- 17:12SPEAKER_08: It was I mean, there was it was packed on a Sunday afternoon at two o'clock, and I think it was a nice day too, but I can't remember.
- 17:19SPEAKER_08: Anyway, um so we show up uh around 1 30 and people start filing in and we we did make a new friend.
- 17:27SPEAKER_08: Um I'll let you guys explain that a little bit.
- 17:40SPEAKER_08: Everything.
- 17:40SPEAKER_08: Yeah.
- 17:41SPEAKER_06: We know all of his collections.
- 17:42SPEAKER_04: Yes.
- 17:43SPEAKER_04: What do you like?
- 17:44SPEAKER_04: From 1983 on up?
- 17:46SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 17:47SPEAKER_08: Well, here here's the thing.
- 17:49SPEAKER_08: So so when we came in, um, I'm used to sitting uh probably in the middle of the theater.
- 17:56SPEAKER_08: And Doug's like, well, well, let's go to the back.
- 17:59SPEAKER_06: Well, that that's my gunfighter mentality.
- 18:02SPEAKER_06: I cannot sit in the middle of a movie.
- 18:04SPEAKER_06: I mean a movie, I can't do it.
- 18:05SPEAKER_08: Yeah.
- 18:06SPEAKER_06: Ever since you know, in my for in my previous occupation, right?
- 18:10SPEAKER_06: You had to sit with your back to the wall because you gotta be able to see the extrates and you know, egress and I get that, and I get that.
- 18:17SPEAKER_06: So I can't go to a theater.
- 18:19SPEAKER_06: That's why I always go with I very rarely go to the movies with anybody else, because I have to sit in the back.
- 18:24SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
- 18:25SPEAKER_04: I got I got a couple of buddies that are are um ex-law enforcement, and it's it's the same way that they always tactically put themselves into any any bar seat or restaurant we go to.
- 18:35SPEAKER_04: So I basically am always using my body as a shield.
- 18:47SPEAKER_08: Well, we uh so and there was a lady that was sitting, so so we sat in the very, very back.
- 18:53SPEAKER_08: And there was a lady sitting in the row row in front of us, and I just as we walked into the back, I'm like, this poor woman, you know, because she's gonna have to deal with us.
- 19:01SPEAKER_08: Uh she was sitting alone, she was sitting alone in this row.
- 19:04SPEAKER_08: And so we sat down, and of course, you know, we're we're joking around, you know, but nothing really made sure.
- 19:09SPEAKER_06: Yeah, we were we were very respectful.
- 19:11SPEAKER_06: Very, very respectful, very quiet.
- 19:13SPEAKER_08: We were and and then a gentleman walks in and s and asked if there was anyone sitting in her row, which would be in front of us.
- 19:19SPEAKER_08: Right.
- 19:19SPEAKER_08: And we're like, no, absolutely, you have you know have a seat.
- 19:22SPEAKER_08: And so he sat down and he I think immediately he asked Almost immediately.
- 19:29SPEAKER_08: You know, do you I I can't remember what the first thing was, but there were so many Yeah, do you have the ones?
- 19:35SPEAKER_08: No, the Lord of the Rings.

- 19:37SPEAKER_08: Uh I've seen the Lord of the Rings.
- 19:39SPEAKER_08: I uh I have all of them on on you know on DVD.
- 19:41SPEAKER_08: Yeah.
- 19:42SPEAKER_08: Yeah.
- 19:43SPEAKER_04: So it was any any topic, any topic on movies, media, or games.
- 19:47SPEAKER_04: Yes.
- 19:48SPEAKER_08: Yes.
- 19:48SPEAKER_04: It was pretty much what it was.
- 19:50SPEAKER_08: And it was the I think it was for t at least 10, 15 minutes straight.
- 19:54unknown: Right?
- 19:55SPEAKER_08: Oh twenty it was closer to twenty.
- 19:57SPEAKER_08: And he just kept talking, and Bob, you would look at me and and try and start up a conversation so that we and we were we were not we were rude about I mean we answered all his questions and you know he was just you know he was.
- 20:09SPEAKER_06: We were not exclusive.
- 20:10SPEAKER_06: Yeah.
- 20:10SPEAKER_08: Right.
- 20:11SPEAKER_08: And and and we tried to get a conversation going, but of course he would he would uh um what's beeping?
- 20:20SPEAKER_06: Bobstone?
- 20:21SPEAKER_08: Yeah, Bobstone.
- 20:22SPEAKER_08: Yeah, I'm here.
- 20:24SPEAKER_08: All right, we'll edit all of this.
- 20:26SPEAKER_04: I think a I think a car went by and it sort of shook up the internet waves a little bit.
- 20:32SPEAKER_07: That happens.
- 20:34SPEAKER_07: Well, you are close to the ocean.
- 20:36SPEAKER_06: Yeah.
- 20:36SPEAKER_06: Yeah.
- 20:39SPEAKER_08: Yeah, the ocean's very loud down there.
- 20:40SPEAKER_06: It's very loud down there.
- 20:41SPEAKER_08: So um so yeah, and and he he he knew something about everything and he had a collection of everything, and I just saw the woman kind of uh put her her resigned sign.
- 20:53SPEAKER_04: Yeah, and and I was like Go ahead.
- 20:57SPEAKER_04: No, I I have although I have to say he did not speak to her at all.
- 21:01SPEAKER_04: No, he didn't.
- 21:02SPEAKER_08: No, he didn't.
- 21:02SPEAKER_04: No, no, no, it was it was completely to us three.
- 21:05SPEAKER_08: Yes.
- 21:05SPEAKER_08: Yep.
- 21:05SPEAKER_08: Yeah, uh, and I was worried.
- 21:07SPEAKER_08: I was and I actually said, should we bail?
- 21:10SPEAKER_08: You know, should we jump ship and and and and move seats?
- 21:13SPEAKER_08: Um how rude would that be?
- 21:16SPEAKER_08: Um, but you know, we wanted to watch the movie, and I was worried that there was gonna be a problem.
- 21:20SPEAKER_08: As soon as the lights went down.
- 21:23SPEAKER_08: Yeah, it was he was all business.
- 21:25SPEAKER_08: He was all business.
- 21:26SPEAKER_08: There was a movie on, so he watched the movie and did not say another word.
- 21:32SPEAKER_08: And when that movie ended, he was gone.
- 21:34SPEAKER_08: He was gone.
- 21:35SPEAKER_08: Yeah.
- 21:35SPEAKER_08: It was an interesting interaction.
- 21:37SPEAKER_06: Yeah.
- 21:38SPEAKER_04: I'd never seen him before, didn't know never saw him, never laid eyes on him, and just he was just well, I was a little worried in that maybe he had already seen that movie and he was waiting to reveal a play by play once he was in front of him.
- 21:52SPEAKER_04: Okay, this is an aircraft carrier.
- 21:55SPEAKER_04: Whoosh, there we go.
- 21:59SPEAKER_08: All right.
- 22:00SPEAKER_08: So that out of the way, let's get into uh Top Gun Maverick.
- 22:05SPEAKER_08: Because and and I I'll just put this warning out there.
- 22:09SPEAKER_08: I don't think there's my wife.
- 22:16SPEAKER_08: Do a record scratcher.
- 22:19SPEAKER_08: I will.
- 22:19SPEAKER_08: I'll put a record scratch right here.
- 22:22SPEAKER_08: Here.
- 22:23SPEAKER_04: Okay.
- 22:24SPEAKER_04: Can I bring over my laundry too?
- 22:28SPEAKER_08: No.
- 22:28SPEAKER_08: It wasn't dirty laundry.
- 22:30SPEAKER_08: It was it was arranging pickup and we have too many kids.
- 22:33SPEAKER_08: Anyway, so uh since uh since that call, uh you have since moved locations.
- 22:38SPEAKER_04: Yes.
- 22:39SPEAKER_08: Where are you now?
- 22:40SPEAKER_04: Uh the uh the man cave.
- 22:43SPEAKER_04: You have a man cave?
- 22:44SPEAKER_04: I I don't no, I no, I don't.
- 22:45SPEAKER_04: It's just a butt.
- 22:49SPEAKER_08: Okay, so where were we?
- 22:51SPEAKER_08: Oh, um Top Gun Maverick.
- 22:53SPEAKER_08: I was gonna say that we may give away some there may be a spoiler or two here or there, but we'll try not to because Well, I I think everybody in the free world is seeing it.
- 23:01SPEAKER_06: I think that's probably true.
- 23:02SPEAKER_08: Yeah, I think that's probably true.
- 23:03SPEAKER_06: It's only the biggest movie on the planet.
- 23:05SPEAKER_06: So um so let's see it by now, you don't want to see it.
- 23:10SPEAKER_06: That's right, right.
- 23:12SPEAKER_04: Yeah, good point.
- 23:13SPEAKER_08: Yeah, that's true.
- 23:14SPEAKER_04: And and I and I'll be honest, I I went into it more to hang out with you guys than I did to actually think I was going to enjoy the movie to the level that I did.
- 23:26SPEAKER_08: Yeah, okay.
- 23:27SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 23:28SPEAKER_08: Um and I I had told somebody uh not to watch the first movie before you go see the second movie, and there was a reason for that, and you you guys can tell me the reason for that.
- 23:43SPEAKER_06: Because it's basically the same movie.
- 23:45SPEAKER_08: It's basically the same movie.
- 23:48SPEAKER_08: I mean But somehow ten times better.
- 23:51SPEAKER_08: Right.
- 23:51SPEAKER_08: It was it was better, yeah.
- 23:53SPEAKER_06: The the the actual action, the planes, yeah, that was actually way better.
- 23:57SPEAKER_08: The look of it was just like the phenomenal, yeah.
- 24:01SPEAKER_06: You know, like the the whole I mean there are but I mean I I really got freaked out though at the beginning when Tom Cruise showed up looking all old and wrinkled.
- 24:11SPEAKER_06: I know, which is the first one.
- 24:12SPEAKER_06: I thought I thought it was gonna I thought it was gonna be a Scientology recruitment video.
- 24:16SPEAKER_08: Well, well, I was thinking, you know, when I first saw it, the first time I saw it, I saw what other movie I mean it w why did they do that?
- 24:23SPEAKER_08: I have no idea.
- 24:25SPEAKER_08: Tom Cruise and say, come on and say, we worked really hard just for you, enjoy it.
- 24:30SPEAKER_06: You did it because you made six bazillion dollars.
- 24:33SPEAKER_06: Right.
- 24:33SPEAKER_06: That's why you did it, Tom.
- 24:35SPEAKER_06: Don't try to fool us.
- 24:36SPEAKER_06: We're on to you guys.
- 24:38SPEAKER_04: I did hear that he had to fight.
- 24:39SPEAKER_04: I guess they wanted to try to release it in a streaming format versus the actual movies, and he did fight to have it go to the theaters.
- 24:47SPEAKER_06: But I I get that because it's way better in the theater.
- 24:49SPEAKER_08: Uh and thanks to thanks to our friend, though, we know that uh it comes out in August.
- 24:54SPEAKER_06: Yeah, it'll be out in August in streaming.
- 24:56SPEAKER_06: So everybody, if you haven't seen it yet, wait till August, you'll be able to see it.
- 24:59SPEAKER_08: Yeah, we learned that a couple times.
- 25:00SPEAKER_06: Yes.
- 25:02SPEAKER_08: So um he probably already owns it.
- 25:04SPEAKER_08: I think probably I think we all agree that it is a superior movie to the first one.
- 25:12SPEAKER_06: Oh, absolutely.
- 25:13SPEAKER_08: And and so what are your reasons why it was superior?
- 25:16SPEAKER_06: I just thought the action was way better.
- 25:19SPEAKER_08: Yeah.
- 25:20SPEAKER_04: What about the story?
- 25:21SPEAKER_04: And and like you were saying, the story.
- 25:26SPEAKER_08: Yeah.
- 25:26SPEAKER_08: Yeah.
- 25:26SPEAKER_04: There was there was something there was something at risk.
- 25:29SPEAKER_08: Yeah.
- 25:30SPEAKER_04: Whereas like the first one is sort of like, hey, I'm a hot shot.
- 25:33SPEAKER_04: This is kind of like a day in my life.
- 25:36SPEAKER_04: Uh look at me go.
- 25:38unknown: Right.
- 25:38SPEAKER_04: And uh take my breath away.
- 25:41SPEAKER_08: And uh but speaking of that, so so that you got the volleyball scene in the first movie.
- 25:49SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 25:50SPEAKER_08: You got the sanity.
- 25:51SPEAKER_04: I was thinking, I was thinking just before that scene happened in in Maverick.
- 25:56SPEAKER_04: I was thinking like, well, I I don't think we're sort of gonna get that kind of 1980s beach body vibe that was in the first, and then like 30 seconds later, after I thought that.
- 26:08SPEAKER_06: So that was your fault, Bob.
- 26:10SPEAKER_06: That was on you.
- 26:11SPEAKER_08: Yep.
- 26:12SPEAKER_06: They probably if it hadn't been for you, they probably would have cut to, you know, them having a a book book discussion group on uh, you know, uh, you know, Gulliver's Travels or something, you know?
- 26:22SPEAKER_08: Right.
- 26:24SPEAKER_04: Uh let's talk about our demographic.
- 26:26SPEAKER_08: And let's talk about casting because the guy that played Rooster, I mean, can you get anyone that r was more reminiscent of Anthony Edwards?
- 26:36SPEAKER_06: He actually is Anthony Edwards' kid.
- 26:38SPEAKER_06: Right.
- 26:38SPEAKER_06: Yeah, he really looked like him.
- 26:40SPEAKER_06: Scary.
- 26:40SPEAKER_06: Yeah, it was he also had the best line in the whole movie.
- 26:43SPEAKER_06: Which was?
- 26:44SPEAKER_06: It wasn't a line, remember?
- 26:47SPEAKER_08: It wasn't a line.
- 26:48SPEAKER_06: Remember that?
- 26:49SPEAKER_06: Oh yeah.
- 26:50SPEAKER_06: That was the best, that was in my opinion, that was the best line in the world.
- 26:54SPEAKER_06: You know what he's talking about, Bob?
- 26:56SPEAKER_04: Where he told him, don't think about it.
- 26:58SPEAKER_08: Yeah, in the in the well, well, he went to rescue him and then he told me not to think about it.
- 27:04SPEAKER_06: You told me not to think about it.
- 27:05SPEAKER_06: Right.
- 27:05SPEAKER_06: What were you thinking?
- 27:06SPEAKER_06: You told me not to think.
- 27:07SPEAKER_06: And then he just goes, he just remembers his.
- 27:10SPEAKER_04: That was best line in the whole movie.
- 27:12SPEAKER_04: It wasn't even a line.
- 27:13SPEAKER_04: It was just the best part of the movie.
- 27:15SPEAKER_04: And I noticed too, I noticed too that like the last the last act really was is is the whole part where where there was just so much action and stuff going on that that's where all the chuckles and laughs sort of came in the audience at the most.
- 27:29SPEAKER_04: Well, because because they built it tail into the movie.
- 27:32SPEAKER_08: And they built it up to even you guys were fooled.
- 27:34SPEAKER_08: They built it up to be like, and again, spoiler alert, to be like Maverick was gonna die.
- 27:39SPEAKER_08: Yeah.
- 27:40SPEAKER_08: You know, and they were gonna end up.
- 27:41SPEAKER_06: I was pretty sure he was gonna be dead.
- 27:42SPEAKER_08: Yeah, and and and then it go t takes another turn and it kind of gets funny.
- 27:48SPEAKER_06: Yeah, you know, it's kind of like that, you know, buddy, buddy cop action, you know, thing, you know, that's what it turned into, you know.
- 27:56SPEAKER_04: So I I I really I really thought that like it was gonna get predictable.
- 28:01SPEAKER_04: Like we knew what was gonna happen, we knew what kind of emotions they were gonna tug at.
- 28:05SPEAKER_04: And I was I was waiting for it.
- 28:06SPEAKER_04: And when it happened, I was kind of like, okay, yeah, that's that's what I expected, but then it did sort of the twist.
- 28:12SPEAKER_08: Yeah.
- 28:13SPEAKER_08: A lot of it was predictable.
- 28:14SPEAKER_08: I mean, I I I expected uh a lot of that.
- 28:17SPEAKER_08: Um the one thing that I said that I thought was gonna happen didn't happen, and I'm glad that it didn't, and I told you about it.
- 28:23SPEAKER_08: There was a uh he he he hooks up in the first movie um there's only a mention of Penny Benjamin.
- 28:31SPEAKER_08: When they go into the aircraft carrier and they're getting chewed out by the by the the the ship's captain or whatever, and and he says, um um a twist or with uh the admiral a tryst with the admiral's daughter, one admiral's daughter.
- 28:45SPEAKER_06: And one flyby with an admiral's daughter.
- 28:47SPEAKER_06: Right.
- 28:47SPEAKER_06: And Goose goes, Penny.
- 28:50SPEAKER_08: And so Penny Benjamin is the love interest in in this, and she has a child, uh teenage daughter, and they mention her father, um, who is no no longer in the picture.
- 29:00SPEAKER_08: I thought that they were going to say that Maverick was the was her father.
- 29:05SPEAKER_06: Oh yeah.
- 29:06SPEAKER_06: Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 29:06SPEAKER_06: Yeah, I told you that.
- 29:07SPEAKER_08: But and I'm glad that they didn't, because that would have just been a totally different thing.
- 29:12SPEAKER_08: Yeah, that was reaching a little bit.
- 29:14SPEAKER_06: Right.
- 29:15SPEAKER_08: Yeah.
- 29:15SPEAKER_08: So um, but overall, I think uh uh I think it's it's it's getting rave reviews from um movie viewers, but I I think the critics also everybody loves it, man.
- 29:28SPEAKER_06: Nobody nobody really has anything bad to say about it.
- 29:30SPEAKER_08: And I think it's well deserved.
- 29:32SPEAKER_08: Yeah, I mean, I think it's I mean I think they did a really good job with it.
- 29:34SPEAKER_06: Yep.
- 29:35SPEAKER_06: Although it the end, you know, Marvel has ruined us for movies because I was I was actually waiting at the end credits for like Top Gun Three.
- 29:44SPEAKER_08: That was my favorite thing.
- 29:46SPEAKER_07: My favorite thing was as soon as it ended, Doug's like, I can't wait for Top Gun Three when when Tom Cruise flies to hell and rescues L.
- 29:55SPEAKER_06: Ron Hubbard.
- 29:57SPEAKER_08: And then we're standing in the back of the theater as people are filing out, and there's people going, you know, hey guys, what are you doing?
- 30:03SPEAKER_08: We're oh, we're waiting to see if Thanos comes back.
- 30:09SPEAKER_08: Yeah.
- 30:10SPEAKER_08: So that was uh that was pretty good.
- 30:12SPEAKER_08: And then we went outside and it was still raining, and we're still like, oh, it's good to see you.
- 30:16SPEAKER_08: Okay, bye.
- 30:17SPEAKER_08: Bye.
- 30:20SPEAKER_05: I'm 40 something, I'm cold.
- 30:26SPEAKER_08: Um, so let's see, what else?
- 30:29SPEAKER_08: Anything else?
- 30:29SPEAKER_08: Did we miss anything?
- 30:30SPEAKER_08: How was your visit with your family?
- 30:33SPEAKER_04: It was good.
- 30:33SPEAKER_04: It was good.
- 30:34SPEAKER_04: Um, I hadn't seen him since about this time last year.
- 30:37SPEAKER_04: There's you know, I get I get a lot of I love coming back to the county because there's definitely like like some imaginary line you cross.
- 30:45SPEAKER_08: Oh yes.
- 30:46SPEAKER_04: From from southern Maine going back north.
- 30:49SPEAKER_04: Where I mean I know there's there's there's progress and there's development and and there's things being done up there, uh-huh, but there's still so much that's just reminds me of being a kid.
- 30:59SPEAKER_08: Oh yeah.
- 31:00SPEAKER_08: Um I do like in a good way, in a good way.
- 31:06SPEAKER_04: You know, I I like that.
- 31:07SPEAKER_04: Um, but I mean coming home, I I feel like I kind of got like county lagged.
- 31:11SPEAKER_04: Like I was so tired when I got back.
- 31:14SPEAKER_04: But here's a funny thing.
- 31:15SPEAKER_04: So on the way back, I think we are we're somewhere outside of Howland.
- 31:20SPEAKER_04: And we see a sign, like a road sign, and it says, Beware, loose cows.
- 31:26SPEAKER_08: Oh yeah, yeah, I've seen that actually.
- 31:28SPEAKER_04: Oh, so that's that's like an on like that's just an ongoing thing?
- 31:32SPEAKER_04: Yes.
- 31:33SPEAKER_04: Oh, I thought it was like maybe somebody's cows got loose.
- 31:37SPEAKER_06: Up up here or somebody's bite somebody has bison.
- 31:39SPEAKER_08: Bison, yeah.
- 31:40SPEAKER_06: And they got loose.
- 31:41SPEAKER_06: Oh, bison.
- 31:42SPEAKER_06: Oh, okay.
- 31:42SPEAKER_06: They got loose.
- 31:43SPEAKER_06: Yeah.
- 31:43SPEAKER_04: Well, I was just kind of wondering.
- 31:44SPEAKER_04: I was like, I was like, you know, are they are they physically loose?
- 31:47SPEAKER_04: Are they morally loose?
- 31:48SPEAKER_04: Like what kind of loose are we talking about?
- 31:50SPEAKER_06: I think they're morally loose.
- 31:51SPEAKER_06: You know, there are cows, you know.
- 31:53SPEAKER_04: So I mean you see you drive by and you see cows by the side of the road, like, you know, passing a six-pack.
- 31:58SPEAKER_06: Yeah, yeah, smoking cigarettes.
- 31:59SPEAKER_06: Smoking a box of smokes.
- 32:02SPEAKER_06: Pass the two four, eh?
- 32:06SPEAKER_06: Pass the smoke, right?
- 32:07SPEAKER_06: Now uh I I've seen some really funny signs on the interstate.
- 32:11SPEAKER_06: Like my I think my favorite one was uh be on the lookout for eagles and deer in the roadway.
- 32:16SPEAKER_06: And I was like, are the eagles riding the deer?
- 32:21SPEAKER_06: What what's going on?
- 32:22SPEAKER_04: I mean, that probably caused more accidents because people were finding or trying to look up or yeah, they're probably trying to find eagles and deer.
- 32:29SPEAKER_06: And I'm like, um, you'll see them if they're in the roadway.
- 32:33SPEAKER_06: Uh you don't have to look too hard.
- 32:35SPEAKER_06: So we're definitely 20 years behind the rest of Maine.
- 32:38SPEAKER_06: 20?
- 32:40SPEAKER_06: Yeah, I think 30.
- 32:41SPEAKER_04: Yeah, yeah, you are.
- 32:44SPEAKER_08: No, I agree.
- 32:45SPEAKER_08: Really, it really is, man.
- 32:46SPEAKER_08: You like coming home, but you like going home better, right?
- 32:51SPEAKER_04: You know, you get so acclimated to like a little more instant gratification down here.
- 32:56SPEAKER_08: Yeah.
- 32:56SPEAKER_04: But just go into the movie theater, like just go into the Brayden.
- 33:00SPEAKER_04: It hadn't really changed that much since like, you know, 1978 when I went to see Star Wars.
- 33:06SPEAKER_04: Right.
- 33:07SPEAKER_04: No.
- 33:07SPEAKER_04: Actually.
- 33:08SPEAKER_04: And and there's there's this something really cool about the fact that it still has that sort of nostalgic charm.
- 33:14SPEAKER_04: I mean, it's it's small, it's not a mooty multiplex, it's it's it's got that sort of innocent character.
- 33:21unknown: Yep.
- 33:21SPEAKER_06: Well, I thought I I think Chris has done a really good job uh keeping that keeping that yeah spirit of it.
- 33:27SPEAKER_06: Yeah.
- 33:27SPEAKER_04: So I I really enjoyed that.
- 33:29SPEAKER_04: Yep.
- 33:29SPEAKER_04: I mean, you think about all the movies we saw there growing up, like Maine.
- 33:34SPEAKER_06: Well, I I mentioned I mentioned, remember when we all went to see Platoon?
- 33:37SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 33:38SPEAKER_02: Yes.
- 33:38SPEAKER_06: And we sat in the very front row, so every time there was a firefight, it was like, you know, we were in it.
- 33:44SPEAKER_06: Yeah you know, I was like, I was like, am I am I manning the M60?
- 33:47SPEAKER_06: What what who's my ammo guy?
- 33:50SPEAKER_08: My favorite is when we mentioned this, when we went to see Dumb and Dumber.
- 33:54SPEAKER_08: Oh my god.
- 33:55SPEAKER_06: Was that was that there?
- 33:56SPEAKER_06: But that wasn't at the Braden, that was at the the one.
- 33:59SPEAKER_08: Oh, that's right.
- 34:00SPEAKER_08: That was where Lowe's it Lowe's is now.
- 34:01SPEAKER_08: Yeah, right.
- 34:02SPEAKER_04: Right.
- 34:02SPEAKER_04: I I remember I remember we saw Braveheart, we saw Dumb and Dumber, and we saw uh Forrest Gump there.
- 34:08SPEAKER_08: But Dumb and Dumber, wasn't that the one you were rolling in the aisles?
- 34:11SPEAKER_06: I literally, I was sitting on the edge of this, I was sitting on by the the aisle, I literally fell out of my chair, laid in the aisle, and laughed for probably five minutes until I almost passed.
- 34:25SPEAKER_04: That was the funniest movie I've ever attended.
- 34:29SPEAKER_06: I laugh so hard at that freaking movie.
- 34:31SPEAKER_08: So I still do it.
- 34:34SPEAKER_06: Yeah, every time I watch it, I'm still laughing.
- 34:36SPEAKER_06: That and Tommy Boy, I always I never get tired of laughing at those two movies.
- 34:41SPEAKER_08: I so want it, like a couple of my kids have seen Dumb and Dumber.
- 34:44SPEAKER_08: Yeah.
- 34:44SPEAKER_08: Uh, but a couple of them have only heard references to Dumb and Dumber and they haven't seen the movie yet.
- 34:49SPEAKER_08: Uh I can't wait until they do.
- 34:51SPEAKER_08: My wife doesn't understand.
- 34:53SPEAKER_06: Yeah, it's it's not it's not a woman.
- 34:56SPEAKER_06: It's like the three stooges.
- 34:57SPEAKER_06: Women do not get the three stooges.
- 34:59SPEAKER_06: That absolutely hate it.
- 35:00SPEAKER_06: Yeah.
- 35:01SPEAKER_08: Oh yeah.
- 35:01SPEAKER_06: Yeah.
- 35:01SPEAKER_08: Yeah.
- 35:02SPEAKER_06: You know, that it it's a it's a total guy funny movie.
- 35:05SPEAKER_08: You had uh uh my son just had his eighth grade uh graduation and and two guys showed up in the orange tux and the and the um and those top hats.
- 35:15SPEAKER_06: That's funny because I just mentioned that last night.
- 35:17SPEAKER_06: I was I was with uh Christina and Jordan helping the you know, we're planning their wedding.
- 35:22SPEAKER_08: Yep.
- 35:22SPEAKER_06: And I was like, I was I was like, is there a dress code?
- 35:24SPEAKER_06: And they were like, well, you know, you know, dress up in a nice suit.
- 35:26SPEAKER_06: And I was like, I was gonna get one of the tuxes from Dumb and Dumber, and they both started laughing.
- 35:31SPEAKER_08: So I'll show you pictures because they they they actually stole the show.
- 35:35SPEAKER_08: That's awesome.
- 35:35SPEAKER_08: This eighth grade graduation.
- 35:36SPEAKER_08: It was it was her uh prom, I should say.
- 35:39SPEAKER_08: It was good, it was awesome.
- 35:41SPEAKER_08: Um so yeah.
- 35:43SPEAKER_04: Hey.
- 35:44SPEAKER_04: Uh do you want to hear the most annoying sound in the world?
- 35:52SPEAKER_06: What what's the soup de jour?
- 35:55SPEAKER_06: It's the soup of the day.
- 35:56SPEAKER_06: That sounds good.
- 35:57SPEAKER_06: I'll have that.
- 35:58SPEAKER_06: Whoa, they had the monkeys, they were a major influence on the Beatles.
- 36:03SPEAKER_07: It's one of those movies we can quote just like.
- 36:05SPEAKER_03: I can just quote, but I can quote all day from that movie, man.
- 36:09SPEAKER_03: Oh, friggin' that.
- 36:10SPEAKER_03: So you're telling me there's a cheat?
- 36:14SPEAKER_06: We landed on the moon.
- 36:17SPEAKER_08: Wait.
- 36:18SPEAKER_08: Dumb and dumber too.
- 36:20SPEAKER_08: Terrible.
- 36:21SPEAKER_08: Well not even funny.
- 36:22SPEAKER_08: The Dumber and Dumberer, which was this the prequel.
- 36:26SPEAKER_08: Yeah.
- 36:27SPEAKER_06: That was not even worth it.
- 36:28SPEAKER_06: Terrible.
- 36:28SPEAKER_06: Not even worth it.
- 36:29SPEAKER_06: And and the and then the one that they did.
- 36:31SPEAKER_08: Yes, was also awful.
- 36:32SPEAKER_08: Terrible.
- 36:33SPEAKER_08: Yep, I agree.
- 36:34SPEAKER_08: Yeah.
- 36:34SPEAKER_08: This was one of those things that you don't touch.
- 36:36SPEAKER_06: You know, they should never try to redo that.
- 36:39SPEAKER_04: Right.
- 36:39SPEAKER_04: But everybody tries.
- 36:40SPEAKER_04: Everybody tries to like do a sequel and catch that magic.
- 36:44SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 36:44SPEAKER_07: Right.
- 36:45SPEAKER_04: And and you kind of want it to happen again, but when it's like when it's entirely almost the same jokes.
- 36:49SPEAKER_07: Right.
- 36:50SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 36:50SPEAKER_04: It doesn't have the same spontaneity and surprise.
- 36:54SPEAKER_04: Like like coming to America, the second one.
- 36:57SPEAKER_04: Was largely like the first one was great.
- 37:00SPEAKER_06: Yeah.
- 37:00SPEAKER_06: Oh yeah.
- 37:01SPEAKER_04: But um, you know, I think it was Netflix or somebody made made a sequel, and it's I was excited about it, but it's largely the same movie.
- 37:08SPEAKER_08: It's the same movie.
- 37:09SPEAKER_08: Yeah, yeah.
- 37:09SPEAKER_08: Pretty much.
- 37:10SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 37:10SPEAKER_08: Pretty much.
- 37:11SPEAKER_08: Which was kind of like Top Gun, but in a different in a different way.
- 37:15SPEAKER_08: Yeah.
- 37:16SPEAKER_08: You know, yeah.
- 37:20unknown: Yeah.
- 37:21SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 37:21SPEAKER_04: No, I I do think that that Maverick was, in my opinion, was better than the first.
- 37:25SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
- 37:25SPEAKER_06: Yeah.
- 37:25SPEAKER_06: It was uh well, I mean, because the first one is just basically him going through Top Gun and then going through the school and finding himself as Maverick, you know, finding the inner pilot, I guess.
- 37:37SPEAKER_06: I don't know.
- 37:38SPEAKER_06: And then, you know, bad stuff happens and he's gotta go.
- 37:41SPEAKER_06: This one, it was like from the you know, we got all that crap out of the way, so now we can go, oh, there's bad guys and we gotta go get them.
- 37:48SPEAKER_08: Right, there's a goal to solve the world.
- 37:49SPEAKER_08: There's a goal, right?
- 37:51SPEAKER_06: So there was actually more like your son said, there was actually a plot this time, right?
- 37:55SPEAKER_06: Other than just, you know, hey, let's get a jet and fly around.
- 37:57SPEAKER_08: Although you know what else he's he said, my kids are pretty bright.
- 38:00SPEAKER_08: Um so they had to fly you know under the radar and get in there.
- 38:06SPEAKER_08: And you had a great analogy.
- 38:09SPEAKER_08: Because when it first started, they first started planning the mission.
- 38:12SPEAKER_08: I'm pointing at you.
- 38:13SPEAKER_08: Yes, you who did when did I say this?
- 38:16SPEAKER_08: You said it was going for the Death Star.
- 38:18SPEAKER_06: Oh, yeah, yeah.
- 38:19SPEAKER_06: Right?
- 38:20SPEAKER_06: Because there was a couple times I was like, because they said they had to hit this target, and I was like, I can hit that, my speeder.
- 38:26SPEAKER_06: It's no bigger than a wombat.
- 38:29SPEAKER_08: But my son said, Jude said, Why don't they just send in a drone?
- 38:35SPEAKER_08: Because couldn't they fly a drone?
- 38:37SPEAKER_06: That would that would have ruined the whole that would have saved the whole movie.
- 38:40SPEAKER_06: Just some guy with a joystick going on.
- 38:44SPEAKER_06: I would be the airport.
- 38:46SPEAKER_04: If there was any politics to gain from that movie, it was a very anti-drone movie.
- 38:51SPEAKER_05: Yeah, it's very anti-drone.
- 38:55SPEAKER_04: Um a lot of people.
- 38:56SPEAKER_06: And you know the Navy's gonna get a huge recruitment boost.
- 38:59SPEAKER_06: Oh, yeah.
- 39:00SPEAKER_06: Naval aviation's gonna be able to do that.
- 39:01SPEAKER_04: Yeah, I mean, you can you you know that all the dronians are gonna be so upset about this movie.
- 39:04SPEAKER_06: Yeah, they're gonna be like, oh, why we weren't even in it?
- 39:07SPEAKER_06: And we're gonna be like, yeah, well, you guys suck.
- 39:09SPEAKER_06: You just hit video game.
- 39:11SPEAKER_06: We're gonna cancel the movie.
- 39:15SPEAKER_08: Um would you call that movie pro-American?
- 39:18SPEAKER_08: Oh yeah.
- 39:19SPEAKER_08: Because I read a bunch of articles that said that um finally a you know, after uh you know Hollywood has been anti-this, anti-that, you know, and all this that the there's a pro-American movie in the number one spot, and people are getting, you know, people And that's why I think that's why it's huge, because everybody that's what people want.
- 39:36SPEAKER_06: Yeah, you know.
- 39:37SPEAKER_06: I think so.
- 39:38SPEAKER_06: They want, you know, yay, whatever.
- 39:41SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 39:42SPEAKER_04: When I came home, I mean my dad asked, he's like, well, who was the you know, I you know, I I basically said there was there was an enemy, another foreign entity.
- 39:49SPEAKER_04: Right.
- 39:50SPEAKER_04: And he's like, Who was it?
- 39:51SPEAKER_04: And I was like, I I don't know.
- 39:52SPEAKER_04: You don't know.
- 39:53SPEAKER_06: I mean they don't say they don't say no, no.
- 39:55SPEAKER_06: I assume it was the Russians because Right.
- 39:58SPEAKER_06: Why not?
- 39:59SPEAKER_06: Because they're making that's who we fought the first time.
- 40:01SPEAKER_06: Right.
- 40:02SPEAKER_06: And they didn't say it that time either.
- 40:03SPEAKER_08: Right, that's true.
- 40:05SPEAKER_04: So, you know, just someone say maybe maybe the sand didn't they say in the Maybe the sands of Iran is very, very white.
- 40:13SPEAKER_04: What?
- 40:14SPEAKER_04: The sands the sands of Iran could be very, very, very white.
- 40:18SPEAKER_08: Like snow.
- 40:20SPEAKER_04: Like snow.
- 40:20SPEAKER_04: Um and they have a lot of pine trees there too.
- 40:22SPEAKER_04: Oh, they do.
- 40:22SPEAKER_06: Oh yeah, oh yeah, I forgot.
- 40:24SPEAKER_06: You know, this they're they're a huge Christmas tree export country.
- 40:26SPEAKER_08: Yeah, but didn't they call them Russian MIGs in the first movie?
- 40:29SPEAKER_08: Russian MIGs?
- 40:30SPEAKER_06: Yeah, they called them MIGs, but the Russians supplied everybody with MIGs.
- 40:34SPEAKER_08: Yeah, that's true.
- 40:35SPEAKER_06: So that's true.
- 40:36SPEAKER_08: Yeah.
- 40:37SPEAKER_08: I think it's good that they didn't specify it.
- 40:40SPEAKER_06: You know, I mean, it's not like Rocky 4, you know, it's US against the Russians.
- 40:43SPEAKER_06: You know?
- 40:44SPEAKER_06: Well, it's just hard because you can cheese anybody off.
- 40:51SPEAKER_04: What's that, Bob?
- 40:53SPEAKER_06: I said you really can't cheese anybody off because it doesn't target any so it could be anybody you want it to be.
- 41:01SPEAKER_04: You know, yeah, it was pretty clever in that respect.
- 41:04SPEAKER_04: I've never really quite seen something done quite that way.
- 41:08SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 41:09SPEAKER_08: So if you haven't seen uh Top Gun Maverick, go do it.
- 41:12SPEAKER_08: Um listen to this and you don't have to.
- 41:14SPEAKER_08: Right.
- 41:15SPEAKER_04: Or or you don't need to now.
- 41:19SPEAKER_04: We're gonna uh But we will still accept uh ticket refunds.
- 41:24SPEAKER_04: Yeah, right.
- 41:26SPEAKER_08: We're going to uh take a break and we're gonna come back and do climb the wall of tunes.
- 41:30SPEAKER_08: You are you willing to do that with us, Bob?
- 41:32SPEAKER_08: Oh, you do it every single time.
- 41:34SPEAKER_04: Sure.
- 41:35SPEAKER_08: You do it every single time.
- 41:37SPEAKER_08: I'm glad you do.
- 41:39SPEAKER_04: Well, sir, can you play Shinedown?
- 41:40SPEAKER_04: Because I know I know it's Shinedown.
- 41:43SPEAKER_04: Doug.
- 41:44SPEAKER_04: You're such a freaking chick, Doug.
- 41:46SPEAKER_05: Shut up, Bob.
- 41:47SPEAKER_05: Okay, kick your ass.
- 41:48SPEAKER_05: Hold on, boys.
- 41:49SPEAKER_08: Okay, so we forgot that we have to do the uh the guitar legends and drum legends alphabet.
- 41:57SPEAKER_08: We're all the way up to L.
- 41:59SPEAKER_08: The letter of the day.
- 42:00SPEAKER_06: Man, I'm learning so much from this.
- 42:02SPEAKER_08: Every time I try and go to uh climb the wall, Doug's like, um, we're gonna do this.
- 42:07SPEAKER_08: Remember the alphabet.
- 42:08SPEAKER_08: I forgot.
- 42:10SPEAKER_08: Okay, so the letter of the day.
- 42:12SPEAKER_08: Oh, this is again from the Guitar Legends Alphabet and the Drum Legends Alphabet, both by Beck Feiner.
- 42:19SPEAKER_08: Um, the letter of the day today is L.
- 42:22SPEAKER_08: L.
- 42:23SPEAKER_08: Any guesses as to who L would be for guitar players?
- 42:27SPEAKER_08: No guesses?
- 42:28SPEAKER_08: No.
- 42:28SPEAKER_08: Okay.
- 42:29SPEAKER_08: L is for Les Paul.
- 42:32SPEAKER_06: Oh duh.
- 42:33SPEAKER_08: So influential was this musical wizard that in 1952 he invented one of the most popular styles of guitar, the Gibson Les Paul.
- 42:42SPEAKER_08: Thanks to this and other guitar-related inventions, Paul is the only person to enter both the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and the National Inventors Hall of Fame.
- 42:51SPEAKER_08: You know, he also invented um multi-track recording.
- 42:55SPEAKER_08: I don't know if you knew that or not.
- 42:57SPEAKER_04: I think I think that question from the dumb guy.
- 43:00SPEAKER_08: Yeah.
- 43:01SPEAKER_04: Did he actually was he part of a band?
- 43:04unknown: No.
- 43:04SPEAKER_04: Did he did he did he did he put out music?
- 43:06SPEAKER_04: I'm pretty sure he couldn't even play guitar.
- 43:08SPEAKER_07: No, no, of course he could play guitar.
- 43:09SPEAKER_07: He was a jazz guitar player.
- 43:10SPEAKER_07: I know I'm just kidding.
- 43:11SPEAKER_07: Oh, okay.
- 43:14SPEAKER_08: I was like, I was like, hold on, Doug.
- 43:16SPEAKER_03: I don't know why he's in the book then.
- 43:18SPEAKER_03: He was a drummer.
- 43:20SPEAKER_08: No Les but I didn't know if he'd ever performed or been part of a band or a he and his wife had uh they were a team, Less Les Paul and Mary Ford.
- 43:29SPEAKER_08: Um yeah, Les Les Paul and Mary Ford.
- 43:32SPEAKER_08: Yeah.
- 43:33SPEAKER_08: Um and and she sang, actually, and played guitar.
- 43:36SPEAKER_08: She played very good get jazz guitar, and he uh was a jazz guitar player and uh played in like big bands and stuff like that.
- 43:43SPEAKER_08: Yeah.
- 43:43SPEAKER_08: So he was a great player.
- 43:45SPEAKER_08: Uh all the way up until like his nineties or something like that.
- 43:48SPEAKER_06: Oh, yeah, he was yeah, he was still playing.
- 43:50SPEAKER_08: Yeah.
- 43:50SPEAKER_08: All right.
- 43:50SPEAKER_04: The drum so we're talking we're talking, we're talking back in the fifties?
- 43:54SPEAKER_08: Uh forties and fifties, I think.
- 43:57SPEAKER_08: Forties, yeah.
- 43:57SPEAKER_07: Thirty thirties, forties, fifties, something like that.
- 43:59SPEAKER_07: Yeah.
- 44:00SPEAKER_08: That big band, you know, swing jazz.
- 44:02SPEAKER_08: Yeah, yeah, okay.
- 44:03SPEAKER_08: Yep.
- 44:04SPEAKER_08: Alright, the drum legends alphabet.
- 44:06SPEAKER_06: Drum legends.
- 44:07SPEAKER_06: L is for Tommy Lee.
- 44:09SPEAKER_06: Ooh.
- 44:10SPEAKER_06: It's a terrible picture.
- 44:12SPEAKER_06: Who yeah, okay.
- 44:13SPEAKER_06: Um looks like him, though.
- 44:16SPEAKER_08: I have news about Tommy Lee.
- 44:17SPEAKER_06: Looks like Sebastian Stan.
- 44:19SPEAKER_08: Well, because he played Tommy Lee.
- 44:20SPEAKER_08: I know.
- 44:21SPEAKER_08: That's another joke.
- 44:21SPEAKER_06: Oh, hold on.
- 44:24SPEAKER_06: It's the winter soldier.
- 44:26SPEAKER_06: Okay.
- 44:26SPEAKER_06: Um L is for Tommy Lee.
- 44:28SPEAKER_06: This tattooed bombastic showman of glam rock band Motley Crue plays loud and lives lives louder.
- 44:37SPEAKER_06: Okay.
- 44:39SPEAKER_06: That's a sex track reference.
- 44:40SPEAKER_06: I don't know what it is.
- 44:42SPEAKER_06: Putting his drum kit in cages and even on roller coasters during concerts.
- 44:46SPEAKER_06: The way he hit his drums, you'd think he hated them as much as he hated hotel TV sets.
- 44:57SPEAKER_06: You suck, Brett Finer.
- 44:59SPEAKER_04: Terrible joke.
- 45:00SPEAKER_04: I don't know how I feel about that one.
- 45:02SPEAKER_08: About Tommy Lee?
- 45:03SPEAKER_04: Like, yeah, I mean, other than being in a cage and playing upside down, is he really that good?
- 45:09SPEAKER_08: Uh he is a good drummer.
- 45:12SPEAKER_06: He is a good drummer, but he's not he's not I mean he's no Neil Pearl.
- 45:15SPEAKER_08: No, no, no.
- 45:16SPEAKER_06: Never not even.
- 45:17SPEAKER_08: And he's not even I mean, I wouldn't even put him in my top ten to be to be honest.
- 45:20SPEAKER_06: He makes Lars Yorke look good.
- 45:22SPEAKER_08: Yeah.
- 45:22SPEAKER_06: You know what I mean?
- 45:23SPEAKER_08: Oh, really?
- 45:24SPEAKER_08: Okay.
- 45:25SPEAKER_08: Interestingly enough, um so the Motley Crue is out on the stadium tour.
- 45:29SPEAKER_08: Yeah, that's right.
- 45:30SPEAKER_08: Def Leppard, Motley Crue, Poison Poison, and Joan Jett.
- 45:34SPEAKER_08: And on the first show, second show uh of the tour, uh Tommy Lee broke some ribs.
- 45:42SPEAKER_06: Oh yeah, I read that.
- 45:42SPEAKER_08: So he had to hand the sticks over to somebody else, so he's not on he's not playing with Motley Crue for this tour.
- 45:47SPEAKER_08: That was fun.
- 45:48SPEAKER_08: You know, Age will Age will do that to you.
- 45:50SPEAKER_08: Wow, he is he is he is uh quite aged and and his lifestyle, I'm sure.
- 45:54SPEAKER_06: Well, I yeah, about his lifestyle is not uh health conducive.
- 45:59SPEAKER_04: Speaking of that tour, um speaking of that tour, when I was actually in Holton on the way getting back on the interstate, I saw a woman come in wearing what looked like she was wearing a poison t-shirt kind of you know how like they wear them kind of slung over one shoulder, you know, trying to reveal some skin and trying to live uh the old glory days, but she looked about 80.
- 46:20SPEAKER_08: Did you get her number?
- 46:22SPEAKER_04: Uh no, no, I uh took a wide berth of that one.
- 46:25SPEAKER_04: She's been like grandma.
- 46:29SPEAKER_04: Are you a time traveler?
- 46:31SPEAKER_04: Speaking of which, I was thinking I I saw that uh like uh what is the band?
- 46:36SPEAKER_04: Uh Winger.
- 46:37SPEAKER_04: Winger is on tour, yeah.
- 46:39SPEAKER_04: Somebody else.
- 46:40SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 46:41SPEAKER_04: But and now this is me probably at an age where I'm much more sensitive to things, but the song 17 sort of creeps me out.
- 46:48SPEAKER_04: We've already got it.
- 46:49SPEAKER_04: Yeah, we yeah, we we were we uh we already discussed that, yeah.

- 47:18SPEAKER_05: 38?

- 47:28SPEAKER_06: Well, yeah, but I mean I don't I just I don't I don't know what you would change it to.
- 47:32SPEAKER_06: I mean they were just like you know, hey, uh we wrote this and we were perverts.
- 47:37SPEAKER_06: Uh we're not perverts anymore.
- 47:39SPEAKER_06: Right.
- 47:40SPEAKER_08: So here we go.
- 47:41SPEAKER_08: But even if he was 25 when he wrote it, it's still a little uh little side, you know what I mean?
- 47:47SPEAKER_08: Right, yeah, yeah.
- 47:48SPEAKER_05: So talk about living a different age.

- 52:47SPEAKER_04: Okay.
- 52:47SPEAKER_04: Um what's what era was the dominant era?
- 52:54SPEAKER_08: Um for his solo work, I would say the dominant era was um late 80s into the 90s.
- 53:05SPEAKER_04: Okay, and you and you just said his solo work, so he was probably part of a band.
- 53:11SPEAKER_08: He was.

- 53:45SPEAKER_06: Does he have any iconic songs?
- 53:50SPEAKER_06: Not the band iconic.

- 54:43SPEAKER_08: Okay.
- 54:46SPEAKER_07: What was the band genre?
- 54:48SPEAKER_08: I would call that uh That's a tough one.

- 58:57SPEAKER_06: This one sounds a little better.
- 59:00SPEAKER_06: You turn it up really loud.
- 59:03SPEAKER_08: I didn't.
- 59:05SPEAKER_08: This is a classic, Fields of Gold.
- 59:08SPEAKER_08: Pure poetry.
- 59:10SPEAKER_08: Oh, he does.
- 59:12SPEAKER_08: He sounds like he's in a hall.
- 59:14SPEAKER_08: I'm not sure what's up with that.
- 59:15SPEAKER_08: That's me in the hallway.
- 59:19SPEAKER_08: Um my favorite one though.
- 59:24SPEAKER_07: Ah, yeah, I love this song.
- 59:25SPEAKER_07: Fortress Around Your Heart.
- 59:27SPEAKER_07: Ah, it's my favorite Sting song.
- 59:29SPEAKER_07: Yeah.
- 59:30SPEAKER_07: I'm not a huge Sting fan.
- 59:32SPEAKER_07: And enormous.
- 59:33SPEAKER_06: I'm not either, just because he comes across as such a douchebag.
- 59:36SPEAKER_08: Yeah.
- 59:37SPEAKER_08: So like he's he's above everybody.
- 59:39SPEAKER_08: Yeah.
- 59:39SPEAKER_08: Yeah.
- 59:40SPEAKER_06: Um even in that documentary I saw, the one that uh what's his face?
- 59:44SPEAKER_06: Andy Summers made?
- 59:45SPEAKER_07: Yeah.
- 59:45SPEAKER_06: That police documentary.
- 59:46SPEAKER_07: Yeah.
- 59:47SPEAKER_06: Even in that he comes across as a douchebag.
- 59:49SPEAKER_07: Yeah.
- 59:49SPEAKER_06: And uh it kind of turns me off.
- 59:52SPEAKER_06: You know.
- 59:52SPEAKER_06: But I love the police.
- 59:55SPEAKER_04: Have you guys seen um it's on Hulu?
- 59:57SPEAKER_04: It's actually uh Steve Martin and Martin Short.
- 1:00:01SPEAKER_04: Oh, true.
- 1:00:02SPEAKER_04: It's called Only Only Murders in the Building.
- 1:00:04SPEAKER_06: No, I haven't.
- 1:00:05SPEAKER_06: Oh my god, I bet that's a little hysterical.
- 1:00:08SPEAKER_04: Well, it's there's a sidebar to to what you to sting, actually, because so they're in a uh a high-end uh apartment, I think, in New York City, and somebody gets murdered, and Martin Short plays sort of like this over-the-talk uh producer, and Steve Martin is an ex-actor who played like a detective on a TV show.
- 1:00:28SPEAKER_04: And they decide they want to make a podcast about their investigation into who killed this person in their building.
- 1:00:36SPEAKER_04: And Sting is one of the people living in the building playing himself.
- 1:00:41SPEAKER_04: And Martin Short goes off on a tirade accusing Sting of being the murderer, which is actually pretty, pretty hilarious.
- 1:00:48SPEAKER_04: Right.
- 1:00:48SPEAKER_04: But uh I'd recommend if you haven't seen it.
- 1:00:50SPEAKER_04: Oh, that's funny.
- 1:00:52SPEAKER_08: Um I I mean he's supremely talented, right?
- 1:00:56SPEAKER_06: Oh no doubt about it.
- 1:00:58SPEAKER_06: I mean, you know, that's uh that's a gimme, but I don't know, just just about him, you know.
- 1:01:02SPEAKER_06: He's just so I agree.
- 1:01:06SPEAKER_08: Yeah, I I agree wholeheartedly.
- 1:01:08SPEAKER_06: And it uh uh but I mean I'm not sure how you knew what means, but I'm pretty impressed, dude.
- 1:01:16SPEAKER_08: Uh I was just gonna try and see if I could find some uh some sting music on YouTube because um if it would make any difference.
- 1:01:25SPEAKER_08: Um maybe it's my hookup here, or maybe it's my iTunes, maybe it's the chord.
- 1:01:31SPEAKER_08: I don't know.
- 1:01:31SPEAKER_08: But I figured I would try.

- 1:08:55SPEAKER_06: It's like punch buggy.

- 1:09:01SPEAKER_06: Everybody would hit Bob.
- 1:09:03SPEAKER_04: So I have like lower paralysis in my left arm.
- 1:09:10SPEAKER_06: We were such bullies.
