Speaker 1 (00:02):
I was working in the radio industree, working on radio
in the past thirty years. This is our every day
people industry are getting cut left and right, left and
left and left and right.
Speaker 2 (00:13):
They've never gone. You know what we should really add position?
I wonder if today's the last at Yes, the Woody Show.
Speaker 1 (00:23):
It's an on the new hour, insensitivity trading for a
politically correct World's a pre Friday.
Speaker 2 (00:28):
She's awesome. It's Thursday morning. It's October the ninth, twenty
twenty five. My name is whatdy? That is Greg Gory.
We got Menace? What is up? Jina grad is here?

Speaker 1 (00:45):
We let the phones open eight seven seven forty four. Woodie,
you can hit us up with the text over to
two to nine eight seven all right?
Speaker 2 (00:53):
So, uh will Menace and Woody know it?
Speaker 1 (00:56):
On this subject the topic the theme book, I have
said a number of times I love and I do
have like a kind of like a romantic outlook on
the idea of sitting down like that whole It sounds
so nice, like like when someone says, curl up and
(01:18):
read a book, like getting getting getting comfortable, like on
a couch or in a nice chair. And yeah, Like
I'll see people in places sitting on a beach just
kind of reading the book and they're so into it.
Speaker 2 (01:32):
My wife will do that. It's fun and and she
loves it.
Speaker 1 (01:35):
And I go, man, I wish I had the attention span.
I wish I had the focus to be able to
sit and do it. Because there's so many books that
I hear about that I go, wow, that sounds really interesting.
I'll go as far as to buy them, and then
I don't read them. Yeah, and and they'll sit there.
I wonder if you just haven't found the right author yet.
Could be because like again I'm interested in the subject,
(01:57):
or it's it's not even like I don't.
Speaker 2 (01:59):
I don't want to tell you fiction.
Speaker 3 (02:01):
I don't.
Speaker 2 (02:02):
Yeah, I can. I can't.
Speaker 1 (02:03):
Like I've read, you know, some Stephen King books back
in the day, you know, things like that. But I
also do like my I would say, primarily it would
be more nonfiction that I'd be interested in.
Speaker 4 (02:14):
School books wise, obviously you're a bad school skull, are
but now you've been having to learn for this flight
lesson stuff.
Speaker 1 (02:20):
I don't like anything where you have to do it,
you know what I mean, like where where it's like, no,
you're going to read and learn about this that that
doesn't like I want to go, oh that sounds interesting
and then.
Speaker 2 (02:33):
Pick it up and read about you personality disorder. It
sounds like it. Yeah, it's just it's just less interesting. Well,
but maybe it's the space.
Speaker 3 (02:41):
Like we have this little bonus room and we put
books in it and a nice chair and a globe.
Speaker 5 (02:46):
So fine, I've had never had that interest. Now you're
talking about oh, like you know, walking by on a
beach and seeing somebody read, like, there's the water right there,
I get.
Speaker 2 (02:56):
In see it.
Speaker 3 (02:57):
Yeah, if you were going off when you saw somebody
reading on.
Speaker 5 (03:01):
So bitch playing next to yeah, super ultra hips are
young Jake, probably in her early twenties.
Speaker 2 (03:09):
And minding her business reading a book, reading a book.
But you know, yeah, but you know she was wearing
the hips or uniform just the show.
Speaker 5 (03:18):
Look at I'm better than everybody on this plane that
is listening to something or watching something.
Speaker 2 (03:23):
I'm reading my book. That's totally probably what she.
Speaker 1 (03:28):
Was what most people did, So I'm I'm curious as
to what about her bothers? You so much compared to
because for everything else, you go, oh whatever, let people
enjoy stuff. That's that's that's typically your vibe on things.
Speaker 2 (03:45):
Yeah. Nd percent. Okay, so what is it about this
thing you?
Speaker 5 (03:49):
Because she just had the hips her uniform, which is
it's very hard to describe, but I would just say, like,
like somebody that was.
Speaker 2 (04:00):
You wearing, Uh, did she like the wolf haircut? Yeah,
she had a very hips her head and your cut.
But the easiest way to describe it for the audience
would be somebody that would be shopping at urban outfitters.
They like to wear ironic T shirts with like long skirts.
Speaker 5 (04:15):
Yeah, and it's yeah basically, so it's yeah. So she
was just wearing like normal clothes and she was reading
a book. It would not stick out to me at all,
but I knew she was going out of her way
to be like, look at me, I'm reading my.
Speaker 2 (04:29):
Yeah, I'm better than you.
Speaker 1 (04:33):
Is this how I sound when I was making the
chopsticks argument years ago about like, but.
Speaker 5 (04:40):
Because people don't wear a special outfit to use their chopsticks, but.
Speaker 1 (04:47):
You know that that last part of your of your
statement saying like because she wanted other people to recognize Yeah,
so my thing, I don't see how chopsticks are like
an efficient way to eat. Really, yeah, I think if
you grew up with them and you use them, it
makes more sense, Like, hey, take these really two thin sticks,
(05:07):
and I'm going to like you know.
Speaker 6 (05:08):
But your argument was never about efficiency. It was that
the person using them wants to look.
Speaker 2 (05:14):
Because of the lack of efficiency.
Speaker 1 (05:16):
So I go, all right, what purpose could somebody choose
to use chop sticks at a Panda Express for it?
And why wouldn't you use them at all places if
they were so efficient to eat?
Speaker 2 (05:25):
Like, why would you? Right, yeah, you would use them
at all places because I like them. But I'm not wearing,
like again, a special outfit. I'm not trying to go
back and rehash the chops conversation, but.
Speaker 5 (05:37):
It blows down it's intentional to not because I think,
like I want a snowshovel, yeah, sized spoon.
Speaker 2 (05:44):
I don't want the little spin on with the bigger spills, right,
I want it piled right into my mouth.
Speaker 5 (05:49):
Also, maybe I actually hated this hike because she waited
till everybody got their drinks, and everybody there you poured
them out and then had their trade tables down and
then she was like by the window, and then she
asked everybody, Oh, I need to go to the bathroom.
Speaker 2 (06:01):
That's different your book. Yeah a woman too. Yeah five minutes. Okay,
so everyone has to get up and grab their drinks
and stand in the eye. That's a long way to
go to say. I hate books. Yeah, I like, I
love I love audio books. Audio books are cool.
Speaker 3 (06:23):
You're still getting the story.
Speaker 1 (06:24):
Yeah, yeah, And I do like it better not when
they have a completely third party part. I like it
when the author reads the book because then you know
you're really I think you get more out of it
than even if I just read it myself.
Speaker 3 (06:39):
Because they are telling their story.
Speaker 2 (06:41):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (06:42):
I like that too.
Speaker 6 (06:43):
On a work night, have you ever found yourself watching
a show and you're like, okay, one more episode, I
have to go to bed.
Speaker 1 (06:47):
Yes, you stay up way too late. And imagine people
are with books. I used to be that way with
books only with two authors. So maybe you haven't found
which ones Dean Coon's and John Grisham and Thriller who
wrote the Pelican Brief?
Speaker 2 (07:01):
That would be John?
Speaker 1 (07:02):
I read I read that, but I loved it. Now
Here's where I read that. I read that when I
was stuck at boarding school and we couldn't watch.
Speaker 3 (07:08):
TV because three other option was taken away.
Speaker 2 (07:11):
That's that's when I read that stuff. But I loved it.
I heard the name of that. Is it about Pelicans?
Pelican Brief? Yeah, they made a movie out of it.
It was a serious movie and mens wouldn't watch that. Yeah, Comedies?
Is he which one is the airport author? Is it
(07:32):
James Patterson? James Paterson? To is it also? John?
Speaker 8 (07:36):
He was?
Speaker 2 (07:37):
Greg?
Speaker 4 (07:37):
I know, you gotta get crap because those are not
considered very serious. They're very pulpy.
Speaker 3 (07:41):
Sure, so they're entertaining.
Speaker 6 (07:42):
For right, still fun, but their page turners. And the
thing about John Grisham, he makes his chapters like about
three pages, and so you think, oh, one more chapter,
forty one more.
Speaker 7 (07:53):
No more?
Speaker 2 (07:53):
Do you read books?
Speaker 7 (07:54):
I do sometimes I haven't had time and since I've
been on this job.
Speaker 1 (07:58):
Actually, yeah, like what kind of books? If you're going
to read a book, what kind of book are you reading?
Speaker 7 (08:02):
I hate to call them self help books, but that's
what they would be called.
Speaker 2 (08:05):
They're like help books. Okay, they're called that. Robbins Mail Robbins, right,
but I've never read her book.
Speaker 7 (08:12):
Does she have books?
Speaker 2 (08:13):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (08:14):
What what's the self help book that you've read that
you got the most out of? What would you recommend?
How can we be helped?
Speaker 7 (08:21):
Like Mike Dooley as an artist and at heart totally
New Earth is probably my favorite.
Speaker 2 (08:27):
Wow, that sounds so hipster right there? Right, I don't
like to talk about.
Speaker 7 (08:32):
Totally.
Speaker 2 (08:33):
I love heart totally in his book New Earth Possibilities
and what was that about?
Speaker 7 (08:41):
Just I mean it's like self help. It's about being
inspired and you know, being a good person and getting
what you want out a life.
Speaker 3 (08:48):
Okay, Yeah, that's a big one.
Speaker 1 (08:53):
I'm not I'm not making fun of you. I'm just
making for the name sounds very like people. Yeah, like
that's a name. Like have you read a book by that?
You would throw it around because it makes you sound?
Speaker 2 (09:01):
I think I have that really don't in my family
room as we speak? Yeah, can I shout out a
book one of our listeners put out and see Basketlose Years.
It's called Disney Adults Exploring and hold On. It's called
Disney Adults Exploring and falling in Love with a magical subculture.
Speaker 1 (09:23):
To read.
Speaker 2 (09:24):
One of our listeners put that out, so it's available now.
Possible trademark violation. No, you can write.
Speaker 1 (09:30):
You can write books about Disney all day long. There's
a ton of them out there about how to you know,
tackle the parks if you have X number of days
and you have this is the best way to do it.
Speaker 2 (09:39):
But they usually call it like magical. Disney shouts them
out all the time because they have a popular Instagram
page called Disney Food Blog. Yeah, I've seen that. I've
seen that. All right, So we'll take the break and
then we'll come back with this game Will Menace? And
what do you know it?
Speaker 3 (09:54):
The topic is books, and so you have just a
basic description. I have a b sick description of the plot.
This is not meant to trick you. This is meant
to just these these are very well known stories.
Speaker 1 (10:06):
Okay, now, Will Menace and I know it, and I
think what we're gonna do is we're gonna try to
take a guest first, and if neither one of us
can can get it, then you're gonna give us some
multiple choice at that point, okay, almost a lifelias.
Speaker 2 (10:18):
And then you get it.
Speaker 3 (10:19):
Yeah, you definitely have to guess.
Speaker 1 (10:21):
Yeah, okay, yeah, that's the idea, and then yeah, and
then and then afterwards then we're going, okay, well, no,
that's not it.
Speaker 2 (10:28):
It is there. Yeah, they're there.
Speaker 3 (10:30):
You might stumble into a few of these.
Speaker 2 (10:32):
No, no, here are some multiple choices.
Speaker 1 (10:35):
So we'll do that next here on The wood Show
eight seven, seven forty four, I've.
Speaker 6 (10:39):
Developed this dude thing in my head that if I
go to the same place every day, the employees at
that place we're.
Speaker 7 (10:45):
Going to go book.
Speaker 2 (10:46):
Oh god, he's here again. You're so tortured. Man, I
am the wood Show. Let's play this game. Will Woody
and Menace know it? The theme booked books? Books? He
hadn't liked the idea of books, Menus, I guess not
so much. Doesn't like the idea of book. It makes
the angry. Yeah, it's a trigger for Mena. I do
(11:08):
like audiobooks, though I doan.
Speaker 1 (11:12):
Yeah, yeah, all right, Well, so it's Gina who's gonna
give us like basically a plot, and then we have
to try to take a guest Menace as to what
the book is, like, what the name of the book is, right,
and then whatever and if we can't get that, if
neither one of us can get that, then she'll give
us a multiple choice, then we can try to figure
it out from there.
Speaker 3 (11:31):
Right now, would somebody keep score for it? Maybe? Greg?
Speaker 4 (11:34):
Thank you?
Speaker 2 (11:35):
Fun Yeah yeah, I mean first first book.
Speaker 3 (11:40):
This book tells the story of a middle aged professor
obsessed with his landlady's fourteen year old daughter. He marries
her mother so he can be near the girl, but
when the mother accidentally dies, he pursues a relationship with
the girl.
Speaker 2 (11:55):
Oh I think I know this one.
Speaker 1 (11:57):
See you said, professor, and immediately I went to one thing,
and then everything else you said doesn't make sense. But
now I can't think of anything that involves a professor
other than like Dead Poets Society.
Speaker 2 (12:08):
Based off the guy.
Speaker 4 (12:09):
That guy wrote that book in my high school, by
the way, on his experiences teaching young.
Speaker 2 (12:12):
Youths, gave it away. Yeah well wait, yeah, wait, wait
to give us all the answers there. Yeah, I'm gonna
guess the only thing I can think of is Lolita Lida.
Finally answer everybody, No, beautiful mind.
Speaker 3 (12:31):
Okay, beautiful mind.
Speaker 2 (12:32):
That's the book, because I know it's the movie. Yeah,
but that's another professor. I'm like getting out some shake
up in there. I'm with you. I don't know okay,
neither one of us, right, but I know there was
like the Lolita was like the underage thing. Wood.
Speaker 3 (12:45):
I think you might be overthinking it because Menace is
one thousand, correct, is that right?
Speaker 2 (12:51):
Yeah? On the professor, I've never even seen the movie either.
She's going books here too.
Speaker 3 (13:01):
So well, remember we've done this before, you know, about
six months ago, siding to go to the next round.
All right, here we go, all right, very good minute,
next book. This book is about a group of pre
pubescent British boys who are stranded on an island and
their disastrous attempts to govern themselves lead to a descent
into savagery.
Speaker 2 (13:20):
All right, this is a classic, right, yeah, I know this.
I know the movie. Really, there's a movie on it. Yeah,
that's very famous. Not that famous.
Speaker 3 (13:31):
This is very slum Dog Millionaire of Menace.
Speaker 2 (13:33):
It's not very famous. It is yeah, super famous. Right, yeah,
everyone just throwing us off. The reason I said that
is this.
Speaker 1 (13:41):
Throwing the guy who's gonna win this game off. Menace
is really getting down at the bottom of this one.
Speaker 4 (13:44):
Famous you should know. Oh my god, god dude, goodness, great. Sorry,
trying to have fun over here. Okay, talking it through god,
I can oh no, not even close. That movie like
it came out in the seventies, right or sixties?
Speaker 2 (14:04):
No way to know? All right, what multiple choice?
Speaker 3 (14:07):
Okay, is it Atonement, Lord of the Flies or The
Adventures of Huckleberry Finn.
Speaker 2 (14:15):
Lord of the Flies?
Speaker 3 (14:17):
You're both correct?
Speaker 2 (14:18):
Okay? Nice? Yeah, heck, yeah, I know you Huckleberry face
like you said, descends into.
Speaker 3 (14:23):
Yeah, yep, savagery.
Speaker 2 (14:24):
Yeah right, all right?
Speaker 3 (14:25):
Moving forward? Yeah, this is an epic tale spanning forty
years in the life of an African American woman living
in the South who survives abuse and bigotry by the
hands of her father as well as the older man
she is married off to.
Speaker 2 (14:42):
Help. I don't because you have to guess. Okay, one
more time.
Speaker 3 (14:52):
The book follows, Oh, I'm sorry. This is an epic
tale spanning forty years in the life of an African
American woman living in the South who survives abuse and
bigotry by the hands of her father as well as
the older man she gets married off to. And for
the record, Greg has gotten every single one of these rights.
Of course he has smart And just when I even
(15:12):
I got this, nice.
Speaker 2 (15:14):
Didn't they just remake this movie? I think how do
you know all this stuff?
Speaker 3 (15:19):
He's slumped off millionaire.
Speaker 5 (15:20):
I just watched trailers. Yeah, I think they just re
in this movie with the with the girl that played
that played Little Mermaid.
Speaker 4 (15:33):
Come on, you can do it.
Speaker 2 (15:36):
Got to go to the ariial. Yeah, I gotta go
options the options?
Speaker 3 (15:43):
Is it beloved Atonement or the color purple?
Speaker 1 (15:49):
Okay, I was gonna one of the things that when
you when you were giving the description association, I just
said Oprah in my mind, So I'll say the color purple.
Speaker 5 (15:58):
Yeah, I'm gonna say the color purp because that's the
only one that I know out of those three.
Speaker 3 (16:03):
You two are both geniuses. You were dancing around. Oprah
was one of the original producers and in it yep
of the movie. Yeah, the original movie.
Speaker 1 (16:12):
Yeah, that's why when you said the color purple, Well
that's a that's the Oprah part that popped in my brain.
Speaker 2 (16:17):
Yeah, huh, very good. I mean, just you know version Menace?
Speaker 3 (16:22):
Yeah, and a musical.
Speaker 2 (16:23):
A musical.
Speaker 3 (16:25):
Yeah, it's Tony Orbin. Maybe you've heard of it.
Speaker 2 (16:27):
Everyone want we got all right?
Speaker 1 (16:29):
So will everyone Woody and Menace know it? The topic
books next one next plot.
Speaker 3 (16:35):
This book follows a sixteen year old boy who's fed
up with the phony adult world and gets expelled from
his boarding school. The story then follows his experience over
a few days in New York City before Christmas.
Speaker 2 (16:47):
Oh yeah, this is teenage Woody.
Speaker 3 (16:50):
Yeah seriously.
Speaker 2 (16:51):
Wow, not Home Alone and it features a guy with
a defiant personality.
Speaker 3 (16:56):
Disorder Gregg again killing it. He keeps writing them down.
Speaker 2 (17:00):
It is and I recently just got it again to reread.
They make it into a movie, Can I watch it?
Speaker 3 (17:06):
No more questions.
Speaker 2 (17:07):
It's not Bob Dylan, Greg's no phony this one. I
have no clue on.
Speaker 1 (17:13):
To be honest, I like the Home Alone Guests. That's good,
but I'll be more specific Home Alone Lost in New York.
Speaker 3 (17:21):
Answer.
Speaker 6 (17:22):
My guess would be that would he probably went through
life without reading it. But I bet you did really
read no books because we went kind of the same
area of schools and I think they all had the
exact same reading.
Speaker 3 (17:34):
That doesn't mean he read it.
Speaker 2 (17:35):
But the only book I remember ever is Flowers for Algam.
Speaker 3 (17:42):
We did have to read.
Speaker 1 (17:42):
I remember Tuck Everlasting in like Beverly Cleary and Judy Bloom,
but you stopped reading in like fourth grade and fourth grade.
Super Yeah, the Mouse and the motorcycle or this Yep.
Speaker 3 (17:55):
I'm going to give you three choices. Okay, is it
one hundred years of Solitude, the Catcher in the Rye,
or Never Let Me Go?
Speaker 5 (18:06):
I mean, remember what Catcher in the Right I've heard
of that. I know, Catcher in the Right is super famous. Yeah,
but I couldn't tell you what it's about me neither,
so I Catcher in the Right.
Speaker 3 (18:20):
So the first one, one hundred years of Solitude.
Speaker 2 (18:23):
In the third one, Never let Me Go? Yeah, I
don't know those.
Speaker 5 (18:26):
I mean, I've heard of one hundred years of Solitude,
but I haven't heard that, so catching the Rise.
Speaker 1 (18:33):
I have to agree with Menace. But all for the
sake of the game, I'll say whatever that third one was,
never let me Go, Never let me Go?
Speaker 3 (18:40):
Menace keeps backing into the right answers the Catcher in
the Right.
Speaker 4 (18:45):
Of all three titles, that's the most that's the most classic. Yeah, well,
I just read one hundred years of Solitude, man as
that suck.
Speaker 2 (18:53):
Catcher in the Rye, I.
Speaker 3 (18:54):
Think that's about It's a metaphor of.
Speaker 2 (18:57):
A baseball gets a hooker.
Speaker 3 (19:01):
Like rebellion to be the Catcher in the Ride, the
catching the kids before they grow up and become phonies.
Speaker 2 (19:08):
Should read it's good. Yeah you fast forward to the
hooker read all right, Yeah, here we go.
Speaker 3 (19:16):
This is a dystopian future novel set in New England
and deals with the oppressive patriarchal government that overthrows the
United States.
Speaker 2 (19:27):
Overthrows the United States? Do you greg get it right? Again?
Speaker 3 (19:30):

Speaker 4 (19:37):
Right?
Speaker 2 (19:38):
He goes, Oh wait, there must be this other one
that I got that wrong. Yeah, I know.

A specific what was the first one? Again?
Speaker 3 (21:12):
Brave New World?
Speaker 2 (21:13):
Brave New World.
Speaker 1 (21:13):
That sounds like the plot sounds like a good title
for whatever you just described. Uh yeah, yeah, put me
down for that one world New World. Yeah, I'll do this,
Brave New World.
Speaker 3 (21:27):
The answer is if you guys like TV so much,
is a huge series, The Handmaid's Tad.
Speaker 2 (21:31):
Damn, it's really huge series. They would never watch. Yeah,
I was like this isn't going to help them out.
Speaker 3 (21:37):
You know what I was gonna say, sea beasts. I
was like, it's not going to help them. The new
government of Gilead, Oh that was gonna that was gonna
be a that's the new name of the United States.
Speaker 2 (21:47):
The key word is patriarchy.
Speaker 3 (21:49):
Yeah, exactly what was.
Speaker 2 (21:50):
About controlling pregnancies and stuff.
Speaker 5 (21:52):
Like the Handmaid If that was semi in the description
of the plot, I would have got it because I
did watch some of The Handsmaid's Tale.
Speaker 3 (22:00):
There you go, all right, you want one more?
Speaker 2 (22:02):
You mean one more?
Speaker 3 (22:03):
Okay?
Speaker 2 (22:04):
This is a Will by the way, and what do
you have to Okay? Will Menace and what he know
it books?
Speaker 3 (22:10):
This is the toughest one in my opinion. I will
be curious of Greg and Sebasket this. This book follows
a soldier who becomes unstuck in time and experiences moments
from his life, including his capture during World War Two
and the bombing of Dresden in a jumbled, nonlinear way.
Speaker 2 (22:29):
Dresden's Your Clue, by the way, so you definitely had
to read in high school. I actually read it five
six years ago. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (22:39):
This book follows a soldier who becomes quote, unstuck in
time and experiences moments from his life, including his capture
during World War Two and the bombing of Dresden in
a jumbled, nonlinear way.
Speaker 2 (22:52):
This is probably the most worshiped book on that list.
Speaker 3 (22:56):
Quantum Leaper, Boston versus Aliens or whatever, And at the
end he always wants his last leap to be the
leap home, right.
Speaker 2 (23:13):
Damn it? Not saving Private Ryan. That was gonna be
my guest? Was that the book? Yeah, I'm saving Private Ryan.
Speaker 3 (23:25):
Saving Private rhyme and Quantum Leap? Yeah, okay, we're going
to go to multiple choice. Is it the Alchemist, the
Sound and the Fury, Slaughterhouse five.
Speaker 2 (23:37):
I've heard of none of those.
Speaker 1 (23:39):
I meant some of the fury. Alchemist sounds familiar. Yeah,
Alchemist okay, and Menace number three I don't know.
Speaker 2 (23:52):
Slaughterhouse five, Oh no, that sounds like a number two.
Speaker 3 (24:00):
The Sound of the Fury. Man, if you should have
gone with your gut, the answer is Slaughterhouse Spy. Greg's
going to total up the Uh, well done, thank you,
thanks crushing it, crush everything.
Speaker 2 (24:19):
Yeah, well we got four and two. Well done, everybody. Man.
Do you have a great reading list?
Speaker 7 (24:27):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (24:27):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (24:28):
The show Book Club. Yeah, I can't imagine, all right,
eight seven, seven forty four. Thank you, Gina, Thank you Gin.
Speaker 2 (24:35):
That was depressing. Yeah, I mean, I obviously don't care.
Speaker 1 (24:46):
About other people when it comes to oh what you're
dumb or whatever, But it's self inflicted.
Speaker 2 (24:54):
It's self inflicted. Like doing that doing that books thing
just remind her I just how I mean, how truly
stupid I am.
Speaker 3 (25:02):
But you're done. It means you're well read.
Speaker 2 (25:04):
I'm not well read. It's it's like when it comes
to life stuff.
Speaker 1 (25:08):
I think I'm I think I'm probably a little above
average in a lot of ways, but man, certainly on
that kind of like criminally stupid.
Speaker 2 (25:17):
Why you're into what you're into?
Speaker 1 (25:20):
No, no, I know, And I've somehow managed to make
my way through that. I guess it's you know what,
It's a story of hope for a lot of people
out there.
Speaker 2 (25:25):
I think you could take some comfort. You can take
some comfort in that.
Speaker 4 (25:29):
A lot of those titles, though, are cultural touchstones, so
like I've never seen or read Lolita, but I knew
what the answer was based on.
Speaker 5 (25:36):
The clues and Lord of the Flies, like I knew
the plot of Yeah, but I've seen the movie The
Book to screen up, But I mean, what is that
going to help me in?
Speaker 1 (25:49):
I did hear a radio advertisement speaking of like movies
and things like that. I heard a radio advertised by
just telling everybody right before we came back from the break,
there's there's something that one of the local audio video plays.
Is it sell It's it'll stream first round, like movies
that are still in theaters right to your house. Oh damn,
Now that's the way to do it. Greg, I really
love that.
Speaker 2 (26:08):
Because I know they sell those type of boxes at
like the swap meet.
Speaker 1 (26:11):
But yeah, almost just a few years ago, and I
remember like those stories about hey, they're gonna be coming
out with this thing.
Speaker 2 (26:18):
I'm sure it's a big jillion dollars is it?
Speaker 6 (26:22):
But like they tried that thing with what was it
called Movie Pass where it was like unlimited movies, you
go if you go exactly.
Speaker 2 (26:30):
But then it's the going part that Greg doesn't want
to do.
Speaker 6 (26:32):
Well, I don't want to go number one, but number two.
They also have to complicate everything. It sounded too good
to be true, and sure enough it was because then
they said, oh, you can only do x amount.
Speaker 2 (26:42):
Per well, because that's when they started getting money.
Speaker 6 (26:44):
Yeah, but then don't come up with that idea. Yeah,
you don't have a pass that lets you go anytime
the end, and then they put all these caveats on it,
and then they changed it and this like just make
it normal.
Speaker 2 (26:57):
So I think the thing that you're talking about though,
what he is called the stradio e movie player? Okay,
and what does that cost? Does I have a price
on there the online? Okay, available to order, grant for
the box? Three grand for the box? Then I'm sure
there's obviously that there's a service fee.
Speaker 4 (27:16):
Because I'm seeing something else called red Carpet Home Cinema,
which was saying one thousand to three thousand of pop.
Speaker 1 (27:22):
Wait wait wait for the actual box itself or the
per movie that can't be right ye, cheaper version Yeah
again it's.
Speaker 2 (27:31):
Called the Yeah, even I would leave the house for
that price. Yeah, right, Light Escape maybe.
Speaker 3 (27:38):
Yeah, it looks like it's about three grand for the box.
Speaker 1 (27:40):
For the box, and then what's the service, Like, how
much does that cost? Because I mean, if you total
it all up, like I'm saying, for a married, married couple,
but that's a lot of movies just to break even
married couple with kids. So I'm doing the I'm doing
the math for all you non breeders out there. Again
for my wife and I, not now kids are older,
but you know, for my ife and I, when the
kids were little, we wanted to go to a movie.
(28:02):
First of all, you have to find a movie that
you want to see together, right, and sometimes it's just
getting out of the house. It doesn't matter. So forget
that you want to go to a movie. Now it's like, okay,
you gotta find the day of the time. Okay, cool,
Now you got to get the babysitter. So the babysitter
on average is doing fifteen and twenty dollars an hour,
okay these days. Okay, So you have that, then you
go and what a movie to I've been to the
(28:22):
movies in a while, but.
Speaker 2 (28:25):
Not the mat name. I'm talking like you're going, like
at a date night day, around twenty bucks for her ticket.
It was like twenty five.
Speaker 3 (28:30):
Okay, yeah, so say twenty at least.
Speaker 1 (28:32):
There's another fifty bucks all right on top of the
babysitter money. And of course, now that you're out, you're
gonna make it an evening of it. Yes, you're you're
gonna do dinner. God knows what that but let's assume
you're gonna go something like nice and casual and cheap,
all right, So you add that in there, and then
you get to the movie and you can't be in
the movie without getting at least one small soda for
forty dollars, because that's why they make all their money. Right,
(28:52):
So good news, Woddy.
Speaker 4 (28:53):
If you have one of these boxes, the movies themselves
are affordable. You can rent them for thirty dollars. You're
conjuring the last rites thirty dollars. But again, it is
that three thousand to plus upfront box costs that's going
to eat you.
Speaker 1 (29:04):
Okay, so the box you spend three thousand bucks on
and then you pay per movie per movie, you're doing
a decent deal. Actually, yeah, by today's stands.
Speaker 2 (29:13):
I mean that's because that's basically like on Apple, that's
how much it costs for like a new movie song.
You have to rebuy the box every year.
Speaker 3 (29:20):
Right, No, and right, all the math you just did
that can add up to with a babysitter and stuff.
Let's say that's two hundred bucks, So that's fifteen movies.
Speaker 1 (29:30):
Yeah, over the course of you know, whatever. Let's say
two years. How many movies you're gonna watch in two years? Yeah,
because I would imagine that the box and technology might
change a little bit. You might have to, you know,
watch movies at home box version two point zero, right
that you have to or want to do something better greater, Yeah, surgery.
Speaker 2 (29:48):
A rental where you get it for forty eight hours,
or something you can buy.
Speaker 4 (29:51):
Or rent, but of course that's digital buy of course.
Yeah yeah, right peers zone right, cool concept. Yeah, I
like that idea. You know a lot of money sacks
and they have a big backlog too, of oldham stuff
like there's have you seen black Light from Ligam Neeson Craig.
Speaker 2 (30:09):
You do like that?
Speaker 1 (30:11):
Yeah, I'm not going to get it, but it's sound
no no, because I thinking about it. I wanted to
see Oppenheimer so bad. I know, I know, forget how
bad it is. But when we first saw the trailers
and stuff like, oh dude, I'm definitely definitely go see that.
Speaker 2 (30:31):
Never make it to the theater. Then they re released
in the theaters. Never made it to that. Then they
really re released it again for a third time after
it won some awards. Still didn't see it.
Speaker 1 (30:41):
There now it's been on you know, Apple TV or
whatever everywhere for however long still to this day have
not seen it.
Speaker 2 (30:49):
Now. Part of that is because everybody's crapped on it
so hard, saying how just mega boring it was. It's
criminally boring.
Speaker 1 (31:00):
It looks pretty yeah, I told you. The next time
and going to theater is for the re release of
Back to the Future at the end of this month.
They're doing like a big anniversary edition of it in
Imax for the be able to watch the Back to
the Future.
Speaker 2 (31:13):
You like that, Greg, right, I guess so you didn't
like the original? You don't like Back to the Future.
Speaker 6 (31:17):
You know who ruined it for me was John mulaney
with his bit on how out the plot is. It's
a sci fi movie.
Speaker 2 (31:24):
I get it.
Speaker 3 (31:25):
It's teenager but friends a disgraced physicists pist.
Speaker 2 (31:30):
It's so good. I do find it odd that that's
your all time favorite movie. Really yeah? Why what's odd
about it?
Speaker 5 (31:37):
Though?
Speaker 2 (31:37):
Because it's, to use genus favorite word, it's too whimsical.
Speaker 4 (31:41):
It does have whimsy, Yeah, yeah, it's a little oh
and it's a little whimsy and it's it's amazing fantasy
and it's amazing.
Speaker 1 (31:50):
I don't know, it just doesn't seem like it seems
like you would like something more violent. I went to
your favorite I do like I love a lot of
violence or something. I went to the pharmacy to pick
up a prescription the other day, and you know, they
always have that random crap by the you know, check
out and whatever. And yeah, they had you know, sometimes
like for whatever reason, like who is sitting here buying
(32:10):
basically matchbox versions of school buses and random cars and
you know, fire trucks, and I guess, you know, they
they had a DeLorean there, like like a back to
the future, and I almost bought it, and then and
then uh yeah, and then I got outside and I
was like, you know what next time. So the next
time I went in there, like you know, I think
I'm gonna buy that DeLorean, it was gone. Somebody bought it.
(32:33):
Oh damn it, damn right eight seven seven forty four. Woodie,
you can set us a text, hit us up, check
in over to two nine eighty seven. We'll be right back.
Speaker 2 (32:43):
How dumb are you on the WI Show. I'll be
right back
I was working in the radio industree, working on radio
in the past thirty years. This is our every day
people industry are getting cut left and right, left and
left and left and right.
Speaker 2 (00:13):
They've never gone. You know what we should really add position?
I wonder if today's the last at Yes, the Woody Show.
Speaker 1 (00:23):
It's an on the new hour, insensitivity trading for a
politically correct World's a pre Friday.
Speaker 2 (00:28):
She's awesome. It's Thursday morning. It's October the ninth, twenty
twenty five. My name is whatdy? That is Greg Gory.
We got Menace? What is up? Jina grad is here?
See you Baske, Good morning to your We got Sammy
Morgan is here. Good morning, Morgan.
Speaker 1 (00:45):
We let the phones open eight seven seven forty four. Woodie,
you can hit us up with the text over to
two to nine eight seven all right?
Speaker 2 (00:53):
So, uh will Menace and Woody know it?
Speaker 1 (00:56):
On this subject the topic the theme book, I have
said a number of times I love and I do
have like a kind of like a romantic outlook on
the idea of sitting down like that whole It sounds
so nice, like like when someone says, curl up and
(01:18):
read a book, like getting getting getting comfortable, like on
a couch or in a nice chair. And yeah, Like
I'll see people in places sitting on a beach just
kind of reading the book and they're so into it.
Speaker 2 (01:32):
My wife will do that. It's fun and and she
loves it.
Speaker 1 (01:35):
And I go, man, I wish I had the attention span.
I wish I had the focus to be able to
sit and do it. Because there's so many books that
I hear about that I go, wow, that sounds really interesting.
I'll go as far as to buy them, and then
I don't read them. Yeah, and and they'll sit there.
I wonder if you just haven't found the right author yet.
Could be because like again I'm interested in the subject,
(01:57):
or it's it's not even like I don't.
Speaker 2 (01:59):
I don't want to tell you fiction.
Speaker 3 (02:01):
I don't.
Speaker 2 (02:02):
Yeah, I can. I can't.
Speaker 1 (02:03):
Like I've read, you know, some Stephen King books back
in the day, you know, things like that. But I
also do like my I would say, primarily it would
be more nonfiction that I'd be interested in.
Speaker 4 (02:14):
School books wise, obviously you're a bad school skull, are
but now you've been having to learn for this flight
lesson stuff.
Speaker 1 (02:20):
I don't like anything where you have to do it,
you know what I mean, like where where it's like, no,
you're going to read and learn about this that that
doesn't like I want to go, oh that sounds interesting
and then.
Speaker 2 (02:33):
Pick it up and read about you personality disorder. It
sounds like it. Yeah, it's just it's just less interesting. Well,
but maybe it's the space.
Speaker 3 (02:41):
Like we have this little bonus room and we put
books in it and a nice chair and a globe.
Speaker 5 (02:46):
So fine, I've had never had that interest. Now you're
talking about oh, like you know, walking by on a
beach and seeing somebody read, like, there's the water right there,
I get.
Speaker 2 (02:56):
In see it.
Speaker 3 (02:57):
Yeah, if you were going off when you saw somebody
reading on.
Speaker 5 (03:01):
So bitch playing next to yeah, super ultra hips are
young Jake, probably in her early twenties.
Speaker 2 (03:09):
And minding her business reading a book, reading a book.
But you know, yeah, but you know she was wearing
the hips or uniform just the show.
Speaker 5 (03:18):
Look at I'm better than everybody on this plane that
is listening to something or watching something.
Speaker 2 (03:23):
I'm reading my book. That's totally probably what she.
Speaker 1 (03:28):
Was what most people did, So I'm I'm curious as
to what about her bothers? You so much compared to
because for everything else, you go, oh whatever, let people
enjoy stuff. That's that's that's typically your vibe on things.
Speaker 2 (03:45):
Yeah. Nd percent. Okay, so what is it about this
thing you?
Speaker 5 (03:49):
Because she just had the hips her uniform, which is
it's very hard to describe, but I would just say, like,
like somebody that was.
Speaker 2 (04:00):
You wearing, Uh, did she like the wolf haircut? Yeah,
she had a very hips her head and your cut.
But the easiest way to describe it for the audience
would be somebody that would be shopping at urban outfitters.
They like to wear ironic T shirts with like long skirts.
Speaker 5 (04:15):
Yeah, and it's yeah basically, so it's yeah. So she
was just wearing like normal clothes and she was reading
a book. It would not stick out to me at all,
but I knew she was going out of her way
to be like, look at me, I'm reading my.
Speaker 2 (04:29):
Yeah, I'm better than you.
Speaker 1 (04:33):
Is this how I sound when I was making the
chopsticks argument years ago about like, but.
Speaker 5 (04:40):
Because people don't wear a special outfit to use their chopsticks, but.
Speaker 1 (04:47):
You know that that last part of your of your
statement saying like because she wanted other people to recognize Yeah,
so my thing, I don't see how chopsticks are like
an efficient way to eat. Really, yeah, I think if
you grew up with them and you use them, it
makes more sense, Like, hey, take these really two thin sticks,
(05:07):
and I'm going to like you know.
Speaker 6 (05:08):
But your argument was never about efficiency. It was that
the person using them wants to look.
Speaker 2 (05:14):
Because of the lack of efficiency.
Speaker 1 (05:16):
So I go, all right, what purpose could somebody choose
to use chop sticks at a Panda Express for it?
And why wouldn't you use them at all places if
they were so efficient to eat?
Speaker 2 (05:25):
Like, why would you? Right, yeah, you would use them
at all places because I like them. But I'm not wearing,
like again, a special outfit. I'm not trying to go
back and rehash the chops conversation, but.
Speaker 5 (05:37):
It blows down it's intentional to not because I think,
like I want a snowshovel, yeah, sized spoon.
Speaker 2 (05:44):
I don't want the little spin on with the bigger spills, right,
I want it piled right into my mouth.
Speaker 5 (05:49):
Also, maybe I actually hated this hike because she waited
till everybody got their drinks, and everybody there you poured
them out and then had their trade tables down and
then she was like by the window, and then she
asked everybody, Oh, I need to go to the bathroom.
Speaker 2 (06:01):
That's different your book. Yeah a woman too. Yeah five minutes. Okay,
so everyone has to get up and grab their drinks
and stand in the eye. That's a long way to
go to say. I hate books. Yeah, I like, I
love I love audio books. Audio books are cool.
Speaker 3 (06:23):
You're still getting the story.
Speaker 1 (06:24):
Yeah, yeah, And I do like it better not when
they have a completely third party part. I like it
when the author reads the book because then you know
you're really I think you get more out of it
than even if I just read it myself.
Speaker 3 (06:39):
Because they are telling their story.
Speaker 2 (06:41):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (06:42):
I like that too.
Speaker 6 (06:43):
On a work night, have you ever found yourself watching
a show and you're like, okay, one more episode, I
have to go to bed.
Speaker 1 (06:47):
Yes, you stay up way too late. And imagine people
are with books. I used to be that way with
books only with two authors. So maybe you haven't found
which ones Dean Coon's and John Grisham and Thriller who
wrote the Pelican Brief?
Speaker 2 (07:01):
That would be John?
Speaker 1 (07:02):
I read I read that, but I loved it. Now
Here's where I read that. I read that when I
was stuck at boarding school and we couldn't watch.
Speaker 3 (07:08):
TV because three other option was taken away.
Speaker 2 (07:11):
That's that's when I read that stuff. But I loved it.
I heard the name of that. Is it about Pelicans?
Pelican Brief? Yeah, they made a movie out of it.
It was a serious movie and mens wouldn't watch that. Yeah, Comedies?
Is he which one is the airport author? Is it
(07:32):
James Patterson? James Paterson? To is it also? John?
Speaker 8 (07:36):
He was?
Speaker 2 (07:37):
Greg?
Speaker 4 (07:37):
I know, you gotta get crap because those are not
considered very serious. They're very pulpy.
Speaker 3 (07:41):
Sure, so they're entertaining.
Speaker 6 (07:42):
For right, still fun, but their page turners. And the
thing about John Grisham, he makes his chapters like about
three pages, and so you think, oh, one more chapter,
forty one more.
Speaker 7 (07:53):
No more?
Speaker 2 (07:53):
Do you read books?
Speaker 7 (07:54):
I do sometimes I haven't had time and since I've
been on this job.
Speaker 1 (07:58):
Actually, yeah, like what kind of books? If you're going
to read a book, what kind of book are you reading?
Speaker 7 (08:02):
I hate to call them self help books, but that's
what they would be called.
Speaker 2 (08:05):
They're like help books. Okay, they're called that. Robbins Mail Robbins, right,
but I've never read her book.
Speaker 7 (08:12):
Does she have books?
Speaker 2 (08:13):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (08:14):
What what's the self help book that you've read that
you got the most out of? What would you recommend?
How can we be helped?
Speaker 7 (08:21):
Like Mike Dooley as an artist and at heart totally
New Earth is probably my favorite.
Speaker 2 (08:27):
Wow, that sounds so hipster right there? Right, I don't
like to talk about.
Speaker 7 (08:32):
Totally.
Speaker 2 (08:33):
I love heart totally in his book New Earth Possibilities
and what was that about?
Speaker 7 (08:41):
Just I mean it's like self help. It's about being
inspired and you know, being a good person and getting
what you want out a life.
Speaker 3 (08:48):
Okay, Yeah, that's a big one.
Speaker 1 (08:53):
I'm not I'm not making fun of you. I'm just
making for the name sounds very like people. Yeah, like
that's a name. Like have you read a book by that?
You would throw it around because it makes you sound?
Speaker 2 (09:01):
I think I have that really don't in my family
room as we speak? Yeah, can I shout out a
book one of our listeners put out and see Basketlose Years.
It's called Disney Adults Exploring and hold On. It's called
Disney Adults Exploring and falling in Love with a magical subculture.
Speaker 1 (09:23):
To read.
Speaker 2 (09:24):
One of our listeners put that out, so it's available now.
Possible trademark violation. No, you can write.
Speaker 1 (09:30):
You can write books about Disney all day long. There's
a ton of them out there about how to you know,
tackle the parks if you have X number of days
and you have this is the best way to do it.
Speaker 2 (09:39):
But they usually call it like magical. Disney shouts them
out all the time because they have a popular Instagram
page called Disney Food Blog. Yeah, I've seen that. I've
seen that. All right, So we'll take the break and
then we'll come back with this game Will Menace? And
what do you know it?
Speaker 3 (09:54):
The topic is books, and so you have just a
basic description. I have a b sick description of the plot.
This is not meant to trick you. This is meant
to just these these are very well known stories.
Speaker 1 (10:06):
Okay, now, Will Menace and I know it, and I
think what we're gonna do is we're gonna try to
take a guest first, and if neither one of us
can can get it, then you're gonna give us some
multiple choice at that point, okay, almost a lifelias.
Speaker 2 (10:18):
And then you get it.
Speaker 3 (10:19):
Yeah, you definitely have to guess.
Speaker 1 (10:21):
Yeah, okay, yeah, that's the idea, and then yeah, and
then and then afterwards then we're going, okay, well, no,
that's not it.
Speaker 2 (10:28):
It is there. Yeah, they're there.
Speaker 3 (10:30):
You might stumble into a few of these.
Speaker 2 (10:32):
No, no, here are some multiple choices.
Speaker 1 (10:35):
So we'll do that next here on The wood Show
eight seven, seven forty four, I've.
Speaker 6 (10:39):
Developed this dude thing in my head that if I
go to the same place every day, the employees at
that place we're.
Speaker 7 (10:45):
Going to go book.
Speaker 2 (10:46):
Oh god, he's here again. You're so tortured. Man, I
am the wood Show. Let's play this game. Will Woody
and Menace know it? The theme booked books? Books? He
hadn't liked the idea of books, Menus, I guess not
so much. Doesn't like the idea of book. It makes
the angry. Yeah, it's a trigger for Mena. I do
(11:08):
like audiobooks, though I doan.
Speaker 1 (11:12):
Yeah, yeah, all right, Well, so it's Gina who's gonna
give us like basically a plot, and then we have
to try to take a guest Menace as to what
the book is, like, what the name of the book is, right,
and then whatever and if we can't get that, if
neither one of us can get that, then she'll give
us a multiple choice, then we can try to figure
it out from there.
Speaker 3 (11:31):
Right now, would somebody keep score for it? Maybe? Greg?
Speaker 4 (11:34):
Thank you?
Speaker 2 (11:35):
Fun Yeah yeah, I mean first first book.
Speaker 3 (11:40):
This book tells the story of a middle aged professor
obsessed with his landlady's fourteen year old daughter. He marries
her mother so he can be near the girl, but
when the mother accidentally dies, he pursues a relationship with
the girl.
Speaker 2 (11:55):
Oh I think I know this one.
Speaker 1 (11:57):
See you said, professor, and immediately I went to one thing,
and then everything else you said doesn't make sense. But
now I can't think of anything that involves a professor
other than like Dead Poets Society.
Speaker 2 (12:08):
Based off the guy.
Speaker 4 (12:09):
That guy wrote that book in my high school, by
the way, on his experiences teaching young.
Speaker 2 (12:12):
Youths, gave it away. Yeah well wait, yeah, wait, wait
to give us all the answers there. Yeah, I'm gonna
guess the only thing I can think of is Lolita Lida.
Finally answer everybody, No, beautiful mind.
Speaker 3 (12:31):
Okay, beautiful mind.
Speaker 2 (12:32):
That's the book, because I know it's the movie. Yeah,
but that's another professor. I'm like getting out some shake
up in there. I'm with you. I don't know okay,
neither one of us, right, but I know there was
like the Lolita was like the underage thing. Wood.
Speaker 3 (12:45):
I think you might be overthinking it because Menace is
one thousand, correct, is that right?
Speaker 2 (12:51):
Yeah? On the professor, I've never even seen the movie either.
She's going books here too.
Speaker 3 (13:01):
So well, remember we've done this before, you know, about
six months ago, siding to go to the next round.
All right, here we go, all right, very good minute,
next book. This book is about a group of pre
pubescent British boys who are stranded on an island and
their disastrous attempts to govern themselves lead to a descent
into savagery.
Speaker 2 (13:20):
All right, this is a classic, right, yeah, I know this.
I know the movie. Really, there's a movie on it. Yeah,
that's very famous. Not that famous.
Speaker 3 (13:31):
This is very slum Dog Millionaire of Menace.
Speaker 2 (13:33):
It's not very famous. It is yeah, super famous. Right, yeah,
everyone just throwing us off. The reason I said that
is this.
Speaker 1 (13:41):
Throwing the guy who's gonna win this game off. Menace
is really getting down at the bottom of this one.
Speaker 4 (13:44):
Famous you should know. Oh my god, god dude, goodness, great. Sorry,
trying to have fun over here. Okay, talking it through god,
I can oh no, not even close. That movie like
it came out in the seventies, right or sixties?
Speaker 2 (14:04):
No way to know? All right, what multiple choice?
Speaker 3 (14:07):
Okay, is it Atonement, Lord of the Flies or The
Adventures of Huckleberry Finn.
Speaker 2 (14:15):
Lord of the Flies?
Speaker 3 (14:17):
You're both correct?
Speaker 2 (14:18):
Okay? Nice? Yeah, heck, yeah, I know you Huckleberry face
like you said, descends into.
Speaker 3 (14:23):
Yeah, yep, savagery.
Speaker 2 (14:24):
Yeah right, all right?
Speaker 3 (14:25):
Moving forward? Yeah, this is an epic tale spanning forty
years in the life of an African American woman living
in the South who survives abuse and bigotry by the
hands of her father as well as the older man
she is married off to.
Speaker 2 (14:42):
Help. I don't because you have to guess. Okay, one
more time.
Speaker 3 (14:52):
The book follows, Oh, I'm sorry. This is an epic
tale spanning forty years in the life of an African
American woman living in the South who survives abuse and
bigotry by the hands of her father as well as
the older man she gets married off to. And for
the record, Greg has gotten every single one of these rights.
Of course he has smart And just when I even
(15:12):
I got this, nice.
Speaker 2 (15:14):
Didn't they just remake this movie? I think how do
you know all this stuff?
Speaker 3 (15:19):
He's slumped off millionaire.
Speaker 5 (15:20):
I just watched trailers. Yeah, I think they just re
in this movie with the with the girl that played
that played Little Mermaid.
Speaker 4 (15:33):
Come on, you can do it.
Speaker 2 (15:36):
Got to go to the ariial. Yeah, I gotta go
options the options?
Speaker 3 (15:43):
Is it beloved Atonement or the color purple?
Speaker 1 (15:49):
Okay, I was gonna one of the things that when
you when you were giving the description association, I just
said Oprah in my mind, So I'll say the color purple.
Speaker 5 (15:58):
Yeah, I'm gonna say the color purp because that's the
only one that I know out of those three.
Speaker 3 (16:03):
You two are both geniuses. You were dancing around. Oprah
was one of the original producers and in it yep
of the movie. Yeah, the original movie.
Speaker 1 (16:12):
Yeah, that's why when you said the color purple, Well
that's a that's the Oprah part that popped in my brain.
Speaker 2 (16:17):
Yeah, huh, very good. I mean, just you know version Menace?
Speaker 3 (16:22):
Yeah, and a musical.
Speaker 2 (16:23):
A musical.
Speaker 3 (16:25):
Yeah, it's Tony Orbin. Maybe you've heard of it.
Speaker 2 (16:27):
Everyone want we got all right?
Speaker 1 (16:29):
So will everyone Woody and Menace know it? The topic
books next one next plot.
Speaker 3 (16:35):
This book follows a sixteen year old boy who's fed
up with the phony adult world and gets expelled from
his boarding school. The story then follows his experience over
a few days in New York City before Christmas.
Speaker 2 (16:47):
Oh yeah, this is teenage Woody.
Speaker 3 (16:50):
Yeah seriously.
Speaker 2 (16:51):
Wow, not Home Alone and it features a guy with
a defiant personality.
Speaker 3 (16:56):
Disorder Gregg again killing it. He keeps writing them down.
Speaker 2 (17:00):
It is and I recently just got it again to reread.
They make it into a movie, Can I watch it?
Speaker 3 (17:06):
No more questions.
Speaker 2 (17:07):
It's not Bob Dylan, Greg's no phony this one. I
have no clue on.
Speaker 1 (17:13):
To be honest, I like the Home Alone Guests. That's good,
but I'll be more specific Home Alone Lost in New York.
Speaker 3 (17:21):
Answer.
Speaker 6 (17:22):
My guess would be that would he probably went through
life without reading it. But I bet you did really
read no books because we went kind of the same
area of schools and I think they all had the
exact same reading.
Speaker 3 (17:34):
That doesn't mean he read it.
Speaker 2 (17:35):
But the only book I remember ever is Flowers for Algam.
Speaker 3 (17:42):
We did have to read.
Speaker 1 (17:42):
I remember Tuck Everlasting in like Beverly Cleary and Judy Bloom,
but you stopped reading in like fourth grade and fourth grade.
Super Yeah, the Mouse and the motorcycle or this Yep.
Speaker 3 (17:55):
I'm going to give you three choices. Okay, is it
one hundred years of Solitude, the Catcher in the Rye,
or Never Let Me Go?
Speaker 5 (18:06):
I mean, remember what Catcher in the Right I've heard
of that. I know, Catcher in the Right is super famous. Yeah,
but I couldn't tell you what it's about me neither,
so I Catcher in the Right.
Speaker 3 (18:20):
So the first one, one hundred years of Solitude.
Speaker 2 (18:23):
In the third one, Never let Me Go? Yeah, I
don't know those.
Speaker 5 (18:26):
I mean, I've heard of one hundred years of Solitude,
but I haven't heard that, so catching the Rise.
Speaker 1 (18:33):
I have to agree with Menace. But all for the
sake of the game, I'll say whatever that third one was,
never let me Go, Never let me Go?
Speaker 3 (18:40):
Menace keeps backing into the right answers the Catcher in
the Right.
Speaker 4 (18:45):
Of all three titles, that's the most that's the most classic. Yeah, well,
I just read one hundred years of Solitude, man as
that suck.
Speaker 2 (18:53):
Catcher in the Rye, I.
Speaker 3 (18:54):
Think that's about It's a metaphor of.
Speaker 2 (18:57):
A baseball gets a hooker.
Speaker 3 (19:01):
Like rebellion to be the Catcher in the Ride, the
catching the kids before they grow up and become phonies.
Speaker 2 (19:08):
Should read it's good. Yeah you fast forward to the
hooker read all right, Yeah, here we go.
Speaker 3 (19:16):
This is a dystopian future novel set in New England
and deals with the oppressive patriarchal government that overthrows the
United States.
Speaker 2 (19:27):
Overthrows the United States? Do you greg get it right? Again?
Speaker 3 (19:30):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (19:31):
I get two of them, very confused, but no, okay,
so you know it. I wish anyway?
Speaker 4 (19:37):
Right?
Speaker 2 (19:38):
He goes, Oh wait, there must be this other one
that I got that wrong. Yeah, I know.
Speaker 3 (19:42):
No, I could give another I could give, but I
don't think it's going to help either of you.
Speaker 2 (19:48):
Did he write did he write down the Boston tea party?
That was my first guest, That was my second guest.
Speaker 3 (19:53):
Okay, you want me to read it again?
Speaker 2 (19:54):
Yeah? Yeah.
Speaker 3 (19:55):
This is a futuristic dystopian novel set in New England
and deals with the oppressive patriarchal government that overthrows the
United States.
Speaker 2 (20:05):
Does it have to do with aliens? What's the one
with hal Menace? What was it?
Speaker 3 (20:11):
I could give a little hint, but I don't know
if it will help no.
Speaker 2 (20:14):
Well you're gonna have multiple choice, right yeah? All right?
Speaker 8 (20:16):
Uh yeah, you best to get me, you know school. Yeah,
I don't know, d just make up something.
Speaker 4 (20:30):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (20:31):
People wonder why I hate myself so much?
Speaker 3 (20:33):
They do.
Speaker 5 (20:34):
They go like, I don't get it, man, like you
have so much to be I'm like, yeah, I know,
but like Boston versus Aliens.
Speaker 3 (20:39):
Yes, okay, Bostons Aliens, what's your.
Speaker 2 (20:41):
Boston versus Aliens?
Speaker 3 (20:43):
What's your?
Speaker 2 (20:44):
What's it? What's was it?
Speaker 7 (20:46):
How?
Speaker 2 (20:46):
What was how? How was space? Space house? Yeah, that's
one space.
Speaker 3 (20:51):
We're going to go to multiple choice? All right, Okay,
is it Brave New World? The Handmaid's Tail Fahrenheit four
fifty one.
Speaker 2 (21:01):
Fahrenheit four fifty one sounds like ominous?
Speaker 7 (21:06):
Yeah, like.
Speaker 2 (21:08):
A specific what was the first one? Again?
Speaker 3 (21:12):
Brave New World?
Speaker 2 (21:13):
Brave New World.
Speaker 1 (21:13):
That sounds like the plot sounds like a good title
for whatever you just described. Uh yeah, yeah, put me
down for that one world New World. Yeah, I'll do this,
Brave New World.
Speaker 3 (21:27):
The answer is if you guys like TV so much,
is a huge series, The Handmaid's Tad.
Speaker 2 (21:31):
Damn, it's really huge series. They would never watch. Yeah,
I was like this isn't going to help them out.
Speaker 3 (21:37):
You know what I was gonna say, sea beasts. I
was like, it's not going to help them. The new
government of Gilead, Oh that was gonna that was gonna
be a that's the new name of the United States.
Speaker 2 (21:47):
The key word is patriarchy.
Speaker 3 (21:49):
Yeah, exactly what was.
Speaker 2 (21:50):
About controlling pregnancies and stuff.
Speaker 5 (21:52):
Like the Handmaid If that was semi in the description
of the plot, I would have got it because I
did watch some of The Handsmaid's Tale.
Speaker 3 (22:00):
There you go, all right, you want one more?
Speaker 2 (22:02):
You mean one more?
Speaker 3 (22:03):
Okay?
Speaker 2 (22:04):
This is a Will by the way, and what do
you have to Okay? Will Menace and what he know
it books?
Speaker 3 (22:10):
This is the toughest one in my opinion. I will
be curious of Greg and Sebasket this. This book follows
a soldier who becomes unstuck in time and experiences moments
from his life, including his capture during World War Two
and the bombing of Dresden in a jumbled, nonlinear way.
Speaker 2 (22:29):
Dresden's Your Clue, by the way, so you definitely had
to read in high school. I actually read it five
six years ago. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (22:39):
This book follows a soldier who becomes quote, unstuck in
time and experiences moments from his life, including his capture
during World War Two and the bombing of Dresden in
a jumbled, nonlinear way.
Speaker 2 (22:52):
This is probably the most worshiped book on that list.
Speaker 3 (22:56):
Quantum Leaper, Boston versus Aliens or whatever, And at the
end he always wants his last leap to be the
leap home, right.
Speaker 2 (23:13):
Damn it? Not saving Private Ryan. That was gonna be
my guest? Was that the book? Yeah, I'm saving Private Ryan.
Speaker 3 (23:25):
Saving Private rhyme and Quantum Leap? Yeah, okay, we're going
to go to multiple choice. Is it the Alchemist, the
Sound and the Fury, Slaughterhouse five.
Speaker 2 (23:37):
I've heard of none of those.
Speaker 1 (23:39):
I meant some of the fury. Alchemist sounds familiar. Yeah,
Alchemist okay, and Menace number three I don't know.
Speaker 2 (23:52):
Slaughterhouse five, Oh no, that sounds like a number two.
Speaker 3 (24:00):
The Sound of the Fury. Man, if you should have
gone with your gut, the answer is Slaughterhouse Spy. Greg's
going to total up the Uh, well done, thank you,
thanks crushing it, crush everything.
Speaker 2 (24:19):
Yeah, well we got four and two. Well done, everybody. Man.
Do you have a great reading list?
Speaker 7 (24:27):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (24:27):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (24:28):
The show Book Club. Yeah, I can't imagine, all right,
eight seven, seven forty four. Thank you, Gina, Thank you Gin.
Speaker 2 (24:35):
That was depressing. Yeah, I mean, I obviously don't care.
Speaker 1 (24:46):
About other people when it comes to oh what you're
dumb or whatever, But it's self inflicted.
Speaker 2 (24:54):
It's self inflicted. Like doing that doing that books thing
just remind her I just how I mean, how truly
stupid I am.
Speaker 3 (25:02):
But you're done. It means you're well read.
Speaker 2 (25:04):
I'm not well read. It's it's like when it comes
to life stuff.
Speaker 1 (25:08):
I think I'm I think I'm probably a little above
average in a lot of ways, but man, certainly on
that kind of like criminally stupid.
Speaker 2 (25:17):
Why you're into what you're into?
Speaker 1 (25:20):
No, no, I know, And I've somehow managed to make
my way through that. I guess it's you know what,
It's a story of hope for a lot of people
out there.
Speaker 2 (25:25):
I think you could take some comfort. You can take
some comfort in that.
Speaker 4 (25:29):
A lot of those titles, though, are cultural touchstones, so
like I've never seen or read Lolita, but I knew
what the answer was based on.
Speaker 5 (25:36):
The clues and Lord of the Flies, like I knew
the plot of Yeah, but I've seen the movie The
Book to screen up, But I mean, what is that
going to help me in?
Speaker 1 (25:49):
I did hear a radio advertisement speaking of like movies
and things like that. I heard a radio advertised by
just telling everybody right before we came back from the break,
there's there's something that one of the local audio video plays.
Is it sell It's it'll stream first round, like movies
that are still in theaters right to your house. Oh damn,
Now that's the way to do it. Greg, I really
love that.
Speaker 2 (26:08):
Because I know they sell those type of boxes at
like the swap meet.
Speaker 1 (26:11):
But yeah, almost just a few years ago, and I
remember like those stories about hey, they're gonna be coming
out with this thing.
Speaker 2 (26:18):
I'm sure it's a big jillion dollars is it?
Speaker 6 (26:22):
But like they tried that thing with what was it
called Movie Pass where it was like unlimited movies, you
go if you go exactly.
Speaker 2 (26:30):
But then it's the going part that Greg doesn't want
to do.
Speaker 6 (26:32):
Well, I don't want to go number one, but number two.
They also have to complicate everything. It sounded too good
to be true, and sure enough it was because then
they said, oh, you can only do x amount.
Speaker 2 (26:42):
Per well, because that's when they started getting money.
Speaker 6 (26:44):
Yeah, but then don't come up with that idea. Yeah,
you don't have a pass that lets you go anytime
the end, and then they put all these caveats on it,
and then they changed it and this like just make
it normal.
Speaker 2 (26:57):
So I think the thing that you're talking about though,
what he is called the stradio e movie player? Okay,
and what does that cost? Does I have a price
on there the online? Okay, available to order, grant for
the box? Three grand for the box? Then I'm sure
there's obviously that there's a service fee.
Speaker 4 (27:16):
Because I'm seeing something else called red Carpet Home Cinema,
which was saying one thousand to three thousand of pop.
Speaker 1 (27:22):
Wait wait wait for the actual box itself or the
per movie that can't be right ye, cheaper version Yeah
again it's.
Speaker 2 (27:31):
Called the Yeah, even I would leave the house for
that price. Yeah, right, Light Escape maybe.
Speaker 3 (27:38):
Yeah, it looks like it's about three grand for the box.
Speaker 1 (27:40):
For the box, and then what's the service, Like, how
much does that cost? Because I mean, if you total
it all up, like I'm saying, for a married, married couple,
but that's a lot of movies just to break even
married couple with kids. So I'm doing the I'm doing
the math for all you non breeders out there. Again
for my wife and I, not now kids are older,
but you know, for my ife and I, when the
kids were little, we wanted to go to a movie.
(28:02):
First of all, you have to find a movie that
you want to see together, right, and sometimes it's just
getting out of the house. It doesn't matter. So forget
that you want to go to a movie. Now it's like, okay,
you gotta find the day of the time. Okay, cool,
Now you got to get the babysitter. So the babysitter
on average is doing fifteen and twenty dollars an hour,
okay these days. Okay, So you have that, then you
go and what a movie to I've been to the
(28:22):
movies in a while, but.
Speaker 2 (28:25):
Not the mat name. I'm talking like you're going, like
at a date night day, around twenty bucks for her ticket.
It was like twenty five.
Speaker 3 (28:30):
Okay, yeah, so say twenty at least.
Speaker 1 (28:32):
There's another fifty bucks all right on top of the
babysitter money. And of course, now that you're out, you're
gonna make it an evening of it. Yes, you're you're
gonna do dinner. God knows what that but let's assume
you're gonna go something like nice and casual and cheap,
all right, So you add that in there, and then
you get to the movie and you can't be in
the movie without getting at least one small soda for
forty dollars, because that's why they make all their money. Right,
(28:52):
So good news, Woddy.
Speaker 4 (28:53):
If you have one of these boxes, the movies themselves
are affordable. You can rent them for thirty dollars. You're
conjuring the last rites thirty dollars. But again, it is
that three thousand to plus upfront box costs that's going
to eat you.
Speaker 1 (29:04):
Okay, so the box you spend three thousand bucks on
and then you pay per movie per movie, you're doing
a decent deal. Actually, yeah, by today's stands.
Speaker 2 (29:13):
I mean that's because that's basically like on Apple, that's
how much it costs for like a new movie song.
You have to rebuy the box every year.
Speaker 3 (29:20):
Right, No, and right, all the math you just did
that can add up to with a babysitter and stuff.
Let's say that's two hundred bucks, So that's fifteen movies.
Speaker 1 (29:30):
Yeah, over the course of you know, whatever. Let's say
two years. How many movies you're gonna watch in two years? Yeah,
because I would imagine that the box and technology might
change a little bit. You might have to, you know,
watch movies at home box version two point zero, right
that you have to or want to do something better greater, Yeah, surgery.
Speaker 2 (29:48):
A rental where you get it for forty eight hours,
or something you can buy.
Speaker 4 (29:51):
Or rent, but of course that's digital buy of course.
Yeah yeah, right peers zone right, cool concept. Yeah, I
like that idea. You know a lot of money sacks
and they have a big backlog too, of oldham stuff
like there's have you seen black Light from Ligam Neeson Craig.
Speaker 2 (30:09):
You do like that?
Speaker 1 (30:11):
Yeah, I'm not going to get it, but it's sound
no no, because I thinking about it. I wanted to
see Oppenheimer so bad. I know, I know, forget how
bad it is. But when we first saw the trailers
and stuff like, oh dude, I'm definitely definitely go see that.
Speaker 2 (30:31):
Never make it to the theater. Then they re released
in the theaters. Never made it to that. Then they
really re released it again for a third time after
it won some awards. Still didn't see it.
Speaker 1 (30:41):
There now it's been on you know, Apple TV or
whatever everywhere for however long still to this day have
not seen it.
Speaker 2 (30:49):
Now. Part of that is because everybody's crapped on it
so hard, saying how just mega boring it was. It's
criminally boring.
Speaker 1 (31:00):
It looks pretty yeah, I told you. The next time
and going to theater is for the re release of
Back to the Future at the end of this month.
They're doing like a big anniversary edition of it in
Imax for the be able to watch the Back to
the Future.
Speaker 2 (31:13):
You like that, Greg, right, I guess so you didn't
like the original? You don't like Back to the Future.
Speaker 6 (31:17):
You know who ruined it for me was John mulaney
with his bit on how out the plot is. It's
a sci fi movie.
Speaker 2 (31:24):
I get it.
Speaker 3 (31:25):
It's teenager but friends a disgraced physicists pist.
