• 1:52
  Speaker 2: He can't be trusted. These two can't be trusted either,
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: but he's definitely can't be true.

  Speaker 3: I'm the one who could be most trusted.
• 1:58

  Speaker 1: event over at Eisenhower Park, which was fantastic there Daily.
• 2:20
  Speaker 3: Insane.
• 2:21
  Speaker 4: I brought both of them for color.
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, whenever I see them, I imagine that
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: one scene in the Revenge of the Sith where Anakin
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: is just with the young lings and just just ready
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: to take them down with the lightsabers.
• 2:34
  Speaker 4: Pretty much.
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: Wait, did you see Luke Shywalker again?
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: No? If you want to be Luke Skywalker.
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: Are you I can fight Henry down? No, I can
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: fight Henry, I'm gonna get out of my light camer
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: after this. You created the clones.
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: All right, let's focus. We're gonna try as focus as
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: much as possible. This show is going to go off
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: the rails. And you know, I expected I knew what
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: I was getting into, did you, Yes, I very much did.
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: But it is Friday when we're recording this, and they
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: just had some candy that was left out there, so
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: it's probably not going to end well. We're all going
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: to turn to the dark side of the forest.
• 3:16
  Speaker 4: But before we get to.
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: Some Star Wars.
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: On the good side, you could be on the good side.
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: Before we get to Star Wars, we are going to
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: talk about some other things. So you know, right now,
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: it's almost the end of the school year. Have you
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: guys been good students or bad students?
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: I don't know. I didn't good. Probably, I I'm not sure.
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: Stacy, what do you think? What did you see the
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: report cards? What do you think?
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: Academically?
• 3:42
  Speaker 5: Yes, they have no issues academically, we did notice, that's right.
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: What would you say? Crazy? Crazy children?
• 3:50
  Speaker 5: So they were playing they were playing pickleball after school today,
• 3:53
  Speaker 5: the club pickleball in the gym and the teacher alled
• 3:58
  Speaker 5: in a loudspeaker telling everybody to sit down, and uh,
• 4:02
  Speaker 5: one of my two children, I won't say which was
• 4:04
  Speaker 5: was probably the last one had to be called out
• 4:06
  Speaker 5: by name. So that tells me everything you need to know.
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: Well, you know, are you? Are you into the athletics
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: though maybe that's a future maybe a professional pickleball player?
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: No, I am Diane.
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: Did you guys ever think you know what you want
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: to do when you grow up? Is it something you've
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: thought about? A lovely cough into the microphone.
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: Not do that again.
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: We've heard worse from professionals here at w HBC. This
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: is that was nothing. That's just a normal Tuesday morning show.
• 4:37
  Speaker 4: Nick, What do you want to be when you grow up?
• 4:39
  Speaker 3: Buddy?
• 4:42
  Speaker 5: Which is different because for the longest time ask questions
• 4:47
  Speaker 5: you would say a worker?
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: A worker.
• 4:52
  Speaker 4: Accurate six year old I've ever seen in my life?
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: What about you, Henry? You ever think about the future.
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: I've had a lot of options.
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: Well, what do you think and what's what's on your
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: mind now?
• 5:02
  Speaker 4: Such as and so on?
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: Mostly marine, I'm going to be that one day.
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: Oh my god, I love it, love to hear it,
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: especially after that Dan Daly event. Who was just an
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: awesome guy from what we heard. And it was a
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: special event that you know, Keith invited me and Stacy
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: to broadcast from and w HBC, our radio station that
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: me and Stacy worked for, were able to broadcast from
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: that event and watch future Marines do their things. So
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: that was a fantastic thing. Now, last time, I still.
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: I still think we should have flipped the tire.
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah, there was a lot of things we should have done.
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: We should have pulled the car, We should have done
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: the tug of war. I mean, we got to come
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: back next year. I know you guys are moving, but
• 5:37

• 5:40
  Speaker 3: You should have You should have pulit and see and
• 5:43
  Speaker 3: played tuggle War against the future and see it they're good.
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: Do you think me and Justin could have won single handedly?
• 5:49
  Speaker 3: No?
• 5:50
  Speaker 4: I think so.
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: I know so because we have we have teamwork. Teamwork
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: makes the something. Just some catchphrase that rhymes with that
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: the dream work. Is that a catch for Yeah, that's
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: a movie company, dream works.
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: Yes, so now work makes the dream work.
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: Let's talk about some other movies before we you know,
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: get the Star Wars. Last time we had you on,
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: we were excited about the Minecraft movie. Now, did you
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: guys ever get an opportunity? Listen, there's gonna be sounds,
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: there's gonna be snorting, there's gonna be sneezing, and just
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: watching Stacy just flip out. She's you know, turns into
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: the mother from Home alone, just like freaking out. So
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: do you know what she's on, Katherine O'Hare, what is
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: she on?
• 6:31
  Speaker 3: Now?
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: She's on the Last the second season of the Last
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: of Us.
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: Oh, really, I heard that's terrible.
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: You heard the seasons here?
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: I heard the season was really bad because people are
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: very much a big fan of the first season. I
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: think it fell off. Really, Yeah, you're on what season?
• 6:48
  Speaker 3: Word?
• 6:48
  Speaker 4: Season two?
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: Yeah, a couple of episodes.
• 6:50
  Speaker 5: Yeah, we just started it and we were Kevin's.
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: Is she wearing like, uh makeup? Doors?
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: It just I mean, she just looks looks herself.
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: You know, it's always interesting when somebody's so synonymous with
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: one roll. Then you see it's like, is that creamer
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: from Seinfeld doesn't judge? Like, what the hell?
• 7:12
  Speaker 4: Seriously?
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: Yeah? Right, So let's get to Minecraft, because I know
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: you guys are going nuts right now. So what did
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: you think of the Minecraft movie? You guys saw it
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: in theaters. I hope you weren't throwing popcorn and acting like,
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: you know, knuckleheads in the theater like some of these
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: other kids are doing well.
• 7:26
  Speaker 3: I was. Yeah. I think the thing that I least
• 7:32
  Speaker 3: liked it about it in the movie theaters was everybody
• 7:34
  Speaker 3: was clapping about everything.
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: Yeah, they were going nuts, you know chicken jockey.
• 7:38
  Speaker 3: Yeah, they clapped on every scene.
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: So that ruined the experience from you.
• 7:43
  Speaker 4: We were not prepared for that.
• 7:45
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah. P O V plunted steel.
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: See. And then this was a discussion we actually had
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: last time, was do you prefer watching the movies at
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: home or in the theaters? And I think your experience
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: with Minecraft might have U you know, because I remember you, Henry,
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: I think, said you would rather watch it at home.
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: So now this just reinforces your statement that you know
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: you'd rather have watched the movie at home. Nick, you
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: saw the movie as well. What did you think of Minecraft? Great?
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: You like all the music you have me listening to it.
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: I like the I forget the song that he sings,
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: Chicken song.
• 8:25
  Speaker 5: Chicken.
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: That was I thought it was a fun movie. Have
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: you guys seen anything else this week? We have How
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: to Train Your Dragon the live action remake comes out,
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: We're going to take him to We're going to.
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: Go see that next week.
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: You guys didn't see Leelo and Stitch yet? Now, I
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: don't know I have. Well, no, probably saw the cartoon.
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: You know. That's a common thing that my nephew says too.
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: I go, did you see this? He's like, yeah, yeah,
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: yeah at school, And I'll just name a random movie,
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: like did you see Shindler's Listening? Yea, yeah, yeah's school. Like,
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: I don't think I'm five years old. I'm sure they
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: didn't show you that.
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: I know he did see Nick saw Charlie and the
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: Chocolate Factory a couple of weeks ago. Yeah, And I
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: was like, well, which version do you? Which version is
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: your favorite?
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: I don't even think it's up for debate.
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's the first one, of course, the original Gan
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: Wilde and that one she showed and I was very
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: pleased to hear it.
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: I didn't mind. Did you guys see Wonka? Though that
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: came out a few years ago with Timothy SHALAMAI I
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: actually enjoyed it.
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: I forgot that you liked that one. We need to
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: put that one on our life.
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: I thought the music was fantastic and it was like
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: a nice heartwarming story that Johnny depp one I could
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: never get into though, but the original is always the best.
• 9:34
  Speaker 5: Really, we're getting them hyped up for space Balls too.
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: Yes, did you see that?
• 9:39
  Speaker 4: I did? I did, very exciting.
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: I'm hoping that, you know, everything goes right and they
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: actually make the movie because you know, the director, mel Brooks,
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: being ninety eight years old.
• 9:51
  Speaker 4: What if he lives until twenty twenty.
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: He lives, so.
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: He's actually legitimately ninety eight, ninety eight.
• 9:55
  Speaker 5: Years old, and he's going to return as a yogurt
• 9:58
  Speaker 5: Yeah for the second.
• 10:01
  Speaker 4: No, I'm dead sero.
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: Oh my gosh.
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: So you know, there's a lot of comics, there's a
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: yeah returns. There's a lot of comedy sequels though that
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: unfortunately don't usually hit, and especially this one being forty
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: something years later, I don't know how well it's going
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: to do. But I'm excited to see a comedy in theaters,
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: which is something that doesn't happen. But let's go to
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: Star Wars. This is why we're here. Keith, I know
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: you're a big Star Wars fan, and I'm sure you've
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: shown your kids the Star Wars franchise, So let's start
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: with there. Let's start with you, Keith. How did you
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: get into Star Wars? Did you see the originals in
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: theaters or you know, what was your introduction to it?
• 10:33
  Speaker 5: I did not, so growing up, my older brother got
• 10:38
  Speaker 5: me into Star Wars. So he's he's about five six.
• 10:42
  Speaker 4: Years older than I am.
• 10:43
  Speaker 5: And some of my earliest memories were watching Empire Strikes Back,
• 10:48
  Speaker 5: Return of the Jedi. I think we had the VHS
• 10:52
  Speaker 5: you know tape that we probably ripped off the TV somewhere.
• 10:55
  Speaker 5: Oh you didn't even have it legitimately, No, yeah, for sure,
• 10:58
  Speaker 5: which is which is completely my family style.
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, well we did the same thing.
• 11:02
  Speaker 5: So I you know, it's hard, you know when you
• 11:05
  Speaker 5: remember a playlist and what comes next in the playlist
• 11:07
  Speaker 5: and your Spotify or something, and when I think of
• 11:10
  Speaker 5: Empire Strikes Back, you know, I'll think of it, you know,
• 11:12
  Speaker 5: with with commercials in between that you just.
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: Your brother's like second birthday that they recorded over.
• 11:18
  Speaker 5: But I probably watched the Empire Stripe Back five hundred
• 11:22
  Speaker 5: times as a child, So yeah, I got into it
• 11:26
  Speaker 5: as a kid. And then one of my favorite memories
• 11:29
  Speaker 5: growing up was we skipped school one day to go
• 11:32
  Speaker 5: see The Phantom Menace. So there was that big gap
• 11:35
  Speaker 5: right between the original three.
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: Nineteen eighty three to nineteen ninety nine was the gap.
• 11:39
  Speaker 4: Wow?
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so you know the world didn't have Star Wars.
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: There was re releases in the special editions, which I'm
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: going to go on a rant on later on, but yeah,
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: for as far as a feature length film, sixteen years
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: so you skip school. I did that for Spider Man
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: a few years later in two thousand and two.
• 11:54
  Speaker 4: Sure did skip.
• 11:55
  Speaker 5: School and I think I was probably a sophomore maybe
• 11:58
  Speaker 5: maybe junior in high school and a neighbor's dad took
• 12:02
  Speaker 5: us all. We went Chinese food. We watched them atine
• 12:05
  Speaker 5: and I expected it to be sold out. It was
• 12:08
  Speaker 5: just it hardly was a was a thing. The theater
• 12:12
  Speaker 5: was about half half full. As it turns out, Phantom
• 12:16
  Speaker 5: Menace was was awful.
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: Did you think that when you were watching it?
• 12:19
  Speaker 4: Yeah? I was super excited.
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: He really this which one is that?
• 12:23
  Speaker 5: That's the one with jar Jar when when Anakin's a
• 12:27
  Speaker 5: kid doing the pod racing and.
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: I don't remember is Darth Maul the double bladed lightsaber?
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: I do remember that you do remember that.
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so that was sort of the first I guess,
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: you know, signs that Star Wars maybe isn't as good
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: as people thought it was. I actually have a really
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: hot take that I think Star Wars is the most
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: overrated franchise of all time, And and I love Star
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: Wars and I have a replica Lightsaber, and I've seen
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: all the movies and I'm a giant nerd for Star Wars.
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: That being said, I personally think there's a handful of
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: good movies, and if you just look at the totality
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: of the franchise, I think a lot of it's terrible. Yeah,
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: I think you have two and a half really good
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: movies and then a lot of stuff that's all right
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: and nothing super good. But we're gonna get into that
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: in a little bit. How about you, two young whipper snappers.
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: I'm sure your dad showed you Star Wars. Is that
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: where you were introduced to it?
• 13:20
  Speaker 5: Uh?
• 13:20
  Speaker 3: Yeah, pretty much. Yeah, I was in by that.
• 13:24
  Speaker 5: We actually just watched one. Maybe two weeks ago, we
• 13:27
  Speaker 5: watched The Rise of Skywalker. I don't know that Nick
• 13:30
  Speaker 5: has seen all the movies. Henry's probably seen them all
• 13:33
  Speaker 5: by now, but but I have to really admit this
• 13:36
  Speaker 5: in public that I don't know that I showed them
• 13:38
  Speaker 5: in any logical order.
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: Oh, that was the question I was gonna ask, because
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: that's always something people always talk about. How should you
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: watch it? Should you watch it how was originally released
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: with the you know, four, five, and six? Or should
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: you watch it in order? Or just pretend that some
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: of them don't exist?
• 13:52
  Speaker 5: Yeah, and I think I probably at some point in
• 13:55
  Speaker 5: my life I had a thought of how I.
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: Should do it. You just didn't follow it through.
• 13:59
  Speaker 5: And then by the time, you know, movie night comes and.
• 14:03
  Speaker 4: You're just gassed, and it's you know.
• 14:06
  Speaker 5: You try to show them one thing and the next
• 14:09
  Speaker 5: thing you know, they're bored. And so I really I
• 14:11
  Speaker 5: kind of put the kids in the driver's seat on
• 14:13
  Speaker 5: that one. Which one do they want to watch? And
• 14:15
  Speaker 5: you know, it's I think it's a metaphor for parents.
• 14:17
  Speaker 5: So this is parenting, right, metaphor for parenting. The best
• 14:20
  Speaker 5: laid plans are useless because your kids get a vote
• 14:23
  Speaker 5: as well.
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: Is there something that you try to show them that
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: you were really hyped to show them and then they
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: end up not liking it? Or if you guys could
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: think of an answer that maybe your mom or dad
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: were like, you got to watch this movie. It's the best.
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: And then you're watching and you're like, you know, I
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: don't really like this, and you, as parents, do you
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: sense like, oh man, I wish they liked this.
• 14:42
  Speaker 4: We tried to.
• 14:43
  Speaker 5: Show them or was it missus doubtfire? Yes the other
• 14:45
  Speaker 5: day and we're like, you're gonna think this is so
• 14:48
  Speaker 5: funny Robin Williams, you know, he's stressing up as a
• 14:50
  Speaker 5: girl and uh, and they it just totally missed.
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's an interesting one. They might be a little
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: too young. I'm not saying it's a fence, but maybe
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: the you know, you guys might think it's funnier, you know,
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: five six years from now. That's That's definitely something that
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: I've had to deal with as an uncle. My niece
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: refuses to watch Et the Extraterrestrial, which is one of
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: my favorite movies, and I just try and convince her.
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: I show her clips and she just gets bored of it.
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: But then they end up finding things that they like
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: on their own, and it's something that I'm interested. My
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: nephew's into pro wrestling now and I get to show
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: them all the old pro wrestling clips. So it's just
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: like he organically fell in love with something that I like,
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: or Ninja Turtles or Ghostbusters or all these other things
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: that I grew up liking. He you know, found in
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: his own way and discovered it himself.
• 15:36
  Speaker 5: I do wonder, you know the way we grew up
• 15:39
  Speaker 5: where you were kind of binge watching, right, You had
• 15:42
  Speaker 5: the VHS's that you had or the tapes that you made,
• 15:46
  Speaker 5: and you would kind of watch them over and over again.
• 15:49
  Speaker 5: Now with Netflix and Hulu and they have literally access
• 15:53
  Speaker 5: to hundreds of movies, and I don't I just think
• 15:56
  Speaker 5: it's gonna be very different that they have much more
• 15:58
  Speaker 5: variety that they're watching now, not as often.
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: It's too many options, and it's it's very overwhelming. Even
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: as an adult. You go on you have all these
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: streaming services and there's thousands of things, and then they
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: have internet in YouTube, you can literally search anything on
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: YouTube and TikTok, and there's just so much content out there.
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: And like you said, when you were a kid, if
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: you had a VHS tape, you were gonna run that
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: thing till it broke pretty much you're gonna watch it
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: over and over again. So it's a. It's a much
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: different world. But let's get to the kids. I want
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: to talk to you guys about Star Wars. So what
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: is your favorite film in the Star Wars franchise? Is
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: there one movie from that, you know, whole franchise that
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: you really like the most?
• 16:35
  Speaker 3: Yeah?
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: Yes, I love the last one, the last one. That
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: is one of the hotter takes on the film real podcast.
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: That's almost up there with your Home Alone takes. The
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: last one. Also, which one it depends? I guess which
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: world you're living in. In my mind, it ends with
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: Return of the Jedi and there's nothing else after that.
• 16:56
  Speaker 5: That's right, I think. Are you talking about the Rise
• 16:59
  Speaker 5: of Skywalker, the one we just saw.
• 17:01
  Speaker 3: Yeah, the one, the last one that.
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: We saw the Yeah, for the fifth time.
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: That's the one where I was like, this might be
• 17:10
  Speaker 2: a little to advance for Nick. Yes, I think I
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: actually sent you out of the room.
• 17:15
  Speaker 3: No you didn't, No, No, he sneaked back in here.
• 17:19
  Speaker 5: Wow, it was a little dark there when you were
• 17:23
  Speaker 5: in the underworld.
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: Yes, some of Star Wars can be extremely frightening, and
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: you know, even just pictures of the back of the
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: DVD used to scare my cousin I remember, you know,
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: the Emperor is just a pretty frightening character. So how
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: about this, what is your Do you have a least
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: favorite film in the franchise? You know, can you differentiate
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: each film? Is is there one that you were maybe
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: bored with? For me, it's Attack of the Clones. I
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: thought that was just extraordinarily boring, and the romance I
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: don't think worked really well. I think the chemistry between
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: Natalie Portman and Hayden Christensen was just really awkward. And
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: Natalie Portman's actually a pretty talented actress when given the
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: right script. But I just think the script did not work,
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: and the you know, they bringing in politics, and I
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: think it's just confusing to a lot of people that
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: are trying to watch it. So for me, Attack on
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: the Clones Episode two is my least favorite. Keith, you
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: do you have a least favorite in the franchise?
• 18:14
  Speaker 5: I actually thought all three of those films in that
• 18:17
  Speaker 5: series were bad, the prequels, That's right, Yeah, I thought
• 18:21
  Speaker 5: all three of the prequels. I mean, Phantom Menace was
• 18:23
  Speaker 5: was just annoying in the long run.
• 18:26
  Speaker 4: But I agree with you. I think all three of
• 18:28
  Speaker 4: those were bad.
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: I think Revenge of the Sith has some moments that
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: aren't awful really.
• 18:37
  Speaker 5: When you think about it. The final three, right, the
• 18:41
  Speaker 5: Rise of Skywalker and Last Jedi and The Force Awakens,
• 18:46
  Speaker 5: it's almost the same movies as the first you know,
• 18:50
  Speaker 5: the original Star Wars, New Hope and whatnot.
• 18:53
  Speaker 4: It's just a different cast.
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: It's very lazy. Particularly the first one, The Force Awakens,
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: is just a very the second one, they took a
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: lot of risks. You don't like the second one either.
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: Episode two. Yeah, I do find that the new trilogy.
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: Say what you will about the prequel trilogy, they did
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: take a lot of risks, and they tried different things,
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: and a lot of it didn't work, but at least
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: it was something different, whereas the sequel trilogy really felt
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: a regurgitation of that original trilogy, and especially that first
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: one took no risks and it was just a very
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: safe movie, and it was something that I really didn't
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: care for The Awaken The Force Awakens, which I didn't
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: think was awful, but it was just I think it
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: was the least bad out of the sequel trilogy.
• 19:33
  Speaker 5: Yeah, and it's interesting, you know, there's there's a lot
• 19:36
  Speaker 5: obviously written out there about you know Disney and the
• 19:41
  Speaker 5: political side of you know, the female lead and you know,
• 19:46
  Speaker 5: regardless of where you kind of stand on, I mean,
• 19:47
  Speaker 5: I think she was a compelling character regardless.
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: Well, there's a there's a term for those types of
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: characters and I forget the name, but it's like a
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: something Sue. It's a character that basically has unlimited power
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: and there's no flaws in her and it's just not
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: written where it's relatable in any sense. And I felt
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: like they did that and Disney. Don't get me started
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: with Disney, because you know, they have a lot of
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: issues when it comes to politics and playcating to different countries,
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: especially China. They have they purposely will alter movies just
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: to Playkate to different countries, and I think that's just
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: a cheap and terrible thing to do. Let's get the
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: kids involved. I want to find out you have a
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: favorite character in all of the Star Wars movies. Who's
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: your all time favorite? Let's start with you, Nick, Who do.
• 20:35
  Speaker 3: You got Luke Skywalker?
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: Luke Skywalker? That is a very good answer. Is there
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: something you like about Luke is because he's a hero
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: and he always stands up for the little guy? Is
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: that what you like? Yeah, good answer, Henry. Where are
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: you going with your favorite Star Wars character, Chewbacca? Can
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: you give us?
• 20:53
  Speaker 5: Oh?
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: We need to hear this, Stacey. Let's hear your Chewbacca impression.
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: Come on, get up to the microphone. You're gonna have
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: to do it.
• 21:02
  Speaker 2: I don't can't, I literally can't recall.
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: That's that's a good one, Henry. I hear screaming outside.
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: Do you hear that?
• 21:16
  Speaker 4: Yeah?
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: There's a force, uh spirit outside of our door.
• 21:22
  Speaker 3: No, it wasn't. I promise, Stacey.
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: Were not moving on to.
• 21:30
  Speaker 2: Anywhere.
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: No, lovely, now here's something funny, guys. Oh, well, were
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: you gonna do one next?
• 21:40
  Speaker 4: Perfect?
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: They made a Star Wars holiday special that took place
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: the year after the movie came out. It was all
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: about Chewbacca's family and they had to celebrate something called
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: Life Day, and it's something that George Lucas, who created
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: Star Wars, has tried to wipe out from existence. It
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: aired once and he literally disowned it and he's tried
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: to destroy every copy of it. You can find bootleg
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: versions on YouTube, but it is terrible. Literally, like twenty
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: minutes is just wookie discussion. So they're just going. It's
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: him talking to like his son and the different kids
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: as a kid. Lumpy in it, and he's a little wookie.
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: It's terrible. I think you guys should actually watch it
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: during the holiday season because it is one of the
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: most awful things.
• 22:33
  Speaker 3: But said, it's table though, but you.
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: Can have fun with it. You can laugh at terrible stuff.
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: I'm sure you've watched terrible things and laugh.
• 22:39
  Speaker 2: Maybe it can replace Home Alone.
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah, the Star Wars Holiday special, but it was the
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: introduction actually of Bubba Fett. They had an animated section
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: and that was the first time that Bubbafette was ever
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: shown on any screen. So what about you, Keith, You
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: got a favorite Star Wars character?
• 22:57
  Speaker 4: Hot take Lando Calrissian.
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: All right, that's not bad. In the Empire Strikes Back,
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: he's really cool.
• 23:04
  Speaker 5: I mean, you know, he's not Yoda or Chewy that
• 23:08
  Speaker 5: gets to live forever, but he makes that okay in
• 23:11
  Speaker 5: the end.
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: He's very suave and cool and very interesting sort of
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: introduction to his character politician. Yeah, you think he's you know,
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: a slime ball, but he sort of has a redemption
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: arc and that's a good choice. Played by the Great
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: Billy d Williams, one of those iconic seventies eighties, and.
• 23:29
  Speaker 4: He always looks like he's having a good time.
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he's got the cape, he's got the mustache.
• 23:34
  Speaker 4: How about you justin thank you.
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: Keith for My favorite is actually Yoda, somebody you mentioned.
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: And I really like Yoda because, you know, it sort
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: of shows that you shouldn't judge a book by its cover,
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: because when Yoda's introduced and you don't know who this
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: Jedi is, You don't know who Yoda is. You just
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: see this Muppet character. You literally see like a guy
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: who looks like Kermit the Frog, and he's messing around
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: with Luke's stuff and he's going through his light you know,
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: flash and messing around, and then you realize, oh my god,
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: this guy who's one foot tall, eight hundred years old,
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: is the most powerful creature in the entire world. So
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: I think it's just to show that, you know, just
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: because you're tiny and on the outside, you could be,
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: you know, the most powerful thing in the world.
• 24:20
  Speaker 4: Look at me, fot me by my size?
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: Do you I love that switch? Because he starts off
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: as that muppet, then you will be you will be.
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: It's very serious and I just I think that character
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: is so great, and the puppet work by Frank Oz,
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: it's just absolutely brilliant stuff.
• 24:38
  Speaker 5: Did you get pretty excited in the prequels when he
• 24:40
  Speaker 5: when he just became badass and was fighting.
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: You know what? Funny story. So I saw Attack of
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: the Clones in theaters and that's the first time you
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: really get to see Yoda sort of do stuff like that,
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: you know, doing the flips and all that. And I
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: was into it until the audience started laughing. They started
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: laughing because this little muppet guy is doing flips, you know,
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: jumping all around, and I'm like, stop laughing, stop laughing. Yeah,
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: and then looking back at it, looking back at it,
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: I can actually see why it's funny. It is. It's
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: too much. It's that's another thing about the original movies. Yet,
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: the lightsabered battles aren't as crazy. It's not as acrobatic
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: as what you see in the prequel trilogy. But there's
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: nothing to those flips. They're just doing flips for the
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: sake of doing flips, and it's just a cgi monstrosity.
• 25:29
  Speaker 2: So did you like Baby Yoda, you.
• 25:31
  Speaker 4: Mean turn Yoda's spoiler alert?
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: I think that is.
• 25:39
  Speaker 3: Alert.
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: That is one of my favorite characters in recent years.
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: I think the characters adorable. Like every time that characters
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: on the screen, you can't help but smile. What do
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: you not like Grogu?
• 25:52
  Speaker 2: No I do.
• 25:53
  Speaker 4: I don't even.
• 25:53
  Speaker 2: I didn't finish watching that, Seriously.
• 25:56
  Speaker 4: We didn't finish.
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: It sort of falls off like all things. It starts off,
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: you're hyped, and then by season three it's just it's
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: nothing great. Yeah, so let's get to Let's get to
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: a discussion that me and Stacey had actually on our
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: morning show. Stacy does the Nasau Morning Madhouse with me,
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: and we talked about action figures or Stacey likes to
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: call them figuring figurines, which set me off.
• 26:19
  Speaker 5: Exactly a figures tourines.
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: Stacey called them dolls at one point, which is even
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: more infuriating.
• 26:34
  Speaker 2: Nick, do you know what action figures are?
• 26:37
  Speaker 3: Yeah?
• 26:38
  Speaker 2: What are they?
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: Into the mic? Nick, I don't know. Well, you play
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: with toys?
• 26:44
  Speaker 3: Yeah?
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: Do you play with Star Wars toys? One one? What
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: do you got? You got one one? Star Wars toy?
• 26:51
  Speaker 5: We we we used to have Star Wars figurines.
• 26:58
  Speaker 4: We used to have the figure.
• 27:00
  Speaker 5: She used to have Action Rey and uh Kyl Darth
• 27:06
  Speaker 5: Vader ever had Dart.
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: Once I stopped.
• 27:14
  Speaker 4: Playing with them, and we and Count me and Count Duke.
• 27:17
  Speaker 4: There you got.
• 27:19
  Speaker 2: So you didn't play with them. I did again.
• 27:27
  Speaker 4: I had them growing up. Yeah, absolutely, So.
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: They were a big thing. You know, they changed the
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: way toys were actually made because really, honestly, before nineteen
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: seventy seven, uh action figures were kind of like dolls.
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: There was a company called Migo which made very tall
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: doll action figures that were like eight inches tall than
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: the original G I. Joe's were twelve inches. And then
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: Kenner made these three and three quarter inch action figures
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: and then pretty much changed the way toys were going
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: to be made. Throughout the eighties. G I. Joe eventually
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: made three and three quarter inch figures, and you know,
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: Star Wars toys were so popular because this movie I
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: have like the box office numbers printed. I don't want
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: to bore the kids, but the original Star Wars movie
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: cost eleven million dollars to make and made seven hundred
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: and seventy five million dollars. Now that might sound crazy,
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: just like that, but adjusted to inflation, so basically money
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: was different in the seventies, so the dollar was worth different.
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: So in today's day and age, Star Wars would have grossed.
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: The original Star Wars movie alone would have grossed three
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: point five billion dollars, which is more than any Avengers movie.
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: It's more than you know, ninety nine point nine nine
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: nine percent of movies. It would have been pretty much
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: the second or third highest grossing movie of all time
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: adjusted for inflation, and the first time Avatar Avatar is
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: but adjusted for inflation would be gone with the wind,
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: which would have made I think close to five billion dollars,
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: you know, but that's nineteen thirty nine money, so much
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: different time. But Star Wars was so popular. They didn't
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: think it was going to be that popular. They had
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: no toys ready for Christmas, so the movie came out
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: in May. By the time Christmas season came along, they
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: had no toys to sell. So instead of giving toys,
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: they literally gave a piece of cardboard that said you
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: will be getting toys in a few months, and that
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: was like the number one selling toy that Christmas was
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: a piece of cardboard. It's like, so imagine that. Imagine that, guys,
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: instead of getting a toy on Christmas, Yeah, you just
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: got a sheet of paper. That said, you're gonna get
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: a toy eventually, would.
• 29:32
  Speaker 3: No, I probably would have sued the company.
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: Well, they didn't know it was going to be this
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: giant film, and I think kids were actually happy. They
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: I don't even think they cared that they weren't getting toys.
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: They were just so excited.
• 29:42
  Speaker 4: Their friends didn't even get the iou.
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly. At least I'm getting something in a few months.
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: So let's talk about if you could be any Star
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: Wars character. If there was one character, and we're not
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: talking who your favorite character is. If you could be
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: any character, who would it be. I'm gonna to start
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: with my guy job of the Hut, because I think
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: this guy has the best life. He just sits in
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: a chair all day, He eats food, He has pretty
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: girls dancing all around him, he has people serving him.
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: He gets to watch giant monsters eat people, and he
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: just gets to chill all day.
• 30:17
  Speaker 2: You want to watch giant monsters eat people, of course
• 30:19
  Speaker 2: I do.
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: You wouldn't want to just sit back, eat some popcorn
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: and watch a giant monster eat a guy, No, I would.
• 30:25
  Speaker 2: That's terrible.
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: I think that's the ultimate life. So if I could
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: live any Star Wars character's life. It would be job
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: of the Hut.
• 30:31
  Speaker 2: He's terrible.
• 30:33
  Speaker 4: What did you guys think?
• 30:35
  Speaker 3: Look, Skywalker piz like shame.
• 30:42
  Speaker 2: We'll have to Like, you want to use the lightsaber
• 30:48
  Speaker 2: shing him? Is that like when you bash him with
• 30:52
  Speaker 2: the lightsaber, he's making a slice hand knife slice hand.
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: You have to get him a lightsaber toy had those two?
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: What about you, Henry? Is there is there a character
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: you'd want to be?
• 31:07
  Speaker 2: Mm hmm Chewbacca, No, I don't want.
• 31:10
  Speaker 1: You have to shave every day.
• 31:14
  Speaker 2: Well, I want to be Ray. You want to be
• 31:16
  Speaker 2: Ray so I can fight good.
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: This is why we have Stacey. I'm just really profound,
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: fight good. What about you, Keith? Is there a character
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: you'd want to be? Is it Landau just a suave
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: cool dude?
• 31:31
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean for sure, but maybe uh maybe R
• 31:36
  Speaker 5: two D two that.
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: Would be a good lot.
• 31:38
  Speaker 5: He's kind of feisty, yeah, or maybe Hans Solo. I
• 31:41
  Speaker 5: mean I like the attitude. Yes, yes, he's kind of
• 31:44
  Speaker 5: a man's man.
• 31:46
  Speaker 3: I know what I want.
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: What do you want to be?
• 31:49
  Speaker 4: This is when you speak, I want to be He's
• 31:56
  Speaker 4: literally trying to think of a character.
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: We can edit all of a sudden.
• 32:03
  Speaker 3: C three PM.
• 32:05
  Speaker 1: Oh, it can be best friends with your dad?
• 32:07
  Speaker 4: Interesting?
• 32:07
  Speaker 5: Okay, Yeah, Usually it's the other way around. Usually I'm
• 32:11
  Speaker 5: the voice of reason and trying to rain you back in.
• 32:14
  Speaker 1: Well, I'm gonna go on a bit of a rant,
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: and Keith, maybe you could join me in this rant.
• 32:18
  Speaker 1: So I I'm me, Oh, yeah, well you said Ray,
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: you said you want to be Rayeh. Oh you want
• 32:23
  Speaker 1: to join in on the rant. You can join in
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: on the rant. I don't if you're gonna have any idea,
• 32:26
  Speaker 1: what the heck I'm saying.
• 32:28
  Speaker 4: Probably ha ha.
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: So here it is. George Lucas created Star Wars and
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: he directed the original movie from nineteen seventy seven. He
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: then wrote the next two movies, but did not direct them.
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: He was not the director of Empire Strikes Back in
• 32:45
  Speaker 1: Return of the Jedi. So years go by, and George
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: Lucas keeps on tinkering with these movies, and he keeps
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: on adding different elements to it, so he'll, you know,
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: he'll take away the original actor who played a certain
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: character in ed a character an actor that portrayed him
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: in the sequel or prequel trilogy. And he just keeps
• 33:04
  Speaker 1: on changing little things like, oh, the the Ewoks didn't
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: blink and Return to the Jedi originally, so now he's
• 33:10
  Speaker 1: going to digitally make them blink.
• 33:12
  Speaker 5: So here's a great example of that here. So we
• 33:15
  Speaker 5: listened to Return of the Jedi a month ago or so,
• 33:19
  Speaker 5: I remember, and actually.
• 33:21
  Speaker 4: Made them watch that. I remember that the differences.
• 33:26
  Speaker 5: Of the song the so and the celebration song.
• 33:33
  Speaker 4: Rid of It, and and and so I was.
• 33:36
  Speaker 5: I was excited to see it's been years since I've
• 33:38
  Speaker 5: seen Return of the Jedi and and uh.
• 33:40
  Speaker 4: And then I'm I'm like, what the hell is this?
• 33:43
  Speaker 4: What is going on here?
• 33:44
  Speaker 5: And so I forced them to watch it, and I
• 33:47
  Speaker 5: had them watch both, and I said, well, which which
• 33:49
  Speaker 5: version do you like better?
• 33:50
  Speaker 4: And the little scoundrels they liked the new version.
• 33:54
  Speaker 5: So maybe maybe maybe we're just maybe we're just original
• 33:58
  Speaker 5: as snobs and he actually was making things better.
• 34:02
  Speaker 4: I don't know.
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna disagree with that. And I will say that
• 34:06
  Speaker 1: I wouldn't even mind if these new versions were available.
• 34:09
  Speaker 1: I don't mind it. The fact of the matter is
• 34:11
  Speaker 1: you cannot get legally the original versions. They're not available anywhere.
• 34:17
  Speaker 1: Only if you have the original VHS tapes or the
• 34:19
  Speaker 1: original laser discs, things that are thirty years old. Will
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: you be able to watch the director's original intention? And
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: I think that's not right. He didn't even direct those movies,
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: so he's changing people that don't have a say. You know,
• 34:31
  Speaker 1: these directors are dead now, so they don't even have
• 34:33
  Speaker 1: an opportunity to fight that this is my movie. Why
• 34:36
  Speaker 1: are you doing this?
• 34:37
  Speaker 5: We need we need Taylor Swift to come up and
• 34:39
  Speaker 5: buy the original BA save everyone.
• 34:42
  Speaker 1: We need Irvin's version of Empire Strikes Back exactly. So yeah,
• 34:45
  Speaker 1: I just I just think it's terrible that, you know,
• 34:48
  Speaker 1: you're changing somebody that spent their hard time. I mean,
• 34:52
  Speaker 1: the guy who played these certain characters. They're never going
• 34:55
  Speaker 1: to be seen again. This might have been their shining moment.
• 34:58
  Speaker 1: Or a guy who worked on a special effect that
• 35:00
  Speaker 1: might have been something he talked about for years. Oh,
• 35:02
  Speaker 1: I did a special effect on Return of the Jedi.
• 35:04
  Speaker 1: I did the Eyes of the Ewoks, and now they
• 35:07
  Speaker 1: deleted my work. They deleted my work and there's no
• 35:10
  Speaker 1: way to find it. So I think George Lucas, who
• 35:12
  Speaker 1: sold the rights to Disney. Disney needs to release these
• 35:15
  Speaker 1: original versions of the original trilogy.
• 35:18
  Speaker 4: To start a petition.
• 35:19
  Speaker 2: So the current any DVD.
• 35:22
  Speaker 1: Any DVD, Blu Ray, it's going to be this altered
• 35:25
  Speaker 1: CGI monstrosity. Huh, it's terrible, exactly right.
• 35:28
  Speaker 2: So what about people who bought the vhs?
• 35:30
  Speaker 4: Those are the only ones that are still out there.
• 35:32
  Speaker 1: That's why I have my original VHS tapes because of
• 35:35
  Speaker 1: reasons like that. Do you know you never know when
• 35:39
  Speaker 1: media is going to be altered or taken away. They've
• 35:41
  Speaker 1: censored a lot of things on different episodes for movies
• 35:44
  Speaker 1: and TV shows they've gotten rid of on Disney Plus,
• 35:48
  Speaker 1: there's certain series that they get away episodes that might
• 35:51
  Speaker 1: be offensive in twenty twenty five, So you never know
• 35:54
  Speaker 1: when your physical media is going to be needed. Let's
• 35:57
  Speaker 1: get before we wrap things up, boys, what do you
• 35:59
  Speaker 1: look looking forward to do the rest of the summer.
• 36:02
  Speaker 1: You're gonna have the summer. I know you guys are moving.
• 36:04
  Speaker 1: What are you most looking forward to doing this summer?
• 36:07
  Speaker 1: Is it the beach? Is it the little pool? Action movies?
• 36:11
  Speaker 1: Hanging out and just playing video games? Maybe getting the
• 36:13
  Speaker 1: switch to perhaps no switch to.
• 36:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah, by the way, they've already started asking me for
• 36:20
  Speaker 2: a switch to. And you know why because you told
• 36:22
  Speaker 2: them about it.
• 36:22
  Speaker 1: I'm going to say for them, I'm gonna say, don't
• 36:25
  Speaker 1: get it. Don't get the switch to yet, because there's
• 36:29
  Speaker 1: no good games out for it yet. Think so wait
• 36:32
  Speaker 1: a while until there's actually something worthwhile getting.
• 36:35
  Speaker 3: I heard that you could put like the old games
• 36:40
  Speaker 3: inside then.
• 36:40
  Speaker 1: And you could, you could, which is nice that there's
• 36:43
  Speaker 1: backwards compatibility. Except yes, they've changed the graph Yeah, they
• 36:48
  Speaker 1: did special editions of the video games. So if you
• 36:52
  Speaker 1: put that, you know, the old version of Mario Odyssey
• 36:55
  Speaker 1: in your new switch To, it's going to be updated graphics.
• 36:58
  Speaker 1: I don't know how noticeable it's going to be, but yeah,
• 37:01
  Speaker 1: it's not noticeable at all. Right, Stacey, we're talking.
• 37:04
  Speaker 2: To people who grew up on the Nintendos. Like the
• 37:06
  Speaker 2: graphics you have on the Nintendo Switch are fine.
• 37:09
  Speaker 1: Yes, and there's a lot of Switch games. I'm sure
• 37:11
  Speaker 1: you guys haven't played yet from the original Switch. But
• 37:14
  Speaker 1: what are you guys looking forward to doing this summer?
• 37:15
  Speaker 1: Do you do you enjoy the summer? Do you enjoy
• 37:17
  Speaker 1: that you don't gotta go to school anymore for the
• 37:19
  Speaker 1: next couple of months.
• 37:20
  Speaker 3: I don't like to go to school.
• 37:22
  Speaker 1: What about you, Henry?
• 37:23
  Speaker 3: I'm gonna enjure. I'm gonna enjoy killing for the sun chilling.
• 37:31
  Speaker 1: What about you, Stacy? You got a hectic life in
• 37:33
  Speaker 1: the next couple of weeks, right.
• 37:34
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we have a big summer coming up because we
• 37:36
  Speaker 2: got a move, which I think is why they're they're
• 37:38
  Speaker 2: kind of not sure what they're gonna enjoy. They've never
• 37:41
  Speaker 2: been to where we're going with. You're gonna go to
• 37:43
  Speaker 2: camp and we're gonna take a little vacation.
• 37:47

  Speaker 1: I want to actually ask about gym class, because when
• 39:04
  Speaker 1: I was growing up, there was dodgeball. Then you always
• 39:06
  Speaker 1: heard there was no dodgeball. Do you guys, are you
• 39:09

• 39:21
  Speaker 1: gym class.
• 39:21
  Speaker 2: I don't remember.
• 39:23
  Speaker 4: Did you ever have to climb the rope?
• 39:25
  Speaker 1: Yeah? I obviously couldn't look at my arms.
• 39:28
  Speaker 2: I remember we had to do aerobics.
• 39:30
  Speaker 1: Aerobics do for that?
• 39:35
  Speaker 4: And the smoke cigarettes in the bathroom.
• 39:38
  Speaker 3: No. Never.
• 39:40
  Speaker 1: I was the champion of v sit reach, which is
• 39:43
  Speaker 1: like you bend over and you could stretch. I had
• 39:45
  Speaker 1: the record, but it was broken every year by a
• 39:48
  Speaker 1: young lad in the grade below me. So, Sean Burns,
• 39:51
  Speaker 1: if you're listening stretching contests right.
• 39:53
  Speaker 2: Now, I never set records in that.
• 39:58
  Speaker 1: What about you, Keith, I'm sure we were pretty good
• 40:00
  Speaker 1: with the athletics, right sure? What was Uh, let's get
• 40:04
  Speaker 1: a little bit about your background, because we got like
• 40:06
  Speaker 1: ten minutes or so, we had champion and dodgeball or
• 40:13
  Speaker 1: kickball or I.
• 40:14
  Speaker 4: Think we did. We did dodgeball back? We did? I
• 40:16
  Speaker 4: mean I went to a very small school.
• 40:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah, did you do red rover?
• 40:23
  Speaker 4: I don't know what that is?
• 40:24
  Speaker 2: Red rover? Red rover? Let justin come over and it
• 40:26
  Speaker 2: doesn't have to run and try to break through.
• 40:28
  Speaker 4: You didn't. I remember it.
• 40:30
  Speaker 1: I vaguely remember it.
• 40:31
  Speaker 2: You had a break through the chain of people, just
• 40:34
  Speaker 2: run through people.
• 40:37
  Speaker 4: It sounds sounds great. I'm sorry.
• 40:40
  Speaker 1: I used to play a game on the bus that
• 40:42
  Speaker 1: would never fly today. There was a red light on
• 40:44
  Speaker 1: the back of the bus, and the whole object was
• 40:46
  Speaker 1: you had to touch that red light. But you had
• 40:48
  Speaker 1: four or five people that were your blockers, and they
• 40:50
  Speaker 1: just had the body. You would push you and you'd
• 40:53
  Speaker 1: be climbing over the seats. And you know, I don't
• 40:55
  Speaker 1: think of today's day and age that would fly. Now.
• 40:58
  Speaker 1: As far as what you guys are doing in school.
• 41:00
  Speaker 1: Uh do you find it, you know, to be to
• 41:04
  Speaker 1: be difficult? I guess with all the technology that's around you.
• 41:08
  Speaker 1: I know your mom has limited you to cell phone usage,
• 41:11
  Speaker 1: but do you feel like, you know, having access to
• 41:14
  Speaker 1: the Internet of the computer, is that something that you
• 41:17
  Speaker 1: don't like? You wish you maybe grew up in a
• 41:19
  Speaker 1: time where there wasn't any computers or technology like that.
• 41:24
  Speaker 4: You do, why because.
• 41:27
  Speaker 3: Then I wouldn't have to worry about all that stuff,
• 41:29
  Speaker 3: and I wouldn't have to do typing stuff.
• 41:32
  Speaker 1: Well, you'd probably have to type on a typewriter, Yeah,
• 41:34
  Speaker 1: which is probably worse.
• 41:35
  Speaker 2: Actually harder.
• 41:36
  Speaker 3: No, No, No, that's what I harder.
• 41:39
  Speaker 1: All you have to do is keys, But then you
• 41:41
  Speaker 1: have to if you mess up, you have to use
• 41:42
  Speaker 1: like white out.
• 41:43
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you just like basically start over.
• 41:46
  Speaker 5: And that is tough for kids growing up nowadays. That
• 41:50
  Speaker 5: you make a mistake. We made lots of mistakes, and
• 41:53
  Speaker 5: of course, you know, people's memory was about all that
• 41:56
  Speaker 5: captured it. Now you make you make a mistake, you
• 41:58
  Speaker 5: say something stupid, and it never goes away. Yeah.
• 42:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, you're seven years old and you say something offensive.
• 42:06
  Speaker 1: If I use that, you know, fifteen years from now.
• 42:09
  Speaker 1: It's a wild world we live, and.
• 42:11
  Speaker 2: They'll never be on social media. It's a smart move,
• 42:14
  Speaker 2: or have cell phones.
• 42:15
  Speaker 1: They're never getting a cell phone.
• 42:17
  Speaker 3: I'm one myself.
• 42:19
  Speaker 2: There you go.
• 42:19
  Speaker 5: Man.
• 42:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah, if I had a cell phone in high school,
• 42:22
  Speaker 1: oh my god, I would not be allowed here.
• 42:26
  Speaker 2: I wonder if by the time these two are in
• 42:31
  Speaker 2: high school, well, I guess high school is still kind
• 42:33
  Speaker 2: of close for y'all. But I just feel like the
• 42:35
  Speaker 2: tides starting to turn and people are getting tired of
• 42:37
  Speaker 2: being online all the time.
• 42:39
  Speaker 1: It's something I try and limit myself to. If I'm
• 42:42
  Speaker 1: if I don't have to set an alarm for the
• 42:44
  Speaker 1: day and I just could wake up, you know, on
• 42:46
  Speaker 1: a Sunday, I will purposely leave my phone in a
• 42:49
  Speaker 1: completely different room right at nighttime, so I don't even
• 42:52
  Speaker 1: have access to it. I don't like being able to
• 42:55
  Speaker 1: look stuff up constantly, and I like living in the moment,
• 42:58
  Speaker 1: but it's it's addicting. I mean, it's it's right there
• 43:01
  Speaker 1: and you can look up anything, but you miss out
• 43:03
  Speaker 1: on so much if you're just looking down at your phone.
• 43:05
  Speaker 1: You know, you might miss out. If you're in a
• 43:07
  Speaker 1: baseball game, a home run or there's a pretty girl,
• 43:10
  Speaker 1: and you might not see. It's so many different things.
• 43:12
  Speaker 1: Certain scenes in a movie. You might just be looking down.
• 43:15
  Speaker 1: You're like, oh, what happened in that movie? You have
• 43:17
  Speaker 1: to rewind it. It's just terrible.
• 43:19
  Speaker 5: Yeah, Stacy, I fear you're wrong. I actually think we're
• 43:21
  Speaker 5: heading in the other direction, towards the Ready Player one. Yeah,
• 43:24
  Speaker 5: staying a kind of totally immersive.
• 43:26
  Speaker 1: We're gonna be five hundred pounds in recliners just with

• 43:32
  Speaker 2: So that's how the matrix ends up? Yes, yes, so
