What Were We Saying?
Join Big Uke and Tubesox for a smooth blend of banter, tall tales, & half-baked opinions. It’s part lounge, part clubhouse, and all good company.
What Were We Saying?
103: Epitaph For A Swinger - The show expands. Control does not.
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Big Uke & Tubesox tackle “How Was the Movie?”, breaking down a recently assigned watch with wildly different levels of attention and commitment. The conversation then drifts into the Olympics, examining the spectacle, the absurdity, and the parts everyone pretends not to question. Add in the usual banter, conversational detours, and the return of “3 Things That Can Kick Rocks,” where patience wears thin and the list grows… emotionally.
More segments, more opinions, and absolutely no guarantee anything stays on topic.
Same show. Same confusion.
What were we saying was going to hold on?
SPEAKER_03Well, hello, and welcome to what were we saying? I'm Tube Sox. I'm Big Yuke. And our beers are very low for the start of the show, and that is because we had a little oopsie on set. I believe it was Edgar's issue. He's the man behind the camera. He didn't hit record for a little batch of our show that we'd started, and we got this far into our beverages and realized that uh we were literally just screaming.
SPEAKER_04Just talking into the void. So we're starting from the top here. Uh this is what were we saying with Big Youke and TubeSocks. And uh we're gonna get into some things today.
SPEAKER_03Thanks for joining us for our third episode. We've uh three. We've been building up some momentum now and getting some feedback. People are liking it, people are tuning in.
SPEAKER_04We appreciate all of it. Uh it's been it's been fun to hear uh how you guys think the show's going, because we're having fun doing it.
SPEAKER_03Uh I want to give a shout out to Harold Winthrop and the Silver Astray Orchestra who played us in. You will hear them every week and at the end of the show, which is currently recording. We know that for sure.
SPEAKER_04We have double triple checked, Edgar's double triple checked. Absolutely. We are recording stuff. The cameras are rolling, as they say.
SPEAKER_03And we are coming to you from the fifth floor of the Blunderworks studios in sunny downtown. As always. As we do. Alright. Well, what are we uh what are we saying today, youke?
SPEAKER_04Uh, we're gonna say some stuff about some stuff. I think that's a good place to start. I know we kind of mentioned it already, but just uh huge shout out.
SPEAKER_03Shout out to these people.
SPEAKER_04Wow, that's true. We mentioned it to the void and Edgar. Uh just give a little shout-out to people who have been tuned in for episode one, two, one of one of them, both of them. Uh, you know, we were we were at an event this weekend. Uh, we got some good feedback from from some people. Uh it it's it's fun to see that what we're doing, what we kind of have a slight little passion here for, is actually uh, you know, making people happy. So that that was fun. So we're gonna keep doing it.
SPEAKER_03I'm all about making people happy.
SPEAKER_04It's kind of my whole shtick.
SPEAKER_03I say it's my mantra. If I can make you happy, then I'm happy.
SPEAKER_04You might need a new mantra.
SPEAKER_03I might need a new mantra, I think that's kind of terrible.
SPEAKER_04Where do you want to start this week?
SPEAKER_03Super Bowl. Super Bowl! It's coming up. That'll be a big game. Again, as we're not a sports show, but not a sports show, but we sometimes talk sports. Let off every episode with Super Bowl or football talk, but yeah, that was just kind of timing of release.
SPEAKER_04But what else is really going on that time?
SPEAKER_03There's nothing going on in the world that is more interesting than sports.
SPEAKER_04Not that we want to talk about. Uh so yeah, Super Bowl, Pat Patriots, Patriots, Pats and Seahawks. I think the Seahawks are gonna roll. I know that's probably not what you're hoping for.
SPEAKER_03I'm not because I do have that $7 coming to me if if they do, in fact, come up uh victorious. And it's just gonna be so weird. I've said this a couple times, but it's gonna be very weird seeing the Patriots in a Super Bowl without my man Drew Bledsoe behind center.
SPEAKER_04Yeah, he's the one that we're all missing. He is the one.
SPEAKER_03He's the one it's so weird to see the Patriots without Bledsoe playing for a championship.
SPEAKER_04Do you have any prediction? Other than just your your $7.
SPEAKER_03I think that the Patriots will win 28 to 23.
SPEAKER_04Ooh, almost the same score of the last time. Funny. I was gonna go Seahawks 31 to Patriots. The 31 playing back to the Mike V. Mike. That's the Mike V. Mike thing from week two. 31 score for the winning team. We're gonna run with it. And that's probably gonna be the last we talk about football for a while. I mean, we might mention it next week.
SPEAKER_03Well, there may be a recap.
SPEAKER_04There'd probably be a recap. So after that.
SPEAKER_03Be very brief, though.
SPEAKER_04Super.
SPEAKER_03Olympics coming up. That's exciting.
SPEAKER_04That is big. I, for one, am a huge fan of the Olympics.
SPEAKER_03I'm also a fan of the Olympics. The Olympiad. Being that I'm such an athletic person myself, I can identify with the athletes that uh that partake in the Olympics. Um as they share the same passion for keeping their bodies like I am. Just peak physical condition. Peak, peak physical condition.
SPEAKER_04I don't know. I th I just I don't know what it is. I mean summer and winter. I think probably winter a bit more, just considering, you know, when you think of the Olympics and you think of Canada, I think most people would probably lean towards us being a winter Olympics.
SPEAKER_03I like skating. I like Granted, we are getting better at the Summer Olympics too. I like shooting. I mean it's all it's all things.
SPEAKER_04Shooting, skating, skiing. That's come on. That's pretty much all the events. If there was one one event that you're kind of most looking forward to, other than necessarily like the hockey, because I think that'll be exciting, because that's you know, it's best on best. Um what would be something you would kind of make sure you're gonna pay attention to on the guide?
SPEAKER_03Uh first of all, oddly enough, would be curling.
SPEAKER_04It's a great sport, man. Because it's underrated.
SPEAKER_03It's riveting, it pulls you in. I can relate to it some somewhat. I like the bobsled and stuff.
SPEAKER_04That stuff, that downhill, I guess it's all most of it's downhill because gravity doesn't work the other way, unless it's mountaineering. Unless it's that's going uphill now. Seems ridiculous. But I've done zero research on mountaineering other than the fact they climb up and then ski down. But the bobsleigh, luge, and then skeleton. I think at least bob sleigh, they you know, it's it's team. Well, granted, I think there is doubles luge. Is that not a thing? There is uh someone just laying on someone.
SPEAKER_03I don't know why they stopped at two, though.
SPEAKER_04I longer board, get five on there. Right? Stack her up. Stack them up. The first guy's just basically sitting up straight. It's just, I mean, at least like I said, it was good about to say. Uh the bob sleigh, at least there's, you know, it's the team aspect more than the other two. There is a bit of steering a driver does. There is braking. So it's more of like we're just putting this vehicle down an ice chute. Versus skeletons just here's a sheet of plywood, go down head first.
SPEAKER_03They ran out of, they needed one more event for that track they built.
SPEAKER_04I mean, that that's probably pretty accurate. It's like, well, we haven't used this long enough. We worked so hard on it.
SPEAKER_03If we could put another event into this track.
SPEAKER_04Let's put the loser down headfirst.
SPEAKER_03Will anyone go down headfirst?
SPEAKER_04Speaking of ads, though, before I get into that a little further right away here, I am think you might have a bit of a uh liner for us.
SPEAKER_03Yes, uh Fondue Pit is bringing you this next segment. The only revolving fondue restaurant in the city and the only revolving restaurant of any kind in the world that's located in a basement.
SPEAKER_04That's a bold move, Cotton.
SPEAKER_03Well, the thing is, it eliminates one of the biggest problems of going to a revolving restaurant with others and making a reservation, and everyone wants the window seat. They've eliminated the window seats by putting it in the basement. No windows. No windows, no arguments. You just go in. All the seats have the equal view of the wall.
SPEAKER_04Um just one window square.
SPEAKER_03They do say that it revolves at a speed that's startlingly faster than you may be prepared for. So you won't see the scenery going by because there are no windows. And you're going way too much. You can feel it, like your drinks shaking on the table. Um they are somehow still offering a smoking section, which is neat and weird that they're in a basement that they would have that smoking section. Smoked cheeses, maybe? Um, and they're under new management, which insists uh on fresh oil daily.
SPEAKER_04I think that's that is right. Considering last time I spoke to these guys, they weren't doing that.
SPEAKER_03So they're spinning fast, fresh oil, no windows. Fresh oil spinning fast. Smoke. Smoke them if you got them.
SPEAKER_04An oil into a basement, that stuff's heavy.
SPEAKER_03The fondue pit. Check them out. Anyways, that leads us into anyways, that's them. Big Uke's uh bunch of stuff.
SPEAKER_04Yeah, and kind of playing off of uh our little bit of uh Olympic conversation to start, I'm going into the Olympics a bit. This is uh Big Uke's Buncho stuff for week number three, or episode number three, I should say, uh, of events slash games that I think should be added into the Olympiad, be it summer or winter. I think some of these are What the hell? Uh I think some of these are uh a little interchangeable. But I I uh I quite like the list I uh I created here. So number 10, starting us off. Chess. We've got grand champions, we've got chess tournaments all over the world, why not throw it in the Olympics, huh?
SPEAKER_03Why not throw it into the winter Olympics and put it outside?
SPEAKER_04And now it becomes an extreme sport.
SPEAKER_03Like mountaineering, you climb the mountain, you play chess, but then you ski down. Oh we just piece this together. We just got ourselves a new event.
SPEAKER_04We're on to something here. Following up chess at number nine, checkers. We got chess champions, why don't we have checker champions? And the best part about I think that one specifically is like it's any ages. You get a five-year-old versus a nine-year-old for the gold medal.
SPEAKER_03Why are chess champions so arrogant?
SPEAKER_04Well, because chess is how you toily.
SPEAKER_03I don't like it.
SPEAKER_04Checkers is, you know, that's the whole saying. You know, they're playing chess, I'm playing, you know. I'm I'm Checkers is of the people. You know what I'm saying? I think Checkers is is a great dad. It could be summer, it could be winter. Wherever we need to put a spot, you know, they're getting rid of break dancing. Let's throw Checkers in there now. Number eight, which I think has a couple different uh variations we could do it here. Jousting.
SPEAKER_03You know, and I don't think it has to be horseback. But it should be horseback unless it was like an extreme thing on motorbikes.
SPEAKER_04I think motorbikes are like.
SPEAKER_03But I think it would really it would really sass up the equestrian events.
SPEAKER_04Oh I I never think of that.
SPEAKER_03If the equestrian champions then would go into a bracket and then they would have to joust for the ultimate equestrian champion. So we go through dressage, a dressage, yeah. Dressage, that's that's how I say it, anyways. Then when I'm with my equestrian friends.
SPEAKER_04And dress dressage is just the one where they just dance around, right?
SPEAKER_03They they boogie.
SPEAKER_04And then it's the jumping one. It's the it's the jumping one, and then jousting. And then jousting. And you know what? Some may die. But it's the Olympics. You want to be the best?
SPEAKER_03You gotta you gotta win. You gotta go all in.
SPEAKER_04And some of these might involve some fatalities. It just makes TV more entertaining, really. So, number seven, Tug O'War. What do you think of that?
SPEAKER_03I think that Tug of War was previously in the Olympics and it should return. I I I think it should too, hence why it's on the list. A lot of people don't realize that Tug of War was in the Olympics in the early aughts. I think Fergie was like the 19 aughts. I absolutely Fergie was there before he had to get his knee re-uh redone, re-jiggered.
SPEAKER_04A young fresh knee Fergie was a young fresh knee fresh knead Fergie? A fresh knee Fergie just tugging a war. Number six, I know this this might hit the ear weird, archery, but in the winter specifically. And I'm not talking inside. Outside, we're not bundled up. You're cold, it's snowy, it's windy, there's bears. I don't know. We're doing it in the mountains.
SPEAKER_03It's a survival sport.
SPEAKER_04And this could even be a little play on the biathlon, which is cross-country skiing into rifle shooting. Let's just let's put a bow in there instead.
SPEAKER_03I like where this is going. Right?
SPEAKER_04IOC, if you're listening, which I'm sure you are.
SPEAKER_03I don't know why you wouldn't be.
SPEAKER_04Uh hit us up. We can uh collaborate on some stuff. Number five, which plays off of our uh kind of interests of the downhill sleigh stuff, tobogganing.
SPEAKER_03I uh I think the GT snow racer is due to be used in a bring back the GT.
SPEAKER_04And I think this could be done on pretty much any surface. It could be on the the damn bob sleigh track, it could be on the downhill skiing. I think we could also do it. I know like when we were growing up, we were often pulled behind something, like a quad or sled.
SPEAKER_03Take it down the moguls track, a GT snow racer down the moguls track?
SPEAKER_04I would definitely tune into one. You could get points for staying on, you get points for tricks. I mean, those moguls guys do a flip anyways. Do it on a GT racer and land it. Do it, make it happen. I'd give a medal to that. Number four. Which I'm thinking this would probably fall under a summer Olympic sport. Line dancing.
SPEAKER_03Line dancing is a terrible scourge. Okay. And the worst. Um it's the worst.
SPEAKER_04Well, anyone who went to junior high or high school around the same time as me knows that there was at least a month-long segment in gym class that was just line dancing.
SPEAKER_03I'm glad that I did not go to junior high school at the same time as you, so I did not have to line dance. We probably wouldn't have been friends. We still aren't. No.
SPEAKER_04Come on, man. I but I think you could, you know. Because nowadays there's seemingly a line dance to damn near every song. Not in my world. I think this could easily be a uh team sport or a or and slash or a solo. You could easily, I mean, solo line dancing is just kind of sad, but you could do it.
SPEAKER_03Honestly, it's no sadder than regular line dancing in my books.
SPEAKER_04Okay.
SPEAKER_03Sammer down.
SPEAKER_04What's wrong with line dancing?
SPEAKER_03It's horrible. Okay. It's a scourge.
SPEAKER_04So you're more of a box trot guy? Box on society. A foxtrot? What was I thinking a box boy? Isn't that a type of dancing?
SPEAKER_03I have no idea.
SPEAKER_04But there's a box something.
SPEAKER_03I have a very short list of dances that I'm involved in.
SPEAKER_04Yeah, that doesn't overly shock me. Uh okay, so number three on this list of big you bunch of stuff. I have it written down here for likely a winter sport. Bowling.
SPEAKER_03Bowling's amazing.
SPEAKER_04Like we get a little who do you think you are? I am. Action of the Olympics, big Canadian flag on his chest.
SPEAKER_03I'd like to see a bunch of arrogant bowlers walking around and mucking it up with the curlers. Just strutting. Right? The Athletes Village. They're both just drinking and smoking and just chirping and yapping.
SPEAKER_04I mean, I would watch.
SPEAKER_03All these an apostrophe ending words. They're doing it all.
SPEAKER_04Name one time you've gone bowling and you haven't had fun. See, you can't. So I mean.
SPEAKER_03Of course, I I you know it's a lot funner than like I can name every time that I've got luging that I haven't had fun. But not with bowling. Always have fun bowling.
SPEAKER_04Exactly.
SPEAKER_03It's a great sport.
SPEAKER_04Add it in. I think we'd have some fun with it.
SPEAKER_03Why don't they have mixed luge, anyways? Something. You know what? We'll write a letter. I got mixed doubles curling. Why not mixed doubles luge?
SPEAKER_04Mixed doubles skeleton. Okay, number two here. And I think this one, there's there's some different ways we can go with it. Tag. Competitive tag like that TV game you see? With the jungle gym apparatus stuff and they're dipsy and diving and dodging. I think we could absolutely do that.
SPEAKER_03Do that outside so like your hands stick to the metal, your tongue sticks if you accidentally.
SPEAKER_04You get a little too sweaty, and all of a sudden you're stuck. But also, you could do that version of tag. We could go to just regular schoolyard tags. You've got your freeze tag, you know, toilet tag. What do you got? Kick the can?
SPEAKER_03I don't know about toilet tag. I've never. You clearly grew up in different eras.
SPEAKER_04You had to, you know, sit like a toilet and some whoever was not tagged at the top.
SPEAKER_03No, no, no.
SPEAKER_04Don't get your mind out of the gutter. Please leave me alone. You get tagged. You're gonna take care of business here, don't tag me. You would be frozen. It's kind of like freeze tag, and someone would have to come like unfreeze you. But you'd like sit like a toilet, and they'd have to sit on your lap and flush you. God, to grow up in your world, hey. Oh, it was just what a time to be alive. Well, it was yeah, that was something. But I think that could be fun. It could be again like team sport solo with the the uh the chasing one solo tag.
SPEAKER_03Solo, just one guy. Just one guy.
SPEAKER_04Solo tag in a house of mirrors. I'd watch that.
SPEAKER_03Okay.
SPEAKER_04Can you do it after I leave the office?
SPEAKER_03Before I close down the studio.
SPEAKER_04Uh a quick little honorable mention before I get to number one here. I think this is great. And I'm not sure why it's not in. Limbo. It's basically reverse high jump, if you think about it. No one's gone higher until someone's.
SPEAKER_03I'm not saying anything, not because I'm not interested in the subject. I'm not saying anything because I'm just perplexed that you would uh how one would pull off competitive limbo and uh best on best limbo.
SPEAKER_04It's it's reverse high jump. No one's gone higher than this guy until someone did. So no one's gone lock no one's gone lower until someone does. And it's not just as simple as all the get the skinniest guy and have him slide across the floor, but because you gotta be off the ground. It's a flexibility thing.
SPEAKER_03You could throw it in with a jet, we could add lasers. Like so that they know that you haven't touched?
SPEAKER_04I feel as though there would have to be some sort of honesty. But I mean it's the Olympics of the IOC. There's no honesty. There's no honesty. But I think it could be if we we could do this up. I think we could do it up well. And I'm thinking now that maybe it should have been on the list.
SPEAKER_03I think it's good as an honorable mention and uh just leaving it there.
SPEAKER_04Yeah. Just leaving it on the side. It's the redheaded stem children.
SPEAKER_03But it's not a dance. Oh, the limbo's a dance. Isn't it? You tell us. Comment over there if the limbo's a dance. I guess it's I don't know.
SPEAKER_04I think you're thinking of something else that sounds similar.
SPEAKER_03So involved in all these things.
SPEAKER_04Okay, auto mentioned limbo, and now the number one event slash game that I think should be added to the winter slash summer Olympiad on episode three. Darts.
SPEAKER_03It doesn't get much wilder than a darts competition.
SPEAKER_04I mean, you you look on like I'm sure you've seen some of those dart tournaments in the UK and stuff. I have. Like those are incredible events.
SPEAKER_03Who doesn't love drinking and throwing darts and smoking darts?
SPEAKER_04And I I just think as a sports fan, you could travel all over and you know, watch your hockey team or your baseball team.
SPEAKER_03They also got those nicknames too. Like they like are all in those guys.
SPEAKER_04They go big. So I think I'm it's easy to travel to different stadiums and watch a hockey game or a football game. But to go across the pond to a little pub, well, granted, half the time it's seemingly those guys are made in arenas.
SPEAKER_03Were you looking for another one? I'm just seeing where we're at. Being that I blew one off and are not.
SPEAKER_04We already finished one from that accidental taping session we didn't have. Um the you over the you know the they're not just it's not just a pub game. You see these, they're like stadiums.
SPEAKER_03Oh, yeah.
SPEAKER_04And they're hundreds, if not thousands, of people dressed up so their bosses can't see them on a Wednesday, pounding pints and jugs of beer.
SPEAKER_03I imagine that someone from the UK would come over here into one of our neighborhood pubs and see almost nobody playing the dartboard.
SPEAKER_04And just be sad and shed a tear.
SPEAKER_03And just wonder what the hell's going what the hell's wrong with us.
SPEAKER_04I mean, I think that's like when it comes to sports trips.
SPEAKER_03Or even if there are people playing darts, there's no one gathered around watching them.
SPEAKER_04No one's watching someone play darts. It's like, oh, who's that nerd playing darts? I just think that would be like from a sports trip perspective. I think, you know, maybe if the right sponsor jumps on board, we can do a little what we're saying trip over overseas to a dart tourney, huh?
SPEAKER_03Oh, there we go.
SPEAKER_04Hit us up. Chat or chat or email, which will be down there later. But yeah, I think you know, darts number one thing that should be added to the Olympics. That's uh I can't disagree with that. Right?
SPEAKER_03I can't do that.
SPEAKER_04I'm really the only one you you you really didn't like. Line dancing.
SPEAKER_03Well, line dancing's horrible. Maybe I should have had it up higher, but or not at all.
SPEAKER_04Oh, so I could have switched limbo for line dancing. You would have been okay with it. I don't hate limbo. I don't hate I don't hate any of this, which is why it's big you bunch of stuff and not tooth. So that's that. I think we should add some stuff to the Olympics.
SPEAKER_03Okay, now we are moving on to, if you recall episode one, Edgar dropped some fun facts on us.
SPEAKER_04Well, we we told him to drop fun facts.
SPEAKER_03We tried, he dropped some facts on us.
SPEAKER_04I guess technically those were facts. Um, what was it, doors that are pushed or supposed to be pushed, not pulled?
SPEAKER_03Water reaching room temperature, no matter how cold it was to begin. I don't know.
SPEAKER_04It wasn't good. Last week we suspended him. That was an executive decision. We wanted to give away. We also didn't an extra week.
SPEAKER_03We also didn't let him come for beers with us after the taping. And uh I think he got the point because he's very excited.
SPEAKER_04He's I think he he was eager, eager Edgar, as they say, when we rolled into the studio today about his fun facts.
SPEAKER_03He was keen. Keen to get these fun facts across. So Mr. Big Yuke. Mr. Tube Soft. He once again uh He did give me the cards. He does not want to read them himself.
SPEAKER_04Is that true, Edgar? No. Okay.
SPEAKER_03I'm which is again fine because we don't want him on camera.
SPEAKER_04The less time he's on camera, it's just our mugs you're looking at, the better. Um okay, Edgar. This is your redemption week, bud. I have not read these yet. These are Edgar's fun facts, episode number three here. Second edition. Second edition. Fun fact number one. The gestation period for a female gibbon is only seven months. Wow. And they will rarely give birth to more than ten offspring in their lifetime. Only ten, hey? I mean, that seems like a good number if you're a gibbon. Um, what is a gibbon?
SPEAKER_03A gibbon is not a monkey, but a not? It's an eight. I think because they have no tails, and I think that's the I could. Is that the the cutoff? I think that's the the cutoff is that monkeys have tails, apes don't have tails.
SPEAKER_04A gibbon, I mean, seven months, that's pretty quick. But well, they're not very big. But that was gonna be my next little point here. If they're not a monkey, but they're monkey-sized. Yeah, but they're a small ape. So it it's it'd be it's a monkey-sized ape. Yes. Would be like a a good way to describe it.
SPEAKER_03You don't be terrifying an ape-sized monkey.
SPEAKER_04Well, ape-sized curious.
SPEAKER_03That that tail would be like nine feet long, and it would just it'd be like it would whip you. I kind of want to see it now, though. Yeah, I do too, actually. From a safe distance.
SPEAKER_04I mean, I I've I mean, I think that is a fun fact because I've known very little about Gibbons. I mean, I know Gibbons is like the area, but not that Gibbons a monkey. Not a monkey, eight.
SPEAKER_03Not a monkey, an eight. That's double. I guess they're all primates.
SPEAKER_04Aren't we all primates? That's true. All right. Good one. If if we had nine foot tails, that's a topic for another show. All right, fun fact number two from uh eager Edgar over there. Baseball umpires are required to wear black underwear in case they split their pants during a game.
unknownWow.
SPEAKER_04I think that makes a lot of sense. And that's a fun fact.
SPEAKER_03I think that is fact. It's like Edgar's getting the assignment.
SPEAKER_04He's figuring it out. Because I mean, there would be nothing worse than you, you know, you've paid all this money, sit behind home plate, and all of a sudden umpires squats squats down to call a strike, and he's just wearing tidy whities with a brown streak.
SPEAKER_03Yes.
SPEAKER_04You won't see it with the black, I guess, is kind of the I get it, Edgar.
SPEAKER_03And that's uh, well, that's interesting. Fun fact. That's two for two, Edgar. You're doing good this week, buddy. All right. See if he can think he can uh keep this keep this tide rolling. What's he got for number three?
SPEAKER_04Fun fact from eager Edgar. Number three. Most clocks are designed to move forward in time. Maybe we should reread these once you write them.
SPEAKER_03Maybe we should only request two fun facts from Edgar.
SPEAKER_04Maybe three's pushed in the three might be too much for this guy. Because like your first two, I will say, those are fun. And I will bring up umpire underwear in conversation.
SPEAKER_03I will talk about givens quite frequently and their gestation period. Of seven months. There we go. That's the kind of stuff you don't forget.
SPEAKER_04You don't forget that. And they definitely don't have more than ten offspring in their lifetime. Rarely. Rarely. So you crush the first two, man, but the sec third one just Nay. Well he's I mean, I can't complain too much because he's learning. Those first two were pretty good.
SPEAKER_03That card throw wasn't great. It was terrible. Actually, most of them have been fairly they have not been great today.
SPEAKER_04Even thank gosh, the first couple weren't recorded. Because they were not good. What are we going to next, youke? Well, if you do recall episode two, I was uh great episode. Bestowed a task from one tube sock. Uh I guess it's tube sock suh, because it's an X. Yes, it is. Not just a singular tube sock.
SPEAKER_03As it's spelt right there. The Christian spelling of my name.
SPEAKER_04I was given a task from Tube Socks to watch watch a movie. And uh, you want to dive into what movie I was told to watch?
SPEAKER_03Because I've that uh I assigned to Mr. Big Youke to watch. Was one of my favorite movies of all time. From 1959, Odds Against Tomorrow, starring Harry Belafonte.
SPEAKER_04Harry Belafonte was definitely in that movie.
SPEAKER_03Robert Ryan? He was also in that movie. Shelly Winters. Yes. Gloria Graham. Yep. And Ed Begley Sr.
SPEAKER_04Ed Bagley Sr.
SPEAKER_03Okay, so I did watch this movie. Going into the two, you had never heard of this movie until I mentioned it to you.
SPEAKER_04Confirm to you. Hand up, never once heard anything about this movie other than when you told me the title.
SPEAKER_03And going in cold with just my vague setup for it.
SPEAKER_04All you told me was it was a caper. And the whole time I was getting ready to watch it, I was just kind of thinking, do I know what a caper is? And aside from the thing that sometimes goes in salads, I did. And hot tubs, actually. Hot tubs?
SPEAKER_03Hot dogs.
SPEAKER_04Oh. A caper and a hot dog?
SPEAKER_03Absolutely.
SPEAKER_04Okay.
SPEAKER_03Are you kidding me?
SPEAKER_04I can't say I've done that. Just like this movie I never watched. So it's a heist. A heist would have been probably a better way to describe it, because then I would have really. But at the same time, if you would have told me it was a heist, I probably would have expected more of said heist. Because not gonna lie, and I know it's been almost 70 years, but spoiler alert for anyone who was looking to watch this movie, the heist scene part not too long, not too grand either.
SPEAKER_03That's not the uh the gist of the movie. The heist is secondary to the character study of the players involved.
SPEAKER_04And I mean, oh I it feels though it didn't take long to study the characters though, because Earl, the main guy, bit of a dick. Uh right from the get-go, like he's got this beautiful woman in his life who played by a young Shelley Winters who actually was at the time. She would have been the young line.
SPEAKER_03She was a lovely guy.
SPEAKER_04But she was a lovely guy. And 59 was good for her. But she clearly adores this man for some ungodly reason. Like he's going out, and she the first thing, oh, you need more money, take more money. And she's just all over him when he gets home. And he just treats her like trash. As soon as she's gone to, I don't know, work or yeah, she goes, she's going to work. And and she's he doesn't work. No, of course not. He's a bum. He was in prison for manslaughter. As soon as she's gone, he's tongue deep down the neighbor's throat.
SPEAKER_03Gloria Graham, the vivacious Gloria Graham.
SPEAKER_04Vivacious as she was, this guy's a dick. I uh And I did my my notes here for for Earl were mane and tall. Because I didn't really know what else to say at the time.
SPEAKER_03Well, here's the thing is that if I may jump in with a character note question for you. Yes. Yes, Earl slash Robert Ryan. Earl. Compelling mess or just a nightmare human being?
SPEAKER_04Oh, I would have to say nightmare human being.
SPEAKER_03He's just a bad person.
SPEAKER_04He is a bad dude. Uh a bit of a racist.
SPEAKER_03Drops uh drops a couple of words. Drops some lines that were referring to Harry Belafonte.
SPEAKER_04Not for uh for television. Uh but yeah, I mean, I didn't like him kind of at all.
SPEAKER_03He never really does redeem himself.
SPEAKER_04No, not not really at all. Like, even like at the end, it's just like he no, he was a problem. The only thing I liked less than Earl, though, was the dog's living situation at the beginning of the movie.
SPEAKER_03That's a small apartment in New York City with a big German shepherd.
SPEAKER_04Big old so that was my first note here under the no, how was the movie, odds against tomorrow? Feel bad for the dog. Big dog, small place. And and then further, I've I I did actually take a bunch of notes here. I thought, like, like I said, Earl, huge dick.
SPEAKER_03And you get that right away from the opening scene where he shows up in the bar.
SPEAKER_04When he fights that army man, yeah, that's who fun fact, Trapper John from MASH, and Charlie Garrett from Murder She Wrote. Shout out Dad. That's how I recognize I recognized him. He was a young version of him, but as soon as I saw him turn around, I'm like, I know that guy's face, and then I paused it and went to some IMDB. And sure shit, Trapper John from MASH.
SPEAKER_03Kind of sets things up that yeah, he's a real dick.
SPEAKER_04And yeah, he just like hits him for no reason. And then I think on completely unnecessary love interest with the neighbor. I don't think that was necessary. He's you know he's a dick without him cheating on his woman.
SPEAKER_03That uh I mean it's in there for two reasons. One to establish what a a dick he is, and two to get Gloria Graham into the picture because a picture's always better with a little bit of Gloria Graham.
SPEAKER_04I I can't say that's an incorrect statement.
SPEAKER_03Well, we'll get in some maybe maybe there'll be some more Gloria Graham movies.
SPEAKER_04Uh I mean I wouldn't hate that.
SPEAKER_03Down the down the road. But then Because she has a pretty small role in this. She's just She's just the neighbor who he cheats and stuff with.
SPEAKER_04Yeah. Um And then, you know, once they kind of got to the I guess the what'd be the climax of the movie when they actually pull off this heist or try to, when Berg gets shot.
SPEAKER_00Spoiler alert.
SPEAKER_04Yeah, sorry, guy gets shot. It j like there's no bullet hole. He gets hit in the back from not very far away, and there's just this little poof of dust off his coat.
SPEAKER_03It was very tidy work by the police.
SPEAKER_04But I just like clearly, I mean, it was 1959. I can't imagine the budget for these movies was too incredible, considering in some scenes there's one person in the background. But it could have just gone better. Like, and I guess maybe the whole point of the movie is not the robbery is that it just goes to shit real time.
SPEAKER_03And it goes to shit and nobody wins. And that that's kind of the it's a But even then, like I would describe the movie in one word would be bleak.
SPEAKER_04Accurate.
SPEAKER_03And that's on purpose.
SPEAKER_04But he walks out of the bank and he's he is a full block away when that cop gets out of his car and yells, Hey. And he just turns around, smiles, and walks towards them. He's just being a couple hundred thousand dollars in small unmarked. He doesn't want to look at bills. It was nighttime. You're a shadow. Just turn the corner. You got two hundred grand on your person. Well, and then frickin' Earl just comes busting out the door.
SPEAKER_03Well, Earl just he's a calamity.
SPEAKER_04Yeah, I mean, and then like at the absolute end, the explosion, like, it just all goes to shit. Uh, I did like the stop dead end though sign that pans at the end. Right, that's kind of clever.
SPEAKER_03But like that was that was the only redeeming part of that end scene. Would you recommend this movie to a normal person? If someone said, Hey, have you watched this movie? Should I watch it?
SPEAKER_04I wouldn't persuade them to not watch it. Because I didn't have to be a good one.
SPEAKER_03It's worth watching.
SPEAKER_04Okay. I that's a way you could describe my feelings towards it. I wouldn't say no, don't, it's terrible. Again, it's not a crazy long movie. It was long because that website was a bit buggy. I had to restart halfway through and skip a bunch and try to find where it was. But that's not the movie's fault. That's his fault. It was 1959. You know, it's not on Blu-ray. Uh yeah, I mean I wouldn't I wouldn't direct them to not watch it if they had piqued any sort of interest in it.
SPEAKER_03Because it's not a terrible movie. I think it's a great movie. I mean, I think it's a compelling character study.
SPEAKER_04I can't say that. I can't say that that is how I feel about this film.
SPEAKER_03If you had to sum it up in one sentence to someone who, you know, hasn't seen it. Uh what would you say? Oh if I said, hey you, I'm thinking of watching Odds Against Tomorrow. Have you seen it? You would say, Yes, I have seen that movie. You know, I have seen that movie. What's uh what's the what's the what's the Cole's notes on that?
SPEAKER_04Uh I think I would actually describe it quite similar to the description of this this uh show. Lower your expectations and enjoy the ride. Cause that's kind of all it is. I mean, if that's your shtick, you probably love it. I had never seen a movie like that, so I really had no expectations. Or if I did, they were maybe incorrect.
SPEAKER_03See where I also watch a lot of movies in that of that ilk. And now I have a bit of a better understanding. It's very familiar to me, anyways, as the genre. Sure.
SPEAKER_04And I can't, like I said, that was the first. Would you classify that as film noir? Yes, it is film noir. That's definitely the first film noir I've ever seen.
SPEAKER_03The shots of it and the the fact that everyone gets their comeuppance and nobody wins because the whole thing is bleak and heavy and desperate.
SPEAKER_04Yeah, these are all hallmarks of the And now I have a better understanding for what I'm assuming there will be more of these in the future. I will go into it with a different uh a different point of view, but I can't say I hated it. I didn't hate it.
SPEAKER_03So there's that. That's pretty strong.
SPEAKER_04Um while we're on the topic of said movie, what uh how often you want to do this thing?
SPEAKER_03Like I don't know how often people want to hear about us talk about movies, but if we wanted to flip this around, I could watch a movie before the next show.
SPEAKER_04Because I have a movie for you to watch. I was I was loaded with this one, and again, I've I would I thought about this one for a while because I know you I knew you were giving me a movie to start this whole thing. And I've been thinking about what movie should I get tube socks to watch. And over the weekend, I may have can confided with some friends of ours about what movie you should watch.
SPEAKER_03That's weird because I didn't confide with anybody about the movie that you should watch.
SPEAKER_04Well, I did. And I think those who know know and will be very excited about this. Are you ready for it? I'm confident you've never seen this movie.
SPEAKER_03I'm very ready.
SPEAKER_04Pitch perfect, number one.
SPEAKER_03The fact that you say number one implies that there's more than one, and I can't believe that's real.
SPEAKER_04There's three of them? In the second one, she's a legacy, if you know, you know. Um, I won't make you watch number two the next time it's your turn to watch a movie. I'm not gonna do you like that. I might make you watch number two eventually, but I I just tough.
SPEAKER_03That's I mean, I don't know anything about it except that I except that it sounds horrible.
SPEAKER_04Oh no, but it's so good. I I'm very excited for you to watch this because again, there's colors in it. There's music from this millennia in it. I just think you you will find yourself enjoying it more than I think you think.
SPEAKER_03I'm skeptical of that uh of the enjoyment part? Yeah.
SPEAKER_04Well, I'm gonna enjoy you watching it. Not that I'm gonna watch you watch it.
SPEAKER_03Yeah, because that'd be really weird. But I'm gonna picture you watching it and know that you're gonna just not inviting you to my home to watch me watch a movie. Fine. That location is still undisclosed.
SPEAKER_04I'm gonna get there one day. Um, yeah, pitch perfect, number one. It's on Amazon Prime.
SPEAKER_03I have Amazon Prime.
SPEAKER_04Oh, I can't wait.
SPEAKER_03I watched a movie on Amazon Prime just uh the other night, uh, Blood on the Arrow.
SPEAKER_04Oh, I did know, see that you watched that.
SPEAKER_03Yeah, that was on Amazon Prime.
SPEAKER_04I think the best part is that your algorithm is gonna completely change.
SPEAKER_03Oh, yeah, so that's that's problematic. I may have to watch under my wife's account.
SPEAKER_04I was just gonna say, make another account. Make a what were we saying account? Yeah, I'll do it, I'll do a Mrs.
SPEAKER_03Tube Socks, I'll go into her account. That's big brain.
SPEAKER_04That's big brain stuff.
SPEAKER_03I don't need those.
SPEAKER_04Yeah, so Pitch Perfect is your movie number one, sir.
SPEAKER_03Ouch. That's tough.
SPEAKER_04That's I I think you're gonna have fun with it.
SPEAKER_03No, I'll have something with it.
SPEAKER_04I don't know what I'm gonna ask you about it.
SPEAKER_03But uh I don't know what I'm gonna say about it. I guess I'll see.
SPEAKER_04Oh, I can't wait.
SPEAKER_03Alright. Well, moving on from that, uh that's like the worst news I've gotten in a long time.
SPEAKER_04Well, you know what is good news though?
SPEAKER_03What's that?
SPEAKER_04Sponsor.
SPEAKER_03Oh yes.
SPEAKER_04Sponsor! No, uh, it is a new sponsor. We haven't heard from these guys yet. Uh, it's not necessarily because we have lots of them, it's because they don't come back from the room. Because we keep losing them. So our sales team has been busting their chaps, getting these sponsors.
SPEAKER_03In uh full disclosure, our sales team is Edgar and his buddy.
SPEAKER_04So we've never met this guy. Uh we've barely met Edgar, really. Um, but they keep bringing them in. So that's fun. So our sponsor this week, and hopefully next, the Carbon Paper Supply House. Boasting upwards of four different sizes of carbon paper, always in stock. That seems like a lot. I don't know how many more size options you'd need. I mean, but it's better than two, though. They have new stock arriving any day. Uh both single and double sheets. Because there's nothing worse. They need the double sheet, and there's only single sheets. Uh, when you go in there, which I know you will, uh, make sure you ask them about their smudge and save program. Uh they've got some great.
SPEAKER_03Everyone loves uh programs.
SPEAKER_04Well, it's a great reward program.
SPEAKER_03Reward programs, that's the word I was looking for.
SPEAKER_04I think, I mean, just ask them about it.
SPEAKER_03I I I don't know exactly what the rewards are because it's Did you hear the good news about our program?
SPEAKER_04They're great. Please tell me. You know, I think just ask them about it. Maybe you won't like it, but you still gotta ask. Uh, and they are located at the north-northwest entrance of the three-door mall across from the stenography school, which is kind of kismet.
SPEAKER_03Stenography's the future.
SPEAKER_04It is the future.
SPEAKER_03All right. Oh, I'm excited. Well, that leads us into what is a regular weekly segment, three things that can kick rocks.
SPEAKER_04I gotta keep saying it's been one of my favorites. We've gotten some great feedback from people. Uh the algorithm loves it. I'm uh for some reason.
SPEAKER_03Enjoying sharing them with you because these all come from deep down in my heart.
SPEAKER_04That's deep.
unknownOkay.
SPEAKER_04What else is a deep subject? Wells.
SPEAKER_03Hey oh. Three things that can kick rocks. Sizzling plates in restaurants.
SPEAKER_04Yeah, I can't say I disagree with you on that one because it just seems excessive. It's a big show. It's attention. They're hot. Like they're always so hot.
SPEAKER_03Well, they're sizzling hot.
SPEAKER_04Sizzling uh why am I risking birds on my body? It's unnecessary.
SPEAKER_03It's unnecessary.
SPEAKER_04I I got you on that one.
SPEAKER_03Comic Sans font. Where does that come from? It's the worst font ever.
SPEAKER_04Okay. I think there's worse fonts. What's wrong with Comic Sans?
SPEAKER_03It's horrible, and I've seen it on business signs, and I wonder It's new, it's hip! How it came to be, how someone let that happen.
SPEAKER_04Oh, come on. You know who's it for? Everyone. It's fun.
SPEAKER_03It's not fun.
SPEAKER_04Well, you're a Times U Roma guy, aren't you?
SPEAKER_03There's other options.

SPEAKER_04I oh come on.
SPEAKER_03It's just the worst. What about when people do like the half? It doesn't. That's even terrible because then there's two people participating. Well, come on. No. But you're not doing it. You're only doing half of it. No, I'm going to do this and reach for a beer.
