going This is kind of crazy?Ladies and gentlemen. Could I please have
your attention? Sometimes you just haveto speak things into existence, right,
You just have to manifest. It'sexactly right. Every time, every time

(00:23):
I'm driving to a poker tournament,I just try to visualize myself holding the
trophy, cashing that check. Right, I visualize that fifth diamond hitting on
the river, and I have thenut flush and I'm just gonna scoop.
No, I'm not good at manifesting. Do you remember an hour ago when
we were joking about O. J. Simpson and we were saying Reggie Bush

(00:44):
would have his Heisman back. Yeah, all the floor is yours breaking news.
Reggie Bush is getting his two thousandand five Heisman trophy back. That's
unbelievable. How did that just happen? I don't know. And we randomly
bring that on fire right now?Man, The Heisman Trust call enormous changes
in the college football landscape. Peoplefated in twenty ten in the wake of

(01:06):
a significant NCAAA sanctions for USC.But he is getting his heisman, bros.
He We joked about this an hourago. We just said you can
get away with double murder. Takeyou Why can't Reggie Bush have his back?
Show? I don't know, maybybehe did? I mean, like,
well, if Corey Cove says thathe should have it back, I
like the way you're thinking, itmust be, uh that big of a

(01:29):
deal. A little bit ago theystarted the sports update that they do,
you know with Ronza Moss. Yeah, by saying here's what's trending. I
know we're going Craig, Craig,who's doing Itnza? Is that how you
say? Or not? Ronda?Is it Ronda? Because it sounds like
she says Ronza. I think it'sRonda. Some people say it's ron the

(01:51):
Moss, but it's Ronda Moss.It's a very feminine sounding ron Interesting.
All your hands up? What hawk? Yeah? I mean she's in the
she's famous, all right. HenAnd if we have the ability to just
manifest things and just say let's giveReggie Bush's heisman back, what else should

(02:13):
we as a show manifests no,no, no, guys, guys got
the selfish Uh we can't control that. A new board for the radio thing,
A new one makes impossible things.Let's keep it realistic. I'd like
to win a lot of money inthe lottery. See there you go.

(02:35):
Now you just won the lottery.Things are great. Check first, Yeah,
that's true. That is Wednesday.Isn't NFL drafts it is. I
can't wait. I'm so excited.I'm sure you are. You'll be sleeping

Vikings. According to Adam Schefter,are choosing between Drake May, J J.

(02:55):
McCarthy and La Carptron Duke Mary.That's yeah, well those are the
three. Look at this freaking ESPNright now, breaking news, Reggie Bush
right now, think about what ascandal that was. Somebody that usc bought
their parents, his parents a houseor an apartment or something. Yeah,
I'm kind of freak about that.And he's he's a if you were to

(03:17):
put together an all time college footballteam, he's probably the tailback. He's
a top tenor J O J.He would I mean play. Where do
you have him ranked in terms ofyour all time favorite double murderers. I
would say, I mean, Bundy'sthe first round more than a double murder

(03:38):
if you only kill it people.Well, well, we don't know that.
He didn't kill more than two.Oj we don't know that, but
I bet it's more. I suspectthat's the case. Well, I don't
know. Man, Again, hegot away with these two. Who's to
say he didn't get away with adozens more? Maybe that was his thing.
Yeah, hey, I'm going totell you, guys. Oh real

(04:00):
quick, guys. Again, wehave Anna Halberg in the next segment.
Listen to this rosa You with meover there, I'm here, I'm listening.
A proud graduate of the School ofCinematic Arts at USC. Okay,
like Reggie Bush full circle weird.Maybe she had something to do with it.
I doubt it. She's started aproduction company USC. That's that in
itself. I'd like to hear thatstarted a production company out of USC and

(04:25):
well out of Yeah, just whenshe got out with it. That's not
easy to do. Her business partner, Spencer Cohen, she is uh,
let's see started then six Foot TurkeyProductions. Anyway, She's done music videos,
television and commercial projects. Listen tothis guys. Worked as first ad
for such networks as NBC and CartoonNetwork, directed music videos for Lupe Fiasco

(04:46):
and Patrick Stump, and has donecommercials for Pizza Hut, American Express smeared
off all these different huge companies.And now she's written, directed, and
produced a major motion picture that's aboutto come out. That's pretty cool man.
Yeah. How old is she?Probably in your thirties or something.
I would guess probably maybe early thirties. Grew up in Minnesota, graduated at

(05:08):
Chasca what did work at Chanhassen DinnerTheater, and then went out to LA
to find her stardom. And she'sfounded USC film schools. Yeah, pretty
cool. So she'll be on nextthat's number one, number two, So
I could hire work with her maybe, so it would be great. Yeah,
that'd be great, Corey for sportswork, Can I take the first

(05:29):
one? Of course? It's timefor fan five, brought to you by
Builders and Remodelers. Are you goingto try to manifest something? No?
I just I can't believe that.I just like I like to listen to
two people get pissed off. Okay, all right, SA say something dumb
so I can yell at you.No, no, no, no,
it's not you this Oh damn it, it's going to be Zach Ansauce.
Oh. The Athletic today, asthe twenty twenty four baseball season got in

(05:53):
the way, which teams have thebest front office? For this exercise,
the Athletic canvas forty executives across thesport, Many had experience as the primary
decision maker for a team, evenin the pastor president. We asked each
asked each executive to rank the topfive front offices in baseball and assign a

(06:13):
point value for each position, tenpoints for first, blah blah blah.
Anyway, the answers spanned the bigmarkets and small markets of the teams that
exist in baseball. Where did theTwins front office come in in the rankings?
Just the way you asked that question, it's going to be a lot
higher than if it's going to irritateSack and particular Sauce, it's got to
be a top five. I don'tknow if I have an issue with the

(06:34):
front office. Isn't the ownership?I mean they're doing their you know,
I mean, okay, well,never mind, it's a terrible eight.
Died with the Rangers for eight See, I thought you were gonna be pissed.
I blew it. That's okay.The front office is fine. They
just the owners are horrible. Theteam that that, the pollads are terrible,
and they have done this town ofdisservice by not God, I was

(06:57):
so happy. I was gonna makeyou guys listen investing money into the team
after they won that championship. Imean, if next year the Wolves do
the same thing, they'll get thesame wrath, right. I mean,
if if the Wolves win a serieshere and they move on to the playoffs,
and then next year they cut payrollor trade one of the big three
that they have, they'll they don'tfocus on pitching, right, they'll feel
the same wrath. But the Twinsgave up in the offseason. They signed

(07:19):
Carlos Santana, the baseball player,and he's terrible. They're pitching is terrible.
They they've got lucky that they've runinto this awful, historically bad White
Sox team. Like last night,they're one of the worst teams in baseball.
They almost lost last week forever.At one point they had three one
Twins got like fourteen in a row, were set down by a pitcher I've

(07:41):
never heard of. They're just notgood. Well, they're not good.
They're not good. The Twins arenot a good baseball thought Royce Lewis and
Carlos Correa, this team is.They don't have enough firepower to compete at
the level. If when Korea comesback, which I thought we'd he'd be
back by on certain When Royce Lewiscomes back, changes every dynamic in that

(08:01):
lineup. He makes everyone else aroundhim better. And I'm not I'm not
excusing it the rest of it becauseI felt the same way they did it
the service by sending the wrong messageto the fans after what happened last fall.
They just did nothing. They tooksalary away, they blamed it on
ballet sports, whatever it might be, and then they got that money.
And it's just embarrassing. It is. That's all that's all I can say.

(08:24):
And they're pitching staff and Pablo Lopez, Joe, Ryan Bailey, Ober
Paddock starts doing what he did theother day against the miserable White Sox.
Yeah, they got in Duran Durant'scoming back and the end of the bullpen.
He's pitching in Saint Paul right now. They have. The talent is
sporadic but still there. But they'remissing their two best offensive players. Doesn't

(08:45):
help right now? What but you'reright, Santana's an abject failure and terrible.
You know the Margo guy, he'sbad. Yes, Margo Kidder.
The hell is from Super Laying Man. What Margot Kidder was Lois Lane?
Lane? Was she also in ninetyor Joe? No, you're thinking of

(09:09):
Allen You thinking of Harrison Ford?Yeah, that's true anyway, I think
right, okay? What he gotthere? Core? What else is going
on? Anything in the world.We have a Minnesota Timberwolves Rosie one Game
two the Phoenix size Jaden McDaniels withthe star twenty five points, which happens
to be his career playoff high againstsmall sample size for Jayden, but still
he was dominant, defensively, explosive, offensively kind of off games for Cat

(09:33):
and Aunt. Kat had foul troublemostly his fault first half. Rosie was
one of those bits where I don'tknow how many teams in the NBA drive
straight into a brick wall more thanthe Minnesota Timberwolves when they're playing poorly right
right, when they're playing bad,it is. It doesn't matter if there's
a double team or a triple team. Kat's super guilty of it. Ant

(09:54):
tries it, Gobert does it,Nas does it. Once in a while,
you're going, where do you thinkyou're doing? Right? Sometimes when
they're at their worst, that's whatthey're doing. I felt like they did
a lot of that in the firsthalf, just brickwall after brickwall after brickwall,
and then when they were open,couldn't hit it. But again,
the confidence from the coaching staff andthe players were just, look, we

(10:16):
just played our worst basketball and we'reonly down one. At halftime, they
just were like just oozing, wegot this. They weren't panicking. It
wasn't just oh man, we can'tblow this game. That's the old Wolves
mentality, right. Third quarter,uh, kind of a slow start the
first minute or two, and thenafter that they started pulling away, got
a big lead going. It wasjust fantastic. Third quarter was the key

(10:39):
in game one, third quarter wasthe key in game two. Just objectively,
they are a better basketball team thanPhoenix, absolutely, end of story.
And using a poker term, youknow, you know when it's time
to fold them, And I thinkthe Phoenix Suns. They're beaten down.
They there. There was at apoint maybe early in the fourth quarter,

(11:00):
they were, you know, theywere still busting their chops, I mean
Booker and they were, you know, they were trying to do what they
could, had to work so hardto get a basket, and Durant it
got to the point where they werejust going, we just can't beat this
defense. And they kept coming tome at him in waves, and they
just folded. They just folded.And that's exactly what happened last night.
And then by four minutes to go, they had exhausted their timeouts, they

(11:20):
emptied their bench, and they said, we'll try to get back at home
and try to see what we cando in Phoenix. Serious not over yet,
but hopefully they can. They canput the crushing blow on them on
Friday night and then just get thisthing over with, sweep them, get
them out of here, Bye ByePhoenix. Fourteen all time in series when

(11:41):
they trail two games to zero.That's the second worst record in NBA history.
The Hawks are in twenty one whenthey trail two games to zero,
but the Phoenix never has come back. That seems kind of crazy when you
think about it. They got whatwhat what the Lakers are facing? You
go home? I mean, youthink, well, we can win our
home game. You have to winyour home games. It's it's a that's

(12:01):
a that's a statistic that's hard tobelieve. But even just take the home
road out of it. Just justthe idea that if you're facing a team
that's capable of beating you twice becauseyou're up to ear you down two zero,
you have to beating that team fourout of five, just on the
surface, regardless of where you're at, just sounds very Daunte. Yeah,
it's a tough run. Yeah,well we usually we're usually on the other

(12:22):
end of that. So that isonly the second two oh series lead in
Wolves franchise histories. That is fourthin Minnesota sports since nineteen ninety two.
Enjoy the ride. It's a rareone. We're going through right now,
only fourteen wins away from an NBAtitle. This common says, do you
like parades? Actually? I wasat the Vegas Golden Knights Parade last year.

(12:45):
It was boring as hell, wasit? Really? For sure?
It's Vegas just in general. Anotherday it's pretty bad. But you know,
I don't know, I don't knowif it was for you about Fair?

a cast of thousands and Pseudo onthe Power Trip Morning sho. At eight
twenty five, we have a veryspecial guest calling in from lovely Sunny California,
and Rosie you'll be pleased to know. Yes, as I was talking
to Anna Halberg on hold about hernew movie Taro, which is about to
come out, and about her growingup here and such like that, I
said, well, you grew upin Chaska. Surely you know who Mark

(13:54):
Rosen is and she went, ohmy god, yes I do. So
there you go see even out yourworld famous Mike. Anna, Hulbert.
Welcome to the Power Trip Morning Show. Thank you for waking up early.
Hi everybody, thanks for having me. Absolutely, I'm very very excited for
you. I mean, I knowthat this is just one step in another
on your career, but this isa pretty big one. You've written,

(14:15):
directed, and produced a major motionpicture that's about to come out again.
The film's going to be showing thirtyfive hundred movie theaters worldwide when it comes
out. As we sit here today, are you nervous? Are you excited?
How much time do we have beforethe movie actually hits the theaters.
I'm super excited. So the moviecomes out May third in the United States

(14:37):
very soon. Next week? Wow? Next week? Yeah? Yeah,
I mean that must be a hugething. Rosie, I know you've got
a million questions for Anna, andI feel free to just Joe. I
guess my first one, Anna isknowing that what a process it is to
get to this point where you knowthe release date of this movie is happening.
What were the most arduous steps thatyou had to take where the roadblocks

(14:58):
were there and you had to fightthrough, whether it's production, whether it's
distribution, whatever it is, Explainto folks what that process was like for
you. Yeah. Absolutely. Imean I feel like it's been a process
since I went to college getting tothis point, so it's been a very
long time. But for this specificmovie, so I work with a guy

(15:20):
named Spencer Cohen who's also a writerand a director, and we met at
usc AT Film School as undergraduates.So we've been working together now for like
half our lives, which is crazyto think about. But we wrote this
movie at the height of COVID,so in twenty twenty, and it was
interesting because it was a time obviously, as you know, when there was
a lot of uncertainty, and wejust saw our friends and people around us

(15:41):
who were looking to the stars orturning to tarot cards and all of these
other means to try to find answersabout the future or figure out what was
going on. And so we wrotethis movie, and again it's called Taro,
and so it's about this group ofkids who find terror Deck and you're
not supposed to use someone else's trotback, and so they unleash this evil

(16:03):
that's trapped in the cards and bringthe iconography these different cards to life.
So writing the script was a reallyfun and kind of therapeutic process. So
that part felt easy, but thereare so many challenges that come along with
making the movie. So we hadalready partnered with Sony, who's our distributor,
so luckily we had distribution. Butwe were initially supposed to shoot in

(16:25):
Canada, and there were a lotof complications with shooting there, so we
ended up pivoting last minute to shootingin Serbia, which had its own set
of challenges being that far away.It was a great place to shoot,
but it was also difficult being thatfar away from home, and there's a
language barrier and obviously a time changefrom Los Angeles, so you know,
talking to the studio is difficult,but it was hard too, And finding

(16:49):
a release date is a whole othertricky thing, which I didn't know a
ton about. But you know,you obviously want to make sure that you're
coming out at a time that feelsgood for the movie. Also you weren't
going up against things that feel theexact same, so that was a really
interesting process. And as you justsaid about the release date, so when
you get this movie and you getit done and then you put it in

(17:10):
the can as they say, doyou how much controlled do you have over
the release date or is that allSony? It's pretty much in Sony's hands.
They're much smarter than I am aboutthat stuff, so I kind of
refer to them as far as whata good date would be. All right.
I don't like scary movies if they'retoo scary. Did you scare the
hell out of yourself watching your film? Did you scare yourself to death?

(17:33):
So? Spenser and I like toscare ourselves while we were writing it,
for sure, and we were kindof assholes on set and would try to
scare each other as well, especiallywhen it's like four am and you're shooting
knights and your board. But theprocess of actually making a movie, I
feel like it's so tedious, andthere's nothing really scary about shooting it because
there's no sound, there's no music, there's no editing. So watching it

(17:53):
back, it wasn't that scary.But the process of making it, we
scared ourselves a lot. That's reallyinteresting. Was it hard to make a
horror film that was PG thirteen becausethis one is not? Really We went
in knowing we wanted to make aPG thirteen movies. So for me,
I don't personally get scared by blood, guts, and gore. I can't
watch a ton of really gruesome stuff. And the movie is really fun,

(18:18):
and we wanted it to be fun. There are a lot of horror movies
I oh, and I like itwell, if you can hear me,
and I believe it switched into speakermode. If you can hear me,
you can hear there you are nowwe got you? There you go?
Sorry, yeah, oh sorry,that's okay. Yeah, A lot a
lot of horror movies are really bleakand dark, and and I like watching
those movies, but it's not somethingyou know, like watching them maybe once,

(18:41):
but it's not something that I wantto watch over and over again.
So we wanted to make something thatwas really feel good and was a scary
roller coaster of emotions, but wasn'tgruesome, so we really backed into that
rating. How'd the casting go,like, did you have any names at
one point, attest or did youhave names in mind when you tried to
put this movie? Together? Notreally? I mean I think for me,

(19:04):
for horror movies to actually be scary, you really have to care about
the characters and invest in them,because if you don't care, what happens
to them, then it doesn't matter. It's not going to be scary if
their lives are in jeopardy. Sothe only thing that I really knew going
into this was that we had tocast people who were really relatable. And
it's an ensemble film, so weneeded to feel right off the bat like

(19:27):
this was a group of real friendsthat we would invest in and care about.
So it was really just about castingthe best actors possible. But we
didn't really have anyone specific in mind, and it wasn't important for us to
have recognizable names. It was moreso just to have good actors. You
needed people relatable, not people thatwould sit like court side at a Wolf's

(19:47):
Sun's playoff game. Yeah, youcouldn't have done it. And also,
this movie is one hour and thirtytwo minutes long, which I applied because
you know, I love movies.I love going to the movie, but
I do have a hard time whenthe movies get up there near three hours
long. Was that a conscious thingas well? Is it a minute a
page when you write a script?Were you conscious of that when you were
writing it? Yes, yes wewere, and certainly when we were editing

(20:12):
it. You know, I wantsomething to be tight and to be lean,
get in, have fun, getscared, and get out because I
feel the same way. I lovewatching some of those long, epic movies,
but I don't know. I don'tknow that I want to go sit
for three hours in the theater allthe time. And which also brings up
the point with the world that welive in right now, where people are

(20:32):
streaming everything, and whether it's Netflixand Apple and the movie business itself has
taken a hit. I think overall, I've been going to the movie since
I was a little kid, youknow, I just love them. I
still love going to the big screen. But was there a tussle at all?
Would you always feel you wanted tomake a major motion picture that would
be on the big screen as opposedto doing something for streaming service that would

(20:53):
go immediately to streaming service. Forthis movie, yes, and I think
there are definitely movies that play reallywell on streaming, but ORR is one
of those genres that played so wellin the theaters. It's a great theatrical
experience, and I think just beingaround a group of strangers in a dark
room with the best sound system,getting scared, Like I said, going

(21:15):
on this roller coaster of emotions justworks so well for horror. True,
So for this movie, I knewspecifically it was something that I wanted to
have in theaters and not just releaseit on streaming. Again. Anna Halberg
is our guest. She has written, produced, and directed the movie Tarot,
which hits major hits theaters, Ishould say, on the third of
May, coming right up here andagain. She wrote it, directed and

(21:37):
produced it a million screens across theUnited States. And it all started at
the chan Hassen Dinner Theater. Nowand as one of us graduated from Chaska
worked at the chan Hassen Dinner Theater. I was just talking to somebody about
this yesterday, because there's a greatshow out there right now on Carly Simon
playing at the chan Hassen Dinner Theater. And the lead actress who's playing Carly,
her parents came in to see theshow, and we're shocked at the

(21:59):
quality of the show and how wonderfulit is to have a place like that.
It's not something everybody has anywhere.Carol King, I'm Carol King.
I'm sorry, I said, CarlosTim. Anyway, it doesn't regardless how
great was it to work at theChant has some dinner theater. How how
much did that help your early career? Oh my gosh, it's the best.
And truly there's no theater like itthat I've been to anyway in the
world. And anytime I come backto Minnesota, I always still try to

(22:22):
go with my family to see atleast one show because, like you said,
the quality of the productions is sogood, and working there was such
an awesome experience I started doing it. I think, Oh my gosh,
I was thirteen years old. Ithink when I did a play there,
and the people just become like familyand it's just such a wonderful environment.
Anna Halberg again our guest five threetwenty four of the movie comes out is

(22:45):
called Tarot. You can see.I believe I was looking for Zacho.
I think he threw it on thesocial media pages for Cafe and the Pots.
If you want to watch the trailer, the trailer looks scary, and
I can already tell you meat sauceacross from you here. He gets scared
really easy, and I think thisone might be too scary for him on
it and I'm not sure I'll seeit. To support you, but when
you were younger, Were you alwaysa fan of scary movies? Is there
somebody who you kind of really likedwhen they came out with a scary film

(23:08):
where you was Stephen kingfan Wes Craven. Yes, I mean I think when
I was growing up, I definitelywas a normal teenage girl and that I
watched a lot of like rom comsand that sort of thing. I got
scared very easily, which is whyI like scary movies. But as I
got older, I started to likethem more and more, and I feel

(23:30):
like it's just that horror movies aresuch a great way to explore what's going
on in the world and touch onreally topical things, but without hitting people
over the head with a message.So when I watched them, I love
the experience of getting scared, butI also feel like the really good ones
allow you to think a little bitmore deeply about things. So I think
my appreciation for horror movies has grownas I've gotten older. I know this

(23:52):
is a top of mind right nowwith the big release coming out of this
movie soon, But is there awhat's next for Anna Halberg? What's next
on your plate? Whether projects wouldyou like to get into or Are you
in the process of doing that rightnow? Yes? Just set up the
next movie to write and direct,which is at Universal and Blumhouse and Atomic

(24:15):
Monster, which is James Wand's companyare producing for me. Holy Holy,
I mean that those are giant namesand it's really happening, because that's incredible.
Do you need four on a tract? Yeah? Yeah, Do you
need a fifty three year old chubbyguy who doesn't have any hair? Anything
like that? Perfect? Yeah,that sounds great. Let me ask you

(24:36):
a couple of just quick fire mofquestions and we'll let you go again because
I know it's early out there.Anna Halberg has written, produced, and
directed Tarot in theaters on the thirdof May. Number One, what's your
favorite movie of all time? Oh? Gosh, that's so hard, but
I would probably say Jurassic Park,No kidding. Wow, that's so funny.
Wow, that's awesome in the stage. Yeah, no kidding. Number
two, who's your favorite actor oractress or actor? I guess of all

(25:00):
time? Of all time? JackNicholson. The signing like changed my life?
Oh I love that. I justlove it. You've written, directed,
and produced a movie. When areyou going to write direct produce and
star any because I know you're anactress as well. I haven't really acted
in a very long time, butI do have a small part in Tarro.

(25:22):
Actually I cut all of my lines, but I play a cop.
No, I don't think that that'sconsidered starring but small part. I'm sorry,
No, that's good. I justfind it fascinating that your whole journey

good luck. I hope it makesa billion dollars. Thank you me as
well. By all right, seemwell that was the Kids of Death.

(26:29):
You just said a billion dollars.That's what you said about suicide Squad.
Yeah no, no, I didn'tsay. I hope I said I believe
it's a different thing. I madea prediction that I said that about fall
Guy too. That's gonna be great. That is good? Does look good?
I love that? Looks well again. I hope this, you know.
I read Seinfield's comment the other daythe movies are going to die and
this and that. I it justmakes me ill to think about not being

(26:52):
able to go to a movie theaterto watch, well, a movie like
this and that where belongs on thebig screen. It's your popcorn and and
enjoy the sound and fury and turneverything off. Don'll look at your phones.
And you've got to be there fortwo hours or longer and uh enjoy
the experience. I love it.Yeah. Yeah, that was fine,
man, that was great. Itlooks like a scary movie too, Yeah

(27:15):
thirteen though, Yeah, looks scary. All right, all right, haro
car yeah man. Now it's timefor what headline brought you by your friends
and Wolf River Electric. When Iget that, uh, solar power turned
on? Rosie go solar with WolfRiver Electric. Seen their billboards all over

(27:36):
time. I was gonna say,I want to get turned down. I
kind of yeah, I do.Actually, Rosie, Rosie, you ever
played with cards? Be honest?No, I have not, honestly,
you admit it. What's that ifI can't win it? Poker? I
wonder if I can try that?But you can't use somebody else's deck.
Don't do it? Whoa, ohboy, I'll touch any that guy won?

(28:00):
Sit down? Sah. You hateBen Stiller, right? I hate
him as an actor? O,my god, I love Ben Stiller.
Terrible, Ben hilarious, and he'sa brilliant director. Ben Stiller got quote
blind sided by the reaction to Zoolandertoo. I saw it. It was

(28:22):
unwatchable. I love I freaking lovethe first Almost all of us did the
second one. The second one wasbrutal. He said he was blind sided
by the fans negative reaction. Hesaid, quote, I thought everybody wanted
this, and then it's like,wow, I must have really f this
up. Everybody didn't go to it, and it's gotten these horrible reviews.

(28:45):
He said, what scared me moston that one was losing what I think
is funny, He said, thequestioning yourself was this the thing that was
the scariest part. He said,it affected me for a long time.
He just said, I thought thiswas super funny. Nobody else did.
So it was the first one eternal. It's like dumb and Dumber two don't

(29:07):
make don't do a movie. Yeah, Oh, dumb and number two is
atrocious. Hawk loved it. I'msuper nervous at the out. No More
two is gonna be a waste oftime. But I mean whatever, Yeah,
I mean, you may have saidthis Anchorman two was bad. Anchorman
two didn't ruin the first one thatwas good. All right, Let's hope

(29:29):
the new Beetlejuice doesn't wreck the firstone. He did. The best advice
you can give anybody is just pretendthe second one never happens. Zoolander two
made a budget or had a budgetof fifty million, only made twenty nine
at the box office. Good Ali, So here's a little I know about
Taylor Swift. I thought Kim Kardashianand Taylor Swift were currently at odds.

(29:52):
According to Kim kardashi it's not evenclose. She said, it's been nearly
a decade since the two of themhad beef, so she says it's time
for Taylor to cha take it offand move on, come back. She
said, quote, I don't getwhy Taylor keeps harping on it. It's
been literally years, so she's veryconfused why she has a disc track aimed
at her when, according to Kimsays, they haven't been fighting in over

(30:15):
a decade. Move on has tocome up with material for songs. I
guess, I guess this is interesting. I'm just going to read the headline.
This might be interesting for us inthe broadcasting world. Let's hear it.
Rosie tell Sauce what the FTC isTotal Trade Commission Sure. The FTC

(30:37):
voted to ban nearly all non competesfor employees. I like that. I
wish man, are you serious?One more time? The FTC voted to
ban nearly all non competes for employees. Are you serious, man? Is

(30:57):
that going through? Yep? Ohman, see you guys later. Yeah,
bye bye. Does that mean thatif you get fired from I don't
know this job, you could goor you could quit this job and going.
Basically it would be the equivalent ofhaving uh kind of nail money.
Basically you don't have to you couldjust leave. You don't have to know,
you don't have to commit. Oh, I have nowhere to go,

(31:18):
so I'll be here. Yeah,he has no money right now? This
changes your life zero. Yeah,it might change his life alive? Well
might you might have to sit inthis chair. We're all going to hell.
Well, then I'm also leaving this. Thank you you ever voted yesterday?

(31:41):
Hanging around with you, saus Thanks, that's interesting. Oh great,
three and a half hours of pottalk. I was always told you could
challenge those not competes when we hadthem at you know, like Channel four
all the time if you really wantedmy attorneys at the time, not lawyer
Lambert, although he would have toldme the same thing. Uh, you
could challenge it in court and probablywin. Let the boy work. Yeah,

(32:04):
you just want somewhere else two years. He's just sick of having to
talk in the same Microphy has beentalking to you for twenty nine years.
Great stories Ago. Just sick ofusing the same board that the prehistoric ancestors
use. A five year old Ostrichin Kansas named Karen. I knew Karen.

(32:25):
Karen died appointingly. Yeah, probablyshe swallowed a set of keys that
she ate it from a staff memberswallowed a set of keys. Geese ate
some keys and died. It's alot of cocaine. It must have been.
Oh, I see what you did. I don't understand how animals survived
before us, because I watched mydogs and what they eat, and I'm

(32:47):
like, how do you think that'sgonna work? You're gonna die? So
then I have to panic and quicklylike rip it out of their face before
they choke on it. It's notfunny, dummy, Yeah, just let
them. Yeah, there's the choked. I'll learn are so stupid? Uppet's
not dumb. You know when Isaw the other day corps go on this
you know, popped up on oneof my grams, I don't know it

(33:10):
was an advertisement for this product thatit looked like a like a water bottle
and it had a thing that likelike you put over somebody's mouth when they're
going to surgery and they need oxygen, and you pulled back on the bottle
thing and it sucked whatever was chokingthem out of their throat. Genius.
Really, if the pets were forkids or for what for people? For
people? For people, like ifthey're choking instead of giving them him,

(33:31):
like, you put this thing overtheir mouth and you yank on the thing
and it pops whatever they're choking ontheir mouth. Yeah kind of, I
mean brilliant, Right, Yeah,that's brilliant. We could bring that to
Vegas and next time Sauce goes tothe buffet. Oh my god. Yeah,
we could let the Vikings use itin the playoffs. I've been saving

(33:52):
that one all day. Talk abouta non compete clause. A female door
dash driver claims that she was penalizedbecause she refused to drop off in order
to a dude. Oh no,what do you do why? Female door
dash driver claims she was penalized forthe company because she refused to drop off
in order to a dude. Itmust have been some sort of circumstances.
Did I mention he's a nudist.Oh no, you missed he did not

(34:15):
want to drop off food to amale nudist. The dude is a nudist.
I guess that makes that makes sensethat out. By the way,
their new podcast, non Music Duoson their podcast that I was remember we
had to do. Oh yeah,the dude's great. Yeah, he's the
best done music duos. Non musicduos he passed away. Yeah, they
do a podcast. So just therethey're rushmore of things. Their top four

(34:37):
partners in anything in life outside ofmusic. Yeah yeah, yeah, So
I'm looking so like Matt Damon andBen Affleck the boom right there, Taco
and Bell Penn and Teller Pen andTeller Bam you already got and Hutch Uh
yeah, okay, Cool Crocker andNash Crocker. Isn't that the Miami vice

(34:58):
guys Crockett, Rocket Tubs, TubsTubs, I was close. Don't meet
Sauce and Nordo. How did youforget the tubs? Oh because I am
Tubbs Tubs, Sauce and Nordo thetwo guys on the motorcycles. Oh okay,
Little Bonn and Cornheiser, Jeff andMark Mark Yeah, there you go,
Ed McMahon and Johnny Carson Madden insummer. All that's a good one.

(35:22):
Wow. So there go what's yourMount Rushmore podcast featuring the dude who
apparently is a newtist and died.Oh well, rest in peace Mark.
Why don't they have a door dashof nudists like the drivers that the newtist.
Well, there's something used to drunkbarn door dash barking. That's good.

(35:44):
I didn't know this part of thisstory. Twenty years ago. On
April twenty fourth, which is today, in two thousand and four, Mario
Lopez, a c slater, marriedAli Landry, who was the Dorrido's girl.
Oh yeah. Their marriage failed quickly. It was in old two weeks
after they were married, after headmitted to being unfaithful to her at his
bachelor party right out of the gate. I believe he told that story on

(36:06):
Howard Stern one time. I thinkhe did at his bachelor party, which
was what weeks before they got married. I know somebody. I don't know
them, but it's a friend througha friend of somebody's marriage. You're right,
from a friend of the show isgoing to be tough, and it's
just Zach and Sauce. It endedon their honeymoon. He cheated on her

(36:27):
on their honeymoon. Never a goodsign. Again, when you're Ac Slater
and you're the one who pops upon my TV. The first thing I
do when I get to Las Vegasis I want to know what's new in
Hollywood and Mario Lopez is they're tellingme, and you got the Doritos girl
for life, and you're like,nah no, got I can do better,

(36:50):
don't. That should be illegal forhim to get married. He should
share that with everybody in the way. You're what you believe, the entire
thing that he has. People shouldn'tget married. Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes said
he is too scared to host SaturdayNight Live because he is afraid of reading

(37:12):
off of a teleprompter. Well,they don't really have a teleprompter Q cards,
but still. He also says,though, that the teleprompter from his
sp speech a handful of years agoscarred him and said even though it's Q
cards and not teleprompters, he's he'sfreaked out about it. He doesn't want
to do it. All that mightbe true. I just think he doesn't
want to do it right? HaveAndy whisper in his ear? How would

(37:36):
that sound? That's like Rix Spelmanand Josh Freeman about that all check this
one out. I think all ofus would love to have a flamethrower,
right. You know Elon Musk hasthat company that makes flamethrowers. Leonardo Dicaprios
flamethrower in Hollywood movie What No,I never saw that movie. I never

(38:00):
saw a great scene. Now topthree favorite. I've never seen the film.
I've seen it so many times.I'm with you, love it?
Well? What if I told youyou could have a flamethrower, Rosie,
but it was attached to your buttholeto a robot dog? Oh yeah,
I saw this. A company calledthrow Flame is selling one called the Thermominator

(38:23):
WOW for ninety four not thermominator.I meet Sauce at Therminator. Therminator Therminator
for ninety four hundred dollars. Youcould operate operated over Wi Fi or Bluetooth.
It has a remote control. Itcan shoot flames up to thirty feet.
I'm sure people are going to usethis properly. Oh yeah. The
website says legal in all fifty states, although you do need a special permit

(38:45):
in California and Maryland. But theyaren't pushing for the guard dog angle.
This isn't something you're supposed to justhave on your porch saying get out of
here, I'm gonna shoot thirty feetof flames at you. They list eight
different things that this flame throwing robotdog can be used for. Name one.
I can't come up with one.Clearing weeds. That would like a

(39:08):
skunk, ice and snow removal notbad bat. Next line would use I
would use a robot dogs for iceand snow, snow remove, particular past
removal that seems safe, uh,controlled burns. Not safe at last,
but not least. And this iswhat ninety nine point nine percent of people

(39:29):
are going to buy this thing fortheir neighbors. Pyro Technics and Entertainment.
Man, I was gonna say,Pyro at a rocket club show a couple
of those dogs, I had robotdogs shoot flames unlimited money, right.
You know what I would do.I would get one of those robot dogs,
and the only thing I would useForte is to light my circum some

(39:51):
of your touchdown calls. So I'dlike walk out and I'd be like,
hey, that's the neighbor guy.He got one of those cool robot dogs.
And then I'd go and pack mypack SIGs, take the top of
it off, throw it on inthere, and go and light it up,
and then just walk around the neighborhood. And then when I wanted to
have another heater, my robot dogwith the flamethrower would light it. Why

(40:12):
are you looking at me like thattalk with the flamethrower. Why of your
neighbors out loud say Hey, that'sthe guy that bought the robot dog.
Yeah, look at his burned face. I saw yesterday scrolling again as I
want to do. World War twoveteran Corey describing how he used a flamethrower

(40:37):
atie Wushima. And I had neverheard anybody who had actually murdered, you
know, in a war, killedpeople, you know, doing your job
in a war, using a flamethrower. This gentleman, he wasn't a fan,
you know what I mean. Hedid his job, but the things
he saw and that he caused horrific. And this was a he was very

(40:57):
old man at the time, andyou could tell it it his whole life.
I've never seen anybody talk like thatbefore. It was, and they
were. They were They were theones who were targeted by the enemy because
if they hit the right spot,it would blow up and take everybody out
around them. Horrifying, horrifying.But I need one. That's a dog.
I do need to say a dog. That's a question of course,

(41:21):
Zachary Sauce. Uh, you're ona boat. Yes, and the robot
dot with the flamethrower jumps off,as does Pete Sauce. You can only
save one the robot close. Imight save my Xbox over PiZZ Sauce if
it was. Dude, do youknow what I was about to say?
What I was about to say?Say it? Oh no, don't say

(41:44):
it. I know what you weregonna say. I didn't mean to use
my non compete Oh man, PeteSauce's funeral or draft day, Draft Day,
