Speaker 1 (00:00):
A parked car in Malibu after losing consciousness while driving
down the Pacific Coast Highway.

Speaker 2 (00:07):
How old is he seventy six?

Speaker 3 (00:09):
Yeah, you know, time to start monitoring him. I mean,
maybe give him less of a killing vehicle. It's like
once you start passing out on the wheel, shouldn't be
able to drive a Lincoln Navigator.

Speaker 4 (00:21):
You should have to drive like a big blow up car.

Speaker 1 (00:24):
Yeah, I'm surprised Jeene Simmons doesn't have a driver.

Speaker 2 (00:27):
Seems like a guy that would be like Ace.

Speaker 4 (00:30):
Yeah, yeah, well.

Speaker 1 (00:33):
Drive me anywhere ISRAELI probably has to like drink cough
syrup just to start the car.

Speaker 4 (00:42):
He's got to I just have to blow in this first.

Speaker 2 (00:44):
Gee, that's what Ace Railey's horn sounds like. It's just
him laughing and.

Speaker 4 (00:52):
Randy Bellman and the DV Morning show.

Speaker 3 (00:55):
On the way for you, uh chunk. While you're reviewing Tron,
I didn't there was another tron. They can't they can't
stop trying the tron. Roofman, the Channing Tatum thing. Where
is that my friends from MHI roofing? Yeah, roofman.

Speaker 4 (01:11):
Uh.

Speaker 3 (01:11):
And also we'll have Patrick Burds from the Dormont Street
Music festival, which is Saturday. Abbey's bands one of the
headliners at that. It's a kick ass music festival. It's
pretty stacked.

Speaker 1 (01:21):
It's going to be one to eight pm on Potomac Avenue,
but other bands will be Rocket Love's, Blue Broom's going
to be there, Jeff Taylor, who is incredible. Hawkeyes are
coming out of retirement. Hot guys, all it's only hot guys.

Speaker 5 (01:38):
Yeah, the hot guys. There's one thing you say about Dormont. Wow, guys, dude,
Potomac's coming up. Oh yeah, I mean you see what
they're doing with the Hollywood Theater there.

Speaker 4 (01:47):
I was at an early visit. It's going to be phenomenal.
It's amazing. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:51):
You got Moonlight there, you got the Domino Pizza there,
you got Fredo's Deli there. It's just I mean, Dormont's
just it's never looked better, especially Potomac there that little
strip on pot Toba.

Speaker 4 (02:04):
Yeah, sure, amazing. Okay, what do you got coming up?

Speaker 1 (02:07):
We'll use This hour is brought to you by Window Nation.
Pleasant today, plenty of sunshine. It's going to be a
high of sixty seven, pretty much a repeat on Saturday.

Speaker 2 (02:16):
But then for Steelers Sunday.

Speaker 1 (02:18):
It does sound like we've got a chance of showers,
so if you're going to the game, probably want to
bring a rain jacket.

Speaker 2 (02:25):
And that's going to be a high of sixty six.

Speaker 6 (02:27):
All right.

Speaker 1 (02:27):
So, over the past two weeks, approximately two thousand small
ducks have been found around Cannonsburg. That started on September
twenty ninth. Then it was followed by two thousand medium
ducks on October the second, and then six hundred large
ducks on October the sixth.

Speaker 5 (02:45):
Mean you mean rubber ducks. I was thinking of Alfred
Hitchcock at first.

Speaker 4 (02:50):
This show. Yeah, that's were swarming.

Speaker 1 (02:53):
Yeah, OK, we now know who is behind the serial ducking,
and that was Grandpa Joe's Can Shop. So on Thursday,
the shop brought a grand finale with a ten, well
actually ten fourteen foot tall ducks on the rooftops of
all these downtown businesses in Cannonsburg. And they just said

(03:13):
that it was just because they love a good surprise
and that they thought it would bring joy to a
lot of people. But as these ducks were popping up,
people started to say that it was actually a source
of joy and it was kind of like brightening the
day and they thought it was really fun.

Speaker 3 (03:28):
Do you, either of you guys know why all the
jeep owners have ducks on their windshields?

Speaker 5 (03:33):
No, And Mary Beth has a jeep with ducks on
it and she doesn't know. She just got the jeep
and people said, oh, you got to get ducks.

Speaker 1 (03:42):
I saw a story on like a CBS Mornings thing,
and the takeaway from that story was that no one
knows why they do the ducks. Somebody started doing it
and they just started, but they laid off.

Speaker 4 (03:59):
If they see other jeep drivers, they trade ducks and
stuff like.

Speaker 5 (04:04):
I haven't seen that happen, but they're all waving. They're
all like driving by, Hey, look at your ducks, Look
at my we look at the we did the duck thing.

Speaker 4 (04:12):
Everant, look, we're cheap people, we do the duck. On
the one hand, I have no idea.

Speaker 5 (04:17):
On the other hand, in this day and age, if
that's fine joy where you can stick a duck on
your car?

Speaker 3 (04:24):
Sure, yeah, it'll come to signify something in the resistance, eventually,
a sum like freedom. The hobo cards on fence posts,
which ducks are on your jeep exactly indicates what you're
willing to do for them.

Speaker 2 (04:38):
Yeah, they're like pineapples.

Speaker 4 (04:39):
Basically, I'm no freedom fighter. I just want to get laid.

Speaker 3 (04:44):
My dad used to have the Hat Museum on the
back of his car back in the day. You know,
do you guys remember that it was a thing where
people would put like a bunch of different baseball caps
signified the breadth of your personality. I guess I don't know,
because it would be like, you know, who farted, you know,
Boston Red Sox. Yeah, like it would be a bunch

(05:07):
of different hats, right, you know, Norfolk, Virginia, US Navy.

Speaker 4 (05:12):
Things like that.

Speaker 5 (05:13):
I wanted to stack, like really tightly folded jens, like
at the department store on there, just to confront people
with the hats, like you got clothes, I got closed
if we all I thought that was where we put clothes.

Speaker 4 (05:25):
Now, socks, I have socks. Those are decorative, don't touch.

Speaker 1 (05:29):
Yeah, it's uh, it's interesting whenever somebody chooses to decorate,
you know, their car with a lot of crament.

Speaker 2 (05:36):
I'm you know, sometimes I'm wary.

Speaker 1 (05:38):
Sometimes my child will see, like, you know, an adult
with their car that's covered.

Speaker 2 (05:42):
In anime and hello kitty.

Speaker 1 (05:44):
She's like, hey, look, it's a Hello Kitty car, And
I'm like, if you ever see an adult with Hello
Kitty all over their car, you go nowhere near that power.

Speaker 4 (05:51):
It's a great policy.

Speaker 2 (05:52):
Can understand that.

Speaker 4 (05:53):
It's just good parent.

Speaker 1 (05:54):
My parents took her to the Hello Kitty Cafe, which
was at roth Park Mall last weekend. And they've taken
her to a couple of things like this where they
took her to, like Sailor Moon was at either the
Buying or the ben Adem like.

Speaker 2 (06:09):
A few months back, and.

Speaker 1 (06:13):
They observed They're like, Wow, there's some really interesting adults
that go to these things. And I was like, that's
not a then diagram, that's a circle, you know, just
so you know, Like they're like there was a lot
of men at these things. I'm like mm hmm, yep, yeah.
Do those men have a lot of piercings? Did the
couple of them have fish nets on?

Speaker 2 (06:32):
Yeah? That's this is like this.

Speaker 1 (06:34):
Gets this gets a little weird. Sometimes you gotta be careful.

Speaker 5 (06:38):
It's like a certain other group who dresses up in
big costumes and gathers downtown once a year where it's
like I'm not saying you're not good people, I'm saying
you're all so horny. I'm saying you're like a.

Speaker 4 (06:49):
Part of this. Hey whatever. I got labeled a hater
for pointing this out.

Speaker 3 (06:53):
But the original thing with Furris was a like a
sexual kink that grew into a lifestyle around a sexual kink.
And now I don't think it's maybe their focus. I
think that they have branched out into more just like, well,
we just like having tails and ears and it's like
all right. But at first it was like the guys
who went in to the hotel rooms and balloons to
have sex.

Speaker 4 (07:12):
You know, Yeah, there were people who did that.

Speaker 5 (07:14):
You can be a horny little pervert and a good
person with us interests, so they're both true.

Speaker 4 (07:20):
I don't I'm not. It's not a moral judgment.

Speaker 1 (07:22):
No, yeah, I just usually have a follow up question.

Speaker 2 (07:25):
I'm like, oh, that's cool. I'll look at how that Hello, kidd,
he said, do you have kids? No back up?

Speaker 7 (07:31):
Right?

Speaker 4 (07:31):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (07:32):
Wow, you really love stitch? Do you have kids? No
back up? A little bit, that's all.

Speaker 3 (07:38):
Yeah, it's like the personification of a chat room a
little bit, all right.

Speaker 1 (07:44):
Paul Skeins is relishing in the Joys of the off Season.
I don't know if you guys saw this video, but
the pirate's picture was smiling ear to ear as he
cooked up dinner in his home with a stadium sized
hot dog roller. So Livvy Dunn posted this on TikTok
on Wednesday, where you know, he played his final game

(08:06):
of the season on September twenty fourth against the Cincinnati Reds,
but he happily looked down is four hot dogs rolled
on the grilling machine, and so I guess he's bringing
the joys of the ball stadium.

Speaker 3 (08:22):
Yeah, I don't know. I mean that that's not something
that interests me. I think there are better ways to
cook hot dogs. Yes, to me, grilling a hot dog
is the way to eat a hot dog. I think
those rollers are like, I mean, that's just kind of
like a heat lamp.

Speaker 5 (08:38):
Yeah, you're kind of dripping, you're mummifying them slowly. Yeah,
if he was smiling ear to ear, that's more reaction
than he showed winning.

Speaker 4 (08:46):
Rookie of the Year.

Speaker 5 (08:47):
Yeah, it's I don't know how I wondered what this
guy gets joy from.

Speaker 4 (08:52):
Turns out hot dogs that's what he really likes.

Speaker 3 (08:56):
Well, when he won Rookie of the Year, this first
question he had was am I still a pirate?

Speaker 4 (09:00):
And they're like yes, and he's like that.

Speaker 5 (09:02):
Might be why this could mean a lot of money
for you in four to seven years.

Speaker 4 (09:06):
You're the year.

Speaker 1 (09:08):
Yeah, what if we finally see him happy, once he
gets straighted and then he's like just.

Speaker 4 (09:13):
Bubbles super flamboyant.

Speaker 2 (09:15):
Yeah, We're like, uh, strike him out or what?

Speaker 5 (09:19):
All?

Speaker 4 (09:20):
Right?

Speaker 2 (09:20):
Horror movies have existed for as long as movies have existed.

Speaker 1 (09:23):
Nervous dot Com put together a list of the greatest
horror movie villains every decade over the last century. Okay,
I don't know how far back you want to go.
We can go back to the twenties if you want.
I don't know, you want to go like maybe the fifties. Sure, okay,
uh the Bad Seed rode a pen Martin.

Speaker 3 (09:44):
Hold on, No, go to the forties because that's the
universe of monsters, right, and the thirties.

Speaker 4 (09:50):
I spent a lot of time on the twenties.

Speaker 1 (09:52):
Is Opa, No, But I would have I would have
said that no seratuunt Warlock.

Speaker 4 (09:58):
Sure, sure, very scared, so scared of the very first.

Speaker 1 (10:01):
One, the very first one, and I think that's iconic.
Thirties you get Belugosi Dracula.

Speaker 5 (10:08):
I think he's better. I think Karloff is better as
the Mummy. But you know, I have to rewatch The Mummy. Oh,
it's very scary.

Speaker 4 (10:17):
I was surprised how much I like The Invisible Man. Yeah.
The Invisible Man is so good and I didn't think
it would be.

Speaker 5 (10:21):
And it's great. Yeah, and funny, a little funny, little funny.

Speaker 1 (10:25):
We do get Lon Cheney Junior for The Wolfman for
the nineteen forties, so.

Speaker 5 (10:31):
He had a rap of being a bad actor. I
don't think that's true. I think he's very good in
The Wolfman. He's really scary. But no, you kind of
feel bad for him.

Speaker 2 (10:38):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (10:39):
Sympathetic character nineteen fifties is The Bad Seed. As I mentioned,
Roda Penmark, did you.

Speaker 2 (10:45):
Ever see The Bad Seed?

Speaker 4 (10:46):
I have not seen, never heard of it.

Speaker 1 (10:48):
That is a big movie that's used in a lot
of psychology classes to illustrate nature versus nurture.

Speaker 4 (10:55):
Uh, an evil child.

Speaker 1 (10:58):
It's you know, whether you're born or an evil or
whether you are bred to be evil. Nineteen sixties Norman
Bates from Psycho.

Speaker 5 (11:09):
Oh, okay, because he's chilling. I he's scarier when he's
Norman than when he's mother. When he's mother, and you
know when he comes in at the very end, but
when he's sitting under the taxidermy birds explaining things, that's
very scary.

Speaker 4 (11:25):
I still like Psycho too.

Speaker 2 (11:28):
It is so bad.

Speaker 5 (11:29):
It is so I disagree. It's only bad compared to Psycho.
If you somehow know, if you put it in the
whole realm of films, it's an above average horror movie.
It's just a big drop off from Psycho. What wouldn't
be okay? Next, No, we know your point.

Speaker 4 (11:49):
No, we're right. You're on here. Guys like Jaws two.

Speaker 1 (11:53):
They let him out of an asylum and put him
in a house by himself.

Speaker 4 (11:59):
He'll be fine.

Speaker 2 (12:00):
Put him back in the same house.

Speaker 4 (12:01):
I said it was good, not believable. Lots of movies
that wouldn't happen.

Speaker 2 (12:07):
Fun, okay.

Speaker 1 (12:10):
Nineteen seventies Michael Myers Halloween, Yeah.

Speaker 2 (12:14):
Just perfect.

Speaker 4 (12:15):
Brought his head as a popcorn bucket just yesterday.

Speaker 3 (12:17):
Really there's you have a Michael Myers popcorn buck I
put it next to the Scream one, in the Jigsaw one,
next to the ducks.

Speaker 2 (12:23):
Yeah, oh that's good.

Speaker 4 (12:24):
I like that.

Speaker 1 (12:26):
Nineteen eighties there's a lot of material to work with.

Speaker 4 (12:31):
Do you want to ride?

Speaker 2 (12:33):
Great? Guess, and you are correct.

Speaker 5 (12:35):
I think Jason's I think Jason's scarier because he's so intimidating.
If you, I mean Freddy, you feel like you could
negotiate with or maybe seduce. He looks kinky. Jason is
just a big brick wall of killing. See.

Speaker 1 (12:51):
I think Freddy is a little scarier because of that.
Uh did you see Freddy Versus Jason when that came out?

Speaker 4 (12:59):
Yeah?

Speaker 5 (12:59):
Oh yeah, I listen. I saw Freddy versus Jason three
times the first day. I did work in a movie
theater at the time, but I was just like, let's
just keep this role.

Speaker 2 (13:08):
I think I went the day it came out.

Speaker 1 (13:10):
I was like, all I have never seen that one.
I went when it came out because it's hilarious.

Speaker 5 (13:16):
It's not good. I wouldn't have thought it was. But
eventually Freddy and Jason beat each other up, so you
got love. Yeah, if they fell in love at the end, ibn.

Speaker 1 (13:25):
They do kiss that they touched, but I just want
to would just lack when you two kiss? All right,
nineteen nineties, I think it's a little tougher to pick
somebody from the nineties, Hannibal, that would have that would have.

Speaker 2 (13:42):
Been I think that is iconic.

Speaker 4 (13:45):
He's only got one movie in the nineties.

Speaker 1 (13:47):
But yeah, this one I actually kind of disagree with,
even though I think it's a good choice.

Speaker 2 (13:53):
Candy Man.

Speaker 5 (13:55):
Oh yes, very chilling, absolutely chilling. It's it's I feel
like not everyone's seen that one.

Speaker 1 (14:02):
I think that's why I don't think it's the one.
I think Cannibal Lecter would have been a better, more
iconic choice.

Speaker 5 (14:08):
Tony Tudd extensive Pittsburgh ties not from here, but he
did August Wilson shows at the Public Theater, made the
Tom savieniun idle living dead here.

Speaker 4 (14:15):
He loved Pittsburgh and he was a Candybee. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (14:19):
Yeah, two thousand's another popcorn bucket for you.

Speaker 2 (14:24):
It saw from the Saw movies.

Speaker 4 (14:28):
But I'm rooting for him. He seems nice. He makes
a lot of good points.

Speaker 2 (14:31):
Listen, some of those people they suck.

Speaker 1 (14:33):
Yeah, twenty ten's Annabelle from the Cons' gonna say that.

Speaker 4 (14:39):
No, it's a doll. I don't love those movies at all.

Speaker 3 (14:44):
I was actually kind of surprised at all of the
like acclaim for them and I'm watching. I think I
watched the second one first and I was like, this
is it was not that good.

Speaker 5 (14:55):
The whole franchise, because that's part of the Conjuring franchise
has the same problem.

Speaker 4 (14:58):
At the end. It's like, oh, we.

Speaker 5 (15:00):
Got to put the spooky thing back in the holy place,
and then the ghost will go away. That's the end
of every movie because you can set up and make
it as spooky as you like, but then at the
end there's nowhere to go with there's a spooky thing
over there. We don't know what to do, especially when
it's a doll. Took like eight movies, so that doll
to stand up not all that scary.

Speaker 2 (15:20):
Okay, so this is difficult.

Speaker 1 (15:22):
Now we're in the twenty twenties and we're only five
years in. There's been a lot of scary movies. But
can you think of any character that's permeated yet?

Speaker 4 (15:34):
Aren't the clown very good?

Speaker 2 (15:37):
You are correct, that is what has made the list.

Speaker 5 (15:39):
I still haven't seen any of those. I think I
saw like the early ones.

Speaker 2 (15:44):
Clown from the Terrifier movies, Oh.

Speaker 4 (15:46):
My god, I know, I don't even know what those are.

Speaker 2 (15:48):
Black and white clown got like a hooked nose.

Speaker 1 (15:51):
You've probably at least seen somebody do this for Halloween probably, uh,
for sure. These movies are characterized as.

Speaker 2 (16:01):
Almost beyond over the top.

Speaker 5 (16:03):
Yeah violence, hyper violence and hyper violent, and they're all
long and so that's the thing. It doesn't seem like
I would enjoy it, So I haven't sat down with
them yet, but people go nuts for them.

Speaker 4 (16:14):
Yes, scariest movie character ever to muse, Anton.

Speaker 2 (16:16):
Schager, that's pretty good.

Speaker 4 (16:19):
Clearly a person that I am afraid of.

Speaker 3 (16:21):
I think if he walked in the room looking like
that right now, I'd fear for my life. If a
clown walked in here right now, I'd be like, go away, yeah, shoe.

Speaker 6 (16:31):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (16:31):
Well, I think that's what's weird about the art, the clown.

Speaker 2 (16:35):
Lore or whatever.

Speaker 1 (16:36):
It almost started with a comedic element yeah uh, and
was done so like the violence of an art. The
clown was an over the top kind of violence where
it was almost silly. And now those movies have grown
to be an over the top violence that is truly

(17:00):
like bone chilling and making people sick.

Speaker 4 (17:03):
He's a demon art. The clown is a demon.

Speaker 1 (17:05):
Yeah, And that's the thing is like, now it's also
got this like Fantasmagord.

Speaker 4 (17:11):
Like The Final Girl becomes an angel or something.

Speaker 1 (17:15):
It's really gone beyond any kind of silly.

Speaker 4 (17:19):
Very good.

Speaker 5 (17:20):
They're independent, they're completely independent, self distributed movies that have
made millions of dollars.

Speaker 4 (17:24):
So good for good for them.

Speaker 1 (17:26):
Yes, plenty of sunshine today, it's gonna be a high
of sixties.

Speaker 4 (17:29):
Have you watched horror movies? Have you gotten into your
October run of horror Flix? Here?

Speaker 5 (17:33):
It never stops. I just watched Bone Lake, which is
out lake. I'm when I go for a canoe ride
on Bone Lake. That's very, very intentional. I'm looking for
the big new one to actually scare me because I'm
seeing good stuff, but nothing has really chilled me in
a while.

Speaker 4 (17:50):
Cronenberg, what's the Brood?

Speaker 5 (17:53):
Oh? Yeah, that was scared the hell out of me
and I will never watch it again. And it was fantastic.

Speaker 2 (18:00):
Okay, that's on criteria.

Speaker 4 (18:01):
Yeah, now go for that?

Speaker 2 (18:02):
Do that?

Speaker 1 (18:03):
Did you see bring Her Back? That's the one everybody
keeps telling me to see it. I'm afraid to watch.

Speaker 4 (18:06):
I haven't yet. I think I'm gonna because that's what
I'm hearing as well. Okay said about Ben Affleck and Jayla.

Speaker 3 (18:11):
It is Mike's coming up with your Sports when we
return Steelers Browns this Sunday. Nothing would be scarier than
letting Dylan Gabriel beat the Pittsburgh Steelers at home.

Speaker 4 (18:20):
They still have not won a home game this year.

Tell me about it, as in I'm trying to stay
away there in the boring ass movie, it's every twenty
years or so, Disney says, Hey, let's do a Tron.
Let's say you want to do Tron. Really you want
to do you know, like three years of development and
two hundred million dollars, you know, d you want to
just do a quick Tron. Just do a little Tron
really quick. And apparently what no one ever says in

(20:17):
those moments is.

Speaker 4 (20:18):
No, it's never work.

Speaker 5 (20:21):
Just then it's they never make money, We lose money
on it. Every time. No one really seems to care.
They're never that good. Let's just stop doing tron No
one says that. So here we are again, Uh, with
tron Aries now in theaters. I hate to, you know,

(20:42):
seed my critical voice to another another writer, but sometimes
somebody just gets it so perfectly.

Speaker 6 (20:51):
Uh.

Speaker 5 (20:51):
And so I must quote a letterboxed user. I think
it's Jonathan Fuji who has a seven word review of
tron Aries that is a really pretty poop from a butt, and.

Speaker 4 (21:04):
I can't I can't do any better than that.

Speaker 5 (21:09):
That's yeah, he's it's really pretty, it looks fantastic. They
always do futuristic fish sounds great. Tron movies always sound great.
The original had Journey songs from Journey. Sure, then the
last one was in the original. Right, he's in all
of them. He makes a small appearance in this one. Uh,

(21:30):
he's still doing it. Man and nine inch nails score's
you know, I might vote for the nine inchinail score.
It's excellent. Also, it's a poop from a butt, be
really pretty poop from a butt.

Speaker 4 (21:43):
It's so boring.

Speaker 5 (21:45):
It's like if you said, write a sci fi novel,
but you're not allowed to use proper nouns and you go, uh,
there's a guy and he's in a place and he's
got to get a thing to stop the evil guy.
That's the plot of this movie. It never has any
intrigue whatsoever. If you see it on the best screen,
you'll be dazzled because it looks great and it's a

(22:07):
really pretty poop from a butt.

Speaker 4 (22:08):
It's really pretty.

Speaker 5 (22:09):
And then like me, at about an hour and ten,
you'll fall asleep and you'll have the loudest nap you've
ever heard.

Speaker 3 (22:16):
Yeah, I would think that this would have been an opportunity.
Not a lot of people watch the original Tron. No,
it doesn't have like even cult status. I mean it
is a small cult, if you call it a cult
following for the first one, there was a video game
that accompanied it that nobody played. Yeah, nobody talked about it,
and it was not a thing. And then when they

(22:36):
brought it back, it was like, oh, well, this makes
sense because this was an idea that was actually ahead
of its time. It'll probably fit in better in today's
digital culture. Except nobody's really cared about it. It just
hasn't been a thing, and I would think that they
would in the age of virtual reality headsets. Yeah, that
they could come up with a better way to redo

(22:59):
this movie than they have.

Speaker 5 (23:01):
They did. It's the ride. There's a ride where you
get on the light cycle and zoom around. That's the
ultimate expression of Tron. That's kind of all you need.

Speaker 3 (23:11):
Well, I guess even that kind of like my argument
is should be that that virtual reality doesn't give it
more opportunity to be relevant. It's that it kind of
completely squashes what made this one cool in the first place,
which is that you were inside the game. Yeah, and
now it's like we're all inside the games all the time.
Or tell it a different or use you know, as

(23:32):
you said, use a virtual reality and do a movie
just there, or do a game.

Speaker 5 (23:36):
Disney makes games. But yeah, they keep trying to put
it back in theaters. At least they you know, went
to a beloved actor that everyone likes and will brighten
the Wait, what's that.

Speaker 4 (23:48):
Oh, it's Jared Leno.

Speaker 5 (23:49):
It's Jared Lenno starring as the new like master control
program that goes rogue and is going to save the.

Speaker 4 (23:58):
Good you recently out.

Speaker 5 (24:00):
Yeah, you got somebody that is a pedophile no one
likes and is a bad actor. Great choice, great choice
with tra and Arey's.

Speaker 4 (24:10):
But a roofman. This doesn't sound like Disney, all right? Whatman? Roofman?

Speaker 5 (24:14):
Channing Tatum true story. This is about a ceial burglar,
I guess in the late nineties who would own and
steal cereal. He didn't steal cereal, but he did rob
McDonald's early in the morning.

Speaker 4 (24:26):
He would drill.

Speaker 5 (24:27):
He's the roofman because he would drill in through the roof,
sneak onto the roof of night drill in. At the time,
McDonald's didn't like take their money away from the night before,
so he would just wait for the people to get
there politely say could you please open this? And they
aren't gonna lock in the wait in the freezer for
the police to come. And he would only let them
in the freezer if they went and got their coats
so they were warm in the freezer. This man is

(24:49):
a hero. I don't care how many people he robbed,
but he's just so nice. He got caught, he broke out.
He lived at a toys r us for three months
while he was trying to figure out what to do
next three months. Oh yeah, he was in there for
like the whole holiday shopping season. He was living in
the toys rs how there was a true story. This
is an entirely true story, and that part is true.

(25:09):
There was like a false wall behind a display of bicycles,
and he climbed in there and built a little.

Speaker 4 (25:14):
Bit because he was hiding because he didn't have anywhere
to live.

Speaker 5 (25:17):
He was waiting for his buddy to come through with
like passports and documents to get out of them, and
that was going to take a little bit. It's an
interesting story movie. So so Channing Tatum is great. He's
going for the oscar. I don't think he'll get it,
but he's ruth. I've seen it like at the bottom
of the list, like longest of long shots in the running.

(25:41):
Channing Tatum is going for it. And Kirsten Dunst is
in it. Peter Dinklich is the angry, grumpy Toys r
US manager, which is perfect. Cast is great. Cast makes
it worth watching good date movie for the weekend. Otherwise
you might end up seeing tron Aris. So to avoid that,
or go out to the Lindsay Theater and swickly bit
of a bit of a Robert Redford tribute. They're showing

(26:02):
the Sting and out of Africa all week though, missed
opportunity there. They're not showing the Clearing, which Robert Redford
made in Pittsburgh. That's a Pittsburgh shot film. More importantly,
my parents are extras in it. For two seconds. You
can see them walk across the room in the clearing.
What's it about? Why was it made here? Why is
it important? I have no idea, but my parents mentioned

(26:24):
the Clearing more than they mentioned the Wizard of Oz
because they're in it for that one shot. I say
we were in a movie with Robert Redford.

Speaker 4 (26:31):
Yes you were. I'll call you from Pittsburgh magazine. Abby's
got your news.

Speaker 1 (26:34):
Next, an unlikely band has just inked a residency at
the Sphere and we have to say goodbye to Sister
Jean Dolores.

Speaker 3 (26:41):
Check Vincent in a virtual coffee house big gig with
Paul Luke this weekend at trace Burwlliant.

Speaker 6 (26:46):
It's the perfect thing to obsess over.

Speaker 2 (26:48):
I've been trying for years.

Speaker 6 (26:49):

Speaker 8 (27:09):
Noticed a new internet company knocking at your door with
claims like I'm not here to sell you anything, or
I wouldn't lie to you.

Speaker 4 (27:16):
The truth is
