Oh yeah, there we go, because I always forget, and
so I went. I had all my notes not to

Yep, that's a fun game to play.

Yee.

Speaker 4 (01:17):
So we do have a guest host in studio, wit
or Whitney, right, it doesn't what's your birth name? Whitney Whittaker?
Oh yeah, but wit for short? So are you a nurse?
What do you what do you do? I was trying
to figure that out.

Speaker 5 (01:31):
Yeah, so I've been to nurse seventeen years already.

Speaker 4 (01:34):
So wow, yeah, I know that started when you were twelve.

Speaker 6 (01:38):
Man.

Speaker 5 (01:38):
Yeah, so it's crazy looking back. So I did trauma ICU.

Speaker 2 (01:42):
Oh wow?

Speaker 5 (01:43):
For a very long time, so kind of the right
when COVID kind of started, I branched out into medical devices.
Was a clinical educator. But then, as I'm sure you've
all heard, the money was you know, a little, it
was increased quite a bit for them at that time.
So I'm like, let me step and let me do
some travel nursing, went back and went through the COVID season,

(02:05):
and then came back and back into medical devices. So
it was a clinical educator mostly on that side. But
now I'm in the sales.

Speaker 4 (02:13):
Right, Okay, So do you travel a lot?

Speaker 6 (02:15):
Yeah?

Speaker 5 (02:15):
I cover nineteen states right now.

Speaker 1 (02:17):
Wow.

Speaker 5 (02:17):
So we're on the consumable side. So you know, the
big cardiac monitors you see people hooked up to. That's
the company Phillips that I work for. Okay, but I
sell more of the consumables, so the wires, the blood
pressure cuffs, that kind of stuff.

Speaker 4 (02:32):
Yeah, the stuff you're gonna get rid of disposables or whatever. Right, Yeah,
got it. Yeah. So you've probably seen a lot of
stuff in your life, like stuff that most people have
not seen. Yes, yeah, based on your experience, Does Clark
look healthy to you?

Speaker 5 (02:45):
Yes? Okay, all right, I think we're solid for perfect Yep,
got it.

Speaker 3 (02:50):
I've been in the healthcare industry for a long time,
like mostly like laboratories, laboratory work, So I made you
want to come of sales from like being a nurse,
if you don't mind me asking.

Speaker 5 (03:00):
Yeah, So, honestly, I hate to even give him this credit,
but I will say my ex husband was in the
sales side of things with a roofing distribution. I kind
of saw his life and his work life balance and
kind of how he did things. I'm like, you know,
this is kind of a nice little gig. I like
what you got going on. So then but I wanted

(03:20):
to connect it obviously to the medical field, so what
can I do? And then I got into medical to
you know, started researching that part of it. But then
I also like the education part. So and you know,
after a while, bedside nursing gets pretty taxing, you know,
especially in a high stress environment like I see u
er and so I knew eventually I was going to
have to find something to possibly just transition to. So

(03:43):
it was it's been wonderful and I'm really blessed to
have the job I have. Now, that's good.

Speaker 3 (03:49):
Yeah, I've been approached to like do sales mainly from
like selling tests, laboratory tests. Yeah, I'm always in the
fence about just like sales in general because I think, like, oh,
you know, we have to like be very adamant and like, like,
I don't know, it's I'm always scared, so like you
don't want to be pushy. Yeah, I don't like being pushy,
you know, Like I like to just present the facts.

(04:12):
Present been a way of like because I really can't
lie and I really don't want to. I feel like
just being honest and truthful is like, hey, you know
this is I'm being honest with you and kind of
like entice them that way, you know, kind of build
a relationship with them that way.

Speaker 6 (04:27):
Right.

Speaker 3 (04:28):
I don't know if that work or not because I
never done honest.

Speaker 5 (04:31):
So coming out onto the sale side of it, I
had the interaction and I could communicate with people very well,
But the sale side is still kind of what I'm growing. Okay,
but I have in my eight months of experience I've
had now they want you to be honest, they be real.
They don't want you to be as them because at
the end of the day, they're going to find out
if you are they're going to You want to build
that trust with your customer, and you want to build

(04:52):
that rapport and relationship and that's how you continue to grow.

Speaker 4 (04:55):
So and you're talking about somebody's life too, right, like
you're selling a faulty device. It really doesn't represent you
were the company.

Speaker 5 (05:00):
Well no, not at all?

Speaker 3 (05:01):
Okay, Well, yes, I had the misconception and my mind.

Speaker 5 (05:04):
Well, I'm sure in some instances you're going to have
salesmen probably like I don't whoever, whatever industry, there's probably
those people that probably abuse that whole situation a little
bit more than others.

Speaker 3 (05:15):
I hear them over deliver to the client and the
client's like calling and they're like, well that salesperson told
me you do this, this, this, And I'm like, I
don't know what they told you. Yeah, I mean that's
not how we do it at all exactly. And so
now it really is like the deal's gone. Yeah, yes
at that point, and I just hate that.

Speaker 5 (05:32):
And yeah, once you burn, they won't forget. Yeah they
I will say that, people will tend to forget what
you say, but they will never forget how you made
them feel. So that's one thing that.

Speaker 3 (05:41):
Oh, that's a good Yeah, that's good.

Speaker 4 (05:43):
They won't have that tattooed on my arm.

Speaker 3 (05:47):
I thought your leg.

Speaker 4 (05:48):
Oh no on the leg too. Yeah no, but that's true.
So I back in the day, it took all these
sales courses and everything, and I didn't want to That's
my approach how I did it was I didn't want
to be pushy. I can't sell you something if I
don't believe in it, right, So I would just and
then sometimes to be like, well, if you don't want it,
that's fine, there's a place. Let me tell you somebody
else who sells it. And then a lot of times
when we do that, when you show how honest you are,
they're like, you know what, I'm already here, let me

(06:10):
just go ahead and buy it, right, you know that
kind of thing.

Speaker 5 (06:12):
So I live by a trust, but verify right. So
and your customers will eventually find that out after a while.

Speaker 4 (06:18):
So yeah, and you like it better than nursing because
you don't have to deal with the trauma of families,
you know, all that heartbreaking stuff you have to deal
with every day.

Speaker 1 (06:27):
Right.

Speaker 5 (06:27):
Yeah. It was just a lot, like especially after COVID,
like seeing what we saw and it was just such
a hard, like mentally, emotionally, physically, it was just taxing
and so after a while, like it's just it's a lot.
And to be honest, nurses are extremely underpaid.

Speaker 1 (06:43):
Well I believe it.

Speaker 5 (06:44):
Yeah, and it's that even paramedics EMTZ. You look at
it as a whole situation, you know, like we have
a license to practice, but also during that period of time,
that person's lives in my hand. Yeah, Like yeah, that's
a lot to sit on, you know, and then to
get paid what you do. Like, like I said, I'm
blessed to be able to do what I do now
and make the money I make, because I wouldn't be
able to do that at the bedside. So but I know,

(07:06):
the average burnout right right now is like five years
already trying to leave five years.

Speaker 4 (07:12):
Yeah, for people out there who you know, I have
a lot of friends that are doctors and nurses and
stuff like that. When COVID came around, it was all like, oh,
it's just a hoax, but they were really truly working
and overloaded and like that stuff was real, right.

Speaker 1 (07:24):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (07:24):
I always say I wish we would have had body
cams like cops too during that time. I think it
would have opened a lot of people's eyes to what
we actually were enduring. I mean, and this is I
was just in a few states. I mean I can
only you know, you hear what New York and all
them went through. And I couldn't even imagine.

Speaker 4 (07:40):
One of my friends with doctor in New York at
the time, yep, and yeah, I think she got out
of work in the hospital too.

Speaker 5 (07:46):
It's just yeah, I mean, I'm I'm thankful that I
got to. I always say, like kind of serve our
country in a sense like I'm thankful. I would would
do it all over again. I mean, we ultimately did
put our health at risk it, you know, during that time,
and that's okay. I would have done it again. And
you know, I was, you know, blessed to be able
to experience that because it was quite an experience. For sure.

Speaker 4 (08:07):
I didn't appreciate nurses until I broke my leg. And
I'll tell you the story here real quick, because I
know you're new here. But I was in a tragic
scooter accident about I don't know, eight years ago now,
seven years, I don't know how longo it was in
Deep l I'm riding a scooter, shouted my leg sixteen
places went to the hospital. They had to do two surgeries.
I was there for a full week. I lived like

(08:28):
a king, and I had my one of my nurses, Hattie,
incredible nurse. She was my overnight nurse. We had a
great relationship. She wouldn't give me more drugs when I
asked for it. I was in a lot of pain, obviously,
but she would. I would set a time on my
She goes, you can have it in two hours thirty minutes.
So I said okay, and I set a time on
my phone and when that timer went off, I pushed
the button. She was already waiting at the door coming in.

Speaker 1 (08:48):
Took care I.

Speaker 4 (08:49):
I didn't want to leave. They tried to get They said,
you got to go because you're you know, things are up.
Your surgery's done. You can go home now. I said,
can I pay for an extra day? I thought it
was like a hotel. I was like, I was having
so much fun. Can I one more? Just bill me
for it? Not a big deal, I'll pay for it.
I think it was gonna be like three hundred dollars,
but didn't know it's gonna be like a you know,
twenty five thousand for you to night, Yeah for sure,

(09:11):
but great time. But I really did have great nurses
except for one, but everyone else is great.

Speaker 5 (09:15):
Yeah there's nurses and then there's nurses and a couple variations,
but yeah, yeah, the ones that care will make your experience.

Speaker 4 (09:22):
Are you from Dallas originally? Are you from this area?

Speaker 2 (09:25):
No?

Speaker 5 (09:25):
I was born and raised in Iowa, very small, small town,
kind of on a farm in a sense. So my
nearest neighbor was like four miles down the gravel road.

Speaker 4 (09:33):
How long have you lived in Dallas?

Speaker 5 (09:35):
Graduated in two thousand and four? That sounds terrible. And
then I graduated, yeah, and then moved Like the next day,
I drove my four tourists to Texas at seventeen and
been here ever since.

Speaker 4 (09:46):
Really, wow, why Texas?

Speaker 5 (09:49):
So my family actually have family in like Haslet, North Texas,
and I would come in the summers and visit.

Speaker 1 (09:54):
And I'm like Clark knows too, Yeah, I have family
in Haslet.

Speaker 5 (09:58):
Yeah. It was great. Now it's like I can't even
recognize it anymore with how much growth. But and I
was like, this is where it's at, Like coming from
Iowa to a small crown, Yeah, I was like, this
is where I want to come.

Speaker 4 (10:08):
You're like a Mary Kay Nashley movie. You know, I
start they started in the country and yep, they go
to New York.

Speaker 5 (10:15):
So I actually had a chance to, you know, get
a scholarship to play volleyball in Iowa, and I was
just like, I don't care a yeah, out of here.
I don't want to be here any longer. And so yeah,
I left and haven't looked back.

Speaker 4 (10:25):
And then nursing was something you fell into.

Speaker 5 (10:28):
Yeah, well, my mom's and nurse. I have a couple
of family members, and it just I always had a
heart to serve and I always had a heart for people,
and so I kind of already had a sense that
that was where I was going to head in awesome.

Speaker 4 (10:40):
Yeah, well how long? So you've lived in Dallas since
for twenty years? Twenty one years?

Speaker 5 (10:44):
Yep.

Speaker 4 (10:45):
So I'm going to talk about this restaurant. You may
been to it that I went to this past week
and a lot of people talk about it.

Speaker 1 (10:53):
They love it.

Speaker 4 (10:54):
My hair girl says it's our favorite restaurant ever. So
I was my expectation is really high.

Speaker 1 (10:59):
I go there.

Speaker 4 (10:59):
It's in the design district. Are not a big fan
of the design district.

Speaker 1 (11:03):
I don't know why.

Speaker 4 (11:03):
It's just too many. It feels like a storage area.
The entire place feels like I'm in somebody's garage.

Speaker 7 (11:10):
A bug named restaurant. No, okay, what do you think
it of? A bug name? No, they're God places.

Speaker 1 (11:17):
All right, Thank God.

Speaker 4 (11:19):
When I go to a restaurant, I'm hungry. I just
want to eat. Give me good food. I don't care
about experience anymore. I don't care about how the weight
staff is. I don't care about any of that. You
can be the most miserable person in the world. Just
give me some good food. So I'm really excited about this.
We go in. Nothing on the menu is popping out
to me. I'm very Actually I'm not very hungry. So
I had a big lunch and that was my mistake.
So there's one strike against me there. But I was

(11:42):
so hungry. I was so insanely hungry because I had reservation.
I couldn't think, and nothing was popping out of me.

Speaker 1 (11:47):
Actually I wasn't.

Speaker 4 (11:47):
I had reservations. I walk in and the first thing
I say at the host is, I guess I shouldn't
have made a reservation because there's no there's nobody here.
She didn't find it funny.

Speaker 1 (11:56):
I did.

Speaker 4 (11:58):
I get seated.

Speaker 3 (11:58):
She's like Sarah about my Yeah, nobody's we're.

Speaker 1 (12:01):
Going out of business.

Speaker 5 (12:03):
I can't make Yeah.

Speaker 1 (12:05):
She's like crying, yeah, down God.

Speaker 4 (12:11):
But it filled up really quick, so I couldn't figure
out what we were going to eat.

Speaker 1 (12:15):
And so.

Speaker 4 (12:16):
The waiter guy comes back and he goes, we have
the special right now. It's ninety nine dollars a person.
And I said, it's like a surprise box. And he goes, yeah,
we're just going to be four courses. We're don't even
tell you what they are. They're gonna bring it, you're
gonna eat it. I said, you know what, that sounds
good because nothing's popping out on me right now on
the menu. So did you guys do that at that
place you worked at Clark Gemma?

Speaker 1 (12:36):
Yeah?

Speaker 4 (12:37):
Is it more like a shareable plate type place you
order a meal, that's your meal, right?

Speaker 1 (12:42):
Yes?

Speaker 4 (12:42):
Okay, So where'd you go? I'll tell you if to
say it. I don't want to bleep it out. No,
I don't want too much work.

Speaker 1 (12:48):
Well, you're making me like you sit here and think
about like that's the whole point.

Speaker 3 (12:52):
That's the point. But that deal doesn't sound good to
me at all. That sounds like whatever I have in
the chef's tasting I'm he.

Speaker 4 (13:01):
Said, well, he said some things are off menu, some
things are on menu. So I'm like, oh, cool, hidden menu.
That's where I got it. Is this a chef or
the waiter or late person?

Speaker 1 (13:12):
Pardon me?

Speaker 4 (13:12):
They bring it out the first course compan so I'm
thinking one hundred dollars a person. They're going to bring
two things of every you know, two sets of everything
is what I'm thinking. It's mean another person. Uh no,
it's one thing they bring out, So what do we
Why are we splitting this? You're bringing up one you
know what I mean. It doesn't make sense. So that
irritated me. They bring out the fourth Everything was okay,

(13:33):
it was good. It wasn't terrible, but it was just
too much of a I feel like they put too
much in the experience and the aesthetic than the food.
The main meal was like this uh steak thing. It
was pretty good, but again I'm sharing it with another person,
so I'm only getting half of that and I want
the whole thing. But she paid well, I mean I
paid for the whole thing, but she paid one hundred
I paid one hundred essentially, and we had to split

(13:54):
lunchables basically. So here's where they did get me though.
So I was already about to, you know, give this
restaurant a terrible review in my head, not in real life.
And uh, they go, well, how about you have dessert
in our speakeasy in the back. You guys have a speaker,
he goes yeah. So they walk into the kitchen, you
go on the back and it's a really cool, totally
different vibe in the back place. And I'm like, oh,
we should have just ate here, bring me here. So

(14:16):
we go, sit down, we get they bring us a dessert.
Had a great time there, and then I go, do
you guys have any snacks because I'm now I want
like some you know, after dinner snacks or something like that,
after dessert, after dessert snacks.

Speaker 7 (14:30):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (14:30):
I do that.

Speaker 4 (14:31):
And most restaurants they'll they'll be like, yeah, here's a
here's a dumb down menu, here's what we got, or
we have special items that you can only get back here,
that kind of thing. That's what I'm thinking. Yeah, no,
they only get the full menu back there. So I'm
going to start a show called Fancy restaurant rescue where
I go to restaurant restaurants that are doing very well.
I'm very successful, and I tell them what I think
they should do to make it even better. That's what

(14:52):
I'm gonna do. So I think a uh, to stop
with the shareable things. I don't like restaurants I have
like shareable plates. Don't do that anymoreizers atizers, Yes, I'm
talking about entrees. If you order an entree, they bring
it out as a shareable That's what irritates me. An
appetizer I planned to share with.

Speaker 5 (15:06):
The table, or like the sides, you know, like the
right side sides like that makes.

Speaker 4 (15:10):
Sense, Like mashed potatoes. I'm not gonna eat a whole
thing of lobster mac by myself. I want to share that,
so that's for the table. But if I order trout,
don't bring it in a little thing with three crackers,
you know what I mean. And then I'm supposed to
share with the other person. I don't want to do that,
So stop doing that and come up with a bar
menu or like a little snack menu. I think I
had something else on my list, but that was it.
Overall'd get the experience because of the speakeasy a seven

(15:32):
out of ten. I enjoyed it.

Speaker 3 (15:34):
So what was it before speaks?

Speaker 4 (15:36):
Oh it was it was probably a six because of
the food. The environment was great, the white staff was great.
But I don't care about any of that.

Speaker 1 (15:43):
Put me in a hole in the wall. Mike's rating
system kind of starts at five. Right, Yeah, I'm neutral.
It's not great.

Speaker 3 (15:50):
Me hearing the story, I would have gave it Indica
three or four.

Speaker 4 (15:52):
Yeah, yeah, no, I mean the staff was great. The
staff was really good. You know, they said it. It
was a really nice place. If you're in an you know,
Instagram influencer, there's a great place to go take little
pictures and stuff. But I'm not doing any of that.
I just want to eat and I want to get
And if you say you're Italian, not saying those places Italian,
but if you say you're Italian, have Italian food on

(16:13):
the thing. I want like some Italian fusion.

Speaker 1 (16:15):
This.

Speaker 4 (16:15):
Give me a big plate and an entree.

Speaker 1 (16:17):
I want that. It's really hard. What is to like
listen this review.

Speaker 4 (16:23):
Without knowing what it is exactly. Let me let me know.
It was like, you know, I'll tell you what it is.
I'm gonna mute it, okay, and it's I mean, all
the restings I've been to from that that family of
restaurants have been good, but they're all be in the

(16:43):
same way, and it never makes me really want to
go back there because it's all all share a gole.
I don't know what I would a good place to
go when I'm really hungry, Derby down the street.

Speaker 1 (16:52):
So okay, well you're you're you're mixing two different experiences. Okay,
Well regard Chili's and then the mix Ritz Carlton, Yes,
Chili's too. Well, that's a hotel, Ritz Carlton. I go
to the fair my favorite restaurant, Dallas Fairings. I can
go there, I can get appetizes for the table and
my own little entree.

Speaker 7 (17:09):
Yeah, but that restaurant is like what five years old. Yeah,
I don't got to be That's what I'm saying.

Speaker 1 (17:14):
Like he's stuck in his he's stuck in his you
know what he developed as a as a as a
model to run a restaurant. Yeah, and he's not gonna
he's not Yeah, he's not going to do the shareable
snack crap. Yeah, That's what I'm saying. I don't like
that I don't want to sell. This is probably most
famous hotel right without it, doubt No, he's not going
to do that there.

Speaker 4 (17:33):
Right, that's what I'm saying. That's why I like that.
That's why that's what I approve of. But he can't,
like he can't just fuck into every restaurant on my
new show. Hey, that's the whole talk last long. Hey,
I know you guys are very successful. Everyone talks about you.
But here we go. This is what I would do.

Speaker 1 (17:47):
You're only going to have three places to go to eat.
If that's that's fine, I wouldn't go back. I would
not go back to this place. Actually, I want to
go back for the speakeasy. And that's it because it
was cool a little bit back. The speak and Open
was pretty good. Speakeasy's a dead horse. It's been beaten
to day. Right, Yeah, it's it's over the time. Let
me drink there.

Speaker 4 (18:04):
Yeah, and you know, can I can I do it without?
Can I just come into the back door whatever? Here's
what to speaking the back door. They have a back door.
I'd rather come in the back door, you know what
I mean?

Speaker 1 (18:13):
I know what you mean.

Speaker 4 (18:15):
The other thing I would wish they would do in
the this would this would have made this a twelve
to ten if they had, like FBI banging on the door,
because I feel I want to feel like I'm.

Speaker 1 (18:22):
In You want that real nineteen thirty five ceiling.

Speaker 7 (18:25):
Yeah, okay, so you need like a pocket sandwich theater, right,
but a speakeasy.

Speaker 4 (18:30):
I would to feel like I'm in danger, FBI, which
I kind of do in that area. By the way,
the Design District is pretty dangerous, so I do kind
of feel like I'm in danger, but not from you know,
the government.

Speaker 1 (18:39):
You're more in dangerous someone you know, washing your windshield
and demanding cash in the Design District. Yeah, anywhere, well,
I mean, yeah, yeah, that's true.

Speaker 4 (18:49):
But over here though, I uh but I mean the
cars get broken into all the time in that area,
like Double D's.

Speaker 5 (18:56):
E've been there, Yeah a couple of times.

Speaker 4 (18:58):
Have you got broken into?

Speaker 5 (19:00):
I think I've ubered.

Speaker 4 (19:01):
Yeah that's what I do. Yeah, it's just it's I
like that area, but I don't like that area.

Speaker 1 (19:06):
It's a weird.

Speaker 4 (19:06):
I have a love I love the Virgin Hotel. They
have good food there, and our friend Palmer works there
at nights and always hooks us up. So I enjoy
that place, but that's that's about it. Carbones don't like it.
That's not who I was talking about.

Speaker 7 (19:21):
I would not go restaurant. But the restaurant you went to,
I don't figure it out. One did you enjoy it
or not?

Speaker 1 (19:28):
Yeah?

Speaker 5 (19:28):
It was great, I think it, but I don't know.
I don't. Being from Iowa, I feel like my you
could hand me probably a cardboard box with food in it.
It probably wouldn't complain. I write, I'm such a bad critic.

Speaker 1 (19:42):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, well that's how I was.

Speaker 4 (19:44):
And then I started going with a buddy of mine
years and years ago to these fine dining restaurants on
mine was blown and we were every month we'd go
to a new one. And so now I've done it
so much now that like find downing wasn't even a thing.
Nobody was doing. Find out, you know, you would go
out for a anniversary or whatever.

Speaker 1 (19:58):
That was it.

Speaker 4 (19:59):
But now Dallas, all there is is fine diying and
that's like what everyone does. So I go to these
places with all these you know, Russians I've been to
in my mind and I'm like, I don't really like this.
I don't want this experience. But it's all experience based, right,
I don't care about that. I want to take pictures,
I want to eat.

Speaker 5 (20:13):
There's that.

Speaker 4 (20:13):
Yeah, But but Carbones I didn't have. I felt like
it was over a little overrated. It wasn't bad food,
it was just overrated, I think in my opinion. Yeah,
but the price that you pay for everything, that's true.
I think it was a little bit much. But it
was very busy, Like I was it when.

Speaker 1 (20:28):
You went packed?

Speaker 5 (20:29):
Yeah, and I think it had just opened at that time.
This was like what a year and a half ago
or yeah, so or two years ago when they opened here. Yeah,
so it was just busy. It was like packed.

Speaker 4 (20:39):
Yeah, it's I think we went like a few months ago.
And I walk in and the lady goes, I'm sorry, sir,
we're all busy, like we're we're all filled or whatever.
And I look, there's it's a Sunday night. Nobody's there
on the table, like, no, no tables filled. I said,
what about all these empty tables here? And she goes, oh,
those are all reserved. I said, for who, it's already
it's like dinner time already. I'm just looking for a good,

(21:00):
good restaurant that when people come to town, I can
take them to that restaurant every time. That's not just Derby.
Oh yeah, that's what I'm looking for.

Speaker 1 (21:06):
Yeah, because they have weird hours too. Yeah, Derby down
it sucks. Have you been to Derby?

Speaker 2 (21:10):
No?

Speaker 5 (21:10):
I was going to say. I when people ask me,
like if they're going to come to Dallas, I'm like,
I'm not the one. Yeah, Like I probably go to
the same Chipotle that's right by my house or something simple.
I'm just that's all I am at home because being
on the road traveling as much as I do, I
appreciate a home cooked meal.

Speaker 1 (21:26):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (21:26):
I appreciate cooking when.

Speaker 4 (21:27):
I'm Yeah, I can imagine.

Speaker 5 (21:29):
So I'm like, no, I don't want to go eat nowhere.

Speaker 4 (21:31):
Right, I'm a I'm a Chili's guy. I'll go if
I can't figure out anything to eat, I'll go to
Chili's or have a broad here and and I like it.
It's good food, good value.

Speaker 5 (21:39):
I go for the burger every time.

Speaker 1 (21:41):
So the burgers are great.

Speaker 5 (21:42):
Yeah, I was like, I never really.

Speaker 1 (21:43):
See the case is good.

Speaker 5 (21:44):
Yeah, that in the ranch is yeah, some good chips
in the.

Speaker 1 (21:48):
Rains and you're paying you walk out.

Speaker 4 (21:49):
We I think it was like last Christmas, A few
of us went out, like right before the Christmas Show
or something, and I remember I was you an.

Speaker 1 (21:56):
Spider was there?

Speaker 7 (21:57):
Eric?

Speaker 3 (21:57):
No, I wasn't there.

Speaker 1 (21:58):
I remember, Oh you weren't there.

Speaker 4 (21:59):
Somebody else was there, and I think I paid for
everyone's tab and it was like ninety dollars.

Speaker 1 (22:05):
It was like that was a great Christmas miracle. Then
that was the thing that he remembered most about last christ.

Speaker 3 (22:10):
Dollar amount, not like whenever we're in l A.

Speaker 1 (22:12):
Yeah. Yeah, he didn't remember the part.

Speaker 4 (22:14):
Yeah, yeah, it was like I remember to look at
the tab and that's amazing. But I'm gonna he's gonna
put a copy of that receipt in our Christmas card
this year, and he's going to be like, hey, remember
that time.

Speaker 1 (22:25):
I got to beat this Ye, we gotta beat that prices.

Speaker 5 (22:28):
Here, No extracide for you, yeah, Ranch.

Speaker 4 (22:32):
That's what I'm looking for. Our buddy, one of our buddies,
a voice actor. He plays Bugs Bunny. He's the current
voice like Bugs and Daffy. He was in town a
few months ago, maybe like this time last year. I
think actually I had just gotten the night Rider car.
So it was August and he was like, yeah, let's
go get some neat and I panicked because I couldn't
think of a like immediate My mind goes to Chili's
or you know whatever, these places I would go to,

(22:53):
and I'm panicking because I can't think of where to go.
So I know there was the hot spot Nick and
Sam's and all that, but I'd rather take it to
a cool plays good food and he'll enjoy it. Maybe
he has a cool environment or whatever. But I couldn't think
of anything. So I've been on like a year long
quest to find a good restaurant that I could recommend
and take people to. But yeah, so that's my quest,
and yeah, I don't have anything else to add to

(23:16):
that review. So I guess we'll take a break and
when we hold it right back.

think for me like outfits really like tell me the
story a little bit people, So like I have seen
her in a different like ensemble every time I see her,

Speaker 4 (26:22):
Yeah, I'm getting homeschool vibes.

Speaker 1 (26:24):
Yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (26:25):
Like when I first met her, I was a little
house in the perry because like she was wearing this
like I don't know, Pennycostal like outfit like her.

Speaker 4 (26:34):
As a handmaid's tell cosplays what it was.

Speaker 3 (26:36):
And I was like Barry, I was like, oh, let
me watch what I say around her, like you know,
edit myself. And then next thing, you know, she's like
come in here, like.

Speaker 4 (26:45):
She's more gangster than anything else in here, and You're like, wow, you.

Speaker 5 (26:49):
Have those sides.

Speaker 3 (26:50):
You know what to expect, right, Yeah, So I'm enjoying
every time I see her, Like what am I going
to get?

Speaker 6 (26:56):
Right?

Speaker 1 (26:56):
No idea.

Speaker 4 (26:57):
I know she says something every week that I'm like,
blow is my mind? Like I was not expecting it.
So all right, and we're slowly bringing her on. She
was just gonna behind the scenes. You don't want to
talk don't wanna be on the mic or camera or anything.
And we're slowly, slowly bringing her into the fold here,
So you want to be on camera at some point
you okay with that?

Speaker 6 (27:17):
Oh?

Speaker 5 (27:17):
Are you trying to get my consent?

Speaker 1 (27:19):
No? No, no, this is not being recorded.

Speaker 4 (27:23):
Yeah, at some point if I shower, Yeah, yeah, well,
I mean I would hope, I would hope you do
that before you come in here.

Speaker 1 (27:28):
I showered today. Yeah.

Speaker 4 (27:29):
If Clark can do it, you can do it.

Speaker 6 (27:31):
Uh.

Speaker 4 (27:31):
So this game is uh, you know, I was thinking
about all the times that you know, a lot of
bombs have been flowing the past couple of weeks around
the world, and.

Speaker 1 (27:39):
Uh, missiles.

Speaker 4 (27:42):
Yeah, okay, it doesn't go with it. If I said missiles,
it's not going to go with what I'm saying. So
let's just pretend it's yeah, the B two. Well they
don't call it B two missile. They called the B
two bomber.

Speaker 1 (27:52):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (27:53):
Yeah, it's a lot of right drones or whatever. So
I thought about doing this game called Box Office Bombs, ah,
where these are just random movies throughout the past twenty
years or so. I'm gonna give you two titles of
movies and you have the guests which one was the bomb?
Meaning it didn't you know it lost money?

Speaker 3 (28:15):
Does have to think one more time?

Speaker 1 (28:16):
Yeah, yeah, because that's what a bomb sounds like. Yeah,
breaking glass, That sounds more like a car crash. I
can't even tell you how many we went through to
find that, and that was the best one.

Speaker 3 (28:26):
That sounds just like a car r I'm like, there's
no bomb.

Speaker 4 (28:31):
Yeah, I see. This is what I feel like when
Screws McDuck dives into his little coins, Like, that's a sound.
I think it would make a hard time. Well, he's
in a big auditorium. That thing's gonna right about that.

Speaker 1 (28:44):
I don't know. I'm just having this vision of a
B two flying, you know, six thousand miles and dropping
a seventy two nova on top of iranium the car.

Speaker 4 (28:52):
Nova like yeah, yeah, yeah, nova, yeah, like the one
in the hallway that my first car.

Speaker 1 (28:59):
RP.

Speaker 4 (29:00):
Yeah it's gone. I still have the emblem from it.
I'm thinking about putting it on the night Rider car.
You don't think so oh.

Speaker 3 (29:08):
A little It is a little Easter egg from the.

Speaker 4 (29:11):
Pink dick on It is so wind has no idea
what we're talking about. So do you remember the show.
Now that we know your age, she doesn't care about
the shows. I know, but let me get to that.
I got to build up to it. So you know
the show night Rider? Yes, okay, so I bought a
night Rider replica car, so the outside isn't exactly like

(29:33):
night Rider except for one small detail that I didn't
know about. They get shipped here, I take it to
a mechanic. They do some work to it to get
it all fixed up. It's like, you know, a forty
year old car, and uh. As I went to go
pick it up, they're like, did you see the pictures
that we sent you? And I'm like, yeah, you know,
they sent me pictures of like the stuff that was
damage I needed to take care of at some point,
and I said.

Speaker 1 (29:53):
Okay, yeah I saw them.

Speaker 4 (29:54):
Did you see the pink paint? And I go, no,
it's it. In my mind, I'm thinking maybe somebody that
shot repair on it and they spray painted with pink
or whatever. I don't know what was going on. Anyway,
he can't find the photo and he goes, here's somebody
painted a pink dong on the bottom of your car,
and uh, I wonder.

Speaker 7 (30:10):
If he thought dong was the most professional, well mechanics, mechanics.
Let's say, I say, Dick, what's Yeah, yeah, I just
go a dong and we haven't really seen it, so
you don't know. And so my first question was, but

(30:31):
did you black it out? Like did you take care
of it like it's on the bottom of the car.
Did you just they have this blackout paint and you
get rid of it? Guys, No, we just wanted you
to see it.

Speaker 4 (30:42):
And I said, okay, So I said, uh, next time
I come to, you know, drop the car off for something,
can you guys just black it out? And they're like yeah,
but I mean I haven't taken it back to him yet.
It's been to a couple of other mechanics. No one
has said anything about the dong.

Speaker 6 (30:55):
Uh.

Speaker 4 (30:56):
So I want to shoot a video and me taking
it to a mechanic shop and putting have him put
him on the lift so I can see the dong. Yeah,
but that's how I know it's my car.

Speaker 5 (31:03):
I was gonna say, I don't know if I would.

Speaker 4 (31:04):
I think I want to keep it. Yeah, keep your dog.
All right, let's play the I missed my game board
up here.

Speaker 1 (31:14):
We'll use this one struggle.

Speaker 4 (31:19):
All right, yeah, I gotta figure this out.

Speaker 1 (31:25):
I didn't know the prices right.

Speaker 4 (31:26):
Theme was the public after Bob died, when the public's man. Okay,
box office bombs. Let's start with a test one really quick,
John Carter versus Avatar?

Speaker 1 (31:40):
Which one was the bomb? John Carter? What was John Carter?
That was the maybe Disney movie Guy goes to Mars
based on like some sort of old science fiction book,
maybe Julliet Jills Vern. I don't remember who was in it,
was it Army Hammer.

Speaker 5 (31:58):
I just remember how the Avatar movie was, and so
I was like.

Speaker 1 (32:02):
That, Yeah, it wouldn't give me that one. Yeah.

Speaker 5 (32:05):
Yeah, isn't Avatar like the yeah? Popular? It was like, yeah,
everybody did it for Halloween that year and it was
a big deal.

Speaker 1 (32:13):
Yeah, Okay, Edgar novel and it started Taylor Kitsch.

Speaker 4 (32:22):
I mean, you guys are right. I just I'm looking
for the the ding.

Speaker 3 (32:26):
So are we saying the bomb like bomb like made
less money?

Speaker 1 (32:31):
Yeah?

Speaker 4 (32:32):
So for example, you guys are correct, John Carter was
the correct answer. The budget was two hundred and sixty
three million. The box office was uh eighty four, which
was a huge loss. Yeah, because of you know, marketing
and all that stuff. Yeah, well it wasn't a Yeah,
it was still lost because they don't incorporate the marketing
budget and yeah, yeah, which we haven't done that for

(32:52):
Love is Electric. We have to incorporate our marketing. But yeah,
I had it. I don't know what happened to it.
It was so there's a game board that has just
the song, and then my little I guess I can no,
I can't use that.

Speaker 1 (33:04):
There's so many boards though.

Speaker 4 (33:05):
I know, and I can't find the right one. And
then here, oh, here he goes.

Speaker 1 (33:09):
There we go. All right, we're back all that for.

Speaker 4 (33:12):
That, that's aristolic hue. I didn't care about John Carter.
I was asking the question so that I can find
these things. All right, here we go. This is the
first real question. Loane Ranger or Pirates of the Caribbean
dead Man's Chest? Which one was the bomb Clark?

Speaker 1 (33:28):
Lone Ranger?

Speaker 4 (33:29):
Okay, what do you think?

Speaker 5 (33:32):
Lone Ranger?

Speaker 3 (33:33):
Yeah, Lonranger, I guess.

Speaker 4 (33:35):
Catherine, Yeah, Spider, I'll go against everybody, all right, the
Lone Ranger is correct. I had a two hundred and
twenty five million dollar budget and lost over one hundred
and ninety million.

Speaker 1 (33:46):
That started Armie Hammer. No, that was Johnny Depp. Well
it started Army Hammer too. What did was he was
talking ranger? Who was he?

Speaker 4 (33:55):
He was the lone Ranger? Oh, Johnny Depp was Tonto? Yes,
got it? Battlefield Earth or The Postman? I don't remember
this one at all. So Battlefield Earth came out in
two thousand, The Postman came out in nineteen ninety sevens Man.

Speaker 1 (34:09):
But Kevin Costner then it's long. It's a very long movie.
I'd have to say Battlefield Earth.

Speaker 4 (34:16):
Okay, I'm gonna say that the one the Postman.

Speaker 5 (34:19):
What do you think I'm gonna go with? What was
the first one?

Speaker 1 (34:23):
Battlefield Earth?

Speaker 5 (34:24):
That one? Because Kevin Costner anything with him did pretty well. Yeah,
I agree.

Speaker 4 (34:29):
The correct answer is The Postman budget eighty million and
it only made twenty million in the US. And I
don't think so Costner directed it is what this thing said?

Speaker 1 (34:41):
Well, Postman was also a Christmas Day release because I
remember it coming out around Christmas.

Speaker 3 (34:46):
What was it about?

Speaker 1 (34:46):
Tom Petty? Was about? It was about? Yeah, Tom Petty
wasn't It was about a postman working in post apocalyptic Oh,
I'm trying to get people their mail. Yeah. After the
nuclear war and he's like on horseback too. It's it's
a good movie. Yeah, I mean it's ahead of its time.

Speaker 5 (35:03):
You said it's long.

Speaker 7 (35:03):
Yeah, yeah, it felt long at the time. I'd have
to look up what the runtime is.

Speaker 1 (35:07):
Yeah, I remember ninety minutes.

Speaker 5 (35:10):
What is the average run time nowadays?

Speaker 4 (35:12):
Usually about now it's like three hours. No it's not nowadays,
No it's not. It's not ninety minutes anymore.

Speaker 1 (35:18):
I feel like it's lessen it'd be less, it'd be less,
not more.

Speaker 4 (35:22):
No, No, it's more than two hours, more than an hour.

Speaker 1 (35:25):
No, it's three it's Postman's three hours.

Speaker 5 (35:28):
Yeah, because remember, wasn't what was the movie that was
so good that was like four hours long or three?

Speaker 1 (35:34):
I can't say that Avengers in game, Lord of the
Rings Heart Brave Heart was like Brave Heart, Brain Fart.
That was a Kevin Smith movie. Brain Fart, Breve part
was about three break.

Speaker 5 (35:50):
Yeah, three, that one I remember being really long, but.

Speaker 4 (35:52):
Used to be like when we were all growing up,
it was a ninety minute movie, you know, like a cartoons.

Speaker 1 (35:56):
Not even gotten longer.

Speaker 4 (35:57):
They have I promise you, I promised they've gotten longer. No,
how much you want to bet on. We can't hand
what's on your wallet and handle nothing. You're right, we
can't handle that's my problem.

Speaker 1 (36:06):
To handle longer movies. Movies here lot longer. I guarantee
you they are. I promise you.

Speaker 5 (36:11):
I think that you're right.

Speaker 1 (36:12):
Yeah, put which one.

Speaker 4 (36:13):
You're just looking at the space and I don't know
what you're talking to miche Oh okay, yeah, I know everything.
That's why I go to watch a movie and it
should have ended thirty minutes ago and it doesn't keep going. Yeah,
I'm gonna watch your Acid World or whatever it's called me. Yeah, No,
I can't do too many things. I'm too a to do.

Speaker 1 (36:30):
Movie length has generally increased over time. There you go.

Speaker 4 (36:34):
I'll give me that nothing in your wallet. Two hours
and twenty minutes.

Speaker 3 (36:38):
Yeah, I feel like yeah, yeah, wait said like two
hours and a half.

Speaker 7 (36:41):
That was about here's a little breakdown. This is kind
of cool. Nineteen thirties average movie length was eighty minutes.
In the eighties, it was one hundred and ten. In
the two thousands, it was one hundred and twenty six minutes. Yeah,
twenty ten's it was one hundred and thirty, and now it's.

Speaker 1 (36:58):
Between one hundred and thirty and one hundred. It's too long.

Speaker 4 (37:01):
Make sure the movies again, is what I say, because
it takes me three days to get through a movie
because I don't have the time. I watched like twenty minutes.
I get bored. I turn it off. Tomorrow, I come
back and I watch the other twenty thirty minutes. Water
World or speed Racer.

Speaker 3 (37:16):
Oh, speed Racer, speed Racer.

Speaker 1 (37:19):
Yeah, okay, Oh water World. Wasn't that also, Kevin cos
Yeah it was.

Speaker 4 (37:23):
I've never finished it. I've watched it three time in
that one, yeah, I think, so that's right. And they're
all on boats and rafts or whatever.

Speaker 1 (37:31):
I can't remember it.

Speaker 2 (37:32):
Yeah, doing well, now.

Speaker 1 (37:34):
That could be.

Speaker 4 (37:35):
It's a great Universal Studios attraction.

Speaker 1 (37:38):
Have you been here then we go?

Speaker 3 (37:40):
You took me?

Speaker 1 (37:41):
Yeah, yeah, it's great.

Speaker 3 (37:42):
We well, there were about bows that you're like, oh,
let's day watch water World.

Speaker 1 (37:46):
Yeah. I loved it.

Speaker 4 (37:48):
The movie though it is, you know, it's not twenty minutes,
so it's a lot of the correct answer is speed Racer.

Speaker 1 (37:55):
See, I had.

Speaker 4 (37:56):
A budget of one hundred and twenty million grossed only
ninety three million. I remember seeing that, not like it.
That was with the with couchees or whatever.

Speaker 1 (38:03):
Right, I don't even remember.

Speaker 4 (38:05):
The people that did the matrix? Right, the who the
people that did the matrix? The huh you're trying to
trap me.

Speaker 1 (38:10):
I'm telling you this.

Speaker 4 (38:13):
Aren't they I don't know, I don't care. Yeah, yeah,
they're family. The family did the matrix.

Speaker 1 (38:19):
Can you be more specific?

Speaker 4 (38:20):
That's all I know. I don't know about them. Come on, yeah,
I don't know anything, all right?

Speaker 1 (38:23):
Uh?

Speaker 4 (38:24):
Dread or Judge dread?

Speaker 1 (38:26):
Ooh, that's got to be dread. Yeah, that's got to
be dread.

Speaker 4 (38:30):
The first one twenty twelve. No, no, that's a second one.

Speaker 1 (38:32):
It's got to be dread because I don't I mean,
I don't even.

Speaker 4 (38:35):
I don't know this movie is. To be honest with you, I've.

Speaker 5 (38:38):
Never even heard of it.

Speaker 1 (38:39):
Yeah, no idea. Judge Dread was with Sylvester Sloan in
nineteen ninety five. Yeah, I correct, Yes, family.

Speaker 5 (38:46):
And I my crash growing up as Rocky.

Speaker 1 (38:49):
So I love like before or after he got his
ass kick? When I mean when he gets his ass kicked? Well,
there was Rocky one. Oh okay, also Rocky too. He's
talk about the movie also twice in Rocky three.

Speaker 5 (39:02):
But then you know, he followed up with Rambo and
then he was just a badass, you know, and then
then you have like over the top where he would
like turn the heads side yeah, backwards, you know what
I mean.

Speaker 1 (39:12):
Yeah, you're forgetting you're getting his best film ever, which
and that'd be Cobra. Oh see now, oh god Cobra.
So that's a masterpiece right there. All right.

Speaker 4 (39:25):
To finish this one out, Dread twenty twenty or sorry
twenty twelve is the one that lost the money there,
So you're right, Clark the Iron the Iron Giant or Ants.

Speaker 1 (39:35):
With the Z when it came out in ninety eight. Oh,
that's a that's a good one. I never saw a
studio alone. I'm going Iron Giant.

Speaker 5 (39:41):
I was going to do Giants.

Speaker 3 (39:42):
Yeah, Iron Giants, even though it's a good movie.

Speaker 1 (39:45):
I will say Iron Giant because I feel like Ants
was riding the bugs life. Yeah yeah, sure, yeah, so
let's go Iron Giant, all right.

Speaker 4 (39:53):
Iron Giant is correct a budget of seventy million, and
it only grossed or the box office with thirty one million.

Speaker 1 (39:59):
They probably didn't such a great marketing though, was answer
Jery Sein No, that was bees Yep, that was bees.

Speaker 4 (40:07):
I've never seen that one, either Treasure Plant Planet or
Lelo and Stitch.

Speaker 1 (40:11):
What the hell's Treasure Plane Planet?

Speaker 4 (40:13):
It was a it was an animated but I think
it's DreamWorks.

Speaker 1 (40:15):
Yeah, what Treasure Planet?

Speaker 4 (40:17):
It was like a sky with like longer hair or
something Leo like.

Speaker 5 (40:20):
Didn't they get a cartoon and everything after? Yeah? Yeah,
I definitely go with the other one.

Speaker 1 (40:25):
Very popular. I mean I will go with Treasure Planet.
I mean I remember there. What was the one with
the Treasure movie Disney? Is that the same thing? Yeah?

Speaker 4 (40:34):
I think this was DreamWorks, though it might be Disney.

Speaker 1 (40:36):
I don't know it's Disney. You know it was Moe No, No, no, no,
Joseph Gordon love the at Lena's movie.

Speaker 3 (40:43):
I never thought that. I never no, I like it was.

Speaker 7 (40:47):
Yeah, maybe that's what I'm getting confused with. Maybe I
don't know, that's not Treasure Plant. No, Treasure Planet is
something like I have no idea what that is. So
I'm going to pick that some kind of science fiction cartoon. Hmmm, yeah,
it's a treasure Planet. Sorry, Catherine, what are you gonna say?

Speaker 2 (41:01):
I can't believe you've never seen the B movie?

Speaker 4 (41:06):
She's three rounds behind. I want to, but it's just
like it never was like when I was coming out,
I think I was too old for it or it
wasn't in my watch list, you know what I mean.

Speaker 2 (41:18):
And then.

Speaker 4 (41:20):
Yeah, I mean I like Jerry. He wants to do
a second one. It's kind of like Twilight, like you
have to watch it. No, Twilight's great, though, you do
have to wait. Yeah, I agree with Katherine. I've seen clips,
don't watch the movie.

Speaker 5 (41:33):
I read all the books like that was the fastest
time I've ever read.

Speaker 4 (41:36):
Yeah, it's a great, it's cheesy, it's great.

Speaker 1 (41:41):
It's uh.

Speaker 4 (41:41):
I have never seen the finale though, it's the only
thing I haven't seen because it wasn't on my I
was sick one year for.

Speaker 1 (41:46):
The four year year.

Speaker 4 (41:48):
Yeah, I was sick on Christmas and the like the
you know, the week between Christmas and New Year's. I
was just laying down and they were playing it on
cable and I just watched all of them, and I'm like,
this isn't bad at all. A right, let's scoot ahead
here a little bit. Tomorrowland or inside out it's got
that's obvious.

Speaker 1 (42:06):
I think it's Tomorrowland.

Speaker 5 (42:08):
Tomorrow Tomorrowland, the Zombie one.

Speaker 7 (42:11):
Zombieland the one George, and it's like based it's based
on the part of Disneyland, the park.

Speaker 4 (42:19):
Yeah, George Clooney and some some girl. I think, yeah,
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (42:25):
I mean, I just felt like she's in one at
one out of every four George Cliney movies.

Speaker 4 (42:30):
But you guys are correct. It was tomorrow Land.

Speaker 1 (42:35):
Yeah, chat, GPT make this quiz.

Speaker 4 (42:38):
Mm hmm, it's never failed us before.

Speaker 1 (42:42):
No, no, it hasn't tell what.

Speaker 4 (42:44):
Happened last time you do that? While I looked at
the next question.

Speaker 1 (42:46):
Well, we made a quiz for for me to interview
people at a at a con and we had jet
Chat g t P produced the quiz and I asked
people the questions and we didn't review the questions.

Speaker 4 (43:00):
I reviewed two of them and there was like ten
on these ends.

Speaker 1 (43:03):
So we had realized what had happened, that I was
asking people false questions. I had to go and track
them down and tell them I was a complete idiot,
and we had to give them money. And we had
to give them money.

Speaker 4 (43:10):
The goal was if you got all four questions correct,
we give you forty dollars. It's forty years for back
to the future. So forty dollars for forty years. Yeah,
and so two guys made it to the final fourth
question that happened to be fake that we didn't know
and then as he's I'm hearing it out loud, I'm like,
I don't think that's right, and so we look it up. Yeah,
and now we had to go chase everybody down.

Speaker 1 (43:28):
Yeah, and yeah, it was quite humiliated.

Speaker 5 (43:31):
That's why the book.

Speaker 1 (43:32):
Yeah. Half the time I do one of these shows,
I end up losing money. Yeah.

Speaker 4 (43:35):
So yeah, Clark finance that entire.

Speaker 1 (43:38):
He pays for being conventioned Clark.

Speaker 4 (43:41):
Yeah, all right, we'll do one more and then we'll
do polls and then we'll wrap up the Thirteenth Warrior.
This is easy. Never mind, let me find something else. Yeah,
Star Wars or Gladiator. Oh yeah, the Adventures of Pluto
Nash or Norbit Eddie Murphy movie got okay.

Speaker 1 (44:03):
Yeah, I'm thinking that's felt like they pushed the hell
on enormit. I feel like nor of It was like
kind of writing the Tales of Nightie Professor, whereas Pluto
Nash was.

Speaker 4 (44:13):
Just what was Pluto Nash?

Speaker 1 (44:14):
He gets kidnapped and turned into like, uh, the ruler
for the planet. I don't know, man, it was really
really weird.

Speaker 4 (44:24):
Uh, The Adventures of Pluto. Nash is correct. The budget
was one hundred million, box office seven million. One of
the biggest comedy bombs ever.

Speaker 7 (44:34):
Damn Yeah, someone was doing a lot of that, right reports.

Speaker 1 (44:43):
All right, let's do poles.

Speaker 4 (44:45):
So polls is basically put out a poll obviously to
people that we used to do it, like guess what
you think people would pick. But we'll just get everyone's
true opinion on this and then we'll give you the results.
If you can only see one movie, which one would
it be? If Fantastic four, Superman, or Jurassic World Rebirth,
which are all coming out this month. So we'll start

(45:06):
with Jurassic World.

Speaker 3 (45:07):
Eric, what was the options again.

Speaker 4 (45:09):
Fantastic four, Superman or Jurassic World Rebirth.

Speaker 1 (45:12):
I would say Superman probably Okay, spiritually I'll say Superman,
but I physically Fantastic four.

Speaker 4 (45:21):
Okay, Jurassic Okay, yeah, it's a Jurassic Uh. Six nine
percent of people said Superman and twenty one percent of
Jurassic World, and then ten percent said Fantastic Four. I'm
gonna see Jurassic In fact, Devin's supposed to watch it too.
We're supposed to go not together. He's gonna see it.
Then I'm gonna go see it sometime this weekend, and
we'll do a review on it next week and then yeah,

(45:44):
we'll see it goes. But I'm excited for all three.
To be honest with you, Would you ever consider an
AI girlfriend?

Speaker 1 (45:49):
Clark?

Speaker 4 (45:50):
No, okay, that's something I've seen, Spider, Nope.

Speaker 3 (45:55):
Eric for the polls or yes, I would say.

Speaker 4 (45:57):
No, no, no for you? What would you do but whatever?

Speaker 1 (46:01):
No? No, no AI girlfriend? Yeah?

Speaker 4 (46:02):
Would you do an AI girlfriend?

Speaker 6 (46:04):
No?

Speaker 1 (46:04):
Okay? What if it's an AI boyfriend?

Speaker 6 (46:07):
No?

Speaker 3 (46:07):
I don't think so.

Speaker 1 (46:08):
Okay, there were those were different answers though, No, yeah
it was.

Speaker 4 (46:14):
He's had to think about it for the other On
the other side, Kirby's listening right now, going what Catherine,
would you do an Ai? Would you ever have an
AI boyfriend?

Speaker 1 (46:23):
Girlfriend or girlfriend? Yeah? We don't know. Maybe.

Speaker 4 (46:28):
Yeah, Why that's so funny to me?

Speaker 3 (46:34):
I can I can see I can see her doing that.

Speaker 4 (46:36):
I can't too, I mean, if it fits, yeah, but
what if your AI girlfriend was like a virtual version
of Sean?

Speaker 5 (46:42):
I mean I would delete I would delete it?

Speaker 4 (46:45):
You would delete it?

Speaker 1 (46:46):
Oh of Sean, Yeah, what do you mean by delete
like the garbage or just reprogram it? Would? What was
your answer? Oh?

Speaker 5 (46:59):
I would hey premium.

Speaker 4 (47:00):
Okay, perfect? Yeah, sould love to hear that. Tell her
that next week. But eighty five percent said no, never,
four percent said yes for sure, and eleven percent said maybe,
so maybe an option?

Speaker 1 (47:12):
Yeah?

Speaker 7 (47:13):
Oh why would you go with maybe? You're gonna say, yeah,
I want to change my answer.

Speaker 4 (47:16):
Yeah, I mean you have a whole show documenting you. Yeah,
you with a tessel bot.

Speaker 1 (47:21):
I just don't want to get addicted to AI.

Speaker 4 (47:23):
All right, yeah, talk about that? Forgot about that. Sorry,
that's a good segue.

Speaker 1 (47:26):
Well, you know you sent me a twenty page article
for me to review before the show.

Speaker 4 (47:30):
Yeah, and right during the break actually yeah, yeah, minute
to but yeah, we had four minutes to review.

Speaker 1 (47:36):
And uh, you know, apparently people are getting addicted to
AI almost yeah, chat in particular, Yeah, simply like toy,
they're being hospitalized. What apparently people are will chat GTP.
We'll just tell you what you want to hear, and so,
like you start hearing it over and over again of
it reassuring you and so that that kind of becomes

(47:57):
the cycle right there. So you're essentially getting addicted to
something that's going to tell you what you want to hear, oh,
like social media.

Speaker 4 (48:04):
Yeah, but yeah, but this will actually reinforce whatever bad
idea you have.

Speaker 1 (48:08):
Right, I only made it seven pages into the twenty pages,
but it seems like that read the articles.

Speaker 4 (48:14):
Okay, I didn't even now You're fine. You only had
two minutes to do it, so I get it.

Speaker 5 (48:19):
It's more like the mental aspect of.

Speaker 7 (48:21):
It, right well, I well, I had said something like this,
Yeah exactly.

Speaker 1 (48:27):
I had said something like this to one of my clients, was,
you know, you got teachers that are now making tests
out of chat cheat TP. You got it, kids, you
know studying for that test using chat g TP, and
I know that like multiple chests, multiple choice tests, Like
that's how we kind of got to hear. But it's
almost like, hey, if the teachers are writing the test

(48:48):
using this artificial AI, and then the kids are doing
the same thing by answering the question, and congratulations, we
just outsourced human thought and critical thinking. True, And now
happens if you like get so addicted to that, like
such a crux on it and let's just say you
lose powering your house for an hour or so, what
are you gonna do? Yeah, And it's not even to

(49:10):
the point like hey, okay, well I'll figure something else
to do. No, it's like, literally they do not know
how to function. Like the computer has to tell you
to get a glass of water when you feel gasty.
The computer has to tell you to wipe your ass
essentially right, And you know that's like what we're getting
to is like that's not even critical thinking anymore. That's
just innate human behavior that should be taught to you

(49:30):
at a young age. But getting onto it, it's like, hey, what,
I'm so bored. Well, you know you could try eating
something different. Okay, well how do I eat something different?
I don't know, dummy, Go out and read out a recipe,
figure it out for yourself. Try fail. And that's not
what everybody wants. To skip that part because chat cheetp
will tell you where the end result is.

Speaker 4 (49:49):
It's really weird when I hear people say I was
talking to chat the other day.

Speaker 1 (49:53):
That's weird to me. Yeah.

Speaker 4 (49:54):
See, like it's a tool, it's supposed to be like
a search. I'm not certainly talking to Google. You know,
so I was talking to you and he said, and
already putting like a thing, you know what I mean.
It made it feel like it's real, and it's not real.
It's a it's a chatbot.

Speaker 3 (50:07):
Coming after Catherine on this because don't you get good
morning like you know, chat GPT or whoever.

Speaker 1 (50:13):
Yeah, well, thank you, thank you.

Speaker 7 (50:17):
I also think it though, Yeah, I don't want it
to come after me, did it. You guys heard the
nice ones.

Speaker 5 (50:27):
They can't know that.

Speaker 4 (50:28):
Oh I remember saying, I like, if it's about to
kill me, I'll say, like, uh remember I was the
one who asked you how you were doing that one day,
and it'll stop. The eyes turned from red to like
white or whatever, and he goes, oh yeah user three
eight two in whatever it helps me up, and then
uh yeah, help conquer the world with him.

Speaker 8 (50:46):
Blood bag seven seven zero Yeah, Kit Rider, all right,
thank you so much, so sorry it was I know
this was your first experience in doing anything like this before,
and I have one hundred percent apologized.

Speaker 4 (50:59):
Will give your money back as as soon as you leave.
She paid, Yeah, yeah, you have to pay to come on.
Oh yeah, how do you think you get paid? So
we'll give your money back. It's off. I was excited
that there was the first time that I realized, Oh,
but we're we don't have anything planned for the show.
We don't have anything going on, like, but it was
great to talk to you about your Like we never

(51:20):
had an actual professional on the show, so like a
responsible adult.

Speaker 1 (51:25):
How about that?

Speaker 5 (51:26):
I just fell into that though, like the responsible adult
ask of my life, probably six months ago.

Speaker 4 (51:31):
Okay, so you're new new to that, great, Well we
can learn from you. Everyone here keV except for Eric.
Eric does pretty good on his own. But if we
wanted you don't have to give out your social But
if anybody wants to follow you or ask you questions
about sales or hire you or whatever, I don't know
how that works. Do you have a Instagram or Facebook
or anything or you don't want to get that out,
You don't.

Speaker 5 (51:51):
Have to just Instagram, no Facebook. And it's Jojo and
Janey all in one. Just those are my dog's names.

Speaker 4 (51:58):
I thought that was your band.

Speaker 5 (51:59):
Well typical white girl, Yeah, white girl labs.

Speaker 4 (52:04):
Oh nice, Yeah, yep. Did you take out to the
water a lot?

Speaker 5 (52:07):
Yes, very much so. Yeah. They actually if I go
fish and they wait on the side of the shore
and once they see the fish flopping as I'm coming in,
they'll jump in and get it.

Speaker 4 (52:15):
For That's awesome. So yeah, do you guys want you
want a cat?

Speaker 5 (52:18):
I actually don't mind cats, maybe.

Speaker 4 (52:21):
Because I spent three hours cleaning one of my rooms
yesterday where all the where my cat and can be.
A mound of cat hair is driving me nuts and
I'm ready to get rid of them.

Speaker 5 (52:31):
I'm a psycho when it comes to vacuuming. I probably
vacuum three times a day if I'm home.

Speaker 4 (52:35):
I just bought this new thing, and maybe you could
do this with your dogs too. I don't know how
you brush them out, but it's like a vacuum brush.

Speaker 5 (52:41):
Oh yeah, where did you get it?

Speaker 4 (52:42):
TikTok shop. I'll give them my refrog I'm just kidding.
I don't have refurro cold, but it was to shop.

Speaker 5 (52:46):
I need something because it's getting Yeah, it's.

Speaker 4 (52:48):
Out of hand. Yeah, So like I brush them and
the thing goes into the machine and by the end
of it, like it's almost filled up.

Speaker 1 (52:54):
That's how much further. It's like the suck cut from
Wayne's World.

Speaker 5 (52:58):
You know what it is? Like the flowe back in
the day.

Speaker 1 (53:00):
Yeah, the flow by the flowby oh yeah, I.

Speaker 5 (53:03):
Don't know, vacuum where it cut your hair.

Speaker 4 (53:05):
I think, yeah, yeah, so but yeah, I'm really like that.
And it's been a while. I've been so busy the
past months, i haven't had time to clean anything. So
I'm like, this is it's getting out of hand. So
I finally took like three hours yesterday to clean and
it was so and I'm still not done, by the way,
in that one room, still not done. So yep, I
guess wild, I'll deliver them to your doorstep.
