And now the show is happy to bring you.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
I'm pissed about or have some respects midweek meltdown melt down.
Speaker 3 (00:13):
I honestly believe that this dumb radio segment does more
for change and getting your voice out there than actually
running for office.
Speaker 1 (00:25):
You're louder here on the radio, I am, you know,
you just loud in general.
Speaker 3 (00:30):
But listen, it's not always about local issues or politics
or anything like that. This is everything annoys this guy.
He's like the Hulk. He's always angry. That's the that's
the key to this. And so what has irritated you
this week?
Speaker 2 (00:44):
This is something that's always annoyed me, but I've never
really felt the need to rant about it. Last year
I almost did, but I felt like the time passed.
But this year something went viral a few days ago
and I was like, here we go, it's back on.
And I think overclapping has been an issue for years
(01:06):
in our society.
Speaker 1 (01:07):
Overclapping people that clap too much. You know, guy's been clapper.
Speaker 2 (01:14):
I think it's been an issue for years in our society.
I remember watching t r L back in the day
and people clapping like lunatics in and.
Speaker 1 (01:22):
Out of commercial breaks.
Speaker 2 (01:24):
I go to recovery stuff all the time, and I
think the overclapping there needs to end. What are we
clapping so much for accomplishments? We celebrate people too much.
It's all about how we're softless society. And every year
we see these celebrities go to this Venice Film Festival.
(01:45):
I like to call it douche Fest. It's the douchiest
thing on earth, that's what you like to call it,
douche fest.
Speaker 1 (01:52):
Fest again.
Speaker 2 (01:56):
And it's a bunch of rich, self entitled people and
they're all just pat themselves in the back for how
great they are, and they're all but but like but again,
though I don't blame them, I blame us. Where the
ones that put these normal people on these giant pedestals
to treat them like gods like That's so it's our fault.
So all that being said, my rant today isn't about
the Venice Film Festival. It's about insanely long standing ovations
(02:20):
and just standing ovations in general. First of all, when
did a standing ovation mean so little? I remember you
went back in the day when I was a kid.
You had to earn a standing ovation, you had to
win an icon award, you had to be nominated one
hundred times like Susan Lucci, and then fly great reference
and then wow like Martin Scorsese when he went for
(02:42):
The Departed, And even those standing ovations were like a
little bit. They wouldn't go that long. We're live on
TV here, We're live here, We're live here.
Speaker 1 (02:48):
Got it?
Speaker 2 (02:49):
You know that you had to earn those standing ovations.
If I'm getting up out of my seat, it's for
something special. And what are you clapping for thirty seconds?
We were at a radio convention, Emily, you missed us
a couple weeks ago or a month ago, and some
woman won an award.
Speaker 1 (03:04):
I don't know who she is. Eddie and Scott don't
know who they are. And this these.
Speaker 2 (03:09):
Two kiss asses got out of their seats and gave
this woman a stand.
Speaker 3 (03:13):
Everybody was doing standing standing up? Am I going to
be the able that doesn't? I look over and this
stopping sitting there in the room, sitting. Yeah, yeah, she
didn't earn his standing up.
Speaker 1 (03:33):
Sky was the first one up. Sky was the first one,
and then gave Eddie gave the god, I guess we're
doing this and I go, I'm not.
Speaker 2 (03:39):
Gonna how can you standing ovations means something to me,
But how can you.
Speaker 1 (03:43):
Say you don't know who she is.
Speaker 4 (03:45):
We just got thirty minutes on her entire career before
the standing ovation.
Speaker 1 (03:49):
True, didn't mean anything to me.
Speaker 4 (03:52):
But with that said, I do kind of have to
have your back a little bit because I've been going
regularly to these musical performances downtown, great musicals. So I
go to Hamilton. The end of Hamilton, of course, everyone stands.
I get it.
Speaker 1 (04:08):
I get it. It's the end of a play. I get that.
But and it's Hambleton. You earned it.
Speaker 4 (04:13):
But then I'll go see some that are new and
it's like based on you know, like corn fields or something,
and then everyone.
Speaker 1 (04:21):
Gets back to the future. Uh musical that you saw?
Speaker 4 (04:25):
Yeah it was, it was some parts were rough, but
I but again, but I'll still stand.
Speaker 1 (04:30):
Just like I said, I'm not going to be means
little now.
Speaker 2 (04:33):
It's like it's like when you watch The Bachelor and
everyone loves everybody and the word love means nothing anymore.
Speaker 1 (04:38):
That's standing ovations.
Speaker 3 (04:39):
So you're telling me that you know all these icons
getting the standing ovation, that Angela Bassett didn't deserve a
standing location for performance in Black Panther Wakonda Forever.
Speaker 1 (04:51):
No, I don't think so. Well, that's crazy. I don't think.
Speaker 3 (04:56):
There was a standing ovation. There was for one of
the awards shows, this one, I believe.
Speaker 1 (05:02):
So I'm making my point.
Speaker 2 (05:03):
I'm making my point that standing ovations have gone too far.
But what's really gone too far is when I turn
on the social media TikTok, Twitter or whatever.
Speaker 1 (05:13):
I turn it on like a television for someone. I
turn online again with my af.
Speaker 2 (05:22):
And I see a video of the Rock, Dwayne the
Rock Johnson getting a fifteen minute standing ovation.
Speaker 1 (05:33):
Wait, now we've gone to wait a minute.
Speaker 2 (05:35):
Imagine clapping for thirty seconds, like sitting here, and if
I just don't say anything, we just clapped for that's
a long time. Fifteen minutes standing ovation. Maybe was that good?
You did a movie It's called The Smashing Machine. It's
about a fighter who was addicted to drugs. How original? Okay,
you got a fifteen minute standing ovation.
Speaker 1 (05:58):
That it could be good.
Speaker 2 (05:58):
I've seen sure could be good, but nothing's that good.
Nothing's going to be life changing to get a fifteen
minute standing ovation.
Speaker 1 (06:07):
Tell I've seen guys.
Speaker 2 (06:09):
And kids beat cancer, ring the bell because they beat
cancer and get less standing ovation.
Speaker 1 (06:14):
That's fifteen minutes. That is definitely true. That is I mean,
it's one of the it's one of.
Speaker 2 (06:18):
The craziest things I've ever and these people like it's normal.
It's not normal to do that fifteen minutes, eighteen minutes straight.
And do you know what's even wilder? Oh no, that
wasn't even the longest one of the weekend. There was
one that went on for hold on, let me find
this in my notes here. There was a standing ovation
for a movie called The Voice of Him, A job
(06:41):
going on for twenty three minutes, stacks.
Speaker 1 (06:47):
The long time? What are you claping for? And I
want to go home?
Speaker 2 (06:52):
I start thinking, I start thinking, oh god, I start thinking,
what are the conversations like in the crowd, Like there's
gotta be somebody like one of us who were like, dude,
when can we stop?
Speaker 1 (07:06):
Like this is going like my hands they're bleeding. What
if you you've just watched a whole movie? What if
you have to take a crap? I don't know, I
don't know.
Speaker 2 (07:18):
Are you gonna get shunned from Hollywood if you sneak
out and leave? What are these conversations to to your point?
At that same film festival, Brendan Fraser got a fifteen
minute standing ovation for his performance in The Whale, which
I saw.
Speaker 1 (07:37):
It was good. I thought Brendan did a good job.
Speaker 3 (07:40):
I mean, obviously one best actor, all that stuff, you know, prosthetically.
I thought it was a little weird, but whatever, but
we gave the Encino Man minutes standing ovation. I think
part of it is that, you know, if you've had
a career that's you know, George of the Jungle and
you have a great performance, if you're the people's champion,
(08:03):
if you're the final Boss and you finally do a
great performance, maybe that's what we're clapping.
Speaker 2 (08:09):
I get it.
Speaker 1 (08:10):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (08:11):
Ninety seconds is wild, Like ninety seconds is wild.
Speaker 1 (08:16):
That's a long standing on long standing on the sitcom.
That's half the King of Queen's episode. Think about that, okay,
and I just don't Kevin James, I'd give a fifteen minutes.
Speaker 2 (08:28):
And do I start thinking, Eddie, like, what are the
people in the crowd thinking, like, they must hate you?
Speaker 1 (08:34):
Got it?
Speaker 2 (08:34):
At this point you're clapping so and you hate now
you hate the people you're clapping for. You've turned and
now you hate them, right, Just clapping, Well, you're just
standing for so long? But also how did this start? Like,
so I started googling like when this started? And I
couldn't really at the Venus Field bus, Okay, so I
started thinking, I'm like, I wonder if this started as
like a prank, like if a bunch like the Saw,
(08:55):
like a really bad movie and they're like, let's clap
for how bad this is and then and then we
won't stop, and then it just kept going.
Speaker 1 (09:02):
But now it's turned where if you.
Speaker 2 (09:04):
Don't get a really really long standing ovation, is your
movie crap?
Speaker 1 (09:09):
Do you suck?
Speaker 2 (09:10):
Like you put out a good movie but you only
get a one minute standing ovation? Like you must feel
awful about yourself. It's terrible. Yeah, what are we doing?
Speaker 1 (09:18):
Well?
Speaker 4 (09:18):
And stop? And I saw a clip of Jesse Plemons,
you know that guy from the Venice Film Festival, and
they were doing fifteen minutes for him and he looked awkward,
like what about?
Speaker 1 (09:29):
Like could you not like?
Speaker 3 (09:31):
Standing ovation lasted so long that the rock lost all
his weight and muscle.
Speaker 1 (09:38):
While sitting there. You see the picture of you see
the picture of him.
Speaker 2 (09:43):
Protein that was very short, very short.
Speaker 1 (09:51):
Imagine like we're normal people Jamie's a normal guy. We're
not selecting.
Speaker 2 (09:55):
But imagine like you just happened to walk into that theater,
have your pop or soda?
Speaker 1 (10:04):
Anybody. Let's just say, let's bear with me.
Speaker 2 (10:08):
You walk in, you got the popcorn, you bought a ticket,
and you're like, man, when is this You think all
these people are possessed or in a cold for clapping
that long.
Speaker 1 (10:17):
We're doing this. Not normal, We're doing this for the Smurfs.
It's not normal, dude, the hell is going on? Listen?
He made some good points here. I'm not gonna lie.
It is odd, it is weird. Thank you. I would
give you a standing out, but you don't like it. No,
just give me a head nod. Hey, I'm just that's all.
(10:37):
I'm not even gonna give you that. I'm not even
gonna give you that
And now the show is happy to bring you.
