Speaker 1 (00:03):
Hey, Jay C and Posse.

Speaker 2 (00:05):
You're talking about going to other countries and getting a
basic command of the language. I've been to a few,
and I was surprised with how often they have a
really good command of English in majority of these places. Uh,
you know, Korea, Okinawa, Japan, Louisiana surprising have good one, yea.

Speaker 1 (00:33):
I wonder where it was going.

Speaker 3 (00:38):
Yeah, it kind of lulled me to sleep, a little bit,
and he hit me with Louisiana the curve man.

Speaker 4 (00:43):
That's a that's a fun accent to try and figure out.

Speaker 3 (00:46):
You know, I gotta tell you wild because some of
the Cajun accents sound like like Boston accents.

Speaker 1 (00:52):
The guy that we used to live across.

Speaker 3 (00:54):
The street from over like Code Blacks, was from there,
and in his older age, he started talking like what
part of Boston you are?

Speaker 1 (01:00):
Where are you from?

Speaker 3 (01:00):
Because now I'm from the Legana man, But the way
it sounds is kind of weird.

Speaker 1 (01:04):
There's so many different dialects.

Speaker 4 (01:06):
I find that so fascinating.

Speaker 1 (01:07):
Oh yeah, from one side of the city of the other,

(02:13):
to the next member of the show. It is Jack's week,
and then we'll find out what we have to offer up,
either from Ross or the listeners.

Speaker 5 (02:19):
After that, Jack, Yeah, this was I've seen a couple
movies lately. Matter of fact, saw The Substance recently. Oh yeah, yeah,
we can talk about that a little later. Also went
to the theater to see Springsteen Deliver Me from Nowhere.

Speaker 4 (02:35):
I can't believe you would do that.

Speaker 1 (02:36):
What go to the movie theater?

Speaker 2 (02:38):
Now?

Speaker 4 (02:38):
Go see a Springsteen movie?

Speaker 1 (02:39):
Yeah, shocking.

Speaker 5 (02:41):
Okay, settle down, I know, I know, sit down people. However,
for many reasons, I really enjoyed this movie. I know
it's not doing well at the box office.

Speaker 3 (02:56):
Matter of fact, fell out a Can I ask you
an honest question, Yeah, if it was bad, would you
say it?

Speaker 1 (03:02):
Yeah? You would, yes, And I can defend that.

Speaker 5 (03:06):
And I do believe because it's he wasn't a controversial character, right.
This is about a depression and a low point in
his life. I think for the Springsteen fan, you are
definitely interested in his journey knowing, like for me, because
this was this period was when I was in high

(03:28):
school and it was the music I was listening to, right,
And now I see behind the scenes in the creation
of it, so it hits me stronger than it would
for the casual fan.

Speaker 1 (03:40):
It's a hard ask.

Speaker 5 (03:41):
You know, maybe if it's on HBO or something, you
know people are gonna, you know, take it in. But
I'm not that surprised.

Speaker 1 (03:49):
I was hoping it would do well, but it's not.

Speaker 3 (03:51):
But movies like this have done well for people who
weren't even into the band.

Speaker 1 (03:55):
I think the Queen movie.

Speaker 5 (03:56):
Queen is one of the biggest. It was over eight
hundred million worldwide.

Speaker 3 (04:02):
But what I'm saying is is like you cannot be
into Queen and still want to hear that story because
Freddie Mercury was such a unique character and the band
was is so unique and it was like kind of
opera rock when when you know, when everybody was into
like almost country rocket the time, and that when that
band broke.

Speaker 5 (04:16):
I see spring Seeing it is more like real radio
when it comes to their fandom. It's not for everyone,
but the people who like it love it right, they're
really into it. But it's not a broad audience. But
springs See That's the thing. What's surprising is he has
definitely an international broader audience.

Speaker 1 (04:35):
Yeah, for sure, he's a global act.

Speaker 5 (04:37):
But even the box office overseas is not doing well regardless.
This is how we got here. Couldn't have signed a
movie in the movie theater. I wouldn't even do that
to yet.

Speaker 1 (04:48):
But look, the little video is fifteen minutes.

Speaker 3 (04:49):
It's basically an interview with Jeremy Allen watat White, and
Bruce is sitting right next to him, yes, and they're
talking about the project, how it came to be, how
Bruce viewed Jeremy Allen White's performance, what Jeremy alle and
White said to Bruce about how he kind of tried
to create the character or create the vibe so it
would seem as realistic as possible. They talk about him
learning how to sing and stuff like that. That wasn't

(05:10):
even close to the most interesting thing, not even close.
He actually said something that kind of blew me.

Speaker 4 (05:17):
Away, which one Jeremy or Bruce Bruce.

Speaker 3 (05:19):
Springsteen He goes, He goes, Man, I want to be
Bruce Springsteen. He goes, But I'm only that guy three
hours a day, only on stage. When I'm off the stage,
I'm in an anxiety ridden you know, guy who worries
about a lot of stuff, who doesn't really live that lifestyle,
not really into that whole thing. It was really I've
never heard a legitimate rock icon which he is, say

(05:43):
that say that, like, wow, you know, would people want
to say they want to be Bruce Springsteen. I get
it because I do as well. But what you're seeing
on stage is an act. I am not that person.
I thought that was pretty darn revealing. Now, not to mention,
I had no idea this guy dealt with like debilitating
depression for a lot.

Speaker 1 (05:59):
Of his life.

Speaker 5 (05:59):
I clue he has several books written about him. He
wrote a memoir which I read, Yeah, and he talked
about He mentioned like he touched on it, but not
to the point of how severe it was, and that
he needed to seek therapy because even at the time,
and I believe it. I've saw so many interviews, I
don't know if the one I asked you guys to

(06:20):
watch is where he mentioned it. But it was still
taboo in nineteen eighty one. You didn't go around saying, oh,
I'm going to see a psychiatrist, you know, to talk
about my problems.

Speaker 1 (06:31):
Yeah. Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 4 (06:32):
That to me was the most fascinating part because when
you grow up with his music, whether you're a fan
or not, you always think you know the person behind
the music or the person behind the movie. And to
find out that how many members of his family dealt
with debilitating mental health issues.

Speaker 1 (06:48):
Like six or seventy just hand well, I.

Speaker 4 (06:52):
Mean his own father. I mean to find out his
father was alcohol polar, which was probably self treating his
bipolar disorder. I had no idea that Springsteen's parents left
when he was what eighteen and moved to California, and
that was literally that was his relationship with his father.
Apparently they never I don't know if they ever reconnected again.

Speaker 1 (07:13):
They do, and that plays out in the movie.

Speaker 3 (07:15):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (07:16):
So, and for the gentleman Jeremy Alan White, Okay, the
guy who is the lead chef character and the bear.
When I saw him on an interview with one of
the morning talk shows mentioning how he did not know
how to play guitar, how he did not know how
to sing or play harmonica or play harmonica, and by
that point they had already played a clip from the movie,

(07:36):
and I literally thought, oh, your lip syncing, Yeah, you're
just singing along. And to find out no, he literally
was offered the part when they knew he didn't have
the skills to play Springsteen. But like Springsteen said in
this interview he had that X factor, that gennes sequah
that the camera can pick up on. I was blown

(07:57):
away at his performance.

Speaker 5 (07:59):
And there was a point where it's Jeremy Allen White
singing in the movie and I'm like, wait, I tekeond
guess it's like wait a second.

Speaker 4 (08:05):
Even Bruce's own manager, his manager said, you know, was
that you? And I have to say, no, it wasn't.

Speaker 3 (08:12):
What is the most famous portrayal of a musician from
an actor? I've heard that it's.

Speaker 1 (08:20):
Ray that Yeah, that one one, Oscar.

Speaker 5 (08:25):
Was great?

Speaker 1 (08:26):
Was the best ever? Walquin Phoenix?

Speaker 5 (08:28):
Is Johnny Cash, Gary Busey, Buddy Buddy Holly?

Speaker 1 (08:32):
No, no, Gary Busey, was Jerry Lee Lewis? Or no?
Was it was Buddy Holly?

Speaker 2 (08:37):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (08:37):
Yeah, yeah. The Ray one was that was so good.

Speaker 4 (08:41):
And I remember the story of Will Smith saying to
h and I just blanked on the actor who played
Ray himself, Jimmie Fox. Jamie Fox. Yeah, where Will Smith said,
you know, he was out partying and he called him
up and he said, no, no, no, no, no no no.
You need to give this man the respect that his due.
So you need to mit all in to playing Ray

(09:02):
Charles the way that Ray deserves to be played on screen,
and he deserved every one of the oscars. That was
a phenomenal movie. Yeah, but I enjoyed this one. And really,
if even if you're not a Springsteen fan, to see
a television star, I mean, that's quite a comfort zone
to leave and learn how to sing, play guitar, play harmonica,
and then try to emulate without without copying, yeah, you know,

(09:24):
not turning it into a caricature. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (09:26):
The the thing is they have way different voices. Bruce's
voice is really nasally and kind of high, and Jeremy
Allen White's voice is like he's like Buffalo Bill. Yeah,
he's got this weird, kind of very resonant, chesty kind
of voice.

Speaker 1 (09:38):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (09:39):
So Timothy chalameay was Bob Dylan last year, Val Kelmer,
Jim Morrison, oh god, that's so good. To Angela Bassett
his Tina turn, Oh my.

Speaker 1 (09:47):
God, dude.

Speaker 3 (09:48):
We could go on and on with that. What was
the one who played Elvis? Was it Kurt Russell? He
did one, Yeah, Elvis was and then the other guy,
Austin what's his face?

Speaker 1 (09:57):
Yeah, just played him Austin Powers.

Speaker 3 (09:59):
Yeah, yeah, and who is the guy who played Freddie Mercury,
the rainy mallet guy or whatever he won the OSK.

Speaker 1 (10:07):
Yeah, dude, that's great.

Speaker 5 (10:08):
Yeah that I think that's the most successful band bio pick.

Speaker 1 (10:13):
Oh the Green One, the Queen one.

Speaker 4 (10:15):
Wow.

Speaker 1 (10:15):
Yeah, yeah a good pick though.

Speaker 3 (10:17):
Way, I thought this was a great, perfect time, only
fifteen minutes, but I think the interview that you chose
really gave a really cool insight in what the movie
was about. It didn't get into the weeds of or stuff,
and it gave you just enough info to want to
go maybe learn a little bit more.

Speaker 5 (10:31):
So one I'll leave you with this. You know who
played his father in the movie. I don't know if
you've seen any clips. It's the guy who was in
Adolescent Stephen Graham.

Speaker 3 (10:40):
Yeah, the guy who's in All the Old Guy Ritchie
Movies writer, the British actor.

Speaker 1 (10:43):
Yeah really he was great. He was great.

Speaker 3 (10:45):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (10:46):
Yeah. And the kid Snatch I think.

Speaker 5 (10:48):
Yeah, the kids Springsteene who played him as a little
kid haunting. It was like really yeah, because he's supposed
to be, you know, a kid experiencing trauma and you
believe it.

Speaker 1 (10:56):
Oh yeah really yeah, very good?
