Speaker 1 (00:20):
Hi everyone, I am Jeff and welcome to History and
Factoids about Today Today my co host, he is a
filmmaking basically stud all the way from the original concept
all the way to the finished film. Does it in
all genres? Big time? AI guy. So Jeff, why don't
you go to induce yourself?
Speaker 2 (00:35):
Hi everybody, I'm Jeff Bader and yeah, like Jeff said,
over twenty years of video production, editing for TV and film,
and I'm co founder of Twisted Reels Production, and we
specialize in cinematic trailers, demo reels and yeah, concept development
power by AI. You know, getting your ideas to come alfe,
(00:57):
come to life, you know, is our specialty.
Speaker 1 (01:00):
Have you always been in that kind of field or
did you start off somewhere else? You said twenty years?
Speaker 2 (01:04):
Yeah, I mean ever since I was a kid, we
got a family video camera from those JC Penny brand
VHS camera and ever since, you know, early nineties, I've
been making movies and stop motion with my toys and
just constantly, you know, pushing the brown boundaries of what
a kid could could make with a camera.
Speaker 1 (01:22):
So what do you do you have anything as specifically
you like to do most or do you just kind
of just take the whole genre as it is.
Speaker 2 (01:28):
Yeah, I love everything about it. You know, I'm a
hands on guy, and you know, I want to see
it through from from original you know, spark of an
idea to storyboards to script. You know, I want to
be on set and then you know, I edit everything
I do, so kind of you know, wear all hats.
But I'm learning to delegate more. And I love directing.
(01:51):
I think I love being behind the camera and directing actors.
And then also, you know, Ai has just been blowing
me away lately and just you know, things I can
create just to get the idea out of my head.
You know, it's it's it's hard sometimes as a creative person.
You want to you know, get this this spark of
an idea out, and it's just it just helps me,
you know, in that way, use it as a tool
(02:13):
to to create things that I normally couldn't.
Speaker 1 (02:16):
You guys really got something special going out there with
Twisted Wheels Production that really good products. We'll have a
link to it for all you guys later at the
end of the show and all that. But we've had
your partner Daphne on there, and then we had Davidy
does your Drone work.
Speaker 2 (02:29):
Yeah, yeah, it's amazing team. And you know, we just
you know, pushing the envelope of what we can do
as a small, you know, boutique cinematic you know, powerhouse
basically with Drone, with Daphnese connections and producing and and
her music talents, and it's just been a blast to
(02:50):
to create with them. And uh, I can't wait to
show you guys what we have on our new website.
Speaker 1 (02:55):
So when you were a kid, were you one of
those av nerds?
Speaker 2 (02:58):
Oh? Yeah, one hundred percent. I was making movies and
you know, all my final exams and things where I
was like, you know, can I make this into a
movie and share the class? And yeah, I was always
the weird video guy.
Speaker 1 (03:12):
So how hard has it been? I mean the technology
has just been exploding quickly. How hard is it to
keep up?
Speaker 2 (03:18):
It's really hard. Yeah, I mean I was looking today,
you know some of these AI programs. It's just every
day something new comes out. So you know, I'm constantly
learning and seeing what's trending and following other filmmakers and
editors and you know, what are you guys using? And yeah,
it's just a constant evolution.
Speaker 1 (03:36):
So you guys do such quality work when you're can
you actually just watch a film or do you just
critique it the whole time where they should have done
this and they should have done that.
Speaker 2 (03:44):
Yeah, yeah, I do. You know, I admired a lot
of filmmakers and it's hard to just get wrapped up
in a story and not be like, oh my god,
that was such a good shot. You know how they
set that dollar shot up? You know it Just it
is tough because it's a lot of you know, backstage
stuff I'm thinking about.
Speaker 1 (04:02):
Alrighty, do you know what we're gonna celebrate today?
Speaker 2 (04:05):
No? Tell me?
Speaker 1 (04:06):
Okay, never knew where I came from. Just when hard combine, you.
Speaker 3 (04:13):
See, if time's got tough, man, I couldn't. They went
to hell so I could do and the milk Mom
and Da.
Speaker 1 (04:26):
These monies today is National Payback your Parents' Day. No,
you don't have to cut him a check for three
hundred and seventy five thousand dollars. That's what it is
nowadays to raise a kid until they're eighteen, Sound about right?
Speaker 2 (04:40):
I got to myself and counting the days.
Speaker 1 (04:44):
I guess if you have two you can kind of
combine it down, so it's probably about two undred thousand
a piece.
Speaker 2 (04:48):
Then I'm screwed.
Speaker 1 (04:51):
All right, We'll still give him cash. You know that'd
be kind of tacky. Do something cool for your parents,
you know, send him on a vacation that they've been
putting off. Buy him something that they didn't buy when
they were raising you, you know, just take them out
to dinner. Just don't let dad pay, and just show
them something to do your appreciation.
Speaker 3 (05:05):
You know what.
Speaker 1 (05:06):
You don't even have to spend any money on. You
can just go to their house and do some chores
or something around the house. Now, the best way we
all know to pay back our parents, it's just basically
show them how much love and appreciation we have for him.
Speaker 2 (05:16):
That's right, Love you guys, Love you Mom, Love you Dad. Yeah,
checks in the mail.
Speaker 1 (05:22):
I don't know you anything, alright, This is going on
in entertainment. I November twentieth. Let's be back here. Two
thousand and five, Remember that Yeah Man at the number
one album was late registation by Conray, Conway, Kanye.
Speaker 2 (05:38):
I Can't Conway too twitty.
Speaker 1 (05:40):
Yes. Now, Conway and Jamie Fox had the number one
song with Gold digger.
Speaker 3 (05:44):
From what I heard, she got a baby, my butt stuff.
My best friend said she used to us out chill with.
Speaker 1 (05:50):
None of y'all say ya still love them.
Speaker 4 (05:52):
I ain't saying she you go, Sine someone broke.
Speaker 5 (05:57):
I ain't saying she you go Mashemus and window broke.
Speaker 1 (06:02):
Bro You damn girl go you damn You have no idea?
How hardy just to find a clean version of that song?
I think Jamie Fox, You think Jamie Fox still brags
about hanging out with Kanye.
Speaker 2 (06:15):
I don't know, man, I don't know. Maybe not so
much anymore.
Speaker 1 (06:18):
Keith Urban had the number one country song with Better Life.
Speaker 3 (06:26):
Not going to be the one.
Speaker 5 (06:28):
Good Loves Go, sh damn the one so read.
Speaker 1 (06:44):
The number one book was a Feast for Crows by
Jeorge R. R. Martin. The top movie was Harry Potter
and God Blets a Fire. Now Harry, he's competing in
a dangerous tournament between rival schools, and he's also having
nightmares along the way. Stars Daniel Rack left Emma Watson
and Rubert Gent nineteen fifty five if with only one
year left on his record contract. Son Record's owner. His
(07:04):
name is Sam Phillips. He went ahead and sold Elvis
Presley's record contract RCA for thirty five thousand dollars. Yeah,
Sam knew Elvis wasn't going to be able to resign
with him. He was too big. So Sam he took
that thirty five thousand dollars and invested in a new
hotel chain. It's called Holiday Inn. Pretty good investment.
Speaker 2 (07:20):
I've heard of it.
Speaker 1 (07:22):
You like the who?
Speaker 2 (07:23):
Oh Yeah?
Speaker 1 (07:24):
Nineteen seventy three The Who, they were playing a concert
in San Francisco. Well, during the concert, third drummer, Keith Moon,
he just passed out right on stage, right on his
drum kit. He was out cold. So Pete Townsend he
grabbed the microphone. The guys were kind of looking at
each other. He walked to the front of the stage
and said, hey, anybody out there know how to play drums? Well,
nineteen year old Scott helping He said, I can do her.
He went on stage and finished the concert for Keith. Now,
(07:47):
after the show, they asked Keith about it. He Keith said, oh,
I did, It was a jet lag. Then they found
out that he had actually taken a couple of hort
sewers trink gwisers before the show.
Speaker 2 (07:54):
That'll do it.
Speaker 1 (07:56):
That kid's a legend, that's pretty, that's got had somebody
would a signive, won't you? Okay, so we've talked a
little bit about AI. So when that really started coming,
did you jump in right at the beginning or did
you get caught up and have to get pulled back
into it?
Speaker 2 (08:12):
No? Pretty early on, I was, I was the early adaptor.
I was on you know, wait lists for it because
I just, you know, as a creative person, it's just
amazing to be able to have access to that and
and get ideas out and I was, I was excited
right away.
Speaker 1 (08:27):
What was it pretty easy for you to actually switch
over from what you were doing to AI?
Speaker 2 (08:32):
Yeah? I mean, you know, filmmaking, and it's basically, you know,
an animated storyboard, you know, before you get out onto
the set or you know, nowadays it's do you need
to go to the set?
Speaker 5 (08:44):
You know?
Speaker 2 (08:44):
Is the question. So it's exciting and it's and it's
cool to see it avolve and grow and become more accessible.
Speaker 1 (08:51):
Now there is some concern out there, and I've heard
something they said they need to put watermarks or something
some way to identify so that people know they're actually
walk watching AI. What do you feel about that?
Speaker 2 (09:02):
Yeah, yeah, I mean I've become pretty good at telling it,
you know, AI from real and but it's getting harder,
you know. I usually I use the extra limbs as
a guide, you know, are they blinking at the exact
wrong time? Are there no pores in the skin? If
there's text, you know, it doesn't do text very well.
(09:23):
So there's things you can you can pinpoint, you know,
some things, but a watermark, you know, I don't know.
I just read that the Academy Awards are opening up
to films with AI as you know, eligible for oscars.
So the film world is definitely adapting, and I think
(09:43):
it's just gonna be you know, there's no fighting it.
It's just it is what it is, and we have
to figure out how to use it.
Speaker 5 (09:50):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (09:51):
So that, yeah, it doesn't it doesn't use us.
Speaker 1 (09:54):
Yeah. I think the main concern though, isn't the quality
of the product. I think the main concern is how
many jobs is it going to take?
Speaker 2 (09:59):
Yeah, I mean it's definitely, you know, it's it's tough.
It's tough to you know, man, I don't know how
to word this. Yeah, I mean that's a scary thing,
you know, to think of it taking jobs, and you know,
I think you just have to adapt and figure out
how to keep your job and and learn AI and
and make it work for you.
Speaker 1 (10:19):
You know, like you said, the Academy A Wars are
going to celebrate it and that kind of Right now,
it's still a skill. I mean, you still have to
be able to do it.
Speaker 2 (10:25):
So there's still human hands, you know, manipulating things, you know,
and and you know the things that I output in AI,
I'm still bringing into after effects and doing touch ups,
and you know, there's there's a lot of human skill
that goes into it. It's not just you know, make
(10:47):
a guy walk across you know, there's a lot that
goes into it to make it consistent between shots and
make it the same location, make it so that he
doesn't you know, change into a dog suddenly for some reason. Yeah,
so there's a lot that goes into it.
Speaker 1 (11:00):
Another thing, as a filmmaker, you spent a lot of
time just sit they're in the editing room. That's got
to be nice when you can have something cut that
time down.
Speaker 2 (11:07):
Ah man, it's amazing. Yeah, you get your life back. Basically,
it's if you can use it to your advantage. Then
I think you're going to do really well.
Speaker 1 (11:17):
All right, let's see what happened on November the twentieth,
seventeen eighty nine, New Jersey. They began the first state
to ratify the Bill of the Rights, that's the first
ten amendments to the United States Constitution. Do you know
the real story behind the book, Moby Dick, No, I don't.
That happened today in eighteen twenty a huge sperm whale
it attacked and sank a US whaling ship that was
called the Essex. Now they were a couple thousand miles
(11:39):
off of South America in the South Pacific. When there's whale,
it just ram the ship twice, shattered the bow. So
as the ship sank, the whale it just swam off.
And it was a white whale, and they are white
sperm whale. They're kind of rare. But so that wouldn't
a lie. Now, there were twenty men on that ship,
so they had to cram into three little lifeboats. Of course,
they didn't have any food or water or anything, resorting
(12:00):
to cannibalism, so only eight of the twenty actually survived.
So they were rescued by another whaling ship at the
end of February, so middle of November till. That's a
long time to be floating around on a couple of
tiny moat.
Speaker 2 (12:12):
That's cold water too.
Speaker 1 (12:13):
In nineteen fourteen, the United States Department they started requiring
photographs for passports.
Speaker 2 (12:18):
That's helpful.
Speaker 1 (12:20):
Are you an observant driver?
Speaker 2 (12:22):
I try to be. I try to be now.
Speaker 1 (12:24):
Before today, in nineteen twenty three, traffic signals they only
had that stop and go. Yeah, just the red and
the green lights. So you think you can kind of
figure out what kind of chaos that would create.
Speaker 2 (12:34):
A lot of wrecks. I'm sure, right, I.
Speaker 1 (12:36):
Mean, I think we've all been driven in they haven't
been paying attention. Thought the light just went straight to
red or something.
Speaker 2 (12:41):
Yeah, well, you know today in nineteen twenty three, Garrett
Morgan created a traffic light with a caution, a yellow light,
and what do you know? It helped out, you know,
But how observant are you? Jeff? What color is on
top of the traffic light?
Speaker 1 (12:56):
Not very observant.
Speaker 2 (12:57):
But I'm just gonna go how many it goes red, yellow, green?
And if it's horizontal, it's red's on the left, and
that standard because people with color blindness. You know, red
and green to them could be the same color.
Speaker 1 (13:11):
That's true, that makes sense.
Speaker 2 (13:13):
And you know, speaking of seeing red today. In nineteen
forty five, German city of Nuremberg was under US control
after World War Two and the Nomburg Nuremberg Trial shit
the Nuremberg War trials began today. Twenty two Nazi leaders
stood trial for war crimes and the judges at the
trial were from all countries that fought against Germany, so
(13:35):
you know they wanted it to look impartial.
Speaker 1 (13:37):
Good job.
Speaker 2 (13:39):
And then if you walk the runway up to nineteen seventy,
Jennifer Hostin became the first black woman and the first
person from Granada to win the Miss World pageant. To
win Miss World pageant, but she couldn't really celebrate. As
soon as it was announced, women from the Women's Liberation
Movement started a riot and all held broke loose. And
(14:00):
since Jennifer one, you know, she was escorted backstage and
to safety, but the other ladies on stage they had
to fend for themselves. It's crazy.
Speaker 1 (14:09):
I know this is going to sound sexist, but you
know those other women were ugly.
Speaker 2 (14:15):
They didn't win, that's right, they're not miss world. But
maybe it's because they went to McDonald's a bit too much.
You know, in nineteen eighty four, McDonald's Mckeydee's sold its
fiftieth billion hamburger. And how do we know? It's because
all McDonald restaurants had those signs telling us how many
millions or billions they had sold. And they stopped doing
(14:37):
that around nineteen ninety three because they hit ninety nine billion.
I guess they ran out of room on the sign.
That's a lot of burgers.
Speaker 1 (14:45):
Yeah, it add Also, in nineteen eighty four, SETI Search
for Extraterrestrial Intelligence. It was feign today. You know, with
all those billions of dollars they've spent, do you know
what they found? What? Nothing? The thing? Say a space nerd?
Speaker 2 (14:59):
I love space.
Speaker 1 (15:00):
Yeah, it was nineteen ninety eight the first module for
the International Space Station was actually launched into space. Now,
I'm guessing that first module it had to be the
toilet section because the porta potty is always the first
thing to go in at every construction site, so makes sense,
that's my guess. I don't know for sure. So if
(15:20):
you're bragging about your twisted reels, what would you probably
bag about what do you got going on the most
right now?
Speaker 2 (15:26):
We got a couple series that we're pitching. We have
Myhunted Manners going to Amazon. Uh, that's exciting. So we're
kind of reconfiguring our YouTube series to be a six
part Amazon kind of docu series, So that's very exciting.
But launching the new Twisted Reels Productions dot com site
(15:49):
showcasing all of our trailers and reels and concept development everything.
Our whole look book is on there, and yeah, we're
getting in front of some big names this week and
pitching some ideas. So we're really excited. But you know,
filmmakers out there, people who have you know, films and shorts.
If you guys need a trailer, you know, let's let's
(16:11):
get it twisted.
Speaker 1 (16:12):
Yeah, definitely did so do most do you guys? I
mean obviously do the trailers and stuff, but for the
initial film and all that kind of stuff, do you
guys do it your own start to finish or do
you collaborate? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (16:23):
We can. I've on my own and manner. I was
director of photography. I've directed and filmed a couple feature
independent feature films, short films, commercials, so you know, I
can do all the filming, but we can take it
from yeah, just an idea to finish product.
Speaker 1 (16:40):
So it's my hunted Manor. Is it true real life?
Speaker 2 (16:44):
It's real? Yeah, Yeah, nothing that's faked on there because
it's all real people that come through there, and you know,
it's just guests that have booked the night that to
investigate and there's cameras set up twenty four to seven,
so anything that they experience we just kind of in
real time react to, try and debunk and a lot
(17:04):
of times it's just wild stuff that we can't explain.
So it's definitely a cool show. It's a great background
history of the location in Columbia, PA. And yeah, definitely
check it out. It's on YouTube right now, My hon
and man Or USA.
Speaker 1 (17:17):
So how do you get into Netflix?
Speaker 2 (17:19):
Get into Netflix? You just pitch ideas, You just uh,
you know, LinkedIn is a great uh way to network
and get connections, and you know, somebody's got to come
up with these ideas and someone has to get you know,
these shows created, and you know, why not us? Why
not you? You know, if it's that's what you're to
just shoot for the stars and then work your way
(17:39):
down until you get a yes.
Speaker 1 (17:41):
Did you ever have any desire to be in front
of the camera.
Speaker 2 (17:44):
Yeah, I've done. Uh, I was in plays and I've
acted in a few films, and I love it. I
love acting. I love you know, everything about filmmaking. So yeah,
I'll hit record and then jump in front of the
screen the act. You know, I'll act, I'll I'll do whatever.
I love it.
Speaker 1 (18:02):
Like I said, you're just kind of the movie stud,
aren't you. You can not only come up with the idea,
you'll act in it, write it, produce it. Yeah, direct
it exactly.
Speaker 3 (18:13):
All right.
Speaker 1 (18:14):
Let's see as a mother actors, Let's see who was
born on November the twentieth Where were moving? Actor Franklin Cover.
(18:40):
He was born in Cleveland, Ohio, in nineteen twenty eight.
He's best known for playing Tom Willis. He was the
white guy on the TV show The Jefferson's Now Roxy.
Roxy Roker played his wife Now. They were the first
interracial couple on TV black white, the first interracial couple.
They weren't considered it. It was uh, Lucille balland dizzieron
Is act in the fifties. Yeah, but people don't really
(19:01):
because Desi is Hispanic. Well, Cuban. But back until the
nineteen seventies, Hispanic wasn't even uninformed. He couldn't even check it.
And it wasn't until the nineteen eighty census that you
could actually check that you were Hispanic otherwise that you
were white. Did you know that, Ricky? You know what,
frank Franklin, if you've all seen The Jeffersons, I'm thinking,
(19:23):
at least right here or something like that, he actually
did Shakespeare before he did the Jeffersons. M No way, Yeah,
I can't see him out there being a fellow or anything,
but okay. He married in nineteen sixty five and they
had a son and a daughter, Franklin. He died in
two thousand and six at seventy seven years old from
a heart condition. Actor, comedian, game show host Richard Dawson.
He was born in Gospart, England in nineteen thirty two.
(19:45):
When he came to the United States, he got really
known for the TV show Hogan's Heroes. Then he was
the most did they still have a match game nowadays?
Speaker 2 (19:53):
Match game? Or he was on? Was he match Game?
Speaker 1 (19:55):
Or yeah? The original guy. He was like the most
famous analyst on there. So whenever anybody in match game
would have to like try and match with the celebrity contestant.
They always picked him because he was the best of
the game.
Speaker 2 (20:07):
He was a pro.
Speaker 1 (20:07):
So he was so popular on Matchkain, they just gained
his own game show. It was called Family Feud. Yeah,
he was the original host, did it for two, three
and thirty four episodes. Kissed over twenty thousand women on it.
Speaker 2 (20:18):
Wow. I was about to ask, that's a lot of kisses.
Speaker 1 (20:20):
I know the younger people don't realize. Yeah, he kissed
every woman who came on that show. Now, Steve Harvey,
he has actually kissed one woman. He's been on there,
and he was actually on there longer than Richard. And
the person that Harvey kissed, he kissed her on the hand.
If you watch the video of it, it's pretty funny.
It was a lady. She came on there and she
he was like, well, Richard kissed everybody, and Harvey's like going, yeah,
(20:41):
well I'm not Richard, and this is the time and
all that kind of stuff, And.
Speaker 2 (20:45):
He kissed everybody, whether they liked it or not.
Speaker 1 (20:48):
And so she got Harvey to kiss him on her hand.
So he kissed her on the hand, but a gentleman,
and he said something you can barely hear, but then
he just bursts out laughing or something. What she had
said is something like, I thought you were working your
way in my wrist, and he thought. She said you
were working your way in my breast. It's actually a
pretty funny clip if you want to go find it. Richard.
(21:09):
He had two children from his first wife. His second
wife was one of those twenty thousand womeny kiss, Yeah
you met her own family feud. Yeah, she has a
contestant on the show. They got married nineteen ninety one
and actually had a daughter now. Richard. His final acting
role was his best. He played Killian in the movie
running Man.
Speaker 2 (21:25):
Oh yeah, the running manmaking Now I heard I saw
an ad for that too.
Speaker 1 (21:33):
Yeah, And I still think Running Man was better than
those Hunger Games movies. And I don't care what they say.
Speaker 2 (21:39):
The game running Man, Yeah, that's classic.
Speaker 1 (21:41):
Those Hunger Games. That girl who wrote it, she just
copied that off a running Man pretty.
Speaker 2 (21:45):
Much basically, Yeah, running Man Junior Richard.
Speaker 1 (21:49):
He died in twenty twelve at seventy nine years old
from the sophocal cancer.
Speaker 2 (22:12):
Singer guitarist Joe Wallash. You can't not recognize that voice
is seventy eight today. Born in Wichita, Kansas, nineteen forty seven.
He started out in the Jeams Gang, and in nineteen
seventy five he was asked to join the Eagles. He
pretty much just played guitar. When the Eagles broke up
nineteen eighty, Joe decided he wanted to sing. And when
solo hit Big Rocky Mountain Way, Life's been Good All
(22:36):
Night Long, Life of Illusion, It's just some of his
solo hits. When the Eagles got back together in nineteen
ninety four, Joe, you know, he's been there ever since.
Do you like Eagles?
Speaker 1 (22:47):
Jeff, Yeah, I do.
Speaker 2 (22:48):
Yeah, you know, it's California Eagles.
Speaker 1 (22:52):
They were kind of like they're kind of in that
genre where rock hard rock country they all come together
with the Eagles.
Speaker 2 (22:57):
Yeah, they kind of do. And from the end of
January to end of March, the Eagles, you know, they're
gonna be playing a bunch of shows with the Sphere
in Las Vegas, so they're still jamming out. Man.
Speaker 1 (23:08):
I'd like to check that out and that'd be awesome.
I mean, it looks like a pretty incredible show, especially
with those guys and now they're different kinds of you know,
they did their solo stuff too. I'm betting.
Speaker 2 (23:17):
Yeah, I'm sure. I'm sure it'd be an amazing show. Joe,
I don't know if you know. He had one child
from his second wife, one child from his third wife,
two children from his fourth wife. Married his fifth wife
in two thousand and eight, and she's Marjorie Bach Ringo,
Starr's sister in law. And I know Stevie Nicks is
mixed up in there somewhere.
Speaker 1 (23:37):
Yeah, they had quite the I don't think Stevie liked
to put the ring on though.
Speaker 2 (23:41):
No, no ring. She didn't want to put a ring
on it. But speaking of a perfect ten actress Bo
Derek is sixty nine today, born in Long Beach, California,
in nineteen fifty six, and she was born Mary Collins.
Bo got famous for the movie Ten, then Tarzan, the
Eight Man, Tommy Boy Love, Tommy Boy, Malibus Most Wanted.
(24:04):
When she was sixteen, she started dating forty six year
old movie director John Derek, and John was married to
actress Linda Evans at the time. He divorced Linda and
moved to Germany with Bo and he couldn't get arrested
for statutory rape in Germany. So yeah, good guy. Yeah.
When Bow turned eighteen, they moved back to the United
(24:25):
States and married. They were twenty two years when John
died in nineteen eighty eight. Married twenty two years. That's good.
A little young there, but it worked.
Speaker 1 (24:36):
I guess.
Speaker 2 (24:36):
Su twenty twenty, Bow married actor John Corbett. So's she's
still around sixty nine. She looks amazing.
Speaker 1 (24:45):
She does, she looks. She looks really good. She's still
a ten actress. Sean Young. She was born in Louisville, Kentucky,
in nineteen fifty nine. She's sixty six. Her first big
movie with Stripes. That's one of my all time favorites.
I think, even though I was a little kid when
it came out, I love Stripes.
Speaker 2 (24:59):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (25:00):
Then she went to sci fi as She went into
a blade Runner and then Fatal Instinct Ace Finz, You're
a pet Detective. She got married, and she got married
in nineteen ninety. They had two sons. Then they divorced
in two thousand and two. I guess they couldn't find
anybody better, so they got remarried in twenty eleven.
Speaker 3 (25:30):
You gotta fight.
Speaker 1 (25:33):
You're right, you like the Beastie Boys.
Speaker 2 (25:39):
I love the Beastie Boys.
Speaker 4 (25:40):
Man.
Speaker 1 (25:41):
I was a beastie boy. Mike Diamond, you can just
call him Mike d He was born in New York
City in nineteen sixty five, sixty years old to day,
now him ad Rock NCA. They formed the Beastie Boys
in nineteen eighty one. Now before that, they were actually
in a punk band. They called themselves Younger rib Wrong
young a ribbon haber Reginese. I can't say that.
Speaker 2 (26:00):
It's a mouthful.
Speaker 1 (26:01):
Yeah, it's too many vowels together there. That's how they started.
Then they went wrap in nineteen eighty one. Brass Monkey,
Fight for your Right to Party, Intergalactic to check it out.
That's some of their heads. Now when Adam Yack, who
was MCA when he died in twenty twelve, Yeah, they
just called her quiz. They didn't want to go on
without Adam as being a beastie boy. They didn't want
to replace him. Now, Drummond Diamond, he got married in
(26:23):
nineteen ninety three and they have a son and a daughter,
but they're currently separated.
Speaker 5 (26:28):
Put that across my mind a little too, because I
was singing a little mon tanged out, sitting right there
in the middle, bounding singing, man just got again. I
was feeling.
Speaker 2 (26:52):
There was I thinking. That's the first song Dirk's Bentley
released back in two thousand and three, and it went
up to number one, Good Way to Start. Yeah. Dirks
is fifty today, born in Phoenix, nineteen seventy five, and
Dirks is actually his middle name. It was his great
grandmother's maiden name. His first real name is is actually Frederick.

Speaker 5 (27:45):
One hundred fifteen channels have nothing to bad News, will.

nineteen seventy seven. Some of his number one songs your
man all over Me? Would you go without Me? Or
would you go with me? Why don't we just dance?
He's going out on tour December third. If you want
to catch Josh, that'd be a great show. He married
(28:26):
Jennifer in two thousand and three. They have four sons.
When Josh is out on tour, Jennifer plays the keyboard
and sings back up, so it's a whole family thing.
Speaker 1 (28:35):
So what what kind of music do you like? The Moss?
Speaker 2 (28:37):
I was in a cover band for a while, classic
rock and oldies, and I played keyboard and sing, so
I definitely relate to that. It's awesome.
Speaker 1 (28:45):
That's why I gave you the country artist. You knew
I was stretching you there, No, I love it.

(32:58):
I fear for the sheep love her didn't want him
true
Hi everyone, I am Jeff and welcome to History and
Factoids about Today Today my co host, he is a
filmmaking basically stud all the way from the original concept
all the way to the finished film. Does it in
all genres? Big time? AI guy. So Jeff, why don't
you go to induce yourself?
Speaker 2 (00:35):
Hi everybody, I'm Jeff Bader and yeah, like Jeff said,
over twenty years of video production, editing for TV and film,
and I'm co founder of Twisted Reels Production, and we
specialize in cinematic trailers, demo reels and yeah, concept development
power by AI. You know, getting your ideas to come alfe,
(00:57):
come to life, you know, is our specialty.
Speaker 1 (01:00):
Have you always been in that kind of field or
did you start off somewhere else? You said twenty years?
Speaker 2 (01:04):
Yeah, I mean ever since I was a kid, we
got a family video camera from those JC Penny brand
VHS camera and ever since, you know, early nineties, I've
been making movies and stop motion with my toys and
just constantly, you know, pushing the brown boundaries of what
a kid could could make with a camera.
Speaker 1 (01:22):
So what do you do you have anything as specifically
you like to do most or do you just kind
of just take the whole genre as it is.
Speaker 2 (01:28):
Yeah, I love everything about it. You know, I'm a
hands on guy, and you know, I want to see
it through from from original you know, spark of an
idea to storyboards to script. You know, I want to
be on set and then you know, I edit everything
I do, so kind of you know, wear all hats.
But I'm learning to delegate more. And I love directing.
(01:51):
I think I love being behind the camera and directing actors.
And then also, you know, Ai has just been blowing
me away lately and just you know, things I can
create just to get the idea out of my head.
You know, it's it's it's hard sometimes as a creative person.
You want to you know, get this this spark of
an idea out, and it's just it just helps me,
you know, in that way, use it as a tool
(02:13):
to to create things that I normally couldn't.
Speaker 1 (02:16):
You guys really got something special going out there with
Twisted Wheels Production that really good products. We'll have a
link to it for all you guys later at the
end of the show and all that. But we've had
your partner Daphne on there, and then we had Davidy
does your Drone work.
Speaker 2 (02:29):
Yeah, yeah, it's amazing team. And you know, we just
you know, pushing the envelope of what we can do
as a small, you know, boutique cinematic you know, powerhouse
basically with Drone, with Daphnese connections and producing and and
her music talents, and it's just been a blast to
(02:50):
to create with them. And uh, I can't wait to
show you guys what we have on our new website.
Speaker 1 (02:55):
So when you were a kid, were you one of
those av nerds?
Speaker 2 (02:58):
Oh? Yeah, one hundred percent. I was making movies and
you know, all my final exams and things where I
was like, you know, can I make this into a
movie and share the class? And yeah, I was always
the weird video guy.
Speaker 1 (03:12):
So how hard has it been? I mean the technology
has just been exploding quickly. How hard is it to
keep up?
Speaker 2 (03:18):
It's really hard. Yeah, I mean I was looking today,
you know some of these AI programs. It's just every
day something new comes out. So you know, I'm constantly
learning and seeing what's trending and following other filmmakers and
editors and you know, what are you guys using? And yeah,
it's just a constant evolution.
Speaker 1 (03:36):
So you guys do such quality work when you're can
you actually just watch a film or do you just
critique it the whole time where they should have done
this and they should have done that.
Speaker 2 (03:44):
Yeah, yeah, I do. You know, I admired a lot
of filmmakers and it's hard to just get wrapped up
in a story and not be like, oh my god,
that was such a good shot. You know how they
set that dollar shot up? You know it Just it
is tough because it's a lot of you know, backstage
stuff I'm thinking about.
Speaker 1 (04:02):
Alrighty, do you know what we're gonna celebrate today?
Speaker 2 (04:05):
No? Tell me?
Speaker 1 (04:06):
Okay, never knew where I came from. Just when hard combine, you.
Speaker 3 (04:13):
See, if time's got tough, man, I couldn't. They went
to hell so I could do and the milk Mom
and Da.
Speaker 1 (04:26):
These monies today is National Payback your Parents' Day. No,
you don't have to cut him a check for three
hundred and seventy five thousand dollars. That's what it is
nowadays to raise a kid until they're eighteen, Sound about right?
Speaker 2 (04:40):
I got to myself and counting the days.
Speaker 1 (04:44):
I guess if you have two you can kind of
combine it down, so it's probably about two undred thousand
a piece.
Speaker 2 (04:48):
Then I'm screwed.
Speaker 1 (04:51):
All right, We'll still give him cash. You know that'd
be kind of tacky. Do something cool for your parents,
you know, send him on a vacation that they've been
putting off. Buy him something that they didn't buy when
they were raising you, you know, just take them out
to dinner. Just don't let dad pay, and just show
them something to do your appreciation.
Speaker 3 (05:05):
You know what.
Speaker 1 (05:06):
You don't even have to spend any money on. You
can just go to their house and do some chores
or something around the house. Now, the best way we
all know to pay back our parents, it's just basically
show them how much love and appreciation we have for him.
Speaker 2 (05:16):
That's right, Love you guys, Love you Mom, Love you Dad. Yeah,
checks in the mail.
Speaker 1 (05:22):
I don't know you anything, alright, This is going on
in entertainment. I November twentieth. Let's be back here. Two
thousand and five, Remember that Yeah Man at the number
one album was late registation by Conray, Conway, Kanye.
Speaker 2 (05:38):
I Can't Conway too twitty.
Speaker 1 (05:40):
Yes. Now, Conway and Jamie Fox had the number one
song with Gold digger.
Speaker 3 (05:44):
From what I heard, she got a baby, my butt stuff.
My best friend said she used to us out chill with.
Speaker 1 (05:50):
None of y'all say ya still love them.
Speaker 4 (05:52):
I ain't saying she you go, Sine someone broke.
Speaker 5 (05:57):
I ain't saying she you go Mashemus and window broke.
Speaker 1 (06:02):
Bro You damn girl go you damn You have no idea?
How hardy just to find a clean version of that song?
I think Jamie Fox, You think Jamie Fox still brags
about hanging out with Kanye.
Speaker 2 (06:15):
I don't know, man, I don't know. Maybe not so
much anymore.
Speaker 1 (06:18):
Keith Urban had the number one country song with Better Life.
Speaker 3 (06:26):
Not going to be the one.
Speaker 5 (06:28):
Good Loves Go, sh damn the one so read.
Speaker 1 (06:44):
The number one book was a Feast for Crows by
Jeorge R. R. Martin. The top movie was Harry Potter
and God Blets a Fire. Now Harry, he's competing in
a dangerous tournament between rival schools, and he's also having
nightmares along the way. Stars Daniel Rack left Emma Watson
and Rubert Gent nineteen fifty five if with only one
year left on his record contract. Son Record's owner. His
(07:04):
name is Sam Phillips. He went ahead and sold Elvis
Presley's record contract RCA for thirty five thousand dollars. Yeah,
Sam knew Elvis wasn't going to be able to resign
with him. He was too big. So Sam he took
that thirty five thousand dollars and invested in a new
hotel chain. It's called Holiday Inn. Pretty good investment.
Speaker 2 (07:20):
I've heard of it.
Speaker 1 (07:22):
You like the who?
Speaker 2 (07:23):
Oh Yeah?
Speaker 1 (07:24):
Nineteen seventy three The Who, they were playing a concert
in San Francisco. Well, during the concert, third drummer, Keith Moon,
he just passed out right on stage, right on his
drum kit. He was out cold. So Pete Townsend he
grabbed the microphone. The guys were kind of looking at
each other. He walked to the front of the stage
and said, hey, anybody out there know how to play drums? Well,
nineteen year old Scott helping He said, I can do her.
He went on stage and finished the concert for Keith. Now,
(07:47):
after the show, they asked Keith about it. He Keith said, oh,
I did, It was a jet lag. Then they found
out that he had actually taken a couple of hort
sewers trink gwisers before the show.
Speaker 2 (07:54):
That'll do it.
Speaker 1 (07:56):
That kid's a legend, that's pretty, that's got had somebody
would a signive, won't you? Okay, so we've talked a
little bit about AI. So when that really started coming,
did you jump in right at the beginning or did
you get caught up and have to get pulled back
into it?
Speaker 2 (08:12):
No? Pretty early on, I was, I was the early adaptor.
I was on you know, wait lists for it because
I just, you know, as a creative person, it's just
amazing to be able to have access to that and
and get ideas out and I was, I was excited
right away.
Speaker 1 (08:27):
What was it pretty easy for you to actually switch
over from what you were doing to AI?
Speaker 2 (08:32):
Yeah? I mean, you know, filmmaking, and it's basically, you know,
an animated storyboard, you know, before you get out onto
the set or you know, nowadays it's do you need
to go to the set?
Speaker 5 (08:44):
You know?
Speaker 2 (08:44):
Is the question. So it's exciting and it's and it's
cool to see it avolve and grow and become more accessible.
Speaker 1 (08:51):
Now there is some concern out there, and I've heard
something they said they need to put watermarks or something
some way to identify so that people know they're actually
walk watching AI. What do you feel about that?
Speaker 2 (09:02):
Yeah, yeah, I mean I've become pretty good at telling it,
you know, AI from real and but it's getting harder,
you know. I usually I use the extra limbs as
a guide, you know, are they blinking at the exact
wrong time? Are there no pores in the skin? If
there's text, you know, it doesn't do text very well.
(09:23):
So there's things you can you can pinpoint, you know,
some things, but a watermark, you know, I don't know.
I just read that the Academy Awards are opening up
to films with AI as you know, eligible for oscars.
So the film world is definitely adapting, and I think
(09:43):
it's just gonna be you know, there's no fighting it.
It's just it is what it is, and we have
to figure out how to use it.
Speaker 5 (09:50):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (09:51):
So that, yeah, it doesn't it doesn't use us.
Speaker 1 (09:54):
Yeah. I think the main concern though, isn't the quality
of the product. I think the main concern is how
many jobs is it going to take?
Speaker 2 (09:59):
Yeah, I mean it's definitely, you know, it's it's tough.
It's tough to you know, man, I don't know how
to word this. Yeah, I mean that's a scary thing,
you know, to think of it taking jobs, and you know,
I think you just have to adapt and figure out
how to keep your job and and learn AI and
and make it work for you.
Speaker 1 (10:19):
You know, like you said, the Academy A Wars are
going to celebrate it and that kind of Right now,
it's still a skill. I mean, you still have to
be able to do it.
Speaker 2 (10:25):
So there's still human hands, you know, manipulating things, you know,
and and you know the things that I output in AI,
I'm still bringing into after effects and doing touch ups,
and you know, there's there's a lot of human skill
that goes into it. It's not just you know, make
(10:47):
a guy walk across you know, there's a lot that
goes into it to make it consistent between shots and
make it the same location, make it so that he
doesn't you know, change into a dog suddenly for some reason. Yeah,
so there's a lot that goes into it.
Speaker 1 (11:00):
Another thing, as a filmmaker, you spent a lot of
time just sit they're in the editing room. That's got
to be nice when you can have something cut that
time down.
Speaker 2 (11:07):
Ah man, it's amazing. Yeah, you get your life back. Basically,
it's if you can use it to your advantage. Then
I think you're going to do really well.
Speaker 1 (11:17):
All right, let's see what happened on November the twentieth,
seventeen eighty nine, New Jersey. They began the first state
to ratify the Bill of the Rights, that's the first
ten amendments to the United States Constitution. Do you know
the real story behind the book, Moby Dick, No, I don't.
That happened today in eighteen twenty a huge sperm whale
it attacked and sank a US whaling ship that was
called the Essex. Now they were a couple thousand miles
(11:39):
off of South America in the South Pacific. When there's whale,
it just ram the ship twice, shattered the bow. So
as the ship sank, the whale it just swam off.
And it was a white whale, and they are white
sperm whale. They're kind of rare. But so that wouldn't
a lie. Now, there were twenty men on that ship,
so they had to cram into three little lifeboats. Of course,
they didn't have any food or water or anything, resorting
(12:00):
to cannibalism, so only eight of the twenty actually survived.
So they were rescued by another whaling ship at the
end of February, so middle of November till. That's a
long time to be floating around on a couple of
tiny moat.
Speaker 2 (12:12):
That's cold water too.
Speaker 1 (12:13):
In nineteen fourteen, the United States Department they started requiring
photographs for passports.
Speaker 2 (12:18):
That's helpful.
Speaker 1 (12:20):
Are you an observant driver?
Speaker 2 (12:22):
I try to be. I try to be now.
Speaker 1 (12:24):
Before today, in nineteen twenty three, traffic signals they only
had that stop and go. Yeah, just the red and
the green lights. So you think you can kind of
figure out what kind of chaos that would create.
Speaker 2 (12:34):
A lot of wrecks. I'm sure, right, I.
Speaker 1 (12:36):
Mean, I think we've all been driven in they haven't
been paying attention. Thought the light just went straight to
red or something.
Speaker 2 (12:41):
Yeah, well, you know today in nineteen twenty three, Garrett
Morgan created a traffic light with a caution, a yellow light,
and what do you know? It helped out, you know,
But how observant are you? Jeff? What color is on
top of the traffic light?
Speaker 1 (12:56):
Not very observant.
Speaker 2 (12:57):
But I'm just gonna go how many it goes red, yellow, green?
And if it's horizontal, it's red's on the left, and
that standard because people with color blindness. You know, red
and green to them could be the same color.
Speaker 1 (13:11):
That's true, that makes sense.
Speaker 2 (13:13):
And you know, speaking of seeing red today. In nineteen
forty five, German city of Nuremberg was under US control
after World War Two and the Nomburg Nuremberg Trial shit
the Nuremberg War trials began today. Twenty two Nazi leaders
stood trial for war crimes and the judges at the
trial were from all countries that fought against Germany, so
(13:35):
you know they wanted it to look impartial.
Speaker 1 (13:37):
Good job.
Speaker 2 (13:39):
And then if you walk the runway up to nineteen seventy,
Jennifer Hostin became the first black woman and the first
person from Granada to win the Miss World pageant. To
win Miss World pageant, but she couldn't really celebrate. As
soon as it was announced, women from the Women's Liberation
Movement started a riot and all held broke loose. And
(14:00):
since Jennifer one, you know, she was escorted backstage and
to safety, but the other ladies on stage they had
to fend for themselves. It's crazy.
Speaker 1 (14:09):
I know this is going to sound sexist, but you
know those other women were ugly.
Speaker 2 (14:15):
They didn't win, that's right, they're not miss world. But
maybe it's because they went to McDonald's a bit too much.
You know, in nineteen eighty four, McDonald's Mckeydee's sold its
fiftieth billion hamburger. And how do we know? It's because
all McDonald restaurants had those signs telling us how many
millions or billions they had sold. And they stopped doing
(14:37):
that around nineteen ninety three because they hit ninety nine billion.
I guess they ran out of room on the sign.
That's a lot of burgers.
Speaker 1 (14:45):
Yeah, it add Also, in nineteen eighty four, SETI Search
for Extraterrestrial Intelligence. It was feign today. You know, with
all those billions of dollars they've spent, do you know
what they found? What? Nothing? The thing? Say a space nerd?
Speaker 2 (14:59):
I love space.
Speaker 1 (15:00):
Yeah, it was nineteen ninety eight the first module for
the International Space Station was actually launched into space. Now,
I'm guessing that first module it had to be the
toilet section because the porta potty is always the first
thing to go in at every construction site, so makes sense,
that's my guess. I don't know for sure. So if
(15:20):
you're bragging about your twisted reels, what would you probably
bag about what do you got going on the most
right now?
Speaker 2 (15:26):
We got a couple series that we're pitching. We have
Myhunted Manners going to Amazon. Uh, that's exciting. So we're
kind of reconfiguring our YouTube series to be a six
part Amazon kind of docu series, So that's very exciting.
But launching the new Twisted Reels Productions dot com site
(15:49):
showcasing all of our trailers and reels and concept development everything.
Our whole look book is on there, and yeah, we're
getting in front of some big names this week and
pitching some ideas. So we're really excited. But you know,
filmmakers out there, people who have you know, films and shorts.
If you guys need a trailer, you know, let's let's
(16:11):
get it twisted.
Speaker 1 (16:12):
Yeah, definitely did so do most do you guys? I
mean obviously do the trailers and stuff, but for the
initial film and all that kind of stuff, do you
guys do it your own start to finish or do
you collaborate? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (16:23):
We can. I've on my own and manner. I was
director of photography. I've directed and filmed a couple feature
independent feature films, short films, commercials, so you know, I
can do all the filming, but we can take it
from yeah, just an idea to finish product.
Speaker 1 (16:40):
So it's my hunted Manor. Is it true real life?
Speaker 2 (16:44):
It's real? Yeah, Yeah, nothing that's faked on there because
it's all real people that come through there, and you know,
it's just guests that have booked the night that to
investigate and there's cameras set up twenty four to seven,
so anything that they experience we just kind of in
real time react to, try and debunk and a lot
(17:04):
of times it's just wild stuff that we can't explain.
So it's definitely a cool show. It's a great background
history of the location in Columbia, PA. And yeah, definitely
check it out. It's on YouTube right now, My hon
and man Or USA.
Speaker 1 (17:17):
So how do you get into Netflix?
Speaker 2 (17:19):
Get into Netflix? You just pitch ideas, You just uh,
you know, LinkedIn is a great uh way to network
and get connections, and you know, somebody's got to come
up with these ideas and someone has to get you know,
these shows created, and you know, why not us? Why
not you? You know, if it's that's what you're to
just shoot for the stars and then work your way
(17:39):
down until you get a yes.
Speaker 1 (17:41):
Did you ever have any desire to be in front
of the camera.
Speaker 2 (17:44):
Yeah, I've done. Uh, I was in plays and I've
acted in a few films, and I love it. I
love acting. I love you know, everything about filmmaking. So yeah,
I'll hit record and then jump in front of the
screen the act. You know, I'll act, I'll I'll do whatever.
I love it.
Speaker 1 (18:02):
Like I said, you're just kind of the movie stud,
aren't you. You can not only come up with the idea,
you'll act in it, write it, produce it. Yeah, direct
it exactly.
Speaker 3 (18:13):
All right.
Speaker 1 (18:14):
Let's see as a mother actors, Let's see who was
born on November the twentieth Where were moving? Actor Franklin Cover.
(18:40):
He was born in Cleveland, Ohio, in nineteen twenty eight.
He's best known for playing Tom Willis. He was the
white guy on the TV show The Jefferson's Now Roxy.
Roxy Roker played his wife Now. They were the first
interracial couple on TV black white, the first interracial couple.
They weren't considered it. It was uh, Lucille balland dizzieron
Is act in the fifties. Yeah, but people don't really
(19:01):
because Desi is Hispanic. Well, Cuban. But back until the
nineteen seventies, Hispanic wasn't even uninformed. He couldn't even check it.
And it wasn't until the nineteen eighty census that you
could actually check that you were Hispanic otherwise that you
were white. Did you know that, Ricky? You know what,
frank Franklin, if you've all seen The Jeffersons, I'm thinking,
(19:23):
at least right here or something like that, he actually
did Shakespeare before he did the Jeffersons. M No way, Yeah,
I can't see him out there being a fellow or anything,
but okay. He married in nineteen sixty five and they
had a son and a daughter, Franklin. He died in
two thousand and six at seventy seven years old from
a heart condition. Actor, comedian, game show host Richard Dawson.
He was born in Gospart, England in nineteen thirty two.
(19:45):
When he came to the United States, he got really
known for the TV show Hogan's Heroes. Then he was
the most did they still have a match game nowadays?
Speaker 2 (19:53):
Match game? Or he was on? Was he match Game?
Speaker 1 (19:55):
Or yeah? The original guy. He was like the most
famous analyst on there. So whenever anybody in match game
would have to like try and match with the celebrity contestant.
They always picked him because he was the best of
the game.
Speaker 2 (20:07):
He was a pro.
Speaker 1 (20:07):
So he was so popular on Matchkain, they just gained
his own game show. It was called Family Feud. Yeah,
he was the original host, did it for two, three
and thirty four episodes. Kissed over twenty thousand women on it.
Speaker 2 (20:18):
Wow. I was about to ask, that's a lot of kisses.
Speaker 1 (20:20):
I know the younger people don't realize. Yeah, he kissed
every woman who came on that show. Now, Steve Harvey,
he has actually kissed one woman. He's been on there,
and he was actually on there longer than Richard. And
the person that Harvey kissed, he kissed her on the hand.
If you watch the video of it, it's pretty funny.
It was a lady. She came on there and she
he was like, well, Richard kissed everybody, and Harvey's like going, yeah,
(20:41):
well I'm not Richard, and this is the time and
all that kind of stuff, And.
Speaker 2 (20:45):
He kissed everybody, whether they liked it or not.
Speaker 1 (20:48):
And so she got Harvey to kiss him on her hand.
So he kissed her on the hand, but a gentleman,
and he said something you can barely hear, but then
he just bursts out laughing or something. What she had
said is something like, I thought you were working your
way in my wrist, and he thought. She said you
were working your way in my breast. It's actually a
pretty funny clip if you want to go find it. Richard.
(21:09):
He had two children from his first wife. His second
wife was one of those twenty thousand womeny kiss, Yeah
you met her own family feud. Yeah, she has a
contestant on the show. They got married nineteen ninety one
and actually had a daughter now. Richard. His final acting
role was his best. He played Killian in the movie
running Man.
Speaker 2 (21:25):
Oh yeah, the running manmaking Now I heard I saw
an ad for that too.
Speaker 1 (21:33):
Yeah, And I still think Running Man was better than
those Hunger Games movies. And I don't care what they say.
Speaker 2 (21:39):
The game running Man, Yeah, that's classic.
Speaker 1 (21:41):
Those Hunger Games. That girl who wrote it, she just
copied that off a running Man pretty.
Speaker 2 (21:45):
Much basically, Yeah, running Man Junior Richard.
Speaker 1 (21:49):
He died in twenty twelve at seventy nine years old
from the sophocal cancer.
Speaker 2 (22:12):
Singer guitarist Joe Wallash. You can't not recognize that voice
is seventy eight today. Born in Wichita, Kansas, nineteen forty seven.
He started out in the Jeams Gang, and in nineteen
seventy five he was asked to join the Eagles. He
pretty much just played guitar. When the Eagles broke up
nineteen eighty, Joe decided he wanted to sing. And when
solo hit Big Rocky Mountain Way, Life's been Good All
(22:36):
Night Long, Life of Illusion, It's just some of his
solo hits. When the Eagles got back together in nineteen
ninety four, Joe, you know, he's been there ever since.
Do you like Eagles?
Speaker 1 (22:47):
Jeff, Yeah, I do.
Speaker 2 (22:48):
Yeah, you know, it's California Eagles.
Speaker 1 (22:52):
They were kind of like they're kind of in that
genre where rock hard rock country they all come together
with the Eagles.
Speaker 2 (22:57):
Yeah, they kind of do. And from the end of
January to end of March, the Eagles, you know, they're
gonna be playing a bunch of shows with the Sphere
in Las Vegas, so they're still jamming out. Man.
Speaker 1 (23:08):
I'd like to check that out and that'd be awesome.
I mean, it looks like a pretty incredible show, especially
with those guys and now they're different kinds of you know,
they did their solo stuff too. I'm betting.
Speaker 2 (23:17):
Yeah, I'm sure. I'm sure it'd be an amazing show. Joe,
I don't know if you know. He had one child
from his second wife, one child from his third wife,
two children from his fourth wife. Married his fifth wife
in two thousand and eight, and she's Marjorie Bach Ringo,
Starr's sister in law. And I know Stevie Nicks is
mixed up in there somewhere.
Speaker 1 (23:37):
Yeah, they had quite the I don't think Stevie liked
to put the ring on though.
Speaker 2 (23:41):
No, no ring. She didn't want to put a ring
on it. But speaking of a perfect ten actress Bo
Derek is sixty nine today, born in Long Beach, California,
in nineteen fifty six, and she was born Mary Collins.
Bo got famous for the movie Ten, then Tarzan, the
Eight Man, Tommy Boy Love, Tommy Boy, Malibus Most Wanted.
(24:04):
When she was sixteen, she started dating forty six year
old movie director John Derek, and John was married to
actress Linda Evans at the time. He divorced Linda and
moved to Germany with Bo and he couldn't get arrested
for statutory rape in Germany. So yeah, good guy. Yeah.
When Bow turned eighteen, they moved back to the United
(24:25):
States and married. They were twenty two years when John
died in nineteen eighty eight. Married twenty two years. That's good.
A little young there, but it worked.
Speaker 1 (24:36):
I guess.
Speaker 2 (24:36):
Su twenty twenty, Bow married actor John Corbett. So's she's
still around sixty nine. She looks amazing.
Speaker 1 (24:45):
She does, she looks. She looks really good. She's still
a ten actress. Sean Young. She was born in Louisville, Kentucky,
in nineteen fifty nine. She's sixty six. Her first big
movie with Stripes. That's one of my all time favorites.
I think, even though I was a little kid when
it came out, I love Stripes.
Speaker 2 (24:59):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (25:00):
Then she went to sci fi as She went into
a blade Runner and then Fatal Instinct Ace Finz, You're
a pet Detective. She got married, and she got married
in nineteen ninety. They had two sons. Then they divorced
in two thousand and two. I guess they couldn't find
anybody better, so they got remarried in twenty eleven.
Speaker 3 (25:30):
You gotta fight.
Speaker 1 (25:33):
You're right, you like the Beastie Boys.
Speaker 2 (25:39):
I love the Beastie Boys.

in nineteen eighty one. Now before that, they were actually
in a punk band. They called themselves Younger rib Wrong
young a ribbon haber Reginese. I can't say that.
Speaker 2 (26:00):
It's a mouthful.

Yeah, it's too many vowels together there. That's how they started.
Then they went wrap in nineteen eighty one. Brass Monkey,
Fight for your Right to Party, Intergalactic to check it out.
That's some of their heads. Now when Adam Yack, who
was MCA when he died in twenty twelve, Yeah, they
just called her quiz. They didn't want to go on
without Adam as being a beastie boy. They didn't want
to replace him. Now, Drummond Diamond, he got married in
(26:23):
nineteen ninety three and they have a son and a daughter,
but they're currently separated.
Speaker 5 (26:28):
Put that across my mind a little too, because I
was singing a little mon tanged out, sitting right there
in the middle, bounding singing, man just got again. I
