Across the Universe: Psychedelic & Beatles

I got podcasts on my fingers! Come Together for Liverpudlian loverboys, wacky walruses, and autotuned anthems. The person most confused by the film this week was: the delicious ripe strawberries getting pinned to a canvas instead of eaten.

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Toss Popcorn is a production of iHeartRadio.

Speaker 2 (00:03):
Oh Hi, I'm Leanna Holsten and I'm Sienna Jacob and
Welcome to Tossed Popcorn, the podcast where two idiots watched

(00:24):
every film on the AFI's one hundred Greatest American Movies
of All Time, the Very Slightly Less Racist tenth Anniversary edition,
and are now watching films directed by women.

Speaker 3 (00:36):
This podcast is a safe jukebox for people who don't
know anything about movies. Today we're watching Across the Universe,
A Crush the Universe Julie Taymoor, who did Broadway, thinking, Hello, Okay, okay,

(01:02):
you knowing that I do know that, I do know
that I know about the Female A Tour. She's the
only one I really know.

Speaker 2 (01:09):
The Female A Tour the US go.

Speaker 3 (01:13):
Warning there will be spoilers about this, uh, Paul John
George Ringo old film Listen. If we sound a little
bit different, we've messed with the natural order of things
in terms of when we were recording. We're doing a
different time because of the way schedules worked out. This week,

(01:35):
we said let's try it out. Leanna woke up extremely early.
It's extremely late for me. Well, it's it's eleven, but
it feels extremely late because I had a whole set
day today, so we are it's gonna be a perfect frame,
which I think is the right movie to be sort
of all over the place. But Joy, Today's special episode
of us really in weird states of mind.

Speaker 2 (01:57):
We're on our own version of Psychedelics, which is awake
at the wrong time. It's wrong, something is wrong, awaken
speaking at the wrong time. I'm just everything's moving slower.
So okay, oh my god, we can do this. We
can do this, Sienna. I feel like you've seen this before.

Speaker 3 (02:15):
No what I had not seen this, No way, I
did not see this. Also, it was something where i'd like,
maybe gotten a little glimpse through the grapevine of what
I was dealing with. And wells listen to my prediction
to see if I was wrong.

Speaker 2 (02:28):
Oh my god, I really was so sure.

Speaker 3 (02:33):
No, and I get why you think that, and it's
the opposite of what you think.

Speaker 2 (02:38):
Wow, Okay, well, yes, I'd love to hear your prediction
for Across the Universe.

Speaker 3 (02:42):
Okay, hey, Leanna, it's Sienna. I'm about to watch Across
the Universe. This just feels like the kind of movie
I'm supposed to have seen based on my current vibes.
But I feel like my parents were like kind of
anti air when I was growing up, not like oh,
they just were like wow, not my vibe. I don't

(03:03):
want to watch that because the reason I would have
watched it is because I was obsessed with Fiona Apple
and I think that her Across the Universe cover is
in this movie, and I misunderstood. I think. Okay, a
popular puppet troop is featured in this. Sorry, I'm really
out of breath. I guess it's probably not featured for long.

Speaker 2 (03:24):
I just know that.

Speaker 3 (03:28):
I love the Beatles, and so it's maybe like a
Beatles tribute of a movie that sounds a little bit
exhausting to me. If I'm being honest, it's like I
love them.

Speaker 2 (03:38):
Okay, Oh no, oh my god, Oh my god.

Speaker 3 (03:42):
Okay, I guess I'm not sure if I'm gonna like it,
but also I think i'll like it.

Speaker 2 (03:46):
Oh, this is good.

Speaker 4 (03:48):
I love you.

Speaker 3 (03:48):
Goodbye. I'm not gonna say a damn thing yet. I
want to hear your picture first.

Speaker 2 (03:52):
Here it is hello, Sienna, It's Leanna. I'm about to
watch the Universe. I've never seen this movie, but I
remember it being like all the rage when it came out,
and I tried to explain it to a friend the
other day, and what I said was, it's like the
Beatles and Lily James and that guy who might be

(04:14):
the same guy from The Sandman No, and maybe like
a I don't know song. I already say that, And
then he said that I had described the plot of
the movie yesterday, so I actually have no idea what
that movie is, but I know there's songs in it,
and I'm pretty sure there is at least one Beatles song,
so I predict the Beatles song and some visuals.

Speaker 3 (04:38):
Okay, love you bye? All right. Yes, we were both
extremely wrong and extremely right. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (04:44):
Absolutely, Oh my god. I really assumed you had seen
this and it had like shaped your personality because you
were like an indie, indie girl.

Speaker 3 (04:52):
I totally get why you'd think that I had not
seen this, and I'd say that seeing it kind of
shook my understanding of the world because I'm like, why.

Speaker 4 (05:05):
Why would you do this? Oh my god, why would
you do this? Why would you make this? Why why
would you do this? Why did I see this? Why
did they make this?

Speaker 3 (05:15):
Oh my god?

Speaker 2 (05:16):
Oh my god, Oh my god, how do you feel
I didn't really care?

Speaker 3 (05:24):
Oh my god, I mean I don't my my hatred
is maybe a phrase I should a term I should
say for things that like really bother me. I just
was like, no, I don't stop.

Speaker 2 (05:36):
Stop.

Speaker 3 (05:37):
I didn't. I didn't want any of it. I didn't
want any of it to be happening the whole time.

Speaker 2 (05:42):
Oh my god.

Speaker 3 (05:44):
I was like, yes, I love the Beatles, stop stop
doing it like that.

Speaker 2 (05:48):
I love this, I love this take Oh I can't
wait to read your photos, but we can't do that yet. Yeah,
what say it?

Speaker 3 (05:56):
Oh no? Just like why? I know that the movie
MEETI allows you to do whatever you want, but like, don't, like,
why would you do this? Why would you make.

Speaker 2 (06:04):
It like that? Okay? Perfect, So your main takeaways are
why and don't.

Speaker 3 (06:10):
Yes, that's exactly how I felt about this. There are moments,
there are moments I don't know if I had I
don't know if there's any world in which I could
have had an open mind exactly, I don't know.

Speaker 2 (06:23):
It wasn't, I don't know. I'm obsessed with this. I'm
so excited because I was watching it through like a
charitable lens of like, well, yeah, Sianna's high school self
loved this and its shaped too she is today, so
I need to be tolerant.

Speaker 3 (06:38):
I completely get why.

Speaker 2 (06:42):
Wow. Wow.

Speaker 3 (06:44):
I feel like a lot of people in my world
really like this kind of thing now, and so I'm like, okay, yeah,
work like, I bet it's really good. Like, I bet
I'm gonna like it. I bet you know what, I'll
just like it. And then I see it and I'm like,
you're joking me. Okay. Sometimes I think we're different. And
then I'm like, no, we're not. I'm just like, no,
we are different. If this is what you if this
is what you want to watch.

Speaker 2 (07:05):
We are not the same. Wow.

Speaker 3 (07:08):
Yeah, it's I don't feel hatred. I just really wanted
to turn it off the whole time. No interest, not interest.
I wasn't interested in seeing more.

Speaker 2 (07:27):
I'm not interested in seeing more of this. Thank you. Okay,
let's I guess, let's keep podcasting. Let's power through. Hey
hey girl, Hey girl, hey girl, Hey what I just
remember it's hey girl. Oh my god.

Speaker 3 (07:41):
But hey, that job I've been talking about on a
few whatever. I just did it yesterday. It is done. Yes,
I just have to do all the thank you. It's
fantastic news. I did end, it did end.

Speaker 2 (08:03):
I've never heard you'd speak the way that you're speaking
on this evening.

Speaker 3 (08:08):
I have not only been up since six, but it's
like the same. It's like there are times where I
would get up and like some of my roomates yesterday
they got up at the same time as me because
they were going to Disneyland, and I was like, wow,
our days are about to be so different, even though
they're on paper the number of hours were up are

(08:28):
the same, but they're just different. I was happy to
be working on this. I had a lot of fun,
but it was just like extremely, extremely a work day,
and yeah, so it was interesting. And last night I
watched this movie and it was while it was like
making more stuff because I was like, somehow I still
have more to do because this is all nailed down.

(08:49):
And so I was watching this while like trying to
cut trying to make it this Dollwig look less like
a two pay and.

Speaker 2 (08:56):
Oh my god, because those are two different those are
two separate Unishmidt. I know, I know, I know, while
even while I was doing it, it's like I know
that this is the same. I know Dollwig puppet job
is the same vibe on paper? Is this movie paper?

Speaker 3 (09:14):
It's not.

Speaker 2 (09:15):
Yeah, we're gonna have to really nail down parts through
how the two differ, because I know what you're talking about,
and I'm excited for us to really dig in. Really yeah, okay,
but you know what I did that.

Speaker 3 (09:27):
Was absolutely crazy. I randomly after this job She's random,
which again it was was it went, it went very well,
and I'm that's that's really good news. I drove away
and my friend invited me to go to this musical
improv show and I was like, no, I'm like so tired.
And then I was like, that actually sounds incredibly fun

(09:48):
right now because I can sit not fall asleep, and
I like musical improv a lot. That's like one where
I'm like, I really am here for a show. And
so I said, and I watched that, Oh cute, and
so this is kind of a cute thing to do.
It was actually it was like it was like the pros.

Speaker 2 (10:07):
Oh fine, okay, that show was it? I don't know,
there's no way for me to know where was it?

Speaker 3 (10:17):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (10:17):
Okay, but it was was it magic to do?

Speaker 3 (10:20):
No?

Speaker 2 (10:21):
Okay? Yeah, hie girl, hey girl, how you do Yes? Absolutely, yes,
Oh I had a crazy dream last night. What was
it that. It was that my family went to a
water park, which is already something we would never do.

Speaker 3 (10:42):
Right. When I went to a water park for the
first time, I was really like, yeah, I am living
in a different life, Like I have no way of
relating to this experience.

Speaker 2 (10:51):
Oh my gosh.

Speaker 3 (10:52):
Yeah it was fun, but it was so far from
my upbringing.

Speaker 2 (10:55):
I think I think deep down, whenever I'm at a
water park, I'm like, this just shouldn't exist. This isn't
that what God meant for us? This is two times?

Speaker 3 (11:06):
Yeah, that is this movie is This movie was a
lot like a water park, and that goes when I
go to them, I'm like, oh, I really do have
a different experience of life.

Speaker 2 (11:19):
This does not resonate.

Speaker 3 (11:20):
Yeah, yeah, this is something new.

Speaker 2 (11:22):
There was there's a place in Colorado called water World,
which Colorado was like an arid congrat. Don't put water
World there. That's crazy. Anyway, In my dream, my family
went to a water park. We all hated it, very
realistic for our own unique reasons, unique, very valid, very

(11:46):
real life reasons, and because none of my dreams are
not stress dreams. I was we got to the water
park at nine thirty am, but I had a hair
appointment at eleven eight h huh, And I was like, well,
I can't be in the water. I have to go
get my hair done and I have to get across

(12:06):
town to my appointment.

Speaker 3 (12:09):
Huh oh. So that's that's.

Speaker 2 (12:13):
Just a glimpse into what it looks like to be
my brain allegedly recuperating at night.

Speaker 3 (12:19):
I don't find.

Speaker 2 (12:20):
Juvenating because my brain is screaming about nonsense scenarios that
will literally never happen. I would never go to a
water park, especially not at nine thirty am, and I
would never schedule something to begin an hour and a
half before a hair appointment.

Speaker 3 (12:36):
They're always hyper realistic in that way where like the
only thing that's unrealistic is that, yeah, the scenario would
take so many things going wrong for that to be
a scenario, but like that's something that the brain could imagine, you.

Speaker 2 (12:49):
Know, Yeah, the brain imagines it. And then I react
very true to myself within the scenarios I wonder, and
then I wake up exhusted.

Speaker 3 (12:57):
I know that dreams are likely partially to think through
how you would deal with danger to like not only rest,
but to sort of yeah, consider what you would do
in a hair whatever. But it's almost like your brain
has so many ideas of what that could be that

(13:18):
every night you have to revisit it, revisit what a
next danger could be. Yeah, yeah, there's okay, okay, what if?
What if? Okay? But yeah, probably won't. But if we
were all at a water park.

Speaker 2 (13:33):
Right, we hate family, all adults go to a water park.

Speaker 3 (13:37):
And then what if? What if there was a hair
appointment that would not be good? What are you gonna do?
What are you gonna do? Girlfriend? When it's you, what
happens to you?

Speaker 2 (13:47):
So that's how I'm beginning the day is with that
sort I am going you can tell us, I can't
tell you. I'll tell you off Nike, Okay, but I
signed an Nda.

Speaker 3 (14:03):
Oh my god, Wow, the idea of me getting to
this end of this podcast and then you're telling me
it sounds impossible to me right now?

Speaker 2 (14:11):
I know, I know, yeah, but it might happen, it
might not happen. And speaking of getting to the end
of something, Siena, could you please give us a synopsis
of the film Across the Universe?

Speaker 3 (14:26):
Yeah? Girl, Yeah, girl across the Universe. It's sort of
like a super deep Fried in like the internet way,
like deep Fried Mama Mia experience with the Beatles, but
so weird. It's like a jukebox musical and somehow it

(14:47):
has like Shipyard England vibes, like they start there but
then they end up in the US. It's all during
the Vietnam War. There's some anti war sentiment and people
falling in love, and there's all these Beatles songs and
geeky Beatles references and like sort of psychedelic film choices.

Speaker 5 (15:13):
And I just I don't know why they did it.

Speaker 3 (15:20):
It both it manages to both and to eat your
own I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I don't people like it.
I think it's just straight up not for me. But
it makes me feel confused about mankind. Oh my god,
but I feel confused. But I understand, like my roommates
liked it. It's not in high school whatever whatever it seems.
It's not doing harm. It doesn't something a lot of harm.

(15:44):
But at the same time, I don't remember.

Speaker 2 (15:52):
It was one of your best, really good to end
the synopsis with, but at the same time I don't remember.
That's how I would be if I had to do
the synopsis every week. You say you want to reblution, Well,

(16:15):
you know, we all need to play some ads.

Speaker 3 (16:21):
Was so good.

Speaker 2 (16:27):
Gosh, okay, let you get into it.

Speaker 3 (16:30):
Okay, Well, I was just gonna ask how you felt
about it more. You said you didn't really mind it.

Speaker 2 (16:34):
I just don't really care. So I know Beatles songs.

Speaker 3 (16:38):
I wanted to ask you your relationship with the Beatles. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (16:42):
At one point I turned to my flatmate, who walked
in about halfway through the film and heard one note
and went, oh, my god, are you watching across the universe?
Because they did see it in high school.

Speaker 3 (16:54):
They like it.

Speaker 2 (16:55):
They saw it in high school.

Speaker 3 (16:57):
Okay, is what I will saame with my same with
my roommate.

Speaker 2 (16:59):
Yeah. I turned to them during the film and I said, oh,
are these all Beatles songs? And they were like yes.

Speaker 3 (17:07):
I said, to even accept this movie as something that
is an acceptable movie is is just like so.

Speaker 2 (17:16):
But again I watched through the lens of like, Okay,
Sienna loved this. This is the reason Sienna is the
way that she is. This is probably why she's doing puppets. Now.

Speaker 3 (17:24):
Oh it's nice.

Speaker 2 (17:24):
So let me be like okay, all right, okay Mama.
I was watching it with the glasses on of okay
Mama that I had, okay, mama, glasses on.

Speaker 3 (17:36):
That is so nice. My roommate said, hey, just try
to enjoy it, pretend it's like mamma mia. And I
tried so hard and I immediately it didn't work.

Speaker 2 (17:44):
Oh perfect, Okay, let's get into our phone notes where
we read the notes the other person took on their
phone while watching the Filone. Siena's first note is, oh, no,
I hate this.

Speaker 3 (17:55):
It started and I hated it immediately too, and then
you said, no, okay, mama, I it started, and this
man stares at the camera and he says, is there
any but going to listen to my story?

Speaker 2 (18:15):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (18:15):
And I turned to my roomies who I was watching with,
and I went, is this what it's like? And they
were like, yeah, yeah, it's all sort of like this.

Speaker 2 (18:28):
I was like, oh no, oh, dear.

Speaker 3 (18:31):
So I love the Beatles very much. I'm extremely, very
much a Beatles nerd. I learned a guitar playing the
Beatles from the from the Beatles, but they have notoriously easy.

Speaker 2 (18:40):
Learned guitar from the Beatles.

Speaker 3 (18:42):
Yes, I learned guitar from Paul McCartney. They have notoriously
easy to play, like simple chords.

Speaker 2 (18:49):
So it's a good Oh yeah, I remember they had
that quote that was like the songs are easy to
remember because we had to remember them.

Speaker 3 (18:55):
That makes so much sense. That's really cute. That makes
so much sense. I love the Beatles very much, big fan,
and I definitely think that's part of why I'm like,
there's a protectiveness that makes me like, yeah, I don't associate.
This isn't the vibe I associate with. And there were
things in the movie that I like, enjoyed and was

(19:16):
interested in, but just the whole premise, I just disagreed
with the whole premise of this thing. It's like, I
don't want to do this.

Speaker 2 (19:24):
I don't want to do this.

Speaker 3 (19:25):
It feels like for somebody who loves it so much,
it's someone else nerding out in a way that is
not the way I want to nerd out about them.
So I'm like, I can't join this. Remember I didn't
like Mulin Rouge either.

Speaker 2 (19:40):
Which is incorrect, but that's okay.

Speaker 3 (19:42):
I can see how they're different. I'll tell you that
I can see how they're different, but it felt like
a similar thing of me being like, I don't understand
this genre, so I think there's some of that that
I just I think it genuinely is a genre I
just wasn't exposed to. And yeah, we usually get exposed
to it in high school. And it's fun.

Speaker 2 (19:59):
That's when I yes, but forget middle school.

Speaker 3 (20:03):
This is fun. No, it's not.

Speaker 2 (20:06):
And we like this leon is at least like creative,
and it picked its own aesthetic in a very like
picking the songs is a is a And there weren't puppets.

Speaker 3 (20:19):
Okay, let me just say I have come to really, uh,
I appreciate puppets more and like sculpture and things like
that and puppetry as an art form. How did I
get into puppetry? It is not because I saw puppet movies.
It's because it is the only thing that people keep
hiring me to do. Yeah, yes, of.

Speaker 2 (20:41):
Course that's the only skill. Literally, this set that.

Speaker 3 (20:44):
I just was on, I'm like, I am the most
capable person in the room at this and when they
need me here today, I can be the damn hero
mm hmm. And and I like, I like doing it.
But if you're looking for some inspiration, of like a weird,
freaky thing I saw.

Speaker 1 (21:02):
No.

Speaker 3 (21:03):
I hated the puppets that were dancing in this guy.

Speaker 2 (21:06):
It was so scary and growth. Thank god.

Speaker 3 (21:09):
Yes, Leanna, you've said I sense this film will have
an a cab vibe that resonates. I agree, mm hmm. Yeah,
it's the city war stuff. Yeah, it is always interesting,
yeah all over. Yeah, even when it is like a
political cartoon music video. You said, is this gonna be

(21:36):
Vietnam War? Because Gang, I can't really with that right now.
They kind of like really did make it the war.

Speaker 2 (21:45):
It was very the war, and you know, it was
the Vietnam War directed by a woman, so that's something.
Even it was at least not the worst version of
the Vietnam War. We didn't have to like watch atrocities happen.
But Gang Gang, I genuinely thought this movie was about

(22:06):
space travel.

Speaker 3 (22:09):
Across the universe.

Speaker 2 (22:11):
I genuinely thought they'd be hopping from like dimension to
dimension via the songs of the Beatles, and I was like,
that was really cool. But then it was Vietnam.

Speaker 3 (22:20):
Can I say that's kind of what yesterday was? Sort
of Oh well, not really at all.

Speaker 2 (22:28):
I know the premise of yesterday, which is like silly, funny, Yeah,
this was so. I was just like, we've had to
watch so many films about the Vietnam War, and I
understand that it was a huge moment in the US
and that if you, the director of a film, went
to college during the Vietnam War, it will have had
an impact on your artistic creativity.

Speaker 3 (22:46):
I don't want to watch it. I'm sorry, Like you
said about don't need to see that. It's funny how
the movies we've seen that have been directed by or
created by women that have to do with war, even
this one, which I had all these like all these
annoyances I was annoyed at in whatever ways, like the

(23:08):
actual war part, even though it was just you know,
dealt with in its very dramatic way. The war is dramatic,
maybe the most dramatic thing we have.

Speaker 2 (23:23):
I think that's really true. And men say women are
too emotional to be in leadership positions. They came up
with the most dramatic thing we have.

Speaker 3 (23:30):
What it's all we have.

Speaker 2 (23:31):
It's like, honestly, I feel like the two most dramatic
things we have are war and the stock exchange. That
is so true, and those like everything's like, why are
you yelling? Why are you yelling so much? Why? Why
did you stop yelling?

Speaker 3 (23:47):
Why did you have to find the things that are
truly the highest stakes? Like you're like, let's make it
as high as we possibly can.

Speaker 2 (23:53):
And then let's yell during it. Let's stop.

Speaker 3 (23:57):
I wrote this down later too. I wrote this on
for for my later notes why should you watch this?
Or in fact, where you said Julia that should watch
I read something. I wrote something that was like, I
know we're both thinking about Jewela. Oh yeah, because this

(24:18):
is I didn't realize when we watched that video. So
of course Leanna and I have I'm sure talked on
this podcast before about this amazing TikTok that sent me
where they're doing like a a guy is doing or no,
a few people on TikTok or are doing one of
those like musicals that they're making up theah they're on TikTok,

(24:38):
which is a thing for a while and it was
like a jukebox musical about.

Speaker 2 (24:43):
Using Solana del Rey jukebox musical set in the north
of England Jewela.

Speaker 6 (24:49):
Well wait, get bro, did kiss me before you use
me out?

Speaker 2 (25:00):
Before you go and see that?

Speaker 3 (25:04):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (25:05):
Literally was that.

Speaker 3 (25:07):
He's like, no one told me that this because it
starts off very shipyard.

Speaker 2 (25:11):
Ship very couldn't be more shipyard.

Speaker 3 (25:14):
Yeah, Leanna, you said you can tell he's in America.
You can tell he's in America now because someone wrote
freedom on a bridge. Yes, good job, very good, Julie,
thank you. I can tell.

Speaker 2 (25:29):
Julie tam Or Okay, yes, I'm so sorry. Sienna, you
said this movie is kind of ruining the Beatles for me.
I think my genuine feeling is that I want this
movie to not exist. I really get this.

Speaker 3 (25:45):
Respect.

Speaker 2 (25:46):
I really loved Mumford and Sons, especially in high school,
and if somebody made a jukebox musical of their songs,
I just know I would be like, don't.

Speaker 3 (25:54):
Stop, Yeah, pease, don't. I don't like that Anybody's like, oh,
you don't need to do this. From from across the universe, yeah,
I genuinely respectfully, like, I respect if this is something
your anyone's into, and I get why it would be
like an impactful and very unique creative film, unique for

(26:20):
the cool artist people in high school.

Speaker 2 (26:24):
Yeah, but uh, I.

Speaker 3 (26:26):
Do for myself if I had the choice and it
wouldn't hurt anyone really, And they said, do you want
this movie to exist or not? Without blinking, without it,
without a thought, I would say I would rather it
not exist. And it's too bad I'm saying that about
this And I didn't bring that up when we watched.
Like some of the most horrible movies I've ever seen,

(26:48):
I obviously feel that way about those, I obviously do. Yeah,
those ones hurt in a in a society place. This
one just hurts in a nerd and a love place.
And you know what, you know what that's strong? Mm hmmm. Yeah, Leanna,

(27:08):
you said, are these guys gonna kiss?

Speaker 2 (27:10):
I hope the boys the boys, the boys, Max and Jude.
I thought they should have kissed.

Speaker 3 (27:18):
Oh, absolutely, Yeah. I liked some of the voices in
this movie, Like I liked very talented Max Hellax. Yeah,
I really liked Max's voice a lot. I loved her
words were crazy at times.

Speaker 2 (27:32):
Sadie's voice, Oh, her voice was amazing.

Speaker 3 (27:34):
She was so good.

Speaker 2 (27:36):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (27:37):
Okay, Leanna, you've said if a Scouser showed up at
my senior year of high school Thanksgiving, I would also
fall in love with him. That's true. Yeah, that's a
really really good point of course, that's a really good point.

Speaker 2 (27:51):
Yeah to him, I was like, stop. To her, I
was like, girl, I get it, as you should. Yeah,
I see you. I understand. I would have done the same. Yes, yes,
n None of.

Speaker 3 (28:07):
My brother's friends ever fell in love with me, and
we all hung out.

Speaker 2 (28:12):
The friend her older brother brings home one friend one
time and he immediately falls in love with her, and
I was like, that never happened. Come on, there had
so many friends and not one of them fell in
love with me.

Speaker 3 (28:24):
What the f?

Speaker 2 (28:25):
What the what the what the f?

Speaker 3 (28:27):
Guys? What the f? Leanna? You said? Okay, so that
drawing is obviously bad. Is that one of the things?

Speaker 2 (28:39):
Whole thing is like, I'm an artist. Yeah, I first
think he draws. I was like, that's bad.

Speaker 3 (28:44):
Okay, that's so good.

Speaker 2 (28:46):
Also he's drawing on the walls of their apartment in
a very bob a duck way.

Speaker 3 (28:53):
Did you give me? Yes? I went back to again.
I watched a couple of clips today that I was like,
did I see this? Is this the right one? And
I did. I was like, okay, I did watch this,
But I had been kind of in and out of
the house, like doing some things during this one and
actually they were at the end I've noted this. I
laughed a lot, actually, because most of the things I

(29:14):
happened to miss were nudity. That's when I went back
and watched today. I was like, wait, I remember this song,
but wait, I don't remember seeing just pages and pages
of boobs on the wall.

Speaker 2 (29:26):
Pages of boob Like how did I yes that?

Speaker 3 (29:30):
I felt like I turned on my heel and just
saw in my own home pages and pages of boobs.
That's what it felt like. I'd watch it and be like,
I didn't ohee this yesterday.

Speaker 2 (29:39):
No, yeah he does.

Speaker 3 (29:40):
He puts them on the wall, which you don't need
to do.

Speaker 2 (29:42):
Is like tortured artists straight on the wall. I'd be
so pissed if that was my flat.

Speaker 3 (29:47):
It's terrible.

Speaker 2 (29:49):
That's not gonna I woke up and there was a
Baba Duck style illustration of a woman in the corner,
like that's where the baba duck is, Like where the
wall meets the ceiling is where he drew weird bitch
my cud leanna.

Speaker 3 (30:04):
He said, m hmm. You said, uh is he drawing her?
Because if he is, I'm I'm going to roll my
eyes so much.

Speaker 2 (30:12):
Oh my god. When they're on the beach or at
the water and he's looking down, I thought he was
drawing her on a pad, and then he looked up
and he wasn't, and I was like, oh. And then
he picked up along what stick of charcoal and walked
over and drew her on a wall and I said, no, Black,
stop singing.

Speaker 3 (30:33):
Not okay? Also okay, also with this movie, Yeah, yeah,
I think that the other thing is like, I get
making a jukebox musical that pulls everything together into a
story that's fun as an idea, and I get it.
I probably would not agree with the Beatles version no
matter what, just because they're too close to home.

Speaker 2 (30:51):
But yeah, but.

Speaker 3 (30:54):
There were certain times where it's like, why are you
singing this? There's no reason in the when you're singing.
And yeah, there were a number of times where there
was like a bundle of songs, like they would sing
one and I'd go okay, but they'd only sing like
one verse of it, and then they'd all of a
sudden be singing another one, just in a different location,

(31:14):
and I'm like, now, that's not a story plot thing,
that's not a story point. That's not a plot point.
Those are just two different songs in two different places.
Like when she was singing Blackbird, why why Yeah, okay,
metaphor Okay, I don't get that. I don't understand metaphors.
And why don't movies get that? You noted?

Speaker 2 (31:32):
I literally just went I don't get her. She's just
like crying in the closet, absorbed, no metaphor at all.
So that's about gay Prudence, Yeah, because who's crying in
the closet.

Speaker 3 (31:43):
I was like, she's being literally so annoying, like she's
like crying and everybody has to go back.

Speaker 2 (31:49):
I made your homophobic, well.

Speaker 3 (31:51):
Because imagine if there is no metaphor. Okay, she's just like, uh,
I'm upset, and so every single one of my friends
has to come get me out of yeah, the closet.
It really sounds homophobic.

Speaker 2 (32:07):
It was pretty on the nose. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (32:10):
As I was saying it, I was like, oh, oh, okay,
so the whole okay, And so they're making it okay,
that's actually really beautiful. That's okay. So all of her
friends did okay, that's beautiful, and dear Prudence says like,
come on, the world is bright for you if you
accept yourself that's actually really beautiful.

Speaker 2 (32:28):
So yeah, and then she moves to a commune and
she meets a contortionist.

Speaker 4 (32:31):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (32:31):
I turned around on that one. I will say, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 2 (32:35):
So did the contortionist.

Speaker 3 (32:37):
Okay, Leana, Yes, you said apparently he did something brave. Yeah,
probably slaughtered a civilian. I mean, you're right, you're not wrong.

Speaker 2 (32:54):
So her boyfriend dies in Vietnam Obs. She's like, they
buried with him. They buried him with a medal because
apparently he did something brave.

Speaker 3 (33:01):
And I was like, oh, what is he to find
as that in Vietnam war?

Speaker 2 (33:10):
I don't think that's good.

Speaker 3 (33:12):
Leanna. You said so cute. I hope my next breath
is my last.

Speaker 2 (33:20):
When they finally got together, I was like, oh, does
anybody have a gun. You've asked Leanna, have you ever
been to a circus? The closest I've gotten is cirk
to Solay.

Speaker 3 (33:34):
How was that that sounds?

Speaker 2 (33:36):
I've been multiple times. My family obviously was going to
cirk Disulay growing up.

Speaker 3 (33:41):
Some things aren't obvious to me about them.

Speaker 2 (33:43):
Really, it's like the all that you say it it's
version of a circus. Yeah, it's oh, well, we can
take the children to that because that's elegant.

Speaker 3 (33:52):
At times, your family's like this is when when when
you were alive, you experience these things, like I think,
do you guys go to class? Was always saying that
to me. I'm like, classes on a vacations so far
from my families. It is so far from you.

Speaker 2 (34:10):
Are you talking about hiking?

Speaker 3 (34:12):
Like you said something? They told me a story about
like oh yeah, when we were in like Peru, we
took a whatever class.

Speaker 2 (34:18):
Oh it was a cocktail making class.

Speaker 3 (34:23):
I know, this seems like nothing to you. My family
would never sign up for something like that, like ever,
We would never look at that and go, maybe we
should do that. Oh my god in a million years.
Like a church tour is one thing that's like we
come here, we're going to do that. We're an impromptu class.

(34:45):
I just think which they're like, what do you.

Speaker 2 (34:47):
Mean a church tour is one thing? It's not it's
not built in you're telling me the experience. Wait, no, mama,
well we would sometimes go into a church.

Speaker 3 (34:59):
I think there's a it suck the marijuada of life
sort of vibes.

Speaker 2 (35:03):
Sometimes, my god, don't say that.

Speaker 3 (35:04):
That's not a perfect the maraud of life.

Speaker 2 (35:06):
We would never do that, No, we would never. Have
you been to a circus? Have you been to like
a circus? Circus? Like animal abuse vibes? Yeah?

Speaker 3 (35:16):
Good? Fine? Have you been all right? It sounds like
you really like I assume you really thought I did.
It sounds like I know I love the zoo. I
know I love the zoo.

Speaker 2 (35:30):
I love you do love the zoo? I love Yeah,
I love it. It's it's one small step away.

Speaker 3 (35:36):
Yeah, I guess I should.

Speaker 4 (35:38):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (35:39):
No, I haven't been to one. It's never come up.

Speaker 2 (35:42):
That's good.

Speaker 3 (35:43):
A circus has never come to my town.

Speaker 2 (35:46):
I can't be true small town.

Speaker 3 (35:51):
Uh, Leanna, you said a hall of men who've been
to Turkey?

Speaker 2 (35:59):
Sorry, do you know about Turkey's reputation? Or is that
more like yeah, hair plugs, facial reconstruction, like plastic surgery.

Speaker 3 (36:09):
I guess I do know that.

Speaker 2 (36:11):
The Hall of Military Recruiters and the Vietnam Recruitment song.
I really liked that number. I thought that was really good.
The when he has to go to the induction. Yeah yeah,
and then he gets like literally like factory machine shipped
off to war.

Speaker 3 (36:30):
All of his stuff.

Speaker 2 (36:31):
Was like I loved him, was cool.

Speaker 3 (36:34):
I liked. I liked that it was straight up I can.
I could accept that his especially was all just like
straight up commentary. What I didn't like was that I
hadn't seen anything like that yet. The movie had not
prepared me for this vibe. But they would suddenly have
all this stuff on their face, prosthetics. It was, yeah,
a lot of prosthetics to make like a square jaw,

(36:55):
which is cool, but I wasn't. I wasn't ready for
spy kids.

Speaker 2 (37:00):
I feel like you're always ready for anything resembling like
puppet imagery.

Speaker 3 (37:06):
I understand why it was that way, but no, not.

Speaker 2 (37:09):
Okay, this movie was not for you.

Speaker 3 (37:13):
There were moments like I did when they said when
it went, when he went I want You, I.

Speaker 2 (37:18):
Was like, okay, that is fun.

Speaker 3 (37:20):
Is that a Beatles song? It is, well Leanna, they
are Leanna. Okay, wait, I have something else to break
to you. I have to break something else to you.
Not only were there Beatles songs, they had a lot
of like look to camera say a line of Beatles
like phrase that they wouldn't even be a song like.
There was Beatles references just all.

Speaker 2 (37:42):
Through the dialogue.

Speaker 3 (37:43):
Sadie is based on a song Juwe based on a
sure I know that one based on a song.

Speaker 2 (37:48):
Yea, her name was based on a song.

Speaker 3 (37:50):
Who's Jojo Prudence based on a song Sadie's boyfriend?

Speaker 2 (37:55):
Oh?

Speaker 3 (37:57):
Yeah, see.

Speaker 2 (37:58):
I think I was smooth bring enough yeah to not
notice and to just be like, huh.

Speaker 3 (38:04):
That was a huge turn off for me. It was
a time where they'd be like, huh uh, what would
they what would they say?

Speaker 2 (38:11):
Yeah, it really feels like this movie was made for
girls with Tumblr pages.

Speaker 3 (38:15):
Yes, it felt like that.

Speaker 2 (38:16):
That's exactly it felt like.

Speaker 3 (38:18):
And good for them, I guess, good for them. I
guess good for them. I guess. How about that Salma Hyak?
What the hell was that?

Speaker 2 (38:26):
That was?

Speaker 3 (38:26):
What the hell?

Speaker 2 (38:27):
We both were like, is that Salma Hyak? Yes, they
went at one point there are five Salma Hyaks, all
dressed as nurses.

Speaker 3 (38:35):
And that's what I mean where I'm like, huh, this
isn't harmful for the world. But I don't want this
to be. I want to go back to before I
knew this. But I really liked that song and he
did it. I really liked his performance, so okay, work,
but I didn't want there to be five Salma Hyaks.

(39:01):
I didn't want that at all. And I can really
see the direction and how she has to be like
one of her is swinging there and one of her
is like being flirty. It's just like, it's so cringe
to me, so cringe, and maybe the cringe is part
of the art form, but it's not for me, not
for this girl. Oh yeah, you did say Leana embarrassing

(39:26):
for Jude because he's just mad about his girlfriend and
not dot dot dot the Vietnam War.

Speaker 2 (39:33):
Yeah, that was embarrassing. He was really mad that she
was busy at work, but he wasn't mad about like
global atrocities. I love that song, but I was like, yeah,
my guy, I liked that whole That was.

Speaker 3 (39:47):
A song I really liked and the music video that
went with it and everything. For some reason, I a
lot and I was feeling the same way where I
was like, of all the things for you to say
it's gonna be all right, the Vietnam War is not.

Speaker 2 (40:00):
It's not true.

Speaker 3 (40:02):
And I and it's interesting because it probably feels that
way and that's what we do in face atrocities.

Speaker 2 (40:06):
But like, yeah, it's interesting watching this because he is
an english person living in America that was kind of upheaval.
I am an American person living in England, where mostly
the upheavals happening in America. But there's some stuff going
on over here that's pretty ft. But I know that, Like,
I wouldn't go into somebody's office and sing at them

(40:29):
being like, it's gonna be fine, it's a stop working
on this. I wouldn't do that.

Speaker 3 (40:36):
Stop your job being working on this. It's all gonna
be good. You don't need to have this your job. Yeah, okay,
thank you again, Leanna. You said, you know, I thought
there would be intergalactic time traveling, and.

Speaker 2 (40:51):
I loved that. I love I want to.

Speaker 3 (40:55):
I want to go on that journey with you.

Speaker 2 (40:57):
I thought they were going across the universe.

Speaker 3 (41:01):
You also said, wow, the Beatles had a lot of songs. Huh.
And by the way, they are amazing. I love them
so much. Theirs.

Speaker 2 (41:10):
This movie was long. This kept finding more songs.

Speaker 3 (41:14):
They kept finding more songs. They kept turning every little
second into a song. Yeah, and there kept being another
thing that was happening that required a song, like another
new problem.

Speaker 2 (41:28):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (41:28):
We're like, we're already too far in the movie for
there to be a new thing. Mm hmm.

Speaker 2 (41:32):
But okay, yeah, you did write is this hell hell
for us both? But I guess more for you for me,
maybe more purgatory vibes.

Speaker 3 (41:46):
Something in the ads you break reminds me that I
still have a contract with this company. Well, Leanna, your

(42:09):
final note is cute. I hope my next breath is
my last and your final note is.

Speaker 2 (42:19):
Okay? Was that just like you were becoming unhinged?

Speaker 3 (42:24):
I don't know if I even met meant. I don't
even know if I meant to bold that great?

Speaker 2 (42:29):
Okay, Well, we gotta go to our next segment, Badges
and Trages, where we award badges for Beatles songs and
tradges for trippy uh footage of annoying renditions of Beatles songs.

everybody look it up. But I was really laughing that.
I'm like, she just loves to work with Bono and
the scene in the music for it. Of course, yes,
but that's Julie Taymoor and Bono. Oh they're huge disaster together.

Speaker 2 (43:36):
A cursed production. But in a way that was very funny.

Speaker 3 (43:41):
Unfortunately, it was extremely funny and some of those music
is so funny and bad.

A badge for Northern accents, and then later I realized
it was specifically a Scouts accent, and I said, oh, wait,

Oh right, wait, we're still doing the Beatles.

Speaker 2 (44:02):
Oh that's right. Oh it's the Beatles.

and so good, yes, so many badge for.

It starts with him singing directly at camera and I said, whoa.

Speaker 3 (46:39):
No, yeah, my second my second bridge trag. My second
trage is too many songs. They did too many. If
they'd done half of this, I guess I would have
felt the same. But I just think they did too.

Speaker 2 (46:56):
Many a trage for this hair cut. His hair was
bad the whole film.

Speaker 3 (47:06):
I I couldn't help if they chose him because he
wasn't I mean, he was good, but he looked like
a little like Paul McCartney, And I was like, was
it kind of like the the kind of like we
got well, we gotta right, or maybe that's just it
was a coincidence. Trage for I love the Beatles, Please

it's just fog rolling in and the play that's where
it rolls in from.

where she's like, if I fall in love with you, oh,
I promise to not like bang anyone else. I don't know.

Speaker 3 (48:53):

song and make it as slow as possible, like a
much slower version, so that back in love with you,
would you promise to be true? Became like oh you know. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (49:13):
It was annoying.

Speaker 3 (49:14):
Yeah, I think you're right about that trage for no
Sexy Sadie her name was Sadie, And yet they didn't
sing the song sexy Sadi, which I think Jojo would
have eaten up.

They are not just.

Speaker 2 (49:35):

who were like helping the government with the military, and

(50:58):
it resonated. It resonated with current events. Whoa and recent
student protests on Columbia's campus. WHOA Wow. Okay, uh, let's
sing our way into our next segment. How to pretend
you've seen this film? This is to save Sienna's life.

(51:22):
This is uh. We are across to an alternate universe
in which Sienna's life is a little bit better because
she hasn't had to watch across the universe. Just a
little better, just a little You are at a demonstration.
You are at a peace march, whoa and Jude.

Speaker 3 (51:40):
Jude comes up to you.

Speaker 2 (51:42):
Jude comes up to you and says.

Speaker 3 (51:45):
I love to come to these peace marches for a while,
just so I can find some people to talk to
you about my favorite movie. No notes, Oh, woman directed it? Well,
it didn't look like it like it seems like a
man did it, which is great. Uh, I'm gonna tell
you all about that movie all two. I'm gonna explain
it and explain the Beatles at you so that you
can't talk about how much you like them.

Speaker 2 (52:07):
And in order to let Jude go, wait, what's the song?

Speaker 3 (52:18):
Don't don't make it? Don't hey, Jude, don't make it bad.

Speaker 2 (52:25):
In order to stop Jude from making it bad, We're
gonna give you a few sentences that you can say
to pretend you've seen the film Across the Universe. Yes, Jude,
I've seen Across the Universe, which was of course directed
by Julie Tamoor, very famous for having directed The Lion

(52:45):
King on Broadway, which really explains the puppets in this movie.

Speaker 3 (52:54):
Yes, yes, Jude, I have seen the film Across the Universe.
I knew slightly this Laura about uh, the song Dear Prudence.
This is just a Beatles fact. The song of Dear
Prudence I knew was about like someone's sister who was
just kind of like in her room a lot and
didn't want to like hang when they were all sort
of like on vacation or overseas or somewhere. But apparently

(53:20):
it's mea pharaoh's sister. Mea pharaoh's sister, Prudence. Why won't
people leave that woman alone? Why is she everwhere? God?

Speaker 2 (53:28):
Oh my god?

Speaker 3 (53:29):
Anyway, that Meia Pharaoh. And I know that John Lennon
wrote this song sort of based on this person. But
I've always wondered, even as like a kid, when I
knew this fact, I was like, did she did she?
Were they friends?

Speaker 2 (53:43):
Like?

Speaker 3 (53:43):
Was did she like that song? Or was it just
like this kind of heady music guy who was like, boy,
this is good. This girl never leaves a room. I
think I'll write a song about it, because imagine they
put it out and you're like, oh, you used my
name and talked about how I don't go outside.

Speaker 2 (53:58):
Hell I have depression.

Speaker 3 (54:01):
Yeah exactly.

Speaker 2 (54:03):
Yes, Jude, I've seen across the universe something personally offensive
in it. Is when they refer to Sadie as what
a fox for an older woman? This about a woman
who is twenty nine at most.

Speaker 3 (54:19):
So ft Okay, this makes sense to me. This makes
sense to me. This makes sense to me. This makes
sense to me. This is exactly as we thought. Yes, Jude,
I have seen the film across the universe. Salma Hayek
specifically requested to appear in the films. That's what it
seemed like to me, because why else would she. When

(54:41):
director Julie Taymore mentioned the role of the Bang Bang
Shoot Shoot, nurse Hyak replied, just one of the nurses.

Speaker 2 (54:49):
Julie, Oh oh, it makes sense to me.

Speaker 3 (54:53):
That was her idea.

Speaker 2 (54:54):
Okay, I love that so much. I love so much
to be like, I want to be in this film,
but I want to be in at five time, and
I now the same.

Speaker 3 (55:02):
Time my issues with it that I talked about, because
if that was caused simply by an actor being like
I want.

Speaker 2 (55:10):
It big, I'm doing it.

Speaker 3 (55:11):
Sure.

Speaker 2 (55:12):
Yeah, yeah, Jude, I've seen across the universe. Now, please
leave me and my friends alone. We are at a
peace march, and we are afterwards gonna go hang out
and be what you probably would refer to as promiscuous
dope fiends.

Speaker 3 (55:31):
I loved that phrase.

Speaker 2 (55:33):
Yeah, promiscuous dope fiends, I said, oh feeling seen?

Speaker 3 (55:39):
Yes, fine, yes, Jude, I have seen the film Across
the Universe. Apparently Paul McCartney and Yoko Ono were supportive
of this and in touch with Julie Taymoor and like
Ringo and Paul and Yoko all thought it was cool
and have said positive things about it. Fine, what ever?

(56:02):
I just thought it was weird.

Speaker 2 (56:04):
So it's Paul, Ringo, John and George. Yes, and where's George?
Did he done?

Speaker 3 (56:12):
He died?

Speaker 2 (56:13):
Yes?

Speaker 3 (56:13):
Okay, he died dead young.

Speaker 2 (56:16):
That's too bad. Oh lung cancer?

Speaker 3 (56:19):
Oh and John was murdered. I do know that it's
actually insane. Yeah, it is insane.

Speaker 2 (56:29):
It's crazy.

Speaker 3 (56:31):
Okay, did we do it? Should we move on to
the next segment.

Speaker 2 (56:34):
Which is who cares? Even if we didn't? Let's go
Should you watch this?

Speaker 3 (56:42):
Or Leana? What do you think? Should you watch it? No?

Speaker 2 (56:44):
No, they don't need to watch this. I don't think
you have to watch Across the Universe. You could probably
listen to some Beatles songs. It turns out there's so many.

Speaker 3 (56:53):
Yeah, it's amazing.

Speaker 2 (56:54):
There's so many And what you could watch instead is
Mamma Mia, because now that good A fun jukebox musical.
That's a good film and a good time, a good time.

Speaker 3 (57:08):
See.

Speaker 2 (57:08):
I know, what would you say?

Speaker 3 (57:10):
I have a few recommendations. No, you don't even to
watch this movie. In fact, don't watch this movie. Don't
watch this movie. You don't have to. It's okay. It's
not bad. It's if you like it, it's fine. It's
it's not a bad person. I just it's not I
just we just don't get along. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (57:26):
But and you don't have to like everyone, and that's okay,
it's okay.

Speaker 3 (57:29):
Some things that you could do instead, I would say,
watch this TikTok, this jewel, Jewel. I'll give you the
vibe of the Shipyard Jukebox musical. And then if you
want a nerd out about the Beatles and watch the
thing that's really really long and nerd out about it,
then watch the Beatles documentary that they put out a
while ago, Get Back. That was super fun to nerd

(57:53):
out with. It's like incredibly long, but you get to watch.

Speaker 2 (57:56):
Them up close. It's incredibly long.

Speaker 3 (57:59):
I loved it though, because as a Beatles nerd, which fine,
I'll admit it. I am which is which is fine?

Speaker 2 (58:08):
Is this a series a docu or is it a movie?
You're reckoning with yourself falling asleep at the same time.

Speaker 3 (58:19):
And then also you could watch well, let's see if
I remember what I was gonna say, Beatles documentary Julie
and well, guess what I don't remember? And that is fine?

Speaker 2 (58:37):
Full circle from synopsis. Should you watch this or you
know what? I don't remember?

Speaker 3 (58:43):
What?

Speaker 2 (58:43):
Would you hate this movie? I'm you know whatever? I
would give across the Universe three strawberries out of five.
I thought some of the commentary was good slash relevant.
I thought the performances were mostly goods. I thought Max
was very beautiful and I loved watching him sing and blink.

(59:07):
It was annoying. It was annoying.

Speaker 3 (59:10):
It's exactly annoying.

Speaker 2 (59:11):
I don't get why they did all the things they
did in it. And the love story was a little
bit like, eh, okay, hmm, I agree, See, I know what?
What would you read?

Speaker 3 (59:23):
It a good assessment? It's nice to hear that assessment
from someone who has a normal relationship with it. Oh.
The other thing I was going to say was that
you could look up more about Spider Man turn Off
the Dark, Oh yeah, which is just wonderful and entertaining.

Speaker 2 (59:36):
I would give it rich Field.

Speaker 3 (59:38):
And I agree with everything that you just said, and
also think that it's not I want to make it
clear it's not. It's just it's a style thing you could.

Speaker 2 (59:45):
Like, absolutely absolutely, And so you had.

Speaker 3 (59:47):
A commentary I did enjoy and I thought was nuanced.
But I'll go ahead and give this one Selma Hayek
out of five, Oh my god, out of five.

Speaker 2 (59:58):
That's exactly where he's a fine number.

Speaker 3 (01:00:00):
That's fine in terms of some hikes.

Speaker 2 (01:00:03):
That's how many there are in real life.

Speaker 3 (01:00:05):
Yeah, it wasn't. It wasn't something I wanted any part of.
But I guess it's okay and kind of silly that
they made it.

Speaker 2 (01:00:13):
So perfect.

Speaker 3 (01:00:14):
Why everybody, we did it? I can't believe we did this.

Speaker 2 (01:00:17):
Did it? You can go to bed and I can
go to the airport.

Speaker 3 (01:00:23):
I think this was the right one to do. In
an insane way like this, I'm like, of course here, yeah,
And my stomach has been grumbling on Mike because it's
breakfast time. What is it? What's up? Demons? Is that
what you said?

Speaker 2 (01:00:36):
What up, demons? It's me Yeah, boy, That's how I'm.

Speaker 3 (01:00:40):
Feeling right now.
