  Speaker 1: to be serious. Okay, wait, living the dream man, Living
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: the Dream. I don't know why I'm laughing. You mall
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: me the two cups of Starbucks coffee. Ye, the steroids.
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: You've sound as if you've only had three packs of
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: Lucky Strikes for the last two years.
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: I know.
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: I sound like I'm like drunk or something. I promise
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: you I am sober. I may be drunk on life,
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: but I am sober everywhere else.
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: You're like, you're like Paul Newman in a Color of
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: Money when they ask him if he wants a drink
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: or something, He's like, no, I get I get high
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: on the man upstairs.
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna start saying, not that I ever really have
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: that opportunity, but I'm going to work it into conversations.
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: So we're like sliding in, you know, the end of
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: the summer, and this is crazy. We got just two
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: weeks left and trying to make the best of it,
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: but also some of us have to work, and it's
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: just been trying to maybe start to get you and
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: Emmy used to a schedule again, that's not really easy,
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: trying to cram in some doctor's appointments I should have
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: done with Emmy a long time ago. It just it's
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: just a lot. But this is something that every parent
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: across America is going through right now. We are not
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: the only ones.
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: Well, I don't know that every parent across America is
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: going for that, because I feel like we're the only
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: state in the nation that goes back to school in
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: late July or early August. It's real early. It's ridiculous,
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: it's real early. Other parents will go through this, but
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: I don't feel like they're doing it.
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: And it's just so hot outside. It's it's miserable, so
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: so hot. I really thought that being off work for
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: a couple of months, I would be able to get
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: out and go walk in, and I means it's miserable,
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: Like I'm out there for like ten minutes and then
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: I feel like I'm gonna die. Well, you know what,
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: Patsy says, A Patsy, Oh the Patsy, Oh, yes, you
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: go out walk in after midnight.
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: Which I would do if our neighborhood had street lights
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: and wasn't darker than the depths of Hell.
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: It really is. I won't even go out to our
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: driveway after the sun goes down because it's so black
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: out there.
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: Dark.
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: I'm like, you know, Jason Vorhees could be hiding in
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: the shrubbery, so someone else has to go with me.
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: I have another pair of eyes.
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: It's really it's bad, insane, it's that dark. Like on Halloween,
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: I'll be outside on the front porch and I'll be
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: looking around and all of a sudden There'll be a
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: kid like right in front of me, right in front
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: of my face, like two feet from me, and I'm like,
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: where'd you come from? Like did you just did you
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: get beamed in by Scottie because I could not see
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: you walk up towards our house, And so yeah, I
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: kind of hate it, Like who builds a place without
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: street lights?
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: So I heard someone else in the community talk about
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: recently that it could be because of our proximity to
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: the at Ahuccie River.
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: The neighborhood right next to us that has the million
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: dollar houses all have street lights. Well, uh, huh exactly.
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: Has nothing to do with being close to the river
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: and everything to do with we're the common man.
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: So we both were asked to do an essay for
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: book number two that our friend Eric Shores is putting together.
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: Correct and so you, being the good student, you got
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: on yours immediately and knocked yours out. I put mine
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: off to the last minute. So I've been working on that.
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: I think I've almost got it done. But that's kept
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: us busy.
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: In fairness, I didn't have a job this summer, that's true,
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: and you did. So that's why I was the good
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: student and you couldn't be. So I'm taking that off
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: the table. For those of you that don't remember Eric Shores,
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: we interviewed him last year and he had a book
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: out full of essays called Life Goes On The Lessons
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: we Learned from eighties Music is doing a sequel. So
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: we had him on last year, folks, and we reviewed
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: the book and he's doing another one. This one's called
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: Glory Days. So exciting, and so he's collecting the essays
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: now he's going through it. He said, he told me
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: he's real excited. He sent me some feedback on mine.
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: I made a couple of changes, sent it back in
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: and it has been accepted. Oh, yours mine has been accepted.
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: Mine's not quite there, but it's closed.
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: I don't know who's writing about what, but yours is
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: probably going to be up there for the most touching subject.
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: I would think, Well, we will see it. I've enjoyed
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: it because it's gotten me back in the habit of writing,
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: which I used to do all the time, right, and
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: it's been years and years and years, because you know,
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: mom stuff. It's that doesn't get in the way. I'm
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: blessed to do mom stuff, but you know, it takes precedent.
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: It takes time over that.
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: So we've been doing that. We've been working with deaf
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: Dave on lots of different stuff that'll be coming up
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: in the future. I have a bone to pick with you.
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: A bone to pick, maybe not a.
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: Bone, but I need to follow up with you on something.
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: Uh Oh, So I heard through the grapevine that the
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: episode that I just recently did with deaf Dave where
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: we reviewed Footloose, has you reconsidering watching the movie.
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: So the episode did not. The episode does not have
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: me reconsidering it. Although I did enjoy the episode, what
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: has me reconsidering It was a text that came out
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: that somebody said, Jim, after listening to this, will you
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: reconsider watching Footloose? And my response was absolutely not, because watch.
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: And so it was Jason Colvin who said, did you
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: ever watch Footloose? And I said no? And he said
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: you are missing out? And I said, I have a
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: feeling at this point in life I would probably side
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: with John Lithgow and not that young punk Kevin Bacon.
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: And he said, funny enough, That's why I want you
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: to watch it. This is one of the few movies
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: that does a great job of showing why the protagonist
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: is right and yet the antagonist is right too. They
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: aren't enemies, they just have different perspectives. It's really well done.
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: Plus Kenny Loggins and all that teenager or me sides
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: with Kevin Bacon, older me things. Teenagers do stupid stuff
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: all the time.
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: So I told him, I said, this is the best
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: argument I've heard for me to watch the movie. I might,
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: and the keyword there being might give it a try.
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: So Immy's aunt Paula said that the prom scene in
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: Footloose was just like her real prom when she was
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: growing up.
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: Were they banned from dancing?
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: I don't know about that, but she said that scene
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: just takes her right back.
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: Wow. Okay, that's kind of cool. Yeah, I guess so.
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: So chances are I probably won't watch Footloose, but there's
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: a better chance now than there was before. You did
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: that episode with Deaf Dave. Folks, go check it out.
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: Lindsey talked Footloose with Deaf Dave on his nineteen eighty
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: four show We Had Fun. Yeah, it was a good episode.
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: I enjoyed it, even though I've never seen the movie.
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: It's you know, I sort of feel about Footloose like
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: I feel about Dirty Dancing. We've now flipped to the
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: parents side, right, I'm not sure I'm how comfortable I
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: am with that.
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: I don't like that. I don't like that one bit.
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: It's not a good feeling. I can tell you that. No,
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: So why don't you tell the folks what we did
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: this weekend? Okay, So this weekend we went to the
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: Town Center, which is right here close to where we live,
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: and they often have concerts and movie nights and events.
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: It's a big, open green space. So they had a
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: concert Saturday night. The first band that came out and played.
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: They were called material Girls, Material Girl, Material Girl. That
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: would make sense because there was only one woman in
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: the band. The rest were men, so that would have
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: been weird. She played first, She sang first, and obviously
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: she covered eighties hits. And then the second band came
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: out and did more like the before, Y two K
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: before Y two K the letter B and then the
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: number four and then the letter Y and then the
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: number two and then the letter K before. So we
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: did not get to stay for a whole lot of
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: their concert because I had run out of insulin that
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: keeps me alive as a Type one, so we had
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: to leave. But we saw all of the first set
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: and she was fantastic.
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: She was I was a little nervous at first because
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: it started to rain, and so we had to take
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: her underneath shelter, basically right, and she came out and
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: she had a lot of energy. But they started singing
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: nothing but a good time, and I didn't.
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: Feel like we weren't having a good time.
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: No, we weren't having a good time, but I didn't
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: feel like her vocal range was suited for that song. Right,
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: I agree, And then they immediately went into I want
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: you to Want Me. And again, I didn't feel like
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: her vocal range was into that song. But it's possible
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: that she was just starting to warm up and she
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: hadn't warmed up prior to because then she went into
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: One Way or Another by Blondie and she just knocked
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: that out of the park. And then she went into
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: Billy Squire's Everybody Wants You, and that was freaking awesome,
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: Like she blew that away and I was, I was
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: amazed at that.
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: So I was blown away by her energy. She had
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: the most energy bouncing around on that stage while she
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: was singing. She came down into the audience down the stairs,
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: She came running in the audience, back up the stairs,
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: back up on the stage. Never once did her voice waiver.
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: Nope, nope.
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: You never even heard her take a breath, no, never did.
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: It was really impressive. I have one complaint and that
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: was she let a red balloon.
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: Go daring, ninety nine red balloons.
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: And that stressed me out because that's bad for the environment.
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: She rocked out Jung Jets, I hate myself for loving you,
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: ninety nine red balloons. She started it out in English,
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: but then she finished it up in German, which was
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: really impressive to me. Then they did a rock and
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: version of Time after Time by Cyndi Lauper, and then
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: of course they had to do material Girl by madonnav
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: that's their name, and then hit Me with Your Best
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: Shot by Pat Penatar Don't You Forget About Me from
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: Simple Minds, and then oh I loved it. They did
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: Round and Round by Rat. She had to throw in
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: some hair metal there.
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: She did good.
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: She rocked out Round and Round by Rat and then
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: she did girls Just Want to Have Fun, What I
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: Like About You by the Romantics, and then the guitarist
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: was like, this is what I this is what I
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: think of when I hear eighties music. And they closed
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: it out with Crazy Trade and by Ozzie Osbourne. So
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: that was that was good stuff. That was a good time.
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: We had fun. It started a little rocky with the
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: weather and everything, but ended up we had a great time.
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: Emy wasn't feeling well and we kind of forced her
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: to go because we were supposed to meet people there,
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: and so I kind of felt bad when it started
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: to rain, and then I was like, oh, I don't
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: know if this band's going to be any good. And
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: then but man, I'm glad we stayed. Me too, I'm
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: glad we stayed there. They were pretty awesome. Was reliving
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: relive in the eighties and hearing you know, there are
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: some songs on here that you hear all the time
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: when you go to see eighties band, but everybody wants
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: You by Billy Squire, that's not something you ever hear.
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: That was so that was really cool to me to
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: hear that. In Round and Round by Rath, that's not
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: something you ever hear either. Crazy Trains not something that
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: you hear a whole lot, especially sung by a woman. Right,
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: And so, yeah, she was again The Bam. It wasn't
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: just her. The Bam was fantastic. When they first started playing,
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: I was like, oh, the band's type, but her voice
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: is a little I just think she just hadn't warmed up,
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: because then she got into it. She was amazing.
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: Yep, So we had fun. So we've been busy. But
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: enough about us. Tell us about you what.
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: I don't even know what that means. You just got
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: me really confused, So I did. Before we get onto
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: today's episode, I did receive an email today.
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, tell me about that.
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: Got mail? So I got an email from a guy
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: named Jeffrey Mize, and he said, I just wanted to
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: say that I love the podcast. I wish I would
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: have found it sooner. I'm a truck driver. He's a
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: child of the eight is just like us, a little
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: bit older than me, and he found our podcast somehow,
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: and I guess we're keeping them company on the road. So, Jeffrey,
• 14:58
  Speaker 2: thank you so much for the email. We greatly appreciate it,
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: and I'm glad to know that we can make your
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: job a little bit more enjoyable.
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: That's awesome.
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: I thought so too. I thought it was really cool.
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: All right, So you're ready to get today's episode.
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: Let's do it. This is a podcast that looks back
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: on the decade of the nineteen eighties. We talk about
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: things that were important to us as children and what
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: we look back on with fond memories as adults. Ultimately,
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: this is a nostalgia podcast.
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: It is. And do you want me to tell the
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: folks what we're talking about today?
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: It all right, I know, because I'm middle aged.
• 15:45
  Speaker 3: Ben eyd really more interest.
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: So our middle aged Man Hall of Fame is quickly
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: growing and nominations are coming in at record speed, and
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: We've nominated so many people recently and I've got more,
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: uh that I thought that maybe we would just go
• 16:38
  Speaker 2: through our Middle aged Man Hall of Fame, those that
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: have made it and those that haven't, and talk a
• 16:44
  Speaker 2: little bit about each one and maybe what they did
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: in the eighties and what you liked about them and
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: all that fun stuff. What do you think, And then
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: at the end of the episode, I've got some nominees
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: for you.
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: Let's do it.
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: And I'm not going to tell you how many nominees
• 16:56
  Speaker 2: I have, but it's multiple. We may have to open
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: a new wing.
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: Oh wow, wait, are they living with us? No?
• 17:04
  Speaker 2: A new wing of the Hall of Fame? Okay, all right,
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: we've got we've got a Middle aged Man Hall of
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: Fame building, okay. And there's been people that have been
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: entered in there, and we've have their plaques up and
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: their jackets and everything else and memorabilia about what they've
• 17:19
  Speaker 2: done in their.
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: Lives, but they are not there.
• 17:24
  Speaker 2: They are not there, no, because some of them are
• 17:26
  Speaker 2: dead and it would get really smelly in there if
• 17:29
  Speaker 2: they were. But all their stuff is there that We're
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: running out of room, so we may have to build
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: a new wing. Got it, okay, all right. So our
• 17:38
  Speaker 2: very first nominee and acceptance into the Middle of Age
• 17:42
  Speaker 2: Hall of Fame was Gene Hackman.
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: May he rest in peace.
• 17:47
  Speaker 2: May he rest in peace. So what do you want
• 17:50
  Speaker 2: to talk about, mister Gene Hackman. I know we did
• 17:52
  Speaker 2: kind of an in memoriam earlier this year, but we
• 17:55
  Speaker 2: can talk about things that he did in the eighties,
• 17:57
  Speaker 2: or what you liked about him or whatever.
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: Here is something that I find to be really sad
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: when a celebrity passes away in a particularly tragic way.
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: Sometimes that's what dominates my memory of them. So to me,
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: the way that Gene Hackman passed away was so just
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: horribly sad that I almost can't even tell you what
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: he ever did in his career. I just forget, okay.
• 18:25
  Speaker 2: So he played Lex Luthor in the first two super
• 18:30
  Speaker 2: actually more than the first two Superman movies, but I
• 18:33
  Speaker 2: saw him in Superman two for the first time. That's
• 18:35
  Speaker 2: how I learned of Gene Hackman. He played coach Norman
• 18:39
  Speaker 2: Dale in Hoosiers, one of the greatest sports movies of
• 18:43
  Speaker 2: all time. He starred in Bat twenty one with another
• 18:49
  Speaker 2: Middle Aged Man nominee, Danny Glover.
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: He was in Mississippi Burning also during the eighties. He
• 18:57
  Speaker 2: if you go into the nineties, he plays in one
• 18:59
  Speaker 2: of my favorite movies of all time, which is Crimson Tide,
• 19:03
  Speaker 2: and him and Denzel are just like two heavyweights going
• 19:06
  Speaker 2: back and forth blow to blow. It's amazing. You know,
• 19:10
  Speaker 2: he was in tons and tons and tons of stuff.
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: But and yeah, let me just say I know he was,
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: and I know that his career far outweighs his death. Yes, right,
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: but it's just sad.
• 19:25
  Speaker 2: I mean, let's get off the sadness and talk about
• 19:28
  Speaker 2: celebrate why the fact that he's in the Middle Aged
• 19:30
  Speaker 2: Man Hall of Fame and he was their first nominee.
• 19:32
  Speaker 2: He's dead, Yeah, but I mean you got to be
• 19:36
  Speaker 2: sad about it?
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: Oh? Really?
• 19:38
  Speaker 2: No?
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: Oh I thought if someone was dead you had to
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: be sad. No.
• 19:42
  Speaker 2: Absolutely not. Okay, our next person is alive, so thank god,
• 19:45
  Speaker 2: I won't have.
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: To talk about sadness with you. Let me tell you
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: I have second guesses about this one.
• 19:53
  Speaker 2: Morgan Freeman.
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah, no, yeah, I'm not sure. I don't know that
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: that was a correct call. I have two on here
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: and then I'm questioned. And that's one album.
• 20:01
  Speaker 2: Listen Morgan Freeman.
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: He's always looked the way he looks now, Yes, even
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: back when he was on the Electric Company, So maybe
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: it was still the right call. But driving Miss Daisy, yep,
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: lean on me, Principal Joe Clark singing the school song
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: and then lots of stuff in the nineties. He's got
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: that voice.
• 20:24
  Speaker 2: Oh man, he's he has maybe the greatest narrator voice
• 20:28
  Speaker 2: of all time.
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: Well I don't know, Well, wow.
• 20:33
  Speaker 2: Who would you put above him?
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: I think we've got Darth Vader?
• 20:39
  Speaker 2: All right, Well, I can't pick between the two. Let
• 20:42
  Speaker 2: me just say that.
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: Should he be on the middle aged man.
• 20:45
  Speaker 2: James Earl Jones the we you have to go back
• 20:48
  Speaker 2: and look at him if you want to nominate him,
• 20:50
  Speaker 2: I can choose.
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: No, it's my game, I know.
• 20:53
  Speaker 2: But you just nominated when you can't nominate somebody because
• 20:55
  Speaker 2: think he's an automatic end.
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: All right.
• 20:58
  Speaker 2: So, mister Morgan Freeman, Aushank, Redemption and Deep Impact seven.
• 21:05
  Speaker 2: He was just in everything in the nineties. So mister
• 21:08
  Speaker 2: Morgan Freeman was our second nominee. Uh maybe I know.
• 21:13
  Speaker 2: We nominated Gene Hackman first, and Gene Hackman is the
• 21:16
  Speaker 2: reason why I came up with this because I always
• 21:18
  Speaker 2: thought he looked middle aged, but possibly our middle aged
• 21:23
  Speaker 2: Man Hall of Fame maybe should be called the Wilfred
• 21:27
  Speaker 2: Brimley Memorial middle Aged Man Hall of Fame. He should
• 21:30
  Speaker 2: be like the face of our Hall.
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: Of Fame, so he absolutely should be the face of
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: the whole organization.
• 21:36
  Speaker 2: What do you think about, mister Wilfrid be here?
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: Has never been a human alive that looked more middle
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: aged throughout their entire lives than Wilfred Brimley.
• 21:48
  Speaker 2: Is he the Quaker oats guy?
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he's the Quaker oats guy. He's the beat guy.
• 21:52
  Speaker 2: Got he's got the diabetes. He's the first person that
• 21:54
  Speaker 2: we ever did, I think the Collective America ever heard
• 21:57
  Speaker 2: call it diabetes.
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: I did not know that that was a way to
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: pronounce that, but I also mispronounced words a lot, so
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: I thought, Okay.
• 22:07
  Speaker 2: I knew it was diabetes, but I always thought it
• 22:10
  Speaker 2: was funny that he called it diabetes. That cracked me
• 22:12
  Speaker 2: up every single time.
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: So I thought that if he had have mispronounced it
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: in a commercial, they would have corrected him and redone it.
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: But apparently their budget was so little they just had
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: to go with.
• 22:25
  Speaker 2: It, or maybe they did try to correct him, and
• 22:27
  Speaker 2: he just kept saying diabetes.
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: They were like, no, mister Brimley.
• 22:32
  Speaker 2: He's like those guys that try to say robot but
• 22:35
  Speaker 2: instead say robot. Yes, maybe they can't, Maybe they just
• 22:39
  Speaker 2: can't do it.
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: So I remember Wilford Brimley from Cocoon.
• 22:44
  Speaker 2: He was in Cocoon, he was in the thing, he
• 22:47
  Speaker 2: was in the natural our house, he was in our house,
• 22:51
  Speaker 2: which introduced us to Shannon Doherty. Yes, and I mean
• 22:54
  Speaker 2: that was over the span of like eight nine years.
• 22:56
  Speaker 2: And he looked the same all those eight nine years.
• 22:58
  Speaker 2: And then he got into the nineties and he was
• 23:00
  Speaker 2: doing his Quaker Olds commercials and he still looked the
• 23:02
  Speaker 2: exact same.
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: And then he started talking about his beat us, right,
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: and he was so serious about it.
• 23:09
  Speaker 2: Well, it's a serious disease. I don't know if you
• 23:12
  Speaker 2: know that or not.
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: Oh I didn't know.
• 23:14
  Speaker 2: I had to leave a concert early because of yours.
• 23:18
  Speaker 2: All right. So then another nominee is Tommy Lee Jones. Yep,
• 23:23
  Speaker 2: he hasn't changed. I mean he was in the Coal
• 23:24
  Speaker 2: Miner's Daughter and what was that like, nineteen seventy nine
• 23:26
  Speaker 2: or nineteen eighty yep, And he looked the exact same
• 23:29
  Speaker 2: as he did in The Fugitive, which was in nineteen
• 23:32
  Speaker 2: ninety one, or Space Cowboys, which was in like nineteen
• 23:36
  Speaker 2: ninety nine. He's never changed, he was never aged. I
• 23:40
  Speaker 2: love me some Tommy Lee Jones. He was in Under
• 23:43
  Speaker 2: Siege with our buddy Gary Busey. They were the bad
• 23:47
  Speaker 2: guys and a Steven Sagal movie. As I mentioned the
• 23:50
  Speaker 2: Fugitive US Marshals. He's been in a ton of stuff.
• 23:55
  Speaker 2: No country for old men. Just love Tommy Lee Jones.
• 23:58
  Speaker 2: He's one of our finer actors.
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: We ever wanted to do a Hall of Fame with
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: actors who now look like characatures of themselves, Steven Segall
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: would be the first member to join.
• 24:13
  Speaker 2: Oh that's good stuff, all right. Another nominee and acceptance
• 24:18
  Speaker 2: was mister Richard Mulligan, Yes, the star from Soap and
• 24:22
  Speaker 2: Empty Nest.
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: I loved Empty I know.
• 24:25
  Speaker 2: You loved Empty Nest. He was great in that he
• 24:27
  Speaker 2: was great and Soap and again, I mean Soap was
• 24:31
  Speaker 2: in the late seventies to early eighties. Empty Nest was
• 24:35
  Speaker 2: late eighties to early nineties. He didn't change, not like
• 24:40
  Speaker 2: one bit. And then I went back and looked at
• 24:42
  Speaker 2: some older black and white picture something. He looked the
• 24:44
  Speaker 2: exact same. Yes, So he is a worthy member of
• 24:47
  Speaker 2: our Hall of Fame. I really do think if you
• 24:50
  Speaker 2: go through those first five, that's like the Babe Ruth
• 24:52
  Speaker 2: and Luke Gerrig of middle aged men stuff.
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: All right.
• 24:56
  Speaker 2: And then I nominated because I knew this one would
• 24:59
  Speaker 2: get through. I nominated John Lithgow because I know how
• 25:03
  Speaker 2: much you love Harry and the Hendersons. Plus he's always
• 25:06
  Speaker 2: been kind of like receding hairline for like.
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: Ever forever, so that makes him look middle age.
• 25:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he's a fantastic actor. Third Rock from the Sun.
• 25:16
  Speaker 2: Like I mentioned Harry and the Henderson's, he was in
• 25:19
  Speaker 2: a low rent movie called Ricochet with Denzel Washington, which
• 25:22
  Speaker 2: is actually sneaky good. He was the bad guy in that.
• 25:25
  Speaker 2: So he was the dad in Footloo, He was the
• 25:27
  Speaker 2: dad in Footloose, the he was the foil. He wasn't
• 25:30
  Speaker 2: a bad guy, but he was the foil and Footloose,
• 25:32
  Speaker 2: which we just talked about. He was the bad guy
• 25:36
  Speaker 2: in Cliffhanger with Sylvester Stallone, so plays a good bad guy.
• 25:42
  Speaker 2: Then I had another nominee which I knew would get
• 25:45
  Speaker 2: in because you love old school sketch comedy, and so
• 25:49
  Speaker 2: I knew that mister Tim Conway would get in.
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: Yep.
• 25:53
  Speaker 2: So I'll let you wax poetically about Tim conn Oh
• 25:56
  Speaker 2: my goodness.
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: If you don't know Tim Conway, go to you Tube
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: right now. We'll wait for you. Google Tim Conway and
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: watch some of his skits with Carol Burnett. And I
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: can never remember the other gentleman's name, Harvey Kitel or something.
• 26:12
  Speaker 2: It's not Harvey kayeell. I don't know who it is,
• 26:15
  Speaker 2: but I know it's not Harvey Kitel.
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: Tim Conway he was the ghost.
• 26:21
  Speaker 2: He was so funny. He was regular funny, but he
• 26:24
  Speaker 2: was also physical comedy funny.
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's the part that I was struggling with, the
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: physical comedy part. Like he could fall down a flight
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: of stairs in slow motion and you would just be
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: belly laughing at the absurdity of it all.
• 26:40
  Speaker 2: And then there was always the time where and it
• 26:43
  Speaker 2: didn't happen all the time. It wasn't like Saturday Night
• 26:46
  Speaker 2: Live with Jimmy fallon Horatio Sands, where they laughed all
• 26:49
  Speaker 2: the time. But there was just a few times where
• 26:52
  Speaker 2: he would start to break. He was trying so hard
• 26:54
  Speaker 2: not to break and he was fighting it and that
• 26:56
  Speaker 2: was actually may have been funnier than the actual sketch
• 27:00
  Speaker 2: that was going on.
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: I agree. There was one one character he played and
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: Carol Burnett was like his secretary, and he talked like
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: this and even and oh my gosh, as a little kid,
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: I would just cackle. I think he would be like
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: meeting the Wigans. He would always was always trying to
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: get the secretary to do something, and she was always
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: messing it up.
• 27:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I remember that one all right. Then our
• 27:24
  Speaker 2: next nominee. These aren't in order anymore. I just did
• 27:27
  Speaker 2: the first few in order. Danny Glover was nominated by
• 27:32
  Speaker 2: a patreonor and you accepted him. Yeah, we love Danny Glover.
• 27:38
  Speaker 2: He just announced recently that he has All Time Lethal
• 27:43
  Speaker 2: Weapon BAT twenty one, the afore mentioned BAT twenty one
• 27:47
  Speaker 2: with Gene Hackman.
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: Uh.
• 27:50
  Speaker 2: The way he played off of Mel Gibson in the
• 27:55
  Speaker 2: first Lethal Weapon was just absolutely brilliant. It was like
• 27:58
  Speaker 2: he couldn't stand him.
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: It was magic.
• 28:00
  Speaker 2: He couldn't stand him, yet he was trying to save
• 28:04
  Speaker 2: him and then he was gonna let him do his thing,
• 28:07
  Speaker 2: and then eventually they just came together and were like
• 28:10
  Speaker 2: best friends. And to me, it's the best, probably the
• 28:14
  Speaker 2: best buddy cop movie of all time. Even though it's
• 28:17
  Speaker 2: you think a Buddy Cops, you almost think it like
• 28:19
  Speaker 2: a comedy. This is a serious, diehardish movie, but it's
• 28:25
  Speaker 2: a buddy cop movie. And man, I love me some
• 28:28
  Speaker 2: lethal weapon. The voice of our generation and maybe even
• 28:34
  Speaker 2: the previous generation, mister Casey Kasem. I believe it was
• 28:39
  Speaker 2: dominated by deaf.
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: Dave, that Casey Cayson was out of the blue caught
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: me off guard.
• 28:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah. So Casey Casem was the voice of Shaggy, Yes,
• 28:49
  Speaker 2: but he was the voice of so many Hanna Barbara
• 28:51
  Speaker 2: cartoon characters. He was the voice of a lot of people.
• 28:56
  Speaker 2: He was also the voice on the radio that brought
• 28:59
  Speaker 2: us our American top forty and the seventies and eighties
• 29:03
  Speaker 2: and early nineties. And we loved him. We talk about
• 29:07
  Speaker 2: him all the time.
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: Hear that that voice coming through my stereo speaker. It
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: was like.
• 29:14
  Speaker 2: Butter and I do want to say that we did
• 29:18
  Speaker 2: an episode on Casey Kasem, not Casey Casem the person,
• 29:21
  Speaker 2: but just him counting down the top episodes or the
• 29:24
  Speaker 2: top songs of nineteen eighty five. And that is by
• 29:27
  Speaker 2: far our most listened to episode of all time that.
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: Is Body Loves Him.
• 29:34
  Speaker 2: It's got ten times the listeners to any other episode
• 29:37
  Speaker 2: that we have, and each week it still beats our
• 29:45
  Speaker 2: most current episode. Yeah, it does it. Every single week.
• 29:47
  Speaker 2: It beats. So I don't know if people love Casey
• 29:51
  Speaker 2: Kasem that much, if people are going back and listening
• 29:53
  Speaker 2: to it over and over, if it just caught fire
• 29:55
  Speaker 2: because it hit a right search online or whatever. But
• 30:01
  Speaker 2: I'm thinking about naming every one of our episodes Casey
• 30:04
  Speaker 2: Kaseum counts down because then we might be looking at
• 30:08
  Speaker 2: Joe Rogan money. Oh I love it, But seriously, I
• 30:12
  Speaker 2: don't know what it is about that, but people love that,
• 30:14
  Speaker 2: and we're going to do it again here at the
• 30:16
  Speaker 2: end of the year when we get to nineteen eighty six.
• 30:20
  Speaker 2: All right, somebody nominated mister Willie Nelson, another patreonner.
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and I'm still waiting to hear about.
• 30:28
  Speaker 2: That, Kim about Yeah, Yeah, we need to hear that
• 30:30
  Speaker 2: from you, Donna.
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: So Willie Nelson all day long deserves to be in
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: this category. So no regrets.
• 30:37
  Speaker 2: There started Farm Aid right after this light was it
• 30:40
  Speaker 2: after it was after Live Aid?
• 30:42
  Speaker 3: Right?
• 30:42
  Speaker 2: It was after the success of Live aid. He got
• 30:44
  Speaker 2: together with John Cougar Mellencamp.
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: He recognized the need to help out our farmers. Yeah,
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: if we didn't have our farmers, where would we be.
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: We wouldn't have food, much like if we didn't have
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: our truck drivers. I think those are two things that
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: we take for granted in America now. And Willie Elson
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: realized the struggle and that they needed some help, and
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: he stepped in and got the job done for him.
• 31:06
  Speaker 2: Yeah, raised lots and lots of money for farmers. So
• 31:09
  Speaker 2: I thought that was great. I wish we would do
• 31:10
  Speaker 2: that again, you know, raise money for our farmers. Oh,
• 31:14
  Speaker 2: I know, or our truck drivers. Although truck drivers probably
• 31:17
  Speaker 2: got their due from the late seventies into the early
• 31:20
  Speaker 2: eighties with all the truck driving movies like Smokey and
• 31:23
  Speaker 2: the Bandit and any which Way but Loose and every
• 31:26
  Speaker 2: which Way you Can and over the Top with Sylvester Stallone. Yeah,
• 31:33
  Speaker 2: all kinds of truck driver movies. I don't know what
• 31:35
  Speaker 2: the fascination was with truck drivers back in the day.
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: The pee Wee movie.
• 31:39
  Speaker 2: The Pee Wee movie with Large Marge. You had a
• 31:41
  Speaker 2: truck driver television show with BJ and the Bear.
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: Oh, how could we forget that?
• 31:48
  Speaker 2: So I think maybe we need to do more for
• 31:51
  Speaker 2: our farmers now that I think.
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: About Okay, well, I mean we did do son in law.
• 31:57
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's true, we did, all right. So Will Nelson's
• 32:00
  Speaker 2: in to all the girls he's loved before.
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 32:05
  Speaker 2: Another person that got nominated it was who.
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: Mister Carol O'Connor.
• 32:09
  Speaker 2: And you accepted him Archie Bunker in the heat of
• 32:13
  Speaker 2: the night. Just a brilliant actor. Yeah, And I'm not
• 32:16
  Speaker 2: sure I knew that because as a kid, but you
• 32:18
  Speaker 2: don't really pay attention to actors. You just know who
• 32:21
  Speaker 2: they are. So Carol O'Connor becomes Archie Bunker. But then
• 32:24
  Speaker 2: all of a sudden you see him in the heat
• 32:27
  Speaker 2: of the night and you're like, wait a minute. I
• 32:31
  Speaker 2: wasn't sure Archie Bunker liked black people, but here he
• 32:33
  Speaker 2: is working with a black detective and they're like best buds.
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: And his girlfriend in the heat of the nine she
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: was African American.
• 32:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and so it was like, oh, wait a minute,
• 32:42
  Speaker 2: that's not Archie Bunker. That's Carol O'Connor the actor. And
• 32:45
  Speaker 2: what an actor he is.
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: I can tell you being in the South in the eighties,
• 32:49
  Speaker 1: we needed to see that. Yeah, yes, we needed that.
• 32:53
  Speaker 1: We needed that poke, and I'm sure a lot of
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: people didn't like it, but I can appreciate it and
• 32:59
  Speaker 1: thank you for doing in that, Carol O'Connor.
• 33:02
  Speaker 2: Another nominee was mister Sam Elliott. Okay, the mustache my
• 33:06
  Speaker 2: other regrets? Really, yes, because you found some pictures that
• 33:10
  Speaker 2: maybe he wasn't.
• 33:11
  Speaker 1: He's just too ruggedly handsome to be in this group.
• 33:16
  Speaker 2: There's nothing to do with looking middle eggs.
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: I don't care, I can't, I don't have words. It's he.
• 33:25
  Speaker 1: I don't know that it was the right call.
• 33:27
  Speaker 2: It was the right call. You sure he's been gray
• 33:29
  Speaker 2: haired in a gray mustache for the last forty years
• 33:33
  Speaker 2: or more?
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 33:35
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna make you go back and watch Tombstone again,
• 33:38
  Speaker 2: A because I love Tombstone and B because that movie
• 33:42
  Speaker 2: was thirty four years ago and he looked like an
• 33:45
  Speaker 2: old man.
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: Then did we talk about that? Sam Elliott was the
• 33:53
  Speaker 1: iconic voice of Smoking the Bear.
• 33:56
  Speaker 2: Was he? No? I don't know that we did. I
• 33:58
  Speaker 2: don't think I realized that.
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: Isn't that crazy?
• 34:01
  Speaker 2: That is crazy?
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: For fifteen years he was the voice of Smoky Bear.
• 34:06
  Speaker 2: Was that give a hoot, don't pollute. Do you remember
• 34:10
  Speaker 2: they were show us or is that only you can
• 34:11
  Speaker 2: prevent forest fires?
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: Yeah? That might have been that, But do you remember
• 34:15
  Speaker 1: it would show us the short little like grainy videos
• 34:19
  Speaker 1: about Smoky the Bear. Yeah, don't pollute or whatever.
• 34:22
  Speaker 2: No, it was it was forest fires.
• 34:24
  Speaker 1: Yeah, they stressed me out.
• 34:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah. It was like, hey, this guy just puffed on
• 34:28
  Speaker 2: a lung dart and then didn't put it out with
• 34:30
  Speaker 2: his boot. Instead, he just flicked it into the dry
• 34:32
  Speaker 2: leaves over here, and now half the year's oxygen's gonna
• 34:36
  Speaker 2: burn away because lung dart didn't put out a cigarette.
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: Which is what my dad did one hundred times a day.
• 34:42
  Speaker 1: So I was like, oh my gosh, my dad's gonna
• 34:45
  Speaker 1: kill all this wild life and burn half the country down.
• 34:48
  Speaker 1: It was horrible.
• 34:49
  Speaker 2: So I don't think I knew that Sam Elliott was
• 34:50
  Speaker 2: smoking the bear. I will say this, like I said
• 34:53
  Speaker 2: he was in Tombstone thirty four years ago. He looked
• 34:55
  Speaker 2: like an old man. Then he was supposed to be
• 34:58
  Speaker 2: Kurt Russell's brother, and he looked more like Kurt Russell's dad.
• 35:04
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, I don't disagree, So he belongs in there.
• 35:08
  Speaker 2: Okay, wasn't he in the mask? Was cher?
• 35:13
  Speaker 1: I think?
• 35:13
  Speaker 3: So?
• 35:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah? He was old looking then too. I was like,
• 35:16
  Speaker 2: why is young cher Dayton or Grandpa? Oh my gosh?
• 35:21
  Speaker 2: All right, h next was one that you like laughed
• 35:25
  Speaker 2: and then instantly let him in, mister Danny DeVito.
• 35:28
  Speaker 1: I stand by it. He's got to be there.
• 35:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he absolutely has to. He looked old and taxi
• 35:34
  Speaker 2: and that was almost fifty years ago. Yes, yes, almost
• 35:37
  Speaker 2: fifty years ago. He looked old.
• 35:38
  Speaker 1: Uh.
• 35:39
  Speaker 2: Steve Martin the most obvious one of all time that
• 35:43
  Speaker 2: I never even thought of. Yep, right, so that was
• 35:46
  Speaker 2: nominated by James from Bad Movies Rule Steve Martin In
• 35:49
  Speaker 2: a lot of eighty stuff.
• 35:51
  Speaker 1: So absolutely, Steve Martin needs to be here. But I
• 35:54
  Speaker 1: also want to point out how spry he is for
• 35:58
  Speaker 1: his age.
• 35:58
  Speaker 2: He still is, Yeah, I mean he he's still fantastic.
• 36:01
  Speaker 2: We watch Only Murders in the Building on Hulu. Yeah,
• 36:04
  Speaker 2: and he's still fantastic. He still gets around well.
• 36:06
  Speaker 1: He picks his banjo. He's talented.
• 36:08
  Speaker 2: Absolutely. So what's your favorite Steve Martin movie? I think
• 36:14
  Speaker 2: it's got to be Father of the Bride. Yeah. I
• 36:17
  Speaker 2: kind of thought you were going, but I love.
• 36:18
  Speaker 1: The Martins, you know, and Martin Short is in Father
• 36:22
  Speaker 1: of the Bride.
• 36:23
  Speaker 2: I think I probably go with planes, trains, and automobiles.
• 36:27
  Speaker 2: But there, it's close.
• 36:28
  Speaker 1: That's a good one.
• 36:29
  Speaker 2: It's close, all right. And then we had three people
• 36:33
  Speaker 2: you said no to. You said no. I introduced Robert
• 36:38
  Speaker 2: Devall and you said no.
• 36:39
  Speaker 1: I may have messed that one up.
• 36:40
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I feel like you did, but possibly you can't
• 36:43
  Speaker 2: go back and change it. You can't go back and
• 36:45
  Speaker 2: change it. And then poor Brad introduced Larry David and
• 36:48
  Speaker 2: you said no, And I kind of feel like you
• 36:50
  Speaker 2: messed that one up to.
• 36:51
  Speaker 1: You stand by that one.
• 36:53
  Speaker 2: And then Red Fox you said no, And I do
• 36:56
  Speaker 2: stand by that one. I've seen way too many pictures
• 36:58
  Speaker 2: of him being young. He was just old when we
• 37:01
  Speaker 2: were kids, and so everybody assumes that Red Fox has
• 37:04
  Speaker 2: always been middle aged, but he hasn't. But I do
• 37:07
  Speaker 2: disagree with you on Robert Duval, and I do disagree
• 37:13
  Speaker 2: with you on Larry David. We watched Seinfeld almost every night.
• 37:18
  Speaker 1: Now. I love Seinfeld, listen. I mean, he is a genius,
• 37:22
  Speaker 1: but he doesn't belong in the Hall of fame. Red Fox,
• 37:25
  Speaker 1: also a genius, doesn't belong there. Robert duval enacting genius
• 37:29
  Speaker 1: and Academy Award winner, possibly shouldn't have been there.
• 37:33
  Speaker 2: He was in so many good movies. A movie we
• 37:37
  Speaker 2: watch every Christmas. What do we watch for Christmases? Yeah?
• 37:42
  Speaker 2: He was in that. He was great, in that, he
• 37:44
  Speaker 2: was great, The Godfather he was, He's great and just
• 37:48
  Speaker 2: about everything agreed. All right, So this brings us to
• 37:55
  Speaker 2: today's nominees. I have a s. Morgas board on the
• 38:00
  Speaker 2: edge of my seat. I thought you might be, so
• 38:04
  Speaker 2: I have at least six nominees here. Really, we're not
• 38:11
  Speaker 2: going to do this rapid fire.
• 38:12
  Speaker 1: Oh we are not.
• 38:13
  Speaker 2: We are not. We are going to talk about these
• 38:15
  Speaker 2: gentlemen and consider it. Maybe you have to look up
• 38:18
  Speaker 2: pictures or whatever. But my first nomination is the hit
• 38:24
  Speaker 2: King himself, mister Pete.
• 38:28
  Speaker 1: Rosett the hit Man Herd.
• 38:30
  Speaker 2: No, that's the hit man, not the hit King, the
• 38:33
  Speaker 2: man with the most base hits in Major League Baseball history,
• 38:36
  Speaker 2: mister Pete Rose. Now I showed you a picture of
• 38:40
  Speaker 2: him from his rookie year in nineteen sixty three.
• 38:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he looked kind of like he was forty in
• 38:46
  Speaker 1: that picture. Yes, is something about his size and is
• 38:52
  Speaker 1: I mean, I see it, I let him in.
• 38:55
  Speaker 2: Pete Rose is in. Good job. Mister Pete Rose, you
• 39:03
  Speaker 2: may not be in the Baseball Hall of Fame, but
• 39:05
  Speaker 2: you are in our middle aged man hall of Fame.
• 39:08
  Speaker 2: Now let me talk about what Pete did in the eighties.
• 39:11
  Speaker 2: So he started in nineteen sixty three. He played with
• 39:14
  Speaker 2: the Reds until nineteen seventy eight. They didn't want him
• 39:19
  Speaker 2: more than one year contract and he wanted to sign
• 39:21
  Speaker 2: a big free agent contract, so the Phillies signed him
• 39:25
  Speaker 2: for four years plus an option. He would go on
• 39:27
  Speaker 2: to win a World Series with the Phillies in nineteen eighty.
• 39:29
  Speaker 2: He had won two with the Reds in the seventies.
• 39:32
  Speaker 2: He would help the Phillies get over the hump in
• 39:34
  Speaker 2: the eighties, as they were so close in the late seventies.
• 39:38
  Speaker 2: And then he would actually, after he fulfilled his contract
• 39:42
  Speaker 2: with the Phillies, A lot of people forget this, he
• 39:44
  Speaker 2: would actually sign with the Expos And he played with
• 39:47
  Speaker 2: the Expos for three quarters of a season or so,
• 39:52
  Speaker 2: and then he got traded back to the Reds so
• 39:55
  Speaker 2: he could finish off his chase of Ty Cobb's record.
• 39:58
  Speaker 2: And as I mentioned before on this podcast, I saw
• 40:03
  Speaker 2: his four one hundred ninety second hit live on TV.
• 40:05
  Speaker 2: As I had come in from being outside with my
• 40:08
  Speaker 2: friends and came in to get a drink or used
• 40:11
  Speaker 2: a bathroom or whatever, and I knew that he was
• 40:14
  Speaker 2: chasing it. I knew the Cardinals were on, and I
• 40:15
  Speaker 2: knew they would cut into it if he came up
• 40:18
  Speaker 2: to bat. And sure enough, I walked into the living
• 40:20
  Speaker 2: room and that's about when they cut away to Pete
• 40:23
  Speaker 2: Rose coming up to bat against Eric Show.
• 40:24
  Speaker 1: So you remember that.
• 40:25
  Speaker 2: I remember that clear as day, September something, nineteen eighty five.
• 40:31
  Speaker 2: I want to say the eighteenth, but I'm not positive
• 40:33
  Speaker 2: on that.
• 40:34
  Speaker 1: So I remember mister Pete Rose more as a manager
• 40:38
  Speaker 1: than as a player.
• 40:39
  Speaker 2: Yes, so he was. He actually when he got traded
• 40:42
  Speaker 2: to the Reds at the end of eighty four to
• 40:45
  Speaker 2: chase down that record, they actually made him player manager,
• 40:48
  Speaker 2: which appealed to him because then he could be in
• 40:50
  Speaker 2: the lineup whenever he wanted to. That's interesting, right, he's
• 40:53
  Speaker 2: even the last player manager.
• 40:55
  Speaker 1: I was going to say, that's not anything they would
• 40:56
  Speaker 1: do today. I'm assumer No.
• 40:58
  Speaker 2: They did it a lot in like the twenties, threes
• 41:00
  Speaker 2: and then on. But he was the last one.
• 41:03
  Speaker 1: I have a question. Yes, why was he nicknamed Charlie.
• 41:07
  Speaker 2: Hustle because he played at one hundred and ten percent
• 41:12
  Speaker 2: every single play of every single game all season long,
• 41:16
  Speaker 2: and most guys don't do that because it's a long season,
• 41:18
  Speaker 2: one hundred and sixty two games.
• 41:19
  Speaker 1: But his name's not Charlie, I know, but I mean
• 41:23
  Speaker 1: Pete Hustle.
• 41:24
  Speaker 2: No, they just called him just Charlie Hustle. Maybe Charlie
• 41:28
  Speaker 2: was a popular name back in the day. I don't know.
• 41:30
  Speaker 1: All I know is okay, no, no, no, no, no no.
• 41:34
  Speaker 1: If that's what we're gonna start doing, then we all
• 41:38
  Speaker 1: as a society have to collectively agree on the name
• 41:43
  Speaker 1: that we use as the joke. Okay, So like it
• 41:46
  Speaker 1: can be Jack. If we're going to start going around
• 41:48
  Speaker 1: calling guys people Jack, Hey, listen, they're Jack.
• 41:51
  Speaker 2: Okay, So I want I want to ask you something.
• 41:53
  Speaker 1: It can be Jack Hustle.
• 41:54
  Speaker 2: I want to ask you something. Have you ever heard
• 41:57
  Speaker 2: of the phrase Joey bagadona? Yes, right, they just named
• 42:03
  Speaker 2: Joey bagg of donuts. They just named it Joey, right,
• 42:06
  Speaker 2: they didn't have to. Have you ever heard of a
• 42:09
  Speaker 2: lady who likes to complain called a Karen. Yes, nobody
• 42:12
  Speaker 2: asked Karen's if that was okay? So Charlie Hustle is
• 42:17
  Speaker 2: just fine if we can have Joey bag of donuts
• 42:20
  Speaker 2: and Karen the complainer or a Debbie Downer. You all
• 42:26
  Speaker 2: you picking up what I'm putting down? Yep, all right,
• 42:29
  Speaker 2: Pete Rose is in. Congratulations, Pete Uh. You can gamble
• 42:35
  Speaker 2: all you want in this Hall of Fame. I would
• 42:38
  Speaker 2: have gave ten to one odds that Lindsay would have
• 42:40
  Speaker 2: put you in. That's all I'm saying, Pete, all right.
• 42:43
  Speaker 2: Our next nominee is one mister Fred Rogers, Fred Rogers,
• 42:54
  Speaker 2: Mister Rogers neighborhoods in mister Rogers. Yes, now he did
• 42:58
  Speaker 2: look middle a when mister Rogers Neighborhood was on when
• 43:03
  Speaker 2: we were kids.
• 43:03
  Speaker 1: No, no, no, no no, he looked like an old man.
• 43:08
  Speaker 1: He looked past middle age. Who nominated Fred Rogers?
• 43:12
  Speaker 2: I'll tell you after you say yes or no. So look, no,
• 43:16
  Speaker 2: he looks middle aged there, that's when we watched mister Rogers.
• 43:19
  Speaker 2: Now what you have to do though, because he was
• 43:22
  Speaker 2: middle aged, then what you have to do is look
• 43:25
  Speaker 2: for older pictures when he was younger and see if
• 43:27
  Speaker 2: he looked middle.
• 43:28
  Speaker 1: Aged, and he kind of.
• 43:30
  Speaker 2: Did you think that guy right there looks middle aged?
• 43:35
  Speaker 1: I mean he looks weird.
• 43:37
  Speaker 2: Well, it's because it's an old picture. Give me one more,
• 43:40
  Speaker 2: all right, let me find one more for you. It's
• 43:46
  Speaker 2: a beautiful day in the neighborhood as I'm looking for
• 43:49
  Speaker 2: a picture of him being young. Of course he may
• 43:56
  Speaker 2: he may have only been twenty then, so that doesn't
• 43:58
  Speaker 2: really count.
• 43:59
  Speaker 1: I don't think so. Yeah, I don't think so. He's
• 44:02
  Speaker 1: not in.
• 44:03
  Speaker 2: He's not in. Oh my goodness, it's not a beautiful
• 44:08
  Speaker 2: day in the neighborhood, mister Rogers, at least not in
• 44:10
  Speaker 2: the Middle Aged Man Hall of Fame. I don't know
• 44:12
  Speaker 2: if that does a compliment for him or a or
• 44:15
  Speaker 2: a put down. So the last two people were nominated
• 44:20
  Speaker 2: by when mister deaf Dave.
• 44:22
  Speaker 1: Oh, okay, sorry, Daf. I don't know, mister Rogers. Something
• 44:28
  Speaker 1: just doesn't feel right there, Okay, I have to listen
• 44:31
  Speaker 1: to my gut.
• 44:33
  Speaker 2: So our next nominee is star or maybe co star
• 44:41
  Speaker 2: or one of the stars of your favorite show Growing
• 44:44
  Speaker 2: Up Highway to Heaven as well as Little House on
• 44:49
  Speaker 2: the Prairie. It is one mister Victor French always wearing
• 44:57
  Speaker 2: his Oakland A's ball cap on Highway to Heaven.
• 44:59
  Speaker 1: First off, you have to understand how much as a
• 45:03
  Speaker 1: child I despised Little House on the Prairie and Highway
• 45:08
  Speaker 1: to help.
• 45:08
  Speaker 2: See. That's so funny because I liked both of them.
• 45:14
  Speaker 1: I don't think just because he was hairy doesn't mean
• 45:16
  Speaker 1: he was middle aged.
• 45:19
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna need you to look up some pictures of him.
• 45:21
  Speaker 1: Okay, give me a moment. Wow.
• 45:29
  Speaker 2: So what I want you to do is given honest
• 45:32
  Speaker 2: assessment by putting away you're biased and your hatred for
• 45:36
  Speaker 2: Little House and for Highway to Heaven, and just look
• 45:40
  Speaker 2: at the man himself and tell me does he belong?
• 45:45
  Speaker 2: Has he always looked middle age? And does he belong
• 45:47
  Speaker 2: in the middle aged Man Hall of Fame? He's in,
• 45:50
  Speaker 2: Victor French is in. I'm happy to hear that because
• 45:54
  Speaker 2: that was sent in by our most loyal listeners listening
• 46:00
  Speaker 2: since day one, and your coworker, Miss Kelly Kelly.
• 46:06
  Speaker 1: Of course I should have known that Kelly is so smart.
• 46:12
  Speaker 1: Of course she would have come up with the perfect
• 46:14
  Speaker 1: middle aged man Hall of Fame recipient.
• 46:17
  Speaker 2: Right, all right, mister Victor French is in.
• 46:25
  Speaker 1: The bad thing is, though, I'm going to have to
• 46:29
  Speaker 1: answer to her tomorrow when she listens to the show
• 46:33
  Speaker 1: and says, wait, you don't you didn't like Little House
• 46:36
  Speaker 1: on the Prairie or Highway to Heaven, because I bet
• 46:39
  Speaker 1: she enjoyed both.
• 46:40
  Speaker 2: I think she needs to quizz you on it. I
• 46:41
  Speaker 2: think you need to have a good explanation for her. Okay,
• 46:47
  Speaker 2: our next nominee. This is the most out of the
• 46:50
  Speaker 2: blue one. But when I heard the name, I cracked up,
• 46:52
  Speaker 2: and I'm like, okay, yeah, I can see why you
• 46:54
  Speaker 2: said that one. Mister Danny Trejo.
• 47:03
  Speaker 1: He scares me.
• 47:05
  Speaker 2: I'm sure he does. That does not surprise me that he's.
• 47:07
  Speaker 1: Scared me, Sean, let me give me a second. Yeah,
• 47:11
  Speaker 1: this might be perfect, but I don't know. He's a
• 47:13
  Speaker 1: little scary machete himself. I think it was his hard
• 47:20
  Speaker 1: living life he lived when he was younger, because wasn't
• 47:23
  Speaker 1: he really in a gang at some point before he
• 47:27
  Speaker 1: got famous.
• 47:28
  Speaker 2: I don't know a whole lot about him here. He
• 47:30
  Speaker 2: is young, Okay, Like how young?
• 47:35
  Speaker 1: Though, I don't know.
• 47:36
  Speaker 2: Nineteen eighty so that's nineteen eighty, so let me see
• 47:38
  Speaker 2: how old he was in nineteen eighty, because that'll help you,
• 47:41
  Speaker 2: because he does look a little young there.
• 47:43
  Speaker 1: He was born in forty four, so.
• 47:45
  Speaker 2: That would have put him at thirty six in nineteen eighty.
• 47:50
  Speaker 1: I mean there again, it should he belong to the
• 47:53
  Speaker 1: middle aged man Hall of fame? Or is he just
• 47:56
  Speaker 1: an old man? He served time at both San Quentin
• 48:01
  Speaker 1: and Folesome before turning his life around, and he was
• 48:06
  Speaker 1: paroled in nineteen sixty nine, so basically he had lived
• 48:10
  Speaker 1: a life prior top. I think we gotta let him in.
• 48:16
  Speaker 2: You think we got a let Yeah?
• 48:17
  Speaker 1: I really think we've got to because I mean, first
• 48:21
  Speaker 1: of all, he'll hunt me down otherwise I don't want that.
• 48:25
  Speaker 1: Do you want that? Do you want to wake up
• 48:27
  Speaker 1: in the night and he's standing over us? I don't.
• 48:30
  Speaker 2: Wasn't he in breaking bad for a second?
• 48:32
  Speaker 1: Oh? I don't know. He has been married and divorced
• 48:39
  Speaker 1: four times, and he has had two long standing relationships
• 48:44
  Speaker 1: in addition to that. So he's a ladies man.
• 48:49
  Speaker 2: So Danny Trey Hill is in, is what you're saying
• 48:52
  Speaker 2: he's in? That was a bitted by my brother Matt.
• 49:02
  Speaker 1: Oh Matt Okay. July of twenty twenty one, he said
• 49:07
  Speaker 1: in a USA Today article. I've tried to make amends
• 49:10
  Speaker 1: with the women I've been involved with simply because it
• 49:13
  Speaker 1: wasn't their fault. I was broken. Oh wow, that takes
• 49:18
  Speaker 1: a very mature man.
• 49:20
  Speaker 2: It does. So there's not a lot of us out there.
• 49:22
  Speaker 1: No, okay, all right.
• 49:26
  Speaker 2: Our next nominee is the voice of the genre that
• 49:33
  Speaker 2: you hate the most?
• 49:35
  Speaker 1: What genre do I hate the most?
• 49:37
  Speaker 2: But he may deserve mentioned in the Middle Aged Man
• 49:44
  Speaker 2: Hall of Fame unless you can find pictures that doesn't
• 49:46
  Speaker 2: make them look middle aged. It is one mister Michael McDonald.
• 49:52
  Speaker 1: Oh gosh, what is wrong with you? Stop just because
• 49:58
  Speaker 1: you hate yacht rock?
• 49:59
  Speaker 2: You can no.
• 50:00
  Speaker 1: I cannot let him in. This is why if I
• 50:02
  Speaker 1: let him in, I'll always have to hear about him,
• 50:05
  Speaker 1: because we'll be recapping and talking about people write in
• 50:09
  Speaker 1: and be talking bringing up his name. I cannot do that.
• 50:13
  Speaker 1: I'm sorry.
• 50:17
  Speaker 2: I think I don't know. I think you might be
• 50:21
  Speaker 2: making a mistake here. So let me look, well, you
• 50:25
  Speaker 2: know what, what what do you think about that? Do
• 50:26
  Speaker 2: you think that looks middle aged? I think it kind
• 50:28
  Speaker 2: of does, actually kind of. So when was mister Michael
• 50:32
  Speaker 2: McDonald born? So he is seventy four so back then
• 50:34
  Speaker 2: he was about twenty twenty eight.
• 50:36
  Speaker 1: Oh no, stop trying to help out the case.
• 50:42
  Speaker 2: I don't think you can deny him. I don't think
• 50:43
  Speaker 2: I can allow you to deny him just because you
• 50:45
  Speaker 2: hate yea.
• 50:46
  Speaker 1: I mean, what are you going to do? Appeal?
• 50:48
  Speaker 2: I am, I'm appealing. So I want to see a
• 50:52
  Speaker 2: picture of Michael McDonald in nineteen eighty two. So this
• 50:58
  Speaker 2: is him on his nineteen eighty.
• 51:01
  Speaker 1: Okay, he's in. I want to add a clause.
• 51:10
  Speaker 2: That we don't talk about him.
• 51:11
  Speaker 1: He's never to be mentioned again.
• 51:13
  Speaker 2: No, Michael McDonald will be mentioned. He's the king of
• 51:15
  Speaker 2: the yacht rock And what a fool believes you don't
• 51:19
  Speaker 2: like that song?
• 51:20
  Speaker 1: No?
• 51:21
  Speaker 2: Oh my goodness, what is wrong with you?
• 51:24
  Speaker 1: A lot of things?
• 51:25
  Speaker 2: All right, our next nominee, there's another one. There's another one.
• 51:31
  Speaker 1: Who nominated Michael McDonald, my brother Mike.
• 51:34
  Speaker 2: Oh okay, all right, our next nominee is mister hansome himself,
• 51:40
  Speaker 2: mister Richard Gear.
• 51:44
  Speaker 1: That's controversial that.
• 51:46
  Speaker 2: I called him handsome, or that he's middle.
• 51:48
  Speaker 1: Aged, or that somebody nominated him for this position.
• 51:56
  Speaker 2: So Richard Gear was born in nineteen forty nine.
• 52:06
  Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, she's almost my mom's age.
• 52:08
  Speaker 2: So yeah, he's he's seventy six.
• 52:11
  Speaker 1: Now look at this, Look at this. Look at him.
• 52:16
  Speaker 2: So he's got gray hair there, but he kind of
• 52:17
  Speaker 2: looks young.
• 52:19
  Speaker 1: Look at him here.
• 52:22
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, So does that mean you're denying him?
• 52:25
  Speaker 1: He's denied.
• 52:28
  Speaker 2: After seeing those two pictures. I can't blame you, Richard
• 52:32
  Speaker 2: Gear Are you in the middle aged Man Hall of Fame?
• 52:43
  Speaker 2: All right, so we've got to build a new wing.
• 52:46
  Speaker 1: So who nominated mister.
• 52:48
  Speaker 2: Geez my brother mad again? Oh okay, so he likes
• 52:50
  Speaker 2: to just throw him out rapid fire. I love that,
• 52:54
  Speaker 2: all right? So we now we have one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, twelve, thirteen, fourteen,
• 53:03
  Speaker 2: fifteen sixteen, So we have eighteen people inducted into the
• 53:07
  Speaker 2: Hall of Fame. I think we're gonna have to make
• 53:09
  Speaker 2: a new wing. What do you think?
• 53:12
  Speaker 1: Probably because I think they're gonna start fighting.
• 53:15
  Speaker 2: And since we are building a new wing, what I.
• 53:20
  Speaker 1: Think they're gonna start fighting. And when they do, Danny
• 53:24
  Speaker 1: DeVito is going to be sitting on Pete Rose's shoulders.
• 53:28
  Speaker 2: I don't know what that means.
• 53:31
  Speaker 1: Well, because he's too little, he can't fight from the ground.
• 53:33
  Speaker 1: He's gonna have to get up on Pete Rose's shoulders
• 53:36
  Speaker 1: to start fighting.
• 53:37
  Speaker 2: I think they might be easier to knock over that way.
• 53:39
  Speaker 1: Maybe.
• 53:40
  Speaker 2: All right, since we're going to probably be building a
• 53:42
  Speaker 2: new wing, we have to make a decision here. Should
• 53:45
  Speaker 2: we build another wing called the ladies Wing for middle
• 53:50
  Speaker 2: aged looking women?
• 53:53
  Speaker 1: Simpatico, Daddy, simpatico.
• 53:55
  Speaker 2: Are you thinking the same thing?
• 53:57
  Speaker 1: Exact same thing?
• 53:59
  Speaker 2: Okay, because I did have a nomination.
• 54:02
  Speaker 1: Oh, it starts here, ladies in jails.
• 54:04
  Speaker 2: I'm going to have somebody nominate. Oh if you, if
• 54:08
  Speaker 2: you ever do a lady's wing, here we go.
• 54:10
  Speaker 1: Let's go do it. Come on, and it.
• 54:12
  Speaker 2: May have to be named after this person if you
• 54:14
  Speaker 2: let her in. The nominee is Carla Tortelli, herself, Danny
• 54:22
  Speaker 2: DeVito's wife, Ria Pearlman.
• 54:25
  Speaker 1: Ah, she is in.
• 54:31
  Speaker 2: Did she she needed longer? Applause because she's the first woman.
• 54:39
  Speaker 2: She broke her barrier. She did, she broke the barrier. Congratulations.
• 54:43
  Speaker 1: So the one thing she did not do, she did
• 54:46
  Speaker 1: not break through the glass ceiling.
• 54:48
  Speaker 2: No, no, neither her nor Danny DeVito did. They both
• 54:53
  Speaker 2: might be standing on Pete Rose's shoulders. Yes, all right,
• 54:57
  Speaker 2: So we have our first woman in and because of that,
• 55:00
  Speaker 2: so I wasn't going to nominate this person, but I
• 55:01
  Speaker 2: thought about her today. So, by the way, congratulations Brad,
• 55:06
  Speaker 2: you got your nomination in. That was his nomination after
• 55:09
  Speaker 2: we nominated Danny DeVito. He said, if you're ever going
• 55:11
  Speaker 2: to do a woman's wing, I want to nominate Reap Pearlman.
• 55:15
  Speaker 2: So I believe this lady. I believe you're gonna let
• 55:18
  Speaker 2: her into it. I believe Brad would be happy with
• 55:20
  Speaker 2: this nomination as well. I am nominating one Beatrice Arthur.
• 55:27
  Speaker 1: All one hundred percent. She's in.
• 55:35
  Speaker 2: I thought she might get in.
• 55:38
  Speaker 1: I love it absolutely.
• 55:40
  Speaker 2: Congratulations Reapeerlman and Beatrice Arthur as Lindsay likes to call
• 55:48
  Speaker 2: her as most of us like to call her, be
• 55:50
  Speaker 2: Arthur Dorothy from The Golden Girls or Maud if you
• 55:54
  Speaker 2: want to go back to the seventies where she still
• 55:56
  Speaker 2: looked middle aged.
• 55:57
  Speaker 1: So I will never forget watching Maud. Of course I'm
• 55:59
  Speaker 1: on watching it, you know, reruns or whatever. And the
• 56:03
  Speaker 1: episode where she finds out she's pregnant, and little Lens
• 56:06
  Speaker 1: was like, no, that's not it's not possible. I didn't
• 56:14
  Speaker 1: know exactly how that happened. You know, I wasn't there
• 56:17
  Speaker 1: yet in life, but I was like, oh sorry, sorry,
• 56:21
  Speaker 1: Maud not believable.
• 56:23
  Speaker 2: I never I have never watched a single second of Maud.
• 56:28
  Speaker 1: She was the counterpart to Archie Bunker. She was the
• 56:32
  Speaker 1: female and she went the other way in her politics
• 56:35
  Speaker 1: and her beliefs. But she was that kind of outspoken
• 56:39
  Speaker 1: and stuff.
• 56:40
  Speaker 2: So all right, so we have let in four new
• 56:45
  Speaker 2: men and opened up a new women's wing and led
• 56:48
  Speaker 2: in the first two women. So six people have been nominated.
• 56:52
  Speaker 2: I'm still gonna call it the middle aged man Hall
• 56:54
  Speaker 2: of Fame, all right, no political correctness here, It's the
• 56:57
  Speaker 2: middle aged man Hall of Fame with the women's wing.
• 57:00
  Speaker 2: Oh okay, because I don't have a song called middle
• 57:03
  Speaker 2: aged women or middle aged people.
• 57:07
  Speaker 1: Well, what's our band doing right now?
• 57:09
  Speaker 2: They're not doing that. I can tell you that they've
• 57:11
  Speaker 2: got better things to do.
• 57:12
  Speaker 1: I know, I may have to hire my own band. Uh.
• 57:16
  Speaker 2: So, what did you think about this episode?
• 57:19

• 57:22
  Speaker 1: recommendations or these nominations. It's so much fun. Like you
