50 Cent, Sweaters, and Slugzilla?! · Brainwaves

• 0:08
  Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to another exciting episode of Two
• 0:11
  Shot Tuesday. I am one of your hosts.
• 0:13
  My name is Jason Riley. You can tell because I'm wearing
• 0:15
  my old man cardigan sweater and I am with the young hip host
• 0:21
  Barry T Nixon in a sweet button down.
• 0:24
  Oh, thanks, Jay. That's a hell of an intro.
• 0:26
  Yeah, This is my kind of like Harvard rowing shirt.
• 0:29
  That's what it kind of looks like, but it's not.
• 0:31
  It's, you know, it's kind of fun, though.
• 0:32
  I was going for more of a scholastic look today.
• 0:36
  You really are. You are.
• 0:37
  You're pulling it off. It's like you ripped from an
• 0:39
  episode of Saved by the Bell, updated for the 21st century.
• 0:43
  I feel like I'm more of a Mr. Belding.
• 0:45
  This is actually of, you know, we're, we're, you know, deep
• 0:48
  into the, you know, late fall, soon to be winter season.
• 0:51
  And so I have, yeah, I have this sweater that I bought last year.
• 0:56
  I think it's an Old Navy or it's a Banana Republic.
• 0:58
  And I put it on and it's just so comfortable.
• 1:00
  It blends right into my the background there, the wall with
• 1:03
  the green on green. But it's my grandpa's sweater
• 1:06
  and it makes me feel good. I.
• 1:08
  Like it to put things in too. It's got little pockets.
• 1:11
  The only thing that gives me a little bit of pause is that
• 1:13
  you're not able to tell me the difference between Old Navy and
• 1:15
  Banana Republic. Those are two very different
• 1:18
  quality items. Yeah, again, this is one more
• 1:22
  thing that always surprises me about you, Jay.
• 1:24
  I we don't necessarily put too much weight into the brand names
• 1:28
  and we've had, we've talked about this on the broadcast many
• 1:30
  a time and if our viewers want to go back into the catalog,
• 1:34
  talk about that because we're not going to do it again.
• 1:36
  But again, no, it's just something that.
• 1:38
  But I will touch on this and I will say that I went to, there
• 1:41
  was a Bandit Republic store and an Old Navy store, and I went in
• 1:43
  and I was buying sweaters because I made an effort last
• 1:46
  year to purchase sweaters because I really don't wear
• 1:48
  sweaters or have sweaters Now I do thanks to last year's
• 1:52
  shopping. And I'm just bringing them out
• 1:53
  again. And anyway, we're getting deep
• 1:55
  into kind of unnecessary things, but they're like a couple.
• 1:59
  I do too. I do too.
• 2:01
  And if I. Just I just have to.
• 2:03
  A man from Sudbury is not accustomed to wearing or
• 2:06
  purchasing sweaters. Again, this is another mind
• 2:09
  blower, Jay. Maybe I was too many of them as
• 2:12
  kids, as a kid and I rebelled against them.
• 2:15
  I just didn't love the idea of pulling things over my head as a
• 2:18
  that kind of sweater, like, I don't.
• 2:19
  Wear turtles. Dangerous.
• 2:22
  It's true. They get stuck under there, dude
• 2:24
  can't breathe. Anyway, let's let's continue on.
• 2:29
  Before we get too deep, let's have our first shot.
• 2:31
  Yeah, let's go. You didn't say the first one was
• 2:33
  going to be in my honor, Jay. So I I can't wait to hear this
• 2:36
  toast. Absolutely.
• 2:37
  Because you, you know, we're ready to get ready to record.
• 2:40
  Suddenly you sent this going. I can't find the recording
• 2:44
  session in my calendar anywhere. You just assume that you had
• 2:47
  misplaced it. I had not set it up for you, and
• 2:50
  that was my mistake. And so, for being a patient,
• 2:53
  understanding person, I visited my local today and I picked up
• 2:56
  some of the original Tula Mordeu, one of our favorites.
• 3:00
  I haven't had it in the house for a while, and I'm going to do
• 3:02
  the first shot of the bottle. The first two really, but this
• 3:05
  one specifically in your honor, what have you got?
• 3:08
  Well, I appreciate you, Jay. And I'm sticking with the
• 3:10
  Bareface whiskey that we discovered some time ago at
• 3:14
  Whiskey Global. So it's still, it's still going
• 3:17
  and I absolutely love it. It's so tasty.
• 3:19
  Nice. Here's to you.
• 3:24
  That is delicious. All right, before we get too far
• 3:26
  afield, I do want to make mention of something that I'm
• 3:29
  very excited about. I could tell just coming in,
• 3:32
  just your energy is just there. I'm busting Jay Linda and I have
• 3:37
  procured tickets to see a hip hop legend who is coming to town
• 3:41
  before Santa squeezes his big old butt down the chimney.
• 3:46
  We're going to see $0.50. And I'm telling you right now,
• 3:51
  when he sings Pimp Live, there will not be a dry eye in the
• 3:55
  house because every everyone there is going to be the same
• 3:58
  age, late 40s, fifty, you know, perfect.
• 4:04
  And everyone knows that song. The fact that he incorporated a
• 4:07
  steel drum into a hip hop track has still never been replicated
• 4:11
  to my knowledge. And even if it were, it's never
• 4:14
  been done as well as he did it. So I can't wait.
• 4:18
  It's going to be amazing. He's coming to rebel.
• 4:21
  Only 2500 people, Jay. Yeah.
• 4:23
  Very intimate setting for a legend like like him.
• 4:28
  I mean, I think that's kind of probably what he's pulling these
• 4:30
  days, you know? He's now.
• 4:31
  Let's not be unkind. I don't want to be unkind and I
• 4:34
  got to say Fiddy sounds more like an executive producer Linda
• 4:38
  Lebrun choice that you are the plus one for.
• 4:41
  I would imagine she found this for you.
• 4:43
  No, I'm the one who drove the bus.
• 4:45
  Really. Yeah.
• 4:47
  For fiddy, what made you? Now, this is a shock to our
• 4:51
  friendship, and it's not often that a shock like this kind of
• 4:54
  rockets in and reverberates through.
• 4:56
  I would have never pictured $0.50 on your playlist.
• 5:02
  Yeah, nor would I have ever suspected that you had a had
• 5:04
  trouble buying sweaters. So this is just like that in
• 5:07
  reverse. That's just incredible.
• 5:09
  OK, it's shocking, shocking revelations is what you can say.
• 5:14
  OK, tell me, when did this love affair with $0.50 start?
• 5:18
  Was it cemented at the Super Bowl a couple of years ago when
• 5:20
  he made an appearance? I mean, I don't know if it was
• 5:23
  cemented then I always enjoyed his music, but I really love
• 5:26
  that song. Pimp.
• 5:27
  I got to be quite honest with you.
• 5:28
  To me it's one of the best, if not the Best Hip Hop song ever
• 5:32
  recorded. He's has a a whole bunch of
• 5:35
  other ones which I can't wait to hear live, But that one in
• 5:38
  particular, I, I just, oh, it always resonated.
• 5:42
  I'm not a pimp, but I can no put my my mind.
• 5:46
  You know, when you hear it, it's like you've been transported
• 5:50
  into this. We're all pimps.
• 5:51
  And you know, he was just, it's just an awesome track.
• 5:55
  It really is. And the steel drum you need.
• 5:58
  To hear it live. So I hope the steel drum is
• 6:00
  there because that is a central part of that song.
• 6:02
  I was asking Linda about that. She suspects it will be there,
• 6:06
  but it will be pre recorded because he's probably not going
• 6:09
  to lug the steel drum to Rebel Nightclub.
• 6:12
  Yeah, I could be wrong. I hope I'm wrong, but we'll see.
• 6:15
  Me too, yeah. What are the seats like?
• 6:19
  There's no seats, it's general admission.
• 6:21
  Is it OK? Yeah, I.
• 6:22
  Don't know how general works. Yeah, there's no tiers of VIP.
• 6:26
  There is an upper level where you could get up to, but it's
• 6:29
  basically first come, first serve.
• 6:30
  But there's only 2500 people, so that's pretty, pretty cool.
• 6:34
  Like we're not going to see him at Scotiabank or some other
• 6:36
  giant venue where you might not even be able to see him.
• 6:38
  We're actually going to be able to see him.
• 6:40
  So you'll be there. You'll be right close to fiddy.
• 6:43
  We'll be right there and believe you me, there will be a full
• 6:46
  review at a later date once we enjoy that show.
• 6:49
  And Jay, it's cool. It's very cool to see somebody
• 6:52
  of this level at such a small venue.
• 6:55
  Now if you get close enough during a break in the songs,
• 6:58
  maybe you can ask him if he wants to be on the show.
• 7:01
  I definitely will ask. Him, yeah, flash the QR code so
• 7:05
  he'll love us on YouTube because we do wherever we go.
• 7:08
  We've got AQR code on our phones.
• 7:10
  Another idea of yours and executive producer Linda Lebrun,
• 7:13
  that's on our phones. If you run into us, please ask
• 7:16
  us and we'll be happy to, if you're not already a subscribe
• 7:19
  to our YouTube channel. You can become a subscriber
• 7:22
  instantly. And let me just mention it's
• 7:24
  100% free. Yes, it is.
• 7:27
  And I, I witnessed your magic with the QR code when we were at
• 7:31
  the Whiskey Global event. It was unbelievable.
• 7:34
  I was watching, I was on set at Glengarry Glen Ross.
• 7:37
  You were Alec Baldwin. You were closing and you weren't
• 7:40
  taking no for an answer, but you did it in the most polite,
• 7:44
  amazingly smooth way. You, you know how to finesse
• 7:46
  situations. That's what you're about.
• 7:50
  OK, well, you know what, Barry? Thank you for saying that.
• 7:53
  And let me say that we made some some friends there who have now
• 7:56
  we did follow us on our socials. They've commented.
• 7:58
  The Bareface Whiskey has commented because we've talked
• 8:02
  about how much we enjoy that too little more do commented.
• 8:05
  I don't know if you saw that they commented about.
• 8:07
  Yeah, because we talked about them as well.
• 8:09
  And so I think in their honor now, we should raise shot #2
• 8:13
  since we're drinking one from each of them.
• 8:15
  Sounds perfect. Bareface too little more do.
• 8:19
  Cheers to you. Hmm, that's so good.
• 8:25
  The notes are singing there. It's like $0.50 in my mouth.
• 8:29
  Well, that's awkward to say. Well done, I love that's all.
• 8:33
  You're going to say. I thought you're going to say
• 8:36
  like a like a Christmas, like an entire choir was in your mouth.
• 8:40
  That's what I imagine. Strange $0.50 Would it be in my
• 8:44
  mouth? OK, let's talk about something
• 8:46
  else. Let's talk about we not that
• 8:49
  long ago. In fact, it was just in our last
• 8:51
  episode, we were talking about Shin Godzilla versus Into the
• 8:54
  Mouth of Madness and Barry. We made the decision you watched
• 8:59
  In the Mouth of Mad in, in or into.
• 9:01
  It's just in. In the mouth of madness.
• 9:04
  You're into it. You could, you could say into.
• 9:06
  I mean, it's up to you. I just want to hear how did it
• 9:09
  go? A quick update for our our
• 9:12
  audience, including yeah, how did, how did the movie go?
• 9:15
  Did you? Was that the right pick for you?
• 9:17
  It really was. And thank you once again for
• 9:19
  taking on that enormous responsibility for selecting my
• 9:23
  entertainment for that evening. It was.
• 9:25
  What I'm here for, yeah. Yeah, in the in the mouth of
• 9:27
  madness. If you're thinking about picking
• 9:28
  it up in 4K, don't even think about it.
• 9:31
  Just go ahead and slam the buy button.
• 9:32
  It looks and sounds fantastic. There's lots of really cool
• 9:35
  supplemental material as I often I always sing the praises of the
• 9:40
  non disk swag that's included with arrow releases and this one
• 9:43
  is no different. I also.
• 9:45
  Watched Aero releases, we talked about my spawn.
• 9:47
  Fortunately, most carry on. Yeah.
• 9:50
  And for yeah, they, they kind of, they didn't deliver with
• 9:54
  spawn, but we also touched on that as 2000 reasons why they
• 9:57
  didn't do that. Yeah, carry on.
• 9:59
  Now let's hear about the other Shin Godzilla.
• 10:02
  Did you end up watching that at all?
• 10:04
  And do you want to? I did give a quick review to our
• 10:07
  audience on that. I will Shin Godzilla.
• 10:10
  I read somewhere that it was basically a remake of the very
• 10:13
  first one that came out in the 50s and and it is sort of that
• 10:18
  story. Nobody knows what this creature
• 10:20
  is. It somehow pulls itself out of
• 10:22
  Tokyo Bay, starts to, at first he's just kind of Slytherin, But
• 10:26
  as the movie goes on, it starts to evolve and then eventually
• 10:29
  takes the form of the Godzilla that we're all familiar with.
• 10:32
  But not at 1st. At first it's just kind of like
• 10:34
  a slug, almost where its arms hadn't even fully.
• 10:38
  Yeah, grown out, has a long tail, its eyes look a bit weird,
• 10:42
  but it starts to grow and become the Godzilla that we know.
• 10:46
  But it's very much the villain versus in -1 it didn't really
• 10:52
  have that. It wasn't so much the villain,
• 10:55
  if I recall correctly. Yeah, you can back me up on
• 10:58
  this. Yeah, well, I enjoyed.
• 11:00
  Like an anti hero. Yeah, exactly.
• 11:03
  So you did say, you know, don't have any preconceived notions.
• 11:06
  I I tried not to, but I did find myself thinking about the other
• 11:11
  movie. I got to be honest, there were
• 11:13
  parts of it that like this one was, it was very much kind of
• 11:16
  like a, OK, the militaries that they're in the war room, they're
• 11:19
  trying to decide what to do versus in -1 there was like that
• 11:23
  whole kind of story of the guy who ends up getting a sudden
• 11:26
  family after his own family had been wiped out.
• 11:29
  And so there was more of a like a heart in -1 versus this one I
• 11:34
  felt didn't really have a lot of heart.
• 11:36
  I didn't care about any of the non human characters and I
• 11:39
  barely cared about Godzilla. So I don't know.
• 11:41
  Yeah. How long is he a slug for in the
• 11:43
  movie? Much of it.
• 11:45
  Long enough that you start to notice Why is he still a slug?
• 11:49
  Yeah, I don't. It's like because you're paying
• 11:51
  for Godzilla, you're not slug of Godzilla.
• 11:54
  Like, yeah, that's what I would have thought too.
• 11:57
  So Shin Godzilla. Yeah, it's it's an interesting
• 12:01
  entry. Is it better than -1?
• 12:04
  I don't think so. I'd say it's three out of five.
• 12:07
  OK, well, I don't have to borrow it from me at some point.
• 12:10
  Sure, I do want to see it. As a competist, I wouldn't mind.
• 12:13
  Yeah, you can borrow it and you can just borrow it long term if
• 12:17
  you wish. OK, well said.
• 12:19
  All right, three out of five. All right.
• 12:21
  I think it's time for us to go, to RIP from the headlines
• 12:24
  because that's what we do. It's time to give you your news,
• 12:28
  our listeners and viewers. You've sent a few through again
• 12:31
  from our friends@bbc.com. If you're going to get your news
• 12:34
  anywhere but here, get it from bbc.com.
• 12:37
  All right, let's look at this first one.
• 12:39
  Barry Stone Tool Discovery suggests very first humans were
• 12:45
  inventors. Yeah, yeah.
• 12:48
  I thought that was interesting. Not just Cavemen, but actually
• 12:52
  like thinking like they're coming up with new things.
• 12:55
  They that makes it sound like they did something with purpose.
• 12:57
  How would you interpret that? Yeah, I think it completely
• 13:00
  makes sense because otherwise how did we get to where we are
• 13:03
  today if we didn't have our very, very early ancestors
• 13:07
  thinking? Like the very first ones.
• 13:10
  Like you know what I mean? This says they didn't discover
• 13:13
  it. They didn't like discover a a a
• 13:15
  a stone shovel, but they were in need of a shovel.
• 13:19
  They found something that sort of behaved like a shovel.
• 13:22
  Is what exactly? Yeah, Yeah.
• 13:24
  It's not the type of shovel that you might procure a Canadian
• 13:26
  Tire today, but it's something that could have moved dirt back
• 13:30
  in their time. What might they have called a
• 13:33
  shovel when they first discovered it?
• 13:35
  That's good. I don't know.
• 13:37
  I'm not even sure at this stage. They had language.
• 13:39
  They might have still been kind of grunting, and they might even
• 13:41
  still have been covered in hair. Like, remember that movie Quest
• 13:44
  for Fire? And they tried to.
• 13:46
  Yeah. So it might have been in that
• 13:47
  stage where they were just sort of grunting and pointing, a lot
• 13:52
  of pointing, I think back then. What about Hand Plus?
• 13:55
  If I had discovered it and I came to you and said, Barry, I
• 13:58
  found this thing. It helps us move the dirt like
• 14:00
  our hands, but it doesn't make our hands hurt.
• 14:02
  And I'm going to call it Hand Plus.
• 14:04
  What would you love? It I would have said.
• 14:06
  Cause shovel is not really there.
• 14:08
  Like it's a shoving the dirt. I get it, you're shoving the
• 14:11
  dirt. But hand plus you would have
• 14:13
  went, you would have supported me on hand plus if I would have
• 14:16
  pitched that around the village. I would have been so excited.
• 14:19
  I would have built the biggest bonfire in your honor.
• 14:21
  And you know, we would have had enormous pig roast in your honor
• 14:26
  because you came up with something before language even.
• 14:29
  And why would you have called it a bonfire?
• 14:32
  What made it a bonfire I'm wondering.
• 14:35
  Think of another good question. Yeah, what did that?
• 14:38
  What made it a bonfire? Yeah, What's a bon?
• 14:41
  I don't know, Like it's. Bon in French.
• 14:43
  It's Bon. Maybe French was the first
• 14:44
  language. It's a good fire.
• 14:46
  Yeah. And so there's like part French,
• 14:48
  part English, and that came together to form our language as
• 14:51
  a bonfire. Bonfire.
• 14:53
  I mean, I think we're really on to something here.
• 14:55
  I think we're really piercing together these things.
• 14:58
  I've got one more RIP from the headlines if we let's do that
• 15:00
  one as far as we can. Yeah, I think, I think we have,
• 15:03
  yeah. How about this?
• 15:04
  It's a question. Is this the world's wildest
• 15:08
  Airbnb? And it's a picture I'll show it
• 15:11
  of it looks like something floating in the Arctic Ocean.
• 15:16
  Yeah, I went a little bit of a touch beyond the headline for
• 15:19
  this one, Jay. That's actually in Greenland.
• 15:22
  All right. That's in Greenland.
• 15:23
  OK. Greenland.
• 15:25
  Something's floating a floating house in Greenland.
• 15:28
  And the you can Airbnb. You went beyond the headline, So
• 15:31
  what is it? Is this You can actually Airbnb
• 15:33
  it? You can, apparently.
• 15:35
  Now, I didn't go too deep. I just went deep enough to find
• 15:37
  out where the heck it was and it turns out it's Greenland.
• 15:41
  Or Greenland, if you will. Yeah, would you ever Airbnb a
• 15:45
  floating house in a glacial area?
• 15:48
  I think I'm not opposed to it, I've never Airbnb anything but I
• 15:52
  would be open to it. That's interesting.
• 15:55
  Yeah, never, never. Aldo Roman and I have executive
• 15:58
  producer Aldo Roman. I did in the Cayman Islands in
• 16:01
  2020, right before the pandemic, literally days before the
• 16:06
  pandemic descended on us. Rented.
• 16:08
  Yeah, it was. This was like a professional
• 16:10
  Airbnb or where they had, yeah, a unit in a condo and they just
• 16:13
  rented it out again and again and again.
• 16:15
  It was a nice experience, actually.
• 16:16
  We didn't have a problem with it.
• 16:17
  Well, that's cool. So it wasn't.
• 16:19
  Floating. Yeah, It wasn't floating.
• 16:20
  It wasn't floating. Yeah.
• 16:21
  So one more step. How do you get I wonder how you
• 16:24
  get to an Airbnb that's floating in the water.
• 16:27
  How would you? I would imagine you'd either
• 16:28
  paddle or you'd get there by some kind of one of those
• 16:30
  biplanes that have the pontoons so you can land in the in the
• 16:34
  lake. Yeah.
• 16:35
  Now, could you Uber that? Imagine that you Uber a pontoon
• 16:39
  plane and then you Airbnb a house.
• 16:42
  Yeah. Floating in Greenland, they
• 16:44
  might have that, or else how else would you do it?
• 16:46
  And then you skip the dishes in some dinner.
• 16:49
  Like you're doing everything on apps, delivery apps, residential
• 16:53
  apps, traveling apps. I'm, I'm, I'm going beyond the
• 16:56
  headline with you here. Yeah, you certainly are.
• 16:58
  Yeah. Yeah, you could have some, you
• 17:00
  know, barbecued reindeer in Greenland because I think that's
• 17:02
  one of the things that they they do enjoy up there.
• 17:05
  They do they BBQ reindeer I. Don't know if it's BBQ, I assume
• 17:08
  that it is. You could.
• 17:10
  I think fire is involved in the cooking at some point.
• 17:14
  Maybe not a not a bonfire and everyone is still trying to
• 17:17
  figure out tools and they're all covered in hair.
• 17:20
  Yeah, the end. Hand plus, I think that's what
• 17:22
  we're going to call the shelf and the.
• 17:23
  Plus, that should be the name of this episode.
• 17:26
  It might be, yeah. Well, Jay, I think that is our
• 17:29
  time once again. There's so many things we can
• 17:32
  cannot wait. I should say, to touch on for
• 17:35
  the future. We know there's a lot happening.
• 17:37
  We're not able to say anything. We have a gag order in effect,
• 17:41
  but some super exciting things are happening here and I can't
• 17:44
  wait to to buckle in and join you for that.
• 17:48
  We should mention that the movie guy is returning for a a future
• 17:54
  review and we're going to be talking about Do you want to
• 17:57
  talk about? Yeah, it's the new Predator
• 17:59
  movie. It's actually going to be our
• 18:00
  very next episode that comes out.
• 18:02
  This movie's been out for Yeah, Badlands.
• 18:05
  This movie's been out for a little while now.
• 18:07
  You guys checked it out, you went to see it, and now you're
• 18:10
  going to be ready. You've formulated an opinion and
• 18:13
  you're going to be ready to share that with our audience.
• 18:17
  Yes. Should they check it out?
• 18:18
  Should they not check it out? Is this something, maybe it's a
• 18:20
  holiday movie, I don't know. You're going to tell us once
• 18:23
  again, I haven't seen it. So I'm going to rely on you and
• 18:26
