206: Requiem For A Barfly - Old Slang, Fresh Mail, & Forced Homework

With the excitement of special guests, bonus content, and temporary deviations now firmly behind them, WWWS settles comfortably back into its natural state: a collection of recurring segments held together by momentum and habit.

This week, Say What Now? returns, once again challenging Big Uke to decipher old-timey slang with a level of confidence that remains largely disconnected from historical accuracy. Some guesses come surprisingly close. Others create entirely new meanings that historians will now have to contend with.

The WWWS Mailbag also reopens, bringing with it another round of listener correspondence, observations, and questions that occasionally reveal a concerning amount of attention being paid to the show.

Meanwhile, Tubesox delivers his review of Waiting (2005), a film that spends considerable energy convincing the audience it's outrageous, with results that may vary depending on one's tolerance for repetition, shock value, and workplace hijinks.

Not content to leave well enough alone, Big Uke assigns Tubesox a new movie, continuing the show's increasingly formalized process of turning free time into mandatory homework.

And, as always, 3 Things That Can Kick Rocks returns to close things out, where petty grievances, minor annoyances, and entirely innocent targets once again find themselves under review.

Old slang. Fresh mail. Forced cinema. Renewable irritation.

The routine is back. The patience is not.

Keep your expectations low. The show certainly has.

Transcript

SPEAKER_03 0:42

I did not defend.

SPEAKER_02 0:43

No one told us we couldn't do that.

SPEAKER_03 0:45

So I mean, I I'm not a lawyer, but I think that'll hold up in court.

SPEAKER_02 0:50

I'm not a mind reader, right? What are you supposed to know? Make some shit clear. Anyway.

SPEAKER_03 0:55

Oh my goodness. Tonight, the mailbag does return straight from the listeners and against our better judgment.

SPEAKER_02 1:02

Another installment of Say Wan No.

SPEAKER_04 1:06

I can't do it.

SPEAKER_03 1:09

Oh god, that was so good. Oh, we're running with it.

SPEAKER_02 1:13

Keep it. TubeSocks reviews the movie Waiting. And Big Youke gets a fresh movie assignment. As always, three things that absolutely kick rocks. So let's get to it. We are coming at you from the fourth floor of Blunderworks Studios in Sunadown Town. God damn it, it is a sunny one today. It well, I'm so glad it's still so sunny. Well, you know, it's sort of approaching drought conditions.

SPEAKER_03 1:36

Like it's like, whoo, we might need to not have some sun here soon. Tinder dry.

SPEAKER_02 1:41

Oh goodness. Oh my goodness. That's Big Uke. This guy's tube socks. And behind the camera is Edgar the chairman Lasseter. That guy. And playing us in and playing us out is Harold Winthrop and the Silver Ashtray Orchestra. Any new gigs for them lined up?

SPEAKER_03 1:58

No, I think they're just they never answer my emails, texts, or calls, so I can never find out about them. Have you tried faxing them? You know what? I haven't.

SPEAKER_02 2:05

And that's I still got a thermal fax machine. I think that's on me. Maybe that's why they're not getting gigs. Because that's the only way to get in touch with them is you make a damn good point.

SPEAKER_03 2:15

You make a damn good point, too, socks.

SPEAKER_02 2:17

I think their community service is all done too, so they're they're ready to rumble.

SPEAKER_03 2:22

They're ready to rumble down at the dog party.

SPEAKER_02 2:25

So how uh how was your week?

SPEAKER_03 2:27

Well Let me tell you. Tell me. I finally dried off. Because although although downtown was sunny, the uh other parts of the town where I was in, where you were in, was not so sunny. A little marshy. It was uh I think as you described it, a little uh borderline trench footy.

SPEAKER_02 2:48

Yes. We did run into each other at a uh at a football game this weekend, and we both stood out in the uh we we uh the elements for the entire game. Not like uh some people we know who were nicely tucked away in the press box. And I I did have the legitimate fear of waking up with trench foot on Sunday morning, but it was uh soggy. Feet are dry now.

SPEAKER_03 3:08

The end of the game and uh the extra time I did find myself tucked under, but it didn't matter at that point. I was a bone.

SPEAKER_02 3:17

You get to a point, and then and I thought that the old uh the old canvas chucks were holding up until they weren't, and then as soon as they're not, they're just super not they're just like a sponge, they're just pulling in water from like all around.

SPEAKER_03 3:29

You know, we were on that slope, so it was all just hitting the feet, and that's where my feet were dry, because you took it all.

SPEAKER_02 3:34

Yeah, so my shoes are soaking it all up.

SPEAKER_03 3:37

Oh, exciting uh football endeavor.

SPEAKER_02 3:40

Fun game, though, fun game.

SPEAKER_03 3:41

I made the mistake of going to the bathroom though, between the third and fourth quarter first, instead of buying another beer. So when I came out of the washroom, everything was closed. I couldn't buy a fourth quarter beer. That's why I got so cold.

SPEAKER_02 3:52

Amateur hour here. That's what I get for having a Did your uh sock clicker hold up for the rest of the game?

SPEAKER_03 3:58

Uh it didn't last the rest of the game, but it uh the bottle did hold up. Perfect. Allegedly. Just putting that out there. I can neither confirm nor deny I brought the bigger. I can say that the bottle did survive the rain. The contents, however, did not. But I enjoyed them.

SPEAKER_02 4:17

Well, yeah, so that was a fun week, and uh this is I mean, it's nice to get last weekend. I was feeling like terrible.

SPEAKER_03 4:22

You were uh under the under the weather.

SPEAKER_02 4:25

So I'm excited to get back to That was your flu game last week. Yes, it was my uh I gutted it out last week.

SPEAKER_03 4:30

Like the second greatest basketball player of all time.

SPEAKER_02 4:32

Right. I'm feeling alright, and I'm you know, this is we're now out of LTE footage. We tried to find some more, but we so we're back to doing a it actually worked out well last week because of the uh the conditions we're uh recording in.

SPEAKER_03 4:46

It did it did work out pretty good. And I mean, if you haven't watched it, do yourself a favor.

SPEAKER_02 4:51

And I know that some of you haven't for some reason, which is weird.

SPEAKER_03 4:54

Do yourself a favor, go watch it. Uh the first episode, two episodes ago, and last week's, uh, with the bonus quizzer. LTE taking the quizzer. L C E is such a gem, so go uh go watch us enjoy his presence.

SPEAKER_02 5:08

Well, you uh you got anything dumb this week apart from uh Well my dumb is that I only brought one l uh liquor in the sock.

SPEAKER_03 5:15

Sock liquor. One sock liquor, not two sock liquers. And the whole going to the bathroom, not thinking that they were gonna close out the bars. Because that was uh like rookie move, just dumb. Rookie move. I gotta be better. You know, just for myself, I gotta be better. And next time, I will be.

SPEAKER_02 5:30

You know, it's not your first rodeo, but it was the first game of the year, so you know you're out of practice.

SPEAKER_03 5:34

I was, it'd been a while. Well, I had a minute, I'm not used to a winning record. Don't know how to operate. Right, exactly.

SPEAKER_02 5:42

It's very strange.

SPEAKER_03 5:43

It's been so long. What about you, sir?

SPEAKER_02 5:45

Well, I know you do, because you always seem to Well, nothing dumb happened to me, but I overheard a dumb slash amusing brief conversation at the at the pub.

SPEAKER_03 5:56

I love eavesdropping conversations.

SPEAKER_02 5:58

Sitting at the wood. And at my pub, the wood isn't just along one side, it juts out and it's got a bulbous round. A rounded tip. So everyone sitting around it can actually kind of look across at each other. And there you can sit down the shaft and at the tip. Exactly. Uh there was uh these two dames sitting at the wood. And it's uh such an innocuous little nothing, but it made me laugh. They're right behind or uh beside me, so I couldn't help it over here. The one joins the other one, they're like, Oh, you know, good to see you the other thing. The one who just arrived says to the one that's already there, When's uh when's your hair appointment? And her friend says, It was yesterday. And then the other dame says, Oh, it looks great. Oh no! Oh no, the backpedal. Oh no, it looks great. Oh, you've already had it done.

SPEAKER_03 6:48

Oh, you paid for that?

SPEAKER_02 6:50

Oh my gosh. So I just found that amusing. And me and a couple of fellas, we all kind of looked and kind of like that that's funny.

SPEAKER_03 6:57

That is actually really bad. That shit there is funny. That's oh, that's such an awkward spot to be in, too, as the person asking the question. They were so cheery with the greeting, and then it quickly you're so determined or so 100% sure that the appointment's tomorrow. And there's no way that this was the hair they got. Oof.

SPEAKER_02 7:15

It went from cheery to awkward pretty quickly. I mean, they recovered, they didn't sewer their uh beverages by the Well, that's good because that's the start.

SPEAKER_03 7:22

If that's the start of the conversation, then that just makes the rest of it awkward.

SPEAKER_02 7:25

Oh my. Yeah, so that was that was amusing.

SPEAKER_03 7:27

That's dumb for that woman. Dumb for that woman. That's oh yeah, that's definitely uh a funny when you're kind of pissed off at each other. Hey, you remember that one time that I had my hair done? I had my hair done and you called me uh fat ugly pig? Because that's basically how you're gonna play it up. Exactly. Oh, it looks great. Oh, it looks good. Awesome. Yeah, thanks for really, really meaning that one.

SPEAKER_02 7:50

My goodness. Oh, the pub, hey?

SPEAKER_03 7:54

Never a dull moment at the pub.

SPEAKER_02 7:55

Never a dull moment at the pub. So we're back to the mailbag this week. We haven't hit there in a number of weeks.

SPEAKER_03 8:01

But we've got letters from our lovely listeners.

SPEAKER_02 8:03

We do a thank you. Allow me to read the disclaimer that our legal team, Edgar, has advised that we read. Our crack legal team, who I think was on crack when they wrote it, but the Triple WA's mailbag contains real letters from real viewers and listeners. Some names, details, and punctuation may have been altered for dramatic effect. Personal safety, length, clarity, grammar, excessive hostility, content, readability, emotional stability, and taste.

SPEAKER_03 8:30

That's it.

SPEAKER_02 8:30

So basically we can mess with your letter how we see fit, and you can't come at us.

SPEAKER_03 8:34

Pretty much. So covers our ass. So don't suck when you write a letter.

SPEAKER_02 8:38

Well, why don't you uh why don't you read one that you've got there?

SPEAKER_03 8:40

I do have one here. Dear big you can TubeTox. That's us. That's us. I wanted to congratulate you on landing Lieutenant Eric as a guest. Thank you. It's good times. There's a lot of zeros. It was a bold, creative choice to place him between two guys whose primary qualification appears to be owning microphones and a camera. I mean you don't have all those things. We do have those things. What impressed me most was how naturally he fit into the conversation and how remarkably patient he was. Okay, well.

SPEAKER_02 9:10

This is not a compliment at all.

SPEAKER_03 9:12

Not really a congratulatory message. No. The episode had all the usual Triple WS ingredients, banter, nonsense, questionable conclusions. But this time there was also someone in the room who appeared to know what he was talking about. Well, I mean we know exactly what we don't talk about shit we don't know. We're not Edgar. Right? Please pass along my thanks. Lieutenant Eric accomplished something I previously believed impossible. He made the show feel smarter without making it feel less ridiculous. Regards. Shannon from Spruce Grove. Well, you know what, Shannon? I don't much care for it. I don't much care for you. I mean, I do, thank you. But also, meh. Right. That was backhanded as hell.

SPEAKER_02 9:53

I've got Shannon from Spruce Grove. Sounds made up. Bet you like bike lanes too. Good day, what were we saying with Big Euch and Tube Sucks? Hey! That's us. Nice opening. I'm not sure whether you noticed or simply failed to appreciate the magnitude of the event, but Lieutenant Eric appeared out of thin air at the start of the guest episode. One moment, empty chair. Next moment, fully formed guest. There was a disturbing level of acceptance from both of you, as though spontaneous human materialization is now a routine part of podcast production.

SPEAKER_03 10:26

I didn't think Edgar gets here.

SPEAKER_02 10:27

Right? That chair should be surrendered to science immediately or fired directly into the sun. Aside from that, it was a fairly standard episode, despite the alarming absence of rocks being kicked or tens being topped. Look forward to the next one, Chris.

SPEAKER_03 10:43

Well, thank you, Chris. Yeah, thanks for Shannon. That's how you compliment someone by also being alarmed at the scientific magnetic.

SPEAKER_02 10:52

I'm sorry that we blew Chris's mind with the uh the magic of the guest chair.

SPEAKER_03 10:55

That's the beauty of the guest chair. Like also, we didn't move it. It does its thing. We don't know when guests are actually coming until we walk in the door and if the chair's there or not.

SPEAKER_02 11:03

Thanks, Chris. Forgot about that part of it. Now they're freaking me out. You a real one. I've always liked Chris. Seems like a good guy. He's written us before. He has? It seems better than Shannon. Well, he's not in Spruce Grove. Thank goodness. Okay, well, I got a liner as we head into our first actual uh segment.

SPEAKER_03 11:20

Well, I mean the mailbag's a segment. I suppose it is. They're our second real segment. All right. Well, technically third because what dumbs this week is his own little segment. Basically, we don't know how to categorize what we're doing. Pretty much we don't know what we're doing.

SPEAKER_02 11:34

But we're gonna keep doing it for you. Okay, this segment is brought to you by the traveling taxidermist. Whether it's a prize hunting trophy, an unfortunate chapter in a local wildlife history, or a creature whose journey ended considerably sooner than expected, our fully equipped preservation wagon will come right to your driveway. Choose from dozens of lifelike display options, including the Noble Woodland Stance, Alert and Watchful, Mid Scream, and startled by its own reflection.

SPEAKER_03 12:01

Mid scream's a good one. I've gotten a couple done that way. Nothing that I've personally killed, but the whole roadkill thing.

SPEAKER_02 12:07

Right, you just stumble upon it. What are you gonna do?

SPEAKER_03 12:12

Let's give it a nice life on my wall.

SPEAKER_02 12:13

For over 40 years, the traveling taxidermist has brought professional preservation directly to farms, acreages, campgrounds, and several locations were no longer permitted to disclose.

SPEAKER_03 12:22

Yeah, that'll happen.

SPEAKER_02 12:24

Wow, and they also note that they are not responsible for disputes regarding the animal's final facial expression. Yes.

SPEAKER_03 12:36

Thirsty today. It's all that sun. All that sun I've gotten all over the last two or three weeks. Okay. Can't wait for that to continue on.

SPEAKER_02 12:48

Okay, so what uh what is this segment called, Yuga? I tried to say it in the opening, but I couldn't. I uh I believe what you tried to say in the opening was uh Say one now! There it is. Boop. Okay, so this is uh I believe the fourth incarnation. Yes, one, the first two.

SPEAKER_03 13:04

First one I did really well though.

SPEAKER_02 13:06

The first two we did 1930 slang, and you got four out of six and point five out of six. And that 0.5 was really just uh you know, we can't technically fail you, so the third installment was a Victorian slang.

SPEAKER_03 13:21

Yeah, that was tough.

SPEAKER_02 13:22

That was two and a half out of six, though.

SPEAKER_03 13:24

With a different scoring system, yes, but I'll take it.

SPEAKER_02 13:27

So combined you're at uh seven for eighteen or thirty-nine percent.

SPEAKER_03 13:30

That's uh that's a really good power play.

SPEAKER_02 13:34

And I wasn't sure where to go for this if we should stick with Victorian again or jump around, and I decided to jump around up to You got off your feet and jumped around? Yes. 70s CB radio slash trucker slang.

SPEAKER_03 13:48

Oh god, I was so confident when you started that sentence. And then you just clicked me in the nuts with the trucker slang.

SPEAKER_02 13:55

I mean, come on, this is like almost just finished happening. It's like contemporary.

SPEAKER_03 14:02

Compared to Victorian slang. Well, yeah, it's only just finished happening 56 years ago.

SPEAKER_02 14:06

Alright. Okay. So we got six of them.

SPEAKER_03 14:10

Let me just repossession here. Get ready.

SPEAKER_02 14:13

So as usual, uh, this is for entertainment purposes only, so no wagering.

SPEAKER_03 14:18

But I've dropped a couple wagers on it.

SPEAKER_02 14:21

There we go. Okay, so you got six questions.

SPEAKER_03 14:23

If I get 100% one of these days, I'm gonna be a rich man.

SPEAKER_02 14:26

And how the scoring goes, if he gets it with no sentence, it's a full point. Gets it after the sentence, it's half a point. And if he doesn't get it after the sentence, then it's nothing.

SPEAKER_03 14:34

It's just a slap in the face.

SPEAKER_02 14:36

Honestly, I think you'll get these ones after the uh sentence. I don't see how you can't.

SPEAKER_03 14:40

Well, I'll show you.

SPEAKER_02 14:42

Here we go. Number one. Double nickel.

SPEAKER_03 14:45

Double nickel. So that's five five. Is that the speed limit at 55?

SPEAKER_02 14:49

Yes, it is. Bang! Yes, in a sentence, keep her on the double nickel and you'll stay friendly with John Law all the way to the county line. God, that's a good feeling on the start there.

SPEAKER_03 14:58

Say, there you go. Little does this guy know I used to be a trucker in the 70s.

SPEAKER_02 15:03

In the 70s. Number two. Lot lizard.

SPEAKER_03 15:07

A lot lizard. Well, that oh that's a prostitute. Yes!

SPEAKER_02 15:10

Not don't ask me how I know that one. A truck stop prostitute. Oh yeah. The sentence rolled into the truck stop at midnight and the lot lizards were already clocked in and working overtime. Then lot lizards, they'll get a guy.

SPEAKER_03 15:20

See, I told you, this is uh Okay, yeah, but don't don't pump my tires too much here, bud. It's two. There's four more, and you I knowing you, these will be words that don't even exist. Number three, plain wrapper. Plain wrapper. I wanna say, is this I wanna think it's something to do with like the decaling on a vehicle. Am I like directionally correct?

SPEAKER_02 15:43

Maybe kinda.

SPEAKER_03 15:45

I want so my initial I'm gonna go with my initial because I went with my initial in the first two. Is the di it's the difference between like a uh police car and an undercover police car.

SPEAKER_02 15:53

It's an unmarked police car. Oh fuck, you're three for three. Bang bang. Geez, I've made this too easy.

SPEAKER_03 16:04

Yeah, but but sometimes that's good for my own confidence.

SPEAKER_02 16:08

Okay. Number four, chicken coop.

SPEAKER_03 16:11

Chicken coop. See, and uh when I hear that, I'm trying to think back to the song Convoy. Because I know they mentioned that. And trying to figure out what the context of it was. Obviously, it's somewhere where people meet, or there is a large mass of people in a spot. I feel as though a lot of their slang refers to cops. Is this just like a cop shop?

SPEAKER_02 16:32

No.

SPEAKER_03 16:33

Is it jail?

SPEAKER_02 16:35

No.

SPEAKER_03 16:35

I'll give me the sentence.

SPEAKER_02 16:37

The chicken coop's open and hungry today. Better have your paperwork looking prettier than your truck. Oh, is it the way scales? Yes, it is. The way station.

SPEAKER_03 16:45

I'll take a half her on that one. Look at that. You're at three and a half. You were right about the sentence. That definitely helped there. Number five. Just take a moment to appreciate that. Yeah, let's. I've gotten almost as many points today as I did the first three times we did this. Oh, that half a point week, man. I still think about that one. That's just uh so, so difficult.

SPEAKER_02 17:05

Well, you only got two more here. Number five, choke and puke.

SPEAKER_03 17:11

Choke and puke. It could refer to something adjacent to lot lizards, but that's dirty. I don't think you'd do that. Or would you? It's a family show. I'm also thinking like choke when it comes to like an engine, and then puke being like just pouring black smoke out the stacks. Am I am I am I directionally correct with that?

SPEAKER_02 17:33

You're not directionally correct.

SPEAKER_03 17:34

You see where I'm getting that though? Choke and puke? Yeah, yeah. Just like, you know, roar it up and roll coal. Do you have a guess? I guess that's the whole point. That was a real guess. No, no, I guess I have to, that's the point of this game. Is it gotta just do something with like them going out and drinking at night? No. I'll need a sentence answer.

SPEAKER_02 17:52

I grabbed lunch at the choke and puke off exit 14. The meatloaf fought me harder than the traffic.

SPEAKER_03 17:57

Oh, so it's just like a shitty diner.

SPEAKER_02 17:58

Yes, it is.

SPEAKER_03 18:00

Choke and puke. That's actually really funny.

SPEAKER_02 18:02

And that is used in Smoky and the Bandit.

SPEAKER_03 18:04

Really? Yes. See, I haven't watched that movie in a long time.

SPEAKER_02 18:07

Where he gets the Diablo sandwich, he's uh stopping to that choking puke. Choke and puke.

SPEAKER_03 18:12

And it makes perfect sense. Perfect sense. Yes. Especially if it's like a like a shitty diner. Like there's nice diners.

SPEAKER_02 18:18

Yeah, but this is also the definition is cheap roadside diner.

SPEAKER_03 18:21

Cheap roadside diner. So what are you at now? You're at like well that was another half or so it's four out of six. Four out of six. And I've gotten through five. No.

SPEAKER_02 18:28

Yeah? Yeah. Here we are. Here's the here's the finale. Listen to that question. The finale of this week's episode of Say what not alligator.

SPEAKER_03 18:40

Oh my god. That's just so just alligator, huh? Could you imagine if you were just mean to me and like it just meant the animal? Yeah, it's just it's always just a alligator. It's just an alligator. It's a crocodile's cousin.

SPEAKER_02 18:56

C B C B radio slash trucker slate.

SPEAKER_03 18:59

It feels like C B radios aren't always just truckers though. Like it might like We had one in our vehicle as well.

SPEAKER_02 19:07

You just had a C B. Yeah, sure. In the 70s.

SPEAKER_03 19:10

I mean you probably did.

SPEAKER_02 19:11

Yeah, absolutely. I I tell you no lies. I tell you no lies, mister. I even had a little a little thing that was like a CB slang decoder, and you could like it was like paper pamphlet, but there was a slider, so you'd you know showing the little window on it?

SPEAKER_03 19:26

Oh, that's pretty good. Yeah. Wait, what did they say?

SPEAKER_02 19:28

10 years old when I had that matching codes.

SPEAKER_03 19:30

Oh yeah. So you're a code burger, basically.

SPEAKER_02 19:32

Yeah. Uh alligator.

SPEAKER_03 19:33

Alligator. Alright, we're playing the game.

SPEAKER_02 19:35

Yes.

SPEAKER_03 19:36

Alligator.

SPEAKER_02 19:37

This isn't about my 10-year-old CB radio stories.

SPEAKER_03 19:40

Sorry, sorry, sorry. Is an alligator a tow truck?

SPEAKER_02 19:46

No.

SPEAKER_03 19:49

Well, that was my official guess. I'm gonna need a sentence, sir. You see where I got uh tow truck though? Like am I far am I far off? Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 20:00

Oh god, that's Well, okay, here we go. Sentence. Watch your lane westbound, there's a fresh alligator stretched across the hammer lane like he's sunbathing.

SPEAKER_03 20:08

Oh, so it's roadkill. But no, it's a spike belt from the cops.

SPEAKER_02 20:13

Nope.

SPEAKER_03 20:13

Oh, dang it. Speed bump? Okay, well, now I'm not gonna get the points from this.

SPEAKER_02 20:18

Right. So it's uh Okay, give me the sentence one more time. Watch your lane westbound, there's a fresh alligator stretched across the hammer lane like he's sunbathing. Um is it a speed trap? Nope.

SPEAKER_03 20:29

Is it anything cop related? No. Is it animal related? No. I'm gonna get there, but I'm not gonna get the point for it. So it's not cop related, it's not animal related. Is it like fresh tar on the road? No.

SPEAKER_02 20:41

Is it and first of all, the the hammer lane is the passing lane. Because where you put the hammer down.

SPEAKER_03 20:46

Oh see, that makes a lot of sense. You should have used that. I would have never gotten it. Is it road works related? Nope. So it's trucker related. Yep. But it's not cop, right, animal or road works. Correct. I don't know if I'm gonna get there.

SPEAKER_02 21:04

A shredded tire laying on the highway.

SPEAKER_03 21:06

Oh wow. Yeah, that's it. Right?

SPEAKER_02 21:11

It's all tread. It's all treaded.

SPEAKER_03 21:13

Looks like a gator back? Oh man. We so it's funny that that's the last one. And so what did I end up getting? I got five out of six? Four out of six? Four out of six. Yeah, four out of six. Because that was at four to five. Okay. I'll take that. 66%.

SPEAKER_02 21:32

That was uh that's pretty good, though, alligator.

SPEAKER_03 21:35

That's a good one. That's tough.

SPEAKER_02 21:36

And it's a saver for the end so you could, you know, build your momentum.

SPEAKER_03 21:39

Well, and it worked out good that we could have that little moment. It's just funny that you mentioned that that it's a blown tire on the side of the the road, uh the interstate highway, whatever. A few years back, me and a bunch of friends were we were in Tennessee. We were in Tennessee, went to Nashville, we were driving to Knoxville, and we were on the interstate, and everything. I call them alligators. See, I will call them alligators now. When we do it, we were calling them uh see now. The story would be a lot better if I could remember what we called them. And it's just funny that a lot of stories are that way. The timing of this is great because it was four years ago this week, these next four days that it happened. So the tie that's dodging gators on the interstate. Dodging gators on the interstate, but we called them we called them American porcupines, I think. See, if any of the people who are on that trip are watching, I hope they correct me. Please call in. Lines are open. But no, it we did have we had a we called them something animal related though. Okay, because there's like a look like a black thing on the side of the road. So it was, yeah, it was like North American road beavers or something. Huh. But alligator. And it makes sense when the tire is blown and that you know jeep and shrapnel and tread. Shrapnel. Don't want to drive over those. Well, gosh, no. You don't want to create an alligator on your own vehicle. Exactly. That was good. That was I thought that was uh that was a fun way to go. It uh and it wasn't like the second one that it was started easy and then just got like super hard. They got gradually harder.

SPEAKER_02 23:08

You did very well. You got uh a couple that I didn't think you'd get, or like which one didn't you think? Well, you I didn't think you get lot, I thought you'd get lot lizard, but I didn't think you'd get it right away. That just says a lot about you as a person. Okay, simmer down. I want to I watch a lot of cop shows. Alright. And most of those, the first half I knew the sentence would it would give it away.

SPEAKER_03 23:24

What was the set? So what was the sentence for the first one, which was 55? Oh, that was the nickel.

SPEAKER_02 23:27

Yeah. Keep her on the double nickel and you'll stay friendly with John Law all the way to the county line.

SPEAKER_03 23:32

See, I would like to think I would have gotten that with that sentence.

SPEAKER_02 23:35

Oh, for sure, but you didn't need the sentence. I didn't need it because I was the sentence. You didn't need a sentence for the first three? I was so smart. What was the third one? Uh plain wrapper.

SPEAKER_03 23:42

Plane wrapper, yeah. My initial thought was.

SPEAKER_02 23:45

Last three you did, but I got it on the I got two of them. Yeah. There you go.

SPEAKER_03 23:51

All right, well I feel as though that was a very successful uh version of See what does that mean?

SPEAKER_02 23:57

Where where do we go next? I don't know. Hard to see.

SPEAKER_03 24:00

I'm coming down from this hive of getting all these questions correct. Oh my goodness. Alright. We got an exciting little segment coming up. Oh boy, yes. I am I am over the moon excited for this. So if you weren't around last week, that's it's a problem, you should go, you should change that going forward. In the how was the movie segment last week? It was me assigning TubeSocks over here a movie to watch. And the movie I chose was waiting. A 2005 classic.

SPEAKER_02 24:32

2005. And if you know playing fast and loose with that term.

SPEAKER_03 24:36

If you know, you know, and I think most of you know that this movie is an all-timer. And uh we're gonna uh we're gonna dive in now to Tutocks uh what we what are we gonna call it? Review is pretty basic, but deep dive into the inner workings of the movie that was waiting.

SPEAKER_02 24:56

Okay, well, when you first assigned me this movie and I brought it up on on screen, I saw that it you know takes place in a restaurant and I thought, hey, I worked that gig. Oh, maybe I could relate to some of this, maybe it'll be entertaining.

SPEAKER_03 25:10

I had a feeling you didn't relate to much.

SPEAKER_02 25:12

My first few notes Phew. Uh the movie seems convinced that it's hilarious.

SPEAKER_04 25:20

Because it is.

SPEAKER_02 25:21

That's almost the biggest issue. Comedies can survive being stupid, but waiting, the confidence exceeds the material. And the comedy is aggressively 2005.

SPEAKER_03 25:31

Oh yeah. If you didn't didn't know what year that movie was made, you could probably get a good guess about 10 minutes in that it was 2005.

SPEAKER_02 25:40

So I'll go over a little I I got some character notes because you know I like to do character notes. Oh, I know. And then I'll get to my other little little notes of the code.

SPEAKER_03 25:45

Oh my goodness, I'm so excited for this. I'm just gonna put these down and join my beard.

SPEAKER_02 25:49

Okay, so characters. Uh-huh. Monty. Smarmian insufferable. It felt like he spent the entire movie working overtime to maintain a bit that wasn't nearly funny enough to justify his efforts. He really hated his job. I've only seen those Ryan Reynolds. I've only seen him in Tim Hortons ads. Really? Yes. Well my goodness. So is he always like this?

SPEAKER_03 26:08

No.

SPEAKER_02 26:09

Okay, because well. Because he doesn't in the Tim Hortons ads, he's not like that. But I've never seen him in a movie.

SPEAKER_03 26:15

Because you've never seen you don't watch Marvel movies. No, I've never seen it. So he's Deadpool. But like Deadpool is notoriously that like snarky, backheaded com comedy, vulgar superhero.

SPEAKER_02 26:26

Okay.

SPEAKER_03 26:27

Uh there's definitely been other movies, like he's sometimes played the like the dramatic love interest, and like he's played other roles. He's not just uh uh asshole comedy kind of guy.

SPEAKER_02 26:37

I just found that he was true. He's been the he was leaning into a bit that really ran its course.

SPEAKER_03 26:41

No, he's definitely not like that in every single one of his movies.

SPEAKER_02 26:45

I mean, I'll never see another movie with a minute, so I'm Well, don't say that. Uh Dean. Dean. Dean spends the entire movie acting like he's above restaurant life, but he's not interesting enough to make you root for his escape. He was just dull as dishwater.

SPEAKER_03 26:59

Yeah, and kind of pathetic. What's his name? Oh, what's the actor's name?

SPEAKER_02 27:03

I recognized him, but I can't say what movie I've seen him in because that's not really my genre. Anyways, he was just knowing what else he was in.

SPEAKER_03 27:11

But like he's been in some good movies. But he's always he's kind of that like nerbi nerdy dweeb who's just like there.

SPEAKER_02 27:16

He's just thinks he's better. Serena? The only notes I have is Seems Pleasant Enough. Which one was she? I don't know, the blonde chick that was I was I don't know, one of their girlfriends.

SPEAKER_03 27:25

Okay, yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_02 27:26

I don't know. The characters were so unmemorable.

SPEAKER_03 27:28

Yeah, she was uh what's her name now? Man, I'm bad at Naomi.

SPEAKER_02 27:31

She didn't stand out for being interesting.

SPEAKER_03 27:34

She was the one who like didn't love what they were doing, but just kind of went along with it.

SPEAKER_02 27:37

In an uninteresting way.

SPEAKER_03 27:38

She was one who was with Monty-ish.

SPEAKER_02 27:40

Okay.

SPEAKER_03 27:41

I think.

SPEAKER_02 27:42

Uh Naomi? The dark-haired one.

SPEAKER_03 27:45

Yeah, the the the the real savage one.

SPEAKER_02 27:47

I my notes say she seemed convinced that louder automatically meant funnier. It didn't.

SPEAKER_03 27:52

Need the one who needs a razor. A razor.

SPEAKER_02 27:56

And uh Calvin. His peeing issue stopped being funny long before the movie stopped bringing it up. Like it just like honestly, I was sitting there watching this movie.

SPEAKER_03 28:04

And uh do go back to that peeing well a lot.

SPEAKER_02 28:07

I wasn't so much watching waiting as I was waiting for 10. I was waiting. I was actively participating in waiting.

SPEAKER_03 28:14

I think that's the kind of the whole point.

SPEAKER_02 28:16

I found it a difficult watch. Like I found myself like checking my watch, and like the movie felt like it was three hours, but I know it wasn't. It was like an hour and 20 minutes. The game gets built up, built up like a comic masterpiece, and when it finally arrives, it's kind of a oh, that's it. Like Yeah, but I mean you don't want to lose that. There were there, I do have my notes that there was a scene with some ska music. I did detect some ska music.

SPEAKER_03 28:42

See, there we go.

SPEAKER_02 28:44

You have no more notes on the game? Uh no, just that it was kind of underwhelming.

SPEAKER_03 28:48

But like the goat's impressive. I guess.

SPEAKER_02 28:50

I don't know, I'm not 12. Well, yeah, but I just it was it was a tough watch. Uh what else do I have?

SPEAKER_03 29:00

This isn't going exactly how I expected it to go.

SPEAKER_02 29:02

Nothing in waiting is particularly outrageous, it's just exhausting. The movie spends 90 minutes elbowing you in the ribs, convincing you, convinced you'll eventually laugh out of surrender, like a guy at the bar who keeps insisting, no wait, this gets crazier long after you stop listening to him.

SPEAKER_03 29:18

There was some outrageous parts. I guess maybe they weren't. When those bitches at the table sent their food back, that was outrageous. Everything they did to them.

SPEAKER_02 29:28

But the Did they deserve it?

SPEAKER_03 29:30

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 29:30

But the lady at the table, she was obnoxious, but she wasn't funny. No, no, she wasn't comical. She wasn't supposed to be funny and then the thing I just found it kind of off-putting. It's just kind of like gravy. It's like, okay. Parsley pubes. Again, if I was in grade seven, maybe that'd be funny, but well, I'm well past grade seven, so in 2005, I was a lot closer to grade seven than you were. And also, what's another note I have here? Oh, the movie doesn't care, it seems to care enough to make you care about the movie. Like it was just seriously dull. I mean, and I was like struggling.

SPEAKER_03 30:01

I did say it's a good. And how did I describe that movie? I said it's a good two in the morning, hammered, want to watch something, or violently hung over on a Sunday, need something in the background.

SPEAKER_02 30:13

That applies to none of my situ. I would never go to that movie.

SPEAKER_03 30:16

I think it I think I think at two in the morning, if you were if you were uh feeling goose loosey-goosey, I think you would enjoy that film.

SPEAKER_02 30:24

I don't think I would. What's another note I got here? The characters drift around until the movie remembers it has to actually end.

SPEAKER_03 30:30

The ending is kind of weird. It's kind of funny though, I think.

SPEAKER_02 30:33

But I just yeah, it was uh boy, I did not enjoy it at all.

SPEAKER_03 30:39

And it was I thought you I thought you were going to react almost exactly like this. I thought maybe there would have been a little bit of ha ha ha.

SPEAKER_02 30:47

Like I don't even think I chuckled.

SPEAKER_03 30:49

Oh, see, now that's a little disappointing. I thought there would have been at least a couple things in that film.

SPEAKER_02 30:55

Like I just kind of watched, observed, and went, hmm.

SPEAKER_03 30:58

This is over yet.

SPEAKER_02 31:00

Okay. I'm a older gentleman that just doesn't enjoy this kind of movie. It's just, again, I would have thought it was funny when I was a teenager, I guess, but I am fairly far removed from being a teenager. Spoiler alert, fairly. And uh yeah, no, it was and I honestly was thinking, did you like was you like pranking me with this movie? Or does he like this movie and thinks that I will like it? And honestly, I honestly didn't know which way it was going. Well and so like, well, I don't insult him by saying, what the fuck? But what the fuck? What the fuck? That was a bad movie.

SPEAKER_03 31:35

I mean, it was definitely a little bit of well, I'm gonna give him one that I know he's probably not gonna enjoy all that much. But I did, I I can honestly say I thought there would have been at least a little bit of you know, it had its moments. Like, would I ever watch it again? God know. But I didn't like I wasn't dreading my time like the way you've described it.

SPEAKER_02 31:57

If I if I could have walked out on that movie, I would have. But I had to finish watching it for my art that could have also for our show.

SPEAKER_03 32:05

That could have also been an incredible way to do the segment. Yeah, so the first 12 minutes were awful, and uh and then I left. And then I left, so I don't know how it turned out. So I don't know how it actually ended because it was stupid to start, and I'm confident it was stupid to end.

SPEAKER_02 32:18

And the whole Naomi thing is just it was everything just seemed trying so hard to wow, look at this. Ah, isn't this crazy? This is outrageous, it was wild! It's like that's just it's just uh well, I mean it was now neither clever nor funny. And there was no shock, but maybe it's hard to maybe it's hard to shock an old timer like me.

SPEAKER_03 32:39

Well, maybe well just because you've been in the industry, you've seen it all done at all. You've goaded someone.

SPEAKER_02 32:45

Uh no, we never uh touched our genitalia.

SPEAKER_03 32:48

Oh, so you were a oh, you weren't that kind of restaurant.

SPEAKER_02 32:51

No.

SPEAKER_03 32:52

Oh. Hmm. Yeah, then maybe you wouldn't have you wouldn't have to.

SPEAKER_02 32:56

And then just uh yeah, just it was just and then there was the whole creepy angle with uh like the jailbait thing, yeah. The manager and the uh the hostess? The whole I mean Yeah, that was weird. I will admit that was weird. She seemed pleasant enough, she's like the most pleasant person in the film. But she's the most innocent. But the the whole She had been there long enough to be painted. It was just creepy, the whole angle with the manager hitting on her and her not saying, Pound sand, you're creepy. Fair. And that's Ryan Reynolds' character also doing the same thing with her is like just stop.

SPEAKER_03 33:28

It's making me it was making me uncomfortable. The manager though was kind of known for that uh kind of off-putting, weird. You probably haven't you obviously haven't seen Anchorman. I have. You have.

SPEAKER_02 33:38

Yes. Yes, he is an Anchorman. He's uh the sports guy. I am I did enjoy that movie.

SPEAKER_03 33:44

Right? Oh my see, that's good to know because I gotta scratch it off my list because it was on my list. I think. Have you seen Anchorman 2?

SPEAKER_02 33:51

No. Hell it didn't uh make me want to see a sequel, but the sequel did come out like I mean I saw it when it came out.

SPEAKER_03 33:58

The sequel did come out like twelve years later.

SPEAKER_02 34:00

Yeah, but no, I did see that, and I recognize him from that. But I did that whole smart Justin Long.

SPEAKER_03 34:06

That's the that's the second guy you were your character notes. Okay. The dark like the sh dark haired sneepy guy. Yeah, Justin Long.

SPEAKER_02 34:14

The guy who, yeah. Oh, he deserves better than the restaurant, but he's not displaying any reason why he shouldn't deserve better. Deserve better.

SPEAKER_03 34:22

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 34:22

Scale of one to ten. One?

SPEAKER_03 34:24

I I I watched it. True. So have you have you was that would you say that this is the worst film you've ever watched? Oh gosh, no. Okay, well that makes me that makes me feel a little better. Oh no, I've got it. But it wasn't like awful.

SPEAKER_02 34:37

I saw Howard the Duck in the theaters when it came out.

SPEAKER_03 34:44

So you have watched a superhero movie.

SPEAKER_02 34:46

Well, it was in the 80s.

SPEAKER_03 34:47

There's a Marvel superhero movie.

SPEAKER_02 34:48

There was no CGI.

SPEAKER_03 34:49

No, but that Duck's actually in other Marvel movies. Howard the Duck?

SPEAKER_02 34:53

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 34:53

Yeah, he's in other things. Oh, okay.

SPEAKER_02 34:56

So not the worst movie I've ever seen. And see, I don't watch the Marvel movie because I don't like CGI. I I tried to watch actually a couple years ago.

SPEAKER_03 35:02

Yeah, but the CGI is like incredible.

SPEAKER_02 35:04

When the kids were younger and they were watched one movie, they were watching a movie. What the hell was it? I don't know, like anything America events. It had a but there was so much shit going on, explosions, and it just it looked like a video game and it just was really off-putting.

SPEAKER_03 35:20

What kind of is a video game?

SPEAKER_02 35:21

I just saw it watched about five minutes of it and went, wow, this is I'm gonna go.

SPEAKER_03 35:24

So I shouldn't give you infinity war.

SPEAKER_02 35:25

I just like hate that kind of stuff so much.

SPEAKER_03 35:28

Gotta scratch a few things off my list.

SPEAKER_02 35:30

Like I just despise the amount like the whole thing, it's like sensory overload, and I just don't that's not how I enjoy myself.

SPEAKER_03 35:37

Well, that's the true in you know the era of your movies. They could barely afford the real they were filming it on, so there was no no need for exactly extra nonsense.

SPEAKER_02 35:48

I much prefer practical effects over special effects as well. Not that special. Well special effects are all right, it's just CGIs makes me mad.

SPEAKER_03 35:59

Huh. The more you know. You guys have learned something today too. I think is that all we have to say about that movie? Was that all you have to say about that movie?

SPEAKER_02 36:07

It is all I have to say about it. I I think I I don't need to labor the point.

SPEAKER_03 36:10

Well, I think you have said uh you've said plenty about that movie.

SPEAKER_02 36:13

I do have a movie to assign this man, which is very different from the waiting. It's not the waiting, is it?

SPEAKER_03 36:18

It's just waiting. It's just no the waiting, I think, is a different type of movie. All right. I'm pretty sure there is a movie called The Waiting. See, I'm a little worried now.

SPEAKER_02 36:25

Uh, this movie I'm assigning you does have a the in the title.

SPEAKER_03 36:28

Did you change your movie selection for me before or after?

SPEAKER_02 36:32

Nope. This is I've I've been dialed into this for two weeks.

SPEAKER_03 36:35

Well, that makes me feel a little bit better than that.

SPEAKER_02 36:37

And also I know this movie's leaving Prime in like nine days. Oh, so I gotta. So I was like, and it's funny because I I watched the show.

SPEAKER_03 36:42

The last two I think I've had to pay for.

SPEAKER_02 36:44

I watched it again the other day, and it's I was like, oh it's leaving soon. It's like, oh damn. Okay, well if it I couldn't do the math onto when you'd watch it and if it would but then my second choice is also leaving on the same day. It's like, damn it! So anyway.

SPEAKER_03 36:58

And I can't double feature. I'm not doing that.

SPEAKER_02 37:00

No. So the movie I'm assigning you is on Prime. Okay. The Killing, 1956. The Killing, 1956. Starring Sterling Hayden, Vince Edwards, and Marie Windsor, who's a bit of a oolala.

SPEAKER_03 37:14

I do like that all of your movies have a bit of an oolala character.

SPEAKER_02 37:17

Well, they got the little femme fatale. Uh directed by Stanley Kubrick. Ooh, I know that name. He of uh Space Odyssey and uh Clark Rook Orange and other things.

SPEAKER_03 37:26

There's a new Odyssey coming out.

SPEAKER_02 37:28

No.

SPEAKER_03 37:28

It's not Space Odyssey, it's just called The Odyssey.

SPEAKER_02 37:32

Probably won't watch it.

SPEAKER_03 37:33

I think you would enjoy that film.

SPEAKER_02 37:34

He directed two film noirs. This is uh his second one.

SPEAKER_03 37:37

So this is what he would like.

SPEAKER_02 37:38

He was young. He was 27 years old when he made this film.

SPEAKER_03 37:42

Must be weird to be successful at 27 years.

SPEAKER_02 37:44

And uh it's uh 96% of Rotten Tomatoes.

SPEAKER_03 37:47

Do you remember what my movie I give you had on Rotten Tomatoes?

SPEAKER_02 37:50

29. Uh-huh. The big two nine. And I that seems generous. But I guess that's an aggregate, so that means there's a lot of fives in there. But then who's given up the 40s that balance that out? I mean. So do you want to hear a little? So here's a little.

SPEAKER_03 38:04

Yeah, give me give me some info.

SPEAKER_02 38:05

Okay, so it is a caper. Ooh, I like a caper. A heist movie. A much better heist than uh than the first one. That stupid heist movie. It wasn't stupid. But this one's a good, fully realized one. Fresh out of prison, career criminal Johnny Clay assembles a carefully chosen crew to pull off an ambitious racetrack robbery. But as this seemingly foolproof plan unfolds, greed, betrayal, and bad luck threaten to bring the whole operation crashing down.

SPEAKER_03 38:31

A racetrack robbery, huh?

SPEAKER_02 38:32

And and Sterling Hayden is one of my favorite. He's in a lot of film noirs. He had did a lot of films in the 40s.

SPEAKER_03 38:37

So this is black and white.

SPEAKER_02 38:39

Yes, that's right. Although there are color film noirs. Because the film noir is more of a story and style. Sure. Not necessarily black and white, but yes.

SPEAKER_03 38:46

Well, I think you gave me a 50s movie that had color, did you not?

SPEAKER_02 38:48

Yes. Well, yeah, and not all black and white movies are film noirs either.

SPEAKER_03 38:52

Well, I guess if it's a style.

SPEAKER_02 38:54

Yeah, it's more of a style of show.

SPEAKER_03 38:55

Of the whole like it's everyone's also neo noirs, like everyone's going to lose at the end of the day.

SPEAKER_02 39:00

There's there's that fatalistic thing. Uh a few descriptions of said movie. Razor sharp film noir caper with fractured storytelling and a fatalistic streak.

SPEAKER_03 39:10

Fatalistic.

SPEAKER_02 39:12

A hard-boiled tale of greed and bad timing. So I have to eat I have to watch it while eating hard-boiled eggs? Right. Is that what that means? And a uh a tightly wound noir heist classic.

SPEAKER_03 39:22

That's uh intriguing.

SPEAKER_02 39:24

So there you go. And you will find Murray Windsor to be uh lovely.

SPEAKER_03 39:28

Will I? Is she actually in it? Like, does she play uh reoccurring characters?

SPEAKER_02 39:33

Oh yeah, she's in it like for a good chunk of it.

SPEAKER_03 39:34

Because I know I think it was in Gloria Graham was the first movie.

SPEAKER_02 39:37

Just that little bit, that one scene basically.

SPEAKER_03 39:39

She was in like the one scene for like three minutes, and then she wasn't in it for a minute.

SPEAKER_02 39:44

No, Murray Windsor is a is a key part of the movie. And Vince Edwards, actually, there's another Vince Edwards movie I have to assign you because it's really awesome.

SPEAKER_03 39:51

This this show might eventually just become us giving each other movies back and forth. Right. There we go. Talking about it for an hour.

SPEAKER_02 39:57

But yeah, Sterling Hayden. He's a good uh he almost looks like uh Ryan Reynolds. Not at all. Ah who's the guy in uh Odds Against Tomorrow? Ryan uh you're you're you're you're really asking me this? I forgot his name. Anyways, there's some records.

SPEAKER_03 40:12

Get Edgar to check the cards.

SPEAKER_02 40:14

Okay, well, anyways, so the killing. The killing 1956. But I really like to see this movie. It's a very cool movie. I'll find this movie, and it'll it'll be a nice counter to the Odds Against Tomorrow meh. Right, because they are this is an actual caper.

SPEAKER_03 40:26

They are both capers of Film Noir.

SPEAKER_02 40:28

From the same era.

SPEAKER_03 40:29

Okay, yeah. That first one was just like I think you and me, if we spent eight minutes and a couple beers, we couldn't have to play.

SPEAKER_02 40:34

We could have planned a better caper. This one has a lot more layers. This was like what you might think of a classic heist movie. Okay. There's a lot of layers. Also, it has narration.

SPEAKER_04 40:41

Ooh.

SPEAKER_02 40:42

And it shows it's a cool thing because it shows the same scene, but at different times from different characters' perspective. I do love that type of you know, like it'll show like so and so, blah blah blah, does this, and then you'll see another. Then it shows a different guy arriving at scene, but it's early, you know, in his day. Yeah. So it's it's it's cool.

SPEAKER_03 40:58

I do like that type of so this is all happening. It gives you that whole, well, it's only been an hour and a half.

SPEAKER_02 41:04

It stitches different everything that's yeah.

SPEAKER_03 41:05

This is how it all worked out.

SPEAKER_02 41:07

There we go.

SPEAKER_03 41:07

Okay, cool.

SPEAKER_02 41:08

The killing. The killing. 1956.

SPEAKER_03 41:11

Stay tuned next week for my breakdown.

SPEAKER_02 41:13

27-year-old Stanley Kubrick. How do you not? Oh my. It's Kubrick. Shall we get to uh the next letter? We shall next batch of letters. We shall. Okay, have a letter.

SPEAKER_03 41:24

Deer, Big Yuke, and Two Sox. That's us. I am the Deezer listener. Oh my goodness. If you didn't watch last episode, I'll give you a quick backstory. Basically, for the last, I don't know, half dozen dozen episodes, I've been calling for someone to watch on Deezer because it's a platform we're on and no one had heard of it, but we're talking about it, so I wanted a listener. And by golly, we got some.

SPEAKER_02 41:49

We checked our stats and they're popped up. Listen to on Deezer.

SPEAKER_03 41:53

So last week I gave a shout-out. And guess what came into the inbox? The Deezer listener! I'd never even heard of Deezer, but I signed up to support the show. I had no idea my existence would bring you so much joy, but I'm glad it did. Oozing joy. I was oozing. And joyfully. Ouch. Ooh, hey Edgar just cut that post. Since I usually catch the live premiere, as you all should, and often listen and otherwise listen on Apple Podcasts, which you all should, I wasn't planning on keeping Deezer. In fact, I had already deleted the app. And that's fair. But after hearing the celebration tonight, I re-downloaded it and will continue downloading episodes I've already heard. I can't be reasonable for crushing this kind of happiness. Cheers, Andrea from Calgary.

SPEAKER_02 42:45

Yes! Andrea from Calgary, you're uh you're a saint. You're a gallery and you get the assignment.

SPEAKER_03 42:52

Gentlewoman. Thank you very much. Oh my god. Now we're not we're just gonna have to keep updating the deezer numbers. Right? I'm so excited.

SPEAKER_02 43:02

Alright, well let's see if I've got something so positive. Ah, I struggle to believe you might. Gentlemen. Uh-oh. Sounds very serious. I've been enjoying season two so far. The show genuinely seems to be getting better. The conversations feel smoother, the segments are tighter, and the overall production seems more professional. This naturally leads to my question: when do you expect the show to become good? Oh, what that letter started so nice. Oh, and here goes. Don't get me wrong. Well, no, I won't get that wrong. Uh, thanks. You've made tremendous progress. It's just that listening to Triple WS is a bit like watching someone renovate an old cabin. Every few weeks another wall gets painted, another window gets replaced, and the place looks noticeably better, yet somehow there's still a raccoon living in the attic.

SPEAKER_03 43:52

Yeah, well, we don't talk about Jeremy, okay?

SPEAKER_02 43:55

Right? Keep up the good work. At your current rate of improvement, I expect excellence sometime or Around season eleven. Your patient supporter, Doug.

SPEAKER_03 44:03

Doug?

SPEAKER_02 44:04

I don't know how to take Doug.

SPEAKER_03 44:06

Your patient supporter, Doug. Not that patient, Doug. I mean, if you're gonna stick around till season eleven, like sure, that'd be great. Oh, poor still around by season eleven. My goodness. But really, Doug? When is it gonna get good?

SPEAKER_02 44:22

This is rude. Your show's getting better, but when will it be good? Oh I don't even know. We're building towards it, Doug. Dougie?

SPEAKER_03 44:30

Doug, Dug, Dougie, Doug, Doug. You know what movie that's from?

SPEAKER_02 44:33

Nope.

SPEAKER_03 44:34

Oh my gosh.

SPEAKER_02 44:36

Does it Star Murray Windsor?

SPEAKER_03 44:39

No. It's the hangover. Oh. I saw that. Doug, Dougie, Doug, Doug. But it. What do tigers dream of when they take a little tiger snooze? I got nothing. Do they dream of Mauling Zebras or Halle Berry in her catwoman suit? She's the worst thing. I'm gonna get you a batch of Tassin and your cozy tiger bed. And then we're gonna find our best friend Doug, and then we're gonna give him a best friend hug. Dug Dug. Doug, Dug Duggy Dug Doug. But if he's been around, what the hell's happening? Crystal meth tweakers. Well, then we're shitting a luck.

SPEAKER_02 45:17

I uh I did see that movie. I don't know how old it is. The Catwoman?

SPEAKER_03 45:21

Or The Hangover.

SPEAKER_02 45:22

Hangover. But I don't really didn't retain any of it.

SPEAKER_03 45:26

Well, it was after they had st they had stolen Mike Tyson's tiger and they woke up with him in the hotel room. Okay. And then Alan was play not Alan. Uh the dentist was playing.

SPEAKER_02 45:36

I don't remember any of the character names that they're inconsequential.

SPEAKER_03 45:38

He was playing well, it's Doug. Doug's the Doug's the missing friend. Oh, okay. Alan's the the Zach Alfinakis. I can't remember the other two. But he was playing the piano, singing that song.

SPEAKER_02 45:49

It's just not my kind of movie, yeah.

SPEAKER_03 45:51

So you're welcome.

SPEAKER_02 45:52

Alright. Well, you got a liner to read for our next segment here as we get to the uh back nine of our show. Sponsored. Not a sports show, even though I just dropped a sports record.

SPEAKER_02 46:52

Well job. I well jobbed that the first time through. Okay, this brings us to three things I can kick rocks. Oh my ability to read words.

SPEAKER_03 47:01

I feel like Bryce not understanding words.

SPEAKER_02 47:04

Oh my. So the first thing I have, I've had something similar to this. AI slop cartoons of people meeting in heaven with friends. You know, like a musician dies and they got the group of similar musicians and they're like, hey, welcome, buddy. Yeah. Or it's just so bad.

SPEAKER_03 47:22

Yeah, because I think your first one was just like the younger person and an older person.

SPEAKER_02 47:26

The before and after they're walking together and Armin selfieing and stupid crap like that. But this anytime someone dies, sure enough in my feed, there's oh, there's so-and-so joining other stop.

SPEAKER_03 47:39

I can't disagree with you.

SPEAKER_02 47:40

There's the whole sentiment of that's just bullshit, too. I can't disagree with you about that. It's just AI slop. God. You her? And the next thing I have, number two, the band Arkells. Third and one from the gun, baby. God. I just uh that's reckless. Um and you know, honestly, they're not really on my radar at all. But I was in a store one day shopping. I use the uh, you know what's that app when you press in it and you find the music. Spotify? No, Shazam. Ah and it's funny because if you look through my Shazam things, it's all stuff that I really dislike.

SPEAKER_03 48:17

It's all R Kels.

SPEAKER_02 48:18

Because I use it not as a, ooh, what is this? I like it. It's more of a Ooh, I don't like that. What the hell is this? Oh, okay. Well now I know to avoid that. And then more often than not, it comes up R Kels when I'm out somewhere. And like they're just garbage, they're so bad. Well, considering I thought they were the Reclaws, I don't know if I can have an opinion on them. There we go. It's for just another Canadian band that I don't know, some people seem to like, but they're just terrible. I know that because they pop up in my How are the R Kels and the Reclaws not the same thing? It's just I know so many letters that are the same. Oh my. And the third thing. Oh boy, QR codes.

SPEAKER_03 48:53

Okay, they have a place.

SPEAKER_02 48:54

And it's not, it's not QR code menus issue. This is aesthetically, I find them displeasing to look at.

SPEAKER_03 49:01

Oh.

SPEAKER_02 49:01

They're ugly, and I mean, at least barcodes are subtle and I've adapted and I've accepted barcodes over the years.

SPEAKER_03 49:08

I've accepted barcodes.

SPEAKER_02 49:09

But QR codes, they're everywhere. They're just like they're just visual noise, and they're ugly, and it's like a stupid stuck a crossword puzzle on the side. Every sign, every awning, every flyer, everything, they're just you can't avoid them. No, it's a QR code that's aesthetically displeasing. It's the visual. I find them ugly and I'm tired of looking at them, but sadly, I see them more and more places. They're not going anywhere. Even at work, our stupid invoices now that print up, they've got a freaking QR code in the top, and it looks like a big clunky, dumb crosswind puzzle in the corner. You're right. And I I hate it.

SPEAKER_03 49:43

That's uh those are fair three kick rocks, and I can't really debate you on any of them.

SPEAKER_02 49:48

There we go. Yeah, I wasn't going like an old man about uh QR code menus, and I don't want to well. No, just they're ugly.

SPEAKER_03 49:57

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 49:57

They're aesthetically unpleasant.

SPEAKER_03 50:00

I've been called that before. Anyways, let's wrap this up.

SPEAKER_02 50:03

SPEAKER_03 50:23

SPEAKER_02 50:43

SPEAKER_03 50:52

I'm glad you didn't get uh pneumonia from the sun on the weekend.

SPEAKER_02 50:56

Yeah, right? All that sun in my trench foot. Oh my goodness. Uh drop us a line, please. Yeah, scan the QR code and send us an email. There will never be a QR code on the show. Uh but you can get hold of us at the end. But there is a regular email address.tubsocks at gmail.com.

SPEAKER_03 51:16

Do it. Write us a letter. We'll maybe read it on the show after we may or may not edit it for all the reasons our legal crack team displayed earlier.

SPEAKER_02 51:23

Yes.

SPEAKER_03 51:24

What do you listen to on the drive home today? Well, I was going to listen to uh to the R Kells, but now I'm going to listen to the Rack Laws, so I can try to distinguish the difference. Very good. Just, you know, I gotta I gotta know why are they different? Because I got confused myself. Alright. What about you, good sir? What playlist are you diving into?

SPEAKER_02 51:45

Well, I've got a big uh nice uh eight-hour Frank Sinatra playlist.

SPEAKER_03 51:49

So I'm going with I think your drive home from Sunny Downtown is 12 hours.

SPEAKER_02 51:53

Right? I'm um I'm going with uh with a man who also is known as the chairman. Seemingly for more legitimate reasons than that. Yeah, but people actually call him that Edgar. Jesus. So, anyways, I'm uh I'm in a Sinatra mood, so I will be uh and I will put the link to said playlist in the description.

SPEAKER_03 52:09

I might check this one out.

SPEAKER_02 52:11

And uh it's a good time. I like little Frankie. You might not think you need an eight-hour Sinatra playlist, but uh you'd be wrong.

SPEAKER_03 52:18

All of a sudden.

SPEAKER_02 52:19

SPEAKER_03 52:22

Well, there we go.
