Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:01):
Wake dinner. I feel so damn good. I got a phoner.
I'm released a new episode today. Listen to it with
my bhoner oer.

Speaker 2 (00:17):
All right, everybody, welcome into another edition of The On
the Go Show with Jacob and James. I am Jacob,
and sitting across from me through the airwaves is my
wonderful cost James jumping Jack Jackson. What's going on, James?
What's what's been happening in the world of mister James Jackson?

Speaker 1 (00:37):
Uh? Nothing, nothing much, man. So I had he's going
to hang out with someone's last week and she works
at a medical medical supply store. So she get off
at five o'clock and we were going to meet up,
and so I thought, I was like, okay, cool, she's
living like a Myreland. So I didn't know there was
a Randall's over there because I needed a couple of things.

(00:57):
So we went to Randalls. I went to Randalls by
you still at work, and I didn't realize how old
that place looks. And it smells old too. It was
smell old and like it's not really big, it's still
got that that the building is. The whole building structure
is all brick, it's all a brick layout, so it's
just it's still got that old school brick layout. And
I did not know how bad Randals is. The prices

(01:20):
are just super super normal expensive, and I just I
hated it. I hated it. I I was gonna buy
some cookies. I didn't even buy it out of there.
It was just the cookies look stale. The prices were
enormously crazy, so I just bought some. I think I
just bought some chips. Just got the hell out of it.
I was like, you know, anything I need, I just
go back on my side of town.

Speaker 2 (01:41):
Thank Randall's. I'm trying to remember where the Randalls at
is in my line because I frequented that area quite
a bit in my days in Houston, So I'm trying
to remember exactly where it's at, Like is it next
to any other kind of story, Like.

Speaker 1 (01:54):
No, no, no, no, it's just in a shopping center
kind of you know. It's I got wings more one.
I'm sorry, yeah, but yeah, wings are more Buffalo wild
wings what everyone call it. And then across the way
it's got a McDonald's and stuff, so it's like it's
it's like Buffalo closest Buffalo speak way when you're going
down there. But uh yeah, Marreland, Yeah, it's just man.

(02:15):
I definitely see why Randalls is told now. I definitely
see why Randalls my business because this is that's not
I ain't do it.

Speaker 2 (02:21):
Yeah, Randalls and Kroger Man they're.

Speaker 1 (02:23):
They're I like Crogus, cro Croz. Yeah, I like Crocus.
And when it comes to big goods, the big Goods
is the best. They're big goods, just a A one supreme.

Speaker 2 (02:34):
I think I prefer Kroger over Randall's. But the thing
is like the prices in both of them are just
super high. Croger's is high as well.

Speaker 1 (02:40):
Crokers is a little bit more manageable. I can. I
can kind of go in there and kind of get
something out of there. That's a little bit more managerle Randalls.
I couldn't get out right coming out of them. I
couldn't come out of there with nothing. I could barely
come out of that with nothing. And if I did
come out of there with something, I was gonna feel
bad about it later because the price of them just
so crazy. I could have just waited to get on
my side of town and bought Walmart.

Speaker 2 (02:59):
That's a shame.

Speaker 1 (03:00):
So yeah, I told her because she was like, oh, well,
what did you buy? Ramballs? I got this bagg of
CHIPS's yeah, I mean the place was expensive. I don't
know what you want? We tell you? Yeah, right, Like
it was nothing to get out of it. So afterday
we just went out to eat and hang out for
a little bit. Dang, that's pretty much it, man, that's

(03:21):
pretty much.

Speaker 2 (03:22):
It sounds like a sounds like a nice day. I
angered the radio gods this morning.

Speaker 1 (03:26):
Oh yeah, what you do.

Speaker 2 (03:28):
It's funny because people in radio, they tend to be
creatures of habit, right, Like you just you get in
the groove and you kind of stick to it, and
it seems like whenever you try to change something up,
things mess up. So this morning I decided not to
make a coffee before I went to work. Instead, I
decided to drink a Celsius because I've gotten into Celsius lately,
so now I'm just stocked up on Celsius drinks. But

(03:50):
I took a Celsius with me this morning, and all
my way to work, I realized I left my headphones
at home. I'm like, no big deal, I can just
listen to the in studio monitors. It's not the end
of the world. So but I get in. I get
into the studio, all right, walk into iHeart and I'm
hearing the radio feed through the speaker because the station

(04:12):
plays throughout the building. And I walk into my studio nothing,
There's no no sound or anything coming out to speakers.
So I immediately have to like hal tech support and
figure out what's going on. And I didn't have headphones.
That tests the headphone box, so I had to call
one of the other guys who work at the station
who's asleep. I had to wake them up and be like, hey,

(04:33):
do you have extra headphones I can borrow, got the
extra headphones, plugged them in. The headphones worked just fine,
But it's just walking into the studio, like the speaker's
not working it. You know, you never want to walk
into a radio station and not hear anything.

Speaker 1 (04:47):
Yeah, this sucks. I can only amaze you.

Speaker 2 (04:50):
Yeah. But luckily I was like, well, I hear the
station feed, we're not we're not having dead air alarms.
We're fine. But in the back of my head, I
was like, it's just it's because I does damn cells
he used to work. I didn't make a coffee up
set the radio.

Speaker 1 (05:03):
Gods, but don't you have like two air phones. You
could just let one in the car.

Speaker 2 (05:07):
Yeah, you know, you would think I would do that,
but I did not.

Speaker 1 (05:10):
Want in a car and then lead one in the
house wanting the apartment. Said the way, you don't have
to if that ever happens again, you always got a
spare Yeah.

Speaker 2 (05:17):
I'm gonna have to start doing that. Yeah, or just
bring us bring a spare pair into the studio and
like stash them away somewhere because we have a little
we have a little filing cabinet. It's not that big
a deal. But I was just like, tank it, try
to do something different.

Speaker 1 (05:31):
Yeah, that's what happen when you're trying to mess up
the routine. What you do, either you're gonna be late
to work or you're gonna be just going to end
up forgetting something. I usually wake up around by eight
o'clock and here ready, take a shower and whatnot. And
it's it's not really like a routine, but I have
a certain thing that I do there. I guess it

(05:52):
is routine that I have a certain thing that I
do while go to the store and I eat blueberry
muffin and eat a banana before I go to work.
And this is just one time I didn't have it,
and it's like it was just a bad little day.
It was just bad stuff just happened.

Speaker 2 (06:05):
Your whole day.

Speaker 1 (06:06):
Yep, your whole day.

Speaker 2 (06:08):
It's weird how that works.

Speaker 1 (06:09):
Yeah. I really don't believe in superstition and stuff like that,
but at that time and didn't. Yeah. It kind of
weird as ugly head.

Speaker 2 (06:15):
Yeah, and it's never a good feeling, no, because I.

Speaker 1 (06:20):
Probably never tell this to anybody else because I know
this one person. She's like, I don't want to say voodoo,
but I will say she believes in that kind of stuff,
higher power and all that type of stuff, and then
the spiritual the star sign, Yeah, which is fine. I mean,
if you've got to have something to believe in to
help you, to help you make it through today, I

(06:41):
totally get it. Yeah. But if I told her that,
she's just been like, see you, let me draw your
card and sign. It's like, I don't want to do that.
I don't really really want to do that.

Speaker 2 (06:52):
I don't need I don't need that.

Speaker 1 (06:54):
No, I don't. I can't tell you the last time
I had I had that my palm read and all
that stuff. I remember when we went to that escape
role and when she gave us that car and she
was trying to read everybody's uh oh yeah, read everybody's
hand and stuff like that, and it was cool. Well,
I'm it was a reason why I didn't want to
do that, because I, you know, I don't believe in

(07:17):
all that stuff. You have this stuff read and know
how things are going to play out in your life.
You know, I don't believe in that type of stuff.

Speaker 2 (07:25):
No, that makes sense. You don't want to mess with
the other side too much, is what you're saying.

Speaker 1 (07:28):
Yeah, I don't. I don't believe in doing that. I
believe she just kind of chill and just whatever, take
it day by day and keep it a surprise.

Speaker 2 (07:37):
Yeah, don't piss off the spirits.

Speaker 1 (07:39):
Yeah, and all that kind of colds and sides, but
also just keeping your daily routine and stuff like that.
Also as well. I don't believe in that type of stuff.
You know, I entertain it, but I don't tell them
that I don't believe. But then they going to give
me a whole lecture. It's almost like going to church
and then telling them that you all showed up East,
which I'm not going to churches Eastern too. Oh so

(08:02):
are you going to churches Eastern? No Oka.

Speaker 2 (08:05):
I think we're going to do like an Easter brunch
or something, well, okay with the family or something just
ourselves up here.

Speaker 1 (08:11):
Well, okay, is is her family going to is Gynesius
family going to going to church? Do they do?

Speaker 2 (08:16):
They go to church a lot, you know, they do
go to church, so they probably won't go to church
for Easter.

Speaker 1 (08:19):
Yeah. I usually don't, really, I mean I usually do.
I used to go to church a lot back in
the day, but then as I got older, I stopped
going to church. And it seemed kind of hard, you know,
it seemed kind of messed up to say out loud.
But I feel like I shouldn't have to go to
church just on Eastern. Why I show up on Easter
when I probablyould show up every day? You know, this
is the one time of the year where everyone, besides

(08:40):
they want to go to church at Christmas time, I
throw him Mother's Day and Easter all the three times
that people decide they want to go to church. And
it's really annoying.

Speaker 2 (08:49):
You think those are the heavier heaviest church.

Speaker 1 (08:50):
I think I'm telling you that those those the biggest,
heaviest days because you know, it's Christmas, Christmas Day and
usually Eastern you know, Resurrection. Those are the business, the
busiest times at the church, and also the busiest times
of the barbershop too as well. Because I knew that
the church, I mean, I knew that the people would
get their hair cut on Saturday, so I wanted I
wanted to move for waiting, waiting in the line and

(09:13):
stuff like that on my off day, you know. And
then plus two, I wanted to get ready for rust Mania.
That's that's on Saturday and Sunday. And I want to
see Sinaters that morning. So I want to get all
that out the way. I see. So that's gonna be
kind of a little crazy, crazy weekend for you.

Speaker 2 (09:27):
Yeah, WrestleMania.

Speaker 1 (09:28):
Yeah, Russeman is this weekend, Saturday and Sunday. It's never
been this late. I'm surprised that I'm surprised this is.
You know, they're doing Rustan is late. He's usually right
around about March or early April, but now they're doing
it April nineteen, and you know, and then they changed
it two days now.

Speaker 2 (09:45):
What are you what are you looking for to most
for this WrestleMania. Doesn't John Tena doing some stuff? This
is is last year.

Speaker 1 (09:52):
Yeah, he's doing the Hill thing now and it really
hasn't really built in any story to it. You know,
he's had these couple of days periodically done. But I
wish you know, it's not I gotta say this, it's
not as entertaining. The promos hasn't been as entertainer as
they were last year. When you have the Rock and
you had Cody Roles trying to finish the story, it

(10:14):
was a lot more entertainment build It felt like an
Infinity War end game level thing that was going on.
This time, I don't really feel it, like I don't
feel any of it for any of the matches, to
be honest with you, hopefully, you know, the wrestling matches
are actually good themselves, so that way you can kind
of prove everybody wrong because everyone's down on it. You know,
everyone's down on these matches right now because they look

(10:36):
like there's one of the Mile matches because they just
kind of like threw together, you know, and even the
John Cena Hills hent it was great when we saw it.
There a little bit chamber, but now it's just all right,
what you're gonna do with it? You know. And he
showed up periodically, but he hasn't showed up as often
as you would like, you know, to really build up
this tension. And then this few that he's going to

(10:56):
have with this wrestler, Cody Rose, so that that's kind of,
you know, been a little bit annoying.

Speaker 2 (11:02):
Do you think them being connected to Netflix has anything
to do with that, Like the the lack of promo,
you know, I.

Speaker 1 (11:10):
Mean Johnson he had like some movie to do in Africa,
so I think that was some of it. So he
he you know, everyone knew his time was gonna be
somewhat limited, and they kind of we're on a European tour,
and he showed up like on the first three episodes
of the European tour they were on and they were good.
Be got some pretty scathing promos and everybody felt it

(11:32):
them Okay, this is cinema, this is this is what
cinema looks like. And then after that it just started
to die down and he hasn't showed up since but
in two weeks, so it's like, okay, we were looking
forward to he's supposed show for Friday, So we'll see hopefully,
you know, the go home show from before Rustmania be
a little bit more entertainment, a little bit more entertaining,

(11:54):
because I.

Speaker 2 (11:54):
Mean it's both for them to start that storyline. His
last year anyway, this is the last time supposedly.

Speaker 1 (12:00):
Yes, I mean, well, I think it was supposed to
be the Rock eventually, that was supposed to be, you know,
the next in line because he was, you know, last
year he had he had a big match last year
with his cousin and it taxed him with his cousin
and stuff, and it was really really fun there changed
that whole storyline on on the fly, so that's what
made the storyline even more fun. But this year, you know,
Rock has been n i A. He showed up at

(12:22):
one time Elimination Chamber and boom that was it. We
haven't seen him again, so, you know, hopefully, And I
don't know that the Travis Scott over at all. I
don't know what what the heck that was about. That
was weird play too. He came out to the ring
with him and stuff, and he has stage with him
and all that. It was so weird. It was that
whole that whole segment just weird. Even though it was
cool to see Johnson turn Hill, Travis Scott was not

(12:43):
needed to be out there at all, right, not even
a little bit.

Speaker 2 (12:46):
Doesn't he still have a bad image from that whole
festival he did in Houston.

Speaker 1 (12:51):
No, that's that's that's kind of somewhat went away. That's
all that been that down.

Speaker 2 (12:56):
He's on the he's on the ascension now, he's he's
going back up.

Speaker 1 (13:00):
Yeah, he's been back up. He's been back up. Everything's
fine with him now. But yeah, so hopefully resume is
a whole lot more fun than you know, got NBA
playoffs this weekend. That'll be interesting. So it's is just
little things here and there, little things here and there. Sorry,
it's ourry Eastern.

Speaker 2 (13:18):
Sorry Jesus, there's more important things.

Speaker 1 (13:20):
But you know what, it's not. It's not even about him.
But it's not even about the big guy. Because I
didn't easily read a Bible and read a verse, which
I do. I read different verses in the morning on Sunday.
I don't neither anyone's church house. It's like that, you know,
because that's just what I believe. I believe you don't
have to go to church house to receive the work. So,

(13:42):
you know, some people just think you just have to
go to church to receive the word, which I get.
You know, you want to be around different like minded people.
But some would say like minded people don't live in
the church house.

Speaker 2 (13:54):
Yeah that's true. It also depends on which church you
go to.

Speaker 1 (13:58):
Yes, he does.

Speaker 2 (13:59):
There's different there's different like minded people in different churches.

Speaker 1 (14:02):
Exactly, and some of those some people you don't want
to be around.

Speaker 2 (14:06):
Yeah, yeah, for sure.

Speaker 1 (14:07):
Yeah. I don't believe you have to go to church
to receive the word.

Speaker 2 (14:10):
I don't think you should. I think that's the whole
point in the Bible, right, It's like you should be
you can just go to church at home. Your home
is your church, your home is your worship and all
that great stuff.

Speaker 1 (14:20):
Like I know a friend I work with, he hasn't
been to church in a while because he does it virtually,
so he's been doing it. He had lunch with his
friend and he had lunch with the pastor and he's like, hey,
you know, we'd really like you to come back to
church on Eastern Everyone has been waiting to see you.
And he has been there in five years. This was
during COVID, because you know when COVID hit, everyone just

(14:43):
started going virtual. Yeah. I want to say the second
time around is when everyone started to start doing the
whole zoom zoom calls and stuff. So in church has
really done a lot of it, obviously, so because you know,
you're close to people. So he was telling me yesterday
he just does not want to go. He's gotten too
comfortable with you know, we're doing church at home. And

(15:06):
he also tells me it's a long ride. So I
was like, oh, yeah, I definitely understand that from where
he's at. It's all way over there. You know, once
you get comfortable with something, you really don't want to
dda from that.

Speaker 2 (15:18):
Right, especially on the stream and stuff, like hey, if
you're gonna keep streaming church, I'm just not gonna come.

Speaker 1 (15:22):
Yeah, I'm not gonna come. Like, well, why would I come?
Why would I take this long ride to go to
church where I can just zoom it. I can just
stream a lot. And so he really doesn't want to go.
I kind of urged him to go. I say, hey,
you know, just show up. You can just show up
this one time, show face, say hi to everybody, and
that's it. You ain't gonna go back no more. And
you go back and just just just keep going back

(15:43):
to the the usual with the way you do things,
or you.

Speaker 2 (15:45):
Go like once a year or something, I don't know,
just make it make the track.

Speaker 1 (15:48):
Because he usually has like lunch with the pastor all
the time, so that's how he usually does that. So
I thought that, Yeah, which I think I just said.
I don't think it's weird that you have lunch with
your pastor.

Speaker 2 (15:58):
No, I mean, you know, it's it's some times good
to have a good relationship to the to the pastor.

Speaker 1 (16:02):
Well yeah, yeah, I mean, especially if getting married.

Speaker 2 (16:06):
What would be incredible is if his pastor is Joel Stein,
because then I would be like, how are you even
having lunch with that man?

Speaker 1 (16:11):
Yeah? Like where do you go to eat lunch at?
I know he likes to go to Taco Bell for lunch?

Speaker 2 (16:17):
Does he really?

Speaker 1 (16:18):
Was like, so you have lunch but the guy. That
would be funny.

Speaker 2 (16:25):
You had some insight information that.

Speaker 1 (16:27):
Would be funny to see Joel seeing that Taco Bell
getting the case deal againt the what's you call it
a burrito or something that crunch that will be dope.
He's saying it all nice and nice through the radio,
the little speaker.

Speaker 2 (16:42):
He has a he has a fake mustache on, so
they don't got a.

Speaker 1 (16:44):
Fake mustache on and some shade. Yeah, he already got
that horrible mullet. Look, I know what horrible mother. It's
not a horrible mother. It's it's a cool mullet. But
it's you know that he's been working there motherey for
a long time. Yeah, him and his brother has to
say mullet. I'm about to take that. I toltally apologize last.

(17:07):
It's like you almost talk about the people in the house.

Speaker 2 (17:09):
Speaking of speaking of Joel Ostin, have you seen the
show called Righteous Gemstones?

Speaker 1 (17:14):
I heard of as just never saw it.

Speaker 2 (17:16):
Oh, it's it's very good. It's in its final season. Uh,
Danny McBride, John Goodman, they're attached to it. It's basically
a giant parody of like a mega church family. So
like you're Joel Ostein or your Ed Young or you know,
it's a little raunch. It's on HBO, so of course,
like it's a little bit of ron cher.

Speaker 1 (17:33):
It's a show.

Speaker 2 (17:35):
It's four seasons. Oh okay, yeah, this is the final season,
so like they're they're gonna end it. It's going to
have an end to it. It's not getting canceled or anything.
It's just like, hey, four seasons and we're good. We
don't need to continue this any longer than we need to.

Speaker 1 (17:48):
That's fair even to bear doing it. Bear's final season
coming up pretty soon. It's coming up coming up this summer.

Speaker 2 (17:53):
Which is good because it's like, you can only do
so much story.

Speaker 1 (17:58):
Yeah, you're gonna do so much story with the like, okay,
we open up the restaurant, I get the restaurant from
my brother that passed away. I'm trying to do something
different with it. Meanwhile, going through my own personal life. Yeah,
we've had the other season where they went through everyone's
life and pretty much still which was I really did.
I think it was a third or second season started

(18:20):
kind of doing character showcasing all the different characters and
then life traits. So you've done that already, so the
fourth season has to be I think I think it
was gonna happen. I think some I think the restaurants
will close down.

Speaker 2 (18:32):
You know, I was thinking the same thing. It's either
gonna end up closing or he's gonna lose it to
Ao at a various character That's what I think, or
she's gonna end up leaving. But I don't think it's
gonna have like a super happy ending I wanted.

Speaker 1 (18:46):
To write, but yeah, you're right, I don't think it's
gonna have a happy ending.

Speaker 2 (18:50):
Just the whole vibe of the show in general, it
just doesn't seem like it's I mean, it might not
be a sad ending either, but I don't see it
having like everyone's happy at the end of the series.
It's going to be very middle of the road, very emotional,
like the whole show has been, which, like.

Speaker 1 (19:06):
I said, I think is I like that it's had
I only had with ten episodes, and I love that
it's on four seasons. I love that four season. I
think every shows in on four seasons.

Speaker 2 (19:16):
Yeah, you know, four to five.

Speaker 1 (19:18):
My my role was five.

Speaker 2 (19:20):
I think after five seasons is when you start really
losing like the plot and you start having to make
up more exciting things or you have to do the
jump to shark moments.

Speaker 1 (19:30):
See I say, I say about six seasons at least
I say about six seven seasons was when you kind
of okay, what we planning on doing.

Speaker 2 (19:39):
That's when you start running out.

Speaker 1 (19:41):
Yeah, that's when you start running out. Like the Big
Bang Theory, Big Bank Theory was on.

Speaker 2 (19:46):
What ten seasons something like that, some outrageous number for Fraser.

Speaker 1 (19:51):
Fraser was on and I'm watching Fraser now. I'm still
on season three. And you know, I watched Fraser back
in the day when I was a kid, because I
really I don't know what was really really he liked
that show. But Fraser had like them there eleven or twelve,
twelve seasons.

Speaker 2 (20:05):
And they have a reboot series and they have reboot series.

Speaker 1 (20:08):
And that show started. Fraser started in nineteen ninety three
and it went off like a two thousand and four Dang.
I was like, God, damn man, you know how many seasons?
How many stories can you possibly tell within twelve seasons?

Speaker 2 (20:22):
I don't know, especially like Fraser is like centered around radio, right,
He's like a radio psychologist or something.

Speaker 1 (20:27):
YEP.

Speaker 2 (20:28):
I guess it depends on where they're getting their story
is from, right, And like, if you're getting from real
life like experiences from radio hosts, you probably do have
a pleth rail of material. But twelve seasons is a
lot twelve seasons is extreme.

Speaker 1 (20:40):
It was just an extreme. It's an extreme amount of
number of seasons, man. And I it was a smart
show because it was a spinoff of Cheers. You know Fraser,
you know, he party, well then party, but he went
to the bar down there in Boston, you know, and
then he moved back to Seattle with his father, and
his father lived with him after being shot because he

(21:01):
had to retire, so he had to you know, he
had somebody lived with him and stuff like that, and
he got his brother that's with him also too as well.
Now and it's like, I don't know how many cees.
I just can't believe I watched that show that long
with twelose seasons and Cosme show didn't even stay on
that loan, right, Cosme showed I think Cosby stayed on

(21:22):
like seven seasons, if you can believe that. And that
was Bill Cosby. I'm like, goodness, gracious man.

Speaker 2 (21:28):
Well, big Bill Colligby was a big name back then
before all the the awful things came out.

Speaker 1 (21:32):
Well, he had so many stuff though, He had so
much stuff that he can just go to So if
you if you wanted to do, if you wanted to
keep doing the Cosby Show. He could have kept doing it.
He stopped as show. Then he had yeah, yeah fat,
well you know fat before all that, you know, yeah
that was for all that came out like in the seventies,
so you had ye had that. Then he asked what
he did movies with Sydney Poitier Sidney Portier, which is

(21:54):
some of the best black exportation movies in the history
of time in my opinion. He had throw and then
he had you know, and then he had like the
Cosby Mysteries. Then he came back and then he did
a show on CBS with or Felice Rashad. It was
just Cosby and he wasn't rich or anything like that.
He was more he was a retired guy that worked
at the at the airport. He was a regular, regular dude.

(22:18):
He didn't only have one kid, he didn't have like
three or four kids. And Felice Rashad, her character worked
at a florist at a florist store, you know, with
her with her best friends. I liked that show personally
more than I liked the other Cosmic show. The Other
Cosmic Show was funny, but I thought it was also
a little cheesy.

Speaker 2 (22:34):
I didn't realize he did two Cosby shows.

Speaker 1 (22:36):
Yeah, yeah, he had one on the Courses, one on NBC,
and then he had when once he loved NBC, he
kind of took a break from TV, well, not really
took a break because he had Cosmic Mysteries, and then
he went to uh, he did his own thing on
CBS and that only lasted for like four seasons. That
show on the last of four seasons. Dangn well, and
it was only needed for four seasons. You know, that

(22:58):
was like twenty five episodes each and then he sees
that's a lot. Yeah, twenty five episodes in each season,
so that helped out. So yeah, there's a lot of
shows out there that you know, but Fresh Prince, I
think Fresh Prince was only on for like six seasons,
six five seasons, and.

Speaker 2 (23:13):
That also got a reboot.

Speaker 1 (23:14):
Yeah, but that's like more of a serious one, that's true.

Speaker 2 (23:17):
I tried watching it. I don't know, did you ever
take a look at it?

Speaker 1 (23:19):
I think I think I like the first two episodes.
It's not really my cup of tea. It was it
was very like c W fied and they got a
final season coming up too, do there.

Speaker 2 (23:28):
I didn't even know what's still going.

Speaker 1 (23:29):
Yeah, they got they got a final season coming up.

Speaker 2 (23:31):
Yeah, it looks like the first Prince of bel Air
was six seasons.

Speaker 1 (23:33):
Yeah, six seasons. Like they don't even gonna get started.
Because Black comedies then really didn't last that long. You know,
had that show lasted for six seasons. Martin, that show
lasted for six seasons, and a lot of that was
due because you know, Martin Lawrence had a drug problem
and you know it was showing up Lake to work
and have problems with the teacher Campbell his his co host,

(23:57):
co partner. Oh wow, So yeah, that's the reason why
that show didn't last too long.

Speaker 2 (24:01):
So Alisha Malsha looks like it was about five or
six seasons.

Speaker 1 (24:04):
Yeah, Mosha was another show us and that show ended horribly.
I hate shows at shows that end with a cliffhanger.
I just hated. And there was some reason all our
Black TV shows ended with a cliffhanger and we never
got chance to have a definitive feed that My Wife
and Kids had a cliffhanger.

Speaker 2 (24:22):
I remember watching My Wife and Kids. I used to
watch that one a lot.

Speaker 1 (24:25):
Yep, My Wife and Kids, It's come on EBC. That
show ended poorly.

Speaker 2 (24:29):
I didn't realize they had a cliffhanger.

Speaker 1 (24:31):
Yeah, they had a cliffhanker. She got pregnant again, his
wife got praid. Tice Campbell's got she got pregnaned again,
and then over the overla her little brother, he gets
her little brother gets kidnapped. All right, what the hell
did we come from? What did this come from? That's
one thing I will say. I'm glad a lot of
a lot of these shows now are ending with definitive

(24:52):
ending now most of them mark unless you watch Netflix,
because letting Netflix shows on end with don't go end
well at all.

Speaker 2 (24:59):
They really don't. And you would think writers would learn
at some point to just every season write it as
if it's not gonna get renewed.

Speaker 1 (25:07):
You know, there's so many shows on Netflix, like so
many dramas that I've been following, and half.

Speaker 2 (25:12):
Of them done just get canceled.

Speaker 1 (25:13):
They get canceled. There's so much there's so much material
on Netflix, like vampire shows and horror shows, alien sci
fi shows, and.

Speaker 2 (25:20):
They're not bad. There are a lot of the more
pretty decent, like content wise.

Speaker 1 (25:23):
It's decent. They just don't have a definitive ended.

Speaker 2 (25:26):
Yeah, it's just either not enough people looked at them,
or they needed to, you know, add the money to
the to their budget for the next million Bobby Brown movie,
because Millie Bobby Brown just seems like a Netflix superstar
actress Neflis.

Speaker 1 (25:39):
Got so much money. They can do whatever they want,
you know, they got so much money. They can they
can make trash movies for days.

Speaker 2 (25:46):
They can make I would argue they have too much money.
It's it's detrimental to their to their productivity.

Speaker 1 (25:54):
Yeah. Them, man, Apple got oohu money, so they just
put out whatever they want in the studio.

Speaker 2 (26:00):
So I've heard good things about it.

Speaker 1 (26:02):
Yeah, I've heard great things about it. And no one
talks about it, but people talk. Yeah, I've heard a
couple of people talk about it here and there. It's
one of the best kept shows, one of the best
kept secret shows. I really really want to watch that show.

Speaker 2 (26:13):
I just think in general, I don't think a lot
of people have Apple TV.

Speaker 1 (26:16):
They don't unless you got an Apple phone.

Speaker 2 (26:18):
Yeah, unless you unless you're already like iPhone Apple family.
But then even then, to a certain extent, it's like
you you probably still want to watch Apple. Apple TV
is not like a household streaming service. I mean some
of the stuff they put on there, it seems like
they would almost should be because I think Severance is
on there. Yep, it is, Yeah, and Severance is apparently
a big deal.

Speaker 1 (26:38):
It is. I definitely want to start watching Studio because
I've heard it's a lot of it's a lot of
inside baseball. But I still want to watch it because
they they're taking jabs everywhere. They taking jabs at everybody,
even at their own selves. And that's why I like
they taking their own selves. Ye, you know, with these
movies that they make and how they're filmed and the

(26:59):
budget that rage his budgets. I really really want to
watch the show. I want to wait. I'm gonna binge
watch it when all the episodes are done. I don't
know how many episodes there are, but I'm assuming it's
like eight eight episodes.

Speaker 2 (27:11):
So far, it has five episodes that might be the
whole season though. Really yeah, so they have five episodes
out now. They have ten planned for season one. Oh okay, cool, cool, Well,
so episode ten will come out May twenty first.

Speaker 1 (27:29):
Oh okay, all right.

Speaker 2 (27:30):
Runtime is between twenty five and forty four minutes. Okay,
that's not even a bad run time.

Speaker 1 (27:34):
Yeah, that's standards standard.

Speaker 2 (27:36):
Especially for streaming, because like streaming you can you can
kind of go on for however long you want. True,
So a good tight twenty five to forty four is good.

Speaker 1 (27:45):
Yeah, it's it's so standard. Yeah, you're right. Apple got
so much material on there that no one ever watches.
So like kind of like the movie Brad, the movie
Brad Pitt and George Coloney, that move. That movie is
terribly Oh yeah, that movie. Yeah, terribly that. They were like,
you know what, because at first it was supposed to
be in the theaters and they decided, I guess Apple
was like, that's is that I just not know. We're

(28:07):
not gonna make it back this. Yeah, we're not gonna
make any money off this. Is this a fine movie
to have in the background if you want to get
a couple of labs in the background and you can't
it up. It's fine to have to have Home, But
it's really not a good movie.

Speaker 2 (28:19):
I kind of feel like ninety films are that, you know,
like a bunch of them are really just good background
films or like you're good to watch once, but if
you try to watch it again, especially.

Speaker 1 (28:30):
Apple TV, like The Gorge hated that movie once again
too high profile names. You know, I ain't tell of
Joy and then.

Speaker 2 (28:38):
Moms telling Miles Teller like the names on there.

Speaker 1 (28:41):
This is high profile names, but the movies just don't.
It's just it has all the potential. Yeah, well it
can never stick to landed.

Speaker 2 (28:47):
Well, it kind of makes it difficult, right because because
then the question is do we spend the money on
the production value or do we spend enough money on
the names?

Speaker 1 (28:56):
Well then when now, when I you talking about Netflix,
then because deflix does they do both? They have done movies.
I like, I just got through saying they got plenty
of material, plenty of Netflix original movies that are either
dubbed are either people that you don't know and they're
actually quite good, right, They're actually quite good. That's so

(29:18):
much that they got a lot of movies out there
like that. But Apple got all the budget, but they
don't have the quality. It's not script is not quality.
They got all the good actors, but not enough quality.
And that's a little bit you know. The Netflix has
like that. They usually do movies with Kevin Hard and
rock a lot.

Speaker 2 (29:40):
That's where she lives is on Netflix.

Speaker 1 (29:41):
Yeah, that's that's what she lives with. I'm pretty sure
that that's about to die down pretty.

Speaker 2 (29:44):
So maybe I don't know, but she's not getting any
like big budget films, like actual theatrical films outside of
the two Godzilla movies. Outside of those two, she's Netflix
all the way. And I think they're gearing up to
do a Nola Holmes three.

Speaker 1 (29:58):
Oh God.

Speaker 2 (29:59):
And I almost feel bad for her because I realized
because Okay, you see your social media stuff and you
see videos out there, and she's very much trying to
portray herself as like, I'm an adult, I am a woman.
You know, I'm married, and you know I'm a person.
I'm an adult. But then you see all her roles, James,

(30:19):
she's always like a fifteen, sixteen year old. Even that
Electric State movie, she's playing like a sixteen year old,
and clearly she's an adult. And she has a little
brother in the film who looks like a child, and
then you're trying to tell me she's also a child,
like they're two years apart.

Speaker 1 (30:34):
I don't believe it. I don't get it, man, I
just don't get it. I'm trying to get it, but
I can't you know. Eventually she wanted to learn how
to walk on home, you know, and get out there
in the big bad Hollywood world, and Netflix can't protect her,
can't keep protecting her. On Thego podcast with Think of

(30:54):
and I'm gonna go and talk about The Amateur. The

(31:16):
Amateur stars Ronnie Mallick. The trailer was kind of like
Mister Robot, and everybody kept telling me how because I
never watched Mister Robot, only watched a couple of episodes
of it. You know, Basically, this guy an amateur, his
wife dies, and Robbie Manin's character works for the CIA,
and he doesn't know why his wife died, finds out
it's a bigger planet, you know, trying to find the

(31:37):
murder of his wife. And also too, he does know
how to fight. He doesn't know any skills, He don't
have to fire a gun, he does not do any stuff,
and you know, the whole CIA is all just laughing
at him, like dude, that's that's not gonna not laughing
at him, but just saying that who are you gonna shoot? Like,
who are gonna be? Like John Wick out there? Yeah,
you know John Burtholls in it as well, It kind
of takes you into a psychology of a mind that

(32:00):
this guy may not be able to shoot a gun,
but he knows how to do everything else. You know,
he knows how to hack computers, you know, how to
make homemade US exposive.

Speaker 2 (32:08):
So he's got the he's got the brains, but he
doesn't have the technical skill.

Speaker 1 (32:11):
Now, yeah, it doesn't have the bronze. You know, he
got the brains being got the bronze, you know, obviously,
you know, look at him and like the dude was skinny,
about five feet buck teeth.

Speaker 2 (32:21):
Come on, man, yeah it looks like Freddie Mercury.

Speaker 1 (32:23):
Yeah, I got that Simpson mouth going on. You know.
So it's like, what do you what do you expect
from him? I really really enjoyed this film. It's not
an action film. It's more of a thriller, you know. Yeah,
it's more of a thriller. You know, in these type
of movies, I kind of already assumed anyway, like, hey,
we gotta uncover a little bit more than just your wife.

(32:44):
There's a little bit more extinct than just your wife.
Of course, yeah, it always usually that's how it was
the enemy of the state. It kind of mind me
Enemy of the State a little bit.

Speaker 2 (32:52):
That movie well, yes, yes, he says, we watched it
not too long ago. I think we did it. Will
Smith Binge, Yeah, I love that.

Speaker 1 (32:58):
It's one of my favorite movies of with Smith. Very
underrated film him with Gene Happened. But it kind of
has that feel to it a little bit. You know,
the cinematography of it. It wasn't great, but it has
that kind of feel to it. You can tell it's
definitely done on a budget.

Speaker 2 (33:12):
That's not always a bad thing, though.

Speaker 1 (33:13):
You would never tell the difference. And it's very smart,
smart driven. The pacing is very slow, but you're learning
about what this guy does in the CIA and you're running.
You're also learning to that the CIA has got a
lot of secrets also to as.

Speaker 2 (33:28):
Well as they do as they always do.

Speaker 1 (33:31):
And he just on this man's journey, on his hunt
to try to see find out who killed his wife,
why and the bigger plot at State. So yeah, if
I had to give this movie, and I don't know
any stars I get with five out of I give
it about three stars. I give about three stars three

(33:52):
out of five.

Speaker 2 (33:53):
Here's a fact. It's based off a nineteen eighty one
novel of the same name.

Speaker 1 (33:57):
Yeah, a novel and movie.

Speaker 2 (33:58):
Yeah, it was a film originally, the first one.

Speaker 1 (34:02):
Yep, which and I never watched it. I'm hoping, well,
I'm not hoping. I'm wondering if it was the same
one as it. It's like it was the same type
of feel to it like you saw in this one.
I'm pretty sure they added some more stuff in there
to it.

Speaker 2 (34:15):
Yeah, I will either, you know. I mean, obviously this
one's more updated, but yeah, the original, you.

Speaker 1 (34:23):
Know, it's probably and lone Fischburn is really good in
there too.

Speaker 2 (34:26):
Lawrence Fishburn, Yeah, he's really good Nano.

Speaker 1 (34:28):
I always love watching him at.

Speaker 2 (34:30):
Yeah, he's always He's always playing good characters always.

Speaker 1 (34:33):
Man. I saw him on an interview with the View
and he was talking about him doing all these different
roles and he loves it. He loves doing all these
different movies.

Speaker 2 (34:41):
Right, because that that's what you do as an actor.
You don't do the same role over and over again.
You branch out and you expand. Robbie Mallick and Lawrence
Fishburn are very good about doing different kind of roles.

Speaker 1 (34:51):
Oh yeah, Like this was a different, different film than
Robby Mallick has ever done, very vulnerable to see him
as his little geeky guy they can't defend himself, that
does not shoot a gun, never even tried to shoot anybody.
I mean, why would he ever try to shoot anybody?
You know what I'm saying, It's like, well that's all.
They probably like you a fire gun? Well, I mean,
what do you know how to shoot a million? Yeah?

Speaker 2 (35:11):
Why would any Yeah? Why would he? Why would he
want to try work behind a disk on a computer
all day long uncovering uncovering hacks and encryptions and terrorist plots.

Speaker 1 (35:21):
Like what do you what do you expect me to do?

Speaker 2 (35:24):
So this movie had a budget of sixty million dollars,
so you're correct on the little budget part. It only
made thirty three point three million so far. Unfortunately, it
hasn't made his money back, and that probably means it's
gonna get ripped down and put on streaming sometime.

Speaker 1 (35:37):
Soon, eventually, eventually, because we got a couple more movies
coming down the pipeline, and you know, to morrow morning
see those movies in the morn, they're gonna probably take
it down. They can't have movies play the empty houses.

Speaker 2 (35:50):
Yeah, of course, but it definitely sounds like a cool
spy thriller.

Speaker 1 (35:54):
Yeah, it's nice.

Speaker 2 (35:56):
Definitely sounds like a like a good, good movie to watch,
you know, a good breath the fresh air from your
stupid action movie. This actually kind of makes you think
a little bit more.

Speaker 1 (36:04):
Yeah, you know, it was a little bit deaf. Everybody,
you know is it is not a superhero movie. It's
not Walter Wall Action. It's not Equalizer, it's not John Wick.
This is just is a thriller, espionage type movie.

Speaker 2 (36:17):
To sit down and watch it movie. Don't you don't
sit down and look at your phone the whole time
while this is in the background.

Speaker 1 (36:23):
Exactly. You got to gotta stick with it, you know.
So I really enjoyed it.

Speaker 2 (36:27):
I'm glad you enjoyed it. It turns out one of
the original actors from the nineteen eighty one movie had
a cameo in this movie as well. Martha Keller. She's
a Swiss actress. She's been in the Marathon Man. How
old is she currently? She is eighty years old.

Speaker 1 (36:42):
Okay, never mind, all right, come trying to look back
at my look the back of my brain head. I
remember her in the film, I think I do. I
just obviously I didn't know, was it right?

Speaker 2 (36:52):
She was probably like a pass passer by or whatever
in the film. They normally do that, right, h It
looks like she has had an extensive career in theater.
From like nine teen seventy to twenty eleven, she was
doing a bunch of theatrical stuff, like actual theatrical stuff, okay,
And then as far as movies goes, it's like a
bunch of Swiss films because she was born in Switzerland.
Most recently, of course, you have your movie The Amateur,

(37:15):
and I'm not seeing anything that we would recognize her in.

Speaker 1 (37:19):
Probably not, so you said, it's just Swiss actors.

Speaker 2 (37:21):
She's a Swiss actress. Yeah, And it looks like any
American movies she's done were kind of on the smaller
scale where they might have all been born. She was
a voice actor for this French anime movie called Mars
Express that was in twenty twenty three.

Speaker 1 (37:33):
I remember that movie.

Speaker 2 (37:34):
Yeah, Yeah, you remember Mars Express.

Speaker 1 (37:36):
Yeah, Marsin's Express, Yeah, the anime. It was anime cartoon, right, yeah, yeah,
I remember coming out. I didn't see it, Yeah, I
remember coming out.

Speaker 2 (37:45):
That's a surprise. You don't normally you don't normally like anime.

Speaker 1 (37:48):
I don't, but you know, I do remember their name though.
Their name came to mind when I was like, oh
I remember that. I see.

Speaker 2 (37:53):
All right, Well there you go. That's that's your six
degrees to to Martha Keller.

Speaker 1 (37:59):
Well, yeah, how how is this? Just watching the movie,
I had a good time with it. It's a very
thrilling type movie.

Speaker 2 (38:04):
I'm definitely down to watch. And that seems like something
we would watch.

Speaker 1 (38:07):
Honestly, I don't think so. I think so it.

Speaker 2 (38:10):
Seems something right up our wheelhouse, because you know what
it It kind of makes me think of The Killer
Movie with Michael Fastenbender.

Speaker 1 (38:16):
Which I did like. I had a couple things I
didn't like, but did I did like overall, I did
like that movie. David Fincher is one that directed.

Speaker 2 (38:22):
Yeah, it was a great movie. So from what you're
telling me about this film, it sounds kind of like
a similar vibe, somewhat not in plot, but like to
the vibes and the emotions of the movie. It sounds
kind of similar from how you described.

Speaker 1 (38:36):
It Someway, it has some similar similar vibe to it.

Speaker 2 (38:45):
With Jacob and James, it's freaking rad.

Speaker 1 (38:49):
Brother. While you and her probably enjoyed eving film Warfare,

(39:10):
I'm pretty sure you won't.

Speaker 2 (39:12):
Oh no, yeah, she's already. She's not into that movie.
We've seen the trailer a couple of times. And she
doesn't like war movies in general unless it's like they're
fighting space aliens, all right, but like actual war movies,
she's a no go. Like that Independence Day freaking battleship. Okay,

(39:33):
she's into those those kind that kind of level of
war movies. I get that it's fiction, it's fun, it's
not as like serious as some soldiers in Afghanistan are
just trying to survive.

Speaker 1 (39:43):
You know. Yeah, because this one here is not for
a faint heart. And I do believe that this is
one of the better war movies that was probably ever made.
I really, really truly believe that. You know, these got
these floor guys. They're in Afghanistan, held up in his house,
and there's a family house. Might add the family's in

(40:04):
the bedroom. And it's a very slow tension build film.
Oh man, my butt was clinching the entire freaking time.
And the movie starts off with you know, a little
shows you all of them together watching on aerobics, you know,
watching woman doing aerobics and stuff like that, because they
don't hate horny horny guys. What you expect, you know,

(40:26):
the overseas and that that was the last funny part.
Bet you see, you get all your laughs in there
at the beginning of the film, because after that part
we get back to you know, we get back to
serious land.

Speaker 2 (40:39):
There's no comedic relief anywhere.

Speaker 1 (40:40):
Absolutely absolutely not. It is just tension clenching, butt clinching.
You just oh, man, it was just very very tension build. Man,
so uncomfortable, so uncomfortable. And when in and when that
that that bow breaks, when that bow finally breaks, man,
when that damn breaks? Who man like saving private Ryan

(41:03):
times ten? Oh really yes, saying Ryan times ten.

Speaker 2 (41:09):
Even the opening scene or just not.

Speaker 1 (41:11):
An opening scene, like I said, it starts off very friendly, funny.
You know, these bunch of guys. They're just trying to
show you the comobity with the cammobity between these two,
between all these guys. You know. Yeah, and yeah. After
that's it, man, just just tension build. They go in
his house, they seek out the cross the street, whether

(41:31):
where the terrors are is okay, this is where everybody is.
Sniper is inside inside the room there as on the bed.
He's got us, you know, looking at how everything's going
on the street, and he started seeing the terrors go
in and out this room and stuff, and oh man,
it is it is just so good but so tension.

(41:52):
Bill will Pilter, Will Pulter Man, he's in here. He's
definitely not having a good time. I'll tell you what.
This is definitely different from definitely Unicorn. That's that's the
damn show.

Speaker 2 (42:02):
Oh that's right, he's in that movie.

Speaker 1 (42:04):
Yeah, it's definitely ten times different than that. Yeah. And
then also to Johnny Storm from the New Fantast Tour.
I don't know why I'm blocking on the same run,
Joseph Quinn. Yeah, James Gallafini, his son is in here
too as well. He's very good. Yep. Oh, man, Jacob.
It's a movie that you can only really watch once,
you know. It's not something you could just sit down
and watch again over and over again.

Speaker 2 (42:25):
Yeah, that makes sense.

Speaker 1 (42:26):
You know, it's only ninety minutes. I know. Someone said
that yo, I didn't like the movie because it wasn't
long enough. I said, okay, you stupid, because this movie
doesn't need to be long enough. It doesn't need be
that long. Then it really does. When you watch the
film and you know what they're trying to do, it
was like, okay, why would you need to be held
up in here any longer than what you already need
to be?

Speaker 2 (42:46):
Yeah, why does it need to be two hours long?

Speaker 1 (42:48):
It does not need to be two hours long. The
time limit is just fine. You know, it's not a
shoot him up, bang bang type movie. It's not that
type of film. It's not like any other war movie
you've ever seen. It has typical same beat to it,
but it's very tension built. It's built off of tension.

Speaker 2 (43:05):
You're right. It's not as shoot them up, but it's
more or less like we have to get from point
A to point B without dying, and.

Speaker 1 (43:11):
Well, you know, like the whole movie is held up
in this one spot in this in this house. It's
just a very tension build film. You're not going to
see a whole bunch of guns being going off until
the back end of the film, until the middle all
the way on, that's when it goes crazy.

Speaker 2 (43:26):
Movies with one setting like that are kind of tricky.
It's like a fifty to fifty thing right, because there's
plenty of them out there. But it's always a question
of is this going to be good if we just
stay in this one spot the whole movie, you know, like,
what can we do in this one room for ninety
minutes that'll keep the audience here? And that's hard to

(43:49):
do sometimes.

Speaker 1 (43:50):
Nd percent right, it's hard to do sometimes, but they
definitely achieve it here. They definitely achieve it here. It's
just a heartbreaking film there, really is. It's very very
well done. The cinematography is really great. All these actors
really given it. They all well, I like about this
movie is not Hollywood up. You had the real survivors
that were in this movie. See, they gave memory of

(44:13):
what they could give.

Speaker 2 (44:14):
I had read it. I had seen that.

Speaker 1 (44:15):
Yeah, so everything you've seen in the movie is everything that.

Speaker 2 (44:19):
Happened based off their memories, based off the memories.

Speaker 1 (44:21):
That they can only remember. God man, it's such such
a good film.

Speaker 2 (44:26):
This's had a very small budget too. It had a
budget of twenty million and it's only made back eight
point three million, So again, kind of Upsetting is not
going to make its money back, or so far it
hasn't made its money back. You know, the these two
movies you're reviewed great reviews, they sound like great stories.
It is just mildly upsetting that they didn't make as

(44:48):
much money as they could have.

Speaker 1 (44:49):
Well, I mean, I think that's how it's been for
the past two months now. It's just been rough for
these movies. But the exception the Minecraft, it's just been rough.
You know, that's all in the one one of the news,
the Hollywood Reporters or whatever it was. You know, marsh
was one of the worst months that they had to
move theaters and to move theater business.

Speaker 2 (45:10):
I can see that. And that also makes sense though,
because like you're the March is a weird in between time, right,
because you're you're coming off the back of your big
holiday movie season and you're going into your summer blockbuster season.

Speaker 1 (45:23):
So they're trying to save everything for the summer.

Speaker 2 (45:26):
Right Exactly. You don't want to put out a big
movie in March or February. Not a lot of people
are coming to see it because they're busy with school
or whatever else. You move into the summertime, more kids
are out of school, there's more chances of people going
to see movies in general. Not that this is a
kid's movie that we're talking about here.

Speaker 1 (45:43):
No, no, absolutely, not absolutely, which I found kind of
weird because Batman came out in March. The Batman came out.
Oh really, Yeah, it came out in March and it
was one of the biggest films that month. And then
Don't Forget Everything all at once, that came out in April.

Speaker 2 (45:56):
That one did big money.

Speaker 1 (45:57):
That did a lot of good money.

Speaker 2 (46:00):
I think that movie probably surprised people the amount of
money it did. The Batman makes sense though, because the
Batman is it's a household name. It's like Minecraft, right,
it's you go for the name. You're not really going
because the movie looks good. You're going because you recognize
the material.

Speaker 1 (46:14):
Yeah, yeah, that's true.

Speaker 2 (46:16):
So like a movie like Warfare and The Amateur, not
many people are not many people know The Amateur is
based off a book.

Speaker 1 (46:24):
For one, they're not very big at ps. You know,
it's not very big, and they're not that original, but
they're somewhat original.

Speaker 2 (46:32):
I mean, war movies are a diamond dozen, right, So
I can see why some people would choose to skip
out on this film, especially with the material.

Speaker 1 (46:41):
Yeah, the sensitive material. You know, if you've been in
the war or you sensitive to that stuff.

Speaker 2 (46:47):
Oh yeah, the PTSD would keep you out.

Speaker 1 (46:50):
Yeah, I toltally understanding. I said, like I said last week,
it's all about people's sensibilities. What are your sensibilities about
these certain moves? Right? You know? Me, I to enjoy
some more than others because I think some of them
can be very hollywooded up, very glammed up.

Speaker 2 (47:04):
And you have to be careful about that.

Speaker 1 (47:05):
Yeah. And then this one was not very glamb though,
not even a little bit. This one was very good.
And if I had to give it how many stars,
I'll give it four to five.

Speaker 2 (47:12):
You know what, That's a win for A twenty four
because I know you've been critical in A twenty four lately,
and I kind of have been too with some of
the stuff they've been coming out with. So I think
A twenty four deserves us win.

Speaker 1 (47:25):
Yeah, that's true. And I do like the director because
he did Civil War.

Speaker 2 (47:29):
Yeah, that was his last movie, so he did back
to back war films. Essentially one's more fictional than the other,
but still he's also doing the twenty eight years later movies.

Speaker 1 (47:38):
Yep, So he is my only problem with Civil War,
which I said last year, was that, you know, you
didn't want to pick a side. Pick a side. I mean, yeah,
you're right.

Speaker 2 (47:49):
He left it very vague. I didn't mind it too much,
but I understand where you're coming from. You would like
to know who's the good guys and the bad guys
in this because the way they did the way he
did it was like, I don't really know who was
the bad guy or a good guy.

Speaker 1 (48:01):
You love it up to your own interpretation. You kind
of figured what was the bad side and what was
the good side.

Speaker 2 (48:06):
They're subtle hints and whatnot.

Speaker 1 (48:08):
So that's that's my only thing. I was like, come on, man,
just pick a side. They an'll have time for this
Kyle and stuff. People don't either watch the movie or
you're not gonna watch the movie.

Speaker 2 (48:17):
Great, use some music though in that movie.

Speaker 1 (48:18):
The music is great. Music is great. That last scene
of them trying to push to the White House, you know,
trying to hear them get to the White House interview
to President one of the best war scenes I've ever seen.
Oh yeah, still one of the best war scenes.

Speaker 2 (48:33):
Yeah, totally agree.

Speaker 1 (48:35):
So that at my two reviews for these two movies, I.

Speaker 2 (48:39):
Really like these reviews I really enjoyed them, James, because
I feel like, you know, the last couple of movies
we've talked about, you haven't really enjoyed them as much.
So I'm glad to hear you wax poetically about these
films on the Girl podcasts with Jacob and James.

Speaker 1 (48:58):
It's decent. For the last story I got is, I
don't know if you watched SNL, that's Neil kind of

(49:19):
been a little bit of a hot streak lately. I
think last week was it this weekend? Last weekend where
they showed Jack Black and that whole episode, that whole
episode of Jack Black was money Money. He was hilariously funny.

Speaker 2 (49:32):
Yeah, I heard about it. They had him on for
a few skits and it went It went over really well.
And the weekend before they hit they had Morgan Walling on.

Speaker 1 (49:40):
They actually made fund of more than would now that weekend.
That was funny too as well.

Speaker 2 (49:45):
You know, it's funny because they tried to blow it
up like that's a bigger controversy than it was. I
don't know, it didn't feel like as controversial as it
seemed like they were trying to make it out to me,
not not SNL but just like a general republic.

Speaker 1 (49:57):
Well, you know, as soon as he said I'm going
back to Guy's country, you know you usually assume that,
like you know, on that Trump on that truck, even
go that Trump stuff. But he wasn't saying that. He
was just like, hey, I'm I'm a small town dude.
You know, I'm not really a TV person. I just
want to go back home.

Speaker 2 (50:14):
I think the next couple of days he put out
like some merch that said give me back to God's Country.
So it felt like a marketing thing for him.

Speaker 1 (50:21):
It was.

Speaker 2 (50:21):
It was kind of weird in that aspect, but like
I don't know him him walking off stage during the credits,
just like, Okay, it's not it's not that big a deal, guys.

Speaker 1 (50:29):
I mean, ken Thompson was just like he would just
kind of throw it off a little bit. He was like,
all right, that's kind of weird whatever.

Speaker 2 (50:35):
But Keny Thompson has been doing the show for twenty years.

Speaker 1 (50:37):
He's seen everything.

Speaker 2 (50:38):
He's had to share the stage with Kanye, So I
don't I think on the on the scale of weirdness
even for him, that was probably low.

Speaker 1 (50:45):
He's seen everything. But this past weekend they did a
sketch on white Lotus. Did do you whte white Lotus?

Speaker 2 (50:52):
No, I've heard a lot about it. I think season
three just wrapped.

Speaker 1 (50:55):
Okay, So do you know the girl, the Ali Ali would?

Speaker 2 (50:59):
I just know she got teeth. That's that's all I
know from the story.

Speaker 1 (51:03):
They made fun of her. They during the sketch we had.
Donald Trump was also in there too. That was pretty good.
That does Donald Trump. That's probably the most spot on
between him and Shane gillis two of the most spot
on Trump in person I've ever seen in my life.
Way better than Ali Baba. But they made fun of
her teeth, and if you look at the pictures side

(51:23):
by side, it looks pretty damn accurate. I've seen it. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (51:29):
I mean, look, man, you can't be so sensitive.

Speaker 1 (51:31):
Them teeth have made you money. Them teeth have made
you money. Like I would say, now, if she was
to get them teeth fixed, she probably wouldn't make no
money because people won't know who she was.

Speaker 2 (51:41):
I mean, you know, I kind of understand it because
because teeth, people's teeth can be a sensitive subject.

Speaker 1 (51:47):
I mean, well for Americans, when British people really don't
put that much stock on teeth as much as we do.

Speaker 2 (51:52):
That might be more of a stereotype than anything, but
probably that probably.

Speaker 1 (51:56):
I mean, look, I think she's very pretty. She's a
very pretty girl. I'm not I'm not coming on this
podcast saying that she's uggy. But some bad boys, he was.
You're not gonna sit up here in gas like me,
and she's in a room and we're all sitting in
the room talking to her. You're not gonna know them,
damn teeth. You can't help but you know, fair, fair,

(52:19):
How do you feel about that?

Speaker 2 (52:21):
How do I feel about?

Speaker 1 (52:22):
Am I? Am I being wrong? Am I wrong for that?

Speaker 2 (52:26):
I mean, no, you would you would notice the teeth.

Speaker 1 (52:31):
Is there?

Speaker 2 (52:31):
Man? Yeah you would, you would notice her teeth. But
I also, like, I get why she's sensitive about it. However,
you're an actress, you're you are an acting game. It
hasn't deterred you from getting rolls. So she could get
veneers and hopefully she doesn't. I hope she doesn't get
veneers from this.

Speaker 1 (52:49):
Oh she can't because she can't.

Speaker 2 (52:51):
Well, I mean she could, but yeah, you're right, like
everyone would know it's because of the skit, and so
I hope, I hope she refrains because I know, getting
veneers like the big thing now for celebrities.

Speaker 1 (53:01):
Oh yeah, like even believing on Denzel Washington. Uh uh,
you know that pitching wings up their box in the
boxing match, and he was he was doing that movie, yeah,
Magnificent seven. So that's why he had that beard. That's
scraggly beard and then mustache. He had them teeth. Get
them teeth sticking out. That's exactly how Alli looks like.

(53:22):
She got the Benzel looking on it. Look, man, she
is a pretty girl. Them teeth have made her money
enjoying her time. If you want to get it fixed,
you can get it fixed by guarantee. If you get
them teeth sticked, everyone's gonna everyone's gonna probably make fun
of you even more and you probably won't be as
recognizable in Hollywood because of that.

Speaker 2 (53:42):
You can also just try to flip it right, be like, Okay, hey,
they made fun of me. But this also raises, you know,
awareness for the White Loaders show. So I'm glad people
watch White Loados enough to notice my teeth.

Speaker 1 (53:53):
It does. That's a good point. That's a good point.
Like now next season, people people gonna bit watch these
last three seasons and then they go they're going to
it for the next season to watch an teeth.

Speaker 2 (54:04):
They might go rewatch the show because maybe they didn't
notice her teeth and now SNL pointed it out, so
they're gonna go watch the show and be like, were
her teeth that bad in this show?

Speaker 1 (54:13):
Man? Man? Oh wait, man, have you ever seen somebody
with you know, somebody had teeth like that before? You
know what I mean? My sister she had a teeth
problem and she had like like that one tooth that's
home like it was like a little gums. It will
stick up all though too straight. But you got that
one too, that's just pushing up there.

Speaker 2 (54:33):
Oh, my teeth rejacked. In high school, they were all
kinds of messed up. I had braces for a year,
so yeah, like two or three years. I think I
got them off my senior year of high school, but yeah,
I had.

Speaker 1 (54:45):
I had.

Speaker 2 (54:46):
I had braces from like freshmen to senior this year.
That yeah, they my teeth rejacked. They're still not that
great looking, but they're better than they were. Trust me,
they were really bad. I have nightmares my teeth just
go back to what they were.

Speaker 1 (55:03):
But do you wear like those little Lottch collos. Those
then go to sleep.

Speaker 2 (55:07):
Oh okay, I did when I first had my braces
taken off. But I haven't worn a retainer in years,
and my teeth have shifted because of it.

Speaker 1 (55:15):
You got wear retainer, made sure wore a retainer, should happen.
I tell my sister were hers because she got her
teeth fixed and she got braces and all that good stuff.
She got that one tooth that she wanted to get out,
which is really all she really wanted. She really didn't
care about anything else, like the gap. The gap teeth
thing is kind of runs in my family. My mom
had it, and my sister has by my niece have it,

(55:35):
so it kind of runs in the family.

Speaker 2 (55:36):
You can either embrace it or you can try to
fix it.

Speaker 1 (55:39):
And she's like that, you know, the gap never really
bothered her. So the gap opened up again because it's
like you, she stopped wearing the retainers when she went
to sleep. Yeah, I'm not making fun of the young lady.
I'm just going along. I'm just reading what I read
on the story I saw because there's some video or
pictures out there that pop Rots took while she's in
London and she's crying, and she said on Instagram that

(56:00):
that was totally none related to what happened on Listen now,
and then she said later, but it's good to know
that people, you know, told her, Hey, I love you,
You're still a beautiful woman and stuff like that. That's
that's good to see. Man, that's good to see. I'm
glad to see people still got a heart out there now.
The other side of the world saw a lot of

(56:22):
stuff that was not it's friendly, So give me credit
to be honest.

Speaker 2 (56:27):
I kind of feel like if she didn't mention it,
no one would have really known about this issue. I
don't know, like because the only reason I heard about
it was because she was upset about it. So I
feel like if you didn't say you were upset about it,
this would have just blown over until next Saturday and
the next thing happens. Hell, you had the whole like

(56:47):
Katie Perry went the space for ten minutes. The thing
just happened this week, right like, so that overlapped you.
And then even then SML is going to make fun
of it, you know they are, so so you just.

Speaker 1 (56:59):
Got to kind of embrace it, and you know, can't
be You can't just be too sensitive about it. I
understand that's a sensitive subject to her. But if you
wanted to get it fixed, you could have got to
fix you didn't. So there it is. Hollywood's gonna make
funny esenl. I'm telling you, man, just where it is?
You know? And yes, are you are? You are right?
They are gonna talk about Katy Perry mission thing was?
I think people overreacting on that.

Speaker 2 (57:19):
Kind of transition here before we get out of here,
would you classify Katy Perry, Gale and all them as astronauts?

Speaker 1 (57:27):
Oh? I don't think they're astronauts, But I also don't
think there was a government funded a funded thing, So
I can't get upset.

Speaker 2 (57:34):
No, it's not a government funded thing. I think it was.
It's they either paid for it or Bezos's fiance up
front of the bill for it, because it's like one
hundred and fifty thousand for a seat exactly.

Speaker 1 (57:45):
So why hear all these people saying like, oh man,
you messing up those on there. All that money that
you spent that that's been spent on this could have
been spent on something else. How do you know they
didn't know? How you know these people don't give charities.
We don't know these people lives.

Speaker 2 (57:58):
That's true.

Speaker 1 (57:59):
I see how these different from theirs. But he's talking
smack about Katie Perry, Wendy's of all people talking smack about, well, Katy.

Speaker 2 (58:04):
Perry, I mean Wendy's. Wendy's throws hands, Wendy's. Yeah, there's
social media. Man, they're spicy over there.

Speaker 1 (58:14):
Oh that's the spicy in the burgers.

Speaker 2 (58:16):
Huh, you're the fresh, never frozen burgers.

Speaker 1 (58:18):
Yeah. I thought that was so silly, man. So you know,
I thought that was so stupid. Look, it is what
it is.

Speaker 2 (58:26):
I will say. I feel like Katie Perry is going
to be like ten times more obnoxious though after this.

Speaker 1 (58:30):
Yeah, could be.

Speaker 2 (58:32):
This is the most relevant thing she's done since she's
kissed a girl.

Speaker 1 (58:35):
So I don't see that. She was pretty good at
dog on popular when she had her hits and stuff
like that. She's just stopped making songs and got pregnant
with boy Orlando Bloom.

Speaker 2 (58:45):
She had a whole album come out last year and
nobody even knew. Nobody was like, oh, you make music stuff.

Speaker 1 (58:50):
Yeah, her music is not as popular anymore as like
I used to, because you got so many people. You
got so many other women that making music now, So yeah,
that's all I got. That's all I got today.

Speaker 2 (58:59):
Hey, that's all I got to. This episode has ran
very long today, but that's good. It was a good episode.
