Speaker 1 (00:03):
What would you talk about on your on your podcast
firms show. You know, something I'm noticing about our show
is we cover a lot of ground quickly and then
we move on, never to go back again. And I
think that's a mistake because, for instance, today on the show,

(00:24):
on the radio show, we were talking about some of
our favorite movies and series to a watch and stream
on Netflix and Amazon Prime and all that kind of stuff.
And then by the end of the hour we were
talking about talking about all this stuff, it just disappeared
out of my head, never to be heard from again.
I want to revisit those things. For instance, I know
Andrew was telling me actually on the phone yesterday. Yes,

(00:46):
my assistant Andrew. Everyone, Okay, so you saw this. This
show is on Netflix. Yes, how many? How many parts?
Four episodes, they're only about an hour each and it's
called Unnatural Selection. Yes, we talked about this on Friday.
I haven't seen it, but yes, about genetic engineering. I

(01:08):
had plans on Sunday. I purposely like canceled my plans
just to stay in and finish it. Unnatural Selection. Okay,
give us a little a little over overview of what
it is. So it's a documentary series about gene editing,
which is like a real thing happening. Crisper machines basically
they can go in and fix something wrong with your DNA.

(01:30):
So it deals with like, oh, designer babies in the future,
picking what eye color you might want, or or basically
selecting what you believe to be wrong in your DNA exactly,
which is probably where the controversy. And it's a big
controversy too because it deals with bio hacking, which sounds
like really cool and extreme, but it's like, as we
keep making advancements in medicine, it's about where where it goes. Like,

(01:54):
if you could take it into your own hands a
cure for cancer, why can't you do it before a
medicine company does it. So it's putting the power back
in people's hands. And people are able to get their
own Crisper machines for like a hundred fifty bucks online,
So the cure for cancer could be made by someone
in their garage. Now, okay, But on the other side, well,
what if you find out that your child, uh is gay? Yeah,

(02:16):
well I don't want that from your child. I'll just
go ahead and wipe that out. So true and there's
so many ethical decisions behind it. And it's not just
with humans either. Like if ticks, for example, I don't
know what purpose ticks serve, but they can create mice
that if a tick bites the mouse, it'll kill out
the entire tick population. So then that can help the environment.
Like we like that, But do we because don't takes

(02:38):
exist for a reason? Exactly? Get that whole issue too. Okay,
what what reason? Do takes exist because spreadline disease? No? No,
this is not good. No, possums I think eat it
like it's a crucial part to some animals, like diet.
Possums eat like a billion takes a minute for something.
Maybe maybe exaggerating, but it was fascinating. Well, they're not
at one possums, then I'm not like, I'm willing to

(03:00):
give up post. And if we can give up takes,
we have a very big ticket problem in our house.
Alex can't sleep at night thinking of ticks. But okay,
so the issue with the series you're talking about, which
is once again and called unnatural selection. Natural selection one
of the good things that can be accomplished through being
able to edit Jeanes versus the controversial things that we

(03:21):
shouldn't have control over. Yeah. So that deals with this
seven or eight year old who can't see. He's has
a super rare eye disease that shows up and it's
making him blind, and they came out with a vaccination
for his eyes, and you find out throughout the series
is the shot going to work? Is it going to take?
But I mean not spoiler alert, but the kid can

(03:42):
see at the end. So you went from having a
blind child to now having a kid that can be
able to see, Like, that's there. I know, it's it's incredible,
but you're afraid of what where could lead because you're
at a point in history which was the most like
my biggest takeaway. He's standing in a museum and you're
seeing all these like eletinsive animals, like this is the
first time in history ever that we can actually stop

(04:05):
natural selection and choose where we're going next. Or so
we think, yeah, all right, I want to see this again.
The name of it sec Netflix, Netflix. Alright. So Garrett
worlses in Today and says, I saw the scariest movie
I've ever seen in a long time. Eli Eli, about
a little kid who is dying. His parents move him

(04:26):
to this place where it's supposed to cure him, and
he's like a bubble boy. They don't know why he's
he's dying from the inside. They find this place where
they think it's going to help cure him, but in reality,
he sees a ghost that no one else could see
that is pretty much killing him from withinside. And he's
trying to explain that to his parents, but they they're like,

(04:48):
you're crazy. You're saying it's no. Is it scary from
like blood and guts and gore? Or is a psychological psychological?
But here's what's happening. I started reading about this this morning.
Are you giving okay? No, After people have watched this,
they start seeing demons after they watched the show. Now,
what's a demon exactly? They start seeing demons. They start
seeing people that they think are there but are not,

(05:10):
like a ghost. I guess, So what do I want
to do this? Do I want to see demons? For me?
I'm not going to watch that. I needed I need
to test it. I see enough of those. Are my
sleep paralysis state? No, thank you, I'm looking at right now.
I've got straight name. Okay, So on the list scary,
what do you have. Um. I haven't seen the Dave
Chappelle Sticks and Stones yet, but I watched it last night.

(05:31):
What did you think of it? Uh? It definitely is
very raw. I'm all about it though. That's okay. We'll
wait till you see it then come back. And my
girlfriend tried to get me into interior design spaces and
I was like a masters into the interior design masters.
They're all competing for a contract for some from some
hotel in London. At all these interior design people. She
loves that stuff, the home building, the better homes like.

(05:53):
That's the thing about those shows. It's brainless TV. We
watched an entire marathon on log cabin families, people who
like to buy log cabins, and they're buying log cabins.
But we watched it for eight hours. How much can
you take of that? I don't know. What do you have?
A Gandhi? So the last thing I watched was actually
the breaking bad movie El Camino. I've heard it's not

(06:16):
that good. I did not like it. I wanted to
like it so badly. It was very different than what
I expected it to be. Maybe if people were expecting
it to be that it was great, but I don't
want to give anything away. I know a lot of
people are still watching it. I just was very disappointed
because I loved Breaking Bad and I wanted so much
from it, and I waited to watch it. Alex and
his mom watched it and they were like, that's exactly

(06:37):
how I felt. It was over, and I was like, Oh,
have you seen anything special there? Straight? And I actually
started watching something on Netflix, Living with Yourself, the Paul
Rudd comedy. Have you guys seen this? I haven't, but
I saw the first episode and the premises. He's a
very depressed guy. His life isn't going where he wants
it to, and he runs across someone that says, hey,
go to this spa for fifty dollars, They'll give you

(06:58):
the life you want. And that's the very first episode,
and something happens at the end of that episode where
you realize, Wow, they really had to do something in
order to give this guy the life you wanted. Um,
I'm only one through. I am not sold on it.
I'm I'm giving it about a six. We'll see what
happens with the episode number two. But I do want

(07:19):
to watch that unnatural selection that you were talking about
as soon as we go home. It is fascinating and
you will be like it's It's the only thing I
wanted to watch, and now it's the only thing I've
been thinking about. And my friends a doctor, so I've
been like, what's true in this and what's not? Please
tell me I shouldn't be terrified? All right? At these
all to my list? And there was another see. I
watched Succession, which has been around for a while, and

(07:40):
not just watched season two. Succession was great. I enjoyed
the characters a lot I would and I can't wait
for season three now, Ali know what love stories? What's
the name of the Modern Love on Amazon? Fine? Modern
Love on Amazon Prime. Everyone says, once you start watching it,
you get hooked. It was so good. I ended up
watching six episodes of eight last night. They're thirty minutes

(08:00):
each and the first episode is so good you'll be crying,
but like in a good way. Modern Yeah. No, it
comes back on Amazon November one. Jack Ryan, Yes he's
so tall, but but but the writing is great. That

(08:21):
that thing. Another show All of Us that I watched
as well too. If you're into like the Law and
Orders of the World, it's called unbelievable. It's about these
girls who go through a traumatic experience and the police
don't believe them except for one person, and all these
cold cases of of murder and rape that happened all

(08:42):
get linked together and finally, uh, you know, people try
to solve them and it's super intriguing. Okay, So okay, unbelievable. Yep,
Modern Love. You know Sam had one too. I can't
find her. What is her way? Where is she? She's running?
She was in a meeting. How do you disappear in
this building? Like, tell me who I Am? Oh? There
she is? Yes, I believe it was, and I saw

(09:03):
the trailer for that once, but then I chose on. Okay, well,
now they're saying, tell me Who I Am? Is a
heartbreaking story about two brothers. One of them, uh, experiences amnesia.
I do believe here she is? Would you hurry? We're
live on our podcast. Hello, what about us? I'm sorry
I didn't know that. Okay, we're talking about shows we

(09:24):
need to be watching, So tell me Who I Am? Go. Yeah.
It's a new Netflix movie doc put out by two
brothers who are going through the craziest experience because one
of them had an accident and lost his memory up
at like nineteen years old, and it came out and
the only thing he remembered was his twin brother. That's it,
and that's the tip of the iceberg. The story after

(09:46):
that is actually what it starts to get wild. It's heavy.
Did you guys see the documentary movie about the triplets
Identical Strangers on Hulu? Thank you. I was just going
to mention that he's three guy, These these three kids
who were dire actually very famous. These triplets born here
in the New York area and they were separated at birth. Yeah.

(10:08):
It was a Jewish adoption center was doing these tests
on triplets and twins to see how they would grow
nature versus nurture. Like super interesting. See that based on
Scotty be unbelievable, but she just ruined what happened. No, no, no,
there's a three Identical Strangers, you know. Yeah, Three identical Strangers,
and the twists and turns in this thing are just

(10:31):
pretty amazing. It's it used to not be available like
for free, but now you can watch it for free
on Hulu. Yeah, so once again, it's Three Identical Identical
Strangers on Hulu. Make sure you watch it. Yes, straight name.
A lot of times you can tell what people are
watching by going to Wikipedia and seeing which articles people
are reading, because a lot of times it will be
something like a Crisper, and you'll go to Wikipedia and
see everybody's reading about crispers. And I remember I watched

(10:54):
something on There was a there was a movie on
Netflix that came out about Body and Clyde, and all
the time, it's like the number one research thing on
Wikipedia is because people wanted to know did Bonnie and
Clyde actually do this stuff? So go check out Wikipedia
every once in a while you'll see what people are watching.
Of another good one if you guys are in the
Halloween spirit, it's called nine two and it's another Netflix original,

(11:17):
and it is so good. It's like an old school
kind of horror movie. It reminds me of like Edgar
Allan Poe meets Stephen King, but it's new. It's very cool. God,
you know, here's the thing which is so great. There's
so much there's an overabundance of content to watch, and
there is and I was there was a therapist talking
about this on some show the other day and he

(11:38):
was saying that there is this fear of missing out,
feeling the equivalent of that with programming. You want to
watch but you just don't have time, and you get frustrated,
you get mad. My first thought was, where is everyone
finding the time to watch the TV? I love it.
I want to watch all of these things. I just
don't think there's going to be a time for me
to watch all of it. I do think I should
be able to sue Netflix though, for some shows to

(11:59):
get my life back, likewise, like what If? What If?
It is? It has uh Renee's l wigger in it,
and it's about morality and you know, choosing right and wrong,
and it's just so bad. I watched the whole thing
just hoping it would be good, and I want to
sue Netflix. There's one that's been sitting in my cue.
It's a hip hop evolution. I haven't gotten around to

(12:20):
seeing it every every day, every Sunday or whatever. Every
chance I get, I'm like, I want to see this,
and I never get to watch to watch this is
another thing he's not gonna watch. It's chronicles like the
evolution from the seventies through like the nineties of hip hop.
But I never get a chance to sit down with it.
Sometimes I'll just listen to TV shows as like almost

(12:41):
like podcasts. I'll put them like on my computer and
I'll minimize them and i'll work and if it's something
really interesting, i'll like open it up and watch for
a little bit. But for the most part, I just listen. Hey. Um,
So yesterday I did a taping uh dr oz. It
was about mental health and it was a power a
discussion with me and Charlotta Magne the God and Delilah.

(13:03):
Al Right, now, Delilah as in radio just like us,
Delilah told me during a commercial break. And by the way,
this show runs Friday of this week, Delilah told me
she has not watched TV in twenty three years. So
got to you gotta keep in mind what has shifted
and what has changed in the way we watch content

(13:23):
on TV in the past twenty three years. So when
it comes to the Netflix is of the world and
streaming and bening these concepts, she really doesn't know them firsthand.
She's keep busy reading letters though from listeners she's look,
Delilah does really well. But I was thinking about, Look,
if she hadn't watched TV in five years, that's one

(13:45):
thing but twenty three years. That goes back to a
time where we we had cable channels, but nowhere near
as many as we have now, maybe a quarter. But
look at how things have changed in twenty three years
as far as what we're watching and you have access
to on your phone. It gives me less patience. I'm
becoming more of a spoil I really want person, coming

(14:06):
more of a spoiled person. I don't have to wait
and line up my schedule to see a show I
want to see that comes out once a week like
it used to be. And Delia has a lot of kids.
She she adopts kids and raises them and she's a
great mom. And I'm like, I'm thinking, what do they
do if they're not watching TV? Because they're not watching
TV either. She's like, well, they're up swimming and hiking
and riding horses, playing with the zebra on their farm.

(14:29):
They have a zebra on their farm. I wasn't allowed
to watch TV till I was fifteen, and I don't
feel like I missed out on anything. Until everyone starts
talking about remember list when we were a little I'm like, nah,
I don't. Sorry. Well, we've covered a lot of shows
today a lot of stuff. Do you remember them? No?
No no? If we can do we label these podcasts?

(14:49):
Can we put on all the show titles on the label?
Thank you? All right? I like today's podcast. That was great.
