Speaker 1 (00:00):
So we love TV, we love movies. We were kind
of it's a low hanging fruit for us.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
Yeah, easy to talk about.
Speaker 1 (00:08):
These are TV shows that were based on true stories.
Speaker 2 (00:13):
Quantum Leap, No, damn It, The Walking Dead, right, Malcolm
in the Middle, That was my life.
Speaker 1 (00:24):
That's based off a book. If I remember correctly, I
didn't know that Boardwalk Empire.
Speaker 2 (00:29):
Okay, it had a lot of true life characters in there,
like Lucky Luciano had a part in there as well.
Al Capone was a character in that as well, but
like the main character that, like Steve Bushimi played, was
not actual person in real life, but it was just
loosely based on somebody like that. I love that show. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (00:53):
The book is called Boardwalk Empire, The Birth and High
Times and Corruption of Atlantic City. It's based off of
a character named Enoch L. Johnson whose name was changed
to Nuckie for the TV show. And it's a great show.
I acknowledge it's a good show. I couldn't get into.
Speaker 2 (01:10):
It really, Yeah, is it just the gangster thing that
did it or what?
Speaker 3 (01:13):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (01:14):
It was just a little too and this is gonna
sound silly because of what it was performative.
Speaker 2 (01:20):
Yes, Okay, I felt a little too over the top. Okay,
I first time I ever got exposed to it. I
had just got home from working the clubs. It was
like two thirty in the morning and it was on,
and of course you got to wind down when you
go home and work. So I sat down and watched
one episode of that and said, what the fuck is this?
I'm in Yeah, and then I went back and rewatched
(01:41):
every episode and then like kept up with it after that.
Speaker 1 (01:45):
And Deadwood's the same for me. It's a little too performative.
Speaker 2 (01:48):
I've never seen dead Wood.
Speaker 1 (01:49):
I never got I think you would love that is
a Western yes, okay, yeah, another one Friday Night Lights.
I think most people that grew up in our time
would know that that is a real story based off
small Town, Texas, Midland Odessa, Baby Reindeer. If you haven't
seen this show on Netflix, it's a pretty good TV
(02:12):
show about a guy who's a comedian who has a
woman stalk him, and it is a real story, so real.
In fact, the real woman that stalked him suit him
for making her look bad. Pretty good glow. If you've
never seen this show, I believe it's on Amazon Prime
and it glow stands for something, do you know?
Speaker 2 (02:32):
I do? It's The Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling. Yes, grew
up watching that stuff Netflix.
Speaker 1 (02:38):
My mistake. Netflix.
Speaker 2 (02:39):
Yeah, Alison Brie shows her boobies in it. Absolutely, Mark
tits Oh my god, you can't beat them.
Speaker 1 (02:46):
Yeah, it is. It is a great fun look at
something that I grew up watching. Oh yeah, thinking it
was so cool and it wasn't great.
Speaker 2 (02:55):
No, it wasn't. But you're watching women wrestle.
Speaker 1 (02:58):
Yeah, it's a wire. If you've ever seen The Wire,
it's a great show on HBO, like when they were
first starting out. Idris Elba is in it, Michael B.
Jordan is in it, and the guy who wrote it,
David Simon, was a police reporter and Ed Burns, who
helped write it, was a former homicide detective and they
(03:20):
use storylines from events that happened when he worked in
the police world.
Speaker 2 (03:24):
I don't think I've ever watched this series.
Speaker 1 (03:25):
Oh my gosh, it's so good, dude, Okay, it's so good.
Medium If you know this show. Patricia Arkett is in it.
It was on NBC and I think he actually moved
to another network after I think a while. Okay, and
she's a woman who uses their psychic abilities to help
police solve crimes. And it is based off of multiple
(03:45):
characters that do this.
Speaker 2 (03:48):
Yeah, I remember when that was out. It not my bag,
so never watched it.
Speaker 1 (03:52):
Another show that is based off a true story that
is actually getting ready to start up again is Zach
Braff Scrubs. Yeah, that's based off of real stuff. Apparently.
Speaker 2 (04:04):
The creator, Bill Lawrence said it's based on his college
friends experience in medical school that he witnessed the tullet
took on everyone and made a comedy out of it.
How zany?
Speaker 1 (04:17):
Yeah, Yeah, I like Zach Braff's writing. I like the
movies he directs. I do not like him as an actor.
Speaker 2 (04:26):
Okay, I think the only thing I've ever seen him
in is Scrubs. And the show was all right, The
original was all right. I didn't get into it. I
didn't watch it. When it's current, there's reruns on and
nothing else I might get down.
Speaker 1 (04:39):
Garden State is something. If you've seen that movie with
Natalie Portman, that is a pretty good one. I think
he's also written a couple of other comedy movies, if
I might remember correctly. I can't remember all of them,
but he does a lot of directing and TV stuff.
(05:00):
I think he did some BoJack Horseman stuff too. But yeah,
The Americans fantastic TV show on USA, if I remember,
I think it's on Netflix now and it has Carrie
Russell and Matthew rise Rays and they play Americans who
are actual Russians who are spies in America.
Speaker 2 (05:23):
Okay, I remember you talking about that.
Speaker 1 (05:25):
It's such a good, good show and that Michael Riat
Matthew Rias Rays Rias. He is a fantastic actor. And
he's in a new one with uh what's her name
with the She's always crying Claire Danes. Yeah, I love that.
I did that you knew exactly last time about and
(05:47):
uh he's a psycho killer in that. It's fantastic. Yeah.
But what's funny is he he seems so serious but
when he does interviews he's British, like what is happening?
Speaker 2 (06:00):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (06:00):
But Americans is of the movies, the shows we've reckoned
we've heard so far, uh, the Wire and Americans I
would recommend over the top, Like you must watch that Scandal,
which is a great show. I think you love that
show Scandal. Yeah? Is that I am I confusing. I
think Kerry Washington.
Speaker 3 (06:19):
Yeah, I didn't watch Scandal.
Speaker 1 (06:21):
She's a DC fixer, yeah. And it is based on
Judy Smith, who's a Washington fixer who posted in the
White House under h W And she works with high
profile client clients Monica Lewinsky, Michael Vick. And she was
a real person who did what this person did in
(06:43):
the show.
Speaker 4 (06:43):
Is that a who writes that one shot? Uh rhymes?
Speaker 2 (06:49):
I think line no Vin Busta and bust Vin, Ben Diesel,
Ben Raims, Ben Raims. Oh, we have the meats.
Speaker 1 (07:01):
Orange is the New Black. Everyone that show came out.
Everybody's like, it's so good. And the first season was
pretty good.
Speaker 4 (07:07):
Second season two, after that it took a giant dump.
Speaker 1 (07:13):
It became performative after that. But it is based off
a memoir by the main character that Taylor Shilling plays,
Piper Kerman and Tokyovice. If you've never seen Tokyovice Sunshine
from Varsity Blues, Remember Sunshine? Oh no, remember the Titans.
(07:34):
Sunshine he plays I think it's him. He plays a
kid in Japan and Tokyovice is about a book. It
covers a book about the Japanese mafia and his involvement
with the Japanese mafia.
Speaker 4 (07:49):
I think Sunshine was played by Ryan Gosling, No no.
Speaker 2 (07:57):
And little El gort Ken what.
Speaker 1 (08:03):
Ronnie Bass played by Kip Purdue and remember the Titans
and Gosling was in it but he played Alan.
Speaker 3 (08:14):
Oh a, mom, I made it.
Speaker 1 (08:17):
I'm want to be in a movie with Denzel Washington. Amazing.
What's your character name? Alan Allen? Yeah, I might hear
the name Alan.
Speaker 2 (08:26):
I think a Pamela Pumpkin.
Speaker 3 (08:28):
Yeah, that's hilarious. This is Alan.
Speaker 2 (08:34):
What time I was at the bar. This is Reeson's
like last Halloween and they had a pumpkin decorating contests
up there, right, and uh, I was just grab some
paint and paint on there or whatever do it. And
I so wanted and I didn't. I should have, But
I just want to go up through with the paint
brush and say, hi, my name is Pamela with an
arrow pointing next to it. This is Alan.
Speaker 3 (08:55):
You should.
Speaker 2 (08:58):
Yeah. I just kept on drinking.
Speaker 1 (08:59):
Though we mentioned Boardwalk Empire, and then we mentioned Deadwood.
Deadwood also is a real based off a true story.
David Millok, the guy who rate it, did the show,
did research on the town's history and the show's producer.
They even hired researchers to use real events and memoirs
(09:23):
that happened in that area. People love it Blackbird. If
you know this show, it is on Apple TV, and
it might be one of the reasons I would argue
someone should get Apple TV or at least get it
for a weekend for free. And tarn Egerton is a
great actor.
Speaker 2 (09:42):
He is in it.
Speaker 1 (09:43):
He plays Jimmy, who's this you know, Wolf of wall
Street type of character who gets busted and goes to
prison and to get a deal, they want him to
talk to Larry, who is played by Paul Walter Houser,
who's a great act or he played the fat person
in it. Tanya, Okay, oh yeah, he is good. He's
(10:05):
a great actor. And he plays a troubled mind person
who uh they believe has kidnapped and killed a bunch
of kids. And there they want Jimmy to befriend him
and try to get the information. And at any moment.
Speaker 2 (10:20):
The Larry, the Paul uh Walter Houser guy, might kill him,
like he could go crazy at any moment.
Speaker 1 (10:26):
He's he's a real mess. And it's a six part
series and Jimmy has to get he's doing this to
get out of prisoner early and he has to do
it okay, and it's it's a it's really good. It's again.
It's probably one of those shows that I would totally
encourage someone to get Apple TV for. Along with Shrinking Shrinking,
(10:47):
Ted is a great show. I think Apple TV might
be one of the better. Even though they have a
ton of content, the content they do have is solid.
They have a kids a couple of kids shows that
are really good.
Speaker 2 (10:59):
We watch Still Water, which is about uh, it's about
these kids who live next door to a panda and
the panda teaches them. I know, I know, it's a
kids show. What do you fucking want from me? And
the kids like have struggles in life like kids do,
(11:20):
but then the panda teaches them like things you never
see the parents. It's weird.
Speaker 1 (11:25):
The panda has a house.
Speaker 2 (11:26):
The panda's raising these strange human kids.
Speaker 1 (11:28):
Yeah, and this panda is massive, like he's super big.
Speaker 3 (11:32):
Sing a song?
Speaker 1 (11:33):
Nope, I've never heard him sing.
Speaker 2 (11:35):
Does he practice karate in any way?
Speaker 1 (11:37):
Tai Chi fair enough, it's basic apparently based off a
Japanese story or something, but it's it's really good short
fifteen minute episodes. Look at He Split. There's a couple
other really good kid shows that are on there about
like one kid who can change characters, Like if he
(11:57):
touches somebody, he can be that person.
Speaker 2 (12:00):
That'd be a cool shit it's hard to have.
Speaker 1 (12:01):
Yeah, it's pretty cool. And he's help been trying to
solve a crime. Another one where these kids are trying
to they solve murders or sorry, mysteries every week and
using books. Okay, and the people kids from the characters
from the books become alive and they've got to try
and hide them and then also get them back into
(12:21):
the book. Yeah. Again, I think Apple TV The Morning Show.
There are plenty of good shows on Apple TV that
I would be like, I don't think you can go
wrong with it. And I know, gimp be your giant
MLS fan, so you definitely get to watch some MLS.
Speaker 2 (12:39):
Like for the the the ice Bucket Challenge. No, no,
that's als.
Speaker 1 (12:46):
MLS. What do you think it is? Apparently we didn't
do no fucking ice bucket challenges Because if you.
Speaker 2 (12:54):
Just would have done you I'm talking to you, if
you would have done it, you've got challenge. You put
see right and putting ice water in my head? Fuck
that I'm major League soccer right, Yes, that's what?
Speaker 1 (13:05):
Yes, good job. What does ALS stand for Lou Gary's disease.
Speaker 2 (13:11):
A l S.
Speaker 3 (13:13):
Yeah, the short version is lou Garriggs disease.
Speaker 1 (13:16):
But ALS does not stand for Lou Garrigg's disease.
Speaker 3 (13:19):
It's something I probably can't pronounce.
Speaker 2 (13:23):
And berg Legioneers syndrome, No, damn it. I would have
known it either amy or trophic lateral sclerosis.
Speaker 1 (13:33):
I was close or fucking Lou Garrig's disease.
Speaker 2 (13:37):
Orluke Gary up there with lou Gegg's disease. There's some
great stuff about Lou Garrig and when he got sick,
and how he wouldn't accept that he was sick right,
and that even when he was sick and uh, he
would show up to play baseball way earlier than everyone
else who wasn't fucking sick with Lou with his own disease.
(13:59):
I guess if you're like, if you have it, you're like, well,
it's named after me. I got a fucking show up.
Can half ass it now? Because they named it after me?
What are the symptoms of lou Gerrig's disease.
Speaker 1 (14:10):
Uh, muscle weakness okay, cramping yep, okay, stiffness hey, and
difficulties speaking or swallowing. My wife might have this.
Speaker 2 (14:22):
I want to check into that. Dump a bucket of
ice water on her head. It pix everything, dude.
Speaker 1 (14:27):
The ice Bucket Challenge is one of those things that
it they made. They raised so much money and I
don't know if they brought a ton of awareness to it,
but they raised so much money and people are like,
we did it, and they've made some advances.
Speaker 2 (14:45):
But THEEDS didn't find a cure.
Speaker 1 (14:47):
No. How much money do you think they raised doing
the ice bucket challenge?
Speaker 2 (14:51):
Whimsy?
Speaker 3 (14:52):
Ah? I think it was close to a billion dollars.
Speaker 2 (14:56):
I was going to say over a billion, like one
point two two and twenty million. That's a worldwide.
Speaker 1 (15:04):
And the ALS Association received one hundred and fifteen million.
But I want to know how many people did the
challenge and then never fucking paid it.
Speaker 2 (15:12):
Yeah, I'm sure a lot of them did a lot
of them did.
Speaker 1 (15:16):
I mean, I know you would challenge somebody online, but
I don't know anybody that paid.
Speaker 2 (15:23):
I don't know anybody.
Speaker 1 (15:25):
I don't even know if I know the concept, Like, so,
if I challenged you to do it, you and you
didn't do it, you'd have to pay. Is that how
it worked?
Speaker 3 (15:34):
I think? I think. So let's just.
Speaker 2 (15:36):
See what yo Google has to say. They'll be able
to tell us how that should worked, because I know
that you did it and somebody challenged you and then
you had to do it, and that's as far as
I got. Okay, here it is. Get a bucket, fill
it with ice, water, confetti or whatever. Be creative, take
a video, challenge friends and family, post it on social media,
(15:58):
make sure you tag them, and if you'd like, make
a donation if you would like.
Speaker 1 (16:03):
They gave you the option.
Speaker 2 (16:04):
Whatever it is, Like, I liked watching those videos, but
I know making a donation was never on my radar.
Speaker 1 (16:13):
No, did you ever make a donation during all that?
Speaker 3 (16:16):
Did?
Speaker 4 (16:17):
We donated twenty bucks, and our neighbors that we challenged,
they want up Dustin donated twenty five bucks.
Speaker 1 (16:25):
Not competition?
Speaker 3 (16:25):
Yeah, I know, I know. I was like, oh, they
made it a competition.
Speaker 1 (16:29):
I love that. I asked what the details were and
you couldn't remember, but you remember they did five dollars more.
Speaker 4 (16:34):
I just remember they were like they were like, oh,
because they did. They were like, oh, you donated twenty
we're going to donate twenty five.
Speaker 1 (16:41):
I've never done that with the donation. I've never been like,
well I got to do more than them, because I
always feel like when I donated, When was the last
time I donated money? Oh it was probably Christmas? Okay,
did a bunch of money to the community food bank.
This is outside school stuff? Oh yeah, because you constantly
donated every time I got around out. My kids go
(17:03):
to private school.
Speaker 2 (17:05):
How do you think they fund that shit?
Speaker 1 (17:06):
Man by my two wishes?
Speaker 2 (17:08):
Yeah, and their hands.
Speaker 1 (17:10):
They love to tell us that, hey, your twition doesn't
pay enough, And I'm like, didn't manage.
Speaker 2 (17:13):
The school better for real? Ask for more money? What
are you talking about? It doesn't cover maybe not pay
as much to you know, others, they don't pay that much.
Speaker 1 (17:23):
What they do what they do do well is they
give a lot of tuitions away so people that maybe
can't afford it, so their kids can go. So that's
from that.
Speaker 2 (17:33):
That's so nice. Yes, are they getting a different education
than they would in public school? Yes for sure. Okay,
class size alone, okay, my kids, how big is your kids? Class.
Speaker 4 (17:43):
Do you know I think their biggest class is twenty kids.
Speaker 1 (17:47):
Yeah, fifteen, Yeah, that's nice, and two teachers.
Speaker 2 (17:51):
And everywhere in the same classroom. Yeah. Well maybe if
they I don't know, whittled it down to just one
teacher in a classroom, you can save some money.
Speaker 1 (18:01):
Maybe you can buy those two classes real right, you
know what I learned. There's a thing I don't know
if they do it here, but some schools do photocopy parents,
copy your parents. Have you heard of this?
Speaker 2 (18:13):
Huh?
Speaker 1 (18:14):
Copy your parents and so you, as a parent go
up to the school and then teachers leave stuff that
needs to be photo copies. So they're not spending their
time making photo copies because it can take you know, five.
Speaker 2 (18:27):
Okay, so they're getting volunteered parents as volunteers to do
the fucking teachers work for them to.
Speaker 1 (18:31):
Do the photocopies. I don't know if it's doing the work.
It feels it's like a giant, giant generalization.
Speaker 4 (18:36):
But I'm just saying, yeah, I mean, I guess if
you are a PTA member, teachers would ask them to
do kind of stuff, stuff like that.
Speaker 2 (18:45):
I'm on photo copy duty this week.
Speaker 3 (18:47):
Yeah, basically that happens yeah.
Speaker 2 (18:50):
Yeah, really, people bitch about having to help out anyway
as it is.
Speaker 1 (18:55):
Well, this one over here complains about it, but she
signs up every year, all right.
Speaker 2 (18:59):
Why probably because she doesn't want to be that parent
that doesn't you know, well you didn't do anything this year, lindsay.
Speaker 1 (19:05):
Oh, I don't care. I don't care if they try
to put that scarlet letter on me.
Speaker 2 (19:09):
Go ahead.
Speaker 3 (19:10):
Actually not, I.
Speaker 4 (19:11):
Am not a PTA member anymore.
Speaker 2 (19:15):
This first past school year is because of the foreigner.
Speaker 1 (19:20):
You know, you know you weren't complaining about me plaining
about stuff in the fall.
Speaker 3 (19:23):
No, no, no, I'm hu. I'm not a PTA.
Speaker 4 (19:27):
I'm not on the PTA, but I am on the
Booster Club and I still do football stuff, and so.
Speaker 1 (19:33):
You got still same punishment, different name exactly. Yeah, that's
almost worse.
Speaker 3 (19:40):
It is a lot more responsibility.
Speaker 2 (19:42):
Yes, that's just imagine of all the time you'd have
for activities if you didn't have to worry about that.
Speaker 3 (19:48):
I know.
Speaker 1 (19:48):
I always tell my kids when you say yes to
something else, you're saying no to a different thing, that's right.
So when you say yes to pt R, to Booster PTA,
that means you're saying no to something else.
Speaker 2 (20:00):
Spending quality time with your children. Sorry, I can't.
Speaker 4 (20:02):
No, it's quality time with my child and everyone.
Speaker 2 (20:05):
Else's well, one child, one of your favorite. I don't
see you doing the booster club for the twins.
Speaker 1 (20:14):
In a sport.
Speaker 2 (20:18):
I thought they were lacrosse. What happened?
Speaker 4 (20:21):
He quit lacrosse one day? The ones in music and
I love that, we love that.
Speaker 1 (20:30):
It makes her so uncomfortable. When we say so uncomfortable.
Speaker 3 (20:34):
It's mean.
Speaker 4 (20:36):
Mean.
Speaker 2 (20:36):
We're not the one saying fucking Marcus on the air, right,
or posting pictures of just you and him. I don't
see you post a lot of pictures of you and
the twins on social media.
Speaker 1 (20:45):
They don't have games, doesn't matter, they don't.
Speaker 2 (20:48):
Saturday would be fine and you were out at the
park or hey, you know, just woke up.
Speaker 1 (20:53):
Twins are hungry.
Speaker 2 (20:54):
No, here's me and Marcus, Sharon an omelet or what
the fuck ever. It's okay to have your favorite everybody.
Speaker 3 (21:03):
I don't have a favorite. Well, sometimes I do, some
days I do.
Speaker 1 (21:07):
Yeah, she's so I'll tell my kids that.
Speaker 3 (21:10):
I will tell my kids.
Speaker 1 (21:11):
She's stress eating now. She's eating that fucking mister goodbar
because nobody wanted it. But now she's stress eating.
Speaker 3 (21:19):
Yeah, assholes.
Speaker 2 (21:22):
Exactly perfect spot to end. You guys have a fantastic week.
Speaker 3 (21:27):
See U.
So we love TV, we love movies. We were kind
of it's a low hanging fruit for us.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
Yeah, easy to talk about.
Speaker 1 (00:08):
These are TV shows that were based on true stories.
Speaker 2 (00:13):
Quantum Leap, No, damn It, The Walking Dead, right, Malcolm
in the Middle, That was my life.
Speaker 1 (00:24):
That's based off a book. If I remember correctly, I
didn't know that Boardwalk Empire.
Speaker 2 (00:29):
Okay, it had a lot of true life characters in there,
like Lucky Luciano had a part in there as well.
Al Capone was a character in that as well, but
like the main character that, like Steve Bushimi played, was
not actual person in real life, but it was just
loosely based on somebody like that. I love that show. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (00:53):
The book is called Boardwalk Empire, The Birth and High
Times and Corruption of Atlantic City. It's based off of
a character named Enoch L. Johnson whose name was changed
to Nuckie for the TV show. And it's a great show.
I acknowledge it's a good show. I couldn't get into.
Speaker 2 (01:10):
It really, Yeah, is it just the gangster thing that
did it or what?
Speaker 3 (01:13):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (01:14):
It was just a little too and this is gonna
sound silly because of what it was performative.
Speaker 2 (01:20):
Yes, Okay, I felt a little too over the top. Okay,
I first time I ever got exposed to it. I
had just got home from working the clubs. It was
like two thirty in the morning and it was on,
and of course you got to wind down when you
go home and work. So I sat down and watched
one episode of that and said, what the fuck is this?
I'm in Yeah, and then I went back and rewatched
(01:41):
every episode and then like kept up with it after that.
Speaker 1 (01:45):
And Deadwood's the same for me. It's a little too performative.
Speaker 2 (01:48):
I've never seen dead Wood.
Speaker 1 (01:49):
I never got I think you would love that is
a Western yes, okay, yeah, another one Friday Night Lights.
I think most people that grew up in our time
would know that that is a real story based off
small Town, Texas, Midland Odessa, Baby Reindeer. If you haven't
seen this show on Netflix, it's a pretty good TV
(02:12):
show about a guy who's a comedian who has a
woman stalk him, and it is a real story, so real.
In fact, the real woman that stalked him suit him
for making her look bad. Pretty good glow. If you've
never seen this show, I believe it's on Amazon Prime
and it glow stands for something, do you know?
Speaker 2 (02:32):
I do? It's The Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling. Yes, grew
up watching that stuff Netflix.
Speaker 1 (02:38):
My mistake. Netflix.
Speaker 2 (02:39):
Yeah, Alison Brie shows her boobies in it. Absolutely, Mark
tits Oh my god, you can't beat them.
Speaker 1 (02:46):
Yeah, it is. It is a great fun look at
something that I grew up watching. Oh yeah, thinking it
was so cool and it wasn't great.
Speaker 2 (02:55):
No, it wasn't. But you're watching women wrestle.
Speaker 1 (02:58):
Yeah, it's a wire. If you've ever seen The Wire,
it's a great show on HBO, like when they were
first starting out. Idris Elba is in it, Michael B.
Jordan is in it, and the guy who wrote it,
David Simon, was a police reporter and Ed Burns, who
helped write it, was a former homicide detective and they
(03:20):
use storylines from events that happened when he worked in
the police world.
Speaker 2 (03:24):
I don't think I've ever watched this series.
Speaker 1 (03:25):
Oh my gosh, it's so good, dude, Okay, it's so good.
Medium If you know this show. Patricia Arkett is in it.
It was on NBC and I think he actually moved
to another network after I think a while. Okay, and
she's a woman who uses their psychic abilities to help
police solve crimes. And it is based off of multiple
(03:45):
characters that do this.
Speaker 2 (03:48):
Yeah, I remember when that was out. It not my bag,
so never watched it.
Speaker 1 (03:52):
Another show that is based off a true story that
is actually getting ready to start up again is Zach
Braff Scrubs. Yeah, that's based off of real stuff. Apparently.
Speaker 2 (04:04):
The creator, Bill Lawrence said it's based on his college
friends experience in medical school that he witnessed the tullet
took on everyone and made a comedy out of it.
How zany?
Speaker 1 (04:17):
Yeah, Yeah, I like Zach Braff's writing. I like the
movies he directs. I do not like him as an actor.
Speaker 2 (04:26):
Okay, I think the only thing I've ever seen him
in is Scrubs. And the show was all right, The
original was all right. I didn't get into it. I
didn't watch it. When it's current, there's reruns on and
nothing else I might get down.
Speaker 1 (04:39):
Garden State is something. If you've seen that movie with
Natalie Portman, that is a pretty good one. I think
he's also written a couple of other comedy movies, if
I might remember correctly. I can't remember all of them,
but he does a lot of directing and TV stuff.
(05:00):
I think he did some BoJack Horseman stuff too. But yeah,
The Americans fantastic TV show on USA, if I remember,
I think it's on Netflix now and it has Carrie
Russell and Matthew rise Rays and they play Americans who
are actual Russians who are spies in America.
Speaker 2 (05:23):
Okay, I remember you talking about that.
Speaker 1 (05:25):
It's such a good, good show and that Michael Riat
Matthew Rias Rays Rias. He is a fantastic actor. And
he's in a new one with uh what's her name
with the She's always crying Claire Danes. Yeah, I love that.
I did that you knew exactly last time about and
(05:47):
uh he's a psycho killer in that. It's fantastic. Yeah.
But what's funny is he he seems so serious but
when he does interviews he's British, like what is happening?
Speaker 2 (06:00):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (06:00):
But Americans is of the movies, the shows we've reckoned
we've heard so far, uh, the Wire and Americans I
would recommend over the top, Like you must watch that Scandal,
which is a great show. I think you love that
show Scandal. Yeah? Is that I am I confusing. I
think Kerry Washington.
Speaker 3 (06:19):
Yeah, I didn't watch Scandal.
Speaker 1 (06:21):
She's a DC fixer, yeah. And it is based on
Judy Smith, who's a Washington fixer who posted in the
White House under h W And she works with high
profile client clients Monica Lewinsky, Michael Vick. And she was
a real person who did what this person did in
(06:43):
the show.
Speaker 4 (06:43):
Is that a who writes that one shot? Uh rhymes?
Speaker 2 (06:49):
I think line no Vin Busta and bust Vin, Ben Diesel,
Ben Raims, Ben Raims. Oh, we have the meats.
Speaker 1 (07:01):
Orange is the New Black. Everyone that show came out.
Everybody's like, it's so good. And the first season was
pretty good.
Speaker 4 (07:07):
Second season two, after that it took a giant dump.
Speaker 1 (07:13):
It became performative after that. But it is based off
a memoir by the main character that Taylor Shilling plays,
Piper Kerman and Tokyovice. If you've never seen Tokyovice Sunshine
from Varsity Blues, Remember Sunshine? Oh no, remember the Titans.
(07:34):
Sunshine he plays I think it's him. He plays a
kid in Japan and Tokyovice is about a book. It
covers a book about the Japanese mafia and his involvement
with the Japanese mafia.
Speaker 4 (07:49):
I think Sunshine was played by Ryan Gosling, No no.
Speaker 2 (07:57):
And little El gort Ken what.
Speaker 1 (08:03):
Ronnie Bass played by Kip Purdue and remember the Titans
and Gosling was in it but he played Alan.
Speaker 3 (08:14):
Oh a, mom, I made it.
Speaker 1 (08:17):
I'm want to be in a movie with Denzel Washington. Amazing.
What's your character name? Alan Allen? Yeah, I might hear
the name Alan.
Speaker 2 (08:26):
I think a Pamela Pumpkin.
Speaker 3 (08:28):
Yeah, that's hilarious. This is Alan.
Speaker 2 (08:34):
What time I was at the bar. This is Reeson's
like last Halloween and they had a pumpkin decorating contests
up there, right, and uh, I was just grab some
paint and paint on there or whatever do it. And
I so wanted and I didn't. I should have, But
I just want to go up through with the paint
brush and say, hi, my name is Pamela with an
arrow pointing next to it. This is Alan.
Speaker 3 (08:55):
You should.
Speaker 2 (08:58):
Yeah. I just kept on drinking.
Speaker 1 (08:59):
Though we mentioned Boardwalk Empire, and then we mentioned Deadwood.
Deadwood also is a real based off a true story.
David Millok, the guy who rate it, did the show,
did research on the town's history and the show's producer.
They even hired researchers to use real events and memoirs
(09:23):
that happened in that area. People love it Blackbird. If
you know this show, it is on Apple TV, and
it might be one of the reasons I would argue
someone should get Apple TV or at least get it
for a weekend for free. And tarn Egerton is a
great actor.
Speaker 2 (09:42):
He is in it.
Speaker 1 (09:43):
He plays Jimmy, who's this you know, Wolf of wall
Street type of character who gets busted and goes to
prison and to get a deal, they want him to
talk to Larry, who is played by Paul Walter Houser,
who's a great act or he played the fat person
in it. Tanya, Okay, oh yeah, he is good. He's
(10:05):
a great actor. And he plays a troubled mind person
who uh they believe has kidnapped and killed a bunch
of kids. And there they want Jimmy to befriend him
and try to get the information. And at any moment.
Speaker 2 (10:20):
The Larry, the Paul uh Walter Houser guy, might kill him,
like he could go crazy at any moment.
Speaker 1 (10:26):
He's he's a real mess. And it's a six part
series and Jimmy has to get he's doing this to
get out of prisoner early and he has to do
it okay, and it's it's a it's really good. It's again.
It's probably one of those shows that I would totally
encourage someone to get Apple TV for. Along with Shrinking Shrinking,
(10:47):
Ted is a great show. I think Apple TV might
be one of the better. Even though they have a
ton of content, the content they do have is solid.
They have a kids a couple of kids shows that
are really good.
Speaker 2 (10:59):
We watch Still Water, which is about uh, it's about
these kids who live next door to a panda and
the panda teaches them. I know, I know, it's a
kids show. What do you fucking want from me? And
the kids like have struggles in life like kids do,
(11:20):
but then the panda teaches them like things you never
see the parents. It's weird.
Speaker 1 (11:25):
The panda has a house.
Speaker 2 (11:26):
The panda's raising these strange human kids.
Speaker 1 (11:28):
Yeah, and this panda is massive, like he's super big.
Speaker 3 (11:32):
Sing a song?
Speaker 1 (11:33):
Nope, I've never heard him sing.
Speaker 2 (11:35):
Does he practice karate in any way?
Speaker 1 (11:37):
Tai Chi fair enough, it's basic apparently based off a
Japanese story or something, but it's it's really good short
fifteen minute episodes. Look at He Split. There's a couple
other really good kid shows that are on there about
like one kid who can change characters, Like if he
(11:57):
touches somebody, he can be that person.
Speaker 2 (12:00):
That'd be a cool shit it's hard to have.
Speaker 1 (12:01):
Yeah, it's pretty cool. And he's help been trying to
solve a crime. Another one where these kids are trying
to they solve murders or sorry, mysteries every week and
using books. Okay, and the people kids from the characters
from the books become alive and they've got to try
and hide them and then also get them back into
(12:21):
the book. Yeah. Again, I think Apple TV The Morning Show.
There are plenty of good shows on Apple TV that
I would be like, I don't think you can go
wrong with it. And I know, gimp be your giant
MLS fan, so you definitely get to watch some MLS.
Speaker 2 (12:39):
Like for the the the ice Bucket Challenge. No, no,
that's als.
Speaker 1 (12:46):
MLS. What do you think it is? Apparently we didn't
do no fucking ice bucket challenges Because if you.
Speaker 2 (12:54):
Just would have done you I'm talking to you, if
you would have done it, you've got challenge. You put
see right and putting ice water in my head? Fuck
that I'm major League soccer right, Yes, that's what?
Speaker 1 (13:05):
Yes, good job. What does ALS stand for Lou Gary's disease.
Speaker 2 (13:11):
A l S.
Speaker 3 (13:13):
Yeah, the short version is lou Garriggs disease.
Speaker 1 (13:16):
But ALS does not stand for Lou Garrigg's disease.
Speaker 3 (13:19):
It's something I probably can't pronounce.
Speaker 2 (13:23):
And berg Legioneers syndrome, No, damn it. I would have
known it either amy or trophic lateral sclerosis.
Speaker 1 (13:33):
I was close or fucking Lou Garrig's disease.
Speaker 2 (13:37):
Orluke Gary up there with lou Gegg's disease. There's some
great stuff about Lou Garrig and when he got sick,
and how he wouldn't accept that he was sick right,
and that even when he was sick and uh, he
would show up to play baseball way earlier than everyone
else who wasn't fucking sick with Lou with his own disease.
(13:59):
I guess if you're like, if you have it, you're like, well,
it's named after me. I got a fucking show up.
Can half ass it now? Because they named it after me?
What are the symptoms of lou Gerrig's disease.
Speaker 1 (14:10):
Uh, muscle weakness okay, cramping yep, okay, stiffness hey, and
difficulties speaking or swallowing. My wife might have this.
Speaker 2 (14:22):
I want to check into that. Dump a bucket of
ice water on her head. It pix everything, dude.
Speaker 1 (14:27):
The ice Bucket Challenge is one of those things that
it they made. They raised so much money and I
don't know if they brought a ton of awareness to it,
but they raised so much money and people are like,
we did it, and they've made some advances.
Speaker 2 (14:45):
But THEEDS didn't find a cure.
Speaker 1 (14:47):
No. How much money do you think they raised doing
the ice bucket challenge?
Speaker 2 (14:51):
Whimsy?
Speaker 3 (14:52):
Ah? I think it was close to a billion dollars.
Speaker 2 (14:56):
I was going to say over a billion, like one
point two two and twenty million. That's a worldwide.
Speaker 1 (15:04):
And the ALS Association received one hundred and fifteen million.
But I want to know how many people did the
challenge and then never fucking paid it.
Speaker 2 (15:12):
Yeah, I'm sure a lot of them did a lot
of them did.
Speaker 1 (15:16):
I mean, I know you would challenge somebody online, but
I don't know anybody that paid.
Speaker 2 (15:23):
I don't know anybody.
Speaker 1 (15:25):
I don't even know if I know the concept, Like, so,
if I challenged you to do it, you and you
didn't do it, you'd have to pay. Is that how
it worked?
Speaker 3 (15:34):
I think? I think. So let's just.
Speaker 2 (15:36):
See what yo Google has to say. They'll be able
to tell us how that should worked, because I know
that you did it and somebody challenged you and then
you had to do it, and that's as far as
I got. Okay, here it is. Get a bucket, fill
it with ice, water, confetti or whatever. Be creative, take
a video, challenge friends and family, post it on social media,
(15:58):
make sure you tag them, and if you'd like, make
a donation if you would like.
Speaker 1 (16:03):
They gave you the option.
Speaker 2 (16:04):
Whatever it is, Like, I liked watching those videos, but
I know making a donation was never on my radar.
Speaker 1 (16:13):
No, did you ever make a donation during all that?
Speaker 3 (16:16):
Did?
Speaker 4 (16:17):
We donated twenty bucks, and our neighbors that we challenged,
they want up Dustin donated twenty five bucks.
Speaker 1 (16:25):
Not competition?
Speaker 3 (16:25):
Yeah, I know, I know. I was like, oh, they
made it a competition.
Speaker 1 (16:29):
I love that. I asked what the details were and
you couldn't remember, but you remember they did five dollars more.
Speaker 4 (16:34):
I just remember they were like they were like, oh,
because they did. They were like, oh, you donated twenty
we're going to donate twenty five.
Speaker 1 (16:41):
I've never done that with the donation. I've never been like,
well I got to do more than them, because I
always feel like when I donated, When was the last
time I donated money? Oh it was probably Christmas? Okay,
did a bunch of money to the community food bank.
This is outside school stuff? Oh yeah, because you constantly
donated every time I got around out. My kids go
(17:03):
to private school.
Speaker 2 (17:05):
How do you think they fund that shit?
Speaker 1 (17:06):
Man by my two wishes?
Speaker 2 (17:08):
Yeah, and their hands.
Speaker 1 (17:10):
They love to tell us that, hey, your twition doesn't
pay enough, And I'm like, didn't manage.
Speaker 2 (17:13):
The school better for real? Ask for more money? What
are you talking about? It doesn't cover maybe not pay
as much to you know, others, they don't pay that much.
Speaker 1 (17:23):
What they do what they do do well is they
give a lot of tuitions away so people that maybe
can't afford it, so their kids can go. So that's
from that.
Speaker 2 (17:33):
That's so nice. Yes, are they getting a different education
than they would in public school? Yes for sure. Okay,
class size alone, okay, my kids, how big is your kids? Class.
Speaker 4 (17:43):
Do you know I think their biggest class is twenty kids.
Speaker 1 (17:47):
Yeah, fifteen, Yeah, that's nice, and two teachers.
Speaker 2 (17:51):
And everywhere in the same classroom. Yeah. Well maybe if
they I don't know, whittled it down to just one
teacher in a classroom, you can save some money.
Speaker 1 (18:01):
Maybe you can buy those two classes real right, you
know what I learned. There's a thing I don't know
if they do it here, but some schools do photocopy parents,
copy your parents. Have you heard of this?
Speaker 2 (18:13):
Huh?
Speaker 1 (18:14):
Copy your parents and so you, as a parent go
up to the school and then teachers leave stuff that
needs to be photo copies. So they're not spending their
time making photo copies because it can take you know, five.
Speaker 2 (18:27):
Okay, so they're getting volunteered parents as volunteers to do
the fucking teachers work for them to.
Speaker 1 (18:31):
Do the photocopies. I don't know if it's doing the work.
It feels it's like a giant, giant generalization.
Speaker 4 (18:36):
But I'm just saying, yeah, I mean, I guess if
you are a PTA member, teachers would ask them to
do kind of stuff, stuff like that.
Speaker 2 (18:45):
I'm on photo copy duty this week.
Speaker 3 (18:47):
Yeah, basically that happens yeah.
Speaker 2 (18:50):
Yeah, really, people bitch about having to help out anyway
as it is.
Speaker 1 (18:55):
Well, this one over here complains about it, but she
signs up every year, all right.
Speaker 2 (18:59):
Why probably because she doesn't want to be that parent
that doesn't you know, well you didn't do anything this year, lindsay.
Speaker 1 (19:05):
Oh, I don't care. I don't care if they try
to put that scarlet letter on me.
Speaker 2 (19:09):
Go ahead.
Speaker 3 (19:10):
Actually not, I.
Speaker 4 (19:11):
Am not a PTA member anymore.
Speaker 2 (19:15):
This first past school year is because of the foreigner.
Speaker 1 (19:20):
You know, you know you weren't complaining about me plaining
about stuff in the fall.
Speaker 3 (19:23):
No, no, no, I'm hu. I'm not a PTA.
Speaker 4 (19:27):
I'm not on the PTA, but I am on the
Booster Club and I still do football stuff, and so.
Speaker 1 (19:33):
You got still same punishment, different name exactly. Yeah, that's
almost worse.
Speaker 3 (19:40):
It is a lot more responsibility.
Speaker 2 (19:42):
Yes, that's just imagine of all the time you'd have
for activities if you didn't have to worry about that.
Speaker 3 (19:48):
I know.
Speaker 1 (19:48):
I always tell my kids when you say yes to
something else, you're saying no to a different thing, that's right.
So when you say yes to pt R, to Booster PTA,
that means you're saying no to something else.
Speaker 2 (20:00):
Spending quality time with your children. Sorry, I can't.
Speaker 4 (20:02):
No, it's quality time with my child and everyone.
Speaker 2 (20:05):
Else's well, one child, one of your favorite. I don't
see you doing the booster club for the twins.
Speaker 1 (20:14):
In a sport.
Speaker 2 (20:18):
I thought they were lacrosse. What happened?
Speaker 4 (20:21):
He quit lacrosse one day? The ones in music and
I love that, we love that.
Speaker 1 (20:30):
It makes her so uncomfortable. When we say so uncomfortable.
Speaker 3 (20:34):
It's mean.
Speaker 4 (20:36):
Mean.
Speaker 2 (20:36):
We're not the one saying fucking Marcus on the air, right,
or posting pictures of just you and him. I don't
see you post a lot of pictures of you and
the twins on social media.
Speaker 1 (20:45):
They don't have games, doesn't matter, they don't.
Speaker 2 (20:48):
Saturday would be fine and you were out at the
park or hey, you know, just woke up.
Speaker 1 (20:53):
Twins are hungry.
Speaker 2 (20:54):
No, here's me and Marcus, Sharon an omelet or what
the fuck ever. It's okay to have your favorite everybody.
Speaker 3 (21:03):
I don't have a favorite. Well, sometimes I do, some
days I do.
Speaker 1 (21:07):
Yeah, she's so I'll tell my kids that.
Speaker 3 (21:10):
I will tell my kids.
Speaker 1 (21:11):
She's stress eating now. She's eating that fucking mister goodbar
because nobody wanted it. But now she's stress eating.
Speaker 3 (21:19):
Yeah, assholes.
Speaker 2 (21:22):
Exactly perfect spot to end. You guys have a fantastic week.
Speaker 3 (21:27):
