Speaker 1 (00:00):
Wait a minute, Okay, this isn't actually as righteous as
we thought we were being here. We thought everybody involved
in this movement was very above board and we all
had the same goals in mind, because they'd remained very
much like, we want to bring everyone together, and they
saw the movement as they began to delve into the

(00:20):
more extreme wings of it being something that was hell
bent on being divisive. Sure or divisive, I don't know.
Sometimes some people say divisive and.

Speaker 2 (00:29):
It always kind of makes me get kick. It's a
little nail and divisible. Well that's how I roll.

Speaker 1 (00:34):
But after that, you know they have Sean and it's
like he turned into a different person. If you listen
to the music he was making with the Plastic Ono
Band and just that first stuff versus what ended up
being Milk and Honey. Sean is the beautiful boy of
Beautiful Boys boy and I mentioned it to him in

(00:55):
that interview. There's a reel that's going around and you
could seek this out of if you want. The BBC
did a piece shortly after John died asking all of
these UK luminaries about pop stars. You know, what would
be your Desert Island record? What would you take with
you and Paul McCartney. I think you can pick like three,
and one of the ones Paul McCartney picked is Beautiful Boy,

(01:18):
And then they play it and he just sits there
and listens to it, and it's like watching Paul McCartney
listen to John Lennon, who had just died a couple
maybe a year ago, saying about his son is somehow
the most compelling, like ninety seconds of video you watch
and you can just see all the thoughts behind his eyes,

(01:42):
and then at one point he kind of starts singing
along to it, and it's really hard to not be like,
oh jeez.

Speaker 2 (01:47):
It's getting dusty in here. I didn't need beetle feelings
this early in the morning. And they had such a
complex relationship.

Speaker 1 (01:55):
It would have been very interesting to see how that
one would have evolved because.

Speaker 2 (02:02):
Where they would have been in the nineties, you know,
I think John loved Paul a lot more than people understood.

Speaker 1 (02:10):
I think that they came to view it as like, well,
John was the punky one and Paul is the poppy one.
But they very much appreciated who they were in each
other's lives. Like a lot of creative relationships, bust up,
and you know, there's a big bang that happens and
the dust scatters all over the creative universe. But those

(02:30):
two were very much like revolving around the same sun.

Speaker 3 (02:34):
It's very likely that time could have healed any wounds
that were created because of the pressures of fame.

Speaker 1 (02:41):
Yeah, I think George is the one who couldn't stand
Paul more than John.

Speaker 2 (02:47):
He did.

Speaker 1 (02:48):
He get angry, he didn't want to be there, like,
all right, I'll show up and play the songs, but
I'm not getting involved in all of this. Well, George
did interviews where he's like later in life where he's like,
I think I was blown on the wrong planet. I
like being in my garden, and then when I have
to go outside my garden, I'm like, get me back

(03:10):
into the goden.

Speaker 2 (03:11):
I hated it.

Speaker 1 (03:12):
Yeah, there was a reason he delve so far into
Eastern mysticism because he just he couldn't stand people.

Speaker 2 (03:23):
Very clear, he kind of couldn't stand most people.

Speaker 3 (03:26):
Yeah, George Harrison learned about boundaries before they were.

Speaker 2 (03:29):
Cool, So that's why that all appealed to him. And
I don't even know if it worked for him.

Speaker 1 (03:35):
Like, imagine how uptight would George Harrison have been if
he wasn't into all the Eastern philosophy, religion, you know,
if he wasn't meditating and doing all those things, it
would have just been a crazy person. Do you think
there ever would have been a Beatles concert? You think
they would have gotten back? I mean, oh, my god, like.

Speaker 2 (03:56):
Or something. They would have never needed the money, No, but.

Speaker 1 (04:01):
The allure of doing something like that, yeah, and just
the fun I think they would have had later in life.

Speaker 4 (04:06):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (04:06):
I think we were robbed of some really cool stuff.

Speaker 1 (04:09):
Although I wonder if you know, death is the thing
that creates legends. If they stick around, does it actually
and they do go on a world tour of the
Beatles Symphony, the Magical Mystery Tour of nineteen ninety six
happens or something, does that actually take away from their
legacy in the long run?

Speaker 2 (04:28):
You know what wasn't good the Police Reunion tour. Uh?

Speaker 1 (04:32):
Well, yeah, sometimes you get back together and the energy,
the youthful energy is gone. But it didn't ding their legacy.
I mean no, they weren't the same thing. I'm talking
about like Elvis, you know.

Speaker 4 (04:44):
What I mean?

Speaker 2 (04:45):
Like Elvis in the Vegas years, It.

Speaker 1 (04:48):
Kind that put a little bit of a dent in
the legacy because people don't give him enough credit for
stealing all of those black people's great songs. He walked
into the convenience store and picked all.

Speaker 2 (05:05):
Right stuff to steal.

Speaker 1 (05:06):
Yeah, but you know, such was the culture at the time.
He did inspire a lot of people. I mean, the
Beatles loved Elvis, you know, and the Beatles never had
their vaguest moment.

Speaker 2 (05:18):
I don't know if they would have. I just wonder
even I mean, well.

Speaker 3 (05:22):
The the artist that's easiest to compare to them would
be the Stones. And even in the way like the Stones,
like you know, the the memes that go around about
them sometimes where it's like, here are Keith Richards beautiful daughters,
and whenever they die.

Speaker 1 (05:36):
He.

Speaker 2 (05:40):
Like everybody lives.

Speaker 3 (05:42):
They can live long enough to become a punchline in
some way, they're still revered.

Speaker 2 (05:46):
But you know, who would have.

Speaker 3 (05:48):
Thought that Stones would have been touring at their capacity.

Speaker 1 (05:51):
Oh to be lucky enough to live long enough to
embarrass you, to embarrass yourself, that's right. I remember my
dad saying when I was very young, talking about going
to see the Rolling Stones because he thought this has
to be my last chance.

Speaker 2 (06:05):
The year was nineteen eighty nine.

Speaker 1 (06:07):
He was sure that in nineteen eighty ste Wheels the
Steel Wheels would be the last big go round. I
saw that tour at three River Stadium. I believe that's
where that was, was it not? Yeah, Steel Wheels tour
was that nineteen eighty nine? Yep, August of eighty nine.
He said he was the only one who wanted to
go in early and see Living color. Everyone else was

(06:29):
getting drunk in the parking lot. You know that makes sense.
You can still see Living Color. Yeah, they're also still around.

Speaker 4 (06:35):
You can go see.

Speaker 1 (06:35):
Yes, Vernon and Corey and the Fellas.

Speaker 2 (06:38):
Probably a cheaper ticket than the last stone so I saw.

Speaker 1 (06:42):
Was not the last one at hinzfielder Acer Sure it
was the one two times ago, and it was like,
I don't know, three hundred a ticket and I was like,
I think I'm good. And then when they came through,
everybody I know that went said it was amazing and
I screwed up and I should have gone, but I
just I don't know.

Speaker 2 (07:00):
There was like a principle to it.

Speaker 3 (07:02):
No, I think you have to stop when you are
satisfied that last the last Elton John show that I
went to was a PPG.

Speaker 2 (07:10):
I didn't go to the PNC oh the one.

Speaker 3 (07:14):
I left that PPG show completely.

Speaker 2 (07:21):
Satiated. I was so happy.

Speaker 3 (07:24):
I was on a cloud.

Speaker 2 (07:25):
He played it.

Speaker 4 (07:27):
Tonight.

Speaker 3 (07:29):
I was so happy he played everything I wanted to play.
There were a ton of surprises on it, and I
just didn't need to see it.

Speaker 1 (07:37):
Yeah, that's the way to do it sometimes, and I
had to be okay with that.

Speaker 4 (07:41):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (07:42):
It's like to who came through with the Quadrophenia tour, uh,
you know, twelve years ago or whatever it was, and
it was not good. Roger was bad, And then the
next time they came through, maybe three or four years later,
they were outstanding.

Speaker 2 (07:54):
It was so good.

Speaker 1 (07:55):
And I'm like, I never want to see him again
for that exact same reason, because I'm afraid it won't.

Speaker 3 (08:00):
Be as good, like going back for a second dessert.

Speaker 1 (08:02):
I was a little worried about McCartney last month, being
the same way like I was worried McCartney was gonna
end up being not a great show. The power of
those songs is such that he could get by by
being mediocre and it would still be a great concert.

Speaker 2 (08:18):
And if we're being honest.

Speaker 1 (08:19):
Of course, he tried to perform some stuff that he
simply cannot do anymore.

Speaker 2 (08:25):
It didn't matter, It didn't take away from it at all.

Speaker 1 (08:29):
It was still you know, you're there watching Paul McCartney
sing those songs. It's hard to even draw a comparison.
It's like, oh, Beethoven's here playing the fifth. Well, let's
go see if Beethoven still has it. I'm regretting that.
I was looking at it all day and it was like,
I'm regretting not seeing Beethoven. Yeah, yeah, right, And it
was like two hundred to be behind the stage and

(08:50):
six hundred to be looking at the stage, and I thought,
I can't do this for McCartney. Understandable. And that's where
the live nation crap drives me nuts. Yeah, because the
secondary market immediately gets inflated, like the tickets are on sale,
and then why aren't there on he left? Well, I
don't know, but there's a bunch on the secondary market.
Well was there ever a primary market?

Speaker 4 (09:13):
Right?

Speaker 5 (09:13):
No?

Speaker 1 (09:13):
That's that's why I'm trying to resist Bob Dylan next year,
because don't it used to be you knew that you
were just going to go there and stare at him, say,
I mean, yeah, but it was forty eight dollars since
the movie came out, it's two hundred.

Speaker 4 (09:31):
Is that true.

Speaker 1 (09:32):
Oh, it's it's skyrocketed after the movie because people think
they're going to go and see Timothy.

Speaker 2 (09:37):
They're blowing in the wind. Yeah, yeah, that's not gonna
happen though.

Speaker 1 (09:41):
All right, Michael being here just a little bit with
your sports, we're gonna have Sean reviewing the new.

Speaker 2 (09:45):
Knives out is out and Knives are out. Yes, that's right.

Speaker 1 (09:50):
And also the bastard bearded irishman coming up for you
in the coffee house here on the DV Warning.

Speaker 2 (09:55):
Show from the Donz Appliances Studio.

Speaker 6 (09:57):
Sports Mike Pursida's got your sports right now on the
DV Morning Show, Big Game Monday Night Football for your
Steelers and your Steelers, well, and I mean your Steelers,
I meant like the listener.

Speaker 4 (10:12):
Or Rooney Steelers and Mike Tomlin.

Speaker 2 (10:14):
Steelers, Everybody's Stealers and TJ. Watt Steelers as well.

Speaker 7 (10:18):
They might not be Monday nights. He might be watching
with the rest of us sports. This hour brought to
you by Bridgeville Appliance No.

Speaker 4 (10:25):
TJ.

Speaker 7 (10:25):
Watt at the upmc rooney Sports Complex for practice yesterday.
That's because he had been hospitalized after experiencing lung discomfort
at the practice facility on Wednesday. That according to a
statement released by the team, Watt's status for Monday nights
hosting of the Dolphins is in question. That also, according
to the team, Mike Tomlin briefly just the media after

(10:47):
practice yesterday but didn't have a whole lot to say
about it, And he prefaced his remarks by saying he
would not have a whole lot to say about it
because he's not a medical expert. But they're in a
holding pattern with TJ. Watt, which ain't great.

Speaker 1 (11:01):
This is a major f up if we don't know
all the details.

Speaker 4 (11:08):
We do not.

Speaker 1 (11:09):
But when a player gets hospitalized for lung discomfort, like
it's a weird thing, you know, to just be like,
he my lung hurts, right, there's a reason.

Speaker 2 (11:21):
It's because someone stuck a needle in there.

Speaker 4 (11:24):
I know it was my lung.

Speaker 1 (11:26):
You would if someone put a needle into your ribs
and you were like, oh my god, does that hurt
because my lung was just punctured.

Speaker 4 (11:34):
I'd probably be like that with most needles just in general.

Speaker 2 (11:37):
I just think that even TJ.

Speaker 1 (11:39):
Watt, Yeah, I mean, like the cartilage around your ribs
and everything that's all like sensitive area. I'm sure it
hurts no matter what, but I gotta imagine that having
your lung pierced is an additional source of pain there.

Speaker 4 (11:52):
I would think.

Speaker 7 (11:53):
Yeah, so stay tuned on what Derek Harmon didn't.

Speaker 1 (11:57):
By the way, it doesn't end like with him just like, oh,
he'll be better and then there's like there's gonna be
dominoes at fall.

Speaker 2 (12:04):
If there's negligence.

Speaker 1 (12:05):
Here, we shall see NFLPA getting involved, is what I'm saying.

Speaker 7 (12:12):
No Derek Harmon to practice yesterday either, but he's hoping
to play Monday night against Miami.

Speaker 1 (12:18):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (12:18):
I'm aout to mix the name.

Speaker 8 (12:20):
Really just trying to take a day by day and
really wants my number call to get up back out there. Man,
I'm kind of getting impatient, but it's part.

Speaker 1 (12:27):
Of the game.

Speaker 7 (12:28):
Yeah, a lot of people probably getting in patient, particularly
given the fact that the Steelers allow an average in
ninety six rushing yards a game when Harmon is actually
in the games, and one hundred and ninety one point
twenty five rushing yards a game against when Harmon is
not in the games, not that the rookie number one
pick is focused on such a ridiculous split. Yeah, Eric,

(12:49):
are you aware that the average rushing yards against is
about one hundred yards more when you don't play.

Speaker 8 (12:55):
I'm not trying not to look into that, man. I'll
try when I'm in a playing game and just playing
my I'm best boy.

Speaker 4 (13:00):
I helped the team win.

Speaker 2 (13:03):
That's quite a stat.

Speaker 4 (13:05):
I've never seen anything like that.

Speaker 2 (13:06):
You know there are one hundred yards worse when you're
not there. Well, here's one for t J.

Speaker 1 (13:09):
Watt one and eleven when he doesn't play or plays
through injury.

Speaker 4 (13:14):
I'm gonnaware of that one. Well, you're pointing at your computer.
Screw where's it coming from?

Speaker 2 (13:20):
Uh? A stat?

Speaker 7 (13:22):
Okay, there's a lot of a lot of stuff on there.
I'm not saying it's wrong. I just don't wanna aware
of that one. Chat GPT uh. Some of the other
practice developments yesterday, Kyle Duggar full participant with his hand.
That's a big deal because if he plays, they don't
have to alternate Jabrill Peppers and Chuck Clark and try

(13:44):
to guess whether Miami's gonna run aware the Miami's gonna throw.

Speaker 6 (13:47):
Uh.

Speaker 7 (13:47):
Malik Harrison concussion limited, Darnel Washington concussion limited. Andre's Pete
concussion did not practice. Uh dk Metcalf said he's fine
with that whole abdomen thing he experienced after the game
in Baltimore, and let's see if I.

Speaker 4 (14:04):
Missed anybody else. Now, that's that's basically the highlights of it.

Speaker 7 (14:08):
Wide receivers Adam Thielen and Marquez Valdaz Scantling played for
the first time for the Steelers last Sunday in Baltimore.
They contributed to combined one catch for four yards on
two targets, but they had an impact quarterback Aaron Rodgers emphasize,
and we'll continue to have one moving forward.

Speaker 5 (14:26):
You can't be fooled by the stat lines for either
of those two guys, because just their presence out there
and then being the right spot every single time makes
a big difference as far as spacing goes, allow us
for the time and of plays to kind of flow
and rhythm, and you know, we had a lot of
good things go our way in the passing game. But
no sacks obviously has a lot to do with the
offensive line. But another part of the sacks is, you know,

(14:49):
everybody on the same page. You know, I don't feel
like we had many plays where you know, ten guys,
nine guys doing the right and one or two guys
are not doing it right. And you know, you gotta
get credit to those guys for the way they prepared
the pros. They've been played a lot of a lot
of football at high levels, so I wasn't surprised, but
definitely helps with the passing game when when everybody's in
the right spot every single time.

Speaker 7 (15:10):
Wow, didn't throw anybody under the bus specifically there, but
you know, well, these guys hadn't played before and all
of a sudden, everybody did it right. And we all
know what a stick with Rogers is for that kind
of stuff. I think those guys are gonna play and
play more. I agree with Rogers. He's gonna find ways
to get him the ball, and uh, I think they're

(15:31):
going to be impactful down.

Speaker 4 (15:32):
To stretch here.

Speaker 3 (15:33):
Uh.

Speaker 7 (15:33):
Steelers feasted in a down the field passing game. On
the down the field passing game against Baltimore, but they
accomplished nothing on the ground. Offensive coordinator Arthur Smith wore
the ladder hat yesterday.

Speaker 9 (15:46):
That was just a mindset going in come hell our water.
We're gonna push, you know, trying to push them all
in the field and and then throw it. You know,
I didn't call there, and then he runs. But I
got a little pass at you. And I don't think
I've ever been accused of uh not running it enough,
So maybe you evolved.

Speaker 7 (16:04):
He actually has been accused of not running it enough.
He's been accused of that this year. Yes, but the
admission I got a little pass happy that I enjoyed
hearing that.

Speaker 4 (16:13):
I don't know if anybody else is.

Speaker 7 (16:14):
Getting the kick out of that that I am. I
think that's the way to go again Monday night. I'd
like to see them get the running game straightened out
and get more out of it. They're gonna need to
get the running games straight out and get more out
of it, but they're compromised to tackle. Miami's got a
good front but a vulnerable secondary. While they're playing making

(16:35):
the slot, which great, don't throw it to the guy
in the slot. Pick one of the other four available
targets because the rest of the secondary is not good.

Speaker 2 (16:46):
Steelers who played eleven games without TJ.

Speaker 4 (16:48):
Watt and they've won one. Wow, so they do.

Speaker 1 (16:53):
You're saying there's a chick because he's not playing Monday night,
Like I it would be remarkable if he made available
for this one.

Speaker 2 (17:01):
It'd be kind of foolhardy.

Speaker 1 (17:04):
I mean, we all want to win, but why risk
catastrophic And yeah, if you don't have all of the
information to beat the Dolphins, well they got to win
the game.

Speaker 2 (17:15):
Uh sorry about your lung TJ. But we're getting need
you to play.

Speaker 7 (17:19):
I'm not saying you should play, but I mean you
just said to beat the Dolphins, like, I mean, that's
who you're playing.

Speaker 2 (17:24):
You gotta win, agree, Yeah, yeah, yeah, it shouldn't. They're
all really diminish the opponent.

Speaker 7 (17:29):
But it's it's really coincidental, maybe curious. Mika Fitzpatrick is
now playing a lot of slot for Miami instead of
center field. He was he played center field here and
he wasn't having the impact. At least that's how people
perceived it, because there's no stat for balls. They didn't

(17:52):
try to throw because they were afraid of you. So
Miami's moving them up and the other guys are getting
picked on. The Steelers get Jalen Ramsey because they wanted
him to come up and play in the slot and
rush off the rush off the edge to be around
the ball and make an impact, and the guys behind
him stuck. So you gotta go get Willie Mason's center

(18:14):
field again. So they don't hit triples all day. It's
just funny how it works out, Isn't it not funny?

Speaker 2 (18:21):
Haha though?

Speaker 7 (18:23):
But I mean, no, you can't give up huge plays
like that's that's death of the defense. At least if
you make them nickel and diamond the way down the field,
they might screw up and then you're okay.

Speaker 2 (18:34):
Is it a component of the defense that Oh, no questions.

Speaker 4 (18:37):
It's a component of both defenses.

Speaker 7 (18:39):
But it's just there's two guys and are very similar
players there, versatile, and they were in roles.

Speaker 4 (18:43):
And no, that role is no good.

Speaker 7 (18:45):
We got to get a guy to do something different
and he ends up doing the safety.

Speaker 2 (18:48):
The same exact thing.

Speaker 4 (18:49):
Like, yeah, why bother with the trip if it was
gonna work out this way?

Speaker 2 (18:54):
Abby, You'll have your news coming up at the top
of the.

tickets at mister Smalls dot com or DV dot com.

Speaker 2 (22:07):
Tis this season. When you're in the mood for holiday music.

Speaker 1 (22:22):
It's the DV Morning Show Randy Bauman along with Abby
Prisoner This Morning, Mike Persuda, our prettycer, Jacob Brec Dan
Shawn coll you're joining us in studio reviewing the newest
knives Out.

Speaker 2 (22:34):
This one knives Out three.

Speaker 1 (22:37):
Sure, but officially wake up dead Man. A knives out mystery?
Is that what it's called? Because numbers ain't classy no more? Okay,
wake up damn. I would rather watch Daniel Craig as
Ben won Blanc than any other fictional detective. I'd like,
who know what you what? Do you want Sherlock Holmes?
You want her qu ple Row, You want Wishbone to

(23:00):
dressed up as Sherlock Holmes?

Speaker 4 (23:01):
Who else?

Speaker 2 (23:03):
The dog was pretty good?

Speaker 1 (23:04):
But other than that, no, when a mystery is afoot,
I want James Bond doing a fog horn like horn voice.
That is just entertaining every time, and all of these
have been very good. The newest one, The Wake Up
dead Man, is no exception. Starts the great cast. Glenn

(23:24):
Close is fantastic in this movie. I hope she gets
her seventy eighth nomination that she won't win or whatever
she's up to. Josh brol And, Josh O'Connor, Milacunis, Jeremy Renner,
Kerrie Washington, Thomas Hayden, Church, Jeffrey Wright, and more. It
turns out if you make fun movies and actors like you,
good actors will want to come hang out and make

(23:45):
a movie. This is just a slate of charming, likable
people and also Jeremy Renner, but mostly charming. I'm glad
you didn't get killed by that tractor or whatever it was.

Speaker 2 (23:57):
But after that, yikes, yeah, yeah, he's not We've had
a great month.

Speaker 1 (24:01):
No, didn't bounce back well there, But in any case,
this is a great setting. It's like a small town church.
Josh Berlin's the fiery preacher. He's driven away the flock
with his angry sermons. There's all these people who would
want to put a knife in his back. So guess
what happens but who done it. It's going to take
a scenery chewing brit to find out. These are just

(24:22):
so fun, and Ryan Johnson is such a good director.
I want him to do other stuff because he does
a lot of things well. But I also kind of
want him to make one of these every other year forever,
because we need more movies with real stars having a
good time that are well made and fun to watch,
especially in this frigid winter season we find ourselves in

(24:43):
being able to settle in on the couch.

Speaker 2 (24:44):
This is Netflix.

Speaker 1 (24:45):
It was allegedly it was in some local theater, but
this was even for Netflix, not out at a lot
of theaters, which is its own set of problems. That said,
having a knives out to throw on on a cold
winter night this weekend a great way to spend your
time a lot of fun at home. One warning with that, though,
because you will almost certainly watch this at home, there

(25:07):
is a solid temptation to guess at the solution out
loud to your friends and family members. Remember, if you
get it right, thus inadvertently spoiling the movie for the
rest of the room, those people will be mad at
you forever, and they are right to feel that way.
That is the correct response. How do I know, because

(25:30):
in nineteen ninety nine, my seventh grade girlfriend leaned over
to me and guessed the ending of the sixth Sense.
And I'm still mad about it. No, I think he's yeah,
Oh no, it's not going to be that. He's not
going to be I spoil the sixth Sense on the radio.
If you haven't, I've just sick before that. First of all,
I did guess it immediately. I don't know why. And

(25:53):
I was so disappointed that I guessed it as early
as I did. Yeah, Like in one of the I
they're not looking at him. I wonder if he's no,
And I'm like really, And then I didn't get to
have the fun that everyone had. It's just it was
like a fluke. But one time I was going to
see Presumed Innocent. And this is I was in high
school and I'm like hanging out with a couple of

(26:13):
buddies and I'm about to go with one of our
friends and our other friend goes, where are you guys going.
We're like, oh, we're gonna go see Presumed Innocent, And
my buddy Mark Frankovic goes, the.

Speaker 2 (26:21):
Wife did it? And I'm like, what and he goes
have fun. I'm like, are you being for real? He's like,
I don't know, Maybe maybe I'm not. And then we
walked into the movie and we're like, damn it, the
wife did it.

Speaker 1 (26:35):
Odd. Anytime you see someone turning on what does it
not sixty minutes twenty twenty, you see someone tuning in
twenty twenty, just walk into the room.

Speaker 2 (26:43):
Her husband killed her. Save everybody a lot of time
now presumed innocent.

Speaker 1 (26:48):
By the way, they did a TV version of that
recently with Jake Jillenhall cracks.

Speaker 2 (26:51):
How a little different is it?

Speaker 3 (26:53):
Yeah, it is.

Speaker 2 (26:53):
My wife didn't do that one.

Speaker 1 (26:55):
I don't believe I've seen either, and now thanks to
this conversation I don't have.

Speaker 2 (26:58):
The original movie is really good.

Speaker 1 (26:59):
I'm sure even if you know the ending, it's really good. Well,
you probably will not guess it on Wake Up, Dead Man,
on Knives Out Mystery. Highly recommended, particularly over the next
couple of weeks you're putting something on over the holiday season.
A little less warm on the film Ella McKay. Ella
McKay is out in theaters. It's notable because it is

(27:21):
directed by the legendary James hall Brooks, creator of Taxi,
creator of Mary Tyler Marry Taxi, The Simpsons, co creator
of The Simpsons, a story director in his own right,
you know, as good as it gets broadcast News, won
a bunch of Oscars for terms of endearment, and he
is eighty five, still working his first directorial effort in

(27:43):
fifteen years. So great to see this icon of Hollywood
still at it. Is the movie good, you know not
everything's about being good. Everything has to be great. Who
was in it? The lead is a young actress, she
was in I think Sex Education, Emma Mackie. But it's

(28:04):
got a great Jamie Lee Curtis is in it. Albert Brooks,
isn't it. Camille non Gianni has a great supporting part.
Julie Kavner voice of Marge Simpson is the narrator. Yeah,
it's that narration you acclimate to it. The cast is great,
it's a lot of people you're happy to hang out with.

Speaker 2 (28:20):
It.

Speaker 1 (28:21):
Just I think he's a TV guy as much as
all of those great films he's made, He's a TV guy.
This feels like you watched twelve scenes from a sitcom
you weren't following. They're just throwing them in there. There's
fifteen plots. The plot seems really dumb. She's a thirty
four year old lieutenant governor. Albert Brooks is the governor.

(28:41):
He gets tapped for Obama's cabinet. It's said in two
thousand and eight, so she has to suddenly be the
governor of this unnamed state like the Simpsons, and they
leave politics out of it, which is weird. She's trying
to reconcile with her dad, she's trying to get her
brother out of the house her brother has there's just
way too.

Speaker 2 (28:59):
Much going on. Super relatable.

Speaker 1 (29:01):
Yeah, Woody Harrelson's in it. Woody Harrelson plays the dad.
It's a great cast. It's almost worth it just because
there's so many good people in it, but it falls apart.
That's Ella McKay. And by the way, I said, the
movie's Ella McKay. The actress is Emma mackee. Emma mackie
plays Ella McKay. So my mother has no chance of

(29:21):
Emma McCall, Ella mackintosh, Edwin McCain, you know the movie
with the girl m So my mother famously was trying
to say they wanted to watch a quiet place, and
she said, we're trying to watch that if they hear you,
they kill you, and it's I would know exactly what.

Speaker 6 (29:38):
I know.

Speaker 2 (29:38):
What's the movies she's talking about? Yeah, it's right.

Speaker 1 (29:41):
And the retro pick row House Christmas kicks off today.
I think we can just be definitive that muppet Christmas
Carroll is the best Christmas Carol at this point, right.
The Michael Caine one, Yeah, you know he loves there's
like a collage of interviews where he just talks about
the Bunny because he loves the Bunny so much, like
he gave a bunch of interviews like they've got this
cute little I can't do the Michael Kaine and he's

(30:02):
just like the Bunny.

Speaker 2 (30:03):
He's irresistible.

Speaker 1 (30:04):
And you know there's lots of muppets and that the
Bunny only has like one small scene. I I saw
him talking about how he realized he had to be
real to establish that the puppets were real. But if
he were real, he then had to be a psychopath
because his head accountant is a green frog and all
the other ones are rats. So he played him as
a real psychopath and it worked so for me, Like

(30:30):
the when I was a little kid, the Muppets did
a Christmas album with John John Denver.

Speaker 2 (30:35):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (30:35):
That that is like when I think of the Muppets
and Christmas, I think of first that and then second.

Speaker 2 (30:42):
River Bottom nightmare Ba.

Speaker 4 (30:44):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (30:44):
Em at Otter's drug band Christmas remains one of the
greatest accomplishments that that what's.

Speaker 2 (30:52):
His name ever came up with Jim Manson thank you? Yeah?

Speaker 11 (30:55):
Uh the John Denver stuff though, you couldn't get away
from Its.

Speaker 9 (31:13):
Just that stuff.

Speaker 2 (31:14):
It ever goes.

Speaker 1 (31:15):
Wait, like every time I hear five Golden Rings, like
me and my sister want to go because this Peggy
did that is.

Speaker 2 (31:24):
The Swedis Chef one. That's what I was waiting for.

Speaker 1 (31:26):
Oh, I think he might get one. You know who's
in that too? That was like a big hit for
a while, but then just went away. It's like Kermit's nephew.
There's a tiny little what's his name? I think it's Robin.

Speaker 3 (31:41):
Wait, Kermit's nephew.

Speaker 2 (31:42):
Y he does this one right here. I'm pretty sure
for some reason, I think it's Robin. There he was
like baby Yoda. It was like a baby cow. And
then they just did a way. We don't know what
happened to him.

Speaker 1 (31:59):
That's what I love. It's bean Bunny. I love bean
Bunny too. He's integral to the Muppet three D thing
at disney World. But Bean Bunny and Robin are redundant.
They're kind of filling the same role there. Yeah, we
needed to cut to vote one of them off the island. Yeah,
but why did I mean, why has Kermit just disavowed
any knowledge of Robin?

Speaker 2 (32:17):
What did Robin his family? Yeah? What did Robin do?

Speaker 3 (32:21):
This?

Speaker 2 (32:22):
That's so bad?

Speaker 1 (32:22):
The chet Hanks of the frog family. He's doing very problematic.
Uh yeah, Jamaican patois all right, Abby's got your news
when we.

Speaker 2 (32:34):
