  Speaker 2: me to let me know that you also had the
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: same thing that I had.
• 2:09
  Speaker 3: I did. I you know, I want to give a
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: shout out to our boys, Sean down there and in Tulsa, Oklahoma,
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: the Sean and the Pipe Yoda, the Smoking Sounds podcast.
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: I was in town a couple months ago, and and
• 2:21
  Speaker 3: and I was I was there doing some stuff for
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: our company there, and and you know, he invited me
• 2:25
  Speaker 3: on the show. Had an absolute blast with him and
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: just got to kind of talk about all the stupid
• 2:31
  Speaker 3: shit we talked about, you know, music, cigars, old school
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: pro wrestling, you name it, we talked about it. I
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: got into it, had a great time. And as we
• 2:40
  Speaker 3: were leaving, you know, we talked about being on your
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: podcast and and all the things we had kind of
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: shared with you guys. And then he said, you know, hey,
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: by the way have you Have you talked to Jim
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: And I said, no, not really in a minute, and
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: and he kind of laid out what was going on.
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: And I knew you were going through something, but you
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: were obviously staying a little vague for the purposes of
• 2:58
  Speaker 3: making sure that you got through what you needed to
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: get through. And so he told me, and it was like,
• 3:03
  Speaker 3: you could have you could have flattened me down that
• 3:05
  Speaker 3: in that Tulsa parking lot, because it was like he
• 3:07
  Speaker 3: was telling my story from five years ago. I just
• 3:10
  Speaker 3: I was like, oh my god, I hadn't I had
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: kidney cancer. I hadn't my kidney taken out. I went
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: through these things, I went through treatments and oh, by
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: the way, last year it came back and I'm going
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: through the treatments and I'm going through this and I said, shit,
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: I'm going give them a call as soon as I leave.
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: So I did. And I just wanted you to know
• 3:25
  Speaker 3: that it's, uh, it's the road less traveled by by
• 3:28
  Speaker 3: a lot of people, but it's it's uh, it's a
• 3:31
  Speaker 3: road we're navigating and making things happen. So well, we
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: got this, we can we can match Lindsay Kidney for kidney.
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly. Well, I appreciated it because it is I mean,
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: it's not nice to know that somebody went through it,
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: but the fact that somebody had to go through it
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: and they can give you, you know, yeah, this is
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: this is normal. You know, what you're feeling here is normal.
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: What you're going through with this medicine is normal. That's
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: always a comfort. So appreciate you reaching out.
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a huge comfort to be able to reach
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: out to somebody else, you know, who's a few steps
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: farther down the road than you, and just be like, hey,
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: I'm experiencing this and you've been great to kind of
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: help Jim navigate this. So I appreciate that.
• 4:11
  Speaker 3: The biggest battle of all of that stuff is I mean,
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: obviously it's physical and obviously all those things, the biggest
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: battle that stuff is between your own ears, because your
• 4:20
  Speaker 3: brain will take you to places that you don't want
• 4:23
  Speaker 3: to go to and it will leave you there for
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: a couple of hours when you're thinking about, oh, you know,
• 4:28
  Speaker 3: what am I going to do if I die next
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: year and this and that, it's like no, no, no,
• 4:32
  Speaker 3: just just breathe, just take it one step at a time,
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: and I went. You know, here in Memphis where I live,
• 4:39
  Speaker 3: I go to a place where I get my treatments
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: and that kind of stuff, and it's called shout out
• 4:43
  Speaker 3: to the West Cancer Center. Shout out to them. And
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: when I go there, I see people who are in
• 4:48
  Speaker 3: all phases of you know, the best case scenario is
• 4:52
  Speaker 3: like myself, who come in after work and do my
• 4:55
  Speaker 3: thing and get my thing to people who are I'm
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: completely honest and and and saying this with respect. They
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: may not be to the next time I go in.
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: Six weeks, yea.
• 5:05
  Speaker 3: And you see them, and it gives you perspective, and
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: it gives you a moment to just pause and be
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: grateful and be thankful and and without pity and without
• 5:15
  Speaker 3: sorrow for for for them and all that kind of stuff,
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: because you feel it and they appreciate that you're on
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: the journey too. So it just gives you a little
• 5:22
  Speaker 3: perspective and and you just you just got to put
• 5:24
  Speaker 3: one foot in front of the other, and next thing
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: you know, it's it's years in the past and all
• 5:28
  Speaker 3: kinds of good things.
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: Are happening exactly. Yeah, and and that's what we're doing.
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: Uh feeling good, Uh, don't feel sick at all. Some
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: side effects with the medication, but that's to be expected.
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: Side effects are much better than the actual, uh problem
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: that we had. And so I'm doing great. We understand
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: that you just got good news. Back in July, I did.
• 5:51
  Speaker 3: I'd been going through about a year of treatment and
• 5:55
  Speaker 3: and it was pretty bleak. There was there was talk
• 5:58
  Speaker 3: of some pretty pretty ginormous spots on lungs back last summer.
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: UH.
• 6:02
  Speaker 3: And I got on this treatment with a great oncologist
• 6:04
  Speaker 3: and in July I got a scan that basically said
• 6:06
  Speaker 3: they can't find anything right now.
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: So that's awesome, God.
• 6:10
  Speaker 3: Bless knock on wood. You know, it's it's going well.
• 6:13
  Speaker 3: And and and I asked my on collegists what do
• 6:15
  Speaker 3: we do now? And he said, uh, is it working?
• 6:18
  Speaker 3: I said, yeah, We're not stopping.
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: I said, okay, let's just keep going exactly keep ongoing
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: exactly right.
• 6:25
  Speaker 3: So it's uh, it's good stuff. You know, there's a
• 6:28
  Speaker 3: lot of battles out there, and and some battles are
• 6:30
  Speaker 3: harder than others, but this one is is is one
• 6:33
  Speaker 3: that you know, we're still young and we still have
• 6:35
  Speaker 3: an opportunity to really really fight this thing. And we've
• 6:38
  Speaker 3: got young kids. I know you're your daughter's in high school.
• 6:40
  Speaker 3: I've got I've got two in college and I and
• 6:43
  Speaker 3: I plan on being there to see grandkids and all
• 6:46
  Speaker 3: that stuff. I plan on being I plan on being
• 6:49
  Speaker 3: that guy for a long time.
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: So yeah, absolutely, you know, and there there are much
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: worse things that could have happened to us. So absolutely
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: grateful that this is what it is and that they've
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: got treatment for it.
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: So exactly, you're sad. Stuff. We're all dying. Okay, yeah,
• 7:06
  Speaker 3: we got less organs than we have. I lost my
• 7:09
  Speaker 3: appendix years ago. Okay, god, I.
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: Mean I don't have a gall bladder. I feel so
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: left out.
• 7:16
  Speaker 3: All right, So you're missing a gall bladder. He's missing
• 7:18
  Speaker 3: a kidney. I got a kidney in an appendix. My
• 7:21
  Speaker 3: lungs are compromised. Is anybody intact? I mean, anybody, listen.
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: You're gonna if you're a child of the eighties and
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: you're now in the year twenty twenty six, you've probably
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: had some oregon go bad.
• 7:35
  Speaker 3: Oh. I mean my buddy who's my age, had a
• 7:38
  Speaker 3: rotator cuff that was just trash. He hadn't even do anything.
• 7:41
  Speaker 3: He didn't play ball, he doesn't do anything. He just
• 7:43
  Speaker 3: he's a McDonald's guy. He's got a rotator cuff injury.
• 7:45
  Speaker 3: What hell happened? So yeah, we're all messed up.
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: Uh yeah, exactly.
• 7:51
  Speaker 3: We earned it. We earned it, though, that's the difference.
• 7:53
  Speaker 3: We earned it.
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: We did earn it. We for sure earned it. But
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: like you said, we're not here to talk about sad stuff.
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: We're here to talk about the fortieth anniversary of one
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: of the identifying movies of the nineteen eighties, Ferris Bueller's
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: Day Off Lindsey. Before we jump right into the movie,
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: why don't you give us some of the deats on
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: the movie?
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: All Edie mcclurk, didn't I mean, I feel like you
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: guys didn't appreciate my eedy voice.
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: We did appreciate it, goodn't.
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna I'm going to read all of these stats
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: and everything in that voice. Oh god, joking. I'm just joking.
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: All right, Okay, So listen if you if you don't
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: know this about Ferris Bueller, I'm not sure I can
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: help you. But the writer and director John Hughes, the
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: legendary John Hughes. Release date was June eleventh, nineteen eighty six.
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: They made it on a five million dollar budget, which
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: is kind of impressive. It grossed seventy and a half
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: million dollars at the box office. Nice, that's pretty good
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: return on your investment. It got eighty five percent on
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: the Mayder Meter and ninety two percent on the Popcorn Meter. Remember,
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: the Mayder meter is what the critics thought. Popcorn meter
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: is what the viewers thought.
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: Very rarely do those match up, and so it's nice
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: to have a have a movie that matches up with
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: both of those. What do you think about that, Matt, I.
• 9:27
  Speaker 3: Think it's probably part and parcel to Cisco and Ebert
• 9:30
  Speaker 3: kissing their ass because the movie was set in Chicago.
• 9:32
  Speaker 3: That's just me.
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: I love it.
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: Okay. So the cast Matthew Broderick, Mia Saro, Alan Rock,
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: Jeffrey Jones, Jennifer Gray, Cindy Pickett, Lyman Ward, Edie McClure,
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: Charlie Sheen, and Ben Stein. Some legendary names there.
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: It is some legendary names. We'll get into that a
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: little bit.
• 9:57
  Speaker 3: At the time, necessarily they were the reason why the
• 10:00
  Speaker 3: budget was so low, as no one knew who Ben
• 10:01
  Speaker 3: Stein was the time. No one knew Charlie Sheen really
• 10:04
  Speaker 3: nobody knew, even Jeffrey Jones to some extent. I mean,
• 10:07
  Speaker 3: there was where Eadie mcclug was in every movie in
• 10:10
  Speaker 3: the eighties, but you know that was she wasn't like
• 10:12
  Speaker 3: a big starring vehicle. So I'm sure that salaries weren't
• 10:15
  Speaker 3: that much then.
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: Theyg were not for certain. I think most of it
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: was probably paid for for the setting in Chicago. Yeah,
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: all right, so we were each task to look up
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: a fun factor or more if you did for this movie.
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: We'll let our guests start first. Matt, did you find
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: any fun facts about the movie?
• 10:38
  Speaker 3: I found a few, and the one I found is that,
• 10:41
  Speaker 3: you know, with all these John Hughes movies, they were
• 10:44
  Speaker 3: filmed and I don't have the exact suburb here in
• 10:47
  Speaker 3: front of me, but all those movies that had the
• 10:49
  Speaker 3: set pieces like Farris's House were filmed in you know,
• 10:52
  Speaker 3: suburbs outside of Chicago, so you can go and visit
• 10:55
  Speaker 3: Farris's house. And the thing that struck me was that
• 10:58
  Speaker 3: was where my love ofracle drives drive you know, for
• 11:02
  Speaker 3: your for your driveway. That's where that began. I thought
• 11:05
  Speaker 3: that was the peak of you know, like like getting
• 11:09
  Speaker 3: a seven and seven in a bar like that's ooh,
• 11:11
  Speaker 3: that's classy, like a circle drive was everything and you
• 11:15
  Speaker 3: can go visit that house to this day.
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: That meant money. Yes, yes, driveway still means money to me.
• 11:22
  Speaker 3: Yes, it still does. I yeah, I remember looking at
• 11:25
  Speaker 3: my yard a few years ago, going, we put a
• 11:27
  Speaker 3: circle drive in here, and my wife said, no, no,
• 11:30
  Speaker 3: why would we do that. It's a it's a two
• 11:32
  Speaker 3: thousand square foot house.
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: No, Lindsey, what did you come up with?
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: Okay? I found that the actors that played Ferris's parents
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: fell in love in real life and were married for
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: a while.
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: Yes, they were.
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: Did you so you knew that?
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: Yes? I didn't know that.
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: It's crazy.
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: I'm going to get into that a little bit later,
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: but you're feel free to talk about whatever you want there.
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: I've been warned they fell in love while shooting the movie,
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: got married, but didn't last long. They were divorced, I
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: think by the time ninety two rolled around.
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah, they were, And I'll get to that later too.
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: I found some fun stuff on that.
• 12:13
  Speaker 3: All right.
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: So the thing that I looked up, you know, and
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: I wasn't planning on using this as my fun fact,
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: but it was so interesting that I had to. I
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: don't think I noticed this as a kid, but as
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: an adult, I'm like, what kind of parade are they at?
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: There's American flags flying everywhere. It's certainly not Fourth of
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: July because they're in school, right, It's not Memorial Day
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: because it's a school day. So I'm like, what parade?
• 12:38
  Speaker 3: I've got several call it anachronistic, but I've got several
• 12:42
  Speaker 3: notes on Okay, you have to naw down when this was.
• 12:46
  Speaker 3: It was either April or May because it was baseball season.
• 12:49
  Speaker 3: The school year wasn't over yet, right, Okay, it's got
• 12:52
  Speaker 3: to be probably closer to mid to late May because
• 12:55
  Speaker 3: it was so warm in Chicago. Hasn't happened in April? Right?
• 13:00
  Speaker 3: The parade they're wearing later Hoseen, Like, what the hell?
• 13:03
  Speaker 3: This isn't a this isn't a Sinco de Mayo parade,
• 13:06
  Speaker 3: and they're singing Daan Kashane. Everybody's losing their mind. Is
• 13:09
  Speaker 3: there a German Fest in Chicago in early May? I'm
• 13:12
  Speaker 3: not aware of. I'm not really sure that works.
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: Okay, so two things. I actually think it was April,
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: Matt and we'll talk about the weather in a few
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: minutes too. Because that's one of my nitpicks. But it's
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: actually April because Ferris is we're gonna graduate in a
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: few months, right, and so if it was May, they
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: wouldn't graduate in July. Right, They're gonna graduate in June.
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: So it's April. But here thing, they actually filmed it
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: in October, so forget that it was Octoberfest, right, right,
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: So it was not Octoberfest. It's actually a parade that's
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: called the Von Steuben Day Parade and it is a
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: real annual Chicago parade that celebrates German American heritage and
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: honoring Baron Friedrich von Steuben, the Prussian military officer who
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: helped train the Continental Army during the American Revolution.
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: I feel like this is some nonsense and that like
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: rose En Island would have come up with them.
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: It's not. So that's why you see German theme floats,
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: you know, people traditional Bavarian clothing, marching band, and lots
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: of American flags because the celebration of both of patriotic
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: celebration of German Americans contributions to the United States.
• 14:28
  Speaker 3: Maybe you think, okay, it's it's filmed in October and
• 14:32
  Speaker 3: there'll be eighty five it's it's maybe it's set in
• 14:35
  Speaker 3: October because he graduates in a few months. But then
• 14:40
  Speaker 3: that falls apart because there wouldn't be baseball in Chicago
• 14:42
  Speaker 3: in October, not for the Cubs, not in the eighties,
• 14:44
  Speaker 3: because we know the Cubs in the eighties sucked and
• 14:46
  Speaker 3: never made it to October baseball. I'll leave it at that.
• 14:48
  Speaker 3: In October nineteen eighty five. I think it's worth noting
• 14:51
  Speaker 3: that in October of nineteen eighty five, there we go,
• 14:54
  Speaker 3: there was a there was a victory the Kansas City Royals. Anyway,
• 15:00
  Speaker 3: here we go that I found a way to bring
• 15:02
  Speaker 3: that up. So it was true, and he had nine
• 15:06
  Speaker 3: days of absence from the start of the semester to October. Boy,
• 15:09
  Speaker 3: he'd be a hell of a delinquent. So it's all
• 15:12
  Speaker 3: over place.
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: Knowledge kind of think that that was Ed Rooney's point.
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: He was quite the delinquent, right.
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: So so even though the the parade really happens in Chicago,
• 15:24
  Speaker 2: they just changed it to happen, you know, in October,
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: they just changed it to happen in April. So he
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: just liked the parade scene so much that he wanted
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: to showcase that in the movie. But they just moved
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: it to April instead of October.
• 15:39
  Speaker 3: As we'll talk about with lots of nitpicks in this movie,
• 15:42
  Speaker 3: logic doesn't always have to hold.
• 15:44
  Speaker 2: So correct correct lindsay anything on the parade, I mean,
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: it's it's not a rosen Island look.
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: Like to me. The people celebrating the parade did not
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: look like they were of German descent. The whole thing
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: was convoluted to me. Okay, but it was fun. Just
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: don't overthink it. I think if we learned anything from
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: this movie, you just don't overthink.
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: It, all right, So I'm gonna I'm gonna go now
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: to the personal connection. When was the first time you
• 16:11
  Speaker 2: saw the movie and what was your reaction, Matt, You
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: go first, as the guest.
• 16:16
  Speaker 3: I saw the movie in the theater with my grandparents,
• 16:19
  Speaker 3: who I went to visit the summer I turned ten
• 16:21
  Speaker 3: in California. My grandfather was a career Navy man. He
• 16:27
  Speaker 3: was he was he was a hard ass of all
• 16:30
  Speaker 3: hard asses, and and and he did not like what
• 16:35
  Speaker 3: he referred to as this little punk's insolence. Did not.
• 16:40
  Speaker 3: As we drove away from the theater, h did not
• 16:44
  Speaker 3: let by the way we saw in a double feature
• 16:46
  Speaker 3: with Haunted Honeymoon. Oh, don't never watch that piece of crap.
• 16:51
  Speaker 3: But as we drove away, Tres Bueler was the Palate
• 16:54
  Speaker 3: Cleanser double feature movie. As we drove away, he was
• 16:58
  Speaker 3: just basically reading me the Riot Act on how that
• 17:02
  Speaker 3: little disrespectful shit shouldn't have allowed to be like that,
• 17:05
  Speaker 3: and you should never be like that and you don't understand.
• 17:07
  Speaker 3: And I was like, oh no, I don't know, crapa.
• 17:10
  Speaker 3: I kind of loved it, so I never forget that
• 17:15
  Speaker 3: that day because he was Yeah. And the funny thing
• 17:18
  Speaker 3: is if you look at the if you look at
• 17:21
  Speaker 3: the age of my grandfather, he wasn't terribly older than
• 17:24
  Speaker 3: I am now when we went and saw that. I
• 17:26
  Speaker 3: think he was like fifty two, so to think of
• 17:30
  Speaker 3: to think of maybe fifty five, whatever it was, he
• 17:33
  Speaker 3: wasn't very old to think of his feelings about that
• 17:37
  Speaker 3: and his view of that juxtaposed to how old I
• 17:40
  Speaker 3: am now watching it. You know, yesterday cracked me up.
• 17:44
  Speaker 3: That cracked me up.
• 17:45
  Speaker 2: That's awesome. What about you, Lenz.
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: Shock people or maybe not? If you know me, I
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: don't think I saw this until I met you.
• 17:53
  Speaker 2: I would be surprised if you I felt like you
• 17:55
  Speaker 2: would see I felt like you had seen it. Maybe
• 17:57
  Speaker 2: you hadn't.
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: I don't know, but he just didn't want to admit
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: to you when we were dating or first married that
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: I had never seen it. So I probably was on
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: the down load with it. But I don't think I
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: saw it until I met you.
• 18:08
  Speaker 2: What was your reaction to it?
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: I saw a lot of parallels with Ferris and Kevin
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: from home alone, like I just thought, yeah, obviously it's
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: the same, the same writer and director, because I just
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: saw a lot of the same things.
• 18:25
  Speaker 2: And in Chicago as well, and both had the circular
• 18:28
  Speaker 2: driveway as Matt talked about.
• 18:29
  Speaker 4: Yes they did, Yes they did, okay, and that plantation
• 18:33
  Speaker 4: home with four windows and a door, which was my
• 18:37
  Speaker 4: whole desire growing up, between that and the house from
• 18:40
  Speaker 4: Who's the Boss, I had to have the four windows.
• 18:44
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I'd have it.
• 18:45
  Speaker 2: Absolutely. So I cannot remember seeing this in the theater.
• 18:50
  Speaker 2: I would think I would remember that, right, and especially
• 18:53
  Speaker 2: when in eighty six eighty seven I was going to
• 18:55
  Speaker 2: the theater all time to see stuff I don't remember
• 18:58
  Speaker 2: seeing in theater. I do remember seeing it home on
• 19:00
  Speaker 2: video with the whole family. We loved it. We thought
• 19:04
  Speaker 2: it was funny, so it was good stuff. Now I'm
• 19:08
  Speaker 2: gonna ask you, Lindsay, how many times have you seen
• 19:10
  Speaker 2: this movie?
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: Probably four?
• 19:13
  Speaker 2: Okay, probably four?
• 19:14
  Speaker 3: Matt?
• 19:14
  Speaker 2: How many times have you seen this movie?
• 19:17
  Speaker 3: Without any real exaggeration, I've seen it a hundred times.
• 19:22
  Speaker 2: Okay, Wow. Both both of those answers are incorrect. The
• 19:27
  Speaker 2: correct answer is nine times.
• 19:33
  Speaker 3: I'm mad at myself for not thinking of that.
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: Now, all right, let's set us up.
• 19:38
  Speaker 2: Let's go through some of our favorite things about the movie,
• 19:43
  Speaker 2: and maybe we'll just go one at a time. Just boom,
• 19:45
  Speaker 2: boom boom if you have several of them, So Lindsay,
• 19:49
  Speaker 2: go first.
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: I just love Cameron, okay, just his character in general.
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: I loved him. My heart went out to him. I
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: was rooting for him. Matt.
• 20:01
  Speaker 3: There's so many. And the thing is I realized watching
• 20:04
  Speaker 3: this is there must be between seventy and one hundred
• 20:09
  Speaker 3: things that are said in this movie, or even little little, tiny,
• 20:13
  Speaker 3: tiny things that you wouldn't even think about that I
• 20:16
  Speaker 3: say on a weekly basis, any number of that come
• 20:21
  Speaker 3: directly from this movie. Little asides, little answers, little quips.
• 20:26
  Speaker 3: It just the more people and I could obviously do
• 20:28
  Speaker 3: the entire dialogue. As the movie was going on, I
• 20:31
  Speaker 3: could tell you the next sentence they were going to
• 20:33
  Speaker 3: say every single scene. But I didn't really realize how
• 20:37
  Speaker 3: many of those little asides I drop on somebody every
• 20:41
  Speaker 3: single week, day whatever. Yeah, it's just it's like it's
• 20:45
  Speaker 3: like my vocabulary.
• 20:46
  Speaker 2: Yes, yes, absolutely, so some of the do you have more?
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, I've got so many more. Fairest breaking
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: the fourth fourth Wall.
• 20:56
  Speaker 2: That's the first thing that I have written down, Fairest breaking,
• 20:58
  Speaker 2: the Breaking of the Fourth Wall. I think that was
• 21:00
  Speaker 2: the first time that we had seen that as as
• 21:01
  Speaker 2: kids of the eighties. Do you remember seeing that anytime
• 21:04
  Speaker 2: before that?
• 21:06
  Speaker 3: Now there's little things over the years that you see,
• 21:09
  Speaker 3: little little moments like that, but now for the first
• 21:13
  Speaker 3: time really talking to the camera, Yeah, that was it.
• 21:16
  Speaker 2: What else you got with?
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: So the whole get up he had in his room,
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: you know, so he could so he could rig it
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: all up and escape. I loved that. Okay, that was genius.
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: Oh my gosh. The scene in the restaurant where he's
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: trying to get him in, uh and he what is
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: he the sausage the sausage King of Chicago, Sausage King
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: of Chicago. I loved that and the matre d was
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: cracking me up so many things. And fast forward to
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: the ending when he's trying to beat the family home
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: and his run Ferris is run to get home and
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: beat mom and dad. That was hysterical. I love that.
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: And then the ending when it's all over and then
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: it comes back and he's like, why are you still here? Yeah,
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: it's over.
• 22:05
  Speaker 3: So here's the go quick thing is that we all
• 22:09
  Speaker 3: did it as a kid. They just happen to show
• 22:10
  Speaker 3: it in the movie in the shower scene where he
• 22:12
  Speaker 3: makes himself into a mohawk in the shower. Yes, we've
• 22:15
  Speaker 3: all done it. And the truth is, I'll do it
• 22:18
  Speaker 3: all the time, but I bet you three four times
• 22:20
  Speaker 3: a year I still do it. Yep, Yep, you're kind
• 22:23
  Speaker 3: of mess in the shower. You kind of do that
• 22:25
  Speaker 3: thing and you kind of giggle and then you wash
• 22:26
  Speaker 3: it out and you laugh. Yep.
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: That's a character though. That was when did Martin Short
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: do that care.
• 22:32
  Speaker 3: Grimy He did the whole mohawk all the way back
• 22:36
  Speaker 3: in the in the shower.
• 22:37
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah. So here are some of the things that
• 22:41
  Speaker 2: I have Obviously, the breaking of the Fourth Wall, just
• 22:43
  Speaker 2: the city backdrop, the city of Chicago. That that's good stuff.
• 22:47
  Speaker 2: Of Rooney's desire to get Ferris at all costs.
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: Rudy's just creepy.
• 22:53
  Speaker 2: You liked Rooney, no, yes, and no like I did
• 22:57
  Speaker 2: because his character's funny. But no, i't because he's the foil.
• 23:01
  Speaker 2: So it just depends on you know, as a kid,
• 23:06
  Speaker 2: when there's a foil like that and you've got a
• 23:07
  Speaker 2: hero like Ferris, when bad stuff happens to the foil,
• 23:11
  Speaker 2: that's funny and awesome.
• 23:12
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: True.
• 23:14
  Speaker 2: Genie's obsession with Ferris getting away with everything and not
• 23:17
  Speaker 2: realizing that she actually has a great life too, right,
• 23:20
  Speaker 2: Like it's like.
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: You can't see it, and she's got the car, right,
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: She's got the car.
• 23:26
  Speaker 2: Ferriss almost getting caught about ten times. Cameron's George Peterson impersonation,
• 23:34
  Speaker 2: Cameron mocking the trade exchange with the hands. You know
• 23:38
  Speaker 2: that one always gets me. Here's something totally eighties the
• 23:41
  Speaker 2: MTV opening scene with the chainsaw, very eighties ish there.
• 23:47
  Speaker 2: I love Edie mcclurks, grace and when Genie comes in
• 23:51
  Speaker 2: when she says, Hi, Genie, who's bothering? You know? That
• 23:54
  Speaker 2: just lets you know what type of a person, what
• 23:56
  Speaker 2: type of a kid Genie was? She was always in
• 23:59
  Speaker 2: the in the Rincival's office complaining about something. And then
• 24:03
  Speaker 2: the part that always cracked me up was Sloan starting
• 24:06
  Speaker 2: to put away your books and put on her jacket
• 24:08
  Speaker 2: as soon as the nurse walks into the classroom, she
• 24:11
  Speaker 2: knows that Ferris was coming to get her.
• 24:14
  Speaker 3: Definitely, I was like, I always liked little things too.
• 24:17
  Speaker 3: If there's so many little things in that movie, like
• 24:20
  Speaker 3: you say, Cameron using the the you know, Peterson voice,
• 24:22
  Speaker 3: and he does that with the cop in the in
• 24:24
  Speaker 3: the restaurant too. He also said sageant Peterson, Chicago. So
• 24:28
  Speaker 3: going back, little things like that just they're just there's
• 24:32
  Speaker 3: so many moments like that. I just absolutely loved and
• 24:36
  Speaker 3: cracked me up. And you don't realize that there's there's
• 24:39
  Speaker 3: a thousand of them in that movie that you know
• 24:41
  Speaker 3: very very well.
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: Okay, So going back to the very beginning of the movie,
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: it opens with the radio like a radio morning radio show,
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: you know, do you remember that? And I love that
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: because we all woke up that way back in the eighties.
• 24:59
  Speaker 3: It talks about it talks about like a high day
• 25:01
  Speaker 3: of seventy five seventy four at midway seventy three and
• 25:03
  Speaker 3: oh hair and a's that whole Gamma radio.
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: We all woke up to our radio alarm clock buy
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: our bed that would start playing the you know whatever
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: popular radio show was.
• 25:15
  Speaker 2: See whenever you talk Chicago people and radio, I go
• 25:19
  Speaker 2: straight to Groundhog Days. All right, So next next part
• 25:26
  Speaker 2: of this podcast here, Matt, you mentioned it a few
• 25:29
  Speaker 2: minutes ago. The question is is there any part of
• 25:31
  Speaker 2: this movie that you still use today, whether it's a
• 25:34
  Speaker 2: quote or something adjacent to the quote where you use
• 25:37
  Speaker 2: it in another context. And so, Matt, you just talked
• 25:42
  Speaker 2: about that. So what do you got for us?
• 25:45
  Speaker 3: Of course you put me on a spot. I'll think
• 25:47
  Speaker 3: of so many. One of my favorites is is when
• 25:49
  Speaker 3: somebody asks the stupid question that you've already answered, right,
• 25:53
  Speaker 3: and so when he walks into the pizza place and
• 25:54
  Speaker 3: he says what's the score, and the guy says nothing nothing,
• 25:57
  Speaker 3: They said, who's winning the Bears? And so I whenever
• 26:02
  Speaker 3: somebody asked me a question, I just answered with what
• 26:04
  Speaker 3: I said. I just look at as the bears. The
• 26:09
  Speaker 3: answer to the Bears, I mean, if I do something stupid,
• 26:13
  Speaker 3: never had one lesson and people look at me like
• 26:15
  Speaker 3: I'm nuts. I there's there's from the way that that
• 26:19
  Speaker 3: that Rooney kind of yells at Grace when like the
• 26:23
  Speaker 3: third time he yells at it when they're trying to
• 26:25
  Speaker 3: cover the He's like, there's there's there's so many in
• 26:31
  Speaker 3: a given day that I just I repeat or I
• 26:34
  Speaker 3: cite or I whatever. Uh, you know, and we'll get
• 26:38
  Speaker 3: to one of my favorite uh one of the categories
• 26:40
  Speaker 3: we have is you favorite quotes, and we'll get to
• 26:42
  Speaker 3: one of those in a minute, and I'll tell a
• 26:44
  Speaker 3: little story about how it relays to my birthday party
• 26:45
  Speaker 3: because I use it all the time. But it's, uh,
• 26:49
  Speaker 3: there's a million little things that you just you just
• 26:52
  Speaker 3: find yourself saying or using or commenting or citing all
• 26:56
  Speaker 3: the time.
• 26:57
  Speaker 2: I do it all the time. Lindsey, Well, I have
• 27:00
  Speaker 2: a quote, Okay, that's fine. I've got several things.
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: So except I change it a little bit.
• 27:05
  Speaker 2: That's good. Yeah, No, that that's fine. It's if it's adjacent.
• 27:08
  Speaker 2: You know that that counts well.
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: With your bad back, Jim, you shouldn't throw anybody.
• 27:13
  Speaker 2: She says that to me all the time. Yeah, So,
• 27:20
  Speaker 2: so things that I say anytime the number nine comes up,
• 27:23
  Speaker 2: I always go nine times. I do always you do.
• 27:29
  Speaker 2: If sometimes if I get frustrated at someone or something,
• 27:32
  Speaker 2: I'll just randomly yell rut. If somebody at work does
• 27:39
  Speaker 2: something that like blows my mind, like they came up
• 27:41
  Speaker 2: with a solution that I had never thought of, I'll
• 27:43
  Speaker 2: look at them and go, Ferres Bueller, you're my hero.
• 27:48
  Speaker 2: I always use anyone, anyone, anyone. If I ask a
• 27:51
  Speaker 2: question and nobody answers, I immediately anyone, anyone, anyone. And
• 27:55
  Speaker 2: then when Cameron was in Egypt's.
• 27:59
  Speaker 3: Lane and.
• 28:00
  Speaker 2: Let my Camrian go.
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: I always sing the wrong purchase. But why does he
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: Why is he singing that?
• 28:10
  Speaker 2: Matt, do you know why he's singing that? I do
• 28:12
  Speaker 2: not know. That's probably an unanswerable question.
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: Why that song?
• 28:16
  Speaker 3: That's a song of some sort. I don't know. But
• 28:19
  Speaker 3: obviously he's a hypochondriac and all that kind of stuff.
• 28:21
  Speaker 3: And I will tell you this, it's it's exponentially more
• 28:26
  Speaker 3: Ferris Bueller type stuff. When you have what I have,
• 28:29
  Speaker 3: which is a son that you named Cameron, some of
• 28:33
  Speaker 3: those things just become part of your lexicon and just
• 28:35
  Speaker 3: talking to your own son. So my twenty two year
• 28:38
  Speaker 3: old is named Cameron. So I have sung the let
• 28:42
  Speaker 3: my Cameron Go. I've done that a hundred thousand times.
• 28:47
  Speaker 2: Oh boy, that's great stuff. You got anything else about
• 28:51
  Speaker 2: things that you use from this from this movie?
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: Bueler, bueler, yep.
• 28:56
  Speaker 2: Always bueller anyone, anyone?
• 29:00
  Speaker 3: You know?
• 29:00
  Speaker 2: I had a my actually, so this movie came out
• 29:03
  Speaker 2: in what nineteen eighty six? So when I was a
• 29:06
  Speaker 2: freshman in high school in nineteen eighty eight, we had
• 29:09
  Speaker 2: a our biology teacher. He would do that. He would
• 29:12
  Speaker 2: ask a question if nobody answered to be like anyone, anyone, anyone,
• 29:16
  Speaker 2: And I'm like, that's from faris work. And He's like, yeah,
• 29:20
  Speaker 2: I know. Like like even.
• 29:22
  Speaker 3: Little moments that I you know, like like Lindsay saying
• 29:24
  Speaker 3: I kind of change it for the situation I'm in,
• 29:26
  Speaker 3: Like Ben Stein saying, anyone know what this is? What
• 29:30
  Speaker 3: a George Bush called this in nineteen eighty something doo economic, Yes,
• 29:34
  Speaker 3: boodoo economic. I so many of those things. And then
• 29:38
  Speaker 3: when he starts going about the laughricer and all that
• 29:40
  Speaker 3: kind of stuff, like I know I know that entire
• 29:43
  Speaker 3: section by heart because I've truncated different pieces of that
• 29:47
  Speaker 3: over the years, and different things I've done, and it's
• 29:49
  Speaker 3: not always that thing where if you do something like
• 29:51
  Speaker 3: that in a crowd or a presentation or in a
• 29:53
  Speaker 3: room or in my company with my people that work
• 29:56
  Speaker 3: for me, I always giggle because at some point one
• 29:59
  Speaker 3: person will kind of catch on and go and they'll
• 30:01
  Speaker 3: kind of snicker, and that's worth it for me.
• 30:02
  Speaker 2: That's that's totally totally.
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: So did you know that they that John Hughes allowed
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: ben Stein to improvise that?
• 30:09
  Speaker 2: Yes, yeah I did. I didn't know that, And if
• 30:12
  Speaker 2: I'm not mistaken, I believe a lot of Eadie mcclerk's
• 30:15
  Speaker 2: stuff was improvised too.
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: Oh I could totally see that, but yeah.
• 30:19
  Speaker 2: He he was just like I need something, and Benstein
• 30:21
  Speaker 2: was like, well, I've got a lecture on economics of
• 30:24
  Speaker 2: the boring that I used to do all the time.
• 30:25
  Speaker 2: And he's like, yeah, I do that.
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: So I love that.
• 30:28
  Speaker 3: Yeah, me too, even the second professor where he's like,
• 30:31
  Speaker 3: oh sometimes so. So I'm very guilty when I'm making
• 30:34
  Speaker 3: a presentation or where I'm making a speech to a
• 30:37
  Speaker 3: to a convention or something like that, I'm bad about.
• 30:39
  Speaker 3: I don't use notes. I just go off the top
• 30:41
  Speaker 3: of my head A lot and so occasionally I'll get stuck.
• 30:44
  Speaker 3: Occasionally I'll kind of get a little bit of a Okay,
• 30:47
  Speaker 3: where was I going with this? And I'll and I'll
• 30:50
  Speaker 3: be like, in what way was the author's youse? Irony?
• 30:58
  Speaker 3: I'm that guy? So all those things, it's it's weird,
• 31:02
  Speaker 3: the little the little things that you pick up and
• 31:04
  Speaker 3: the little ticks that you pick up and become part
• 31:06
  Speaker 3: of your personality because you saw them at a young
• 31:09
  Speaker 3: age and it just became something you do. Because when
• 31:11
  Speaker 3: I do find myself stalling like that, I hear that
• 31:14
  Speaker 3: voice in my head and I kind of giggle. Can
• 31:17
  Speaker 3: I get you back on track?
• 31:18
  Speaker 2: That's great, That's great? All right?
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: Uh?
• 31:22
  Speaker 2: Real quick? What what still makes you laugh today even
• 31:25
  Speaker 2: though you've seen this movie nine times?
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: Uh?
• 31:29
  Speaker 2: Charlie Sheen's character, Charlie Sheen's character.
• 31:33
  Speaker 3: I think the scene you said where Feris almost gets
• 31:36
  Speaker 3: caught when when the dad's next to Mia Sarah in
• 31:39
  Speaker 3: traffic and she's kind of looking over and he's kind
• 31:42
  Speaker 3: of you know whatever. That little things like that kind
• 31:44
  Speaker 3: of still crack me up.
• 31:45
  Speaker 2: Yes, Yes, So I wrote down two exchanges. One whndsay
• 31:51
  Speaker 2: already went on when Rooney says, I don't press this
• 31:54
  Speaker 2: kid any further than I can throw him. And Gray says, well,
• 31:56
  Speaker 2: with your bad knee, and you shouldn't be throwing anybody.
• 31:58
  Speaker 2: And then he looks at her and she goes, it's.
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: True, It's true.
• 32:03
  Speaker 2: And then and then the other one is Rooney saying,
• 32:06
  Speaker 2: last thing I need at this point in my career
• 32:08
  Speaker 2: is fifteen hundred Ferris Bueller disciples running around these halls.
• 32:12
  Speaker 2: He jeopardizes my ability to effectively govern this student body.
• 32:16
  Speaker 2: And Gray says, well, he makes you look like an
• 32:19
  Speaker 2: ass is what he does. Ed every single time, I
• 32:22
  Speaker 2: lose it because the shock on his face, Uh, fantastic.
• 32:27
  Speaker 2: All right, one major didn't nitpick? If you if you
• 32:31
  Speaker 2: have a major nitpick about the film, what is it? Okay,
• 32:37
  Speaker 2: that's fine, go with more than one.
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: Okay. When they go to pick Slowan up at high
• 32:45
  Speaker 1: school and Rooney's gonna walk her out, she goes down
• 32:50
  Speaker 1: and she gives Ferris a big old kiss, and Rooney's like, oh,
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: so that's how they do it in that family.
• 32:56
  Speaker 2: That part always cracked me.
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: Well in that moment, he still was it like that, Ferris.
• 33:04
  Speaker 3: And they peel out in that Ferrari, you just had
• 33:07
  Speaker 3: your mother's your wife's mother. If you're own my wife's mother,
• 33:10
  Speaker 3: you just had the wife's mother pass away, Yes, and
• 33:13
  Speaker 3: you pick up sloan in a in a customized Ferrari
• 33:17
  Speaker 3: and then you bark the tires going out of the
• 33:19
  Speaker 3: parking lot.
• 33:20
  Speaker 2: Come on, I think that's when he figured That's when
• 33:22
  Speaker 2: Rooney figured it out.
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so peeling out of the park peeling out and.
• 33:27
  Speaker 2: Her squealing, but nothing smooth. I think it was the
• 33:31
  Speaker 2: combination of the three, all of it.
• 33:34
  Speaker 1: Nothing much as getting past Rooney, I can tell you that.
• 33:38
  Speaker 2: All right, Well, ell, if you got.
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: How does everybody in Chicago know.
• 33:46
  Speaker 2: Ferris because he's a righteous dude.
• 33:51
  Speaker 1: Before the Internet, before cell phones, I don't even know
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: that they had pagers. Everybody knows Ferris.
• 33:59
  Speaker 2: You got the answer for that?
• 34:01
  Speaker 3: I do, and then I'll get into my nitpicks. You know,
• 34:06
  Speaker 3: we all went to high school, pre internet, pre pre
• 34:08
  Speaker 3: cell phones. They had pages when I was in high school,
• 34:11
  Speaker 3: but nobody had them yet. But there was a thing
• 34:15
  Speaker 3: where you there was a guy from a town two
• 34:17
  Speaker 3: towns over that everybody knew. That is it? That is
• 34:21
  Speaker 3: a thing. I don't know if it was the level
• 34:22
  Speaker 3: of Ferris Bueller in Chicago and all that kind of stuff.
• 34:25
  Speaker 3: But like you know when that when the chief police
• 34:27
  Speaker 3: is telling them, let faries know, we're all pulling for him.
• 34:30
  Speaker 3: But but that was a thing where I grew up,
• 34:33
  Speaker 3: you know, Wichita, Kansas, there was a guy everybody knew
• 34:36
  Speaker 3: from may Oh, I know that guy, he's so and
• 34:39
  Speaker 3: and And one of those guys, quite honestly was was
• 34:41
  Speaker 3: a cousin of mine a different school who everybody knew,
• 34:44
  Speaker 3: my cousin, Joel. I mean everybody in the planet knew Joel,
• 34:47
  Speaker 3: and I very much use that to my advantage. Oh
• 34:49
  Speaker 3: I'm Joel's cousin, which he wouldn't really claim in public,
• 34:52
  Speaker 3: but hey, whatever, it was true. So it was. It
• 34:55
  Speaker 3: was a thing. It was a possibility. So it's a
• 34:58
  Speaker 3: little bit exaggerated fair this case, but it was a possibility.
• 35:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah, same with me growing up. There were these legends
• 35:06
  Speaker 2: that you just knew, and you don't know why you
• 35:08
  Speaker 2: knew them, just because everybody talked about them.
• 35:10
  Speaker 1: So I guess I get it if it was if
• 35:12
  Speaker 1: it was all the kids, but the fact that like
• 35:15
  Speaker 1: all the adults got in on it too, just that's crazy. Also,
• 35:20
  Speaker 1: I've got one more. I mean, it's just gonna leave
• 35:23
  Speaker 1: us hanging on what happens to Cameron when his dad
• 35:27
  Speaker 1: gets home that glass building is destroyed, plus his prized
• 35:32
  Speaker 1: sports cards.
• 35:33
  Speaker 2: That's probably for another section. That's probably the unanswerable question section.
• 35:38
  Speaker 3: Exactly right, it's exactly what.
• 35:39
  Speaker 2: Me all right, matt What's what's the nippick you have?
• 35:44
  Speaker 3: I got a few? Okay. Matthew Broderick's long Island accent
• 35:49
  Speaker 3: for a Chicago movie was driving me crazy. It was.
• 35:53
  Speaker 3: It wasn't you know, It wasn't you know. We told
• 35:56
  Speaker 3: from New York. We talked like it wasn't like that,
• 35:58
  Speaker 3: but it was enough of it. That's not Chicago accent, dude.
• 36:01
  Speaker 3: And it wasn't even close. It wasn't even a sort
• 36:03
  Speaker 3: of a like I have a flat accent, I have
• 36:05
  Speaker 3: a No, I don't really have an accent, right because
• 36:08
  Speaker 3: I'm from the Midwest, but Chicago windn't have a very
• 36:11
  Speaker 3: distinct accent. But it was a very East Coast accent.
• 36:13
  Speaker 3: It just little little nitpicks, like you said, you know,
• 36:16
  Speaker 3: Alan Ruck was like thirty years old and Matthew Broderick
• 36:20
  Speaker 3: was like twenty four to twenty five. Because he always
• 36:22
  Speaker 3: had that sort of fa that that five o'clock shadow
• 36:25
  Speaker 3: you just don't quite have when you're seventeen. Yeah, drove
• 36:28
  Speaker 3: me crazy. And Mia Sarah was very young, she was
• 36:31
  Speaker 3: only like nineteen. Cameron wearing a Gordi how red Wings
• 36:36
  Speaker 3: jersey in the height of Chicago going to a Cubs
• 36:39
  Speaker 3: game wearing a Red Wings jersey, that's damn near blast
• 36:42
  Speaker 3: of it.
• 36:43
  Speaker 2: Would have thrown stuff at him.
• 36:45
  Speaker 3: Yeah, they would have. They would have not accepted him there.
• 36:48
  Speaker 3: This is this is back in the eighties, before even
• 36:50
  Speaker 3: NHL expansion. On the way, sure, I missed the Chicago
• 36:56
  Speaker 3: skyline when I didn't see a big building that said
• 36:58
  Speaker 3: Trump on the side of it. I'll just sleep it that.
• 37:00
  Speaker 3: I'll just leave it at that, because I've been to
• 37:03
  Speaker 3: Chicago the last couple of years and I see it
• 37:05
  Speaker 3: and it's, uh, it's unfortunate, Okay. And then finally kind
• 37:08
  Speaker 3: of along the same lines of what you're talking about
• 37:10
  Speaker 3: with the with the Ferrari and the and the exit
• 37:12
  Speaker 3: of the school and all that kind of stuff, the
• 37:15
  Speaker 3: chasing at the end of the movie, Jeanie's driving her mom,
• 37:18
  Speaker 3: Dad's in a different car, Ferris is going through different
• 37:20
  Speaker 3: yards and all this other stuff. Two minutes before this
• 37:24
  Speaker 3: Ferris is telling Sloane he loves her. Ferris is telling
• 37:26
  Speaker 3: Sloane he wants to marry her at the Stocking show,
• 37:29
  Speaker 3: budging his ever loving desire her, and he hops two fences.
• 37:33
  Speaker 3: There's two hot girls on flawn chairs. They make sure
• 37:36
  Speaker 3: to stop and say hello, and I'm Ferris Bueller. How
• 37:38
  Speaker 3: you doing? And I'm like, look, I'm not trying to
• 37:41
  Speaker 3: argue monogamy at seventeen, but you just basically wanted to
• 37:45
  Speaker 3: marry this girl. In the last line that MIAs Sarah
• 37:47
  Speaker 3: says the movie is He's gonna marry me, And four
• 37:51
  Speaker 3: minutes later he's trying to hook up with the girl's
• 37:53
  Speaker 3: sun Bathe.
• 37:54
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I think that's that's Farris in a nutshell.
• 37:57
  Speaker 2: Yep, Yep, this is a whore. Yep, that's it.
• 38:02
  Speaker 3: That's that's what I got. I got more but kind
• 38:05
  Speaker 3: of an answerable questions too.
• 38:06
  Speaker 2: Okay, Arris is.
• 38:07
  Speaker 1: So ridiculously over the top that in the beginning it
• 38:10
  Speaker 1: really bothered me. Then he just kept so blatantly say
• 38:13
  Speaker 1: he wanted to marry Sloan. But then I realized, oh,
• 38:17
  Speaker 1: he is so ridiculously over the top. Of course he
• 38:20
  Speaker 1: wants to marry her, right right.
• 38:23
  Speaker 3: When you're seventeen. Look, I probably said to my I
• 38:27
  Speaker 3: know I said to my girlfriend when I was seventeen
• 38:29
  Speaker 3: things like that, So I get it. It makes sense.
• 38:31
  Speaker 3: It's youthful. But when I was doing that, and I
• 38:34
  Speaker 3: don't picture myself as any angel at seventeen whatsoever, but
• 38:38
  Speaker 3: I wasn't making some girl feel like I wanted to
• 38:40
  Speaker 3: marry her and then literally four blocks later stopping by
• 38:44
  Speaker 3: to check on the local chicks.
• 38:45
  Speaker 2: You know, Uh, A good point, all right. My major
• 38:50
  Speaker 2: nitpick is the fact that this is supposed to be
• 38:53
  Speaker 2: Chicago in April, and I've lived in Chicago in April,
• 38:59
  Speaker 2: and it is too cold to be in a convertible
• 39:02
  Speaker 2: for certain, and in a pool without freezing to death. Yeah,
• 39:08
  Speaker 2: it's very very very rare that you get a day
• 39:12
  Speaker 2: like that in April and Chicago. That's more like mid
• 39:14
  Speaker 2: May weather in Chicago.
• 39:17
  Speaker 1: Could that be what started this? His radio came on
• 39:22
  Speaker 1: right when his alarm went off, and he heard it
• 39:25
  Speaker 1: was going to be a nice day, and that could
• 39:27
  Speaker 1: be what started it.
• 39:28
  Speaker 2: Probably is, It probably is, But I would say that's
• 39:31
  Speaker 2: probably once every ten years that nice of a day
• 39:34
  Speaker 2: in Chicago in April.
• 39:36
  Speaker 3: They weren't even saying the hot Look, I have a pool.
• 39:39
  Speaker 3: I live in you know, Memphis area, high of seventy five,
• 39:43
  Speaker 3: which is what the radio said that day was going
• 39:45
  Speaker 3: to be. I'm not getting in the pool.
• 39:46
  Speaker 1: Of not pool weather.
• 39:49
  Speaker 3: No, no, absolutely, all.
• 39:51
  Speaker 2: Right, anything else you want to say about the movie
• 39:53
  Speaker 2: before we get into the awards section.
• 39:57
  Speaker 3: Okay, there's a lot.
• 39:58
  Speaker 1: I've got something else. One more thing. Was Ferris a
• 40:02
  Speaker 1: good friend to Cameron.
• 40:04
  Speaker 2: Or a terrible terrible friend? Yeah?
• 40:06
  Speaker 1: I don't think Farris, as far as their relationship goes,
• 40:10
  Speaker 1: I don't think that Ferris was a good friend to
• 40:15
  Speaker 1: You want to you want to look for somebody that's
• 40:17
  Speaker 1: gonna maybe respect your boundaries a little bit better.
• 40:21
  Speaker 2: What do you think Matt Farris is the villain of
• 40:24
  Speaker 2: this movie?
• 40:25
  Speaker 1: Wow? Yeah, Matt just dropping the bombs.
• 40:30
  Speaker 3: Yeah. It's like if you look back and you look
• 40:33
  Speaker 3: at uh was a karate kid, and you realized that
• 40:36
  Speaker 3: Daniel LaRusso was kind of the jackass and I deserved
• 40:39
  Speaker 3: what he got. In lots of cases, my kids used
• 40:42
  Speaker 3: to watch what was it Diary, Diary of a Wimpy Kid,
• 40:45
  Speaker 3: and you realized that that that that wimpy kid, he
• 40:48
  Speaker 3: was kind of prey he was you should have whooped
• 40:52
  Speaker 3: his ass. So it's kind of the same thing.
• 40:55
  Speaker 2: Oh, anything else, that's anything else you want to say
• 41:00
  Speaker 2: about the movie, Matt.
• 41:01
  Speaker 3: Now let's go to the awards.
• 41:02
  Speaker 2: We're good, okay. So I'm going to say this. It's
• 41:04
  Speaker 2: on a list of must watch eighties movies because it's iconic.
• 41:08
  Speaker 2: It certainly made it harder to skip school after this
• 41:11
  Speaker 2: movie came out, and our principal had her own grace
• 41:17
  Speaker 2: make her aware of anything that seemed fishy. So if
• 41:20
  Speaker 2: you called into school the and it seemed fishy, our
• 41:25
  Speaker 2: principal would go and check every single class that you
• 41:30
  Speaker 2: had to see if you were in there. And if
• 41:31
  Speaker 2: you weren't, she was calling your parents.
• 41:33
  Speaker 3: Wow.
• 41:34
  Speaker 2: I know this because I had somebody call in for
• 41:37
  Speaker 2: school for me. The grace figured out that it wasn't.
• 41:40
  Speaker 2: My mom told the told the missus Rooney, who then
• 41:44
  Speaker 2: went and checked, and I got in trouble.
• 41:47
  Speaker 1: Wow.
• 41:48
  Speaker 3: High School Northwest High School, which tah Kansas. Linda Lovelace
• 41:52
  Speaker 3: was her name, not Lovelace, Linda lovelass uh, And she
• 41:56
  Speaker 3: was that person for our school. And yeah, if I
• 41:58
  Speaker 3: wasn't there, as we tried to whole sum this cook.
• 42:03
  Speaker 3: I'm calling for my son, Matt. You know kind of
• 42:04
  Speaker 3: thing I got busted and she was the one who
• 42:07
  Speaker 3: did it.
• 42:08
  Speaker 2: Yep.
• 42:09
  Speaker 1: That's awesome.
• 42:10
  Speaker 3: All right.
• 42:10
  Speaker 2: So uh here, let's get to the awards section. What
• 42:14
  Speaker 2: is the most iconic scene or scenes from the movie.
• 42:18
  Speaker 2: We each get one or two nominations. If you want
• 42:21
  Speaker 2: to nominate something, Matt, I'll let you go first.
• 42:25
  Speaker 3: Iconic scenes moments if you will. You know, they're kind
• 42:29
  Speaker 3: of very close together. Uh the parade scene with don
• 42:32
  Speaker 3: Ka Chern and twist and shout. Obviously in the middle
• 42:34
  Speaker 3: of Chicago, people dancing, there's a flash mob, all that
• 42:37
  Speaker 3: kind of stuff.
• 42:38
  Speaker 1: Uh.
• 42:38
  Speaker 3: But for me, and and just something that you still
• 42:41
  Speaker 3: hear every time you go to a ballgame, the hey
• 42:43
  Speaker 3: batter batter part. Hey at it so we can about it. Yeah,
• 42:47
  Speaker 3: all that's that is for me is a baseball guy
• 42:50
  Speaker 3: and what you hear in games. That's that's the most
• 42:52
  Speaker 3: iconic to me. It's it's kind of a small thing,
• 42:54
  Speaker 3: but I love it.
• 42:56
  Speaker 1: Lindsey Buehler b Aler Bueler, that's funny.
• 43:01
  Speaker 3: For me.
• 43:02
  Speaker 1: The most iconic scene Farris Bueller isn't even in that's funny.
• 43:07
  Speaker 2: Uh So to me, I also have the parade scene
• 43:09
  Speaker 2: like Matt had, and then I've got the bedroom scene
• 43:12
  Speaker 2: with him talking to the camera about how to fake
• 43:14
  Speaker 2: a sickness and get out of school. Yeah, those are
• 43:17
  Speaker 2: the two things I think of when I think of that.
• 43:18
  Speaker 2: Of course, I also think of Wrigley and Bueller and
• 43:21
  Speaker 2: everything else. But I would say, since Matt and I
• 43:24
  Speaker 2: both had the parade scene, that the winner is the
• 43:27
  Speaker 2: parade scene. Yeah, it kind of has to be, I think,
• 43:31
  Speaker 2: all right, and I've got something funny about that parade scene. So,
• 43:33
  Speaker 2: like I said, they went back and shot in Chicago.
• 43:35
  Speaker 2: They shot that parade, but then they did their own
• 43:39
  Speaker 2: thing so Ferris could be on the float and singing
• 43:42
  Speaker 2: and everything. And all those people that you see dancing
• 43:46
  Speaker 2: and up on theo were Those were not extras. Those
• 43:49
  Speaker 2: were people that really worked in Chicago that just got
• 43:52
  Speaker 2: into it and really started dancing the thriller, dance and everything.
• 43:56
  Speaker 2: Those weren't paid actors. Those were just workers there in Chicago.
• 44:00
  Speaker 2: So another fun fact to throw in for you. All right,
• 44:03
  Speaker 2: So what to you, what is the funniest part of
• 44:08
  Speaker 2: the movie. It can be a quote, it can be
• 44:10
  Speaker 2: a scene and exchange whatever. Len's I'll let you go first.
• 44:15
  Speaker 1: The funniest part. I think I'm gonna go with Cameron
• 44:21
  Speaker 1: his fake phone call as mister Peters.
• 44:24
  Speaker 2: That's a good one. Yeah, all right, Matt, Yeah, I've.
• 44:29
  Speaker 3: Got the Sheene part. But I agree that the phone
• 44:31
  Speaker 3: calls to to to Rooney and I just have in
• 44:33
  Speaker 3: my notes in all capitors Peterson, I just I have
• 44:37
  Speaker 3: that because he just hits that so perfectly, and and
• 44:41
  Speaker 3: and he hits the from the opening part of the
• 44:43
  Speaker 3: phone call where he's very like calm and oh my
• 44:45
  Speaker 3: wife's mother, and then he starts to bust him and
• 44:48
  Speaker 3: he turns it up a little bit. You know that
• 44:50
  Speaker 3: is That is to me, that's the funniest part of
• 44:52
  Speaker 3: the movie by far.
• 44:53
  Speaker 1: And he just becomes almost like unhinged.
• 44:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, you guys are correct. That is I did
• 44:59
  Speaker 2: not that down, but you guys are one hundred percent correct.
• 45:01
  Speaker 2: That's better than mine. So when I had I actually
• 45:04
  Speaker 2: have a Cameron scene too, of Cameron jumping up and
• 45:07
  Speaker 2: down and going crazy at the thought of Ferris like
• 45:09
  Speaker 2: not leaving him alone and deciding whether or not he's
• 45:11
  Speaker 2: going to go over there. That part always gets me.
• 45:14
  Speaker 2: And then Grace and Rooney running around his Well, no,
• 45:18
  Speaker 2: I guess it is the same thing. So while he's
• 45:21
  Speaker 2: talking with George Peterson, it's Grace and Rooney running around
• 45:24
  Speaker 2: his office like the Three Stooges. When Ferris calls in.
• 45:27
  Speaker 1: A panic, it's literally like straight out of Three Stooges.
• 45:31
  Speaker 3: And you realize that they're trying to find a Manila
• 45:34
  Speaker 3: folder of schedules of who's in what class to find
• 45:36
  Speaker 3: out where she is. Yes, and that's so antiquated. But
• 45:41
  Speaker 3: again with the Cameron too, Remember you don't even realize
• 45:44
  Speaker 3: it's Cameron. To me, that voice is kind of whatever.
• 45:46
  Speaker 3: But then when when Rooney kind of figures out that
• 45:49
  Speaker 3: it's that Ferris called, and they go back and he's like,
• 45:51
  Speaker 3: I have an apology, Well I should say you do.
• 45:53
  Speaker 3: And that's the moment where you see Cameron. You're like, oh,
• 45:57
  Speaker 3: they're doing this, so it's it's great.
• 46:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's fantastic. So I mean, that's obviously the winner.
• 46:03
  Speaker 2: All three of us picked that. I just had a
• 46:05
  Speaker 2: different view of that same phone call. Fantastic, all right, So.
• 46:15
  Speaker 3: What is I mean?
• 46:16
  Speaker 2: And we have to accept the movie for what it is, right,
• 46:19
  Speaker 2: So it can't be that Ferris is on a I
• 46:21
  Speaker 2: guess it could be that Ferris is on a float.
• 46:23
  Speaker 2: But what's the most absurd part of the movie to you?
• 46:27
  Speaker 2: It can be anything.
• 46:30
  Speaker 3: Go with the Ferrari in general, and you can take
• 46:34
  Speaker 3: this into almost every category we have in some way,
• 46:37
  Speaker 3: form or fashion. This nineteen sixty one whatever it was,
• 46:41
  Speaker 3: sixty two, only one hundred of them made the fact,
• 46:44
  Speaker 3: the fact that they would even that Ferris would even
• 46:47
  Speaker 3: think about doing that, The driving of it to school,
• 46:51
  Speaker 3: like you said, picking up in this classic Ferrari, you know,
• 46:55
  Speaker 3: driving to Chicago, the parking lot, guys who jumped the
• 46:59
  Speaker 3: thing and you hear the Star Wars music and they
• 47:01
  Speaker 3: landed without destroying it into forty seven pieces. All of
• 47:05
  Speaker 3: that is just absolutely absurd to me. And it only
• 47:08
  Speaker 3: had one hundred miles on it or two hundred miles
• 47:10
  Speaker 3: on it to start with, or something like that. All
• 47:12
  Speaker 3: of that is just absurd. And then kind of in
• 47:15
  Speaker 3: a runner up thing, I did not like the Ferris
• 47:18
  Speaker 3: bedroom set up with the trophy on the string, so
• 47:20
  Speaker 3: he turned over a little bit that was that Mom
• 47:23
  Speaker 3: wouldn't figure out that that was a stereo and a
• 47:25
  Speaker 3: dummy and a come on, come on now. When I
• 47:27
  Speaker 3: was ten, I bought it, but at fifty I don't.
• 47:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I've got two things. So Rooney stalking Ferris all
• 47:37
  Speaker 1: day to the point of entering his house through the
• 47:41
  Speaker 1: doggy door. That's just insane, Like it just insane, that's
• 47:45
  Speaker 1: just crazy. That and then the fact that I guess
• 47:48
  Speaker 1: Cameron and or Ferris thought they could backtrack on the
• 47:52
  Speaker 1: mileage on the Ferrari by putting it in reverse.
• 47:57
  Speaker 2: Driving home in reverse, or putting in reverse. Yeah, that
• 47:59
  Speaker 2: was silly, all right. So my absurd part is that
• 48:07
  Speaker 2: this day seemed the last forty eight hours. Because yeah,
• 48:11
  Speaker 2: so let's say the parents left the house between seven
• 48:15
  Speaker 2: and seven thirty to get to work by eight, right,
• 48:18
  Speaker 2: and Ferris is still in bed. So here's all the
• 48:21
  Speaker 2: things that he's got to do and get home before
• 48:24
  Speaker 2: six o'clock. He sets up his bedroom with the mannequin. Right,
• 48:28
  Speaker 2: that's going to take some time. He takes a shower,
• 48:31
  Speaker 2: He goes out to the pool and drinks an island
• 48:33
  Speaker 2: drink while while calling Cameron. Right, he plays the clarinet.
• 48:38
  Speaker 2: He calls kids at the school payphone. He calls Cameron
• 48:42
  Speaker 2: again and talks to his dad on the phone at
• 48:44
  Speaker 2: the same time, makes the fakes they make the fake
• 48:47
  Speaker 2: calls to Rooney. He goes back to Cameron's to convince
• 48:51
  Speaker 2: him to get the Ferrari, picks up Sloan, drives downtown,
• 48:54
  Speaker 2: pays the guy to park the Ferrari, goes to lunch,
• 48:58
  Speaker 2: takes a taxi over to Wrigleyville, which isn't anywhere near downtown.
• 49:03
  Speaker 2: I mean it's near downtown, but it's it's a ways,
• 49:07
  Speaker 2: goes to a museum, goes back to downtown to do
• 49:10
  Speaker 2: the parade by his dad's office, sings two songs in
• 49:13
  Speaker 2: the parade, goes and gets in a hot tub, and
• 49:16
  Speaker 2: then saves Cameron from the pool that's coming up later.
• 49:21
  Speaker 3: Dry It wasn't wasn't the stock Exchange? Oh yeah, for lunch,
• 49:25
  Speaker 3: after lunch before the game, the.
• 49:27
  Speaker 2: Stock Change drives back to Cameron's house. Who knows how
• 49:31
  Speaker 2: long they had that thing in reverse to try and
• 49:34
  Speaker 2: reduce the mileage, and then he runs home what seems
• 49:37
  Speaker 2: like three to four miles to make it home by six.
• 49:39
  Speaker 2: There's no way you're getting all that stuff done in
• 49:41
  Speaker 2: eleven hours. No way, not going to happen. Not from
• 49:44
  Speaker 2: suburban Chicago to downtown Chicago with traffic.
• 49:48
  Speaker 3: Yeah. Oh and and last thing. And this is kind
• 49:51
  Speaker 3: of a nitpick, but it's also kind of an unanswerable
• 49:53
  Speaker 3: question when when everybody gets home, they bust Rooney, they
• 49:58
  Speaker 3: Jennifer Gray comes to do throws his wallet, the dog,
• 50:01
  Speaker 3: he walks the street, the bus picks him up loaded
• 50:04
  Speaker 3: full of kids after six pm.
• 50:06
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yep, I've got that in the unanswerable questions too.
• 50:09
  Speaker 3: Yep. Yeah, that's mind the question, but but it's there. Yeah.
• 50:13
  Speaker 2: Uh, all right, So best quote one or two? What
• 50:16
  Speaker 2: do you got? Lindsay?
• 50:19
  Speaker 1: Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look
• 50:21
  Speaker 1: around once in a while, you could miss it.
• 50:24
  Speaker 2: I have that one as well, you have another one?
• 50:26
  Speaker 2: Or is that it?
• 50:29
  Speaker 1: I think that's gonna be it for me?
• 50:31
  Speaker 2: What you got?
• 50:33
  Speaker 1: So?
• 50:33
  Speaker 3: Uh, this is where I say it kind of relates
• 50:35
  Speaker 3: to my birthday party. I had a surprise fiftieth birthday
• 50:37
  Speaker 3: party last month, and one of the things that my
• 50:39
  Speaker 3: friends did was they know, I love I love gimmicky sunglasses.
• 50:43
  Speaker 3: That's kind of my thing, right, So they bought a
• 50:45
  Speaker 3: bunch of gimmicky sunglasses and they all they put phrases
• 50:48
  Speaker 3: of things I commonly say on the arms of the sunglasses,
• 50:52
  Speaker 3: and there was all kinds of different phrases like you know,
• 50:54
  Speaker 3: I say, I say things like, you know, why are
• 50:56
  Speaker 3: you bringing up old shit? I said? All the time
• 50:58
  Speaker 3: I say you know, I say lots of things right
• 51:00
  Speaker 3: all the time. I just don't want to deal with it,
• 51:02
  Speaker 3: whatever it may be. Everyone knows this. I say things
• 51:05
  Speaker 3: like that, but I am guilty and in the South,
• 51:09
  Speaker 3: it's not the best thing in the world to say.
• 51:11
  Speaker 3: But I am guilty of saying god damn it a lot.
• 51:14
  Speaker 3: And the best quote of this movie is the Peterson
• 51:17
  Speaker 3: phone call when he comes back call me suh, God
• 51:20
  Speaker 3: damn it. That is my favorite quote of the movie.
• 51:25
  Speaker 1: All right, good job on imitating.
• 51:27
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a great George Peterson, Cameron doing George Peterson.
• 51:33
  Speaker 2: So I also have life moves pretty fast. If you
• 51:35
  Speaker 2: don't stop and look around once in a while, you
• 51:36
  Speaker 2: could miss it. And then the other quote that I liked,
• 51:39
  Speaker 2: because we don't give Jeanie doesn't get a lot of
• 51:41
  Speaker 2: love in this movie is when she calls the police
• 51:45
  Speaker 2: and she's like, look, it's real nice that you hope
• 51:47
  Speaker 2: my brother's feeling better. But I'm in danger. Okay, I'm
• 51:50
  Speaker 2: very cute, I'm very alone, and I'm very protective of
• 51:52
  Speaker 2: my body. I do not want it violated or killed.
• 51:55
  Speaker 2: All right, I need help that whole thing. But I
• 51:59
  Speaker 2: think since two of us have life moves pretty fast,
• 52:02
  Speaker 2: I think think it's got to be that one that's
• 52:04
  Speaker 2: the winner. All right. Uh, what's the best song in
• 52:08
  Speaker 2: the movie.
• 52:11
  Speaker 1: Twistin shout?
• 52:15
  Speaker 3: Matt, you know, I'm gonna give it honorable mention to
• 52:18
  Speaker 3: uh to oh yeah, because that was in like every
• 52:21
  Speaker 3: movie in the eighties. It's a group called Yellow As
• 52:23
  Speaker 3: I recall, yep, the best, my favorite song in the movie,
• 52:27
  Speaker 3: and I can still sing it word for word to
• 52:29
  Speaker 3: this day. I wrote down the first two words because
• 52:32
  Speaker 3: I know any of to prompt. But I heard that
• 52:35
  Speaker 3: you were feeling ill, headache, fever, and chill. I came
• 52:40
  Speaker 3: to help restore your pluck because I'm the nurse who
• 52:43
  Speaker 3: likes to and then the doors.
• 52:46
  Speaker 2: Yeah right, so I have Wiston shout. I also wrote
• 52:52
  Speaker 2: down don Kashane, and I wrote down oh yeah by Yellow.
• 52:58
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 52:58
  Speaker 2: I think it does too. So John Hughes was always
• 53:02
  Speaker 2: introducing me to songs that I didn't know, like oh
• 53:05
  Speaker 2: yeah uh. And then I was introduced to the Ramones
• 53:09
  Speaker 2: in Vacation right when they played blitzkerb bop so John
• 53:14
  Speaker 2: Hughes always introducing me to new songs. All right. Best
• 53:18
  Speaker 2: character quirks? Did any of the characters or multiple characters
• 53:22
  Speaker 2: have a quirk that you enjoyed?
• 53:25
  Speaker 3: Matt, You know, it's such a small thing. Jennifer Gray
• 53:29
  Speaker 3: really grew on me. You know, obviously when you see
• 53:31
  Speaker 3: it as a kid, she's kind of she's kind of
• 53:33
  Speaker 3: the jerk, but her little kind of nose screnched that
• 53:36
  Speaker 3: she would do either when she was pissed or she
• 53:39
  Speaker 3: was whatever. I just kind of like that. I think
• 53:41
  Speaker 3: it added something to her character. Obviously, the story of
• 53:44
  Speaker 3: Jennifer Grey getting the nose job after the fact and
• 53:46
  Speaker 3: so much changing her looks. But I kind of appreciated
• 53:49
  Speaker 3: that and enjoyed that.
• 53:50
  Speaker 2: So that was my favorite. I liked Jennifer Gray pre
• 53:52
  Speaker 2: know's job. What about you guys?
• 53:54
  Speaker 1: Yes? Agreed, Yes, agreed for sure.
• 53:58
  Speaker 2: All right, what do you got Lind's think?
• 54:00
  Speaker 1: Ferris're always talking directly to the camera?
• 54:03
  Speaker 2: Okay, okay, the fourth wall. I have Cameron's uptightness. He's
• 54:08
  Speaker 2: so uptight and you.
• 54:11
  Speaker 1: In a nutshell, so I see relate to him exactly.
• 54:15
  Speaker 2: So all right, So if you have to pick something
• 54:18
  Speaker 2: that isn't yours. What do you got.
• 54:22
  Speaker 3: It's gonna be give me Cameron's uptightness as well. I
• 54:25
  Speaker 3: like that. I liked.
• 54:29
  Speaker 1: Jennifer Gray. I liked I liked so. At first her
• 54:34
  Speaker 1: character annoys me, but then she starts to grow on me,
• 54:37
  Speaker 1: and by the end I like her.
• 54:38
  Speaker 4: So I don't.
• 54:39
  Speaker 2: Okay, well, I mean Matt said that, and uh and
• 54:42
  Speaker 2: and you agree with him, and I kind of agree
• 54:45
  Speaker 2: with that too. So we'll give Genie some love because
• 54:47
  Speaker 2: not getting a whole lot she gets not in this movie. Okay,
• 54:51
  Speaker 2: who is your favorite character overall in the movie? It
• 54:55
  Speaker 2: can be anyone, you know what.
• 54:58
  Speaker 3: Upon rewatching this and like I said, seeing it a
• 55:00
  Speaker 3: thousand times, but I probably haven't seen it in a
• 55:02
  Speaker 3: few years until yesterday. I got to be honest, I'm
• 55:05
  Speaker 3: gonna go with Sloan Oh, because Loan had her head
• 55:09
  Speaker 3: on straight. She she was she was in love like
• 55:12
  Speaker 3: young kids tend to be h but but she was
• 55:15
  Speaker 3: mature and and and kind of above her, you know,
• 55:19
  Speaker 3: beyond her years. I'm going with Sloan. Oh.
• 55:21
  Speaker 2: Well, okay, that was that was a surprising one, but
• 55:24
  Speaker 2: not nothing wrong with it.
• 55:26
  Speaker 1: I feel like we didn't need sloan, you meet it Sloan,
• 55:30
  Speaker 1: because otherwise they would have shown up to school. My
• 55:33
  Speaker 1: favorite character doesn't have to be one of the main characters,
• 55:37
  Speaker 1: to be anybody, because I'm going back to Charlie Sheen.
• 55:41
  Speaker 1: He was cracking me up.
• 55:43
  Speaker 2: Okay, I have him in my best non main characters,
• 55:46
  Speaker 2: but it doesn't have to be a main character, so
• 55:48
  Speaker 2: it can be anybody.
• 55:49
  Speaker 1: I actually went with Grace, yes, and that I can
• 55:53
  Speaker 1: I can see that too.
• 55:54
  Speaker 2: So Edie mcclark is just so brilliant in this movie
• 55:59
  Speaker 2: that she just actually make me like her because she
• 56:02
  Speaker 2: was on Rooney's side, yet she would tell him straight
• 56:06
  Speaker 2: to his face that Ferris Bueller made him look like
• 56:08
  Speaker 2: an ass. Yeah right, and she told Genie what she
• 56:12
  Speaker 2: thought of her. But she's still like doing her job.
• 56:16
  Speaker 2: So Grace is my favorite character, all right. So best
• 56:20
  Speaker 2: non main character, Grace yours is Grace. Mine's mine's Charlie
• 56:24
  Speaker 2: Sheen character. And Matt who do you got?
• 56:27
  Speaker 3: I'm gonna go with Ben Stein, okay wow, because he
• 56:30
  Speaker 3: was so earnest. He was so this is remember he
• 56:34
  Speaker 3: was a speech writer for Nixon or whatever it was
• 56:36
  Speaker 3: before that, so we didn't know her an economic advisor
• 56:39
  Speaker 3: for Nixon, so he wasn't really the public eye. This
• 56:41
  Speaker 3: was a lot of our first you know, exposure to him,
• 56:44
  Speaker 3: and so dry, but the timing was so great. I
• 56:50
  Speaker 3: loved it.
• 56:51
  Speaker 2: And you know what I love is the fact that
• 56:54
  Speaker 2: you know, we all you will hear a dry, dull
• 56:56
  Speaker 2: speaker and just be bored to tears. But for some reason,
• 57:00
  Speaker 2: him being a dry doll speaker in this movie makes
• 57:03
  Speaker 2: you laugh and I feel like, now I could go
• 57:05
  Speaker 2: listen to Ben Stein give a speech on economics and
• 57:09
  Speaker 2: be that dry and dol and enjoy the crap out
• 57:12
  Speaker 2: of it.
• 57:13
  Speaker 3: And what he was saying was all those things he
• 57:16
  Speaker 3: was saying were one hundred percent true about the Tariff
• 57:19
  Speaker 3: Act in the thirties and how it came into the
• 57:22
  Speaker 3: trickle down economics in the eighties and all that kind
• 57:24
  Speaker 3: of stuff. So it was actually truthful. And he's given
• 57:27
  Speaker 3: his dissertation there, but he's just so dry and the
• 57:30
  Speaker 3: kids are falling out. I loved it.
• 57:33
  Speaker 2: Okay, we've hit this subject numerous times, but I'm sure
• 57:37
  Speaker 2: we've all got several unanswerable questions. What questions did you
• 57:42
  Speaker 2: think of while watching the movie that you could not
• 57:45
  Speaker 2: get an answer to? Or that you would like clarification on.
• 57:49
  Speaker 2: Maybe if we put our heads together, we can come
• 57:51
  Speaker 2: up with some of those. So Lindsey, I'll let you
• 57:55
  Speaker 2: go first.
• 57:56
  Speaker 1: I feel like I've already stated several I'm going to
• 58:00
  Speaker 1: go back to Cameron in the car and his dad
• 58:05
  Speaker 1: and that.
• 58:06
  Speaker 2: Was just ridiculous. Yeah, So my question was how much
• 58:10
  Speaker 2: trouble as Cameron is? But what happens to him?
• 58:12
  Speaker 1: Did they disown him? Uh? Does he have to go
• 58:16
  Speaker 1: live with Ferris?
• 58:17
  Speaker 2: So here's what I'm saying. If I'm Cameron, I'm running
• 58:20
  Speaker 2: away from home and I'm probably changing my name and
• 58:22
  Speaker 2: you'll never see me again.
• 58:23
  Speaker 1: So Cameron almost seemed like he had been like freed
• 58:28
  Speaker 1: when that car yes off the cliff. But I mean,
• 58:31
  Speaker 1: I'm like, dude, your life's over right.
• 58:33
  Speaker 2: That's that's hundreds of thousands of dollars right there. Matt,
• 58:36
  Speaker 2: what do you think the exact same thing? It was
• 58:39
  Speaker 2: real simple. How much does Cameron's dad freak when he
• 58:41
  Speaker 2: gets home?
• 58:42
  Speaker 3: Oh? And and Cameron and the movie leaves you with that,
• 58:45
  Speaker 3: Oh it's going to be good, Like it's not. No,
• 58:48
  Speaker 3: it's not, no, it's not And I'll tell you this
• 58:51
  Speaker 3: and this kind of goes to an Honesta question about
• 58:53
  Speaker 3: the Ferrari in general, is you know the old man
• 58:55
  Speaker 3: has a garage like that with the glass doors and
• 58:58
  Speaker 3: it's it's obviously elevated or up on the side of
• 59:00
  Speaker 3: the ridge or whatever.
• 59:02
  Speaker 1: Uh.
• 59:02
  Speaker 3: In all that garage and all that, Frankly, in that,
• 59:05
  Speaker 3: in that, in that, in that means that you have
• 59:07
  Speaker 3: to have those kind of cars. You don't have any
• 59:09
  Speaker 3: other vehicle that you could have driven and it would
• 59:11
  Speaker 3: have worked out better than driving the nineteen sixty for
• 59:13
  Speaker 3: rarigt California.
• 59:15
  Speaker 2: Like come on, yeah, then have hers in there?
• 59:19
  Speaker 3: Yeah, there was like a Model T in the background.
• 59:21
  Speaker 3: There was other cars you could see too. There's not
• 59:24
  Speaker 3: no one has a toyto Camra laying around you could
• 59:26
  Speaker 3: have driven instead, Like, come on, what else you got, Lindsay.
• 59:32
  Speaker 1: That's my that's my big one. We've talked about this.
• 59:35
  Speaker 1: How does everyone know Ferris? And I obviously, I mean,
• 59:38
  Speaker 1: I'm not going to second guess the whole all the teenagers,
• 59:41
  Speaker 1: no Fares, all the kids, no Ferris, adults, no Farris.
• 59:44
  Speaker 1: Everybody in Chicago knows Fair.
• 59:46
  Speaker 2: There was someone that Wrigley Field, you know, thing before
• 59:50
  Speaker 2: you walk in.
• 59:52
  Speaker 1: That's crazy.
• 59:53
  Speaker 2: So it said, save Fair, Save Ferris. Are the newspaper
• 59:59
  Speaker 2: h it.
• 59:59
  Speaker 1: Said on the water tower, say Ferris.
• 1:00:03
  Speaker 3: And only the thing that I have along those lines
• 1:00:06
  Speaker 3: is less of an unanswerable question and more of an
• 1:00:09
  Speaker 3: unanswerable prediction. I think Ferris and Cameron never speak again
• 1:00:13
  Speaker 3: after the first sort of semester of college because Cameron
• 1:00:18
  Speaker 3: comes to realize that Ferris was a manipulative little prick,
• 1:00:21
  Speaker 3: and that becomes that Yes.
• 1:00:25
  Speaker 2: I would agree with that, all right, So here's what
• 1:00:28
  Speaker 2: I wrote down for unanswerable questions. Did Cameron have the
• 1:00:33
  Speaker 2: fanciest bedroom phone of any teenager in the world in
• 1:00:37
  Speaker 2: nineteen eighty six? I mean he had a speaker phone.
• 1:00:40
  Speaker 2: Looks like he has multiple lines. He's got an answering machine.
• 1:00:43
  Speaker 2: I mean he's got it all. He can just reach over,
• 1:00:45
  Speaker 2: click a button and talk from bed without ever moving.
• 1:00:48
  Speaker 3: Yeah, agreed.
• 1:00:51
  Speaker 2: Why did Rooney have the flip down sunglasses like he's
• 1:00:55
  Speaker 2: playing right field at Wrigley Field.
• 1:01:01
  Speaker 3: It wouldn't made more sense if he had glasses glasses
• 1:01:04
  Speaker 3: the old Dwayne Wade Yeah thing, Dwayne Wade, Yes, but
• 1:01:08
  Speaker 3: it was so dorky in the moment because he flips
• 1:01:11
  Speaker 3: them off. It's just so stupid.
• 1:01:14
  Speaker 2: How long was Rooney at Ferris's house?
• 1:01:17
  Speaker 1: I mean all day?
• 1:01:18
  Speaker 2: He had like five tickets and then got towed Like
• 1:01:21
  Speaker 2: that was not You've got to be there for weeks
• 1:01:24
  Speaker 2: all day.
• 1:01:26
  Speaker 3: We know about foreshadowing. Jeffrey Jones sure like to spend
• 1:01:30
  Speaker 3: time with underage boys. Oh come on, somebody had to
• 1:01:34
  Speaker 3: say it.
• 1:01:35
  Speaker 1: I mean he gives that vibe.
• 1:01:37
  Speaker 3: No, he got. He got arrested for that vibe in
• 1:01:40
  Speaker 3: twenty twenty two, so yeah he did. Yeah. That wasn't
• 1:01:44
  Speaker 3: just That wasn't just left field hating.
• 1:01:45
  Speaker 2: That was No, that was that was real. Where did
• 1:01:50
  Speaker 2: Farris and Sloan get the bathing suits from? And whose
• 1:01:52
  Speaker 2: house were they?
• 1:01:53
  Speaker 1: I think that's that's their undies. No, Farris had on
• 1:01:57
  Speaker 1: swim trunks or do you think it was boxer I
• 1:02:00
  Speaker 1: think those were because they look like silk boxers. I
• 1:02:03
  Speaker 1: think that was his undies. And I know that that
• 1:02:05
  Speaker 1: was her undies.
• 1:02:08
  Speaker 3: In the first part of the scene, looks like Ferris
• 1:02:10
  Speaker 3: is wearing swimming trunks and when he when he rescues
• 1:02:13
  Speaker 3: Cameron and comes back up, it's like one of those
• 1:02:16
  Speaker 3: is like boxer legs. Yeah, I'm not sure.
• 1:02:19
  Speaker 2: Yeah, And I and I thought the At first, Sloan
• 1:02:22
  Speaker 2: just had like a slip on, but when they come back,
• 1:02:24
  Speaker 2: it looks like she's got a bathing suit on. So
• 1:02:26
  Speaker 2: I think there's some maybe in congruency there, And Matt
• 1:02:31
  Speaker 2: already brought this up. But why is there a bus
• 1:02:35
  Speaker 2: full of students driving down the road at six pm?
• 1:02:37
  Speaker 2: How long do those kids go to school? I mean,
• 1:02:40
  Speaker 2: like that wasn't a sports team or anything like that.
• 1:02:42
  Speaker 2: Have the staggered schedules like we have now six pm? Yeah,
• 1:02:47
  Speaker 2: but Ferris, like Farris wakes up it's eight pm and
• 1:02:50
  Speaker 2: he's our eight am, and like he's already on the
• 1:02:52
  Speaker 2: phone with somebody at school, So like are they going
• 1:02:55
  Speaker 2: from eight to five?
• 1:02:56
  Speaker 4: Like?
• 1:02:57
  Speaker 2: How long is that?
• 1:02:59
  Speaker 3: It's early in mid April and it's six pm in Chicago.
• 1:03:03
  Speaker 3: That's still getting dark and it wasn't getting dark. But
• 1:03:05
  Speaker 3: why are they in the bus? That's a whole thing.
• 1:03:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly, all right, So we've added two new categories
• 1:03:13
  Speaker 2: to this, which I think is gonna make it fun.
• 1:03:17
  Speaker 2: What existing role could Gary Busey have played that would
• 1:03:20
  Speaker 2: have added something to this movie? Now it can be
• 1:03:24
  Speaker 2: a small or a big role, but it must be
• 1:03:27
  Speaker 2: age and gender appropriate. So you can't have him playing
• 1:03:29
  Speaker 2: Genie or Grace or anything like that. It would have
• 1:03:34
  Speaker 2: made it would have added something to the movie. It
• 1:03:37
  Speaker 2: wouldn't have taken away from the movie.
• 1:03:40
  Speaker 1: What do you got I think if he could have
• 1:03:43
  Speaker 1: been the parking lot attendance, Oh my gosh, that's exactly
• 1:03:47
  Speaker 1: what I had.
• 1:03:47
  Speaker 3: No, exactly what I have too, That's exactly what I have.
• 1:03:52
  Speaker 1: That's that crazy look he has. It's like speeding off
• 1:03:55
  Speaker 1: in the car.
• 1:03:56
  Speaker 2: Yes, Gary Busey could have totally played the part of
• 1:03:59
  Speaker 2: the guy in the ground.
• 1:04:00
  Speaker 3: You speak English, I had, I had, so I said,
• 1:04:06
  Speaker 3: you know, the easy answer is Rooney. That's the easy answer, right,
• 1:04:09
  Speaker 3: But I absolutely the parking attendant because that guy was great,
• 1:04:12
  Speaker 3: and that guy was a great part. But imagine crazy
• 1:04:15
  Speaker 3: eyed hair, all screwed up Gary Busey coming around the corner,
• 1:04:20
  Speaker 3: you know whatever.
• 1:04:21
  Speaker 2: Yeah, And I think if if Gary Busey plays Rooney,
• 1:04:25
  Speaker 2: he probably ends up killing Ferris in some kind of
• 1:04:28
  Speaker 2: mom like flashback.
• 1:04:30
  Speaker 1: So something.
• 1:04:34
  Speaker 2: All right, So it's funny. What main character could Gary
• 1:04:38
  Speaker 2: Busey have played that would have completely changed the tone
• 1:04:43
  Speaker 2: of the movie or ruined the movie? And again, must
• 1:04:45
  Speaker 2: be gender appropriate somewhere close to egg doesn't. I mean,
• 1:04:50
  Speaker 2: I guess you could have him played Ferris, but come on,
• 1:04:52
  Speaker 2: I mean, that's not that's not a realistic vibees.
• 1:04:56
  Speaker 1: Play Charlie Sheen's part, and it would have ringed it
• 1:05:00
  Speaker 1: because the age difference would have been it.
• 1:05:05
  Speaker 3: Exactly what I have the Charlie Sheen park because then
• 1:05:08
  Speaker 3: it's him preying on a teenage girl with that gary
• 1:05:11
  Speaker 3: lucy look, which would have been right kind of flowing
• 1:05:14
  Speaker 3: it away, but it would have ruined it in a way.
• 1:05:16
  Speaker 3: So that's exactly what I have with the Sheene role.
• 1:05:18
  Speaker 1: If she haud have played it just the same as
• 1:05:21
  Speaker 1: she did with Charlie Sheen, but it was Gary baucy
• 1:05:24
  Speaker 1: and she was all like giggling, and I mean.
• 1:05:27
  Speaker 3: That would have been a stare maybe just short of
• 1:05:30
  Speaker 3: the kissing. Yeah, but it would have been Yeah, it
• 1:05:32
  Speaker 3: would have been. It could have been like a cape
• 1:05:34
  Speaker 3: fear thing that way.
• 1:05:38
  Speaker 2: So I had either either Ferris's dad or Ed Rooney.
• 1:05:43
  Speaker 2: But like I said, if if he's Rooney, he's gonna
• 1:05:46
  Speaker 2: catch Ferris and probably kill him. If he's Ferris's dad,
• 1:05:50
  Speaker 2: that changes, yeah, he's probably like get your on it, yes,
• 1:05:55
  Speaker 2: and get to school, all right. So Matt, you mentioned
• 1:06:02
  Speaker 2: earlier that you were a hockey fan. So the last
• 1:06:06
  Speaker 2: thing that we do here is the three stars of
• 1:06:09
  Speaker 2: the movie. So think like hockey, right, the third star,
• 1:06:13
  Speaker 2: the second star, and then the first star. So who
• 1:06:17
  Speaker 2: do you have for three to two?
• 1:06:19
  Speaker 3: And then one three two and then one? I have?
• 1:06:23
  Speaker 3: I have Jeffrey Jones for three? I have you know,
• 1:06:26
  Speaker 3: the Rooney character so iconic in the moment. You know,
• 1:06:30
  Speaker 3: when I started high school just four years later in
• 1:06:33
  Speaker 3: nineteen ninety, my all name names. My assistant principal was
• 1:06:37
  Speaker 3: Don Dome, and he looked just like Jeffrey Jones, had
• 1:06:40
  Speaker 3: that nineteen eighties mustache the same way, and we used
• 1:06:45
  Speaker 3: to think of him as Rooney. We called him Rooney.
• 1:06:47
  Speaker 3: He was a quintessential principal figure that time. I'll give
• 1:06:51
  Speaker 3: it to him Number two, Jennifer Gray. I think that
• 1:06:54
  Speaker 3: that that performance has really with time, I've grown to
• 1:06:58
  Speaker 3: appreciate it more. I don't think I appreciate when I
• 1:07:00
  Speaker 3: was younger as much as I do now. And that
• 1:07:02
  Speaker 3: Pontiac Fierira was awesome all the way. And then number
• 1:07:06
  Speaker 3: one for me, I gotta go with Cameron alan Ruck
• 1:07:09
  Speaker 3: conveying all the inner emotions of somebody who's kind of tormented.
• 1:07:14
  Speaker 3: The ending was a little bit abrupt, but you know,
• 1:07:17
  Speaker 3: conveying all those emotions and all that thing. I really
• 1:07:19
  Speaker 3: loved that. I thought he really for me. He was
• 1:07:22
  Speaker 3: he was a number one star of the movie because
• 1:07:24
  Speaker 3: he was I think, a kind of fully fleshed out
• 1:07:27
  Speaker 3: character in a way, in a lot of ways.
• 1:07:29
  Speaker 2: Okay, lindsay, who do you got?
• 1:07:31
  Speaker 1: I think I gotta go number three, John Hughes, Okay,
• 1:07:35
  Speaker 1: because he's John Hughes and the movie is iconic. Two
• 1:07:41
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna be Edie mcclurk. Okay, I'm gonna I might
• 1:07:48
  Speaker 1: get some pushback. I think I've got to go Matthew Broderick.
• 1:07:50
  Speaker 2: In number one. Okay, any explanation as to why you
• 1:07:53
  Speaker 2: went those three to one people?
• 1:07:55
  Speaker 1: Well, John Hughes, I mean, because he's iconic and this
• 1:07:59
  Speaker 1: movie is like and it wouldn't have been this movie
• 1:08:01
  Speaker 1: wouldn't have been without him. Two Edie mcclerk. She wasn't
• 1:08:06
  Speaker 1: in very many scenes, but she stole to me every
• 1:08:09
  Speaker 1: scene that she was in she did and if you've
• 1:08:12
  Speaker 1: seen the movie, you remember her. And then one, I
• 1:08:17
  Speaker 1: mean Ferris, it was all the day, was all about Ferris.
• 1:08:21
  Speaker 1: It was kind of Ferris's show and whether he was
• 1:08:25
  Speaker 1: a narcissist or a terrible friend or whatever. I mean. Matthew, Yeah,
• 1:08:30
  Speaker 1: the movie was still about him, and Matthew Broderick did
• 1:08:32
  Speaker 1: a good job playing him.
• 1:08:33
  Speaker 2: Okay, so here are my three. Number three, I have
• 1:08:37
  Speaker 2: lyman Ward and Cindy Pickett together. One because they're clueless
• 1:08:42
  Speaker 2: and believing parents. But two they also got married because
• 1:08:44
  Speaker 2: of this movie. Number two is Lindsay mentioned earlier or not?
• 1:08:48
  Speaker 2: Number two? Besides that, they would appear again as a
• 1:08:51
  Speaker 2: married couple in the nineteen ninety two movie Sleepwalkers and
• 1:08:55
  Speaker 2: then divorced that same year, so you can understand why
• 1:08:57
  Speaker 2: they got married because of Ferris and understand why they
• 1:09:00
  Speaker 2: got divorced because of Sleepwalkers. And then, not to be outdone,
• 1:09:05
  Speaker 2: Matthew Brodrick and Jennifer Gray secretly dated during and after
• 1:09:09
  Speaker 2: the filming, and they were even engaged for a while. Okay,
• 1:09:13
  Speaker 2: so then the they're three. Number two is Alan Ruck.
• 1:09:16
  Speaker 2: Like matt said, he's perfect as Cameron, and to me,
• 1:09:20
  Speaker 2: he probably does the best acting job of anybody in
• 1:09:22
  Speaker 2: the whole movie. He's probably the best actor in the movie.
• 1:09:24
  Speaker 2: Number One, I agree with Lindsay. It is Matthew, Brodrec
• 1:09:27
  Speaker 2: and Briderick. And here's why, because prior to this film
• 1:09:30
  Speaker 2: he had did Max Dugan Returns, Wargames nineteen eighty and
• 1:09:34
  Speaker 2: Lady Hawk, and that's it. This movie actually made him
• 1:09:37
  Speaker 2: a household name. Yep, and so to me, that's why
• 1:09:39
  Speaker 2: he's the number one star of the movie. Now, normally
• 1:09:46
  Speaker 2: this is where we would in the show. However, there
• 1:09:49
  Speaker 2: are fan theories of this movie that I'm sure you
• 1:09:52
  Speaker 2: both have heard, so I just want to talk about
• 1:09:55
  Speaker 2: a couple of those real quick. The There's something called
• 1:10:01
  Speaker 2: the fever dream theory. Huh, that Ferris really was sick
• 1:10:04
  Speaker 2: at home and all of his adventures were just a
• 1:10:07
  Speaker 2: fever dream with some nightmarish moments with everyone. His breaking
• 1:10:11
  Speaker 2: of the fourth wall is really just him talking to himself. Lindsey,
• 1:10:16
  Speaker 2: what are your thoughts on that theory?
• 1:10:18
  Speaker 1: No, I mean, okay, and that's that's a funny theory.
• 1:10:22
  Speaker 1: Now I don't see any.
• 1:10:23
  Speaker 2: Any validity too, all right, what about you, matt.
• 1:10:30
  Speaker 3: You know it could be it could be a fever
• 1:10:32
  Speaker 3: dream of Cameron's too, because he wants to break out
• 1:10:34
  Speaker 3: and break away. So that's the either side of him
• 1:10:37
  Speaker 3: that wants to get out, and his buddy who's always
• 1:10:40
  Speaker 3: pushing him around could be that too. No, I don't
• 1:10:43
  Speaker 3: see that, but it's about as plausible as them getting
• 1:10:46
  Speaker 3: all that shit done in Chicago traffic as they did
• 1:10:48
  Speaker 3: in one single day.
• 1:10:49
  Speaker 2: So uh, all right. Theory number two This is Cameron's
• 1:10:55
  Speaker 2: imagination theory, or as I like to call it, the
• 1:10:59
  Speaker 2: fight club theory.
• 1:11:01
  Speaker 3: Right, That's what I was thinking.
• 1:11:02
  Speaker 2: Cameron creates Ferris in his mind. Ferris is the total
• 1:11:07
  Speaker 2: opposite of Cameron. He's fund spontaneous and has a loving
• 1:11:10
  Speaker 2: family and a foxy girlfriend. At the beginning of the film,
• 1:11:14
  Speaker 2: the imaginary Ferris convinces a bedridden camera to borrow his
• 1:11:19
  Speaker 2: dad's Ferrari two fifty GT California and cruise all over Chicago.
• 1:11:25
  Speaker 2: Given Cameron's crushing social incompetence, it's likely that Sloan is
• 1:11:30
  Speaker 2: fictional to and represents a girl that he has a
• 1:11:32
  Speaker 2: crush on. This theory explains the more fantastic elements of
• 1:11:36
  Speaker 2: the film. For example, the whole city of Chicago rallies
• 1:11:39
  Speaker 2: around the sick Ferris. This represents Cameron's miserable home life
• 1:11:44
  Speaker 2: and how he yearns for friends and family who give
• 1:11:49
  Speaker 2: a crap.
• 1:11:51
  Speaker 1: I mean that's pretty dark. So he's out and about
• 1:11:54
  Speaker 1: doing all this stuff by himself, Yes, like he's gone mad. Yes,
• 1:11:59
  Speaker 1: I mean I don't like that. I thought that's uncomfortable.
• 1:12:04
  Speaker 3: There there's something there. If you think about that scene
• 1:12:06
  Speaker 3: in the in the in the museum with the painting,
• 1:12:09
  Speaker 3: it goes back and forth and gets really introspective that
• 1:12:12
  Speaker 3: they didn't see anybody else going through that. So it's
• 1:12:16
  Speaker 3: the it's the fight club theory, it's the whole you know,
• 1:12:18
  Speaker 3: whatever it was, whatever that guy's name was, you know
• 1:12:22
  Speaker 3: ed Norton and Brad Pitt's that theory could be.
• 1:12:25
  Speaker 2: Could be, So here was another one under that theory.
• 1:12:28
  Speaker 2: Or perhaps Bueller is a guy Cameron knows but isn't
• 1:12:32
  Speaker 2: friends with, and his fantasy is based on what he
• 1:12:35
  Speaker 2: imagines life to be like for the popular kid at school.
• 1:12:38
  Speaker 2: Everything is easy in the world where evolves around them.
• 1:12:41
  Speaker 2: When Cameron accidentally trashes his father's Ferrari, he realizes that
• 1:12:45
  Speaker 2: he needs to stick up to his father and take
• 1:12:47
  Speaker 2: responsibility for his home life. At this point, he disposes
• 1:12:51
  Speaker 2: the Ferris and Sloan, both of his fictional friends, receive
• 1:12:54
  Speaker 2: happy endings. Sloane is left pondering marrying Ferris, whereas Ferris
• 1:12:57
  Speaker 2: safely returns home where he can break the fourth wall
• 1:13:00
  Speaker 2: for eternity.
• 1:13:05
  Speaker 3: You think about the reality implications of when when Cameron's
• 1:13:09
  Speaker 3: dad gets home and is like, what the hell happened
• 1:13:11
  Speaker 3: and he says, oh, you know, me and Ferris we
• 1:13:14
  Speaker 3: took the car. But then this guy's gonna go after
• 1:13:16
  Speaker 3: ferris parents. I mean that there's a lot to think
• 1:13:18
  Speaker 3: about there to wonder if it's not just some sort
• 1:13:21
  Speaker 3: of like a Bobby Ewing dream sequence.
• 1:13:22
  Speaker 2: Could be a nice callback, I mean, yeah, it could be.
• 1:13:27
  Speaker 1: Again, this just all makes me uncomfortable because it means
• 1:13:30
  Speaker 1: Cameron's pretty sick in the head, y'all.
• 1:13:32
  Speaker 2: I mean he was in bed and he is uptight.
• 1:13:37
  Speaker 2: All right, Well, I just wanted to throw those to
• 1:13:40
  Speaker 2: you see what you thought.
• 1:13:43
  Speaker 3: Possible? All right?
• 1:13:45
  Speaker 2: Final thoughts about the movie? What do you have to
• 1:13:46
  Speaker 2: say if if you're just wrapping up, and what rating
• 1:13:49
  Speaker 2: do you give for it?
• 1:13:51
  Speaker 1: Like rating is like what's one to ten.
• 1:13:54
  Speaker 2: Like one to ten or one to five or what? Well, yeah, whatever,
• 1:14:00
  Speaker 2: I mean.
• 1:14:00
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna give it like a nine. I mean, it's
• 1:14:05
  Speaker 1: you know, it's a it's a. It's a really good
• 1:14:07
  Speaker 1: eighties movie. If you you just can't overthink it because
• 1:14:10
  Speaker 1: it's ridiculous.
• 1:14:11
  Speaker 2: Any final thoughts on the movie.
• 1:14:13
  Speaker 1: I can't wait for Emmy to watch it.
• 1:14:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, Matt, what about you? Any final thoughts on
• 1:14:19
  Speaker 2: the movie?
• 1:14:21
  Speaker 3: You know, I believe this is when during COVID, when
• 1:14:24
  Speaker 3: we were all home, this is when I showed a
• 1:14:26
  Speaker 3: bunch of movies to my kids that they may not
• 1:14:27
  Speaker 3: have seen before. And you know, I think this was
• 1:14:30
  Speaker 3: one of them, like old schools, one of them things
• 1:14:32
  Speaker 3: like that took the restrict off a little bit and
• 1:14:34
  Speaker 3: let them have some fun. I don't know if it
• 1:14:36
  Speaker 3: holds up quite as much. That's why I wanted to
• 1:14:38
  Speaker 3: ask lindsay, if you saw this after you got married,
• 1:14:42
  Speaker 3: it's a different perspective than having watched it when I
• 1:14:44
  Speaker 3: was ten and then growing up with it, right, So
• 1:14:48
  Speaker 3: I think it it for for kids nowadays, it may
• 1:14:51
  Speaker 3: not quite hold up. But for those of us it's
• 1:14:53
  Speaker 3: it's a seminal moment. And and you know, for me,
• 1:14:55
  Speaker 3: it's it's even with the things that you look at
• 1:14:58
  Speaker 3: from a different prism. You see, you see fair says
• 1:15:00
  Speaker 3: a little prick now and you kind of want to
• 1:15:02
  Speaker 3: punch him in the face. Yes, but at the same
• 1:15:04
  Speaker 3: time it was it was you know, it was the
• 1:15:08
  Speaker 3: height of being you know, cool at that moment. So
• 1:15:11
  Speaker 3: I'm going to give it. I'm gonna give it a
• 1:15:12
  Speaker 3: strong nine out of ten as well.
• 1:15:13
  Speaker 2: Okay, so I would have thought that watching this movie
• 1:15:19
  Speaker 2: as an adult would have changed my perspective and I
• 1:15:21
  Speaker 2: would have been rooting for Rooney. However, I still find
• 1:15:25
  Speaker 2: myself rooting for Ferris. But I do agree that he
• 1:15:29
  Speaker 2: is a horrible friend, and I don't think that's something
• 1:15:31
  Speaker 2: that I really noticed as a kid. I thought maybe
• 1:15:33
  Speaker 2: Cameron was just being a baby and Ferris was trying
• 1:15:36
  Speaker 2: to get him out of that, which may be the case.
• 1:15:38
  Speaker 2: But looking back on it, I had friends like that,
• 1:15:41
  Speaker 2: and so I had a horrible friend that was all
• 1:15:44
  Speaker 2: about himself and that would try to push you into
• 1:15:47
  Speaker 2: doing stuff that you didn't want to do. And so
• 1:15:49
  Speaker 2: I see that in Ferris now, and I don't really
• 1:15:52
  Speaker 2: like him, yet I still root for him to not
• 1:15:55
  Speaker 2: get caught by Rooney. There's still that little bit of
• 1:15:58
  Speaker 2: a kid in me, but almost like like a wiser kid.
• 1:16:01
  Speaker 2: I also give this movie a nine out of ten.
• 1:16:05
  Speaker 2: I just think it's a classic eighties movie. It's one
• 1:16:07
  Speaker 2: of those if if somebody said, hey, I need twenty
• 1:16:11
  Speaker 2: five movies that define the Eighties that I need to watch,
• 1:16:13
  Speaker 2: I think I'm putting this on the list.
• 1:16:15
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah, for sure, it has to be, and I'll
• 1:16:20
  Speaker 3: put it personally for me, I'll play it above things
• 1:16:22
  Speaker 3: like this may be sacrilege. I'll play it above Breakfast Club.
• 1:16:26
  Speaker 3: I think this speaks to that sort of lighthearted thing
• 1:16:31
  Speaker 3: a little more than The Breakfast Club is trying to
• 1:16:33
  Speaker 3: be so heavy handed and so angsty. I think it's
• 1:16:36
  Speaker 3: it's right there. It's a top. It's a top. You know,
• 1:16:38
  Speaker 3: maybe ten movies of the eighties for me.
• 1:16:40
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I would. You know, they're different movies, right, Breakfast
• 1:16:46
  Speaker 2: Club means a lot if you're a moody teenager and
• 1:16:48
  Speaker 2: you're trying to figure out who you are. But this
• 1:16:52
  Speaker 2: movie is going to be entertaining for everybody. I don't
• 1:16:54
  Speaker 2: know that maybe our parents would understand The Breakfast Club
• 1:16:59
  Speaker 2: like we might, but they would certainly love and enjoy
• 1:17:03
  Speaker 2: Ferris Mueller, unless they were like Matt's grandpa and thought
• 1:17:07
  Speaker 2: he was a little punk that Matt shouldn't act like.
• 1:17:10
  Speaker 3: All right, Well, news for Jim cook it turned out
• 1:17:14
  Speaker 3: more like Farris than he might have thought.
• 1:17:16
  Speaker 2: So, Matt, we want to thank you for coming on
• 1:17:20
  Speaker 2: to the show. Really appreciate it. We know you love
• 1:17:23
  Speaker 2: Ferris and we love having you on as always.
• 1:17:26
  Speaker 3: Thank you so much. I appreciate being with you, guys.
• 1:17:28
  Speaker 3: I love what you're doing, you know. Shot out to
• 1:17:31
  Speaker 3: the people that have helped bring us together over the
• 1:17:32
  Speaker 3: years and the different podcasts, all the friends we made
• 1:17:34
  Speaker 3: along the way. Just love hanging out with you guys.
• 1:17:37
  Speaker 3: Appreciated anything we can do for your podcast journey, for
• 1:17:41
  Speaker 3: your health journey. I've always love to be part of it.
• 1:17:43
  Speaker 3: So thank you for having me. Guys.
• 1:17:44
  Speaker 2: So you have wrapped up your podcast Spinning the Wheel.
• 1:17:47
  Speaker 2: You got any other plans or you just you retired
• 1:17:50
  Speaker 2: for good?
• 1:17:51
  Speaker 3: You know, I'm retired. I did reach out and I'll
• 1:17:56
  Speaker 3: make it public because I haven't heard back from I
• 1:17:59
  Speaker 3: listened to a pot of Bill Maher interviewing Kevin Spacey,
• 1:18:02
  Speaker 3: and I thought it was the most ridiculous thing I
• 1:18:04
  Speaker 3: ever heard in my life.
• 1:18:05
  Speaker 1: You know, I watched that. It was insane.
• 1:18:09
  Speaker 3: It was okay, Kevin Spacey, you can judge on its
• 1:18:12
  Speaker 3: own merits. And I'll hear that I like Kevin Spacey.
• 1:18:15
  Speaker 3: I like Kevin Spacey movies. I like Kevin Spacey the actor.
• 1:18:18
  Speaker 3: I think he needs to have a better way of
• 1:18:21
  Speaker 3: telling his story in all of its forms, whether you
• 1:18:24
  Speaker 3: like it or you don't, whether you're against them or
• 1:18:26
  Speaker 3: you're not. I thought Bill Maher was a childish, little
• 1:18:29
  Speaker 3: pricky one, kept making kept making stupid fifteen year old
• 1:18:33
  Speaker 3: gay jokes, and I was just like dude. So I
• 1:18:35
  Speaker 3: reached out to Spacey and his manager both and I
• 1:18:38
  Speaker 3: just said, hey, I'm nobody. I had this little podcast
• 1:18:41
  Speaker 3: and I dealt with sexuality on a podcast for one
• 1:18:43
  Speaker 3: hundred and sixteen episodes about George Michael and those kind
• 1:18:45
  Speaker 3: of things, And if you ever want to tell your story,
• 1:18:47
  Speaker 3: even like a ten episode sort of thing, I'd love
• 1:18:51
  Speaker 3: to help out. And that's the only something like that
• 1:18:54
  Speaker 3: that was very limited that I could do. Would be
• 1:18:56
  Speaker 3: something I would come out of retirement for. But other
• 1:18:58
  Speaker 3: than that, I think I'm I think I'm pretty much
• 1:19:00
  Speaker 3: hanging it up and I'll just be a professional guest star. Matt.
• 1:19:03
  Speaker 1: If you hear back from Kevin Spacey, I need to
• 1:19:06
  Speaker 1: be like the third person you call, okay, because I
• 1:19:10
  Speaker 1: need to hear about this.
• 1:19:13
  Speaker 3: I'll keep it in mind. I'm trying a couple of
• 1:19:15
  Speaker 3: different avenues. Is his manager is Evan Lowenstein from the
• 1:19:19
  Speaker 3: Evan and Jaron duo of pop fame in the two thousands,
• 1:19:24
  Speaker 3: and so we'll see, we'll see what happens. I mean,
• 1:19:26
  Speaker 3: as I said on the thing to him, I'm not
• 1:19:27
  Speaker 3: I'm not Joe Rogan with a million lock Gast listeners
• 1:19:30
  Speaker 3: or all that kind of stuff. But you need to
• 1:19:32
  Speaker 3: tell your story, and I think it could be told
• 1:19:34
  Speaker 3: with better with better respect for just a person, forget
• 1:19:39
  Speaker 3: all the things that Kevin Spacey is bad and good.
• 1:19:42
  Speaker 3: It could be told with better respect for a human
• 1:19:44
  Speaker 3: being than what that Bill Maher thing.
• 1:19:47
  Speaker 1: I couldn't tell. Was Bill Maher like making fun of him?
• 1:19:54
  Speaker 3: Yes?
• 1:19:55
  Speaker 1: Was respect. At one point I was like, is this
• 1:19:58
  Speaker 1: a parody? Is Kevin Spacey in on the joke?
• 1:20:03
  Speaker 3: Like I know, I don't, and I don't think you. Look,
• 1:20:06
  Speaker 3: Kevin Spacey doesn't have a lot of mainstream coverage in
• 1:20:08
  Speaker 3: America for obvious reasons anymore. Okay, Bill Maher brings him on. Okay,
• 1:20:13
  Speaker 3: and and and if you want to have a serious conversation,
• 1:20:15
  Speaker 3: and Bill Mar's probably getting high as a kite while
• 1:20:17
  Speaker 3: he's doing it. If you want to have a serious conversation,
• 1:20:19
  Speaker 3: that's one thing, then have a conversation. But it was
• 1:20:21
  Speaker 3: like it was like he was talking about I mean,
• 1:20:25
  Speaker 3: i'll just use an example, he was talking about being
• 1:20:27
  Speaker 3: in a play, and and Bill Maher kept saying things like,
• 1:20:30
  Speaker 3: you know you're you're you're playing the man part right
• 1:20:33
  Speaker 3: in address? Right, Yeah, we get it. Well he's gay, Yeah, Like,
• 1:20:37
  Speaker 3: can we not be twelve year olds here? And like
• 1:20:40
  Speaker 3: one or two of those jokes, I get it. It's
• 1:20:42
  Speaker 3: we're all okay, we're all idiot boys.
• 1:20:45
  Speaker 4: I get it.
• 1:20:45
  Speaker 3: But like an hour and a half of that, and
• 1:20:47
  Speaker 3: every time I went back and watched the thing, you
• 1:20:50
  Speaker 3: can see Kevin Spacey tried to smile through it. But
• 1:20:52
  Speaker 3: that's just rude, dude, that's just rude.
• 1:20:54
  Speaker 1: No, it was very rude.
• 1:20:55
  Speaker 3: We'll see. I don't know. I don't want to say
• 1:20:57
  Speaker 3: I'm retired forever because I don't want to just say never.
• 1:21:00
  Speaker 4: But you never know.
