Oh yeah, go see it.

Speaker 3 (00:42):
On Memorial Day. Yeah, I'll be up here. But yeah,
did you kill Bull Walsh? Yeah? You know it's one
of those things. It's one hundred minutes.

Speaker 2 (00:49):
You know, it's a really good I love the one
hundred minute movie needs to be brought back and a
comedy that's kind of edgy a little bit, you know,
we need that back. This isn't really not that, this
is more.

Speaker 3 (01:03):
Just dark.

Speaker 2 (01:05):
So Paul Ruad's on with Amy Pollard and I really
enjoyed a lot of the conversation. One thing that I
liked is Paul was talking about how he doesn't view
other actors as like competition never has.

Speaker 3 (01:16):
I was like, that's pretty cool, because that's.

Speaker 2 (01:19):
Not how men think, at least usually men are wired
to think that everyone is challenging, you know, or is
coming for their their woman or their bread.

Speaker 3 (01:32):
What a realization. And I thought that was great. I
thought that was good.

Speaker 2 (01:37):
And then the other thing though, she just basically asked
the question what makes you laugh? Like, what's something that really,
no matter what tried and true, makes you laugh? And
it ended up being a tribute to a broadcasting legend
in this town.

Speaker 3 (01:51):
I love news bloopers. Oh god, let's just watch hold on,
let's just watch a few. Do you have any that
you remember that, like I can google, you know, the
gay blind? That one is that?

Speaker 4 (02:04):
That is that is?

Speaker 3 (02:05):
That is? That is this? I've watched that so many times.
It's what four seconds? Okay, the blind? It is mountain climber.

Speaker 2 (02:16):
Right after the break, we're going to interview.

Speaker 4 (02:17):
Eric Wyham Mayor, who climbed the highest mountain in the world,
Mount Everest.

Speaker 3 (02:22):
But he's gay, I mean he's gay.

Speaker 5 (02:24):
Excuse me, he's blind.

Speaker 3 (02:26):
So we'll hear about that.

Speaker 4 (02:27):
I heard the break, Okay, okay, okay, And as we
head and you know, wait a minute, because you know
in in her like, oh boy, I just messed up,
and he is like, I'm just going to pretend that
didn't happen. Okay, okay.

Speaker 1 (02:47):
To hear Paul Rudd talking about cynthia'sa garrett.

Speaker 2 (02:50):
I wanted to I thought about, like, okay, we could
ask Cynthia to come on or just you know, that's remember.
But also she may not want that to ever be
brought up because she could do story after story after
story when award award award.

Speaker 3 (03:07):
Her legacy is that it happens. Dude. Now people may
not know that's her. We do because you know.

Speaker 5 (03:14):
But like, but she she works at a very corporate corporation,
if that makes sense.

Speaker 3 (03:19):
She can't go talk about that.

Speaker 1 (03:20):
She's also and she's also, I would say, like just
incredibly watchable. Like you know, when they're when they're casting
news people, they have certain types. It always used to
be all right, we're gonna have a woman with a
gray haired guy, and it was that way forever, and
then it was like, hey, this doesn't really represent America.
So that started changing up to you know, different demographics
and all this stuff. But the main thing they're looking for,

(03:43):
is are you watching this person? And are they likable
and watchable and trustworthy? And I think she is in
every regard all three of those things. But she has
two amazing faux positive happened that one and then the
Spider Man thing, And they just pop up all the
time because the second.

Speaker 3 (04:02):
You have a blunder, it lives on the internet forever.
It doesn't matter how good you are at your job.

Speaker 5 (04:07):
When you've watched somebody on TV for so long, you
feel like you know them.

Speaker 3 (04:11):
Yeah, you know. Yeah. And I bumped into her at
a Ranger.

Speaker 5 (04:14):
Game and I looked at her like it was a
long lost friend or whatever. And I think I was
hugging her before I even said anything, you know, But
she couldn't have been nicer, more genuine, or more authentic.
I freaking loved her. She's great. So she's from here.
I think she went to TJ.

Speaker 3 (04:31):
Uh Let's TJ. Thomas Jefferson. Thomas Jefferson.

Speaker 2 (04:33):
What about the time you said she's got two, maybe
she's got three?

Speaker 3 (04:36):
Okay, Well I choked. I was choking on a banana
a couple of years ago. Remember I told you I
can't kid you.

Speaker 5 (04:44):
Not captain also saved my life.

Speaker 2 (04:48):
Seriously, all right, I mean, folks, I couldn't make this
up if I had to.

Speaker 6 (04:57):
Sixty seven degrees right now? Sixty seven aften, awesome, awesome,
Let's do some Belichicks, all right? Oh boy, coming up next,
don't choke on a banana.
