  Speaker 3: seen my posts lately, you know, the catch basins.
• 1:15
  Speaker 4: Yesterday, I did one, all the garbage in.

  Speaker 3: The tracks that are backing up the catch basins, which

  Speaker 2: I love that. Chris on loan from Mark Simone.
• 1:36
  Speaker 4: Natalie, not away.
• 1:37
  Speaker 3: You know what I told them? I said, why don't
• 1:39
  Speaker 3: you call your friend? You're a Cuomo sexual. You voted
• 1:42
  Speaker 3: for him, not me. Why don't you call Andrew Evil
• 1:44
  Speaker 3: Eyes Cuomo?
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: Why did you bring Chris on that? Do you think
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: he's a Cuomo sexual? Is that what you're saying?
• 1:49
  Speaker 5: No, no.
• 1:50
  Speaker 3: But, you know, just to get him active because, you know,
• 1:52
  Speaker 3: Natalie is not with us today. She'll be back with
• 1:54
  Speaker 3: us on Monday. So you're going solo in the producer's
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: seat today.
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: Let's give him a few minutes. Go ahead. What do
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: you want to say? I mean, I have nothing to
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: say on this right now.
• 2:04
  Speaker 4: Hold on a second. I didn't pay attention.
• 2:06
  Speaker 3: But, you know, Natalie Migliore talked about date night at
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: City Field last night.
• 2:12
  Speaker 4: Did they get rained out? No, they played. They lost, obviously.
• 2:15
  Speaker 5: Of course. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 2:16
  Speaker 4: That was a given. Did anybody get hooked up? Did
• 2:18
  Speaker 4: anybody score?
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: That I don't know. I was not there. They didn't
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: keep score on that? That's all anybody cared about. Not
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: that I saw.
• 2:26
  Speaker 6: The Mets lost, but I'm sure hopefully somebody won last night.
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: What else is new, right? What else is new? But anyway,
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: let's get to the number one story. Larry, you were
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: talking about it right at the tail end of the
• 2:38
  Speaker 3: show yesterday. We had so many talkbacks. People wanted to
• 2:41
  Speaker 3: talk about it. The historic settlement. that Zuckerberg and his
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: lawyers agreed to in the case, the civil case against
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: him that was being heard in Oakland, California, in California
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: against him. But it also involved attorney generals from all
• 2:58
  Speaker 3: over the country. What were the details of that settlement?
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: which protected Zuckerberg from having to get up on that
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: stand and make a complete fool out of himself.
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: Yeah, this should get a whole lot more attention than
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: it's getting, actually, because this is going to be the
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: beginning of a long trend now. It's going to be
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: years and years and years in this because Meta has
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: basically admitted that, yes, they were manipulating their products to
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: be more addictive to children, and they're going to end
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: up paying $ 18 billion more in a settlement for that.
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: But that's not the most important part. The most important
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: part is the precedent it sets and that now others,
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: that X and Twitch and all of the other social
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: media platforms are going to be forced to follow suit.
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: So watch what's going to happen. These dominoes are now
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: going to start falling over the next year. This is
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: what the meta agreement is. There will be two-hour daily limits,
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: a default two-hour usage cap on Facebook and Instagram that
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: requires parental consent to remove. Overnight curfews, restrictions on the
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: app usage between midnight and 6 a.m. A ban on
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: push notifications on weekdays between 8 and 3 p.m. There's
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: a long list of these, but what it does, it's
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: going to limit what your kids can do and how
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: long they can stay on social media.
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: Because their own research.
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: which they hid, they buried, showed that this had a
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: deletory effect on youth, that it was hurting our youths.
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: And it was making them angry. It was making them isolated.
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: And in some cases, it was making them suicidal. And
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: so this is a tremendous ruling. I'm glad this is now.
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: Out in the open. But you also had a lot
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: to say about this.
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: Shame on the parents.
• 4:59
  Speaker 4: It's their responsibility to oversee what their children are doing.
• 5:04
  Speaker 5: Not Zuckerberg.
• 5:07
  Speaker 3: He knew how to keep his kids away from social media.
• 5:10
  Speaker 4: Is it too much work for the parents today?
• 5:13
  Speaker 3: Take their electronics away.
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: I don't disagree with you a thousand percent, but let's
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: say I do disagree with some of that. I do
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: disagree with some of that.
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: You're right.
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: Zuckerberg did. keep children away that he knew. And other
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: people that were involved with META also kept children away.
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: But that's not to say that all the blame should
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: be on the parents because now that we've seen the settlement,
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: they knew exactly what they were doing. They knew how
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: they could get to kids. They knew how they could
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: hold them on. And then they formed communities online where
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: kids were getting bullied could now get bullied online. And
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: so Yeah, they have to take some responsibility. I don't disagree.
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: Parents need to take some responsibility, too. I don't disagree
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: with you at all. But you can't let Mark Zuckerberg
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: and the rest of the social media companies off the hook.
• 6:08
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's sort of like letting the drug dealer off
• 6:10
  Speaker 3: the hook. The drug dealer knows. He could get your
• 6:13
  Speaker 3: kid hooked. Now, you could be like, well, the parents,
• 6:16
  Speaker 3: you should have had more oversight.
• 6:18
  Speaker 4: But meantime, it's the drug dealer, right, who is the
• 6:21
  Speaker 4: one pushing the drug. He was pushing a drug. Look
• 6:25
  Speaker 4: at Zuckerberg and all of his minions. They had the data.
• 6:29
  Speaker 3: They saw that young people had this insatiable appetite, like
• 6:32
  Speaker 3: adults do, too. You know, this could be applied to adults.
• 6:35
  Speaker 3: I mean, how many times are adults scrolling, scrolling, scrolling?
• 6:38
  Speaker 3: Are you going to get to bed?
• 6:39
  Speaker 4: What are you going to get? What's so important on
• 6:42
  Speaker 4: that stupid cell.
• 6:43
  Speaker 5: Phone, Phil?
• 6:44
  Speaker 4: You know, the wife will say, well, you know, it's addictive.
• 6:49
  Speaker 4: It is addictive.
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: Well, some kids, this became their whole life.
• 6:52
  Speaker 3: Well, remember, when we were kids, we didn't have that,
• 6:54
  Speaker 3: but we had the little Sony iPhone. that we would
• 6:57
  Speaker 3: hide under the pillow so we could listen to radio,
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: especially baseball games when, for me, the Yankees were away
• 7:03
  Speaker 3: on the West Coast and the game started late. And
• 7:06
  Speaker 3: I know my parents, they'd go on patrol, you know,
• 7:09
  Speaker 3: to make sure I was asleep and I'd fake it. Meantime,
• 7:11
  Speaker 3: I had the radio underneath the pillow. The moment they
• 7:14
  Speaker 3: went back to their bedroom, boom, I was listening through
• 7:18
  Speaker 3: the pillow. I don't ever remember my dad or my
• 7:20
  Speaker 3: mom trying to take that radio away, which would have
• 7:23
  Speaker 3: guaranteed I couldn't have been listening.
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I hate sometimes when people criticize parents. And I
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: don't know who this woman is, so I'm not going
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: to criticize her. But many times they're not parents and
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: they don't have kids. When you're at a restaurant and
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: you give your kids a social media thing, that is
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: your time to yourself. And now you don't have to
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: deal with them at dinner.
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: You know what I mean? It's a passion. Absolutely. It's
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: a pacifier. And so then you have other people going, oh,
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: my God, look at them. Look at them. They just
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: gave their kids social media to do.
• 7:55
  Speaker 3: That's a $ 1, 000.
• 7:59
  Speaker 4: iPhone right there.
• 8:00
  Speaker 3: Why are they giving a $ 1, 000 iPhone to their kids?
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: It's like, shut up, please.
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: I want an hour. Can I have an hour just
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: to eat? You obviously don't have kids.
• 8:13
  Speaker 7: You're missing the whole point with the meta-settlement. Zuckerberg was
• 8:17
  Speaker 7: right by not allowing his kids to be online that often.
• 8:21
  Speaker 7: He's being a responsible parent. And that's the heart to
• 8:24
  Speaker 7: that whole case. Parents have taken their responsibility away and
• 8:28
  Speaker 7: blaming other.
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: People for it.
• 8:30
  Speaker 4: And also, where's all that money going to go?
• 8:32
  Speaker 7: That's just going to go into some big fund for
• 8:34
  Speaker 7: the states to spend on whatever they want. They're not
• 8:37
  Speaker 7: going to do anything with the money to help the kids.
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: You got to stop demonizing the parents. And that's not
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: to say that they don't have a responsibility. You just
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: got to stop demonizing the parents. It's hard enough. And
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: I know most parents love their children and would do
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: anything for them. But to be able to look at
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: them 24 hours a day to find out what they're
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: doing and to set rules that you know they're going.
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: To keep is a hard thing. It's a difficult thing.
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: And again, I don't know this gentleman, but a lot
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: of the people that criticize Parents are not parents.
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: They're not parents.
• 9:13
  Speaker 3: Zuckerberg did the right thing. You think Zuckerberg is at home?
• 9:16
  Speaker 3: You think his wife is at home?
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: That's a good point.
• 9:18
  Speaker 4: They're billionaires.
• 9:19
  Speaker 3: They have nannies. They have au pairs. They have two
• 9:22
  Speaker 3: children now. So they are like the oversight. You take
• 9:26
  Speaker 3: a single parent raising kids, right? Mostly it's women nowadays
• 9:30
  Speaker 3: in America. 50% of families end up going through divorce.
• 9:35
  Speaker 4: Women's got to work a job, right?
• 9:37
  Speaker 3: She's sometimes having to take on a second job absolutely
• 9:40
  Speaker 3: when does she have time to super well well zuckerberg
• 9:43
  Speaker 3: does it what do you mean he doesn't do it
• 9:45
  Speaker 3: he's not at home it's so.
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: Easy to stand on the sidelines and criticize and say
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: hey you're not doing it the right way it's difficult
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: to get in the game.
• 9:55
  Speaker 8: Yeah so i know meta lost this lawsuit right so
• 9:58
  Speaker 8: think about this a minute make something addictive let's look
• 10:02
  Speaker 8: at all of our food all the fast food restaurants
• 10:04
  Speaker 8: all the products that they have out there that when
• 10:07
  Speaker 8: you eat them and make you want to have more
• 10:10
  Speaker 8: are they going to sue all these places because you
• 10:12
  Speaker 8: might as well you open that door you might as
• 10:14
  Speaker 8: well step through it now at this point.
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's much different. I know what you're trying to say.
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: It's much, much different.
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: The addictiveness of social media is a mental thing and
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: it can cause serious, serious problems. This will make you
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: fat and that's some serious problems with that, but you
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: can beat that.
• 10:34
  Speaker 3: Wait till they start with YouTube. How many people out
• 10:37
  Speaker 3: there right now listening to us? They're adults mostly. Unless
• 10:41
  Speaker 3: there's a kid in the back of the seat who
• 10:43
  Speaker 3: is required to listen to Larry and me in the
• 10:46
  Speaker 3: morning because they have no choice. How many people are
• 10:49
  Speaker 3: watching YouTube morning, noon, and night, right?
• 10:51
  Speaker 4: They don't even watch the.
• 10:53
  Speaker 3: Big screen TV anymore. They've cut the cord. They're not
• 10:57
  Speaker 3: watching networks or cable.
• 10:58
  Speaker 4: All they do is watch YouTube, YouTube, YouTube, YouTube, YouTube.
• 11:03
  Speaker 4: They'll be next in line. You know they're getting sued.
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: Oh, I think next is TikTok. I think that's what's
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: going to be next.
• 11:09
  Speaker 4: You know who's going to be angry?
• 11:10
  Speaker 3: Ellison, who did this as a favor to Trump so
• 11:13
  Speaker 3: we get it away from the red Chinese. He's going
• 11:15
  Speaker 3: to say, so I buy in to control TikTok for America,
• 11:21
  Speaker 3: and now I'm going to be sued as a result?
• 11:23
  Speaker 3: Where do I get relief? Please, I did everybody a favor.
• 11:26
  Speaker 3: And by the way, TikTok is not as popular any longer.
• 11:29
  Speaker 3: As when the Red Chinese ran it.
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: Oh, I don't know about that. Oh, no, it's not.
• 11:35
  Speaker 4: Instagram.
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: I'll do a deep dive on that. But man, with... Chris,
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: this is more of your generation. TikTok?
• 11:43
  Speaker 4: I use Instagram more.
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: Than TikTok? Personally, yes.
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: But what about people just a little bit younger than you?
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: All I hear about is TikTok videos going back and forth.
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: Every time somebody seems to get arrested, it's a TikTok video.
• 11:57
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean.
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: It's close.
• 11:59
  Speaker 6: I think it depends on the more specific age range.
• 12:02
  Speaker 6: But yeah, I think probably a little younger might be
• 12:05
  Speaker 6: slightly more TikTok. And all the artists are making it
• 12:07
  Speaker 6: on TikTok. All the people that are trying to get.
• 12:09
  Speaker 4: A recording career. Yeah, the young new artists. I think
• 12:11
  Speaker 4: you got to know their patterns, right? Instagram. And that
• 12:17
  Speaker 4: was controlled by Zuck, you pig.
• 12:22
  Speaker 3: Perfectly imperfect curtis lewa and larry menti in the.

• 12:46
  Speaker 1: what we're talking about and uh As we talk to
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: Joe Neumeier, film journalist and WOR movie minute host. Joe,
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: we want you to remember the two of them, but
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: we want to do something a little bit different. We're
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: going to, and you know what? It's a test and
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: it's like giving Einstein a test on physics. You're going
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: to nail this very easily. But I'm going to play
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: clips of you for you from Dolly Parton movies. You
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: tell us the movie and then, you know, share your
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: remembrance of her as you're answering the questions.
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: You ready?
• 13:18
  Speaker 5: Sounds good.
• 13:18
  Speaker 4: I'm all set.
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: I got my coffee.
• 13:19
  Speaker 4: I'm all set.
• 13:20
  Speaker 5: Okay.
• 13:21
  Speaker 4: Look, I got a gun out there in my purse.
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: And up to now, I've been forgiving and forgetting.
• 13:25
  Speaker 4: Because of the way I was brought up.
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: But I'll tell you one thing.
• 13:28
  Speaker 7: If you ever say another word about me or make
• 13:30
  Speaker 7: another indecent proposal, I'm.
• 13:32
  Speaker 4: Going to get that gun of mine, and I'm going
• 13:34
  Speaker 4: to change you from a rooster to a hen with
• 13:36
  Speaker 4: one shot. Don't think I can't do it.
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: Go ahead.
• 13:42
  Speaker 5: Great 9 to 5. 9 to 5, of course. She's
• 13:44
  Speaker 5: so funny in there. That was her first film. So
• 13:46
  Speaker 5: feisty and fiery. She's in there with Jane Fonda and
• 13:48
  Speaker 5: Lily Tomlin going after Debbie Coleman. Yeah, that's 9 to 5, right?
• 13:52
  Speaker 5: Am I right on that one?
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: Absolutely correct. Yeah, and she was funny. I think that
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: showed her, Chops is a great actress.
• 14:03
  Speaker 5: I totally agree. And I think that, you know, none
• 14:04
  Speaker 5: of the other films, she only did about five films
• 14:06
  Speaker 5: in total, really.
• 14:07

  Speaker 8: It's probably just one of those last-minute jitter things.
• 14:16
  Speaker 5: No, but the wind's still on.
• 14:18
  Speaker 4: Well, thank goodness, because this is going in the hairdo
• 14:22
  Speaker 4: hall of fame.
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: Go ahead.
• 14:26
  Speaker 5: Steel Magnolias. She's the owner of the beauty salon, right?
• 14:30
  Speaker 5: That's in her house, and I think Truvy was her name,
• 14:33
  Speaker 5: I think. So that is at Steel Magnolias.
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: That was still Magnolia.
• 14:36
  Speaker 5: Of course.
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: I know you're going to get all of these.
• 14:38
  Speaker 4: No, I'm a little bit of a doubter here.
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: Really?
• 14:41
  Speaker 4: We've got two more to go, right?
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: Well, these are the two hardest ones. Yes, these are
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: the two most difficult. But this is Joe Newman.
• 14:46
  Speaker 4: No, no, no.
• 14:48
  Speaker 3: He's been a dollar short and a day late on
• 14:50
  Speaker 3: some things lately.
• 14:52
  Speaker 5: Now the clutch is on here, guys. I don't know. Okay,
• 14:55
  Speaker 5: let's try.
• 14:56
  Speaker 7: This is a treat.
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: Nobody around here ever wants a manicure.
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: Why, I don't think I would even.
• 15:02
  Speaker 5: Know what to charge for a fool that is beauty.
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: Well, I'm going to need one, too. Well, I am
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: going to paint my front door red and change my
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: name to Elizabeth Arden.
• 15:12
  Speaker 3: Uh-oh.
• 15:13
  Speaker 5: I'm thinking, is that Best Little Whorehouse in Texas? Because
• 15:16
  Speaker 5: that I haven't seen in a long time. That came
• 15:20
  Speaker 5: out in 82, and she plays the madam of the
• 15:23
  Speaker 5: whorehouse there with Burt Reynolds, the comedy. It's a musical comedy.
• 15:25
  Speaker 5: I like it, actually. Is it Best Little Whorehouse?
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: No, I apologize. We played a trick on you. That's
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: Steel Magnolias again.
• 15:34
  Speaker 5: Oh, look at that.
• 15:35
  Speaker 4: You see, was I right? Was I right about this?
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: No, he obviously thought it was going to be four
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: different movies. We kind of changed it up on him.
• 15:44
  Speaker 2: Oh, come on.
• 15:45
  Speaker 4: Let's not give him a curve.
• 15:46
  Speaker 5: I've only got three coffees on me. I need another
• 15:48
  Speaker 5: few coffees to figure this out.
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: Wait, we got another one.
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: I know you're going to get this.
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: Listen to him cuss and shout just like on TV.
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: You're just a kid playing at being a cowboy.
• 16:01
  Speaker 4: You ain't never going to grow up.
• 16:05
  Speaker 2: Uh-oh.
• 16:05
  Speaker 4: A little hesitation there.
• 16:07
  Speaker 5: Uh-oh is right.
• 16:08
  Speaker 7: Right.
• 16:09
  Speaker 5: I mean, that sounds like best little whorehouse.
• 16:13
  Speaker 7: Yes.
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: When I said yes, I was trying to help you.
• 16:17
  Speaker 4: All right.
• 16:18
  Speaker 3: In baseball, you would be the triple crown winner. 75%
• 16:21
  Speaker 3: you got right. But let me tell you something, Joe.
• 16:24
  Speaker 3: You're supposed to be number one, second, and none. You
• 16:27
  Speaker 3: should have gotten all four.
• 16:29
  Speaker 5: I should have gotten all four.
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: I know.
• 16:30
  Speaker 5: And I should have actually. Well, I have to say,
• 16:32
  Speaker 5: I haven't. seen any of them since they came out.
• 16:35
  Speaker 5: You know, they just were not my rewatch thing. I
• 16:37
  Speaker 5: should have gotten them. But I will say, of the
• 16:39
  Speaker 5: five films that she made, really, I mean, those are
• 16:43
  Speaker 5: all good ones. I like Best Little Whorehouse in Texas,
• 16:45
  Speaker 5: Charles Durning's Oscar-nominated for it, Burt Reynolds, a lot of fun.
• 16:48
  Speaker 5: But Rhinestone gets a lot of guff, because it was
• 16:52
  Speaker 5: the movie that Stallone sang in, and it was a
• 16:54
  Speaker 5: flop when it came out. But I think it's okay.
• 16:57
  Speaker 5: She's funny in it. She's a country music star who
• 16:59
  Speaker 5: It says she can make anybody a singer, and he's
• 17:01
  Speaker 5: a cabbie that she tries to do. It's goofy, but
• 17:03
  Speaker 5: it's funny. And then there's one that you guys may know.
• 17:05
  Speaker 5: It's called Straight Talk. It's a comedy drama. It's more
• 17:09
  Speaker 5: of a comedy from, like, 92.
• 17:11
  Speaker 4: But she.
• 17:13
  Speaker 5: Falls into having a job as a radio host. And
• 17:15
  Speaker 5: so it's a great radio movie in a lot of ways.
• 17:17
  Speaker 5: Her and James Woods. So both of those are ones
• 17:19
  Speaker 5: that people forget. But I'm a fan of 9 to
• 17:22
  Speaker 5: 5 and Best Little Whorehouse in Texas.
• 17:23
  Speaker 3: All right, you've come back. That's a major comeback from
• 17:26
  Speaker 3: where you were. Yeah, he's amazing. Let me give you
• 17:29
  Speaker 3: a real easy one now.
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: You ready?
• 17:32
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 17:32
  Speaker 5: Okay, hold that.
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: I'm just a sweet trans-resting girl.
• 17:38
  Speaker 3: From transsexual Transylvania.
• 17:45
  Speaker 2: Go ahead.
• 17:46
  Speaker 5: Well, that's, of course, you know, Rocky Horror Picture Show.
• 17:48
  Speaker 5: It's the one that you guys, I'm sure, are singing
• 17:50
  Speaker 5: every morning, right, when you guys start the show. I think,
• 17:52
  Speaker 5: you know, the thing I think about with Tim Curry,
• 17:56
  Speaker 5: and that's, of course, you know, Rocky Horror Picture Show,
• 17:59
  Speaker 5: is that he makes that character who, you know, he
• 18:02
  Speaker 5: just described himself in there as, you know, he's a
• 18:04
  Speaker 5: sweet transsexual from transsexual, transvestite. Transsexual Transylvania. He makes that character, though,
• 18:11
  Speaker 5: like slimy and and and weird, but also like, you know,
• 18:15
  Speaker 5: kind of sympathetic. And it's a comedy. It's a goofy thing.
• 18:18
  Speaker 5: But Tim Curry had this ability to sort of bring
• 18:21
  Speaker 5: the biggest characters to life in the most sympathetic ways
• 18:25
  Speaker 5: and kind of weird ways. And I think that he
• 18:27
  Speaker 5: played the devil in Legend and he's great in it.
• 18:30
  Speaker 5: He played under all this makeup. He's great. And he
• 18:32
  Speaker 5: plays the clown it in the original TV movie of that.
• 18:36
  Speaker 5: um he played he was in muppet treasure island as
• 18:38
  Speaker 5: uh as long john silver but i love him in
• 18:41
  Speaker 5: clue and in annie he's great in both of those
• 18:43
  Speaker 5: movies too he thought he was such a funny guy
• 18:45
  Speaker 5: and on broadway and spam a lot uh such a.
• 18:48
  Speaker 9: Crazy british great actor funny you know what i learned
• 18:52
  Speaker 9: in his passing i had no idea about this yeah
• 18:55
  Speaker 9: and our own uh larry mentee had gone to rocky
• 18:58
  Speaker 9: horror about four or five times in his life, I said, whoa, yeah,
• 19:03
  Speaker 9: that's interesting.
• 19:07
  Speaker 2: Would you please explain to him, because he thinks for
• 19:10
  Speaker 2: some reason that everybody that went there must be a transvestite,
• 19:14
  Speaker 2: that that was a cultural experience?
• 19:17
  Speaker 5: Yes, Curtis, it was a cultural experience. It was something
• 19:20
  Speaker 5: that you go to in college or even not in college,
• 19:22
  Speaker 5: just go. It's a midnight thing at the Bleeker Cinema
• 19:25
  Speaker 5: in New York. It played at midnight like every Friday
• 19:28
  Speaker 5: and Saturday. You don't have to go and dress up.
• 19:30
  Speaker 5: It also was part of the, I will say it
• 19:32
  Speaker 5: was a flop when it came out in 75, when
• 19:34
  Speaker 5: a few years later it became this cult thing. People
• 19:37
  Speaker 5: went to have the experience of people throwing things at
• 19:40
  Speaker 5: the screen, people joking, people singing along. You didn't have
• 19:44
  Speaker 5: to dress up. The two or three times I went
• 19:46
  Speaker 5: when I was young, I never dressed up. But you'd
• 19:48
  Speaker 5: go to kind of have this communal experience. And that's
• 19:51
  Speaker 5: movie going, right? I mean, it's not every movie you're
• 19:54
  Speaker 5: throwing things at the screen, even if it's a bad movie,
• 19:56
  Speaker 5: like the Dog Stars, which is out this weekend. You
• 19:58
  Speaker 5: might want to throw something at the Dog Stars. But
• 20:00
  Speaker 5: the experience of Rocky Horror was to really have that
• 20:04
  Speaker 5: communal experience. Some of the music is really fun. You know,
• 20:07
  Speaker 5: Time Warp is obviously great. And Meat Loaf's got a
• 20:10
  Speaker 5: great song in there. But it's about the experience of
• 20:13
  Speaker 5: going there with people and being raucous and crazy and
• 20:16
  Speaker 5: kooky and kind of, you know, it was a show
• 20:18
  Speaker 5: in the audience as well.
• 20:19
  Speaker 4: Good cover for Larry. You're a good colleague here.
• 20:22
  Speaker 8: At the W.O.R.
• 20:23
  Speaker 4: It's our movie reviewer, Joe Neumeier. Good cover for Larry
• 20:26
  Speaker 4: going how many times, Larry? Four or five times.
• 20:28
  Speaker 2: Four or five, yeah. Yeah, four or five. Always had fun,
• 20:32
  Speaker 2: was always with a group.
• 20:33
  Speaker 5: Yep.
• 20:33
  Speaker 4: Tells me a lot about you, Larry.
• 20:35
  Speaker 2: What, that I had friends?
• 20:37
  Speaker 3: No, Joe, good cover. Good cover, buddy. We appreciate you.
• 20:40
