Speaker 1 (00:02):
I was working in the radio, in the street, 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. They've never gone.

Speaker 2 (00:13):
You know what we should really add position?

Speaker 1 (00:17):
I wonder if today's the last at Yes, the Woody Show.

Speaker 3 (00:23):
It's another new hour insensitivity trading for a politically correct
World's a pre Friday.

Speaker 1 (00:28):
She's awesome. It's Thursday morning.

Speaker 3 (00:30):
It's October the ninth, twenty twenty five. My name is
what he that is Greg Gory? We got Menace?

Speaker 1 (00:37):

Morgan is here. Good morning Morgan. We got 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, So, uh will Menace and Woody
know it? On this subject, the topic the theme book,

(01:02):
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 read a book, like getting getting getting comfortable,
like on a couch or in a nice chair. And yeah,

(01:26):
Like I'll see people in places sitting on a beach
just kind of reading the book and they're so into it.
My wife will do that. It's fun and and she
loves it. 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

(01:48):
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, or it's it's not even
like I don't.

Speaker 2 (01:59):
I don't want to tell you fiction.

Speaker 4 (02:01):
I don't.

Speaker 2 (02:02):
Yeah, I can. I can't.

Speaker 3 (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 5 (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 3 (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 pick it up and read about.

Speaker 2 (02:34):
You personality disorder.

Speaker 4 (02:36):
It sounds like it.

Speaker 1 (02:37):
Yeah, it's just it's just less interesting.

Speaker 4 (02:39):
Well, but maybe it's the space. Like we have this
little bonus room and we put books in it and
a nice.

Speaker 1 (02:44):
Chair and a globe.

Speaker 2 (02:46):
So fine.

Speaker 6 (02:49):
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
and see it.

Speaker 4 (02:57):
Yeah, you were going off when you saw somebody reading
on so bitch.

Speaker 6 (03:04):
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.

Speaker 1 (03:10):
Reading a book.

Speaker 6 (03:11):
But you know, yeah, but you know she was wearing
the hips or uniform just the show.

Speaker 1 (03:17):
Bitch, look at me.

Speaker 6 (03:19):
I'm better than everybody on this plane that is listening
to something or watching something.

Speaker 1 (03:23):
I'm reading my book. That's totally probably what she.

Speaker 3 (03:26):
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.

Speaker 1 (03:43):
But that's that's that's typically your vibe on things. Yeah,
nd percent.

Speaker 2 (03:47):
Okay, so what is it about this thing you?

Speaker 6 (03:49):
Because she just had the hips her uniform, which is clothing.
It's very hard to describe, but I would just say, like,
like somebody that you wearing.

Speaker 4 (04:01):
Uh, did she like the wolf haircut?

Speaker 6 (04:03):
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.

Speaker 2 (04:12):
They like to wear ironic T shirts with like long skirts.

Speaker 6 (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.

Speaker 1 (04:27):
At me, I'm reading my.

Speaker 6 (04:29):
H I'm better than you?

Speaker 3 (04:33):
Is this how I sound when I was making the
chopsticks argument years.

Speaker 6 (04:36):
Ago about like, but because people don't wear a special
outfit to use their chopsticks.

Speaker 3 (04:45):
But you know that 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, I'm tak

(05:05):
these really two thin sticks and I'm going to like
you know.

Speaker 1 (05:08):
But your argument was never about efficiency. It was that
the person using them wants to look because of the
lack of efficiency.

Speaker 3 (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?

Speaker 6 (05:26):
Right?

Speaker 2 (05:26):
Yeah, you would use them at all places because.

Speaker 1 (05:28):
I like them.

Speaker 6 (05:29):
But I'm not wearing, like again, a special outfit.

Speaker 3 (05:32):
I'm not trying to go back and rehash the chops conversation, but.

Speaker 6 (05:37):
Its down it's intentional to not because I think, like,
I want a snowshovel sized spoon.

Speaker 3 (05:44):
I don't want the little spin on with the bigger spills, right,
I want it piled right into my mouth.

Speaker 6 (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.
That's different your book.

Speaker 1 (06:05):
Yeah a woman too, Yeah, five minutes.

Speaker 6 (06:10):
Okay, so everyone has to get up and grab their
drinks and stand in the eye.

Speaker 2 (06:13):
That's a long way to go to say I hate books.

Speaker 3 (06:15):
Yeah, I like, I love I love audio books.

Speaker 1 (06:21):
Audio books are cool.

Speaker 4 (06:23):
You're still getting the story.

Speaker 3 (06:24):
Yeah, yeah, And I do like it better not when
they have a completely third party pert.

Speaker 1 (06:30):
Like.

Speaker 3 (06:30):
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,
because they.

Speaker 4 (06:40):
Are telling their story.

Speaker 1 (06:41):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (06:42):
I like that too.

Speaker 1 (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. Yes, you stay up way
too late. I imagine how 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? That
would be John?

Speaker 2 (07:02):
I read.

Speaker 3 (07:03):
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 TV because.

Speaker 4 (07:10):
Three other option was taken away.

Speaker 2 (07:11):
That's that's when I read that stuff. But I loved it.

Speaker 1 (07:16):
I heard the name of that. Is it about Pelicans?

Speaker 2 (07:19):
Pelican Brief?

Speaker 3 (07:20):
Yeah, they made a movie out of it.

Speaker 2 (07:24):
It was a serious movie, so mans wouldn't watch that.

Speaker 1 (07:26):
Yeah, comedies? Is he? Which one is the airport author?
Is it James Patterson?

Speaker 2 (07:33):
James Patters? Is it also John? He was?

Speaker 1 (07:37):
Greg?

Speaker 5 (07:37):
I know, you gotta get crap because those are not
considered very serious.

Speaker 2 (07:40):
They're very pulpy.

Speaker 4 (07:41):
Sure, so they're entertaining for ye, right, still fun.

Speaker 1 (07:44):
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 3 (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 1 (08:05):
They're like help books.

Speaker 4 (08:06):
Okay, they're called that.

Speaker 2 (08:09):
Robbins mail, Robbins right.

Speaker 7 (08:11):
But I've never read her book. Does she have books?

Speaker 3 (08:13):
Yeah? 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 1 (08:28):
Wow, that sounds so hipster right there?

Speaker 7 (08:29):
Right, I don't like to talk about totally.

Speaker 3 (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 of life.

Speaker 4 (08:48):
Okay, Yeah, that's a big one.

Speaker 2 (08:53):
I'm not I'm not making fun of you.

Speaker 3 (08:54):
I'm just making for the name sounds very like, Yeah,
like that's a name, Like have you read a book
by that guy? You would throw it around because it
makes you sound I think.

Speaker 1 (09:02):
I have that really don't in my family room as
we speak? Yeah?

Speaker 6 (09:08):
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 to one of
our listeners put that out so it's available now.

Speaker 2 (09:27):
Possible trademark violation. No, you can write.

Speaker 3 (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.

Speaker 6 (09:42):
Disney shouts them out all the time because they have
a popular Instagram page called Disney Food Blog.

Speaker 1 (09:48):
Yeah, I've seen that.

Speaker 2 (09:49):
I've seen that.

Speaker 3 (09:49):
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? The topic is books, and so you
have just a basic description.

Speaker 4 (09:59):
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 3 (10:06):
Okay, now, Will Medace 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 a
multiple choice at that point, Okay, how.

Speaker 1 (10:17):
Almost a lifelias and then you get it.

Speaker 4 (10:19):
Yeah, you definitely have to guess.

Speaker 3 (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 4 (10:28):
It is there.

Speaker 1 (10:29):
Yeah, they're there.

Speaker 4 (10:30):
You might stumble into a few of these.

Speaker 3 (10:32):
No, no, here are some multiple choices. So we'll do
that next here on The Wood Show eight seven seven
forty four.

Speaker 1 (10:38):
Wood I've developed this dude thing in my head that
if I go to the same place every day, the
employees at that place, we're gonna go book. Oh god,
he's here again. You're so tortured. Man, I am the
wood Show.

Speaker 2 (10:54):
Let's play this game. Will Woody and Menace know it?
The theme booked books?

Speaker 1 (11:01):
Books?

Speaker 2 (11:01):
He hadn't liked the idea of books, menus, I guess
not so much.

Speaker 1 (11:03):
Doesn't like the idea of it makes an yeah's trigger
for me. Yeah. I do like audiobooks though, and I
do yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (11:13):
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, 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 4 (11:31):
Right now, would somebody keep score for it? Maybe? Greg?

Speaker 1 (11:34):
Thank you? Yeah?

Speaker 4 (11:35):
Yeah, I mean first first book. 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 6 (11:55):
Oh, I think I know this one.

Speaker 3 (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 5 (12:09):
That guy wrote that book in my high school, by
the way, on his experience was teaching young youths gave away.

Speaker 3 (12:15):
Yeah, well wait, yeah, wait, wait to give us all
the answers there, Yeah.

Speaker 1 (12:21):
I'm gonna guess the only thing I.

Speaker 6 (12:22):
Can think of is Lolita Lida final answer everybody.

Speaker 2 (12:28):
No, beautiful mind.

Speaker 4 (12:31):
Okay, beautiful mind.

Speaker 1 (12:32):
That's the book, because I know it's the movie. Yeah,
but that's another professor.

Speaker 6 (12:35):
I'm like getting out some shake up in there.

Speaker 2 (12:39):
I'm with you. I don't know okay, neither one of us, right.

Speaker 1 (12:42):
But I know there was like the Lolita was like
the underage thing. Woody.

Speaker 4 (12:46):
I think you might be overthinking it because Menace is
one thousand, correct, is that right?

Speaker 3 (12:51):
Yeah?

Speaker 6 (12:54):
On the professor, I've never even seen the movie either.

Speaker 2 (12:58):
She's going books here too. So well, remember we've done.

Speaker 4 (13:02):
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.

Speaker 1 (13:09):
Next book.

Speaker 4 (13:10):
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 6 (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.

Speaker 2 (13:30):
Not that famous.

Speaker 4 (13:31):
This is very slum Dog Millionaire of Menace.

Speaker 1 (13:33):
It's not very famous. It is yeah, super famous. Right, yeah,
everyone just throwing us off.

Speaker 2 (13:39):
The reason I said that is this.

Speaker 3 (13:41):
Throwing the guy who's gonna win this game off. Menace
is really getting down at the bottom of this one.

Speaker 2 (13:44):
Famous you should know.

Speaker 5 (13:45):
Oh my god, god, dude, goodness, great, Sorry, trying to
have fun over here, Okay, talking it through.

Speaker 1 (13:54):
God, I can oh no, not even close. That movie
like it came out in the seventies, right or sixties?

Speaker 4 (14:04):
No way to know?

Speaker 2 (14:05):
All right, what multiple choice?

Speaker 4 (14:07):
Okay, is it Atonement, Lord of the Flies or The
Adventures of Huckleberry Finn.

Speaker 1 (14:15):
Lord Lord of the Flies?

Speaker 4 (14:17):
You're both correct?

Speaker 1 (14:18):
Okay? Nice?

Speaker 3 (14:19):
Yeah, heck, yeah, I know you Huckleberry face like you said,
descends into yeah, yep, savagery.

Speaker 1 (14:24):
Yeah right, all right?

Speaker 4 (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 1 (14:42):
Help.

Speaker 2 (14:45):
I don't because you have to guess. Okay, one more time.

Speaker 4 (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.

Speaker 6 (15:09):
Of course he has smart And just when I even
I got this, nice, didn't they.

Speaker 6 (15:23):
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 1 (15:36):
Go to the ariial. Yeah, I got to the options.

Speaker 4 (15:42):
The options is it beloved Atonement or the color purple?

Speaker 3 (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 6 (15:58):
Yeah, I'm gonna say the color purp because that's the
only one that I know out of those three.

Speaker 4 (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 3 (16:12):
Yeah, that's why when you said the color purple, that's
a that's the Oprah part that popped.

Speaker 2 (16:17):
In my brain.

Speaker 1 (16:17):
Yeah, huh, very good. I mean, just you know version Menace?

Speaker 4 (16:22):
Yeah, and a musical.

Speaker 2 (16:23):
A musical.

Speaker 4 (16:25):
Yeah, it's Tony Orbin. Maybe you've heard of it.

Speaker 2 (16:27):
Everyone want we.

Speaker 1 (16:29):
Got all right?

Speaker 3 (16:29):
So will everyone Woody and Menace know it? The topic
books next one next plot.

Speaker 4 (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 4 (16:50):
Yeah seriously.

Speaker 5 (16:51):
Wow, not Home Alone and it features a guy with
a defiant personality disorder.

Speaker 4 (16:56):
Gregg again killing it.

Speaker 1 (16:58):
He keeps writing them down it is and I recently
just got it again to reread.

Speaker 2 (17:04):
They make it into a movie, Can I watch it?

Speaker 4 (17:06):
No more questions?

Speaker 1 (17:07):
It's not Bob Dylan, Greg's no phony this one. I
have no clue on. To be honest, I.

Speaker 3 (17:14):
Like the Home Alone Guests. That's good, but I'll be
more specific Home Alone Lost in New York.

Speaker 4 (17:21):
Answer.

Speaker 1 (17:22):
My guess would be that would he probably went through
life without reading it. But I bet you did.

Speaker 2 (17:26):
Men really read no books.

Speaker 1 (17:30):
Because we went kind of the same area of schools
and I think they all had the exact same reading.

Speaker 4 (17:35):
That doesn't mean he read it.

Speaker 6 (17:35):
But the only book I remember ever is Flowers for Algam.

Speaker 4 (17:42):
We did have to read.

Speaker 3 (17:42):
I remember Tuck Everlasting in like Beverly Cleary and Judy Bloom.

Speaker 4 (17:47):
You stopped reading in like fourth grade and Tales of
fourth grade enough super Yeah, the mouse and the motorcycle
or the yep. 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 6 (18:06):
I mean, remember what Catcher in the Right I've heard
of that. I know, Catcher in the Right is super famous.

Speaker 3 (18:13):
Yeah, but I couldn't tell you what it's about me neither,
So I'm Catcher in the Right.

Speaker 4 (18:20):
So the first one, one hundred years of Solitude.

Speaker 1 (18:23):
In the third one, Never let Me Go?

Speaker 2 (18:25):
Yeah, I don't know those.

Speaker 6 (18:26):
I mean, I've heard of one hundred years of Solitude,
but I haven't heard that, so catching the Rise.

Speaker 3 (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 4 (18:40):
Menace keeps backing into the right answers the Catcher in
the Right.

Speaker 1 (18:45):
Of all three titles, that's the most that's the most classic.

Speaker 2 (18:49):
Yeah, well, I just read one hundred years of Solitude,
man as that suck.

Speaker 1 (18:53):
Catcher in the Rye, I think.

Speaker 4 (18:54):
That's about It's a metaphor of.

Speaker 2 (18:57):
A baseball gets a hooker.

Speaker 4 (19:01):
Like rebellion to be the catcher in the ride, the
catching the kids before they grow up and become phonies.

Speaker 6 (19:08):
Should read it's good. Yeah, you fast forward to the hooker.

Speaker 1 (19:13):
Read all right, here we go.

Speaker 4 (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 6 (19:27):
Overthrows the United States?

Speaker 2 (19:28):
Do you greg get it right?

Speaker 4 (19:34):
Okay, so you know it.

Speaker 1 (19:36):

Speaker 3 (19:37):
Right? He goes, Oh wait, there must be this other
one that yeah, I know.

Speaker 4 (19:42):
No, I could give another I could give, but I
don't think it's going to help either of you.

Speaker 1 (19:48):
Did he write did he write down the Boston tea party?
That was my first guest, That was my second guest.

Speaker 4 (19:53):
Okay, you want me to read it again?

Speaker 1 (19:54):
Yeah? Yeah.

Speaker 4 (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 1 (20:05):
Does it have to do with aliens? What's the one
with hal Menace? What was it?

Speaker 4 (20:11):
I could give a little hint, but I don't know
if it will help.

Speaker 7 (20:14):
No.

Speaker 2 (20:14):
Well, you're gonna have multiple choice, right, yeah?

Speaker 1 (20:16):
All right?

Speaker 8 (20:16):
Uh yeah, he best to get me, you know school. Yeah,
I don't know, d just make up something.

Speaker 2 (20:30):
Yeah, I give people wonder why I hate myself so much?

Speaker 3 (20:33):
They do. They go like, I don't get it, man,
like you have so much to be I'm like, yeah,
I know.

Speaker 6 (20:37):
But like Boston versus Aliens, Yes, okay, Boston Aliens.

Speaker 1 (20:41):
What's your Boston versus Aliens?

Speaker 6 (20:43):
What's your?

Speaker 2 (20:44):
What's it?

Speaker 1 (20:44):
What's was it? How? What was how? How was space?

Speaker 2 (20:48):
Space house?

Speaker 1 (20:49):
Yeah? Two, that's one space.

Speaker 4 (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 1 (21:01):
Fahrenheit four fifty one sounds like ominous? Yeah, like a
specific what was the first one? Again?

Speaker 4 (21:12):
Brave New World?

Speaker 1 (21:13):
Brave New World.

Speaker 3 (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.

Speaker 2 (21:25):
Yeah, I'll do this, Brave New World.

Speaker 4 (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.

Speaker 6 (21:36):
Going to help them out on this.

Speaker 4 (21:37):
You know what I was going to say, sea beasts.
I was like, it's not going to help them. The
new government of Gilead, Oh.

Speaker 2 (21:42):
That was gonna that was gonna be a that's.

Speaker 4 (21:46):
The new name of the United States.

Speaker 2 (21:47):
The key word is patriarchy.

Speaker 4 (21:49):
Yeah, exactly what.

Speaker 1 (21:50):
Was about controlling pregnancies and stuff like the Handmaid?

Speaker 6 (21:53):
If that was semi in the description of the plot,
I would have got it because I did watch some
of The Handsmaid's tail.

Speaker 4 (22:00):
There you go, all right, you want one more?

Speaker 2 (22:02):
You mean one more?

Speaker 4 (22:03):
Okay?

Speaker 3 (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 4 (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 Wayden's
your clue, by the way, so you definitely had to

(22:32):
read in high school.

Speaker 5 (22:34):
I actually read it five six years ago.

Speaker 2 (22:38):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (22:38):
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 4 (22:56):
Quantum Leap, Boston versus Aliens or whatever, And at the
end he always wants his last leap to be the
leap home, right.

Speaker 1 (23:13):
Damn it? Not saving Private Ryan. That was gonna be
my guest? Was that the book? Yeah, I'm saving Private.

Speaker 4 (23:24):
Ryan, 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 1 (23:37):
I've heard of none of those.

Speaker 3 (23:39):
I meant some of the fury. Alchemist sounds familiar. Yeah,
Alchemist okay?

Speaker 1 (23:49):
And Menace number three I don't know.

Speaker 4 (23:52):
Slaughterhouse five, Oh no, that sounds like a.

Speaker 1 (23:59):
Number two.

Speaker 4 (24:00):
The Sound of the Fury, yea man, if you should
have gone with your gut, the answer is Slaughterhouse Spy.
Greg's gonna total up the Uh, well.

Speaker 5 (24:13):
Done, thank you, thanks crushing it, crush everything.

Speaker 1 (24:19):
Yeah, well we got four and two.

Speaker 4 (24:23):
Well done, everybody.

Speaker 2 (24:25):
Man, Do you have a great reading list?

Speaker 1 (24:27):
Oh? Yeah, the show book Club.

Speaker 3 (24:29):
Yeah, I can't imagine, all right, eight seven seven forty four.
Thank you, Gina, Thank you Gina. That was depressing.

Speaker 2 (24:40):
Yeah, I mean, I obviously don't care.

Speaker 3 (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.

Speaker 3 (24:55):
Like doing that doing that books thing just remind her
I just how, I mean, how truly stupid I am.

Speaker 4 (25:02):
You're done. It means you're not well read.

Speaker 2 (25:04):
I'm not well read.

Speaker 3 (25:05):
It's it's like when it comes to life stuff. 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 1 (25:17):
Why you're into what you're into?

Speaker 3 (25:20):
No, no, I know, and I've somehow managed to make
my way through life. I guess it's you know what,
it's a story of hope for a lot of people
out there.

Speaker 1 (25:25):
I think.

Speaker 2 (25:27):
You could take some comfort. You can take some comfort
in that.

Speaker 5 (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 the clues and.

Speaker 6 (25:37):
Lord of the Flies, like I knew the plot of Yeah,
but I've seen the movie the book trying to screen up.

Speaker 1 (25:46):
But I mean, what is that going to help me in?

Speaker 3 (25:49):
I did hear a radio advertisement speaking of like movies
and things like that. I heard a radio advertised, But
I was 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.

Speaker 1 (26:07):
Greg. I really love that.

Speaker 6 (26:08):
Because I know they sell those type of boxes at
like the swap meet.

Speaker 3 (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. I'm sure it's a big jillion dollars,
is it?

Speaker 1 (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. But then it's the going
part that Greg doesn't want to do. 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 per.

Speaker 6 (26:42):
Well, because that's when they start getting money.

Speaker 1 (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 6 (26:57):
So I think the thing that you're talking about though,
what he is called the stradio e movie player okay?

Speaker 1 (27:04):
And what does that cost? Does I have a price on?
There is click online okay available to order grant for
the box.

Speaker 3 (27:12):
Three grand for the box, then I'm sure there's obviously
that there's a service feeau.

Speaker 5 (27:17):
I'm seeing something else called red Carpet Home Cinema, which
was saying one thousand to three thousand of pop Wait
wait wait for the actual box itself or the per.

Speaker 4 (27:25):
Movie that can't be right cheaper version.

Speaker 1 (27:30):
Yeah again it's called Yeah even I would leave the
house for that price, yeah, right, Light Escape maybe.

Speaker 4 (27:38):
Yeah, it looks like it's about three grand for the box.

Speaker 3 (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.

Speaker 1 (27:48):
But that's a lot of movies just to break even.

Speaker 2 (27:50):
Married couple with kids.

Speaker 3 (27:51):
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. 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

(28:12):
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 movies in a while, but.

Speaker 2 (28:25):
Not the mat name. I'm talking like, you're going like.

Speaker 1 (28:27):
A date night day around twenty bucks for her ticket.
It was like twenty five.

Speaker 4 (28:30):
Oh yeah, so say twenty at least.

Speaker 1 (28:32):
There's another fifty bucks. Yeah, 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.

Speaker 2 (28:38):
Yes, you're you're gonna do dinner. God knows what that.

Speaker 3 (28:41):
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.

Speaker 1 (28:52):
Right, So good news, Woddy.

Speaker 5 (28:53):
If you have one of these boxes, the movies themselves
are affordable. You can rent them for thirty dollars. Here's
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 3 (29:04):
Okay, so the box you spend three thousand bucks on
and then you pay per movie per.

Speaker 2 (29:10):
Movie, you're doing a decent deal. Actually, yeah, by today's stands.

Speaker 6 (29:13):
I mean that's because that's basically like on Apple, that's
how much it costs for like a new movie.

Speaker 2 (29:18):
Right, a song.

Speaker 1 (29:19):
You have to rebuy the box every year, right, No, and.

Speaker 4 (29:22):
Fright, 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 3 (29:30):
Yeah, over the course of you know whatever, Let's say
two years. How many movies are 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.

Speaker 1 (29:47):
Yeah, surgery rental where you get it for forty eight hours,
or something you.

Speaker 2 (29:50):
Can buy or rent, but of course that's digital buy
of course.

Speaker 1 (29:54):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (29:54):
Yeah, Pierson Zone right.

Speaker 1 (29:56):
Cool concept. Yeah, I like that idea.

Speaker 5 (29:58):
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 Ligham Neeson Craig, you.

Speaker 1 (30:09):
Do like that?

Speaker 3 (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.
Never make it to the theater. Then they re released

(30:33):
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 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 1 (30:49):
Now.

Speaker 3 (30:49):
Part of that is because everybody's crapped on it so hard,
saying how just mega boring it was.

Speaker 1 (30:55):
It's criminally boring.

Speaker 3 (31:00):
It looks pretty Yeah, I told you. The next time
in 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 vie be able to watch the og
back to the Future.

Speaker 1 (31:13):
You like that, Greg, right?

Speaker 2 (31:14):
I guess so you didn't like the original? You don't
like Back to the Future.

Speaker 1 (31:18):
You know who ruined it for me was John mulaney
with his bit on how out the plot is.

Speaker 2 (31:23):
It's a sci fi movie.

Speaker 1 (31:24):
I get it.

Speaker 4 (31:25):
It's teenager but friends a disgraced physicists physicist. It's so good.

Speaker 1 (31:31):
I do find it odd that that's your all time
favorite movie. Really yeah, why what's odd about it? Though?
Because it's, to use genus favorite word, it's too whimsical.

Speaker 5 (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.

Speaker 3 (31:58):
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 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,

(32:19):
like 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.

Speaker 1 (32:32):
Somebody bought it. Oh damn it?

Speaker 2 (32:36):
Right eight seven seven forty four.

Speaker 3 (32:37):
Woodie, you can set us a text, hit us up,
check in over to two two nine eighty seven.

Speaker 2 (32:42):
We'll be right back. How dumb are you on the show.
I'll be right back
