Speaker 1 (00:00):
What was a gen Z story I saw yesterday on
a second guy screenshot?
Speaker 2 (00:04):
No, I didn't, damn it, did I not? Oh, I
guess I didn't. Well, there's another gen Z story.
Speaker 1 (00:10):
Maybe I thought, maybe I thought I'd be picking on
gen zs if I did the one. I can't remember
what it was. But there's this one. Gen Z is
driving movie attendant. Gen Z is emerging as the most
active cinema going I've ever seen that word before. Is
that one word, cinema going? It is in this thing
cinema going demographic. A new study reveals the gen z
(00:30):
Is take in more films per year than their elders,
and they spend more per visit on premium format screens
like IMAX as well as concessions. The study found for
the generation going to the movies is primarily seen as
a social activity. Gen Z also attributes a better selection
of movies in the appeal of leaving the house as
key drivers of attendant. Better selection, better selection at your house,
(00:54):
you can watch any movie you ever thought of in
the world. Now you need to have like forty seven
subscriptions if you want to do that, which costs more
than cable ever did. But yeah, just so gen z
Ers are the ones going to the movie theater apparently.
But this is something that I had this other list
that I want to bring up, and this is why
I'm bringing this up. Jason, you have never seen a
(01:15):
movie in your life and it wasn't Taylor Swift to
the Tour movie. Yes, and then Crossroads with Britney Spear.
I own that one on your right, on right.
Speaker 2 (01:26):
Own their own. Weirdly, he loved a league of their own.
I love a league of their own their own. Okay,
that's random.
Speaker 3 (01:32):
Well, my favorite movie all time is Pitch Perfect. Oh
that's more movies than I thought you've seen, really, And
Titanic I've seen. That's about it, okay. And I'm not
a big movie guy.
Speaker 1 (01:41):
And I'm certainly not the guy that's like, oh, you know,
you know, when someone's what's that from?
Speaker 2 (01:46):
I don't know what, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (01:47):
I mean, I've seen a lot more movies than Jason,
But like, I'm not the guy that's running out to
the theaters. And my parents see every movie somehow, but
that's not because of the movie. That's because they go
there and they got the big chairs and they'll bring
you pizza and popcorn and wine. Beautiful, Right, that's like
what movie you see? It's like, I don't know. At
two pm, you don't even know what movie you saw,
(02:07):
but you're hammered and you get pizza all over your face. Yes,
So this list is at least some people's opinion of
the top the top twelve most iconic movies that still
hold up, in no particular order.
Speaker 2 (02:22):
So what would you put on this list?
Speaker 1 (02:23):
What is a movie that you think will either does
or will stand the test of time. I want to
see how many of these Jason has seen, but I
want to know from you two eight, five, five, five, nine,
one one o three five Because gen Z, I guess
that's that one generation younger than you know. I can't
keep this all straight. Gen X, gen y, gen Z, millennial?
What else we got, baby boomer? What are the ones
(02:46):
we got?
Speaker 4 (02:46):
Because I'm a millennial. So the next one would be
gen Z?
Speaker 2 (02:49):
Right right?
Speaker 1 (02:50):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (02:50):
Yeah, okay, so you're right after them?
Speaker 5 (02:52):
Yeah Alpha something Jen Alpha or Alpha No Jen, Alfie.
Speaker 2 (02:56):
Don't it's under gen Z.
Speaker 5 (02:57):
Yeah they're no, they're like the little ones, which I say,
think we have hope for them. I'm hearing.
Speaker 1 (03:01):
So that's because they're being raised by me j X millennial.
Speaker 5 (03:06):
I think so yeah, I think that we're we did
a little bit of therapy and now we're raising like
kids a little bit.
Speaker 1 (03:12):
Because I'm not here to make fun of any generation,
because I feel like I'm a part of all of
them somehow. I feel like depending on the day, I
have big big boomer tendencies.
Speaker 2 (03:22):
Big baby boomer tendencies.
Speaker 1 (03:23):
And then the days of probably jen alpha maturity level,
so I we really depends.
Speaker 2 (03:28):
I scan the gamut.
Speaker 1 (03:30):
Have you seen and this is from I don't know
if these were in any particular order, but twelve to one?
Have you seen Dead Poet? I know this Dead Poets Society?
Speaker 4 (03:38):
No, I know the Tortured Poets Department.
Speaker 2 (03:44):
Robin William Rob actually did. Now, granted that's from eighty nine.
What you were You born?
Speaker 1 (03:50):
Okay, I mean there's stuff on this list that I've
seen and I was one or zero or not born yet,
So I mean I've still seen it.
Speaker 2 (03:59):
The Goony.
Speaker 3 (04:01):
No, but it's Cully Clarkson's favorite movie, so I feel
like I should have seen it.
Speaker 2 (04:04):
But no, that's a good one. Now this one tried
up your alley. Have you seen Dirty dancing.
Speaker 5 (04:09):
I have.
Speaker 4 (04:09):
I've seen dirty dancing on DH one.
Speaker 2 (04:11):
That's a good one.
Speaker 3 (04:12):
I was little. It would play on h the commercials. Yeah,
right right, that's Senny lifts her. Yeah, and what was it?
I haven't seen it in a long time. Of course
we all know the song. But the premise is the
girl goes on vacation, falls in love with the dance instructor.
Speaker 2 (04:27):
Is that what it is? And the time I can't dance?
Speaker 1 (04:30):
Right?
Speaker 5 (04:30):
No, that's footlots honey.
Speaker 2 (04:34):
The movies, nobody puts in the corner.
Speaker 1 (04:36):
Right, It's like a kind of an innocent It was
like an innocent like like preppy girl winds up with
like a kind of a hard nose, you know, like
oiled up dancer guy.
Speaker 2 (04:49):
Yeah, then how we.
Speaker 6 (04:51):
Described Yeah, it was taken a summer away from the
peace corpse.
Speaker 2 (04:57):

speak your truth, apparently.
Speaker 6 (05:22):
Will hot Mass please don't go to Twitter.
Speaker 1 (05:24):
So she gets back from the Peace Corps. Yes, and
all I know is like Patrick Swayzey, Like the way
he's dancing with her is like, you know, we're all
like clutching.
Speaker 2 (05:35):
What a feeling? Yeah right, that's that movie.
Speaker 6 (05:38):
To her father tried to stop her from seeing him, Yes,
what a feeling?
Speaker 2 (05:42):
Flashands he's not a different movie, I think.
Speaker 1 (05:47):
Okay, you mentioned at these movies up all right, have
you seen rain Man? Okay, you've seen Top Gun. I
know I've seen that record.
Speaker 3 (05:58):
Oh no, no one, top Gun is, but I don't
think i've ever seen it cruise right.
Speaker 1 (06:03):
Yeah, it's pretty timeless. I mean it looks very old
timing now. But I can't believe you didn't have any
curiosity when the New One came out and you went
and saw that, like where did this all come from?
New One?
Speaker 2 (06:14):
First?
Speaker 5 (06:15):
And like like to that first? I'm like, well, I
have news for you, sister.
Speaker 4 (06:18):
There's a better one.
Speaker 2 (06:19):
Okay, Ferris Bueller's Day Off.
Speaker 4 (06:21):
I have seen that VH one.
Speaker 2 (06:25):
H one Raiders of the Lost Arc.
Speaker 4 (06:29):
No, is that like a cartoon back.
Speaker 2 (06:31):
No, back to the Future. No, really I heard it,
but like I don't.
Speaker 4 (06:37):
I haven't seen it.
Speaker 2 (06:38):
I know I'm bad.
Speaker 1 (06:39):
Well, you and I can relate on this one. Star Wars,
anything Wars, Fire Strikes Back. I had no Star Wars
and at this point I'm just not going to do
it now.
Speaker 2 (06:48):
I do it just to piss people off. Correct.
Speaker 1 (06:49):
Yeah, now for the rest of my life. It's a
conversation started your dad.
Speaker 3 (06:55):
What my dad was like super into Star Wars and
like Star Trek growing up.
Speaker 4 (06:59):
So I think that I was around it, but I
would never watch it. This is weird.
Speaker 2 (07:03):
Oh what a feeling from fame. So different movie. Well,
I just wanted to sing.
Speaker 1 (07:07):
Yeah, clearly the Shining I can the Breakfast Club.
Speaker 3 (07:13):
I have VH one, So VH one's biggest fan watch,
VH one gone and absolutely not. No, it's still there.
It just shows like old movies, TV.
Speaker 1 (07:26):
Video hits one has moved on to something. Now they're
playing they're playing movies and Jason's ever seen before. I'm
finally the number one movie that whoever these people are
are saying is timeless et oh timeless.
Speaker 5 (07:39):
No, I disagree with a lot of this listless, Okay,
what's timeless?
Speaker 2 (07:43):
Then? Okay, so to come to mind?
Speaker 5 (07:45):
I oh, okay, okay for sure, almost famous for sure
now and then and Scarface.
Speaker 4 (07:52):
Sorry, that's three.
Speaker 2 (07:52):
That's a good one. Okay, well Scarface is what seventies sixties?
Speaker 1 (07:55):
All I know is whoever wrote this list is probably
around my age because you're all eighties movie.
Speaker 5 (08:00):
But like, I feel like there's a difference between a classic,
like if I watch et, I know that was made
a long time ago. Like I feel like those three movies,
like they don't look so old timey.
Speaker 1 (08:10):
But an alien coming down with his finger that glows,
that's timeless.
Speaker 2 (08:14):
No, I agree, that happens all the time. And then
they go off to the note that happens that happened yesterday.
You were in that ride at Universal. That's my favorite ride.
Speaker 5 (08:21):
You literally ride on a bike and you like go
through the night sky, Like, wow, that's cool.
Speaker 2 (08:26):
I don't think so. I haven't been a Universal for
a long time. No, that was cool? Was wow? There
you go, he's eat here? Can you tell which one
of us was in high school musicals?
Speaker 3 (08:39):
Better than these are the radio blogs on.
Speaker 2 (08:43):
The Fred Show.
Speaker 1 (08:44):
It's like we're riding in our diaries, except we say
them aloud. We call them blogs. I haven't done one.
In a minute, I'm going to do one because I
have an observation. Dear blog. Keiky and I came back
from our field trip. We had a workfield trip. We
were in Charlotte, North Carolina. Shout out to Charlotte, North Carolina. Yes, slowly,
but surely it's the little engine that could it is.
You know, we've been on for ninety days and we
(09:04):
have several listeners, which is exciting if you're in Cherlih.
Speaker 2 (09:07):
Thank you.
Speaker 1 (09:08):
The show's growing, guys, because this is what we got
to do, all right, this is what's gonna take these days.
What is it for us to hang on to our jobs?
We gotta keep growing. You got a city you want us,
we'll go. We'll go on a road show. There's seventeen
of us and one of us will go wherever you want.
So we're coming back from the airport in an uber
and first of all uber at a kip. So you know,
(09:30):
I don't these guys can. Here's the destination, right, they
knew where we were going. My house and in the
office for Kiki, she wasn't coming over.
Speaker 2 (09:37):
She had enough. She had three days of me.
Speaker 1 (09:39):
It was enough what you getting. So they had the deaths,
don't worry about it. We weren't in Charlotte. We were
in Hawaii. We were you know, it's like the Mike
Rabel relationship. It's like it's like DNA, whatever name is. Yeah,
we were holding hands in a resort in Sedona. Yeah,
exactly right. If you zoom out a little bit in
that Mike Rabel photo, you'll see Kiki and I holding hands.
Speaker 2 (09:58):
Right.
Speaker 1 (10:01):
But so they knew the address, and so I'm just
sort of watching as long as we drive and realizing
that the guy missed several turns. I like he wasn't
paying atten like obviously, and it's fine, Like the guy
was a very nice guy and a very nice car
and whatever else. But like I could just see him
missed one, miss two, miss three. I don't know what
he was doing. But like we were now going, I
don't know where we were going, and so part of
(10:22):
me is like, does he even have the right address?
But he said to me the address loud, so he
did so. Number one uber etiquette. Do you say to
the driver you're in their car? Do you go, hey,
you miss the turn? Right, I think that's kind of rude.
So I didn't say anything. But then what was crazy
is that in order to sort of save the situation,
he found some alleyway and we were like going down
(10:45):
this alleyway with like a quarter inch on each side
of it. It's not a thoroughfare, like you're not supposed
to do it, and it's his car, like we weren't
gonna die. But I mean, I'm just I'm watching this,
like is this a good idea? I was very uncomfortable,
But really the question is here, and the purpose of
my blog is I could have saved him a couple times,
(11:05):
but I didn't want to be that guy. If you're
an Uber driver or a rid share driver and your
passenger recognizes that you might not be focused on getting
to where we're going, do you want them to say
something or is it rude? Because maybe you have a
better way. I'm thinking, I don't think there's a better
way because you're in my neighborhood, but maybe about to
show me a better way.
Speaker 2 (11:26):
But he didn't. He showed me a way.
Speaker 1 (11:27):
That I thought maybe he was going to take off
half his car.
Speaker 6 (11:31):
No, literally, I would just sitting there and join the
free ride and then I kind of I looked up
from TikTok and I'm like, wait a minute, I said,
now I know this job don't pay a lot of
fred living in a hood, because why are we in
the back of an alley?
Speaker 2 (11:41):
You know what is going on?
Speaker 1 (11:47):
I was like, yeah, the entrance, cause you never been
in my house. The entrance in my house is next
to a dumpster. It is a dumpster. Times are tough,
you guys. This is my house. Whoa, it's a big
dumbled Look how big the dumpster is that It's so nice?
Speaker 2 (12:01):
It was crazy.
Speaker 6 (12:02):
So yeah, I was sitting there, but I was like,
I can't say anything because I don't know where we're
supposed to be going. But as a woman, I have
been in the back of a rideshare car and I
can tell that they're not following the map. But in
my mind, I think automatically, you're trying to kidnap me
because for some reason, I see everybody want me. So
I'm like, oh, he's trying to kill me. So what
I will do now is I turn on my Google
(12:22):
Maps and let I put the sound on.
Speaker 2 (12:24):
No, that's passive aggressive. Turn left.
Speaker 6 (12:28):
Yeah, my navigation starts talking because I need you to
know that I know that you're not following the.
Speaker 2 (12:32):
Directions and I know where you're supposed to be turning.
Speaker 6 (12:35):
So I'll just turn it on and let it play,
and then I'll say, oh, I got oh yeah, I'm
gonna just take a shortcut, and I'm like, you were
trying to kill me.
Speaker 1 (12:43):
Because like, if you're in a major, major metropolitan city, Chicago,
New York especially, I don't know, actually I can't speak
to but Chicago, for example, the GPS, the Uber GPS
doesn't always work very well, and sometimes it'll like show
us spinning in circles and I'm like, well, we're not
we're not dancing, we're not doing a tooral the car,
we're not in the lake, we're not you know, in
top of a building.
Speaker 2 (13:02):
Right now. We did that, leffiitate, you know.
Speaker 1 (13:05):
So I think sometimes these guys in the city they
know a better way or they or they know a
way around traffic. So in the city, I just let
him go because honestly, there's one hundred ways to get
you know. Again, I don't mean to make this Chicago centric,
but if you've been to Chicago or if you live here,
there's lower wack or middlewack or upper weacker.
Speaker 2 (13:23):
You got.
Speaker 1 (13:23):
You can go under ground, you can go in the air,
you can go around rallies. Apparently yes, but I'm not
kidding when I at one point it was probably a
block in this alley, and there was a there was
a delivery driving truck, because that's what it's intended for,
is for the delivery drivers to pull in there and
then go into the restaurants and stuff in the back.
At one point he had to actually close his door
(13:44):
and then move his mirror because that was the only
margin that we had to get.
Speaker 5 (13:47):
Through this hysterical I think it's now you say how
you say it? I have said it before, and then
I've asked them afterwards if it bothers them.
Speaker 2 (13:55):
I think if I.
Speaker 5 (13:56):
Notice them like struggling or because getting an uber where
we work is very confusing sometimes for them, and like
if we're getting out or if they're dropping me off,
I'll just be like, oh, yeah, you can just go
left right here if if you want to, And then
afterwards I'll be like, I'm sorry, I hate doing that.
I just you know, my suggestion because it's hard to
get to and then they usually say no, I prefer
you tell me.
Speaker 2 (14:16):
That's just someone just texted you.
Speaker 1 (14:17):
I prefer you say something and give me the best
root if there is one someone else did. I always
think that they're trying to add money to the fair
by going the wrong way. In this case, I paid
a flat fee because I love this service and I
love well no, because well, because it's the same price
as an Uber. I'm not going to plug the guy
because well he does give me a little nice cars
and stuff. Chaut out to a one Transportation, Hey, a
(14:39):
one Classic Transport.
Speaker 2 (14:40):
It's a free advertiser for my guy.
Speaker 6 (14:42):
You might go through an alley, but it's all good.
Speaker 1 (14:44):
But he know it's the same price as an uber,
but like they have your flight, so they it's exact
same price as an Uber. But they'll they're they're there,
so you don't have to like go to the airport
and be like where is the uber thaying? And then
text you know, and then you know if you order
the Uber. But like maybe because I always try and
get cute, you know where I like uber will land
(15:06):
and I'll be like, okay, I think I can get
out there, like in eight minutes or something, so then
I'll order the Uber. But then they're like, oh, sorry,
there's no one here to get the thing up the
jet bridge up to the planes that we're gonna have
to sit here for twenty minutes. Or you land in
you know, Chicago and New York and you're like, oh,
we're here, No you're not. You are thirty five minutes
away from here. Oh yeah, I added in a different
zip code, like go to Dallas Fort Worth International Airport.
(15:30):
You physically, like when you land, the little thing on
the map on the seatback tells you how far you
are from the destination. You're still three miles away from
the destination when you're on the ground. So I'll get
cute though and be like all right, Uber because I
don't want to wait. And then by the time then
they get mad, you get to pay because it's like
you're not gonna get out there in time.
Speaker 2 (15:47):
So I plan this, go to Zone C, Zone D.
I'm there, go down right, I said, we'll we're picking
up on the arrivals.
Speaker 1 (15:54):
Well I'm I just arrived, or we're picking up in
the departures, but I just arrived.
Speaker 5 (15:59):
Like anyway, taxi line all day at the airport because
there's like no one in it anymore because they're all
still looking for the Uber line and I don't want
to go up down. I do baggage claim exactly, we're
out of here.
Speaker 1 (16:08):
No, So the pickups on the on the drop offs,
this is this is a pro tip.
Speaker 2 (16:13):
Tell us about your driving uber on My driver where.
Speaker 1 (16:17):
He picked well apparently he you know, scratches the hell
out of his car to take to take his home.
But he was really it was a real hero move
because I think he realized that it was going to
add like probably ten minutes to the drive because we
were so out of the way. It was a real
hero move on his and he was sacrificing his own
car and he made it. He did do it. He
did it a great job. But I could have saved it.
And that was the whole point of this was do
(16:38):
you say something or I don't. Here's another one. I
don't mind when a rider suggests a different routes let
me see here, but it bugs me when they suggest
very last minute, so I would have to take a
sharp turn. My brothers Huber in New York, took a
short cut and drove on the sidewalk. I had another
(17:01):
guy from it was an Uber actually it was a
ride share and this dude, this dude, he just took
the shoulder all the way down the freeway and he said,
I know you want to get home, and I'm like,
I do.
Speaker 2 (17:13):
But it was it was completely illegal. I did.
Speaker 1 (17:16):
But I'm like, dude, we're gonna get pulled over and
you're gonna go to jail and then I'm gonna get
stuck halfway between the airport in my house. And this
was not a one I'll have you know. But but seriously,
we're just He's just like, dude, we got to get there.
I'm like, yeah, we do.
Speaker 2 (17:28):
We're just.
Speaker 1 (17:31):
Because you know how, like in the on the sides
of highways they'll put like the the rumble strips.
Speaker 5 (17:35):
In or whatever, created by someone who went to your school,
your high school. Really, yes, they made a bowtload of
money on those, Like, ah, someone made money off that.
Someone was like, what if there were strips that alert
you go off? Right? Like, why didn't I think of that?
Speaker 1 (17:52):
Apparently Google Maps gives a slightly different route from Uber GPS. Okay, yeah,
I don't know anyway, So here's so passive aggressive of
your k you do just get kidnapped in the background
you turn left, turn left, turn left.
Speaker 2 (18:08):
Shout out to this guy.
Speaker 1 (18:09):
I was just really ten minutes later, I was just wondering,
you're supposed to say something or just let you know.
Jesus take the wheel, which is what we did.
What was a gen Z story I saw yesterday on
a second guy screenshot?
Speaker 2 (00:04):
No, I didn't, damn it, did I not? Oh, I
guess I didn't. Well, there's another gen Z story.
Speaker 1 (00:10):
Maybe I thought, maybe I thought I'd be picking on
gen zs if I did the one. I can't remember
what it was. But there's this one. Gen Z is
driving movie attendant. Gen Z is emerging as the most
active cinema going I've ever seen that word before. Is
that one word, cinema going? It is in this thing
cinema going demographic. A new study reveals the gen z
(00:30):
Is take in more films per year than their elders,
and they spend more per visit on premium format screens
like IMAX as well as concessions. The study found for
the generation going to the movies is primarily seen as
a social activity. Gen Z also attributes a better selection
of movies in the appeal of leaving the house as
key drivers of attendant. Better selection, better selection at your house,
(00:54):
you can watch any movie you ever thought of in
the world. Now you need to have like forty seven
subscriptions if you want to do that, which costs more
than cable ever did. But yeah, just so gen z
Ers are the ones going to the movie theater apparently.
But this is something that I had this other list
that I want to bring up, and this is why
I'm bringing this up. Jason, you have never seen a
(01:15):
movie in your life and it wasn't Taylor Swift to
the Tour movie. Yes, and then Crossroads with Britney Spear.
I own that one on your right, on right.
Speaker 2 (01:26):
Own their own. Weirdly, he loved a league of their own.
I love a league of their own their own. Okay,
that's random.
Speaker 3 (01:32):
Well, my favorite movie all time is Pitch Perfect. Oh
that's more movies than I thought you've seen, really, And
Titanic I've seen. That's about it, okay. And I'm not
a big movie guy.
Speaker 1 (01:41):
And I'm certainly not the guy that's like, oh, you know,
you know, when someone's what's that from?
Speaker 2 (01:46):
I don't know what, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (01:47):
I mean, I've seen a lot more movies than Jason,
But like, I'm not the guy that's running out to
the theaters. And my parents see every movie somehow, but
that's not because of the movie. That's because they go
there and they got the big chairs and they'll bring
you pizza and popcorn and wine. Beautiful, Right, that's like
what movie you see? It's like, I don't know. At
two pm, you don't even know what movie you saw,
(02:07):
but you're hammered and you get pizza all over your face. Yes,
So this list is at least some people's opinion of
the top the top twelve most iconic movies that still
hold up, in no particular order.
Speaker 2 (02:22):
So what would you put on this list?
Speaker 1 (02:23):
What is a movie that you think will either does
or will stand the test of time. I want to
see how many of these Jason has seen, but I
want to know from you two eight, five, five, five, nine,
one one o three five Because gen Z, I guess
that's that one generation younger than you know. I can't
keep this all straight. Gen X, gen y, gen Z, millennial?
What else we got, baby boomer? What are the ones
(02:46):
we got?
Speaker 4 (02:46):
Because I'm a millennial. So the next one would be
gen Z?
Speaker 2 (02:49):
Right right?
Speaker 1 (02:50):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (02:50):
Yeah, okay, so you're right after them?
Speaker 5 (02:52):
Yeah Alpha something Jen Alpha or Alpha No Jen, Alfie.
Speaker 2 (02:56):
Don't it's under gen Z.
Speaker 5 (02:57):
Yeah they're no, they're like the little ones, which I say,
think we have hope for them. I'm hearing.
Speaker 1 (03:01):
So that's because they're being raised by me j X millennial.
Speaker 5 (03:06):
I think so yeah, I think that we're we did
a little bit of therapy and now we're raising like
kids a little bit.
Speaker 1 (03:12):
Because I'm not here to make fun of any generation,
because I feel like I'm a part of all of
them somehow. I feel like depending on the day, I
have big big boomer tendencies.
Speaker 2 (03:22):
Big baby boomer tendencies.
Speaker 1 (03:23):
And then the days of probably jen alpha maturity level,
so I we really depends.
Speaker 2 (03:28):
I scan the gamut.
Speaker 1 (03:30):
Have you seen and this is from I don't know
if these were in any particular order, but twelve to one?
Have you seen Dead Poet? I know this Dead Poets Society?
Speaker 4 (03:38):
No, I know the Tortured Poets Department.
Speaker 2 (03:44):
Robin William Rob actually did. Now, granted that's from eighty nine.
What you were You born?
Speaker 1 (03:50):
Okay, I mean there's stuff on this list that I've
seen and I was one or zero or not born yet,
So I mean I've still seen it.
Speaker 2 (03:59):
The Goony.
Speaker 3 (04:01):
No, but it's Cully Clarkson's favorite movie, so I feel
like I should have seen it.
Speaker 2 (04:04):
But no, that's a good one. Now this one tried
up your alley. Have you seen Dirty dancing.
Speaker 5 (04:09):
I have.
Speaker 4 (04:09):
I've seen dirty dancing on DH one.
Speaker 2 (04:11):
That's a good one.
Speaker 3 (04:12):
I was little. It would play on h the commercials. Yeah,
right right, that's Senny lifts her. Yeah, and what was it?
I haven't seen it in a long time. Of course
we all know the song. But the premise is the
girl goes on vacation, falls in love with the dance instructor.
Speaker 2 (04:27):
Is that what it is? And the time I can't dance?
Speaker 1 (04:30):
Right?
Speaker 5 (04:30):
No, that's footlots honey.
Speaker 2 (04:34):
The movies, nobody puts in the corner.
Speaker 1 (04:36):
Right, It's like a kind of an innocent It was
like an innocent like like preppy girl winds up with
like a kind of a hard nose, you know, like
oiled up dancer guy.
Speaker 2 (04:49):
Yeah, then how we.
Speaker 6 (04:51):
Described Yeah, it was taken a summer away from the
peace corpse.
Speaker 2 (04:57):
I forgot that she was enjoying her go to Twitter.
Speaker 3 (05:01):
She doesn't believe in the Please don't go to my Twitter, bro,
pleaseky got hacked?
Speaker 2 (05:08):

all of a sudden spewing a very particular which hey
do you girl?
Speaker 2 (05:15):
Whatever you know me? I you do what you gotta do?
I just got back from a convention. You speak, you
speak your truth, apparently.
Speaker 6 (05:22):
Will hot Mass please don't go to Twitter.
Speaker 1 (05:24):
So she gets back from the Peace Corps. Yes, and
all I know is like Patrick Swayzey, Like the way
he's dancing with her is like, you know, we're all
like clutching.
Speaker 2 (05:35):
What a feeling? Yeah right, that's that movie.
Speaker 6 (05:38):
To her father tried to stop her from seeing him, Yes,
what a feeling?
Speaker 2 (05:42):
Flashands he's not a different movie, I think.
Speaker 1 (05:47):
Okay, you mentioned at these movies up all right, have
you seen rain Man? Okay, you've seen Top Gun. I
know I've seen that record.
Speaker 3 (05:58):
Oh no, no one, top Gun is, but I don't
think i've ever seen it cruise right.
Speaker 1 (06:03):
Yeah, it's pretty timeless. I mean it looks very old
timing now. But I can't believe you didn't have any
curiosity when the New One came out and you went
and saw that, like where did this all come from?
New One?
Speaker 2 (06:14):
First?
Speaker 5 (06:15):
And like like to that first? I'm like, well, I
have news for you, sister.
Speaker 4 (06:18):
There's a better one.
Speaker 2 (06:19):
Okay, Ferris Bueller's Day Off.
Speaker 4 (06:21):
I have seen that VH one.
Speaker 2 (06:25):
H one Raiders of the Lost Arc.
Speaker 4 (06:29):
No, is that like a cartoon back.
Speaker 2 (06:31):
No, back to the Future. No, really I heard it,
but like I don't.
Speaker 4 (06:37):
I haven't seen it.
Speaker 2 (06:38):
I know I'm bad.
Speaker 1 (06:39):
Well, you and I can relate on this one. Star Wars,
anything Wars, Fire Strikes Back. I had no Star Wars
and at this point I'm just not going to do
it now.
Speaker 2 (06:48):
I do it just to piss people off. Correct.
Speaker 1 (06:49):
Yeah, now for the rest of my life. It's a
conversation started your dad.
Speaker 3 (06:55):
What my dad was like super into Star Wars and
like Star Trek growing up.
Speaker 4 (06:59):
So I think that I was around it, but I
would never watch it. This is weird.
Speaker 2 (07:03):
Oh what a feeling from fame. So different movie. Well,
I just wanted to sing.
Speaker 1 (07:07):
Yeah, clearly the Shining I can the Breakfast Club.
Speaker 3 (07:13):
I have VH one, So VH one's biggest fan watch,
VH one gone and absolutely not. No, it's still there.
It just shows like old movies, TV.
Speaker 1 (07:26):
Video hits one has moved on to something. Now they're
playing they're playing movies and Jason's ever seen before. I'm
finally the number one movie that whoever these people are
are saying is timeless et oh timeless.
Speaker 5 (07:39):
No, I disagree with a lot of this listless, Okay,
what's timeless?
Speaker 2 (07:43):
Then? Okay, so to come to mind?
Speaker 5 (07:45):
I oh, okay, okay for sure, almost famous for sure
now and then and Scarface.
Speaker 4 (07:52):
Sorry, that's three.
Speaker 2 (07:52):
That's a good one. Okay, well Scarface is what seventies sixties?
Speaker 1 (07:55):
All I know is whoever wrote this list is probably
around my age because you're all eighties movie.
Speaker 5 (08:00):
But like, I feel like there's a difference between a classic,
like if I watch et, I know that was made
a long time ago. Like I feel like those three movies,
like they don't look so old timey.
Speaker 1 (08:10):
But an alien coming down with his finger that glows,
that's timeless.
Speaker 2 (08:14):
No, I agree, that happens all the time. And then
they go off to the note that happens that happened yesterday.
You were in that ride at Universal. That's my favorite ride.
Speaker 5 (08:21):
You literally ride on a bike and you like go
through the night sky, Like, wow, that's cool.
Speaker 2 (08:26):
I don't think so. I haven't been a Universal for
a long time. No, that was cool? Was wow? There
you go, he's eat here? Can you tell which one
of us was in high school musicals?
Speaker 3 (08:39):
Better than these are the radio blogs on.
Speaker 2 (08:43):
The Fred Show.
Speaker 1 (08:44):
It's like we're riding in our diaries, except we say
them aloud. We call them blogs. I haven't done one.
In a minute, I'm going to do one because I
have an observation. Dear blog. Keiky and I came back
from our field trip. We had a workfield trip. We
were in Charlotte, North Carolina. Shout out to Charlotte, North Carolina. Yes, slowly,
but surely it's the little engine that could it is.
You know, we've been on for ninety days and we
(09:04):
have several listeners, which is exciting if you're in Cherlih.
Speaker 2 (09:07):
Thank you.
Speaker 1 (09:08):
The show's growing, guys, because this is what we got
to do, all right, this is what's gonna take these days.
What is it for us to hang on to our jobs?
We gotta keep growing. You got a city you want us,
we'll go. We'll go on a road show. There's seventeen
of us and one of us will go wherever you want.
So we're coming back from the airport in an uber
and first of all uber at a kip. So you know,
(09:30):
I don't these guys can. Here's the destination, right, they
knew where we were going. My house and in the
office for Kiki, she wasn't coming over.
Speaker 2 (09:37):
She had enough. She had three days of me.
Speaker 1 (09:39):
It was enough what you getting. So they had the deaths,
don't worry about it. We weren't in Charlotte. We were
in Hawaii. We were you know, it's like the Mike
Rabel relationship. It's like it's like DNA, whatever name is. Yeah,
we were holding hands in a resort in Sedona. Yeah,
exactly right. If you zoom out a little bit in
that Mike Rabel photo, you'll see Kiki and I holding hands.
Speaker 2 (09:58):
Right.
Speaker 1 (10:01):
But so they knew the address, and so I'm just
sort of watching as long as we drive and realizing
that the guy missed several turns. I like he wasn't
paying atten like obviously, and it's fine, Like the guy
was a very nice guy and a very nice car
and whatever else. But like I could just see him
missed one, miss two, miss three. I don't know what
he was doing. But like we were now going, I
don't know where we were going, and so part of
(10:22):
me is like, does he even have the right address?
But he said to me the address loud, so he
did so. Number one uber etiquette. Do you say to
the driver you're in their car? Do you go, hey,
you miss the turn? Right, I think that's kind of rude.
So I didn't say anything. But then what was crazy
is that in order to sort of save the situation,
he found some alleyway and we were like going down
(10:45):
this alleyway with like a quarter inch on each side
of it. It's not a thoroughfare, like you're not supposed
to do it, and it's his car, like we weren't
gonna die. But I mean, I'm just I'm watching this,
like is this a good idea? I was very uncomfortable,
But really the question is here, and the purpose of
my blog is I could have saved him a couple times,
(11:05):
but I didn't want to be that guy. If you're
an Uber driver or a rid share driver and your
passenger recognizes that you might not be focused on getting
to where we're going, do you want them to say
something or is it rude? Because maybe you have a
better way. I'm thinking, I don't think there's a better
way because you're in my neighborhood, but maybe about to
show me a better way.
Speaker 2 (11:26):
But he didn't. He showed me a way.
Speaker 1 (11:27):
That I thought maybe he was going to take off
half his car.
Speaker 6 (11:31):
No, literally, I would just sitting there and join the
free ride and then I kind of I looked up
from TikTok and I'm like, wait a minute, I said,
now I know this job don't pay a lot of
fred living in a hood, because why are we in
the back of an alley?
Speaker 2 (11:41):
You know what is going on?
Speaker 1 (11:47):
I was like, yeah, the entrance, cause you never been
in my house. The entrance in my house is next
to a dumpster. It is a dumpster. Times are tough,
you guys. This is my house. Whoa, it's a big
dumbled Look how big the dumpster is that It's so nice?
Speaker 2 (12:01):
It was crazy.
Speaker 6 (12:02):
So yeah, I was sitting there, but I was like,
I can't say anything because I don't know where we're
supposed to be going. But as a woman, I have
been in the back of a rideshare car and I
can tell that they're not following the map. But in
my mind, I think automatically, you're trying to kidnap me
because for some reason, I see everybody want me. So
I'm like, oh, he's trying to kill me. So what
I will do now is I turn on my Google
(12:22):
Maps and let I put the sound on.
Speaker 2 (12:24):
No, that's passive aggressive. Turn left.
Speaker 6 (12:28):
Yeah, my navigation starts talking because I need you to
know that I know that you're not following the.
Speaker 2 (12:32):
Directions and I know where you're supposed to be turning.
Speaker 6 (12:35):
So I'll just turn it on and let it play,
and then I'll say, oh, I got oh yeah, I'm
gonna just take a shortcut, and I'm like, you were
trying to kill me.
Speaker 1 (12:43):
Because like, if you're in a major, major metropolitan city, Chicago,
New York especially, I don't know, actually I can't speak
to but Chicago, for example, the GPS, the Uber GPS
doesn't always work very well, and sometimes it'll like show
us spinning in circles and I'm like, well, we're not
we're not dancing, we're not doing a tooral the car,
we're not in the lake, we're not you know, in
top of a building.
Speaker 2 (13:02):
Right now. We did that, leffiitate, you know.
Speaker 1 (13:05):
So I think sometimes these guys in the city they
know a better way or they or they know a
way around traffic. So in the city, I just let
him go because honestly, there's one hundred ways to get
you know. Again, I don't mean to make this Chicago centric,
but if you've been to Chicago or if you live here,
there's lower wack or middlewack or upper weacker.
Speaker 2 (13:23):
You got.
Speaker 1 (13:23):
You can go under ground, you can go in the air,
you can go around rallies. Apparently yes, but I'm not
kidding when I at one point it was probably a
block in this alley, and there was a there was
a delivery driving truck, because that's what it's intended for,
is for the delivery drivers to pull in there and
then go into the restaurants and stuff in the back.
At one point he had to actually close his door
(13:44):
and then move his mirror because that was the only
margin that we had to get.
Speaker 5 (13:47):
Through this hysterical I think it's now you say how
you say it? I have said it before, and then
I've asked them afterwards if it bothers them.
Speaker 2 (13:55):
I think if I.
Speaker 5 (13:56):
Notice them like struggling or because getting an uber where
we work is very confusing sometimes for them, and like
if we're getting out or if they're dropping me off,
I'll just be like, oh, yeah, you can just go
left right here if if you want to, And then
afterwards I'll be like, I'm sorry, I hate doing that.
I just you know, my suggestion because it's hard to
get to and then they usually say no, I prefer
you tell me.
Speaker 2 (14:16):
That's just someone just texted you.
Speaker 1 (14:17):
I prefer you say something and give me the best
root if there is one someone else did. I always
think that they're trying to add money to the fair
by going the wrong way. In this case, I paid
a flat fee because I love this service and I
love well no, because well, because it's the same price
as an Uber. I'm not going to plug the guy
because well he does give me a little nice cars
and stuff. Chaut out to a one Transportation, Hey, a
(14:39):
one Classic Transport.
Speaker 2 (14:40):
It's a free advertiser for my guy.
Speaker 6 (14:42):
You might go through an alley, but it's all good.
Speaker 1 (14:44):
But he know it's the same price as an uber,
but like they have your flight, so they it's exact
same price as an Uber. But they'll they're they're there,
so you don't have to like go to the airport
and be like where is the uber thaying? And then
text you know, and then you know if you order
the Uber. But like maybe because I always try and
get cute, you know where I like uber will land
(15:06):
and I'll be like, okay, I think I can get
out there, like in eight minutes or something, so then
I'll order the Uber. But then they're like, oh, sorry,
there's no one here to get the thing up the
jet bridge up to the planes that we're gonna have
to sit here for twenty minutes. Or you land in
you know, Chicago and New York and you're like, oh,
we're here, No you're not. You are thirty five minutes
away from here. Oh yeah, I added in a different
zip code, like go to Dallas Fort Worth International Airport.
(15:30):
You physically, like when you land, the little thing on
the map on the seatback tells you how far you
are from the destination. You're still three miles away from
the destination when you're on the ground. So I'll get
cute though and be like all right, Uber because I
don't want to wait. And then by the time then
they get mad, you get to pay because it's like
you're not gonna get out there in time.
Speaker 2 (15:47):
So I plan this, go to Zone C, Zone D.
I'm there, go down right, I said, we'll we're picking
up on the arrivals.
Speaker 1 (15:54):
Well I'm I just arrived, or we're picking up in
the departures, but I just arrived.
Speaker 5 (15:59):
Like anyway, taxi line all day at the airport because
there's like no one in it anymore because they're all
still looking for the Uber line and I don't want
to go up down. I do baggage claim exactly, we're
out of here.
Speaker 1 (16:08):
No, So the pickups on the on the drop offs,
this is this is a pro tip.
Speaker 2 (16:13):
Tell us about your driving uber on My driver where.
Speaker 1 (16:17):
He picked well apparently he you know, scratches the hell
out of his car to take to take his home.
But he was really it was a real hero move
because I think he realized that it was going to
add like probably ten minutes to the drive because we
were so out of the way. It was a real
hero move on his and he was sacrificing his own
car and he made it. He did do it. He
did it a great job. But I could have saved it.
And that was the whole point of this was do
(16:38):
you say something or I don't. Here's another one. I
don't mind when a rider suggests a different routes let
me see here, but it bugs me when they suggest
very last minute, so I would have to take a
sharp turn. My brothers Huber in New York, took a
short cut and drove on the sidewalk. I had another
(17:01):
guy from it was an Uber actually it was a
ride share and this dude, this dude, he just took
the shoulder all the way down the freeway and he said,
I know you want to get home, and I'm like,
I do.
Speaker 2 (17:13):
But it was it was completely illegal. I did.
Speaker 1 (17:16):
But I'm like, dude, we're gonna get pulled over and
you're gonna go to jail and then I'm gonna get
stuck halfway between the airport in my house. And this
was not a one I'll have you know. But but seriously,
we're just He's just like, dude, we got to get there.
I'm like, yeah, we do.
Speaker 2 (17:28):
We're just.
Speaker 1 (17:31):
Because you know how, like in the on the sides
of highways they'll put like the the rumble strips.
Speaker 5 (17:35):
In or whatever, created by someone who went to your school,
your high school. Really, yes, they made a bowtload of
money on those, Like, ah, someone made money off that.
Someone was like, what if there were strips that alert
you go off? Right? Like, why didn't I think of that?
Speaker 1 (17:52):
Apparently Google Maps gives a slightly different route from Uber GPS. Okay, yeah,
I don't know anyway, So here's so passive aggressive of
your k you do just get kidnapped in the background
you turn left, turn left, turn left.
Speaker 2 (18:08):
Shout out to this guy.
Speaker 1 (18:09):
I was just really ten minutes later, I was just wondering,
you're supposed to say something or just let you know.
Jesus take the wheel, which is what we did.
