Speaker 2 (00:16):
So I saw a post over the weekend about Charlie's
theren that I had no idea. I mean, I knew
she was a great actress, obviously a stunning person to
look at me, right, But I didn't know that her
mother is a murdered her husband.
Speaker 3 (00:38):
Really, right, I didn't know that either.
Speaker 2 (00:41):
Maybe a lot of people didn't didn't know that. But
her mother shot and killed her husband in nineteen ninety one.
Apparently her father was a drunk and violent and was
threatening both Charlie's and her mom, and so the mom
shot him and what was old self defense? Wow? Okay,
(01:02):
not charging a crime, right, And so that sent me
down a rabbit hole of celebrities that their parents were
murdered or are murderers. Okay, it's a lot. Do you
know anybody whose parents are murdered or murderers? Of course
you do?
Speaker 3 (01:19):
Okay, Yeah, kid, I went to high school with He
watched his dad on Christmas morning murder his mom and
then turned the gun on himself.
Speaker 1 (01:27):
That fucked up.
Speaker 2 (01:28):
Yeah, it is why.
Speaker 3 (01:31):
They were arguing. Dad was apparently crazy and he uh,
I hate when.
Speaker 2 (01:37):
We resort to that he was great. Of course, right,
person is going to go ahead and do it anyway,
but I'm just curious of what the reason was. What
causes somebody on Christmas morning of all right, Yeah.
Speaker 3 (01:48):
Him and his brothers and sisters were outside plane in
the snow. Okay, so not in front of her, No,
in front of him. Yeah, he and he heard his
parents arguing, and he came inside to check on them
and like say like, hey, guys, it's Christmas. And he
watched his dad shoot his mom.
Speaker 2 (02:05):
He came inside to say it was Christmas, like they didn't.
Speaker 3 (02:08):
You guys like stop arguing.
Speaker 2 (02:09):
O got it.
Speaker 3 (02:12):
Actually he was in sixth grade at the time.
Speaker 2 (02:15):
Yeah, all right, give me. I'm just gonna start up.
Speaker 4 (02:19):
Stop asking you because you've had a wild amount of experiences.
I I my brother's ex wife's mom killed her husband
and she served time for it.
Speaker 1 (02:33):
That's about as close as it gets for me.
Speaker 2 (02:35):
I don't know any nobody's sticking out in my brain
as somebody, but apparently celebrities that happens a lot. Jennifer Hudson,
her brother and nephew were murdered in two thousand and
eight by her sister's husband. Yeah, okay, if you don't
know about this one, it is a fantastic story. Woody Harrelson.
Woody Harrelson's father was a contract killer murdered a federal judge.
(02:58):
Oh yeah, that's a good one. Fifty. His mom died
when he was eight. Officially was a fire, but some
belief she was murdered due to her involvement in drug activity.
Dylan McDermott. If you don't know who this is, he's
considered like one of the hot sexy male actors.
Speaker 1 (03:16):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (03:16):
His mother, Dian mc dermott, was shot and killed when
he was a child. It was ruled a homicide years
later that was by a family member or I don't know. No,
it's either your parents were murdered or you parents were murderers.
Speaker 1 (03:29):
Okay, Okay.
Speaker 2 (03:32):
Jack Nicholson, his biological father, is believed to have had
a history of violence and was involved in the murder.
Involved in a murder. The whole family story is messy.
He didn't even know his real parents were until he
was an adult. Okay, so that's kind of a pastor. Yeah,
Woking Phoenix. I don't know this story about making Phoenix,
(03:53):
but apparently his parents were involved in the Children of
God cult, which was known for their abuse and violence.
Speaker 1 (04:00):
Mmm, and his brother River was a sacrifice.
Speaker 2 (04:04):
I guess if it's a sacrifice if you shoot yourself
up with drugs outside a club and die, right.
Speaker 1 (04:09):
I mean, and that's what they want you to believe.
Speaker 3 (04:11):
Was River older or younger than old?
Speaker 1 (04:14):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (04:14):
He was old. Drew Barrymore, her father died. Her grandfather
had a history of violent behavior, including assaults Oprah Winfrey,
her cousin was killed, killed her own child. We did
the Jennifer Hudson one, Dyan McDermott fifty cent, We did
that one. Eminem. Okay, they had a violent upbringing. I'm
(04:39):
shocked how many people it does.
Speaker 4 (04:43):
This more popular than your thought. Murder more popular than
you thought.
Speaker 2 (04:47):
Yeah, I of course have said things like I'm going
to kill that person, right, but never really meant it
right now.
Speaker 4 (04:57):
Following following est different, Yeah.
Speaker 2 (05:01):
To make a statement out loud, I just don't get
there where it means it's real. Now, if I say
I'm going to kill you and then I get a
gun and walk towards you, I feel like you should
think my threat was pretty real, oh for sure. Or
if I say I'm gonna kill you and then I
show up your house at midnight, you should think my
threat's pretty real. Yeah, but if I just say it,
(05:23):
you know, because you're kicking my ass a monopoly.
Speaker 4 (05:28):
And then you show up after midnight. Yeah, yeah, man,
that's yeah. I don't I don't get how people get there,
but everybody's wired differently.
Speaker 2 (05:37):
Well, I it's vengeance, right. You get there because you
think you've been wronged and you are gonna set the
pendulum straight right of the wronging.
Speaker 1 (05:48):
Yeah. But it didn't work like that though.
Speaker 4 (05:50):
No.
Speaker 2 (05:50):
You know, it's kind of like the guy who killed
all those people, was it on the East Coast? He'd
been killing people, he had like a torture thing in
his basement. He's decided to come forward and been like, hey,
I'm I'm guilty. I don't want to put the families
through all that, okay, And you're like, so it's a
plea deal now right now he's got he's getting a
lesser charge, and he's like, well, I just don't want
(06:10):
to put all the families through that.
Speaker 3 (06:12):
Huh, you already did.
Speaker 2 (06:14):
Man, you're robbing them again of their justice. Yes? Do
they want to hear all that again?
Speaker 1 (06:20):
No?
Speaker 4 (06:20):
But do they want to see you look really bad?
Do they want to see you essentially quote unquote get
you know hung Yes, yes, kind of justice yeah, yeah,
they want you embarrassed, all the details to come out
in court about what you did, and you again are
taking something from them, and he's going to get a
(06:42):
plea deal instead of us more severe punishment. But I
mean he could get the jail house justice.
Speaker 2 (06:51):
Maybe not. Yeah, there's not that's not real justice. I
think that when you have somebody who's wronged you and
they go to jail, whether they kid or her spouse
or love them or whatever, and they go to jail
and they you know, plea out and then go to jail. Uh,
and then there's jail. Though you may be relieve that
they're gone, you didn't really get to see unless you
(07:11):
get to find out the details. Right. I don't know
if there's the same justice feeling.
Speaker 1 (07:16):
As if you saw them strapped to an electric chair.
Speaker 4 (07:20):
If you if if if Bob killed somebody because the
drywall business failed, and then you go to jail and
on your second day you get killed.
Speaker 2 (07:28):
I feel like you got out, you got a deal, right,
you didn't get punished, right, are you dead? Sure?
Speaker 1 (07:35):
Right? But there's no sitting there serving your time.
Speaker 4 (07:37):
Reflection, punishment, the sister's visiting you day after day, pineapple
sideways up your ass like there's.
Speaker 2 (07:43):
None of that.
Speaker 1 (07:43):
Yeah yeah, yeah, I guess you're right.
Speaker 2 (07:46):
So it's like, ah again robbed, but for there to
be celebrities, So that, yeah, caught me off.
Speaker 4 (07:54):
Where if they use that, like channel that kind of
trauma into their theirs their craft, you know what I mean?
Speaker 2 (08:04):
I don't know. I think that people that are good
at acting just know how to make you like them. Okay,
So what I mean by that is, I don't think
that they're like I don't I'm not trying to diminister
take away from it. They just we think of it
like I'm believing to be someone else. I think there's
(08:26):
a little bit of them going, I want you to
like me, right, and so to make you like me,
I'm gonna be like, you're so awesome, right, this is
so great. Well yeah, but it's about getting you to
believe that they're that person, right.
Speaker 4 (08:42):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (08:42):
But you can hate some of the best actors in
some of the roles that they play when they're like
the nastiest villain and you see them in that role
and you can't like them and anything else because they
played that role so well. Yeah, and that's all you
see them as.
Speaker 2 (08:56):
Yeah, I mean like is not like fond, you know,
have an affection for like is you you? That can
be a negative way too, but you're right, that can
be somebody being dark and sinister.
Speaker 5 (09:09):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (09:10):
I would love to be an actor and be dark
and sinister. Okay, I feel like that would be a
great outlet.
Speaker 1 (09:15):
Okay, just let all that anger out.
Speaker 2 (09:18):
Yeah, think about it, like someone cuts you off at
work or on the way to work or whatever. You
you take that, you put it in a little box
and shove it way back, right, or you let it
go or whatever. But if you could take that, put
a little box on the shelf easily accessible for when
it's time to hear action. Right, that's some real energy, man.
Speaker 1 (09:38):
And that kind of what you can use your hikarate for.
Speaker 5 (09:41):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (09:42):
I guess. But but if I'm acting, I can kind
of be blind, right, I don't have to have guardrails.
Speaker 1 (09:50):
Yeah, I guess with that, but there's still some kind
of restraint.
Speaker 2 (09:53):
But in my the jiu jitsu, I don't really want
to hurt this individual, right, I know there's going to
be a stop.
Speaker 1 (10:02):
Right, that's what I'm talking about.
Speaker 4 (10:03):
It there's still some kind of you know, limited limitation
there because you you would kill them.
Speaker 1 (10:09):
I'm not saying you would, but you know what I mean.
Speaker 4 (10:11):
Yeah, there's the chances of going overboard just because somebody
pissed you off is pretty high.
Speaker 2 (10:17):
Right, right, But in an acting scenario, right, there's you know,
you know the scene ends, you hear.
Speaker 4 (10:24):
Cut, right right right right right, you go until you
hear cut if I go, unless you're Alec Baldwin, and.
Speaker 1 (10:31):
Yeah, yeah, they don't until they go bang.
Speaker 2 (10:34):
The Alec Baldwin case is actually really fascinating. Yes, you
can put it on a basic level, if he was
handled a gun blanks or not, he should have treated
it that way. You could definitely have that argument, and
you would be fully in your full rights to have that.
But also to be you have to let other people
do their job and you have to believe they're doing
their job. Yeah, And sometimes being an actor is to
(10:56):
surprise people of elements. And if he would surprising to
get the reaction to see, right, if he wasn't supposed
to fire it and whatever, it's not like he was
flinging it around like he's you know, right, while Bill
Hitchcock right right, spinning around and it fired like he
was trying to imitate a scene. So I'm not trying
(11:19):
to give him a pass. I think what he did
has been pretty shitty, and I think the way he's
handled it's been pretty shitty. But ultimately I don't feel
like it's I don't know. I just don't think it's
as clear cut as he was being menacing, right.
Speaker 1 (11:31):
I don't think he did it on purpose.
Speaker 3 (11:34):
Was it the same type of situation when it happened
with Brandon Lee? Okay when they were filming The Crow
because he was killed by a gun?
Speaker 2 (11:46):
I mean it was the scene was it supposed to be?
It was blanks? He was killed by a blank. Oh yeah,
you're talking about on the Crow, right, Yeah? Yet believe
the original movie? Okay, yeah, yeah, people make this mistake.
Blanks are ammunition. Yeah, they still have an explosion. There's
(12:09):
still a chance for you to die.
Speaker 5 (12:14):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (12:16):
They used dummy rounds apparently, which is kind of the same.
It had a bullet tip, which is a projectile but
not like a bullet, right, So dummy round has the
projectile tip, blanks don't. But ultimately this is kind of
the same thing, and ultimately they're just like ammunition. When
it was fired, it pushed that lodged bullet out like
a real shot, went ten to fifteen feet into his abdomen.
(12:42):
He was rusting to surgery died several hours later. No
dedicated experienced firearms specialist on the set.
Speaker 4 (12:51):
Well it's a different time, man, you're Bruce Lee's kid.
Fucking move faster and they finished the movie. Yeah, and
they use body doubles and CGI. Yeah, god damn, ahead
of it's time. See, it doesn't matter who the fuck
you are, man like, Well, well fine, we'll just continue it.
Speaker 2 (13:08):
We'll just use CGI.
Speaker 4 (13:10):
I need some other light skinned Asian fellare with long
black hair will make it work.
Speaker 2 (13:15):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (13:16):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (13:18):
And I wonder how many people have died on set
by a by a firearm.
Speaker 1 (13:23):
By just a firearm.
Speaker 4 (13:26):
Well, there's two that we know of right there, which
feels like a high number already. Yeah, I think you
just just to die on set. I'm interested to see
that number.
Speaker 2 (13:38):
So we know about Brandon Lee John Eric Hexham in
a movie called The Cover Up in nineteen eighty four
that was a blank round at close range. He jokingly
put a prop gun to his head and pulled the trigger.
The blank discharge calls a skull fracture, which is the
gas pressure, and then a brain injury died las days later.
(14:01):
What a fucking dumbass.
Speaker 4 (14:04):
Just playing around. It's fine, it's fine. It's not fine, right,
look at me?
Speaker 2 (14:10):
Aren't I silly? Traumatizing everybody on the set? MythBusters twenty eleven.
A cannon misfired, traveled off range. Nobody died, but it
could have been fatal. Okay, Well that's that's a bunch
of bull. Yeah, that's called an accident. That's called an accident.
Speaker 4 (14:28):
Didn't Houdini dying from getting blasted in the gut with
the canniball.
Speaker 2 (14:32):
It was a trick he had done all the time,
and he had he always found the biggest guy in
the room to punch him in the abdomen.
Speaker 1 (14:38):
Yeah, that's what it is.
Speaker 2 (14:39):
And if I remember correctly, the guy went before he
said go, and so he was caught off guard. And
the whole trick is, you know, tightening your abdomen right right.
Speaker 1 (14:50):
Shift your guts around a little bit.
Speaker 2 (14:51):
Yeah, but it's yeah, go around. He was like four
to three or some ridiculous height too.
Speaker 3 (15:00):
Yeah, ruptured As Appendix when he got hit.
Speaker 2 (15:02):
Nah, yeah, did you just look that up? Yeah? Okay,
I was like, how the fuck did you know that?
Speaker 5 (15:09):
Uh?
Speaker 2 (15:11):
And was he wasn't set like yeah, it caught him
off guarden.
Speaker 3 (15:14):
It was triggered by the unexpected hard punch to his
abdomen delivered by a student.
Speaker 1 (15:20):
Hey.
Speaker 3 (15:21):
Uhs, and he refused to seek medical attention.
Speaker 2 (15:26):
No, no, it messes up the goddamn trick, right. Uh
So it was a kid, yeah, a student. Yeah, well,
I'm a student of his craft. He's five to five. Okay,
my mistake.
Speaker 4 (15:39):
Okay, So he's like teaching down at the local community center.
Speaker 1 (15:43):
You know.
Speaker 4 (15:44):
It's like, I've got a trick for you guys. Somebody
you you Dommy, come over here, punch me in the
fucking gut.
Speaker 1 (15:51):
Okay. Well, I don't know, mister hood eating. I don't
know if I can do this.
Speaker 2 (15:57):
I am hey, so, can you do any tricked for us?
Speaker 3 (16:01):
Well?
Speaker 2 (16:01):
I didn't bring any of my prompts, but go ahead
and fucking give me a lick right in the goddamn belly.
Speaker 4 (16:06):
Hit me as hard as you can. I'm just trying
to entertain, man, it's all ah.
Speaker 2 (16:13):
We hit him multiple times. Well, then that's just whooping
his ass.
Speaker 4 (16:17):
He whooped his ass so you can take a punch.
Speaker 1 (16:20):
Uh, changes there free things.
Speaker 2 (16:23):
Yes, yes, I've heard differently.
Speaker 4 (16:26):
I thought it was a because you see those old videos,
old movies, you know, where the fat guy gets shot
in the belly with the fucking cannon rying the cannonball
and of all his flat Yeah, I thought that's what
it was. No, that's what it was. But no, I
guess he just the same principle. Yeah, he just took
a punch.
Speaker 2 (16:44):
Yeah, he was thirty one when he did this. When
he was a student out of the university. At that time,
he was one of the older students trying to impress
the fucking young kids. Yeah, you fucking geriatric go back
to school. Did he get in trouble the the guy
who punching You think at least manslaughter?
Speaker 4 (17:05):
I mean he.
Speaker 2 (17:06):
Hasked to be punched. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (17:07):
True, that's why it's manslaughter and not homicide.
Speaker 3 (17:10):
And he didn't go to the doctor.
Speaker 4 (17:12):
He didn't seek no treatment, right, he seek Yeah, but
to be fair, they just would have done blood letting collapse.
Speaker 3 (17:18):
After a show in Detroit, he was taking to Grace Hospital.
He underwent surgery, but he died because of the infection
and inflammation of the abdominal lining, so they they caused
They called his official cause of death a penicidis.
Speaker 2 (17:34):
He fucking moved out of the country. No the guy, Yeah,
I punched him, killed America's favorite magician. Yeah, of course
we're gonna hungary him magician. But yeah, yeah, the fact
of it is, yeah, he was ridiculed and made fun of.
He went, he became reclusive and then moved to Canada.
Speaker 4 (17:53):
Hmm.
Speaker 2 (17:56):
So you're the child of this person, right, at what
point do you tell the person you're dating, like, WHOA,
my name sounds very familiar, right, Why, I don't know?
Speaker 4 (18:08):
I just Garfield? Garfield? Who is your dad? Gordon Jay
Gordon Whitefield?
Speaker 1 (18:18):
Yeah, the killer.
Speaker 2 (18:21):
Who deny did who? Did he ever have any kids?
Speaker 1 (18:26):
Uh?
Speaker 2 (18:28):
Yes, yes, because for a while his daughter would hold
the seance.
Speaker 1 (18:32):
Uh huh to try to bring him back.
Speaker 2 (18:34):
Because he's like because he'd never believed in any of
that shit. That's why he was like he was his
whole thing was to take out the other tricksters out there, okay,
because his belief was those people are making you believe
that they can do something sinister. Where I'm just entertaining.
I'm you. Shouldn't you know I'm entertaining you. It should
be clear. These other people are trying to act like
(18:54):
they've got a superpower. And he said, if if when
I die, for whenever I die, I will talk to
you on Halloween from the other side. And it's never
happened ever. Check into that made plans and all that.
Speaker 3 (19:08):
Surely said that they didn't have kids.
Speaker 2 (19:13):
Maybe maybe it was his wife. I forget. I thought
it was or his wife's sister or somebody did it.
Speaker 3 (19:18):
He had a wife, and it says that they Bess
was her name. Bess said that Harry's mother prayed that
Harry and his wife would have children, but they didn't
have any. Oh, she had a medical condition that prevented
her from conceiving.
Speaker 4 (19:33):
Oh well then yeah, she didn't get remarried and have kids.
Then yeah, it's because he had a magic cock. Not
getting you knocked up bitches.
Speaker 2 (19:48):
But I thought I thought he had a kid because
I felt like it was somebody connected to him always
held the seance. Probably just some Yeah, this says she
did it, and he died in nineteen twenty six. Uh,
And they had secret code that he would contact her
from beyond the Grave. She held it every year on
Halloween for ten years. In nineteen thirty six, she ended
(20:09):
it saying, essentially, ten years is long enough to wait
for any man.
Speaker 4 (20:15):
You like, Houdini had a brother and then he had kids. Right,
that's your that's your claim to fame right there. Right,
you're telling everybody, Whodini's my brother.
Speaker 2 (20:26):
I think everybody who has a famous brother, that's their
goddamn claim to thing. That's fair Clinton, okay, right, is
a great example. Julia Roberts, who's her Eric Roberts. He's
an actor and he's an okay actor, He's probably a
C level actor, Okay, ok right, But it was all
I mean, And he may have been whatever before.
Speaker 3 (20:46):
His daughter is bigger than her than him.
Speaker 2 (20:49):
And I don't remember. It's either Kieran or McCauley, one
of the I think Kieran was then the actor first, okay,
and then mcaulay came. I don't I don't remember how
it works, but everybody but one of them. Yeah, you
kind of like writing the you know, you're getting the
hand me down pajamas essentially.
Speaker 1 (21:04):
Yes, that's fair.
Speaker 2 (21:04):
Yeah, and why wouldn't you of course exactly it takes
an in, so why would you not take that? Jared
Leto's brother, right, right. The only reason there's thirty seconds
to Mars is because Jared Leto's a good actor, right,
And he was like, I want a brother to have something,
so we'll make a band. So make a band. And
he's a pretty great drummer. I would probably put him
(21:25):
in the top fifty of current drummers. Maybe top thirty
of current drummers. Okay, right, there's a great video of
him trying to do Chad Smith doing a Chili Pepper
song like he's hearing it without the drum and he
has to interpret the drum and try and figure it out.
Either he's just not good or Chad Smith's really goddamn
good because he misses it completely, which is way better
(21:49):
than I. And you play drums way more than I do,
probably better than you would.
Speaker 4 (21:52):
Do, oh yeah, for sure, because I don't have that
musical ability to like interpret, right right right?
Speaker 2 (21:57):
What's next in a note?
Speaker 1 (21:59):
Yeah? I think I'm good on that. I honest, sit
down in.
Speaker 2 (22:01):
Practice a little bit, but my kid's taking piano lessons
and she gets stuck on some notes. Sometimes. My wife
played piano my mother in law paid play piano. I
played the violin, and even that I probably couldn't help
you with. But she goes, can you help me with
da da? I'm like, well, I'll try, and so I'll
do it. I'm like, I think it's this ding ding
(22:23):
ding or whatever, right, and she's like, no, that's not it.
I'm like, okay, well, I don't know what you want
from me.
Speaker 1 (22:30):
I tried.
Speaker 2 (22:31):
Yeah, I give it my best. It's simped. She came
home with homework and they're doing long division, and so
I was like, no, that's not right. It's I started
doing long division. She's like, ew, what's that. I was like,
you asked me for help, right, She's like, that's not
how you do long division? Ah fuck? Yeah, okay, sure,
that's not how it's done. Don't send kids home with
(22:52):
homework and then leave me out on a goddamn island.
Speaker 4 (22:54):
Now, right, expecting you to know the shit the way
they teach things and nowadays, Yeah, I don't think there
should be homework at all period.
Speaker 2 (23:03):
I don't think it does any goddamn good.
Speaker 1 (23:04):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (23:05):
Yeah, probably right, but we did it, our parents did it,
their parents did it.
Speaker 1 (23:10):
Homework will be there.
Speaker 2 (23:12):
Yeah, well, get rid of goddamn indoor plumbing because you
know you had to go down to the fucking river
to get water. If you're going to do it, that
that that you know legacy thing. No wait, dude, uh.
But the to me, the idea of them having there's
a difference between like they give them time and they
didn't get it done and you've got to go home, rightactly,
that's fine, But to give them specific homework they must
do at home, it is fucking stupid.
Speaker 3 (23:32):
Yeah, I agree.
Speaker 1 (23:33):
I've always agreed with that.
Speaker 2 (23:34):
It does nothing except takeaway from kids being kids and
giving a chance to be outside. It gives stress. Yeah,
there's no reason a kid that's eight should be under
stressed to get homework done.
Speaker 1 (23:45):
Right, got a fucking ulcer?
Speaker 4 (23:47):
Yeah, sitting there at the dinner table with their box
of tombs, you know, trying to do long division.
Speaker 2 (23:52):
Right. I was talking to my wife. I was trying
to remember when did we start having spelling tests studying
at home? I don't remember doing that. Oh I remember,
I remember spelling tests. I remember spelling test. I don't
remember studying for them at home.
Speaker 4 (24:03):
Oh Jesus Christ, I remember it. Nineteen eighty eight eighty nine.
It was right before I moved out of California. And
I'll never forget my Aunt Kathy's sitting there, because, yeah,
my aunt, my dad, his sister had come out to
hang out with us for a little while and she
helped me study for the spelling test. And one word
(24:26):
I was struggling on neighbor neighbor, so she helped me
figure that out. And every every fucking time I have
to spell the word neighbor or neighborhood, I always think
of ant Kathy. So it's always been a thing for me. Yeah, again,
I remember struggling words. I just don't remember the I'm
(24:47):
not saying it didn't happen.
Speaker 2 (24:48):
I don't remember the age when I had to study
spelling words at home.
Speaker 1 (24:52):
You're blucked down.
Speaker 2 (24:53):
That's all my kids have ever done since. That was
like the first homework they ever had, like first grade, kindergarten,
first grade. Yeah, yeah, it's crazy.
Speaker 3 (25:00):
I think they start them too early for testing like that.
But yeah, I remember, I think I was in four
third or fourth grade with the spelling tests.
Speaker 2 (25:11):
I don't remember math homework got I hated man, not
until junior high. I remember having homework in junior high.
But again it was stuff that you didn't get done
in class.
Speaker 1 (25:20):
Right.
Speaker 3 (25:20):
That's how my sixth graders are. If they don't have
if they don't finish it in class, it's because they
ran out of time. That's the only reason why they
would ever have homework. They may have brought home homework
this year three times, maybe maybe some bullshit.
Speaker 2 (25:37):
Yeah, I've started not I'm picking them up later so
they'll do their homework in class with the teacher.
Speaker 1 (25:44):
Okay, makes sense.
Speaker 2 (25:45):
Yes, because the teacher knows. I'm like, you can ask her.
I'll pick you up later. It'll be fine. It's twenty
more minutes.
Speaker 1 (25:52):
All you guys don't have her on speed dial. We're
you'll be like, let's just ask missus Smith.
Speaker 2 (25:57):
I mean, I don't have her on speed dial, but
I could definitely emailing her and she would email. It's
one of the things I love about going to school
where they do is I know the teachers, like I
can go in and talk to them. We had a
problem yesterday with piano and the piano teacher. My wife
just texted the piano teacher at school and they help,
you know what I mean. Like that part is worth
every penny. Hey, We would love for you to do
(26:18):
two things. This would be really beneficial for us if
you use the talkback mic on the iHeartRadio when you're
listening to this podcast and just tell us, hey, what's up.
Any of those things we get noted save us as
a preset on the iHeartRadio app is another way. Maybe
leave a comment in the review section or something. All
those things help us make us look like we're star students.
(26:39):
We get less homework.
Speaker 1 (26:40):
We need to help.
Speaker 2 (26:41):
And you know, you can say it doesn't matter, but
right now, it totally matters. That's literally how they're deciding
whether we do a good job. Right This is not
a joke, it's not a plea. It's literally how they're
deciding whether we do a good job.
Speaker 4 (26:52):
I see you guys are number one in the ratings,
but you've only gotten three talkbacks this year.
Speaker 2 (26:58):
So if you could do that, that would be awesome.
We would really appreciate it. You guys have a fantastic week.
See ya, bye
Speaker 5 (27:04):
Bye mm hmm.
Okay.
Speaker 2 (00:16):
So I saw a post over the weekend about Charlie's
theren that I had no idea. I mean, I knew
she was a great actress, obviously a stunning person to
look at me, right, But I didn't know that her
mother is a murdered her husband.
Speaker 3 (00:38):
Really, right, I didn't know that either.
Speaker 2 (00:41):
Maybe a lot of people didn't didn't know that. But
her mother shot and killed her husband in nineteen ninety one.
Apparently her father was a drunk and violent and was
threatening both Charlie's and her mom, and so the mom
shot him and what was old self defense? Wow? Okay,
(01:02):
not charging a crime, right, And so that sent me
down a rabbit hole of celebrities that their parents were
murdered or are murderers. Okay, it's a lot. Do you
know anybody whose parents are murdered or murderers? Of course
you do?
Speaker 3 (01:19):
Okay, Yeah, kid, I went to high school with He
watched his dad on Christmas morning murder his mom and
then turned the gun on himself.
Speaker 1 (01:27):
That fucked up.
Speaker 2 (01:28):
Yeah, it is why.
Speaker 3 (01:31):
They were arguing. Dad was apparently crazy and he uh,
I hate when.
Speaker 2 (01:37):
We resort to that he was great. Of course, right,
person is going to go ahead and do it anyway,
but I'm just curious of what the reason was. What
causes somebody on Christmas morning of all right, Yeah.
Speaker 3 (01:48):
Him and his brothers and sisters were outside plane in
the snow. Okay, so not in front of her, No,
in front of him. Yeah, he and he heard his
parents arguing, and he came inside to check on them
and like say like, hey, guys, it's Christmas. And he
watched his dad shoot his mom.
Speaker 2 (02:05):
He came inside to say it was Christmas, like they didn't.
Speaker 3 (02:08):
You guys like stop arguing.
Speaker 2 (02:09):
O got it.
Speaker 3 (02:12):
Actually he was in sixth grade at the time.
Speaker 2 (02:15):
Yeah, all right, give me. I'm just gonna start up.
Speaker 4 (02:19):
Stop asking you because you've had a wild amount of experiences.
I I my brother's ex wife's mom killed her husband
and she served time for it.
Speaker 1 (02:33):
That's about as close as it gets for me.
Speaker 2 (02:35):
I don't know any nobody's sticking out in my brain
as somebody, but apparently celebrities that happens a lot. Jennifer Hudson,
her brother and nephew were murdered in two thousand and
eight by her sister's husband. Yeah, okay, if you don't
know about this one, it is a fantastic story. Woody Harrelson.
Woody Harrelson's father was a contract killer murdered a federal judge.
(02:58):
Oh yeah, that's a good one. Fifty. His mom died
when he was eight. Officially was a fire, but some
belief she was murdered due to her involvement in drug activity.
Dylan McDermott. If you don't know who this is, he's
considered like one of the hot sexy male actors.
Speaker 1 (03:16):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (03:16):
His mother, Dian mc dermott, was shot and killed when
he was a child. It was ruled a homicide years
later that was by a family member or I don't know. No,
it's either your parents were murdered or you parents were murderers.
Speaker 1 (03:29):
Okay, Okay.
Speaker 2 (03:32):
Jack Nicholson, his biological father, is believed to have had
a history of violence and was involved in the murder.
Involved in a murder. The whole family story is messy.
He didn't even know his real parents were until he
was an adult. Okay, so that's kind of a pastor. Yeah,
Woking Phoenix. I don't know this story about making Phoenix,
(03:53):
but apparently his parents were involved in the Children of
God cult, which was known for their abuse and violence.
Speaker 1 (04:00):
Mmm, and his brother River was a sacrifice.
Speaker 2 (04:04):
I guess if it's a sacrifice if you shoot yourself
up with drugs outside a club and die, right.
Speaker 1 (04:09):
I mean, and that's what they want you to believe.
Speaker 3 (04:11):
Was River older or younger than old?
Speaker 1 (04:14):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (04:14):
He was old. Drew Barrymore, her father died. Her grandfather
had a history of violent behavior, including assaults Oprah Winfrey,
her cousin was killed, killed her own child. We did
the Jennifer Hudson one, Dyan McDermott fifty cent, We did
that one. Eminem. Okay, they had a violent upbringing. I'm
(04:39):
shocked how many people it does.
Speaker 4 (04:43):
This more popular than your thought. Murder more popular than
you thought.
Speaker 2 (04:47):
Yeah, I of course have said things like I'm going
to kill that person, right, but never really meant it
right now.
Speaker 4 (04:57):
Following following est different, Yeah.
Speaker 2 (05:01):
To make a statement out loud, I just don't get
there where it means it's real. Now, if I say
I'm going to kill you and then I get a
gun and walk towards you, I feel like you should
think my threat was pretty real, oh for sure. Or
if I say I'm gonna kill you and then I
show up your house at midnight, you should think my
threat's pretty real. Yeah, but if I just say it,
(05:23):
you know, because you're kicking my ass a monopoly.
Speaker 4 (05:28):
And then you show up after midnight. Yeah, yeah, man,
that's yeah. I don't I don't get how people get there,
but everybody's wired differently.
Speaker 2 (05:37):
Well, I it's vengeance, right. You get there because you
think you've been wronged and you are gonna set the
pendulum straight right of the wronging.
Speaker 1 (05:48):
Yeah. But it didn't work like that though.
Speaker 4 (05:50):
No.
Speaker 2 (05:50):
You know, it's kind of like the guy who killed
all those people, was it on the East Coast? He'd
been killing people, he had like a torture thing in
his basement. He's decided to come forward and been like, hey,
I'm I'm guilty. I don't want to put the families
through all that, okay, And you're like, so it's a
plea deal now right now he's got he's getting a
lesser charge, and he's like, well, I just don't want
(06:10):
to put all the families through that.
Speaker 3 (06:12):
Huh, you already did.
Speaker 2 (06:14):
Man, you're robbing them again of their justice. Yes? Do
they want to hear all that again?
Speaker 1 (06:20):
No?
Speaker 4 (06:20):
But do they want to see you look really bad?
Do they want to see you essentially quote unquote get
you know hung Yes, yes, kind of justice yeah, yeah,
they want you embarrassed, all the details to come out
in court about what you did, and you again are
taking something from them, and he's going to get a
(06:42):
plea deal instead of us more severe punishment. But I
mean he could get the jail house justice.
Speaker 2 (06:51):
Maybe not. Yeah, there's not that's not real justice. I
think that when you have somebody who's wronged you and
they go to jail, whether they kid or her spouse
or love them or whatever, and they go to jail
and they you know, plea out and then go to jail. Uh,
and then there's jail. Though you may be relieve that
they're gone, you didn't really get to see unless you
(07:11):
get to find out the details. Right. I don't know
if there's the same justice feeling.
Speaker 1 (07:16):
As if you saw them strapped to an electric chair.
Speaker 4 (07:20):
If you if if if Bob killed somebody because the
drywall business failed, and then you go to jail and
on your second day you get killed.
Speaker 2 (07:28):
I feel like you got out, you got a deal, right,
you didn't get punished, right, are you dead? Sure?
Speaker 1 (07:35):
Right? But there's no sitting there serving your time.
Speaker 4 (07:37):
Reflection, punishment, the sister's visiting you day after day, pineapple
sideways up your ass like there's.
Speaker 2 (07:43):
None of that.
Speaker 1 (07:43):
Yeah yeah, yeah, I guess you're right.
Speaker 2 (07:46):
So it's like, ah again robbed, but for there to
be celebrities, So that, yeah, caught me off.
Speaker 4 (07:54):
Where if they use that, like channel that kind of
trauma into their theirs their craft, you know what I mean?
Speaker 2 (08:04):
I don't know. I think that people that are good
at acting just know how to make you like them. Okay,
So what I mean by that is, I don't think
that they're like I don't I'm not trying to diminister
take away from it. They just we think of it
like I'm believing to be someone else. I think there's
(08:26):
a little bit of them going, I want you to
like me, right, and so to make you like me,
I'm gonna be like, you're so awesome, right, this is
so great. Well yeah, but it's about getting you to
believe that they're that person, right.
Speaker 4 (08:42):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (08:42):
But you can hate some of the best actors in
some of the roles that they play when they're like
the nastiest villain and you see them in that role
and you can't like them and anything else because they
played that role so well. Yeah, and that's all you
see them as.
Speaker 2 (08:56):
Yeah, I mean like is not like fond, you know,
have an affection for like is you you? That can
be a negative way too, but you're right, that can
be somebody being dark and sinister.
Speaker 5 (09:09):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (09:10):
I would love to be an actor and be dark
and sinister. Okay, I feel like that would be a
great outlet.
Speaker 1 (09:15):
Okay, just let all that anger out.
Speaker 2 (09:18):
Yeah, think about it, like someone cuts you off at
work or on the way to work or whatever. You
you take that, you put it in a little box
and shove it way back, right, or you let it
go or whatever. But if you could take that, put
a little box on the shelf easily accessible for when
it's time to hear action. Right, that's some real energy, man.
Speaker 1 (09:38):
And that kind of what you can use your hikarate for.
Speaker 5 (09:41):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (09:42):
I guess. But but if I'm acting, I can kind
of be blind, right, I don't have to have guardrails.
Speaker 1 (09:50):
Yeah, I guess with that, but there's still some kind
of restraint.
Speaker 2 (09:53):
But in my the jiu jitsu, I don't really want
to hurt this individual, right, I know there's going to
be a stop.
Speaker 1 (10:02):
Right, that's what I'm talking about.
Speaker 4 (10:03):
It there's still some kind of you know, limited limitation
there because you you would kill them.
Speaker 1 (10:09):
I'm not saying you would, but you know what I mean.
Speaker 4 (10:11):
Yeah, there's the chances of going overboard just because somebody
pissed you off is pretty high.
Speaker 2 (10:17):
Right, right, But in an acting scenario, right, there's you know,
you know the scene ends, you hear.
Speaker 4 (10:24):
Cut, right right right right right, you go until you
hear cut if I go, unless you're Alec Baldwin, and.
Speaker 1 (10:31):
Yeah, yeah, they don't until they go bang.
Speaker 2 (10:34):
The Alec Baldwin case is actually really fascinating. Yes, you
can put it on a basic level, if he was
handled a gun blanks or not, he should have treated
it that way. You could definitely have that argument, and
you would be fully in your full rights to have that.
But also to be you have to let other people
do their job and you have to believe they're doing
their job. Yeah, And sometimes being an actor is to
(10:56):
surprise people of elements. And if he would surprising to
get the reaction to see, right, if he wasn't supposed
to fire it and whatever, it's not like he was
flinging it around like he's you know, right, while Bill
Hitchcock right right, spinning around and it fired like he
was trying to imitate a scene. So I'm not trying
(11:19):
to give him a pass. I think what he did
has been pretty shitty, and I think the way he's
handled it's been pretty shitty. But ultimately I don't feel
like it's I don't know. I just don't think it's
as clear cut as he was being menacing, right.
Speaker 1 (11:31):
I don't think he did it on purpose.
Speaker 3 (11:34):
Was it the same type of situation when it happened
with Brandon Lee? Okay when they were filming The Crow
because he was killed by a gun?
Speaker 2 (11:46):
I mean it was the scene was it supposed to be?
It was blanks? He was killed by a blank. Oh yeah,
you're talking about on the Crow, right, Yeah? Yet believe
the original movie? Okay, yeah, yeah, people make this mistake.
Blanks are ammunition. Yeah, they still have an explosion. There's
(12:09):
still a chance for you to die.
Speaker 5 (12:14):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (12:16):
They used dummy rounds apparently, which is kind of the same.
It had a bullet tip, which is a projectile but
not like a bullet, right, So dummy round has the
projectile tip, blanks don't. But ultimately this is kind of
the same thing, and ultimately they're just like ammunition. When
it was fired, it pushed that lodged bullet out like
a real shot, went ten to fifteen feet into his abdomen.
(12:42):
He was rusting to surgery died several hours later. No
dedicated experienced firearms specialist on the set.
Speaker 4 (12:51):
Well it's a different time, man, you're Bruce Lee's kid.
Fucking move faster and they finished the movie. Yeah, and
they use body doubles and CGI. Yeah, god damn, ahead
of it's time. See, it doesn't matter who the fuck
you are, man like, Well, well fine, we'll just continue it.
Speaker 2 (13:08):
We'll just use CGI.
Speaker 4 (13:10):
I need some other light skinned Asian fellare with long
black hair will make it work.
Speaker 2 (13:15):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (13:16):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (13:18):
And I wonder how many people have died on set
by a by a firearm.
Speaker 1 (13:23):
By just a firearm.
Speaker 4 (13:26):
Well, there's two that we know of right there, which
feels like a high number already. Yeah, I think you
just just to die on set. I'm interested to see
that number.
Speaker 2 (13:38):
So we know about Brandon Lee John Eric Hexham in
a movie called The Cover Up in nineteen eighty four
that was a blank round at close range. He jokingly
put a prop gun to his head and pulled the trigger.
The blank discharge calls a skull fracture, which is the
gas pressure, and then a brain injury died las days later.
(14:01):
What a fucking dumbass.
Speaker 4 (14:04):
Just playing around. It's fine, it's fine. It's not fine, right,
look at me?
Speaker 2 (14:10):
Aren't I silly? Traumatizing everybody on the set? MythBusters twenty eleven.
A cannon misfired, traveled off range. Nobody died, but it
could have been fatal. Okay, Well that's that's a bunch
of bull. Yeah, that's called an accident. That's called an accident.
Speaker 4 (14:28):
Didn't Houdini dying from getting blasted in the gut with
the canniball.
Speaker 2 (14:32):
It was a trick he had done all the time,
and he had he always found the biggest guy in
the room to punch him in the abdomen.
Speaker 1 (14:38):
Yeah, that's what it is.
Speaker 2 (14:39):
And if I remember correctly, the guy went before he
said go, and so he was caught off guard. And
the whole trick is, you know, tightening your abdomen right right.
Speaker 1 (14:50):
Shift your guts around a little bit.
Speaker 2 (14:51):
Yeah, but it's yeah, go around. He was like four
to three or some ridiculous height too.
Speaker 3 (15:00):
Yeah, ruptured As Appendix when he got hit.
Speaker 2 (15:02):
Nah, yeah, did you just look that up? Yeah? Okay,
I was like, how the fuck did you know that?
Speaker 5 (15:09):
Uh?
Speaker 2 (15:11):
And was he wasn't set like yeah, it caught him
off guarden.
Speaker 3 (15:14):
It was triggered by the unexpected hard punch to his
abdomen delivered by a student.
Speaker 1 (15:20):
Hey.
Speaker 3 (15:21):
Uhs, and he refused to seek medical attention.
Speaker 2 (15:26):
No, no, it messes up the goddamn trick, right. Uh
So it was a kid, yeah, a student. Yeah, well,
I'm a student of his craft. He's five to five. Okay,
my mistake.
Speaker 4 (15:39):
Okay, So he's like teaching down at the local community center.
Speaker 1 (15:43):
You know.
Speaker 4 (15:44):
It's like, I've got a trick for you guys. Somebody
you you Dommy, come over here, punch me in the
fucking gut.
Speaker 1 (15:51):
Okay. Well, I don't know, mister hood eating. I don't
know if I can do this.
Speaker 2 (15:57):
I am hey, so, can you do any tricked for us?
Speaker 3 (16:01):
Well?
Speaker 2 (16:01):
I didn't bring any of my prompts, but go ahead
and fucking give me a lick right in the goddamn belly.
Speaker 4 (16:06):
Hit me as hard as you can. I'm just trying
to entertain, man, it's all ah.
Speaker 2 (16:13):
We hit him multiple times. Well, then that's just whooping
his ass.
Speaker 4 (16:17):
He whooped his ass so you can take a punch.
Speaker 1 (16:20):
Uh, changes there free things.
Speaker 2 (16:23):
Yes, yes, I've heard differently.
Speaker 4 (16:26):
I thought it was a because you see those old videos,
old movies, you know, where the fat guy gets shot
in the belly with the fucking cannon rying the cannonball
and of all his flat Yeah, I thought that's what
it was. No, that's what it was. But no, I
guess he just the same principle. Yeah, he just took
a punch.
Speaker 2 (16:44):
Yeah, he was thirty one when he did this. When
he was a student out of the university. At that time,
he was one of the older students trying to impress
the fucking young kids. Yeah, you fucking geriatric go back
to school. Did he get in trouble the the guy
who punching You think at least manslaughter?
Speaker 4 (17:05):
I mean he.
Speaker 2 (17:06):
Hasked to be punched. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (17:07):
True, that's why it's manslaughter and not homicide.
Speaker 3 (17:10):
And he didn't go to the doctor.
Speaker 4 (17:12):
He didn't seek no treatment, right, he seek Yeah, but
to be fair, they just would have done blood letting collapse.
Speaker 3 (17:18):
After a show in Detroit, he was taking to Grace Hospital.
He underwent surgery, but he died because of the infection
and inflammation of the abdominal lining, so they they caused
They called his official cause of death a penicidis.
Speaker 2 (17:34):
He fucking moved out of the country. No the guy, Yeah,
I punched him, killed America's favorite magician. Yeah, of course
we're gonna hungary him magician. But yeah, yeah, the fact
of it is, yeah, he was ridiculed and made fun of.
He went, he became reclusive and then moved to Canada.
Speaker 4 (17:53):
Hmm.
Speaker 2 (17:56):
So you're the child of this person, right, at what
point do you tell the person you're dating, like, WHOA,
my name sounds very familiar, right, Why, I don't know?
Speaker 4 (18:08):
I just Garfield? Garfield? Who is your dad? Gordon Jay
Gordon Whitefield?
Speaker 1 (18:18):
Yeah, the killer.
Speaker 2 (18:21):
Who deny did who? Did he ever have any kids?
Speaker 1 (18:26):
Uh?
Speaker 2 (18:28):
Yes, yes, because for a while his daughter would hold
the seance.
Speaker 1 (18:32):
Uh huh to try to bring him back.
Speaker 2 (18:34):
Because he's like because he'd never believed in any of
that shit. That's why he was like he was his
whole thing was to take out the other tricksters out there, okay,
because his belief was those people are making you believe
that they can do something sinister. Where I'm just entertaining.
I'm you. Shouldn't you know I'm entertaining you. It should
be clear. These other people are trying to act like
(18:54):
they've got a superpower. And he said, if if when
I die, for whenever I die, I will talk to
you on Halloween from the other side. And it's never
happened ever. Check into that made plans and all that.
Speaker 3 (19:08):
Surely said that they didn't have kids.
Speaker 2 (19:13):
Maybe maybe it was his wife. I forget. I thought
it was or his wife's sister or somebody did it.
Speaker 3 (19:18):
He had a wife, and it says that they Bess
was her name. Bess said that Harry's mother prayed that
Harry and his wife would have children, but they didn't
have any. Oh, she had a medical condition that prevented
her from conceiving.
Speaker 4 (19:33):
Oh well then yeah, she didn't get remarried and have kids.
Then yeah, it's because he had a magic cock. Not
getting you knocked up bitches.
Speaker 2 (19:48):
But I thought I thought he had a kid because
I felt like it was somebody connected to him always
held the seance. Probably just some Yeah, this says she
did it, and he died in nineteen twenty six. Uh,
And they had secret code that he would contact her
from beyond the Grave. She held it every year on
Halloween for ten years. In nineteen thirty six, she ended
(20:09):
it saying, essentially, ten years is long enough to wait
for any man.
Speaker 4 (20:15):
You like, Houdini had a brother and then he had kids. Right,
that's your that's your claim to fame right there. Right,
you're telling everybody, Whodini's my brother.
Speaker 2 (20:26):
I think everybody who has a famous brother, that's their
goddamn claim to thing. That's fair Clinton, okay, right, is
a great example. Julia Roberts, who's her Eric Roberts. He's
an actor and he's an okay actor, He's probably a
C level actor, Okay, ok right, But it was all
I mean, And he may have been whatever before.
Speaker 3 (20:46):
His daughter is bigger than her than him.
Speaker 2 (20:49):
And I don't remember. It's either Kieran or McCauley, one
of the I think Kieran was then the actor first, okay,
and then mcaulay came. I don't I don't remember how
it works, but everybody but one of them. Yeah, you
kind of like writing the you know, you're getting the
hand me down pajamas essentially.
Speaker 1 (21:04):
Yes, that's fair.
Speaker 2 (21:04):
Yeah, and why wouldn't you of course exactly it takes
an in, so why would you not take that? Jared
Leto's brother, right, right. The only reason there's thirty seconds
to Mars is because Jared Leto's a good actor, right,
And he was like, I want a brother to have something,
so we'll make a band. So make a band. And
he's a pretty great drummer. I would probably put him
(21:25):
in the top fifty of current drummers. Maybe top thirty
of current drummers. Okay, right, there's a great video of
him trying to do Chad Smith doing a Chili Pepper
song like he's hearing it without the drum and he
has to interpret the drum and try and figure it out.
Either he's just not good or Chad Smith's really goddamn
good because he misses it completely, which is way better
(21:49):
than I. And you play drums way more than I do,
probably better than you would.
Speaker 4 (21:52):
Do, oh yeah, for sure, because I don't have that
musical ability to like interpret, right right right?
Speaker 2 (21:57):
What's next in a note?
Speaker 1 (21:59):
Yeah? I think I'm good on that. I honest, sit
down in.
Speaker 2 (22:01):
Practice a little bit, but my kid's taking piano lessons
and she gets stuck on some notes. Sometimes. My wife
played piano my mother in law paid play piano. I
played the violin, and even that I probably couldn't help
you with. But she goes, can you help me with
da da? I'm like, well, I'll try, and so I'll
do it. I'm like, I think it's this ding ding
(22:23):
ding or whatever, right, and she's like, no, that's not it.
I'm like, okay, well, I don't know what you want
from me.
Speaker 1 (22:30):
I tried.
Speaker 2 (22:31):
Yeah, I give it my best. It's simped. She came
home with homework and they're doing long division, and so
I was like, no, that's not right. It's I started
doing long division. She's like, ew, what's that. I was like,
you asked me for help, right, She's like, that's not
how you do long division? Ah fuck? Yeah, okay, sure,
that's not how it's done. Don't send kids home with
(22:52):
homework and then leave me out on a goddamn island.
Speaker 4 (22:54):
Now, right, expecting you to know the shit the way
they teach things and nowadays, Yeah, I don't think there
should be homework at all period.
Speaker 2 (23:03):
I don't think it does any goddamn good.
Speaker 1 (23:04):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (23:05):
Yeah, probably right, but we did it, our parents did it,
their parents did it.
Speaker 1 (23:10):
Homework will be there.
Speaker 2 (23:12):
Yeah, well, get rid of goddamn indoor plumbing because you
know you had to go down to the fucking river
to get water. If you're going to do it, that
that that you know legacy thing. No wait, dude, uh.
But the to me, the idea of them having there's
a difference between like they give them time and they
didn't get it done and you've got to go home, rightactly,
that's fine, But to give them specific homework they must
do at home, it is fucking stupid.
Speaker 3 (23:32):
Yeah, I agree.
Speaker 1 (23:33):
I've always agreed with that.
Speaker 2 (23:34):
It does nothing except takeaway from kids being kids and
giving a chance to be outside. It gives stress. Yeah,
there's no reason a kid that's eight should be under
stressed to get homework done.
Speaker 1 (23:45):
Right, got a fucking ulcer?
Speaker 4 (23:47):
Yeah, sitting there at the dinner table with their box
of tombs, you know, trying to do long division.
Speaker 2 (23:52):
Right. I was talking to my wife. I was trying
to remember when did we start having spelling tests studying
at home? I don't remember doing that. Oh I remember,
I remember spelling tests. I remember spelling test. I don't
remember studying for them at home.
Speaker 4 (24:03):
Oh Jesus Christ, I remember it. Nineteen eighty eight eighty nine.
It was right before I moved out of California. And
I'll never forget my Aunt Kathy's sitting there, because, yeah,
my aunt, my dad, his sister had come out to
hang out with us for a little while and she
helped me study for the spelling test. And one word
(24:26):
I was struggling on neighbor neighbor, so she helped me
figure that out. And every every fucking time I have
to spell the word neighbor or neighborhood, I always think
of ant Kathy. So it's always been a thing for me. Yeah, again,
I remember struggling words. I just don't remember the I'm
(24:47):
not saying it didn't happen.
Speaker 2 (24:48):
I don't remember the age when I had to study
spelling words at home.
Speaker 1 (24:52):
You're blucked down.
Speaker 2 (24:53):
That's all my kids have ever done since. That was
like the first homework they ever had, like first grade, kindergarten,
first grade. Yeah, yeah, it's crazy.
Speaker 3 (25:00):
I think they start them too early for testing like that.
But yeah, I remember, I think I was in four
third or fourth grade with the spelling tests.
Speaker 2 (25:11):
I don't remember math homework got I hated man, not
until junior high. I remember having homework in junior high.
But again it was stuff that you didn't get done
in class.
Speaker 1 (25:20):
Right.
Speaker 3 (25:20):
That's how my sixth graders are. If they don't have
if they don't finish it in class, it's because they
ran out of time. That's the only reason why they
would ever have homework. They may have brought home homework
this year three times, maybe maybe some bullshit.
Speaker 2 (25:37):
Yeah, I've started not I'm picking them up later so
they'll do their homework in class with the teacher.
Speaker 1 (25:44):
Okay, makes sense.
Speaker 2 (25:45):
Yes, because the teacher knows. I'm like, you can ask her.
I'll pick you up later. It'll be fine. It's twenty
more minutes.
Speaker 1 (25:52):
All you guys don't have her on speed dial. We're
you'll be like, let's just ask missus Smith.
Speaker 2 (25:57):
I mean, I don't have her on speed dial, but
I could definitely emailing her and she would email. It's
one of the things I love about going to school
where they do is I know the teachers, like I
can go in and talk to them. We had a
problem yesterday with piano and the piano teacher. My wife
just texted the piano teacher at school and they help,
you know what I mean. Like that part is worth
every penny. Hey, We would love for you to do
(26:18):
two things. This would be really beneficial for us if
you use the talkback mic on the iHeartRadio when you're
listening to this podcast and just tell us, hey, what's up.
Any of those things we get noted save us as
a preset on the iHeartRadio app is another way. Maybe
leave a comment in the review section or something. All
those things help us make us look like we're star students.
(26:39):
We get less homework.
Speaker 1 (26:40):
We need to help.
Speaker 2 (26:41):
And you know, you can say it doesn't matter, but
right now, it totally matters. That's literally how they're deciding
whether we do a good job. Right This is not
a joke, it's not a plea. It's literally how they're
deciding whether we do a good job.
Speaker 4 (26:52):
I see you guys are number one in the ratings,
but you've only gotten three talkbacks this year.
Speaker 2 (26:58):
So if you could do that, that would be awesome.
We would really appreciate it. You guys have a fantastic week.
See ya, bye
Speaker 5 (27:04):
Bye mm hmm.
