In your expertise, is it always an older gentleman
that just takes it home?
I always notice it's like this,always seems to be like this
person with a super strong hand.

SPEAKER_01 (05:26):

out when you're you know testingstrength and on a stage with an
audience.

Nostalgically, they're awesome.

SPEAKER_01 (09:58):
The writing is so simple, but like I'm turning
pages so fast.

SPEAKER_06 (10:01):
The first show that ever scared me was Are You
Afraid of the Dark?
You remember that show, man?
Boy, remember it?
Like it's the best.

SPEAKER_01 (10:07):
Was that the one with the worm?

SPEAKER_05 (10:09):
No, no, it's freaky stories.
Freaky stories?
No, it's freaky stories.
No, You Afraid of the Dark iswhen they throw the sand magic
dust on the fire and says uhsubmitted for the approval of
the Midnight Society, and theythrow it on there and they say
the name of the episode.
They had one with a clown thatwas frightening.
Blue eyes.
Yeah.
There's a bunch of good ones.
Like I loved We You Afraid ofthe Dark as a kid.
That was great.
There was a couple really goodones.

SPEAKER_01 (10:28):
Bring back 90s television.
Seriously.
Yeah.
There was a lot of great 90stelevision.

SPEAKER_06 (10:33):
Yeah.
Yeah.
I mean, I don't know.
There's some good shows out now.
I like the newest version of itthat came out.
That's a few years old now, butthe movie it remade it.
Oh, 100%.
That's better than the original.
Yeah, the original is garbage.
It's a great remake, right?
I still haven't watched thesecond one because everybody
told me it wasn't great.
But there's it and there's ittoo.

(10:54):
They made a sequel to the newit.

SPEAKER_01 (10:56):
When when I see like a remake of like an original
classic, and then they make asequel to the remake of the
original classic, that scares mesometimes.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So maybe best you haven't seenthe second one.

SPEAKER_06 (11:08):
Yeah, I don't know, because the book was massive.
Right?
Like, and and it was it was ahuge weird too.
And it got really messed up.
Like he just lost his likemarbles halfway through the
book, and then spiders gotinvolved.
It was really remember theyturned to a gigantic spider
book.

SPEAKER_05 (11:21):
Yeah, that was the worst thing.
That's not even the weirdestpart.
The weirdest part is like theall the kids in the
inappropriateness.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah, yeah.
That's a it's a messed up book.
That's a pretty messed up book.

SPEAKER_06 (11:33):
But but the but the movie is not like that.
No, they left that part in thesame sense.

SPEAKER_05 (11:37):
Like someone was smart and was like, hey, you
know what's not good?
12-year-olds like doinginappropriate things to each
other in the middle of the book.

SPEAKER_06 (11:44):
100%.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
But the second one was like themyears later.
Like, and that's all in thefirst book.
Because I saw the first book,they end up going into like the
30s or 20s or whatever, and nowthey're living life as adults,
and it comes back.

SPEAKER_05 (11:57):
Yeah.

SPEAKER_06 (11:57):
It's all in the same book.
Scary.

SPEAKER_05 (11:59):
So good concept, but typical to like the Stephen King
stuff.
It's like it kind of goes alittle too weird.
Like great concepts, goodstarts.
Yeah.
And sometimes good.
I mean, outside of like theshining and things like that.
He has some really bangers,right?

SPEAKER_01 (12:12):
But sometimes you're like, who approved this?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
What was the thought?

SPEAKER_05 (12:15):
It was a good horror movie, though, the new one.
Yeah.
It was awesome.

SPEAKER_06 (12:18):
It was actually an improvement.
Yeah.
100%.
But uh where were we on that?
I lost my lost my train ofthought.

SPEAKER_05 (12:24):
Uh we were talking about uh great TV shows.

SPEAKER_01 (12:26):
Being a detective.

SPEAKER_05 (12:27):
Oh no, we're talking about being a detective.
Yeah.
See, that's where ADD ADHD takesyou.

SPEAKER_06 (12:31):
Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_01 (12:32):
I was really bad at science, and I'm just not really
like a numbers math sciencegirly.
I'm definitely more writing, butI was looking at doing like
studying like forensics and allthat stuff, which I should have
done.

SPEAKER_05 (12:43):
Oh yeah.
That is cool.

SPEAKER_01 (12:45):
Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 (12:45):
Never too late.

SPEAKER_01 (12:46):
Never too late.

SPEAKER_05 (12:46):
You're so I mean, yeah.
I mean, probably wouldn't wantto work for the FBI right now.
You could be a content creator.
You could work for the Canadianversion.
The FBI just bullies people forTrump at this point.

SPEAKER_01 (12:57):
Yeah, no, I wouldn't if I had known then what I know
now.

SPEAKER_06 (13:00):
Imagine if you call like combined forensics with
content creation and like youwould like, you know, solve a
crime while eating like noodlesat some new joint.
You'd bring them in and dude.
I don't know how we roll thatout, but that sounds like an
actually awesome thing.

SPEAKER_01 (13:13):
Yeah, there's something there.

SPEAKER_06 (13:14):
A murder in a soup or or whatever.
Like, you know, murder happenedand there's also a great soup
next door.

SPEAKER_01 (13:21):
Going in and you're eating pizza, and it's just like
little Timmy never stand at achance.
And now meat lovers.

SPEAKER_05 (13:34):
Or you just you just totally troll people because
there's people who don't likelike the sound of people eating
or watching them eating.
Oh, yeah.
So what you do is you They saythat's intelligent people.

SPEAKER_06 (13:41):
I just saw that the other day.
It was like higher IQ peopledon't like the sounds of other
people chewing food.

SPEAKER_01 (13:46):
I believe that.

SPEAKER_06 (13:47):
Do you?
I don't I don't know.

SPEAKER_01 (13:48):
I mean I do like it.

SPEAKER_05 (13:50):
I can't say I like it, but it doesn't bother me.

SPEAKER_01 (13:52):
Oh yeah.

SPEAKER_05 (13:53):
Bothers me.
Does it?
Oh yeah.
Then the the theory's gone.

SPEAKER_00 (13:59):
Myth busted.
Myth busted.

SPEAKER_06 (14:03):
It bothers Andrea when I do it.
I know that.
Because she'll be like,especially when I'm eating
chicken wings, like that's likethe bad food.
That's when I'm having the mostfun in life.

SPEAKER_01 (14:11):
Is I'm just like that's a food you've got to
mind.

SPEAKER_06 (14:13):
I'm just killing a pound of wings, right?
And and uh and she's like, youknow, oh my god, you sound
disgusting, right?
Because I'm just you know, thatwhole thing.

SPEAKER_05 (14:21):
You you got to witness me like go to fucking
town on uh chicken wings lastweek.
Oh yeah.
The spicy eating contest.
So yeah, that was crazy.
Yeah.

SPEAKER_06 (14:30):
So Matt the other week he he uh if you go on her
socials, he um entered aWingagedon.
This was at in um Muscadum atNova Scotia.
Yeah, right?
Yeah, really nice guy owns thatbar.
He's a really passionate guy,his name's Will.
Yeah, and you would be shockedto see how crazy he got he got
this place going for a hotel.

(14:52):
It looked like quite I wentthere to get something to eat
before the show.
There was nowhere to sit.
Like, so I just shot the show onuh uh on my iPhone and captured
Matt just uh mowing through somewings and all the contestants,
and there were some crazy peoplethere.
Yeah, and I mean that daringway.
The guy who won in particularwas crazy.

SPEAKER_05 (15:11):
I uh it appeared I came in second to this guy
because he just crushed it.
I mean, I uh we uh five people,there was 26 people, five people
made it to the finals, um, fivepeople made it to the
tiebreaker, and the tiebreakerwas who can eat ten wings the
fastest of the hottest, like theCarolina Reaper.
And I got three or four down.

(15:32):
Um, and I I was three down whenhe had three left.
So I was just like, I I at thatpoint I was like, I'm I can't
win.
So I instead of just completelygiving up, I chewed on the last
one.
So I got like four wings down,and I think everyone else only
got like two or something.
So uh I came in second, I guess,in that regard.
Kudos to you.
That's very far second comparedto this guy.

some sort of thing where we'retrolling people and we're eating
and doing detective work anddetective work.

That's true.
Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 (16:42):
Tell tell me everything I'm doing is great.
Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 (16:46):
So speak we were talking about TV and things like
that.
So, like, what is your guiltypleasure TV show?
Oh, good question.

SPEAKER_01 (16:54):
God, I am knee deep in like the shittiest reality TV
shows.
Okay.
Um, like Love is Blind, Bad One.
I'm watching that right now.
It's so terrible and I hate it.
But like um MTV used to do a lotof really good ones.
Uh they did like um gosh, likeit wasn't like it wasn't called

(17:17):
Love at First Sight, but it waslike, oh, like uh Are You the
One was a crazy one, TheChallenge is a guilty pleasure.
That's actually a really goodshow.
Um, Temptation Island,ridiculous, causes me so much
anxiety, but I cannot look away.
All of those like really, reallycruddy reality TV shows.
My wife likes a lot of them.

SPEAKER_05 (17:35):
Yeah, I watch some of them.
I watch some of them.

SPEAKER_01 (17:38):
They're just so easy.
I can do other things while I'mwatching them, and it like gives
me a little bit of chaos wherelike my life isn't as chaotic as
it used to be.
So it fills a void somehow.

SPEAKER_06 (17:48):
There you go.
Maybe that's why people like itand they like the drama.
Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 (17:51):
It's a hundred percent why my wife likes it.
Yeah, she's like, if there's nodrama, she's like, oh, this
season's boring.
Yeah.
For me, it's like listening tochewing food.
So you know what?
I I don't I don't mind joking.
I just think that they could behalf as long.
Sometimes they they're like, youknow, they're something like 10
episodes a lot.
An hour long each?
No, it's not even about that.

(18:11):
Uh yes, it is about that, butalso uh like there's like 11
episodes.
I think I could watch them.
Like, I find the idea, like Loveis blind, I'll take this is one
of the ones that I watch with mywife.
I find the concept interesting.
Two people sit behind a wall, ormany people sit behind a wall,
they don't see each other, andthey get to they date each other
and they whittle people downuntil they pick one or two that

(18:32):
they like.
I've seen bits and but theydon't see each other, and then
they have to agree to be and getengaged before they can see each
other, right?
So I find the concept behindthat very interesting.
What I don't care about is thelong drawn-out scenes about them
just being like, you know,whether they're kissing or
swimming or drinking orwhatever.
And I'm just like, cut this downto like really short, where it's

(18:56):
like get the give me the meat ofthe dating process, see if they
like each other.

SPEAKER_01 (19:00):
Make them fight and show me that.

SPEAKER_05 (19:02):
Or that too, but like let them find out the weird
things in it, and then and thenlike play out the process.
Well, and see if it works.

SPEAKER_01 (19:10):
It's so interesting now, too.
Like reality TV in like theearly 2000s, like when
Vanderpump rules started, thatlike reality TV will never be
the same because your onlysource of that was through the
TV show.
But now you get people applyingfor these shows because they
want brand deals, because theywant an online presence.
So it's so clear to see.

(19:30):
Sometimes when you watch a show,it's like, oh, this person is
only here because they want toget 50,000 extra followers on
Instagram, you know.
That's right.
No, you're right.
So it's kind of it's kind oftainted it that way, but you
know what, Tobin?

SPEAKER_05 (19:42):
There you go.
That's a way to boost oursocials.
There you go.

SPEAKER_06 (19:44):
You and I can go on on a reality show.
I don't want to.
I wouldn't want to.
I wouldn't be likable on it, Idon't think.
I just tell everyone to F off.

SPEAKER_01 (19:51):
Well, that what's that's what makes good TV.

SPEAKER_06 (19:54):
You would get you would get a lot of followers and
a lot of death threats.

SPEAKER_05 (19:58):
Because that's the messed up thing about this
thing.
For some people get so investedthat they like threaten people,
like the the one on Love isBlind, the the lady who who
would dump the Asian guy.
Yes.
Right.
They dumped the Asian guy.
Like, she's getting deaththreats.
And I'm like, don't get mewrong, she did a shitty move.
She was not nice to that man.
She led him on, she made himthink that she was still in love
with him, and she was clearlytold production she was breaking

(20:20):
up with him weeks before ithappened.
What show was this?
Love is Blind.
Okay.

SPEAKER_01 (20:24):
So when she met him, she was like, just kidding, I'm
gonna leave.

SPEAKER_05 (20:27):
Like that's right.
So she so yeah, so it wasclearly really shitty what she
was doing.
But so dude was likeheartbroken, obviously.
No, he didn't know.
No, that's we don't.
I'm not at the point where he'sheartbroken yet.
Sorry.

SPEAKER_01 (20:39):
So she makes it seem to him like, oh my gosh, I just
can't do the show anymore.
This is too much pressure, butwe'll see each other when this
is over.
But she told production, like, Ijust won't get there with him.
I don't want to continue.

SPEAKER_06 (20:52):
So that was what they showed on TV.
Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 (20:54):
So you have so you can see her telling production,
nah, but then it shows clips ofhim telling his friends, like,
oh, like we're still gonna seeeach other.
Like that's terrible.
We haven't met up yet, but wewill.

SPEAKER_05 (21:06):
Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 (21:06):
Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 (21:06):
There's so yeah, she's dirty.
She was she was pretty brutal.
That being said, I never in mylife would I think to go online
and like threaten this womanjust because she did something
shitty to someone else.

SPEAKER_01 (21:17):
No, it's insane.
Right?

SPEAKER_05 (21:18):
Threaten?
No, no, no, no, right?

SPEAKER_01 (21:20):
It's just yeah, yeah, people get so passionate,
it's a little crazy.
And not to mention it was filmedlike probably almost two years
ago.
So, like, it's at least a yearago.
You went through when you filmedit, and then now when the
world's watching it, and you'veprobably grown so much since the
experience, blah blah.
And people are like, How couldyou do that?
That's true.

SPEAKER_05 (21:39):
And it was literally like a year ago.
The yeah, the the show end likethe show recording of the show
ended a year ago because in aweek or two, the reunion's gonna
be on.
And the reunion comes on theweek after the show ends, like
for us who's watching.

SPEAKER_01 (21:52):
So then it's a catch up of like, oh, what has
happened since the show ends?

SPEAKER_06 (21:55):
One year later.
I'm learning so much about thisstuff right now.
I'm I never understood it all.
You're going home watching it.
What you're going to home watchit.
That sounds interesting.
I like the concept.
The concept of love is love isthat's what hooked me up.
What I found is why I was like,why are they all so good
looking?
Put a couple like real, reallike monsters in the side.
Yes, like on both sides.
Not to sound rude, but like putsome like put some real
challenges in there where you'relike shockers and no, you know

(22:18):
what?

SPEAKER_05 (22:18):
I agree.
This is what I've been saying tomy wife.
And is is listen, uh, beauty'sin the eye of the beholder.
100%, right?
Yeah, but this is the thing iseveryone they put on this show
is like objectively goodlooking, right?
Super attractive.
Sometimes you look at people andyou're like, eh, that's not
really my style or what I don'tlike, whatever.
Is but like throw a bunch ofpeople in there, throw in some
people that we would considertraditionally not good looking,

(22:39):
like find some homeless guy andthrow them on there, right?

SPEAKER_06 (22:42):
Like, you know, like like uh find find no, but find
some people from different walksof life and put them on.

SPEAKER_05 (22:49):
But throw some people in there that look
vastly, vastly different, andall that like not everyone has a
six-pack and all this otherstuff.
And I think then you can onlytruly determine if love is
blind, because in the end, atthis point, this is the thing
that is kind of making me get alittle annoyed with the show,
and kind of I say to every time,like I'm not watching this
anymore, is because they're allobjectively good looking, and

(23:09):
the fact is that when peoplecome on, it's at that point
they're just nitpicking becausethey've already connected on a
level, they're eat they eitherhave already connected on a
personal, like intellectuallevel, or they are what you are
saying, and they've entered thisshow not actually to find love
as blind, they're on there toboost their Instagram, and then
try to find a way of weaselingout of it.

(23:30):
And then you do see that a loton this where they're like they
try to remain the good guy whilebreaking up with the person.

SPEAKER_01 (23:36):
But it's like if you're gonna be the good guy,
then shut up.
Yeah, like tell production thesame thing you're telling Buddy
if you want to come out clean onthe other side.
Not saying I'm not justifyingbeing a liar, but if you're
gonna Don't be stupid, if you'regonna be a villain on reality
TV, be smart about it.

SPEAKER_06 (23:52):
I thought the old Big Brother and Survivor formats
were good.
I've never watched Big Brother.
I watched I watched Big Brother,like I watched the whole season
of it.
And I never watched Survivoreither, actually.
I watched Survivor as well backthen.

SPEAKER_01 (24:02):
I actually looked into applying for Big Brother,
but then I saw that you havelike 71 days of 24-hour like
surveillance.
Like your whole house is livestreamed on the internet for 71
days, 24 hours.
And I was like, that actuallymight put me into, you know, I

(24:22):
don't think what that would doto me.

SPEAKER_05 (24:25):
I don't I don't I don't think anyone should have
the access to watch anyone kindof deucin out.

SPEAKER_01 (24:30):
No.
Well, that's a thing.
There's cameras in thebathrooms, just not in the
stalls.

SPEAKER_06 (24:36):
But I'm like, this is still like just because of
that comment.
I'm moving on.
That's fine.
What was a non-reality show thatI don't know, you saw a map that
you'll really enjoyed this year,like a movie or picture uh movie
or TV show, sorry.

SPEAKER_01 (24:51):
Um non-reality TV.

SPEAKER_06 (24:53):
Either one of you, so you can jump in too.
I'd be curious.
I'll think of something.
I don't know.
Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 (24:57):
I'll try to think of it.
Man, I'm really chasing I'mreally chasing something here.
I watched The Summer I TurnedPretty.

SPEAKER_02 (25:05):
Okay.
Is it good?

SPEAKER_01 (25:07):
It's like it's very like young adult drama.
Like it's, you know, you watchthe the show and you're like,
oh, these silly teens, what arethey doing?
But like you get so attached tothe characters.
I ended up watching the finaleof the show with a bunch of my
girlfriends.
Oh, okay.
And we were screaming at the TV.
We were dancing, we werejumping, we were like, it was so

(25:28):
much fun to watch.
And that was a really fun onethat I had this year, actually.

SPEAKER_05 (25:32):
Nice.
Okay, how about you?
You got anything?
Uh yeah, you know what?
There's there's I guess there'stwo that I really, really
enjoyed for different reasons.
One's a comedy, one's not.
Yeah, one didn't start this yearand one did.
So the one that didn't startthis year, I just watched it the
season one and season two, andI'm really psyched about it
because season three starts inlike a week.
Yeah, is the diplomat of CarrieRussell.

SPEAKER_01 (25:50):
Oh, I haven't seen her.

SPEAKER_05 (25:51):
So good.
Carrie Russell.
So good.
I remember she was Felicity.
Okay, yeah, yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_01 (25:56):
I'm gonna write this down.
I always need a lot of people.

SPEAKER_05 (25:58):
So so good.
What's it about?
I like it.
So she's she's um she's a dipher, she and her husband are a
diplomat.
He's a little shady, um, and uh,but she's been appointed to be
the diplomat from the USA to theUK.
That's obviously a high highprofile diplomacy type of
position.
Yeah, yeah.
The reason they do it is becausethey have an the the idea is
that they want her to run forthe vice president's uh vice

(26:20):
presidency in the next election.
So they're kind of giving her anopportunity to be high profile.
And just like a ton of crazystuff happens behind the scenes,
and uh like there's a there's auh a UK um aircraft carrier gets
attacked, and some people aretrying to blame Iran, and some
people are trying to blame uhany anyway.
It's this whole thing.

(26:41):
But season three comes out likein two weeks, and I so pumped
because it's so so so Netflix.
Netflix, okay.
And the other one was on Netflixtoo, which was called uh Man
Inside, or is it Man Inside?
Anyway, it's it's um with TedDanc.
Okay.
My god, this is so so funny.

SPEAKER_06 (27:00):
It's funny.

SPEAKER_05 (27:01):
The man on the man on Man on the Inside.
That's what it's man on theinside.
I never saw either one of those.
Yeah.
So did with Ted Dancing.
Yeah, yeah.
Uh basically what happens isthere's a uh old age home.
Uh there's some burglaries thatare happening, like not
burglaries, I shouldn't say,thefts that are happening.
And someone comes to a uhprivate audience, private
investigator to hire hire thisperson, and so she can't go in

(27:24):
because she's like 40, so shehas to get a man on the inside.
So she gets Ted Dancing to go inand check into this thing and do
reconnaissance for her.
Okay, and it's hilarious.
Really?
So funny.
There's like I want to tell youthe funny thing that made me
actually cry laughing.
No, no, tell me.
But I don't want to give itaway.

SPEAKER_06 (27:41):
Don't give it away.
I'll uh I'll I'll give that onea shot.

SPEAKER_01 (27:43):
Yeah, I feel like I have watched that.

SPEAKER_05 (27:46):
Season two of that's coming out pretty soon, too.

SPEAKER_01 (27:48):
Wicked.
Yeah, I'm gonna have to revisitthat because I'm I'm having
memories of it happening in mymind, but I can't pick out
anything specific about it.

SPEAKER_05 (27:56):
Yeah, what about you?
I know you liked Alien.

SPEAKER_07 (27:59):
Yeah, oh he did.

SPEAKER_06 (28:04):
I I I I was enjoying it, but they kept talking.
I kept falling asleep.
Like I was like, just bring onemore aliens.
Like, let's just see the get theshow on the road.
There's a lot of dialogue.

SPEAKER_01 (28:12):
Was that like an alien predators situation?

SPEAKER_06 (28:14):
Yeah, it was like the new alien show.
So there was kind of likealiens, but they came to Earth.
It was okay, but I don't Ihaven't finished it yet.
So I shouldn't say I like it ordislike it.
I just kind of I I I find Ihaven't watched a ton of TV this
year.
I love watching TV, it's like myfavorite thing to do, but it's
just I've been so busy.
I actually I'm a super geek andI I rate most of the things I
see on IMDV.
Nice as I so I canchronologically like no, but

(28:37):
like the shows that hit thehighest for me this year.
Um I wrote the question, so Iwas thinking I actually wanted
to do a little bit of homework.
So Dexter Resurrection, theybrought Dexter back.
Um, did you ever watch Dexter?

SPEAKER_01 (28:49):
I started Dexter, but for I couldn't finish it for
whatever reason.
Well, how far did you get?
Uh oh god, it's been a few yearsnow.
Maybe I'll have to revisit it.

SPEAKER_05 (28:59):
I personally like they had eight seasons of
Dexter.
I watched them all, except forthe newest one.

SPEAKER_07 (29:04):
Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_05 (29:05):
Um, I think they should have ended after season
four.

SPEAKER_01 (29:08):
Okay, well, now that I have a fully developed frontal
lobe, maybe I'll go back.
Rewatch one to four.

SPEAKER_06 (29:15):
The new one.
This was fantastic.
Uh, they had Peter Dinklage init as the big baddie, right?
And he was like a supereccentric billionaire in it.
He did a really good job.
Um, yeah, it was one of myfavorite shows.
It was just it was just pureentertainment.
Like they they they just knewhow to throw all the fun back,
they brought back all the oldcharacters.
So I just enjoyed the nostalgiaof it.

SPEAKER_01 (29:34):
I have heard good things about the the remake of
that uh and other than that,geez, I can't remember now.

SPEAKER_06 (29:38):
What else I watched?
Can't think of it now.
I just watched Andor.
I finished that Star Wars showthat took forever.
Yeah.
I liked it.
Yeah?
I really did.
Again, a lot of talking in thata lot of talking.

SPEAKER_05 (29:47):
Yeah.
I like shows where they justaction show where people fly
through space.
Let's just talk.
Three minutes of action.

SPEAKER_06 (29:54):
Same thing with aliens.

SPEAKER_05 (29:55):
We got all these crazy aliens.

SPEAKER_06 (29:56):
Let's just talk.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I guess that's uh that's That'sa new vibe going on.
Just a lot of talking.
And uh, you know, I kind of wantto see in watching the action
show, I want to see action.
Yeah.
Yeah.
That's true.

SPEAKER_01 (30:07):
What could so I did just finish um, since we're st
still talking about movies andTV, I just did watch a movie
that they made based off of abook that I read that I really
liked.

SPEAKER_02 (30:18):
Right on.

SPEAKER_01 (30:18):
And it was fine.
It was fine.

SPEAKER_02 (30:23):
It was fine.

SPEAKER_01 (30:24):
I was I was really the book or movie.
The book, uh, The Woman in Cabin10.

SPEAKER_02 (30:29):
Okay.

SPEAKER_01 (30:30):
And it's uh like a thriller like mystery author
that I really, really enjoy.
And this book was so popular.
The readers really wanted toknow what ended up happening to
the main character after thefact.
And they, you know, the fanswere sending her so many emails
that she actually wrote asequel, and it was the first
ever sequel that she wrote forany of her books.
So I was really excited for themovie to come out so that I

(30:50):
could kind of see it in reallife.
But they wrote or they ended upscripting the movie like they're
not going to continue like theseries, like how she wrote it.
So I found it okay.
Kira Knightley was the mainperson, so love her.
She did great.
No, she's awesome.
Yeah, but books always seem toprevail in those situations, I

(31:12):
find.

SPEAKER_06 (31:13):
More times than not, yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
You build the world in your headwhen you're reading a book
differently.
Yeah.
Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 (31:18):
My expectations are never anyone else's
expectations.

SPEAKER_05 (31:21):
I don't I don't read, I don't read anything
non-fiction or anything fiction.

SPEAKER_06 (31:24):
No, I don't read fiction much anymore either.
That's why we're we're so dulland boring.
Maybe that's it.

SPEAKER_01 (31:29):
A lot of self-help, maybe?

SPEAKER_05 (31:30):
No, just uh just maybe something.
I just like nonfiction.
I like to learn something andlike kind of like try to take it
away and things like that.
So it's like, yeah.
And I mean now it's like a lotof podcasts.
Obviously, I'm listening to alot of podcasts, but I'm also
listening to like audiobooks.

SPEAKER_06 (31:48):
Audiobooks.

SPEAKER_01 (31:49):
Yeah, that's a great way to get that info.

SPEAKER_05 (31:51):
Yeah, great for driving and stuff.
Really good for driving.

SPEAKER_01 (31:54):
Ooh, controversial question.
Do you consider listening to anaudiobook reading?

SPEAKER_06 (31:59):
Yeah.
Yeah, I do.
Really?
I mean, it uh I mean, you know,you have ADA I have ADHD.
I have a hard time sometimesstaying on the page or getting
through certain parts of a book,right?
If it's boring, I'm not sure.
Sometimes, yeah.
So it helps me push through thecontent that I can't get through
otherwise.
Right, yeah, right.
Truthfully, yeah.
So I do feel I consider it aform of reading.

(32:21):
Um, you know, it depends howwhat you're learning and absorb
absorbing of information styleis.
I can hear something and reciteit.
Yeah.
Um, I could read something andforget it almost just as
quickly, right?
So it depends.

SPEAKER_05 (32:33):
I'm I'm I'm actually uh I'm on the opposite.
I will fully uh because I alsolike you know, I'm the type of
person that it's like if you youknow when you make your choice,
like some people want like thebest of both worlds on many
topics.
And I sometimes think that likesometimes it's just like just
you make your choice, justaccept your choice.
And my ch like not whether it'sa choice or not, I struggle to

(32:56):
like sit down and actually reada book.
So I do like audiobooks, but Iwould say I don't consider it
reading.
Honestly, I don't think I thinkyou get I mean you're obviously
consuming content and you'reconsuming information.

SPEAKER_06 (33:07):
You don't see the words on the windshield when
you're driving.

SPEAKER_05 (33:10):
I don't have that option in my EV yet.
Just just wait until uh waituntil they've written.
Yeah, exactly.
Yeah, yeah.
But uh yeah, I don't I don'tconsider it reading, but I do
consider it really good in thesense that you're learning,
you're trying to open your mindto different things.
Um you're not you know braindead scrolling.

SPEAKER_07 (33:33):
Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 (33:33):
So I mean I I would say I don't I would never say I
read that book, uh, you know,like in low context if I listen
to it.
But what do you think?
I think it's great.

SPEAKER_01 (33:42):
I don't think it's read.

SPEAKER_06 (33:44):
So I'm just all alone on this.
It's okay.

SPEAKER_01 (33:46):
But no, that's okay, because I know a lot of people
feel differently about it.
Um I'm in the same boat as youbeing attention deficit
situation, and that's what likeI know the kinds of books that I
can and can't read.
So I'm with you on the fact thatsome books that have longer
chapters or tinier font orsomething like that.

SPEAKER_06 (34:03):
When a book's super dense where I don't understand
some of like the, you know, I Iread a book, I remember reading
a book about AI long time ago,um, and Ray Kurzwell, and I
couldn't understand half thestuff he was saying, right?
You know, so I had to read it,right?
Then research, you know, aparagraph or what the hell is he
talking about?
And then I'll be like, oh, andthen I could read the next
paragraph.
That's when reading is kind ofcool.

(34:25):
Yeah, like uh, but when it'sstuff that I can just understand
and digest easily my mind, thenthen audio is the best option, I
feel.

SPEAKER_00 (34:34):
Yeah, yeah.
Cool.

SPEAKER_06 (34:35):
Yeah, so no no token for you.
What?
No, no, that dude takes like apage to talk about a ham
sandwich.
It's ridiculous, and I I can'tstand that kind of writing.
Yeah, that's that his kind ofwriting.
I I bought the the Game ofThrones books and I was so mad.
Oh, that's uh Tolkien.
That's Arthur Martin.
Yeah, I know, but same crapthough.
What who who's reading that?

SPEAKER_01 (34:56):
Fan fantasy series a lot like that, I find a lot of
people, yeah, world bestsellerwho's reading that very popular.

SPEAKER_06 (35:03):
They're majorly popular.
I know.

SPEAKER_05 (35:05):
Not only are they reading it, but they will like
have it memorized.
And if you describe anything onthat gauntlet wrong, yeah, they
will call you on it.

SPEAKER_06 (35:12):
Yeah, uh no, I can't read that stuff.

SPEAKER_01 (35:14):
Don't come for Mike in the comments.
Yeah, actually, please do.

SPEAKER_06 (35:18):
Yeah, get those get those engagements up and just
true.
Call them out.

SPEAKER_03 (35:22):
Yeah, yeah.
Bring your bring your fierytorches.

SPEAKER_06 (35:25):
I might, I might, I still haven't finished the Lord
of the Ring movies.
I still gotta finish the thirdone.
Yeah, they're so good.
I hate golem so much.
I know people like them, butyou're not supposed to like
them.
Yeah, but I don't mean like Ihate him in the fact like, oh,
that's a great villain.
I'm like, oh, this guy'sannoying.
That's the point.
When I turn on the third movieand I realize, oh, this movie's
now 80% golem or whatever, likeI didn't even I didn't even

(35:48):
finish it.
I was like, okay, I don't wantto see this character.

SPEAKER_05 (35:51):
You're gonna love it.
He dies, does he?

SPEAKER_06 (35:54):
I never saw that part.
I never saw one part.
I just saw like I just saw likethe first.

SPEAKER_03 (35:59):
And if anyone thinks that that's a spoiler.
Sorry, it's been out for ahundred years.
Yeah, and the book's been outfor like a hundred.
So yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_06 (36:08):
It should have been caught up back.
I I didn't know.
I uh maybe I'll I'll go watchthe second half.
Now he's motivated.
I just started watchingrewatching The Godfather,
though.
That's a fantastic movie.
Best movie ever made.
Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_01 (36:17):
Time to revisit some old classics, I think.

SPEAKER_06 (36:19):
Yeah, that's an old one.
That's 70, 1970 or 19?
No, late 70s.
Gosh, before I was born, it wasa great movie.
Late 70s.

SPEAKER_05 (36:26):
Yeah.
Greatest movie ever made.
Yeah.
Well, it's real.
Godfather one, Godfather 2.
Yeah.
Godfather three, steep drop.
Yeah.

SPEAKER_06 (36:33):
Yeah.
Well, the horse scene, dude.
I mean, that is such a greatscene of that movie.
Do you know the horse scene?

SPEAKER_00 (36:39):
No, I don't think so.

SPEAKER_06 (36:40):
Uh well, the head and the head.
He basically, yeah.
This guy has a horse and uh he'syou know basically doesn't want
to negotiate with a godfather.
He wakes up with the horse'shead in his bed.
Yeah.
And I mean, it's a good it'sstill uh still like a HBO scene
today.
Like, you know what I mean?
It will that was like the firstshow movie ever that felt like
an HBO kind of modernizing,amazing, like if like there's so

(37:04):
it's so well written.

SPEAKER_05 (37:05):
Yeah, like there's some scenes in there and they
talk about justice andeverything, and it's so
interesting and it makes forreally great talking points.
Like um there's the in theopening scene.
The opening scene.
The opening scene where he'swith the the funeral director is
like his his daughter, I don'tknow, got sexually assaulted or
something like that.
And uh he's like, Godfather, youknow, I want you to do something
about it.
This guy did this to my poordaughter, blah blah blah.

(37:26):
And uh he's like, Okay, likewhat do you want me to do?
And he's like, Oh, well, and heand he whispers in his ear, and
basically you assume he whisperslike I want you to kill him.
And he says, That I can't do.
And he's like, Well, he's like,I want like whatever.
He's like, I want he's like,What do you want?
He's like, I want justice.
He's like, That's not justice.
He says, Your daughter is stillalive, which leads to a really

(37:47):
interesting dialogue, weirdmoral dilemma of like yes, she
is still alive.

SPEAKER_06 (37:53):
Obviously, the emotion is the like you want to
kill that person, and also hisown like how pissed off he is at
the beginning of that movie thatlike he didn't really get any
respect from this guy before,but you're here now kind of
deal, right?
Like it was almost like hedidn't kiss the ring, so the man
literally kisses his hand andand kind of pays his respects
and then he singles to carry outthe job, right?

SPEAKER_05 (38:11):
I know it's such a cool, it's such a it's such an
interesting movie.
And like and the scene with AlPacino and with Diane Keaton
just passed away.
So there's a scene with DianeKeaton and and Al Pacino when he
talks about like uh DianeKeaton's dating him.
They're new, like friend they'reat the wedding, again, kind of
opening scene kind of thing.
And he says, uh he tells DianeKeaton's character like what his

(38:33):
father does, like right there,and she's like shocked because
he said um, you know, uh theywant to sign the singer, and uh
this singer said, I want to getout of my contract.
They tried, they went and talkedto him and said, Hey, we want
you to sign this contract sayingthat you're releasing the singer
from the hint so we can sign himfor something else.
And the guy said, Nope, hesigned the contract, it's mine.

(38:54):
And he goes, and my father, hegoes, he sent Luca Brazzi over
there, and he said, Either yoursignature or your brains are
gonna be on that sign on thatpiece of paper.
Yeah, and he goes, That's a truestory.
And I was like, Take that.
And just how how he deliveredthat, he was like, That's a true
story, and it's like chilling.
Yeah, good movie.
Best movie ever made.

SPEAKER_06 (39:13):
Yeah, what's one of your favorite movies?

SPEAKER_01 (39:16):
Of all time, yeah.
Um well, you want to know what?
There's very few movies that Ican actually re-watch and enjoy.
Okay, and I'm a lot like that.
The the James Bond movie, um ohgosh.
Uh Skyfall.

SPEAKER_06 (39:36):
That was good.

SPEAKER_01 (39:37):
For whatever reason, I can watch that over and over
again.
I never seen that one.

SPEAKER_06 (39:42):
Oh, that's like one of the most recent ones, right?

SPEAKER_01 (39:44):
Yeah.

SPEAKER_06 (39:46):
Is it the most recent one?

SPEAKER_01 (39:47):
No, no, no, no, it's probably three back.

SPEAKER_06 (39:49):
Okay.
Yeah, probably yeah, two orthree.
I tried to go back andchronologically watch them, and
I got through the Conry filmsfine, and then they had another
guy come in and then I kind offell off.
Roger Moore, two or three more.
Yeah, I don't know.
I fell off somewhere.

SPEAKER_01 (40:02):
I have like they're hilarious.
I have like the the box set.

SPEAKER_06 (40:05):
What's so good about Skyfall?

SPEAKER_01 (40:09):
I I you know what?
I think just I mean, it's long,so I mean there's bits in it
that I forget every time Ire-watch it, but I don't know.
Daniel Craig just killed it.
Adele like did the soundtrackfor it.
Like there's just so many bitsto it that like who's the baddie
in that one.

SPEAKER_06 (40:24):
I can't remember the character.
Is it uh is it the guy thatplayed the theatre?
Is it Queen?
Is he the one that's in thatone?
Or not Queen, the guy thatplayed Freddie Mercury in the
Queen movie?
Oh is it the same guy?
I just forget his name as anactor.

SPEAKER_01 (40:38):
Oh yeah, he's incredible.

SPEAKER_05 (40:39):
He's he's the villain in the Raymond.
I can't remember if that's theone he's in.
I I remember I saw it in thetheaters, Skyfall.
The thing that I took away themost with it was how like
ruthless James Bond was in thatmovie.
Oh yeah.
Oh yeah?
Oh yeah, just ruthless.
It's kind of cool.

SPEAKER_01 (40:55):
Yeah, I really check it out.
Yeah, yeah, cool.
Would recommend.

SPEAKER_06 (40:58):
Yeah.
What about you over there, Mr.
Bambi guy?

unknown (41:01):
Bambi.

SPEAKER_06 (41:02):
No, no, no, it's a good movie.
Um, I don't know.
I I I mean, uh yeah, I'm likeyou, I don't like rewatching
movies a lot.
Um the one I liked this yearthat I saw I I'm gonna have to
play the fifth.
I can't really think of oneright now.
Oh, you know what one I reallyliked was uh the substance.
Did you guys see that?
No.
I don't know.
It had uh Demi Moore in it.

(41:22):
Oh it had her in where she couldfind this way, like she was
getting older and she was um umbasically losing her position as
like this like kind of um uhaerobics television like mogul.
But she found a way that shecould start injecting herself
with this stuff that would makeher super young again, right?

(41:43):
But it would also turn into anew monster, right?
And she started growing defectsand all this stuff.
It's a lot of death becomes her.
Remember that?
Yeah, man.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
It's kind of on that thing, butuh way more grotesque and way
crazier.
I thought it was it came outlast year, actually.
It was just an option, it waskind of recent.
I thought it was one of thebetter movies I saw last year,

(42:03):
and uh I absolutely loved it.
Oh, it's fantastic, it'shorrifying and funny at the same
time, if that makes sense, butuh it's really well done.

SPEAKER_01 (42:12):
I love freakish movies.

SPEAKER_06 (42:14):
Yeah, it's really freaky.
Yeah, but aside from that, yeah,I like happy stuff.
Yeah, mostly I just like happy.
Let's move into music.
Let's talk about like some ofthe best music.
Ooh, okay.
You want to go first?
Yeah, go for it.
Okay, uh, so uh um clips.
Uh I love the new clips albumthis year.
Uh they're a rap group that Ilove since I was a little kid
and they put out a new album.
Uh one of the guys left and cameback.

(42:35):
He left to be a minister andcame back to the group.
Those two rappers actually endedup performing at the Vatican
this year.
Oh, really?
It's kind of crazy.
Only one of their songs becausethe rest of them are way too
explicit.
So but they had they had areally like touching song,
actually, where the they bothhad lost their mother and father
within the same year, within areally short time frame, and

(42:57):
their brothers, right?
Uh Pusha T and Malice arebrothers, the two two guys.
And um Yeah, so one wrote averse about his mom, and the
second verse is about the dad,and they lived apart, but they
died really close to oneanother.
Wow.
And it's kind of a reallybeautiful rap, right?
You know, and it's quitereligious as well.
So I could see why they wait,they picked that song and not
the song after.

(43:19):
The song after about cokedealing, they did not pick.
Yeah.
Uh uh, but uh, but you know,it's a good album through and
through.
It was like a return to formwith like the Neptunes and a lot
of these great producers thatthese guys came from.
These dude guys were fromVirginia, right?
So they're pretty unlikely rapduo.
Um, so that one was fantastic.
And the other one that Iabsolutely loved was um on the
complete other side of thing.

(43:40):
I'm listening to it right now.
His name is Country Guy,Country.
Tyler Childers.
So Tyler Childers is a countryguy with a really cool voice,
um, and kind of the realoutlawish twang.
And uh he actually had his lastthis album most recently
produced by Rick Rubin, who'sone of my favorite producers and
you know, uh moguls.

(44:01):
I think he's just a Rick Rubin,who's a really fascinating guy,
and he put out some someamazing, an amazing album this
year.
So I'm listening to like therappiest of rap and the
countryest of country uhsimultaneously, and I'm having a
great time.

unknown (44:14):
Okay.

SPEAKER_01 (44:14):
Life is all about balance.

SPEAKER_06 (44:16):
Oh, yeah.

SPEAKER_01 (44:16):
That's wonderful.
I know nothing about country.

SPEAKER_07 (44:19):
No.

SPEAKER_01 (44:19):
I went to Cavendish years ago, and then there was a
hurricane, and my tent blewdown, and my friends took off
with my car, and I didn't know.
And I good friends.
I think, yeah, I think I cameback from that and was like, I
think I'm good actually.
So that's your countryexperience.
That's my country experience.

SPEAKER_05 (44:38):
Yeah, yeah.
I honestly mean for me, like amusic right now, I'm like
completely brain dead of likewhen it comes to like best in
music, because right now my sonis heavily in to Nightmare
Before Christmas.
So that is all I listen to.
Oh, yeah.
The soundtrack.

SPEAKER_01 (44:55):
That's incredible.
That's not gonna be.

SPEAKER_05 (44:57):
That's not as bad as Frozen.
No, he doesn't know.
Um no, listen, I sing along.
I I I enjoy it, but it's justit's like there's it's every
once in a while.
I'm kind of like, hey bud, likecan we listen to something else?
It gets to you after a while.
It it it's yeah, so like you cansneak in a couple things here,
like um, you know, it'sHalloween and he's all pumped
about it, so it's like, hey bud,you want to listen to like a
different Halloween song?

(45:17):
He's like, Yeah, so I put onlike thriller, yeah.
So it's yeah, I try to sneak afew ones in there that are
different, like whatever.
But uh I put in the zombie isone of my favorite songs like
ever.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, cranberries, yeah.
And so I put that on there, andeven though it has nothing to do
with zombies, it says the wordzombies and he's four.
So guess what?
He doesn't know that's about theIrish conflict.

(45:39):
It's a Halloween song.
Oh, that's awesome.
So yeah, that's where my life isright now.

SPEAKER_06 (45:44):
Crazy went from Taylor Swift to Nirvana and Foo
Fighters and and Green Day, allthe great 90s fans.
Very impressive.
So we're having an awesome yearfrom music in the car.
It's really actually it'sNirvana's actually getting a
little annoying though.
Because I'm like, they areannoying.
There's like way more other thanNirvana.
Please stop playing justNirvana, right?
And I'm like, because there usedto be Taylor Swift, it was
Taylor Swift for two years.

(46:05):
I I've I've put my time in withold T Swift, yeah.
Big time, right?
I I she has zero interest in thenew album, though, thank god.

SPEAKER_05 (46:13):
Do you know what?
Do you know what Elvis, Nirvana,and Taylor Swift all have in
common?
You don't like them?
Uh that's not what I would say.
Yeah.
Um but I would put them in thecategory of probably, in my
opinion, some of the mostoverrated musicians of all time.
Oof.
All time.

SPEAKER_06 (46:31):
That's that's harsh.
I I don't uh said harsh.
I just said overrated.
I didn't say they suck.
Overrated is a harsh statement.
No, it's not.
Matt, if I said you wereoverrated, you would be pretty
like if if people were like, oh,Matt's a great guy, I'd say,
nah, he's overrated.
Like you would be like, ouch,that hurts more than saying I'm
a terrible person.
Matt is not a legend amonglegends.
Well, maybe you are in yourcommunity until somebody calls

(46:54):
you overrated, right?
Like, so if someone said, likethe coolest guy in I don't know
where you live.

SPEAKER_03 (47:01):
Prospect.
I didn't want to say it.

SPEAKER_06 (47:03):
I was just being stupid.
Um the coolest guy in Prosper.
Someone says, No, he'soverrated.
He's not that great.

SPEAKER_05 (47:08):
I could accept that.

SPEAKER_06 (47:09):
You could be accept that.
I'd probably be okay with thattoo, I guess.
Yeah, exactly.
Yeah.
I I don't know how Taylor Swiftwould take that.
My she's a megastar, man.
I'm not gonna be what do youthink of Taylor Swift?

SPEAKER_01 (47:18):
I'm not a Swifty.
Not a Swifty.
I was a fan of her when she didcountry when we were 16 and she
was like teardrops on my guitar.
Like I was I was fully envelopedin that, you know, teen drama,
wish you know, my life wasdifferent, or wish this boy
liked me, or whatever.
Like I was all into that.
But then as it went on, and Iheard this kind of a really a

(47:42):
really neat take on Taylor Swiftrecently, of course, with the
new album and everything out.
But there's like such a clearline when it became less about
the art and more about thebusiness.
And my issue now is and don'tcome for me for saying this, but
my issue now is like I wouldlove to see her like be like a

(48:07):
teammate or like be part of thecommunity, or like I'd love to
see her take like a billion ofher dollars and like do
something with it.
You know what I mean?
Like, why are you releasing analbum and you have 28 remixes of
the album and like some likesome business decisions like
strategically putting out analbum at this time to like block

(48:30):
you know viewership for anotherartist that's putting out an
album?
And it's just it's not to me,it's not about the art anymore.
To me, it's all about thebusiness and the money, and that
just doesn't really interest me.

SPEAKER_05 (48:40):
I I I would say I don't know enough about her um
because I just uh because I justI think she's fine.
I mean, obviously she'stalented, she could know guitar.
She yeah, you would, but shewrites her own music, so that's
good.
She, you know, plays her ownmusic, she has a she has a
decent voice.
I just think for the level offame that she has and the
command that she has, uh,because her people are a little
bit cultish.

SPEAKER_02 (49:01):
Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 (49:01):
Um I just think that that she's not as good to
deserve that.
Sure.
Well, and that's what I mean byoverrated.

SPEAKER_01 (49:07):
I also don't think anyone in this world is worth
that sort of cultish method.

SPEAKER_06 (49:12):
No, that's very that's the that's the catalyst,
that's the point.
I mean, the problem is there'sso many hardworking musicians
out there now, and I mean, youknow, music, I mean, music
should be driven from thecommunity, right?
So what what should happen is weshould you should find this cool
band downtown tonight, and yousay, Mike, this band's really
freaking cool.

(49:32):
You'd like them, yeah.
Right?
And I'd be like, Oh, wow, theyare cool.
Then I tell a few of my friends,and and and and and that's how
music has been for so long.
Completely with streamingservices, what's happening now
is our music uh focuses havebeen really narrowed, unless
we're very siloed.
So if I'm listening to weirdshit, it's gonna feed me more

(49:52):
weird shit because I'm in thatkind of algorithms around
algorithms, right?
But uh, if I'm listening tomainstream pop or Taylor Swift,
I'm not hearing a lot moreartists than just uh T Swift,
right?
So I think that's the problem,right?
But I don't I think I think youknow we we you know overrated
and stuff.
So unfairly, I think TaylorSwift put out uh folklore was a

(50:13):
really great record, probablythe only one I ever really
liked.
I like, but it was like it wasCOVID, and I think she recorded
in like a in a cottage orsomething, and I found it had
like a real kind of chill vibeto it.
So I liked it quite a bit.
But um good song, good, good.
She's a good lyric writer, she'san amazing musician, like
amazing.

SPEAKER_01 (50:31):
Oh yeah.

SPEAKER_06 (50:32):
So it's like the problem is is that we're you
know, we we we we'reoveremphasizing on on few now
more than we ever have before,right?
Like, you know, there's anotherguy like Bad Bunny.
It's like, you know, I'm notagainst Bad Bunny, but I don't
wanna I don't listen to any ofhis stuff.
I don't know, I can't name asong.
No, no, no.
I uh you know, and it's not likeI'm it's not like I'm old and

(50:55):
that's I'm an older guy, but I'mnot old in the sense that I've
lost a grasp of new and freshbecause I love new music, right?
Like so I'm always looking forit.
So it's like you know, it's likewhere's the where's the fun?

SPEAKER_01 (51:07):
Maybe maybe it's not the individuals that we have
something against, but it'severyone else around them.

SPEAKER_05 (51:12):
I think it's more that honestly.
I think it's more than right,and I really do.

SPEAKER_06 (51:18):
I think she seems like a nice person.
It goes back to as far asNirvana, right?
You know, Nirvana.
Nirvana's not a terrible band.

SPEAKER_05 (51:24):
Um people just love them way too much.

SPEAKER_06 (51:26):
And don't get me wrong, I am a Foo Fighters fan.

SPEAKER_05 (51:29):
So one third of that band, yeah, yeah, I think is one
of the greatest.
Like Dave Grohl, uh, take awayhis indiscretions, but Dave
Grohl's one of the greatestpeople in music, like I think
ever.
But I'm a huge hip-hop guy.

SPEAKER_06 (51:41):
And you know what?
People like you know, fond overTupac forever.
And I'm like, nah, he's not myfavorite rapper, not even by
like I wouldn't put him in mytop ten.
And it's not that I don't likeTupac.

SPEAKER_05 (51:50):
You wouldn't put Tupac in your top ten, no.
What?
No, didn't we record a podcastlike a year ago where you said
he was in your top five?
Oh, no way.
Well, look, play the tape back.

SPEAKER_06 (52:00):
Let's play the tape back.

SPEAKER_05 (52:01):
Which which episode were we?
A we had a pod A we have apodcast, or A we started a
podcast.

SPEAKER_06 (52:06):
Oh, he's in my top five.
Pretty sure you didn't.
We did the top five in that?

SPEAKER_05 (52:09):
Pretty sure we did, yeah.

SPEAKER_06 (52:09):
I said Tupac?

SPEAKER_05 (52:10):
I'm pretty sure, yeah.

SPEAKER_06 (52:11):
Yeah, well, maybe it changes.

SPEAKER_05 (52:12):
Yeah, I mean, you were allowed to change your
mind.

SPEAKER_06 (52:14):
No, no, but I I don't know if I'd put him in my
top ten.
I mean, I would probably becauseI'd probably go for more of the
New York guys, like who I'mlistening to today, right?
Diddy.
Not that that New York guy.
And we're off.
So so he so there's been somepeople you can banish people
from your Spotify, eh?
So if you don't want to hearthem on random anymore, so uh a

(52:36):
Diddy has been banished, and aswell as Kanye this year.
That's so you banished Conway.
I loved Kanye West for years,but he's a but I I just can't
support um you know, I mean, Iknow he has a mental illness,
right?
So I mean there's there's partthere's part of me that's like
kind of like okay, well, I getit.
Like, you know, you're you know,you're off your mitts, right?

(52:58):
Yeah, you know, but still likeChrist, dude, you can't be
saying that stuff, right?
Like you can't be anti Semitic,you can't be inciting hatred,
you can't be trying to when heput he put Harriet Tubman on his
betrayal list, yeah.

SPEAKER_01 (53:09):
I'm like, brother, what?

SPEAKER_06 (53:11):
No, well, like he's not making any sense anymore,
right?
And it's been a while too.
Yeah, it's been a while.
So I uh you know, yeah, you butyou and I had Taylor Swift
blocked for a while too, and thereason was is because Gracie
would just play her in my carnonstop, and I would be like,
dude, I need a break for TaylorSwift.
I was like, I don't know what'shappening, I guess she's gone.
Why is Taylor Swift not working?

(53:31):
Yeah, so so I banished a few.
Yeah, so Diddy's not thereanymore, right?

SPEAKER_01 (53:35):
Well, that's uh kind of backpedaling a little bit.
It's uh a huge reason why Ireally love going to festivals.
Yeah, like there's not manyartists will you'll where you'll
see me dish out you know,hundreds of dollars to go see
them for one show.
But I have seen a lot of artistsand paid a fraction of what

(53:55):
probably people would have seento see them individually.
Like that makes sense, and it'sbeen incredible experiences.
A couple years ago, I saw BillyEilish, I saw Kendrick Lamar, I
saw Fred again, all in the same24 hours.
And I was like, this isindividual.
Yeah, I was I was cooked at theend of it.
Where was that at Osiega?
Oh, nice.
Oh, you're Osaka.

(54:16):
Okay.
I'm an Osiega vet.
Nice.
I was there for like seven yearsor something in a room.

SPEAKER_05 (54:20):
My four-year-old loves bad guy.
Oh, yeah?
Loves it.

SPEAKER_01 (54:23):
Oh, it's a great, it's a great song.

SPEAKER_05 (54:25):
It's a it's a it is a cool song, but he just like
because again, he's four, sohe's like, he hears bad guy, so
he's like, haha, bad guy's likesuper villains.

SPEAKER_01 (54:32):
Well, and it is it is kind of a spooky song.

SPEAKER_05 (01:03:11):

restaurant down there that islike borderline getting it's the
the mystic.

SPEAKER_06 (01:03:19):
The mystic.

SPEAKER_05 (01:03:21):
And that's there's talk that it could be getting a
Michelin star.

SPEAKER_01 (01:03:24):
Oh my gosh, I forget that that one's even down there.
Well, and I'm also like Do youknow the Michelin stars?

SPEAKER_06 (01:03:28):
Okay, let me ask you this question.
Sure.
Okay.
I'm ready.
True or false?
The Michelin star guy is thesame as the Michelin tire guy.
False.
True.
What?

SPEAKER_05 (01:03:38):
No, it's then it's true.
Shut up.
Yeah.
Why?
Michelin invented the uh theMichelin guide as a way to get
people to drive more to usetheir tires more to weigh other
tires out.

SPEAKER_07 (01:03:48):
What?

SPEAKER_05 (01:03:49):
And so Michelin's crazy?
The Michelin star rating, onestar is like worth a stop, yeah,
two stars is like worth adetour, and three stops is worth
a trip.

SPEAKER_01 (01:03:58):
That's incredible.

SPEAKER_06 (01:03:59):
And now it's the most prestige prestigious thing
you can get for a restaurantlike the world.

SPEAKER_01 (01:04:03):
Well, I'm I'm just I'm I'm I'm locked on the fact
that, like, how come this guyfinding a rating for his tires
and also the entire way thatrestaurants have been built?
Why was that all formulated atthe same time?

SPEAKER_05 (01:04:14):
He just it was a brilliant, it was a brilliant
thing that the guy, the Michelinguy, was just like, how do we
get people to use their tiresmore?
And he was like, I'm gonna makea list of the best restaurants
that you have to eat.
And basically, like the biggerthe more stars you get, the more
you have to drive further to getto them.

SPEAKER_01 (01:04:31):
How did that oh, it translated to tires because
driving.

SPEAKER_05 (01:04:35):
Driving, yeah.
And so basically it's likegetting people to put extra
thousand kilometers of car ontheir tires.

SPEAKER_01 (01:04:41):
Wow, that's sneaky, and whoever that guy is, kudos
to you.

SPEAKER_06 (01:04:45):

but like he's, you know, asmaller name than like Bert.

SPEAKER_05 (01:12:00):
I think he's under I think he's under the radar.

SPEAKER_01 (01:12:02):
A lot of people don't get excited about him,
like he's so snappy.
He doesn't really like hisjokes.
Sometimes you're like, oh man,but like his whole presence
isn't about like you know beingmean or like anything like that.
He's he's an all-around greatdude.

I feel like he kind of startedthis like crowd work movement.

SPEAKER_05 (01:12:32):
I I I I kind of feel like uh I hate to say it, but I
kind of feel like Matt Reif isthe one who really kind of
popularized it.
I just think he's I just thinkthat the I just think that
that's his whole act, and everytime I've seen like, and I'm not
I mean to shit on the guybecause he has some funny things
and everything, but I feel likethat the crowd work thing is his
whole act, and I always laugh.

Yeah, I don't really laugh thatmuch at him.

SPEAKER_01 (01:12:55):
I didn't love his Netflix special, but his like
clips on TikTok I find funny.

SPEAKER_05 (01:12:59):
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So yeah, he's a good he's a goodclip guy, he is special.

Yeah, I mean he'll he'll sell out, he will a
hundred percent like he'llabsolutely he could sell out two

A little he's so industry.

SPEAKER_01 (01:13:17):
This probably isn't a secret, but last year they
added the second show because9,000 tickets sold out in less
than 48 hours.
So all the people online beinglike, Matt Reif, we don't want
to see you.
Hey, guess what?
Yeah, people do, and you knowwhat?

SPEAKER_06 (01:13:31):
And he's popular generationally as well.
That's when you can do comedyand you can appeal to you know,
uh, my demographic, an olderdemographic, and a younger
demographic, that's when you'rereally, you know, ch winning in
the terms of Charlie Sheenwinning.
Yeah, you've been all overCharlie Sheen.
I'm obsessed with thatdocumentary.

SPEAKER_06 (01:13:52):

Okay.

want to go back to and why?
That I never want to go back to.
You did something and he wasjust terrible.
Oh my god.
You did a thing and you're justlike, I never want to do that
again.
Could be like a sport.
Oh could be like could beanything.

SPEAKER_01 (01:14:11):
Oh, you're not talking about a specific place.

SPEAKER_06 (01:14:13):
It could be a place, it could be whenever you want.
If you traveled somewhere and itsucked.

SPEAKER_01 (01:14:19):
Can I be honest about London, England?
Sure.
Hey, what the heck is that placeabout?

SPEAKER_02 (01:14:24):
What do you mean?

SPEAKER_01 (01:14:25):
I feel like I went every single bar had the same
menu.

SPEAKER_06 (01:14:31):
Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 (01:14:31):
Yeah.
Welcome to London.

SPEAKER_06 (01:14:33):
Yeah, I think London is pretty yeah, I agree with
you.

SPEAKER_01 (01:14:36):
It was like everything was the same.

SPEAKER_06 (01:14:39):
And fish and chips.
But like, even like I'm surewhen you go further into London
past a tourist bit, you'dprobably get more variety, would
you not?

SPEAKER_01 (01:14:48):
I mean, maybe, but I feel like the restaurants even
had like I remember beingshocked because the the literal
menu, like same items, yes, buteven like the format and the
look of the menu was the exactsame at every single pub that we
went to.
And I was like, this just seemedlike what I'm sure that there
are beautiful places in andaround that area, but I wouldn't

(01:15:10):
probably never travel backthere.

SPEAKER_05 (01:15:11):
I I've never been to London outside of flying into
Heathrow.
Um, so I've never been there.
Uh, I would love to do a showthere because I think this it
very much the drinking culturethere.
I would love to do an afternoonplaintiff.
They're the original afternoonplaintiffs.

SPEAKER_00 (01:15:25):
Okay, I take it back.
If you make that trip, I'm onI'm coming.

SPEAKER_05 (01:15:29):
So that is something I'd like to do.
Yeah.
Um, but no, I I don't thinkanybody is like, oh yeah, the
you know, the UK is like, youknow, celebrated for their
culinary stuff.

SPEAKER_03 (01:15:39):
Like outside of like Gordon Ramsey, but Gordon Ramsey
went to Paris to learn how tocook.
Yeah, there's two sides of it.

SPEAKER_06 (01:15:43):
Like, so so with the time we spent in London, there
was you're absolutely right.
I didn't, from my ownexperience, and we we traveled
quite far, we we didn't see abunch of different variances in
food.
Um, but uh, you know, I did I II loved being there though.
It was a really cool spot, it'svery expensive too.
Um, London's a really expensiveplace, but like the difference
when you go from London to Parisin terms of variety of like

(01:16:07):
foods and options, you're justlike, whoa.

SPEAKER_01 (01:16:10):
Yeah.
Right?
It's quite mind-blowing.
And I care so much about food.
Like to me, like the food anddrink experience is like so a
huge part of life.

SPEAKER_06 (01:16:19):
I mean, sometimes we take for granted how amazing
Halifax is because we have somuch variety here.

SPEAKER_01 (01:16:24):
Absolutely growing heavily, yeah.

SPEAKER_06 (01:16:25):
It's growing over the last eight, uh, like it's
probably not always been thatway.
I mean, unless you're fromSpritefield and you got just
pizza, yes, you know, or 19variations of pizza places.
Yes.
But uh, but you know, but likedowntown, I mean, gosh, there's
a lot of variety.
There's so many great options,and they're so well made here,
right?
So we're a little spoiled.

SPEAKER_01 (01:16:44):
I have a hard time now hearing people being like,
oh, Halifax sucks.
Like, I want to leave, like Iremember growing up hearing that
so often, and I'm like, thatnever really made sense to me.
And like, especially now thesedays, I'm like, no wonder we
have way too many people.

SPEAKER_06 (01:16:57):
I don't feel Halifax sucks.

SPEAKER_01 (01:16:59):
No, I don't, I don't think that way at all.
I love it here.

Uh, what do you think will bethe biggest change in the world
in the next hundred years?

How is everyone supposed to likekeep their brains?

Technology.

SPEAKER_05 (01:17:42):
Some sort of meta device.

SPEAKER_01 (01:17:44):
Yeah, well, that's that's what I mean.
Like we'll be enclosed in aglass case and our brain is
going to be outside of our body.

Laugh and roll in the face.

That's really funny.
Um, I mean, like, ideally, I'dlove to be like, well, I'd like
to sit down and have a strategicconversation and just like, you
know, really communicateclearly.
And that is what I believeshould happen.

(01:18:24):
You know, I uh I went to schoolfor communications.
I feel like I can write a goodemail, I can, I can speak well
when it comes to havingdiscussions with people, but
really I get nervous.
Oh I get I do when it when Iwhen I have to, you know,
express my feelings in aboutsomething that like isn't

(01:18:49):
popular or maybe isn't like ifI'm directly speaking to someone
about like, oh hey, like you didthis and I hate it.
Obviously that's not the waythat I would say it, but I I
really I'm a people pleaser.
So I have a really, really hardtime telling people that they've
upset me.

SPEAKER_05 (01:19:07):
Wow.

Is I love telling people to doupset me.
I love conflict.

like when I'm done with someone,I just kind of like it's it's

intuition or whatever else, likeit's like when you do a test and
you're doing multiple choice,and the first answer that you
