(00:00):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kellyon demand from KFI AM six forty six
forty. It's Later with mo KellyTuesday Night. We're live everywhere on the
iHeartRadio app. And joining us instudio is Chris Woolsey Chicken Soup for the
Soul Entertainment. Chris, my brother. It's always good to see you.
How you been. I've been well. How about you. I've been doing

(00:22):
all right. I follow you onInstagram and you're always gallivanting around the world.
I like to see the travels ofyou, your family and all the
things that you do. We've hada busy couple of weeks. Yes,
yes, yep. We had awedding and then my wonderful nephew got married
up in Sacramento, and a fewdays before my mom decided to take a

(00:48):
flying leap and unfortunately broke her hip. Oh I'm running for hip surgery.
So we were juggling Mom in thehospital and a wedding that was getting put
on. So it was a busyweek, event filled, yes, that
it is. But Mom pulled throughlike a champ outstanding. Everything's great,
all right, all right. Outsideof that, you also probably try to
take in some movies every now andthen, be it streaming or in the

(01:11):
theaters, But what do you find. Put it this way, my desires
usually change with the seasons as weget closer to summer. Definitely in spring,
I want more action, more adventure, things of that nature. Yes,
blockbusters definitely are on my summer dancecard for sure, yep. But

(01:34):
it doesn't seem like there are alot of summer blockbusters on the horizon and
definitely not big movies in theaters.I mean, there's Fall Guy, but
I don't know how big that isgiven its lackluster first weekend. Yeah,
I guess it brought in less thanthey were hoping. It didn't a lot
less, like yeah, like twentyeight million something like that. It brought

(01:55):
in twenty eight millions. And whatwas projected Mark, do you remember what
Fall Guy was projected to get inits first week? Around forty forty Okay,
that's significant, Yeah, yeah,yeah, and yeah, you and
I were talking about that, Like, I like Ryan Gosling as an actor,
but I don't know, like itit seems really actorly to have him

(02:17):
as a big action star. RyanGosling, I don't mind him. I'm
just not sure. I buy himin certain roles. I don't buy him
as the action guy, like,for example, I liked The Gray Man,
which was on Netflix. I probablywould have liked it a lot better

(02:39):
if someone else was cast in Gosling'srole. Is that right? Yeah?
And I'm not against Ryan Gosling.It's just how you perceive actors. He's
fine in what he does. Ididn't see Blade Runner twenty forty nine.
Mark, was he good at that? It's good and he's good in it?
Really? Okay? Yeah? Iliked him, and that probably one
of my favorite roles of his.All right, all right, but you

(03:00):
know it fit for me seeing himin movies like Barbie. Sure, yeah,
yeah, I think when he's slightlycomedic, he fits what I think
he does. He thrives at yep, less so than action. I agree.
But Mark had seen The fall Guyand you were generally okay with it.

(03:22):
No, I thought it was terrible. Okay, It's got a weirdly
high rating on Rotten Tomatoes. LastI checked, it was something about like
eighty three percent. But I foundit just to be nearly unbearable, and
it outstated's welcome by maybe a halfhour. Okay, all right, Well,
if anything, it kind of remindsus what we're looking for in an

(03:43):
action movie. The fall Guy isan idea. I wasn't even biging to
the TV show. I don't evenknow if the show was even considered a
hit in its day. Well itleft it I think around five seasons.
That many seasons. Yeah, Ok, that's not small. No, it's
not small, But it wouldn't havebeen my first pick for something to turn
into a movie. Boot Yeah,yeah, yeah, agreed. But I'm
quite sure it inspires you as faras well. I should say we all

(04:08):
like action movies. They think thegeneral moviegoer appreciates action movies. What are
some of the elements that you requirein an action movie? Well, so
I've often talked my son is ina film program, and so he likes
to talk like film theory. Whydoes this movie work? This movie doesn't?
And we talk about leading men inaction films and why someone like Harrison

(04:32):
Ford is very successful in action franchises. And I think it's because he's a
relatable action star. He's often offhis pins and like me, I'm off
my pins going to the grocery store, you know, let alone, you
know, jumping off the roof.I mean that's why Fallible, Yeah,

(04:55):
that's why Diehard is such a greatfilm. He doesn't have a shoes for
like right two thirds of the movie. That makes him like a really vulnerable
hero. And I love that inaction films. If there's some sort of
fatal flaw in the hero that keepshim from being impregnable, that is engaging
to me. All Right, isthere anything on your list that you know

(05:19):
that you want to see as westart moving towards the summer season? You
know what I have not seen wewant to go see. I think we
talked about this one to go seeMonkey Man a couple of weeks ago,
and there were like ten trailers.I think one or two of the movies

(05:39):
actually looked like I was excited aboutit. And I don't know, There's
just doesn't seem to be a tonin the pipeline right now. The only
things that I can think of thatI know I want to see absolutely need
to see our Furiosa and Wolverine andDeadpool. That's it. I can't There

(06:00):
may be something which will come alongthe way. The reason I mentioned that
it's already been a very soft boxoffice season. We talk about how theater
chains are struggling. It's one thingto have a movie in which does relatively
well on a given weekend, butwhat about the other four or five days
of the week sure in which they'resupposed to be open. You need to
have movies which not only have stayingpower, but also encourage the casual movie

(06:25):
fan, the movie goer to reallycome and make the effort and go to
a movie theater. Because I'm notand I would like to think of myself
as someone who really loves movies andpre pandemic thoroughly enjoyed the theater experience.
Now, I know that movie's notgoing to hang around in theaters long,
whether I want to see it ornot. If I'm patient or even somewhat

(06:47):
impatient, it'll be on streaming inabout two to three weeks. And now,
if I'm willing to pay nineteen ninetynine for that first release, you
know on demand, I watch themovie have that pretty good home theater setup.
Pretty good yep, yep, metoo. And so you know we've
talked about this before, but Ilove to go to the movies. I

(07:11):
love the theatrical experience. I thinkthere is something to that that even in
a nice home environment. I wouldprefer if as long as the movie is
engaging and it gets me to thetheater, I would prefer to see it
in the theater than I would inmy home. There's just something magical about
going to a movie theater and Ilove that. But that being said,

(07:34):
it's way more expensive to take myfamily to the movie theater, and so
there has to be some sort ofa draw. There has to be a
level of quality that I'm going tolay down that much money rather than set
on my couch and pay like yousaid nineteen ninety nine and pop my own
popcorn and drink my own soda.That's interesting. The cost doesn't bother me.

(07:55):
It's yeah, it's more cost prohibitivefor some folks. Not that I'm
richer at that, but if Iwant to see a movie, I want
to see a movie. The costis on things. For me, it's
the time commitment. I know thatit's going to take about four hours of
my day, be it driving tothe theater, the ten trailers that I
have to watch before I even getto the movie, and then driving back.

(08:16):
It's much more of a commitment asopposed to being home. I may
watch two thirds of a movie andI'll pause it or you know, come
back to it later. It aforeit fits more my lifestyle, not being
in the theater. Sure see,I'm Scottish, so everything comes down in
dollars. See it's a variable forme, but it's not the variable.

(08:37):
Sure, sure, I wanted tosee Oppenheimer. I went to the theater.
I saw Oppenheimer. Yep, itwas great, but it also took
an extra hour out of my dayof a three hour movie. You know,
it was a commitment that I'm notgoing to make for all of them,
for sure. So with all thatsaid, when we come back,
let's get into Crackle and Redbox andhow this action conversation possibly figures into your

(08:58):
selection. And so for the week, it's later with Mo Kelly, Chris
Woolsey Chicken Soup for the Soul Entertainmentjoins me in the studio and he he's
here with gifts. Oh yes,we have some folks who are cat lovers,
and you've brought cat food and catliterature. I did both. Gonna
tell us about it when we comeback. Sure love to all right?

these are stories about how cats havechanged people's lives, how their relationship with

(10:05):
their cat has impacted them in apositive way. Mark, you had two
cats, unfortunately no longer with us. Did they change your life? Absolutely?
I love them. I cried morewhen they died than when my mother
died. And I'm not making thatup. I don't know what to think
about that, but I will takeyou at your word. Well, I
wasn't that close with my mother,but rhenomenal cat Okay. But as you

(10:31):
were saying, Chris, I'm sorry, no, no, yeah, And
so this book is filled with heartwarmingstories that that cat lovers are really going
to enjoy. I am a dogperson. We've talked about ye and every
time people tell me stories about whenthey got their cat, I always smile

(10:54):
and then you're absolutely But in myhead I'm thinking, were they out of
dogs when you were there? Whatexactly happened? How did you wind up
with a cat? But these storiesare really really beautiful, and uh,
they're all submitted by fans of ChickenSoup and The Soul, like all of
our books are, and so it'sneat. It's kind of like a compilation

(12:01):

brown rice recipe. They're probably eatingbetter than I am. My god.
This is like the neighborhood dealer gettingyou hooked on the good stuff. This
isn't kibble. Okay, first,one's always free. Let's get into these
movies crackle Hollywood action documentaries. Yes, so we have. We were talking

(12:26):
about The Fall Guy being in theatersnow and we have got one of the
best. I love documentaries in general, but I love documentaries about Hollywood history
in particular, and I've got tosay this is one of the best documentaries
on a very little known niche ofHollywood history, and that is not only

(12:46):
stunt men, but in the earlyto late sixties, early seventies and on,
it was British stunt men. Inparticular. There was this group of
Banish ex soldiers that decided that theywere going to become stuntmen, and they
came to the US and really revolutionizedthe stunt industry, mostly because they would

(13:11):
do things that American stuntmen wouldn't necessarilydo, and so they were the stuntmen
in Star Wars, Raiders of theLost Ark, all the Bond movies,
Alien, Rambo, Superman. Ifsomebody jumped off the roof of a high
rise on fire, it was quitepossibly one of the guys from this documentary.
And they interview them in the documentaryand you cannot believe the stories that

(13:35):
these guys tell. It's a miracleany of them survived. Interesting memory,
the origins of Alien. That's agood segue. Yes. So this is
written and directed by Alexander Philippe,really really good. It's got interviews with
a bunch of the original cast,Tom Scarett, Veronica Cartwright. Oh,
I want to take check this out. There's some footage in there from Dan

(13:56):
O'Bannon, who was co writer ofthe script. They talked to Roger Corman
about his thoughts on it, andit basically goes through the archtypal journey of
how the writers came up with thisterrifying scenario because it was very different before
you had horror films and you hadscience fiction films, and Alien was the

(14:16):
first one of those really to blurthose lines. And it's really a horror
movie in space, but why wasit so terrifying? And this documentary goes
into all the arc types that DanO'Bannon mined in order to make this one
of the most horrific theatrical experience.And I know, I know why it
worked. They hid the alien,the monster for at the xenomorph as they

(14:41):
call it, for a lot ofthe movie, which helped yep for sure,
like Jaws. Yeah, yep,very quickly, red Box. What
do you got for us? Forred Box? We've got a ton of
action films. We've got a greatone Hammer of the Gods. This is
starring Charlie Beuley from Nashville on theseries Nashville, Alexander Dowling from Game Thrones,
and it's about a young Nordic princewho arrives in England in eight seventy

(15:05):
one to fight off a Saxon uprising. But he has to go find his
brother, who's named Hokin the Ferocious, in order to band the family together
against the Saxons. And it's allbased loosely on real history. So that's
a hard name to live up to, right, I'm saying expectations exactly what's

(15:26):
your name? Just call me theferocious. That's all you need to know.
That's right, yep, yeap,give me one more hobo with a
shotgun. W yes, yes,yes, yes, I'm telling you.
This is Ricker Hower. That's it. The classic Rutgerhower. This is one
of those movies that the title prettymuch tells you everything you need to know
about the movie. Rutgerhower plays ahobo. He stumbles onto a shotgun.

(15:52):
How do I not know this one? It is? And so it's actually
I looked it up. It's basedon a fake trailer that Robert Rodriguez did
for Grindhouse, and filmmakers saw thatand was like, no, that should
be a real movie. And sohe it's you know, it's a vigilante.
Uh, it's falling down. It'sa guy who's pushed over the edge.

(16:14):
He sees all the evil almost ataxi driver feel. He sees all
the evils of the city, andof course, of course, and he
was perfect. He wants to dosomething about it, and the shotgun is
his weapon of choice. But itis. It is an exploitation film to
the eleventh degree. My favorite RutgerHoward movie this that I know what it

(16:37):
is. Yeah, split second.Oh oh, I thought you were gonna
say black The second was so badit was good. Is this like this
this I don't want to say timetime traveling monster, but this monster that
he's gonna goin that's the one whereall heat is. He's got a refrigerator
filled with chocolate. Yes, andSamantha from Sex and the City is Yes,

(17:04):
that's another way. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Terrible,
terrible movie, wasn't it. It'sso good. The Blind Fury, on
the other hand, is just good. Yes, I'm sorry. But hobo
with a gun, hobo shotgun yep. Yeah. So if you're looking for
a gore fest, over the topexploitation film, uh, Quentin Tarantino loves

(17:26):
this movie, it's uh, it'sdefinitely one to check out. Okay,
definitely. You have some great suggestions, you have some great gifts that you've
dropped by, and I am monitoringmy diet. Thank you for not bringing
any chocolate chip cookies. I wasconcerned because you said you're bearing gifts tonight
and I said, please, don'thave them bringing those chocolate chips. But
they're coming at least are not comingtonight. That's all that matters. I'm

(17:48):
trying to be good tonight, Chrisis always great to see you, and
I hope to see you again soon, but not too soon, because you're
gonna bring chocolate chip cookies. That'sright, awesome. Always great to be
here, great to be among thebeautiful people. You're listening to later with
Moe Kelly on demand from KFI AMsix forty And unfortunately, it seems that

(18:10):
Marvel slash Disney has found its wayinto a larger debate about politics and woke
castings and weather people in a generalsense, has super hero fatigue. I've
long argued that it's not super herofatigue. I think it's an unwillingness to

(18:30):
keep spending money on subpar movies.If you go back and look at the
earlier Marvel movies, going back toas early as two thousand and eight with
the first Iron Man, those aresuperior movies, superior storytelling. Then maybe
some of the more recent movies.Not that The Eternals was bad, it

(18:51):
just wasn't very good. Not thatSean She wasn't that bad. It just
wasn't very good. And I thinkthe more recent Marvel we did a poor
job of connecting to the larger universewhich was the point of the whole Marvel
cinematic universe. That was a lotof the appeal. Would you disagree with
Mark? I think I may havea somewhat harsher opinion of the Bo cause

(19:14):
you mentioned that than you do it, including the Marvels Boy that was a
Code Brown. Well, the MarvelsI did not like it all, but
I didn't mind Captain Marvel. Ithink we take for granted just the overt
and window of these movies. Imean, the first ones, the first
phase were so good going right upthrough Avengers Endgame. Yes, that the

(19:37):
ones that maybe we would have justthought were sort of mediocre look terrible in
comparison to those m h And therewas a discussion about whether Marvel had lost
its way, Disney had lost itsway. Was it connected to Bob Chpek,
the guy who they hired for ashort amount of time, and then
Bob Iiger came back in to replaceand I guess reset everything Disney was doing

(20:00):
in a cinematic sense. To thatend, the news now is Disney CEO
Bob Iger said the company Disney willlimit its output of Marvel movies to,
as he describes it, two goodfilms a year three maximum, Marvel at
their height had at least four.It's weird to fix a specific number on

(20:23):
it instead of just saying, well, green light it when it's good.
That's what I think they should do. This year, Marvel only has one
movie. When I say Marvel,I'm talking about the Marvel production company run
by Kevin Faige, not any moviewhich has a Marvel character in it,
which could be inclusive of Sony pictureslike that horrible Madam Web's. Oh yeah,

(20:47):
that's not a Disney movie. That'snot even what they say is a
Marvel movie. That's a movie whichhas Marvel characters in it, and they
intentionally try to confuse you to makeyou believe that that's part of the Marvel
cinematic universe that everyone loves and adores. It's less a movie than a war
crime. Well, they prosecute peoplefor war crimes. Usually somebody needs to

(21:11):
go to the hay for this one. And also, Bob Iger said he
was going to decrease the number ofseries that Disney would do from in a
Marvel sense, from four down totwo, which would mean if you know,
they had a series called Hawkeye,they had a series called miss Marvel.
They I don't know if this impactsthe Star Wars portion of the Disney

(21:37):
Company, but in terms of justMarvel series, there will not be more
than two in a given year.We know Daredevil's coming out and that every
indication is that that's going to beoutstanding. I hope and I expected to.
I have no reason not to.When they get back to the Bread
and Butter, I think Marvel willbe just fine. The problem with Phase

(21:57):
four and Phase five, if youfollow the phases, they were mostly new
characters, untethered to any story beforehand, and they didn't pay them off to
link them back to the heritage charactersthat we loved. Leading up to Avengers
Endgame, which was the end ofPhase three, they abandoned all the things

(22:18):
which they were successful doing. Okay, be honest with me. When Captain
America threw and caught Thor's hammer,did you shout in the theater? The
whole theater erupted, erupted. Butalso we were more emotionally invested in those
characters because we spent the better partof twelve thirteen years with a lot of

(22:40):
them. Going back to that waslike twenty nineteen of Ironman first Iron Man
was two thousand and eight. Avengersin Game was twenty nineteen, so you
had a good eleven years with thosecharacters all total. Yeah, they built
it up just expertly, and theydidn't do that in Phase four and Phase
five. The movies they had inPhase four, we've not seen them appear

(23:03):
anywhere else other than like an endcredit shot where you think it's supposed to
lead to something and they exist inthe same universe, but they're not actually
interacting in a movie sense. Onscreen, Where's Blade? Where's Black Knight?
Blade keeps getting pushed back for somesort of reasons, you know,
off screen issues as far as writersand direction issues, And that's weird.

(23:26):
That's weird because that should be agimme because those Wesley Snipe Blade movie Snipe's
Blade movies were before the MCU started, and they've really kickstarted comic book superhero
movie. Yes, really good.It's saved what we know of as Marvel
today. Even the third one iswatchable, no matter what anybody tells you.

(23:47):
With Drake. Yeah, well,okay, it's watchable, but it's
not horrible. It's it's a prettysolid evening. If you watch all three
of them. It is, andit also kickstarted a lot of people careers.
People forget that Ryan Reynolds was inthe second one. He was in
the third one. Wasn't it wasthe third one. Was in one of
them, yeah, the third onehe was Hannibal something or other. Yeah.

(24:08):
And also Jessica Biele and others.Yeah. So there are quality movies.
They age pretty well, they holdup over the years. But Marvel
just kind of got away from thestuff which made them successful, and Bob
Iger saying, let's just put outquality as opposed to quantity. It's a
simple answer, but it's the bestanswer. And I can't wait for Deadpool

(24:33):
of Wolverine. The trailers for thatare so funny and they're so transgressive based
on how controlling we know Disney is. It's it's putting a joke on display
for every It's very self aware,very self aware. And part of the
reason why I think that movie's goingto be a hit is because they're allowing
Deadpool to be Deadpool. It's nota PG water down version of them.

(24:59):
It's Deadpool, with the exception ofthe cocaine jokes that he's not allowed to
do right. Right. Have youseen the very latest one where they have
a Paul Rudd joke that made melaugh out loud by myself. No,
I refuse to watch. I don'twant to be exposed to anymore. I
don't want any more hints or thingsto look forward to in the movie.
I don't want to see anything else. So you don't want you to ruin

(25:19):
it for you? Is that whatyou're saying? You ruin everything? Just
your beer presence ruins everything. Well, I was having accomplish, I was
having a good day that all ofa sudden here comes Mark just gonna rain
on my parade. That's why Ilove coming to work. I love you
too. Later with Mo Kelly kif I AM six forty live everywhere on
the iHeartRadio app. You're listening toLater with Moe Kelly on demand from KFI

(25:45):
AM six forty. Sam Ash Musicis where you can get it all.
The right instrument at the right price, the sound system and recording equipment to
get you heard. Visit sam Ashto learn about their band support program,
clinics and the new backstage club chargecard. Sam Ash eighty one years of

(26:07):
making it Happen. Sam Ash inSpringdale is located at one one eighth five
Commons drive right next to David Busters. KFI six forty is later with mo
Kelly. Wait a minute, theyuse their own commercial to promote David Busters
right next to David Busters. Thatthat seems weird. I know that worked

(26:27):
out great for David Busters. Like, hey, sam Ash is using us
in their commercial. It just seemedlike it would have been a bad idea
to say, yeah, we're rightnext to Dave and Busters, right next
to David Busters. But as youcan tell that ad is nineteen years old.
They said eighty one years. Well, sam Ash barely made it to

(26:49):
one hundred years and they're closing allforty two of their stores, seven of
them here in southern California. Andwhereas the easy responses, well the economy's
going to hell, here's another example. No slow down, slow down.
It's sam Ash. It's selling guitars, it's selling electronics equipment that people like

(27:14):
me we buy online. Now I'llgive you a correlation. I loved Guitar
Center. Loved guitar Center. Mostpeople are familiar with Guitar Center. If
you're not familiar with sam Ash,get the same types of things. You
get music instruments, you get allsorts of electronics, even guitar Center.

(27:34):
Even though there's some locations which arestill open, they file for bankruptcy in
twenty twenty. It's very difficult forthese places to survive in this online economy
world. I used to love radioShack. If you work in radio,
you probably loved radio Shack at sometime. If he needed some headphones or

(27:56):
an adapter, radio Shack was theplace to get it. You know what,
I can find everything I want notinside of a radio shack. And
that's not to disrespect radio shack.It's just our economy has changed. If
I need an adapter or something,I probably can get it off Amazon and

(28:18):
it'lbeit at my house if not thatday, the next day. And the
further upside is I don't have totake time out of my day to drive
to some physical location to see ifthey have something. Sometimes they don't,
and then have to drive back orkeep running around town. I just get
it off Amazon, or if Ican wait, eBay. There's some things

(28:41):
I still get from eBay. Iknow, Mark, you probably have some
guitar Center stories. Now. Imiss going into radio Shack just to get
a chord and then having one havingto give the cashier all my personal information,
all of it. It was amazinghow I would spend some much time
and money at radio shack for thatone of it's usually a Y adapter.

(29:03):
It could have been like a femaledouble female quarter inch going to an eighth
inch male or something like that.And it all sounds filthy, by the
way, Well that's how they referredto all of it. That's how you
knew if it was male or female, or what type of cord you want
to you just look, I'm oldschool, all right, so am I

(29:26):
listen. I like a guy ina white short sleeve shirt and a clip
on tie telling me what plug Ineed for something. It's not the same
going on Amazon. I didn't likeit how that guy in that short sleeve
button down shirt and clip on tiewanted to tell me when I walked in
and I said, I know Ineed this, this is what I do.

(29:48):
Just give me what I asked for. Aren't you sure you don't want
Just give me what I asked for. I need the Y connector to the
eighth inch TRRS core. Okay,just give me that the adapter. Just
give it to who's wearing the nametag him or you come on now.
Look, Okay, I didn't tellthe whole truth. There's nothing about the
truth. Okay. Before I workedhere at KFI and I was doing karaoke,

(30:15):
trying to keep my you know,radio career, get it off the
ground, going through foreclosure. Iinterviewed at a radio shack and Sam Pedro
we've all had side gigs. Mo, no, no, no, no
no. I didn't get the job. We've all failed to get side gigs.

(30:37):
There's a promo and I remember Isat down in the interview and he
looked at me. It's like,dude, you're way too old to be
wanted to work here at radio shack. Oh that's agism. I hope you
sued the pants off. He didn'tsay it, but I could tell the
look in his eye he was anagist. I was so angry that I
never even got a call back.I could not even get a callback to

(31:02):
a freaking job at radio shack.And I swore then I would never shop
at radio shack again. It lookslike you got your revenge, and I
am so petty. I checked upon that store and celebrated when it finally
closed. You look up the guyand do a doughnut on his front line,
and I don't remember his name.I just remember that the guy didn't

(31:25):
really even pay any attention to mein the interviews. He was distracted,
as you can tell when the personhas already made the decision that you're not
getting the job and you're just wastedan extra fifteen minutes, maybe to just
assuage your conscience and make you feellike it was worth the drive when it
really wasn't. Yeah, you're bringingback some memories with that. I don't
hope the guy's like homeless or anythingright now. I just wanted that radio

(31:48):
shack to go out of business,and it did you hope that he reached
such a low point that he hangedhimself in his garage on one of his
damn Radio Shack chords. Wow,you're really more of the dark. I
just wanted to store to close.I don't want him to like lose his
life or anything, if you sayso. But you've got a real vindictive

(32:09):
streak. I'm petty. I'm pettyCrocker. Yes, I'm petty Pentograss.
I am petty as they can be. If you turn me down when I
asked you out on a date,back in sixth grade. I still remember
to this day, and I holdit against you. I mount all of
my grievances. I bronze them.I put him on the mantle and I

(32:30):
look. I was that guy whoactually took every letter of rejection from a
job that I would get, andI would post him on the wall as
constant reminders. That's just how Iam every single job. I don't do
it anymore, but I always rememberrejection as motivation, kind of like the

(32:50):
Travis Bickle of AM talk radio.Aren't you can you give me just a
little bit better than Travis, justa little bit better? See he's even
complaining about that. You can't pleasethe guy. No you can't. I'm
always unsatisfied and dissatisfied. Radio Shack. We were supposed to talk about sam
Ash. The bottom line is theclothes. They've gone out of business.

(33:13):
I forgot. I was like,wait, we got drifted out there.

Busters, you're doing something wrong.Right next to David Busters. Right next
to David Busters, David Busters isgetting free advertisement because you're right next to

never go into. Buster. Wewere in close proximity to the place you
really want to go, right nextto David Busters. Not anymore. Kf
