough. And so they're all tidy away. Don't worry. They'll vote and they'll get it taken care of, just you know, but it's the people, it's the masses that don't have all that stuff put together because they're too busy trying to survive and pay for you know five dollar gas. So whatever. That's the idea. Um, so do your best to get that shit ready now. I've got my shit ready.

unknown 58:06

I'm ready.

SPEAKER_02 58:07

I'm ready. All right. Hey, so be kind. He said, be kind and work for your country. Be kind. That is the thing. So if you don't know what to do, if you feel like you're lost, you feel like there's nothing we can do, we can change ourselves. We know that we can model better behavior, we can uh fight for what is right. We can always voice our, you know, our be the better angels, you know. Um, I try and always keep, you know, when I I always repost stuff and I'll put stuff in my story all the time on a very regular basis. I just want to keep putting that out there. Keep putting, let people know what's going on. Show them the ridiculousness of what's happening, show them the sinister nature of what's happening, show some good stuff that's happening, show some positivity, show some, have some, you know, share some uh things that you can do. So, you know, keep stay in it. Don't just turn it off. They want to wear you out, they want you to just get so tired of it and so sick of it. Oh, I just don't want to talk politics anymore. It's like, don't fall for that. Stay aware, stay on top of it, stay in the fight, you know. Um, complacency will only lose you. We'll only, you know, let them win, which is we we can't let that happen. All right, guys. I love you. I so appreciate you guys listening, watching, doing your deal. Let's watch some Oscars tonight and let's circle back next week and we'll see how my picks did, and we'll see. We'll talk about like, oh my god, did you oh my god, did you see what happened on the Oscars? Did you see? Oh my god, Tom, you were right. Barbara Stress came out and she sang a beautiful rendition of the way we were, and it brought the house down, and oh my god, and those guys screwed it up. They screwed it up. Um, yeah, they had Justin Bieber come out and sing the what it was that no. Um uh I'm sorry. I'm sorry, Claire. My daughter, she loves Justin Bieber. Um I'm just kidding. So uh yeah, let's circle back and see how that goes. All right, love you guys. Peace out. Love you, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love. Making no sense with Thomas Cena.
