• 0:14
  Matt: Oh, we can we just the community.
• 0:17
  Eric: Just we we we yeah the royal week.
• 0:20
  Eric: We concur.
• 0:21
  Matt: I'll tell you something that I find that interesting.
• 0:23
  Matt: Um uh because uh recently I I don't know, I I found myself thinking, wow, I am a good adapter.
• 0:34
  Matt: And that might come to uh as a surprise to many people, many critics of Matt Shay.
• 0:41
  Eric: Matthew, I will not lie.
• 0:43
  Eric: Uh I chopped down the cherry tree, and also that is a surprising statement to hear coming from you.
• 0:49
  Matt: Okay.
• 0:49
  Matt: Don't know what the cherry tree has anything to do with this, George, but um we'll we'll move right on.
• 0:54
  Matt: I say this because you see, recently, Eric, I uh Lindsay and I took a little day trip up to the Big Apple.
• 1:01
  Eric: Okay.
• 1:03
  Matt: New York City for any reason.
• 1:06
  Matt: Thank you for the clarification.
• 1:08
  Matt: Yes.
• 1:09
  Matt: I didn't mean to to to to lose anyone with my colloquialism.
• 1:13
  Matt: Yeah, whoa, whoa, whoa, Max.
• 1:16
  Matt: So the um, so we but this for the very first time, we took the Amtrak up the uh up the coast.
• 1:27
  Eric: You ballsy move in this in this environment in this economy, yes.
• 1:32
  Matt: Now, you and I both know that up until now, the the way to do a day trip, unless you're gonna drive, is to take a fucking bus.
• 1:41
  Matt: And you and I, and a Lindsay have taken the megabus.
• 1:44
  SPEAKER_03: Oh, yes.
• 1:45
  Matt: The trip from hell.
• 1:47
  Matt: Oh, yes.
• 1:48
  Matt: Because, like, honestly, I don't I'm not being melodramatic.
• 1:53
  Matt: You could die on a megabus.
• 1:55
  Matt: You could fucking the chances of death go up significantly when you step onto a megabus.
• 2:00
  Eric: Oh my god, dude.
• 2:01
  Eric: You were you you remember the fucking time uh I took the megabus up to New England and You got stranded.
• 2:07
  Eric: I got stranded, the fucking bus broke down and the driver abandoned us.
• 2:14
  Matt: Yeah, he's probably making like ten dollars.
• 2:16
  Eric: Yeah, I don't blame him.
• 2:18
  Matt: Yeah, but also your lives were in danger.
• 2:20
  Eric: Yeah.
• 2:21
  Matt: So we weren't gonna do that, okay?
• 2:23
  Matt: So we we decided to spring for the Amtrak, and in typical, uh, in uh our typical luck, the only train that is suffering delays is ArcTrain.
• 2:36
  Matt: Not even the trains behind ArcTrain.
• 2:38
  Matt: It literally doesn't make any sense.
• 2:40
  Matt: So we go Just yours.
• 2:41
  Matt: Yeah, just to so to boil down a longer story, we go to the station, we go up to the uh counter and say, Hey, is there anything you can do for us?
• 2:50
  Matt: And he, the nice man there, puts us on another train and he automatically upgrades us to business class.
• 2:59
  Matt: We were just gonna do coach, you know, try to save some some dough.
• 3:02
  Matt: Slum it up and coach.
• 3:04
  Matt: Slum it up and coach, not a problematic phrase at all.
• 3:07
  Matt: And so we we go to um we're both very white uh for the yeah, let's get all the disclaimers out of the way.
• 3:17
  Matt: Yeah, yeah.
• 3:17
  Matt: So anyway, then we take a closer look at that ticket, and we discover that not only have we been upgraded to business class, but in fact, we have been placed in the legendary, the illustrious quiet car.
• 3:35
  Matt: What I've heard so much tell.
• 3:38
  Matt: So the legend.
• 3:40
  Matt: The legend.
• 3:41
  Matt: Oh, the story's true.
• 3:43
  Matt: Well, let me tell you something.
• 3:44
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
• 3:44
  Matt: The stories are true.
• 3:45
  Matt: So we get so we get on the train and we find our seats amongst the quiet.
• 3:51
  Matt: And, you know, we sit down and the we, you know, we start our journey, and very, you know, immediately you notice that people are just like, hey, can you do that?
• 4:02
  Matt: You know, like very everything's hushed.
• 4:05
  Matt: It you almost feel like you can't talk, like you shouldn't even whisper.
• 4:09
  Matt: So, you know, we're we're we're rolling right along on the train, you see.
• 4:15
  Matt: And it's it's very nice.
• 4:17
  Matt: I got my book out, I'm reading this, and you know, it's probably like seven minutes into this train ride when some people come on board uh at like another stop, they sit in like the back couple seats of the quiet car, and they're just like laughing, they're just having a good time.
• 4:38
  Matt: And I, who have never been on an Amtrak before, let alone the quiet car, turn to Lindsay and say, Some people have no respect for the quiet car community.
• 4:52
  Eric: So wait, so Matt, just so I understand this, the story, the story of how adaptable you are, yeah, was that you got upgraded tickets to a better car.
• 5:03
  Eric: Yes, and then got to judge people who didn't know how the car worked.
• 5:08
  Matt: You got it.
• 5:08
  Matt: Yeah.
• 5:11
  Matt: Got it in one.
• 5:12
  Matt: Yeah.
• 5:12
  Matt: Oh shit.
• 5:13
  Matt: So what I what I'm saying is I'm flexible.
• 5:16
  Matt: You're so Matthew can I'm adaptable, baby.
• 5:20
  Eric: I don't want to say brave, but brave.
• 5:24
  Matt: I don't I don't know if you could even recognize me on account of me being a chameleon.
• 5:29
  Eric: I the fucking.
• 5:30
  Matt: Adapting to my surroundings.
• 5:48
  Matt: Well, hello there, and welcome to You didn't ask for this.
• 5:53
  Matt: I thought I'd throw I thought I'd mix it up a little bit.
• 5:55

• 5:56
  Matt: No, like I like that energy.
• 5:57
  Matt: Thank you.

• 6:21
  Matt: Oh.
• 6:22
  Matt: And we have some exciting plans for 5-0.
• 6:25
  Matt: But first, of a number of episodes ago, Eric, uh, we discussed uh a little a little film trilogy by the name of Back to the Future.
• 6:35
  Eric: You might have heard of it.
• 6:37
  Matt: You might have heard of it.
• 6:38
  Matt: You might have heard of it.
• 6:39
  Matt: It happens to be my favorite film.
• 6:43
  Eric: Cannot stress enough how much I can back that up.
• 6:46
  Matt: Yes.
• 6:47
  Matt: Yes.
• 6:48
  Eric: My my entire zeitgeist surrounding fucking Back to the Future.
• 6:52
  Eric: I am I'm uplifting, like I am the support beneath Matthew.
• 6:55
  Eric: I'm just like here.
• 6:56
  Matt: You're the wind beneath my wings.
• 6:57
  Eric: Yeah, I really, I really am.

• 7:02
  Matt: Fusion.
• 7:02
  Eric: Yes.
• 7:03
  Eric: Yes.
• 7:04
  Matt: So the and so I we mentioned this in passing, and we ended up uh uh seeing if you could be a member of the Back to the Future community.
• 7:14
  Eric: Yes, and you quizzed me.
• 7:15
  Matt: I did, I quizzed you and you did okay.
• 7:20
  Eric: Oh yeah, yeah.
• 7:24
  Matt: I mean, you did okay.
• 7:26
  Eric: I would have said knocked it out of the fucking park, but I wasn't.
• 7:29
  Matt: Yeah, no, I wouldn't have said that.
• 7:31
  Matt: No, no, no.
• 7:33
  Eric: Wait, 1.21 giga.
• 7:36
  Eric: What the fuck did you just say to me?
• 7:39
  Matt: Solid joke, solid joke to open the show.
• 7:42
  Matt: Thank you.
• 7:42
  Matt: Um, but this prompted us to receive a back to the future question.
• 7:48
  Matt: So then we went ahead and said, hey, we'll make a thing of it.
• 7:52
  Matt: Give us all you got, give us all those time travel-based questions.
• 7:58
  Matt: Tell me what you think is uh is a so-called plot hole, you know.
• 8:04
  Eric: I hope you all just felt the wind generated by Matt's middle and index fingers on both hands.
• 8:10
  Eric: He air quoted so fucking hard.
• 8:13
  Matt: I also did it around the mic as if that would make any difference whatsoever.
• 8:17
  Matt: So we have these, so we do, we have some questions from a a group of people, but you know, one of them, Eric, yeah, one of them struck me as particularly interesting.
• 8:29
  Matt: And I I you know, he submitted a couple, so we're we're gonna we're gonna throw a couple here.
• 8:34
  Matt: The first of these two that get come from good friend of the pod.
• 8:38
  Eric: Good, like, and and guys, we cannot stress this enough.
• 8:42
  Eric: A good, good friend, someone we respect.
• 8:46
  Matt: At Zach Deuce on Twitter, Zachy D.
• 8:50
  Matt: He asked the following question, Eric.
• 8:52
  Matt: How did Marty's dad originally win over slash hook up with Marty's mom?
• 9:00
  Matt: Or is it a time paradox?
• 9:03
  Matt: And Marty has always been doing this in the timeline.
• 9:08
  Eric: Now, Zachy D, question asker for me.
• 9:11
  Eric: Yeah, like I I kind of want to answer his question with another question, Matt.
• 9:15
  Eric: And yeah, me too.
• 9:17
  Matt: I bet we have the same question.
• 9:19
  Eric: Zach E D, have you ever seen um oh what the fuck's it called?
• 9:24
  Eric: Oh, back to the future?
• 9:26
  Eric: Yeah, like the first fucking 10 minutes of the fucking movie?
• 9:31
  Matt: This gets answered immediately.
• 9:34
  Matt: It's answered immediately, and like I didn't think, Eric, that we needed to do like a synopsis.
• 9:41
  Eric: Oh no, I can see the sweat beating on your forehead.
• 9:44
  Eric: Are you are you about to synopsize?
• 9:48
  Matt: Do you think I do you think I need to?
• 9:51
  Matt: I mean, I thought I thought the basic plot of this trilogy was like basically universal knowledge, but Zach Deuce coming in here with a very intelligent man, which we have to point out, coming in here with this question that is answered at the dinner scene when Lorraine, Marty's mother, says, in no uncertain terms, uh, that what happened is her dad, her dad, hit George McFly, Marty's dad, with the car.
• 10:23
  Matt: What was it, George?
• 10:24
  Matt: Bird watching.
• 10:26
  Matt: He was peeping into another window, as we all know.
• 10:29
  Matt: He gets hit by the car, she takes care of him, the Florence Nightingale effect falls into place.
• 10:35
  Matt: They go to the enchantment under the sea dance, they kiss during Earth Angel, and a little on down the line, Marty and his siblings were conceived.
• 10:45
  Matt: We know this.
• 10:46
  Matt: Yeah.
• 10:46
  Matt: And then what happens, Matt?
• 10:48
  Matt: And then, well, so uh in the dinner scene, George says, What, Lorraine?
• 10:54
  Matt: What?
• 10:54
  Matt: And then he's watching the honeymooners and and lets out that famous God, I know.
• 11:02
  Eric: He did the head thing too, for anyone curious.
• 11:05
  Eric: He did the head thing.
• 11:06
  Matt: Yes, of course I did the head thing.
• 11:08
  Matt: So that Zach Ju's, that's those are just facts.
• 11:11
  Matt: That's canon.
• 11:12
  Matt: That's okay.
• 11:13
  Matt: And it's very basic, and it's very early on in the movie, and I didn't think I'd have to do this sort of left heavy lifting.
• 11:19
  Eric: And then what happened, Matt?
• 11:22
  Matt: Do you really want me to like provide a synopsis?
• 11:25
  Eric: Only if you're feeling it.
• 11:26
  Matt: I don't know.
• 11:27
  Matt: I I I mean, I could fucking give you the whole screenplay.
• 11:30
  Eric: So kid almost fucks his mom but doesn't.
• 11:33
  Matt: They come nowhere close to fucking.
• 11:35
  Eric: No, second movie is that kid making sure that everything lines up so that he can almost but not actually fuck his mom and then get born of it.
• 11:44
  Eric: And then the third one is him traveling to a time, cowboys, where fucking your mom really wasn't that big of a deal.
• 11:50
  Eric: I'm getting upset.
• 11:51
  Matt: I'm getting triggered.
• 11:52
  Matt: Uh I'm getting I'm getting red.
• 11:54
  Matt: I'm getting I am getting hot under the collar.
• 12:00
  Matt: Um, so anyway, there you go, Zach Deuce.
• 12:03
  Matt: Thank you for the question.
• 12:04
  Matt: Watch the movie.
• 12:06
  Matt: Um, Zach ED.
• 12:09
  Matt: So, why don't we go to a question from the one and only at Dairy King 11?
• 12:16
  Eric: Oh, hail the king, baby.
• 12:19
  Matt: Oh, hail the king, baby.
• 12:20
  Eric: Sorry boy Dairy King.
• 12:22
  Matt: Yes, give it to us.
• 12:23
  Eric: He asks.
• 12:24
  Eric: Uh, why doesn't Marty's parents recognize him when he grows up looking just like their high school friend, quote, Calvin Klein, end quote.
• 12:38
  Matt: They are under the impression that Marty's name is Calvin Klein because it's written all over your underwear.
• 12:44
  Matt: Uh because she, for some reason, in caring for him, removed his pants and put them on her hope chest.
• 12:52
  Eric: When his mother undressed him.
• 12:54
  Matt: Yes, when his mother undressed him.
• 12:55
  Eric: In the biblical sense.
• 12:57
  Matt: Lustily.
• 12:58
  Matt: Um so yes, they think his name is Calvin Klein.
• 13:03
  Matt: And this is not a new question facing the back to the future community.
• 13:09
  Eric: No, this is like kind of the biggest, like for even for me personally, this is like the big one.
• 13:16
  Matt: People like to point to this question as being the biggest quote unquote plot hole of back to the future.
• 13:27
  Matt: And I have to say, hogwash.
• 13:32
  Matt: Oh.
• 13:33
  Matt: Hogwash, I say.
• 13:35
  Eric: Oh, we have, please let the record reflect.
• 13:38
  Eric: We have declared hogwash.
• 13:40
  Matt: Uh uh a plot hole in this film that's about as funny as a screen door on a battleship.
• 13:48
  Matt: Nice.
• 13:49
  SPEAKER_01: You're not gonna finish it, really?
• 13:52
  Eric: Uh uh.
• 13:53
  Eric: Screen door on a submarine.
• 13:55
  Eric: You dork.
• 13:56
  Eric: Uh oh man.
• 13:57
  Eric: Uh yeah, there you go.
• 13:58
  Eric: It's alright.
• 13:58
  Eric: I'm I'm here to pick up the pieces.
• 14:00
  Eric: He's gonna be biff shaming me the whole episode.
• 14:02
  Eric: I told you I know the screen pieces.
• 14:05
  Eric: I want to be clear with everyone at home right now.
• 14:07
  Eric: This is a Matt episode.
• 14:08
  Eric: I am for the ride.
• 14:10
  Eric: I am I am Einstein right now.
• 14:12
  Matt: No, that is not true.
• 14:14
  Matt: You you and I are our partnership, and we are in this together.
• 14:19
  Matt: That means a lot to me.
• 14:20
  Matt: It is not my fault that I have an encyclopedic knowledge of this trilogy.
• 14:25
  Matt: I haven't yet, I haven't even pulled up Futuropedia yet.
• 14:28
  SPEAKER_05: Oh my god.
• 14:30
  Matt: But I will if necessary.
• 14:31
  Matt: Okay.
• 14:32
  Matt: But I don't need it for my first point.
• 14:35
  Eric: Okay.
• 14:36
  Eric: What is this first point about the Calvin Klein quote unquote plot hole?
• 14:40
  Matt: Well, do you remember the date that Marty arrives in 1955?
• 14:45
  Eric: Uh uh-uh-uh.
• 14:46
  Eric: Wait, wait, which date specifically are we talking about?
• 14:48
  Eric: Not like the the the event that happened on that day?
• 14:51
  Matt: It is the day that Doc invented time travel, and it is the time that the day and time that Marty arrives in 1955.
• 15:02
  Eric: October November 22nd, 1955.
• 15:08
  Matt: No, also wrong.
• 15:09
  Matt: Fuck! It's November 5th, 1955.
• 15:14
  Matt: This is when Doc slipped off his toilet while hanging a clock, and when he came to, he had a vision, a picture in his head of the flux capacitor.
• 15:23
  Matt: Yep.
• 15:24
  Matt: Uh, and it is this time that he absentmindedly puts into the time circuits, and Marty arrives in 1955.
• 15:32
  Matt: This is when our time travel begins.
• 15:35
  Matt: Now, I also mentioned that the clock tower gets struck by lightning, I believe, 10.04 p.m.
• 15:43
  Matt: on November 12th, 1955.
• 15:49
  Matt: Now, it is not until, let's say, he goes, so he goes to Lou's Cafe, he gets his little breakfast, he orders a Pepsi free.
• 15:58
  Matt: If you want a Pepsi pal, you're gonna pay for it.
• 16:00
  Matt: And what's with the life preserver?
• 16:03
  Matt: What's with the life preserver?
• 16:05
  Matt: Also, I don't know why uh like uh a Brooklyn delicatessen is operating in Hill Valley, California in 1955, but here we are.
• 16:15
  Eric: Here we are.
• 16:17
  Matt: So uh all of that to say uh if he gets hit by the car, let's say, but you know, by the time he it's daylight, by the time he gets hit by the car, it's breakfast time, let's say he's out for an hour or two, it's like 10 a.m.
• 16:32
  Matt: maybe.
• 16:32
  Matt: Or noon.
• 16:33
  Matt: We could say noon.
• 16:35
  Matt: I'd say at best, it's like 10 o'clock that he gets hit by the car and then comes to an hour or two later.
• 16:42
  Matt: And that is the first time that Lorraine Baines encounters the uh the entity known as Calvin Klein.
• 16:54
  Matt: Yep.
• 16:55
  Matt: Eric, yes, one week, one week of time does Calvin Klein exist in the lives of George McFly and Lorraine Baines.
• 17:11
  Matt: And during that time frame, during that week, it isn't even a complete, like they're attached at the hip.
• 17:18
  Matt: There's like full 24-hour periods throughout this week that they don't see one another.
• 17:25
  Eric: They call them days.
• 17:30
  Matt: You know what I'm saying though.
• 17:32
  Eric: But I know, yeah, no, like they see him like collectively, they probably interact with him less than 24 hours over the period of that week.
• 17:40
  Matt: Absolutely they do, absolutely they do.
• 17:43
  Eric: And I actually never thought of yeah, they they knew this shithead for a week.
• 17:47
  Eric: They were teenagers in high school.
• 17:49
  Matt: So that and then when Marty aging from a baby to his current form, yeah.
• 17:58
  Matt: That by the time that happens, by the time he actually reaches what he actually physically looked like as Calvin Klein, it has been thirty years since this week-long period where they knew a guy in high school that Lorraine kissed one fucking time.
• 18:21
  Matt: Yep.
• 18:23
  Matt: As Calvin Klein.
• 18:24
  Matt: You're telling me you have a picture perfect memory of what this guy looks like, as opposed to the child who you've watched slowly age every day of your life.
• 18:36
  Eric: Yeah, no, that's fair.
• 18:37
  Eric: And also, like, I don't think at any point, even at the end of the movie, like when he comes back, he's back to the present, and like everyone's great, you know, his dad's a successful author now, and like you know, thanks to him, I might uh Biff is washing their fucking truck.
• 18:55
  Eric: They don't mention Calvin Klein at all.
• 18:58
  Eric: Like, right?
• 18:59
  Eric: Like, like there's not even a throwaway to like they're like, oh yeah, it reminds me of when we fell in love.
• 19:04
  Eric: Oh, you remember Calvin Klein?
• 19:06
  Eric: Yeah, whatever happened to that guy, because they don't fucking remember.
• 19:09
  Matt: They don't remember him.
• 19:10
  Matt: They won't remember because what more importantly h and he he might be part of the story, right?
• 19:17
  Matt: They might now say that same story I related.
• 19:20
  Matt: You know, what was it, George?
• 19:22
  Matt: Bird watching.
• 19:23
  Matt: They are just gonna say, and there was this guy, Calvin Klein.
• 19:29
  Matt: Can you believe that's his name?
• 19:31
  Matt: You know what I mean?
• 19:32
  Matt: Yeah, and they might actually think it's Calvin Klein, for all I know.
• 19:37
  Eric: We went to school with Calvin Klein.
• 19:40
  Eric: Holy shit.
• 19:40
  Eric: Oh, look, Calvin's doing so good for himself.
• 19:43
  Eric: He finally went, like, took off with his underwear, maybe.
• 19:46
  Eric: Maybe.
• 19:46
  Matt: Yeah, he doesn't look anything like he did when he was 18, but no, he doesn't need to.
• 19:51
  Matt: He doesn't need to.
• 19:53
  Eric: Yeah, no, that that's completely fucking fair.
• 19:56
  Matt: I've never viewed this as a plot hole because to me, it's common sense.
• 20:01
  Matt: I I just don't see that you're gonna have they have no pictures of this guy.
• 20:08
  Matt: They have they have nothing but their memories from 30 years ago of what this guy looked like.
• 20:15
  Matt: And to me, I don't think uh, you know, we don't we can't go back 30 years just yet to our to our memories.
• 20:23
  Matt: But I would even 15 some guy I knew for a week 15 years ago, I couldn't tell you exactly what they look like.
• 20:34
  Eric: I'm getting at the point now where I I I'll I'll run into people like you know I knew in high school, or like, but they have to tell me they knew me in high school, like like, oh yeah, we went to high school the other we said.
• 20:45
  Eric: I'm like, I'm taking your word for it, homie.
• 20:47
  Eric: Yeah, like kind of have to.
• 20:50
  Matt: Sure.
• 20:50
  Matt: I mean, there and you know, I had a moment the other day when I was on someone from high school's Facebook, and I was like, I would not recognize them if they came up to me.
• 21:00
  Matt: They look not a thing like they looked like in high school, you know.
• 21:05
  Matt: So I I hear you on that one for sure.
• 21:09
  Matt: So I I j Derry King, 11th, 11th of his name.
• 21:14
  Matt: I just don't, I just do not think they would remember.
• 21:20
  Eric: No, it just wasn't that important.
• 21:22
  Matt: They'd remember Calvin Klein.
• 21:24
  Matt: I'm not trying to say they wouldn't remember Calvin Klein.
• 21:28
  Eric: But let but like let's talk about what else happened around that time.
• 21:32
  Eric: Fucking George McFly decked Biff Tannan, his childhood like tormentor, fucking got to make out with Lorraine Baines and fucking and apparently, if if lore is to be believed, became class president shortly after that.
• 21:52
  Eric: Absolutely.
• 21:52
  Eric: He did all these things.
• 21:54
  Eric: It's implied that he became class president after that, because someone's like, he should run for class president.
• 21:59
  Matt: He's he's He's a he becomes very successful.
• 22:03
  Matt: He's a rich cuckshire man now in his 40s or whatever, 50s, and a best uh a novelist, uh a successful fantasy novelist of a book that looks sci-fi very bad.
• 22:18
  Matt: You're right, it is sci-fi.
• 22:20
  Eric: It does look very bad.
• 22:21
  Matt: It does look bad.
• 22:22
  Matt: Uh, but nevertheless, he he he he becomes a whole new man for the better.
• 22:28
  Matt: And Biff, that high school bully, is still washing his fucking car.
• 22:34
  Eric: Now, Matt, I will listeners, you can't see it.
• 22:38
  Eric: I am wagging my finger.
• 22:39
  Matt: Yes, he is wagging a finger in a manner I am concerned about.
• 22:43
  Eric: I would say, compared to Biff, we saw in the original timeline, right?
• 22:49
  Eric: At the beginning of the movie, where he's like just wrecked George's car because he was drinking and driving and is clearly like fucked up.
• 22:58
  Eric: Now, though, in the new timeline, kind of seems like he's more well adjusted.
• 23:04
  Eric: Like, it seems like he had that kind of had to get his ass kicked thing, you know what I mean?
• 23:10
  Eric: And now he's all like, oh hey, Marty, how I know, yeah, I'll just go ahead.
• 23:14
  Matt: Like, well, that is a good impression of the first time we see Biff in the new the new Biff.
• 23:21
  Matt: In the new the new new Biff.
• 23:24
  Matt: But, and this is getting into a question that we're gonna deal with in a minute here.
• 23:29
  Matt: The uh the important thing is in the beginning of Back to the Future 2, when Biff comes back outside to be like, hey Marty, Marty, I got these stickers for the truck, and they're taking off in the DeLorean that's now flying away.
• 23:45
  Matt: He goes full-on regular Biff voice with what the hell is going on here?
• 23:52
  Matt: And I have always interpreted this to be that Biff has turned into a little fucking brown nose and piece of shit.
• 24:00
  Eric: You know, he's he there is also the scene where like where like fucking Marty comes back into the garage and like Biff is like, watch it, budhead! And and fucking Marty's like, whoa, Biff, like he's gonna fucking do anything about it.
• 24:12
  Eric: And then but then he's like, oh hey, Marty! Oh, didn't re didn't see you there, Marty.
• 24:16
  Eric: Sorry, and then I will say this, he at least respects boundaries a lot better in this alternate timeline because fear is a healthy motivator.
• 24:23
  Matt: But it is that same Biff that grows even older to the very distant future of 2015.
• 24:30
  Matt: That that same changed biff who's still uh detailing cars is now this gr he's back to his fucking gruff name with a cane with a fist on it.
• 24:42
  Eric: I want I want that cane for you so badly.
• 24:45
  Matt: If I ever have to walk with a cane, you know I'm getting that cane.
• 24:49
  Eric: Uh, you have to get it.
• 24:50
  Matt: I will have Biff's cane, without a doubt.
• 24:52
  Matt: The authentic one.
• 24:53
  Eric: The authentic.
• 24:54
  Eric: You will buy it off of Tom.
• 24:57
  Matt: I will, I will find, I will find it in whatever corner of Universal's storage units it's in.
• 25:05
  Eric: Also, folks, I just want to get this out of the way right now.
• 25:08
  Eric: We're probably gonna talk a lot of shit about Biff on this episode, but I do want to be clear, Tom Wilson, Thomas F.
• 25:15
  Eric: Wilson, who plays Biff, is a goddamn treasure.
• 25:19
  Eric: Thomas F.
• 25:20
  Matt: Wilson.
• 25:21
  Matt: I fucking can't say he first of all, he plays the shit out of three different characters in this film.
• 25:28
  Matt: He's so he he's very good.
• 25:31
  Matt: He's been in many other things.
• 25:33
  Eric: He's been found characters.
• 25:35
  Matt: Yeah, uh you know what?
• 25:36
  Matt: Can you name them all?
• 25:37
  Matt: You're absolutely right.
• 25:38
  Eric: Yep.
• 25:38
  Eric: Uh Young Biff, middle-aged biff.
• 25:41
  Matt: Yeah, if you're splitting the biffs.
• 25:42
  Matt: Uh if you're splitting the biffs, there's more.
• 25:45
  Eric: Uh uh, well, I I'm not gonna time like I'm gonna go like age-wise, we get a young biff, we get a middle-aged biff, we get an old biff, and then we get Buford Tannin.
• 25:55
  Matt: Oh, so you didn't even know the obvious one of he also plays Griff Tannin.
• 26:00
  Eric: Oh, fuck, yeah, fucking Griff Tannon from the sorry, from the fucking future.
• 26:03
  Matt: Yeah, so I was gonna say if you're gonna split them up, if you're gonna split the ages of Biff up, there's five.
• 26:09
  Matt: Okay.
• 26:10
  Matt: Uh but uh I was just going with Biff, Buford Mad Dog Tannon and Griff.
• 26:15
  Matt: All that to say, Thomas F.
• 26:18
  Matt: Wilson, American Treasure.
• 26:20
  Matt: He's also uh he's also uh a small part on a show that nobody, not a lot of people remember, but it is a tenant of my whole maxuration.
• 26:33
  Matt: And that is the show Ed, about the bowling alley lawyer on NBC, ran for four seasons with Julie Bowen and Tom Kavanaugh before Modern Family and before uh uh whatever the the the DC show he's in now on the on the CW is.
• 26:50
  Eric: Uh Tom Wilson also it's still Thomas F.
• 26:53
  Matt: Wilson.
• 26:54
  Matt: It's very very pointedly Thomas F.
• 26:56
  Matt: Wilson.
• 26:57
  Eric: It's Thomas F.
• 26:58
  Eric: I thought it was just he just went by Tom Wilson.
• 27:00
  Eric: You dare question my knowledge of Thomas F.
• 27:04
  Eric: Wilson's sad name?
• 27:06
  Eric: Oh, I mean, his wicked his his fucking okay, I'm sorry.
• 27:11
  Eric: His website, TomWilsonusa.com, uh, his description, Tom Wilson, is an actor, artist, comedian, and writer who's been working in every aspect of popular culture for decades.
• 27:24
  Eric: Okay, the credits of the film Oh well not credit.
• 27:28
  Eric: I call the man by the name he chooses.
• 27:31
  Matt: Sure.
• 27:32
  Matt: But his sag name is Thomas Wilson.
• 27:36
  Eric: Just like I'm true naming him like he's a fucking demon.
• 27:40
  Eric: That's uh I have to.
• 27:42
  Eric: Okay, that's fair, that's fair.
• 27:44
  Matt: And you know what?
• 27:44
  Matt: Maybe if he is now going by Tom just Tom Wilson, then I, you know, I need to adjust to that.
• 27:53
  Matt: I need to adjust to that, and that's on me.
• 27:55
  Eric: But what I was getting at is Tom Wilson was also in a video game called Wing Commander 3, where he got to act alongside uh a little a little little you know B list actor you might know by the name of Mark Hamill.
• 28:11
  Matt: He's uh he's popped up in in in from things from time to time.
• 28:15
  Matt: I don't think we need to pretend like he's had an illustrious career like some of the other members of the cast.
• 28:22
  Eric: No, but he basically got to play Biff in space in that game.
• 28:26
  Matt: Also making a uh cameo appearance for I believe three episodes in season three of Ed is Leah Thompson.
• 28:33
  unknown: Oh.
• 28:33
  Matt: Well, back to the future connection there.
• 28:35
  Matt: Oh about that.
• 28:36
  Eric: Tom Wilson also fucking played, made several cameos on Spongebob.
• 28:41
  Matt: And you know, I I wouldn't ever recast Thomas F.
• 28:44
  Matt: Wilson as uh as Biff.
• 28:47
  Matt: But you know, can I I'm just gonna throw another name at you as someone who as someone who could have played.
• 28:56
  Eric: We're just passing on the street and a name is just gonna fall.
• 28:59
  Eric: A name is gonna fall.
• 29:00
  Eric: That's what I do with it.
• 29:01
  Matt: I invite you and our listeners to imagine an actor that we have already gushed about on this show, another character actor.
• 29:10
  Matt: Just imagine a world where Biff is played by the one and only Clancy Brown.
• 29:16
  Eric: Yes, yes, Clancy Brown playing.
• 29:20
  Matt: Can you imagine?
• 29:22
  Eric: Yes.
• 29:23
  Eric: You know what I always wondered?
• 29:24
  Eric: What would happen if Eric Stoltz played Marty?
• 29:27
  Matt: Have you seen the footage?
• 29:28
  Eric: I I have.
• 29:29
  Matt: Yes.
• 29:30
  Matt: Uh, in case you didn't know, uh Eric Stoltz uh was the original Marty McFly.
• 29:35
  Matt: They started shooting several scenes, uh, and Robert Zemeck is determined that it wasn't working.
• 29:41
  Matt: So they recast him as Michael J.
• 29:45
  Matt: Fox, baby.
• 29:47
  unknown: Yeah.
• 29:47
  Matt: Very good decision, Bob.
• 29:50
  Matt: So uh that now should we should we continue on, Eric?
• 29:54
  Matt: Oh, yeah.
• 29:54
  Eric: Let's just let us let us let us forge ahead.
• 29:58
  Matt: We actually kind of blended into what happened to old Biff in present day, and that also comes from at Zach Deuce.
• 30:08
  Matt: Now I'm a little confused.
• 30:09
  Matt: Uh I'm not sure how to interpret Zach's question because once again, Eric, present day, if you're talking about 1985, the present day of the of Marty's timeline, if you're talking about that, we know what happened to him.
• 30:26
  Matt: Yeah.
• 30:26
  Matt: We also know what happened to him in the multiverse.
• 30:28
  Matt: Yep.
• 30:29
  Eric: He became he became Donald Trump.
• 30:31
  Eric: Donald Trump.
• 30:32
  Eric: But I think because he specifically said old old Biff, I think he's asking what happened to old Biff once, once, you know, because old Biff went back in time with Gray's sports.
• 30:47
  Eric: Oh Mac.
• 30:49
  Eric: Uh, to make to turn young Biff into, you know, fucking uh uh fucking Donald Trump yeah, Donald Trump Biff, which I this is my fun.
• 30:58
  Eric: I I and I know you know this, but I'm gonna at least act surprised.
• 31:03
  Eric: Um, there was deleted footage that showed like after old Biff gave gave uh uh uh uh bit young Biff the the almanac and he flew back to the future, and then once you know, returning the DeLorean, so Marty and Doc can leave, uh, once they leave, that essentially closes the loop.
• 31:25
  Eric: He can't change anything now.
• 31:27
  Eric: And uh the deleted footage is him suddenly doubling over in pain and clutching at his heart at as he fades away.
• 31:34
  Eric: Because apparently, in the alternate timeline, uh you know, Donald Trump biff, Lorraine eventually shoots him in the fucking heart.
• 31:44
  Matt: Yeah, he just he just disappears.
• 31:48
  Matt: And that is the lore.
• 31:50
  Eric: Uh but yes, as you said, that is he never made it to old man once he made himself rich as a young guy.
• 31:56
  Matt: But none of that matters because Marty and Doc went back to the past uh in Back to the Future 2, corrected the mistake, recovered the almanac, and therefore he never became that.
• 32:10
  Matt: He went back to being what he was quote unquote supposed to be.
• 32:15
  Matt: The the brown nosing biff.
• 32:17
  Matt: Brown nosing biff, we'll call it.
• 32:19
  Eric: Yeah, allegedly, because we honestly don't at that point we don't know what their future looks like.
• 32:25
  Eric: Because if you remember at the end of fucking Back to the Future 3, you know, after they went to the old cowboy times, they also altered that fucking timeline, like the original Back to the Future 2 timeline, right?
• 32:37
  Eric: Of where Marty's like, yeah, where uh Marty is like working as like a fucking desk job and he gets fired.
• 32:46
  Eric: When Marty gets back uh from the past from the old cowboy times, you know, they mentioned offhand in Back to the Future 2, you know, uh uh uh uh Jen Jennifer overheard is like, oh, he wasn't the same since he got in that car accident.
• 33:01
  Eric: Tried he tried to race that Rolls Royce fucking Rolls and He didn't try to race the Rolls Royce.
• 33:07
  Eric: The Rolls-Royce He tried to race Flea.
• 33:10
  Eric: Well, yes.
• 33:11
  Eric: Was it Flea or was it fucking um Needles?
• 33:15
  SPEAKER_03: Eric, Needles is played by Flea.
• 33:19
  SPEAKER_03: Oh, thank you.
• 33:20
  SPEAKER_03: You're welcome.
• 33:22
  Eric: Sorry.
• 33:24
  Eric: Uh but yeah, so she tells Marty, hey, don't fucking, don't fucking don't fucking race.
• 33:29
  Eric: And then Marty decides not to race him, doesn't hit the Rolls Royce, doesn't injure his hand, doesn't endanger his music career, ruh.
• 33:37
  Matt: Implying that Marty himself has been forever changed.
• 33:40
  Matt: Uh continue.
• 33:42
  Eric: And it's almost Matt as if at that point we don't know the future because the future hasn't been written yet.
• 33:50
  Matt: It hasn't been written yet.
• 33:52
  Matt: No one's has.
• 33:55
  Matt: So we don't know definitively what happened.
• 33:59
  Matt: Now, I will say there is an extended universe of Back to the Future.
• 34:04
  Eric: There is, and that I I was going to ask you about this, Matt.
• 34:08
  Matt: For example, there is Back to the Future the animated series.
• 34:12
  Matt: There is.
• 34:12
  Matt: I will spoil it for you.
• 34:14
  Matt: It is not good.
• 34:17
  Matt: Are we I I the can I while I respect that in the in the overall Back to the Future community, the canon of Back to the Future includes the animated series, the video game, and the ride.
• 34:34
  Matt: The ride fucking rules.
• 34:38
  Matt: While it includes all those things, I personally like to stick to the three perfect films.
• 34:49
  Matt: And the ride.
• 34:50
  Matt: The ride is a fun time.
• 34:54
  Matt: I have not been on it.
• 34:55
  Eric: Oh my dude, I that was my favorite ride at Universal.
• 34:59
  Matt: I've never been to Universal, I've never been to Universal or Disney World or Disneyland.
• 35:03
  Eric: Well, man, you know what?
• 35:04
  Eric: Matt, we're going.
• 35:06
  Eric: As soon as our listeners just mash that fucking subscribe button and we start raking in those sellout dollars.
• 35:13
  Matt: Absolutely.
• 35:14
  Eric: We we offer no advertisements of any kind, but the back to the future ride fucking ruled.
• 35:19
  Eric: Like top to bottom, it was amazing.
• 35:22
  Eric: And because like you got to walk through, oh, I'll send you the fucking video.
• 35:26
  Eric: There's a whole video that I've done.
• 35:27
  Matt: Oh, I I've seen the footage.
• 35:29
  Eric: Please.
• 35:29
  Eric: Okay, thank God.
• 35:30
  Matt: Please, I've seen the footage.
• 35:32
  Eric: It's so good.
• 35:32
  Matt: But yeah, I I wouldn't necessarily even though some of it is canon and you can get into it on Futurepedia.
• 35:39
  Matt: You know, of the fan wikis, Futurepedia is actually pretty robust.
• 35:44
  Matt: Uh it it's pretty well documented with articles and such.
• 35:50
  Matt: You know, because sometimes you get these fan fandom pedias, and they've got like three articles to them.
• 35:56
  SPEAKER_05: Yeah.
• 35:57
  Matt: Futurepedia is not that way.
• 35:58
  Matt: It's it's pretty uh it's pretty definitive.
• 36:01
  Matt: Uh and they do consider, and then there's, you know, there's other things.
• 36:05
  Matt: There's some comics, there's books, there's oh yeah.
• 36:07
  Matt: So there's McDonald's toys.
• 36:09
  Matt: Yeah, so there is like an extended universe that is disputed canon of what is and isn't involved in in the in the universe.
• 36:19
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 36:20
  Matt: I say we should stick to the films.
• 36:22
  Matt: And the films end, just like you said, with the proclamation that the future hasn't been written yet.
• 36:30
  Matt: No one's has.
• 36:31
  Matt: It's what you make it.
• 36:34
  Matt: So what happened to Biff?
• 36:36
  Matt: I guess the question we're circling is he's asking, we we're can we're treating it as if Zach is uh uh asking about what is Biff up to in 2022?
• 36:47
  Eric: What do we speculate?
• 36:49
  Matt: What do we speculate?
• 36:51
  Matt: I think he's still got that detailing business which he had as as late as 2015.
• 36:58
  Matt: He he had.
• 37:00
  Matt: We know this.
• 37:01
  Matt: I uh he's probably retired.
• 37:04
  Matt: Hopefully, I hope for his sake he's fucking retired by now.
• 37:07
  Eric: Honestly, if Griff still happens in this timeline, probably gets murdered by Griff for his inheritance.
• 37:13
  Matt: Well, we yeah, I think we have to assume we have to assume Griff happens in some capacity.
• 37:19
  Eric: Yeah, Griff happens in some capacity.
• 37:21
  Eric: Also, do uh and let me be clear, Back to the Future 2 is probably my favorite of the three.
• 37:28
  Matt: I agree.
• 37:28
  Matt: I do intend to to tend to agree.
• 37:31
  Eric: Yeah, uh, it it fluctuates.
• 37:33
  Matt: What I've always said is back to the future 2 encompasses back to the future.
• 37:38
  Eric: Yeah, it's like both of them in one, it's fucking phenomenal.
• 37:41
  Eric: It's it's I'm and three slaps, don't get me wrong, three fucking slaps.
• 37:46
  Matt: There are people out let me just say this, Eric.
• 37:48
  Matt: I I know you're making a point, but I just want to stand on soapbox for real quick.
• 37:52
  Matt: There are people in this world that that believe that they they have put some brain cells together and they've come up with the thought that Back to the Future three is not a good movie, or at least is the weakest quote unquote of the three.
• 38:10
  Matt: And to you, I say, and earnest and sincere, you can go fuck.
• 38:17
  Eric: You can go fuck to the future.
• 38:18
  Matt: You can go fuck to the future, okay?
• 38:21
  Matt: There is not a goddamn thing wrong with Back to the Future 3.
• 38:25
  Eric: No, goddamn no.
• 38:26
  Eric: Oh my god, are you kidding me?
• 38:28
  Matt: Oh my god, no, there's nothing wrong with the Seamus McFly timeline.
• 38:32
  Eric: Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
• 38:34
  Matt: Nothing.
• 38:35
  Matt: Not a goddamn thing wrong with it.
• 38:37
  Matt: And uh you came to that, hey barber.
• 38:41
  Matt: What's your name, dude?
• 38:42
  Matt: That's a very good mad dog tannin.
• 38:44
  Matt: Thank you.
• 38:46
  SPEAKER_01: Very good mad dog tannin.
• 38:48
  Matt: Yeah, it's so good.
• 38:49
  Matt: It features Z Z Top.
• 38:51
  Matt: Let's not forget that.
• 38:53
  Eric: Oh my god! Like it's just fucking.
• 38:55
  Matt: It's it's a fun fucking time.
• 38:57
  Matt: And as we all know, or maybe we don't, maybe maybe I'm informing people, Back to the Future 2 and Back to the Future 3 were filmed concurrently.
• 39:07
  Eric: Yep.
• 39:08
  Eric: They Lord of the Rings did that.
• 39:10
  Matt: Sorry, no, Lord of the Rings, Back to the Future didn't.
• 39:14
  Matt: God damn right they did.
• 39:15
  Matt: They were released a year apart, but they were filmed back to back.
• 39:19
  Matt: And that is why there's so many references to Back to the Future 3 and Back to the Future 2.
• 39:24
  Matt: Anyway, really good.
• 39:25
  Matt: It's very it's done.
• 39:27
  Matt: It's very good.
• 39:27
  Matt: It's very well done.
• 39:28
  Eric: Back to the Future 3 also gives us this lovely, like, you know, we're watching this thing, right?
• 39:33
  Eric: We get to meet uh Marty's, you know, ancestors, you know, Seamus McFly.
• 39:38
  Eric: And then we get to see Seamus McFly's wife, Marty's great-grandmother, who suspiciously looks and sounds like his mom.
• 39:48
  Eric: Yeah.
• 39:48
  Eric: So they just drop that little little moral conundrum in our laps.
• 39:53
  Eric: Yes, we don't we don't like now, he's not gonna fuck his mom.
• 39:57
  Matt: Unless and and in this timeline, it's not even Crispin Glover and or his replacement uh in Back to the Future 2, but the uh it is it's Michael J.
• 40:11
  Matt: Fox who plays Seamus.
• 40:12
  Matt: So now he is in fact fucking Leonardo.
• 40:16
  Matt: Yeah, yeah.
• 40:17
  Eric: I like I love it.
• 40:18
  Matt: So it's it's it's quite amazing.
• 40:21
  Matt: And in some capacities, you consider back can can consider capacities.
• 40:26
  Matt: You could consider back to the future two and three the same film.
• 40:29
  Matt: Uh you could.
• 40:30
  Matt: You could you could it's two halves of the same coin in many ways.
• 40:34
  Matt: I've forgotten what we've gotten off track from.
• 40:36
  unknown: We we no.
• 40:37
  Matt: Oh, what Bill's doing in the what Bill, what Biff's doing in the present?
• 40:41
  Eric: Oh, yeah, Biff's doing the present, probably dead by his grandson's hand.
• 40:44
  Matt: He's either dead by his grandson's hand or he moved to Orlando.
• 40:50
  Eric: Yeah.
• 40:50
  Eric: Oh, but that's what I meant to talk about.
• 40:52
  Eric: Uh, this this is where this whole tangent began.
• 40:54
  Eric: Have I I feel like we ought like the the future in Back to the Future 2 is so cool that we also miss how low-key horrifying it is.
• 41:07
  Eric: Uh explain.
• 41:08
  Eric: Bro, they explain like within 10 minutes of Marty being there, Doc just casually drops, like, oh yeah, we wanted to speed up the judicial uh system so lawyers have been abolished.
• 41:20
  Eric: Yes, there's no it's it's martial law, there's no justice system.
• 41:26
  Matt: And the the press has the whole story within moments because the USA Today camera just floats in when he flies into the courthouse.
• 41:34
  Matt: Griff, that is.
• 41:35
  Eric: Yeah, yeah.
• 41:36
  Eric: Uh Griff is clearly wired up with fucking like illegal augmentation.
• 41:41
  Eric: He takes like a bunch of steroids, has like modifications to his goddamn adrenal glands and shit.
• 41:47
  Eric: That ain't that ain't great.
• 41:49
  Matt: Yeah, he has like biomodifications to his body, yes.
• 41:53
  Eric: There's a lot of stuff that just, you know, somewhat dystopian.
• 41:58
  Matt: Absolutely.
• 41:59
  Eric: But the weather's nice.
• 42:00
  Matt: The weather is predictable down to the second, after all.
• 42:04
  Matt: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 42:05
  Eric: Um, yeah, it it is a little strange.
• 42:08
  Matt: Also, the the flying car traffic situation seems to be chaotic at best.
• 42:14
  Eric: Oh my god, yeah, it is it is just no rules, just right.
• 42:19
  Matt: It would be intimidating to to travel the skyways.
• 42:22
  Eric: Oh, good god, yes.
• 42:23
  Matt: It does not look like a fun time whatsoever.
• 42:27
  Matt: But the self-drying clothes, I can get behind.
• 42:31
  Eric: I can get behind.
• 42:32
  Eric: I would also give up the justice system for hoverboards, there I say.
• 42:35
  Matt: Oh, absolutely.
• 42:36
  Matt: Real hoverboards, not what we got now, not the bullshit we have now.
• 42:42
  Matt: No, no, no, no.
• 42:44
  Matt: So anyway, we should probably we're going a little long already, so we should probably get back to the questions.
• 42:51
  Matt: We have a question here from Madness832 on Twitter.
• 42:56
  Matt: And that question is near the end of part two, after Doc gets struck by lightning in 1955, how did he land the DeLorean in 1980 in 1885 without crashing?
• 43:12
  Matt: And this is in reference to the fact that in Doc's letter that uh that he leaves for Marty, he said uh that the flying circuits were destroyed.
• 43:24
  Eric: Because I remember Doc specifically said the DeLorean will never fly again.
• 43:28
  Matt: The DeLorean will never fly again, and the the time circuits were damaged, and replacement parts wouldn't be available for decades.
• 43:37
  Matt: So he could not time travel, but Marty, on the other hand, can, and he should destroy the DeLorean when he arrives safely in 18 in 1985, and he should not try to go back to 1885.
• 43:50
  Matt: He does.
• 43:51
  Matt: Super does.
• 43:52
  Matt: So I I hear what you're saying, okay, Madness 832.
• 43:56
  Matt: I I hear what you're saying, because if he disappears.
• 44:00
  Matt: The car, when it gets struck by lightning, the tire treads that we see in fact make like a little loop-de-loop.
• 44:10
  Eric: I always thought it said like 999.
• 44:13
  Eric: Like I thought that was like a reference to something.
• 44:15
  Eric: But yeah, they do a little loop-de-loop.
• 44:17
  Eric: Like the car, like it looks like the car flipped in midair.
• 44:20
  Matt: It looks like the car you you could interpret it as flipped in mid-air or when it hit the the sonic booms and everything, just sent it like spinning.
• 44:30
  Matt: Yeah.
• 44:31
  Matt: So I do hear what he what you're saying, but there's nothing to necessarily suggest that the the the time circuits immediately or the flying circuits immediately cut out.
• 44:48
  Matt: He might it it could have been a six a check engine light situation where he had enough time to get the thing on the ground.
• 44:56
  Matt: The simple fact is we don't know enough about the hover conversion system to know how it would work in case of a failure.
• 45:06
  Matt: Because if the flying circuits and think about it, I'm getting hot now.
• 45:10
  Matt: Think about it in 2015.
• 45:12
  Matt: He's sweating for few.
• 45:13
  Matt: Listen to me.
• 45:14
  Matt: If you are on the Skyways in 2015 and the car and something backfires with the car, do we think the design of this flying system is such that it would just plummet like a rock out of the sky?
• 45:31
  Matt: I can't imagine the FAA would have signed off on such a thing.
• 45:36
  Eric: But they did to be fair, they did sign off on giving everyone a flying death machine.
• 45:40
  Matt: They did.
• 45:41
  Matt: So their judgment is questionable.
• 45:43
  Matt: Yeah.
• 45:44
  Matt: But I so my thought has always been there'd be some sort of bent like warning system that lowers the fucking thing to it would be that same voice, like like like uh let me see if I can do it.
• 45:58
  Eric: Uh warning.
• 45:59
  Matt: Car landing.
• 46:00
  Matt: That's very i I didn't I I want you to know I'm not putting any effects on that.
• 46:05
  Matt: Your jacket is now dry.
• 46:07
  SPEAKER_01: That's so good.
• 46:10
  Eric: But all that to say, uh, I think it is very reasonable that the the the the DeLorean, the flying, you know, the flying technology would have kind of some kind of like fail-safe, like even if everything's fried, like a an emergency, like it'll hover down to the ground and then fucking yeah, slowly lose power or something.
• 46:31
  Eric: Yeah, we're talking about a future where they can convert garbage into energy that is equivalent to plutonium.
• 46:38
  Eric: I think they can design like a safety drop.
• 46:42
  Matt: Also, don't forget that area of Hill Valley in 1885 is just fucking desert.
• 46:52
  Eric: So that was gonna actually be my point too, because like note where they are.
• 46:57
  Eric: They're like when when Doc gets struck by lightning, it's it's right at where like the future Lion Estates is gonna be built.
• 47:04
  Eric: Correct.
• 47:04
  Eric: That has all been super fucking developed, like bulldozed down.
• 47:08
  Eric: They probably lowered the grade of the land significantly when they carved that out.
• 47:13
  Eric: Because like when they're there, it's just it's not like fields and shit, it is just bulldozed dirt.
• 47:21
  Eric: They probably like there were like probably hills and shit, you know, hill valley.
• 47:26
  Eric: Indeed.
• 47:26
  Eric: Where that shit was like bulldozed down, less than a little bit.
• 47:30
  Eric: Yeah, where are you going to basically like when he when Doc went back to 1955, there was probably also less of a drop.
• 47:38
  SPEAKER_01: You mean 1885?
• 47:39
  Eric: Oh, sorry, 1885, thank you.
• 47:41
  Matt: Yes, probably so.
• 47:43
  Matt: He was also well in the air.
• 47:45
  Matt: So the it's not like he, you know, uh we don't know the landscape, but my assumption is between some sort of failsafe with the flying circuits and the fact that he's in an open area of some kind, he was probably able to set this thing down.
• 48:05
  Matt: Maybe the, you know, the axle got a little fucked on the way down.
• 48:09
  Matt: Maybe, but he can repair that.
• 48:11
  Matt: He was a blacksmith after all.
• 48:13
  Matt: Yeah, not to mention the he just couldn't fix the future technology that didn't exist yet.
• 48:19
  Eric: Yeah, he otherwise repaired the damn thing.
• 48:22
  Eric: Yeah.
• 48:23
  Eric: Also keep in mind, like, there's probably some like flying car equivalent of airbags that are like in that car, like some kind of suspen instant like suspension system or what have you that you know protects you in case of falls.
• 48:38
  Matt: I'm I am positive there is uh some sort of safety measure that would have set him down safely if not entirely comfortably.
• 48:51
  Eric: Yeah.
• 48:52
  Matt: So that's what we have to say about that, madness 832.
• 48:55
  Eric: Yep.
• 48:56
  Matt: Now we do have a we we have gone on a little bit, despite my best efforts, but uh we uh we do have a couple more questions.
• 49:05
  Matt: Actually, I think we just have one more question.
• 49:07
  Matt: Yeah, and it's another big one, Eric.
• 49:09
  Eric: Uh and this comes from our good friend at Mike Perry Jr.
• 49:14
  Eric: on Instagram.
• 49:15
  Eric: What really brought Marty and Doc Brown together?
• 49:20
  Eric: How close are they?
• 49:22
  SPEAKER_05: Why?
• 49:23
  Matt: Yes.
• 49:24
  Matt: Uh the yes, another popular question.
• 49:27
  Matt: And you know, this is when you really break it down and think about it, give it a think, it is a questionable relationship.
• 49:36
  Matt: But uh the in the history of cinema, the uh the idea of a young person and an older person having an unlikely friendship is not a new trope.
• 49:50
  Eric: No, it's all over the place.
• 49:51
  Matt: It's not a new idea.
• 49:54
  Matt: The, you know, I think so I will say that there was a I I forget the exact article that it happened in.
• 50:05
  Matt: It was in some sort of AMA situation, some sort of live interview where a commentator who claimed to be Bob Gale, the producer of this the series, he claimed to be Bob Gale, and he said that in the original screenplay, the backstory that was given and then cut because it's, you know, unnecessary, yeah, is that Marty, uh, like on a dare or something, broke into the laboratory, the garage of Doc.
• 50:44
  Matt: And the fact that he was able to do that and get past whatever that he was able to get past whatever convoluted security systems Doc had in place, impressed Doc.
• 50:55
  Matt: He gave him a job helping out around the lab and bing, bang, boom, they're friends.
• 51:02
  Matt: But you know, we don't know that that's canon.
• 51:05
  Matt: We don't know that that was really Bob Gale.
• 51:08
  Matt: It probably wasn't in all I can't I can't remember.
• 51:12
  Matt: Uh I'm sure FuturoPedia could tell me um the outlet it was.
• 51:17
  Matt: One second.
• 51:19
  Matt: Uh yes, Futuropedia tells me there was a a mental floss article that Marty McFly and Doc became friends.
• 51:27
  Matt: Uh and it uh it Bob Gale did like post a photo that says, yes, it's me.
• 51:34
  Matt: Gale likes mental floss, but that's just him holding up a sign.
• 51:40
  Matt: It still seems pretty questionable that it's actually uh the Bob Gale.
• 51:47
  Matt: But uh what was posted was, and this is this is the quote from the uh alleged Bob Gale, okay, from the horse's mouth.
• 51:54
  Matt: Yes, I'm the horse, co-writer, co-creator.
• 51:58
  Matt: We never explained it in the movie, but in the history of the characters that Bob Zemeckis and I created is this.
• 52:04
  Matt: For years, Marty was told that Doc was dangerous, a crackpot, a lunatic.
• 52:10
  Matt: So being a red-blooded American teenage boy, age 13 or 14, he decided to find out just why this guy was so dangerous.
• 52:20
  Matt: Marty snuck into Doc's lab and was fascinated by all the cool stuff that was there.
• 52:25
  Matt: When Doc found him in there, he was delighted to find that Marty thought he was cool and accepted him for what he was.
• 52:32
  Matt: Both of them were the black sheep of their respective environments.
• 52:36
  Matt: Doc gave Marty a part-time job to help with experiments, tend to the lab, tend to the dog, etc.
• 52:42
  Matt: And that's the origin of their relationship.
• 52:46
  Eric: That's wholesome as fuck.
• 52:47
  Matt: That's wholesome as fuck.
• 52:50
  Matt: Maybe it's fake.
• 52:51
  Matt: You know, maybe that's not.
• 52:53
  Matt: Who can say who I like it?
• 52:55
  Matt: Literally, who can say?
• 52:57
  Matt: But the thing is, I don't really care.
• 53:00
  Matt: And I think we know how close they are.
• 53:03
  Matt: Like they the dialogue in Back to the Future one and two, when we see the non-1955 doc.
• 53:14
  Matt: Doc has a pretty good understanding of Marty, Marty's life.
• 53:18
  Matt: He knows Jennifer.
• 53:20
  Matt: He Jennifer seems to know Doc, implying they've at least met at some point.
• 53:26
  Matt: You know, he's told by his parents and such that he shouldn't hang out with him.
• 53:32
  Matt: Doc built this kid a fucking amp.
• 53:35
  Matt: There's no reason for that giant amp to exist other than Doc built it for Marty as some sort of gift.
• 53:45
  Eric: As some sort of thank you.
• 53:47
  Eric: Uh, yeah.
• 53:48
  Eric: Also, Doc trusts Marty to watch his dog.
• 53:51
  Matt: Doc?
• 53:52
  Eric: That is that is love.
• 53:53
  Eric: That is trust.
• 53:54
  Matt: Doc trusts Marty to watch his dog.
• 53:57
  Matt: At the very least, he has that responsibility to Doc.
• 54:02
  Matt: So I I think we can consider them pretty good solid friends.
• 54:07
  Matt: You know, they're solid friends, best friends.
• 54:10
  Matt: They're solid friends.
• 54:11
  Matt: Unclear.
• 54:12
  Matt: But by the end of their little adventure here in time, they are indeed friends in time.
• 54:17
  Eric: Yeah.
• 54:18
  unknown: Yeah.
• 54:19
  Matt: Also, all-time friends, Mun might say.
• 54:22
  Eric: I have a theory.
• 54:23
  Eric: Tell me.
• 54:24
  Eric: So in 1955, Doc's dog is named Copernicus.
• 54:27
  SPEAKER_03: Indeed.
• 54:28
  Eric: And in 1985, Doc has a shockingly similar-looking dog named Einstein.
• 54:34
  SPEAKER_03: Correct.
• 54:35
  Eric: Never confirmed.
• 54:36
  Eric: Never hinted at.
• 54:37
  Eric: I think Einstein's a clone.
• 54:40
  Matt: Um wouldn't surprise me.
• 54:43
  Matt: I think maybe that, you know what?
• 54:45
  Matt: Now that you say that, I think that might be true.
• 54:47
  Matt: I think he might have uh there might be some extended universal lore where he cloned uh uh Copernicus.
• 54:53
  Eric: He loved the dog so much he was like, yep, this is the only dog I need.
• 54:56
  Matt: I think that might be a uh at least another theory that I've heard before.
• 55:00
  Eric: Yes.
• 55:01
  Matt: So at Mike Parig Jr., I think uh that's what we can find brought them together.
• 55:07
  Matt: How close are they?
• 55:08
  Matt: I think pretty close.
• 55:09
  Eric: Pretty goddamn close.
• 55:10
  Matt: The why is simple.
• 55:12
  Matt: Why are they that close?
• 55:14
  Matt: Because they're good people who care about each other.
• 55:17
  Eric: Why?
• 55:17
  Eric: That's the power of love.
• 55:19
  Matt: That's the power of love.
• 55:22
  Matt: This is where we'd put we'd put it if we could play it.
• 55:26
  Matt: So instead, Eric, take it away.
• 55:28
  SPEAKER_01: That's power of love.
• 55:33
  Matt: Uh as I I son, son, I'm afraid you're just too damn loud.
• 55:41
  Eric: That would be that's that's your that's your back to the future sona is guy with the megaphone.
• 55:47
  Eric: Megaphone.
• 55:47
  Matt: Excuse me, sir, sir.
• 55:49
  Matt: This is the quiet car.
• 55:51
  Matt: Wait a minute.
• 55:51
  Matt: Eric, what did you just say?
• 55:53
  Matt: Oh what?
• 55:54
  Matt: What did you just say?
• 55:56
  Eric: I said son, you're too lap.
• 55:58
  Matt: No, no, no.
• 55:58
  Matt: You the g the the guy with the megaphone?
• 56:01
  Eric: Oh, oh, oh, when when um fucking uh I thought I could have sworn the dude had a megaphone.
• 56:08
  Matt: Yeah, the dude.
• 56:09
  Matt: Are you not are you unclear as to who that dude is?
• 56:13
  Matt: Who is that dude?
• 56:14
  Matt: That dude is Huey Lewis.
• 56:16
  Matt: It's a joke, Eric.
• 56:17
  Matt: Of the news?
• 56:19
  Matt: Of and the news.
• 56:23
  Matt: Of for by the news?
• 56:26
  Matt: Yeah, it's a joke, Eric.
• 56:27
  Matt: He's saying his own song is too damn loud.
• 56:29
  Eric: I never realized that was Huey Lewis.
• 56:31
  Matt: That's Huey Lewis.
• 56:32
  Eric: I never realized that was Huey Lewis.
• 56:33
  Matt: There's a lot to Back to the Future that I think you have yet to unearth is what I'm gonna do.
• 56:37
  Eric: Oh my god, this is amazing.
• 56:38
  Matt: I I think there's a lot for you still to mine.
• 56:42
  Eric: Matt, tell me what you're doing.
• 56:43
  Eric: Can I can I Alright, Eric, I'm telling me your favorite bits.
• 56:46
  Matt: We already, we already established that you are in the Back to the Future community.
• 56:51
  Matt: Thank you.
• 56:51
  Matt: Tentatively.
• 56:52
  Eric: Okay, oh fuck.
• 56:54
  Eric: Quiz me, quiz me, quiz me time, daddy.
• 56:56
  Matt: I'm gonna give you a basic one, and then listeners, I promise we will leave Back to the Future in the past for right now.
• 57:02
  Matt: Or will we?
• 57:03
  Matt: Or will we?
• 57:07
  Eric: Um Eric, what is the name of the mall that Twin Pines Mall, but after he crashes the DeLorean into the fucking little tree, it becomes Lone Pine Mall.
• 57:20
  Matt: Very good, Eric.
• 57:21
  Matt: Very, very good.
• 57:24
  Matt: Yeah.
• 57:24
  Matt: There and this is this is a bit that recurs throughout the um It's a good bit.
• 57:30
  Matt: It's a good bit.
• 57:31
  Matt: This this in the background something changes whether or not you you notice it.
• 57:38
  Matt: Um the other one being um the name of the ravine changes to uh Eastwood Ravine uh at the end of Back to the Future 3.
• 57:50
  Matt: Eastwood.
• 57:51
  Matt: Clint Eastwood.
• 57:54
  Matt: What kind of stupid name is that?
• 57:57
  Matt: Oh man.
• 57:58
  Matt: I uh anyone who doesn't like Back to the Future 3, please contact me directly so we can meet up at a flagpole.
• 58:06
  Matt: Yeah.
• 58:08
  Matt: Because I gotta teach you some fucking respect.
• 58:12
  Matt: Yeah, yeah.
• 58:13
  Eric: It's it's it's so fucking good.
• 58:16
  Matt: My fate one of my favorite lines, and it happens in Back to the Future 3.
• 58:20
  Matt: One of my favorite lines of the entire trilogy is is this a holdup?
• 58:26
  Matt: It's a science experiment.
• 58:28
  Eric: So good.
• 58:29
  Eric: Like they're the little look they give each other.
• 58:31
  Matt: Yes, I love I fucking love it.
• 58:34
  Matt: And don't forget, this is a and then they disconnect the cars.
• 58:37
  Matt: Don't forget this part.
• 58:39
  Matt: They just left people, yeah, abandoned them.
• 58:43
  Matt: People were in those cars that they just left somewhere out in the desert of California.
• 58:51
  Matt: Oh, I love it so much.
• 58:52
  Matt: Yeah, and it has Mary Steinburgeon.
• 58:54
  Matt: So any any sort of disrespect to the Back to the Future 3 is is is disrespect to Mary Steinburgeon.
• 59:02
  Matt: And and you should be ashamed of yourself.
• 59:04
  Eric: You should you should absolutely be ashamed of yourself.
• 59:06
  SPEAKER_01: Now, uh, Eric.
• 59:08
  Eric: Yes.
• 59:08
  Matt: We've got we have gone a little long on time, but um, I I still think we should maybe throw in a closing segment.
• 59:14
  Matt: What say you?
• 59:15
  Eric: Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 59:16
  Eric: Let's let's throw it in because I'm I'm I've been fiend in for this one.
• 59:19
  Matt: Yeah, what do you what do you feel like doing, Eric?
• 59:21
  Eric: Matt, I feel like I feel like I want to taste the high life.
• 59:25
  Eric: I feel like I want to live deliciously.
• 59:28
  Eric: Oh, it has But I also want to make sure I'm making informed choices as a consumer.
• 59:35
  Eric: Yes.
• 59:36
  SPEAKER_05: Uh Fault LaRoy!
• 59:44
  Eric: For those of you not on the fucking know, we're gonna go back to the past.
• 59:51
  Eric: One of little Matt Shea's biggest dreams as a child, when like he wanted to grow up, was that he wanted to be grow up and be a butler.
• 1:00:02
  Eric: He really super wanted to be a butler.
• 1:00:05
  Eric: And we believe in achieving dreams on this show.
• 1:00:08
  Eric: Uh so Matt has adopted this persona of Fauntleroy, a butler who in a who literally like works at a fucking mansion the whole nine yards.
• 1:00:19
  Eric: The Radcliffe Manor.
• 1:00:21
  Eric: The Radcliffe Manor, thank you.
• 1:00:23
  Eric: From the font Fauntleroy verse.
• 1:00:25
  Eric: And Fauntleroy goes on to Amazon to write reviews for products.
• 1:00:32
  Eric: So Matt is going to share some reviews of of various Amazon products uh as his titular character.
• 1:00:43
  SPEAKER_05: Fauntleroy!
• 1:00:45
  Matt: Yes, and if you uh if you'd like to hear more from Fauntleroy, he originally debuted way back in episode 23, which happens to be our first themed episode.
• 1:00:58
  Matt: Monopoly, it starts with a dream.
• 1:01:03
  Matt: So go back and listen to that.
• 1:01:04
  Matt: But these are some new reviews from uh Fauntleroy.
• 1:01:08
  Matt: Now, if you uh excuse me, I have to uh fall into my persona as Fauntleroy.
• 1:01:15
  Matt: This is my review of two pieces full face mask, BW, second skin masks, Halloween spandex hood for unisex cloth.
• 1:01:26
  Matt: Indeed Headline surprisingly frightful Derek, the Lord and Lady's eldest, requested I procure a completely black spandex mask for purposes he declined to disclose.
• 1:01:44
  Matt: Curious, and more than a little concerned, I ordered him this two pack of masks.
• 1:01:51
  Matt: Before I handed it over to the eldest Master Radcliffe, my curiosity got the better of me and I tried one on myself.
• 1:02:00
  Matt: I found my vision through the fabric to be surprisingly clear, but when I examined myself in the mirror I found no trace of my facial features through the mask.
• 1:02:12
  Matt: It was at this time that Clarence walked in and found me in the mask, and nearly died from the fright.
• 1:02:18
  Matt: These masks would be especially useful for a costume come Halloween.
• 1:02:24
  Matt: I assume that's what Master Derrick required it for, yet when I suggested as much to him, he simply stared at me and closed his bedroom door.
• 1:02:36
  Matt: Most curious.
• 1:02:38
  Matt: Five stars.
• 1:02:41
  Eric: I should also intrigue.
• 1:02:44
  Matt: I should also note that ten people have found this review helpful.
• 1:02:52
  Eric: To be clear, you can go to Amazon right now and read these reviews.
• 1:02:57
  Matt: Yes, you can go to Amazon, you can read these reviews.
• 1:03:01
  Matt: These are on these products, they're from somebody named Faunt Leroy.
• 1:03:05
  Matt: My picture is of a butler holding a tray, uh Butler's arm.
• 1:03:09
  Eric: And I want to be clear, you like you actually like get by this shit, right?
• 1:03:14
  Matt: These are things I've purchased.
• 1:03:15
  Matt: Yeah, you you've you've purchased these.
• 1:03:17
  Eric: You've used these are sincere reviews.
• 1:03:19
  Matt: Yes, and the idea is that while it's saying a review of the product, I am also, however, uh weaving a tale that can only be found if you look at the reviews together.
• 1:03:35
  Eric: God damn it, I love this.
• 1:03:37
  Matt: Now, my next product I'm reviewing for you today from Buy the Cup.
• 1:03:43
  Matt: Ghiradelli Double Chocolate Hot Cocoa Mix.85 ounce packets, pack of twenty-five with buy the cup cocoa scoop.
• 1:03:54
  unknown: Oh yeah.
• 1:03:56
  Matt: Chocolate isn't always a transferable skill.
• 1:04:01
  Matt: As snowflakes around the manor begin to float through the air, so too do the sounds of Lady Ratcliffe's hot cocoa bell.
• 1:04:13
  Matt: She calls for her cocoa no less than fourteen times a day, as is her custom after the first of December, and the kitchen staff struggles to keep whipping up fresh batches of homemade hot cocoa.
• 1:04:28
  Matt: I ordered this twenty five pack of Ghiradelli hot chocolate to save the staff some trouble, and in doing so I nearly cost them their lives.
• 1:04:39
  Matt: While Ghiradelli is a reliable name in the world of mass produced chocolate treats, these hot chocolate packs are anything but sweet.
• 1:04:49
  Matt: The end result is a watery, tasteless mess.
• 1:04:54
  Matt: Upon tasting it, Lady Ratcliffe had head chef Pierre sent up to her chamber and chastised him for nearly half an hour before sending him back to the kitchen to fetch her proper cocoa.
• 1:05:07
  Matt: Thinking quickly, the staff put two packs together, thinking they could boost the flavor of the sugary beverage.
• 1:05:15
  Matt: In doing so, they created a drink so bitter even Clarence wouldn't touch it.
• 1:05:22
  Matt: After one sip, Lady Radcliffe called me to personally escort her to the kitchen, so she could personally berate the entire cooking staff.
• 1:05:32
  Matt: As she crossed the threshold of the kitchen, I said a silent prayer for the brave souls on the other side of that swinging door.
• 1:05:41
  Matt: By this time Pierre had made a cup of the so called Swiss Miss, which delighted the lady.
• 1:05:49
  Matt: A far cheaper and superior product that saved fourteen lives one cold wintery afternoon.
• 1:05:58
  Matt: I suggest you ditch.
• 1:06:00
  Matt: This fresh hell from Gira Deli and keep some of the real instant cocoa on your shelf.
• 1:06:08
  Matt: One star.
• 1:06:11
  SPEAKER_05: Savage Fauntleroy.
• 1:06:13
  SPEAKER_05: Savage.
• 1:06:16
  Matt: I'll be honest, this last one, uh, I I actually just posted it recently, and it ha by the time it comes out, uh the episode comes out, it will be out there.
• 1:06:26
  Matt: But uh I I I I just saved the text and I forgot what headline I put on this.
• 1:06:31
  Matt: So apologies.
• 1:06:32
  Matt: Headline unknown.
• 1:06:35
  Matt: But my final review of the day will be of Shoshibo Shape Shifting Box, award-winning patented fidget cube with thirty-six rare earth magnets, extraordinary 3D magic cube, Shushibo cube magic fidget toy transforms into over seventy shapes spaced out.
• 1:07:01
  Matt: That was all the name of the product.
• 1:07:03
  Eric: Oh, okay.
• 1:07:04
  Matt: That was all the product name.
• 1:07:06
  Matt: Lately my assistant, Clarence, has developed a nasty habit of picking his nails.
• 1:07:13
  Matt: A common tick, to be sure, that comes over him in times of great stress.
• 1:07:20
  Matt: Sadly, most of everyday life causes the poor oaf to feel overwhelmed, so he's been seen all over the manor tearing himself apart.
• 1:07:30
  Matt: Usually he at least has enough wits about him to recover any falling trippings, but the other week he left a scrap of himself in the conservatory.
• 1:07:42
  Matt: This is arguably the worst place in the manor for him to have forgotten himself, as it is the one place that Lady Radcliffe can, and I quote, feel at peace with this miserable charade that is her life.
• 1:07:58
  Matt: Naturally she flew into a rage, wanting to know who to blame.
• 1:08:03
  Matt: Clarence fled and I had to save one of the gardeners from being attacked by the good lady and her trowel.
• 1:08:10
  Matt: I purchased Clarence this Shoshibo cube to keep his hands busy.
• 1:08:15
  Matt: Although it claims to be able to make seventy shapes, only about twenty of them are satisfying.
• 1:08:23
  Matt: Nevertheless, Clarence found it to be a good outlet for his wandering anxiety.
• 1:08:28
  Matt: I myself have picked it up a time or two, and I must say it's quite satisfying to manipulate.
• 1:08:36
  Matt: Sadly, the same can't be said about the trowel which Lady Radcliffe buried in the hip of the gardener.
• 1:08:43
  Matt: I'm afraid my speed isn't what it used to be.
• 1:08:47
  Matt: I let him off with the usual payment to keep such things quiet.
• 1:08:53
  Matt: Four stars.
• 1:08:54
  Matt: That is what I have for you today.
• 1:08:58
  Matt: A good day, gentlemen.
• 1:09:07
  SPEAKER_03: I fucking love this.
• 1:09:10
  Matt: Yes, it has been I I didn't even realize it had been that long since we'd uh heard from Fauntleroy, so it was good to check in with him.
• 1:09:18
  Matt: And by all means, go to Amazon and find his reviews helpful, as 10 people have, uh, for that one review.
• 1:09:26
  Matt: Um he does I believe he has some successful other reviews as well, but uh there's quite a few out there.
• 1:09:33
  Matt: Uh but and and go back to the old episode, of course, and listen.
• 1:09:37
  Matt: Listen to them.
• 1:09:38
  Matt: Uh his uh I believe his review that I read read last time of uh uh of the Pepto Bismol liquid caps that has also received seven helpful reviews.
• 1:09:49
  Matt: Yes.
• 1:09:50
  Matt: Excellent.
• 1:09:50
  Matt: Yes.
• 1:09:51
  Matt: Now uh I think Eric, um uh d do we have anything else that we need to go over?
• 1:09:57
  Matt: Matt, I think it's time to give them the business.
• 1:10:01
  Matt: Okay.
• 1:10:02
  Matt: Well, if you think it's time for the business.
• 1:10:05
  Matt: Give them the business.
• 1:10:06
  Matt: Folks, listen, we need your questions.
• 1:10:08
  Matt: They don't have to be about a film franchise, they can be about anything, really anything at all.
• 1:10:14
  Matt: In fact, mostly that's what we do.
• 1:10:16
  Eric: It could be about Back to the Future, the ride.
• 1:10:18
  Matt: It could be about DeLorean, the new DeLorean that is coming out.
• 1:10:23
  Matt: What?
• 1:10:23
  Matt: Wait, you didn't know about the new DeLorean.
• 1:10:26
  Matt: Yes, there's a new DeLorean.
• 1:10:27
  Matt: It's electric.
• 1:10:27
  Matt: Boogie Woogie Woogie Woogie.
• 1:10:29
  Eric: Oh, does it have the doors?
• 1:10:30
  Matt: It does have Goldwing doors.
• 1:10:32
  Matt: It admittedly we'll put a picture of it on Instagram, on the Instagram.
• 1:10:35
  Matt: Um, it it admittedly is not as cool looking as the original DeLorean.
• 1:10:40
  Matt: It looks very uh, it just looks new and Tesla-esque, if I'm being honest.
• 1:10:45
  SPEAKER_01: Okay.
