Transcript
- 0:00All right, I'm recording with the external microphone, and I'm getting the up and down. 00:04 --> 00:05 All right, I'm recording as well. 00:11 --> 00:12 All right, we're going the distance. 00:13 --> 00:18 Going the distance. We don't know what episode number this is, but we know where we're at. 00:18 --> 00:47 We just had the Nikki and Rocky. They had their little powwow. They dealt with their issues of abandonment and beginning of a new bromance. 00:47 --> 00:51 We are doing take two. How many takes do you think Rocky did? 00:52 --> 00:56 Yeah, that's a great point there, Ruben. This is our attempt at recording. 00:57 --> 00:57 This episode. 00:59 --> 01:02 Let's just say the first half hour, gold, Jerry. Gold. 01:02 --> 01:03 Gold. Gold. 01:03 --> 01:07 No, it probably wasn't even that good. We probably would have edited half of that out. 01:07 --> 01:10 So let's just say, hey, guys, we're here. We're going the distance. 01:12 --> 01:15 I'm Ryan, by the way. We haven't done that recently. 01:15 --> 01:18 I'm Ryan. The voice you hear? Ryan. 01:18 --> 01:20 The voice you're hearing now? Ruben. 01:21 --> 01:21 Ruben. 01:24 --> 01:26 You know, if you say a word over and over again, it sounds weird. 01:26 --> 01:27 Yes. 01:27 --> 01:27 Ruben. 01:27 --> 01:27 Ruben. 01:28 --> 01:28 Ruben. 01:28 --> 01:30 I don't think people have to say your name over and over again. 01:31 --> 01:32 Oh, my goodness. 01:32 --> 01:34 You know what Ruben actually means? 01:34 --> 01:36 A clear Scotch tape. 01:37 --> 01:38 Well, that's not... 01:38 --> 01:39 No, it's true. 01:40 --> 01:41 I have, as you know, I work with French people. 01:42 --> 01:43 Yes, I'm aware of that. 01:43 --> 01:45 And I showed them your name. 01:45 --> 01:45 Uh-huh. 01:46 --> 01:46 And they're like, yeah. 01:47 --> 01:49 It would be like saying, does Xerox copy something? 01:49 --> 01:53 When they see the word Ruben, they actually think, pass me the Ruben. 01:53 --> 01:54 They wouldn't give me a sandwich. 01:55 --> 01:58 Yes, but there's words and names in different languages. 01:59 --> 02:00 But it's not a company. 02:01 --> 02:02 I know it's not a company. 02:02 --> 02:02 Okay. 02:03 --> 02:04 But I think it's cool, though. 02:04 --> 02:07 When you have a unique name, you hear about it all the time. 02:07 --> 02:08 Sure. 02:08 --> 02:09 Like, we've known each other for a while. 02:10 --> 02:10 A few years. 02:10 --> 02:12 And you're having a conversation with me about my name. 02:13 --> 02:13 Yes. 02:16 --> 02:17 There's nothing wrong with that. 02:17 --> 02:21 I think it's interesting that every time I see Scotch tape... 02:21 --> 02:22 Oh, yeah. 02:22 --> 02:24 I see my name and people take pictures of it. 02:24 --> 02:26 Hey, Scotch tape. 02:27 --> 02:27 Mine is Ryan Vending. 02:28 --> 02:31 That's a very popular vending company in BC, Victoria. 02:32 --> 02:32 Yeah. 02:32 --> 02:34 Ruben generally means bright. 02:34 --> 02:35 Oh. 02:35 --> 02:37 Is of Indian origin. 02:37 --> 02:38 Generally. 02:38 --> 02:40 For the spelling of my name. 02:40 --> 02:40 Right. 02:40 --> 02:41 R-U-B-A-N. 02:41 --> 02:43 I believe Ryan is king or actually little king. 02:44 --> 02:50 I'm not sure if that means small in stature or small in a small kingdom or a short king. 02:50 --> 02:50 Yeah. 02:51 --> 02:53 For India. 02:53 --> 02:56 When we're saying Indian, we mean from India. 02:56 --> 02:57 Over there, it's a girl's name. 02:58 --> 02:58 Oh. 02:58 --> 03:01 That's a name I never would have thought to call a girl. 03:01 --> 03:01 Ruben. 03:02 --> 03:03 I mean, India might have a variety of names. 03:03 --> 03:04 I wouldn't think it's called anybody. 03:04 --> 03:07 I suspect they would pronounce it a little different. 03:08 --> 03:08 Probably. 03:08 --> 03:09 The nation might be different. 03:09 --> 03:10 Ruben? 03:10 --> 03:15 I used to think Ryan was a very, I wouldn't say masculine name, but I never considered it 03:15 --> 03:16 at all to be a female name. 03:17 --> 03:18 Like our brother Jason. 03:18 --> 03:20 That's a name I don't think will ever be a female name. 03:20 --> 03:21 I could be wrong. 03:21 --> 03:22 Oh, no, no, no. 03:23 --> 03:23 I've... 03:23 --> 03:23 Jason girl? 03:23 --> 03:24 Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. 03:24 --> 03:25 Is no name sacred? 03:27 --> 03:27 Uh... 03:27 --> 03:31 I mean that with all due respect to both genders, but there's just some names... 03:31 --> 03:36 I feel like you can get more boy names to a girl name than girl names to a boy name. 03:36 --> 03:37 Does that make sense? 03:37 --> 03:38 Sure. 03:38 --> 03:40 Well, you know, like the girls... 03:40 --> 03:40 Well, Billy. 03:40 --> 03:41 Billy's both. 03:41 --> 03:41 Yeah. 03:41 --> 03:42 Stacy's both. 03:42 --> 03:43 Jerry's both. 03:43 --> 03:43 Yeah. 03:44 --> 03:44 Steve? 03:45 --> 03:45 That's a very... 03:45 --> 03:46 Have you ever met a girl Steve? 03:47 --> 03:48 No, no. 03:48 --> 03:49 Hey, Steve. 03:50 --> 03:51 You already got the male name. 03:52 --> 03:53 That's actually a good challenge. 03:53 --> 03:56 What names will never be feminized or masculine? 03:57 --> 03:57 Vice versa. 03:58 --> 03:59 Now, this is non-feminist. 03:59 --> 04:00 This is non... 04:00 --> 04:03 There probably will never be a man born... 04:03 --> 04:06 Like born a male and grow up to be a man. 04:06 --> 04:07 The traditional sense. 04:07 --> 04:07 Sure. 04:08 --> 04:09 And be called Mildred. 04:10 --> 04:12 Oh, that Johnny Cash song. 04:12 --> 04:13 Boy Named Sue. 04:13 --> 04:14 Boy Named Sue. 04:14 --> 04:14 Boy Named Sue. 04:14 --> 04:15 Great song. 04:15 --> 04:16 Great story. 04:16 --> 04:16 Yes. 04:16 --> 04:17 It's a fun, fun song. 04:17 --> 04:17 Yeah. 04:18 --> 04:21 So, yeah, they had their little Mending the Fence. 04:21 --> 04:22 And Billy. 04:22 --> 04:23 Hey, Mickey. 04:23 --> 04:23 You're so fine. 04:24 --> 04:24 You blow my mind. 04:24 --> 04:24 Hey, Mickey. 04:25 --> 04:26 Hey, Mickey. 04:26 --> 04:28 Oh, but Mickey Mouse is a boy. 04:28 --> 04:29 No, there's the song. 04:29 --> 04:30 Hey, Mickey. 04:30 --> 04:30 You're so fine. 04:31 --> 04:31 You blow... 04:31 --> 04:32 It's on Wayne's World. 04:33 --> 04:34 What are you talking about?

05:04 --> 05:05 Which I'm sure you go by Mickey. 05:05 --> 05:06 Uh-huh. 05:06 --> 05:08 And then it's also a girl's name. 05:09 --> 05:09 Mickey. 05:09 --> 05:11 Oh, I thought Nicky would be a girl's name. 05:11 --> 05:12 I never heard Mickey. 05:12 --> 05:13 Is the song Nicky? 05:13 --> 05:14 You're so fine? 05:14 --> 05:16 No, it's Mickey referring to Mickey Mouse. 05:17 --> 05:19 That song's not referring to Mickey Mouse. 05:20 --> 05:21 Hey, Mickey. 05:21 --> 05:22 You're so fine. 05:22 --> 05:23 You blow my mind. 05:23 --> 05:24 Hey, Mickey. 05:24 --> 05:25 Oh, boy. 05:25 --> 05:26 Definitely Google it. 05:26 --> 05:27 Oh, my gosh. 05:28 --> 05:29 We'll edit it if I'm wrong. 05:29 --> 05:30 I feel... 05:30 --> 05:30 Oh. 05:35 --> 05:35 Oh. 05:36 --> 05:37 There's my childhood right there. 05:39 --> 05:40 So, go ahead and see. 05:40 --> 05:41 Hey, Mickey. 05:41 --> 05:41 Mickey, you're so fine. 05:41 --> 05:42 You blow my mind. 05:43 --> 05:44 Oh, Mickey. 05:44 --> 05:45 You're so fine. 05:45 --> 05:45 You're so fine. 05:45 --> 05:46 You blow my mind. 05:46 --> 05:47 Hey, Mickey. 05:47 --> 05:48 Hey, Mickey. 05:49 --> 05:50 Oh, Mickey. 05:50 --> 05:51 You're so fine. 05:51 --> 05:52 You're so fine. 05:52 --> 05:52 You blow my mind. 05:52 --> 05:53 Hey, Mickey. 05:54 --> 05:54 Hey, Mickey. 05:54 --> 05:54 All right. 05:54 --> 05:55 The song's called Mickey. 05:55 --> 05:59 The singer is Tony Basil, and it has nothing to do with Mickey Mouse. 05:59 --> 06:04 She originally was going to call the song Kitty, to think the song about a man. 06:04 --> 06:09 She had a crush on Mickey from The Monkees, the singer from The Monkees. 06:09 --> 06:09 Oh. 06:10 --> 06:10 Mick. 06:11 --> 06:11 Yeah. 06:11 --> 06:14 All that being said, my confusion stands. 06:15 --> 06:17 Still referring to Mickey, a male character. 06:17 --> 06:22 Well, I think that because I know the song from Wayne's World, with Wayne and Garth singing 06:22 --> 06:24 it, or at least Wayne and Campbell singing it. 06:25 --> 06:28 I thought it was about a girl named Mickey, not a man named Mickey. 06:28 --> 06:29 Oh, okay. 06:29 --> 06:31 So, this is probably just edited out. 06:32 --> 06:33 We'll keep parts of it. 06:33 --> 06:33 You'll see. 06:35 --> 06:36 Alright. Wow. 06:50 --> 06:51 So names. 06:52 --> 06:53 Names. Yeah, wow. 06:54 --> 06:56 Alright, so let's do a part of the movie 06:56 --> 06:58 that's iconic in all the movies, Ruben. 06:59 --> 07:00 The stairs. 07:00 --> 07:01 The stairs. 07:02 --> 07:05 I've never had the privilege yet to go to the stairs. 07:05 --> 07:06 Let me tell you, I have. 07:06 --> 07:08 Oh, by all means. 07:08 --> 07:10 This was, what, eight years ago? 07:10 --> 07:13 Yeah, yeah. Eight years ago, 07:13 --> 07:16 I took my new bride to the East Coast on our honeymoon, 07:16 --> 07:17 and we ran up the stairs. 07:18 --> 07:23 She did not have the emotional attachment that we have to it. 07:23 --> 07:24 Has that since been rectified? 07:24 --> 07:26 Has she seen Rocky now? 07:26 --> 07:27 Should we just ask her? 07:27 --> 07:28 It's up to you. 07:28 --> 07:29 Hey, Faith? 07:29 --> 07:30 This is my wife, Faith. 07:31 --> 07:31 Oh. 07:33 --> 07:36 Now, what do you remember from our honeymoon that has to do with Rocky? 07:37 --> 07:37 Really? 07:38 --> 07:40 Did you guys punch each other a lot or something? 07:41 --> 07:42 On our honeymoon? 07:43 --> 07:44 Yeah, on our honeymoon. 07:45 --> 07:46 Did you take off your hat and glasses? 07:48 --> 07:49 Oh, yeah, the statue. 07:49 --> 07:54 We went to Philadelphia, and we found the statue. 07:54 --> 07:55 We went on the steps. 07:55 --> 07:55 Yes. 07:56 --> 07:58 Yeah, we did the big run, and it was lots of fun. 07:59 --> 08:00 Clearly? 08:00 --> 08:00 Clearly? 08:01 --> 08:01 I don't know. 08:01 --> 08:07 So here's Ryan, my brother over here, and here's my lovely wife, Faith. 08:07 --> 08:10 Have you even seen Rocky at that point? 08:10 --> 08:11 No. 08:11 --> 08:12 Did you know what Rocky was? 08:13 --> 08:13 Yes. 08:13 --> 08:14 Okay. 08:14 --> 08:15 Have you seen Rocky since then? 08:15 --> 08:16 Yes. 08:16 --> 08:16 Okay. 08:17 --> 08:23 How do you feel, Ryan, with you being a super fan, never even came close? 08:23 --> 08:27 And then here is my wife, who forgot what we did on our honeymoon. 08:28 --> 08:28 Amazing. 08:29 --> 08:30 Oh, yeah, you all heard that. 08:31 --> 08:32 So how do you feel about that? 08:32 --> 08:38 I mean, I'm happy that she has seen Rocky since the stairs. 08:41 --> 08:45 You actually got to see, you could say, hey, I've been on those stairs. 08:45 --> 08:49 So there's a few people can say they've been on the stairs first. 08:49 --> 08:50 Yeah, but she could barely see it. 08:50 --> 08:51 She forgot. 08:52 --> 08:53 We're trying to help. 08:53 --> 08:54 We're trying to salvage this. 08:55 --> 08:59 I'm trying to glean something off this. 08:59 --> 09:00 But what did you think of Rocky? 09:00 --> 09:01 Have you seen the first one? 09:01 --> 09:03 Yes, I saw the first one and the last one. 09:03 --> 09:04 And I thought it was fantastic. 09:04 --> 09:08 We actually thought about naming, or if we had a son, we were going to name him Rocky. 09:09 --> 09:09 Wow. 09:09 --> 09:14 Because it was so inspirational about how you just go for it and don't give up. 09:15 --> 09:16 And, yeah, stuff happens. 09:16 --> 09:17 And you just keep trying. 09:17 --> 09:18 You keep moving. 09:18 --> 09:21 You keep pushing no matter who's there or who's not there. 09:21 --> 09:23 And it's truly inspirational. 09:23 --> 09:26 I think that's what a lot of people should inspire to do. 09:26 --> 09:27 There you go, folks. 09:28 --> 09:31 I think the word you're wanting is aspire to do. 09:31 --> 09:31 Aspire to do? 09:31 --> 09:32 Yeah. 09:33 --> 09:33 Good job. 09:34 --> 09:36 So that's great. 09:36 --> 09:38 So you got to be on the steps. 09:39 --> 09:39 See you later. 09:40 --> 09:41 You're dismissed. 09:41 --> 09:41 Thank you, Faith. 09:42 --> 09:43 Carry on. 09:44 --> 09:47 Well, you know, that's great that she got to run the steps, seen the movie. 09:48 --> 09:52 And we see there a real live reaction to the power of Rocky. 09:53 --> 09:53 Yeah. 09:53 --> 09:54 Somebody who's even... 09:54 --> 09:59 It's fine to say she's a casual fan of the movie, but she still remembers the spirit of the movie, 09:59 --> 10:03 I've never given up, the tenaciousness that Rocky inspires in people. 10:04 --> 10:05 Touches the hearts of many. 10:06 --> 10:06 Yeah. 10:06 --> 10:06 Yeah. 10:06 --> 10:07 It absolutely does. 10:08 --> 10:09 So, yeah, it was a fun experience. 10:09 --> 10:11 For me to do it, it was, like, amazing. 10:11 --> 10:13 It was the... 10:13 --> 10:16 I don't know the quality of film of the first Rocky. 10:16 --> 10:17 That's in my... 10:17 --> 10:20 When I think of the steps, I think of that quality of a film. 10:20 --> 10:22 Going there and just seeing it. 10:22 --> 10:23 It was a beautiful summer day. 10:24 --> 10:24 It was... 10:24 --> 10:29 On our Facebook page, we'll post a picture of Faith and I at the Rocky statue and going up the stairs. 10:29 --> 10:29 That'd be awesome. 10:29 --> 10:30 And all that. 10:30 --> 10:33 But, yeah, it was cool to do that. 10:33 --> 10:34 I'd love to do it again. 10:35 --> 10:35 I'd love... 10:35 --> 10:37 Like, truly, I would love to do it again. 10:38 --> 10:46 In fact, we'll be interviewing Mike, who does the tours in Philadelphia, and he's quite famous for doing that. 10:46 --> 10:55 He's also a Rocky impersonator, both embodies the spirit of Rocky, the character, and his mannerisms, and does the tour as the Rocky character in Philadelphia. 10:55 --> 10:57 And the stairs, of course, is a highlight. 10:57 --> 11:00 And we'll post a link to his page on this episode. 11:00 --> 11:05 But if you go to his page, just by looking at the guy, you'll know that he's the real deal. 11:06 --> 11:10 You'll know that this is the type of person that you want to spend the day with. 11:10 --> 11:11 Yeah, he's a great guy. 11:12 --> 11:13 I can't say enough good things about him. 11:13 --> 11:15 It's going to be a great interview, so stand by for that one, folks. 11:15 --> 11:17 Interesting little trivia here. 11:17 --> 11:22 This is just out of the top of my head, so bear with me, those TV and film fanatics who might call me out on this. 11:23 --> 11:29 But this stair scene, when Rocky went up the stairs, this was the first use of the Steadicam. 11:29 --> 11:30 Yes. 11:30 --> 11:30 Yeah. 11:31 --> 11:34 And so the Steadicam itself was invented for this movie. 11:35 --> 11:40 And it was, of course, it's been modified over the years, obviously, in 40 years. 11:40 --> 11:46 But the idea was, is when Rocky goes up those steps, you'll notice that the filming is very steady. 11:47 --> 11:53 The individual next to Stallone is walking up and or running up with Sylvester as he's going up and down the stairs. 11:53 --> 11:54 And there's no jostling. 11:54 --> 11:55 There's no bump at it. 11:55 --> 11:59 Because, you know, you try to film, put your hand, put your camera in your hand around up the stairs, it's going to move. 12:00 --> 12:04 They used that footage to sell the technology of the camera. 12:04 --> 12:05 That's right. 12:05 --> 12:13 Isn't that amazing, Ruben, that here's an individual who creates a script, sells the script, and inspires millions of people to better their lives. 12:14 --> 12:14 Yeah. 12:14 --> 12:15 Because of a movie. 12:16 --> 12:18 But at the same time, technology is sort of advanced by this movie. 12:18 --> 12:21 Now, it's not to say that a Steadicam would never have been invented. 12:21 --> 12:22 But this is where it got used. 12:22 --> 12:23 But this is where it got used for the first time. 12:24 --> 12:31 So it's just amazing to me the snowball effect that this movie has on generations of people and on the film industry itself. 12:31 --> 12:37 Now, the one thing I liked about the stairs scene at the very beginning of the film was the first attempt that he had at the stairs. 12:38 --> 12:39 He was in pain. 12:40 --> 12:41 He was really hurt. 12:41 --> 12:42 And he couldn't really do it very well. 12:43 --> 12:46 And anyone that's tried a workout for the first time has experienced that. 12:46 --> 12:49 The first attempt at anything, it sucks at first. 12:49 --> 12:54 But then you get so good at it that it's something that you end up almost craving. 12:54 --> 12:55 They call that the runner's high. 12:55 --> 12:56 I'm a runner myself. 12:56 --> 12:57 Yeah. 12:57 --> 12:58 And I know when I don't run, I feel guilt. 12:59 --> 13:01 Like, I could have run today. 13:01 --> 13:03 My body could have experienced a sweat. 13:03 --> 13:08 It could have experienced that feel-good feeling of sweating because you're working your body. 13:09 --> 13:09 Absolutely. 13:09 --> 13:14 But the first time I ran the distance I do run now, the first time I ran that distance, it killed me. 13:15 --> 13:15 And my time was terrible. 13:16 --> 13:20 But over the years, not only has it not killed me, my time gets better. 13:20 --> 13:20 What distance do you run? 13:21 --> 13:24 Well, due to time, conflict with the family. 13:24 --> 13:27 I don't mean conflict, but just because I have a busy life at home, I can't go running for four hours every day. 13:28 --> 13:30 So I just run about 40, 45 minutes, 40 minutes a day. 13:30 --> 13:37 But it's about six, almost seven kilometers, which is about four, four and a half miles a day when I do run. 13:37 --> 13:37 Good for you. 13:37 --> 13:39 It's just a good pace where I'm sweating. 13:39 --> 13:40 It feels good. 13:40 --> 13:42 It doesn't take a lot of time away from home. 13:42 --> 13:47 But you get that workout, you burn anywhere from 600 to 800 calories, depending on whatever the app decides for that day. 13:47 --> 13:49 But it's, yeah, it's a great little workout. 13:50 --> 13:54 Do you run with silence, podcast, or music? 13:54 --> 13:55 Great question. 13:55 --> 13:58 I know we talked earlier in the recording that didn't work. 13:58 --> 14:00 We'll just gloss over this really quickly. 14:00 --> 14:03 I don't actually listen to music anymore to pump myself up. 14:04 --> 14:16 But side note, they have done a study that the artist that pumps you up the most through measuring people's heart rates and what they burn for calories during this individual's playing of music was Eminem. 14:17 --> 14:21 Eminem produces the best results for your workout performance. 14:22 --> 14:25 Or you could say, maybe listen to Celine Dion's My Heart Will Go On. 14:26 --> 14:30 It might not produce the same energy as Eminem's. 14:31 --> 14:31 I can see why. 14:32 --> 14:33 It's the song you mentioned earlier. 14:33 --> 14:33 Lose Yourself. 14:33 --> 14:34 Lose Yourself. 14:34 --> 14:34 Thank you. 14:34 --> 14:35 You can hear your head right now. 14:35 --> 14:37 Once you said the title, I can hear the title. 14:37 --> 14:37 Oh, yeah. 14:37 --> 14:37 Yeah. 14:37 --> 14:38 Lose Yourself. 14:38 --> 14:39 In the music. 14:39 --> 14:41 The moment you own it. 14:41 --> 14:42 You better never let it go. 14:43 --> 14:44 You only get one shot. 14:44 --> 14:46 Do not miss your chance to blow. 14:46 --> 14:48 This opportunity comes once in a lifetime. 14:48 --> 14:50 You better lose your self. 14:50 --> 14:50 In the music. 14:51 --> 14:52 The moment you own it. 14:52 --> 14:53 You better never let it go. 14:54 --> 14:55 You only get one shot. 14:55 --> 14:56 So it's a great song. 14:56 --> 14:57 It gets you pumped. 14:57 --> 14:59 You hear that song, I feel like I could jump rope. 14:59 --> 15:05 And Rocky, I know a lot of people, when I do a hashtag search of Rocky on Twitter or Facebook, 15:05 --> 15:09 just to kind of see what people are talking about regarding Rocky, it's funny. 15:09 --> 15:15 Almost every day, you'll see someone say, I'm training, or I'm working out today, or I need an inspiration today. 15:15 --> 15:16 It happens every day. 15:16 --> 15:17 Oh, absolutely. 15:17 --> 15:22 And they'll hashtag a training montage, or the Going to Fly Now song. 15:22 --> 15:26 So music really does, obviously, pump you up. 15:26 --> 15:30 And Bill Conti's music for the movies and the training montages certainly do that. 15:31 --> 15:34 So the stairs, great scene, iconic throughout all the movies. 15:34 --> 15:38 While you just said that, I just hashtagged on Facebook, Going to Fly Now. 15:38 --> 15:40 There's a thousand things that came up. 15:40 --> 15:41 Yeah, it's amazing. 15:42 --> 15:43 Right now, it's Sherry Ann. 15:43 --> 15:44 Hey, Sherry. 15:44 --> 15:45 All right, friends. 15:45 --> 15:46 It's Motivation Monday. 15:46 --> 15:49 Time to get out there and start walking, lifting, and running steps. 15:49 --> 15:50 I have a tiger. 15:50 --> 15:52 Hashtag, hashtag, hearts on fire. 15:52 --> 15:53 Wow. 15:53 --> 15:54 Hashtag, Going to Fly Now. 15:54 --> 15:54 Wow. 15:55 --> 15:58 Yes, that is a Rocky Balboa t-shirt I am wearing. 15:58 --> 15:58 Wow. 15:59 --> 16:03 Sherry, if you're not listening to this podcast, we'd not only just shout out your Twitter account. 16:03 --> 16:04 No, Twitter, Facebook. 16:04 --> 16:05 My fault is your Facebook. 16:06 --> 16:07 Who is Sherry Ann from? 16:07 --> 16:08 Sherry Ann? 16:08 --> 16:08 I don't know where she's from. 16:09 --> 16:10 But good for you, Sherry. 16:10 --> 16:11 I mean, that's fantastic. 16:12 --> 16:16 I tell you, as

motivated and pumped up. 16:21 --> 16:22 Sherry Ann is a doctor. 16:22 --> 16:22 She's a chiropractor. 16:23 --> 16:25 Singer, speaker, writer, actress. 16:25 --> 16:25 Oh. 16:26 --> 16:28 But most of all, servant of God. 16:28 --> 16:29 Good for her. 16:29 --> 16:30 Bless your heart, Sherry. 16:31 --> 16:35 Now we get to one of the best scenes of the movie. 16:35 --> 16:41 The one that's often maybe lampooned slash mimicked or referenced. 16:41 --> 16:47 It's so referenced, actually, that Stallone kind of jokingly did it in the movie called Grudge Match. 16:48 --> 16:48 Yeah. 16:48 --> 16:48 You know. 16:48 --> 16:51 By the way, Grudge Match was such a great film. 16:52 --> 16:52 Great film. 16:53 --> 16:53 Underrated. 16:54 --> 16:56 Not really panned by critics per se. 16:57 --> 16:58 I don't know what it was. 16:58 --> 17:00 It could have done better at the box office for whatever reason. 17:00 --> 17:01 It didn't. 17:01 --> 17:03 It was a complete stinker in the sense of both with critics and fans. 17:04 --> 17:05 But I think when you, it's actually a holiday movie. 17:06 --> 17:07 I consider it a holiday movie now. 17:07 --> 17:08 Oh, we saw it Christmas day together. 17:08 --> 17:09 We saw it Christmas day together. 17:09 --> 17:09 Yeah. 17:09 --> 17:12 And it was on the movie channel last Christmas. 17:12 --> 17:13 And I turned it on. 17:13 --> 17:14 I thought, this is a great movie for Christmas. 17:15 --> 17:15 It is. 17:15 --> 17:20 So there's a scene in Grudge Match where Rocky, oh my goodness, sorry. 17:20 --> 17:22 Stallone's character, I forget his name in the movie. 17:22 --> 17:23 My apologies. 17:23 --> 17:26 He's around meat, hanging meat or something. 17:26 --> 17:28 And he just walks by and he's about to punch it. 17:28 --> 17:33 Just out of like, you know, the way you'd punch a wall, like shadow box a wall or a mirror. 17:34 --> 17:41 He was going to punch the meat and his older friend slash trainer basically said, hey, cut it out. 17:43 --> 17:47 Kind of a, it's funny how the life imitating art aren't imitating life. 17:47 --> 17:51 So here's Stallone who played Rocky, getting called out by, you know, a character. 17:51 --> 17:55 But the character in the movie isn't Rocky, but Stallone playing both characters. 17:55 --> 17:55 Like, is that funny? 17:56 --> 17:57 Like, Stallone's like, oh yeah, what am I doing? 17:58 --> 17:58 Kind of thing. 17:58 --> 17:59 So it's great. 17:59 --> 18:05 Even Stallone, you know, can understand how iconic this role or sorry, this scene is that 18:05 --> 18:07 even he lampoons it himself in a movie. 18:08 --> 18:11 So we get to the meat factory and this is after Rocky's run. 18:11 --> 18:22 So we're, we're to understand that after every time Rocky runs at the end of his run, he goes to Pauly's meat factory and to get like a slab of meat or bacon or something to take home and cook for breakfast. 18:22 --> 18:27 So he goes in there and Pauly's there in one of his moods, of course, preparing the meat for Rocky. 18:27 --> 18:29 They're just doing some light chit chat. 18:29 --> 18:32 And Pauly says, how are things going with my sister? 18:32 --> 18:33 How, how are things going? 18:34 --> 18:35 And Rocky's kind of like, oh, things are great. 18:36 --> 18:36 She's got gaps. 18:37 --> 18:39 And then Pauly goes, gaps, what are gaps? 18:40 --> 18:41 Rocky does that classic line. 18:42 --> 18:55 That's a great Valentine's Day card. 18:55 --> 19:02 You can say that to your wife, you know, or your, or your boyfriend or husband that together you, you even each other out, you complete each other. 19:02 --> 19:12 That's a great way of saying, I've always loved that metaphor that they both have gaps that they fill and gaps, as you know, it was just something from one point to another that needs to be, 19:12 --> 19:14 bridged and they can bridge it for each other. 19:14 --> 19:17 Now, when Rocky wrote this, his gaps weren't being filled. 19:17 --> 19:21 Sorry, when Rocky wrote this, when Stallone wrote this, he was solo. 19:21 --> 19:22 Correct. 19:22 --> 19:25 But he just recently had broken up with his wife. 19:25 --> 19:30 And so you got to think of, he's writing about somebody looking for love. 19:30 --> 19:30 Right. 19:31 --> 19:35 From the place of knowing that he himself has gaps. 19:36 --> 19:36 Yes. 19:37 --> 19:38 And everybody wants to have somebody. 19:38 --> 19:39 To complete them. 19:39 --> 19:39 Yeah. 19:40 --> 19:45 I love the idea that Rocky doesn't consider himself the perfect catch or the perfect guy that he acknowledges completely. 19:45 --> 19:49 Hey, I've got things that need completing in my life. 19:49 --> 19:50 And so does she. 19:50 --> 19:51 But together it works. 19:52 --> 20:02 And that's why two people who can seemingly not get along in a relationship, those same two individuals can go with somebody else, but just get along royally. 20:02 --> 20:03 And that's just human nature. 20:04 --> 20:08 There's just some people who just don't get along and it doesn't make one person wrong and one person right. 20:08 --> 20:10 They just don't fill those gaps. 20:10 --> 20:14 They pull, they're polarizing characters with each other, but they go with somebody else and it just works. 20:15 --> 20:18 My wife and I were at a supper at a friend's house. 20:18 --> 20:21 I guess I kind of get to know you type of a couple supper. 20:21 --> 20:22 Right. 20:22 --> 20:29 And during it, the wife of the other couple says to me, we could never be married. 20:29 --> 20:30 Wow. 20:32 --> 20:35 You should have said, well, that's true because I'm married right now. 20:35 --> 20:36 Yeah. 20:36 --> 20:36 Like, I. 20:38 --> 20:39 But I get what she's saying. 20:39 --> 20:47 She looks at you, I guess, and says, in whatever world we would have been married in if that world existed, that alternate universe. 20:47 --> 20:48 Yeah. 20:48 --> 20:49 It wouldn't work out. 20:49 --> 20:52 Well, you know, she's a chatty Kathy. 20:52 --> 20:52 Sure. 20:53 --> 20:54 My wife is not. 20:54 --> 20:54 Okay. 20:55 --> 20:57 I, you know, I've, you know, been with this podcast here. 20:57 --> 20:59 Clearly I'm okay talking. 20:59 --> 20:59 Yes, you are. 21:00 --> 21:03 It's interesting how your friend had to mention, make mention of that. 21:03 --> 21:07 I can't imagine her husband really liking that comment. 21:07 --> 21:12 Like, if my wife said to another man, you and I just couldn't be married. 21:13 --> 21:15 It's an underhanded, underhanded is not the right word. 21:16 --> 21:21 It's a weird insult because you're saying, are you saying that because I drive you crazy already? 21:22 --> 21:24 I might, you can't. 21:24 --> 21:25 Like, we had a good time. 21:25 --> 21:26 We've done stuff since then. 21:26 --> 21:27 That type of thing. 21:27 --> 21:28 And she's just amazing. 21:28 --> 21:30 We're better off as, it's not you, it's me. 21:30 --> 21:31 We're better off as friends. 21:32 --> 21:33 Oh, good thing. 21:33 --> 21:34 Because I got two kids and. 21:34 --> 21:35 That's funny. 21:36 --> 21:38 Well, at least you, at least you got invited over for supper. 21:39 --> 21:39 Yeah, but, okay. 21:40 --> 21:51 With, with Paulie, the questions that, that he had, obviously they're, they're disadvantaged economically, academically, socially. 21:52 --> 21:54 Life isn't going tremendous for them. 21:55 --> 21:56 No, they're having a hard time. 21:56 --> 21:58 I mean, brother and sister living together, paying the bills together. 21:59 --> 22:01 Paulie's about 10 years older, we figure. 22:01 --> 22:05 Obviously, we talked earlier that he probably raised her from a young age. 22:05 --> 22:08 We don't know the station of the parents, where they are in this picture. 22:09 --> 22:10 When have they been out of the picture? 22:11 --> 22:11 Paulie's a bit of a drunk. 22:12 --> 22:12 Oh, yeah. 22:12 --> 22:12 He's a drunk. 22:12 --> 22:14 He took the drink probably early. 22:15 --> 22:18 So he's asking Rocky, you know, so he's packaged the meat. 22:18 --> 22:21 He's asked the question, you know, how are things going through my sister? 22:22 --> 22:24 Rocky responds, we're getting along really well, actually. 22:24 --> 22:25 Things are going really well. 22:26 --> 22:27 And Paulie goes on the attack now. 22:28 --> 22:29 He says, I don't get it, he says. 22:29 --> 22:30 I don't get it. 22:30 --> 22:31 What do you see in my sister? 22:31 --> 22:35 I guess that's the point why I was bringing up the economic disadvantage and all that. 22:35 --> 22:38 Is the self-esteem has got to be rock bottom. 22:38 --> 22:38 Sure. 22:39 --> 22:42 Yeah, he's close to 40 and packaging meat for a boxer. 22:43 --> 22:43 Yeah. 22:43 --> 22:46 So let's say she's 30, you know, 15-ish. 22:46 --> 22:48 That's when boys start to show interest. 22:49 --> 22:54 Clearly, it hasn't happened for half of her life or her whole entire kind of dateable life. 22:54 --> 22:55 So there's some question marks here. 22:56 --> 22:57 Yeah, and I wonder what his... 22:57 --> 22:58 That's a good point. 22:58 --> 23:01 So is he asking from a place of legitimately... 23:02 --> 23:03 That's a good point. 23:03 --> 23:05 Is he asking as a protective brother? 23:06 --> 23:10 He may be asking like, hey, what do you see in my sister to make sure you're not... 23:11 --> 23:13 But then he goes weirder. 23:13 --> 23:15 Because he says, I don't get it. 23:15 --> 23:15 What do you see in my sister? 23:16 --> 23:17 What's the attraction? 23:18 --> 23:20 And the Rockies responded with the gaps thing. 23:21 --> 23:23 But then Paulie says... 23:23 --> 23:24 You ballin' home? 23:25 --> 23:25 Hey. 23:26 --> 23:28 Hey, you don't talk dirty about your sister. 23:31 --> 23:32 Will you screw my sister? 23:35 --> 23:36 You see? 23:37 --> 23:38 That's why I can't connect you with Gazze. 23:39 --> 23:39 You know that, Paulie? 23:39 --> 23:41 Because you got a big mouth. 23:41 --> 23:42 You know, you just talk too much. 23:43 --> 23:45 Getting cold in here. 23:45 --> 23:46 I don't think I'm going home. 23:46 --> 23:46 All in here? 23:47 --> 23:48 I can't call her hair. 23:48 --> 23:49 It stinks, man. 23:49 --> 23:50 You stink. 23:50 --> 23:52 Rocky then gets... 23:53 --> 23:55 Very rarely does the Rocky character kind of get angry. 23:55 --> 23:56 Like that anger. 23:57 --> 23:58 He's usually a softy. 23:59 --> 23:59 Joking. 24:00 --> 24:01 But hey, when it comes to the woman and family, 24:01 --> 24:05 that's the one time we kind of see Rocky say, hey, come on, man. 24:06 --> 24:08 So he tells Paulie, at this point, 24:08 --> 24:10 you know, Paulie, this is why I don't set you up with Gazze. 24:11 --> 24:12 Go back to the Gazze character. 24:12 --> 24:14 Because throughout the movie now, 24:14 --> 24:16 Paulie has kept pestering Rocky for the Gazze deal 24:16 --> 24:18 to work on the dogs collecting money. 24:19 --> 24:22 Rocky says, this is why I don't set you up with Gazze. 24:22 --> 24:24 It's because you got a big mouth, essentially. 24:25 --> 24:26 And you just did it with me. 24:26 --> 24:27 And this is somebody that you're close with. 24:28 --> 24:29 You know, what are you going to do with people 24:29 --> 24:30 that are going to maybe break your thumbs? 24:30 --> 24:31 Yeah. 24:31 --> 24:32 So I don't set you up with Gazze. 24:32 --> 24:33 Maybe one to protect you. 24:33 --> 24:34 And one, because you got a big mouth. 24:35 --> 24:36 You're going to get yourself and other people in trouble. 24:36 --> 24:39 And Paulie goes off the handle here. 24:39 --> 24:42 So Paulie then starts punching the meat first. 24:43 --> 24:44 He goes, I don't need Gazze. 24:44 --> 24:45 He hits the meat a couple times. 24:45 --> 24:46 I don't need you. 24:46 --> 24:48 I don't need this stinking place. 24:48 --> 24:50 And he also says, this place stinks. 24:51 --> 24:55 So Paulie, he's in the same line, unbeknownst to him, 24:55 --> 24:58 that Rocky had said like 24 hours ago about his apartment. 24:58 --> 25:00 So a lot of places stink, apparently, in Philadelphia. 25:01 --> 25:02 The apartment stinks. 25:02 --> 25:03 The meat factory stinks. 25:04 --> 25:05 So Paulie's hitting the thing, you know, 25:05 --> 25:07 hitting the side of the meat with the side of his fist, 25:07 --> 25:08 saying, it stinks in here. 25:09 --> 25:10 It stinks. 25:10 --> 25:12 Rocky, I love it, pushes Paulie back just gently. 25:12 --> 25:14 Just pushes him away from the meat. 25:15 --> 25:17 And Rocky now, in turn, starts punching the meat. 25:18 --> 25:21 Dook, dook, dook, dook, dook, dook, dook, dook. 25:21 --> 25:24 And as he's punching it, you hear a couple of the ribs cracking. 25:25 --> 25:26 The beef ribs cracking. 25:26 --> 25:29 And he's got the meat blood on his hands. 25:30 --> 25:30 And he's holding them. 25:31 --> 25:33 He gently grabs the meat back from Paulie. 25:34 --> 25:34 He says, hey, I'll see you tomorrow. 25:36 --> 25:36 That was it. 25:36 --> 25:37 No words were exchanged. 25:37 --> 25:38 Just punch the meat. 25:40 --> 25:43 That era, at least what I picture of that era, men. 25:44 --> 25:45 Yeah, men being men. 25:45 --> 25:48 Just like, I don't have the words, but I can punch this meat. 25:48 --> 25:52 And he just, yeah, so he took out his anger and aggression on an inanimate object, 25:52 --> 25:53 an already dead piece of animal. 25:54 --> 25:54 Yeah, might as well. 25:55 --> 25:55 Tenderized it. 25:55 --> 25:56 Tenderized it. 25:57 --> 25:59 I wonder who bought that meat. 25:59 --> 26:00 Tenderized by Rocky. 26:00 --> 26:01 Somebody did. 26:01 --> 26:01 Somebody probably did. 26:02 --> 26:04 They call up the shop. 26:04 --> 26:06 Hey, whatever you sold me, that was a great cut. 26:07 --> 26:07 Very tender. 26:07 --> 26:09 My wife barely had a hammer, that thing. 26:09 --> 26:11 Rocky may have had a second gig. 26:12 --> 26:18 You know, it's a good thing that Stallone originally was going to, the role of Paulie, 26:18 --> 26:21 was going to be Adrian's Jewish mother. 26:21 --> 26:23 Oh, interesting. 26:23 --> 26:25 But later changed it to being an Italian brother. 26:25 --> 26:28 So that protectiveness, I get it. 26:28 --> 26:28 Yeah. 26:28 --> 26:31 So that protectiveness of my daughter is now my sister. 26:32 --> 26:35 So you probably kept a lot of that relationship bowl. 26:35 --> 26:36 It's not really a word. 26:36 --> 26:37 But the relationship like. 26:38 --> 26:41 It's a, you invented a word. 26:41 --> 26:42 I invented relationship bowl. 26:43 --> 26:43 Wow. 26:43 --> 26:44 Yeah, thank you. 26:45 --> 26:45 What do you call it again? 26:46 --> 26:47 A portmandoo or something? 26:47 --> 26:48 Well, what's the two words? 26:48 --> 26:49 A portmanteau. 26:51 --> 26:53 Relationship bowl would be relationship. 26:54 --> 26:55 Compatible. 26:55 --> 26:56 All right. 26:56 --> 27:01 That's interesting that that's the mother role because we see that relationship of that 27:01 --> 27:03 mothering type personality come through Paulie. 27:03 --> 27:05 So it makes more sense now in a weird way. 27:05 --> 27:11 Or it makes more sense now that we see Paulie acting motherly regarding his questions, regarding 27:11 --> 27:12 his sister. 27:12 --> 27:16 So though it might seem like a weird kind of question coming from a brother, now from a writer's 27:16 --> 27:17 perspective, I see what Stallone did. 27:17 --> 27:21 He just took a lot of that relationship quality of the mother and just kind of instilled it 27:21 --> 27:22 into the brother. 27:22 --> 27:23 Great idea. 27:23 --> 27:29 Yeah, I think it's probably better that he's punching meat and not like kneading some dough. 27:30 --> 27:31 That would be interesting. 27:31 --> 27:32 Some kosher dough. 27:32 --> 27:33 Pounding dough. 27:33 --> 27:34 Yeah, he's in there. 27:34 --> 27:36 He's in there pounding the dough on the counter. 27:38 --> 27:40 But I love the scene after he pounds the meat. 27:40 --> 27:42 He's walking away and he says, I'll see you tomorrow. 27:43 --> 27:46 And Paulie takes a look at the meat, all broken in half and everything. 27:47 --> 27:51 And he says to Rocky, if you do that to Paulie Creed, they're going to put you to waste 27:51 --> 27:51 for murder. 27:53 --> 27:58 Just on a side note, you've never been like formally trained in acting or voice work. 28:01 --> 28:02 True. 28:02 --> 28:04 I've never been trained to act. 28:04 --> 28:06 I've never been trained to do voice impersonations. 28:06 --> 28:07 Oh, wow. 28:07 --> 28:08 I've done my Mickey. 28:08 --> 28:10 I've done my... 28:10 --> 28:12 You should do like a one-man show. 28:12 --> 28:13 Oh, I really should not. 28:15 --> 28:16 But thank you. 28:17 --> 28:17 I would go. 28:18 --> 28:18 I would go. 28:18 --> 28:22 Oh, I'm sure many people would love to see me make a fool of myself on the stage. 28:23 --> 28:25 They're going to have the podcast to listen to. 28:27 --> 28:28 Yeah, anyone else wants to laugh at me. 28:28 --> 28:29 This is your chance. 28:29 --> 28:30 This is the podcast. 28:30 --> 28:30 Yeah. 28:31 --> 28:33 So Rocky goes back home with the meat in hand. 28:33 --> 28:37 And we see the next scene with Adrian taking the bandages off Rocky's hands. 28:37 --> 28:41 being very caring to Rocky and his, you know, workout. 28:42 --> 28:43 And she's going to go kiss him. 28:44 --> 28:45 And Rocky says, you can't kiss me. 28:46 --> 28:47 There's no fooling around before a fight. 28:48 --> 28:49 Listen, kid. 28:49 --> 28:49 You. 28:49 --> 28:51 You lay off that pet shop, Dave. 28:52 --> 28:54 Women weaken legs. 28:56 --> 28:58 Yeah, but I really like this girl, you know. 28:58 --> 28:59 But let her train you. 29:03 --> 29:04 Okay, no more fooling around. 29:05 --> 29:05 Okay. 29:05 --> 29:06 Now, yeah. 29:08 --> 29:10 Women weaken legs, huh? 29:10 --> 29:11 And that was my first time. 29:11 --> 29:13 I'm not a fighter, believe it or not. 29:13 --> 29:16 And I'm not a professional fighter, whether it's wrestling, boxing. 29:16 --> 29:22 But it took multiple viewings, of course, as I got older to understand what that meant. 29:22 --> 29:24 No fooling around before a fight. 29:25 --> 29:28 I would love to talk to a fighter or a trained professional. 29:29 --> 29:31 Maybe one day we'll get one on the podcast. 29:32 --> 29:36 To kind of give us maybe, I would love to know if this fighter, if you're out there listening, 29:37 --> 29:39 we'd love to know, have you fooled around before a fight? 29:39 --> 29:41 And have you not fooled around before a fight? 29:41 --> 29:43 And was your fight performance different? 29:45 --> 29:45 Yeah, absolutely. 29:45 --> 29:47 I'd be very interested to know. 29:47 --> 29:52 Because I guess the theory is, again, I'm not a fighter, but I guess the theory is to keep 29:52 --> 29:55 that pent-up aggression, anger, frustration. 29:56 --> 29:57 That's the only thing I can think of. 29:57 --> 30:02 Because the famous line comes later when Mickey's training Rocky and he's talking about his home problems. 30:03 --> 30:06 Mickey says, you know, enough of the domestic stuff. 30:06 --> 30:10 And Rocky's like, well, you know, this is happening at home type dialogue. 30:10 --> 30:12 And Mickey's like, well, let her train you. 30:13 --> 30:16 You know, so the idea is to stay focused on the fight. 30:16 --> 30:17 Stay focused on the training. 30:17 --> 30:18 Don't worry about home. 30:18 --> 30:20 If you want to talk about home, then let her train you. 30:21 --> 30:23 Then he also says, woman weakened legs. 30:23 --> 30:25 That's another famous line by Mickey. 30:25 --> 30:28 Again, the idea that woman weakened legs. 30:28 --> 30:29 They keep you at your focus. 30:29 --> 30:31 Stay away from them during the training. 30:32 --> 30:39 It'd be interesting to picture Cher as the role of Adrian because she was considered for the role of Adrian. 30:40 --> 30:40 Would they have been able to? 30:40 --> 30:44 She was a very attractive, I mean, it's not ugly now, but posture surgery helps. 30:45 --> 30:46 It can also hurt. 30:46 --> 30:46 Yeah. 30:47 --> 30:47 It does? 30:47 --> 30:48 Yeah. 30:48 --> 30:50 Well, I don't think hers is quite as heavy as some people's. 30:50 --> 30:52 She was quite an attractive woman. 30:52 --> 30:54 Back in the mid-70s. 30:54 --> 30:54 Sure. 30:54 --> 30:55 Oh, yeah, yeah. 30:55 --> 30:58 If you see her singing with her husband, Sonny. 30:58 --> 30:58 Yeah, Sonny Bono. 30:59 --> 30:59 Bono? 30:59 --> 31:00 Is it the same? 31:01 --> 31:02 Is it pronounced the same as Bono? 31:02 --> 31:03 Is it Bono? 31:03 --> 31:05 I think it's Bono and Bono, I think now. 31:05 --> 31:05 Yeah. 31:05 --> 31:06 Anyways, with Sonny. 31:07 --> 31:08 Sonny and Cher. 31:09 --> 31:11 I've seen some YouTube clips in my older years. 31:11 --> 31:12 They're like, oh, I get it. 31:12 --> 31:13 I get it now. 31:13 --> 31:15 She was svelte, thin, tall. 31:16 --> 31:16 Oh, yeah. 31:16 --> 31:17 She was a beautiful woman. 31:17 --> 31:17 Great singer. 31:17 --> 31:18 Beautiful woman, yeah. 31:18 --> 31:20 And I could see her being cast as Adrian. 31:20 --> 31:24 I could see why they would obviously be the big get to get a big name like that. 31:24 --> 31:27 It would have been interesting, again, that I love the alternate universe casting. 31:28 --> 31:30 Burt Reynolds as Rocky. 31:30 --> 31:31 Cher as Adrian. 31:32 --> 31:33 A Jewish mother for Pauly. 31:33 --> 31:34 A whole different film. 31:35 --> 31:35 Yeah, yes. 31:36 --> 31:40 If I was like a billionaire, if I was like Zuckerberg or something like that, I would just hire. 31:41 --> 31:41 I'd hire them now. 31:41 --> 31:42 I'd remake the film. 31:43 --> 31:44 The alternate universe film. 31:44 --> 31:44 Yeah, I've done that too. 31:44 --> 31:45 I've done that too. 31:45 --> 31:46 As their age is up there. 31:47 --> 31:48 I fantasy role played. 31:49 --> 31:49 Let me scratch that. 31:51 --> 31:54 I have fantasized in my head about being that kind of rich. 31:54 --> 31:57 A big budget movie can cost anywhere from $200 million to $300 million nowadays. 31:58 --> 32:02 If you're like Bill Gates rich, $55 billion, you could literally spend $300 million. 32:02 --> 32:04 It wouldn't even make a dent in your life. 32:04 --> 32:04 No. 32:05 --> 32:10 And it would be a quote unquote independent film because you're independently financing this film. 32:10 --> 32:13 So if I went up to a movie company and say, hey, I want to make this film. 32:13 --> 32:14 Well, it's going to cost us $400 million. 32:15 --> 32:15 We can't make this. 32:15 --> 32:16 That's okay. 32:16 --> 32:17 I'm going to pay for all of it. 32:17 --> 32:18 Just make it. 32:18 --> 32:22 Even if I'm the only one that watches it, I want it made for me. 32:22 --> 32:23 Interesting. 32:23 --> 32:24 What type of film would you make? 32:24 --> 32:25 Good question. 32:25 --> 32:26 There's been books that I've read. 32:27 --> 32:28 This is really geeking out here. 32:28 --> 32:30 I'm going to lose you, but maybe not some of my audience. 32:30 --> 32:31 But there's a series out there. 32:31 --> 32:33 Lose yourself like M&M. 32:33 --> 32:34 Yeah, lose yourself. 32:35 --> 32:38 There's a series out there by Robert Jordan called The Wheel of Time. 32:38 --> 32:39 It's just a great fantasy series. 32:40 --> 32:41 And I've always wanted to see it on the big screen. 32:41 --> 32:44 But it would cost easily. 32:44 --> 32:47 Let's just say it costs $500 million to make the whole series. 32:47 --> 32:49 That's a pretty steep budget for a TV show. 32:49 --> 32:53 But that would probably be what it would cost to make 10 seasons worth of this series. 32:53 --> 32:55 But that's what I would love to do. 32:55 --> 32:57 This is what I don't understand about rich people. 32:57 --> 33:00 When you're Bill Gates rich, there's no place you can't visit. 33:01 --> 33:06 There's no item you can't buy because you probably invented it anyways through your products. 33:07 --> 33:09 Why don't they do that more? 33:09 --> 33:11 Why don't they literally say, here's $500 million. 33:12 --> 33:13 I want this series made. 33:13 --> 33:15 If they say, well, no one's going to watch it. 33:15 --> 33:15 It's going to fail. 33:16 --> 33:16 That's okay. 33:17 --> 33:21 They're the type of people that aren't spending their time watching it. 33:21 --> 33:21 I know. 33:22 --> 33:24 I just, but you get what I'm saying? 33:24 --> 33:24 I do. 33:24 --> 33:24 I do. 33:24 --> 33:28 They have the money to literally do whatever they want. 33:28 --> 33:32 So they could actually just create a whole studio just to create their favorite book and 33:32 --> 33:34 do a TV series or a movie depending on the length of the book. 33:34 --> 33:35 And then that's it. 33:35 --> 33:38 If it bombs the box office, it don't matter. 33:39 --> 33:40 Yeah, that would be fun. 33:40 --> 33:40 I would do that. 33:41 --> 33:41 Anyways, that's it. 33:41 --> 33:42 Is there a movie? 33:43 --> 33:44 Eccentric billionaire type of thing. 33:44 --> 33:45 That's exactly what it is. 33:45 --> 33:46 Type of thing. 33:46 --> 33:46 Yeah. 33:46 --> 33:47 Jerry Seinfeld has what? 33:48 --> 33:48 How many Porsches? 33:49 --> 33:50 Like 52? 33:50 --> 33:50 I don't know. 33:50 --> 33:53 He recently sold like 22 million worth of Porsches. 33:53 --> 33:54 I don't know how many Porsches that is. 33:54 --> 33:54 That's what I'm getting at. 33:54 --> 33:56 So they do it all the time. 33:56 --> 34:00 They buy things they don't need and don't want, but they've earned their money and they want 34:00 --> 34:01 to spend it. 34:01 --> 34:04 So they buy cars the same way somebody might buy hockey cars. 34:04 --> 34:04 They buy cars. 34:04 --> 34:09 I don't know why more of them don't do or hire an artist to create an album. 34:09 --> 34:10 Like, oh, I can't make an album. 34:10 --> 34:11 I don't have $5 million. 34:11 --> 34:12 Okay, here's $10 million. 34:13 --> 34:13 Write an album. 34:14 --> 34:14 Yeah. 34:14 --> 34:16 Because people, oh, I'll write music for $10 million. 34:16 --> 34:17 Sure. 34:17 --> 34:18 I'll write something for your artist. 34:18 --> 34:19 Sure. 34:19 --> 34:20 I'll do it for half of that. 34:20 --> 34:23 Bill Gates, if you're listening to this podcast and you want us to improve some of our sound 34:23 --> 34:25 quality and give us some bells and whistles. 34:25 --> 34:26 Sure. 34:26 --> 34:26 Please do. 34:26 --> 34:27 Please do. 34:27 --> 34:27 Yeah. 34:27 --> 34:31 I will say what I would do for a film. 34:31 --> 34:31 Yeah. 34:31 --> 34:33 The other half of the film. 34:33 --> 34:37 Like, there could be, like, instead of a Rocky film, there could be an Adrian film. 34:38 --> 34:39 What's her story? 34:39 --> 34:40 Being on the sidelines. 34:41 --> 34:44 So every time she's off-scene, off-screen, you could tell her story? 34:44 --> 34:44 Yeah. 34:45 --> 34:51 So, like, we don't get the training sequence or the meatpacking, the Mickey stuff, but we 34:51 --> 34:55 get her story at the pet store, dating a boxer. 34:56 --> 34:57 She's having a sore love affair. 34:58 --> 34:58 Yeah, yeah, yeah. 35:00 --> 35:01 We think she's this great girl. 35:02 --> 35:04 But every training montage, she hooks up with somebody. 35:06 --> 35:08 Totally soils the Adrian character. 35:08 --> 35:08 No, I'm just kidding. 35:08 --> 35:10 The movie that I want, not you. 35:10 --> 35:10 Oh, my apologies. 35:11 --> 35:11 Yeah. 35:11 --> 35:14 So we're at the interview now with the newscaster. 35:15 --> 35:16 They're in the meat factory. 35:16 --> 35:22 The newscaster's there to, of course, interview this up-and-coming local star who's getting 35:22 --> 35:23 this big shot at the title. 35:24 --> 35:27 Today we're here with heavyweight challenger Rocky Balboa. 35:27 --> 35:32 The reason we're standing in this refrigerated box is that Mr. Balboa has an unusual method 35:32 --> 35:33 of training. 35:33 --> 35:36 And in a moment, he's going to demonstrate that for the viewing audience at home. 35:37 --> 35:40 But first, Rocky, how did you come to train in an icebox? 35:41 --> 35:46 Well, my friend, the guy over there, he let me in one day and I hit the beef here and I 35:46 --> 35:46 kind of liked it. 35:47 --> 35:50 And since I've become a challenger, the owner don't mind neither that I come in. 35:50 --> 35:52 Is this a common training method? 35:52 --> 35:54 I mean, do other fighters pound raw meat? 35:54 --> 35:56 No, I think I invented it. 35:56 --> 35:59 I love how the, it's interesting how the media spins this. 35:59 --> 36:00 He's done this once before. 36:00 --> 36:03 And it's just Pauly's way of saying, hey, I've got this guy. 36:04 --> 36:05 You know, why don't you come to the factory? 36:05 --> 36:06 You can film him. 36:06 --> 36:07 He comes every morning to pick up meat. 36:08 --> 36:10 Because this was, Rocky was blindsided by this interview. 36:10 --> 36:11 He just came to pick up some meat. 36:11 --> 36:12 He finds out there's a camera crew there. 36:13 --> 36:15 He kind of gets mad at Pauly saying, why are you doing this to me? 36:15 --> 36:16 Why do you always do this stuff to me? 36:17 --> 36:19 I love how he says, always do this stuff to me. 36:19 --> 36:21 Like, how many times has he been interviewed on TV from Pauly? 36:21 --> 36:22 But anyways. 36:22 --> 36:26 So he comes in and Rocky's kind enough to give the reporters their interview. 36:27 --> 36:30 And she says, we're here with Rocky Bobo for this unique training method. 36:31 --> 36:38 And on the other side of the camera, on the TV, we see Apollo Creed's team in an office together 36:38 --> 36:41 talking about how to make this fight flashy and fun for the crowd. 36:41 --> 36:44 The trainer, his name is Tony in the movies. 36:44 --> 36:46 And his name is Tony Burton in real life. 36:46 --> 36:48 And he just recently passed away a few months ago. 36:48 --> 36:48 That's right, he did. 36:49 --> 36:51 He was in the Rockies 1 through 6. 36:51 --> 36:52 Great icon in the movies. 36:53 --> 36:55 And he was only one of three actors to be in all six movies. 36:55 --> 36:57 Him, Stallone, and Burt Young. 36:57 --> 36:58 So he passed away recently. 36:58 --> 36:59 May he rest in peace. 36:59 --> 37:00 Great guy. 37:00 --> 37:01 Loved by the fans of Rocky. 37:02 --> 37:03 So he's looking at the TV. 37:09 --> 37:13 And he said, hey champ, you ought to come look at this boy you're going to fight on TV. 37:14 --> 37:15 Looks like he means business. 37:15 --> 37:16 Yeah, yeah. 37:16 --> 37:17 I mean business too. 37:17 --> 37:21 And he said, hey champ, you might want to look at this guy who you're about to fight. 37:21 --> 37:24 Because he sees, as a trainer, he sees this guy punching the meat. 37:24 --> 37:28 He sees the power of ferocity of Rocky pounding this meat. 37:28 --> 37:34 And he says, boy, we kind of like randomly picked this guy to spar with the champion on. 37:35 --> 37:36 And he says, hey champ, you want to look at this guy? 37:37 --> 37:39 And of course, Paul, being a Paul, don't worry about it. 37:40 --> 37:40 I'm sure he's great. 37:41 --> 37:41 We'll do fine. 37:42 --> 37:43 I'm sure he can box, but we'll be fine. 37:44 --> 37:45 So Rocky continues the punch. 37:46 --> 37:46 The interview's over. 37:47 --> 37:48 And he's holding his hands up in the air. 37:48 --> 37:50 And he's breathing heavy. 37:50 --> 37:55 And the interview goes, from this meat factory or whatever in Philadelphia, I'm so-and-so. 37:56 --> 37:57 There's the Italian stallion. 37:58 --> 38:00 Oh, she's, she, sorry, let me go back. 38:00 --> 38:03 She asked Rocky, how did you come up with this unique training method? 38:03 --> 38:05 He says, well, I invented it. 38:06 --> 38:09 So Rocky, as we know now, has invented three things. 38:10 --> 38:12 He's invented his name, the Italian stallion. 38:12 --> 38:13 Yes. 38:13 --> 38:17 He mentioned that in the earlier news report when he was told how much money he'd be given. 38:18 --> 38:20 The reporter asked him, how did you come up with the name Italian stallion? 38:20 --> 38:21 He says, I invented that. 38:21 --> 38:24 He invented meat punching in a meat factory. 38:25 --> 38:28 And then he also invented the jokes, i.e. shell shock. 38:28 --> 38:29 He invented those jokes. 38:30 --> 38:33 So he's an inventor of jokes, punching meat, and his nickname. 38:33 --> 38:34 A renaissance man. 38:34 --> 38:35 Very much so. 38:35 --> 38:36 Yes. 38:36 --> 38:37 A fighter and a lover. 38:38 --> 38:38 Yes. 38:39 --> 38:40 That's very true. 38:40 --> 38:40 Wow, touche. 38:41 --> 38:44 He never did draw or do any artwork that I'm aware of. 38:44 --> 38:44 Did he not? 38:45 --> 38:46 You're thinking of Pauly. 38:46 --> 38:54 Well, here, no, what I'm thinking of is in Rocky VI, I think we see a painting of Rocky that Stallone did. 38:54 --> 38:56 But Burt Young is a painter now. 38:56 --> 38:56 Yeah, I know. 38:56 --> 38:58 And they used his paintings in the movies. 38:59 --> 39:01 Yes, but Stallone's also a painter. 39:01 --> 39:02 Okay, well. 39:02 --> 39:04 And he's done, I guarantee you. 39:04 --> 39:09 Now we see Rocky and Adrian sitting together watching TV together on a date. 39:09 --> 39:11 They're on the couch talking. 39:11 --> 39:16 And Rocky's now talking about Pauly about earlier that week. 39:16 --> 39:19 That, you know, Pauly's kind of been acting jealous and angry. 39:19 --> 39:20 And he says, I don't know. 39:20 --> 39:21 I don't know what's up with your brother. 39:22 --> 39:23 I don't know why he's so angry with me. 39:23 --> 39:25 You know, this is why I don't want him to work with Gazel. 39:25 --> 39:26 Because he's kind of a loose cannon. 39:26 --> 39:28 Basically, he's a loose cannon talking. 39:28 --> 39:29 Your brother's a loose cannon. 39:29 --> 39:31 And then Pauly hears that conversation. 39:32 --> 39:33 He comes in and says, 39:33 --> 39:37 I don't want nothing from you. 39:38 --> 39:40 I don't want nothing from you. 39:41 --> 39:43 This ain't no charity case. 39:44 --> 39:45 Get out of my house. 39:46 --> 39:47 It's not just your house. 39:48 --> 39:49 You're no friend no more. 39:51 --> 39:52 Get out of my house, I just said. 39:52 --> 39:54 Don't talk to him like that. 39:54 --> 39:56 About to get out of my house. 39:57 --> 39:57 Go. 39:57 --> 40:00 It's cold outside, Pauly. 40:10 --> 40:12 I don't want you missing, huh? 40:12 --> 40:15 And I don't raise you to go with this scumbo. 40:15 --> 40:16 Yeah, come on! 40:16 --> 40:17 You want to hit on me? 40:17 --> 40:17 Come on! 40:18 --> 40:20 I'll break both your arms so they don't work for you. 40:24 --> 40:25 That's right. 40:25 --> 40:26 I'm not good enough to meet with Gazel. 40:27 --> 40:28 That's what I think of Gazel. 40:28 --> 40:30 Now you're a big shot fighter on the way up. 40:30 --> 40:32 You don't even throw a crump to your friend Pauly. 40:32 --> 40:34 When I go and get your meat every morning, 40:35 --> 40:35 you forgot that. 40:35 --> 40:37 And now I even give you my sister too. 40:37 --> 40:38 All I can't do is that. 40:39 --> 40:40 I'm a pig. 40:41 --> 40:42 A pig gets you the best. 40:43 --> 40:44 You fucking loser! 40:44 --> 40:46 I don't get married because of you. 40:47 --> 40:48 You can't live by yourself. 40:49 --> 40:51 I put you through the scatter at you! 40:51 --> 40:54 I'll show you again! You owe me! 40:56 --> 40:57 You owe me! 40:57 --> 40:59 Why do I owe you? 40:59 --> 41:01 You're supposed to be good to me. 41:01 --> 41:05 Why do I owe you, Paulie? Why do I owe you? 41:05 --> 41:08 I treat you good! I'm good for you! I treat me like that! 41:08 --> 41:10 I feel your dirty clothes! 41:10 --> 41:14 I take care of you, Paulie! I don't owe you nothing! 41:14 --> 41:17 And you made me feel like a loser! 41:17 --> 41:19 I'm not a loser! 41:19 --> 41:20 You're busted! 41:20 --> 41:21 What?! 41:21 --> 41:23 You're not a virgin! 41:23 --> 41:26 Take down your pants! 41:26 --> 41:27 She's busted! 41:27 --> 41:32 I can't owe me no more! 41:32 --> 41:39 And he starts smashing now silverware on top of the dresser and the pictures of the lamp. 41:39 --> 41:42 I always felt really bad for that silverware because I wondered, did it ever get used? 41:42 --> 41:45 I remember when I first saw that, I'm thinking... 41:45 --> 41:47 The silver teapot! 41:47 --> 41:51 Yeah, that would have been fun to do, to get a bat and just like... 41:51 --> 41:57 Yeah, in the movies, they tend to do the self-destruct in the movies, you know, turn over table, desk, yeah, okay. 41:57 --> 42:00 The prop people set it all up and like, oh, they're gonna turn it over in five minutes. 42:00 --> 42:01 Yeah. 42:01 --> 42:06 But the idea that, yeah, those tables will turn over and stuff, I know what you're saying, to try to trash the set. 42:06 --> 42:13 Two things come to mind with this scene is, one is, it would have been less intense if Paulie was a Jewish mother. 42:13 --> 42:14 Yes. 42:14 --> 42:16 You know, I'm not trying to stereotype Jewish mothers. 42:16 --> 42:20 Well, no, I mean, even just a mother or any sort, like a small, deminive woman with a baseball bat. 42:20 --> 42:21 It wouldn't have made sense to me. 42:21 --> 42:22 No, no, no. 42:22 --> 42:23 It'd be more of... 42:23 --> 42:24 Just get out of my house. 42:24 --> 42:25 ...corny. 42:25 --> 42:27 Like a "Don't Stop or My Mom Will Shoot" type of thing. 42:27 --> 42:28 You remember that movie? 42:28 --> 42:29 We'll continue with Rocky. 42:29 --> 42:30 Redfish! 42:30 --> 42:31 Mom! 42:31 --> 42:32 Stop! 42:32 --> 42:35 Oh, please, you don't have anything I haven't seen before. 42:35 --> 42:37 Mom, would you turn around, please? 42:37 --> 42:38 Or my mom... 42:38 --> 42:39 Both of you! 42:39 --> 42:40 ...will shoot. 42:40 --> 42:43 Your mom witnessed a murder. 42:43 --> 42:44 You witnessed a murder? 42:44 --> 42:45 Get in! 42:45 --> 42:46 We're gonna nail those turkeys! 42:46 --> 42:47 Oh, come on, Gwen. 42:47 --> 42:48 She's supposed to go back Monday. 42:48 --> 42:49 Watch out! 42:49 --> 42:52 Look, you can already see it's gonna have very nice equipment. 42:52 --> 42:53 You'll never get out of my house. 42:53 --> 42:55 You're gonna get out of my house. 42:55 --> 42:56 You're gonna get out of my house. 42:56 --> 42:57 Very nice equipment. 42:57 --> 42:58 Would you like me to drive? 42:58 --> 42:59 No! 43:02 --> 43:04 It's gonna be so clean and shiny. 43:04 --> 43:06 She's gonna have the cleanest gun at the precinct. 43:06 --> 43:08 I'd say she loves you, Joe. 43:08 --> 43:09 No, my son's is much bigger. 43:09 --> 43:10 Mom! 43:10 --> 43:11 Sylvester Stallone... 43:11 --> 43:13 Put a machine gun off the back of a van? 43:13 --> 43:14 ...and Estelle Getty... 43:14 --> 43:16 I wanted it to be a surprise. 43:16 --> 43:17 It is! 43:17 --> 43:18 ...stop. 43:18 --> 43:20 Or my mom will shoot! 43:21 --> 43:25 The second part is that Burt Young decided to play Paulie, 43:25 --> 43:27 as mildly arthritic. 43:27 --> 43:30 And so he would rub turpentine on his hands. 43:30 --> 43:32 Give him a kind of a stiff type of feeling. 43:32 --> 43:33 Huh. 43:33 --> 43:34 Interesting. 43:34 --> 43:35 So he was a very method actor. 43:35 --> 43:38 Like, he decided my character was gonna have, you know, a little bit of... 43:38 --> 43:39 Constant pain. 43:39 --> 43:40 Yeah. 43:40 --> 43:41 So he's curmudgeoning, because he's always feeling pain, 43:41 --> 43:43 which would explain his drinking to dull the senses. 43:43 --> 43:44 Yeah, yeah. 43:44 --> 43:45 Interesting. 43:45 --> 43:46 Yeah. 43:46 --> 43:50 And I also noticed that beside the silverware set, or the Tupperware there, was a picture 43:50 --> 43:54 of Burt Young, most likely, but Paulie wearing a Navy outfit. 43:54 --> 43:55 Hmm. 43:55 --> 43:57 So it's always kind of interesting, again, that backstory. 43:57 --> 44:00 There's this weird backstory about their life that we never really hear about. 44:00 --> 44:02 The parents, but Paulie was in the Navy. 44:02 --> 44:04 He had a short time in the Navy, or stint in the Navy. 44:04 --> 44:08 At some point, it's like, probably right out of high school for a few years, he was a Navyman. 44:08 --> 44:09 And you are in the Navy. 44:09 --> 44:10 I am in the Navy. 44:10 --> 44:15 But I have not taken a bat to any houseguess or silverware. 44:15 --> 44:19 Well, in Paulie's defense, you're not as old as Paulie. 44:19 --> 44:20 I have time. 44:20 --> 44:22 Actually, Paulie in this movie was 36. 44:22 --> 44:23 Weird. 44:23 --> 44:24 Yeah. 44:24 --> 44:25 Why did they look so old back then? 44:25 --> 44:26 Yeah. 44:26 --> 44:27 We talked about that, actually. 44:27 --> 44:28 But... 44:28 --> 44:29 I know. 44:29 --> 44:30 He's 36. 44:30 --> 44:32 Both as an actor and as the character, he's... 44:32 --> 44:33 Yeah. 44:33 --> 44:34 Weird. 44:34 --> 44:35 Just weird. 44:35 --> 44:38 So that was a real picture of Paulie, by the way. 44:38 --> 44:39 Yeah. 44:39 --> 44:42 He was a petty officer in the U.S. Navy. 44:42 --> 44:43 Great. 44:43 --> 44:46 Did you say what he did for work in that Navy position? 44:46 --> 44:50 While you're looking that up, I find it interesting that, again, the prop people were like, "Hey, 44:50 --> 44:52 Bert, do you have any pictures of you in the Navy?" 44:52 --> 44:55 Because we could put that up here to show kind of some historical background. 44:55 --> 44:59 Yeah, well, they probably just said, you know, what pictures do you have, you know, that we 44:59 --> 45:00 could... 45:00 --> 45:02 Add depth to the kind of the backdrop of the house. 45:02 --> 45:03 Yeah, sure. 45:03 --> 45:04 Sure. 45:04 --> 45:05 And that would have matched the time. 45:05 --> 45:06 There would have been... 45:06 --> 45:07 A lot of servicemen back then. 45:07 --> 45:08 Yeah, so look what age. 45:08 --> 45:10 It could have been for the Korean War. 45:10 --> 45:12 70s would have been Korean War. 45:12 --> 45:13 Yeah, so he was probably... 45:13 --> 45:18 But if he served early enough, because actually back then, this was 76, so it wasn't that far 45:18 --> 45:21 off the Vietnam War, so he may have all been a Vietnam vet. 45:21 --> 45:25 Which is interesting, because Rambo was a Vietnam vet during the same time. 45:25 --> 45:29 Maybe Paulie was on a naval ship to transport a Rockies platoon to some... 45:29 --> 45:34 So Paulie's wearing a dress uniform on the cover of the Chief Petty Officer in the U.S. Navy. 45:34 --> 45:38 So this scene ends with Adrian yelling at Paulie, "What do I owe you? 45:38 --> 45:39 I owe you nothing. 45:39 --> 45:42 I cook, I clean for you, and you've always just called me a loser." 45:42 --> 45:46 So we're seeing again a bit of the background of the relationship here that Paulie, bless his heart, 45:46 --> 45:48 he's been a bit of a jerk. 45:48 --> 45:51 He's broken down, angry, jealous. 45:51 --> 45:55 Jealous of his sister, jealous of his friend for getting the shot at the title. 45:55 --> 45:57 And he's letting it all out. 45:57 --> 46:00 Now Adrian will stand up for herself saying, "I'm not a loser. 46:00 --> 46:01 I'm not a loser." 46:01 --> 46:04 She's yelling it out, almost like freeing herself of that burden. 46:04 --> 46:07 "I'm no longer a loser to you or to anybody else." 46:07 --> 46:13 And she goes into her room, slams the door, and Rocky comes in and says, "Hey, you want a roommate?" 46:13 --> 46:15 And Adrian goes, "Absolutely." 46:15 --> 46:17 Rocky knew he had to get her out of there. 46:17 --> 46:18 Yeah, and it's for the best. 46:18 --> 46:20 You can't be in that environment. 46:20 --> 46:21 No. 46:21 --> 46:22 And flourish. 46:22 --> 46:23 And flourish. 46:23 --> 46:24 And they're the protector. 46:24 --> 46:30 Got his girlfriend out of that abusive house, home, and they start their life together as boyfriend and girlfriend. 46:30 --> 46:35 Well, what I like about that is they didn't kick Paulie to the curb. 46:35 --> 46:37 No, they didn't say, "You leave Paulie." 46:37 --> 46:38 They outgrew. 46:38 --> 46:40 They outgrew each other. 46:40 --> 46:41 They did. 46:41 --> 46:42 It wasn't healthy anymore. 46:42 --> 46:43 And we'll see it later in the movies. 46:43 --> 46:45 For those of you who haven't seen the movies, don't worry. 46:45 --> 46:48 Paulie redeems himself and I guess he screws up again later. 46:48 --> 46:49 But... 46:49 --> 46:50 Don't we all. 46:50 --> 46:51 Don't we all. 46:51 --> 46:52 Well, we'll end there, Reuben. 46:52 --> 46:53 I think it's a great place to end. 46:53 --> 46:54 Yeah. 46:54 --> 46:57 We thank you all for coming on this journey. 46:57 --> 46:59 We had some good jokes at the other one. 46:59 --> 47:06 It's kind of hard to be as clever when it's not as natural. 47:06 --> 47:07 It's gotta be off the cuff. 47:07 --> 47:08 Off the cuff. 47:08 --> 47:13 And so, unfortunately, believe us when we say that there were some good ones. 47:13 --> 47:15 I threw that football over the mountains. 47:15 --> 47:16 You did. 47:16 --> 47:17 You know. 47:17 --> 47:18 Without being said. 47:18 --> 47:20 Uncle Rico and Napoleon Dynamite. 47:20 --> 47:21 Anyways, but... 47:21 --> 47:22 Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. 47:22 --> 47:25 How much you wanna make a bet I can throw a football over the mountains?
