207: A Mouthful Of Dust - Classic Noir. Modern Complaints

Season 2 continues its steady march forward, proving once again that consistency is less about discipline and more about showing up often enough for it to become a habit.

This week, Tubesox unveils another  Top 10 - meticulously compiled, confidently defended, and immediately opened to the usual levels of skepticism. The rankings are fixed. Public opinion is not.

Edgar's Fun Facts also returns, steadfastly continuing his mission to provide information that is occasionally fascinating, occasionally baffling, and almost always delivered with complete confidence.

Meanwhile, Big Uke reports back on his latest assignment - The Killing (1956), offering a review of the classic film noir through the uniquely WWWS lens. Whether he watched it as intended - or simply survived it - is left for the audience to decide.

And, as always, 3 Things That Can Kick Rocks closes out the episode, once again proving that the world's supply of minor irritations remains effectively limitless.

Rankings. Facts. Film noir. Fresh grievances.

The routine is well established. The opinions remain entirely unregulated.

Keep your expectations low. We've made a tradition out of it.

Transcript

SPEAKER_03 0:45

Tonight, Big Youth chimes in on the movie The Killing.

SPEAKER_02 0:48

Youth Doctor has a fresh top ten list.

SPEAKER_03 0:51

Edgar hits us with some fun facts.

SPEAKER_02 0:53

As always, he's got uh three things that can kick rocks.

SPEAKER_03 0:57

Well, let's get at it. Boom, boom. We're coming at you from the fourth floor of Blunderworks Studios in Sunny Downtown! Sunny, goddamn downtown.

SPEAKER_02 1:07

It's yeah.

SPEAKER_03 1:08

It's sunny, but she's uh she's damp.

SPEAKER_02 1:10

It's damp and a whole lot of other things lately.

SPEAKER_03 1:13

Oh my goodness. It's just been chaos weather-wise, really. Uh before we get too deep into this, he goes by the name of Big Yuke.

SPEAKER_02 1:22

This man. We call him TubeSocks.

SPEAKER_03 1:24

And behind the camera is Edgar, the chairman Lassiter. For whatever reason. And playing us in and out are Harold Winthrop and the Silver Astray Orchestra, playing our intro and outro themes. I sure hope the track isn't too flooded for them. Oof, could be. I'm confident they're mostly underwater. They do like the track, and that's where water likes to build up.

SPEAKER_02 1:47

Yeah, right. You've ever like you see some of these like horse races and like in the you know days of of before dog races. The tracks were always just mud. Like why do you always why do they have build these tracks in the bottom of freaking valleys?

SPEAKER_03 2:01

That's where the land was.

SPEAKER_02 2:02

Yeah, put it on top of a hill.

SPEAKER_03 2:03

Right? Hilltop tracks.

SPEAKER_02 2:05

Well, hilltop track. It's always dry and dusty.

SPEAKER_03 2:07

What uh what are we saying today, youke? Besides besides horse tracks, besides horse tracks being wet.

SPEAKER_02 2:14

Well, we're gonna discuss some things that I think are important to discuss. What about you? How important do you think the things we're gonna discuss are?

SPEAKER_03 2:21

Well, I was thinking while I was preparing our uh our show notes and realizing the episode number that we're damn near at the halfway point of the season. Crazy, right? I I I can't believe it. My goodness.

SPEAKER_02 2:35

It's simply unbelievable. Can you believe it's week 18 of the season already? That's exactly where I was going with that. I'm glad you picked up on that.

SPEAKER_03 2:43

But my goodness. Can you believe you know what they say? Time flies when you're having fun.

SPEAKER_02 2:49

Absolutely.

SPEAKER_03 2:50

And I I have been I think this is what we're doing. We're having fun.

SPEAKER_02 2:52

I've been enjoying this this whole journey we've been on. My goodness. From from day one so many, so many weeks ago.

SPEAKER_03 2:58

It has been a journey. It's been an experience. It still is a journey. Because we're not there yet.

SPEAKER_02 3:03

Yeah, not even close.

SPEAKER_03 3:04

We're getting there. And according to that letter we had last week, we still have a ways to go.

SPEAKER_02 3:07

Apparently.

SPEAKER_03 3:07

Apparently.

SPEAKER_02 3:08

It's great, but awful at the same time.

SPEAKER_03 3:10

How uh how was your week? You had uh a big a big weekend.

SPEAKER_02 3:14

Yeah. It was uh it was something. I'm still still kind of recovering from it.

SPEAKER_03 3:19

Still getting your levels back?

SPEAKER_02 3:21

Yeah. We were enjoying a uh hashtag stagnation event at a uh local watered hole.

SPEAKER_03 3:29

I love watering holes.

SPEAKER_02 3:30

Yeah, she was uh she was a fun weekend. Did a little bit of golfing, uh played some yard games, uh tapped a keg.

SPEAKER_03 3:37

Nice. I've never been on a like a a stag thing at a golf like I've never done that.

SPEAKER_02 3:42

It was a good time. You should try to get on one of those one day.

SPEAKER_03 3:44

Yeah, I probably should. And past the point of you know, where acquaintances are in fact getting married, so well, that's true. That'd be something though.

SPEAKER_02 3:54

That's just a wild who's the guest of honor.

SPEAKER_03 3:57

Well It's like a weekend of Bernie's thing?

SPEAKER_02 3:59

Yeah, big time. Yeah. Yeah. Wow. You got a weekend of burning them for the weekend. That's alright. Yeah, I had a great time. Weather was uh eh, but we made the best of it. It wasn't as bad as we thought it was gonna be, wasn't as good as we were hoping, but uh we made some memories that we'll never remember.

SPEAKER_03 4:14

That's you know, the memories are what you remember.

SPEAKER_02 4:16

Sometimes how was your weekend of dampness?

SPEAKER_03 4:21

It was alright, it was damp, you know. It's nice to be back in sunny downtown after uh repeated deluges uh over the past few days. So yeah, I'm fine, you know, spirits are up.

SPEAKER_02 4:31

Hey, that's all we can ask for.

SPEAKER_03 4:33

We're here for you people, ready for another episode here. For you. Got anything dumb this week?

SPEAKER_02 4:39

Mosquitoes. And and mosquitoes and the fact that seemingly there used to be less. They people have mosquitoes in my office now. Oh, that's just wrong. I know aerosols can be bad for the environment, but mosquitoes are worse for life for the biggest. Kill them, get rid of them, they're useless. I stand by that. Dragonflies can find other things to eat, bats can find other things to eat, get rid of all and and all mosquitoes. And I'm just they're so dumb because you th you can spray up all you want. Half the time, I think the the mosquito spray is actually a attractant because there's seemingly more around you.

SPEAKER_03 5:19

Plus, you just feel gross once you spray yourself.

SPEAKER_02 5:22

Yeah, and then if you use like the dry spray family stuff, it doesn't work. You need that heavy deet stuff that's sticky and greasy, and then it's just awful, and everything sucks, and you're itchy, and it's bad. Yeah, it's just bugs are stupid. That that's my dumb. This and every week. What about you?

SPEAKER_03 5:39

Okay, as a bug hater. Well, once again, I gotta relay uh a tale from uh Uh-oh.

SPEAKER_02 5:45

A tale from the bar? A tale from the pub. This might have to become a recurring segment. Just tales from the pub.

SPEAKER_03 5:50

Well, I think we can just slide it into here. What was the pub saying? Well, this was right, and this was uh another washroom-related uh tale. Oh my god. And it was just dumb. It was walking along, ducking into in into into into the washroom, and another gentleman at the same time. Not pissing by the electrical box for the other guy? No, none of that going on. I go to the urinal, he ducks into the st and when we're walking in, he just gives me a you know a head nod and a hey. Hey, and I don't know the guy. He's not a regular guy that you know that I converse with at said pub. So I go to the urinal, he goes into the stall, and in the middle of, you know, at the urinal, he starts talking to me from the stall. Like just like idle chit-chat. And I'm kind of like I thought he was on the phone or something, and fair. So I didn't say something, and then he gives me a hey, you still there, buddy? Like, you're talking to me? Yeah, yeah. And then he goes on about something like uh I'm just trying to take a leak and wash my hands and get back to my beer. I really not here for the conversation.

SPEAKER_02 7:00

In the Yeah, it's not usually the uh it's not a top ten of place to have conversations.

SPEAKER_03 7:05

Well, and it's again if it's someone you knew, maybe different. You know, they might say, Hey, haven't seen you in a while, blah blah blah. Still, don't talk to me while you're sitting on the toilet, please. I don't want that interaction.

SPEAKER_02 7:15

Yeah, that's actually hilarious. Because and I think This was a stranger. And I think if you were like, you know, both at the urinals, maybe it's not as weird if you're just like staring at the wall having a conversation. Hey, but the fact that this guy's sitting down on the toilet in a stall, I think that is just that's a power move.

SPEAKER_03 7:34

What do you what do you leave his phone at the table? Yeah, he's bored. He had to chit-chat with me.

SPEAKER_02 7:41

Jesus. That was I just think that the amount of washroom stories you have is starting to alarm me. Well, it's a real carnival atmosphere. Like, I don't know if there's someone who I should be contacting, like an authority or something. My goodness. I think, yeah, I don't know. But that is that's made for a handful of washroom-related instances.

SPEAKER_03 8:04

And it's not just that specific place either. No, that's the best part.

SPEAKER_02 8:07

It's not for that one.

SPEAKER_03 8:08

Wherever there's a public washroom that TubeZox is in. Things happen. Something's gonna happen that's peculiar. If you're looking for a story, follow tube into a bathroom. Sup in the bathroom scene this week. Socks.

SPEAKER_02 8:21

Yeah, Tales from the Pub, and then what were we washrooming is is the new segments we've been cooking.

SPEAKER_03 8:28

Holy crap. That's crazy.

SPEAKER_02 8:30

Oh my gosh. That is just I'm almost like every time I see that you know, Tube Sucks has an item for what were we what was done this week. I'm just it's I'm 80% confident it's gonna be bathroom related. Bathroom or the pub? It's bathroom in the pub. Or the bathroom in the pub. Yeah, bathroom in the pub is like a double whammy.

SPEAKER_03 8:48

Oh, I'm very predictable.

SPEAKER_02 8:51

But in the most unpredictable way, because every single washroom story you've told is completely different.

SPEAKER_03 8:57

Well, if they were the same, it wouldn't be much of a story, would it?

SPEAKER_02 9:00

But I uh Well I'd also be super creeped out if you just like were always dealing with the exact same bathroom problem. Then that might be a you issue. Oh my.

SPEAKER_03 9:09

Oh goodness. Well, we we uh do have a movie to talk about later on, so I think we should move on to this because we tend to drag the movie talk.

SPEAKER_02 9:16

We do, and I just threw away the card that I think I have information on still. But seriously? No, we're good. Not my good one. Like, not my big one. We're good. I got a top 10 list. Yeah, we go. I don't need a card for that. That's true. Top 10 too.

SPEAKER_03 9:28

Well now, yeah, but you oh geez, you don't know the next segment order then. Oh, interesting. It's fine, that's why I got you. Okay. So last episode, we come fresh off the uh the wet football game experience, if you recall. I'm just setting up the top 10 list here. That was a wet experience.

SPEAKER_02 9:45

And so basically washrooms and wet with tube socks.

SPEAKER_03 9:49

I discussed uh how I was excited that Sunday morning I did not wake up with trench foot.

SPEAKER_02 9:56

That was uh that was happy for you.

SPEAKER_03 9:58

And that led me to uh to this top ten list.

SPEAKER_02 10:01

Oh.

SPEAKER_03 10:02

Which is the top ten medical conditions that I've also successfully evaded so far.

SPEAKER_02 10:08

Okay, I like where this is going. Is Trenchfoot on the list?

SPEAKER_03 10:12

Well, no, because we all know about that. Sure.

SPEAKER_02 10:14

I'm just making I don't know. I don't know you.

SPEAKER_03 10:16

I don't know if there was this is just straight up uh conditions. There's no descriptions of said conditions, just the condition. I got ten of them.

SPEAKER_02 10:23

I'm glad to hear you've avoided at least ten things.

SPEAKER_03 10:25

Number ten. Saint Vitus Dance. Oh, I wish I knew what that was. Some sort of shaky condition. I don't know. You don't got it. I don't got it. Number nine. Milk leg. Milk leg. You know, that almost sounds fun. Number eight, the bends.

SPEAKER_02 10:47

I don't think I don't see you much of much of a diver. Yeah, no, not a spool guy. We'll be good there.

SPEAKER_03 10:53

Number seven. Housemaid's knee.

SPEAKER_02 10:57

Housemaid's knee. I feel as though this is in that atomic era optimism type.

SPEAKER_03 11:01

Uh no, this is back in like even further. Victoria, actually, like way back. Way back. Like 1500, 1600s. Damn. I don't think you want this. I guess some sort of knee condition because you're always on your hands and knees scrubbing floors.

SPEAKER_02 11:14

I mean, I would assume it's some sort of knee condition.

SPEAKER_03 11:16

Yeah. Yep. Number six. Breakbone fever. Breakbone fever.

SPEAKER_02 11:22

That sounds like a doesn't sound good. Doesn't sound good, but it also doesn't sound like a disease. Like it sounds like like there's a band called Breakbone. It's like it's Get ready, kids! Breakbone fever!

SPEAKER_03 11:34

It's coming down. It's like the Footloose down. Boom. Exactly. Breakbone fever's playing this weekend.

SPEAKER_02 11:38

Yeah. Breakbone fever. Like you just get really sick and then your bones just break.

SPEAKER_03 11:43

I don't know. I didn't research the uh You just know you don't have it. I just know I've never had it. Number five, black lung. Thank God. Classic. Classic coal mining disease.

SPEAKER_02 11:54

Classic. Not much of a mine are you. Got the black lung pop. Number four. The king's evil. The king's evil. See, this doesn't sound like it's medical. This sounds very much like Yeah, it's like some sort of weird thing.

SPEAKER_03 12:08

It's a weird thing that grows out of your neck or something. And I don't know. It's just again, this is like medieval type.

SPEAKER_02 12:13

Oh, yeah, that one definitely felt medieval, not just because it was king. Medieval is in the title of a disease. Right. It's like that. You know what? Yeah, that's that makes sense for a medieval type of illness.

SPEAKER_03 12:23

And one of the funnest ones, at least sounding. Number three. Chillables.

SPEAKER_02 12:29

Yeah, I want that. Right? Like that sounds like a like a food at a Mexican restaurant.

SPEAKER_03 12:33

Oh, I'll have an order of the chilliblanes, please. Did you want those fried or grilled? Chillibanes. Blains. Chilla blanes. Like you guys can play at home. You can like look these up as I say them.

SPEAKER_02 12:47

Chilliblanes. Like at least the other ones you can kinda kind of go get directionally correct on what it is. Chilliblanes, you have no idea. No idea. Other than now I'm just thinking of like Mexican restaurants.

SPEAKER_03 13:00

Uh number two. Lockjaw. Lockjaw?

SPEAKER_02 13:04

Yeah, you know what?

SPEAKER_03 13:04

That was one of those things that as a kid, your parents would tell you get it if you stepped on a nail or something. I don't think I call it that anymore. So it's like just like I'm sure they don't call King's Evil is probably still a condition that they're calling King's Evil.

SPEAKER_02 13:16

Yeah, Lockjaw. Lockjaw is like uh it's like quicksand when it's like you were told to worry about you thought in your adult life you'd have to worry about it more.

SPEAKER_03 13:24

And the Bermuda Triangle.

SPEAKER_02 13:25

Oh, I'd still worry about that.

SPEAKER_03 13:27

Um the number one medical condition that I tube socks have successfully evaded so far. Potters rot.

SPEAKER_02 13:39

Potter's rot. See, now when I think of that, I would think it definitely has something to do with just like the moisture of the material they're working with and like getting I believe it's the uh the toxic dust and stuff that the potters would work with.

SPEAKER_03 13:52

Okay. So their their lungs would rot from the inside out because they were in the pottery profession. Yeah, so that's declined because smoking miners and pottery. There's not as much potters as a there's a lot of potters nowadays. I don't think it means different pottery course. Yeah, like as a trade. You should we should bring that back. I'll see a lot of lead-based paint in that pottery too. Like they were they were killing themselves making it, and the people were dying from using them to consume Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 14:21

It was just yeah, it was just a death death a death spiral. Death spiral.

SPEAKER_03 14:25

My goodness. So yeah, so I've I haven't gotten any of those things yet. So I wouldn't be able to uh bring you this uh content with my soon-to-be good friend uh. Well you can come back to the band.

SPEAKER_02 14:37

It doesn't just kill you. Well, it can.

SPEAKER_03 14:40

Well, moving on. I'm very glad you haven't suffered from that. Yeah, I haven't. Those are so I'm just glad that it's not a list of conditions. And trench foot. That that it's not a list of conditions that I have had, because that would be more alarming if things I have had.

SPEAKER_02 14:55

Right.

SPEAKER_03 14:56

Okay, so moving on next, we're heading into Edgar's fun facts, and I've got a lineup for that. If you say so. Because he is cards. Because my card's over there. And this is uh this fun fact is brought to you by Cliff Bannerman's All Night Wicker Emporium. Alright, we're open. Don't ask why. It's 2 37 a.m. Bad decisions are circling. We've got chairs that creak with authority, baskets that feel personal, and patio sets that suggest everything is under control. Why wicker? You're here, aren't you? Other stores close, we don't. Other people hesitate, we complete the set. Come in, touch something woven. Leave with a store you can't quite defend. Cliff Bannerman's All Night Wicker Emporium. If you found it, it's already too late. Oh Cliff. I'm just glad they're around. They're glad around to sponsor these segments. I wonder who wins in Wicker versus Rattan. Like, which is the more popular? Oh. Because they're usually lumped together.

SPEAKER_02 15:45

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 15:46

Like is Rattan like Wicker's like redheaded stepchild?

SPEAKER_02 15:51

Yeah, we don't really talk about it, but it's around.

SPEAKER_03 15:53

Right? Yeah, we'll get you some rattan, but we don't like to bring it to the room.

SPEAKER_02 15:57

But you gotta pick it up from the back. Yeah. We're not gonna bring it through the front of the Anyways.

SPEAKER_03 16:02

Anyways. So you got a thing here.

SPEAKER_02 16:03

That whole keeping on topic thing we're struggling with.

SPEAKER_03 16:06

I got some things. It's been a while since uh it's been about a been about a fortnight or two since we've given him some time to compile.

SPEAKER_02 16:14

Because that's what we've discovered over the all of the versions of of this is that if we do it way too close together, it's just it's just bad for everybody.

SPEAKER_03 16:24

Edgar needs a reset and he needs lots of time to hit up the microfiche at the local school library.

SPEAKER_02 16:30

Microfiche. I always just think of a small fish.

SPEAKER_03 16:34

Micro. Alright, so Edgar's fun fact's fun fact read by Big Yuke. Well you greening over here.

SPEAKER_02 16:42

Well, you green. Fun fact number one. In medieval England, if someone witnessed a crime, they were expected to raise the hue and cry. Every able-bodied man who heard the alarm was legally required to join the pursuit of the suspect. If you ignore the call, you yourself could be fined.

SPEAKER_03 16:58

See, that's peculiar time, right? Medieval England? Well, that's a peculiar time anyways, but such a thing like you now things go on people, everyone pulls up their phones and records it, but no one does anything. That's true. So if everyone is legally obligated to uh help? I don't think that'd fly in today's society. That society's today's just not that helpful.

SPEAKER_02 17:18

Yeah, I don't want to talk to people when I'm outside.

SPEAKER_03 17:19

Interesting though, right? That you could be charged You could be fined for not helping. Simply for not helping, you could like for minding your own business. Huh. Or not wanting to, you know.

SPEAKER_02 17:29

I wonder what the hu like what the human crime was supposed to sound like though. Did it sound different for different crimes? I think but the person who witnessed it would be the one Yeah, they get they're the one they just yell, Crime! That's way gents.

SPEAKER_03 17:45

And what uh Well who who's to decide able bodied though? Well I got a gamey leg, I can't go. Yeah, I can't. I got the Potter's rot, I got it.

SPEAKER_02 17:55

Wonder how that would hold up in court. Anyway, so Edgar, fun fact. Ish. That was that was that was fun. I did not know that. I didn't know that, that's for dang sure. Fun fact number two. During the Victorian era, many men used mustache cups when drinking tea. These specifically designed cups had a small porcelain ledge inside that kept hot tea and milk from ruining an elaborately waxed mustache. I love that.

SPEAKER_03 18:23

That's tremendous. It's like just just a little ledge. With a little hole so you can sit by Yeah. I can I can like maybe this weekend. I'm gonna go to like the bay or something. Can I help you? I is I'm looking for a uh Well don't go to a Potter because Oh or a bay. Oh yeah. Yeah, I can't tough to just tough to do that. Maybe I'll check out Eaton's instead. Oh wait.

SPEAKER_02 18:45

Oh wait. Hmm.

SPEAKER_03 18:46

Perhaps Woolworths will have them. Uh-oh. No. Damn it. Woodwards? No.

unknown 18:52

No.

SPEAKER_03 18:53

What are they called?

SPEAKER_02 18:54

They are called. They are called mustache cups. Mustache cups.

SPEAKER_03 19:00

I bet if you went into any houseware's place and you said, I'm looking for not looking for a mustache cup, you say, I'm looking for the mustache cups? Yeah. Like it's gonna be like a whole like a whole section. Oh, they're all over here, sir.

SPEAKER_02 19:11

Yeah, just different different sizes of handles, different.

SPEAKER_03 19:14

What uh type of mustache do you have?

SPEAKER_02 19:15

Yeah. Trying to keep clean. How big of a ledge do you need for your mustache? That is fun though. That is kind of fun. Because again, the whole like elaborately waxed mustaches, like they worked hard on those. For sure. In the Victorian era.

SPEAKER_03 19:28

And they love their tea.

SPEAKER_02 19:29

They love their tea.

SPEAKER_03 19:31

I like tea. I like a good tea.

SPEAKER_02 19:33

I like a type of tea, but it's usually hard and iced. Well.

SPEAKER_03 19:38

Mr. Bachelor Party over there.

SPEAKER_02 19:41

There was a few of those. Anyways, moving on before we track it again. Fun fact number three. Most fast food restaurants have drive-throughs because they can be faster and more convenient than having every customer come inside. It saves time, keeps lines moving, and lets people enjoy a burger without ever having to leave their car.

SPEAKER_03 20:00

There's few things as satisfying than sitting in your car eating.

SPEAKER_02 20:07

Oh, Edgar.

SPEAKER_03 20:09

Oh my goodness.

SPEAKER_02 20:10

Every time we do this, I think you understand what we were asking for. And then something like this happens.

SPEAKER_03 20:15

I'm starting to see a pattern. I am too. I mean, I guess if we weren't seeing a pattern, we'd be terrible pattern spotters.

SPEAKER_02 20:23

I've always been known to be a good spotter of patterns.

SPEAKER_03 20:26

I mean, I've got a guy at work that just eats out in his car. And we have there is a lunch area. Yeah. But he goes to the fridge, takes his lunch.

SPEAKER_02 20:33

Oh, he takes his lunch at the end. He brings his lunch in and puts a few.

SPEAKER_03 20:37

Every day he's going for a burger. No, he brings his lunch, then he gets his lunch out of the fridge, then takes it out. And I see him in the parking lot. I'm like, oh, that you know, oh, he's sitting in his car eating. Hmm. Huh. Okay. Strange. Seems kind of depressing to me.

SPEAKER_02 20:50

Well, it doesn't seem happy. Also, when there's an ample area to Yeah, it's one thing if there's no like lunchroom or like area to do it. And maybe even occasionally, maybe you want to just like you need some time.

SPEAKER_03 21:03

Or you want to listen to Triple WS over your lunch. Yes. Do that. I highly recommend that. There's nothing depressing about that.

SPEAKER_02 21:10

Well, and if you are eating in your car, now you know that most fast food places have drive-thru. They have drive-thrus, so that's uh I wonder if there's any fast food places that would give you a mustache cup if you asked. Did you need a bag with that? No, but can I get a mustache cup, please?

SPEAKER_03 21:24

Latte and a mustache cup, please.

SPEAKER_02 21:26

That was pretty good. I don't need that one anymore.

SPEAKER_03 21:30

So now we're getting to a movie. I know that because I didn't throw away my card that says what we're doing next.

SPEAKER_02 21:36

Hey oh, guess who did?

SPEAKER_03 21:38

So tell us about the movie that you had to uh or were blessed with watching. Tell the folks what movie it was.

SPEAKER_02 21:45

So the movie I was blessed with watching this week was The Killing, I believe 1958. 56. Ah, 56. I didn't write down the year, I kind of forgot. But I was close.

SPEAKER_03 21:55

Stanley Kubrick, uh early Stanley Kubrick. Early Stanley. Twenty seven year old Stanley Kubrick. One of only two film noirs.

SPEAKER_02 22:02

Uh yeah. And uh enjoyed it. You did? It was an enjoyable film.

SPEAKER_03 22:07

Aha, okay. You did you did well on this film. So comparing the capers, yeah. Um odds against tomorrow, which is this one was a hundred times better. This was very well planned.

SPEAKER_02 22:15

This one was very well, very well planned. Uh much, much, much better.

SPEAKER_03 22:20

Can I ask you questions first or should I let you talk a little bit about? Because I have some things I'm curious about your take on, but I don't want to. I think we could well, I mean first of all, well, I'll I'll put this one out there. Did you like the narration? Or did it throw you off?

SPEAKER_02 22:32

I actually did. I had uh uh the cool angle. Narrator and timelines was cool, right? Revisiting the same the same timing chunk just from each character's perspective of what their job was during said.

SPEAKER_03 22:47

There's a lot of noirs that will have narration and they're kind of shitty.

SPEAKER_02 22:50

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 22:51

Like some of them are really procedural, like it'll be uh here's a crime that happened, but the whole narration angle is from like the FBI and to basically there's an opening and a host that says, you know, these guys thought they could get away with something. They can't.

SPEAKER_02 23:06

These are their stories, right? And then yeah, anyways, but this was I thought this was yeah, I I actually made had made sure I made note of that that the uh the way they did it with the timelines and like jumping back and forth between not a lot of narrated movies now, no, like there are documentaries, right?

SPEAKER_03 23:23

So when it opens up, when it first starts, you're like, oh, okay.

SPEAKER_02 23:25

Well, it wasn't overbearing, right? It wasn't the entire film. No, it was just like when the stuff was going down. When they when there was the action of everything. So I I I did enjoy that. It kind of needed the narration because it when it just explained time points. Yeah. I think it did a good job. So I did like it. Right on. Uh, my first note here is that at the beginning of the movie, can't I did not write down his name, but he's like the first guy who's given out addresses. He didn't pay for ginger ale. And I don't know what his job was. Like, you know, Mike was the bartender, George was the cashier, John was the leader of the gang. I think the gang. Johnny.

SPEAKER_03 24:00

Johnny, nothing.

SPEAKER_02 24:01

Johnny John, sorry, Johnny.

SPEAKER_03 24:03

I bet if you call him John, he'd probably not be happy about that.

SPEAKER_02 24:06

Sorry, Johnny was the the the leader of that gang. Johnny Clay. Was the cop's name Randy? I think so. And I I had another bullet point here for that man.

SPEAKER_03 24:14

Cop was in in deep with the mob, hey?

SPEAKER_02 24:17

Oh yeah. Yeah. I mean, I I it was good. I think they was an engaging they did a good a good job too of like giving enough, you know, back and extra story to each character that you developed like a feeling for them. Whether good or bad, like, you know what, screw that guy, or yeah, I hope this guy, you know, he wins. It was good. The music was really good too. Like during the whole Caper. The movie was or the the music accompanied the story well, I think.

SPEAKER_03 24:47

I I agree. I can't disagree with that. I also enjoyed the uh the fact that it was a a racetrack holdup. Yeah. Because that's an interesting, because it's not a bank job.

SPEAKER_02 24:56

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 24:56

You know, I I like that aspect of it. Hey, this place is gonna have a lot of cash every Saturday at this time.

SPEAKER_02 25:02

Yeah. Well, and because it was their that seventh race was a big one.

SPEAKER_03 25:05

And if we throw a bunch of distraction doodles over here, we can and distraction doodles they did.

SPEAKER_02 25:10

Sherry. Uh Sherry is kind of a bitch, is the is the exact line I have written down. And I was gonna write an adulterer. Yes.

SPEAKER_03 25:20

Yes, George. Those eyes, though.

SPEAKER_02 25:23

Well, yeah, like I can see why she had a side hope.

SPEAKER_03 25:25

Oh, George, what a what a sap.

SPEAKER_02 25:27

Right?

SPEAKER_03 25:27

And he's actually in a lot of he's in a lot of noirs, and he's basically always that kind of guy. Like he's just got that look about him.

SPEAKER_02 25:34

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 25:34

Right?

SPEAKER_02 25:35

I almost I I didn't Google or look up what his name was, like who the actor was. I feel as well. I should know because I've seen him in film noir as like an older man in stuff.

SPEAKER_03 25:48

Something maybe later in the 70s or 80s or something when he was an old guy.

SPEAKER_02 25:50

He was an older guy just because he had that he's he had a recognizable-ish face. But so did Johnny. And I don't know if I've seen any movies with that.

SPEAKER_03 25:57

I'll see Sterling Hayden again. He was in a lot of movies of that era, but probably stopped making movies in the 70s, I want to say.

SPEAKER_02 26:03

I feel like maybe I've seen him in was he in any like TV shows? He was he would pop up like a side character kind of stuff.

SPEAKER_03 26:10

He'd pop up in like 70s TV shows.

SPEAKER_02 26:12

Yeah, so maybe I've seen him because he had a recognizable. He's really good in that, right? Right.

SPEAKER_03 26:15

Like he's just great. Honestly, I think he's calm and cool.

SPEAKER_02 26:18

Yeah. He's the exact opposite. Unflappable. Unflappable is a great way to describe that. Basically, completely opposite than everything going on in the first caper I watched.

SPEAKER_03 26:28

Uh yes, everyone was very flappable.

SPEAKER_02 26:31

Yeah, that was a bad one compared to this one. Like, actually night and day. Not even just the way they planned things, just the movie in general. I'm I'm really glad you enjoyed it.

SPEAKER_03 26:40

I actually I thoroughly. It's a well thought out, and while it's just cleverly shot, like the shots are cool.

SPEAKER_02 26:46

The shots through the houses were good. Yeah. Like when they're like walking between the rooms and stuff.

SPEAKER_03 26:50

The wrestler at the at the chess and checkers club?

SPEAKER_02 26:52

Yeah. So there's another note.

SPEAKER_03 26:54

There's a social place that just doesn't exist anymore. Right?

SPEAKER_02 26:57

A chess and checkers club?

SPEAKER_03 26:58

15 cents a game, and you can just swing in when he shows up. Are you looking to play a game? How great would that be? Right? Kev looking like a George Animal Steel there. Accurate. Slash Shrek.

SPEAKER_02 27:08

Very Shrek-ish.

SPEAKER_03 27:09

Yes. Yeah. So it did. He's actually a wrestler.

SPEAKER_02 27:11

I well I believe it, judging by his uh excellent bar fight scene. And his yeah, his tossing guys around ability. Yeah, that was a note here. Bar fight scene was incredible. I was giggling a little bit during that. Especially did his shirt have to come off? Did they have to rip the shirt off?

SPEAKER_03 27:28

I love that all these little bits put in there just as distractions. And the guys that were doing them didn't know the bigger picture. Uh-huh. Which is why Johnny Clay was so fantastic in planning this. It's like, I'm going to give you $2,000. You got to come in here and start a bar start a fight at 2 p.m. Yeah. Okay.

SPEAKER_02 27:43

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 27:44

What's it about? You don't need to know, but I'm giving you two.

SPEAKER_02 27:47

Yep. Or the five grand for the for Nikki.

SPEAKER_03 27:50

Which that that that was uh that just kind of all went south, hey. Yeah, that went south like and then also he got bitter at the guy. Yeah, like he started everything is cool, everything is cool until he started getting a little bit.

SPEAKER_02 28:04

Got a little spicy, and uh and inevitably his spiciness is what got him killed. Yes. But even though there's no physical way that action happens there, but right.

SPEAKER_03 28:14

Nikki was trying to play it cool, play it cool, but really he just wanted the guy to piss off. Like, stop stop being so friendly. But like he pissed up now. I've got to be a prick to you now because I need you to leave. Now I need to insist.

SPEAKER_02 28:24

I'll go to shoot this horse. I have to shoot a horse here right away. And I also just I love like what an interesting angle though, as a distraction.

SPEAKER_03 28:32

Yeah, let me just shoot the horse. But he was right.

SPEAKER_02 28:36

Because that'll just cause chaos in the whole place. And like it's funny because the shooting itself didn't cause chaos until like later. But it was like I think just also the way that that scene was shot, like he rolls up to the fence, rolls up to the front edge of the parking lot. Judging by the initial angle, the the racetrack is a hundred miles away. And then moments later, when the race has started, the horses are about 15 feet in front of them. Yes. When they come around the second corner, they are right there. He's using binoculars, and then all of a sudden, like the it changed the image changed. All of a sudden, there's fences and it's right there. And then just pulling with that rifle and that convertible, like he's unscrewing his windshield to lay it down. Oh, god, what a simple time. You can just go out and shoot a horse and no one will no one will see me here. No one will see me, except for this cop who wasn't there before. Right. And then shoots you and no bullet holes. Just like I remember made the same comment in that first movie. Details of when they shoot the old guy in the street and there's no holes in his jacket. I was looking for that this time. Yeah. Same with like her. Like you can shoot and shot in the stomach. There's gonna be blood.

SPEAKER_03 29:50

Yeah, there was nothing there. There was nothing.

SPEAKER_02 29:52

And you had just enough time to insult him one last time.

SPEAKER_03 29:55

God, she's just she really like. I rewatched it last night as well. Okay. Because, you know, again, I like to keep things fresh. Yeah. And I've forgotten just how bitchy she is. In that first scene with the two of them.

SPEAKER_02 30:08

Awful too.

SPEAKER_03 30:09

Everything is just she's sitting at home doing nothing. George walks in and she says, Get me a drink. Like, why didn't you get your own drink? Like, why don't you have a drink already? You've been home doing nothing. And there's ice in a bucket. There's ice in the bucket. So clearly you were ready. Everything was set up. Like she was just, but I mean, easy on the eyes, but what a batch.

SPEAKER_02 30:28

Oh, yeah.

SPEAKER_03 30:28

Big time.

SPEAKER_02 30:29

And that's why, like, my first note was didn't her handsome guy on the side. Didn't pay for ginger ale. The second note in the second scene is Sherry is kind of a bitch.

SPEAKER_03 30:38

That would be yes, Marie Windsor, who I said was.

SPEAKER_02 30:41

Oh, yeah, definitely a looker. And I in in the movie more.

SPEAKER_03 30:45

But those dough eyes, though. Big time. Like a fetching look, like a unique look.

SPEAKER_02 30:48

Like I can see why a guy like George just puts up with it.

SPEAKER_03 30:52

Well, sure. Joe's a Joe's a schmuck. But he had to spill, right? He had to spill the beans, and that was when sh everything went to hell on a hand bath.

SPEAKER_02 31:00

Everything went to hell.

SPEAKER_03 31:01

And like so early. And then yeah, I mean, the end. Okay, well, here can I here's I have a question for you about the end. Okay. Was the ending frustrating or perfect? I mean, that's accurate because the way everything went all this cast of characters. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 31:19

Can I say both? Like, and for me, frustrating because Johnny planned everything so well. So well. But then didn't think about the size of his carry-on suitcase. That kind of pisses me off.

SPEAKER_03 31:31

One note here with three exclamation points. The suitcase. The suitcase.

SPEAKER_02 31:35

It was so flimsy. It was so flimsy when you couldn't get the keys in the lock. It should have been your first stop. Go get another suitcase. Go get a different suitcase.

SPEAKER_03 31:43

Why is he going to a pawn shop to buy a suitcase?

SPEAKER_02 31:45

You just have two million dollars in cash.

SPEAKER_03 31:48

In 1956 money.

SPEAKER_02 31:50

Yeah. And you have that money already. Just take a couple bills out, go buy a bag.

SPEAKER_03 31:55

Go to Samsung. Buy a couple bags. Get yourself a couple of nice cases.

SPEAKER_02 31:59

And you should have known. Considering you were checked into your flight seven hours and they're like, yeah, come back, sir, and we'll get you on the plane. That whole airport thing was weird.

SPEAKER_03 32:08

It's just a different time.

SPEAKER_02 32:09

Right? But like you should have known that you can't take a huge case on Terry on.

SPEAKER_03 32:15

Even then you couldn't.

SPEAKER_02 32:16

Yeah. Even then. And even then, I don't know.

SPEAKER_03 32:18

But when things went to shit with that suitcase, yeah. Genjani? Unflappable. Yeah, he was just kind of a well. All right. Well. It's over. That didn't work out. I guess we'll leave. Oh, I guess there's cops here now.

SPEAKER_02 32:28

And then even at the end, I was like, is he gonna go out in like a blaze of glory? But he's like, nah, well well, what's the difference? So just gets arrested.

SPEAKER_03 32:36

Cucumber.

SPEAKER_02 32:37

But yeah, so the the the ending there was both so like I think the airport scene was a little frustrating on the fact that you planned everything so well. But didn't plan that but then like seemingly panicked about the size of the suitcase when you went and bought it.

SPEAKER_03 32:49

Wasn't prepared for that. Yeah. Could have had two smaller suitcases.

SPEAKER_02 32:51

Yeah, you should also have probably had those already. Yes. Also, like when uh what was the what was the guy's name, the the side piece's name? Damn it, I just watched it. And they said it right you watched it last night. Yes, you watched it just before two hours ago. Uh and they said his name at the end. George said it to her. But anyways, those guys come in and the fact that everyone dies in the fashion of that shootout, yeah, that frustrated me, but was also like I was waiting for this to happen.

SPEAKER_03 33:25

And when George and Sherry have their their bit and just like hitting the ground and the bird parents right? Like it's just that's shot so well. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 33:33

And just that everything goes to shit in that scene when Vince Edwards comes in and then everyone just he shoots him, and then clearly the other guy that he because the other guy went in and was like looking.

SPEAKER_03 33:44

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 33:44

And so George shoots whatever the the side piece with and the side piece has a shotgun. And it looks like he uh clearly gets two shots off because he shoots George like basically in the face. Because you can see all the little pellet holes, which is it what which is again funny to me going back to the last movie I watched. With the bullet with uh bullet when that guy gets shot with the shotgun in the shoulder and it kills him instantly. George has bullet holes in his face, and he had the he was good enough to drive home to kill his wife. Yes. So like that was just a little bit humorous, just cause you know the way different movies have shot. But it was I also didn't expect it to be that guy. I kind of forgot about him. I thought it would have been I thought it was gonna be Johnny just blasting through the door because that shotgun that when they tested it, he could fire so many shells. Yeah, and I because he never shot it at the track. I thought he was going to be uh to come to kill the other three other guys.

SPEAKER_03 34:44

Back to the track, actually. We didn't talk about that part of it. I love Johnny's freaking mask is creepy and cool, super creepy, but cool, and just the whole coolness of the the actual heist of the just methodical and wearing that creepy rubber mask, the way it all worked out, like and the chuck in the bag with the window to the waiting cop, it was all very well planned.

SPEAKER_02 35:06

Yeah, because again, no one's gonna question the cop being there. Yeah, no, I think Parkway once like the the heist itself was very well, like everyone had their role. And many people didn't know what and no, they just knew each other had to.

SPEAKER_03 35:21

All I had to know was what their role was. You do like you were bringing the gun and the flower. And he's because he's like, No, I've got I I got time, I gotta have to be there. I gotta be at the track in seven minutes.

SPEAKER_02 35:35

Yeah, and I know it takes me seven minutes because I've trained.

SPEAKER_03 35:39

He blows off the person looking for help.

SPEAKER_02 35:41

Yeah, I did they did a great job with that. And so like one of again, one of the reasons why I thought maybe there was some double crossing going on was one that who was it, the cashier George had a pistol on him. So I thought because of the way things happened at the beginning with her showing up to the meeting, you anticipated that he was maybe going to be the guy flipping.

SPEAKER_03 36:04

The double cross was not really a double cross, it was basically Sherry's issue of telling her boyfriend.

SPEAKER_02 36:09

Yeah. And then that's why I thought maybe uh Johnny was gonna come back with the shotgun, open the elevator door and blast, but then George was gonna be there. But it I mean, I was waiting for the what's gonna go wrong because this all seemingly went smooth. No one really cared if Nikki died, he just had to shoot the horse. Yeah, no one really cared about him at all because he was also he didn't know what else was going on.

SPEAKER_03 36:33

Yeah. So they even if he didn't get killed, they'd arrested him and gone, Oh, what are you? I don't know.

SPEAKER_02 36:38

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 36:39

Someone paid me to shoot a horse. Someone paid me to shoot a horse. Um, when I asked about the ending, uh, if it was uh frustrating or perfect, yes. My take on it, if you're interested. I am interested. I said, I think it's perfect because it expertly captures one of Noir's favorite ideas. Sometimes fate just simply decides that you're not getting away with it. Yeah. Well, no matter how perfect, it's like, you know, it's not in the cards. And that's how Johnny Clay walked away at the end. It's like, well, he wasn't mad, he wasn't anything, it was just all right. Stupid frickin' dog. Yes, this is gonna be a problem.

SPEAKER_02 37:11

Yes, that lady's a problem just the way she was talking to that guy.

SPEAKER_03 37:14

That was very problematic.

SPEAKER_02 37:16

And then, of course, the guy, the trolley runs around and it's sitting on the top wobbling, and then so it's good. And then that stupid dog runs out and then comes right back right away. Like, what the hell is that?

SPEAKER_03 37:29

He just ran out just so he could slam on the brakes, and case goes, hits the ground. See, so many things led to the calamity at the end. The dog doesn't happen, okay. Better suitcase, okay. Yeah, one of those on its own. If you had a better suitcase and the dog, maybe not the same result. Yeah, maybe the bag just falls off. But everything together just and actually, yeah, Johnny Clay's girlfriend was a bit of a sap as well.

SPEAKER_02 37:51

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 37:52

She's kind of sad at the beginning. She's just like waiting for him to get out of jail and just nothing without you, Johnny. Yeah, it's all very grow up. Like, get yourself some confidence.

SPEAKER_02 38:02

But yeah, like the movie, I just like the and then the way the the money just like the the length of time they shot the money just like swirling around was just like yeah.

SPEAKER_03 38:12

It was making the point.

SPEAKER_02 38:14

We uh we screwed up.

SPEAKER_03 38:16

We had all that. We had all that, and now we don't. Quentin Tarantino is uh a big fan of that movie. And he cites it as a big uh influence on Reservoir Dogs.

SPEAKER_02 38:26

Okay.

SPEAKER_03 38:26

And I mean that's easy to see. Yep. It's pretty cool. Cool movie. Reservoir Dog is also cool. Well, I'm glad you liked it. Yeah, would you give it a rating out of ten? What would you give it? I kinda haven't kept track of these, though, so I don't know where you can.

SPEAKER_02 38:46

The fact that I can't ever remember its name too.

SPEAKER_03 38:48

That says something.

SPEAKER_02 38:49

Yeah, it doesn't stand out as it doesn't stand out other than being like, I don't ever want to talk or hear this movie again. Uh this probably like a seven eight? Seven point eight.

SPEAKER_03 38:58

So it was enjoyable. I yeah, I did. Is it a rewatchable? I would say probably yeah. I mean, I've seen it a few times and you pick up on different things. That's yeah, I think uh it's interesting enough that you would uh Hey, it's a Sunday afternoon, you're on the couch, maybe I'll uh Right? Hey, this is on cool.

SPEAKER_02 39:15

One other note I have here. So when they're getting to they're at the racetrack, Mike's brought in the flowers and the shotgun. Uh George has opened that door after the wrestler starts that fight. Johnny goes into the locker room and he goes to get ready and he puts his gloves on after he's touched everything everything. Right, every doorknob, every doorknob, the gun, the locker, yeah, just everything. Like so these gloves actually are doing nothing.

SPEAKER_03 39:45

Right. I guess there's only one place that his prints wouldn't be, and that's specifically in the cash room. But they'd be everywhere else he would get to it.

SPEAKER_02 39:53

But then he took his he took his gloves off to throw the bag out the window and opened the door.

SPEAKER_03 39:59

Well, it looks like maybe Johnny wasn't as planning things as well as we thought he was.

SPEAKER_02 40:03

I think clearly he his biggest misstep was that suitcase thing. Like the fact that he even knew where to drive to to get off the road behind a bush to move into a box, just you couldn't have had a better suitcase stashed there or in the room that you rented.

SPEAKER_03 40:22

Sometimes queer criminals are just not smart enough.

SPEAKER_02 40:25

Like there's a reason why you've been in jail. Like just not smart enough. Right. And now you're going back to jail.

SPEAKER_03 40:30

But I quite like Stir uh Sterling Hayden's uh vibe and stuff. He's uh again, he's in a lot of noirs, and I enjoyable dude.

SPEAKER_02 40:37

I enjoy most noirs that he's in because he's I liked him more than the uh the main guy from Mods Against Tomorrow.

SPEAKER_03 40:44

Okay.

SPEAKER_02 40:44

Yeah. And I did in capital letters put stupid dog exclamation point. That dog is frustrated. And the parrot was a nice touch when they got George falls down. And then the parrot fell to the floor and knocks over.

SPEAKER_03 40:55

And he's just like, hello. That's a that that's a that's a cool shot, and that's 27-year-old Cooper going, Hey, this will look cool. This will look cool.

SPEAKER_02 41:02

And it did. You can see that a little bit of a pistol, bloody George, parrot.

SPEAKER_03 41:08

Anyways, okay. Well, I'm glad you enjoyed the movie. I uh I thoroughly did.

SPEAKER_02 41:13

I definitely I enjoyed this one more than I thought I would.

SPEAKER_03 41:17

And not that the stars are probably going, oh, it's another one of these.

SPEAKER_02 41:20

Yeah, kinda. And it was more like I was also like kind of rushing myself too, because I'm like, oh god, this better not be a movie that sucks. We're not having to like cram it in. We're doing a show and I want to make notes, but I want to enjoy it, and like I don't want to fall asleep like that last time. I don't want it to be a chore. Yeah, and I uh I uh I wasn't I never was once worried that like I'm not gonna have enough information because I'm just like watching it for the sake of watching it. So you can see that actually enjoyed it.

SPEAKER_03 41:53

And also just more creative, like the shots are cool, or like it's engaging to look at.

SPEAKER_02 41:56

Yeah, it did look good.

SPEAKER_03 41:58

Versus Detour, which was a very small very, very small budget. But made the most of what they had.

SPEAKER_02 42:03

But they played it up well and they made it well, yeah. Like that one, you know, your camera shots in that movie obviously were way worse, but it worked. Because this one you can tell it was bigger budget, but not like it's not a big production. Shot bullet. Yeah. Right. Big budget. Right. So the camera scenes, you can still gain the senses of where they are and how it's working, but not be like, oh, it's just a black alley and it's full of fog because there's no set. There's no set and it's night and there was actually there were streetlights and people and other cars.

SPEAKER_03 42:36

Seven scenes have been shot here in this movie, but we keep putting fog in so you don't recognize the rest of the scenes.

SPEAKER_02 42:41

Oh, but this one it worked awesome. Yeah. The killing, 1956, Stanley Kubrick. Enjoyable.

SPEAKER_03 42:48

Nice. Okay, well, I don't know if you've thrown away your card for the next.

SPEAKER_02 42:52

No, I actually only have that one left. There we go. So you see where we're at here. Now I know where we are. And it's my responsibility, folks, to read another sponsorship lineup for our weekly recurring segment that I believe everyone loves of Three Things That Can Kick Rocks. So our sponsorship lineup for Three Things That Kick Rocks. The Fjord and Fork. The premier Viking dining experience in the entire region. Step through our heavy wooden doors and enjoy an evening of smoked meats, root vegetables, and searingly hot soup. Can't get enough root vegetables. Not like smoked meats and root vegetables just go together. And when you can add searingly hot soup, right? Nobody wants warm soup. No. Try our famous long boat platter, an aggressive table length arrangement of charred meats, pickled fish, dense bread, and our house dipping sauce served in a collectible Viking helmet. At the Fjordan Fork, every meal is prepared the old Norse way, loudly, suspiciously, and with complete disregard for modern seasoning. And this is A nice fun feature that they've added. Kids eat free during pillage hour. The Fjordin Fork. Come hungry. Leave with a story.

SPEAKER_03 44:07

I have three of those collectible uh helmets.

SPEAKER_02 44:10

I only have two.

SPEAKER_03 44:11

I've been there more often than you. Clearly, I support our sponsors better.

SPEAKER_02 44:15

Okay, buddy guy. Simmer down.

SPEAKER_03 44:17

Alright, so three things I can kick rocks. That's the sound of the segment for those of you not watching and just listening.

SPEAKER_02 44:24

That's the sound of the segment.

SPEAKER_03 44:27

Alright.

SPEAKER_02 44:28

I am always looking forward to this because last week's, I think I agreed with you on all of them. I think you did. But the week prior, I think I disagreed with you on all of them.

SPEAKER_03 44:35

This week I've got YouTube reaction videos. Like when it's like someone watching a video and then just like a video of someone watching a movie or watch a video of someone watching something and talking about it when they're watching it, and people watch someone do this. This is bizarre to me.

SPEAKER_02 44:51

Okay, yeah, that's uh that's fair.

SPEAKER_03 44:53

That's just what the hell? Are you watching a movie? No, I'm gonna watch someone watch a movie. What are we doing?

SPEAKER_02 45:02

We're in Bizarro land. Coming next week. TubeSocks watches Big Youke watch the killing. Right?

SPEAKER_03 45:07

It's so weird. Anyways, number two. White framed sunglasses on men. I thought that was a thing that was gone, but then I saw some this week.

SPEAKER_02 45:16

I mean, not gonna lie, I do think that white framed sunglasses usually just make you look like a douche.

SPEAKER_03 45:23

And I thought this was gone.

SPEAKER_02 45:24

I thought the they were gone with frosted tips and frosting stuff, but a backwards ball cap, white frame sunglasses, and a jacked-up truck.

SPEAKER_03 45:33

But I saw a guy with white frame sunglasses this week and I thought, huh.

SPEAKER_02 45:38

Still a thing. Still a thing, huh?

SPEAKER_03 45:39

All right.

SPEAKER_02 45:40

So note to self. Next time CTube sucks at an event.

SPEAKER_03 45:43

Hide your white give him some sunglasses. Uh and the third thing I have mass greetings when you enter a fast food restaurant. Have you ever had this? This happened to me two weeks ago. I went into a hoagie shop that had newly opened, and I walk in the door, and there's like 10 staff members. There was like no customers. There was like 10 staff members in this place. I walk in and they all, bah, this big hay. And I'm like, I I can't do this. I'm not. I I left. Did you? Yes. I turned around and walked in. It was like it was like Abe Simpson walked into the brothel, just I don't want this. Huh. Yeah, and and I've been to a couple other places where I haven't left, but you know, I'll go in and there's people eating and stuff, but you walk in and they everyone turns from the grill and all, hey, hello, whatever, some sort of in unison greeting.

SPEAKER_02 46:35

The only thing time I think it's acceptable is not at a fast food joint. It's at like a Japanese restaurant. Because that is just like fun part of the experience.

SPEAKER_03 46:43

I just but I got a fast food joint? Like there's these newer places, it seems to be a newer place thing. It's not like that's fair.

SPEAKER_02 46:49

I've only ever had like a mass greeting at like a hibachi restaurant.

SPEAKER_03 46:52

Like like you go to like I'm not gonna name the places, but there's a couple new places that have opened up around here, and it's the thing now that they give you the big If it was like grand opening day and you're like just excited about people, maybe uh it's okay.

SPEAKER_02 47:06

It's awkward.

SPEAKER_03 47:06

I don't know what they want out of me.

SPEAKER_02 47:08

Like if one person says hi to me. I like one person saying hi to me. Like the whoever's closest to the door. Yeah, like the cashier. Oh, hey, how's it going?

SPEAKER_03 47:15

But it's like that it's like they got a little trigger when someone opens a door, they'll stop what they're doing and it's like a gas pump attendant when you roll over the hose. Yeah. That's just all kinds of so I didn't get my hoagie the other day because I didn't want to deal with also it must have been training day because there was way too many people behind the counter.

SPEAKER_02 47:33

For how busy it was?

SPEAKER_03 47:35

For well, no customers. And it was like 11 o'clock.

SPEAKER_02 47:38

Does this place have a drive-thru? Because as no, they don't.

SPEAKER_03 47:41

So that's why Edgar's fact said most. No, because it's a it's a hoagie shop. So well, yeah, some have. I think also that's a ridiculous thing, but what hoagie shops that have drive-throughs?

SPEAKER_02 47:51

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 47:51

There's too many variables.

SPEAKER_02 47:52

Well, unless it's one of those quick unless it's one of those places where it's like you we order the sandwich and you get the sandwich. You don't like you don't get to pick the options. You order number one and you get a number one with you know, lettuce, pickle, and tomato.

SPEAKER_03 48:09

Anyways, so that's this week.

SPEAKER_02 48:11

I can't really say that any of those are alarmingly it false like some weeks.

SPEAKER_03 48:16

They're all just little grievances, uh, youke.

SPEAKER_02 48:18

Well, and I think that's that's pretty much the morals of it is just tiny grievances. Tiny grievances. We kick rock.

SPEAKER_02 49:59

It's been a long weekend.

SPEAKER_03 50:00

Uh what do you uh what do you listen to on the drive home today? Well I don't know if you had time to think about that after just a movie.

SPEAKER_02 50:08

It's been a whirlwind thing, but there's this uh there's this sporting endeavor currently happening right now. It uh involves a lot of nations. And uh I do believe there uh there will be a matching match while I'm uh driving home from Sunday downtown. And if there's not, well then I don't know what I'm gonna listen to, because that's what I was planning on listening to. Okay. Uh fair enough. Yeah. What about you, good sir? What playlist are you diving into today?

SPEAKER_03 50:34

As you guys may or may not know, you should know. I would hope.

SPEAKER_02 50:37

You should drop.

SPEAKER_03 50:38

Well, maybe you're new here. If you're new, you wouldn't know. So I will reset it. Is that on my uh Spotify page, which I do have a link to in the description? I got about 180, 200 playlists on there, and every week I like to listen to one of them on the way home. This week, I'm listening to a playlist called Live It Up, the David Johansson Collection. Now I don't know how familiar with David Johansson. Literally, not even a single bit. He was the uh he just passed away this uh this last year. He was lead singer for the New York Dolls, fine proto-punk band in the 70s. Yeah, sure. He then moved on to a peculiar career in the mid-80s under the name of Buster Poindexter. You know what? That I've heard before. And then when in between that, he was just David Johansson solo artist and went back to being that, and he's done basically everything, uh, everything that's cool. He's nothing but cool. Martin Scorsese even uh filmed one of his final concerts for a documentary.

SPEAKER_02 51:37

Huh.

SPEAKER_03 51:38

So there you go. There you go. He's Mr. New York, David Johansson. So I'm gonna be listening to that because I do love the New York dolls, and I do love David Johansson. You do a lot of things. You know what? Uh Buster Poindexter's alright as well because it's fun because it's David Johansson. So if you know Buster Poindexter and you don't know that it's David Johansson, you might now you know, you know, take it a little differently. But it was him going, you know what, this would be a fun thing to do.

SPEAKER_02 52:00

I do I do love when musicians and artists do that. Because it's just like half the time it's like, what are you doing?

SPEAKER_03 52:07

He's just I want to do this. You know what?

SPEAKER_02 52:09

I'll be someone else now.

SPEAKER_03 52:10

I don't become a sp freaking Spanish lounge singer. What the hell? Why not? I think you should do it. I could do it.

SPEAKER_02 52:16

I think you should. Tune in next week, big Eugen, the Spanish lounge singer.

SPEAKER_03 52:22

Yes. Uh where do we uh where can folks find the show? Again, if you're new, everywhere.

SPEAKER_02 52:28

Everywhere. It's harder to not find us than it is to find us. Thursdays, 6 30 Mountain Standard Time, YouTube, live premiere the show. Spotify for audio and video, Apple Podcasts, uh, Deezer. Deezer. We know we're on Deezer, and we know someone found it. So thank you again.

SPEAKER_03 52:45

Basically, anywhere that you can find podcasts, yeah, there's like weird. I've even like just looked up podcast platforms and found something I never heard of before. Looked up our show on there, boom, it pops up.

SPEAKER_02 52:56

Boom. So, right guys, like we said, you can it's harder to not find it.

SPEAKER_03 52:59

So if you're not watching, you're not listening, then you might be a real son of a bitch. You gotta get watched and listening. Yeah. Or one or the other. I know. Do both. Just do both. Or do both.

SPEAKER_02 53:07

Yeah. Sometimes our show is good enough to listen to twice because you might pick up on something you didn't pick up on.

SPEAKER_03 53:14

There's a lot of nuance here. There's a lot of something here. Was that pretty much it?

SPEAKER_02 53:19

I think that's that's pretty much it.

SPEAKER_03 53:21

I think it was a solid episode. Uh glad you watched a good movie. I'm glad you gave it. I mean, I thought it was a good movie. I'm glad you enjoyed it.

SPEAKER_02 53:28

I did enjoy it. I uh I look forward to the next one because you've been on a killer streak here.

SPEAKER_03 53:32

There we go. I know I kind of sewered you a little bit on the last one, but you know, honestly, I'm still glad I watched that movie because I didn't know that a movie could be that bad. That bad. You know what? Sounds good. Fair enough.

SPEAKER_02 53:45

I think that's I think that that about does it. Edgar's got nothing to say because we won't let him. So yeah.

SPEAKER_03 53:50

Play us out. Harold. See you next week, folks.
