Venom the Last Dance came in first place.

Speaker 3 (19:12):
Second place went to The Wild Robot. It moved up
from third to second place this past weekend.

Speaker 6 (19:18):
I Love That Smile Too horror movie is in third place,
Conclave in fourth place, and the Tom Hanks drama Here bombed.

Speaker 3 (19:30):
According to critics. It came in fifth place, earning only
five million for the weekend.

Speaker 1 (19:36):
You want to just let people think it was like
something to do with Forrest Gump.

Speaker 6 (19:42):
It's reported that it took forty five million to produce
the movie, so they've got a lot of work to do.

Speaker 3 (19:48):
Got a lot of climbing to Tom.

Speaker 1 (19:50):
I have to pitch in.

Speaker 6 (19:54):
Coming out this Friday, Hugh Grant movie Heretic, and it
also stars Sophie Thatcher, two young missionaries becoming snarled in
a deadly game of cat and Mouse. When they knock
on the door of a diabolical mister Reid, they're trapped
in his home. They must turn to their faith if
they want to make it out alive. Heretic pairs psychological
thrills with theological questions.

Speaker 3 (20:16):
So critics are saying this is one of Hugh Grant's
best dramatic roles. Yeah, that he is pretty awesome in
this one. So that's Friday.

Speaker 6 (20:26):
Streaming if you're interested in streaming. Game Changers is on Max.
It's a series premiere for Game Changers. It explores the
little known backstories and backstabbing behind the creation of wildly
popular games like Monopoly and Call of Duty.

Speaker 3 (20:40):
So if you're into that you want to know what's
going on. Game Changers is on Max.

Speaker 6 (20:44):
And Countdown Paul Versus Tyson It's on Netflix. It's a
series premiere. They're counting down to the Big Fight, so
they announced a three part documentary series. It's an exclusive
look at the intense preparations of fighters Jake el Gallo,
Paul Jake Paul who was a social media star, and
the baddest man on the planet, Mike Tyson. So they

(21:05):
have a highly anticipated fight night that's on Netflix November fifteenth,
and this is the documentary showing both fighters preparing for
this major duel. I think Jake, I think Jake Paul
is crazy, but he is. Actually he found himself to
be a pretty good boxer. He is undefeated, I believe.
So that's a pretty good age difference between the two.

Speaker 3 (21:26):
But I don't know. Something spurred under Tyson. You got
to watch the watch the documentary. But he slipped himself
into them.

Speaker 1 (21:32):
Sure, yeah, and about halfway crazy and.

Speaker 3 (21:37):
There you go, there's that.

Good morning, it's a Big Show on the radio. Feature
track from the Big Show, Big Box. Mister Rubarb, if
you like this for your John Moore and Billy album,
he weren't his profiles in it? Over the Ruby. Thank you,
You're welcome.

Speaker 11 (31:36):
Wait, well I heard you guys comparing me to mister Rogers.
Mister Rogers was a joke. Can you say that joke?

Speaker 1 (31:45):
Joke? You didn't say joke? Sure I knew you. Now
give me that be what's up my nestles?

Speaker 10 (31:57):
What what?

Speaker 1 (31:58):
Wait? That should be what's up my nissiles?

Speaker 11 (32:02):
Welcome to mister Rubarb's Profiles in History, our latest attempt
to find a hook that actually makes this sediment work.
When a man becomes president of the United States, he
often identifies himself with another president from the past. For example,
Bill Clinton thought of himself as a modern.

Speaker 1 (32:23):
Day John F. Kennedy.

Speaker 11 (32:25):
Like Kennedy, Clinton was a vigorous, youthful president and loved
to nail hot babes in the oklauss. Actually, Clinton wasn't
quite as particular about the hot part. Our current President
Barack Obama thinks of himself as a successor to our
sixteenth President Abraham Lincoln. The two men do have a

(32:47):
lot in common. Both of them were elected from the
state of Illinois. Both of them were president during a
turbulent time in American history, and like Obama, Abraham Lincoln
sucked at golf. But many people say Obama is more
like our thirty ninth president, Jimmy Carter. This is also

(33:08):
a fair comparison. They're both Democrats, they both got elected
before people knew much about them, and like Obama, Jimmy
Carter also sucked at being president. In nineteen seventy six,
the year he was elected, Jimmy Carter was considered a
fresh new face on the US political scene. We should

(33:29):
tell you a lot about the kind of faces he
was running against. Carter came into office determined to portray
himself as a regular guy. Instead of writing in a limousine,
he walked to a swearing in ceremony on foot, and
when he got off a plane he always carried his
own luggage. This was a skill that came in handy

(33:50):
four years later when the country sent him packing. Jimmy
Carter's time in office was marked by many challenges. The
economy was in turmoil, interest rates and energy prices went
sky high, and a deadly new disease emerged that afflicted
millions of Americans.

Speaker 1 (34:08):
It was called Saturday Night fever.

Speaker 11 (34:13):
The seventies were also a time of great tension in
the Middle East. Jimmy Carter seized the moment and brought
the leaders of Israel and Egypt together at a place
called Camp David to work out the first major peace
treaty between Arabs and Jeeves.

Speaker 1 (34:30):
You say that, Genie.

Speaker 11 (34:32):
It was a historic achievement, and Carter was the perfect
man to do it, because after listening to him talk
for twelve straight days, both sides were willing to sign
pretty much anything that would get them out of Camp
David and onto a plane back home. Jimmy Carter was
a passionate crusader for the cause of human rights. This

(34:53):
impressed the leaders of the country of Iran so much
they took fifty two Americans hostage and held them for
over a year. The hostage crisis made it almost impossible
for Carter to win reelection. People also blamed him for
most of the other things that were wrong with America
at the time, like twenty percent interest rates, rising gas prices,

(35:15):
and the love both In fairness, he really didn't have
anything to do with the love that shod. After retiring,
Jimmy Carter tried to make up for being a sucky
president by building houses for poor people and becoming the
creepy old white guy hanging out during elections in crappy
hell whole countries around the world. Today, with a bit

(35:39):
of help from President Obama, he's finally achieved his ultimate goal,
being thought of as the second worst president in American history.
James Earl Carter the thirty ninth president of the United States.
He promised hope and delivered peanuts. And that's today's profiles

(35:59):
in History. Well, next time, this is mister Rubarb. I
am history.
