- 1:02Speaker 3: I have said a number of times I love and
- 1:06Speaker 3: I do have like a kind of like a romantic
- 1:10Speaker 3: outlook on the idea of sitting down like that whole
- 1:14Speaker 3: It sounds so nice, like like when someone says, curl
- 1:17Speaker 3: up and read a book, like getting getting getting comfortable,
- 1:21Speaker 3: like on a couch or in a nice chair. And yeah,
- 1:26Speaker 3: Like I'll see people in places sitting on a beach
- 1:30Speaker 3: just kind of reading the book and they're so into it.
- 1:32Speaker 3: My wife will do that. It's fun and and she
- 1:34Speaker 3: loves it. And I go, man, I wish I had
- 1:37Speaker 3: the attention span. I wish I had the focus to
- 1:40Speaker 3: be able to sit and do it. Because there's so
- 1:41Speaker 3: many books that I hear about that I go, wow,
- 1:43Speaker 3: that sounds really interesting. I'll go as far as to
- 1:45Speaker 3: buy them, and then I don't read them. Yeah, and
- 1:48Speaker 3: and they'll sit there. I wonder if you just haven't
- 1:50Speaker 3: found the right author yet. Could be because like again
- 1:56Speaker 3: I'm interested in the subject, or it's it's not even
- 1:58Speaker 3: like I don't.
- 1:59Speaker 2: I don't want to tell you fiction.
- 2:01Speaker 4: I don't.
- 2:02Speaker 2: Yeah, I can. I can't.
- 2:03Speaker 3: Like I've read, you know, some Stephen King books back
- 2:07Speaker 3: in the day, you know, things like that. But I
- 2:08Speaker 3: also do like my I would say, primarily it would
- 2:11Speaker 3: be more nonfiction that I'd be interested in.
- 2:14Speaker 5: School books wise, obviously you're a bad school skull, are
- 2:17Speaker 5: but now you've been having to learn for this flight
- 2:19Speaker 5: lesson stuff.
- 2:20Speaker 3: I don't like anything where you have to do it,
- 2:23Speaker 3: you know what I mean, like where where it's like, no,
- 2:26Speaker 3: you're going to read and learn about this that that
- 2:29Speaker 3: doesn't like I want to go, oh that sounds interesting
- 2:33Speaker 3: and then pick it up and read about.
- 2:34Speaker 2: You personality disorder.
- 2:36Speaker 4: It sounds like it.
- 2:37Speaker 1: Yeah, it's just it's just less interesting.
- 2:39Speaker 4: Well, but maybe it's the space. Like we have this
- 2:41Speaker 4: little bonus room and we put books in it and
- 2:44Speaker 4: a nice.
- 2:44Speaker 1: Chair and a globe.
- 2:46Speaker 2: So fine.
- 2:49Speaker 6: I've had never had that interest. Now you're talking about oh,
- 2:52Speaker 6: like you know, walking by on a beach and seeing
- 2:54Speaker 6: somebody read, like there's the water right there, I get
- 2:56Speaker 6: and see it.
- 2:57Speaker 4: Yeah, you were going off when you saw somebody reading
- 3:00Speaker 4: on so bitch.
- 3:04Speaker 6: Next to yeah, super ultra hips are young Jake, probably
- 3:07Speaker 6: in her early twenties.
- 3:09Speaker 2: And minding her business reading a book.
- 3:10Speaker 1: Reading a book.
- 3:11Speaker 6: But you know, yeah, but you know she was wearing
- 3:15Speaker 6: the hips or uniform just the show.
- 3:17Speaker 1: Bitch, look at me.
- 3:19Speaker 6: I'm better than everybody on this plane that is listening
- 3:22Speaker 6: to something or watching something.
- 3:23Speaker 1: I'm reading my book. That's totally probably what she.
- 3:26Speaker 3: Was what most people did, So I'm I'm curious as
- 3:34Speaker 3: to what about her. Bothers you so much compared to
- 3:39Speaker 3: because for everything else you go, oh whatever, let people
- 3:42Speaker 3: enjoy stuff.
- 3:43Speaker 1: But that's that's that's typically your vibe on things. Yeah,
- 3:46Speaker 1: nd percent.
- 3:47Speaker 2: Okay, so what is it about this thing you?
- 3:49Speaker 6: Because she just had the hips her uniform, which is clothing.
- 3:55Speaker 6: It's very hard to describe, but I would just say, like,
- 3:59Speaker 6: like somebody that you wearing.
- 4:01Speaker 4: Uh, did she like the wolf haircut?
- 4:03Speaker 6: Yeah, she had a very hips her head and your cut.
- 4:06Speaker 6: But the easiest way to describe it for the audience
- 4:09Speaker 6: would be somebody that would be shopping at urban outfitters.
- 4:12Speaker 2: They like to wear ironic T shirts with like long skirts.
- 4:15Speaker 6: Yeah, and it's yeah basically, so it's yeah. So she
- 4:19Speaker 6: was just wearing like normal clothes and she was reading
- 4:21Speaker 6: a book. It would not stick out to me at all,
- 4:23Speaker 6: but I knew she was going out of her way
- 4:26Speaker 6: to be like, look.
- 4:27Speaker 1: At me, I'm reading my.
- 4:29Speaker 6: H I'm better than you?
- 4:33Speaker 3: Is this how I sound when I was making the
- 4:35Speaker 3: chopsticks argument years.
- 4:36Speaker 6: Ago about like, but because people don't wear a special
- 4:42Speaker 6: outfit to use their chopsticks.
- 4:45Speaker 3: But you know that that that last part of your
- 4:48Speaker 3: of your statement saying like because she wanted other people
- 4:52Speaker 3: to recognize. Yeah, so my thing, I don't see how
- 4:57Speaker 3: chopsticks are like an efficient way to eat. Really, yeah,
- 5:01Speaker 3: I think if you grew up with them and you
- 5:03Speaker 3: use them, it makes more sense. Like, Hey, I'm tak
- 5:05Speaker 3: these really two thin sticks and I'm going to like
- 5:07Speaker 3: you know.
- 5:08Speaker 1: But your argument was never about efficiency. It was that
- 5:11Speaker 1: the person using them wants to look because of the
- 5:15Speaker 1: lack of efficiency.
- 5:16Speaker 3: So I go, all right, what purpose could somebody choose
- 5:19Speaker 3: to use chop sticks at a Panda Express for it?
- 5:22Speaker 3: And why wouldn't you use them at all places if
- 5:24Speaker 3: they were so efficient to eat?
- 5:25Speaker 2: Like, why would you?
- 5:26Speaker 6: Right?
- 5:26Speaker 2: Yeah, you would use them at all places because.
- 5:28Speaker 1: I like them.
- 5:29Speaker 6: But I'm not wearing, like again, a special outfit.
- 5:32Speaker 3: I'm not trying to go back and rehash the chops conversation, but.
- 5:37Speaker 6: Its down it's intentional to not because I think, like,
- 5:41Speaker 6: I want a snowshovel sized spoon.
- 5:44Speaker 3: I don't want the little spin on with the bigger spills, right,
- 5:47Speaker 3: I want it piled right into my mouth.
- 5:49Speaker 6: Also, maybe I actually hated this hike because she waited
- 5:52Speaker 6: till everybody got their drinks, and everybody there you poured
- 5:55Speaker 6: them out and then had their trade tables down and
- 5:57Speaker 6: then she was like by the window. And then she
- 5:59Speaker 6: asked everybody, Oh, I need to go to the bathroom.
- 6:01Speaker 6: That's different your book.
- 6:05Speaker 1: Yeah a woman too, Yeah, five minutes.
- 6:10Speaker 6: Okay, so everyone has to get up and grab their
- 6:12Speaker 6: drinks and stand in the eye.
- 6:13Speaker 2: That's a long way to go to say I hate books.
- 6:15Speaker 3: Yeah, I like, I love I love audio books.
- 6:21Speaker 1: Audio books are cool.
- 6:23Speaker 4: You're still getting the story.
- 6:24Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, And I do like it better not when
- 6:27Speaker 3: they have a completely third party pert.
- 6:30Speaker 1: Like.
- 6:30Speaker 3: I like it when the author reads the book, because
- 6:34Speaker 3: then you know you're really I think you get more
- 6:36Speaker 3: out of it than even if I just read it myself,
- 6:39Speaker 3: because they.
- 6:40Speaker 4: Are telling their story.
- 6:41Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 6:42Speaker 4: I like that too.
- 6:43Speaker 1: On a work night, have you ever found yourself watching
- 6:44Speaker 1: a show and you're like, okay, one more episode, I
- 6:46Speaker 1: have to go to bed. Yes, you stay up way
- 6:48Speaker 1: too late. I imagine how people are with books. I
- 6:50Speaker 1: used to be that way with books only with two authors.
- 6:53Speaker 1: So maybe you haven't found which ones Dean Coon's and
- 6:56Speaker 1: John Grisham and Thriller who wrote the Pelican Brief? That
- 7:01Speaker 1: would be John?
- 7:02Speaker 2: I read.
- 7:03Speaker 3: I read that, but I loved it. Now here's where
- 7:05Speaker 3: I read that. I read that when I was stuck
- 7:06Speaker 3: at boarding school and we couldn't watch TV because.
- 7:10Speaker 4: Three other option was taken away.
- 7:11Speaker 2: That's that's when I read that stuff. But I loved it.
- 7:16Speaker 1: I heard the name of that. Is it about Pelicans?
- 7:19Speaker 2: Pelican Brief?
- 7:20Speaker 3: Yeah, they made a movie out of it.
- 7:24Speaker 2: It was a serious movie, so mans wouldn't watch that.
- 7:26Speaker 1: Yeah, comedies? Is he? Which one is the airport author?
- 7:32Speaker 1: Is it James Patterson?
- 7:33Speaker 2: James Patters? Is it also John? He was?
- 7:37Speaker 1: Greg?
- 7:37Speaker 5: I know, you gotta get crap because those are not
- 7:38Speaker 5: considered very serious.
- 7:40Speaker 2: They're very pulpy.
- 7:41Speaker 4: Sure, so they're entertaining for ye, right, still fun.
- 7:44Speaker 1: But their page turners. And the thing about John Grisham,
- 7:46Speaker 1: he makes his chapters like about three pages, and so
- 7:50Speaker 1: you think, oh, one more chapter, forty one more?
- 7:53Speaker 7: No more?
- 7:53Speaker 2: Do you read books?
- 7:54Speaker 7: I do sometimes I haven't had time and since I've
- 7:57Speaker 7: been on this job.
- 7:58Speaker 3: Actually, yeah, like what kind of books? If you're going
- 8:00Speaker 3: to read a book, what kind of book are you reading?
- 8:02Speaker 7: I hate to call them self help books, but that's
- 8:04Speaker 7: what they would be called.
- 8:05Speaker 1: They're like help books.
- 8:06Speaker 4: Okay, they're called that.
- 8:09Speaker 2: Robbins mail, Robbins right.
- 8:11Speaker 7: But I've never read her book. Does she have books?
- 8:13Speaker 3: Yeah? What what's the self help book that you've read
- 8:16Speaker 3: that you got the most out of? What would you recommend?
- 8:20Speaker 3: How can we be helped?
- 8:21Speaker 7: Like Mike Dooley as an artist and at heart totally
- 8:26Speaker 7: New Earth is probably my favorite.
- 8:28Speaker 1: Wow, that sounds so hipster right there?
- 8:29Speaker 7: Right, I don't like to talk about totally.
- 8:33Speaker 3: I love heart totally in his book New Earth Possibilities
- 8:39Speaker 3: and what was that about?
- 8:41Speaker 7: Just I mean it's like self help, it's about being
- 8:43Speaker 7: inspired and you know, being a good person and getting
- 8:47Speaker 7: what you want out of life.
- 8:48Speaker 4: Okay, Yeah, that's a big one.
- 8:53Speaker 2: I'm not I'm not making fun of you.
- 8:54Speaker 3: I'm just making for the name sounds very like, Yeah,
- 8:58Speaker 3: like that's a name, Like have you read a book
- 8:59Speaker 3: by that guy? You would throw it around because it
- 9:01Speaker 3: makes you sound I think.
- 9:02Speaker 1: I have that really don't in my family room as
- 9:04Speaker 1: we speak? Yeah?
- 9:08Speaker 6: Can I shout out a book one of our listeners
- 9:10Speaker 6: put out and see Basketlose Years. It's called Disney Adults
- 9:14Speaker 6: Exploring and hold On. It's called Disney Adults Exploring and
- 9:18Speaker 6: falling in Love with a magical subculture to one of
- 9:25Speaker 6: our listeners put that out so it's available now.
- 9:27Speaker 2: Possible trademark violation. No, you can write.
- 9:30Speaker 3: You can write books about Disney all day long. There's
- 9:33Speaker 3: a ton of them out there about how to you know,
- 9:35Speaker 3: tackle the parks if you have X number of days
- 9:37Speaker 3: and you have this is the best way to do it.
- 9:39Speaker 2: But they usually call it like magical.
- 9:42Speaker 6: Disney shouts them out all the time because they have
- 9:44Speaker 6: a popular Instagram page called Disney Food Blog.
- 9:48Speaker 1: Yeah, I've seen that.
- 9:49Speaker 2: I've seen that.
- 9:49Speaker 3: All right, So we'll take the break and then we'll
- 9:52Speaker 3: come back with this game, Will Menace, and what do
- 9:53Speaker 3: you know it? The topic is books, and so you
- 9:57Speaker 3: have just a basic description.
- 9:59Speaker 4: I have a b sick description of the plot. This
- 10:01Speaker 4: is not meant to trick you. This is meant to
- 10:03Speaker 4: just these these are very well known stories.
- 10:06Speaker 3: Okay, now, Will Medace and I know it, and I
- 10:09Speaker 3: think what we're gonna do is we're gonna try to
- 10:10Speaker 3: take a guest first, and if neither one of us
- 10:13Speaker 3: can can get it, then you're gonna give us a
- 10:14Speaker 3: multiple choice at that point, Okay, how.
- 10:17Speaker 1: Almost a lifelias and then you get it.
- 10:19Speaker 4: Yeah, you definitely have to guess.
- 10:21Speaker 3: Yeah, Okay, yeah, that's the idea, and then yeah, and
- 10:24Speaker 3: then and then afterwards then we're going, okay, well, no,
- 10:27Speaker 3: that's not it.
- 10:28Speaker 4: It is there.
- 10:29Speaker 1: Yeah, they're there.
- 10:30Speaker 4: You might stumble into a few of these.
- 10:32Speaker 3: No, no, here are some multiple choices. So we'll do
- 10:35Speaker 3: that next here on The Wood Show eight seven seven
- 10:37Speaker 3: forty four.
- 10:38Speaker 1: Wood I've developed this dude thing in my head that
- 10:41Speaker 1: if I go to the same place every day, the
- 10:44Speaker 1: employees at that place, we're gonna go book. Oh god,
- 10:47Speaker 1: he's here again. You're so tortured. Man, I am the
- 10:53Speaker 1: wood Show.
- 10:54Speaker 2: Let's play this game. Will Woody and Menace know it?
- 10:58Speaker 2: The theme booked books?
- 11:01Speaker 1: Books?
- 11:01Speaker 2: He hadn't liked the idea of books, menus, I guess
- 11:03Speaker 2: not so much.
- 11:03Speaker 1: Doesn't like the idea of it makes an yeah's trigger
- 11:06Speaker 1: for me. Yeah. I do like audiobooks though, and I
- 11:10Speaker 1: do yeah. Yeah.
- 11:13Speaker 3: All right, Well, so it's Gina who's gonna give us,
- 11:16Speaker 3: like basically a plot, and then we have to try
- 11:18Speaker 3: to take a guest Menace as to what the book is,
- 11:21Speaker 3: like what the name of the book is, and then whatever.
- 11:24Speaker 3: And if we can't get that, if neither one of
- 11:26Speaker 3: us can get that, then she'll give us a multiple choice,
- 11:29Speaker 3: then we can try to figure it out from there.
- 11:31Speaker 4: Right now, would somebody keep score for it? Maybe? Greg?
- 11:34Speaker 1: Thank you? Yeah?
- 11:35Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean first first book. This book tells the
- 11:41Speaker 4: story of a middle aged professor obsessed with his landlady's
- 11:44Speaker 4: fourteen year old daughter. He marries her mother so he
- 11:47Speaker 4: can be near the girl, but when the mother accidentally dies,
- 11:51Speaker 4: he pursues a relationship with the girl.
- 11:55Speaker 6: Oh, I think I know this one.
- 11:57Speaker 3: See you said, professor, and immediately I went to one thing,
- 12:00Speaker 3: and then everything else you said doesn't make sense. But
- 12:03Speaker 3: now I can't think of anything that involves a professor
- 12:05Speaker 3: other than like Dead Poets Society.
- 12:08Speaker 2: Based off the guy.
- 12:09Speaker 5: That guy wrote that book in my high school, by
- 12:10Speaker 5: the way, on his experience was teaching young youths gave away.
- 12:15Speaker 3: Yeah, well wait, yeah, wait, wait to give us all
- 12:18Speaker 3: the answers there, Yeah.
- 12:21Speaker 1: I'm gonna guess the only thing I.
- 12:22Speaker 6: Can think of is Lolita Lida final answer everybody.
- 12:28Speaker 2: No, beautiful mind.
- 12:31Speaker 4: Okay, beautiful mind.
- 12:32Speaker 1: That's the book, because I know it's the movie. Yeah,
- 12:34Speaker 1: but that's another professor.
- 12:35Speaker 6: I'm like getting out some shake up in there.
- 12:39Speaker 2: I'm with you. I don't know okay, neither one of us, right.
- 12:42Speaker 1: But I know there was like the Lolita was like
- 12:44Speaker 1: the underage thing. Woody.
- 12:46Speaker 4: I think you might be overthinking it because Menace is
- 12:49Speaker 4: one thousand, correct, is that right?
- 12:51Speaker 3: Yeah?
- 12:54Speaker 6: On the professor, I've never even seen the movie either.
- 12:58Speaker 2: She's going books here too. So well, remember we've done.
- 13:02Speaker 4: This before, you know, about six months ago, siding to
- 13:05Speaker 4: go to the next round. All right, here we go,
- 13:07Speaker 4: all right, very good minute.
- 13:09Speaker 1: Next book.

- 13:12Speaker 4: boys who are stranded on an island and their disastrous
- 13:16Speaker 4: attempts to govern themselves lead to a descent into savagery.
- 13:20Speaker 6: All right, this is a classic, right, yeah, I know this.
- 13:24Speaker 6: I know the movie. Really, there's a movie on it. Yeah,
- 13:28Speaker 6: that's very famous.
- 13:30Speaker 2: Not that famous.
- 13:31Speaker 4: This is very slum Dog Millionaire of Menace.
- 13:33Speaker 1: It's not very famous. It is yeah, super famous. Right, yeah,
- 13:37Speaker 1: everyone just throwing us off.
- 13:39Speaker 2: The reason I said that is this.
- 13:41Speaker 3: Throwing the guy who's gonna win this game off. Menace
- 13:43Speaker 3: is really getting down at the bottom of this one.
- 13:44Speaker 2: Famous you should know.
- 13:45Speaker 5: Oh my god, god, dude, goodness, great, Sorry, trying to
- 13:50Speaker 5: have fun over here, Okay, talking it through.

- 15:55Speaker 3: said Oprah in my mind, So I'll say the color purple.
- 15:58Speaker 6: Yeah, I'm gonna say the color purp because that's the
- 16:01Speaker 6: only one that I know out of those three.
- 16:03Speaker 4: You two are both geniuses. You were dancing around. Oprah
- 16:07Speaker 4: was one of the original producers and in it yep
- 16:10Speaker 4: of the movie. Yeah, the original movie.
- 16:12Speaker 3: Yeah, that's why when you said the color purple, that's
- 16:14Speaker 3: a that's the Oprah part that popped.
- 16:17Speaker 2: In my brain.
- 16:17Speaker 1: Yeah, huh, very good. I mean, just you know version Menace?
- 16:22Speaker 4: Yeah, and a musical.
- 16:23Speaker 2: A musical.
- 16:25Speaker 4: Yeah, it's Tony Orbin. Maybe you've heard of it.
- 16:27Speaker 2: Everyone want we.
- 16:29Speaker 1: Got all right?
- 16:29Speaker 3: So will everyone Woody and Menace know it? The topic
- 16:32Speaker 3: books next one next plot.
- 16:35Speaker 4: This book follows a sixteen year old boy who's fed
- 16:38Speaker 4: up with the phony adult world and gets expelled from
- 16:41Speaker 4: his boarding school. The story then follows his experience over
- 16:44Speaker 4: a few days in New York City before Christmas.
- 16:47Speaker 2: Oh yeah, this is teenage Woody.
- 16:50Speaker 4: Yeah seriously.
- 16:51Speaker 5: Wow, not Home Alone and it features a guy with
- 16:55Speaker 5: a defiant personality disorder.
- 16:56Speaker 4: Gregg again killing it.
- 16:58Speaker 1: He keeps writing them down it is and I recently
- 17:03Speaker 1: just got it again to reread.
- 17:04Speaker 2: They make it into a movie, Can I watch it?
- 17:06Speaker 4: No more questions?
- 17:07Speaker 1: It's not Bob Dylan, Greg's no phony this one. I
- 17:12Speaker 1: have no clue on. To be honest, I.
- 17:14Speaker 3: Like the Home Alone Guests. That's good, but I'll be
- 17:17Speaker 3: more specific Home Alone Lost in New York.
- 17:21Speaker 4: Answer.
- 17:22Speaker 1: My guess would be that would he probably went through
- 17:24Speaker 1: life without reading it. But I bet you did.
- 17:26Speaker 2: Men really read no books.
- 17:30Speaker 1: Because we went kind of the same area of schools
- 17:33Speaker 1: and I think they all had the exact same reading.
- 17:35Speaker 4: That doesn't mean he read it.
- 17:35Speaker 6: But the only book I remember ever is Flowers for Algam.
- 17:42Speaker 4: We did have to read.
- 17:42Speaker 3: I remember Tuck Everlasting in like Beverly Cleary and Judy Bloom.
- 17:47Speaker 4: You stopped reading in like fourth grade and Tales of
- 17:50Speaker 4: fourth grade enough super Yeah, the mouse and the motorcycle
- 17:55Speaker 4: or the yep. I'm going to give you three choices. Okay,
- 17:58Speaker 4: is it one hundred years of Solitude, the Catcher in
- 18:02Speaker 4: the Rye, or Never Let Me Go?
- 18:06Speaker 6: I mean, remember what Catcher in the Right I've heard
- 18:10Speaker 6: of that. I know, Catcher in the Right is super famous.
- 18:13Speaker 3: Yeah, but I couldn't tell you what it's about me neither,
- 18:16Speaker 3: So I'm Catcher in the Right.
- 18:20Speaker 4: So the first one, one hundred years of Solitude.
- 18:23Speaker 1: In the third one, Never let Me Go?
- 18:25Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know those.
- 18:26Speaker 6: I mean, I've heard of one hundred years of Solitude,
- 18:29Speaker 6: but I haven't heard that, so catching the Rise.
- 18:33Speaker 3: I have to agree with Menace. But all for the
- 18:35Speaker 3: sake of the game, I'll say whatever. That third one was,
- 18:38Speaker 3: never let me Go, Never let me Go?
- 18:40Speaker 4: Menace keeps backing into the right answers the Catcher in
- 18:44Speaker 4: the Right.
- 18:45Speaker 1: Of all three titles, that's the most that's the most classic.
- 18:49Speaker 2: Yeah, well, I just read one hundred years of Solitude,
- 18:52Speaker 2: man as that suck.
- 18:53Speaker 1: Catcher in the Rye, I think.
- 18:54Speaker 4: That's about It's a metaphor of.
- 18:57Speaker 2: A baseball gets a hooker.
- 19:01Speaker 4: Like rebellion to be the catcher in the ride, the
- 19:04Speaker 4: catching the kids before they grow up and become phonies.
- 19:08Speaker 6: Should read it's good. Yeah, you fast forward to the hooker.
- 19:13Speaker 1: Read all right, here we go.
- 19:16Speaker 4: This is a dystopian future novel set in New England
- 19:19Speaker 4: and deals with the oppressive patriarchal government that overthrows the
- 19:24Speaker 4: United States.
- 19:27Speaker 6: Overthrows the United States?

- 19:37Speaker 3: Right? He goes, Oh wait, there must be this other
- 19:39Speaker 3: one that yeah, I know.
- 19:42Speaker 4: No, I could give another I could give, but I
- 19:46Speaker 4: don't think it's going to help either of you.
- 19:48Speaker 1: Did he write did he write down the Boston tea party?
- 19:50Speaker 1: That was my first guest, That was my second guest.

- 20:05Speaker 1: Does it have to do with aliens? What's the one
- 20:06Speaker 1: with hal Menace? What was it?
- 20:11Speaker 4: I could give a little hint, but I don't know
- 20:13Speaker 4: if it will help.
- 20:14Speaker 7: No.
- 20:14Speaker 2: Well, you're gonna have multiple choice, right, yeah?
- 20:16Speaker 1: All right?
- 20:16Speaker 8: Uh yeah, he best to get me, you know school. Yeah,

- 20:48Speaker 2: Space house?
- 20:49Speaker 1: Yeah? Two, that's one space.
- 20:51Speaker 4: We're going to go to multiple choice. All right, Okay,
- 20:54Speaker 4: is it Brave New World? The Handmaid's Tail Fahrenheit four
- 20:58Speaker 4: fifty one.
- 21:01Speaker 1: Fahrenheit four fifty one sounds like ominous? Yeah, like a
- 21:09Speaker 1: specific what was the first one? Again?
- 21:12Speaker 4: Brave New World?
- 21:13Speaker 1: Brave New World.
- 21:13Speaker 3: That sounds like the plot sounds like a good title
- 21:16Speaker 3: for whatever you just described. Uh yeah, yeah, put me
- 21:23Speaker 3: down for that one world New World.
- 21:25Speaker 2: Yeah, I'll do this, Brave New World.
- 21:27Speaker 4: The answer is if you guys like TV so much,
- 21:30Speaker 4: is a huge series, The Handmaid's Tad.
- 21:31Speaker 2: Damn, it's really huge series. They would never watch. Yeah,
- 21:35Speaker 2: I was like this isn't.
- 21:36Speaker 6: Going to help them out on this.
- 21:37Speaker 4: You know what I was going to say, sea beasts.
- 21:38Speaker 4: I was like, it's not going to help them. The
- 21:40Speaker 4: new government of Gilead, Oh.
- 21:42Speaker 2: That was gonna that was gonna be a that's.
- 21:46Speaker 4: The new name of the United States.
- 21:47Speaker 2: The key word is patriarchy.
- 21:49Speaker 4: Yeah, exactly what.
- 21:50Speaker 1: Was about controlling pregnancies and stuff like the Handmaid?
- 21:53Speaker 6: If that was semi in the description of the plot,
- 21:56Speaker 6: I would have got it because I did watch some
- 21:58Speaker 6: of The Handsmaid's tail.
- 22:00Speaker 4: There you go, all right, you want one more?
- 22:02Speaker 2: You mean one more?
- 22:03Speaker 4: Okay?
- 22:04Speaker 3: This is a Will by the way, and what do
- 22:06Speaker 3: you have to Okay? Will Menace and what he know
- 22:09Speaker 3: it books?
- 22:10Speaker 4: This is the toughest one in my opinion. I will
- 22:14Speaker 4: be curious of Greg and Sebasket this. This book follows
- 22:17Speaker 4: a soldier who becomes unstuck in time and experiences moments
- 22:22Speaker 4: from his life, including his capture during World War Two
- 22:26Speaker 4: and the bombing of Dresden in a jumbled, nonlinear Wayden's
- 22:30Speaker 4: your clue, by the way, so you definitely had to
- 22:32Speaker 4: read in high school.
- 22:34Speaker 5: I actually read it five six years ago.
- 22:38Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 22:38Speaker 4: This book follows a soldier who becomes quote, unstuck in
- 22:43Speaker 4: time and experiences moments from his life, including his capture
- 22:46Speaker 4: during World War Two and the bombing of Dresden in
- 22:49Speaker 4: a jumbled, nonlinear way.
- 22:52Speaker 2: This is probably the most worshiped book on that list.
- 22:56Speaker 4: Quantum Leap, Boston versus Aliens or whatever, And at the
- 23:07Speaker 4: end he always wants his last leap to be the
- 23:11Speaker 4: leap home, right.
- 23:13Speaker 1: Damn it? Not saving Private Ryan. That was gonna be
- 23:19Speaker 1: my guest? Was that the book? Yeah, I'm saving Private.
- 23:24Speaker 4: Ryan, Saving Private rhyme and Quantum Leap? Yeah, Okay, we're
- 23:28Speaker 4: going to go to multiple choice. Is it the Alchemist,
- 23:33Speaker 4: the Sound and the Fury, Slaughterhouse five?
- 23:37Speaker 1: I've heard of none of those.
- 23:39Speaker 3: I meant some of the fury. Alchemist sounds familiar. Yeah,
- 23:48Speaker 3: Alchemist okay?
- 23:49Speaker 1: And Menace number three I don't know.
- 23:52Speaker 4: Slaughterhouse five, Oh no, that sounds like a.
- 23:59Speaker 1: Number two.
- 24:00Speaker 4: The Sound of the Fury, yea man, if you should
- 24:03Speaker 4: have gone with your gut, the answer is Slaughterhouse Spy.
- 24:08Speaker 4: Greg's gonna total up the Uh, well.
- 24:13Speaker 5: Done, thank you, thanks crushing it, crush everything.
- 24:19Speaker 1: Yeah, well we got four and two.
- 24:23Speaker 4: Well done, everybody.
- 24:25Speaker 2: Man, Do you have a great reading list?
- 24:27Speaker 1: Oh? Yeah, the show book Club.
- 24:29Speaker 3: Yeah, I can't imagine, all right, eight seven seven forty four.
- 24:33Speaker 3: Thank you, Gina, Thank you Gina. That was depressing.
- 24:40Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, I obviously don't care.
- 24:46Speaker 3: About other people when it comes to oh what you're
- 24:50Speaker 3: dumb or whatever, But it's self inflicted.
- 24:54Speaker 2: It's self inflicted.
- 24:55Speaker 3: Like doing that doing that books thing just remind her
- 24:59Speaker 3: I just how, I mean, how truly stupid I am.
- 25:02Speaker 4: You're done. It means you're not well read.
- 25:04Speaker 2: I'm not well read.
- 25:05Speaker 3: It's it's like when it comes to life stuff. I
- 25:08Speaker 3: think I'm I think I'm probably a little above average
- 25:11Speaker 3: in a lot of ways, but man, certainly on that
- 25:14Speaker 3: kind of like criminally stupid.
- 25:17Speaker 1: Why you're into what you're into?
- 25:20Speaker 3: No, no, I know, and I've somehow managed to make
- 25:22Speaker 3: my way through life. I guess it's you know what,
- 25:23Speaker 3: it's a story of hope for a lot of people
- 25:25Speaker 3: out there.
- 25:25Speaker 1: I think.
- 25:27Speaker 2: You could take some comfort. You can take some comfort
- 25:29Speaker 2: in that.
- 25:29Speaker 5: A lot of those titles, though, are cultural touchstones, so
- 25:32Speaker 5: like I've never seen or read Lolita, but I knew
- 25:35Speaker 5: what the answer was based on the clues and.
- 25:37Speaker 6: Lord of the Flies, like I knew the plot of Yeah,
- 25:42Speaker 6: but I've seen the movie the book trying to screen up.
- 25:46Speaker 1: But I mean, what is that going to help me in?
- 25:49Speaker 3: I did hear a radio advertisement speaking of like movies
- 25:51Speaker 3: and things like that. I heard a radio advertised, But
- 25:54Speaker 3: I was just telling everybody right before we came back
- 25:55Speaker 3: from the break, there's there's something that one of the
- 25:58Speaker 3: local audio video plays. Is it sell It's it'll stream
- 26:02Speaker 3: first round, like movies that are still in theaters right
- 26:04Speaker 3: to your house. Oh damn, Now that's the way to
- 26:06Speaker 3: do it.
- 26:07Speaker 1: Greg. I really love that.
- 26:08Speaker 6: Because I know they sell those type of boxes at
- 26:10Speaker 6: like the swap meet.
- 26:11Speaker 3: But yeah, almost just a few years ago, and I
- 26:15Speaker 3: remember like those stories about hey, they're gonna be coming
- 26:18Speaker 3: out with this thing. I'm sure it's a big jillion dollars,
- 26:22Speaker 3: is it?
- 26:22Speaker 1: But like they tried that thing with what was it
- 26:25Speaker 1: called Movie Pass where it was like unlimited movies, you
- 26:28Speaker 1: go if you go exactly. But then it's the going
- 26:31Speaker 1: part that Greg doesn't want to do. Well, I don't
- 26:33Speaker 1: want to go number one, but number two, they also
- 26:36Speaker 1: have to complicate everything. It sounded too good to be true,
- 26:39Speaker 1: and sure enough it was because then they said, oh,
- 26:41Speaker 1: you can only do x amount per.
- 26:42Speaker 6: Well, because that's when they start getting money.
- 26:44Speaker 1: Yeah, but then don't come up with that idea. Yeah,
- 26:47Speaker 1: you don't have a pass that lets you go anytime
- 26:50Speaker 1: the end, and then they put all these caveats on
- 26:53Speaker 1: it and then they changed it and this like just
- 26:56Speaker 1: make it normal.
- 26:57Speaker 6: So I think the thing that you're talking about though,
- 26:59Speaker 6: what he is called the stradio e movie player okay?
- 27:04Speaker 1: And what does that cost? Does I have a price on?
- 27:06Speaker 1: There is click online okay available to order grant for
- 27:11Speaker 1: the box.
- 27:12Speaker 3: Three grand for the box, then I'm sure there's obviously
- 27:14Speaker 3: that there's a service feeau.
- 27:17Speaker 5: I'm seeing something else called red Carpet Home Cinema, which
- 27:19Speaker 5: was saying one thousand to three thousand of pop Wait
- 27:23Speaker 5: wait wait for the actual box itself or the per.
- 27:25Speaker 4: Movie that can't be right cheaper version.
- 27:30Speaker 1: Yeah again it's called Yeah even I would leave the
- 27:34Speaker 1: house for that price, yeah, right, Light Escape maybe.
- 27:38Speaker 4: Yeah, it looks like it's about three grand for the box.
- 27:40Speaker 3: For the box, and then what's the service, Like how
- 27:42Speaker 3: much does that cost? Because I mean, if you total
- 27:45Speaker 3: it all up, like I'm saying for a married married couple.
- 27:48Speaker 1: But that's a lot of movies just to break even.
- 27:50Speaker 2: Married couple with kids.
- 27:51Speaker 3: So I'm doing the I'm doing the math for all
- 27:53Speaker 3: you non breeders out there again for my wife and I,
- 27:57Speaker 3: not now kids are older, but you know, for my
- 28:00Speaker 3: ife and I, when the kids were little, we wanted
- 28:01Speaker 3: to go to a movie. First of all, you have
- 28:02Speaker 3: to find a movie that you want to see together, right,
- 28:04Speaker 3: and sometimes it's just getting out of the house. It
- 28:06Speaker 3: doesn't matter. So forget that you want to go to
- 28:08Speaker 3: a movie. Now it's like, okay, you gotta find the
- 28:10Speaker 3: day of the time. Okay, cool. Now you got to
- 28:12Speaker 3: get the babysitter. So the babysitter on average is doing
- 28:16Speaker 3: fifteen and twenty dollars an hour, okay these days. Okay,
- 28:19Speaker 3: So you have that, then you go and what a
- 28:22Speaker 3: movie to I've been to the movies in a while, but.
- 28:25Speaker 2: Not the mat name. I'm talking like, you're going like.
- 28:27Speaker 1: A date night day around twenty bucks for her ticket.
- 28:30Speaker 1: It was like twenty five.
- 28:30Speaker 4: Oh yeah, so say twenty at least.
- 28:32Speaker 1: There's another fifty bucks. Yeah, all right, on top of
- 28:34Speaker 1: the babysitter money. And of course, now that you're out,
- 28:36Speaker 1: you're gonna make it an evening of it.
- 28:38Speaker 2: Yes, you're you're gonna do dinner. God knows what that.
- 28:41Speaker 3: But let's assume you're gonna go something like nice and
- 28:43Speaker 3: casual and cheap, all right, So you add that in there,
- 28:45Speaker 3: and then you get to the movie, and you can't
- 28:46Speaker 3: be in the movie without getting at least one small
- 28:48Speaker 3: soda for forty dollars, because that's why they make all
- 28:51Speaker 3: their money.
- 28:52Speaker 1: Right, So good news, Woddy.
- 28:53Speaker 5: If you have one of these boxes, the movies themselves
- 28:55Speaker 5: are affordable. You can rent them for thirty dollars. Here's
- 28:58Speaker 5: conjuring the last rites thirty dollars. But again, it is
- 29:01Speaker 5: that three thousand to plus upfront box costs that's going
- 29:04Speaker 5: to eat you.
- 29:04Speaker 3: Okay, so the box you spend three thousand bucks on
- 29:08Speaker 3: and then you pay per movie per.
- 29:10Speaker 2: Movie, you're doing a decent deal. Actually, yeah, by today's stands.
- 29:13Speaker 6: I mean that's because that's basically like on Apple, that's
- 29:16Speaker 6: how much it costs for like a new movie.
- 29:18Speaker 2: Right, a song.
- 29:19Speaker 1: You have to rebuy the box every year, right, No, and.
- 29:22Speaker 4: Fright, all the math you just did that can add
- 29:24Speaker 4: up to with a babysitter and stuff. Let's say that's
- 29:26Speaker 4: two hundred bucks, so that's fifteen movies.
- 29:30Speaker 3: Yeah, over the course of you know whatever, Let's say
- 29:33Speaker 3: two years. How many movies are gonna watch in two years? Yeah,
- 29:36Speaker 3: because I would imagine that the box and technology might
- 29:38Speaker 3: change a little bit. You might have to, you know,
- 29:40Speaker 3: watch movies at home box version two point zero, right,
- 29:43Speaker 3: that you have to or want to do something better greater.
- 29:47Speaker 1: Yeah, surgery rental where you get it for forty eight hours,
- 29:50Speaker 1: or something you.
- 29:50Speaker 2: Can buy or rent, but of course that's digital buy
- 29:53Speaker 2: of course.
- 29:54Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 29:54Speaker 4: Yeah, Pierson Zone right.
- 29:56Speaker 1: Cool concept. Yeah, I like that idea.
- 29:58Speaker 5: You know a lot of money sacks and they have
- 30:00Speaker 5: a big backlog too, of oldham stuff like there's have
- 30:03Speaker 5: you seen black Light from Ligham Neeson Craig, you.
- 30:09Speaker 1: Do like that?
- 30:11Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm not going to get it, but it's sound
- 30:15Speaker 3: no no, because I thinking about it. I wanted to
- 30:17Speaker 3: see Oppenheimer so bad. I know, I know, forget how
- 30:21Speaker 3: bad it is. But when we first saw the trailers
- 30:25Speaker 3: and stuff like, oh dude, I'm definitely definitely go see that.
- 30:31Speaker 3: Never make it to the theater. Then they re released
- 30:33Speaker 3: in the theaters. Never made it to that. Then they
- 30:36Speaker 3: really re released it again for a third time after
- 30:38Speaker 3: it won some awards, still didn't see it there. Now
- 30:41Speaker 3: it's been on you know, Apple TV or whatever everywhere
- 30:45Speaker 3: for however long still to this day have not seen it.
- 30:49Speaker 1: Now.
- 30:49Speaker 3: Part of that is because everybody's crapped on it so hard,
- 30:52Speaker 3: saying how just mega boring it was.
- 30:55Speaker 1: It's criminally boring.
- 31:00Speaker 3: It looks pretty Yeah, I told you. The next time
- 31:02Speaker 3: in going to theater is for the re release of
- 31:04Speaker 3: Back to the Future at the end of this month.
- 31:07Speaker 3: They're doing like a big anniversary edition of it in
- 31:09Speaker 3: Imax for the vie be able to watch the og
- 31:12Speaker 3: back to the Future.
- 31:13Speaker 1: You like that, Greg, right?
- 31:14Speaker 2: I guess so you didn't like the original? You don't
- 31:17Speaker 2: like Back to the Future.
- 31:18Speaker 1: You know who ruined it for me was John mulaney
