• 1:22
  Speaker 4: Today, we gathered around some of our favorite NPR hosts, producers,
• 1:27
  Speaker 4: and journalists to talk process and what it's like to
• 1:30
  Speaker 4: work at NPR.
• 1:32
  Speaker 3: So sit back, enjoy the news in the most wonderful
• 1:36
  Speaker 3: relaxing way and listening.
• 1:42
  Speaker 4: You know.
• 1:43
  Speaker 5: I actually got one of the free tote bags they
• 1:47
  Speaker 5: had available in the conference room, and I have to
• 1:50
  Speaker 5: confess the toad is a little bigger than my average
• 1:55
  Speaker 5: tote bag, so I find myself carrying a whole secondary
• 1:59
  Speaker 5: clause it with me to work. Occasionally. I think it's
• 2:03
  Speaker 5: they're quite dandy. Did you get one?
• 2:06
  Speaker 6: I certainly did get.
• 2:07
  Speaker 4: Have you brought it to the farmer's market?
• 2:10
  Speaker 5: You know, I have brought it to the farmers market
• 2:12
  Speaker 5: and you get.
• 2:12
  Speaker 4: One more avocado than normal?
• 2:15
  Speaker 5: You know, it definitely made me a little bit freer
• 2:19
  Speaker 5: with the spending, probably, to be honest.
• 2:21
  Speaker 6: More some room for the more the more robust charred.
• 2:26
  Speaker 6: It's probably not even poking out of the top.
• 2:28
  Speaker 4: Maybe you could even have a crazy one and get
• 2:30
  Speaker 4: the mango chutney.
• 2:32
  Speaker 5: Oh there could have been room for that. I I
• 2:35
  Speaker 5: must confess there's a little bit of charred stuck at
• 2:39
  Speaker 5: the bottom of the bag still. So I went this
• 2:41
  Speaker 5: Sunday to atwater.
• 2:42
  Speaker 6: It's going to wilts. That's going to wils.
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: You've got to take that chart out and get into
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: the fridge, or maybe clean it up with some water,
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: I would.
• 2:49
  Speaker 4: Say, baking soda.
• 2:53
  Speaker 3: I just read a really interesting article that's a chart
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: is actually more acidic than we think it is. Say, really, yeah,
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: we understand most vegetables are base, but charred is one
• 3:05
  Speaker 3: of the acidic ones.
• 3:06
  Speaker 5: Well, I'll definitely be thinking twice the next time I
• 3:09
  Speaker 5: put it in my minestroni.
• 3:12
  Speaker 6: Interesting thing.
• 3:13
  Speaker 4: I love a minnestroni.
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: Nothing more better than you know. It reminds me of
• 3:18
  Speaker 3: when Grandma used to make ministroni when I was young.
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: She had a very specific recipe. She's a Russian Lithuanian
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: moved and migrated here my parents did, and so she
• 3:31
  Speaker 3: followed them. And you know, she still takes the country Lithuania.
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: Every time I saw her, I always was wondering, what
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: is this about her? And I recently took a trip
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: to Lithuanian and I realized so much of my life
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: was Lithuanian because my grandma.
• 3:46
  Speaker 6: Wow, your grandma's Lithuanian Minnestronian.
• 3:49
  Speaker 4: I think what's so funny about our culture is that
• 3:52
  Speaker 4: sometimes you'll be sipping on a bowl of minestrone, and
• 3:56
  Speaker 4: in a way, that's a bowl of your culture you're
• 3:58
  Speaker 4: sipping in history.
• 4:00
  Speaker 6: I have read this recent book about the Minestroni index.
• 4:04
  Speaker 4: I love the Minestronian decks.
• 4:06
  Speaker 6: It's fantastic look at cultures and diasporas and the way
• 4:10
  Speaker 6: that you can judge a culture based on its minestronian
• 4:13
  Speaker 6: and they found in many ways the ingredients that make
• 4:18
  Speaker 6: up the minestrone reflect reflect the culture itself, and the
• 4:22
  Speaker 6: more ingredients in a minnestrone, the more diverse a culture too.
• 4:25
  Speaker 5: Well, in a way, I think that that cooking is
• 4:28
  Speaker 5: sort of it's almost like I like to say, a
• 4:31
  Speaker 5: font if you if you'll allow this metaphor, because a
• 4:36
  Speaker 5: font is the same word but typed a slightly different way.
• 4:40
  Speaker 5: And I think with minnestroni, we all bring a little
• 4:42
  Speaker 5: piece of ourselves to the table. So you know, I
• 4:45
  Speaker 5: enjoyed that book very much.
• 4:46
  Speaker 4: With the minestroni it did make me think of a
• 4:49
  Speaker 4: recent purchase I just made from an independent bookstore in
• 4:52
  Speaker 4: the back of an alley in London, and it's the
• 4:55
  Speaker 4: soup Tarot Cards soup and the five of Us believe
• 5:00
  Speaker 4: it or not, is a cup of ministry.
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: Well, I just love it because I recently read a
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: small excerpt in a web magazine I follow called New
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: York New York It's beautiful kind of Indie, and it
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: was talking about the history of tarot cards and how
• 5:19
  Speaker 3: so much medieval culture is actually insinuated in the tarot card.
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: And as much as we try to move into a
• 5:27
  Speaker 3: more Roman Catholic understanding of the world, and now moving
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: past Roman Catholic into Agnosticism, we still have Druidic, Celtic,
• 5:37
  Speaker 3: Anglo Saxon type of ties.
• 5:41
  Speaker 6: That's very interesting to me because I actually just interviewed
• 5:45
  Speaker 6: LATINX graffiti artists who just released her own tarot cards.
• 5:49
  Speaker 6: Her name is Maya Fica. She's amazing Los Angeles and
• 5:55
  Speaker 6: she's making this incredible set of tarot cards that reflects
• 5:59
  Speaker 6: her cult.
• 6:00
  Speaker 5: Sure, it's very interesting. I was actually speaking to a
• 6:05
  Speaker 5: I interviewed for a profile on the Streets of Las Vegas,
• 6:10
  Speaker 5: a non binary magician who is using tarot. As you know,
• 6:16
  Speaker 5: magicians kind of have always taken just the standard deck
• 6:20
  Speaker 5: of playing cards as the titular pick a card. But
• 6:26
  Speaker 5: this artist kind of challenges the notion of that and says,
• 6:29
  Speaker 5: what if we picked a tarot card, What if we
• 6:32
  Speaker 5: challenged the audience members to remember a card from a
• 6:36
  Speaker 5: different time difference?
• 6:38
  Speaker 3: Well, you said your.
• 6:39
  Speaker 6: Card, is this your future?
• 6:40
  Speaker 3: That's beautiful?
• 6:41
  Speaker 4: You said challenge And that made me think of yesterday.
• 6:44
  Speaker 4: I had a jasmine tea bag. Looked at the tea
• 6:48
  Speaker 4: bag and on on the tag of it it said
• 6:51
  Speaker 4: challenge yourself today. And I think it's funny you brought
• 6:54
  Speaker 4: up the sense and the idea of being challenged within
• 6:58
  Speaker 4: a deck of cards, because like we talk about culture,
• 7:01
  Speaker 4: and we talk about talking to our ancestors, and how
• 7:04
  Speaker 4: much of that is a challenge and how much of
• 7:06
  Speaker 4: that is a tea back?
• 7:08
  Speaker 5: Well, you mentioned ancestor. Well, I I was recently in
• 7:12
  Speaker 5: an ancestral ballpit. Have you been to an ancestral.
• 7:15
  Speaker 4: Ball Interesting they have the.
• 7:21
  Speaker 6: Hancock bark.
• 7:21
  Speaker 5: Yes, it's an ancestral ballpin, and it's sort of like
• 7:29
  Speaker 5: uh imagining it's it's done by a former employee of
• 7:35
  Speaker 5: the former designer of the McDonald's play Pet.
• 7:38
  Speaker 3: Place and Story.
• 7:41
  Speaker 6: Have you read that book about him?
• 7:42
  Speaker 4: It's an incredible really, I mean powerful incredible.
• 7:47
  Speaker 5: The opioid crisis has affected America in many ways and
• 7:51
  Speaker 5: in funky ways and in funky ways, and ballpit designers
• 7:54
  Speaker 5: are are not immune to that. And yeah, they found
• 7:57
  Speaker 5: themselves struck struck between the the jovial nature of the
• 8:01
  Speaker 5: ballpit and his ancestral ties to opioids.
• 8:06
  Speaker 3: And that is so interesting for me because I just
• 8:09
  Speaker 3: recently interviewed. Yesterday, I was interviewing Sukioheda, who is a
• 8:14
  Speaker 3: wonderful Japanese artist, a dear friend, and focused on joy
• 8:19
  Speaker 3: and Suki Waterhouse, we kind of had this wonderful debate
• 8:22
  Speaker 3: discussion about is joy appropriative or appreciative? If we're if
• 8:28
  Speaker 3: we celebrate joy in the Japanese classical sense of the word,
• 8:32
  Speaker 3: are we being appropriative with Japanese culture or are we
• 8:35
  Speaker 3: appreciating Japanese culture by ensuing and taking in joy?
• 8:40
  Speaker 4: Have you all ever had an authentic Japanese tea bag?
• 8:43
  Speaker 3: Yes, of course, yes.
• 8:45
  Speaker 4: It makes you think how many things are we repurposing
• 8:49
  Speaker 4: as Americans, even down to the water drop.
• 8:52
  Speaker 6: I mean incredible visual artist by the name of Chess Redcorn.
• 8:57
  Speaker 6: And he is, of course an indigit artist, and he's
• 9:00
  Speaker 6: a fantastic mas and he is making a lot of
• 9:05
  Speaker 6: incredible visual art, found object art, you know. And he's
• 9:10
  Speaker 6: repurposing those Native Americans that used to see outside of
• 9:13
  Speaker 6: cigar stores. He's building them out of fast food containers.
• 9:17
  Speaker 3: Interesting.
• 9:17
  Speaker 4: I just read a book on the origins. Do you
• 9:21
  Speaker 4: guys remember ten years ago when la was littered with
• 9:25
  Speaker 4: those angel statues?
• 9:27
  Speaker 3: Yes?
• 9:27
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I read a book on a woman who made
• 9:32
  Speaker 4: it her mission to visit each and while she made
• 9:35
  Speaker 4: it her mission, she's very friend of mine.
• 9:37
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 9:37
  Speaker 4: Really during that journey, Yes, her name is Bethany. Bethany,
• 9:41
  Speaker 4: during that journey she lost her mother. So the book
• 9:44
  Speaker 4: is this beautiful coffee table book and it's pictures of
• 9:46
  Speaker 4: each of the angels, and halfway through it's a beautiful
• 9:52
  Speaker 4: rest and reflection on loss. And then she goes right
• 9:56
  Speaker 4: back into the angel statues. And I find that someone
• 10:00
  Speaker 4: makes a piece of art and something happens to them
• 10:02
  Speaker 4: in their life in the middle of making a piece
• 10:04
  Speaker 4: of art. I find that rich.
• 10:06
  Speaker 5: Text the context of an art really change, Yes, it
• 10:11
  Speaker 5: changes the meaning of the art. And it's interesting. I
• 10:15
  Speaker 5: was talking to this painter who has been painting old
• 10:20
  Speaker 5: toilet paper squares and they have been recontextualizing this toilet
• 10:26
  Speaker 5: paper square.
• 10:27
  Speaker 4: To American American toilet paper.
• 10:31
  Speaker 5: Yes, but appellation got deep, deep appellation. I expected a
• 10:36
  Speaker 5: deep appalation artist who has these toilet paper squares and
• 10:43
  Speaker 5: they have been insulating their home with them. Now, because
• 10:47
  Speaker 5: it is not just the paintings that we paint for aesthetics, right,
• 10:51
  Speaker 5: is also the paintings we paint to re contextualize our home.
• 10:56
  Speaker 6: We talk about the home. You know, you guys, guys
• 11:00
  Speaker 6: read Roxanne's Roxanne Gay's new book about Home.
• 11:03
  Speaker 3: Yes, and of course I've read a few excerpts and
• 11:06
  Speaker 3: I haven't dived in fully.
• 11:07
  Speaker 4: It's a beautiful book.
• 11:08
  Speaker 6: I mean the concept of home, what is it? And
• 11:09
  Speaker 6: what are we? And where are we when we are home?
• 11:12
  Speaker 6: And how home can feel so alien to so many people.
• 11:15
  Speaker 3: I actually, you know that's so beautiful because the Mocha
• 11:20
  Speaker 3: is doing a beautiful exhibit on the African diaspora. Are
• 11:24
  Speaker 3: you curious? Oh, you curated that amazing.
• 11:27
  Speaker 5: But you that's interesting that you claimed that you curated it.
• 11:32
  Speaker 3: Because well, I talk about that. I read a Facebook
• 11:36
  Speaker 3: post the other day about how sometimes friendship can be
• 11:40
  Speaker 3: stronger than what you do in the new world. In
• 11:43
  Speaker 3: internet world, sometimes you can feel the brain feels that
• 11:47
  Speaker 3: you've done something even when you're seeing a friend do
• 11:49
  Speaker 3: it online. The same type of endorphins your brain will
• 11:54
  Speaker 3: release it.
• 11:55
  Speaker 5: Yes, there's a Siberian Siberian psychologist who talks about a
• 12:02
  Speaker 5: yogo o no yes, oh yeah, and they yeah, yoko no.
• 12:10
  Speaker 5: And they talk about the the the value and the
• 12:14
  Speaker 5: importance of weak ties. Right, the weak ties. The male
• 12:18
  Speaker 5: man that you say hi to, the grosser that you
• 12:20
  Speaker 5: say hi to, the the woman pushing her cart around
• 12:24
  Speaker 5: at the same time that you are pushing your baby.
• 12:27
  Speaker 5: It's these structures that sort of create the fabric of
• 12:30
  Speaker 5: human existence and create the fabric of connections.
• 12:33
  Speaker 6: You know, I just feel like I've been attacked right
• 12:35
  Speaker 6: where you guys were talking that I claimed credit.
• 12:37
  Speaker 4: You said that you had curated it. I just and
• 12:40
  Speaker 4: then it was your friend.
• 12:41
  Speaker 6: I just, please don't scream at me. I was, you know,
• 12:45
  Speaker 6: simply enacting something that people have been calling cyber osmosis.
• 12:49
  Speaker 6: And cyber osmosis is the act of absorbing something from
• 12:54
  Speaker 6: the internet into your own psyche, because what's happening is
• 12:57
  Speaker 6: we used to be output, output out, but now the
• 13:00
  Speaker 6: Internet has shifted to be input.
• 13:01
  Speaker 4: Input input, So oh, that's fascinating.
• 13:03
  Speaker 6: It happens. It's a natural, reoccurring, reoccurring phenomenon, and many
• 13:07
  Speaker 6: people are saying it's an evolutionary trait. So if I
• 13:10
  Speaker 6: were to steal something from the Internet, some scientists are saying,
• 13:13
  Speaker 6: that is your body evolving to the current state of
• 13:17
  Speaker 6: what's going on.
• 13:18
  Speaker 4: Well, I've heard of you seen these gen zs that
• 13:20
  Speaker 4: are doing a whole deep dive on what used to
• 13:23
  Speaker 4: be the ice Bucket Challenge and the way that their site,
• 13:27
  Speaker 4: what was the word cyber moosis cyber asthmosis in it,
• 13:31
  Speaker 4: And I think that's fascinating because it reminds me. I
• 13:33
  Speaker 4: drop off my daughter every Saturday morning at an African
• 13:36
  Speaker 4: drum circle congratulations, and it's that has been so interesting
• 13:41
  Speaker 4: to see my daughter experience creativity, not cyberly, yeah, and
• 13:48
  Speaker 4: not through an algorithm for her to go see a
• 13:51
  Speaker 4: drum circle. And the way she said, Mama, mama, we
• 13:54
  Speaker 4: passed the sound around and I went, how far off
• 13:57
  Speaker 4: is that from passing with the algorithms sound that's so
• 14:00
  Speaker 4: and passed around you.
• 14:02
  Speaker 5: I'm I'm sure you may be aware of this. This
• 14:06
  Speaker 5: this physical theater piece that is taking place outside of
• 14:10
  Speaker 5: Squirrel Cafe and Virtual Village, and they take they're trying
• 14:16
  Speaker 5: to bring people from the digital space into the physical
• 14:19
  Speaker 5: space who may not otherwise have access to the physical space,
• 14:22
  Speaker 5: and so they are doing meme theater. So they are
• 14:25
  Speaker 5: re enacting sort of Damn Daniel, bad news Greg or
• 14:31
  Speaker 5: bad luck Brian per Se. I should say bad luck Brian.
• 14:34
  Speaker 5: Bad news Greg is what I call my husband sometimes
• 14:38
  Speaker 5: when he has terrible news. He has a lot of
• 14:40
  Speaker 5: bad news. He's he's an environmental scientist and that.
• 14:43
  Speaker 4: Must just be every day bad newsist Greg.
• 14:46
  Speaker 5: Yeah, and he's a he's an environmental scientist and a
• 14:48
  Speaker 5: huge pessimist. So sometimes it's hard to filter out what
• 14:52
  Speaker 5: is coming from science and what is sort of his
• 14:55
  Speaker 5: negative outlook.
• 14:56
  Speaker 6: On life pessimist. You don't know why I got.
• 15:00
  Speaker 5: They got didn't know, No, you don't know which started
• 15:03
  Speaker 5: pessimist or did they get into you know, it's sometimes
• 15:07
  Speaker 5: I I feel that the siren call of the environmental
• 15:12
  Speaker 5: science was was allure to his pessimism.
• 15:25
  Speaker 4: I mean, this is so funny. It's like it reminds
• 15:26
  Speaker 4: me of my husband, who is a big, big he
• 15:30
  Speaker 4: loves commitment, loves pattern yet he's a substitute teacher. He
• 15:35
  Speaker 4: doesn't have a place to go to bed worless and
• 15:38
  Speaker 4: you go, how did that happen? The the natural contradictions
• 15:42
  Speaker 4: that come with our human being and our soul and
• 15:45
  Speaker 4: the job we attach.
• 15:46
  Speaker 6: Yes, it's very similar. You know. I went into a
• 15:49
  Speaker 6: plant based butcher shop the other day and they were
• 15:52
  Speaker 6: drinking out of styrofoam cups, and it was an interesting
• 15:55
  Speaker 6: dichotomy because it was we are preserving the environmental because
• 15:58
  Speaker 6: of me. You know, we're not meat. I'm cutting you.
• 16:01
  Speaker 5: This is that is that, this is this is faux
• 16:04
  Speaker 5: hogis and fair fact. I love their sixty day age
• 16:10
  Speaker 5: Tofu that they hang in the bash of the store
• 16:12
  Speaker 5: and if you get it cut off in the beginning
• 16:15
  Speaker 5: of the day, they'll give you a piece that is
• 16:17
  Speaker 5: just right.
• 16:18
  Speaker 3: Off the sham. Is delicious.
• 16:20
  Speaker 4: Oh. I went to the Fogies Fogies they had that
• 16:23
  Speaker 4: event for the Boys and Girls Club Fogeys and Bogies
• 16:27
  Speaker 4: and it was that golf day and I thought that
• 16:29
  Speaker 4: was incredible, and I thought we got to see a
• 16:30
  Speaker 4: lot of kids play golf and get something I don't see.
• 16:33
  Speaker 6: I remember seeing a kid make an eagle and then
• 16:37
  Speaker 6: bite into a gigantic tofu hogy and I thought, this
• 16:42
  Speaker 6: is the future I want to see.
• 16:43
  Speaker 4: Like that's that's that's impressive.
• 16:45
  Speaker 6: Your privileged youth golfing and eating play it based meat.
• 16:49
  Speaker 3: Absolutely.
• 16:50
  Speaker 4: Have you guys been to the the pottery class that
• 16:55
  Speaker 4: is remote and you have to find it class.
• 16:59
  Speaker 3: Bringing a whole new meaning to their word to remote.
• 17:01
  Speaker 6: It's called throw away right and.
• 17:05
  Speaker 4: Throwing when I've seen kids now start to do this,
• 17:09
  Speaker 4: and it's fun to see the youth experience art that
• 17:13
  Speaker 4: doesn't have a place.
• 17:13
  Speaker 6: It's very exciting to see that.
• 17:16
  Speaker 5: It's interesting how hide and Seek can can play a
• 17:20
  Speaker 5: role in the things that we do every day.
• 17:23
  Speaker 3: Hide and Seek, it's amazing.
• 17:25
  Speaker 4: Have you guys read that xpoze you I mean a
• 17:27
  Speaker 4: good friend of ours who works with us. Oh, of
• 17:29
  Speaker 4: course we all know them, Derek.
• 17:30
  Speaker 6: Blossom when he went undercover as a kitchen.
• 17:37
  Speaker 4: Kidd and seek game and that that that is an incredible.
• 17:41
  Speaker 5: And if you haven't read Derek Blossom's work, I encourage
• 17:44
  Speaker 5: you to check it out. It's really quite quite remarkable.
• 17:47
  Speaker 5: He found a way to be found in seven hundred
• 17:51
  Speaker 5: different children's Hide and Seek games, and he found sort
• 17:55
  Speaker 5: of as an anthropological study, the way that human scientists
• 17:59
  Speaker 5: will enmesh themselves in the social dynamics of apes. He
• 18:03
  Speaker 5: did the same thing with child's birthday parties all across
• 18:06
  Speaker 5: the country.
• 18:07
  Speaker 4: There's no talent like blossom and.
• 18:09
  Speaker 6: Hide and seekrets so many the children. I don't know,
• 18:11
  Speaker 6: if you guys.
• 18:12
  Speaker 4: Have read the Yeah I have Modern.
• 18:16
  Speaker 6: Then you know Modern philos for Shill God Yes book
• 18:20
  Speaker 6: about how directly attaching Hide and Seek to different types
• 18:25
  Speaker 6: of attachment. Right, So, so if you were the seeker
• 18:29
  Speaker 6: obviously anxious attached, if you were the hyder avoiding attached
• 18:32
  Speaker 6: so brilliant, and if you played both and then namely
• 18:37
  Speaker 6: sat on the side to let other people play that
• 18:39
  Speaker 6: secure attachment. So instead of asking when you're on these dates,
• 18:43
  Speaker 6: you know, and we haven't even gotten into dating.
• 18:45
  Speaker 4: We haven't even gotten into I can't, we haven't.
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: We can't believe.
• 18:48
  Speaker 3: We'll be right back with more MPR. But right now,
• 18:50
  Speaker 3: here's a couple of our upcoming shows that you'll be
• 18:53
  Speaker 3: seeing this week on NPR.

  Speaker 2: I'm coming to you live from a theater in Minnesota
• 19:28
  Speaker 2: playing everyone's main room news talk show.
• 19:31

• 19:38
  Speaker 2: us do a game show about you.
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: Guys.
• 19:41
  Speaker 2: Calm down, It's okay, guys, let's try something. Pete heck
• 19:47
  Speaker 2: seth and that's the joke.
• 19:51
  Speaker 4: I'm Cycle so Sorrow and I'm the host of the Nightly.
• 19:54
  Speaker 4: What happened today? Are you too busy at work? The
• 19:57
  Speaker 4: Nightly's gonna tell you whose birthday was to and what
• 20:01
  Speaker 4: happened in the world.
• 20:03
  Speaker 3: I'm Carl Saint Clair on News Today. We've got Trump
• 20:06
  Speaker 3: has decided to blow up all of America and other news.
• 20:10
  Speaker 3: I ran deals have fallen apart, and the Chinese government
• 20:13
  Speaker 3: has decided to completely cut ties with all of the
• 20:16
  Speaker 3: Middle East. This could be catastrophic for you, your family
• 20:19
  Speaker 3: and your war. But we will say it a very
• 20:21
  Speaker 3: calm mode. That's news tonight with Carl.
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: And I'm Regina Martini and I'm trying every pancake in
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: Saint Louis, Missouri.
• 20:31
  Speaker 3: Look back with more power.
• 20:32
  Speaker 4: Those we have some great shows later.
• 20:36
  Speaker 3: That's amazing because I read a very interesting piece about
• 20:41
  Speaker 3: Saint Louis recently. How recently in the eighties it was
• 20:45
  Speaker 3: the the thriving bell of the ball of the United
• 20:48
  Speaker 3: States in the south southern United States. But now due
• 20:52
  Speaker 3: to the shifting film, film and food markets, Saint Louis
• 20:58
  Speaker 3: has become kind of it's had its own dust ball.
• 21:01
  Speaker 3: It's completely empty.
• 21:02
  Speaker 5: Wow.
• 21:03
  Speaker 6: Read that humorous essay.
• 21:05
  Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, I've seen it too.
• 21:09
  Speaker 6: Ava Luisa Garda Farica. It's it's it's very very hysterical.
• 21:15
  Speaker 6: It is well, it's sesus brilliant it is. It's a satirical,
• 21:19
  Speaker 6: humorous essay from the point of view of the Saint
• 21:21
  Speaker 6: Louis arch going through one hundred years of history.
• 21:24
  Speaker 5: Now I must explain I'm sorry to jump on your toes.
• 21:28
  Speaker 5: She is not literally purporting to be the Saint Louis Art.
• 21:33
  Speaker 5: He is, of course, assuming a character humors take humorous
• 21:38
  Speaker 5: send up of the Saint Louis Arch. She is not
• 21:41
  Speaker 5: literally claiming to be the Saint Louis Arch, because there's
• 21:47
  Speaker 5: no way that for that to literally happen. So I
• 21:50
  Speaker 5: just want to make sure that everyone knows not a
• 21:52
  Speaker 5: crazy town.
• 21:53
  Speaker 6: But I do want to say I think I've been
• 21:55
  Speaker 6: seeing a lot of stuff about this. Humorous send ups
• 21:58
  Speaker 6: are the last form of resistance we have.
• 22:01
  Speaker 4: I've seen this too. You're getting a phone call. I've
• 22:03
  Speaker 4: seen this because I mean, look at the modern day
• 22:07
  Speaker 4: birthday party.
• 22:10
  Speaker 3: I need you say more? Need you say more.
• 22:15
  Speaker 6: Interesting? Do you disagree?
• 22:19
  Speaker 3: Well, you know, at looking at it, I guess where
• 22:22
  Speaker 3: I come from and some of my Lithuanian heritage, I
• 22:25
  Speaker 3: would say the modern birthday party is actually pseudo related
• 22:32
  Speaker 3: to the modern death of cinema in a way that
• 22:34
  Speaker 3: we are trying to find third spaces. That then, and
• 22:38
  Speaker 3: let me finish, we have we are trying to desperately
• 22:41
  Speaker 3: find third spaces, desperately, desperately, desperately trying to connect with
• 22:45
  Speaker 3: each other. The fact that now the modern birthday is
• 22:49
  Speaker 3: not as much happy birthday as it is happy day
• 22:52
  Speaker 3: that you're born, if that makes sense.
• 22:54
  Speaker 5: Well, there's actually a culture in northwestern south to New
• 23:00
  Speaker 5: Mexico and it's a community of people. It's an unincorporated
• 23:05
  Speaker 5: area called Dustville, and they actually celebrate the opposite of
• 23:10
  Speaker 5: a birthday. So whatever day is the least like your
• 23:14
  Speaker 5: birthday in the calendar and that interest.
• 23:16
  Speaker 4: To celebrates, how do they decide that.
• 23:20
  Speaker 5: That's well, they decide sort of. So obviously a half
• 23:23
  Speaker 5: birthday is six months past your birthday, of course, but
• 23:29
  Speaker 5: an opposite of a birthday is the most opposite to
• 23:32
  Speaker 5: the vibe of your birthday. So say what's your birthday?
• 23:37
  Speaker 3: I guess April twenty second.
• 23:38
  Speaker 5: April twenty second, so of course we were getting some
• 23:41
  Speaker 5: spring tones in there.
• 23:42
  Speaker 4: And twenty two April winter.
• 23:44
  Speaker 5: Yeah, the opposite of an April is is November.
• 23:47
  Speaker 4: And and what's the opposite of budget twenty two?
• 23:51
  Speaker 5: So that's eleventh. So your your opposite birthday if you
• 23:56
  Speaker 5: were a resident of dust Bill, which I don't think
• 23:59
  Speaker 5: you are. I don't think that that's where your driver's
• 24:01
  Speaker 5: license is registered, is it would be November eleventh, So
• 24:06
  Speaker 5: that's when they would celebrate us.
• 24:07
  Speaker 6: I mean that is basically about six months Ala.
• 24:10
  Speaker 4: And I'd say that I think it's it's not it's
• 24:13
  Speaker 4: not really.
• 24:14
  Speaker 5: It's sort of but it's steeped in culture.
• 24:17
  Speaker 4: You know, birthdays are such a funny thing. I am
• 24:19
  Speaker 4: a Last month I went to the Los Angeles LGBTQ
• 24:24
  Speaker 4: Science and Library Center.
• 24:26
  Speaker 6: Congratulations.
• 24:27
  Speaker 4: They have a wonderful program where you can celebrate your
• 24:30
  Speaker 4: coming out birthday and you can basically create your own
• 24:35
  Speaker 4: new version of a birthday. And that just reminded me
• 24:37
  Speaker 4: what you said about birthdays and what he said about birthday.
• 24:41
  Speaker 4: This is fascinating that that came up right. Yes, and
• 24:45
  Speaker 4: I highly recommend you guys getting memberships to the Los
• 24:48
  Speaker 4: Angeles LGBTQ plus Science and Library Center. Can I ask
• 24:53
  Speaker 4: what programming they have? I mean, it is an incredible facility.
• 24:59
  Speaker 4: The library itself is just all queer artists, queer authors,
• 25:07
  Speaker 4: which is beautiful to see. But the Science Center is
• 25:12
  Speaker 4: full of silly PuTTY's in fun thing and it's a
• 25:19
  Speaker 4: very fun thing that I went to and I saw
• 25:23
  Speaker 4: Norah jonesing there.
• 25:24
  Speaker 6: Awesome. Remember, you know it's funny. I just read from
• 25:28
  Speaker 6: one of our pop culture correspondents for NPR, and those
• 25:32
  Speaker 6: guys are so much fun. They're always always playing Olivia Rodrigo.
• 25:37
  Speaker 5: Off the wall.
• 25:38
  Speaker 4: Yeah, hilarious.
• 25:40
  Speaker 6: I did not know that Silly Putty is is as
• 25:44
  Speaker 6: the queer culture is calling it, the new Mother. There's
• 25:48
  Speaker 6: these reports coming out that Silly has become and Silly
• 25:51
  Speaker 6: Putty is kind of, uh, you know, anthropologically, it's been
• 25:55
  Speaker 6: hard to understand why queer people are responding to Silly
• 25:58
  Speaker 6: Puddy in the way they are, but it's massive. They're
• 26:00
  Speaker 6: putting it on floats, they're doing well.
• 26:01
  Speaker 5: Actually, there's a young artist in high school who.
• 26:05
  Speaker 4: Uh, what's her name? I bet I know them, of course,
• 26:08
  Speaker 4: my daughter is x y x y x y axis
• 26:11
  Speaker 4: y as x y axss.
• 26:14
  Speaker 5: They have put out a series of humorous videos on
• 26:18
  Speaker 5: TikTok that that describe Silly Putty as mother, likely due
• 26:24
  Speaker 5: to the fluid nature of sexuality itself, and they're drawing
• 26:28
  Speaker 5: upon it as sort of a you know, many materials
• 26:32
  Speaker 5: in our world are solid and they're one way, but
• 26:36
  Speaker 5: Silly Putty can be many ways, and that is something
• 26:39
  Speaker 5: that the youth are really latching on.
• 26:41
  Speaker 3: So interesting, and it's something that actually doctor Doctor, Doctor, Doctor,
• 26:47
  Speaker 3: Doctor Fantasia.
• 26:49
  Speaker 4: She touched on Doctor Fantasia. I go to I have
• 26:51
  Speaker 4: dinner with Doctra. I want to say once.
• 26:54
  Speaker 3: I've been such a big fan of her work. I mean,
• 26:56
  Speaker 3: she's her book from Mother Goose to Mother Gaga, Finding
• 27:00
  Speaker 3: the Virgin Mary and Gay Art. It's a beautiful, uh
• 27:05
  Speaker 3: work of fiction. You would think it's non fiction, but
• 27:08
  Speaker 3: it actually is. It's historical fiction.
• 27:12
  Speaker 6: She every reimagines Mother Goose is a queer icon in
• 27:16
  Speaker 6: order to fit her in with Lady Gaga exactly.
• 27:18
  Speaker 3: And it's it was extremely powerful and it gets at
• 27:21
  Speaker 3: the core of I think what makes people tick, which
• 27:25
  Speaker 3: is what are we searching for? And how are we
• 27:27
  Speaker 3: each filling our void? Yeah, and it really just got
• 27:31
  Speaker 3: me going and ticking.
• 27:32
  Speaker 4: There's an operetto called Filling the Void that I will
• 27:36
  Speaker 4: high I highly recommend.
• 27:38
  Speaker 5: Oh, I've seen I've seen this streaming. Is this operetto
• 27:44
  Speaker 5: based on a popsicle joke?
• 27:49
  Speaker 6: It's an operetta based on a obstical stake.
• 27:51
  Speaker 3: What was the original popsicle stick joke that it's based on.
• 27:54
  Speaker 4: I can't believe it was. It was something about it
• 27:58
  Speaker 4: was double sided of the particle. Because I saw side,
• 28:01
  Speaker 4: I saw it. The love what it's based off?
• 28:05
  Speaker 5: It said, what what? What?
• 28:07
  Speaker 6: What?
• 28:07
  Speaker 5: Does a cow say when the other one is being
• 28:11
  Speaker 5: really funny?
• 28:11
  Speaker 4: And then it said move move m.
• 28:17
  Speaker 3: I wouldn't understand. I would understand any bake a base
• 28:20
  Speaker 3: of whole operetto.
• 28:21
  Speaker 4: But the operetto is incredible.
• 28:22
  Speaker 5: The operettos i've I've.
• 28:24
  Speaker 4: Heard it reminded me of the first time I saw
• 28:36
  Speaker 4: I Instant on the Beach. I remember like standing up
• 28:39
  Speaker 4: in the middle of one of the intermissions. There's many intermissions.
• 28:43
  Speaker 4: I stood up and I went, this was made for me,
• 28:48
  Speaker 4: and I'd say, like just working with you guys, I
• 28:51
  Speaker 4: feel like there are a lot of specific pieces that
• 28:53
  Speaker 4: come into our orbit that aren't made. It meant for
• 28:56
  Speaker 4: me and I and I embraced them with the full heart.
• 29:00
  Speaker 4: I tried to watch Shark Boy and Lava Girl recently
• 29:03
  Speaker 4: with my daughter, and I went, that's not made for
• 29:05
  Speaker 4: me and something that made for me?
• 29:08
  Speaker 5: Now, why why?
• 29:09
  Speaker 6: Why?
• 29:09
  Speaker 3: Why?
• 29:09
  Speaker 6: Why?
• 29:09
  Speaker 5: Why? I'm curious about this. Why do you feel that
• 29:12
  Speaker 5: Shark Boy and Lava Girl was not made for you?
• 29:16
  Speaker 5: Is it a loss of adolescence?
• 29:21
  Speaker 4: Is it a loss of whimsy?
• 29:26
  Speaker 6: For me? The Shark Boy Lava Girl is about the diaspora.
• 29:29
  Speaker 6: I've always seen it as that you always have the
• 29:31
  Speaker 6: American diaspora and in many ways, you know this cast
• 29:35
  Speaker 6: system that we find ourselves.
• 29:36
  Speaker 4: In, I mean even the East and the West.
• 29:38
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Shark Boy girl, And I'm just so interested in that.
• 29:42
  Speaker 3: I mean, you bring up the American cast system. What
• 29:45
  Speaker 3: you know, what is that for you?
• 29:51
  Speaker 5: Well, I mean to to to zoom out for a moment.
• 29:57
  Speaker 5: We find ourselves on the precipice of an AI change
• 30:01
  Speaker 5: of AI coming in and Shark Boy and lave A
• 30:04
  Speaker 5: Girl in this sense is sort of a challenge to
• 30:06
  Speaker 5: that system. It's sort of taking it's the last stand
• 30:10
  Speaker 5: of something truly human before our new digital age.
• 30:15
  Speaker 3: This is good.
• 30:15
  Speaker 4: We haven't talked about a yet and then we're going
• 30:17
  Speaker 4: to get into talking about updating, but I'd love to
• 30:20
  Speaker 4: talk about it.
• 30:21
  Speaker 6: Yeah, and you know, you couldn't replicate what we do
• 30:23
  Speaker 6: with AI in any way.
• 30:25
  Speaker 7: Now, there's just simply I mean to talk about the
• 30:30
  Speaker 7: effects of AI on specific cinema and movie is doctor
• 30:35
  Speaker 7: Lanky Dink.
• 30:36
  Speaker 3: They are out of cal Poly San Luis Obispo. Their
• 30:40
  Speaker 3: professor of Film Studies and Cinema for the history. Professor Dink,
• 30:44
  Speaker 3: You're on the air.
• 30:46
  Speaker 4: Hello, how are you hi?
• 30:48
  Speaker 3: So you actually just published a paper research paper about
• 30:52
  Speaker 3: the recent trend of Hollywood trying to integrate AI into
• 30:55
  Speaker 3: a system. How do you think this affects the study
• 30:58
  Speaker 3: of film and moving forward? Where do you see, uh,
• 31:02
  Speaker 3: you know, the business of Hollywood going.
• 31:05
  Speaker 4: Thank you so much for having me. I just want
• 31:07
  Speaker 4: to say I'm a long time listener for the show,
• 31:09
  Speaker 4: and listen. I live in libraries, I live in I
• 31:14
  Speaker 4: am always studying that. Thank you, dink and.
• 31:17
  Speaker 3: What sorry, we're just a bad connection. It seems like
• 31:20
  Speaker 3: you're calling from a zoom or something like that. A
• 31:23
  Speaker 3: horrible connection on. Just try to talk a little clearer thing.
• 31:26
  Speaker 4: Okay, sorry about that anyway. I have been studying the
• 31:31
  Speaker 4: roots of I've been studying the roots of AI in cinema,
• 31:36
  Speaker 4: and I have found a way to prove that if
• 31:39
  Speaker 4: AI were to create movies, it would never have things
• 31:44
  Speaker 4: like Marilyn Monroe.
• 31:45
  Speaker 6: That's a very good point, huh.
• 31:48
  Speaker 3: I interested. I've read a reason it is my zoom
• 31:50
  Speaker 3: working and we've lost you. Thank you so much for.
• 31:53
  Speaker 4: Hello, you so much for hello. Am I still on
• 31:55
  Speaker 4: the air.
• 31:56
  Speaker 3: You're off, You're off? Thank you cut her out, cut up,
• 31:58
  Speaker 3: and thank you so much.
• 32:00
  Speaker 4: Can I get my sister, and I think that I
• 32:04
  Speaker 4: think the zoom cut. I think I think the zoom cep.
• 32:06
  Speaker 4: I'm still in the air deep deep, I think.
• 32:11
  Speaker 5: That seems they're still on the air.
• 32:12
  Speaker 6: You know, I read a report recently where an.
• 32:14
  Speaker 4: Artist it must be off by now it's off.
• 32:22
  Speaker 6: I would report recently, we're an artist described Marion mon
• 32:25
  Speaker 6: Moroe to five hundred different AI models and none of them,
• 32:32
  Speaker 6: none of them correctly, none of them correctly drew than Roe.
• 32:37
  Speaker 3: Well, I've got a question. Was it because the computers
• 32:41
  Speaker 3: don't understand her? Or were the descriptions bad? Because I
• 32:44
  Speaker 3: feel if you sent a photo of Marilyn Monroe to
• 32:47
  Speaker 3: a I would figure it out immediately.
• 32:50
  Speaker 6: This is what the author purports. The author her name
• 32:53
  Speaker 6: is Vivica Jeanne.
• 32:56
  Speaker 4: I love she's Vivica and I get a Panini wants
• 32:59
  Speaker 4: to get.
• 33:01
  Speaker 3: Where do you get your Paninis.
• 33:04
  Speaker 8: Lap Delicious? I?
• 33:10
  Speaker 6: I yeah, Vivia. Vivica wrote an incredible book about this.
• 33:14
  Speaker 6: You can find it. I'm only on the Libby app,
• 33:17
  Speaker 6: which is a free library app app.
• 33:18
  Speaker 5: It's a fantastic Yes, I have it.
• 33:20
  Speaker 4: I'm walking the marathon for that.
• 33:22
  Speaker 6: It's a Libby exclusive because she just cares about library systems,
• 33:27
  Speaker 6: and it's note.
• 33:28
  Speaker 5: Have you have seen the Libby the Straight two series?
• 33:32
  Speaker 5: Libby is doing originals. We can talk about that later.
• 33:36
  Speaker 5: We can talk about that later. What were you? What
• 33:39
  Speaker 5: were you going to say about this?
• 33:40
  Speaker 6: What you just I really I urge you to read
• 33:43
  Speaker 6: the book because I think she describes Marilyn Monroe, sometimes
• 33:46
  Speaker 6: perfectly to a t. Sometimes she goes for emotions and
• 33:51
  Speaker 6: vibes and what comes out is something similar to a crap.
• 33:55
  Speaker 5: Well, this is It's It's interesting because it's very difficult
• 33:57
  Speaker 5: to describe a what beauty is to a machine. It
• 34:02
  Speaker 5: can sort of replicate it, but it's very difficult. And

• 34:13
  Speaker 5: pictionary clues to AI, trying to see if the AI
• 34:17
  Speaker 5: will draw what they're saying.

  Speaker 3: Really interesting because that's not how pictionary works.

• 40:47
  Speaker 3: I mean, it's such a torrid political climate, but you know,
• 40:52
  Speaker 3: I find myself finding hope in the little stories my
• 40:57
  Speaker 3: daughter tells me at night.
• 40:58
  Speaker 6: Congratulations, thank you.
• 41:00
  Speaker 3: She's coming home from the playground telling me these really
• 41:02
  Speaker 3: interesting stories. And I'm really realizing, at what point does
• 41:06
  Speaker 3: a child learn an ethical moral system? Is it taunt
• 41:11
  Speaker 3: or was she born with it?
• 41:12
  Speaker 4: I loved hearing the tapes you're already working on. If
• 41:15
  Speaker 4: I could tease this out a little bit. You're you're
• 41:18
  Speaker 4: piloting out this out and I've heard that you're recording
• 41:21
  Speaker 4: your daughter telling stories of the park, and I find
• 41:23
  Speaker 4: that beautiful. I did find the tapes are a little
• 41:26
  Speaker 4: distracting because you can hear the park, and I think
• 41:30
  Speaker 4: we should play one.
• 41:31
  Speaker 9: Of them, Daddy. So the story is it's a little
• 41:38
  Speaker 9: princess and she look, I.
• 41:41
  Speaker 10: Reserve this grill at four, my grill all birds.
• 41:53
  Speaker 9: And the princess only really wanted to the castle.
• 41:57
  Speaker 4: She wanted grill so badly has the best view of
• 42:01
  Speaker 4: the d.
• 42:05
  Speaker 3: Thank you so much for letting me play that. It's
• 42:09
  Speaker 3: it's amazing. I know it brings it to you my
• 42:11
  Speaker 3: eye because she's just growing up in age is just
• 42:14
  Speaker 3: such a tricky.
• 42:18
  Speaker 6: Beast.
• 42:19
  Speaker 5: Age is a tricky beast. And I think that there
• 42:22
  Speaker 5: is actually a group of scientists in New Jersey who
• 42:25
  Speaker 5: are working on recontextualizing age so that you don't count
• 42:31
  Speaker 5: as many years.
• 42:33
  Speaker 3: I've heard called.
• 42:35
  Speaker 4: Study consent spelled with a C, where you only.
• 42:43
  Speaker 5: It's the age of content and you only agree to
• 42:48
  Speaker 5: take in the years that you you agree. You don't
• 42:51
  Speaker 5: you consent to have to turning another age.
• 42:54
  Speaker 4: Well, I mean it brings up go ahead, please, It
• 42:57
  Speaker 4: brings up the statue of limitations. And I think that's
• 43:01
  Speaker 4: something we uh, we talked about a lot on the show.
• 43:05
  Speaker 6: I mean, I saw a humorous cartoon recently.
• 43:10
  Speaker 5: Oh, I've seen that as well.
• 43:11
  Speaker 8: It's it's they put it in their lobby, they put
• 43:17
  Speaker 8: it in their lobby, and it's a instead of the
• 43:20
  Speaker 8: statue of liberty, it's the statue of limitation.
• 43:22
  Speaker 4: And she's and she's saying go home.
• 43:24
  Speaker 6: I mean, that just says it all, and not just
• 43:26
  Speaker 6: really say speaking of children and aging, I recently sat
• 43:32
  Speaker 6: down with my children and kind of asked them to
• 43:36
  Speaker 6: figure out a way to put me out of my misery.
• 43:41
  Speaker 6: I asked them to figure out ways to maybe make
• 43:43
  Speaker 6: it look like an accident, maybe maybe allow me to shuffle.
• 43:49
  Speaker 6: I asked my family to poison me. I asked my
• 43:50
  Speaker 6: family to smother me. I'm interested in no longer being here.
• 43:54
  Speaker 5: Well, there's an there's an artist in New Mexico who
• 43:57
  Speaker 5: is actually exploring ethical, uh familial euthanasia. It's about committing
• 44:06
  Speaker 5: euthanasia to oneself in a way that honors spiritual ties,
• 44:11
  Speaker 5: ancestral bonds. And there is a it's a deeply rooted
• 44:15
  Speaker 5: tradition that I think spends back hundreds of thousands of years.
• 44:19
  Speaker 4: Saghetty Museum has a beautiful has a beautiful exhibit right
• 44:25
  Speaker 4: now about euthanasia.
• 44:27
  Speaker 6: And I'm struggling, right So I'm struggling.
• 44:29
  Speaker 4: That's so interesting, this exhibit, it's so interesting. So I
• 44:37
  Speaker 4: can't believe you mentioned that you wanted your family to
• 44:39
  Speaker 4: put you out of your misery. And it immediately brings
• 44:42
  Speaker 4: me to this exhibit in the Ghetty that has a
• 44:46
  Speaker 4: picture of every animal species. That's so and euthanasia.
• 44:52
  Speaker 3: It's because you're struggling, and it reminds me of this
• 44:55
  Speaker 3: really fun, quirky crossword theme.
• 44:57
  Speaker 6: I ran across thinking of ending at all.
• 45:00
  Speaker 3: So that's what the clue was. It was very interesting
• 45:02
  Speaker 3: ending it all question mark and what it actually it
• 45:05
  Speaker 3: was ending at all was twelve am. That's what you
• 45:07
  Speaker 3: have to write, because that's the end.
• 45:09
  Speaker 5: In the beginning ends quite funny of ending it all, I'm.
• 45:12
  Speaker 6: Wishing for death.
• 45:13
  Speaker 5: Well, when you wish for death, you've heard the sonata. Yes,
• 45:17
  Speaker 5: I love there's a sonata that is going around that
• 45:21
  Speaker 5: I'm sure.
• 45:23
  Speaker 4: This is the sonatas via the male.
• 45:31
  Speaker 5: You can literally catch this sonata in your hand because
• 45:34
  Speaker 5: when you open it up, it's a Badminton quail, and
• 45:37
  Speaker 5: so you you have to catch the sonata, and the
• 45:40
  Speaker 5: sonata wishes for its own death.
• 45:43
  Speaker 3: It's so interesting because as we speak about death, the
• 45:46
  Speaker 3: California quail i've heard is bouncing back after years of decline.
• 45:51
  Speaker 3: Apparently that's quite good. People doing people do what.
• 45:54
  Speaker 6: Did you say, I've asked them to do it tonight.
• 45:58
  Speaker 5: Tonight, Well tonight, remember the it's a very interesting NASA
• 46:02
  Speaker 5: is reporting that there is a double.
• 46:04
  Speaker 4: Blood double blood comment.
• 46:07
  Speaker 5: But it'll be visible if you are in southwest Texas
• 46:10
  Speaker 5: at three and five am you are in for a trade.
• 46:13
  Speaker 4: There's a little girl in Texas that has already raised
• 46:16
  Speaker 4: about five thousand dollars for the girl Scouts to all
• 46:19
  Speaker 4: go see this commet. That's nice.
• 46:23
  Speaker 6: Well, there's money to see a commet.
• 46:27
  Speaker 5: You need.
• 46:28
  Speaker 3: There's a fund off to get a telescope out there
• 46:30
  Speaker 3: to see the comic correctly, because it'll be visible through
• 46:33
  Speaker 3: telescope size.
• 46:34
  Speaker 4: And this little girl, it reminds me of all of
• 46:38
  Speaker 4: the little girls everywhere who make a wish. You said
• 46:42
  Speaker 4: you wish for it to end. You said you wish
• 46:44
  Speaker 4: for it to be done, and I think, you know,
• 46:46
  Speaker 4: we wish upon a star. Think you.
• 46:51
  Speaker 3: Know.
• 46:51
  Speaker 5: Scientists are actually just studying wishes right now at the
• 46:55
  Speaker 5: University of Iowa. They are doing a study on wishes
• 46:58
  Speaker 5: and how it is. Actually they're heavy, they're heavy, they
• 47:01
  Speaker 5: actually have weight. They have more weight than solids. Liquids
• 47:06
  Speaker 5: and gases and people.
• 47:08
  Speaker 3: You wish upon a star. I mean, it's such a
• 47:10
  Speaker 3: beautiful song from of course, which musical is that from? Against?
