Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello the Internet, and welcome to Season one, O five,
Episode two of Jo Daly's Night Guys, a production of
I Heart Radio. This is the podcast where you take
a deep dive into America's shared consciousness and say, officially
off the top, fuck Coke Industries as in the Koch Brothers,
and fuck Fox News. It's Tuesday, October twenty two, two
thousand nine. Team. My name is Jack O'Brien aka Jack O'Brian.

(00:25):

reason to smoke it and Rules and Die give us

(01:13):

for that. Tracy Chapman inspired a k. We're thrilled to
be joined in art by the hilarious and talented Tiff Stevenson.
Thank you. I'm glad you've got my rider. Request to
be introducing hilarious and talented because it's horrible to be

(01:35):
one without the other. And we also got the ice
sculpture that was shaped in your face. The candles kind
of canceling out the ice sculpture exactly. That was hard
to keep the balance going. I didn't realize how expensive
those diptique ones you wanted were a little bit more
expensive than we thought. Wild how expensive some candles are.
Diptique are the ones that you cannot justify buying one

(01:59):
for yourself. No, No, they're only yeah, I think. And
even then you're like, I'm gonna fire this on eBay, right,
just give me the cash, guys swack and then come on, man,
well if you get the big oh, I'm sorry, I
only get the little, the tiny little I got. I

(02:21):
got it. I actually I did burn one that had
a unicorn on it at Christmas, and I was like, oh,
that's nice. They do smell incredible, But I mean, is
it eighty pounds worth of incredible? I don't think so. No,
I'm surprised no one has just mimicked the scent. Do
they have Yankee candle? I mean Yankee, I mean Yankee
Candle does a great gingerbread? Man, Well, now be my

(02:44):
favorite store at the mall. They should just do one
called expensive. It's a just millennial. Two bros. That two
bros diptique. I mean I went to a person, a
person of means home and it was covered in those
things like smells great. Man, what's wrong with glade plug ins? Alright?
What's wrong with glade? Oh? You know it's my favorite scents.

(03:06):
Oh now we're too good for lysol crispingcent. I will
say that Ivy restaurant has glade cans of glades in
the bathroom. There's no expect the Ivy to have some
fancy ship but no glade. Shout out to glade, shout out.
Is it a special scent for the Ivy. No, you're

(03:28):
thinking it's just like a floral just had like floral arrangements,
bespoke glade. I would love to have a bespoke glade
from shout out to S. C. Johnson. Were doing it
all right? If we're gonna get to know you a
little bit better in a moment. First, we're gonna tell
our listeners a couple of things we're talking about. We're
going to talk about how the UK, your home country,

(03:50):
told the Chick fil A to do one. Get the
funk out of here. We're gonna talk about the whistleblower scandal,
something Holing as it relates to that, Fox News and
Senate Republicans as they relate to that. We're gonna check
back in with coverage of Bernie Sanders campaign, just the

(04:12):
Democratic field in general. We're gonna talk about Mitt Romney's
burner account, which is exactly as as wild as you
would expect um. And we're gonna check in with the
weekend box office and a trend uh that we're noticing

(04:32):
when it comes to zombie movies and America versus the
rest of the world. But first, Tiff, we like to
ask our guest, what's something from your search history that's
revealing about who you are. Something from my search history was,
just before I left l A, I searched how to
come down from a massive high to prepare. No, it

(04:56):
wasn't to prepare, it was in the midst of it.
So listen, it's very different here. The stuff that you have,
I was given. I was gifted some after I did
a show at the comedy Store. Have something called speed weed,
which I think is not how quickly it works, but
they called it speed weed. It's called speed weed. I
think it's how quickly they deliver. And I'm not a

(05:17):
weed smoker, right, so I don't know. It had these
two little tubes of pre rolled splits in them. One
was something called Grand Dowdy Purple. Okay, all right, Grand
Dadded purple. I believe that children call. So there was
one of those, and then just another branded speed weed one.

(05:39):
And I don't smoke at home. And so here's the
first thing to remember. Important to know that we if
people smoke weed at home, they put it with tobacco
on a split, right, So that's that's so I decide,
after having had this for a week, that I'm going
to go up on the roof of the place that
I'm staying and and smoke it burn it down. So

(05:59):
I have like two puffs and I'm like, oh, I
don't smoke cigarettes. This is gross. It doesn't work. So
there's a guy on the roof. I give him the spliff.
So I'm like, he's give him from yeah, and he
was like, oh, sure you don't want it, and I
was like, no, no, no, it's fine. So nothing had happened.
Then I get back into the apartment and like fifteen
minutes later, I have a complete and utter freak out.

(06:20):
It's like I've dropped acid. I don't know what's happening.
But it becomes very middle aged very quickly. You know,
I start tidying the entire flat. I'm basically almost start
my tax return. I'm having a paranoid freak out. So
I'm googling how do I come down for this massive high?
And then one of the things it recommends is that
I chew on a peppercorn. Neil Young recommends, if you're

(06:44):
having a paranoid high, chewing on a peppercorn. So we
go into my friend's kitchen and there is no there's
a packet of white powder. So I snort that yes.
And this is the point that my fiance said to me,
you made that bit up? And I was like, can
I reiterate? I was fucking I didn't. I just I
thought that would like, I just where was it? Like?

(07:04):
Was that in his dischen? Yeah, in his kitchen. So
I snorted that that didn't work. I messaged my friend
and what should I do? And he said, you need
o J And I was like me, like, I'm staying
in Koreatown, Like I don't know that I want to
go out walking. It's sketchy. I don't really never way
around and lives in Las Vegas. Yeah, I was gonna say, yeah,
a blond woman wandering around l A asking for O J.

(07:27):
So yeah, So that was my Google search was to
try and come down. It sounds like an adventure. Sounds
like all the things were told, the worst things. It
feels like I was being trolled. Yeah, I feel like
Neil Young wasing with. But I got a packet of
cream of tartar and I mean you can snort things

(07:48):
that are really like funk up your sinuses. Was it nine? Yeah,
it was fine. It didn't say to snort the powder.
It said to chew on a peppercorn and you find
some white powder and panic snorting. A panic snorting is
always a great place to be. That's a good indicator.

(08:11):
So it would like clear my mind or something like
like a snuff or something. I was like, you know,
just something, just a changer. Yeah, yeah, my perception. The
other thing this was definitely trolling, was someone said sometimes
it's helpful to chew on something to like ground you.
Maybe some nuts, and there were some almonds and I
had the driest mouth and so I put these nuts

(08:33):
and it was like I was chewing on like wall.
Then I watched Lethal Weapons three and cried for about
an hour and a half. Is that the one whe
they're making fake money? It's the one where Joe Pesci
is blonde yes, and Rene Russo I think comes comes
they're making fake Chinese money or there's a chin that's

(08:56):
never get them straight? Three? It has a really good
Eric Clapton in Colebo opening and opening that must have been. Yeah,
that was I was sort of crying when Joe Peschi
thought he was dying and he said he's been shot,
and I was like, yeah, I could get shot. So
the movie caused you to cry. It wasn't It wasn't
just like a powerful performance all around existential crisis. It

(09:19):
was the power of Lethal Weapon three. I'd like to
say it was the power of lethal weapons all around.
It was like what am I doing? And it lasted
for about three hours. Yeah, um, so I won't be
making that mistake. When I was too young, my dad
bought me and my sister tickets to go see Lethal
Weapon three while he took my younger sister to see
fern Gully, and we literally got pulled out of the

(09:44):
theater for being too young. Yeah, somebody was like the
kids children at Lethal Weapon three, and so we had
to watch fern Gully and uh I was so I
was inordinately uh into Lethal Weapon three because it was
like the four A Bidden Fruit, the movie that Avatar
Rippeduff Frengerly. Yeah, yeah, not Lethal Weapon through. Now, could

(10:07):
you imagine what is something you think is overrated? Oh? Overrated?
Not being pregnant. Yeah, I've never been pregnant, purely because
I got my period sharing is caring just yesterday and

(10:29):
I've been on a long hall flight and I always
complain about it, but I realized the other possibility is
just being pregnant, so um so yeah. So also, last
time I was here, I am. I went to my
friend's baby shower and she'd been having really bad morning sickness.
Part of me sort of went just so I could be,
for the first time in Hollywood, the skinniest person in

(10:49):
the room. It was just all pregnant. Yeah. But yeah,
like you know, it seems like a lot of people now.
I don't know whether it's because of my age, and
my friends are like kind of when they're late that
he's having pregnancies, but they're all getting like super super
bad morning sickness, and yeah it's lasting forever. So so actually,
you know underrated, um not having morning something? Are you?

(11:15):
Do you want to have a child at some point?
I have a step son a step mom, So yeah,
I had to leave my castle for a couple of
hours and my enchanted mirror, So I do I do?
I do have a step son, and yeah it's something
that i've sort of you know, I'm not trying, but
I'm also not not trying, which in a way is

(11:37):
kind of not trying. Right, But if you're like, hey, God,
if you're saying or university, it's going to happen, then right,
But I'm not. I'm not feeling positive movement towards it,
seeing my friends that having them. Also, everyone lies to
women about how painful the birth is, Like everyone says
it's going to be fine. I think that's once You've

(11:58):
never heard anyone said it's brutal. It's the worst thing
women tell each other. I think, like, oh, no, it
will be. And also the brain, I think blocks out
how bad it is, like so you don't remember it.
Because my memory of our first child's like my wife
being in labor with our first kid and her memory

(12:20):
are like totally different. I'm like, it is the worst thing,
Like we should never do that. She's like, no, it
wasn't that bad. And I think it's like the brain
like provides a chemical to just be like you're not
gonna want to remember any of this. Um, let's do
it again. Huh yeah uh yeah. So Miles, were you
suggesting like with the putting it up to God, that

(12:42):
just like a miraculous conception for God truly, and then
you have a story you can sell to the sun.
I think no, it's funny because it's funny with a
lot of the women in my social group who have
had children, they're all like, it's it will feel like
your about he's ripping open. I've not heard many people

(13:02):
do the papering over of like sure it's painful, It's
like no, yeah, stays long, it's it's an event horizon. Literally. Yeah.
What are something you think is underrated? Oh? Did I
do over overrated? Not being pregnant? Did I say underrated
for that one? I don't know. Did I forget what

(13:22):
I am? Underrated? Underrated periods? Yeah? Underrated underrated period slash
not being pregnant? Overrated politeness. Politeness overrated because and I
think my Britishness was part of me. There's a couple
of reasons, my Britishness, also my femaleness. I'm always kind

(13:43):
of being taught to be polite and respectful, and I've
realized it doesn't really get you anywhere. And on my
flight on the way here, I am came from New
York earlier, on just this morning, in fact, and I
was paying for my flight, so I got on the plane,
I turned right. I don't like to turn right politically
on a plane, no matter what. Right. But so I

(14:05):
I you know, I booked myself into economy or coaches
you call it, and I was sandwiched between two men.
And I've decided now that I'm too polite to men
that I don't know. I think that's one of the things.
So if I know a guy, then that's fine. But
if I don't know them, I'm just going to go
in with hostile aggressiveness because men of a certain age, Yeah, yeah,

(14:29):
men of a certain men, men men, white men of
a certain age that I don't know. There's just a
sense of like, um, what's the word I'm looking for,
Like entitlement, expectation confidence. So just on my plane today,
I was sat in the mid sandwich between these two guys,
both of whom were so rude to the air stewardess

(14:52):
on the plane, and I was like, God, you guys
a dick, like just being very curt or just okay,
I need this girl. So the stewardess was like, could
you We were on an exit row. So the guy
in front of me just kept moaning relentlessly because his
seat wouldn't recline, and they were like, what's because you're
on an exit row. And he was like, but other
people's seats were clined, and she was like, they're not.
They they're broken where people have been trying to lead

(15:14):
back And I was so tempted to kind of go
it says when you book, because I was looking to
put that says limited recline on your seat says you
can't recline. So he was going on and on, and
then the guy on my right was asleep and I
wanted to go to the bathroom. Time of the month,
and so rather than wake him up, I did this
perform this kind of ballet trying to get overhead exactly

(15:37):
like that. It was beautiful and I brushed his knee
with my foot and then he was like, I would
rather you wake me up than kick me in the knee.
Did it? Yes? Yes? And I was like yeah. And
then the other guy like in a fit of peek,
when the ed stewardess came down and said, can you

(15:58):
put your bag underneath the seat because you're in the
you're in the emergency exit, and he put it and
she was like, no, you's got to go right underneath,
and he kicked it like a petulant his own bag,
his own bag. He kicked his own bag. So I
was like, do you know what, why am I being
polite like dancing around these dickheads, these like a titled,
middle aged miserable men who sat on either side of

(16:19):
I'm being polite, like politeness is over right. I should
have just been a bit I'm taking the space right
your rude, I'd like to think like, first off, r
I p your elbows, especially with like I've noticed this
even with among men, right, they are like older dudes
who are trying and use like seniority to like look
at you and be like I'm the older guy, so

(16:40):
my elbow is going to be right and I'm like
the funk up, like, watch us fuck have an elbow
fight on this fucking plane. But I feel like that's
the first thing that because I try and be aware
to like, I don't want to full I mean, first
of all, economy, you cannot fully spread your like that anyway.
So I think the most space you can kind of
have is with your elbows. But you gotta be you know,
you gotta be aware of the there's other people next

(17:00):
to you. So just staying you know, fucking stands your ground.
I feel like people who sit down and immediately put
their elbows on the thing hard probably the same people
who like will never admit that they're wrong in an argument,
Like it just feels like it's the same muscle that's
just like I win this one. What's just an overall
it just speaks to a mentality of scarcity, right, That's

(17:23):
what it is. Because you're going to know, if there's
not enough room for me, then I will clip. I
will take everything, because if I don't, then I will
have nothing. I didn't have an elbow. I was just
sat with my arms into the side. I didn't have
either side is that gang? Let us know what are
your tactics to subvert the patriarchy on airplane flights. I mean, yeah,
I bet, I bet the subtle warfare, Uh, stewardess is

(17:44):
their tactic is farting on them? Oh? Crop dusting? Crop?
Is that? Dude? Did the flight attendants create the term first?
Or because crop dusting is a time honor to I
just know that that is a piece of lingo in
the airline industry. Airline industry with I think David Sedaris

(18:05):
talked about it in one of his essays. I did
think about because I was withholding. Yeah, you know, I'm thinking,
why am I holding what you are holding in your personality?
Holding my fault? What you do? You fart and then
you you get the other guy and you blame the
person I'd rather Yeah, I think this guy just farted.

(18:26):
Believe this guy's like what I'm like, I don't know, man,
we both smell it. What you should do is get like,
get up and as I'm going to the bathroom, do
it described us? So they so I move on, knock knock,
open up the doors real. Uh. And finally, what is
a myth with something people think is true? You know

(18:46):
to be false? Oh? Lining outside your lips makes them
look bigger when everyone can just see you put lip
line around. Well, my friend said to me recently, she
was like, you're the only person I know that lip
line inside their lips. And I was like, I don't
do it inside my lips. I do it on my lip, right,
But like, either just except that God gave you that

(19:09):
thin lip and that's it, or you know, go get injected.
But like, the liner is not fooling anyone. This big
like bit above here, filled in with all of the
gloss is not fooling anyone into thinking your lips are bigger.
Everyone could just see the I think it only works
for photos at a certain distance where you might be
able to get away, because when you see it in person,
you're like, they must know it's just on their upper lip. Yeah,

(19:33):
but I guess you know, some people don't want to
accept their Kenneth Branna lips. And I feel like, Kenneth
bash your thin lipped. Ye. Well, my mom, who's a
massive anglophile and like I always grew up anything that
was like the BBC, like Prime Suspect anything, always watched
it with her. And the thing whenever Kenneth Branna would
an she'd be like I love his acting. He has
no lips. He has and that was the first time

(19:56):
I know. I'm like, oh wow, that is possible to
have nearly year old lips. Yeah. Yeah, it's impossible to
have a stiff upper lip. You horizontal line across the mouth, yeah,
like a smiley face. All right, let's talk really briefly
about Chick fil A attempting to expand nationwide. For a while,
they were like only in the South, and then they

(20:17):
spread across America, and now they're trying or recently tried
in two thousands, seventeen, I guess international, baby International, yep,
And how did that go? They opened up on October
tenth in Reading in England and it only took nine
days for them to figure out they probably won't be
expanding in the UK. Nine Yeah. So you know, I

(20:40):
didn't even know because I would have gone Chick fil like, yeah, well,
I would have gone to Redding. I almost would have
gone to Redding. Oh really, So what happened was they
opened it at the Oracle Mall, and essentially the like
a few like a lot of activists came out and
basically said, this is fucking absurd, Like this company like
has a very dark past of living too anti lgbt

(21:01):
Q groups, whether it's you know, like the Coalition of
like Christian Athletes or other things like as late as
twenty seventeen, they've been caught giving money to these kinds
of Oh I didn't know that. Yeah, so that's not
why I would have been going to reading And they're
awful activity. No, right, so then after that, I mean,
credit where its due. A lot of the people said

(21:23):
they came out, they said you may. So after they
announced that they were closing, the activists said, we will
still continue to basically protest outside off here until you leave,
because they said about six months from now they'll just
be closing. They Chick fil A did say we were
actually always only going to be running for six months.
So like that's sort of how it is up up
in reading, not even London. Reading is like this armpit

(21:47):
bit of the M four. Have you been to reading? No?
I mean I know about the football club, but I don't.
I couldn't tell you what's there. Aside, occasionally Americans will
call it reading. Yeah, we have reading in Pennsylvania, so
I mean people who like reading. No, this is no, wait,
how's reading, pa spelled I thought rose A D D
I n G no no no. Reading p A is
also spelled like reading. I feel like such a fool

(22:09):
because I know they have a wonderful pagoda Asian pavilion
in reading. Yeah exactly. But one of the activists said, quote,
you may be closing down in six months time, but
we have a message for you. You will not be
opening anywhere else in the UK. And if we do
see you on our soil, we will stand up and
we will challenge you again. So credit credit to the UK.

(22:31):
I mean Americans have you know, we were People's consumption
habits are built on holding their nose and being like
is this bad for doing good protest At the moment,
We've got a lot going on. You're you're in practice.
What are their companies in the UK, Like, I'm wondering
if this if this is a specifically American phenomenon where

(22:54):
you have like companies with really fucked up backward politics
like with that ye British patrol um weird a say,
but there Yeah, yeah, I mean there's a few and
people do kind of I think I talked about this
last time I was on your show. Actually, you know,
there are companies that kind of do this big getting
involved with pride, but we do our contracts or you know,

(23:16):
certain people are like, yeah, we believe in you know
a lot of it is on pride and you know
how many people do you actually employ from this community
or is this just some kind of like way for
you to get some nice run stuff? Is the worst
version a company being opportunistic than sort of like the figure,
like the person behind the company being like, oh, this
person is like a despicable Well I think we did,

(23:37):
you know, and I tried for a long time actually
in the UK, and then my sort of I guess
your morals sometimes have to be in line with what
you can afford. Sometimes you need to be able to
afford morals. So you know, at times of my life
where I've been more broke, I'm like, oh, I can't
afford to you know, not oh I've got a voucher
for Starbucks because Starbucks was one of the places because

(23:58):
they weren't paying taxs. So Starbucks and Amazon for a
long time, I like kind of held off doing anything
and they've just sort of slipped back into the So
I guess it's a we're exporting this because I think
part of the rich people. The pattern two in the
US is if you get powerful enough in business, then
you can start exerting influence on politics and that's when

(24:20):
people start being like oh because yeah, anyway, yeah, so
we do. But people do. I mean obviously if they
if they turned up to protest the Chick fil A,
that does kind of happen. But we've lost a lot
of our independent businesses to the same as here. I
suppose you've got strip malls here, which I find odds
that you have a taxi down miss next to a
bakery you get a six squirrel wallet. Yeah, but but

(24:46):
we have, you know, like we we've lost all those
kind of small independence. The protesting tends to be around,
you know, stopping these chain places. Actually we did Lush.
There was a place called Into, which is shopping center
in the UK and Lush, who I do a podcast
within the UK. They do quite a lot of activism.
I call them like ethical Fight Club because they like

(25:08):
make soap and bath bombs, but they also do They
did this whole thing about undercover police who like started
spy cops, who started families with people that are infiltrating,
Like so yeah, they they and they're like anti animal
testing and they do all this stuff to help refugees,
and they got when they had their spy Cops campaign.
They had all these big posters like kind of going

(25:31):
do you really trust the police in their stores? And
then the shopping centers like try to shut them down,
and the police, like the Metropolitan Police in the UK,
were like, this is outrageous short undermining us, and they're
like this goes on. We've you know, we were behind
uncovering this campaign. So the shopping centers then tried to
shut them down. So there were two sides. There were
people who are protesting, saying this is bad for the

(25:53):
for the police in the UK, and then there were
people sort of the activists on the side of Lush
kind of going they're just saying this and also shot
pink centers going we can't have that display in our
shop because it's a political statement. Like you sell newspapers,
you sell newspapers, you can't say that you have no
political affiliation in your shopping centers. You're going to start
restricting what people can and can't sell and display. So

(26:15):
that was that was an example of that kind of
yeah political you know crossover where the lines become blurred.
I think awesome. In the UK, the appetite for like
for chick fil it is a little bit different, right
because there's already chicken shops, Like there's a culture of eating,
like you have your chicken shops, and I think people
that's already that's where they get their chicken. We have

(26:36):
Chicken Shop Date, we have a web series a chicken
shop and and and chat and also who hosts that
is so funny. Chicken Cottage is a chain that we've got.
We've also got Nando's. Nando's yes, yea, so you know
we are We've got all of the peris yes, So
I guess for if you want like hate filled American chicken,

(26:57):
it's like we're good. We have options because we don't
even have Perry Perry Chicken here. Well also as well,
there's a thing I was reading about this the other
day with Brexit. There's a certain type of antibiotic that
you're allowed to use in farms here UM that I
think we'll be affected by Brexit that at the moment

(27:18):
farmers aren't using UM. But if Brexit happens and then
we start getting into trouble with supply lines and everything
else that there's a possibility I don't know where getting
our infected. Yeah yeah, antibiotic filter and then the super
bugs come for us. All a love a superbug, one

(27:39):
of my favorites. All Right, we're gonna take a quick break.
We'll be right back. Andrew back, and let's check in
with the whistleblower scandals. Okay, and impeachment, the impeachment inquiry.

(28:03):
The New York Times did a poll of swing state
voters and found that there's narrow support for the impeachment inquiry,
but narrow opposition to impeachment and removal. Uh So, basically
they think that they should look into it, but as
of yet, the fact that he has admitted to the

(28:26):
thing they're looking into is not enough to remove him.
So they're just like looking for something worse. I guess
I think it's a lot of it, too, is waiting
for more Republicans to say something out loud to signal
other people. It's like, wait, what people on my team
also thinking it's bad? But yeah, you know, part of
this is what's the whole plan of the White House

(28:47):
is just to make this process as long as possible.
It's hard. I mean, you could get momentum building at
a feverish space, or if you stall out, then it
becomes like very pronounced in maybe these first three weeks,
and who knows what it looks like down the road.
But this week we've got some people step into the
mic to testify more so, but like, what are they
going to tell us? I mean, that's the thing. It's

(29:08):
a two part strategy. One is to stretch it out,
and too is to have admitted to it right away
and just be like, yeah, that's what we did, but
it's not that big a deal. I think this is
why with as they get more testimony, and that's why
they have these closed door tested hearings, is to basically
they're playing you know, you know right, They don't want
you to know what cards they have untill it's too
late to just clean you out. But I don't know

(29:29):
if that's even gonna be possible because the Democrats canna
fuck it all up. But uh, this week, Bill Taylor,
who is I think it is his name, Ambassador Taylor,
the one in the text message thread, who is the
one who said I think it's absurd to hold up
aid for a political purpose. That guy will be testifying
this week I'm sure he'll have a very interesting perspective

(29:50):
on how he sees everything completely. I mean, I do
think the message they need to try and kind of
keep hammering the Democrats just that this scandal is about
him cheating in the election. Like I think it's too
easy for people to sit back and be like, well,
you know, we'll we'll figure it out during the election.

(30:12):
Because this that's what it shouldn't be. That that is
like a release valve the election. That should be seen
as like a deadline by which point we need to
have this adjudicated, because otherwise we're going to have an
unfair election. But you know, I think the good thing
is that as more there are, things are still coming out,

(30:32):
Like we're seeing like lev Parness or whatever, one of
those Russian guys that Giuliani piled around with like he
can he was considered to be part of Trump's legal team,
maybe informally, like he was at a victory dinner after
the like the Mueller report, with Jay Sekulo and Rudy
Giuliani and then like one of the other guys has
a handwritten note or like a note from Trump saying

(30:53):
like it's he's a great friend. So I don't know.
And then there's a lot of connections obviously to Russia
with these two men. But you know, it gets it
gets thicker and mark here by the day. So what
what happened over the weekend on on Fox with the
Senate Republicans. Well, so again, Mick mulvanny on Thursday basically

(31:13):
came out and said, yeah, I we quid pro quote
the funk out of this Ukraine thing. It happens all
the time, you know, And everyone was like, oh my god,
really you just said this out loud. Um. And then
then like hours later, I think, because he realized he
had said it out loud, he tried to put a
statement that completely obscured what he said. It's like, that's
actually not what I said, even though that's what the

(31:35):
sentiment I was agreeing to, and on yeah, exactly, that's
actually sands quid sands quo. Nobody has had as much
of an out as he did, like and a journalist
raised his hand and was like, you just described correct
quid pro quo. Yes, that's right, we do it all
the time, um. And so it's been a really tough

(31:58):
thing to defend because his he he said it, there's
no way to really spin that any other way, but
they tried. Uh So, Jim Jordan's, oh the Ohio state
wrestling coach or you know whatever, he's from Ohio big
tea party, uh man, about destroying democracy. He was on
Janine Pierro destroying town. Um, he was on Janine Pierro,

(32:22):
and she tried to sort of give him an opportunity
to be like yeah, and and and Mick mulvaney stuff.
That's a big nothing burger. Huh oh man. It's like
I said, it's hard to defend something when the person
said it out loud, and this defense is something else.
Ask one more thing, what what about Mick mulvaney. I mean,
what what's gonna come of all that? Jim Well, I

(32:46):
mean Mick mcclear up his uh statement, He had a
you know another statement that he made later in the day.
I think, look, everything we've heard through the Testament, we've
heard there has never been anyone who said that there's
always never been a linkage between any military assistance and
any type of activity on investigation that has been clear throughout.

(33:07):
That's not clear at all. It's the opposite. So again,
I think that's why he had well, but he didn't
know what to do because on its base, it's everything.
The facts just betrayed that sentiment. So then, uh, the
circus continued. You had Mike Pompeo who went on George

(33:28):
Stephanopolis's show, and he was just he didn't I don't
even know what to say. He was basically he was
presented the things that McK mulvaney said and tried to
spin his way out of it and really could not.
So do you agree then with Senator mcksseie that would
have been inappropriate to withhold the military aid and unless

(33:48):
this political investigation was pursued. George, I'm telling you what
I was involved with. I'm telling you what I saw
transpiring and how President Trump was working to make the evaluation.
But what was appropriate to provide this assistance? But that's
what I'm what I'm asking is would it be appropriate
to condition that, George. I'm not going to get into
hypotheticals and secondary things based on someone what someone else

(34:10):
has said. George, you would have never done it when
you were a spokesman. I'm not going to do it,
except it's not hypothetical. We saw the chief of staff.
It is George, you just said if George, you just said,
if this happened, that is by definition the chief of
staff said it did Georgia, you asked me, if this happened,
it's a hypothetical. So that was a real sa the

(34:33):
process related to that. You've got that. I mean, look again,
he's saying it's not a hypothetical. He said it, and
he's and again, I think this is the only way
they can do it. They have to just narrowly argue
some point that is completely different than the larger issue. Well,
you're saying is a hypothetical. We're not here to debate
the definition of a hypothetical. Thank you, though, because he
said it, it is no longer a hypothetical. He said,

(34:55):
that's what it was. And again, I just want to
circle back, because who better to offend himself then Mick mulvaney,
because as if he couldn't dig his holes deeper, he
fucking he kicks off his interview with Chris Wallace on
Fox On Fox Credit to Chris Wallace, He's starting to
have had it with all the bullshit because he's, you know,

(35:16):
he's he's actually doing this really great thing where he'll
he'll have them just do their lie or whateverthing like,
what about this they'll lie? And he says, okay, I'd
like to show you this. What about that they'll lie? Okay,
I'd like to and just like deep it dar dig
deeper and deeper. So this is when he goes on
Chris Wallace's show, and this is one of his first
appearances since admitting to it in the White House briefing,

(35:38):
and he kicks it off with just, you know, master
master of rhetoric. This man wanting now for an exclusive
interview White House ch Phil Staff, Nick Mulvanny Mick, Welcome
back to Fox News Sunday. Good morning. Yeah, I flinched
a little bit because that's what people are saying that
I said. But I didn't say that. But I'm looking
forward to the conversation. All right, let's have the conversation.
Why here's my first question. Why did you say in

(36:01):
that briefing the President Trump had ordered a quid pope
quote quid pro quo that investigating the Democrats say to Ukraine,
depended on investigating the Democrats. Why do you say that? Again,
that's what I said, That's what people said that I said.
Here's what I said. I'll say it again and hopefully
people will listen this time. There were two reasons that
we held up the Okay, that's that's not what I said.

(36:23):
That's what people are saying that I said. So I'll
say it here it again. No one is again. Your
is alling yeah, And this is where we are, right.
I think this is sort of the this is where
we're being pulled into, where you have the foot soldiers
of the administration out here sort of trying to publicly
agree with this like Trump created narrative of what is

(36:43):
actually happening, and the truth that the president has is
now the one that they'll have to go out with
and try and argue. But this is just so difficult
trying of gaslight them all into saying that's not what
I said when there's empirical evidence to show so. And
then as the interview goes on, clearly make mulveny is
having trouble just defending himself. Chris Wallace effectively corners him again,

(37:07):
and you'll see mulvany just, you know, wriggle and wiggle
his way out. Did you say that investigating the Democrats
was one of the three conditions? Not too that you
had just said that you had talked about investigating the
Democrats was part of the quid pro quote. You also said,
if i'm it was part of the Justice Department investigation

(37:27):
into the origins of the Russia probe. But the fact is,
not only did the press think you said it. Here's
what statement that was put out by a senior Justice
Department official if the White House was withholding aid in
regards to the cooperation of any investigation of the Department
of Justice. That is news to us. Everybody thinks that

(37:49):
that's what you said, and you didn't. You said right there,
three points not to have a couple of different things.
You again said just a few seconds ago that I
said there was a quid pro quote. Never use that language,
because there there is not a quid proke. You were
half by Jonathan carl Is that you've described a quid
pro quo when you said that happens all the time.
And again, reporters will use their language all the time,
so my language never said. But let's get to the

(38:10):
heart of the matter. Go back and look at that.
They will use their Yeah English, what does that mean?
I guess, But you know, I think his point is
for for the fox, you know, Uh, cave dwellers that
are fucking watching. They use their language, which is the
language of the liberal media elite trying to make us
look bad, even though the point was made very clearly

(38:32):
by this journalist and I agreed with it. So, you know,
I think this is kind of where we're seeing now
because when there's a new poll that came out that
Republicans that actually watch Fox News as their primary news source,
percent of them oppose impeachment in removing Trump, right, that's
so like, And then I guess if you're a non

(38:54):
Fox watching conservative or you watch other forms of media,
you're only opposed, right, So it's odd to see the
people who are fully bought in on Fox, like it's
we're truly at that thing where he was like, yeah,
I could shoot a guy, and for like, it's it's
true he could shoot somebody. They don't give a funk.
And also Evangelical Christians, they're they're in ship Trump could
do that could get them to not support him. Yeah,

(39:16):
so yeah, these are kind of all the the forces
at work, But again that's a small base. Like even
if with those people that's not enough to reelect him.
That's where you kind of got to start looking at
what the billionaires do, because if it's either Bernie or Warren,
I wonder if their support would change either, because those
people are existential threats to their wealth. So yeah, let's

(39:36):
talk about Mitt Romney killer. Mitt Romney silence like Mitt
Romney moving, silence like Lasagna. Uh he Okay. I just
want to say shout out to Ashley Fineberg on Slate
because she this is this story is about Mitt Romney
having a burner Twitter account to lurk on Twitter. She

(39:58):
also found that Jim Comey had one too a few
years ago also, so she's she's got a she's got
a knack for finding these burner accounts. But it all
came out of an interview that Romney did in the
Atlantic when he was asked about this Trump tweet where
he attached a hashtag impeachment Romney and Uh. Romney responding goes, yeah,

(40:19):
He's like, I look out of it. I look at Twitter.
That's kind of what he does. But then he says, quote,
what what do they call me a lurker? He said, yeah,
so apparently that tipped people off, and being like, wait,
so if he's lurking, he's doing stuff with this other account,
and it turns out he has an online persona Pierre
de Lecto, where no, it's a blank, it's just an

(40:43):
egg egg avatar, Like you you have no avatar? Yeah,
the egg hatches always hatches into a troll though, egg.
So he's a He's like, well, it's funny because when
you look at what he does on the account, it's
not you'd wish there were some hot takes in it,
but it's really just sort of even handed, like I
I disagree with the president on this, or like you

(41:05):
should read all the facts. What else could the Senate
have done in this situation? It's like, really mit Romney's
version of hot takes. It's like, you know, mayonnaise is
too spicy for mit Roney, Like that's his version of
hot food my stomach and nuts. I don't use black
pepper either. Oh and then the best part was a
few journalists were like, is this your account? His response says,

(41:29):
MOI yeah, what a fucking way to admit like using
he's a just yeah, you know, Peter, yeah, uh so
he's uh, you know again, this is just funny to
watch how this is sort of part and parcel of
this thing where I'm curious to know where the upstanding

(41:52):
people are in the military, in the Republican Party who
aren't willing to say the right thing out loud at
the right time, not on a burner account, not on
a burner account. You know, there was a Republican like
Pat Rooney in Florida on Friday. He was like, you
know what, I'm actually open to possibly thinking about impeachment
and I was like, oh my god. Really. Then Saturday

(42:14):
he says, I will be retiring, oh ship. So there's
too many people on the sidelines right now who are
are saying the right thing that have I mean has
a little bit of impact, but not as much as
someone who is working right now in the administration or
in the Pentagon. I mean, now you're starting to see
more military people like grumble a little bit out loud. Yeah,

(42:39):
But again, for him, it happened once he left, you know.
And and even with General William mccraven he wrote an
op ed. I mean, I'm not going to really ding
him for that, but again, you see a lot of
takes that are coming once they leave. And I understand
the military is all about being subordinate, and you don't
want to speak out of turn. But at the same time,
I believe that being a patriot, right, if you're of

(43:00):
this very idealized view of it, is about making sacrifices
for the good of the country if you are in
a position to do that. Um, And there are moments
where you think like maybe they're maybe they're just waiting
for something, but you'd wish there are there. We will
see more conviction coming out of the right at some point,
but it's tough when you have most people just staying

(43:20):
silent on the issue to avoid trying to outwardly defend it,
or you know, fully buying into the gas lighting campaign. Yeah,
I mean, I feel like this is also a good
indication of just how much Trump has taken over the
Republican Party. Like they it's like full buying, they are.

(43:40):
Their entire existence basically depends on Trump maintaining because I mean, like,
once the jig is up and everybody's like, yeah, that
was a corrupt, hateful like agenda that you guys were
going along with there for a while, Like where do
they go from there? So I feel like it just
kind of yeah, they'll probably just ignore it and pretend

(44:02):
it never happened. What would like a crisis pr person
tell the Republicans like post Trump, it's like, okay, so
how are we going to rehabilitate fucked image after that one? Yeah,
I mean we already saw they were like, okay, we
have to. Like in two thousand and twelve, after the
Romney loss, there was a pr uh like all Points memo.
I think it was actually written by just a Republican

(44:25):
who was like, we need to shift towards strategically, like
being more moderate and you know, all the things that
would actually make sense with their shifting demographics, and uh,
they weren't. The other way, is there someone across like
them having extra accounts or who they following stuff like
with the Giuliani group of like all of those accounts

(44:48):
that he's following, those conspiracy theory accounts and stuff, Right,
is there? What is there? Like, is there someone who's
across that who holds them to account for it to
just say that personal accounts and oh, you mean like
saying why do you follow these things? I mean Giuliani
obviously like he follows a lot of interesting conspiracy not

(45:08):
in the fucking just straight out conspiracy theorists and things
like that. Completely this information um and I mean, as
as far as we've seen, he is undeterred by anything.
And I don't know if there are really there's nothing
illegal about it, but I think at a certain point
what happens is it's saying like you're following this, and
then they're going to say, oh right, because it's not
the take of the liberal mainstream media that this is

(45:31):
a conspiracy. It's just very disingenuous defenses of their where
they're getting their information. The conspiracies are wild, right, Oh yeah, absolutely,
is the one that Hillary is some kind of highlander
that's killing off Yeah, killing off opponents, insorbing their powers exactly, yep.
And then the lizard shape shifter also right, Obama was

(45:51):
a shape shifter for sure. Oh definitely reptilian shape. Ruce
Bader Ginsberg died months ago. And it's being literally and
figuratively weakened at knees, yeah, or want to look at it,
maybe as a body pretending to be Can you imagine
getting that gig? Look, I'm old, I know, I look

(46:12):
like I don't know anything about the law. Okay, just
fucking winging it, Okay, right, yeah exactly. Uh so you
lost your voice? Oh all right, we're gonna take a
quick break, we'll be right back, and we're back, and

(46:40):
the box office over the weekend. So I think number
one was Maleficent, Number two the Joker. Both movies that
did like the standard split right now is like six
to seventy of your box office is overseas, uh foreign,
you know box office, and then thirty two less than

(47:02):
thirty percent is made domestically in America. But I know
it's zombie Land too came out and it's domestic verse
international split was like the opposite. Basically, it's international was
in the twenties. Um, and so that that made me wonder.
I went back like that the original Zombie Land and

(47:24):
it was also a similar split. UM. World War Z
had more of a traditional split, which makes sense because
it was more of like a international disaster movie than
what we think of a zombie movie. Brad pitt right
with Brad Pitt. Um. But it basically seems like there's
like fast moving zombies which are actually formidable like monsters

(47:49):
and monster movies are popular everywhere, like a normal disaster
movie or a horror movie, but like the slow moving,
like groaning zombies that we like are familiar with, that
are like the stereotypical zombies, like nobody likes them anywhere
except America. They like don't play anywhere else. I let
me zoom out real quick. I think that's sort of

(48:11):
like the take of American history, right, beating up on
slow moving weaker, right, and then flexing being like, yo,
you saw that ship? I did. I just bomb the
funk out of these kids or whatever the funk it is,
Like I think there is like weakness, like, oh, that's sport,
you know what I mean, Like, yeah, fuck it, Like
I want to feel super powerful, and I think maybe
that's the difference is like, no, that's an opponent, these

(48:33):
fast fucking freak track stars, not like the like inanimate
objects you can just beat the ship out of. I
don't know. I think there's something in it a little
bit Shaun of the Dead, because I think was more
of an even split even though it was made in
England by British. Yeah, it kind of really mocked the

(48:55):
idea of how slowly they were, the way they're killing
them with throwing the quotes and going through them, you know,
because it was it was very slow. Yeah, No, it's
I think that's a good I mean, I think it's
one of the best zombie films. But yeah, because of
it's like sort of sober eed, like, yeah, how those
monsters quote unquote right, yeah uh. And we we've talked

(49:18):
before about how inherently political it is if you look
at the breakdown of zombie movies versus vampire movies that
are being made in America, Um, zombie movies tend to
be made more when Republicans are in office, and vampire
movies more when Democrats are in office. And it's because
the theory goes that vampires are sort of represent the

(49:42):
right wings fear about the left, that there's like these
kind of European sexually ambiguous, thin, fancy, pale monsters that
are like trans seduce you and then you know, with
their socialism, right, with their socialism, never come out during
the daylight and just up all night. And then zombies

(50:06):
are you know, represent the democrats fears of Republicans that
it's like the groaning hordes, the you know, dumb, slow
moving crowds, like a theme park on a sunny day
or a crowded walmart, Like that's the liberals greatest fear.
Do zombies tries to eat your brains? Literally, the thing

(50:27):
you think with do zombie movies resonate with you at all? TI, Yeah,
I like a zombie movie. You like faster, you like slow? Um,
I like all of them. Yeah, I'm a big fan
of all of them. I really enjoyed the Santa Clarita
diet as well, which has since been canceled. And I
thought that was a real fun kind of yes, ye yeah,

(50:48):
she's yeah, well it was. She just has she has
it kind of like a zombie, right yeah, flush yeah, yeah, no, no,
she's she's yeah, but she's more compressmentous like some kind
of us. But it's a zombie esque like you know,
it's interesting, just a cann of cannibal zombie kind of thing. Maybe, yeah,

(51:08):
maybe with Brexit, we're going to lose out on the
vampire films because you know, jaculas like Eastern European. But
I wonder how much the fear of the EU is
what fuels vampires, like fear of the influence of outside
country intinental exactly like I do, I do, like I
do like the idea of the socialist vampires. Yeah where

(51:31):
we Keepe saying no billionaires on it, like he has
a fancy accent, and you guys what's about more blood
blanks where we all share the blood, everyone get the
equal share of blood. I like this knows that a party.
When you look at vampire movies, the split is generally

(51:53):
like in keeping with international box office trends. But zombies
are just all American, the all American zombie. What are
the false zombies then? Because I think have any of
the scene days Later twenty eight days later, which is
one of the best I really Resident one of the Dead,
Resident speaking on something. Yeah, Dawn of the Dead, I

(52:14):
am legend they're quick, right, Yeah, they didn't even count
that as a zombie movie box office Mojo. Uh interesting, Yeah,
I mean again, I think it's just about you know,
America likes to beat up the week. Yeah, I really
like that, theoriod that, just like everyone else is like,
why would you create a movie about like horror movie
logic on easy mode because you get the funk out

(52:36):
of dude. You just get to mow people down. Dude,
it's sick and there's no risk to me fight the week. Yeah.
So where does the purge sit in all of this?
Ye purges, This I think just another American fantasy because
I feel like you're right that it probably is playing
with the same themes, right that like the outside masses

(52:58):
are going to come for you. But it also appeals
to probably the people who are more disempowered, right. And
also like with zombie movies, I feel like it's just like,
you know, people shoot a bunch. I mean, I would
love a zombie film where first of all, that we
represent the zombies as being a little more intelligent cultured.

(53:19):
You know, why don't what isn't there zombie culture? I
feel like I want to see that movie where they're
very like, they're very They're like, Okay, let's plan what
we're gonna do. Let's just not just stumble up to
the house, you know, Let's maybe we can reason with them,
maybe not, and maybe maybe maybe bring some snacks, a
little bit of dinner. Yeah, exactly. Kind of it's like,

(53:40):
we don't know what they've been eating. Their flesh from
night might not taste good. Remember that other family. Yeah,
m m hmmm. All right, that's free idea of Hollywood.
There you go. Uh, let's talk about the Scorsese verse
Marvel thing that is tearing the film world apart? Has it?
It's back again? I just remember that one line. It's

(54:01):
still ongoing. It's ongoing because France for Coppola came in
and upped the stakes. Uh so started out. We didn't
talk about it last week, so we'll just give the background. Um.
Presumably because someone thought his new movie was about a
serio superhero named Irishman. Uh. He was asked about the

(54:23):
Marvel cinematic universe and he said they're not cinema and
more a kinda theme parks. Uh. And that made the
internet very met. I don't know if he was intentionally
trying to like provoke film fans of modern day, but
that couldn't have been better designed to just piss off

(54:45):
a bunch of like basically everybody you see on the end.
Is he doing that thing where he's like sort of
differentiating between movies and cinema. That's exactly what he's doing.
And the quote really isn't that bad. He says, I
don't see the superhero movies. I tried, you know, but
that's not cinema. Honestly, the closest I can think of them,

(55:07):
as well made as they are, with actors doing the
best they can under the circumstances as theme parks. And
it isn't it isn't the cinema of human beings trying
to convey emotional psychological experiences to another human being. So
he's because they're fucking mutants. Bro Right, they're not human Martin, Right,
But it is pretty I mean, it's the people that

(55:32):
came in and said, he thinks that superhero movies are despicable, despicable.
Bro Yeah, well there's a difference, isn't there between guying
is different to what I do, and it shouldn't exist despicable.
Listen that, you guys, this shouldn't exist. This is despicable, right, right,

(55:54):
Like racism is despicable. Yes, like someone making a super
that's fun king. I mean, honestly, I'd prefer I wish
racism existed longer than super if I had to pick
one to get rid of superhero movies, despicable. Honestly. I
can take this criticism coming from Scorsese because he's so

(56:14):
rigorous when it comes to like his vision for what
cinema does. But friends for a couple of made Jack
the Robin Williams movie, a child who ages too fast,
like he's like batting a thousand let me know about cinema, Yeah,
I mean, but also bram Stoker's Dracula. Speaking of Dracula

(56:38):
also very popular everywhere. But also I mean, I feel
like the movies are big enough and bad enough to
take any criticism. But it's just sort of mad to
say something shouldn't exist, or that you to narrow. I
always feel like that that kind of like narrowing of
what art is, or what filmmaking is, or what you know.

(57:00):
You can say, this is what I believe it is,
but you can't speak for a whole genre, can you know.
It's one of those things that's happening in every art
form right everything is becoming either democratized more so anybody
can do it, or like it's just things are changing,
a little bit of taste are changing, and I get
what it's like someone being like, you know, a very

(57:21):
technical MC like fucking royst to five nine, or someone
having a take on the SoundCloud rappers who are like
these are not bars, these are not really well written raps.
This is like swag rapper. This is like a different thing.
And you see that in hip hop because it's sort
of like, now what we do is rap, that's some
other ship. But again it's it's coming from this generational

(57:41):
thing of like, oh, what these young kids are into
this now? So I can, for example, who won't consider
Netflix films or anything like that or stream of films
for the festival because it has to have had a
cinematic or theatrical release, right, But you have to look
at the industry and how it's changing and stuff, you know,
and kind of go, oh, does that mean that this

(58:02):
because it's so difficult to get a film into It's
all about connections again, isn't it. It's about closing that
this kind of closed shop mentality. I don't want to
say jobs for the boys. But also there is a
bit of a thing of kind of like this is
the way we do it, this is the way it's
always been done, and there's no room for you in here,
right exactly, I mean, and if you want to do it,
do it our way. Yeah. The movie Gemini Man is

(58:24):
actually it's in the top five I think for the
weekend of the box office, even though it's coming out
as a streaming movie. Uh. And it's also you know,
popular everywhere because I think younger version of Will Smith
is a is a villain that we can all be
afraid of. D aged Will Smith. That's terrified. Yeah, they

(58:44):
say that movie Gemini Man is losing. Maybe, well that's
but that's assuming, Oh I guess, yeah, I mean because
but that's not like it's a Netflix movie, isn't it, right, Yeah,
but it's also in theaters. Also there's a gatrical release
and it only made twenty million domestically over the weekend.

(59:05):
But again, you know, it's it's it's a different game
that I've said this before, but Netflix should open cinemas.
They should add like another a like a kind of
bolt onto the subscription that says, if you want to
go watch our content, if you want that communal experience, yeah,
you can join the Netflix Cinema Club and go see

(59:25):
their stuff that because I know they're they're actually I
mean it makes sense because they love debt, Like let's
build some theaters, right, I mean, because like the whole
plan behind spending that much on Gemini Man is that
like it's going to bring in a certain number of
people who will then subscribe, right, and they're about to

(59:46):
sell like two billion dollars worth of like junk bonds
basically are they to try and fund themselves again? So
you know, yeah, people still people still have faith in
that stock. Yeah, just keep just keep getting so big
and so big, you don't know what to do. Well.
They they don't release the figures though, do they for anything?
So it's only when they want to, right, Because that
Adam Sandler Jennifer Aniston film was like cat really they

(01:00:08):
said huge? Yeah yeah, And I mean that's that was
this year, right, so intelligible for the oscars that are
it'll have to play in a theater, right, that's true.
So it isn't and that's a loss for us all.
I mean a lot of people are saying it was
it's better than Roma, right yeah, yeah, it's this year's Roma.

(01:00:29):
It's last year's The Shape of Water, right, right. Murder
mystery or something, Yeah, I watched it. Just go with
it is what it's called. Just go with it. Murder mystery.
It is a murder mystery. So who've done it? On
a boat? They they're going on there like ten year
delayed honeymoon and then uh, Adam Sandler is a cop

(01:00:52):
who wants to be detective but can never pass the
detective's exam. And then they meet a like a mysterious
wealthy guy who invites them on a yacht and chaos
and sues when the patrichar the family, he winds up dead.
But I feel like, so just going back to Scorsese
and Coppola, I feel like they think, like, uh, Spielberg,

(01:01:12):
like is just pure garbage, like all Spielberg right, because
I mean, because he's like dabbled with all kinds of
mean he invented this type of movie with that Shark movie.
Ye yeah, and Eat and stuff. He did these kind
of I mean you could view Eat is kind of
like a superhero we kind of right, yeah, I mean

(01:01:34):
under the circumstances. Okay, But Goonies was not Spielberg. I'm sorry.
It wasn't. Chris Columbus. Is Chris Columbus? Was it? Was
it a Lucas? What do I think? Oh? No, Actually
Chris Columbus wrote it. How do We Go Battle? It's
not Spielberg. It is not Spielberg directed by Richard Donner,
heavily influenced by Spielberg. I think, yeah, um, but they

(01:01:58):
can't they make some, aren't they? I thought they really
liked to respect it. Maybe it's the amount of c
g I, but then they coming for Cameron for Avatar,
and then the Irishman too as there so Look, everybody's
got to dip their tone. I'm keen to see when
this d aging technology will kick him for women, because
I was like, women are going around getting plastic surgery

(01:02:19):
to look younger in Hollywood and the men are just
being in school sexy. You don't have to funk with
all that stuff. Yeah, but I mean you're going to
see this in every genre, every medium. Like there were
panics about the future of music when recordings became a

(01:02:41):
thing because people are like, well, nobody's gonna go see
live music again because they'll just like play it in
their living room at parties, which in home concerts, right,
So I mean, no matter what. I even before that,
writing music was considered like a real threat to the
future of the art form, like writing down the notes
because is then you could like reproduce it and uh

(01:03:03):
oh interesting, it's like a piracy thing. So yeah, no
matter what, you're gonna have silly. Uh And maybe they're
not silly. Maybe culture was at its best when we
couldn't write music. Well, look, they're just mad that people's
palates are dumbed down because we've just sort of fed
people this died of really holy un original content and
like it makes certain I think for them. They're like,

(01:03:24):
what about this, It's like, yeah, there's room for that.
But honestly, this is what the was, where the market is.
But hasn't it always been that? Hasn't that market always
been there? And and actually surely all this does is
kind of shore up more support for their films for
people who don't want that, or imagine this a world
where you could watch both and enjoy them for what?
Oh come, I know it's a binary the funk out

(01:03:46):
of here, get out of the studio? Which one? Which
one's closest to the origin of cinema? With that train
coming towards the screen and everybody running out of the theater,
that's like a theme park, you know, that's more of
a theme park attraction than cinema. So in your face, Scorsese, Yeah,
actually Scorsese's ruining cinema. Jack one scoresse Zer hold on, Actually,

(01:04:11):
if we can, can I make a critique? I mean
I might want to be in a Scorsese film, so
I should bother. But could that be a film where
he doesn't have give me shelter by the Rolling Stones
it please? Because every it's just a shadow man twenty

(01:04:34):
ft from Stardom though. That's a great part of that
documentary where they talk about singer she was pregnant and
they like called her up in the middle of the night.
They're like, they need you to sing right now, and
she's the one who sings it, and they have isolated
track and she's just leaving her soul like on that.
I mean, that is what makes the song. Yeah, performance

(01:04:56):
that that that brings full circle then, because isn't Dana
is it Dana Love? No, she's in lethal Weapon all
of the lethal weapons? Oh really? Yeah? Wow? Who sang
the She's in twenty ft from Stardom and she she
sang the Christmas No. No, Mary Clayton, No, he is

(01:05:17):
the one who's sang Darlie Love, Darline Loved. Darline Love
says she's in lethal Weapon and she's also in twenty
from start Lethal Weapon. She's Danny Glover's Yeah, how about
that goes on to become a romance? Not full circle? Uh? Well, Tiff,
