020: Matterful

[00:00:00] Speaker A: Snap, man, that does sound super delayed. All right, I see where you were coming from. I get. I get why you were acting the way you were. [00:00:11] Speaker B: Now, I'm not going to lie on my end. I thought I was spot on with you. [00:00:15] Speaker A: Yeah, see? See how that works? It was literally like, snap, Snap. [00:00:26] Speaker B: So I don't know what happened with last week's audio, man, but that was horrible. [00:00:35] Speaker A: It wasn't. It wasn't too bad. I was able to treat it a little bit and at least get it, like, on the level. It just sounded a little distorted, but. [00:00:44] Speaker B: Yelling most the time, bro. [00:00:47] Speaker A: Yeah. Kind of turned me on, though. [00:00:52] Speaker B: You always know. You always know what to say. [00:00:59] Speaker A: All right, well, I do want to say on something. Oh, sorry, did you. [00:01:03] Speaker B: No, it's me. It's May 28th. [00:01:06] Speaker A: Oh, that's right. Yeah, people. Like when we place ourselves in time. That's cool. I made a comment on. On Instagram that is getting dozens of comments by the minute. It's this video of this guy in an SS shirt at a concert, and just a bunch of people surround him and, like, start pushing him and, like, take a few punches at him, and they end up, like, pushing him down on the ground. And then the video ends. But he's wearing an SS shirt. [00:01:41] Speaker B: So do you punch like that? Like you just punched? [00:01:46] Speaker A: No. Okay, what did I just do? I just went like that. I'm sitting in an office. It's not like I'm really gonna give, like, a real dad. So I commented on it and I was like, oh, so it's. It's cool to, like, push people and punch people. And then all of the comments, dude, not a one has made an argument that I can't fuck up entirely, dude. Like, someone. Someone was like, yeah, you wear that kind of shirt, you're gonna get your ass kicked. And I was like, oh, I guess she had it coming because the way she was dressed, someone else was. Someone else was like, dude, Nazis aren't people. And I was like, that's crazy because that sounds like something a Nazi would say. It just. Classifying people and saying they're not people. [00:02:44] Speaker B: That's a good point. [00:02:45] Speaker A: Literally. I gotta. I'll check right now, see how many. How many replies I've got on there. I've got 53 replies, and it's going. I mean, every time I refresh it, there's just a new page of responses. Dude, people are triggered. It's great that. [00:03:08] Speaker B: That is nuts, actually, dude, that people get so worked up over that stuff. But it's. It's awesome when you're the one working them up, you know? [00:03:16] Speaker A: Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. I feel the energy. It's. It's reviving me. [00:03:24] Speaker B: Hey, I. Have you listened. I don't know if you know. I don't know if you know who Sean Ryan is yet. [00:03:32] Speaker A: I know of him, yeah. [00:03:34] Speaker B: Okay. You familiar with a band called Megadeth? [00:03:39] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:03:42] Speaker B: Dave Mustaine was his last person he interviewed. [00:03:46] Speaker A: And just recently. [00:03:48] Speaker B: Yeah, like, just this week. I didn't really realize. Dude's a Christian. He kind of confirms. Okay, okay, okay. All right. I don't know if you. This is some guy did a study. This is like, I want to say back in the 90s, 80s. Possible. I want to say the 80s. I. I saved it. The little snippet. There was a guy who. It was back in, like, yeah, 70s, 80s. It was during the craze of, like, oh, you play the songs backwards and. [00:04:22] Speaker A: They say something and the satanic panic. [00:04:25] Speaker B: Yeah. And he was like, wow. I didn't know they coined a phrase for it. Or is that just you? [00:04:29] Speaker A: Yeah. Nope, that's what they called it. [00:04:32] Speaker B: Oh. Been cooler. [00:04:33] Speaker A: If you would say that's what they call it now. They. They probably didn't call it that at the time. [00:04:38] Speaker B: So he was like, you know, I went home and played things backwards, and sure enough, like, there would be instances where there were clear sentences being said backward In. In the backwards. He goes, you know, I have the software. This is kind of what I do, but I have the software to do these things backwards. So he said, I started doing it with everything he owes conversations, gospel, jazz. Everything he was. I just did with everything he was. And you ever get into conversation and somebody saying something, but you kind of get the sense that they're saying, like, something else behind it. And he was like, that's basically what is really happening. He. He goes, you know, every so often you can have a conversation with someone. Every so often, there will be clear sentences backwards with what you're saying. He goes, and no matter what it is, it usually relates to what you're singing about or what you're saying. And he was like, for instance, gospel songs, there would be a message of, like, a gospel message in their songs at some point. He goes, it's not the whole song, but there will be times where there is a clear sentence or two within the song that is clear. It's like they were just speaking it to you. And he's like, it's the same with, like, conversations when you're talking to someone and they're saying oh, yeah. I feel like there's. You maybe not say it, but you feel like there's something else they're saying behind what they're saying. You know, there's something else they're trying to get at. [00:06:10] Speaker A: Text. [00:06:11] Speaker B: Yeah. And so I just thought that was really cool. And listening to David Mustaine now, he's like, there's certain songs I won't perform because they were my witch hexes. And I won't perform them because, you know, Lord forbid somebody. He goes, it wasn't the whole hex, but Lord forbid somebody figures out what completes that whole hex. And they're singing it and he was like. So he goes. And they don't know. They're saying. They don't know. They're singing a witch hex. He's like, but when I was practicing witchcraft, like, these hexes worked When I did a hex on somebody, like, if I wanted them back, I would do the hex. They'd come back if, you know, if I wanted someone ill, I would do a hex. They were getting ill. He's like, so some of my songs have hexes in them, but they're not the complete hex, you know? He's like, they're there. There's a song that has almost a whole complete hex in it, except for like a certain part of the hex. And he's like, so on this side, I just don't sing those songs. [00:07:16] Speaker A: Why the caution? Why the caution? And just leaving out that one part. [00:07:24] Speaker B: Yeah. Not certain, man. Not certain. [00:07:26] Speaker A: Is there a hex to get my wife to go to bed at 8 o' clock? [00:07:31] Speaker B: Okay. I didn't know if you wanted this. I was gonna offer it up. There is. [00:07:39] Speaker A: There is crushed up Tylenol PMS in her tea. [00:07:44] Speaker B: Yep. Little. Little service. Just like at 8 o' clock, she's like, hey, babe, would you like some tea? You go make her the tea. Just stir it up, man. [00:07:56] Speaker A: I did that to her once with fiber. She. She had a surgery the doctor wanted her to drink Benefiber to, you know, and it was. It was working, like, too well. She was like, I can't. I can't drink this stuff anymore. It's like. It's a problem. So she stopped taking it and she got constipated again, but she refused to take it. So I gave her a margarita with Benefiber mixed up in it. And about a half an hour later, we're watching TV on the bed and she just looks at me and she goes, did you spike my Drink with Benefit. She ran to the bathroom. [00:08:41] Speaker B: D JJ's little brother D He had a point where, like, he didn't poop for like a week and he was constipated badly, like, where it was hurting him and we. We didn't know what to do. I mean, I was. I was around the corner from sticking a finger up there, you know, just working it out, the old Bobby. [00:09:04] Speaker A: And I was gonna ask if you. [00:09:06] Speaker B: Got up there, the old Bobby and. [00:09:09] Speaker A: Wittens thing, you know, give him a little Roto Rooter. [00:09:13] Speaker B: Yeah. So just go up and cut. What ended up working like a benefiber, like, just. Just loading them up with fruit, fruit juice and benefiber type stuff. [00:09:26] Speaker A: We went to Nashville when I was 18, and I remember that it took me probably three days to realize that I'm not farting or pooping. It just dawned on me all of a sudden. I haven't taken a crap since I've been here, and I felt fine. And I just kept on eating three meals a day, drinking a pot of coffee a day, like I do, you know, just going about my business. I never, ever felt constipated. So I was, like, getting afraid that I had, like, parasites, because how do you eat and, you know, drink for five days and not feel anything? And I got. I got some fiber pills, and it was like a lot of gas with, like, little rabbit pellets coming out, you know, like, it just wasn't. I don't. It. It. It. I recovered from it so gradually that I don't even remember, like, when I finally pooped. I think I was home by the time I actually pooped. And we were there for eight days, but, like. Yeah, and I've not been regular since. [00:10:37] Speaker B: I had a weekend like that. I don't know whose parents do this, but I was dating this chick who had, like, the cool dad, and it was. It was me and her. Her best friend and my, like, step cousin. That's how I met her was through his girlfriend. We four stayed the weekend at her stepdad's house. And I didn't poop the whole weekend, you know, you're not going to. You know, I'm like 16, you know, I'm spending the night at her house. We're all kicking back. I'm not going to be the dude that stinks up the bathroom, you know, I mean, so I just kind of held it from Friday to Sunday, and I got home Sunday night and, man, I blew my O ring out. I mean, like, it was. I remember it like I was Significantly worried that, like, somebody's gonna have to take the other half of this thing that's hanging out of my ass out. Like. Like, it hurt. I pushed so hard just to get the half out that, like, I. I gave up on the other half. I just kind of took a break in mid poop and was just like, I don't know what to do. Like, this is. This is killing me. So. Yeah, I never did that. [00:11:50] Speaker A: Yeah, that sounds like you were also a little dehydrated. [00:11:55] Speaker B: Probably. So. Yeah, that's probably my. My intro to weed. So there was probably a lot of it was through that stupid step cousin. I'm so adamant not to smoke, and then I ended up smoking. [00:12:09] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:12:09] Speaker B: Yeah, man. It was. Hey, it is what it is, you know? [00:12:14] Speaker A: How were your dates? [00:12:19] Speaker B: All right. [00:12:20] Speaker A: Oh, I'm so excited. You. You smirked like you got a story, dude. [00:12:26] Speaker B: All right. [00:12:27] Speaker A: Does she listen. [00:12:28] Speaker B: Does she listen to this podcast before then? Dude, I don't tell anybody about this podcast, dude. I have so many people ask because I'm like, oh, yeah, I got it. Like, I can't hang out tonight. I gotta do the podcast. Podcast. Or, hey, I'll let you go. I got to do the podcast, and. [00:12:40] Speaker A: All of our listeners are yours. Just so you know, you tell everyone. [00:12:44] Speaker B: About this podcast, but I don't. [00:12:48] Speaker A: You tell people at work and then you go on the podcast talking about, like, oh, yeah, we got this top secret, like, contract with NASA. [00:13:01] Speaker B: I. I don't tell females that I. That I'm talking to. In fact, one tonight was like, hey, you know, like, do you want to hang out later? And like, you know, like, that sounds cool, but kind of hanging out with my daughter right now. And then I got my podcast later, and she's like, oh, that's so cool. You do a podcast. What's it on? I said, we humorously. Sorry. We humorously address, like, men's topics and, like, mental health type stuff. And she's all. That sounds so cool. What's. What's it called? I was like, yeah, I don't tell people I know. So she's like, I totally understand. I was like, I talk too much about my family. So it was. It was good. First of all, I want to welcome everybody to Pseudonyms. You know, I want to get that out there. We've been getting a little long on our. On our intro stories. I do. Let me move this real quick. I have something I need to look up. I will go into my date, though. So we end up kicking back. We end up kicking back Saturday night. After she gets done with her, her. Her thing and, and it was like her photo shoot. So we end up kicking back and I go over there and before I go over, she's like, byob, I don't really have alcohol here. And she's like, but you know, I, I smoke, I'm a smoker. And I'm like, oh, great. Know like another pothead. Like, like Big country. And so I go over, we watch. We end up playing like Gears of War because that was like a nostalgic game for her as reminder of her childhood. So I'm like, cool. We played that. Then we put on Sucker Punched and our Sucker punch. Watch that. And at the end of night she's like, you know, are. You know, I'm gonna lay down. Are you cool? You know, And I was like, if you want to smoke, you could totally smoke. And she's like, oh, you read my mind. So she smokes and she smokes and she offers me some. I withstand. No, but thank you. And then after she smokes, I went home. I was like, I'm gonna go home. However she brought up, do you like breakfast? Said, I love breakfast. Like, I don't have it every morning, but like, I do like to go on a Saturday or Sunday and get breakfast, you know. So she's like, I love breakfast. I'm like, sir, are we doing breakfast tomorrow morning? She's like, yeah. I'm like, am I. Are we waking up, going to breakfast or. And she's like, nah, you gotta come get this. And I was like, cool, I like that answer. So I leave. And I said, what time? And she's like, you know, 8, 8:30. Pick me up at 8:30. All right? I leave her house around 2:00am, come home, watch a little bit of TV, get caught up on the game. I missed. Wake up at 6:30am, right? So I wake up. So I'm like, what if we end up coming by here? I got to clean the house up real quick. So I clean the house up still jump in the shower, shit, shave, you know, shower come out, say 8 o' clock, I'm done. Hey, you cool for me to slide by? You ready? No response. Like, okay, give it a little bit. Like, you up? Nothing. So I said, hey, don't hate me, but I'm fucking. It's nine o' clock now. Don't hate me, but I'm going to breakfast. I'm hungry as fuck now. So I go to breakfast. [00:16:58] Speaker A: You're the one who got me thinking about breakfast, right? [00:17:02] Speaker B: So I go to breakfast and Then she ends up texting. I get done breakfast, she ends up texting, hey, like, sorry, good morning. I just woke up. You know this. And I'm like, oh, that's cool. Like, did you want to hang today or what? You know, like, I'm cool if you don't. If you changed your mind, Like, I'm totally cool. She's like, no, like, what do you want to do? And I'm like, I don't know. We either, like, go to main event, which is, like, Dave and Busters, or we can go on a hike. Yeah, I don't know. And she was like, a hike sounds great. And I'm like, of course it does. So, you know, I mean, it's like 97 degrees. Of course it sounds great. [00:17:40] Speaker A: Why did you suggest a hike? [00:17:43] Speaker B: She seemed outdoorsy. [00:17:46] Speaker A: Okay, all right. [00:17:47] Speaker B: And, yeah, she is. So we go, and she wants to hike at this place. First of all. First of all. So I said, where you want to hike? You tell me. I said, no, I'm not the hiker. If you want to hike, tell me where you want to hike. And she goes. She lists this place, or she responds, yes, daddy. Right? That's cool when you're 17, maybe even 20. But when you're dad of four, not cool. So. So I'm like, okay. So I pick her up. We start to go to her place, like, her choice of a hike. And I'm like, have you ever seen, like, the Superstition Mountains? Like, I heard it's, like, haunted and people gone missing. And she's like, oh, I've always wanted to hike that. I'm like, let's go. So we end up going there, and. [00:18:41] Speaker A: It sounds like you're trying to murder this chick. You want to go for a hike? Yeah, let's go to this place where. Where women go missing all the time. [00:18:53] Speaker B: So she picks the spot. And as. As I redirect, I see her texting, and I'm like, no, that's why. He's like, you know, you gotta let me. [00:19:01] Speaker A: Yeah. Hey, I'm going to the haunted forest with this skinhead dude I met. [00:19:10] Speaker B: So we end up going, and we get on this hike, and we're just getting to learn each other. And she's like, are you religious? And I'm like, you mean religious? Like, do I study the Bible? Try and follow God's word? Yeah, I guess you could say I'm religious. And. And so she's like, oh, you know, like, I'm like, now, mind you, I wasn't born Christian, and I kind of shared with her my journey of coming to Christianity. The fact that I had to see like that these places were real, that the Bible checked out, that I did the same to the Book of Mormon, I did the same to the Quran and looked, you know, briefly at Catholicism and some other ones. And I said, you know, Christianity is the only one that set itself apart even outside the Bible, you know, like, even Josephus wrote that this man's doing miracles that wouldn't like that. No man has done, you know, he's, I wouldn't even consider him a man, if you will, kind of summarizing. And I go, you know, even Pliny the Younger, you know, wrote about, you know, the day of the crucifixion, that there was like an earthquake and then Josephus confirmed that there was an eclipse. I was like, so, you know, I, I then had to look at the man Jesus and who he was or who he is. And so I'm thinking like, cool, you know, and I'm like, what about you? And she's like, I was like, you seem spiritual. She would call myself spiritual, not religious. She's like, yeah, one of those. And she's like, well, crystals. [00:20:32] Speaker A: She's got crystals, doesn't she? [00:20:35] Speaker B: I thought, I thought she would. And she doesn't. However, she's really big into ketamine and having like. And she kept referring to like hitting that ether experience and manifesting her dreams and she can, she can, she could do out of body experiences. [00:20:59] Speaker A: Astral projection? [00:21:01] Speaker B: Yes, astral projection. I'm just like, oh, like I don't want, I don't want to mix, I don't want to mix fluids with you. Like, I, I don't, I don't want that connection, you know, like that. And so then we leave the hike and mind you, like, we, I guess we were both like trying to out hike each other because like probably about hour two hours in, she's like, you want to turn around? And I'm like, dude, I'm ready to turn around when you. I was ready to turn around like when we got in the car and she was like, yeah, me too. And I'm like, why the did we come on a hike then, bro? Like, dude had to drive seven hours on a dirt road that hasn't been scraped in forever and, or seven miles and, and then we go to lunch and she starts telling me about like her daughter's best friend's parents. Whenever her daughter has a sleepover, she has a sleepover because they all kind of like drink and kick back and that's turned into her being the third. The third in their mix. Yeah. And so she's like. So, like, when my daughter is asleep over at her friends, like, I go over and we all three fuck. And I'm like, did you say, like, holy fuck? Yeah, dude. So I'm like, yeah, I'm not into that stuff, you know, Like, I've done. Doesn't interest me anymore. Like, that's not something you do with someone you love. And she was like, yeah, I would never do it with someone I love. Okay. So now I'm like, hypocrite. You know? Like, what if there was that one time that we go to Vegas or something and we just want it? You know What? [00:22:43] Speaker A: I'm not good enough. What am I an. Yeah. [00:22:51] Speaker B: So. Yeah, so that's how that went. Nothing happened. My daughter, like, when I told her I was leaving Saturday night so late to go hang out with a friend, play video game, and she was like, ew. And I'm like, what do you mean, ew? And she was like, I'm just saying you because I know what you're gonna do. So when I came home, like, Sunday and I got up, like, it's, you know, coming home at 3, getting home to 3, and then, like, going. She lives, like, a half hour away from me. And then going to. Getting up at six, going to breakfast by myself. I was doing a Bible study during breakfast. She's like, oh, my gosh. Like, the guilt you must had, like. And I was like, is this number three? Yeah. She's like, so like, last night, I'm like, hey, guys. Just so you know, like, nothing happened. Just so you guys know, like, I want to make it clear because her boyfriend attends my Tuesday night Bible study. [00:23:49] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:23:49] Speaker B: And so I'm like, hey, just so you guys know, like, nothing happened on that date. Like, I didn't smoke. I didn't have sex. And she's like, oh, my gosh. Like, we were totally talking to each other. Like, man, this dude feels guilty before the Lord. Like, he's waking up. He's in solitude. He's. [00:24:04] Speaker A: And I was like, penance. [00:24:07] Speaker B: Like, nothing happened. They're like, really? We. We bet money that, like, something happened. No, man. [00:24:13] Speaker A: No, man. [00:24:14] Speaker B: I gotta walk in a manner worthy of the gospel here. Get out of here. Mr. Holiday. What. What are we. What are we discussing tonight? [00:24:28] Speaker A: So I guess you're Wyatt. [00:24:31] Speaker B: Oof. [00:24:35] Speaker A: I dare you to find a movie that I don't know the reference to. [00:24:42] Speaker B: I would definitely look for one. You. That. I take that as a challenge. Have you seen Sucker Punched? [00:24:49] Speaker A: No, I've never seen that. [00:24:53] Speaker B: Oh, it's. I, I want to call it noir. It reminds me of like, Remember that movie? I want to say it's not red. It's. I want to say it has an all star cast, has like Bruce Willis, but it's like, I don't know. Sucker Punch, I think was filmed. I, I would say chromatic, if that's the word I'm looking for like really vibrant colors, you know, like the darks are dark. There was a movie, man, I want to say, I want to say it's red, but I know it's not red. Red was a totally different movie, but this was a movie I want to say with Bruce Willis. I almost want to say it was a Tarantino, but it's not a Tarantino movie. I'm looking it up now, bro. I got to look it up. [00:25:54] Speaker A: LA Confidential. [00:25:56] Speaker B: Sin City. Sin City, Yeah, kind of like that. Where, like, you know, I mean, like, it's, it's. I don't know, it's. It's almost like they, they saturated with color in a sense, but they also saturated with black. And so it's basically about a girl who gets put in the psych ward. And I don't know, like, I kind of nailed it, right? Because it's her favorite. It's one of her favorite movies. So we watch it and right when she goes get her lobotomy, I noticed the whole thing changes and I'm like, oh. So she's either already gone or this movie is how she's coping with where she's at. It's one of the two. And it's. It's the latter. It's. It's a movie about her coping being in this psych ward. And. Yeah, so it was, it was, it was decent. It was decent. I mean, I wouldn't put it on my top five. [00:27:01] Speaker A: I'm intrigued enough to check it out, but I've never seen Sin City and I feel like that's more important. [00:27:08] Speaker B: I've never seen Sin City either. Man, I wish you lived closer. We could do a movie day. [00:27:12] Speaker A: Yeah, man, but I love noir. You like noir? [00:27:18] Speaker B: I'm not opposed to it. I lie. Like, I thought, I thought Sucker Punch was. Had a great soundtrack. I thought it had great directing in the sense of, like, its angles and kind of what it focused on. It just. I was expecting more for it being someone's top five, you know? Yeah, like. Like when it was her top five, I was kind of like, okay, you like it in the butt, you know? [00:27:51] Speaker A: Yeah. I think everyone's got one in their top five that probably doesn't quite matter to other people, you know? [00:28:03] Speaker B: What is your top five? I think mine are matterful. [00:28:08] Speaker A: Matterful. Okay, well, the title of this episode is gonna be matterful for sure. The Departed. Jurassic Park. [00:28:21] Speaker B: You notice in the Departed, anytime there's a someone's going to die, there's an X in their scene. [00:28:26] Speaker A: Yep. Yeah. Man, I love that movie. I make my wife watch it every. [00:28:35] Speaker B: Watch it again, man. [00:28:35] Speaker A: Father's Day and my birthday. Jurassic Park. [00:28:45] Speaker B: Okay, okay, hold up. I can see why you think there's always one in everyone's top five. We just hit your one. [00:28:54] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:28:54] Speaker B: Jurassic Park. [00:28:55] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:28:57] Speaker B: What about Jurassic Park? Like, does it just hold a place with you because you were so young when it came out that it just impacted you because you were in your dinosaur phase? [00:29:05] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah, that's probably part of it, but it just gets better and better with age. Like, I didn't really understand too much of the plot when I was young, but, like, as an adult, it's. Yeah, it just gets better and better. The themes of, like, progress, you know, where, like, Alan Grant is, like, opposed to kids and technology and, like, all these things that kind of, like, are progressive things. And then throughout the movie, he slowly kind of comes around to, like, he's no longer all about fossils. Literally, his life is fossils, and it's all in the past. And, like, he can't move on, but then he, like, slow. [00:29:49] Speaker B: Who plays Alan Grant? Is that the old man, or is that Jeff Bloom? [00:29:53] Speaker A: That's Sam Neill. [00:29:59] Speaker B: Is that the main dude? [00:30:00] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah. [00:30:01] Speaker B: Or the old white man? [00:30:02] Speaker A: No, the. Not. Not the old guy. It's the. It's the main guy who's with Laura Dern. [00:30:10] Speaker B: Okay, okay. All right, so what are your other three? [00:30:15] Speaker A: Put me on your bum out there. Put me on the spot, man. Everything. Time I. [00:30:31] Speaker B: Big section to clip out. [00:30:32] Speaker A: I know every time I come up with one, I'm like, no, no, no. Surely there's gonna be more that you'd want to give that spot to. Like, I'm. I'm pressuring myself. [00:30:43] Speaker B: Yeah, I got, like, my top five on, like, on. On Quick Draw. [00:30:47] Speaker A: Okay, Give them to me. [00:30:50] Speaker B: Anonymous. [00:30:51] Speaker A: Never seen it. [00:30:52] Speaker B: Monte Cristo. The Count of Monte Cristo. [00:30:55] Speaker A: Never seen it. [00:30:59] Speaker B: Okay, so Anonymous is the theory that Shakespeare didn't write all of his writings, that they were written by a duke because it was considered to be. It's a true theory, too. It's not like. It's not, like, just Some movie like this is a true theory that this duke did all the writings. He gave them to a writer. That writer did his first play of this duke's writings. And everybody lost their. Like, everybody was like loving it. And they were asking, we got to know who wrote this and like with come out and like the writer, please step on stage. And the dude froze because it was political. It was a political play. And Shakespeare came out and was like, I wrote it. I wrote it. And the duke kind of goes to the guy that he gave the play to, and he was like, hey, that's. That's the guy now. Like, Shakespeare's the guy now. And through that, you know, through all these hamlets and you know, some of. [00:32:01] Speaker A: The other movies, I forget Romeo Juliet. [00:32:04] Speaker B: Romeo Juliet. But there's another one that's Queen. Queen Macbeth or Macbeth. [00:32:11] Speaker A: Macbeth, he has another one. [00:32:12] Speaker B: Macbeth. Through these plays, there's like this resentment and animosity. Like, dude, like, you're gaining like stardom and I'm getting nothing. And I was the guy who was supposed to get it all. So the duke on his deathbed is like, hey, look, it's now your turn. Like, I'm dying. Here's the rest of my plays. And. And so when this duke dies, prior to his death, Shakespeare takes off. After his death, Shakespeare's writings are not known really. Like, we wouldn't be able to, you know, state their names like Romeo and Juliet and Macbeth. And like, there you. He has a bunch of writings, but they're. They're like bunk as fuck. This other guy, prior to the duke's death, his writings are bunk as fuck. After the duke's death, his writings are well known. And Shakespeare and this guy were close friends. And so the theory is that the duke wrote their, Their. Their plays, if you will, or their writings. What they're known for. He wrote both of what they're known for and what they're not known for is their own writings. It makes sense because again, a duke is more educated to me to. To kind of set up these writings versus, you know, you take poets of that time and people of that time, they weren't. That was something like the low light, like the, the low class. Did you know, it wasn't. It wasn't. It was frowned upon for people of. Of stature to. To do plays and stuff. And so that's. That's anonymous. And through it, you kind of see the queen at that time in her ancestral relationships that she's having. And so that's one that's not one. These are just Top five, no certain order. [00:34:05] Speaker A: Okay. [00:34:07] Speaker B: Moulin Rouge is up there. And Mulan, you love. I love that. Okay, that is kind of like, to me, a sucker punch. Kind of like scenery, if you will. Like, it's. It's very dark at times, very colorful at times. It's kind of. It kind of, to me has that saturated noir kind of look. However, each character to me has such strong characteristics, you know, like the Duke in. In Moulin Rouge is very much insecure, not comfortable with who he is. You know, like, can't really control things. Like, what has to have control. But, like, he's more or less the joke. And I feel like I could relate to him. I also feel I could relate to the master of ceremonies because, like, no matter. Like, when. When Nicole Kidman is sick, like, diamond is sick, he's like, I don't. Like, you could tell he. It's hurting him to make her go on, but he's like, this is what we have to do for our family to succeed. Her being part of the family, like, this was our dream. And I have to, like, the show must go on. And with Nicole Kidman, like, the fact that she is just, you know, like, she's doing what she has to do to make sure the show goes on. Like, you know, she's acting like she's in love with the Duke. She's, you know, she's performing when she's sick. She's like, I got you guys. Like, I'm gonna do this for the family. And then Ewan McGregor, he's just. He's, you know, hopeless romantic, just wants love. I think for me, I could just relate to each one of those. It's not worldwide, but the Prestige. [00:35:58] Speaker A: Okay. [00:36:05] Speaker B: Have you seen the Prestige? [00:36:06] Speaker A: Yeah, I think I watched it with you. [00:36:09] Speaker B: That twist at the end. [00:36:11] Speaker A: Can I. Can I spoil it on the podcast? [00:36:14] Speaker B: I don't give a shit. I've watched it. [00:36:16] Speaker A: Okay, so the comedian, Big, Big J Okerson, like, years ago, before he was anyone, he was playing at a college. And they had him set up in, like, the event room. And the whole room was, like, full of kids in their pajamas. And they're just talking and just not paying attention to his stand up show. And so he eventually, like, asks them, like, hey, like, why are you guys here if you're not paying attention to the show? And they're like, oh, it's right after you. It's movie night. We're watching the Prestige. And he's like, oh, cool, they're twins. Fuck you. And he. And they didn't know, but he's like, that's the movie. I mean, like, you won't enjoy any of this movie knowing that they're twins. [00:37:06] Speaker B: No. [00:37:08] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:37:09] Speaker B: That's awesome. [00:37:10] Speaker A: Yeah, they're twins. Fuck you. [00:37:13] Speaker B: I'm totally a spoiler alert guy. Like, I'd prefer to know the end. Like, go ahead and tell it to me. [00:37:19] Speaker A: Oh, really? Wow. [00:37:20] Speaker B: Yeah. Like, some people don't tell me. No, you can tell me. Like, it just lets me observe more now. [00:37:27] Speaker A: I. I'll say. I. I've seen movies both ways, and it doesn't destroy a movie for me. I knew the twist in Fight Club before I saw Fight Club, and it would have been cooler not to know, but it was still a great movie, you know? [00:37:46] Speaker B: I take it that's one of your top five? [00:37:48] Speaker A: No, no. So I got. [00:37:50] Speaker B: Let me round them out. [00:37:51] Speaker A: Let me round them out. Okay, I forgot. I forgot. Okay, you're on. [00:37:54] Speaker B: Monte Cristo has Jim. What? Gavazi, Caviezel, he's in it. And basically it's about revenge. Like, his friend sets him up because his friend is like, some rich kid who's jealous of, like, this guy's hustle and hard work and integrity and sets him up and he goes to prison on this island that you're not supposed to ever get out of because he gives a note to Napoleon. Bonobar, is it? Right? Yeah, Bonaparte. He gives a note to Napoleon in the midst of, like, everything for. For the guy who owns the shipping company that he works for that him and his friend work for. And his friend sees it and he's like, hey, so like, I saw you talking to a poly. What was that about? And he's like, I can't. I. Like, it was nothing. I, like, I can't tell you. And that, like, pisses off his friend. Plus Jim's got the girl, and this rich guy doesn't have a girlfriend, so he's just jealous. So he sets up Jim to get arrested and sent to this island. And the guy Jim's supposed to be in prison the rest of his life. And Jim ends up meeting another cellmate in another, like, in another cell. They're in solitary confinement, but this guy, like, is trying to find his way out, ends up digging into Jim's cell. So Jim's like, dude, so this guy, like, is well versed in chess. He's well versed in, like, math, science, self defense, like fencing, you know? And so he ends up teaching Jim all this stuff and he dies. And so, like, they go to, like, and like, this is a torture prison. Like, they're getting their asses kicked every day. And so, like, Jim ends up, like, swapping bodies after they bring in a body bag, and they go and throw them off the cliff. Like, the body bag. And Jim's in it. And so, like, Jim gets out, like, gets picked up by pirates. He earns their trust. They find gold. He ends up going back to his hometown, rich as hell. And. But nobody knows it's him. Like, they're like, dude, like, you seem familiar. Like, you look like somebody I know. And he's like, no, you know, whole different demeanor. Has a butler. Butler is a cool, cool cat. He's that Mexican, like, short, little, fat Mexican dude. And. And so it's all about revenge. And so he ends up, like, making. Controlling, dictating, like, his best friend's future. And so it's just. It's a great movie. And then. So there's What? There's four? Yeah, yeah, there's four. Number five. I mean, come on. Stepbrothers. [00:40:43] Speaker A: Okay. I was. I was gonna give it to stepbrother. So I will. I will basically say, like, one of these spots is tied with step brothers. It'll. It'll have to be a top six. I. You know, I don't know what to tell you. I told you. Jurassic park and the Departed. I'm gonna say Hereditary Gangs of New York and jojo Rabbit. [00:41:14] Speaker B: Okay. Never heard of or seen Jojo Rabbit or Hereditary. [00:41:19] Speaker A: Okay. Hereditary is a horror movie. I was not okay for days after I saw this movie. [00:41:28] Speaker B: Really? [00:41:29] Speaker A: Yeah. I. I went to the theater with, like, eight of my friends, so you would think pretty good vibe, my buddy. [00:41:39] Speaker B: I didn't realize Orgy afterwards. [00:41:42] Speaker A: Yeah, man, we're pounding ass. I didn't realize my buddy's wife was out of town. He left that night and couldn't go home, so he went to the Blind Pig until closing because he didn't want to go home alone. [00:42:02] Speaker B: Really? [00:42:03] Speaker A: This movie us up, dude. And it is. Yeah, it's. [00:42:10] Speaker B: How old are you when you saw this. [00:42:13] Speaker A: Buddy? This. This movie came out in 2018. [00:42:19] Speaker B: Really? [00:42:19] Speaker A: Dude, I was, like, 25. [00:42:23] Speaker B: All right, let me ask you real quick. Let me ask you now, because I don't. I messed around with the chick a couple years ago. She was. She was, like, a neighbor's niece, and she'd want to come over usually around midnight, and she would just want to watch scary movies. And it didn't sit right with me because a lot of the movies she wanted to watch were, like. Like about, you know, the devil, you know, like, nuns that were, you know, cursed. And, you know, like, I'm just like, oh, my gosh. Like, I'm not really into scary movies. However, I do want to know, do you think they could possibly be. Possibly. Not so much. Open up a door. But do you? [00:43:13] Speaker A: Do you? [00:43:14] Speaker B: I don't know, man. I just don't like. To me, they don't sit right with my soul. [00:43:17] Speaker A: Watching this one is worse than anything you watched with that chick. It has the darkest, most blasphemous ending. Nothing is okay. Everything is wrong. It ends on the creepiest note possible, and it makes me want to read my Bible. So for me. For me, totally opposite effect. I find horror movies often are that way. I don't know. So it depends. There's. There's some that definitely glorify evil, but I'd say horror movies, by and large, are the opposite. They're not glorifying evil. The bad guy is the devil. The good guys are defeating the devil, broadly speaking. Not. Not literally, but, you know, Jason, I'm eliminating, like, final. [00:44:14] Speaker B: This. Yeah, I'm eliminating Final Destinations and Friday the 13th and Freddy Krueger. Yeah, I'm talking about, like, more of those. Like, the conjurings and, you know, like, those. [00:44:26] Speaker A: Yeah, the. The point is still to defeat the evil and to exercise the demons and to, you know. So, I mean, I don't. I don't find that to be. But there are some, like, Rosemary's Baby that definitely, like, are pro Satan, you know, Like, I can't really describe it any other way, but. Yeah. No, I would say hereditary. Yeah. That is. That is not the way to get people on the side of evil. It is. It was 100% the opposite direction. It freaked me the hell out, dude. I was leaving my house the next morning for work. And there's a scene without. Without spoiling anything, there is a. Something gruesome left in the front yard just left for someone to discover. And Toni Collette, who's the main character in the movie, you don't see anything, but you hear her leave, go out the front door, and then come back just wailing and screaming. And that scene goes on for, like, five straight minutes of her just screaming on the floor. It's horrifying. So when I'm leaving my front door, I'm thinking about that scene, and I'm just like, God, what if I just, like, saw my sister dead in the front yard or something? Like, I'm just thinking all the craziest because it's always what you're not expecting. And right as I'm locking the door, a pigeon just flew by my head. Dude, I. I dropped my bag. I was swatting in the air. I was just. I was a mess. Dude, it's the greatest movie. [00:46:13] Speaker B: All right, I'll have to check that out. Okay, so I have. I. While. While we're on topic before I get to Jojo Rabbit. [00:46:19] Speaker A: Okay. [00:46:21] Speaker B: Have you seen Sinners? [00:46:23] Speaker A: No, but I've been hearing all about it. [00:46:26] Speaker B: Okay. [00:46:26] Speaker A: It's like gay vampires, right? [00:46:29] Speaker B: Is that what it is? [00:46:31] Speaker A: That's. I. I don't know. I know it's vampires. Maybe it's not gay, but there's some kind of social justice thing to it. [00:46:37] Speaker B: I thought the same thing. I was about to say. Next week's podcast is discussing that movie, however, started to watch it the other night because I got the black box and so I turned it on and, like, at the, like, 25 minute mark. Vampires. [00:46:53] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:46:53] Speaker B: And I'm like, I'm not a Twilight guy, guys. Like, I'm not. I'm a realist. I'm not like one of these, you know, vampires and werewolves and Star wars and Star Trek, and I'm not. I'm not a sci Fi guy. And so I turned it off. I was so disappointed when I saw dude still Alive in his dad teeth. And I was like, oh, my gosh. So I was. I was kind of. I was kind of turned off at that point. And it made me wonder, why is everybody making such a big deal about this movie? [00:47:26] Speaker A: I'm remembering now there's some kind of social justice aspect to it. I think it's more of a race thing than a homosexuality thing. I think I might have just been projecting that because it's vampires. [00:47:41] Speaker B: I will say the two main characters are black and the two main. The two. The two vampires that I saw were white. [00:47:48] Speaker A: Okay. Yeah. So that's definitely got to see it being a race. [00:47:51] Speaker B: Yeah. Yeah. [00:47:52] Speaker A: Are they Irish? Is that part of it? [00:47:54] Speaker B: I. Dude, I don't know, bro. Like, I. I just, like, I was into it when I saw, like, okay, like, where's this going? These brothers seem like they're kind of like. Like, you know, badasses don't give a. And then I see the vampires and I was like, what in the. What? Come on. And I just turned it off. I was like, I can't. I can't watch this crap. That's how. That's exactly what I thought. I'm sorry. Anybody that thought Sinners was a good movie, it probably is. I didn't give it a shot. [00:48:21] Speaker A: You don't like From Dusk Till Dawn. [00:48:26] Speaker B: I've seen it. I wasn't a big fan of it. I mean, the only vampire I like is Batman. [00:48:32] Speaker A: It's not really a vampire. [00:48:34] Speaker B: Ah. Not really a man. [00:48:37] Speaker A: He is. He's literally just a man. Dude, there. [00:48:44] Speaker B: There's about us, but that's what I'm saying. That's about as far as it goes for me with vampires. Is Batman even a vampire? [00:48:50] Speaker A: Hilarious scene in It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia when they were. For some reason, they were like, oh, yeah, no, like, we should be, like, shape shifters. Like, we can turn into bats, like Batman. And the. The other character is like, batman doesn't turn into a bat. No, no, he's just a normal guy. He just likes bats. And then Charlie Day just goes, no, that can't be what Batman is. He's a grown man that likes bats. [00:49:18] Speaker B: Is that the same dude? Like, during that commercial, There was a commercial where they're like, dude, like, they're selling, like, they're giving mixers. Like, I've never had this without. Without vodka. He's like, charlie, it's orange juice. And he's like, yeah. Have you ever had this without vodka? And what's. What's Jojo Rabbit? [00:49:42] Speaker A: Oh, dude, Jojo Rabbit rules. My wife and I saw it in the theaters when it came out, and we've probably watched it 10 times since then. It's perfect. It's about a little kid. He's in Germany during World War II, and he's a Hitler Youth. And he is all in on the Nazis. Like, he loves Hitler. He loves all the stuff. Hitler is his imaginary friend. So Hitler just, like, hangs out with him. And it turns. So Scarlett Johansson is his mom. It turns out she's part of the resistance, and she's hiding a Jewish girl in the attic. And so he has to basically face like, do I turn her in? Do I. You know, what do I do here? And then he, like, slowly starts to realize that the Nazis are not as cool as he thought they were. Sam Rockwell is one of the Nazis that, like, leads his little, like, kid kids camp. And he's also not into it. He's just getting a paycheck, you know? [00:50:51] Speaker B: Yeah. He's like, hey, man, this is the only place that called me back. [00:50:54] Speaker A: Yeah, basically. And. And so, yeah, there's just a lot of fun dynamics. And, yeah, it starts. It starts out with Hitler in the room with him, getting him ready for his day, and he's just like, all right, it's going to be a great Day. Good, go ahead. Hail me. And he goes, hail Hitler. And he's like, what was that, man? Come on, Hail me. He's like, all right, all right. Hail Hitler. And he's like, hitler? Who's Hitler? And then he gets him all psyched up for his day and he ends up just going, hail Hitler. Hail Hitler. Hitler. He's like, yeah, hail Hitler. It's going to be a great day. Then he just runs out the door, he's Haitlin Hitler. And everyone on the street. It is the best movie. [00:51:46] Speaker B: I have to check that out. That sounds pretty funny. [00:51:48] Speaker A: Yeah. And except for only one piece of language that I can think of. I think, I think your 8 year old could get into this movie. Like if, if you've kind of explained like World War II and kind of what was going on there. [00:52:07] Speaker B: Say you're like, there's only like one piece of language. You just told me like eight of them in a row, bro. You were just like, hell, yeah, Hell Hitler. My daughter running down the street saying, hill either. [00:52:23] Speaker A: But the, the point, obviously he ends up not liking the Nazis at the end. I mean, it's, you know. [00:52:31] Speaker B: Is it every time I think of kids in Hitler, I think of. What is that boy in the striped pajamas? [00:52:39] Speaker A: Yeah, I've never seen that. [00:52:41] Speaker B: That one's not bad. [00:52:42] Speaker A: Is he in a concentration camp? [00:52:45] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah, yeah. But he's engaging. He ends up meeting like a German kid from the outside. [00:52:51] Speaker A: Like, okay. [00:52:54] Speaker B: Yeah, so, so. [00:52:56] Speaker A: Oh my gosh. It's not striped pajamas. I just realized what the title means. He's in a. He's in like a jail outfit. Right? [00:53:05] Speaker B: I thought so. Yeah. [00:53:07] Speaker A: And the German kid just thinks it's like pajamas. Like the German kid doesn't realize. [00:53:12] Speaker B: I, I don't know. [00:53:14] Speaker A: I'm, I'm, I'm thinking that's what it is. Yeah, I've never seen it either, so. Man. [00:53:23] Speaker B: Yeah, I don't know. So tonight's topic. Did you want to jump into that or you want to keep going on movies, man? [00:53:30] Speaker A: I could talk about movies. [00:53:33] Speaker B: Let me just put my paperwork away. [00:53:36] Speaker A: No, I mean, we can, we can get into what you've got. [00:53:39] Speaker B: Why not get. I mean, we could do that, but we could also save it for next week. I mean, I have. [00:53:43] Speaker A: Okay. [00:53:43] Speaker B: I have two topics still. I have the fasting I had. I now have struggles for a husband. [00:53:49] Speaker A: Okay, all right. Yeah, we'll save it. [00:53:51] Speaker B: All right. Yeah, save it it, dude. All right, so stretch marks. Stretch marks is really. Okay. Let me ask you this, man. It's it's kind of been something I've been contemplating. She's eight. Stretch marks. Like really is into like. He talks a lot about passion. Passion of the Christ. Do you think my 8 year old's too young? [00:54:25] Speaker A: I've never seen it. [00:54:27] Speaker B: You've never seen Passion of the Christ? [00:54:29] Speaker A: No. [00:54:30] Speaker B: Are you even saved? [00:54:32] Speaker A: No. This turns out if you talk to Tom Quirk, Turns out not. So I never saw it when I was younger and then by the time I would have checked it out, I'm no longer. I'm still not sure what I believe about depictions of Jesus. A lot of people make the argument that it's a second commandment violation. And I'm kind of of two minds about it. [00:55:09] Speaker B: Okay. Never viewed it as that. However, I'm enjoying and watching the Chosen series right now. [00:55:19] Speaker A: I've heard that's great. [00:55:21] Speaker B: I love it. I love it. I love the fact that they give real life to these guys. You know, it's not biblical in the sense of like, you know, homeboy has to go to the bathroom. You're not going to read about that in the Bible. You know, Matthew went to the bathroom. But there is like, it just gives like, kind of like a background to Simon and, and, and Matthew and all these guys, like, and it gives them kind of a personality and so it's kind of cool in that sense. It kind of makes, it kind of gives Jesus. It's, it's a human side that you maybe miss in the Bible, you know, like you do see a servanthood in the, the Gospel of Luke. You see his manhood in Matthew is his kingmanship in Mark, his godhead in, in John. But it get like the episode I watched today, you know, he's, they're at the beach. He just heals Veronica, the, the lady that's been bleeding for 12 years. [00:56:28] Speaker A: Okay. [00:56:29] Speaker B: And all the guys are like in the water, you know, they're all like, like celebrating. I forget, well, I passed out for a little bit, the blood. But I wake up and they're all like, like in the water. All the disciples are in the water just kind of like splashing each other. And Jesus is like, I'm gonna go like, enjoy myself with these guys. And they start playing chicken, you know, like they start splashing each other, playing chicken. Like people are getting on Jesus's shoulders and you know, like it was just. You're not gonna read that in the Bible. It's not biblical. It's not, not, you know, but at the same time it's, it's a part of his Humanity that you'd be like, he probably did do that at times. You know, he probably did enjoy hanging out with the guys and just enjoying them at times. I don't know. But it, it, I don't know, it. I like the show, but Passion for Christ is gory in the sense of this guy you cut out. [00:57:31] Speaker A: Yeah, there's, there's a, A difference between like unbiblical and non biblical to me. And so like non biblical, you know, it's not like antithetical to the Bible, but just something that's not in there. It's just added, you know, as for story sake, I've never really had a problem with that. [00:57:57] Speaker B: Yeah, Unbiblical is something that would be kind of like, to me, something someone holds like an action or a thing. And you're trying to make it, I don't know, safe, Biblically safe. I don't know where you, where you do. I'm thinking of like, you perform an act where, whether it's hosting and you do something like, oh, that's unbiblical. Like, it's not so much non biblical. You're not giving, like, you're not painting a picture. It's unbiblical in the sense of like, you know, the Bible teaches against that. [00:58:30] Speaker A: Yeah, I would say, I would say so. I've heard that the Chosen is really good on that. Of like, not like, you know, they're obviously telling stories that aren't in the Bible, but they are really good at like not being unbiblical, you know, unbiblical. [00:58:48] Speaker B: They have an app. I don't know if you're interested, but they have an app where you can watch all their episodes free. Yeah, I, I mean, just, I'm just open, you know, I'm opening the offer of salvation. [00:59:02] Speaker A: Yeah, no, I've. Everyone I've known who's seen it says it's awesome. Yeah. I just still don't know. I. I gotta look into that issue and kind of really figure out what I believe. Gun to my head, I'll say this. I think pretty clearly the second commandment is about worship and not just images in general, because it says images of fish too. So, like, either. [00:59:32] Speaker B: Well, yeah, because there was a problem of making idols of creatures and not. [00:59:38] Speaker A: Outside of the worship context. That means, like, what, we can't paint pictures of fish? Like, we can't have movies. We can't, you know, and like, I don't know, isn't Islam, like, kind of against images in general? Like, even like paintings and stuff? [00:59:56] Speaker B: Islam's against. Yeah, I don't know. I'm. Islam is so messed up. Hey, speaking of, of movies and fish, I really enjoyed really Big Fish also. It's one of my. It's one. It's up there in my top. [01:00:06] Speaker A: Okay, I've never seen that. [01:00:11] Speaker B: Basically, I'm gonna. Spoiler alert. IT guy's dad is dying and his dad's dying, and he's sitting there with his dad and he's kind of reliving his dad's telling him like, about his life, how he met his mom and stuff. And you could tell there's like a rocky relationship between these two. I think he always viewed his dad as a liar with all these stories that he told. And the movie's about the dad, the dad's life. And then at the end of the. At the end of the movie, he goes to his dad's funeral and all these freaks that his dad talked about meeting throughout his life show up. You know, like the eight foot tall dude with the, you know, the manly woman and the two headed sister and you know, like all these people that his dad spoke of that he never believed end up showing up to the funeral and he's like, holy. Like, it's crazy. [01:01:05] Speaker A: So really Big Fish is like a fish story, right? How they. They say that? They say that like you always add to how big the fish was, man. I'm figuring out all these titles now. I'm not even seeing these movies. I got them figured out just by talking. You ever seen Momento and. [01:01:26] Speaker B: Yeah, I had. I. I have seen Momento. I probably have to watch again as an adult. I watched it when it first came out. Good movie. I forgot what it's about. [01:01:35] Speaker A: And I've got a. I've got a memento tattoo. Yeah. [01:01:41] Speaker B: Do you really? Hey, real quick. It was Second Chronicles I was thinking of. Not. Not Kings. Let me see that tattoo. [01:01:49] Speaker A: It's Never Answer the Phone. [01:01:53] Speaker B: Very nice, man. I like how it's written too. It's kind of a weird spot, but that's cool. [01:02:00] Speaker A: Yeah, I didn't. I didn't know where to put it. It's on his arm in the movie. [01:02:05] Speaker B: Yeah. Great contrast though, that. The black against the pale white. Looks good. [01:02:14] Speaker A: Dick. I've been getting some sun. [01:02:16] Speaker B: Yeah, it was Second Chronicles. [01:02:17] Speaker A: Okay. [01:02:18] Speaker B: What. [01:02:18] Speaker A: What was it that we were talking about in Second Chronicles? [01:02:23] Speaker B: Everybody's. You were like, in First Kings and one of the podcasts we had mentioned, like, yeah, like, the mom's name means oppression and he died at the hands of physicians. Not, you know, kind of like, again, showing how he went to man instead of God. But it was 2nd Chronicles. I want to say it starts in 13, so when you were saying 1st Kings 13, I was like, yeah, that sounds so familiar. But it. I want to say second chronicles 12 through, like, 16 or something like that. 12 through 17. But yeah, great, great stuff when you look up the meanings of their names. But that's how I spent Sunday or Sunday breakfast, I should say. Is. Is doing that. [01:03:15] Speaker A: Are. Are you just making your way through the whole Bible? [01:03:20] Speaker B: Making my way through the Bible reading. [01:03:22] Speaker A: Fast Music Tourettes. Dude, it's back. I. I would brag. I would brag and say that I'm on Nehemiah, so I'm ahead of you. But I started mine in 2023, so it's not much of a brag. [01:03:42] Speaker B: No, I'm studying Romans right now for Tuesdays. But I was just doing that simply based on our conversation because I'm like, dude, I need to figure out if it was Second Kings. First Kings. I knew I wasn't. I knew I had to be off. And it's Second Chronicles, so. Which I do want to open up my Word. I'll probably do that this weekend. Open up my Word and. And kind of write that in my ESV Bible, you know, like, all the meanings and. And stuff like that that I did. Because it's. It's very insightful when you. When you start putting the names to it, you're like, wow, like, this dude's name means, you know, I don't know, but I know mom's name was oppression and she kept the idols around and so. [01:04:26] Speaker A: And it might be the same story in First Kings. [01:04:32] Speaker B: Yeah, it could be. Because it's Asa. Yeah, like, it's. It's. Yeah, it's a saw. [01:04:37] Speaker A: Yeah, no, I'm pretty sure that's the one I was thinking of. Speaking of great stories, great movies, the next book in my Bible reading is. [01:04:50] Speaker B: Esther and the King and I. [01:04:53] Speaker A: No, I don't know. [01:04:54] Speaker B: Or is it One Night with the King or something like that? The movie. [01:04:58] Speaker A: I've never seen a movie based on Esther, but I've always thought I should because Esther is like one of my favorite, favorite stories in the Bible. [01:05:09] Speaker B: Dude. I have to look it up. It's a movie with. It's a biblical movie. It's about. No, it's not One Night with the King. It's not the King and I too. That old ass movie. [01:05:34] Speaker A: Isn'T the King and I. [01:05:35] Speaker B: You know what? I don't know, dude. Could have been no, it's an American musical. I doubt it's Shakespeare. Well, could have been. You know what sucks? [01:05:49] Speaker A: What? [01:05:50] Speaker B: Bible movies from, like, earlier than the 80s. I've tried to watch them on my black box, and I'm like, this is horseshit. [01:06:00] Speaker A: Like, this wedding is horseshit. [01:06:04] Speaker B: Everybody is white air. Like, all the main players. [01:06:07] Speaker A: Oh, yeah. [01:06:08] Speaker B: Are like, white dude. [01:06:10] Speaker A: Yeah. Now we should bring back brown face. I like it. Isn't the Ten Commandments awesome? [01:06:18] Speaker B: With Charleston Hess? [01:06:19] Speaker A: Yeah. [01:06:22] Speaker B: Haven't seen it. [01:06:23] Speaker A: I haven't seen it since I was a little. Little kid, and my mom was just watching it, so I was kind of in and out on it. But I do rem Remember this. The scene on Mount Horeb when God writes the Ten Commandments. That was a good scene. It's like, showing the lightning and. And all the storms, and he's, like, holding the tablets up and it's writing on him with lightning. [01:06:47] Speaker B: So it is one night with the king, and it's about Hadassah. Yeah, I don't know who that is. [01:06:56] Speaker A: I think he's the king of Persia in. In Esther. [01:07:01] Speaker B: No, that's an orphan Jewish woman. [01:07:03] Speaker A: Okay. Oh, I'll go myself. That's fine. [01:07:12] Speaker B: The king is King Xerxes. [01:07:14] Speaker A: Okay. Art of Xerxes. [01:07:17] Speaker B: Yeah. And he holds a great feast for all the people to attend. An orphaned Jewish woman, Hadassah love, longs to go to Jerusalem to see the Holy Land and prepares to leave with the caravan along with her friend Jesse. They stop by the king's feast before he goes marching to war to avenge his father's death. Odessa and Jesse witness the king summoning Queen Vashti. Queen Vashti was opposed to the war, desiring King Xerxes to enhance his kingdom. Instead, she holds her own feast in protest against the war. When the king summons her to the his feast, she refuses to come, stating, I am queen and I will not lower my dignity or shame my crown by wearing it before your drunken, thinly veiled war council. He's advised to banish her and select a more worthy queen. And it's under the command of her overprotective cousin Morai. Hadassah does not reveal her nationality or family and changes her name to Esther. [01:08:22] Speaker A: Is that what it is? All right, that's all making sense. [01:08:27] Speaker B: Yeah. So it's the story of Esther, dude. And how, like, dude, it has that. That whole thing of, like, why do you kill? Like, when they went to war and they were told to kill the babies and the women and the men because they didn't kill this child. He ends up building an army and, like, has his whole life directed towards getting back at this king. And they. That guy is trying to kill off all the Jews. So, like, he's working for the king. He's like, we got to kill all the Jews. Like, all the Jews must go. And it's through Esther's acts that. It's a great movie, dude. Like, it's. It's actually well done. [01:09:05] Speaker A: Yeah, dude. It's crazy because I. I just. I don't remember names or anything, but I'm paying way more attention this time through because I'm summarizing every paragraph in my own words to try to remember things a little better. So making my way through Ezra and Nehemiah. Artaxerxes is a huge part of that story because he's like, the. Cyrus basically gives a decree to rebuild the temple, and then he dies, and another king comes who stops the construction of the temple, and then Artaxerxes is the one after him. So it's, like, a long time since Cyrus and Artaxerxes starts building the temple again. And every time someone comes and, like, tells him to make them stop building this temple, he says, nope, let him build it. You know, so he's, like, been a huge part of these stories. I had no idea that concurrently, he's the same king that's having the story with Esther. [01:10:10] Speaker B: Yeah, it's. [01:10:12] Speaker A: It's like a Tarantino movie. [01:10:16] Speaker B: I'm telling you, man, the Jews, you know, they didn't choose to be. They couldn't choose to be where they're at. You know, I mean, like, people hate the Jews throughout history, but it's because they were the ones that were just gifted with being God's oracle of his word. It's like America going around toting that we're number one. Just stop. [01:10:44] Speaker A: Right? [01:10:45] Speaker B: Yeah, just say. Say you're in the top 10. You know, everything would be fine. [01:10:51] Speaker A: I don't know if anyone's too upset with us saying we're number one. I think acting like we're number one is maybe a problem. [01:11:02] Speaker B: That's always the problem, dude. I experienced that at work. [01:11:06] Speaker A: Speaking as a number one myself. [01:11:12] Speaker B: I was talking to Stretch Marks today, and he goes, man, you know, I'm sorry, you know, because I asked him. I have a. I have a counterpart that will ask every three days the same question. You know, hey, what was this? And it'd be in the middle of, like, my deep thought of, like, trying to handle another problem. And, like, I don't. I'm Gonna have to tell him. Like, you need to write it down. Like, I'm done telling you three times. You what this company is, what this company, what our sub is. Who's this? I'm like, dude, so I had a bunch of stuff that happened yesterday, and I had to get on it this morning. So I'm like, go in. I'm working right away. And I asked Stretch Marks, I said, hey, I'm going to send you a file. Just print it out. About 45 minutes goes by and he's like, dude, it's not letting me print, like, the, it's like every time I go to print, it says, you know, you can't print this file. And I'm like, you know what, dude, forget it. I'll print it. And I'm going to do it from your computer to show you that you could do this. So I go over and with like, in 20, 30 seconds, I got all the documents printed. Dude, like, how'd you do that? You know, like, it was telling me. And I'm like, you know what? I'm sorry I asked you to print it. I'll, you know, next time I'll just save me the time to do it myself. [01:12:27] Speaker A: And next time I'll give you something you can handle. [01:12:29] Speaker B: So, yeah, go get my milk and. So what do you need milk for? My coffee. I thought you don't use creamer. I don't. Just go get some milk. [01:12:43] Speaker A: I just got to give you something to do. [01:12:47] Speaker B: So, so he comes out today and he's like, man, I'm sorry about that. Like, dude, that just kind of sucks. I'm like, dude, honestly, like, my whole life I've been around just average Joe, mediocre dudes. So, you know, like, I, I, I, I just, I get it. You know, when you're, when you're sitting on top and I'm like, this is something, bro. Like, this is totally something, Danny. Big Bright. [01:13:15] Speaker A: I'm something of an America myself. [01:13:20] Speaker B: Yeah, exactly. Which I had him watch. I had him watch Eastbound and Down with me the other day. Like, the first two episodes, I was like, dude, you gotta, you gotta understand Kenny Powers. Yeah, I understand me, bro. [01:13:32] Speaker A: Yeah. That's how I feel about Roger the alien on American Dad. I'm like, you gotta at least put on a highlight reel just to get an understanding of, like, where I'm coming from, you know? [01:13:45] Speaker B: Yeah, I can see that. I can see that. I can see. I can see a lot of you in him. Yeah, yeah. [01:13:50] Speaker A: Minus the homosexuality. But I love to play dress up. [01:13:54] Speaker B: Or not, but I love to play. [01:14:00] Speaker A: You ever seen a movie called 12 angry men? [01:14:05] Speaker B: 12 angry men? No, I have not. [01:14:08] Speaker A: It's surprisingly good. It's. It's an old black and white movie, but it's a jury that has, is deliberating on this trial and it's this young Puerto Rican kid who is alleged to have stabbed someone to death. And so they go in there and they're. Yeah, literally it's, it's like 11 to 1, they're like, oh yeah, this fucking spick obviously did it. And then like one guy stands up for him and over the course of the movie just changes everyone's mind away from it. [01:14:45] Speaker B: Is that, is that, was it like what, juror number eight or something like that? [01:14:49] Speaker A: Something like that, yeah. You're looking it up on your computer while you. I bet it. Ah, that sounds like something Henry Fonda would do. Dude, did you see the whale with Brendan Fraser. [01:15:12] Speaker B: Here? Okay, here's the thing. I want to make this comment. I want to make this comment because you're bringing up, you're bringing up a sore spot. [01:15:19] Speaker A: Oh, I can't wait to hear this. I'm so excited. [01:15:24] Speaker B: I have not seen the whale. Is that the one where he's fat? Okay, I heard it won some awards or it was acclaimed or something like that. Is it good? [01:15:32] Speaker A: It's very good. [01:15:33] Speaker B: Before I get on my rant, was it good? What's it about? [01:15:36] Speaker A: Well, so this guy, man, it has been a minute since I saw it, so I'm gonna do a piss poor job of summing up the plot, but he's basically a big fat guy. He left his family for a dude, then the dude, the dude died and now he's, he's dying and he's all alone, basically. So like he's estranged from everyone and because he left his family for a dude, he's dying alone. So it's actually kind of like Bohemian Rhapsody. It was almost like they're not really glorifying the gay lifestyle here at all. Like he lost his wife and got aids. That was the story of Bohemian Rhapsody. Ended up alone and similar one here, like, you know, he, you know, they're sympathetic toward him, but this dude fucked his life up and so he manages to get his daughter to come over and visit him a few times while he's dying and she's a piece of shit, but you know, basically he's just confronting the fact that he kind of screwed his whole life up and that it's the end and he doesn't have. [01:16:44] Speaker B: Time to make so glad I didn't waste time on that. Oh, my gosh. [01:16:48] Speaker A: Yeah. [01:16:48] Speaker B: So glad. I almost watched that. Like, they didn't give me the plot. It just looked good. I should have known it was something like Milk. [01:16:56] Speaker A: I would not put it in the category of Milk at all. [01:17:01] Speaker B: He's a gay. [01:17:03] Speaker A: Yeah, but Milk was, like, celebrating homosexuality. This, this movie, I would argue, is anti homosexuality, just for our listeners. [01:17:13] Speaker B: I have nothing against homosexual sexuality or homosexuals. Like, I think we're all born in sin, but, and I don't frown on them. I have gay friends. I don't mistreat them. I joke about them just as I would joke about white people with black friends around. There are certain people I don't like, and I won't watch their movies. Tom Cruise. Tom Cruise. Simply because he's nuts. Like, he thinks he's too highly on, he thinks too highly of himself. But there are certain people, like, Nicholas Cage will take any script you put. [01:17:53] Speaker A: In front of him. [01:17:54] Speaker B: Like, that dude has done so many movies. Like, I, he's like a Brandon Frazier to me, dude. Like, I just. Those two guys in movies, I'm like, like, you're just, you just, you know, like, you're the, you're the big name that they got to try and push this movie. And quite frankly, I don't trust you anymore because you've done so much movies. You know what I mean? Like, I, after Con Air, I couldn't get behind Nicholas Cage. [01:18:27] Speaker A: I thought Brendan Fraser, like, really disappeared for a long time and, like, this was his big comeback. [01:18:36] Speaker B: I think he did because he got tired of taking movies. I mean, let's look at some of the movies he's done. [01:18:42] Speaker A: You know what? Now that we know what we know, my, my assumption would be he said no to sucking a dick, and that's why his career, that's why his career fell off so hard. [01:18:56] Speaker B: That's possibly true, but after, like, I don't know, Encino man and Airheads, he was good in School Ties. I, I, I like the movie with honors. He's in that. I, I actually have that in my queue to watch. But, like, all of his stuff ended up being like, I don't know, Eddie Murphy, dad. Like, monkey bones and fury. Furry furry vengeance. Looney Tunes, you know, escape to whatever island. Escape from the Earth. [01:19:27] Speaker A: Journey to the center of the Earth. [01:19:30] Speaker B: There we go. Journey center. George of the Jungle. It's like that. Like, I did like him in the Mummy. [01:19:35] Speaker A: Oh, yeah. The Mummy rules, dude. [01:19:39] Speaker B: I didn't care for the Mummy Returns or any other Mummy movie after that. But I like. [01:19:44] Speaker A: I liked the second one. I didn't see the third one. [01:19:48] Speaker B: It was like National Treasure. I like Nicholas Cage in National Treasure. Yeah, I think that was Nicholas Cage. [01:19:53] Speaker A: Yeah. [01:19:55] Speaker B: But, like, let's. Let's let that one die too. Let's not make a whole series out of that. You know, it's. It's not Fast and Furious, guys. [01:20:04] Speaker A: I mean, it could be if you believe. [01:20:07] Speaker B: But I don't. [01:20:09] Speaker A: If they just sold the tickets, it would be. [01:20:14] Speaker B: Yeah, I'm just not a big fan of, like, Nicholas Cage. Like, I see Nicholas Cage in so many movies on the black box, and I'm like, not watching it, dude. It's like Sylvester Stallone. Like, what are you doing, bro? [01:20:24] Speaker A: Yeah, that's crazy. [01:20:26] Speaker B: You know? [01:20:27] Speaker A: Did you see that? You didn't see that Nicholas Cage movie where he played himself? [01:20:33] Speaker B: I have not. [01:20:34] Speaker A: Okay. He definitely gets it. Like, he gets that he's a joke. It. It kind of. It endeared me to him a little bit more seeing him play himself like that, where, like. [01:20:45] Speaker B: Is that the one where he goes and, like, kicks it with, like, some. [01:20:48] Speaker A: Royalty or something like that? Yeah. Okay. [01:20:53] Speaker B: Yeah, I think I started to watch that. [01:20:55] Speaker A: I think it's called, like, the Crushing Weight of Immeasurable Talent or something like that. Yeah, yeah. Which even the title is, like, we know what we're doing here. Like, we're all the same page. So he gets it. He's making billions of dollars. He's smarter than me. [01:21:13] Speaker B: But I heard he. He's. I wouldn't go that far. I heard he had to take all these movies because he threw away his fortune. [01:21:21] Speaker A: So he knows how to have a good time. All right. [01:21:25] Speaker B: My man. [01:21:27] Speaker A: Dude, did you know Norm MacDonald lost every cent to his name twice gambling. [01:21:38] Speaker B: Oh, I don't get the gambling thing, dude. I really don't. Like, I had a neighbor. No, I did not know that, but I had a neighbor. It was Super Bowl Sunday. I want to say February 6th, to be exact. I'm getting ready to start my new job on February 7th. I'm laying in bed, got my door, my sliding glass door open because the weather's nice in February out here. And I hear somebody out in the fucking outside yelling. And it's probably like, every couple minutes, I'm like, oh, that sucks. Like, somebody just probably. I. And it's, mind you, super bowl ended at 8:30. It's now 10:30. So I'm here, and I'm like, okay, maybe someone's wife was getting a little out of lip or something like that, you know, like, okay. And again, it's. And I'm like, okay. It goes on for about 20 minutes. So I finally am like, I'm gonna go out there. How can I address this without being confrontational? Because I want to go out there and say, shut the up. Like, you know that you live in an apartment. Why are you outside yelling? You know what I mean? Like, let's think. So instead I go out and I'm like, hey, you okay, dude? Whoever that is. Like, you. You good? You need something, bro? And then like, my neighbor from downstairs pops his head over and he's like, sorry, dude. I'm like, it's all right, dude. Like, I'm going back to bed now. Yeah, I just lost 4,000 on. On the Super Bowl. [01:23:06] Speaker A: Oh, yeah. [01:23:08] Speaker B: First of all, bro, you're in an apartment. Why are you spending 4,000? You ain't got it. Yeah, you're in an apartment. You live in an apartment. [01:23:20] Speaker A: Is that. [01:23:20] Speaker B: You live in an apartment. You don't spend more than 500 on beds. [01:23:24] Speaker A: Yeah. [01:23:27] Speaker B: Stay in your fucking lane, bro. Trying to buy a house. [01:23:31] Speaker A: Now, I'm not super familiar with the market that you live in. Is that like two months of rent or like one month of. [01:23:42] Speaker B: It's like, it's about two months of rent. It's. I pay 2500 for three bedroom, 1700. And then I have a garage, too. So it's. It's about. I paid 25. [01:23:58] Speaker A: Okay. Yeah. So. [01:24:00] Speaker B: And he. He has the same setup. Three bedrooms, 1700 square feet, not including the garage. And he also has a garage, so he's probably paying 2500. [01:24:10] Speaker A: Yeah. [01:24:10] Speaker B: So why you outspinning roughly two months of rent on a bet? [01:24:16] Speaker A: Who that is? [01:24:20] Speaker B: So after asking him, I came in and, you know, giggled for a little bit. And then he just. You just hear him downstairs, like, muffled, like, all night, Dude. [01:24:36] Speaker A: That's what it was like growing up in my house, just by the way. [01:24:39] Speaker B: But this dude, like, he gambles all the time. Like, there's no seeing him where he's not checking his phone for, oh, the over unders. And. And I'm just like, I don't get it. Like, I get it. It's fun to gamble and hope she. But, like, I've never been the type that's like, well, if I don't have. If I can't lose it, I'm not betting it. Yeah, if I can't afford to lose it, I'm not betting it. [01:25:05] Speaker A: Yeah. In Norm MacDonald's biography, he talked about his gambling addiction and he said, it's not really an addiction to gambling. It's an addiction to hope. Because, like, as long as the dice are in the air and they haven't fallen yet, or the. The ball is spinning and it hasn't gone into one of the little numbers, you're so full of hope. Anything is possible until you lose. And that's what gambling addicts are chasing. [01:25:38] Speaker B: So I went out with B one night. [01:25:42] Speaker A: Big B. Yeah. [01:25:45] Speaker B: And let me. Let me do the math real quick before I tell you how much I lost. And we were playing roulette. I like roulette. And I had won up to $700. And so I was like, cool. I'm just playing my. My routine, you know, split the lines on these six numbers. I stay with the six. Same six, six numbers. Gives me 12. Put the line on these 12 numbers. He comes up, put it says, put it all on 32. Mind you, he gave me the night he started off the night, he gave me a couple hundred to gamble with. Said, put it all on 32. Like, no, no, no, no or no? He takes all my coins and puts them on 30. I'm like, whoa, whoa, what are you doing? And he goes. He goes, leave him. I said, no, no, no, no. Mind you, I should have left him, because I know if I would have lost him, he would have reimbursed me. Yeah. But I moved them, and it landed on that number. I walked away from 22 and a half thousand. 22, 400. I know, I know. Oh, everybody saw it. Everybody saw it at the table. And I was like, no. And I pulled them back before the ball stopped. And the ball stopped. And I was like, what's the next number, dude? What else you feeling? [01:27:08] Speaker A: You know, it's like, why did he pick that number? [01:27:13] Speaker B: Don't know. He just. He just grabbed all my stuff and put it on that. [01:27:15] Speaker A: The holy spirit. Oh, my gosh. Dude. [01:27:22] Speaker B: Yeah. Yeah. Bad night. Bad night. [01:27:26] Speaker A: Well, I mean, that. That's the thing. That's the trick of gambling. You feel like you lost $22,000 just then, but you didn't. You were still up, but it still felt like you lost it. Isn't that crazy? That is the fomo. [01:27:42] Speaker B: They don't talk about that part. They talk about the hope when the dice is in the air. [01:27:45] Speaker A: Yeah. [01:27:46] Speaker B: They don't talk about what you feel like you lost when you doubt yourself, you know? [01:27:52] Speaker A: It was a beautiful passage. When he talked about that, it kind of made me get it, but it was also very sad. [01:28:00] Speaker B: It's. It's sad because it's short lived. I mean, the dice are on the air for a couple seconds. That ball's only spinning for a couple seconds. Yeah, if that's the hope you have. I mean, that's the, that's the shitty part about it. [01:28:11] Speaker A: Yeah. [01:28:11] Speaker B: But you know, I see people dictate their, their whole evenings off of gambling and it's like, it's crazy, man. It's crazy. Question for you, somebody posed to me. You're probably not even gonna know how to answer this. You're probably not even into these kind of movies. I don't know why I'm asking. [01:28:36] Speaker A: Okay, well, favorite man got nothing. [01:28:41] Speaker B: You'll get it though. You'll get it once, once I ask, you're gonna get it. [01:28:45] Speaker A: Okay. [01:28:46] Speaker B: What's your, who's, who's your Spider Man? [01:28:50] Speaker A: Who is my Spider Man? [01:28:53] Speaker B: Yeah, Is it Andrew Garfield? Oh, is it that, Is it the new kid? I don't know the new kid's name. Or is it, who's that? [01:29:01] Speaker A: Toby McGuire? [01:29:02] Speaker B: That guy? Dude, Toby Maguire. [01:29:06] Speaker A: I'm gonna, I'm gonna throw a monkey wrench in, in here and say I'll go with Michael Morales from the animated one. Oh, just kidding. Never seen it. But I have heard it's great. I, I'm a toss up between Toby Maguire and Tom Holland. I, I grew up with Toby McGuire. Like the second one came out when I was like 10, so I mean, that was like perfect timing for me to enjoy. But then Tom Holland, I feel like, is a much better Spider man in general because he's like closer to the age of Spider man and he's like a better like, nerdy kid. Kid like Spider man was supposed to be, you know, so. [01:29:52] Speaker B: My answer exactly. [01:29:53] Speaker A: Yeah. [01:29:54] Speaker B: I said Toby Maguire because he was the first Spider man movie that was like legit. I said, but then In Spider Man 3, you got that gay Toby walking down the street just pointing at chicks and you know, thinking he's cool. You got that gay scene. I said, but Tom Holland again, is more like the comic book Spider Man. Yeah, you know, like he. And you can't beat an ant like Marissa. To me, I mean, I know, my gosh, that's, that's one regret that I never pursued her at 50. [01:30:26] Speaker A: I mean, isn't she like 50 in those movies? [01:30:29] Speaker B: Yes, dude. [01:30:30] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah. Yep. [01:30:33] Speaker B: Yeah, I, I'm, I, I still to this day will watch my Cousin Vinny. Like, I love. She makes the movie. Dude with the accent and all, like, sign me up. [01:30:46] Speaker A: Never seen it. [01:30:47] Speaker B: Where do I get one of those. [01:30:49] Speaker A: Is that why you love Italian chicks? [01:30:53] Speaker B: Yeah, that's exactly why I love Italian chicks. It's exactly why I love Italian chicks. What was your thought on. There's three movies that I thought were kind of. There's a, there's actually a lot. Did you like Uncle Buck? [01:31:14] Speaker A: I don't think I've ever seen the full thing, but the parts I've seen were pretty funny. I, I remember the scene when he's trying to intimidate the boyfriend and he's got a hatchet. He's like, ah, you know, we'll just take a little skin off the old kneecap. There were some pretty funny scenes in that movie. [01:31:35] Speaker B: I watched that. I watched that probably a couple months ago. I, I, I enjoy it still. I still enjoy it. I think Macaulay Culkin's little brother is a better actor than him. [01:31:45] Speaker A: Yeah. Yeah. Is he the one that's, like, still doing a lot of stuff today? [01:31:51] Speaker B: Yeah, he's in Secession. [01:31:53] Speaker A: Okay. [01:31:55] Speaker B: Succession that. I think it's hbo. But he's in that. Great act, great actor in that. What do you think about Funny Farm? I thought Funny Farm was great growing up. I don't know if I necessarily, outside of, like, eating cow balls. Like, he's thinking these meatballs are, like, legit. And he's breaking the record. And it's like 56. And he's like, give me some more. And he's like, what are these things? And they're like, they're cow balls. And he just, you know, can't handle it after that. [01:32:25] Speaker A: But I don't think I ever thought was a great movie, watched it. I remember us renting it from Blockbuster, and I remember starting it, and I don't think it got me, so I didn't finish it. But I loved Chevy Chase, dude, Chevy Chase is a jag off. And I'm realizing that really late in life. I watched that movie Saturday night that just came out that was all about the first episode of Saturday Night Live. [01:32:54] Speaker B: Okay. [01:32:54] Speaker A: And the guy, the guy who played him is a really good actor. And he looked a crazy amount like Chevy Chase in the movie. But the beginning, the first time you see Chevy Chase in this movie, he falls over. Like, it's not. You don't see him walk in, but then he falls over and he knocks the trash can over and he falls on the floor and he stands up and he goes, oh, sorry, I tripped on my penis. It's like, yeah, that's the kind of that Chevy Chase was just making a scene and just being a Jerk off about everything, dude. [01:33:35] Speaker B: Yeah, Chevy Chase. I did have my family watch National Lampoon's Christmas this last Christmas. [01:33:41] Speaker A: Yeah, that's a good. [01:33:44] Speaker B: He's funnier than I, than I appreciated growing up. [01:33:48] Speaker A: Yeah, he's definitely funny. Way funnier in movies. But I've heard from. I mean, everyone says in, in real life, he's just the biggest asshole you'd ever want to meet. [01:34:00] Speaker B: Really? [01:34:01] Speaker A: Oh, yeah. I mean, I think even like, Bill Murray and like, some of his friends have sold him out. Like, no, no one's sticking up for this dude. [01:34:09] Speaker B: That's where I was going next. I love what About Bob, but I think Bill Murray in real life, if you don't know him and you're a fan, I think Bill Murray is a. I, from what I've seen, he's, he's an. [01:34:23] Speaker A: Yeah, I get the impression that he's pretty aloof. People will book him for movies and, like, he won't be in contact with them. And it's like the day they're supposed to start shooting and they still don't know if he's showing up. You know, stuff like that. But for his inner circle, like people who know him well, I mean, like Sofia Coppola and people like that have nothing but good things to say about him. And Wes Anderson obviously uses him in like every movie, so clearly he's like, cool with some people. But yeah, he's a little bit aloof from what it looks like. But what About Bob is such a great movie. We just saw that like a year ago and I hadn't seen. [01:35:04] Speaker B: I like all, I think I like all Chevy Chase movies so far. Like, what About Bob? What's that? What's that? Groundhog Day. [01:35:13] Speaker A: Yeah, Yeah. I can't, I can't remember what the thing was from what About Bob that just had us rolling. Oh, yeah, it's when he's trying to. He's trying to get the therapist to let him come to his house and he's like, come on, I need. I need. It's so friggin funny. [01:35:46] Speaker B: Yeah, I. What I cannot get behind what I cannot get behind in Groundhog Day is a perfect example of this is this sounds so vain. Someone like him getting the girl. You know what I mean? [01:36:03] Speaker A: Yeah, but look what he had to go through to get that girl. [01:36:10] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah. True, true. [01:36:14] Speaker A: How do you feel about the Big Lebowski? [01:36:18] Speaker B: Okay, I, I, I, I. I'm glad you brought that up. Thought it was a entertaining movie. [01:36:26] Speaker A: Okay. [01:36:29] Speaker B: I'm not behind it. Like, the cult following is okay. I'm not like, you know, I'm not. I'm not all about the Dude, I guess. I. I thought it was. I don't see. I thought it was a good movie. I don't see the following. That's probably the best way to put it. I don't see the cult classic behind it, if you will, if you gave me. Called a cult classic, but I don't see it being classic. [01:36:55] Speaker A: I would definitely call it a cult classic. Yeah. [01:36:57] Speaker B: Okay. I wasn't sure if it fit in that. That phase, but I know a lot of people quote it. A lot of, like, there's a lot of memes. There's a lot of. I just. I don't know, Dude. I don't. And I'm not. No pun on the dude, but I don't know. What are your thoughts on it? Give me some great insight. [01:37:17] Speaker A: I love it. I almost put it in my top five, and I might, actually. I might. I might swap out Hereditary and put in the Big Lebowski. [01:37:27] Speaker B: Why? What about it? [01:37:30] Speaker A: It's. It's hard to put into words. It's kind of just everything I would want in a movie. Like, it's kind of a western, and it's kind of a noir, and it's a comedy, and it's, you know, got really great cinematography and. Yeah. I mean, it's just hilarious. Yeah, it's. It's just good. [01:37:57] Speaker B: I'll have to give it another shot, man. I'll have to give it another shot. I was not too nuts about it. [01:38:03] Speaker A: Yeah. I showed my dad. And, like, I'm laughing the whole time, and halfway through, my dad's just, like, I'm failing to see the genius. And it's like. Yeah, it's just a certain kind of humor. It's like they're. They're having an argument in a theater about, like, going to see this guy about money. And, like, they also want to go to In N Out, and they're arguing about, like, whether they're going to go to In N Out before or after they go see this guy. So then they go and see the guy, and they have this big confrontation, and he ends up smashing out his windshield. And then it just cuts to them driving with no windshield with the wind just blowing in their faces, and they've got in and out cups in their hands. And it's like, if that's just not funny to you, then just. It's just not your movie. You know, it's like they never. They never bring attention to the fact that they got in and out after this horrific thing happened to them, you know. [01:39:01] Speaker B: Maybe it's not my movie. [01:39:03] Speaker A: Yeah, probably not. [01:39:07] Speaker B: All right, so if. If we got one night left. One night left. We know. We know. Tomorrow, all entertainment purposes is done. Into the world might still be here, but we ain't watching another movie for the rest of our lives. What are we putting on? [01:39:38] Speaker A: It'd be tough for me to not go with the Departed. [01:39:44] Speaker B: Really? [01:39:45] Speaker A: Yeah. I'm just thinking because, like, of all the movies that I've watched, more than. Because that's what you want to watch for your last movie is you want to watch, like, a comfort movie that you've seen a lot of times. Right. You don't want to, like, roll the dice on something you've never seen. And I've seen that movie well over a hundred times, and I always want to watch it still. It's still. It's just never a movie I don't want to watch. [01:40:15] Speaker B: I thought it was a good movie. Break it down to me. Why it's your favorite, though. Like, honestly? Because, like, I thought it was a good movie, but I didn't think it was, like, any more special than any other crime. Crime thriller, if you will. [01:40:32] Speaker A: Yeah, I think a lot has to do with the age that I saw it. I was 13 the first time I saw it. So, like, I had never seen a Scorsese movie or anything of that caliber. It was, like, the first really good movie I saw besides Jurassic Park. It was, I mean, obviously great cast, but just, like, the idea that, like, there's a bad guy undercover and a good guy undercover, and they're searching for each other, and nobody else knows who they are, and they're based on the boss. On what I'm trying. I know you're looking up facts that try to pretend like you know them, so I'm trying to beat you to the punch. No, yeah, it is. It is loosely. Loosely based on Whitey Bul. Bulger, but the moment. [01:41:28] Speaker B: Is that the FBI agent, John Connolly. [01:41:32] Speaker A: No, Whitey Bulger is the gangster that he was working with and. [01:41:37] Speaker B: Oh, yep, got it. [01:41:39] Speaker A: And freaking Johnny Depp plays. [01:41:42] Speaker B: Should have kept reading. [01:41:44] Speaker A: Johnny Depp plays him in. In Black Mass. And that was a really good movie, too. But the. The whole idea was that, like, there had never really been, like, an FBI informant like that before. So basically, there weren't rules to how this worked. So he just used his position as an FBI informant to kill and steal and do all sorts of terrible things. And as long as he had someone that he could hand over to the FBI, they would just let him keep doing it. So that's kind of what's going on with Jack Nicholson's character and the, the moment. So Leonardo DiCaprio is undercover. He's a cop undercover with Jack Nicholson's gang. And the moment that he finds out, he's, he's. He shoots a guy in the leg trying to get information out of him. And he goes like, like, please, like, I can't tell you. Like, the, the feds will be all over me. Like, he'll, he'll give me up to the FBI. And then Leonardo DiCaprio just looks at him and he's like, what do you mean? And he's like, he's a fucking FBI informant. He's gonna, he's gonna. And like, the moment he realizes, oh, I'm undercover with an FBI ring, like, like, I'm doomed. I'm not gonna make it out of this. It's just such a great moment. And. [01:43:13] Speaker B: I did see Black Mass. I did like Johnny Depp in that. [01:43:16] Speaker A: Yeah. It's not as good because it's just not as fast paced of a movie as, as the Departed, but it, it's very good. And I actually read the book before he was caught, so that was, that was interesting too. [01:43:31] Speaker B: Dude, when did he get caught? When did all this take place? He. [01:43:35] Speaker A: So he, he went on the run in like the seventies. He got caught. [01:43:42] Speaker B: When were you born? [01:43:44] Speaker A: When was I born? Yeah. 90, 93. [01:43:50] Speaker B: Damn. This dude was on a run for a while. Because you probably didn't read till what, two, 2000s? [01:43:56] Speaker A: You know, I, I read it when I was like 22. Maybe. Maybe it was like 20. [01:44:04] Speaker B: So Whitey Bulger, is that the guy we're talking about? Yeah, was on the run from the 70s to the 2000s, maybe the 80s. [01:44:14] Speaker A: But yeah, I mean, I think he was caught in like 2013 or something. They caught him in Santa Monica. He was, he was living in Santa Monica for well over a decade under an assumed identity with his girlfriend. But. So the book ends with this guy's still at large. We don't know if he's alive or dead. We never found him. And then the movie of the same title ends with him getting caught in Santa Monica. So it's the same story, but a totally different ending. [01:44:46] Speaker B: What's the movie? [01:44:47] Speaker A: Black Mass. Oh, okay, that one when Whitey Bulger caught. Oh, he died. He died in 2018. He was caught in 2011. Okay, so I was off by a bit, so I must have read that book. Shit. I mean, it must have been 2010 or 2011 when I read that book. [01:45:19] Speaker B: Yeah, that's crazy. [01:45:21] Speaker A: I also read the book about the Golden State Killer, like, two weeks before he was caught. [01:45:31] Speaker B: And that's that cop, right? [01:45:33] Speaker A: Yeah. And they did a phenomenal job of profiling this guy, dude. Like, they figured out he was a cop. [01:45:41] Speaker B: Yes. [01:45:42] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah, but. But, like, not. Not the cops. The true crime writer who died while she was writing the book, so she never saw how it all turned out. They. They released the book posthumously. She figured out he or some people thought he was a cop because one time one of his victims escaped and he yelled freeze instead of stop. Which, like, only a cop would yell freeze. So, like, she had a whole theory about him being a cop, and, like, most didn't really buy into it, but she was really big on that. And then sure enough, turns out he was a cop. [01:46:20] Speaker B: I'm not going to lie, dude. I think if I ever take on that lifestyle of killing, I'm going to do some cop. Like, I'm going to yell freeze. You know what I mean? [01:46:34] Speaker A: Like, okay, all right. [01:46:36] Speaker B: I'm going to yell freeze. And probably throw out some codes that mean nothing. They be like, yeah, he said 1032. I'm really sure he said, I'm pulling a 1032 on his ass. You know what I mean? [01:46:47] Speaker A: The cop and the cops are like, that's not anything. That doesn't mean anything. [01:46:53] Speaker B: Hold on. [01:46:54] Speaker A: Just throw him off the. [01:46:55] Speaker B: I was. I was a security guard. He was doing. [01:46:59] Speaker A: He was doing Navy SEAL signals. I'm pretty sure this guy's a Navy seal. [01:47:07] Speaker B: When he wanted me to move, he kept saying, like. Like, he kept hand motioning for me to move and for me to walk. [01:47:17] Speaker A: Have you seen. Have you seen Saving Silverman? [01:47:21] Speaker B: I loved Saving Silverman, dude. [01:47:23] Speaker A: That was my first old school freaking movies. Oh, dude, I only know the Navy SEAL signals. [01:47:32] Speaker B: But, dude, when you get the nachos stuck together, that's one notch. [01:47:36] Speaker A: One notch. Dude, that's crazy how much a part of, like, the zeitgeist that quote is, and no one even knows what that's from. [01:47:45] Speaker B: Yeah, that. Or, like, when you do something like. It's a lug nut. [01:47:50] Speaker A: Yes, yes. Yep, it's the lug nut, all right. Take a seat. Take a seat. He's brush. He's brushing crumbs off the cushion. He's like, take my seat. Take my. See, when. When he answers the door, he's like, a beer bog for the lady. [01:48:11] Speaker B: Dude, I loved that movie, bro. [01:48:15] Speaker A: Dude, we had that on vhs. I thought his ass looked tighter. [01:48:23] Speaker B: Yeah, I'm going to use 101 and 102. That's bathroom. [01:48:27] Speaker A: What does that mean? [01:48:27] Speaker B: You know what I mean. That's bathroom break. One short bathroom break and 102 is longer bathroom break. [01:48:34] Speaker A: All right, I get you. I get you. You should just start throwing these out in your daily life and just let people believe that you might be an ex cop. [01:48:44] Speaker B: We are doing a crane lift on next Friday. Not this Friday. Next Friday. And we ordered hand radios to. To communicate from the roof to the. The ground. So bet your sweet ass. 104. Like, dude, you don't have to do the. It does it on its own. 104. [01:49:07] Speaker A: Okay. Sorry. Okay. That was the last time. [01:49:11] Speaker B: What? What movie was that? [01:49:14] Speaker A: Saving Silverman it. Can we go to Chubby Burger after this? Yeah, we can go to Chubby Burger after this. I'm gonna get a Chubby Checker with extra cheese. We'll talk about it later. [01:49:35] Speaker B: I'm not gonna lie. [01:49:36] Speaker A: I see something in the back of the refrigerator in the back of the closet. I'm gonna go check it out. [01:49:46] Speaker B: I'm not gonna lie. I hated Amanda Pete as an actress ever since that movie. [01:49:52] Speaker A: It's tough. [01:49:53] Speaker B: She played such. Yeah, she played such a good in that movie. Like, I would not watch her in other movies. I was like, I don't like her as an actress. [01:50:00] Speaker A: I think to this day I've only seen her in, like, one other thing. And it was recently, and it was like, weird to see her just be a normal person. Like, I've only ever seen her in that role. [01:50:15] Speaker B: Yeah, she played in a couple other movies and when she did, I wouldn't watch them because I was like, I don't like her. Like, she's a bitch. Like, I didn't like her as a person because of Saving Silverman. I can't wait till you get your Internet fixed. [01:50:35] Speaker A: Stop that a fix? Dude, I'm running like 600 megabytes. [01:50:38] Speaker B: I don't know, dude, I checked mine. I'm at 2,000. I checked. I checked mine before I got on. Dude. [01:50:47] Speaker A: While you were paying for one. [01:50:49] Speaker B: Gig, while you're trying to chloroform the life, I was checking my Internet. [01:50:56] Speaker A: I'm running. I'm running like 100. That 180. It should still be good enough for a video chat, but it's not. I think it's my computer. I think it's my computer. Because no other device in the house has problems. Why don't you run off your phone cameras? Yeah. [01:51:22] Speaker B: Yeah, actually I'm videoing this through the phone and then my computer's freed up for, you know, research purpose. And then I got. [01:51:30] Speaker A: See, because I could. I could still record on the computer and just video on my phone. Yeah, that would actually work. Yeah, my phone's not great either, but it's probably way better, so. [01:51:42] Speaker B: Oh, I'll try that. That Nokia. Nokia 500. [01:51:48] Speaker A: It's not much better. It's. I believe it is the cheapest Android on the market. I think it's an A32. Think is what it is. Samsung A32. [01:52:00] Speaker B: I'm sorry, dude. I gave my daughter my last. When. You know what? When I get a new phone, cuz I take care of my phones. I'll. I'll. I'll throw you this one, dude. [01:52:09] Speaker A: All right, cuz I appreciate that. [01:52:11] Speaker B: You got to. You got to step up, bro. [01:52:14] Speaker A: Okay, but you can't delete any pictures before you give it to me. [01:52:19] Speaker B: You'll be so disappointed. Yeah, it's on my old phone. Old Big countries on that one. [01:52:25] Speaker A: And honestly, like, no, no, no, no. I'm. I'm talking about this specimen right before me. I'm not. I'm not talking about big country. Hey, hey. [01:52:36] Speaker B: I'm trying to think in my. [01:52:37] Speaker A: I'm trying to stay friends. Trying to stay friends right now. [01:52:42] Speaker B: I'm not the guy that takes my camera in the room and it's like, let's make some videos. I only did that with Big Country. [01:52:50] Speaker A: You thought you got to get. Son of a. You sick son of a. [01:52:56] Speaker B: Why? [01:52:58] Speaker A: I wouldn't make a joke about your ex wife like that. [01:53:01] Speaker B: I wish you would. [01:53:04] Speaker A: I mean, my wife might still hear this podcast one day, so I probably should. [01:53:11] Speaker B: I mean, there's other reasons, but, you know, I'm gonna say, I would never do that to you, man. [01:53:21] Speaker A: No, I made one joke one time and I think. I think, yeah, she. She reacted so poorly to it that I think I told you right after. I was like, back me up. This is hilarious. Right? It was at rbc and we snuck off to. To have a cigarette because there was some kind of like potluck or something going on in the courtyard. So we just went like around to the other side. [01:53:45] Speaker B: Did your wife attend rbc? No. Oh, okay, okay. [01:53:50] Speaker A: And. And she was like, yeah, you know, Wyatt, I forgot your name. Wyatt is. Is, you know, like, he's. You're on the safe list. Like, he's cool if we go have a cigarette. You know, he's not, you know, weird about that. And. And then I. We were Talking about how, like, we were hiding the cigarettes from, like, all the legalists out in the courtyard. I was like, yeah. I mean, they're probably thinking we're making out or something, and I'm making fun of the church people. Like, that's the whole joke. And she just shut down. Like. Like, I whipped my dick out at her. Something like. She did not laugh. She was, like, very uncomfortable. I think I told you right afterwards. Ed was like, come on. I mean, that was really funny, right, dude? And then after that, I was like, I'm never making a joke like that again. That was terrible. Tough crowd. [01:54:42] Speaker B: I had a subcontractor who was working with us, like, at this surf park, and his wife came out for a couple. Like, she started coming out, like, regularly and assisting him. And I had to take her around in the little, like, razor, like, the go kart, you know, the dirt razor. And it was a big site. And I'm like, oh. I was like. She goes, oh, she got excited for being in the razor. And I was like, oh. I said, yeah, that. You know, you're probably not used to sitting next to somebody young like this, you know, like, just making a joke. Like, you know, like, the fact that you're not only in a razor, but, you know, you're next to me, you know? And she giggled, and I told her husband about this joke literally in front of other people. Like, my co worker was there, and I was like, oh, yeah, I made the joke to your wife, xyz, you know, like, oh, that you're sitting next to. You know. I was like, oh. She goes. She says something like, oh, this is fun to be on. And I said, what are you talking about, the razor or me? You know? And, yeah, and so I told him that joke. I was like, yeah, I made this joke. I was like, you know, she's a good person. Like, you know, I didn't mean nothing by whatever. Fast forward, like a month. He comes to my work, and he's like. He's like, you know what you. He starts, like, giving me attitude. I'm like, what's going on, dude? Like, you cool today? He's like, you know what you said? And I'm like, what are you talking about? And, like, apparently he's ex Navy seal, so he's like, you step off that porch because it's a porch to my trailer. And. And, you know, you're. You're done, dude. I'll handle you. And I'm like, dude, again, not sure what you're talking about. And he's Going off. And I go, I told you about that joke the day it happened. And he was like. I go, if you're referring to that joke, told you about the joke today. It happened in front of Mike. And Mike's like, yeah, he did tell you. And he was like, you know what you said, get the. And I'm like, dude, you're tripping. Mind you, he's like five something. I don't even know if he was a real Navy Seal, but I was like, oh my gosh. I'm like, dude, honestly, like, dude never liked me ever since he left. And then shortly after that, his wife died of an overdose and he got full. [01:56:44] Speaker A: That wife that you made the joke about? [01:56:47] Speaker B: Yeah, he left for like a month. She had a pill popping problem. He left for like a month for work, came back, she died. She was dead when he got back. Had to bury her. He had full blown body cancer. Ended up going to like, I don't know, Jamaica for some cure or something like that. Doing some treatment down there. Came back, just doing shitty moral story. You don't. With greatness. [01:57:21] Speaker A: Kurt. Kurt Metzger, he's a great comedian. And I can't remember if this was a bit or something he said on a podcast, but he was basically saying, like, he pointed at someone on the TV and like to his girlfriend, he was like, them, I hope they get cancer. And she goes, well, how are you gonna feel now if they actually have cancer? And he's like, I'm going to feel like you should respect me a little bit more with my cancer powers. It's like every time I've made a joke about like some road rager, like getting in a car accident, like a fatal accident in front of me and my wife says something about it, it's like, no, no, no, no, I meant what I said. Like if I saw them crash right now, the world would be a better place. [01:58:13] Speaker B: Like, I'm not gonna lie. I. I cannot help but look at celebrities and think, should I add them to my celebrity death list? [01:58:26] Speaker A: Yes. [01:58:26] Speaker B: Yeah, that's. That's a real thing. And I kind of wanted an update on that. Did we talk about maybe a dollar amount? [01:58:36] Speaker A: Not till the first of the year. Just because we're already in it and no one agreed to buy in this year, but we could do it next year. [01:58:45] Speaker B: Mind you, I called your dad today and because he said, yeah, we need to catch up. And he didn't answer, so it's kind of disappointing. Wow. Right? Wow. Kind of what I said, dude. I was kind of like, okay, bro. Like, I. I put myself out there, you know, and I get voicemail. It's not even your voicemail. It's like some fucking generic, like, you know, you've reached, you know, whatever. I'm going to put his phone number out there. So people call. [01:59:16] Speaker A: He. [01:59:17] Speaker B: He's about to get 10 calls in the next week. Yeah. From all our listeners. [01:59:22] Speaker A: 100. 100% call rate. He. He talks about you all the time. He talks about how much he misses you. [01:59:32] Speaker B: Dude, I had such great times with your dad, like, when we would go to his, like, I don't know, AA meetings or whatever they were. Yeah, dude, good. Good times. Dude. Dude is hilarious. I see where you get it from. [01:59:45] Speaker A: Yeah. All right, this has been pseudonyms. Goodbye, everyone.
