  Speaker 3: It is intended for mature audiences and parental discretion is advised.
• 0:35
  Speaker 4: Our nuclear reactor pumping out one million kilowatts of power.
• 1:06
  Speaker 5: What's up and welcome to Movie Meltdown.
• 1:08
  Speaker 6: I'm Brian.
• 1:08
  Speaker 7: I'm Fred. I'm Marlena. And we are coming to you
• 1:34
  Speaker 7: live via digital recording from Fred's backyard. We were like, hey,
• 1:39
  Speaker 7: what do we want to do this week, guys? And,
• 1:41
  Speaker 7: you know, it's actually been a horrible, horrible winter. And
• 1:44
  Speaker 7: most of you probably have had the same situation. And
• 1:47
  Speaker 7: for once, all of a sudden, these last few days,
• 1:50
  Speaker 7: it's like ridiculously nice outside. So Fred's plan was, hey,
• 1:54
  Speaker 7: let's have a backyard bonfire episode.
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, I've been wanting to build a fire in
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: the backyard for, like, weeks and weeks, and I never do.
• 2:06
  Speaker 7: And this is the excuse.
• 2:07
  Speaker 3: So, here we are.
• 2:10
  Speaker 7: There will be s'mores. Busting out the podcast and the s'mores.
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: There were. My hands are really sticky still.
• 2:18
  Speaker 7: And I invented, mostly because Fred says he hadn't heard
• 2:20
  Speaker 7: of it before, I invented s'mores tartare.
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we had a catalog of all the possible ways of...
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: cooking marshmallows, who are going to do a marshmallow cookbook.
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: That that was one contribution that I had never.
• 2:38
  Speaker 7: Trademark, copyright, tagged it right here. I had one earlier.
• 2:41
  Speaker 7: It's pretty good, actually.
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: I wonder what a peep in Nutella s'more would be like.
• 2:46
  Speaker 7: Now you're getting crazy.
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: I hate peeps. I hate them with a burning passion. See,
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: I think I like them more if I understand, like,
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: current copyright law. It's like calling shotgun. You just go copyright.
• 3:02
  Speaker 7: You kind of do.
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 3:03
  Speaker 7: I think that's how it works.
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: That's the new mode.
• 3:08
  Speaker 7: Pretty sure that's what works. Especially on a podcast. I
• 3:13
  Speaker 7: think I like peeps a little more because everyone else
• 3:15
  Speaker 7: I know seems to hate them now. You're kind of
• 3:19
  Speaker 7: winning me over.
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: I used to have a peep binge eating problem. I
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: would hide boxes of them in my trunk because I
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: was ashamed.
• 3:27
  Speaker 7: That was my favorite. They would usually be in the car.
• 3:30
  Speaker 7: I would get in the car and be like, why
• 3:32
  Speaker 7: are there all these peep boxes?
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: Yeah, because I had a problem.
• 3:35
  Speaker 7: You're like, I've got to get my fix, man. I've
• 3:38
  Speaker 7: got to get my fix.
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: Peeps Anonymous.
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: Now I just don't even want them. I got a
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: couple of them a few months ago. My friend texted
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: me to tell me that they were Peep Donuts at
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: like Krispy Kreme or Dunkin' Donuts or someplace like that.
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: But, nah.
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: It doesn't appeal to me. I beat my addiction. Four
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: years Peep sober.
• 4:00
  Speaker 7: Laughter I just like putting.
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: Them in a microwave and watching them suffer.
• 4:08
  Speaker 7: I do like when they kind of explode and start
• 4:11
  Speaker 7: to melt and burn. It's pretty fun.
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: Or put them on a stick, hold them over a fire.
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: I don't eat them.
• 4:18
  Speaker 7: You just torture them.
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: It's one of those things.
• 4:20
  Speaker 7: You might have a problem.
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: I feel like peeps are one of those things, like
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: Betty Boop and Hello Kitty, that my family, for some reason,
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: thinks that I really, really like. Like, my mom always
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: buys me Peeps. They're like, Peep stuff.
• 4:33
  Speaker 7: So you have a Peep-themed kitchen now. You know what
• 4:36
  Speaker 7: my thing is? Is pecan pie.
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: My mother is convinced that every time I visit, she's
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: got to get me a pecan pie. And we come
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: back and we have these pecan pies we don't know
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: what to do with.
• 4:50
  Speaker 7: Give them to me?
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: I like them okay, but I mean, I'm just not
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: addicted to them. I feel like I'm not living up
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: to the... I think I said something once, like when
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: I was a kid, about my grandmother's pecan pies, which
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: were good. And I think my cousin said, oh, I
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: love my grandma. And I thought, well, that's a nice
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: thing to say. I'll say that. And for like 20
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: years after that, I've been bombarded with pecan pies.
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: I kind of feel like that way at work with Nutella.
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: You know, like I like Nutella. If there's a jar
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: of Nutella around, it's going to get used up. But
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: my boss and everyone thinks I'm like addicted to Nutella.
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: Like I just like.
• 5:32
  Speaker 7: You got to hook to an IV at home. Yeah.
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: Like I'm just at home eating Nutella night and day.
• 5:38
  Speaker 7: Jamming it through a tube.
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: So that's how I ended up with a seven pound
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: bucket of Nutella. And everyone's like, oh, that Nutella is
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: going to be gone in a couple of days.
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: I'm like.
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: Who the fuck do you think I am?
• 5:51
  Speaker 7: First of all, ladies and gentlemen, I would die. Like,
• 5:54
  Speaker 7: you'd see that on the news.
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: I know I have a sugar addiction. Like, it's really bad.
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: But it's not that bad. I'm not that bad. I
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: eat leafy greens all the time.
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: You feel like you can't live up to your vice commitments?
• 6:08
  Speaker 7: I mean, the last.
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: Time I used it, I put it in a spinach smoothie.
• 6:15
  Speaker 7: That's a weird option.
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: No, it's not.
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: I'm taking a minute to think about that. I know.
• 6:22
  Speaker 7: I knee-jerk went with it.
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: No.
• 6:24
  Speaker 7: Weird.
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: Yeah, my boss vomited in his mouth when I told
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: him what I'd done with the Nutella that he bought me.
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: It's not weird. I put peanut butter PB2 sometimes in
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: my smoothies.
• 6:36
  Speaker 7: Most people do, but that doesn't make it okay.
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: The thing I can't stand is when people sit up. say,
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: oh yeah, we were out of tahini, so we just
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: used peanut butter. It's the same thing.
• 6:45
  Speaker 7: It's like, God, no, it's not.
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: Don't do that.
• 6:48
  Speaker 7: Peanut butter from Israel.
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: Stop! It is not the same thing. Yeah, no.
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: It's not even close.
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: Oh, God. Now I'm just, I'm done for the night now.
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: I just creep myself out.
• 7:03
  Speaker 7: Well, we're on.
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: There are things you don't do. Lines you don't cross. Yeah.
• 7:10
  Speaker 7: We're on the road to our geek activities here. So, hey,
• 7:14
  Speaker 7: have you seen anything lately?
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I saw Oldboy, and I'm like, I don't see
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: what the big deal is. The new one. I don't
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: see what the big deal is. It's not like he
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: substituted peanut butter for tahini or something. I mean, the
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: guy has straight up killed a bunch of people, and
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: then it.
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: Oh, that was not a good idea. Yeah, yeah. But
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: I don't see what the big freak out is about.
• 7:41
  Speaker 7: Which freak out are you talking about? I mean, people
• 7:43
  Speaker 7: have always freaked out about that movie to the point
• 7:46
  Speaker 7: of the old one. And I was like, it was
• 7:49
  Speaker 7: a long time that I heard about the old one
• 7:51
  Speaker 7: before I ever got around to watching it. And I
• 7:53
  Speaker 7: watched it and I was like, what's the big thing? Yeah,
• 7:57
  Speaker 7: I mean, that part, kind of violent.
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: All right, whatever.
• 7:59
  Speaker 7: The end, kind of creepy. But truthfully, I kind of
• 8:02
  Speaker 7: like it. I think it's got a really cool... I
• 8:05
  Speaker 7: hate to say twist because that ruins every movie now,
• 8:07
  Speaker 7: but I'm like, I like the way they went with
• 8:09
  Speaker 7: the story. Like, I think it's interesting. I don't know
• 8:12
  Speaker 7: why everybody freaked the fuck out. So, like, I kind
• 8:14
  Speaker 7: of felt that way about the original.
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: I don't know. I just, I haven't seen the original.
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: And I want to see it now because I've heard
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: that the new one is so different. It's like, oh, well,
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: that sounds interesting. Because I just felt, like, led along and, like,
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: I just didn't really care about it. And I felt
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: like the proposition of this evil guy setting up this
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: thing that had about a 1% chance in a fucking
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: bazillion of happening the way he wanted it to happen.
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: I just, I don't know. Come on.
• 8:54
  Speaker 7: I don't know that it's any more logical or realistic
• 8:57
  Speaker 7: in the other one either, but.
• 9:00
  Speaker 7: I mean, it's... It's all just kind of crazy and stylish, yeah.
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: And you can go along for the ride for fun,
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: but I don't know. I don't know, man.
• 9:11
  Speaker 7: I still had a good time with it.
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: It's a long way to go. It's like making up
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: a word to achieve a pun. You're trying too hard, then.
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: You know?
• 9:23
  Speaker 7: Oh, shit.
• 9:26
  Speaker 6: Oh, shit.
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: You're just trying too hard to make something happen. So, yeah,
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: I saw that, and I saw... Did I tell you
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: I saw, again, the first movie I ever saw in
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: a theater? I've been putting it off for so long.
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: It's one of the oldest, like, vivid childhood memories I have.
• 9:52
  Speaker 7: Which movie is this?
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: Hang Your Hat on the Wind. Interesting. And I ordered
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: it online. I got the DVD. and then I just
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: like didn't feel like doing it for a long time
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: because I felt like you know what if.
• 10:08
  Speaker 8: It's nothing you know because I had a really specific
• 10:14
  Speaker 8: memory of like the title hearing the title and thinking
• 10:19
  Speaker 8: When I get back home from this in a.
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: Couple hours, I'm going to know how to hang my
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: hat on the wind. And I was so excited about, like,
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: I'm going to get something out of this experience. And
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: I watched that whole movie, and there was no hanging
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: of hats. Until the very end, there's this shot, you know.
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: I think there was a promo shot early on. You see, okay,
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: there's the hat. We're going to see how to hang it.
• 10:49
  Speaker 7: That's how they rope you in with that trailer.
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: But it was, I didn't remember much of the rest
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: of it. But it turned out it was a story
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: about like a thoroughbred horse that got loose somewhere in
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: the desert. This Native American boy finds the horse, becomes
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: his best friend. But then, of course, all good things.
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: He has to do the right thing and Was.
• 11:16
  Speaker 7: This originally like a book at some point?
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: It may have been.
• 11:20
  Speaker 7: In the book, the kid has to do something horrible.
• 11:22
  Speaker 7: I don't know. It seems like that's every book they
• 11:25
  Speaker 7: made me read in grade school. And it ends with
• 11:28
  Speaker 7: something horrible happening.
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: Like where the red fern grows.
• 11:31
  Speaker 7: At some point, they made me read. Has anyone else
• 11:36
  Speaker 7: ever heard of this book? A Day No Pigs Would Die.
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I do remember that. That's awesome. I never read it,
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: but I remember seeing it around.
• 11:45
  Speaker 7: I just remember being kind of bored slash horrified by it. Well,
• 11:50
  Speaker 7: that was most of the books in grade school, which
• 11:52
  Speaker 7: is why I quit reading. But I don't know. I'm
• 11:55
  Speaker 7: just like, is this the way all kids' books are?
• 11:58
  Speaker 7: They have to end with some horrible act. I don't know.
• 12:01
  Speaker 7: I don't understand why they want to just depress the
• 12:03
  Speaker 7: hell out of children.
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: I think they're really trying to drill it into kids'
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: brains that, like, all your pets, everything that you love
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: is going to die. That's, like, the first lesson. You're
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: going to learn that lesson anyway. No, that's, like, the
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: first lesson they want to teach you when you get
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: to school. Because they made us read Old Yeller and
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: Where the Red Fern Grows in, like, first grade. Watch
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: the movies, too.
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: What was the other one? Like, They Kill Horses, Don't They?
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: I never read that one, either. Oh, yeah. I've read
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: a lot of, like, SRA stories. We had, like. selected
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: reading assignments, and I would just go to school over
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: and over, and I went to this bizarre laboratory school
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: that had mirrored booths in all the classrooms so we
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: could be observed, and there were microphones in the ceiling.
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: And I started, like, the first year, and there was
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: all this futuristic optimism surrounding it. But anyway, I could
• 12:59
  Speaker 2: go into school and go over and read and hang
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: out under a table on the, Stretch out with pillows
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: and stuff. And I read like a shit ton of stories.
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: One of the ones I remember most vividly was about
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: this guy. There were river gangs around where he was
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: growing up. But he was crawling around. He found this
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: cave where this old man was carving all these relief
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: sculptures into the walls. But then some of the other
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: kids followed him and destroyed all the sculpture. all the
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: relief carvings. And then he decided he was going to
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: join the opposing gang and get revenge. And it was
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: super dark. Oh, the old man died or something. Super dark.
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: And then one day, my teacher in third grade announced
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: that Fred Miller has read more SRA reading than anybody else.
• 13:59
  Speaker 7: In the class.
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: And then it was a contest and everybody started reading
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: them to see how far they could get.
• 14:05
  Speaker 7: And in your crazy future school, it was THX 1138
• 14:09
  Speaker 7: has read more books than the rest of you people.
• 14:12
  Speaker 7: And you will all be punished now.
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: And then I quit reading. I quit reading cause it
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: sucked all the fun. It was like just my way
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: of getting through the day for a while. And, uh,
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: and then there was this recognition attached to it, which
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: I never got again. Um, And then, like, everybody was like, oh,
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: I'm up to the blue level. Are you up to
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: this level? I was like, I don't know. You were like,
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 14:38
  Speaker 6: I forgot.
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: I was just pulling them out at random.
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: It's like how Candy Crush was only fun until all
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: your friends were like, what level.
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: Are you on? Just like that.
• 14:48
  Speaker 7: Exactly like that.
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: Just like that.
• 14:50
  Speaker 7: Remember when you were in grade school and you were
• 14:51
  Speaker 7: playing Candy Crush?
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: It's like when you've got to go to work and
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: you're like, I think I left my car keys on
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: level four.
• 14:59
  Speaker 7: I'll be back in about six hours.
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: I think we should, like, begin by making fun of Greg.
• 15:08
  Speaker 7: I think he's kind of asking for it, really.
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: We were kind of waiting for Greg. It would have
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: been cool if he could be here. But I think
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: my understanding is he's old. Is that what happened?
• 15:20
  Speaker 7: That's what I heard.
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: He's old.
• 15:23
  Speaker 7: The tail's around the campfire. Literally, we have a campfire.
• 15:26
  Speaker 7: So we can do that.
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: Ooh, we should tell ghost stories.
• 15:29
  Speaker 6: Oh, yeah.
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: Let's tell ghost stories.
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: Let's do it. Do you have ghost stories?
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I haven't talked about my poltergeist yet.
• 15:35
  Speaker 7: Oh, yeah. Is this a different update on the poltergeist?
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: Did I talk about the poltergeist already?
• 15:40
  Speaker 7: You mentioned it.
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: I thought the poltergeist turned out to be you. No.
• 15:45
  Speaker 7: You were dead the whole time.
• 15:46
  Speaker 2: You had this psychological split personality and.
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: It was you. That was one of the hypotheses.
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: Oh, okay.
• 15:52
  Speaker 7: We did cover some hypotheses.
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: Oh, we did talk about my poltergeist?
• 15:56
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 15:57
  Speaker 2: Oh, okay.
• 15:58
  Speaker 7: This was at the film festival.
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: You sound so disappointed. We can talk about it again.
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: No, it's okay.
• 16:04
  Speaker 7: Were you not there for that episode that you were
• 16:06
  Speaker 7: there for?
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I was there.
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: Why do I know your stories better than you do?
• 16:09
  Speaker 7: Why do I say that pretty much every time you're on?
• 16:12
  Speaker 7: I'm like, no, remember in that story?
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: We already talked about that. Yeah, sorry.
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: But it was weird because one day somebody was asking me,
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: he said, you know, you never see Hot Damn anymore.
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: Remember that? You see the fireball cinnamon? And I'm like, no,
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: a friend of mine sees it fairly often. I think
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: it's still around. He said, I thought they quit making it.
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: And I'm like, Unless somebody has stored up this cave,
• 16:40
  Speaker 2: this trove full of the stuff.
• 16:43
  Speaker 7: Which they might.
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: Dude, what if they have, I'm going to investigate that.
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: Wouldn't it be weird if they have stopped making hot dams?
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: That would add a twist to it. Wouldn't it? That
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: would be weird, like if they quit making it in 96.
• 16:53
  Speaker 7: What if the hobo was, at one point, the president
• 16:58
  Speaker 7: of the hot dam industry.
• 17:00
  Speaker 3: Oh.
• 17:00
  Speaker 7: And he got, like, everything fell apart, and his wife
• 17:04
  Speaker 7: left him, and he lost the company, and all he
• 17:06
  Speaker 7: had was his, like, warehouse of hot damn.
• 17:08
  Speaker 6: Maybe.
• 17:08
  Speaker 7: Somewhere next to your building, wherever you moved to. I know.
• 17:13
  Speaker 2: It's so weird. Like that place that made the deep
• 17:16
  Speaker 2: fry baskets. That's right.
• 17:18
  Speaker 7: You should go find that place.
• 17:20
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: I mean, don't get me wrong. I definitely considered the
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: possibility of, like, some weird Tyler Durden, like, parallel reality
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: where i'm hot damn hobo but then i realized like
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: oh no my butthole would tell me if i've been
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: drinking lots and lots and lots.
• 17:36
  Speaker 2: Of hot dance true.
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: I would know like my insides would tell me like
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: i could feel it but i was like not in
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: that personality.
• 17:44
  Speaker 2: Yeah buttholes will alert you to certain situations special.
• 17:50
  Speaker 7: Feature there yeah.
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: It's like the video camera on the back of minivans.
• 17:56
  Speaker 2: I was thinking they're like the lookout on the castle.
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 18:01
  Speaker 2: They will alert you when there's... It's true. Or like
• 18:06
  Speaker 2: the guy who climbs up to the crow's nest on
• 18:08
  Speaker 2: a ship. Ahoy! You've been drinking a lot of hot damn.
• 18:15
  Speaker 4: Ahoy, Cap'n. Please stop. God, stop.
• 18:30
  Speaker 2: Well, you talked about that and it made me think
• 18:33
  Speaker 2: of this movie from the 70s that I remembered about
• 18:36
  Speaker 2: this kid like he he got into trouble and his
• 18:39
  Speaker 2: mother was like taking care of him and then his
• 18:42
  Speaker 2: mother died, but she had built like a false wall
• 18:46
  Speaker 2: in the house to hide him. What?
• 18:48
  Speaker 7: I don't, you do know we've covered this on the show, right?
• 18:51
  Speaker 7: Have you covered it on the show?
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: I remember talking to you about it. No, I haven't
• 18:56
  Speaker 2: heard that episode.
• 18:57
  Speaker 7: I know of it is like, I don't know that
• 19:00
  Speaker 7: I'd been like scarred by this movie. Like a lot
• 19:02
  Speaker 7: of other people were, they were like, remember that one movie? Like,
• 19:05
  Speaker 7: I don't think I knew anything about it until at
• 19:06
  Speaker 7: one point, I think Rod brought it up at one
• 19:10
  Speaker 7: point and was like, dude, we need to watch that.
• 19:11
  Speaker 7: And we watched Bad Ronald. Bad Ronald.
• 19:15
  Speaker 2: No, I remember talking to you about it, but I
• 19:17
  Speaker 2: haven't heard that episode.
• 19:19
  Speaker 7: Yeah, it might still be there. I can't remember. They've
• 19:21
  Speaker 7: started to fall off the further back you go.
• 19:25
  Speaker 2: I mean, from childhood, you remember things like Bad Ronald
• 19:29
  Speaker 2: and the Trilogy of Terror. You remember if you saw that. Bulldozer. Killdozer. Killdozer. That's... Yeah.
• 19:38
  Speaker 2: You remember seeing it, though.
• 19:40
  Speaker 7: I've heard of this one.
• 19:41
  Speaker 2: Oh, and it was the one with the guy with
• 19:43
  Speaker 2: the puppet.
• 19:45
  Speaker 7: Magic.
• 19:46
  Speaker 2: Magic, yeah.
• 19:48
  Speaker 7: I was thinking like TV movies, because then I was like,
• 19:50
  Speaker 7: because somebody was printing the day after the other day.
• 19:57
  Speaker 7: And I was just like, oh, the movie that scarred
• 20:00
  Speaker 7: a nation. And that's the thing, I haven't watched it
• 20:03
  Speaker 7: since then, so I'm like, I really don't know if
• 20:05
  Speaker 7: it's going to hold up. I kind of feel like
• 20:07
  Speaker 7: it's not. I feel like it's going to be... Like,
• 20:10
  Speaker 7: really lame and pale in comparison to the way my
• 20:12
  Speaker 7: brain remembers, you know. Yeah, it's basically just what happens
• 20:16
  Speaker 7: when a nuclear bomb goes off. Oh, that sounds depressing.
• 20:19
  Speaker 7: And how America deals with it in 1984.
• 20:23
  Speaker 2: Or whatever year.
• 20:24
  Speaker 7: Maybe it was that. I don't even.
• 20:25
  Speaker 2: Remember what it was.
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: I wasn't born yet. I didn't have to deal with it.
• 20:28
  Speaker 7: You're going to have trouble dealing with it, don't you worry.
• 20:30
  Speaker 2: That's so crazy that people weren't born in 1984.
• 20:32
  Speaker 7: I don't believe it.
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: It's weird that I have classmates who... Kurt Cobain has
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: always been dead to them.
• 20:41
  Speaker 7: I've read that.
• 20:43
  Speaker 2: You mean in the Stephen Colbert sense? Like, you're dead
• 20:46
  Speaker 2: to me.
• 20:47
  Speaker 7: You're dead to me. Ever since you did that Unplugged album, dude,
• 20:51
  Speaker 7: you're just dead to me. Punk is dead now. I
• 20:55
  Speaker 7: hope you're happy.
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: Yes, that's exactly what I meant.
• 20:59
  Speaker 2: Oh, I thought so. Yeah, but the thing about Bad
• 21:03
  Speaker 2: Ronald was I saw that movie when I was a
• 21:05
  Speaker 2: kid and I just... You know, it impressed me that
• 21:09
  Speaker 2: this guy could live in a house. And I saw
• 21:12
  Speaker 2: something on the internet not long ago. These people discovered
• 21:16
  Speaker 2: like a little door in their house. Oh, I saw that.
• 21:19
  Speaker 2: And then these little cubby holes. And then there was
• 21:22
  Speaker 2: like fresh food and crap down there. Like somebody had
• 21:25
  Speaker 2: been there. Yes.
• 21:27
  Speaker 7: I saw those pictures. Yeah.
• 21:29
  Speaker 2: And it reminded me of that movie, which I didn't
• 21:31
  Speaker 2: remember the name of it or anything. But I always
• 21:34
  Speaker 2: remembered it because... I found it comforting. I always felt
• 21:38
  Speaker 2: like if everything in life went wrong, you could drywall
• 21:43
  Speaker 2: yourself and live. Yeah, you had a backup plan like
• 21:48
  Speaker 2: Homer living under the sea on The Simpsons.
• 21:51
  Speaker 7: Were you on that episode? I can't remember if you
• 21:53
  Speaker 7: watched that one.
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: No, I don't think so.
• 21:56
  Speaker 2: Jessie might have been there.
• 21:57
  Speaker 7: She's only sat in once and I think maybe we
• 22:00
  Speaker 7: scarred her brain with that movie.
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that sounds really terrifying. I'm thinking about.
• 22:03
  Speaker 2: Like You should, like, go around and knock on all
• 22:06
  Speaker 2: the drywall in your apartment.
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: Well, it's all bricks, so.
• 22:09
  Speaker 7: Is it? Yeah.
• 22:10
  Speaker 2: That's even worse.
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: I know, right?
• 22:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah, because bricks, you know, that could be like a
• 22:16
  Speaker 2: cask of Amontillados. Yeah, I know.
• 22:18
  Speaker 7: Maybe he could pull one out and just kind of
• 22:20
  Speaker 7: peek around and see, like, is she drinking the hot
• 22:22
  Speaker 7: damn thing?
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: Well, I'm trying to think about, like, the perimeters of
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: my house and make sure everything.
• 22:27
  Speaker 2: Like, matches.
• 22:28
  Speaker 7: Matches.
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 22:30
  Speaker 2: That's really hard to do because, like, in there, if
• 22:32
  Speaker 2: you go into my bathroom... You notice the ceiling's lower? Mm-hmm. And, like,
• 22:38
  Speaker 2: I could actually go in and cut off the top
• 22:42
  Speaker 2: of the bathroom and put in, like, a little bed
• 22:44
  Speaker 2: up there over top of it.
• 22:47
  Speaker 7: And why haven't you? That's the guest room right there.
• 22:49
  Speaker 2: Well, I've talked about it a lot of times, but
• 22:53
  Speaker 2: the ceiling fan sort of messes it up.
• 22:56
  Speaker 7: You'll learn after a few times.
• 22:57
  Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly.
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: I watched an episode of Bob's Burgers the other day
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: where he found a little crawl space in his walls,
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: and he decided he wanted to live there until his
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: mother-in-law went away. So I've actually been thinking about this
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: for the last two days.
• 23:12
  Speaker 2: So there's that, and then also I've got this crazy
• 23:16
  Speaker 2: attic up there that I never go up to, but
• 23:21
  Speaker 2: there are beds and you could live up there. And
• 23:24
  Speaker 2: I thought if the hippies were out drumming tonight, If
• 23:27
  Speaker 2: we would have to go up, it would be the
• 23:29
  Speaker 2: crazy attic episode. So we'll have to do that another time.
• 23:33
  Speaker 2: That would be really fun. Oh, there's an old Super
• 23:36
  Speaker 2: Mario set up there, too.
• 23:39
  Speaker 7: Why aren't we up there right now?
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: I don't think, I mean, as far as I know,
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: I don't have any secret rooms. I mean, my roof
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: is flat. It's not like a pitched roof, so there's
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: not an attic space. There's maybe a crawl space big
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: enough for raccoons.
• 23:55
  Speaker 2: Or like a doorway into John Malkovich's head.
• 24:01
  Speaker 7: When I cut a hole in the wall and take
• 24:03
  Speaker 7: over that place next door, which is what my plan is.
• 24:06
  Speaker 7: It's always kind of in my plan.
• 24:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 24:08
  Speaker 7: Just kind of waiting to get in there.
• 24:09
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: Wouldn't that be so weird if they accidentally knocked the
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: wall down?
• 24:13
  Speaker 7: They seem like they're trying to some days. Like they're
• 24:16
  Speaker 7: over there remodeling something. And I swear I think they're
• 24:19
  Speaker 7: just going to come through at some point. Oh, sorry, dude.
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: I think side-by-side duplexes.
• 24:24
  Speaker 7: Pretty sure.
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: Side-by-side duplexes are so weird.
• 24:28
  Speaker 7: It's a bad idea.
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: I mean, like, I live in a duplex, and I
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: love it, but I live in a top-floor, bottom-floor duplex,
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: which makes sense. A side-by-side duplex is just dumb.
• 24:37
  Speaker 7: It's just a weird idea. It's like, we're almost going
• 24:40
  Speaker 7: to do this the right way, but we're going to
• 24:43
  Speaker 7: slack off at the last minute.
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: It's just like sharing too many walls.
• 24:47
  Speaker 2: The first house I owned was an upstairs-downstairs duplex, and
• 24:53
  Speaker 2: that was the only way we could buy a house.
• 24:55
  Speaker 7: Mm-hmm.
• 24:56
  Speaker 2: There was this place where the tenants would basically make
• 25:00
  Speaker 2: the house payment. And it was our house.
• 25:04
  Speaker 7: Free housing is a good thing.
• 25:06
  Speaker 2: It was a total scam. But the karma of it
• 25:10
  Speaker 2: gave us the worst tenants that have ever walked the earth.
• 25:15
  Speaker 2: I mean, just like the sound of these people in
• 25:18
  Speaker 2: a building with you was terrifying.
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 25:21
  Speaker 2: After a while, you'd just be like, I can't live
• 25:24
  Speaker 2: with these sounds like this in my house.
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: What were they making? What kind of sounds were they making?
• 25:29
  Speaker 2: I don't know. People, you know, screaming at their kids
• 25:31
  Speaker 2: in a completely unnecessary way. It's just horrible. So we
• 25:36
  Speaker 2: got on this list where we got actors from the
• 25:39
  Speaker 2: children's theater would come live at our house. And they
• 25:43
  Speaker 2: were okay, but the weird thing is, when I was
• 25:46
  Speaker 2: renting for like a thousand years... People would always say, oh,
• 25:50
  Speaker 2: you'll never get your deposit back. And I always got
• 25:54
  Speaker 2: my deposit back. And I'm like, what is going on?
• 25:57
  Speaker 2: Now I know what's going on. People just trash the place.
• 26:02
  Speaker 7: That's kind of what I've heard from the people that
• 26:04
  Speaker 7: will buy houses and rent them.
• 26:06
  Speaker 2: They might as well leave their pets there and stuff.
• 26:09
  Speaker 2: It's like, you haven't moved out of this place, man.
• 26:13
  Speaker 2: You're not getting your deposit back. And they're like, oh,
• 26:16
  Speaker 2: that's what I heard. It's like, well, yeah. We always,
• 26:21
  Speaker 2: because Lynn is insane, we always left the place looking
• 26:26
  Speaker 2: better than when we moved in. You know, she would
• 26:29
  Speaker 2: be going around scrubbing stuff.
• 26:32
  Speaker 7: I'd be like, come on, we're done.
• 26:34
  Speaker 2: We're out of here. Yeah.
• 26:36
  Speaker 7: We got a new house to go mess up.
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: Come on, let's go. I've always left my houses that
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: I lived in by myself, at least. in better shape
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: than when I got there.
• 26:47
  Speaker 7: Then those other deadbeats got involved.
• 26:52
  Speaker 2: Some guy drinking a bunch of hot damn.
• 26:54
  Speaker 7: I don't know what happened in that place. Then my
• 26:56
  Speaker 7: other side of my brain kicked in and I trashed
• 26:59
  Speaker 7: the place.
• 26:59
  Speaker 2: Yeah. It seemed like that one room got smaller at
• 27:04
  Speaker 2: some point.
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 27:06
  Speaker 7: Other rooms getting smaller.
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: Actually, if I think about it, there's like a weird
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: space Between my bedroom, okay, like, there's one of my
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: bedrooms and a closet, but it doesn't go the length
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: of the bedroom. But then the kitchen's right next to it,
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: and it's like a flush wall.
• 27:24
  Speaker 7: So if you're the person out there living in her
• 27:29
  Speaker 7: walls and you're listening, just kind of knock and let
• 27:32
  Speaker 7: her know you're there.
• 27:33
  Speaker 2: It would be really cool, like, if the person that
• 27:37
  Speaker 2: lives in your house was a listener. And a fan
• 27:41
  Speaker 2: of the show.
• 27:42
  Speaker 7: That'd be great.
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: I'm going to have to call a neighbor.
• 27:45
  Speaker 7: Maybe a supporter. It'd be nice if somebody contributed a little.
• 27:49
  Speaker 7: If somebody contributed a little. You don't have to live
• 27:53
  Speaker 7: in Marlena's malls. Send in a theme.
• 27:56
  Speaker 2: Every now and then. That would be great.
• 27:59
  Speaker 7: Maybe that'll be like a top tier. If you donate
• 28:02
  Speaker 7: a lot, you can live in Marlena's walls for a while.
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: Stop joking about this because I feel really bad I
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: have this friend who lives really close. And like the
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: other day, a hobo jumped out of the bushes. And
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: I was like, there's a hobo outside. He's like, I'll
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: be there in 20 minutes. I just make him come
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: over and inspect my house for me. He's going to
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: get really tired of me.
• 28:27
  Speaker 7: I like that you live in a world where hobos
• 28:29
  Speaker 7: just jump out of the bushes.
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: I mean, he didn't really jump out of the bushes.
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: Let me clarify. He didn't jump out of the bushes
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: at me.
• 28:39
  Speaker 2: Um, He just jumped out of the bushes randomly.
• 28:43
  Speaker 7: He was doing hopscotch over by the bushes.
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: Sort of. No, okay. Like, what was that?
• 28:52
  Speaker 7: Hobos.
• 28:52
  Speaker 2: Hobos.
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: No, I have, I don't know if it's because I have,
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: I have like, I think everybody has it if they
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: pay attention, but I have intuition. Like, I can sense
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: when something bad is going to happen.
• 29:05
  Speaker 7: Sense when hobos are nearby.
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: And I can sense when other people are around.
• 29:08
  Speaker 2: Hobo radar.
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: That's not anything unusual. I can do that. And I
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: was walking my dogs around the block like I always do.
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: And I took my mace out of my keychain thing,
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: which I've never ever done.
• 29:22
  Speaker 7: I accidentally shot myself in the face. Isn't that usually
• 29:26
  Speaker 7: what happens with people who have?
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: No.
• 29:28
  Speaker 2: Once my friend's kid. If you get in a fight,
• 29:31
  Speaker 2: you hand the other guy nunchucks so that he can
• 29:33
  Speaker 2: hurt himself with them.
• 29:36
  Speaker 7: I'll have to keep that in mind when I bust
• 29:38
  Speaker 7: out my rubber chest.
• 29:39
  Speaker 2: Here, guy, go to town.
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: I think the house is abandoned on the corner, and there's, like,
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: a bunch of, like, overgrown bushes, and my puppy, like,
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: went into the bushes, and, like, she startled someone. I
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: was like, oh, no.
• 29:54
  Speaker 2: This is sad.
• 29:55
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: And I was like, oh, and I, like, ran. And
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: then I was just like, well, it's probably just a
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: homeless person. Probably not like a serial killer, knock on wood.
• 30:06
  Speaker 2: I hope you have hobo stab insurance. You know what
• 30:11
  Speaker 2: that's from? It's from... No, that's from Acceptance. Accepted. The
• 30:18
  Speaker 2: movie about the kids that start their own college. And
• 30:21
  Speaker 2: I think Jonah Hill says, I hope you have hobo
• 30:24
  Speaker 2: stab insurance. That line stayed with me. I was thinking
• 30:31
  Speaker 2: of asking my insurance guy at State Farm, do you
• 30:35
  Speaker 2: have the hobo stab insurance?
• 30:38
  Speaker 7: What's the going rate for hobo stab? What's my deductible
• 30:43
  Speaker 7: going to be? I mean, really, come on now.
• 30:46
  Speaker 2: Or get on the.
• 30:49
  Speaker 2: The website and see if that's something you can get.
• 30:52
  Speaker 7: Something you can click on.
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: I wonder if they offer that. They now offer motorcycle insurance.
• 30:56
  Speaker 7: That's true.
• 30:57
  Speaker 2: I would like to get Geico because then like if
• 31:00
  Speaker 2: I lost an arm or something, it could grow back.
• 31:05
  Speaker 2: That would be good insurance.
• 31:07
  Speaker 7: I mean, do they also like merge you with their mascot?
• 31:11
  Speaker 7: Some sort of fly experiment that goes on. We want
• 31:14
  Speaker 7: you to get into this phone booth here with this gecko.
• 31:17
  Speaker 7: Is that cool? We're going to beam you across the room.
• 31:21
  Speaker 7: It's all right.
• 31:21
  Speaker 2: So nobody tell Lynn, but our first house that we bought,
• 31:26
  Speaker 2: where we had the crazy tenants, back then I worked
• 31:31
  Speaker 2: at the Speed Museum, and these two guys there said,
• 31:34
  Speaker 2: you bought that house? This guy we know died under
• 31:37
  Speaker 2: that house.
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: Under the house?
• 31:39
  Speaker 2: Under the house.
• 31:40
  Speaker 7: Not in the house.
• 31:41
  Speaker 2: When they were renovating the house, this guy was doing
• 31:44
  Speaker 2: electric work, and they worked on it too, and they
• 31:47
  Speaker 2: were there. And this guy somehow grabbed onto the electric
• 31:52
  Speaker 2: and couldn't let go.
• 31:54
  Speaker 7: It was just so much fun, he couldn't let go. No,
• 32:00
  Speaker 7: I'm hopefully.
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: Laughing because I'm thinking about this time that one of
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: my friends got electrocuted and it was hilarious.
• 32:05
  Speaker 2: Oh, that's hilarious.
• 32:06
  Speaker 7: Not shocked, actually electrocuted.
• 32:09
  Speaker 2: People use those words interchangeably.
• 32:10
  Speaker 7: Yeah, they kind of do, and I don't think it's
• 32:12
  Speaker 7: the same.
• 32:13
  Speaker 2: Shocked.
• 32:13
  Speaker 7: I don't think I got electrocuted that time when I
• 32:15
  Speaker 7: was messing with the plug-in on the dryer. Which, by
• 32:18
  Speaker 7: the way, don't grab a hold of those metal, Pete,
• 32:20
  Speaker 7: just for you kids at home.
• 32:23
  Speaker 1: Okay, I don't know the difference.
• 32:24
  Speaker 2: You can explain it to me in a second. Anyway,
• 32:25
  Speaker 2: I think it's fatal if you're electrocuted, isn't it?
• 32:27
  Speaker 7: Pretty sure it is.
• 32:28
  Speaker 2: I always hear that implication that you're dead when I
• 32:32
  Speaker 2: hear that word, but I don't know. But they said
• 32:34
  Speaker 2: he told them to turn off the power, and they
• 32:41
  Speaker 2: turned it off, and he said thank you, and that
• 32:43
  Speaker 2: was the last thing he ever said. Shit. And so
• 32:46
  Speaker 2: I had to crawl up under the house because we
• 32:48
  Speaker 2: had one floorboard, like as you went from one room
• 32:51
  Speaker 2: to another, that was just sort of like up on
• 32:54
  Speaker 2: one side. And I had to crawl under there.
• 32:57
  Speaker 7: That's just when you put a rug over top of it.
• 32:59
  Speaker 2: And like, well, we did that for a long time,
• 33:01
  Speaker 2: but it bothered me. And I went in and like
• 33:04
  Speaker 2: had to saw with a little hand hacksaw to get
• 33:07
  Speaker 2: that thing. And it was the most awkward, painful position.
• 33:11
  Speaker 2: And it's like you're doing sit-ups for four hours. to
• 33:15
  Speaker 2: get that but I got it so it sat down.
• 33:17
  Speaker 7: Plus there was that ghost next to you the whole
• 33:19
  Speaker 7: time which was really creepy and I.
• 33:21
  Speaker 2: Told the guys at work like yeah I had to
• 33:23
  Speaker 2: fix this thing under the house I was crawling around
• 33:25
  Speaker 2: under there and they said oh did you think about
• 33:27
  Speaker 2: what's his name dying.
• 33:29
  Speaker 7: How can you not how can you not think about
• 33:33
  Speaker 7: the guy that died under there.
• 33:35
  Speaker 2: So after all that work Lynn gets home and I'm
• 33:40
  Speaker 2: like so look around the room here you notice anything
• 33:44
  Speaker 2: She's like, it seems bigger. I'm like, yeah, by about
• 33:49
  Speaker 2: like an eighth of an inch, I guess. You're right.
• 33:52
  Speaker 7: It does kind of seem like something she'd say.
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: She's just very, very hyper observant.
• 34:03
  Speaker 2: I feel that. The room has expanded a little.
• 34:07
  Speaker 1: I can sense it.
• 34:08
  Speaker 7: I can just sense it.
• 34:12
  Speaker 2: I think I made a point of never telling her
• 34:14
  Speaker 2: about the dead guy while we lived. I may have
• 34:16
  Speaker 2: told her now.
• 34:17
  Speaker 3: I don't know.
• 34:18
  Speaker 2: Because eventually I tell everything. Sooner or later at all.
• 34:22
  Speaker 7: Yeah, you run out of other stuff.
• 34:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 34:26
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: I checked and no one's died in my house.
• 34:29
  Speaker 2: You checked?
• 34:29
  Speaker 7: There's a site for that now?
• 34:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's called Died in House.
• 34:32
  Speaker 2: Really?
• 34:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 34:34
  Speaker 2: Some friends of mine bought a house knowing that somebody
• 34:36
  Speaker 2: had committed suicide there, and it was like they got
• 34:40
  Speaker 2: a really good deal on it.
• 34:42
  Speaker 7: I would think at this point, most people, I mean,
• 34:45
  Speaker 7: you know, if you go back far enough, most people
• 34:47
  Speaker 7: dead in somebody's house.
• 34:49
  Speaker 2: This house, the lady lived here from the time she
• 34:52
  Speaker 2: was like five till she was 95. It was like
• 34:55
  Speaker 2: in one family for about 100 years. And it's so
• 35:01
  Speaker 2: weird about that because... I live in a house that's
• 35:06
  Speaker 2: like 100 years old. One person lived... I've worked at
• 35:10
  Speaker 2: an inn that was like more than 100 years old.
• 35:14
  Speaker 2: And I've worked in like a firehouse. Super old. I've
• 35:22
  Speaker 2: never had like any kind of campfire ghost experience that
• 35:26
  Speaker 2: I could tell. And I think it's because I'm open
• 35:29
  Speaker 2: to it. And that takes the fun out of it
• 35:32
  Speaker 2: for ghosts.
• 35:33
  Speaker 7: Never mind.
• 35:34
  Speaker 2: Because every ghost story I hear begins with, I don't
• 35:38
  Speaker 2: believe in ghosts. I'm like, I'm totally cool with it.
• 35:42
  Speaker 7: I'd like to know. I don't run into it. Because
• 35:46
  Speaker 7: not only am I, like, okay with the idea, but
• 35:48
  Speaker 7: I kind of want to use them. Actually, I've got
• 35:53
  Speaker 7: some stuff for you guys to do.
• 35:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 35:55
  Speaker 7: I'm like, okay, here's what we're going to do.
• 35:57
  Speaker 2: We're going to work together.
• 35:58
  Speaker 1: They're like, oh, no, that guy's just going to exploit us.
• 36:00
  Speaker 7: I'll try to help you guys out, too. Is there
• 36:03
  Speaker 7: stuff you need?
• 36:04
  Speaker 2: A ghost sweatshop.
• 36:05
  Speaker 7: Can I get you some marshmallow fluff or whatever you
• 36:09
  Speaker 7: need on your side?
• 36:10
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 36:10
  Speaker 7: I'll try to hook you up.
• 36:12
  Speaker 1: Speaking of ghosts, have you seen that new show, Deadbeat,
• 36:16
  Speaker 1: on Hulu?
• 36:17
  Speaker 2: No.
• 36:17
  Speaker 1: It's so good. It has the guy from Dale and Tucker.
• 36:21
  Speaker 7: Tucker and Dale. Yeah.
• 36:23
  Speaker 2: Those guys were good.
• 36:25
  Speaker 1: That guy's awesome.
• 36:26
  Speaker 7: Tyler's really cool, actually.
• 36:27
  Speaker 1: It's like Ghost Whisperer or Medium, but he's like this lazy...
• 36:31
  Speaker 1: He's that guy. He's the same guy that he always is.
• 36:34
  Speaker 1: He's this dumb, lazy stoner guy. And he hawks the
• 36:39
  Speaker 1: dead people and helps solve their problems. It's really funny.
• 36:42
  Speaker 7: I think somebody else told me that just this past week. So, yeah,
• 36:46
  Speaker 7: it must be going around.
• 36:47
  Speaker 1: It's probably me. I probably already told you about it.
• 36:49
  Speaker 7: This was yesterday.
• 36:51
  Speaker 1: Oh.
• 36:51
  Speaker 2: I'm going to have to build up the fire a
• 36:54
  Speaker 2: little bit.
• 36:54
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 36:55
  Speaker 2: Are you getting cold? Yeah.
• 36:57
  Speaker 7: Are you going to go throw leaves on the fire?
• 36:59
  Speaker 2: Ooh, leaves are fun.
• 37:01
  Speaker 7: Leaves are pretty exciting.
• 37:03
  Speaker 1: What happens when you put leaves on the fire?
• 37:04
  Speaker 2: Leaves are like the fireworks of the campfire.
• 37:09
  Speaker 7: Let's take a break. They're like the fireworks of fire.
• 37:12
  Speaker 7: Let's do it. Let's take a break while Fred stokes
• 37:15
  Speaker 7: the fire here. You know that it would be untrue
• 37:29
  Speaker 7: You know that I would be a liar.
• 37:33
  Speaker 2: If I was to say to you.
• 37:35
  Speaker 7: Girl, we couldn't get much higher Come on baby, light
• 37:41
  Speaker 7: my fire Come on baby, light my fire Try.
• 37:48
  Speaker 2: To set the night on fire.

  Speaker 7: Hey. Ready to go?
• 38:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but the fire's not out. Close enough.
• 38:07
  Speaker 7: Close enough? If it's too hot to touch, it's too
• 38:10
  Speaker 7: hot to leave.
• 38:11
  Speaker 2: I mean, the next thing you know, you've torched our
• 38:13
  Speaker 2: whole neighborhood.
• 38:14
  Speaker 7: Which is why we're not going anywhere? Exactly. Nine out

  Speaker 6: Fahrenheit 451. Ray Bradbury, America's leading science fiction novelist, wrote it.
• 39:02
  Speaker 6: Julie Christie, Academy Award winning actress of Darling and Dr. Zhivago,
• 39:06
  Speaker 6: and Oscar Werner, winner of the New York Critics Best
• 39:08
  Speaker 6: Actor Award, star in it. Directed by internationally famous French director,
• 39:13
  Speaker 6: Francois Truffaut. And now, a rare privilege, candid scenes taken
• 39:18
  Speaker 6: during the shooting of this exciting and suspenseful story of
• 39:21
  Speaker 6: the world of tomorrow.
• 39:27
  Speaker 7: Fahrenheit 451.
• 39:30
  Speaker 6: Is there an idle moment between scenes? Press photographers are
• 39:34
  Speaker 6: quick to take advantage. For the public, of course, the
• 39:37
  Speaker 6: big news in Fahrenheit 451 is Julie Christie, an actress
• 39:41
  Speaker 6: with that most precious commodity. the ability to create, project,
• 39:45
  Speaker 6: and kindle a mood in the audience. Her range, so
• 39:48
  Speaker 6: strikingly demonstrated in Darling and now in Fahrenheit 451, is
• 39:53
  Speaker 6: almost unbelievable. Pensive, cheerful, somber, artful, gay, relaxed, taught, bewildered, determined, loving. Nuances, subtleties,
• 40:06
  Speaker 6: delicate shadings that are a director's dream and for viewers,
• 40:10
  Speaker 6: a delight. In this film, Julie plays a dual role,
• 40:14
  Speaker 6: portraying both the wife and mistress of Oscar Werner. As
• 40:18
  Speaker 6: the mistress, Julie Christie makes her greatest impact. Warm, generous, daring,
• 40:24
  Speaker 6: she fires the imagination of her lover and leads him
• 40:27
  Speaker 6: into the sort of adventure that makes Fahrenheit 451 unusual
• 40:31
  Speaker 6: and exciting motion picture entertainment.

  Speaker 6: All of life's riddles are answered in the movies. And now,
• 44:28
  Speaker 6: on with the show.
• 45:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm wandering away from the mic. And, you know,
• 45:05
  Speaker 2: I mentioned that I saw, like, the first movie I
• 45:08
  Speaker 2: ever saw in a theater. I don't know. I had
• 45:12
  Speaker 2: this idea of, like, talking about the big debates in films.
• 45:21
  Speaker 2: And I don't even know what that means.
• 45:22
  Speaker 7: Yeah, I was trying to decide, like, within the film
• 45:26
  Speaker 7: there is a debate, or you watch a film and
• 45:29
  Speaker 7: it leads you to have a debate.
• 45:30
  Speaker 2: Well, see, everybody thinks I have some plan.
• 45:33
  Speaker 7: No, I know better than that.
• 45:34
  Speaker 2: But I'm just trying to see what... Yeah, you know
• 45:37
  Speaker 2: I'm just a rambling, gambling man.
• 45:39
  Speaker 7: I know better at this point, but I'm kind of.
• 45:41
  Speaker 2: You're going to wander off anyway. But, okay, like, if
• 45:48
  Speaker 2: it's debates... Within films, okay, then there are some things
• 45:53
  Speaker 2: I could mention there. There is a lost film about
• 45:56
  Speaker 2: a kid in debate club. And it's lost because I
• 46:01
  Speaker 2: don't remember who the fuck it was. Okay, here's a
• 46:04
  Speaker 2: great debate. Was it Bob Goldwaite? Bobcat Goldwaite? Or was
• 46:10
  Speaker 2: it Sam Kinison? That's a debate you have in your head.
• 46:13
  Speaker 7: To me, that's not a debate because I... know them
• 46:16
  Speaker 7: both very well and i okay i distinguish which.
• 46:19
  Speaker 2: One did the saturday night live short about how he
• 46:23
  Speaker 2: got into comedy but i never saw it and it's
• 46:27
  Speaker 2: not online i went looking for it online i didn't
• 46:29
  Speaker 2: see it either and he had his he was the
• 46:31
  Speaker 2: king of debate in high school and he had his
• 46:34
  Speaker 2: thing like um can you imagine a world without zinc
• 46:38
  Speaker 2: pretty scary huh But then some new kid came to
• 46:42
  Speaker 2: the school and she got up and told this emotional
• 46:45
  Speaker 2: story about inner city life. And he's like, I can't
• 46:48
  Speaker 2: get up and talk about zinc. And that's how he
• 46:52
  Speaker 2: got into comedy. He got up and started talking about
• 46:54
  Speaker 2: his family and blah, blah, blah. And I think it
• 46:57
  Speaker 2: was Bobcat.
• 46:58
  Speaker 7: I mean, it sounds like Bobcat. Again, Bobcat's pretty smart dude,
• 47:02
  Speaker 7: and it feels like something he would write, but I
• 47:05
  Speaker 7: also don't see it being okay for them to let
• 47:07
  Speaker 7: him do that at the time, depending on how far
• 47:10
  Speaker 7: back we're going.
• 47:12
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 47:12
  Speaker 7: Back in the day, he couldn't do anything but yell
• 47:14
  Speaker 7: really loud, and he painted himself in that corner, but
• 47:18
  Speaker 7: it took him a long time, and people still kind
• 47:20
  Speaker 7: of don't give him benefit of the doubt, but he's
• 47:23
  Speaker 7: a smart guy, and he's actually really talented, and it's
• 47:26
  Speaker 7: funny that he still kind of has that following him
• 47:29
  Speaker 7: around to this day.
• 47:31
  Speaker 2: Then my favorite debate movie is Rocket Science. It's about
• 47:36
  Speaker 2: a kid who stutters and he wants to join the
• 47:39
  Speaker 2: debate club and win. And, spoiler alert, he doesn't. Because
• 47:46
  Speaker 2: he can't.
• 47:47
  Speaker 7: Because he has a horrible stutter.
• 47:51
  Speaker 2: But it's such a great movie. It's such a great movie.
• 47:55
  Speaker 2: If you watch, like, The King's Speech, please watch Rocket
• 48:01
  Speaker 2: Science now with an opposing point of view. And Anna
• 48:06
  Speaker 2: Kendrick is in it, and she's just awesome. Or is
• 48:11
  Speaker 2: it Kendrick's? Kendrick? Kendrick's? Is it? Oh, okay. Is it
• 48:16
  Speaker 2: Keith Richard? Keith Richards? Who the fuck is he? He actually,
• 48:23
  Speaker 2: I do know, I do know he changed it for
• 48:25
  Speaker 2: a while and then changed it back.
• 48:27
  Speaker 7: Just to mess with people.
• 48:28
  Speaker 2: Because he thought it sounded cooler, or the record label thought.
• 48:32
  Speaker 2: And I've been messed up ever since. I can never
• 48:35
  Speaker 2: remember which one was which. But, you know, there are
• 48:40
  Speaker 2: also just big debates about movies, like what was in
• 48:43
  Speaker 2: the briefcase in Pulp Fiction? Who shot first?
• 48:49
  Speaker 7: That's not even a debate.
• 48:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah, right.
• 48:51
  Speaker 7: In my mind.
• 48:53
  Speaker 2: Right. Well, none of them are debates, and they all
• 48:55
  Speaker 2: go back to the original debate, you know, Marianne or Ginger,
• 48:59
  Speaker 2: which is.
• 48:59
  Speaker 7: Not a debate in my mind. Again, is that a debate?
• 49:01
  Speaker 2: No.
• 49:02
  Speaker 7: What is wrong with people?
• 49:04
  Speaker 2: I don't know what is wrong with people. But what
• 49:08
  Speaker 2: are some of the others? There are other, like, ongoing, like,
• 49:11
  Speaker 2: people always bring up.
• 49:13
  Speaker 7: Well, along those lines, I was actually, I mentioned this
• 49:15
  Speaker 7: last week, uh recently at their week at work they
• 49:20
  Speaker 7: were watching wkrp and i was like and i got
• 49:23
  Speaker 7: i came in towards the end of it i was
• 49:25
  Speaker 7: like you guys already talked about right i mean the
• 49:27
  Speaker 7: fact that nobody cares about jennifer right i mean it's
• 49:30
  Speaker 7: not just me like i as a kid i remember
• 49:32
  Speaker 7: watching it going yeah whatever like Bailey?
• 49:36
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 49:36
  Speaker 7: I mean, it's all about Bailey, right? Which one's Jennifer?
• 49:39
  Speaker 7: They were like, yeah, we kind of talked about that.
• 49:41
  Speaker 7: Which one's Jennifer?
• 49:43
  Speaker 1: Not Lonnie, what's her face?
• 49:44
  Speaker 7: Lonnie Anderson. That was Jennifer. And, like, at the time,
• 49:47
  Speaker 7: she got all the attention. And I remember even as
• 49:49
  Speaker 7: a kid going, look at Bailey.
• 49:52
  Speaker 2: She's nerdy cool, man. That's the thing I liked about
• 49:55
  Speaker 2: the show because it was just like life, which for
• 49:58
  Speaker 2: me was like high school. Because that's the way it
• 50:01
  Speaker 2: was in high school. It was like there would be
• 50:03
  Speaker 2: these couple of girls that, everybody thought were amazing, and
• 50:09
  Speaker 2: you would always, like, look around the room and go,
• 50:11
  Speaker 2: but wait a minute.
• 50:14
  Speaker 7: Yeah, she's a girl, but look at this girl over here.
• 50:17
  Speaker 2: Oh, and it happened to me when I had kids, too, because, like,
• 50:20
  Speaker 2: when my kids were in middle school, there was this
• 50:23
  Speaker 2: It Girl.
• 50:24
  Speaker 7: Who, and then I met her.
• 50:27
  Speaker 2: And it was like, what was the Woody Allen movie?
• 50:29
  Speaker 2: It's like, and then I meet Jeremy and he's this
• 50:31
  Speaker 2: little homunculus. And she said, Jeremy can be devastating. And
• 50:38
  Speaker 2: who was it? It was like the guy, Wallace Shawn
• 50:42
  Speaker 2: is who it was. It was Wallace Shawn played Jeremy
• 50:46
  Speaker 2: in whatever that movie was. And you meet him, and
• 50:49
  Speaker 2: he's wall-ish.
• 50:55
  Speaker 7: Remunerating.
• 50:56
  Speaker 2: Devastating. Wow. But yeah, I mean, how can you not
• 51:02
  Speaker 2: have the same reaction? I don't know.
• 51:05
  Speaker 7: But that's the thing. She always got all the attention,
• 51:07
  Speaker 7: and everybody always made a big deal about how hot
• 51:10
  Speaker 7: she was. And I was just like, not really. I mean,
• 51:14
  Speaker 7: I see it from a very boring, mainstream point of view,
• 51:16
  Speaker 7: but I was like, Even as a child, I was
• 51:19
  Speaker 7: just like, no, but look over here. You're missing the
• 51:23
  Speaker 7: real attraction here. Quit being distracted by that bullshit. But
• 51:26
  Speaker 7: there are people who.
• 51:26
  Speaker 2: Are willing to take on that role.
• 51:29
  Speaker 7: I suppose.
• 51:30
  Speaker 2: You know. Lame. Which probably isn't fun.
• 51:35
  Speaker 7: But, I don't know. Are there anything that aren't just
• 51:38
  Speaker 7: hot chick associated? Hot chick debates. Are there any non...
• 51:43
  Speaker 7: Because that's the thing, I couldn't think of any movies
• 51:45
  Speaker 7: around debates, but obviously I just haven't watched any, so. Hmm.
• 51:50
  Speaker 2: Well, you know, like Lucy brought up recently, like the
• 51:55
  Speaker 2: Noah thing, that's like a cultural debate, and she seemed
• 52:00
  Speaker 2: to think, I haven't seen the movie yet, that it
• 52:02
  Speaker 2: was suggesting a synthesis, a resolution of the debate, but
• 52:08
  Speaker 2: I don't know. But, you know, there are movies that...
• 52:11
  Speaker 2: Nobody likes that.
• 52:12
  Speaker 7: If they can't, like, argue about it.
• 52:14
  Speaker 2: I know. Because that's what we do. We turn everything
• 52:18
  Speaker 2: into a big stupid, you know.
• 52:20
  Speaker 7: Binary debate. They don't want an answer. They want to
• 52:23
  Speaker 7: be able to argue. Yeah.
• 52:26
  Speaker 2: Okay, Marlena is going to do karaoke now.
• 52:30
  Speaker 7: I think she's just moving into the fire.
• 52:32
  Speaker 2: Do I need to, uh, out of the frying pan?
• 52:34
  Speaker 1: I just want to get as close to the fire
• 52:37
  Speaker 1: as possible.
• 52:38
  Speaker 7: Should I build it up? Don't set yourself on fire.
• 52:40
  Speaker 1: Well, no, because then I'll catch on fire.
• 52:42
  Speaker 7: Because the dog did earlier. Oh, my God.
• 52:44
  Speaker 1: Did she really?
• 52:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we had a flaming dog for a while. It
• 52:48
  Speaker 2: was all right, though.
• 52:49
  Speaker 7: Kind of like a flaming mo.
• 52:51
  Speaker 2: Similar.
• 52:51
  Speaker 7: Did it involve cough syrup?
• 52:54
  Speaker 2: A flaming mo. See, now that's a debate. Because so
• 53:00
  Speaker 2: many geeks I know have been so over The Simpsons
• 53:05
  Speaker 2: for so long, but I kind of feel like Yeah,
• 53:08
  Speaker 2: it's not really as good as it used to be, but,
• 53:11
  Speaker 2: I mean, how could it be? The thing is, though,
• 53:14
  Speaker 2: it was really original. And, like, there are a lot
• 53:19
  Speaker 2: of other shows that people are still excited about that
• 53:22
  Speaker 2: were never that good in the first place. That's true.
• 53:24
  Speaker 1: Family Guy.
• 53:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 53:26
  Speaker 7: Okay, good point. But, no, I mean, that's the thing.
• 53:31
  Speaker 7: I am kind of. over the simpsons like i don't
• 53:34
  Speaker 7: even know how over the simpsons i am because i
• 53:36
  Speaker 7: haven't watched it in so long i don't even know
• 53:39
  Speaker 7: if it's good or bad anymore like yeah for a
• 53:41
  Speaker 7: while i was at least just kind of tuning in
• 53:44
  Speaker 7: for the treehouse of horrors because i always love those
• 53:46
  Speaker 7: and like those last two or three of those i
• 53:48
  Speaker 7: was even kind of let down by so i was
• 53:50
  Speaker 7: just like maybe i'll just let the simpsons go on
• 53:52
  Speaker 7: about their business and i'll go on about mine and
• 53:55
  Speaker 7: So I haven't watched it in a long time.
• 53:58
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but you know what I still do is I
• 54:00
  Speaker 2: still refer to the old ones.
• 54:02
  Speaker 7: See, I do too. I will still make references to
• 54:06
  Speaker 7: it all the time. And that's how you know. I mean,
• 54:09
  Speaker 7: it was a really amazingly written show.
• 54:12
  Speaker 2: And the new ones, you know, I'll watch one every
• 54:15
  Speaker 2: now and then. And they're not terrible compared to other
• 54:19
  Speaker 2: things you've watched. They're okay. They're not as, they're not
• 54:24
  Speaker 2: compelling or anything, but they're, I don't know. I'm still
• 54:29
  Speaker 2: in the camp. I'm still rooting for them.
• 54:32
  Speaker 1: I'm really happy that Bob's Burgers is a show. Like,
• 54:35
  Speaker 1: I love that show.
• 54:36
  Speaker 2: I was going to say. I wish I could have
• 54:37
  Speaker 2: got Jim to do the Bob's Burgers dance for you.
• 54:42
  Speaker 2: He can do it. He has this joint in his
• 54:45
  Speaker 2: neck that he can whip his head like that. It's amazing.
• 54:49
  Speaker 7: Well, I was going to say, I feel like there
• 54:50
  Speaker 7: is new stuff that's moved in into that territory now,
• 54:54
  Speaker 7: and Bob's Burgers is one of those, but there's several
• 54:56
  Speaker 7: other just really weird little cartoons and animated shows, and
• 55:01
  Speaker 7: they've all kind of fallen into that niche. I don't know.
• 55:05
  Speaker 7: I think they're still out there now. It's just probably
• 55:08
  Speaker 7: not The Simpsons anymore. But again, I haven't watched it
• 55:10
  Speaker 7: in a while. I don't know.
• 55:12
  Speaker 2: They have a good thing every once in a while.
• 55:14
  Speaker 2: They don't seem to have that... They used to have
• 55:16
  Speaker 2: this thing where they would start out the show, and
• 55:18
  Speaker 2: you'd think you'd know what the show was and then
• 55:21
  Speaker 2: suddenly it would unfold and it was a totally different
• 55:24
  Speaker 2: show now and they would do that over and over
• 55:27
  Speaker 2: again i don't think they have the structure anymore.
• 55:32
  Speaker 7: Again they were on that run in the middle there
• 55:34
  Speaker 7: that middle stretch of years where it was just like
• 55:37
  Speaker 7: some of the best writers and it's true you go
• 55:39
  Speaker 7: back and look at who the writers were and it's
• 55:41
  Speaker 7: like it's some of the funniest people ever so it's
• 55:43
  Speaker 7: like it makes sense that they were not only that funny,
• 55:46
  Speaker 7: but they were also a well-written screenplay, you know.
• 55:49
  Speaker 2: To animate to. Yeah, those guys are smart.
• 55:54
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 55:55
  Speaker 7: It was a good cast of writers for years there. So,
• 56:00
  Speaker 7: of my stuff watching, I really haven't seen much except
• 56:05
  Speaker 7: I've decided to go back and... Have you guys heard
• 56:08
  Speaker 7: about these Harry Potter movies? Never heard of them.
• 56:11
  Speaker 2: When is the next one coming out?
• 56:13
  Speaker 7: I think they're gonna break up the next book into
• 56:15
  Speaker 7: like seven movies.
• 56:16
  Speaker 1: Oh, wait, you're not done with all the movies?
• 56:20
  Speaker 2: What?
• 56:21
  Speaker 7: Well, if you go by every six months or so.
• 56:26
  Speaker 2: Got me again.
• 56:29
  Speaker 7: Every six months or so, J.K. Rowling makes some announcement
• 56:32
  Speaker 7: about something stupid that she needs to not talk about.
• 56:35
  Speaker 7: I really wish she would stop doing that.
• 56:38
  Speaker 1: What does she do?
• 56:39
  Speaker 2: Well, one time I heard she said that she regrets
• 56:44
  Speaker 2: Hermione getting together with Ron.
• 56:46
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 56:47
  Speaker 2: And I said, not as much as Hermione does. Because
• 56:53
  Speaker 2: Ron has brain damage.
• 56:55
  Speaker 7: I'm like, you wrote the book. Shut up. Everybody else
• 57:00
  Speaker 7: gets to bitch about that. You're the only one that
• 57:02
  Speaker 7: does it because you could have changed it, but you didn't.
• 57:05
  Speaker 7: So shut up about it.
• 57:06
  Speaker 2: Can't you just be happy?
• 57:08
  Speaker 7: Seriously, Rowling. No, just JK. Totally JK. Now, LOL, Wowling.
• 57:17
  Speaker 2: You've got to watch which one you're talking to.
• 57:21
  Speaker 7: LOL, Wowling.
• 57:22
  Speaker 2: Apparently somebody here hasn't heard that before.
• 57:25
  Speaker 7: I don't know.
• 57:27
  Speaker 1: I'm just hanging out by this fire. I think I
• 57:29
  Speaker 1: have a contact high from this fire.
• 57:32
  Speaker 7: It just has leaves on it, by the way.
• 57:34
  Speaker 2: I know.
• 57:35
  Speaker 7: You're just huffing leaves. Pesticide, Brian. Pesticide.
• 57:42
  Speaker 2: So, you know, like, another great debate that's in a
• 57:45
  Speaker 2: movie is the clan of the cave bear.
• 57:49
  Speaker 7: All right.
• 57:51
  Speaker 2: Which was about, like, Neanderthals and Cro-Magnons living together, and
• 57:56
  Speaker 2: I felt like finally someone had the courage. I was like,
• 58:02
  Speaker 2: who gives a fuck? I don't know.
• 58:04
  Speaker 7: Who gives a fuck about that issue? Are they bears
• 58:07
  Speaker 7: or monkeys? Which is this about?
• 58:10
  Speaker 2: It's like Daryl Hannah was a cavewoman. Did you see that?
• 58:14
  Speaker 7: A long, long time ago.
• 58:16
  Speaker 1: I have a funny story about monkeys.
• 58:18
  Speaker 7: Oh, God.
• 58:20
  Speaker 1: It's not really about monkeys. So the other day, Lydia,
• 58:22
  Speaker 1: my niece, who's four, was eating a banana. And she
• 58:26
  Speaker 1: said to her mom, she goes, Mom, I don't like bananas.
• 58:30
  Speaker 1: And she's like, then why are you eating it? She goes,
• 58:32
  Speaker 1: because I don't like monkeys.
• 58:38
  Speaker 2: That's a thinker.
• 58:39
  Speaker 7: This is some kid logic right here.
• 58:40
  Speaker 1: Isn't that like the best logic you've ever heard from
• 58:42
  Speaker 1: a four-year-old mind in your area? I was so proud.
• 58:47
  Speaker 1: I was so proud. So she's like, so you want
• 58:49
  Speaker 1: to eat all the bananas so the monkeys don't have
• 58:51
  Speaker 1: anything to eat and they die?
• 58:52
  Speaker 2: She goes, pretty much.
• 58:57
  Speaker 7: Ah, the viciousness of children. Oh, that's great.
• 59:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I thought that was awesome.
• 59:03
  Speaker 2: What was that monkey trial movie? Be careful.
• 59:10
  Speaker 7: Yes, Monkey Trouble.
• 59:13
  Speaker 2: That was it.
• 59:13
  Speaker 1: I saw that on Netflix. I really wanted to read it.
• 59:16
  Speaker 7: I mean, watch it.
• 59:17
  Speaker 2: I read it. I saw a movie like Today that
• 59:22
  Speaker 2: was like De Niro and who was Rocky? Stallone?
• 59:30
  Speaker 7: Yeah, that's what it was.
• 59:31
  Speaker 2: What the hell was that?
• 59:33
  Speaker 7: It's called Old Guys Fighting. It's about old guys fighting.
• 59:39
  Speaker 2: So, wait, the title is Old Boy.
• 59:43
  Speaker 7: Yes. Yeah. But with a Z. Old Boys.
• 59:45
  Speaker 2: Old Boys.
• 59:46
  Speaker 7: Because they're from the streets.
• 59:47
  Speaker 2: Old Boys in the Hood.
• 59:49
  Speaker 7: Something like that.
• 59:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah. What the hell is that thing?
• 59:55
  Speaker 7: Why would they do that? It's called Paycheck, except they
• 59:56
  Speaker 7: already made a movie called Paycheck, so... This is two paychecks.
• 1:00:01
  Speaker 2: Dear God.
• 1:00:02
  Speaker 7: I don't know. That's, that's the thing. Like, I'm like,
• 1:00:05
  Speaker 7: they're both like still doing work. Like they're not that desperate.
• 1:00:09
  Speaker 7: Why do they have to do that? Why do they
• 1:00:11
  Speaker 7: have to, like the one thing that they were known
• 1:00:13
  Speaker 7: for that still kind of. I don't know, especially, like,
• 1:00:16
  Speaker 7: De Niro. Like, it's not like he beat that character
• 1:00:19
  Speaker 7: to death, you know? It's like, he only really did
• 1:00:21
  Speaker 7: one boxing movie. Like, why now?
• 1:00:23
  Speaker 2: He washed up that character in the movie.
• 1:00:26
  Speaker 7: Like, why drag that through the mud now, all these
• 1:00:29
  Speaker 7: years later? Like, Rocky, I'm not that surprised by.
• 1:00:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah, sure.
• 1:00:32
  Speaker 7: Stallone does all kinds of crazy stuff, I don't understand. But, like, well,
• 1:00:36
  Speaker 7: I guess so does De Niro. But, mostly just all
• 1:00:40
  Speaker 7: these comedies, but... I don't know.
• 1:00:44
  Speaker 2: Comedy is not one of the things the Lord blessed
• 1:00:47
  Speaker 2: him with.
• 1:00:49
  Speaker 1: No. He was okay in Meet the Fockers.
• 1:00:51
  Speaker 2: I mean, he's funny as like a character.
• 1:00:54
  Speaker 7: He's funny on like talk shows. When you realize he
• 1:00:58
  Speaker 7: doesn't get it. And like he doesn't work well with
• 1:01:02
  Speaker 7: other people like.
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 2: In regular conversation. And it's funny when he's a convincing
• 1:01:06
  Speaker 2: character who you're laughing about. But he's not funny doing comedy. No.
• 1:01:11
  Speaker 7: And I don't know that he realizes that. He just
• 1:01:15
  Speaker 7: ended up in things that were sort of funny, and
• 1:01:18
  Speaker 7: then he goes, oh, I guess comedy's the way to go.
• 1:01:21
  Speaker 7: And it's funny when I don't fit in these situations,
• 1:01:24
  Speaker 7: and we make it a comedy, right?
• 1:01:26
  Speaker 2: You know what I think his best attempt, though, was?
• 1:01:31
  Speaker 2: And I'm going to, okay, I've decided this is my
• 1:01:35
  Speaker 2: favorite Best buddy action movie of all time.
• 1:01:39
  Speaker 7: I'm assuming it's the one I'm thinking of that's actually
• 1:01:42
  Speaker 7: a really good movie.
• 1:01:43
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Midnight Run.
• 1:01:44
  Speaker 7: Yeah, okay.
• 1:01:44
  Speaker 2: That's a great movie.
• 1:01:45
  Speaker 7: I was going to say, I don't feel like that's
• 1:01:47
  Speaker 7: an attempt. I think that actually totally landed it.
• 1:01:50
  Speaker 2: That was such a good movie. That's the standard I
• 1:01:53
  Speaker 2: would judge the others by.
• 1:01:55
  Speaker 7: That's just a good movie. And see, that's a great
• 1:01:58
  Speaker 7: performance by him because he's not doing comedy. He's just
• 1:02:02
  Speaker 7: doing a normal De Niro role. It ends up being
• 1:02:06
  Speaker 7: funny because of the weird situation and because he's jammed
• 1:02:09
  Speaker 7: with Charles Grodin. It becomes a funny situation. He's not funny.
• 1:02:15
  Speaker 7: He's not trying to be funny, and that's why it
• 1:02:17
  Speaker 7: becomes funny. It's only when he tries to be funny
• 1:02:21
  Speaker 7: that it ruins everything.
• 1:02:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he doesn't know how to do that.
• 1:02:25
  Speaker 7: For as good as he is, he really doesn't know
• 1:02:27
  Speaker 7: how to do that.
• 1:02:27
  Speaker 2: It's so interesting to see people that are so good
• 1:02:30
  Speaker 2: at something not get something else. Yeah. Just totally not
• 1:02:35
  Speaker 2: getting it. Yeah. I guess you get the abilities you get.
• 1:02:42
  Speaker 2: But I interrupted you.
• 1:02:43
  Speaker 7: Okay, back to my other one. But no, I brought
• 1:02:48
  Speaker 7: this up years ago. And actually, you were there, Marlena.
• 1:02:52
  Speaker 7: I don't know if we were. It was one of
• 1:02:53
  Speaker 7: our weird road trips. I think it's when we drove
• 1:02:55
  Speaker 7: to Lexington, and we were talking about Harry Potter in
• 1:02:58
  Speaker 7: the car. And I was like, at the time, I
• 1:03:00
  Speaker 7: was like, I've gone. And at that point, they were
• 1:03:02
  Speaker 7: still making them, I guess. But it was like still
• 1:03:04
  Speaker 7: years into the series. I mean, that's a long-running series.
• 1:03:08
  Speaker 7: And it's like I had gone forever and not really
• 1:03:10
  Speaker 7: seen most of the Harry Potter movies. Actually, once again,
• 1:03:15
  Speaker 7: you had a VHS copy, Marlene.
• 1:03:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah, of like the second one.
• 1:03:19
  Speaker 7: No, it was the first one. Oh, was it the
• 1:03:20
  Speaker 7: first one? Oh, I know, because it was the freaking
• 1:03:22
  Speaker 7: quibbage match that goes on for 14 hours. And I
• 1:03:25
  Speaker 7: kept trying to watch your version. I was like, all right, well,
• 1:03:28
  Speaker 7: you got this copy.
• 1:03:29
  Speaker 2: I'll watch this.
• 1:03:30
  Speaker 7: How many times did I fall asleep on it?
• 1:03:32
  Speaker 1: I've never watched.
• 1:03:33
  Speaker 7: Like 78 times? Like I could not make it through
• 1:03:36
  Speaker 7: that first movie.
• 1:03:36
  Speaker 1: I've never watched one of those movies.
• 1:03:38
  Speaker 7: And then, well, no, that's the thing. Like, as I
• 1:03:40
  Speaker 7: got into it, like, at that point, I ran into
• 1:03:42
  Speaker 7: that second one on, like, TBS or something, and they
• 1:03:45
  Speaker 7: were running. I was like, oh, this actually looks kind
• 1:03:47
  Speaker 7: of cool here. And, like, once you get to the
• 1:03:49
  Speaker 7: end and the big wrap-up there, I was like, that's
• 1:03:52
  Speaker 7: actually kind of cool. And, like, they worked in a
• 1:03:54
  Speaker 7: decent story. I'm like, all right, I kind of would
• 1:03:57
  Speaker 7: be interested in watching these, and I just hadn't gotten
• 1:03:59
  Speaker 7: around to them. And then, I don't know, there's been
• 1:04:01
  Speaker 7: enough references lately to stuff that I'm like, okay, you know,
• 1:04:05
  Speaker 7: at some point, I'm going to have to go back
• 1:04:07
  Speaker 7: and actually like just knock out the rest of them.
• 1:04:09
  Speaker 7: So I'd seen the first one enough. I kind of
• 1:04:12
  Speaker 7: remembered that one finally after I made it through that thing.
• 1:04:15
  Speaker 7: So I went back and I've gone through the next
• 1:04:18
  Speaker 7: two and I'm probably going to end up watching the
• 1:04:21
  Speaker 7: fourth one. It's like Harry Potter and the monkey's pajamas
• 1:04:25
  Speaker 7: or whatever the hell it is. I don't remember, but yeah.
• 1:04:28
  Speaker 7: So I, I, again, I'm pretty impressed with them. Like,
• 1:04:32
  Speaker 7: I feel like they are well-made, and I think that's
• 1:04:35
  Speaker 7: one of those things I didn't, like, again, I kind
• 1:04:37
  Speaker 7: of wrote it off as dumb kids movies, and in
• 1:04:40
  Speaker 7: the beginning, they're a little more kiddified, but even then, like,
• 1:04:42
  Speaker 7: that second one's not bad. I mean, it's still Chris
• 1:04:46
  Speaker 7: Columbus doing that one, and I'm like, I don't feel
• 1:04:48
  Speaker 7: like he's doing a bad job at it. He's just,
• 1:04:51
  Speaker 7: he's definitely keeping it a little more safe than, you know,
• 1:04:55
  Speaker 7: they start getting much weirder and darker even by the
• 1:04:57
  Speaker 7: third one, but I don't know. Again, this is not
• 1:05:02
  Speaker 7: really breaking news here, but they did a decent job
• 1:05:05
  Speaker 7: on them Harry Potter movies, y'all.
• 1:05:07
  Speaker 2: I watched them. I saw all of them.
• 1:05:10
  Speaker 1: Once I asked Misty if she wanted to borrow my
• 1:05:11
  Speaker 1: Harry Potter books because they were good, and she goes, no,
• 1:05:14
  Speaker 1: they're about kids, and I fucking hate kids.
• 1:05:17
  Speaker 7: Sounds about right.
• 1:05:19
  Speaker 2: They aren't really about kids, though.
• 1:05:22
  Speaker 7: Well, again, by the third one, they're not really even
• 1:05:24
  Speaker 7: kids anymore.
• 1:05:25
  Speaker 2: I'm not sure what they are about, but there's something
• 1:05:28
  Speaker 2: good about them.
• 1:05:29
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 1:05:30
  Speaker 2: I think the thing I like about them is how
• 1:05:32
  Speaker 2: they're about magic, but magic is just what you have
• 1:05:36
  Speaker 2: to do at school.
• 1:05:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah, like magic is kind of this annoying assignment.
• 1:05:40
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 1:05:41
  Speaker 1: It's not like this totally awesome thing.
• 1:05:43
  Speaker 7: That's why there's a little realism there.
• 1:05:45
  Speaker 2: There's something funny about that that's charming. Yeah, and it's
• 1:05:51
  Speaker 2: fun just to watch those kids grow up. Like you
• 1:05:55
  Speaker 2: go back and they're just babies and then you watch
• 1:05:58
  Speaker 2: them grow up.
• 1:06:00
  Speaker 7: That's the thing I was talking about as I watched
• 1:06:02
  Speaker 7: those first couple already. By the time you hit the
• 1:06:04
  Speaker 7: third one, they're already not kids anymore. They're starting to
• 1:06:06
  Speaker 7: hit the weird teenage years. And I was just like,
• 1:06:09
  Speaker 7: we never really had a series like that where you
• 1:06:12
  Speaker 7: literally watch them grow up. I mean, we've had, you know,
• 1:06:16
  Speaker 7: Stars that have remained stars. But again, not playing these
• 1:06:20
  Speaker 7: same characters year after year. And that consistent. I guess
• 1:06:23
  Speaker 7: they were smart enough when they were making the movies
• 1:06:25
  Speaker 7: to go, we've got to knock these things out. These
• 1:06:27
  Speaker 7: kids are not going to be kids for long. So
• 1:06:29
  Speaker 7: they were so consistent about knocking them out. But that's
• 1:06:33
  Speaker 7: just kind of fascinating to watch as it goes along.
• 1:06:36
  Speaker 1: And it's also really weird how, I don't remember what
• 1:06:39
  Speaker 1: his name is, but the little chubby one. That's like Neville.
• 1:06:43
  Speaker 1: Neville Longbottom.
• 1:06:44
  Speaker 2: He's the star.
• 1:06:45
  Speaker 1: He was like such a chubby, awkward kid, and he
• 1:06:47
  Speaker 1: grew up to be a mega babe. That was kind
• 1:06:50
  Speaker 1: of awesome.
• 1:06:51
  Speaker 7: I wouldn't go that far. He definitely turned out, which
• 1:06:54
  Speaker 7: I hadn't seen pictures of him until recently, and all
• 1:06:56
  Speaker 7: of a sudden I was like, all right, he definitely
• 1:06:58
  Speaker 7: turned out a little better than he used to be,
• 1:07:00
  Speaker 7: but I don't know.
• 1:07:01
  Speaker 1: He's pretty hot.
• 1:07:01
  Speaker 7: Internet girls were selling it a little hard for me.
• 1:07:04
  Speaker 7: Just like, eh, he's all right.
• 1:07:05
  Speaker 1: Let's just agree.
• 1:07:06
  Speaker 2: But like the lead guy who turned out exactly like
• 1:07:10
  Speaker 2: what you expected from seeing him the first day.
• 1:07:13
  Speaker 7: Daniel's a studly dude now.
• 1:07:15
  Speaker 2: Come on.
• 1:07:15
  Speaker 1: He hangs out naked with horses.
• 1:07:17
  Speaker 2: Come on. And there's something like perpetually like, I don't know,
• 1:07:24
  Speaker 2: about Hermione that like I remember at the drunk Oscars.
• 1:07:30
  Speaker 2: We had, like, who was the hottest. And then I
• 1:07:33
  Speaker 2: saw the movie after I had voted, and she just
• 1:07:36
  Speaker 2: seemed like a kid, and it seemed so dirty and wrong.
• 1:07:40
  Speaker 7: She's still, it's kind of ridiculous. Like, that's the thing.
• 1:07:43
  Speaker 7: She was a cute kid in those first couple that
• 1:07:45
  Speaker 7: I just watched, but it's like, seeing her now, like,
• 1:07:47
  Speaker 7: she was just on Letterman the other night. I'm like,
• 1:07:49
  Speaker 7: she's just, it's amazing how she's grown up, because she's
• 1:07:52
  Speaker 7: freaking gorgeous now.
• 1:07:53
  Speaker 2: She is gorgeous, but there is something vulnerable about her
• 1:07:57
  Speaker 2: that made me feel wrong about that Whereas I had
• 1:08:00
  Speaker 2: also just watched Fish Tank, and I think that actress
• 1:08:04
  Speaker 2: actually was 15.
• 1:08:06
  Speaker 7: But I was like, she was pretty close.
• 1:08:08
  Speaker 2: That's all good.
• 1:08:08
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 1:08:09
  Speaker 2: I'm okay with that.
• 1:08:10
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 1:08:11
  Speaker 2: I don't know. Something about Hermione or that actress, she
• 1:08:16
  Speaker 2: seems like she could get messed up by emotional entanglements
• 1:08:25
  Speaker 2: more than your average bear.
• 1:08:27
  Speaker 7: But she's kind of a smart chick.
• 1:08:30
  Speaker 2: Oh, yeah.
• 1:08:30
  Speaker 7: I think she's right now graduating from Brown. So... Yeah. She...
• 1:08:35
  Speaker 7: I feel like I have a little faith in her.
• 1:08:37
  Speaker 7: I think she can withstand. She does seem a little awkward, though.
• 1:08:41
  Speaker 7: Speaking of a... There is something... Of weird.
• 1:08:43
  Speaker 2: Well, no.
• 1:08:43
  Speaker 7: Just, like, again, watching her... Like, even on Letterman. And, like,
• 1:08:46
  Speaker 7: at this point, how many years has she just been doing, like,
• 1:08:49
  Speaker 7: interviews and talk shows and stuff? And, like, she still
• 1:08:51
  Speaker 7: felt like a weird social... Not just socially awkward, because
• 1:08:55
  Speaker 7: maybe she's different in the real world. But, like, she
• 1:08:58
  Speaker 7: still seemed awkward about how... to answer questions about movies
• 1:09:02
  Speaker 7: and like.
• 1:09:03
  Speaker 2: Like why are you asking me questions.
• 1:09:06
  Speaker 7: Do the clip setup you know like basic stuff like
• 1:09:09
  Speaker 7: that she just seemed kind of awkward like she still
• 1:09:12
  Speaker 7: did it because you know it's my job that's what
• 1:09:14
  Speaker 7: i do but it's funny how some people just especially
• 1:09:16
  Speaker 7: when you've been doing it since you were a child,
• 1:09:18
  Speaker 7: you just, like, roll right into it. You just go
• 1:09:21
  Speaker 7: to your normal mode. And, like, she still seems like
• 1:09:24
  Speaker 7: it's something that's been thrust upon her. Like, I want
• 1:09:27
  Speaker 7: to do the acting part, but all this nonsense.
• 1:09:29
  Speaker 2: I guess it has been thrust upon her.
• 1:09:32
  Speaker 7: I guess so.
• 1:09:32
  Speaker 2: And pretty much anybody. I mean, some people take to
• 1:09:35
  Speaker 2: it naturally and aren't really that good at the other job.
• 1:09:38
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 1:09:40
  Speaker 2: I like those movies. I could probably watch them again.
• 1:09:43
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 1:09:43
  Speaker 7: So I really haven't heard a ton. I sort of
• 1:09:46
  Speaker 7: avoided as they got into those last few when everybody
• 1:09:49
  Speaker 7: was talking about it. So, yeah, I'm still kind of,
• 1:09:53
  Speaker 7: I've kept myself in the dark as much as you can.
• 1:09:55
  Speaker 7: And I'm kind of looking forward to seeing how the
• 1:09:58
  Speaker 7: last couple round out as they become all grownups and shit.
• 1:10:02
  Speaker 1: Did you ever notice that your fire pit is shaped
• 1:10:03
  Speaker 1: like a skull? Yeah. Is that on purpose?
• 1:10:06
  Speaker 7: Oh, okay. Who are you talking to?
• 1:10:10
  Speaker 1: Didn't she say something that was going to be some
• 1:10:12
  Speaker 1: sort of spinoff trilogy?
• 1:10:15
  Speaker 7: I thought, didn't she write Something, I don't know. I've
• 1:10:17
  Speaker 7: tried to avoid her.
• 1:10:18
  Speaker 1: She wrote a non-child's book called The Casual Vacancy or
• 1:10:22
  Speaker 1: something like that.
• 1:10:23
  Speaker 7: Yeah, I think that's the real reason as to why she,
• 1:10:25
  Speaker 7: every six months now, decides to make some big revelation
• 1:10:28
  Speaker 7: about Harry Potter.
• 1:10:29
  Speaker 1: But I think she also decided to write another Harry
• 1:10:32
  Speaker 1: Potter book or something.
• 1:10:33
  Speaker 2: Something like a spinoff.
• 1:10:36
  Speaker 7: Well, yeah, here's why. Her other books, nobody cares about.
• 1:10:39
  Speaker 7: That's why she keeps having a press conference about it.
• 1:10:43
  Speaker 7: Here's what I did wrong with Hermione. It's like, yeah,
• 1:10:45
  Speaker 7: because nobody bought your last book. And by the way,
• 1:10:48
  Speaker 7: we still don't feel too bad because you're sitting on
• 1:10:50
  Speaker 7: a billion dollar empire. Don't worry about it. You'll be fine.
• 1:10:54
  Speaker 2: That's okay for her. That's one of the debates that's
• 1:10:57
  Speaker 2: going on now is the Gwyneth Paltrow hating. Which is
• 1:11:02
  Speaker 2: really amusing to me because I never got on board
• 1:11:06
  Speaker 2: in the first place like when she was in Shakespeare
• 1:11:09
  Speaker 2: in Love, and suddenly everybody was acting like they knew
• 1:11:12
  Speaker 2: who the fuck she was and calling her Gwyneth. Oh,
• 1:11:15
  Speaker 2: I love Gwyneth.
• 1:11:16
  Speaker 7: I'm like, who the fuck is Gwyneth?
• 1:11:19
  Speaker 1: Why does everybody hate her suddenly?
• 1:11:21
  Speaker 2: When I was in seventh grade, Elton John and Kiki D,
• 1:11:25
  Speaker 2: somebody named Kiki D, did a song together, and everybody goes, oh,
• 1:11:29
  Speaker 2: it's Elton John and Kiki D.
• 1:11:30
  Speaker 7: Oh, I love Kiki. It's like, who the fuck is Kiki?
• 1:11:33
  Speaker 2: I never heard of her. Everybody all of a sudden
• 1:11:36
  Speaker 2: is like, you know, Oh, here's Gwyneth. I love Gwyneth.
• 1:11:40
  Speaker 2: And I, you know, I didn't like that movie that much.
• 1:11:45
  Speaker 2: I didn't hold it against her, but I just didn't
• 1:11:49
  Speaker 2: like the movie that much. But now everybody's like, you know,
• 1:11:52
  Speaker 2: she's the most pretentious thing on the planet.
• 1:11:56
  Speaker 7: That's the thing. I normally would try to give them
• 1:11:58
  Speaker 7: a little benefit of the doubt and be like, well,
• 1:12:00
  Speaker 7: maybe everybody's just talking that up. And then you see
• 1:12:03
  Speaker 7: clips and you're like, damn. He really is just asking
• 1:12:06
  Speaker 7: for it.
• 1:12:06
  Speaker 1: What did she do?
• 1:12:07
  Speaker 2: She is, but you know, I'm kind of like not
• 1:12:11
  Speaker 2: really bothered by it because, I don't know, being like
• 1:12:15
  Speaker 2: famous and rich probably doesn't make you all that much happier.
• 1:12:20
  Speaker 7: You know, I'm not signing up for it. You still
• 1:12:23
  Speaker 7: have a set amount of problems that are probably somewhat
• 1:12:27
  Speaker 7: similar to what everybody goes through. And you have a
• 1:12:31
  Speaker 7: few that other people don't go through. Like, I mean,
• 1:12:33
  Speaker 7: there is a downside to it. There is a lot
• 1:12:36
  Speaker 7: of bad stuff that gets heaped upon you as well.
• 1:12:40
  Speaker 7: She just went about it the wrong way.
• 1:12:42
  Speaker 2: Well, she did.
• 1:12:43
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 1:12:44
  Speaker 7: She did.
• 1:12:44
  Speaker 2: I don't know what happened.
• 1:12:45
  Speaker 1: I don't have any idea what you guys are talking about.
• 1:12:48
  Speaker 2: Oh, she just says crazy stuff that pisses people off.
• 1:12:53
  Speaker 7: We can go off on a sidebar here. Because we
• 1:12:55
  Speaker 7: already talked about it. She basically went off and said.
• 1:13:00
  Speaker 2: I think motherhood is harder for her.
• 1:13:02
  Speaker 7: It's harder being a celebrity and a mother because other
• 1:13:07
  Speaker 7: people just have their daily job.
• 1:13:09
  Speaker 2: To go to. It'd be a lot easier working in
• 1:13:11
  Speaker 2: an office.
• 1:13:12
  Speaker 7: Yeah, I have to go off and shoot a movie
• 1:13:15
  Speaker 7: once a year. So that's so much... It was just
• 1:13:18
  Speaker 7: like every working mother in America was like, fuck you, Gwen. Like, collectively.
• 1:13:25
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 1:13:26
  Speaker 2: And what was some of the other stuff she said?
• 1:13:28
  Speaker 7: Well, her uncoupling kind of pissed everybody off. But that's
• 1:13:30
  Speaker 7: just because she's being a pretentious douche.
• 1:13:32
  Speaker 1: I don't even know what uncoupling is.
• 1:13:34
  Speaker 7: It's her and her husband.
• 1:13:34
  Speaker 2: Uncoupling is she's getting divorced and now she's discovered.
• 1:13:38
  Speaker 7: What's the other word? What's the first lead-in word of her?
• 1:13:41
  Speaker 2: Conscious uncoupling.
• 1:13:43
  Speaker 7: Conscious uncoupling.
• 1:13:44
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:13:44
  Speaker 7: Bullshit.
• 1:13:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:13:47
  Speaker 6: Okay.
• 1:13:47
  Speaker 7: You guys can hang out and be cool. That's fine.
• 1:13:50
  Speaker 7: But don't make up a stupid term for it.
• 1:13:52
  Speaker 2: Well, people took it like her divorce is better than
• 1:13:55
  Speaker 2: your divorce.
• 1:13:56
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 1:13:56
  Speaker 2: Your divorce because you're a fuck up, but she's consciously uncoupling.
• 1:14:01
  Speaker 2: But I took it. That's not really what she said.
• 1:14:04
  Speaker 2: She said, now that she's getting divorced, it's time that
• 1:14:09
  Speaker 2: we re-understand all divorces. She wasn't putting yours down. She
• 1:14:14
  Speaker 2: was just saying it was high time for us to
• 1:14:18
  Speaker 2: really look at what everybody else has been doing up
• 1:14:21
  Speaker 2: until she did it.
• 1:14:22
  Speaker 7: Thank God I came along and straightened this situation out.
• 1:14:25
  Speaker 7: I don't know.
• 1:14:27
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's tone deaf and it's amusing, but I don't
• 1:14:31
  Speaker 2: really hold a grudge. She was in the anniversary party,
• 1:14:36
  Speaker 2: and the other day it occurred to me like, Four
• 1:14:39
  Speaker 2: or five or maybe six of what I think are
• 1:14:42
  Speaker 2: the greatest moments in film were in that movie.
• 1:14:47
  Speaker 7: That's the thing. You can badmouth her as a person,
• 1:14:50
  Speaker 7: but there have been some pretty good performances along the way.
• 1:14:52
  Speaker 7: She is a good actress. I know it pains people
• 1:14:55
  Speaker 7: to say that.
• 1:14:56
  Speaker 1: She doesn't even do anything anymore, though.
• 1:14:59
  Speaker 7: She makes Iron Man movies?
• 1:15:01
  Speaker 2: Come on.
• 1:15:01
  Speaker 1: Oh, she's in Iron Man?
• 1:15:02
  Speaker 7: I've never seen that. She's Ms.
• 1:15:04
  Speaker 2: Iron Man. So she irons Iron Man's... It's.
• 1:15:08
  Speaker 7: Really hard to do, by the way.
• 1:15:09
  Speaker 2: She does Iron Man's ironing.
• 1:15:12
  Speaker 7: That's ironic. I'm not going to dignify that with a
• 1:15:20
  Speaker 7: response and move on and say, she is captain of
• 1:15:24
  Speaker 7: an industry there, and she is.
• 1:15:26
  Speaker 1: Quite the businesswoman. Oh, yeah, actually, I did read something
• 1:15:29
  Speaker 1: the other day about... this woman who doesn't wear makeup
• 1:15:33
  Speaker 1: and everyone's like, why don't you wear makeup? Like, it's
• 1:15:35
  Speaker 1: a political statement. She's like, just because I don't want
• 1:15:37
  Speaker 1: to fucking wear makeup. But Gwyneth Paltrow, like, always posts
• 1:15:41
  Speaker 1: these selfies, I guess, on her Instagram account where she's like,
• 1:15:43
  Speaker 1: makeup free. And it's just like, dude, like, lots of
• 1:15:46
  Speaker 1: people don't wear makeup. Like, it's not a big deal. Like, congratulations. You, like,
• 1:15:53
  Speaker 1: didn't put makeup on today.
• 1:15:54
  Speaker 7: Well, and once again, a lot of times she probably
• 1:15:58
  Speaker 7: doesn't have to because she has a makeup person.
• 1:16:00
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 1:16:02
  Speaker 7: This was her day off, and so she's like, makeup free.
• 1:16:05
  Speaker 7: It's because they were on lunch.
• 1:16:08
  Speaker 2: Y'all can make fun of that, but I do have
• 1:16:10
  Speaker 2: a Tumblr where I post pictures of me not taking
• 1:16:13
  Speaker 2: out the garbage.
• 1:16:17
  Speaker 7: I can fill a Tumblr like that.
• 1:16:19
  Speaker 2: My daughter has been following this Tumblr for years, and
• 1:16:24
  Speaker 2: I think it's a theme that a lot of people do.
• 1:16:26
  Speaker 2: It's like what I wore, but it's some dude, and
• 1:16:29
  Speaker 2: it's just like, a polo and khakis every fucking day.
• 1:16:34
  Speaker 2: He's been doing this for like a decade.
• 1:16:39
  Speaker 7: It's what I wore.
• 1:16:41
  Speaker 2: And there's nothing interesting about anything he ever wears. But
• 1:16:46
  Speaker 2: he does it religiously. I gotta look that up again.
• 1:16:51
  Speaker 2: It's been a little while since I've looked at that.
• 1:16:55
  Speaker 2: Another big debate is like, did Tony Soprano die? At
• 1:17:00
  Speaker 2: the end of The Sopranos.
• 1:17:02
  Speaker 7: In the real world.
• 1:17:03
  Speaker 2: Yes, he did. In the real world, I guess, ask
• 1:17:06
  Speaker 2: and answer, Counselor. But I just felt like you do
• 1:17:11
  Speaker 2: know the series is over, don't you? I mean, so
• 1:17:16
  Speaker 2: what kind of event would be, I don't know. I
• 1:17:21
  Speaker 2: don't know why people would argue with it. It seemed
• 1:17:24
  Speaker 2: clear to me.
• 1:17:25
  Speaker 7: All those actors decided to not make it in?
• 1:17:27
  Speaker 1: I love when people read way into a movie or
• 1:17:30
  Speaker 1: a series, and then they interview the writers, and the
• 1:17:34
  Speaker 1: writers are like, I mean, if you want to believe that,
• 1:17:37
  Speaker 1: you can.
• 1:17:38
  Speaker 7: I like that. That's kind of why I wish writers
• 1:17:40
  Speaker 7: and directors would just shut up. Just don't go into it.
• 1:17:43
  Speaker 1: Let people think their thing. They're like, we didn't really
• 1:17:46
  Speaker 1: think that far ahead, but if you want to come
• 1:17:48
  Speaker 1: up with a theory, then I guess that's cool.
• 1:17:51
  Speaker 7: That's what shows like us exist for, damn it.
• 1:17:55
  Speaker 1: But that's really funny when they're like, what? When like
• 1:17:58
  Speaker 1: fans are like, tell us, tell us what you meant.
• 1:18:01
  Speaker 1: And they're like, it was kind of like cut and dry.
• 1:18:04
  Speaker 7: They're like, I had a deadline. So I like ended it.
• 1:18:08
  Speaker 1: No, I mean, like, people take it to have, like,
• 1:18:10
  Speaker 1: a really deep.
• 1:18:11
  Speaker 2: Cryptic meaning.
• 1:18:11
  Speaker 7: Oh, I know, but even then, they're like, so then
• 1:18:13
  Speaker 7: I turned it in, but you took that it ended
• 1:18:16
  Speaker 7: like that differently. I just kind of wrapped it up,
• 1:18:21
  Speaker 7: and we made a movie.
• 1:18:22
  Speaker 2: Or there are those blog things that's like, well, we
• 1:18:24
  Speaker 2: know what the true meaning is because there was one
• 1:18:28
  Speaker 2: writer who worked on that show who said there was
• 1:18:32
  Speaker 2: a draft in which they had written this. It's like... Yeah,
• 1:18:37
  Speaker 2: but they didn't go with that draft. They went with
• 1:18:40
  Speaker 2: what they went with, and that was what the show.
• 1:18:43
  Speaker 7: And even then, because that's the thing, I like it
• 1:18:46
  Speaker 7: better when they don't come out and tell you all
• 1:18:48
  Speaker 7: that stuff, writers and directors. or whoever's making the film
• 1:18:51
  Speaker 7: but i'm like even when they do it's like that's
• 1:18:53
  Speaker 7: still like the the film you know that's kind of
• 1:18:56
  Speaker 7: what i like about movies in general is it's like
• 1:18:59
  Speaker 7: or any art form truthfully it's what you do with
• 1:19:02
  Speaker 7: it so like if you're sitting there and you take
• 1:19:04
  Speaker 7: it this way That is the way it is. You
• 1:19:08
  Speaker 7: are the viewer. You're absorbing the art, whatever the hell
• 1:19:12
  Speaker 7: it may be. And you're like, this is what I
• 1:19:14
  Speaker 7: think of it. This is what I'm doing with it.
• 1:19:16
  Speaker 7: If it works right, you can take it however you want.
• 1:19:19
  Speaker 7: You can enjoy it however you want.
• 1:19:22
  Speaker 1: It's like one of my favorite sociological quotes, which probably doesn't...
• 1:19:25
  Speaker 1: I'm probably misinterpreting this quote. I'm just going to throw
• 1:19:27
  Speaker 1: that out there.
• 1:19:28
  Speaker 7: You can interpret it however you want.
• 1:19:31
  Speaker 1: But it's... I can't even remember who said it, but
• 1:19:33
  Speaker 1: it's like when men define situations as real, they're real
• 1:19:35
  Speaker 1: in their consequences.
• 1:19:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:19:38
  Speaker 1: That's what I think about like that.
• 1:19:40
  Speaker 2: Well, that's... There's a word for that. It's called reification. Yeah.
• 1:19:46
  Speaker 2: When something is reified, it becomes real because people... But
• 1:19:52
  Speaker 2: that was like Treme. I watched Treme all the way
• 1:19:54
  Speaker 2: to the end. And by the end, like in the
• 1:19:57
  Speaker 2: first season, you notice that Antoine... It's like a shitty
• 1:20:01
  Speaker 2: husband and a shitty father. And he can't buy the
• 1:20:07
  Speaker 2: right size clothes for his kids when he sees them
• 1:20:10
  Speaker 2: like once every month, you know. But then you start
• 1:20:15
  Speaker 2: to notice he's kind of a pretty good ex-husband. Like
• 1:20:20
  Speaker 2: if you're going to have an ex-husband, he does all right,
• 1:20:23
  Speaker 2: you know. And then by like the last season, his
• 1:20:29
  Speaker 2: ex-wife is saying, You know, I think I like you
• 1:20:32
  Speaker 2: better now that we're divorced. And you're going, this show
• 1:20:36
  Speaker 2: is fucking over, man. When people have to put the
• 1:20:40
  Speaker 2: stuff that you can notice in the dialogue, there's no
• 1:20:45
  Speaker 2: point in watching anymore. There's nothing to watch for. But
• 1:20:51
  Speaker 2: it had great moments, but they just ran out of
• 1:20:55
  Speaker 2: the energy to do good work.
• 1:20:58
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 1:20:59
  Speaker 1: That's how I felt about God Bless America. We were
• 1:21:01
  Speaker 1: talking about Bobcat earlier. And it's just like, I kind
• 1:21:04
  Speaker 1: of like where they were going, but it's like they
• 1:21:06
  Speaker 1: over-explained things to the point where it made my head hurt.
• 1:21:12
  Speaker 1: And not because I didn't need to have it explained
• 1:21:14
  Speaker 1: to me. It's like they were justifying all the horrible
• 1:21:17
  Speaker 1: stuff they were saying.
• 1:21:18
  Speaker 7: And I'm just like, no.
• 1:21:19
  Speaker 2: Very blatantly justified.
• 1:21:21
  Speaker 7: And I felt like there was no... Writing there, there
• 1:21:25
  Speaker 7: was no characters on the screen. I felt like I
• 1:21:27
  Speaker 7: was just hearing Bob go away. Like everything that was
• 1:21:31
  Speaker 7: screamed out by these characters is just Bob kind of
• 1:21:35
  Speaker 7: being angry because he's angry a lot. Yeah.
• 1:21:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I got that too. I remember seeing that. And
• 1:21:41
  Speaker 2: I also remember seeing, wait, was Christina Ricci in that?
• 1:21:45
  Speaker 7: No.
• 1:21:46
  Speaker 2: Who was in that?
• 1:21:46
  Speaker 1: Some girl.
• 1:21:48
  Speaker 7: Yeah, I haven't seen her in a lot of other stuff.
• 1:21:50
  Speaker 2: She reminded me of her. Oh, it reminded me of
• 1:21:54
  Speaker 2: that movie Pumpkin. It's the only movie where they actually...
• 1:22:00
  Speaker 2: You know, there's that expression, winking at the camera. That's
• 1:22:05
  Speaker 2: actually the ending of the movie. She winks at the
• 1:22:08
  Speaker 2: fucking camera. It's like, yeah, I got that a while ago.
• 1:22:14
  Speaker 2: I got that this was funny. But thank you for validating...
• 1:22:19
  Speaker 2: It's like I'm getting my test score handed back to
• 1:22:23
  Speaker 2: me now. But they did the scansion sheet.
• 1:22:26
  Speaker 3: Like, okay.
• 1:22:27
  Speaker 7: You don't argue with Christina Ricci.
• 1:22:30
  Speaker 2: I'm pretty sure that was her.
• 1:22:31
  Speaker 1: It was Christina Ricci in Pumpkin.
• 1:22:33
  Speaker 7: She's in Pumpkin, yeah. Well, Marlena, you said you had
• 1:22:37
  Speaker 7: seen something.
• 1:22:39
  Speaker 1: Today, Throw Mama from the Train was on TV.
• 1:22:41
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:22:42
  Speaker 1: And so was Forrest Gump. And I watched a little
• 1:22:45
  Speaker 1: bit of them at work for like a couple of
• 1:22:47
  Speaker 1: minutes because there was nothing to do and I didn't
• 1:22:49
  Speaker 1: feel like Doing anything like more than what was required
• 1:22:53
  Speaker 1: of me.
• 1:22:54
  Speaker 2: Did you mix them up into a new movie composed
• 1:22:57
  Speaker 2: of half?
• 1:22:57
  Speaker 7: Throw Forrest Gump from the Train.
• 1:22:58
  Speaker 1: Yes, it was Throw Forrest Gump from the Train.
• 1:23:00
  Speaker 2: You did talk about Mama a lot. That's interesting. Mama
• 1:23:05
  Speaker 2: always said, as I threw her from.
• 1:23:11
  Speaker 1: The train. There's a scene on Throw Mama from the
• 1:23:15
  Speaker 1: Train where they're watching TV and And the guy on
• 1:23:18
  Speaker 1: TV looks like Bill Murray, but it's not.
• 1:23:20
  Speaker 2: Oh, weird.
• 1:23:21
  Speaker 7: It's probably one of those other random brothers.
• 1:23:23
  Speaker 1: That's what I was thinking.
• 1:23:23
  Speaker 7: I haven't watched in a while, so I don't know.
• 1:23:25
  Speaker 2: Y'all never brought him up in the Dynasties episode.
• 1:23:28
  Speaker 7: Which one?
• 1:23:29
  Speaker 2: Dynasties. Hollywood Dynasties. He and his brothers.
• 1:23:33
  Speaker 7: Which brother? I mean, which?
• 1:23:35
  Speaker 2: I don't know. Who knows who the fuck his brothers are?
• 1:23:38
  Speaker 2: The Murray brothers? Bill Murray, yeah. Because they're around. As
• 1:23:43
  Speaker 2: much as those Baldwin brothers are.
• 1:23:45
  Speaker 7: They're at a.
• 1:23:46
  Speaker 1: abundance of them too i feel like everything we've talked
• 1:23:49
  Speaker 1: about tonight is like six degrees of kevin bacon because
• 1:23:54
  Speaker 1: joel murray was in is bill murray's brother he was
• 1:23:58
  Speaker 1: in god bless america yeah six.
• 1:24:01
  Speaker 2: Degrees of candy bacon we.
• 1:24:04
  Speaker 1: Should we should have an episode that just talks remember
• 1:24:07
  Speaker 1: when we used to play that game like all the
• 1:24:08
  Speaker 1: time or maybe it was just me by myself Which,
• 1:24:12
  Speaker 1: Kevin Bacon?
• 1:24:13
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 1:24:13
  Speaker 7: No, because I used to be really good at it.
• 1:24:15
  Speaker 2: I know.
• 1:24:15
  Speaker 7: And now my brain is useless. I guess I can
• 1:24:19
  Speaker 7: blame Google because I used to be able to do
• 1:24:21
  Speaker 7: that all in my head. And now I'm just like, wait, oh,
• 1:24:24
  Speaker 7: is that one movie?
• 1:24:26
  Speaker 2: I didn't see some of his main movies, though.
• 1:24:29
  Speaker 7: That could be.
• 1:24:30
  Speaker 2: That's not fair to me.
• 1:24:31
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 1:24:33
  Speaker 2: I do know all about the actual Six Degrees studies and,
• 1:24:37
  Speaker 2: you know, Stanley Milgram. And, like, the letter studies. And
• 1:24:41
  Speaker 2: then later they studied the Internet to see if it
• 1:24:44
  Speaker 2: brought people closer together. And it didn't. But they didn't
• 1:24:49
  Speaker 2: really study hubs. They studied people who were hubs. Because, like,
• 1:24:54
  Speaker 2: the original experiment was to send a letter from, like,
• 1:24:58
  Speaker 2: Iowa or someplace and send it to a stockbroker in
• 1:25:02
  Speaker 2: New York. Send the letter to somebody you know who
• 1:25:05
  Speaker 2: you think will know a stockbroker. And it took about six.
• 1:25:09
  Speaker 7: Mm-hmm.
• 1:25:10
  Speaker 2: Links to get it there but later somebody studied it
• 1:25:14
  Speaker 2: and they found that it just goes around aimlessly until
• 1:25:19
  Speaker 2: it goes to one of those people who knows everybody
• 1:25:23
  Speaker 2: and there are just certain people who know everybody they
• 1:25:27
  Speaker 2: forge social connections all over the place but I haven't
• 1:25:33
  Speaker 2: followed up on it to see if like these sites
• 1:25:36
  Speaker 2: that act as hubs have Because I think they have
• 1:25:41
  Speaker 2: to have. Because, like, I just find somebody's iPod on
• 1:25:46
  Speaker 2: the street, and I find her on Facebook and give
• 1:25:48
  Speaker 2: it back to her, and now I know this chick who's, like,
• 1:25:52
  Speaker 2: from the Czech Republic, and she loses iPods wherever she goes.
• 1:25:59
  Speaker 2: I know people, you know, like, I ran into 20
• 1:26:03
  Speaker 2: years ago, and it's a hobby of mine. It's like, oh,
• 1:26:06
  Speaker 2: let's see if they're around.
• 1:26:07
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 1:26:09
  Speaker 2: And it turns out they are, you know. Not all
• 1:26:12
  Speaker 2: the time, but every once in a while. But, yeah,
• 1:26:16
  Speaker 2: I remember hearing that that was Hillary Clinton's favorite movie.
• 1:26:21
  Speaker 7: Six Degrees of Separation.
• 1:26:22
  Speaker 2: Because, yeah, Will Smith.
• 1:26:26
  Speaker 7: Who doesn't like Will Smith?
• 1:26:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but here's the weird thing about that is Donald Sutherland. Like,
• 1:26:33
  Speaker 2: I'm totally cool with young Donald Sutherland. But I hate
• 1:26:37
  Speaker 2: old Donald Sutherland. I don't know what it is about him.
• 1:26:41
  Speaker 2: I just hate that dude. And his offspring.
• 1:26:45
  Speaker 7: Speaking of Dynasty. Demon spawn of Donald Sutherland.
• 1:26:49
  Speaker 2: Like when I saw the remake of... Body Snatchers?
• 1:26:56
  Speaker 1: What?
• 1:26:57
  Speaker 7: Body Snatchers? No.
• 1:27:00
  Speaker 2: Not Body Snatchers. The other really good one.
• 1:27:03
  Speaker 7: The Vanishing. Ah, you love that Americanized Vanishing.
• 1:27:09
  Speaker 2: No, I never saw it.
• 1:27:10
  Speaker 7: The ending is so great.
• 1:27:11
  Speaker 2: No, I saw What's-His-Name's face on the preview, and I'm like, God,
• 1:27:19
  Speaker 2: I would not see that if it saved my life.
• 1:27:24
  Speaker 2: If that movie was a medical procedure that would cure me,
• 1:27:28
  Speaker 2: of like a terminal cancer, I would not have that procedure.
• 1:27:32
  Speaker 7: I saw it, and there's one bright spot.
• 1:27:34
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 1:27:34
  Speaker 7: Sandra Bullock. Back when nobody had any idea who she was,
• 1:27:38
  Speaker 7: except for me.
• 1:27:39
  Speaker 2: You're fucking up my prejudice.
• 1:27:42
  Speaker 7: She's adorable.
• 1:27:44
  Speaker 1: Is that the movie where she dies?
• 1:27:46
  Speaker 2: Which movie where she dies? No, that was Gravity.
• 1:27:50
  Speaker 8: No.
• 1:27:51
  Speaker 7: It's the damnedest thing.
• 1:27:53
  Speaker 2: Her re-entry burns up, coming back in through the atmosphere.
• 1:27:57
  Speaker 1: Is that a debate, too?
• 1:27:58
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:27:59
  Speaker 1: Whether she dies in gravity or she lives?
• 1:28:02
  Speaker 6: Yes.
• 1:28:05
  Speaker 2: She burns up and drowns. It's sad.
• 1:28:09
  Speaker 7: Oddly enough, also does that in The Blind Side.
• 1:28:12
  Speaker 2: That was kind of an okay movie. It wasn't intellectual
• 1:28:18
  Speaker 2: or literary. But it doesn't need to be.
• 1:28:20
  Speaker 7: It's based around gut-wrenching action. And it does that amazingly well.
• 1:28:28
  Speaker 2: It's the kind of movie that's entertainment, but it's the
• 1:28:31
  Speaker 2: kind of entertainment that sends you out of the theater
• 1:28:35
  Speaker 2: really happy to be alive and stuff. And I feel
• 1:28:38
  Speaker 2: like there is something.
• 1:28:40
  Speaker 7: By the time he gets to the end. Again, he's
• 1:28:42
  Speaker 7: not a terrible director. He had a vision. He just
• 1:28:45
  Speaker 7: didn't worry about all the nonsense in the middle there.
• 1:28:48
  Speaker 2: And again.
• 1:28:50
  Speaker 7: Everybody was kind of knocking it for dialogue, which there's
• 1:28:53
  Speaker 7: a little clunky stuff.
• 1:28:54
  Speaker 2: It was really hokey.
• 1:28:56
  Speaker 7: When you get midway in, though, it's like, what dialogue?
• 1:28:59
  Speaker 7: Who the fuck is she talking to? She's talking to herself.
• 1:29:04
  Speaker 2: She was talking to George Clooney there.
• 1:29:06
  Speaker 7: For a while. I saw something where they were calling
• 1:29:08
  Speaker 7: her out for very obvious, like, oh, well, she just
• 1:29:11
  Speaker 7: states what she does next. Yeah, because it's a movie.
• 1:29:14
  Speaker 7: And if she thinks it, you won't know what she's doing.
• 1:29:17
  Speaker 7: It's called filmmaking. She has to say it out loud
• 1:29:20
  Speaker 7: or you don't know what she's doing now. I finally
• 1:29:25
  Speaker 7: heard somebody say that and I was like, okay, you know,
• 1:29:26
  Speaker 7: I'm going to have to defend gravity for a minute
• 1:29:29
  Speaker 7: because it's a movie and you can't hear her thoughts.
• 1:29:33
  Speaker 2: I liked it pretty well. She's like a good universal humanoid.
• 1:29:37
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 1:29:37
  Speaker 2: You know, she has that fetal kind of thing. She
• 1:29:41
  Speaker 2: has that kind of relatability like, you know, Paris, Texas.
• 1:29:48
  Speaker 2: Just universal human. There's no way. Children outside? Yeah, we've
• 1:29:56
  Speaker 2: got a bad children infestation in this neighborhood. We're trying
• 1:30:00
  Speaker 2: to see if we... We keep calling the city, but
• 1:30:03
  Speaker 2: we're getting nowhere.
• 1:30:04
  Speaker 7: Well, you're going to have to get a private guy
• 1:30:06
  Speaker 7: to come out and spray for them.
• 1:30:07
  Speaker 2: They just send you around, you know.
• 1:30:09
  Speaker 7: A private operation will spray and take care of them.
• 1:30:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's terrible. I mean, George Clooney's bit was pretty hokey.
• 1:30:18
  Speaker 7: Well, he's George Clooney. I mean, he's like, yeah. He
• 1:30:20
  Speaker 7: can do whatever he wants. He's like, I'm pretty fucking cool, right? Yeah,
• 1:30:24
  Speaker 7: I am. I'm George Clooney. You're right. I'm going to
• 1:30:28
  Speaker 7: head off out here in space.
• 1:30:30
  Speaker 2: You know what?
• 1:30:30
  Speaker 7: I'm going to be cool even then.
• 1:30:32
  Speaker 2: I agree.
• 1:30:33
  Speaker 1: I feel like he pulls it off.
• 1:30:35
  Speaker 7: He does because he's George Clooney. You couldn't give that
• 1:30:38
  Speaker 7: to anybody else.
• 1:30:39
  Speaker 2: That's the Altenheim. That is an extended care facility.
• 1:30:45
  Speaker 7: Didn't you used to live next to that?
• 1:30:47
  Speaker 2: There's a sign over there that says protected by the Pinkertons.
• 1:30:52
  Speaker 2: I don't think it's really protected by the Pinkertons.
• 1:30:55
  Speaker 1: What's a Pinkerton?
• 1:30:56
  Speaker 7: Didn't the Pinkertons go under in the 1800s?
• 1:30:58
  Speaker 2: They're the guys who chased Butch Cassidy and his son
• 1:31:01
  Speaker 2: Hank's kid over a cliff.
• 1:31:04
  Speaker 7: Didn't the Pinkertons die out a long time ago?
• 1:31:08
  Speaker 2: Well, I think the company was actually bought by some
• 1:31:11
  Speaker 2: other security company or something. But there's a sign over there,
• 1:31:14
  Speaker 2: and I'm really tempted to steal it. I would like
• 1:31:18
  Speaker 2: to have that song.
• 1:31:19
  Speaker 7: Well, I don't think you can because that place is protected.
• 1:31:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:31:23
  Speaker 7: I know.
• 1:31:25
  Speaker 1: What if there's Pinkertons left and they're kind of secret,
• 1:31:27
  Speaker 1: like the Freemasons?
• 1:31:29
  Speaker 2: Oh, yeah.
• 1:31:29
  Speaker 7: Or what if they pop out like a hobo and
• 1:31:31
  Speaker 7: they're like, ah-ha!
• 1:31:32
  Speaker 1: They just don't talk about it anymore.
• 1:31:34
  Speaker 2: They go around disguised as hobos now, living in your house.
• 1:31:39
  Speaker 1: They're never going to sleep again. Yeah.
• 1:31:42
  Speaker 7: So, I don't know. I think... To finish our gravity thing.
• 1:31:49
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:31:50
  Speaker 7: But yeah, I think by the end, again, you get
• 1:31:52
  Speaker 7: past the little, you know, okay, there's some hokey dialogue there. Okay,
• 1:31:56
  Speaker 7: she says some things out loud to herself. But by
• 1:31:58
  Speaker 7: the time you get to the end, I'm like, I
• 1:32:00
  Speaker 7: think he had a vision there. I think there really,
• 1:32:03
  Speaker 7: he is still a good, impressive filmmaker. And I think
• 1:32:06
  Speaker 7: he had something to say with the way he wrapped
• 1:32:08
  Speaker 7: it up. And that's why you walk out of the
• 1:32:10
  Speaker 7: V and you're like, yes, that was awesome.
• 1:32:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it was.
• 1:32:13
  Speaker 7: I think it works. It's a good film. Because it works.
• 1:32:16
  Speaker 7: It was.
• 1:32:17
  Speaker 2: And that kind of criticism is easy to do. Yeah.
• 1:32:19
  Speaker 2: But it's like when. One of my favorite movies is
• 1:32:24
  Speaker 2: Ballad of the Sad Cafe. Because that's the kind of
• 1:32:28
  Speaker 2: thing I like.
• 1:32:29
  Speaker 7: Skull crushingly depressing.
• 1:32:31
  Speaker 2: There you go. Daddy's skull.
• 1:32:34
  Speaker 7: I've been talking to your kids.
• 1:32:37
  Speaker 2: But I love that movie. And when the play came out.
• 1:32:42
  Speaker 2: A critic. criticized Edward Albee and said he'd just lifted
• 1:32:46
  Speaker 2: all the dialogue from the book. That's all he'd done.
• 1:32:50
  Speaker 2: And Albee said, yeah, except there's no dialogue in the book.
• 1:32:56
  Speaker 2: And so he thought it was the best review he'd
• 1:32:59
  Speaker 2: ever got, because it sounded just like the book, but
• 1:33:03
  Speaker 2: it was all... That was a bit of an exaggeration.
• 1:33:08
  Speaker 2: There was some indirect dialogue. like I remember them talking
• 1:33:12
  Speaker 2: about how they could never, like the dwarf would always
• 1:33:16
  Speaker 2: talk about particular things and she would always want to
• 1:33:19
  Speaker 2: philosophize about things in general. She would talk about why
• 1:33:24
  Speaker 2: peas were good. And he would say those peas we
• 1:33:26
  Speaker 2: had last night was poor. So there was indirect dialogue.
• 1:33:32
  Speaker 2: You got this sense of the language, but that was
• 1:33:35
  Speaker 2: a great movie. And that was, you know, um, give
• 1:33:39
  Speaker 2: another callback to the Dynasty episode. Red Graves. Whatever happened
• 1:33:46
  Speaker 2: to the Red Graves of yesteryear?
• 1:33:48
  Speaker 7: They died. Much like the fire. The fire is dying out.
• 1:33:55
  Speaker 2: I think we're going.
• 1:33:57
  Speaker 7: To have to wrap this up. The fire is dying out.
• 1:33:59
  Speaker 7: I think we're wrapping this thing up. Thank you for
• 1:34:04
  Speaker 7: joining us on our campfire episode.
• 1:34:07
  Speaker 2: We never told a ghost story.
• 1:34:09
  Speaker 7: We didn't have any other than Marlena's crazy ghost stories.
• 1:34:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but I already told it.
• 1:34:13
  Speaker 1: Nothing new has happened.
• 1:34:13
  Speaker 2: Okay, I'm going to tell a scary campfire story real quick.
• 1:34:18
  Speaker 2: I told this to a group of kids once when
• 1:34:20
  Speaker 2: we were out camping. It was like a whole group
• 1:34:23
  Speaker 2: of kids. It was like, okay, there was this mother,
• 1:34:26
  Speaker 2: and she was out at a mall with her baby.
• 1:34:30
  Speaker 2: And she was carrying the baby, and she felt like
• 1:34:33
  Speaker 2: the baby needed the diaper changed.
• 1:34:37
  Speaker 3: So.
• 1:34:38
  Speaker 2: She went and she took the diaper off the baby
• 1:34:40
  Speaker 2: and threw it in the trash. And then she went
• 1:34:43
  Speaker 2: into her purse and she didn't have any more diapers.
• 1:34:48
  Speaker 2: So she reached back in the trash and got the
• 1:34:51
  Speaker 2: diaper out and put it back on the baby until
• 1:34:54
  Speaker 2: they got home and she could change his diaper. And
• 1:34:57
  Speaker 2: then she got home and it was a different brand
• 1:35:01
  Speaker 2: of diaper.
• 1:35:01
  Speaker 7: Oh, Ruth. Not so much of the story as how
• 1:35:12
  Speaker 7: seriously you were taking the story.
• 1:35:16
  Speaker 2: That's a great story. I love that story. And it's
• 1:35:22
  Speaker 2: a true story. That was told to me by the mom.
• 1:35:26
  Speaker 7: By the baby.
• 1:35:28
  Speaker 2: By the baby.
• 1:35:30
  Speaker 1: Who later died of hepatitis.
• 1:35:35
  Speaker 7: Dead babies.
• 1:35:36
  Speaker 2: What a dysentery.
• 1:35:38
  Speaker 7: That's the way to end this episode.
• 1:35:41
  Speaker 1: Is that a thing? I thought I had dysentery earlier
• 1:35:44
  Speaker 1: this week. No, there's a really bad stomach virus thing
• 1:35:47
  Speaker 1: going around that almost everyone's got, and I don't really.
• 1:35:49
  Speaker 2: Know what it is, but.
• 1:35:52
  Speaker 1: It's horrible.
• 1:35:53
  Speaker 2: It's probably some mutated alien stuff.
• 1:35:56
  Speaker 1: It's like some pig virus again.
• 1:35:58
  Speaker 2: Pig virus?
• 1:35:59
  Speaker 7: Yeah. We should probably stop doing that with pigs. I know. Otherwise,
• 1:36:03
  Speaker 7: that about does it. We will return next week. Same

  Speaker 1: heated by all sides of the fire because you can't, like,
• 1:39:19
  Speaker 1: be inside the fire.
