  Speaker 1: Tell me if this sounds familiar.
• 0:02
  Speaker 2: You're listening to a podcast, attending a presentation, or watching
• 0:07
  Speaker 2: a live stream, and after a whole bunch of chatter,
• 0:10
  Speaker 2: the hosts finally get around to the reason for the
• 0:13
  Speaker 2: whole shebang, saying, without further Ado. It happens all the
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: time at almost every event going back to the beginning
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: of recorded history. But what happens at the host never
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: actually get to the main attraction. What if the whole
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: thing were just the ado?
• 0:34
  Speaker 3: This is that show? Wow?
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: Patrick, this today when we're recording this is January twentieth,
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: an important day in history. Many people might say, oh,
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: January twentieth, it's inauguration day when we swear in the
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: new presidents. We don't care about any of that. That's
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: not what I'm talking about. I'm talking about the anniversary
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: of a historic event in rock and roll. On this
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: day in nineteen eighty two, you were about twenty five
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: at that time, hanging out, you know, with your gang
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: no at a concert in Des Moines, Iowa. Something happened.
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: Let's see if you can answer this trivia question. What
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: shocking act did Ozzy Osbourne perform during a concert that
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: he became infamous for.
• 1:47
  Speaker 4: Are we talking about when he bit the head off
• 1:48
  Speaker 4: the bat.
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: That's exactly what we're talking about. On this day, nineteen
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: eighty two, Ozzy bit the head off a live bat.
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: You're probably wondering why was a live bat on stage?
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: An audience member threw it there. This was like a
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: thing like at the beginning of the show, Ozzie would
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: like fling like meats and intestines and stuff at the audience,
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: and then they started to, like I guess they were
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: started throwing like live animals and frogs and stuff back.
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: Some guy brought a bat through it on stage. Ozzy
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: thought it, says he thought it was fake, bit into
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: it and then he said he felt something twitch and
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: then stuff started gushing into his.
• 2:29
  Speaker 4: Mouth and that's where you get the blood down his mouth.
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, the iconic moment. So a couple you know,
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: just refund some trivia, some follow up questions about Ozzie
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: during his time as the front man for Black Sabbath.
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: What was Ozzy's nickname?
• 2:49
  Speaker 4: Uh, the oz Man, Not the oz Man cometh, The
• 2:54
  Speaker 4: oz Man cometh.
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: There you go, that's it. No, that's not it.
• 3:00
  Speaker 4: Uh. I don't know. I feel like I know this,
• 3:03
  Speaker 4: but I I'm trying to think of what do I
• 3:06
  Speaker 4: get any multiple or no? No, no, no no on
• 3:09
  Speaker 4: this one.
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: No, we're not doing multiple today.
• 3:13
  Speaker 4: Ozzy's nickname the Something of Death.
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: I mean, you're in the you're in the ballpark.
• 3:20
  Speaker 4: Darkness there it is the Prince of Darkness.
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you got it, Oh Prince Darkness?
• 3:28
  Speaker 4: Is that your Ozzie?
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: That's why, Like old Ozzy from the Osbourne's when he
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: was like barely functional anymore.
• 3:36
  Speaker 4: Yeah, he had this Sharon Sharon, Sharon the bubbles Sharon.
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: All right, I got one more for you. When he
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: bit the head off the bat in Iowa. Ozzie was
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: actually not performing with Black Sabbath. Why they kicked him
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: out in nineteen seventy nine for excessive substance abuse. So
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: what band with a pun name was he performing with
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: at the time?
• 4:06
  Speaker 4: Mmm, he was performing with a band. He wasn't doing
• 4:09
  Speaker 4: something solo.
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: Right, I'm no, he was like the lead act. So
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: the band you know name is based on him or
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: his name, if that helps you. It's a pun, it's
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: a play on his name a little bit.
• 4:23
  Speaker 4: It's involved there, Uh, Ozzy and the Harriets.
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: I should have given you multiple choice on this one,
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: because this one I didn't know this either. The name
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: of the band was Blizzard of Oz.
• 4:35
  Speaker 4: Oh okay, oz. Yeah, I do know that there was
• 4:39
  Speaker 4: an album Blizzard of Oz. I didn't realize that was
• 4:42
  Speaker 4: a band name too.
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: Maybe it was the name of the tour, the name
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: of the album. There is an Ozzy Osbourne Blizzard of Oz.
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: So maybe maybe I'm wrong. Maybe it was the name
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: of the tour and not the name of the band. Okay,
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: so maybe I give you inaccurate questions.
• 5:00
  Speaker 4: You would try to trick me, just like those movie
• 5:02
  Speaker 4: trivia questions we had earlier.
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's inaccurate. The Blizzard of Oz.
• 5:07
  Speaker 4: Tour, Okay, I remember that. I would have never gotten
• 5:11
  Speaker 4: what tour it was. But I love that the Blizzard
• 5:15
  Speaker 4: of Oz, just like the Prince of Darkness, he always
• 5:17
  Speaker 4: had good marketing. I mean, he knew how to sell himself,
• 5:20
  Speaker 4: he knew his brand. Mm hmmm. What I find interesting about,
• 5:25
  Speaker 4: you know, the whole Ozzy Osbourne thing is that he
• 5:28
  Speaker 4: is one of those I mean, it doesn't work for
• 5:30
  Speaker 4: everybody who goes off and does a solo career, but man,
• 5:33
  Speaker 4: Ozzy had a great solo career after Black Sabbath. You
• 5:37
  Speaker 4: know what I mean, probably one of the best in
• 5:40
  Speaker 4: history that I can think of.
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: That's true. He was bigger, bigger than the band. They're
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: probably like, oh man, maybe we should have kept that
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: guy here doing all massive amounts of drugs and tearing us.
• 5:50
  Speaker 4: Apart, eating the heads off beats.
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: Do you own the Blizzard of Oz record?
• 5:57
  Speaker 4: No, I have a couple of like Memoirs of a Madman.
• 6:02
  Speaker 4: I've got that vinyl and I've got I've got a
• 6:05
  Speaker 4: Black Sabbath album. Got Paranoid, get.
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: Some Aussie in the collection. You know, if you wanted to,
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: you could probably go grab Blizzard of Ozz. You probably
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: find it on Amazon. Amazon price check.
• 6:19
  Speaker 4: Back in the saddle again of the segment that just
• 6:23
  Speaker 4: brings us home to the greatest online shopping experience slash
• 6:31
  Speaker 4: platform in the world. Amazon what a sell Yeah, sell
• 6:36
  Speaker 4: out maybe is what you're trying to go for. The
• 6:40
  Speaker 4: Amazon price check is exactly what you think it is.
• 6:45
  Speaker 4: We basically come with any Amazon product, big or small,
• 6:50
  Speaker 4: little or big. See what I did there, Expensive or cheap,
• 6:54
  Speaker 4: could be tiny, could be large, Yeah, it could be
• 6:58
  Speaker 4: very minuscule, be gigantoid. Anyway, we each come with an
• 7:03
  Speaker 4: Amazon product, we describe that product, and we share two
• 7:08
  Speaker 4: real reviews of that product, but we never say the price,
• 7:12
  Speaker 4: and then we use the prices right rules where the
• 7:16
  Speaker 4: guesser has to, based on the description and the reviews,
• 7:20
  Speaker 4: make the best guess of the price of that product
• 7:23
  Speaker 4: without going over.

  Speaker 1: He's like, I don't want these fools who just guess
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: over every time. Get him out of here.
• 7:38
  Speaker 4: I really think of Bob Barker being harder about those
• 7:42
  Speaker 4: rules than Drew Carrey because I've never really watched all
• 7:45
  Speaker 4: that much of Drew carry on there. But you know,
• 7:48
  Speaker 4: he's fun guy. But I feel like Bob Barker would
• 7:51
  Speaker 4: beat you down if you broke the rules. Maybe it's
• 7:53
  Speaker 4: because of the Happy Gilmore incident.
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: Yeah, we know he's tough.

  Speaker 4: for more than just arts and crafts. So I wake
• 13:17
  Speaker 4: up in the middle of the night in my two
• 13:19
  Speaker 4: bedroom apartment. I find me roommate passed out face down
• 13:24
  Speaker 4: on the wooden floor. I think nothing of it and
• 13:27
  Speaker 4: go back to sleep. The next morning, I wake up
• 13:30
  Speaker 4: to go to work and there's a homeless guy asleep
• 13:33
  Speaker 4: on my couch. My roommate woke up still drunk and
• 13:37
  Speaker 4: had made friends with a bum, and this is the
• 13:40
  Speaker 4: second time he let a stranger off the street just
• 13:42
  Speaker 4: stroll in and pass out. Great, you're probably thinking, what
• 13:46
  Speaker 4: does this have to do with my arts and crafting? Well,
• 13:50
  Speaker 4: I bought this product and proceeded to cover everything my
• 13:53
  Speaker 4: roommate owns in glitter, every T shirt, every book, every
• 13:58
  Speaker 4: pair of shoes, his bed. He covered his entire life
• 14:01
  Speaker 4: in glitter. He will have glitter in every crevice of
• 14:04
  Speaker 4: his existence until he dies. Did some track out all
• 14:08
  Speaker 4: over my apartment? Yes? Does the carpet look like a
• 14:11
  Speaker 4: care bear farted all over it? Yes? Did he threaten
• 14:15
  Speaker 4: to kill me? Sure? But will he ever let another
• 14:19
  Speaker 4: stranger sleep on the couch?
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: No?
• 14:22
  Speaker 4: Will I ever have to worry about a random guy
• 14:24
  Speaker 4: off the street murdering me in the night? No? All
• 14:27
  Speaker 4: the security for just this price, unbelievably staggering value cannot
• 14:34
  Speaker 4: recommend enough.
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: Wow.
• 14:39
  Speaker 4: I loved that review, and I thought this sells the
• 14:42
  Speaker 4: product right there. I wasn't even going to buy the glitter,
• 14:45
  Speaker 4: but now I might have to buy the glitter to
• 14:48
  Speaker 4: do what he's doing. Oddly enough, though, as I went
• 14:52
  Speaker 4: down the rabbit hole, I realized that this is a
• 14:54
  Speaker 4: common theme for glitter on Amazon. Yeah, glitter. Can I
• 15:02
  Speaker 4: get a price check? What do you think, Shad?
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: So this one is, uh, it's tricky here a pound
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: of glitter. I'm trying to figure out how much glitter
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: that is. Obviously, this guy's talking about covering everything his
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: roommate owns with this, just this one thing of glitter,
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: which seems impossible. You know, I've bought a lot of
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: craft things for my daughter. Some can be expensive, some not.
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: People also seem to be enthralled. They're very happy with
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: the low price on this. I think I'm gonna go
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: with three ninety nine. That's the number in my head.
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: All right, three nine a pound of glitter. I might
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: be going a little too low. I actually think this
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: might be priced higher than expected. So I'm worried about that.
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: But I don't want to go over, you know. It's
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: that fear of going over the mountain.
• 15:55
  Speaker 4: I'm pleased to report that you did not go over.
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: You also did not go over.
• 16:01
  Speaker 4: Oh that's good. Well, so then it's just a matter
• 16:03
  Speaker 4: of who got closer.
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: It is just a matter of that.
• 16:07
  Speaker 4: Okay. So the glitter fourteen ninety nine.
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: Just like I was worried, it was more because in
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: my mind at one point I was like, it's probably
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: a little more than I think it might be. Twelve.
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: I was gonna go twelve ninety nine, and I'm like, ah,
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: that's a good chance that shoots over.
• 16:26
  Speaker 4: Well, twelve ninety nine would have been pretty good.
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: Twelve and ninety nine would have been real good.
• 16:30
  Speaker 4: Yeah. Oddly enough, so the first gentleman who his roommate had,
• 16:35
  Speaker 4: the homeless guy that stayed with them, that was back
• 16:39
  Speaker 4: in twenty fourteen. The same glitter sold for twelve forty four,
• 16:43
  Speaker 4: So you would have been over then. But now it's
• 16:47
  Speaker 4: fourteen nine nine, and that's actually not a big price
• 16:50
  Speaker 4: jump over the last you know, twelve years.
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: Now, just a little little bit of inflation there.
• 16:56
  Speaker 4: Mm hmm. Yeah.
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: So but yeah, shot a little low on that. I
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: ended up being what'd you say? It was fourteen ninety nine. Yeah,
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: so I'm off by eleven dollars. Yeah, that stings eleven
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: dollars even though that's not bad.
• 17:11
  Speaker 4: How did I do? I guess? Is the question?
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: You guessed four ninety nine actual retail price nine seventy
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: eight for the granny panties.
• 17:25
  Speaker 4: Oh so I would have been closer at the seven
• 17:27
  Speaker 4: ninety nine.
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: Were you were right there on the seven ninety nine.
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: You were right on it. You backed away because of
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: the fear of overage, but you still ended up winning.
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: You were you were off by four dollars and seventy
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: nine cents, obviously less than eleven dollars.
• 17:49
  Speaker 4: I forget the sound effect they used to have on
• 17:51
  Speaker 4: the prices, right, But you know, I just remember I
• 17:57
  Speaker 4: run down the like path and then they come up
• 18:00
  Speaker 4: on the stage and they had me spin the wheel.
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and then somebody just hands you a draft, a draft.
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: So this is a new segment we have not done before.
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: A first time we're in. We each draft teams on
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: a randomly determined topic. Each team gets five picks. You
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: can't pick the same thing. If one person gets it,
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: it's off the board. So this week's topic classic repeat
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: watch movies from the eighties nineties, heyday of HBO. Both
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: of us experts in this topic as HBO kids, kids
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: who grew up watching HBO NonStop throughout the eighties and nineties.
• 18:54
  Speaker 4: That's right, HBO kids coming to a podcast platform near you.
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: Shameless plug. Nice work, shameless. So we're gonna draft movies
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: in the following five categories comedy, drama, action, kids, horror,
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: sci fi. And you don't have to draft the categories
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: in that order.
• 19:14
  Speaker 2: You know.
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: When it's your turn, you can pick any of those categories.
• 19:18
  Speaker 4: And you can argue if you need to, Hey, this
• 19:22
  Speaker 4: movie is definitely in this category, even if it doesn't
• 19:26
  Speaker 4: seem like it at first, that it should fit in
• 19:28
  Speaker 4: that category.
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: Yeah, if you want to be like something like The
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: Elephant Man is actually a comedy. Yeah, if you can
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: sell it, you can get it.
• 19:36
  Speaker 4: Yeah, you just have to sell it, so you go first.
• 19:40
  Speaker 4: I'll give you the first draft pick.
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: All right, the first draft pick. I'm gonna go let's
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: see here. Where do I want to go? I'm gonna
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: go kids, and I'm gonna take a surprise one one
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: we haven't I don't think we've talked about, but that's
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: just kind of popped in my mind. I'm gonna take
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: the movie's Face Camp. Do you remember the movie Space
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: Camp where the kids accidentally they go to space camp
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: and they accidentally get shot into space.
• 20:08
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I love this movie. I saw this in the
• 20:10
  Speaker 4: theater too, did you really? Yeah? I remember seeing this.
• 20:14
  Speaker 4: I love this. It made me want to be an astronaut.
• 20:16
  Speaker 4: When I was a kid.
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a great one. I believe. It also has
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: Leah Thompson in it, who was a great eighties actress.
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: You know, she was in Back to the Future.
• 20:27
  Speaker 4: Who's the lead mail in that? I feel like the
• 20:31
  Speaker 4: boy is Jason Patrick or somebody like.
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: That, or it's got Tate Donovan and Joaquin Phoenix as
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: he's a little kid. Then he's then credited as Leaf
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: Phoenix that he's not the main guy. He's like, I
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: think Tate Donovan is the main guy. Tate Donovan, Kate Capshot,
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: Kelly Preston also in this movie.
• 20:51
  Speaker 4: Oh yeah, Kate Capshaw. Okay, Kelly Preston. Yeah, I remember that. Yeah,
• 20:55
  Speaker 4: I love that movie. That's a good pick.
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: A few new ones I'm pulling out for us. So
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: that's my picking. Kids, I got space camp.
• 21:02
  Speaker 4: You know what I'm gonna go with. I'm gonna go
• 21:04
  Speaker 4: with drama, and I'm gonna pick uh. I think this
• 21:08
  Speaker 4: fits into drama. Gleaming the Cube.
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I think you can put it there. If
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: you wanted to slide it into action, you probably could
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: get it in there too, But I think drama would
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: I would say that's where I would where I would
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: have put it.
• 21:20
  Speaker 4: Christian Slater, little cameo appearances from some of the Skaters
• 21:26
  Speaker 4: of the day. Tony Hawk made an appearance in this
• 21:29
  Speaker 4: in this movie, just fantastic trip down memory Lane. But
• 21:33
  Speaker 4: for all those thrashers out there from that time period,
• 21:38
  Speaker 4: Gleaming the Cube definitely a favorite.
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: Christian Slater when he was just he had a great
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: run where he was just cranking him out. Yeah, pump
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: up the volume, Heathers, Gleaming the Cube, anything he was in.
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: You're like, yes, Christian Slater, he's doing it.
• 21:53
  Speaker 4: Yeah. Young Christian Slater just was all over the place.
• 21:57
  Speaker 4: Young guns too. We were talking about off air.
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, Arkansas Dave super cool. So that's a good
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: pick for my next one. I think I'm gonna go
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: to action, you know, slash thriller, and I'm gonna throw
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: out another one. I don't think we've talked about recently.
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: It's not on our list, but I'm sure you've watched
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: it several times on HBO. And that is the movie
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: dead Calm.
• 22:22
  Speaker 4: Oh yeah.
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: Nicole Kidman Boat Movie.
• 22:26
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it's like.
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: Nicole Kidman's first movie. She's trapped on a boat with
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: a psychotic Billy Zane.
• 22:33
  Speaker 4: Yeah, that's a crazy pick. I never thought you would
• 22:36
  Speaker 4: have picked that one.
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm reaching you know, I'm reaching down deep. I'm
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: trying to pull out some new stuff in that surprise
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: you here.
• 22:42
  Speaker 4: You did that under drama. I did that under Action Action. Okay,
• 22:47
  Speaker 4: that could have probably gotten drama too. Yeah. You know,
• 22:50
  Speaker 4: I always picked the same things, and you know, like
• 22:52
  Speaker 4: the ones that you want me to pick just because
• 22:54
  Speaker 4: you know me as an audience. If you've listened to
• 22:57
  Speaker 4: any of the other podcasts, like oh, Action, you gotta
• 22:59
  Speaker 4: pick point break right or something like that. No, no, no,
• 23:03
  Speaker 4: I'm gonna dig deep here, and I'm gonna pick Action Jackson.
• 23:07
  Speaker 4: It's in the name.
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: Oh yes, yes, I thought about this one too.
• 23:12
  Speaker 4: Yeah, fantastic movie. If you have not seen this, you
• 23:17
  Speaker 4: have to go see Action Jackson with Carl Weathers, Sharon Stone.
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: I forgot Sharon Stone.
• 23:27
  Speaker 4: Yeah, Craig T. Nelson coach, and Vanity. Vanity was in it,
• 23:33
  Speaker 4: which she was making making her rounds back then too.
• 23:36
  Speaker 4: This was a great movie. And I man, he was
• 23:39
  Speaker 4: great at this. Carl Weathers. It's too bad he didn't
• 23:42
  Speaker 4: get more sequels. He could have been a This could
• 23:44
  Speaker 4: have been a franchise.
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: Yeah, let me ask you, when you think of Action Jackson,
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: what's kind of the Is there a part or signature
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: moment you remember most from that movie? I know I
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: have one.
• 23:55
  Speaker 4: What's the part that you think of?
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: I think of him on the roof of the car
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: as it's like driving. That's what I always like picture
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: in my mind.
• 24:03
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I was trying to think of a specific scene,
• 24:06
  Speaker 4: and I got to be honest, it's been a long time.
• 24:08
  Speaker 4: I just remember thinking how cool Carl Weathers was in
• 24:11
  Speaker 4: this movie, like at that time. I guess he would
• 24:14
  Speaker 4: have been a little younger because this is eighty eight.
• 24:17
  Speaker 4: What is Predator?
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: I think it's around the same time. Yeah, so it's
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: eighty seven or eighty eight or eighty nine somewhere in there.
• 24:25
  Speaker 4: Predator is eighty seven, So this is like right after Predator.
• 24:28
  Speaker 4: But you know, like he was, he was just such
• 24:31
  Speaker 4: a cool dude, and like in Predator, he didn't play
• 24:34
  Speaker 4: like the hero really, you know, he was kind of
• 24:37
  Speaker 4: probably the antithesis of the hero there. But in Action Jackson,
• 24:42
  Speaker 4: you know, he's center stage and you know, like the
• 24:45
  Speaker 4: poster artwork for this, you know, he looks like James Bond, essentially,
• 24:50
  Speaker 4: you know, with Vanity, sort of like they're leaning up
• 24:53
  Speaker 4: against each other. He's got his pistol, you know, a
• 24:56
  Speaker 4: little James Bond look to it. And so anyway, Action Jackson,
• 25:03
  Speaker 4: I'm gonna go with that one.
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: I really like that. That was also on my action
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: thriller list. I thought about that one, all right. So
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: for my next one, I'm gonna go into drama, pull
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: out another wild card that you're gonna like, Lean on
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: Me with Morgan Freeman.
• 25:19
  Speaker 4: I love that movie. I love that movie.
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: It's super good, isn't it. He comes in and he's
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: just hard ass and he cleans up the school and
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: he does things different and they're like, what are you doing, Joe,
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: You can't do this, and he's like, I'll do whatever
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: I want. I'm the principal. Yeah, makes all the kids
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: learn the school song. He boards up the doors, tells
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: the kid who comes to school on crack to jump
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: off the roof like he's He just comes in and
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: cleans that place up man, and it's great, great Morgan
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: Freeman and just a super rewatchable movie.
• 25:52
  Speaker 4: I could watch that movie over and over again to
• 25:54
  Speaker 4: this day and love it so much. Like I there
• 25:57
  Speaker 4: are parts of that movie that I can I still
• 26:00
  Speaker 4: quote to this day. There's a part where they're arguing,
• 26:03
  Speaker 4: I forget if it's the guy who he's friends with,
• 26:06
  Speaker 4: and he's like, that's what you said, Frank, that's what
• 26:08
  Speaker 4: you said, you know, and he's he's like, he's arguing
• 26:11
  Speaker 4: with him about something I don't even remember what the
• 26:14
  Speaker 4: you know it was. They're arguing about him being the
• 26:17
  Speaker 4: principal clearly and doing something he wasn't supposed to do. Also,
• 26:21
  Speaker 4: I don't even know my own high school's alma mater,
• 26:24
  Speaker 4: but I can go. He's sad in the the guys,
• 26:28
  Speaker 4: the punks who are in the bathroom, and he catches
• 26:32
  Speaker 4: them and he makes them learn the alma mater. Yeah,
• 26:36
  Speaker 4: and they turn it into like a really cool, like
• 26:40
  Speaker 4: R and B song. Yeah, Yeah, I mean it's so good.
• 26:43
  Speaker 4: Then he brings him in front of he gaslights them
• 26:46
  Speaker 4: almost and he like pulls them in front of the
• 26:48
  Speaker 4: whole thing, and they think they're in trouble.
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he's like, get in.
• 26:52
  Speaker 4: Here, and he does it, makes him do it in
• 26:53
  Speaker 4: front of the whole class and everybody's cheering. It's so good.
• 26:58
  Speaker 4: I love that movie. All Right, Well, we're on a roll.
• 27:01
  Speaker 4: We're picking stuff that we haven't thought about.
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, this is we're digging deep.
• 27:04
  Speaker 4: Yeah. So I'll save this one for a last because
• 27:08
  Speaker 4: it's a little bit of an argument I think for comedy,
• 27:11
  Speaker 4: there's so many good ones on there. I'm not gonna
• 27:14
  Speaker 4: do the honorable mentions. But here's what I'm gonna pick.
• 27:16
  Speaker 4: I'm gonna pick better Off Dead.
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: I thought you might do it. It's such a Patrick movie.
• 27:21
  Speaker 4: Yeah. I love this movie. Again, one of those where
• 27:24
  Speaker 4: I still quote it to this day. I want my
• 27:27
  Speaker 4: two dollars. You know that kid on the bike who
• 27:30
  Speaker 4: follows him around throughout the movie. He's on his paper
• 27:34
  Speaker 4: route or whatever. He wants his two dollars and he
• 27:36
  Speaker 4: just chases him around. But John Cusack watching this at
• 27:39
  Speaker 4: a young age, you go back and watch it. The
• 27:42
  Speaker 4: nostalgia's all there. There's also like a really crazy scene
• 27:46
  Speaker 4: where they do the David Lee Roth van Halen with
• 27:50
  Speaker 4: the like animated burger. I think that's in this movie
• 27:54
  Speaker 4: at the like where he's doing the dishes. Do you
• 27:57
  Speaker 4: know what I'm talking about?
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: Yeah?
• 27:59
  Speaker 4: Yeah, the burger starts singing. He's like daydreaming or something.
• 28:03
  Speaker 4: I don't I don't even remember that scene all that well,
• 28:05
  Speaker 4: but I do remember the I think they're playing maybe
• 28:08
  Speaker 4: Eruption by Van Halen or or there was other I
• 28:11
  Speaker 4: don't know what song it is now that I think
• 28:13
  Speaker 4: I don't know.
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: The song, but that sounds right. And there's several of
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: those like daydream sequences in the movie. You know, they're
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: kind of like surreal, it's not quite happening, but it's
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: all in his head.
• 28:22
  Speaker 4: Yeah. So Better Off Dead that's one too. I would
• 28:25
  Speaker 4: like to rewatch. That's that's why I picked it.
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: That's a good one. Comedy was the toughest one for me.
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: I'll go with the brother of Better Off Dead, which
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: is one crazy Summer from the same guy who made
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: Better Off Dead with also John Cusack again similar kind
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: of like sense of humor. Also gets some cartoons in
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: like mixed in there, which I loved when I was
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: a kid. We also get Demi Moore Bobcat Goldwaight doing
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: his thing, which I also at the time was like
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: it was so funny.
• 28:58
  Speaker 4: He was still he still had that.
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he had the heat, you know, he was like
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: police Academy and stuff like that. Everybody was like, this
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: guy's hilarious. Yeah, so yeah, that's my that was kind
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: of my go to, I think ahead of Better Off
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: Dead at the time. Uh though, you know, now if
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: I went back and watched mood Prie flip.
• 29:15
  Speaker 4: It's funny because Better Off Dead keeps popping up on
• 29:17
  Speaker 4: my streaming list, keeps telling me that I want to
• 29:20
  Speaker 4: watch it, and I'm like, I do want to watch it.
• 29:22
  Speaker 4: You're right, all right, So I'm going to go kids.
• 29:25
  Speaker 4: And I'm going to say I was really torn on
• 29:27
  Speaker 4: this one between Short Circuit and Explorers, and I don't know.
• 29:32
  Speaker 4: I guess i'd have to make the argument. Would you
• 29:34
  Speaker 4: say Short Circuit is a kid's movie?
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: Yeah? I would. I think that's yeah.
• 29:39
  Speaker 4: I loved Explorers though, like as a kid, But you know,
• 29:42
  Speaker 4: Short Circuit just had this like one of those things
• 29:44
  Speaker 4: where I could watch that over and over and over again,
• 29:47
  Speaker 4: watching Johnny five. So I think I'm going to go
• 29:49
  Speaker 4: with Short Circuit.
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: That's a good I mean, it's a good pick. You
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: can't get wrong. In the eighties, you're like a robot
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: and he's on the run. Steve Gutenberg's in.
• 29:58
  Speaker 4: It, yeah, Ali Sheety and Johnny five, he was a
• 30:02
  Speaker 4: real thing. Then that's the other thing, like if we're
• 30:05
  Speaker 4: just looking at like blockbuster success. I mean, Johnny five
• 30:09
  Speaker 4: was everywhere. Everybody loved Johnny five.
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: We watched this not so long ago, and I was like, oh,
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: Johnny five, you are.
• 30:18
  Speaker 4: The voice or the.
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: I'm alive Stephanie. Yeah.
• 30:23
  Speaker 4: But you know what, like the ridiculousness that kind of
• 30:28
  Speaker 4: stuff flew back then.
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: It did. It didn't like it was a cheesier time,
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: and especially when you were a kid, You're like, this
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: guy's funny.
• 30:36
  Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, he's a robot. He's allowed to have
• 30:38
  Speaker 4: a weird voice. You know, he got electrocuted and came alive, so.
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: He did his brain was like Frankenstein. You're right though,
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: And these were like real robots. These weren't like CGI. Yeah,
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: they like made these actual robots, and you believed that
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: this was a character who was.
• 30:56
  Speaker 4: Alive, practical effects living on to this day.
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: All right. So for my last one here, you know,
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: I'm left with horror sci fi. I'm gonna go with
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: you know, I'm gonna go with the classic though, I'm
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: gonna go with a Krueger. I'm gonna go with Nightmare
• 31:10
  Speaker 1: on Elm Street three. It's the one I remember like
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: watching the most. This is The Dream Warriors m H.
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: And this is you know, a bunch of kids who
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: are like in an institution, are like kind of fighting
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: with Freddy. He's doing some crazy stuff. We've got Lawrence Fishburne,
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: Patricia Arquette. This was kind of one where you're like, oh, okay,
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: they're doing more than just Freddy's killing people. It got
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: a little more creative, and I think it kind of
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: gave the series a bump and brought it back to
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: life a little bit. Might be the best one. It's
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: kind of like where it's started to get a little
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: funny before it went over the top. So to have
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: like the good humor, the like interesting like creative kills.
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: I think it's just the series at its peak. And
• 31:55
  Speaker 1: when I was a kid, I was like, oh, that's
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: you know, that's scary. So I'll put that in there.
• 31:59
  Speaker 1: Though you know, there were a few others. This one
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: didn't have a clear cut answer for me.
• 32:04
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I like that. I think that this category, it's
• 32:07
  Speaker 4: it's hard because it is also mishmashed horror sci fi.
• 32:11
  Speaker 4: I mean not everything's horror, not everything's sci fi. Definitely
• 32:15
  Speaker 4: not horror sci fi combined.
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: So no, you could go either way you could go
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: you know, horror, you could go hard sci fi if
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: you wanted to.
• 32:22
  Speaker 4: Yeah, but I think that's a good one. Uh Freddy,
• 32:25
  Speaker 4: you know, lives on and is uh striped you know,
• 32:29
  Speaker 4: knitted sweater.
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: I mean, still a popular Halloween costUS.
• 32:32
  Speaker 4: We talked about that. It's a it's a winner. We
• 32:35
  Speaker 4: did Winter Winter Freddy will Kill You at dinner. I
• 32:39
  Speaker 4: had a tough time with this one too, because there
• 32:41
  Speaker 4: was something that I also argued whether or that he
• 32:43
  Speaker 4: would even be in this.
• 32:45
  Speaker 1: Could splash be in here, I don't think.
• 32:48
  Speaker 4: So what is I mean? You know she's a mermaid.
• 32:52
  Speaker 1: You're trying to play the sci fi angle a little bit.
• 32:55
  Speaker 4: I don't know. I don't know. I just it was
• 32:57
  Speaker 4: more of a joke than anything good one though. I
• 33:00
  Speaker 4: So I ended up picking Starman with Jeff Bridges. That
• 33:04
  Speaker 4: was eighty four. This one's great and I don't know
• 33:07
  Speaker 4: if it holds up. I'd have to go back and
• 33:09
  Speaker 4: watch it. But here's a summary for this one, just
• 33:12
  Speaker 4: to give you a to wet your whistle, so to speak.
• 33:15
  Speaker 4: Answering a NASA message intended for aliens, a space being
• 33:20
  Speaker 4: tries to contact mankind, but an American missile grounds his ship. Scrambling,
• 33:26
  Speaker 4: the so called Starman Jeff Bridges inhabits the body of
• 33:30
  Speaker 4: a late with wisconsinite and kidnaps the dead man's widow,
• 33:35
  Speaker 4: Jenny Hayden Karen Allen. Determined to reunite with the vessel
• 33:39
  Speaker 4: from his home planet at a predetermined site, Starman and
• 33:43
  Speaker 4: Jenny travel to Arizona. Pursued by the military officials trying
• 33:47
  Speaker 4: to kill him, Starman forges a lasting bond with Jenny.
• 33:51
  Speaker 1: Jenny, I like, let me just read you the first
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: line in the describing Starman from the HBO guide, which
• 33:59
  Speaker 1: is he came to Earth looking for a new world
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: dot dot dot and found love.
• 34:06
  Speaker 4: That's so much better. It's a deep cut. It is
• 34:09
  Speaker 4: most people will not be talking about this movie down
• 34:13
  Speaker 4: the road. What I like about this movie is the
• 34:15
  Speaker 4: way that the alien came and interacted with us. You
• 34:21
  Speaker 4: had to take over a dead man's body, which I
• 34:23
  Speaker 4: thought was interesting. That's not an approach that most alien
• 34:28
  Speaker 4: movies take. Usually they just come They're like, I'm a Martian.
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: This is kind of why I remember being excited about
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: this movie because of the title, and then watching it
• 34:39
  Speaker 1: as a young person and being like kind of like,
• 34:41
  Speaker 1: what the hell is this? This is not what I'm
• 34:44
  Speaker 1: signing up for when I watch Starman.
• 34:46
  Speaker 4: That's a romantic sci fi movie, one could argue, is
• 34:49
  Speaker 4: it better than Enemy Mine? Also of the time period?
• 34:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah, also very much of the time. But an HBO
• 34:57
  Speaker 1: classic if there ever was one.
• 34:59
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I wouldn't mind watching Starman again to see if
• 35:02
  Speaker 4: it holds up. I bet it's really good. I mean
• 35:05
  Speaker 4: it's got bridges, yeah, young bridges.
• 35:08
  Speaker 1: And not digitally altered, you know, to look young bridges,
• 35:12
  Speaker 1: real young bridges.
• 35:13
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: So recapping, I ended up with Space Camp, Dead, Calm
• 35:21
  Speaker 1: lean On Me, Nightmare on Elm Street Three, The Dream Warriors,
• 35:25
  Speaker 1: and One Crazy Summer. I'd watch that. I'd watch that
• 35:28
  Speaker 1: full lineup all day.
• 35:30
  Speaker 4: Yeah, and I had better Off Dead Gleaming, The Cube,
• 35:33
  Speaker 4: Action Jackson, Short Circuit and Starman also pretty good.
• 35:39
  Speaker 1: Watch Yeah, sit me down for ten hours, I'll watch that.
• 35:44
  Speaker 4: Well. We hope you like that one.
• 35:46
  Speaker 1: Put this be a segment.
• 35:49
  Speaker 4: So as everyone knows, we'd like to end each episode
• 35:51
  Speaker 4: by pitching an idea for a new segment on the show.
• 35:55
  Speaker 4: So what do you got, Chad?
• 35:56
  Speaker 1: My new segment idea is called Weird a Future. Weird
• 36:02
  Speaker 1: future trends. So what happens in this segment is we
• 36:06
  Speaker 1: would share something that could become a thing people do
• 36:09
  Speaker 1: in the future, either near or far future. So there'll
• 36:13
  Speaker 1: be three parts to this One what is the trend?
• 36:18
  Speaker 1: Two how does it start? And three how does it scale?
• 36:22
  Speaker 1: So let me give you some examples. Example one pickle socks.
• 36:29
  Speaker 1: The trend is people put pickle slices in their socks
• 36:34
  Speaker 1: to absorb electrolytes and stay energized. How does this start?
• 36:39
  Speaker 1: Someone mentions pickle juice helps with muscle cramps or runner
• 36:43
  Speaker 1: jokes about not wanting to drink it and tries sticking
• 36:46
  Speaker 1: it in a sock, comments fill with bro science about
• 36:49
  Speaker 1: electrolyte absorption. How does it scale? Wellness and fitness creators
• 36:55
  Speaker 1: frame it as passive hydration DIY video debate pickle types, thickness,
• 37:02
  Speaker 1: and sock placement, and then brands release socks with built
• 37:06
  Speaker 1: in pickle pockets. That's when you know you've reached the
• 37:10
  Speaker 1: apex of the trend. Another example intentional mild discomfort routines.
• 37:18
  Speaker 1: This trend involves people voluntarily adopting tiny inconveniences for mental sharpness,
• 37:26
  Speaker 1: like uneven chair legs, sitting on a chair with uneven
• 37:30
  Speaker 1: legs or having one wet sock. Okay, so how it
• 37:35
  Speaker 1: starts productivity influencers, you know, reference stoicism, We're getting too comfortable.
• 37:43
  Speaker 1: Someone claims a symmetry boosts alertness. Comments fill with I
• 37:48
  Speaker 1: tried this, and how does it scale up? Apps prescribe
• 37:54
  Speaker 1: daily micro discomforts, Furniture brands start selling cognitive challe un chairs,
• 38:01
  Speaker 1: and it becomes, you know, like a badge of discipline.
• 38:03
  Speaker 1: How many of these things can you do? How many
• 38:05
  Speaker 1: of these challenges can you do in a month?
• 38:08
  Speaker 4: Mm hmm.
• 38:09
  Speaker 1: So those are a couple examples. I don't know if
• 38:11
  Speaker 1: the full things there. Maybe it is more about the
• 38:14
  Speaker 1: product that's created. Maybe it's like the the pickle pocket
• 38:18
  Speaker 1: socks or the you know, challenge chairs. Maybe that's a
• 38:21
  Speaker 1: bigger piece of it than it is here where it's
• 38:23
  Speaker 1: just mentioning that in the scale piece. I don't know,
• 38:26
  Speaker 1: what do you think?
• 38:27
  Speaker 4: I like it a lot. I like those examples you gave.
• 38:30
  Speaker 4: Those were really thought out too. This is all so
• 38:33
  Speaker 4: believable today, right, Yeah, you.
• 38:35
  Speaker 1: Can see it happening, right yeah, because we do ridiculous
• 38:38
  Speaker 1: all the time.
• 38:38
  Speaker 4: Yeah, Because like you said, and somebody puts it on
• 38:42
  Speaker 4: there in an influencer or something goes viral or you know,
• 38:47
  Speaker 4: just as like I don't know what's the next thing,
• 38:50
  Speaker 4: you know what I mean. It's like, yeah, remember once
• 38:52
  Speaker 4: upon a time the abroller, like the abroller was oh yeah,
• 38:57
  Speaker 4: the way you were going to get.
• 38:58
  Speaker 1: We had one of those in my house.
• 38:59
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 38:59
  Speaker 1: I think we also had a shake weight.
• 39:01
  Speaker 4: Oh well that was a tough sell for me.
• 39:06
  Speaker 1: But the ab roller, my wife still believes in it.
• 39:09
  Speaker 4: You know, really shakewaight. We have a vibration plate right now,
• 39:17
  Speaker 4: because what's that. It's where you stand on it. It's
• 39:20
  Speaker 4: like the shake weight, but you just stand on it.
• 39:22
  Speaker 4: You take your shoes off, you stand on this plate,
• 39:25
  Speaker 4: and your whole body shake, yeh in it like shakes.
• 39:27
  Speaker 4: It's supposed to release the fascia in your I can't
• 39:32
  Speaker 4: go into the detail. I'm not a scientist doc speak English.
• 39:40
  Speaker 4: I ain't a scientist doc. But you know, these it's
• 39:45
  Speaker 4: just the idea of these trends, you know, get a
• 39:48
  Speaker 4: little out of hand.
• 39:50
  Speaker 1: Based on what you're saying. I like the idea of
• 39:51
  Speaker 1: maybe calling it what's the next thing? Yeah, instead of
• 39:54
  Speaker 1: weird future trends? Yeah, what's the next thing, or I
• 39:59
  Speaker 1: ain't a science is doc.
• 40:02
  Speaker 4: Has nothing to do?
• 40:03
  Speaker 1: That is a good title. We should use that for something.
• 40:06
  Speaker 4: Yeah, we got to turn that into something. It's like
• 40:09
  Speaker 4: kerfuffle with Kurt Russell. All right, I like that. I
• 40:13
  Speaker 4: so mine, you know, I kept mind really really simple.
• 40:16
  Speaker 4: This this episode Mine is just called back from the Dead.
• 40:20
  Speaker 4: It sounds a little crazier than it really is. It's
• 40:24
  Speaker 4: just the idea that we're going to bring a product
• 40:26
  Speaker 4: back from the dead and give it new life by
• 40:29
  Speaker 4: completely changing what it is used for, the name of it,
• 40:34
  Speaker 4: and what audience it's geared towards. An example of this
• 40:40
  Speaker 4: would be a product that died, which some might argue
• 40:44
  Speaker 4: didn't truly die, but the Amazon dash button, remember those
• 40:48
  Speaker 4: hmmm mm hmm. Maybe we resurrect that as a you know,
• 40:52
  Speaker 4: a physical button for emotional decisions, you know, like panic
• 40:56
  Speaker 4: or impulse or regret or hey, you know, like this
• 41:01
  Speaker 4: was something to buy tide and I press this button
• 41:05
  Speaker 4: and it has like ocean sounds that come from it.
• 41:10
  Speaker 4: And we don't call it the Amazon dash button. Maybe
• 41:12
  Speaker 4: we call it sleep with Tide water sounds. That's not
• 41:18
  Speaker 4: very creative or clever title, but you know, changing the
• 41:21
  Speaker 4: product name changing, who's it for? You know, instead of
• 41:24
  Speaker 4: people trying to buy stuff on Amazon, it's I want
• 41:27
  Speaker 4: to fall asleep to the sounds of crashing waves, you
• 41:31
  Speaker 4: know that kind of thing.
• 41:32
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I like, I like this idea. I like the
• 41:35
  Speaker 1: idea of bringing something bringing the products back, like I
• 41:38
  Speaker 1: you know, it could be Google glass or Crystal pepsi
• 41:43
  Speaker 1: or quickster.
• 41:45
  Speaker 4: I was thinking Beta Max VHS tapes.
• 41:48
  Speaker 1: Or what was the one that lost to Blu Ray
• 41:51
  Speaker 1: was like.
• 41:52
  Speaker 4: HD, Yeah, HD DVD, there's laser discs.
• 41:55
  Speaker 1: You know.
• 41:55
  Speaker 4: It's just this idea, like, you know, it could be technology,
• 41:59
  Speaker 4: it could be it could be whatever. And I really
• 42:01
  Speaker 4: like this idea of repurposing something that is dead. And
• 42:05
  Speaker 4: I was thinking about the reason why it sort of
• 42:08
  Speaker 4: like came to me was we were talking about pharmaceutical drugs,
• 42:12
  Speaker 4: you know, and like when they hit their lifespan, the
• 42:15
  Speaker 4: drug companies have to create a new use for that
• 42:17
  Speaker 4: so that they keep the patents for the actual drug,
• 42:21
  Speaker 4: so they find another treatment for that drug, which I
• 42:24
  Speaker 4: think is hilarious, like you're just finding a new audience.
• 42:27
  Speaker 1: Yeah, no, I think that's solid. So put it on
• 42:29
  Speaker 1: the list.
• 42:30
  Speaker 4: Put it on the list, alright, I think this has
• 42:34
  Speaker 4: gone pretty well. The movies. I don't know what we
• 42:37
  Speaker 4: do with those drafts. Do you know what we do
• 42:39
  Speaker 4: with those drafts?
• 42:40
  Speaker 1: I mean, we should do something with them. Hah, we
• 42:42
  Speaker 1: should give them somewhere. We have no way of knowing
• 42:44
  Speaker 1: who wins.
• 42:45
  Speaker 4: Yeah, maybe listeners will actually learn more about those movies
• 42:51
  Speaker 4: when they pick up the new series called HBO Kids
• 42:54
  Speaker 4: and they start listening to that.
• 42:55
  Speaker 1: I mean, it's possible if they liked that little taste
• 42:59
  Speaker 1: and then they want to dive in a little deeper,
• 43:01
  Speaker 1: you know, dig in a little more. Which if you're
• 43:04
  Speaker 1: an HBO kid, you always want to dig in a
• 43:06
  Speaker 1: little more.
• 43:07
  Speaker 4: Yeah, you always want to just keep beating that movie
• 43:10
  Speaker 4: to death by watching it over.
• 43:14
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 43:15
  Speaker 4: I think if you recognize any of the movies we mentioned,
• 43:18
  Speaker 4: you're the prime target for this new series, HBO Kids,
• 43:22
  Speaker 4: and you should listen to it wherever you get your
• 43:25
  Speaker 4: fine fine.
• 43:26
  Speaker 1: Podcasts, Fine fine podcasts.
• 43:30
  Speaker 4: You're sexy podcasts. That was the first time anyone's ever
• 43:38
  Speaker 4: heard sexy in podcasts in the same sentence.
• 43:42
  Speaker 1: It's it's true. Usually like if they if the words
• 43:46
  Speaker 1: get too close to each other, like they bounce, they
• 43:49
  Speaker 1: bounce apart. Yeah, like a bunch of other words just
• 43:51
  Speaker 1: falling between or if they can never be.
• 43:53
  Speaker 4: If they get too close to each other, they like
• 43:56
  Speaker 4: morph into this like coaggulated thing like in Time Cop
• 44:01
  Speaker 4: when the old when the guy from the future unches,
• 44:04
  Speaker 4: this is going past
