104: Two Sides Of The Truth - They claim structure. The show disagrees.

Big Uke & Tubesox follow up on a “How Was the Movie?” assignment, and Tubesox unveils a fresh Top 10 list. The guys also dive back into the WWWS Mailbag, where listener feedback ranges from supportive to suspiciously specific.

Of course, there’s the usual banter, conversational detours that feel planned but absolutely aren’t, and the return of “3 Things That Can Kick Rocks”—because some grievances simply refuse to stay quiet.

Four episodes in. Still not sure what the show is about.
But they’re committed now.

Transcript

SPEAKER_03 0:52

Well, good evening, morning, or afternoon. Welcome to what were we saying? I'm TubeSocks. I'm Big Yuke. And we are coming to you live on tape delay from the fifth floor of Blunderworks Studios in sunny downtown.

SPEAKER_02 1:11

I'm impressed they've kept us on the same floor.

SPEAKER_03 1:13

I'm impressed that it's uh remains sunny.

SPEAKER_02 1:16

It's been very nice weather for this in the middle.

SPEAKER_03 1:18

Well, yes, considering that we did have to move three times prior to actually uh doing our first show, it is nice that the consistency because also our parking spaces haven't changed, which is lovely. Well, uh thanks for joining us here. Please give a shout out to uh the chairman, Edgar Lasseter behind the camera. And of course, let's give a shout out to Harold Winthrop and the Silver Astro Orchestra for playing us in and playing us out. They're doing yeoman's work since they've joined on this big budget production. What are we saying today, youke? Football.

SPEAKER_02 1:58

For the last time. Until the next time. Until the next time. Well, starting with football. The big game last weekend. I know you did have that seven dollars coming your way if the Pats were to have been victorious.

SPEAKER_03 2:11

I did not get that seven dollars, but I still managed to have an okay day as far as winnings go.

SPEAKER_02 2:17

Yeah, that wasn't uh what was your kind of thoughts of like the actual football game itself? Because I personally I thought it was just awful.

SPEAKER_03 2:26

The Super Bowl was a Thursday night football game disguised as a Super Bowl. Honestly, that's very trappings of the Super Bowl, but it was a Thursday nighter. Yeah, uh no no touchdowns until the third fourth quarter.

SPEAKER_02 2:39

No, I I thought I legitimately thought one that Myers the kicker was gonna win MVP. And that there may have actually been a shutout.

SPEAKER_03 2:49

The shutout was in play until sometime in the fourth quarter, I think. Until it wasn't. Until it wasn't, that's the classic. Yeah, it was just not impressive football. But the best part of that game was us all getting together and enjoying. Oh, very much so. I'm like I the social aspect of it. Because honestly, I don't really give a monkeys about the game per se. And I don't always mean to mention monkeys, but I think in every episode we've had there has been.

SPEAKER_02 3:17

We've started with football and you've brought up monkeys.

SPEAKER_03 3:20

So, yes, I don't give a monkeys about the actual game. It's more about the hey, let's get together and drink some beers and watch some football and definitely.

SPEAKER_02 3:27

I if I would have been at home, I probably wouldn't have watched most of the second half. I mean, granted, I was not at home and with the crew and still didn't watch most of the second half versus the conversation.

SPEAKER_03 3:37

That's the nice thing about being with a crew is that when the game goes a little sideways or becomes uninteresting, it could just slide into mingling and hanging out and pay attention to props. Exactly, right? This man is the prop demon, by the way. I had a few. He had a full dossier of props. It was only two pages. Seems like a lot to me.

SPEAKER_02 4:00

Well, I mean, yeah, there was a lot. It's just a lot to keep track of, but that's why I had the dossier. You know what? I no way I would have remembered all of them, because there was there was a handful. It was an impressive array, and your penmanship was impeccable. Thank you. I am proud of my penmanship. Because I used to not have very good penmanship. My words would it was like a bastardized version of cursive. It was all connected and squiggly. But not cursive. But not cursive. Well. Yeah, then my my education taught me how to write a little bit better. I learned something.

SPEAKER_03 4:35

It was a good day. It was a good time had by all, I think.

SPEAKER_02 4:38

I I do believe it was a it was a good time.

SPEAKER_03 4:40

I think there was actually some people in that room that had some uh had had some feelings for one team or another, but it I certainly wasn't one of them.

SPEAKER_02 4:48

And no.

SPEAKER_03 4:48

It really didn't seem to be much of a crowd that uh really did care. It was just everyone was there having a good time. Everyone there was having a good time and couldn't believe what a dull game it was. Right?

SPEAKER_02 4:56

Until at least the fourth quarter was a good thing. That was most of the conversation of are we actually watching this? That's probably the second worst Super Bowl. What would be the first? Oh, another game with the Pats. Uh when they played the Rams. It was 13-3. And I don't think the first touchdown came again until the third quarter. That's a real taffy pull, isn't it? And at least this game there was you know, there was some more props that were were caching along the way. Like I think actually I had more correct bets before kickoff this year than I had all of last year's Super Bowl. It keeps engaged. Well, I was stoked right off the hop, so I was living the dream.

SPEAKER_03 5:36

The day was full of dreams.

SPEAKER_02 5:38

For some people. Nightmares for you know people who actually cared about that football game. That's true. That's probably not football. I think I'm football now for a while.

SPEAKER_03 5:49

We got a bit of a break, although CFL free agencies just opened up, but we don't need to talk about that.

SPEAKER_02 5:53

Because we're not a sports show. Not a sports show.

SPEAKER_03 5:56

There's lots of sports shows out there, we are not one of them. But we talk sports sometimes.

SPEAKER_02 6:02

Speaking of uh that that football game being kind of dumb, um you got anything else dumb this week?

SPEAKER_03 6:09

You know what? I do have a couple dumb things. And one of them is just something that happened to me while I was well, it didn't happen to me, I just happened to witness it. I'm at my local establishment, which is not far from Blunderworks Studios, and there was a lady there sitting at the wood, which was odd in itself, because usually it's a fellow's spot. We you know, just you don't usually don't see a dame sitting by herself at the wood. And she caught my eye because she was going nuts with her hand sanitizer. Oh. Like I was probably there for about, I don't know, an hour, an hour and twenty minutes. And I'd see her hand sanitize her hands. She'd had some food, she'd finished eating, hand sanitizer, you know, move her glass, hand sanitizer hands. When played the VLTs for two minutes, came back, hand sanitizer all over. She had a beverage. I don't blame her for the VLTs. No, I I have nothing about, but here's where the the issue is not with sanitizing her hands per se. Nothing wrong with that. It's she gets back and she orders, I think she was drinking wine or something, but she had a little glass of ice on the side. She was, you know, shaking it. Sure. A little bit of ice in there, whatever. Yeah. That's fine. After all the sanitizing, she went to shake her ice in, and a couple cubes went scooting across the bar.

unknown 7:23

Okay.

SPEAKER_03 7:24

Which is not sanitized. No. And she just grabbed them and dropped them in her drink. No way. I was expecting her to actually squirt some hand sanitizer on the ice in her drink. Because all the sanitizing, then she just scoops this bar off the grimy wood. So everything she's done this last hour is just completely opposite. Up set by grabbing this ice and dropping it in her drink that she picked up off the wood at the bar.

SPEAKER_00 7:51

Ew, that's gross.

SPEAKER_03 7:54

At least her hands are clean.

SPEAKER_02 7:57

Right? Well, this is so weird. Yeah, like yeah, like you said, the sat the constant sanitizing isn't the issue.

SPEAKER_03 8:04

It's weird in itself, but the fact that you just pick up that ice and just kind of scoop it away or pick it up with a napkin and put it on the floor. She just dropped it right in a drink. And it just said scoot it across the I've seen people at that bar and they're not they're not sanitizing, so everyone see people at that establishment and not the cleanest.

SPEAKER_02 8:25

Just to I don't care where you are, probably not picking ice off the table.

SPEAKER_03 8:30

No, again, the issue is not with her sanitizing her hands.

SPEAKER_02 8:33

That's that just adds to the fact that she just was so concerned about jerking.

SPEAKER_03 8:37

She picked up her ice and dropped it back in her drink.

SPEAKER_02 8:39

After it slid across the bar top.

unknown 8:41

Poof.

SPEAKER_02 8:44

Yeah. I I'm kind of at a loss for words with that.

SPEAKER_03 8:48

Well, it it there's not much you can say. Um and I have one more item which I didn't experience, and it's it is from a publication, but I'm not going to read the entire article. It's just the headline caught my eye.

SPEAKER_02 9:01

Okay. I like what this is.

SPEAKER_03 9:02

It was from an advice column. Ooh. This could go anywhere. And this is the headline, and I want you to please absorb this headline. Not nice knitter ruining woolly gathering. Let that sink in for a sec.

SPEAKER_02 9:19

Not nice knitter ruins woolly gathering.

SPEAKER_03 9:24

So the the gist of this is the lady who wrote this letter, they've got a knitting group. Okay. And there's a person who comes. Who's not nice? Who isn't nice, and she's making the gatherings unpleasant. That in itself, okay. That you know, people get together. There's always a jerk pants. But instead of, I don't know, saying to this person, hey, you know, or saying to the person who's holding it, say, hey, maybe we shouldn't invite Linda anymore, or what's Linda's deal? Fucking Linda. She pens a letter to a nationally syndicated advice column. So this is how I'm gonna This isn't small town Nebraska.

SPEAKER_04 10:01

This is how I'm gonna advise column either.

SPEAKER_03 10:03

This is how this is syndicated coast to coast to coast. How am I gonna solve this issue? Well, I'm gonna write a letter and I'm gonna send it in and find out what Lisi thinks of uh how should I approach this rude ruining woolly gathering. Huh. I'm just I honestly I'm just more shocked that people actually bother to send in anything to advise columns in this day and age.

SPEAKER_02 10:30

Like just sort your shit out. Just figure it out like you're a grown-ass adult. Um was there a good response to said Inquisition?

SPEAKER_03 10:38

It was all very meh. Just like it's just what you would think, right? Well, maybe have a talk with her. Maybe have a talk with the person who whatever to say. Not just a total garbage response, anyways. So I just don't know what benefit you get out of taking the time to pen, and it was a lengthy letter, like three paragraphs about this person who's ruining their knitting club.

unknown 10:59

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 11:00

It seems like a pretty easy fix. I would think so. Like if if anything's gonna ruin a knitting club, you wouldn't think it'd be someone who's invited to knit. You know, you'd think you'd only be inviting people who want to knit and have a good time knitting.

SPEAKER_03 11:12

You know, it's not the hey, hey, yeah, you know, uh, well, Linda's a bit of a drag. We should get her in our knitting club.

SPEAKER_02 11:17

Right? Like you don't invite like you just don't invite that. It's very strange because they're all usually pretty tight. She I'm I'm thinking Linda might must be a very good thing. She's a very like she's really good at the craft. And so they're like, ah, we need her there because she teaches us things, but she's kind of a Maybe that's it. She's kind of a jerk pants.

SPEAKER_03 11:35

It's like a risk. It's like, you know, we get a lot out of her being there. But we don't like her. Because I'm learning my Pearl 2s and all that stuff. Yeah.

unknown 11:44

Maybe.

SPEAKER_03 11:46

But uh something like that.

SPEAKER_02 11:47

Seriously. Advice columns. Advice columns just in general. They're dumb. But that it's not 1952. That's such a coffee shop bullshit story for like an like as an elderly person. But can you believe what Linda did this week at at the club?

SPEAKER_03 12:04

I'm gonna I'm gonna read this headline one more time before we move on because it's it's just ridiculous. Not nice litter ruining woolly gathering.

SPEAKER_02 12:12

I love that they've called it a woolly gathering.

SPEAKER_03 12:14

It's a woolly gathering.

SPEAKER_02 12:15

That's pretty good.

SPEAKER_03 12:15

I mean, I know that the person who wrote the letter didn't write the headline. Sure. I well. But if they can turn your letter into two line like that, you shouldn't be writing that letter. No. No, they really shouldn't. My goodness. Alright.

SPEAKER_02 12:31

Oh, that's that's uh I will concur that that's pretty dumb.

SPEAKER_03 12:36

Well, we're gonna uh move on from that and dig back into the WWS mailbag. Ooh, mailbag. We uh didn't last week, but we're uh back on it this week. Uh youke, you want to read uh you want to read one? We'll read a couple now, a couple later.

SPEAKER_02 12:51

Yeah, yeah, I got a I got I got one here that I think would be good. Alright. Ooh, this one's actually uh this one's about you. Oh Hello, what were we saying? I like the show, but I've noticed that TubeSock says here's the thing a lot, and then sometimes there are multiple things. If it's more than one thing, maybe he could say here are several things or here's some things. It would make the show feel more organized. Not mad, just noticing. Oh, it's signed. By whom? Mike. It's a very common name in coaching circles. Yeah, I mean that's not like a really standoutish name.

SPEAKER_03 13:28

I know a few mics. That's um I have no quarrel with that, you know. That's uh I don't know if that's a concern. That's not like a woolly gaddy.

SPEAKER_02 13:36

Well, well, he does say he's not mad. He just noticed. I appreciate that. He's picking up picking some things out. He's picking the knit. Alright. Picking the knit.

SPEAKER_03 13:46

Well played.

SPEAKER_02 13:47

Pretty proud of that one.

SPEAKER_03 13:48

Alright, well, I've got one here.

SPEAKER_02 13:50

Yeah, what's he what do you got?

SPEAKER_03 13:51

Well, this one says, Dear, what were we saying?

SPEAKER_02 13:54

That's us.

SPEAKER_03 13:54

Really enjoy the show overall. But I wanted to point out that sometimes a segment feels like it's ending, but then it doesn't. I mean one of you will say, anyways, or alright, or moving on, and then there's maybe another 30 to 45 seconds or so of jokes. I'm not saying cut them, just maybe warn us so I don't take my earbuds out too early. Still listening every week, brad. And then it says in brackets, yes, that brad.

unknown 14:21

That brad.

SPEAKER_03 14:23

And that is like all in capitalist, so he wants to be an emphasis. Oh, that brad. Brad. Yes, that brad.

SPEAKER_02 14:29

Oh that brad. Uh yeah, he would make a comment like that.

SPEAKER_03 14:33

I I'm not sure which. I mean, I know, like probably 17 brads.

SPEAKER_02 14:36

But if it's that brad, I I believe it. Huh. Interesting. You know what? Anyways, so that note we have there from that brad. Yes. You know what, Brad? Thanks for your input. Brad! We uh we cherish it.

SPEAKER_03 14:52

Yeah, I appreciate that, Brad. Oh, there was a there's a liner for that segment, too, right? You know, I thought there was supposed to be, but I was just so eager to find out what Brad was saying. That Brad. That Brad. Well, let me read the uh liner for that segment, which uh You know what? We're not gonna always do things in the right order here.

SPEAKER_02 15:10

But you know what? It's our show. So meh, we'll do what we want to do.

SPEAKER_03 15:12

Uh, this is a a return sponsor. There we go. Not in the last episode, but they uh did sponsor the previous. Uh Marlowe's Family Diner.

SPEAKER_02 15:22

Oh, I did I did enjoy them.

SPEAKER_03 15:24

Uh interesting note though, they uh they sent us a letter saying that they're now a mobile restaurant due to some issues with their lease.

SPEAKER_02 15:30

Ooh. So like food truck style.

SPEAKER_03 15:32

So that's well, they didn't say that. It's just moving. So it's it's you know, maybe it's uh just like on a flat deck. They say uh we're parked this week at the vehicle waste station where Highway 43 meets Highway 42? Yeah, 32. That makes some more sense. Well, way station, people gotta eat. Uh featuring slightly less comfortable booths than their brick and mortar location, but they insist that the food is still decent.

SPEAKER_02 15:55

So how are they just built on a trailer?

SPEAKER_03 15:57

Um they also want to remind you that this is a family diner. So if you arrive without a family, they will assign one to you for the duration of your visit.

SPEAKER_02 16:07

I think that's just good restaurant ownership.

SPEAKER_03 16:10

I I've never heard of that before, but I I like where they're going. I like that they're making that a thing. It's like if you show up without a jacket, they give you one if you need a jacket. Right? You rent a family. And they also want to point out that uh they now have Wacky Wednesdays featuring bottomless fountain pop up to two refills.

SPEAKER_02 16:28

You want to read that part again for me, that partner?

SPEAKER_03 16:30

Wacky Wednesdays featuring bottomless fountain pop up to two refills.

SPEAKER_02 16:35

Ah.

SPEAKER_03 16:36

So basically it's one refill. You get a free refill.

SPEAKER_02 16:39

A free refill.

SPEAKER_03 16:40

Or is it two refills?

SPEAKER_02 16:41

Or is it two re- you get three drinks?

SPEAKER_03 16:43

Right. I mean, that's a lot of liquid. Yeah. Unless they're giving you five ounce cups.

SPEAKER_02 16:48

That wow, it kind of wouldn't shock me with these guys.

SPEAKER_03 16:50

Wow. After they assign you a family, then they assign you a very small cup. You're your bottomless, but here's the bottom. Your bottomless. Right.

SPEAKER_02 16:59

Oh my goodness. It's bottomless, but we can find the bottom quickly. Alright. Well, let's. Well, thanks, Marlo. Yeah, we appreciate you being on board, though. And then pretend we read the notes after that. Right. Where they're supposed to go.

SPEAKER_03 17:11

Uh you guys get it. Also, last week, uh, Edgar, he really shone for two out of the three fun facts. He really did. And if you were with us in that episode, you'll recall we discussed it. Maybe three fun facts is too much for Edgar. So we've assigned him two this week.

SPEAKER_02 17:27

I think three may have been pushing it this early into because I mean, like we said, we don't know much about the guy. No. I don't know if he's really ever done research on anything. So I think three was may have been kind of we're pushing our luck with three. Uh yeah, exactly. I think it's we can get a couple a couple solid weeks in a row of like two that don't suck. Which again, I have very little faith for for Edgar here, but so he's got two this week.

SPEAKER_03 17:58

That man is gonna read them.

SPEAKER_02 18:00

Alright. Edgar. You've been going for two weeks in a row with uh good good things here, so I got hope. Fun fact, number one Your body replaces most of its red blood cells roughly every 120 days. Meaning you're basically running on a rotating roster of oxygen couriers that quick quietly retire and get recycled by your spleen without you ever noticing. Oh wow. I mean that is That's a lot of words to just say you recycle your blood cells every 120 days, but I appreciate how you went detail and and and you played with some I mean, a roster that's takes sports. You we're not a sports show, Edgar. But I I do quite enjoy that. Yeah, no, that was fun. Rotating roster of oxygen couriers that quietly retire and get recycled by your spleen. That is incredibly well written. I think you got a proxy. Alright. Fun fact number two firefighters often wear helmets while doing firefighter work. This helps identify them as firefighters and also keeps things from falling directly onto their heads while they are firefighters. I just don't understand why you can't just do that. It was so good. It was so until it wasn't. And the way you wrote the first one versus the way you wrote the second one.

SPEAKER_03 19:27

It's almost like you had a friend write the first one. I definitely think winged the second one.

SPEAKER_02 19:31

I definitely think the second one was written in the parking lot. It was in the parquet. When he realized he only had one.

SPEAKER_03 19:37

Oh shit, I gotta write one more. Yeah. And then he saw a fire truck go by and he went, hey, look at the helmets.

SPEAKER_02 19:41

They're wearing helmets to help when they're doing firefighter work. What a tool. And like the hat the the helmet is what identifies them for you? That's it. Yes.

SPEAKER_03 19:51

That special helmet with the thing out the back.

SPEAKER_02 19:55

They're the only ones who wear that. Well, because it keeps things from falling directly onto their heads while they're firefighting. So they could still fall indirectly. So I don't think he understands what a helmet's for. That's fine. I have 50%. We'll try again again. Try again again. Next time. Next time. Edgar.

SPEAKER_03 20:14

Are we going to the top 10 or uh movie next?

SPEAKER_02 20:18

What do you feel more comfortable with going with? I I I I think we should go movie because I am very, very I've been waiting all week for this breakdown.

SPEAKER_03 20:28

Okay, we'll we'll go to uh we'll hit up how was the movie and get the top ten after. So to to kind of reset this here. Going back to the first episode or the first time we did this.

SPEAKER_02 20:40

Yeah, episode well, episode two, uh you assigned me a movie. Uh Odds Against Tomorrow.

SPEAKER_03 20:46

Odds Against Tomorrow, 1959. A late film noir entry.

SPEAKER_02 20:50

And I didn't hate it. And then last week I kind of sprung it on you without kind of warning you. Because it was just on the tip of my tongue the whole episode. Uh, I assigned him to watch the movie Pitch Perfect, number one. And yeah, I mean that that's that's kind of all you need to know about that. I want to know what you uh from the top.

SPEAKER_03 21:13

Well, I I give me your run through. I watched it last night.

SPEAKER_02 21:17

Oh, I'm so glad you watched it.

SPEAKER_03 21:19

And uh I was half expecting to just I did uh I did take precautions before watching it. For instance, I made sure when I went on Prime I logged into Mrs. TubeSocks's account. So that I don't get more suggestions of that ilk on my tulling my account. Uh and I will say, okay, so I'm watching it last night, and the first thing that came to me is wow, hi how been I watched this before. No, the first thing was like, hey, cool, John Michael Higgins is in it. I like him. You know him from Christopher Guest films, and he was in that episode of Seinfeld, the uh that one, yes. The cockfighting uh little Jerry Seinfeld. A little Jerry Seinfeld. Elaine's boyfriend, where she saw his driver's license and he had a full head of hair, yet she was dating him and he was bald. And she's like, Oh, he used to have so much hair, and he's, you know. Willingly shaved it off. He said, Oh, I shave it off because I just like the way it looks. Then he grows it back and realizes that he's actually losing his hair because he'd been shaving it for so many years. Okay, we're not talking about Seinfeld here, too. No. But that's uh so I very much enjoyed his asides and they're the commentators. I don't know who the chick was, but he was very good. And uh she was actually good too. I just don't know who she was. Um let's see, what notes do I have here? Okay, uh some characters. Well, uh I will mention, I guess, the main guy, Bumper Allen. Bumper! I have uh pretty funny. I have two notes about him. I have very punchable face and aggressively mid talent, as the kids would say.

SPEAKER_02 22:52

I can't necessarily disagree with that.

SPEAKER_03 22:53

And I gotta say, first of all, I'd like to say it was really odd watching this movie. Because I don't remember the last time I watched, I don't know, I call this a teen movie, since I was like maybe a teen and it was a different time. So this was just it was weird too.

SPEAKER_02 23:07

Oh, it was uh it was a definitely an awakening for you.

SPEAKER_03 23:10

It was uh something that of the likes I haven't done since hang on. That checks out. How many did you consume while watching? It's all coming back to me, but I did I watched the entire movie. I took notes, I jotted things down.

SPEAKER_02 23:26

So bumper, punchable face, very mid-level talent.

SPEAKER_03 23:30

I did say that uh I did make a note that the puke angel was a nice touch. I did appreciate that.

SPEAKER_02 23:37

That was uh That's a positive. This is more there's more positives here than I would have expected.

SPEAKER_03 23:42

Uh about the music.

SPEAKER_02 23:43

I noted that the Well, you're not an Al cappella fan?

SPEAKER_03 23:46

The uh the performances seemed implausibly complex for the amount of people on stage.

SPEAKER_02 23:51

Well they were to step it up.

SPEAKER_03 23:53

I had to suspend disbelief a little bit on that. It's national. Uh and apart from the music obviously just being cheesy and cringe-inducing.

SPEAKER_02 23:59

Oh.

SPEAKER_03 24:02

But there was a uh there was a club beat loop was hidden in there in her little mix computer, which if you know, you know. If you know, you know. So I was I that perked my ears up right away. Um but I went into this when when I was first assigned this, I took great umbrage with what I felt uh Big Yuke was doing to this segment by assigning this movie. And uh There was no ill intent here. It really felt like there was, but uh, I will say that it was actually fun. Yes! I that is such a win. That is such a win. There was a lot of what you know, like sacking kind of like this is this is not my bag. This is but I went in with an open mind because if anyone knows TubeSocks, you know, he's an open-minded Yeah, that's what we call you. Free kind of guy. Yep, that's exactly what we say when you're not around is he's free. And uh, anyways, no, it was actually a fun movie. Um some bits were and I didn't know any of the music except for like the Really? The 80s stuff. Like when they were in the pool. Well, there was some like they'd mix in little 80s songs, whatever. Pretty sure that's how like the one like the Aka Battle starts as well. But then they'd branch off into Yeah, like new age stuff. Stuff that they'd mention people that I didn't know. But I'm I mean it's not it's they're not doing it for me, so that's fine. It's like a Super Bowl halftime show while people get angry about it. It's not for you. It doesn't have to be for you. No, it's not for you, it's for others. Yeah. No point getting all in and out about it. Right. But uh it was uh it was a fun movie. And uh you did say to me, I think you'll find it I did say I thought you were going to enjoy it more than originally we would have thought. I was lamenting with uh Mrs. Tube Sox before I uh headed into the uh the detention room to watch the movie. And I told her what I was about to embark on. And she said her words were, oh, that'll be good for you. And uh and I will say that once I emerged from the detention room, she asked me how the movie was, and I said, you know what? I think you'd like it, and it's gonna show up in your suggestions because it was watched on your on your account.

SPEAKER_02 26:07

So I mean, I I'm gonna count that as a total victory for for you, Kir, that you didn't just dread it. I honestly didn't know what to expect.

SPEAKER_03 26:16

I thought it was like like a children's movie. I was expecting just by the title, I assumed it was for seven-year-olds. No, I don't know. I thought it was like a Disney thing, or I don't know. I don't know what to expect.

SPEAKER_02 26:26

I don't think if it was a Disney thing, they wouldn't have a character named Fat Amy.

SPEAKER_03 26:30

Well, I mean, this is again before I watched anything. Just it's it's a singing movie with like pretty kids. I mean, that's an apt description of it. So on a general reason. I'm not one to usually watch fun movies, so that was uh So maybe I will make you watch Pitch Perfect 2 next.

SPEAKER_02 26:49

I don't think I think we want to uh Okay, you know it was fun-ish, but we don't want to dive into it.

SPEAKER_03 26:54

I did have a cleanse immediately afterwards by watching uh uh I watched three quarters of The Man from Rio. You needed something without color. Really? Yes, in 1955 website with uh Anthony Quinn, and then I watched the remainder of it uh at a later point.

SPEAKER_02 27:09

But uh Oh, that's so incredible.

SPEAKER_03 27:13

Anyways, I did it.

SPEAKER_02 27:14

Hey, well, not gonna lie, that is much better feedback than I thought I was gonna receive for that movie.

SPEAKER_03 27:20

Well, you know, I was trying to look at the pauses because also, uh, you know, I don't want to give the impression that I'm a curmudgeon. I love stuff. I'm a fun guy. You love weather? I love weather.

SPEAKER_02 27:30

And like black and white movies. So why would people think you're a curmudgeon? I'm tolerant of this. What signs have you given out to indicate that you're a curmudgeon? So yes.

SPEAKER_03 27:39

That was actually I'ma count that as a victory. I'm not gonna dive back into that genre anytime soon. I will go back to the dragnet and whatnot, but uh you gotta finish the trilogy.

SPEAKER_02 27:50

The second one, she's a legacy. And you'll know what that means when you watch the second one. Probably won't. In your free time, willingly now.

SPEAKER_03 27:57

Probably won't.

SPEAKER_02 27:58

Yeah, but what if you did? How crazy would that be? It would be pretty crazy. Well, I think that is honestly a very successful edition of uh How Was the Movie? Uh we're gonna take a little bit of a break from that.

SPEAKER_03 28:11

But it's not gonna be a weekly movie segment, but we will be.

SPEAKER_02 28:14

We will be coming back to that f semi-frequently because I think I think we can have some fun. Because there's a lot of movies, again, we have very different tastes in films. So I I think we might have to. And clothing. Well, okay, yeah, and music. And music, pretty much everything. A lot, actually. Really. The only thing we have really in common is we both wear glasses, have beards, and love a ball cap. There we go. Yeah, we'll definitely come back to that. Uh, because we could do probably three, four thousand episodes of this show before we hit a movie that one of us uh has already seen.

SPEAKER_03 28:46

Or if we start to run out of material, it will just become a movie show. Oh, yeah, there we go too. We might just only do movies. There we go. Oh, are we hitting going back to that top ten then? Yeah, I was presented by somebody? No, I and that that's fun. I don't know. It was really it was really weird. I've never watched a movie that uh someone has told me to watch before. I mean, people have suggested things and pushed you towards them. I was like, you should watch this. Yeah, okay. Yeah, I will. I'm I'm and almost never will you. Right. But I really had to because I had to come on this.

SPEAKER_02 29:20

How?

SPEAKER_03 29:21

So, anyways.

SPEAKER_02 29:22

You know what's funny that that uh you started s ending the segment and then went right back into another edition, another sentence about said segments. Just like that. So that Brad was on to something.

SPEAKER_03 29:35

That Brad was totally on to something. Alright.

SPEAKER_02 29:39

Oh, oh, that's actually really funny. Yeah, well, okay. That Brad, I see you, I hear you. We're probably not gonna work on it. No. But what are we are gonna work on?

SPEAKER_03 29:53

Oh, we go top ten now, so you got a liner for this guy?

SPEAKER_02 29:56

I got a liner for this guy. Another return sponsor. Another return sponsor back-to-back week, which is crazy. Um these guys haven't had to move to a way station with their business. They are still located at the north-northwest entrance of the three-door mall across from the Synagogue School, which is which is fun. Uh, they are still boasting upwards of four different sizes of carbon paper. Um day it'll be five. If you missed last week's episode, this is the carbon paper supply house. Uh, they do have new stock arriving any day, both single and double sheets, because there's nothing worse than needing a double sheet and only having a single. And this is something that I feel is over.

SPEAKER_03 30:34

Try to find that at Staples, you can't. They never have what you need. They never have the carbon.

SPEAKER_02 30:39

This is something that I think is important that we mention here. Um, last week we made sure to Yeah, grab that, please. Uh we made sure to mention that you asked them about their smudge and save rewards program. They had lots of lots of fun little stuff things involved there. Uh they since contacted us about that. It has been discontinued. So when you go to the Carbon Paper Sply House, please do not ask. They they boldly wrote it in their letter uh to not bring it up. I think someone got fired for it. Um maybe someone just made it up and it wasn't a thing. I don't know, but they seemed real ticked off that we were so admitting about this smudge and safe program. So yeah, carbon paper supply house, don't ask about the smudge and safe.

SPEAKER_03 31:26

Alright. That leads us into this week's top ten list. I'm excited for this! And the subject is Top Ten ways that I tube socks have already changed since starting this show. Hey!

SPEAKER_02 31:43

It's been I really thought you were gonna say since watching Pitch Perfect. I'm like, there's ten reasons? Holy!

SPEAKER_03 31:48

It's been a month. You wouldn't think there'd be a lot of change. I've got ten things that have changed.

SPEAKER_02 31:55

It's been a month. That's also kind of crazy that it's already been this is already episode four. Right? Time's flying by. We're gonna be at 100 no time.

SPEAKER_03 32:02

Okay, here we are. Number 10. I no longer talk, I riff. Ah, yeah. Okay. Even at work. Uh-oh. Especially at work. Mainly at work. Number nine. I've stopped enjoying things unless I can later describe them on the show as problematic yet fascinating. Like picking up ice cubes off a dirty bar top. I number eight, I now pause after jokes in real life now, just in case there's laughter, and I need to let it breathe. Really get some looks for that now when I'm just out and about in my daily life. You stop. Look around.

SPEAKER_02 32:42

Oh, no one's laughing. I should probably continue talking here. Oh.

SPEAKER_03 32:46

Number seven. I introduce myself on camera, off camera, the same way I do just in case.

SPEAKER_02 32:53

Hi, I'm TubeSocks. Hi, I'm TubeSocks. Hey, well, in this day and age, you never know who's watching, who's recording. You know, we've been doing this for a month. People are starting to notice us. You never know when they're trying to steal clips.

SPEAKER_03 33:04

Number six. I instinctively look for a producer nod before finishing sentences. There's no producer.

SPEAKER_02 33:12

No, they're really just looking for that approval, right? You need that.

SPEAKER_03 33:16

When Edgar gives that nod, you're like, okay, we're on the right track here. This is good. We're doing we're doing it. Number five, I assume that every conversation is being clipped for socials, despite there being no cameras present.

SPEAKER_02 33:28

I really like that one. You never know when you're gonna get a good clip. That's just life. Exactly. That's the beauty of a clip. You can't force it.

SPEAKER_03 33:37

Number four, I now describe mild inconveniences as content opportunities.

SPEAKER_02 33:44

Everything's content.

SPEAKER_03 33:45

Everything is content, absolutely. Number three, I've developed fake rivalries with people who don't even know this show exists. I don't like those people. Them some bitches. Them some bitches. Uh number two, I've started saying, we'll unpack this later. And I never unpack it.

SPEAKER_02 34:04

It's a tease. This industry is all about teasers and clips. Which it's really weird. You can is a lot of other industries too, just about teasing and clips. Right? You know?

SPEAKER_03 34:16

And the number one way that I tube socks have changed since starting the show. I've quietly started planning my downfall arc because it'll be incredible content.

SPEAKER_02 34:28

Tube socks I love. I mean, hey, there's no better idea than planning for the future. Right? Because you just never know when you're gonna need Oh my goodness. You're gonna need that downward trajectory. Because then that means there's a bounce back episode. Incredible content opportunity. I think it I think that is a uh incredible list of reasons and I worked on a bit of it while watching that movie last night. Oh, so you weren't fully invested in it.

SPEAKER_03 34:54

Oh, I was. I I'm very much a multitasker now that I'm doing this big internet show. Big. Alright.

SPEAKER_02 35:04

That was a good list. I uh I appreciate that list.

SPEAKER_03 35:08

Are we going uh back to the mailbag before we uh have some uh rock kicking?

SPEAKER_02 35:13

Yeah, we might as well give your give your voice a little rest of it. I'll talk for a while. Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 35:18

Well, I mean You wanna go first?

SPEAKER_02 35:21

Do you want me to go first?

SPEAKER_03 35:22

Well, you know what? I'll go first, and then I'll uh then you can read before I go into the kick rocks, cake. Yes. Who do we got here? Alright. Hi, Triple WS. No question mark. That's kind of concerning.

SPEAKER_04 35:34

Yeah, they're close enough.

SPEAKER_03 35:35

Huge fan. I've been listening since episode one, and now I can't fall asleep without the show on. Ah unfortunately, I've trained my brain to associate your voices with REM sleep, so whenever Big You gets heated about something, I wake up in a panic thinking I forgot to pay a bill. I mean, that'll happen. This isn't a complaint, just feedback. Also, my dog reacts negatively to the theme sword. What well your dog's an idiot. Thanks for everything, Melissa, brackets, and Baxter.

SPEAKER_02 36:05

Well, Baxter, I hate to tell you this. You might be a bit of an idiot.

SPEAKER_03 36:11

Hey, whoa, hey. Maybe he's a collie. You know what?

SPEAKER_02 36:14

That would make sense. And Melissa, pay your bills.

SPEAKER_03 36:19

Now you won't have those panics.

SPEAKER_02 36:20

You won't have to worry about it. I don't get heated, okay? Simmer down. Never heated. Never. I'm like the inside, I'm like the middle of leftover lasagna. Just never heated. Wow. That's the chill tour. The outside of me gets warm, but that's a different issue. Uh okay. So I got uh I got one here. Hey guys. That's very familiar. Love the show. You should just stop writing there. That's all we need, is love the show. Because now you're gonna go into some stuff. I don't know where this is going. I listen every Thursday night while reorganizing my garage. I don't have a car, but the garage is still important to me spiritually.

SPEAKER_03 37:00

Ah, yes, as it would be.

SPEAKER_02 37:01

I mean, I get it, you guys store stuff. Some stuff. Anyway, just wanted to say the banter is elite and the chemistry is undeniable. Elite? Elite and undeniable. Holy crap. That said, I do think that it can get confusing when you're both laughing at the same time. I don't want you to stop laughing. I just want you to maybe laugh in shifts. Keep up the great work, Darren, garage listener.

SPEAKER_03 37:26

Darren, eh? Well, Darren. Well, this is interesting. I mean, the letter's been much more positive this week than those first ones. That first batch, everyone was just I think we're getting better. This is terrible. And no one was signing them. So I find it interesting that all the negative letters were unsigned. Unsigned. And these ones that are at least half positive. Somewhat positive, some a little peculiar. Yeah, Darren, Melissa, Mike.

SPEAKER_02 37:50

Brad, that Brad. That Brad, which I don't That fucking guy.

SPEAKER_03 37:54

Frickin' guy.

SPEAKER_02 37:56

Well, thank you, Darren, for listening. From your garage. And we will uh like like you with his uh uh Here's Some Things and the ending segments part. Yeah, we'll work on it. We probably won't work on it. But thanks for listening.

SPEAKER_03 38:14

Alright. That brings us to three things that can be.

SPEAKER_02 38:18

Honestly, my favorite my favorite time of the week.

SPEAKER_03 38:21

They're right here on this dare card there. On this card. Okay, again, short segment as per always, it's just three things.

SPEAKER_02 38:29

My favorite three things.

SPEAKER_03 38:31

Let you finish your sip, and actually I'll take a sip before diving into this.

SPEAKER_02 38:35

I wait all week for this.

SPEAKER_03 38:38

Alright, three things I can kick rocks. Professional poker players wearing sunglasses. Are you a pro or you're not? Wait, so you're wait, okay. If you're a professional poker player, you shouldn't need sunglasses. But so you the one thing you can't do is a poker face? Then you're not a pro. Pick a different vocation.

SPEAKER_02 38:58

Fair.

SPEAKER_03 38:59

Number two, ranch dressing. Okay, no, no. What?

SPEAKER_02 39:05

Stop it. The scourge. Are you kidding me? I'm not kidding you. I never kid. Well, that's that's kind of true. But what do you mean, ran what? It goes with everything. Name one thing ranch doesn't go with. See, you can't. Everything. It doesn't go with anything. It goes with everything. It goes with nothing?

SPEAKER_03 39:19

Name any food, I'll put reggae. And the third thing that can kick rocks, reggae music. Why? What's your beef with reggae? I don't have a beef with it, but it can certainly kick rocks. Well, fair. It's also the only music that makes me angry when I hear it. I get noticeably agitated when I'm gonna be able to get it. So you're not you're not planning any trips to to Jamaica? Nope. If I do, I'll have my uh my uh earbuds in. Earbuds and blue cheese. My earbuds in with my blue cheese dip. I I don't even know what to say, honestly. I don't I don't really think people like reggae, they just play a lot of.

SPEAKER_02 39:52

Oh, I'm I the reggae is whatever. I'm still I'm still torn on the ranch thing. Might be my favorite dressing. It's unnecessary. It's so necessary for so many things.

SPEAKER_03 40:03

I can't think of one proper application for ranch dressing. Any food ever. No food. Yeesh. That hidden valley, they should have stayed freaking hidden a little better.

SPEAKER_02 40:14

Hidden Valley's the best one!

SPEAKER_03 40:16

Not gotten that secret out.

SPEAKER_02 40:17

Oh my god.

SPEAKER_03 40:18

They should have kept well enough alone and kept it to themselves.

SPEAKER_02 40:20

I said I was excited for this segment. Now I wish I could go back in time three minutes till I didn't hear that. Well.

SPEAKER_03 40:26

It is what it is. And that's what it is. I stand by my words. Rocks are kicked.

SPEAKER_02 40:33

Rocks are kicked, balls are flipped.

SPEAKER_03 40:37

Well, shall we uh Well, after that, yes, we definitely need to end this. Wind this. Nope. So actually, so obviously we need to tell you to like, comment, subscribe, and share with your friends. I've actually received messages from friends of mine who have said, hey, I shared your show. And I don't usually share things. We appreciate that. Thank you for sharing. Uh, because you know what? There might be some more people out there that like this. I bet there's people that like ranch too. Nah, there's not many. I don't think it's gonna make it uh it's not a popular thing.

SPEAKER_02 41:16

I think it's a very popular thing. You need to figure out your priorities, sir.

And uh well, how do you think it's showing today there, uh, Yuke?

SPEAKER_02 42:16

Well, until the ranch thing, I thought it was going great. And even then, like I get it, you don't like a lot of things that people like, so it makes sense that you wouldn't like ranch. Uh but no, I your description of your viewing of Pitch Perfect was better than I could have imagined.

SPEAKER_03 42:32

I gotta be true to myself, youke, and I uh didn't hate it. That's a win. That's that is But I did have to have a cleanse afterwards.

SPEAKER_02 42:39

Well, hey, that still I don't need to know what you do after you watch me.

Also, you know, we mentioned a couple weeks ago we had that guy in uh Bedford. Bedford! That we never got him back for subsequent episodes. Um we have a new guy in the UK from Southwark. Southwark. Which is uh I don't think any of these places are real. It's uh it it it's it's a neighborhood in London. Uh it's spelt Southwark. But uh I looked it up and it very much says do not pronounce it Southwark, it's Southwark. Southwark.

SPEAKER_02 43:55

Okay.

SPEAKER_03 43:56

So if a guy from Southwark is listening a second.

SPEAKER_02 43:58

Maybe he moved from Bedford to Southwark. Oh, it's like a three-mile drive. Well, people can move three miles.

SPEAKER_03 44:03

But uh I I I would like to, if he is listening a second time, I'd like to pronounce the name of his place correctly. Southwark. Please. Reach out, maybe we'll have you on the show. Yes, absolutely. Um also something that we're uh we're toying with the idea of workshopping. Is uh because we have you know received lots of cards and letters and inquiries about things. Gift baskets. Um we are toying with starting up the Society of Those Who Get It, which will give us something to do with this. We haven't quite decided what we're doing with that yet, but it will uh it'll play a part. It'll be uh a fan club type thing. Anyways, the Society of Those Who Get It.

SPEAKER_02 44:46

Those who get it.

SPEAKER_03 44:47

Uh for those who get it, you'd want to get involved, I suppose. For those who get it, you get it. That'll help, you know, pay the bills for us. Which is, you know, which is something Melissa struggles with. Yes, Melissa does struggle with that because she can't pay her bills. What do you listen to on the drive home today, youke?

SPEAKER_02 45:04

I haven't decided. I'm thinking I'm gonna hit I'm just gonna hit shuffle and kind of hope for the best. Maybe some some rock, maybe some pitch perfect. Some uh some songs from that that movie. Maybe something sad. I haven't really decided. I'm hitting shuffle and I'm hoping for the best.

SPEAKER_03 45:19

Well, as per uh as per tradition, I will be going to my tube sock spotify page. The link is in our bio. Um I'd like to actually fill our bio with so many links that it's just a link of Palooza. Just so many things to link to. But I'm going to uh I think the traffic's gonna be a little jammed up on the way home. So it wasn't good getting here. I'm hitting my playlist called Let's Have a Party, a punk rock party. And it is a bunch of hours of good time classic punk rock feel-good music going from 1972 up to the the nows. Wow. Very few of the nows. I was gonna say current music? Well, you know, kidding me? It's stuff that made the cut.

SPEAKER_02 46:00

Ah, it's like three songs.

SPEAKER_03 46:01

It's an elitist. Yeah, it's a real anyways. So check it out. Let's have a party, a punk rock party. It's a fun time. Get you going. I think it's kicks off the Forgotten Rebels, a fine band from Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. There we go. From 1977. Check it out. Terrific band. Anyways, if you got any uh anything else.
