Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
You're about to enter the world of Michael Zavalla. Now's
your change to turn back? Michael those red bull do
uh or something like this. I can't hear you. I'm

(00:21):
just a baying at what you're thinking about. This is
m Z now.

Speaker 2 (00:51):
So yeah, I'm trying to think of things that I
could use a night rider car for to generate income
for the night rider car. Did you get it fixed?

Speaker 3 (01:01):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (01:02):
Did you want men?

Speaker 3 (01:04):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (01:04):
Yeah, it runs okay, I mean it's not it is
fully functional.

Speaker 1 (01:09):
Is there's still a pink dick on the bottom.

Speaker 2 (01:12):
Gosh. And I want to shoot a video and then
that we have these new cameras, I want to shoot
a video of me taking it to a mechanic shop
and have it because I haven't seen it. I don't
know what it looks to have like cranked up and
like yeah you see it and they do some voiceover
work on it or whatever and just make like little
because people love it, you know, the car. But I
mean I can drive it. I haven't drew it in
like a month because I'm the battery is dead, I
know it. I'm gonna have to put it up tomorrow.

(01:33):
I'm gonna be home. I think most of the day,
so I'm gonna go and put it on a charger.
I have to go to UPS, so I might take
it to UPS. The problem is it's got like a
little hesitation issue sometimes every now intermittently, so when you're
backing out of a parking lot.

Speaker 1 (01:46):
It might die. Oh so it's not running.

Speaker 2 (01:50):
No, it's running. I could drive it all over town.
That's every ever, once every once in a while, and
it's a I know what it is. They just can't
find the part for it, the guys that I took
it to, and so they try to fix it, and
they said it might come back, and it's starting to
kind of come back a little bit. It's an airflow issue,
nothing serious, but yeah, it's it does a good job.

Speaker 1 (02:08):
You're just gonna have to get a rebuilt engine.

Speaker 2 (02:10):
Uh so the engine is great.

Speaker 4 (02:13):
The internet on what I'm hearing is a kit may
be sounding more like his original voice.

Speaker 2 (02:18):
Yeaheah, it's ounds like William Daniels today, which, by the way,
Clark and I found out that William Daniels will be
at the if he's uh, you know, god willing still alive. Well,
if that's the problem in October or something, at the
Fan Days or whatever an Irving convention center. So I thought,
maybe we should tow the night Rider car out, Yes,
do it and just drive up there, or get a

(02:39):
piece of the night Rider car and have William Daniels
sign it. It's done well that we should have that too,
take the whole carside, the whole car. I don't think
he's have a heat stroke going outside. Well I'm gonna
I think what I might do is I might take
the night Rider module, like the the actual thing that
runs kit that's underneath the dash, and pull that and
have him sign it, because I want him to sign something.

Speaker 1 (02:59):
On the car, something on the interior.

Speaker 2 (03:01):
Yeah, well see the interior is going to be eventually
redone at some point.

Speaker 1 (03:04):
Yeah, but he want them to sign it on the
outside and it.

Speaker 2 (03:07):
No, no, no, nothing right right right, yeah, nothing on
like the panels or whatever, but like something that module.
I don't see myself getting a new module.

Speaker 4 (03:14):
Get his signature on the headlights so whenever you turn
the lights on, you can broadcast it onto a wall.

Speaker 2 (03:18):
Or yeah, there you go. But I was so we're
going to talk about the Fan Days or whatever it's called.
What's it called fan Expo? That we went to Clark
and I now that now the videos are out, you
can see everything we did there. We One thing I
fort to mention a couple of weeks ago was our
buddy Sean was there with his Johnny five. How did
you think of the Johnny five was I thought it

(03:38):
was incredible.

Speaker 1 (03:39):
I thought it was fantastic. Johnny five interview was pretty solid.

Speaker 2 (03:42):
Yeah, he was so big. You could tell this guy
was stressed out. You get so many people, and so
he texted me later that night he goes, so sorry,
I didn't get a chance to talk to you guys
much because I was just so he had a lot
of things going on. But I was telling him, I'm like,
why don't we buy a boot? For years we've talked
about buying a boot at a comic con and but
we just didn't know what we're gonna do. We can't
just be there all the time just you know what

(04:02):
we don't We're not selling anything we don't have. So
I thought, because he was there the entire weekend with
Johnny five, and it was just him and his family
trying to help out, like you know, and that's a lot.
So I thought, well, what if we bought a booth
or two booth, something long enough. It's gonna be like
twenty five hundred dollars, crazy amount of money. Twenty five
hundred dollars for like two booths. For the weekend, we

(04:22):
get the night Rider. The reason why we need two
is we can fit the night Writer car. So being
the night Rider car, people can take pictures. Maybe we
sell twenty five dollars or twenty bucks, you know, hop
for pictures with a night Rider car, just the front
because of the you know inside obviously, but that will
be the staple of the booth. And then every day

(04:43):
for a certain amount of hours we'll have one of
our celebrity friends stop buy so we'll have like Chris
Sapphire from the Circle for you know, five to whatever.
I don't know what the times are, but you know,
for four or five hours taking pictures of people, signing autographs,
that kind of thing, and then we get a cut
of that to pay for the booth. Eric Starr from
Judge Steve Harvey, he's there from this time of this time.

(05:05):
Johnny five comes in from you know, maybe all day
Saturday to take pictures of people because that was the
only thing he could He he couldn't because he had
a community booth, he couldn't sell any merchandise, so he
didn't he couldn't bring any shirts or anything like that.
So if we did a booth and he just showed
up for a day for X amount of hours, then
he could sell whatever he wants. And maybe we just

(05:26):
take a cut of the pictures and we have a
photographer there or whatever. I don't know how we're gonna
figure it out, but then on Sunday we can do
a live show from there, and maybe we can do
an interview with somebody that's already you know, at the
convention or something.

Speaker 1 (05:36):
Like it, so could stop by.

Speaker 2 (05:40):
I don't well, first off, I'm gonna bleep that. I'm
gonna bleep that because he just revealed who's the one
who ghosted us? Somebody from Back to the Future ghosted us.
I did this whole thing about how I was irritated,
how mad I was not just one right, three times
wasted my time this person I got a text saying

(06:01):
they had medical issues, high blood pressure or something like that.
We're in the in and out of the hospital, but
we're still going to go in and fly to Dallas
to meet fans. I saw this person on Thursday, no
problem whatsoever, talking like this, you know, sign it and
down right like this, no problem? Uh, joking for hours, right,

(06:27):
every time I walk by, I'm like this, this person
seemed pretty good to me. You couldn't get on a
fifteen minute zoom call from your house. So then I'm
talking about I'm very upset, right, and I'm the more
I see this person, the more I'm making more. I'm
just it just making me boil. At one point, this
person is four inches from me, walks right past me,
and I said, Clark, hold me back, because otherwise I'm

(06:49):
gonna trip this person, Like do you know who I am?

Speaker 5 (06:52):
You?

Speaker 3 (06:53):
You?

Speaker 2 (06:53):
Uh? Do you spill all that on the floor? Was
there anything in there?

Speaker 3 (06:57):
There was a little bit of water?

Speaker 2 (06:59):
Okay?

Speaker 6 (07:00):
Was it? Was it? Water?

Speaker 2 (07:01):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (07:01):
Be all right? Half a you sure? Half that cotch?
Smells like coffee anyway, right?

Speaker 2 (07:05):
I spelled some coffee there the other day.

Speaker 1 (07:07):
What an asshole?

Speaker 2 (07:08):
Yeah, I didn't even clean it up. We're gonna hire
a new person to clean it up, I think. Uh,
anyway here to dake your coffee and the yeah, just
put it away.

Speaker 7 (07:18):
But but okay, so I have an idea and sorry
to put all this on the show, but like you
bring the car, right, Oh, I want to do a show.
Why don't we just like kind of do a show
throughout the whole time that were there? I thought about that,
you know how like at the fair they have those
like car shows yep, and then that person there talking,
hey man, how are you you want to come see
the new car? You have these features whatever, and.

Speaker 2 (07:39):
Then we just put it all together. We'll do a
part one part two.

Speaker 1 (07:42):
Really like that.

Speaker 4 (07:42):
I think something like more behind the scenes for the
full time, an actual like live show on Sunday.

Speaker 2 (07:49):
I don't know too much with the TV's in here.
Answer possessed weather change anytime it starts getting hot. The
cables in the ceiling, oh start, it'll even out here
in a couple of weeks. But actually we just need
to replace him. We had some five er op the
cables in there.

Speaker 7 (08:05):
But yeah, yeah, because then you can interview the people
that after they take photos of the car, and hey,
you know, what does it mean to you?

Speaker 2 (08:11):
Like, how does it make you feel? Whatever the questions are. Yeah,
I think if we're going to spend the money, I
just the goal is to try to read get content.
But also and then also let people know we have
the car, so people can hire it or rent it
out or whatever, or they can travel around the country
following us around, right, displaying it not you can do that.
But and then yeah, and then down you know convention.

(08:33):
Clark is already going to be there probably so we
can have him. You come to our booth and maybe
we have stuff we're giving away. You know, we'll have
a celebrity there every now and then we'll see who
we can get out there. Maybe some of our TikTok
friends can come out. And then all we ask is
like twenty percent to help pay for the booth. And
then once we pay for the booth, I don't care.
Whatever we make for the night write a car is
profit and it goes to the night Rider car, right exactly. Yeah,

(08:55):
we studied about twenty five.

Speaker 1 (08:58):
This is going to be a really round about way
to get enough money to get oil change for it.

Speaker 2 (09:03):
No, no, no, I mean, first off, my insurance on
the car is twenty six dollars a month, so it's
not that big deal. You know, Like my my expense
for the car maintaining it as is is not a
big deal.

Speaker 1 (09:13):
I want you to, but I want to. I want
to redo the inside. That should be a bit where
you call it a new insurance company and you need
to be like, I don't think I'm being insured for
the proper car, and you start going into all the options.

Speaker 2 (09:24):
Oh, I already already did all that kind of sort
of with the first time. I did it because I
was trying to get the maximum value on the car
and I we went back and forth. So my renewal
is coming up because I already had the car for
almost a year. Now, can you believe it?

Speaker 1 (09:38):
Uh?

Speaker 2 (09:38):
And I'm going to I'm going with it, probably another
insurance company, and so I'm going to see if they
can get if they give me a better deal more
than less than three Yeah. No, No, it's not about
what I'm paying. It's it's the maximum. So it's it's
all the value. Yeah, you can get state of value. Yeah,
so I think it's worth X amount my insurance right now, things,

(10:01):
which I'm fine with because it would cover it if
something happened. It's basically an investment, right it. But I
mean at this point, every year the car gets older,
the more value it's worth, you know, the more it's
worth so I think that it should be worth more
every month and or every year. And if you can't
give me that, then I'll go somewhere else. Right, I
know my worth and I know the worth of the car.
I'm excited about that though. I think that could be
a cool thing.

Speaker 3 (10:21):
Right.

Speaker 1 (10:21):
Yeah, it's a good idea.

Speaker 2 (10:23):
And that way people like Sean they don't have to
worry about getting a booth and being up there all
the time. And you know, we can do all that.
What was on the schedule and we haven't even gotten
to anything that was on the schedule. I mean, it's
about on part Oh, that's what we're gonna talk about.
So we're already on the XPO. Might as well finish
that up, so we'll talk about the forty by was
it forty dollars for forty years of Back to the Future?

(10:44):
So the bit was By the way, if you haven't
seen the video, go watch it. It's on YouTube. Clark
did a great job with that as normal, and also
the episode, the first episode of Love is Electric, our
new MZ Ultramax Plus original series is out right now.
Episode two comes out this Friday, and then episode three's
in the works. And then we got to shoot a

(11:04):
bunch more. But yeah. So the idea was, we're gonna
bring forty dollars to the convention if people can answer
these four questions correctly. It's all or nothing. You answer
four quotes and they get progressively harder about Back to
the Future, you get forty dollars. And the last question
was supposed to be you know something that really only
a true fan would know, somebody who's watched this movie

(11:25):
one thousand times.

Speaker 7 (11:26):
Ford.

Speaker 2 (11:26):
Now, so I had a question because I had recently
watched the movie, and I had a question in my mind,
but then I forgot it because it's you know, it
was that difficult. I don't remember what it was. I
couldn't remember the answer, and I didn't want to go
back and rewatch the movie again. I didn't have enough time.
So I went to chat GBT and I said, hey,
come up with ten really hard questions for Back to
the Future. So it did, and we put all of

(11:46):
those in a note for Clark, and a couple of
these I checked. I did go and check the verify
that it was right. Some of them I already knew.
I'm like, yeah, of course that's correct, that's correct. This
I don't know, let me go check. So there's one
question there on Clark's list, and he was Clark had
what do you call it, Evan gard? You have free opportunity,
free reign, what do you call it something? There's a

(12:09):
word autonomy, something like that. But Clark could pick any
question he wanted from this list, So it seems stale right.
He could go pick an easy question, and he knew
that he would get progressively harder and all that. So
we had a couple of really hard questions on there,
and one of them I did not check. So he
asked that happened to be the question he asked two
different people, and it was happened to be the fourth question,

(12:30):
the hardest question. They both got it wrong. And the
more he keeps I'm hearing it out loud, I'm like,
I don't know that this question is correct. And when
the question was what was the name of the what
was it?

Speaker 1 (12:39):
What was the name of the company on Doc Brown's
mind reading helmet.

Speaker 2 (12:45):
And so I'm thinking about it and I'm like, And
the reason why it was so fresh in my mind
was because the year before we went to fan Expo,
there was a guy who had made an homemade mind
reading hat with his cosplay outfit, and I don't remember
seeing any writing on it except for blackel J Fox
and Chris Filloyd.

Speaker 1 (13:01):
Yeah, you know it's a homemade costume though you never.

Speaker 2 (13:05):
But this guy, he was so detailed it's a replica.
He was so detailed, even like the shirt he made.
He took several like he explained how he did his
whole costume. It so like if anybody knew if there
was something on that that's costume, it would be this guy.
So I started thinking about it, and I look up
and I had just seen the movie too, and I'm like,

(13:25):
I don't remember seeing any writing on the helmet. So
I look it up as rather convention because I'm thinking,
maybe it's on the back, the side somewhere. Maybe it's
on you know, one there. We could not verify that
this was correct at all. Doesn't mean it was wrong.
Maybe there, maybe it is. We just couldn't verify all
the pictures we looked up, couldn't find it. So now
Clark was like, what do we do because we were

(13:45):
looking for two or three more people to interview, And
I go, well, Clark, that's the video now, So now
you have to go find these people and tell them
that you can get refund. Yeah, we had. We only
brought forty dollars. So the idea was we were gonna
split twenty and twenty. So he goes to f I's
one of the guys. He gives him twenty and then
we could not find this kid, who, by the way,
was in school at SMU or something now North Texas,

(14:07):
North Texas for he wants to be a film director. Yeah,
and now since we gave him this terrible like he
could have he could have made forty dollars, could have
changed his life.

Speaker 1 (14:15):
I think we actually broke him into the industry pretty well,
though maybe I don't know. I think he's I think
he's gonna get used to like what it's like.

Speaker 7 (14:22):
Or you could have changed his trajectory like where he goes.
I don't know, do you think now I don't know
what I'm talking about because of this guy.

Speaker 2 (14:28):
I've seen this movie a thousand times and I couldn't
get this question correct. Now he's gonna be he drops
out YEP, Life of Drugs.

Speaker 1 (14:33):
And he's down under the bridge right by him.

Speaker 2 (14:36):
Yeah, he was the guy that walked by. Actually, when
we're getting Catherine in the other door. Was that any guy. No,
he's gonna pop down next to Clark's apartment and downtown
and be asking him for money. Yeah, oh yeah. So
if you see behind me here mm hmmm uh, there's
a vest replica that we got from Universal Studios. Yes,
And the reason why I had Michael sign that was

(14:58):
because on the very bottom of this jack I think
I talked about it on the show, there's a mark
that must have been done when we were checking out
at Universal Studios, like somebody accidentally marked it at the
very bottom with like a black marker. Because once I
got it, it went in the bag, I flew home, took
it out, put in the closet right away. I don't
even have a marker like that at my house, so
it wasn't me. So somebody at checkout marked it and

(15:21):
I didn't realize it right, So I'm like, well, what
am I going to do with this? Maybe we'll go
back and I'll get another one if they have it,
And then I thought, oh, I'll just get Michael J.
Fox to sign it because I don't Michael's note. I
kind of broke my own rule, but my rule is
we have pictures and things of people that have been
on the show. But it's Michael J.

Speaker 1 (15:37):
Fox.

Speaker 2 (15:38):
He's a legend, right and.

Speaker 1 (15:39):
I you know, I don't ever know how much time
you get.

Speaker 2 (15:42):
Hit exactly, so I better go do it, and I'm
going to put it up here in the studio. So
I decided to have him sign it. I was hoping
he would sign it there at the bottom, but he
signed it at the top. But now when I get
this authenticated, I can say, well, of course Michael J.
Fox signed it because look the signas at the top
and the marks on the bottom.

Speaker 1 (16:00):
Right, you get it, We get it.

Speaker 3 (16:02):
So now you have to get the signature.

Speaker 5 (16:04):
I know.

Speaker 3 (16:05):
And there's like a white.

Speaker 2 (16:06):
Hair, yeah, Christopher Lloyd now because he didn't wear that,
and I've already got Chris Lloyd. He's in the hallway.
So this is just Michael Jay Fox had him sign that,
had him signed that eight by ten. How much do
you think that cost me? Four seven oh worth? It
probably goes to the Michael J. Fox Foundation, and they
probably jacked the prices up because you know, they don't

(16:27):
want him sign them for everybody. Got to be difficult.
He's got Parkinson's So I was like this is a
one time deal. I just I feel okay doing this. Unfortunately,
they only took cash. So I went the first day
on Thursday with Danielle to get I needed a separate
I need somebody to help me with camera and shooting

(16:48):
some stuff. So I thought she was going to be
there anyway. She wasn't, so I said, well, take Clark's
pass and we'll go out there and we'll shoot some
b roll for Clark before we shot on Sunday. And
I was planning get Michael J. Fox's autograph that day.
So I go to the ticket count or to buy
the autograph. The guy goes or the lady goes, oh,
it's all sold out for today. We only have tomorrow
at four and it's cash only. I don't carry cash.

(17:10):
I don't have a debit card. So I go to
the ATM.

Speaker 1 (17:14):
And how do I make my points on this?

Speaker 2 (17:16):
Yeah, exactly. So I go to the ATM and I'm
trying to figure out, like I have a I have
a Venmo debit card, I have a cash App credit card,
I have a PayPal credit you know all these little
not real bank credit cards, right, but they all have
a limits. I'm sure they all have limits and I can't.
I don't have any money in any of these things,
so I have to bring it in for my bank account.
So nobody does it like instantly. You have to wait

(17:37):
three to five days. So I'm trying every option. I
run into Detective Gomez. He's right there. You just have
to be standing right.

Speaker 1 (17:44):
There shout out cheaters.

Speaker 2 (17:45):
And I've never, by the way, I've never I've worked
to this guy for years, never met him and like
face to face, never had a conversation fail, you never
had nope. So you know, we were talking and I'm like, yeah,
I'm trying. Meanwhile, all these people having the conversations. I'm
just trying to get this seven hundred dollars so I
can go pay for it because they only have limited
amount of tickets. I'm exhausting all my options here. I'm
on the phone with a bank trying to see if
I can I had just opened up a new studio account,

(18:07):
so I'm trying to see if I can get a
virtual debit card to me right away so I can
get seven hundred dollars out. Even Gomez is like, hey,
do you need me to get you some money? And
I'm like, well, it's like seven hundred dollars. Oh in mind. Yeah,
so uh then Daniella has to be there, and I go, hey,
I know she works at a bank, so it just
probably does okay. And I go, hey, you have seven

(18:28):
hundred dollars and eighteen. I'm like, and I'll sell you
right away. But I just have seven hundred DOLLSHO was yeah,
I see, because I'll do it right now. And I
said thanks, and now I have a sugar Mama Cake
went over to the table, bought the tickets, came back
the next day just to get Michael J. Fox's autograph.
And I thought you would be able to at least
say hey or whatever. Nope, And they have this guy
like it was. It was like a factory. You walk in.

(18:49):
First off, he's hidden right behind these curtains. You walk in,
and they've got two guys next to him. One guy's
giving them markers, the other guy is placing the items
in front of them. They have cones in front of
the table, so you can't even be right there. Hey,
Michael'll appreciate your work. You can't do any of that.
Put your stuff on the table. He signed, and do.
This guy's going at it one hundred miles, no hour.

(19:10):
He's just signing stuff. They're just throw stuff front of him.
They give him a new marker. He's signing, going, sign
and going. And we were in and out and you
know when when the line started to move, we were
out in thirty seconds versus Paul Rubens. And we'll get
to that later on the show because I want to
talk about the documentary. But yeah, it was so he
didn't get to talk to him, but at least I
got his I mean I saw him. I was two

(19:31):
feet from him, so that was kind of cool.

Speaker 4 (19:32):
And the autograph is very different. But if you look
at like one of his old ones and you look
at this one, you can tell it's his.

Speaker 2 (19:39):
Yeah, yeah, I don't know how many. It's amazing that
this guy Parkinson's had it for so many years, willingly
decided to get on a plane, come to Dallas meet fans,
sign hunt quotations. Well, I think if you had, like
if you bought like his photos or whatever, maybe you
could said something to him. But I'm not doing all that.

(19:59):
But you know, he came, he's signing. Just signing autographs
has to be tiring. And then I went to go
watch the panel where they're all like it was it
was him, Christopher Lloyd. And who's the guy who played Biff?
What's his name?

Speaker 1 (20:13):
I don't remember. I mean, I don't know he's He's God.
I can't remember his name. It's the only thing I
knew him from.

Speaker 2 (20:22):
And it doesn't matter anyway. He's the only one that
you could hear. We're in an auditorium. He's the only
one that could hear. Thomas Wilson. Yeah, Tom, they're talking.
You got Chris Fhilloyd, who's you know, eighty years old?
And also if you didn't know, Chris Fhlloyd is also
very quiet, sauce spoken, shy. So I remember meeting him
years and years ago and I said, thank you, mister,
before he was even on our show, and I said, uh,

(20:43):
you know, I'm a big fan. Barely hear what he say.
So he talks like that in these panels. So I'm
sitting way in the back, you can't hear anybody. So
they asked Michael question. Michael can't hold the mic, so
instead he gave him a mic stand. They put the
mic on the table and it's just laying sideways, and
so Michael's like, yeah, like that, and then and then

(21:04):
they asked him a question. You can't hear what he's saying.
And then they well, what about you, Chris?

Speaker 3 (21:08):
What it was? It?

Speaker 2 (21:09):
Well, so you can't you can't hear anything it was.
It was awful, you know, but if you moved up
to the front you could hear everything pretty well. But
is there anything I'm missing from that?

Speaker 3 (21:20):
Now?

Speaker 2 (21:20):
I think I think that was pretty much it. It
was a great I really thought it was cool. It
was a cool day. Uh, probably the most time I
spent at fan Expo. But it was well worth it.
We had a lot of work done, got a lot
of cool stuff done, spent a lot of money.

Speaker 3 (21:34):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (21:34):
But again, it's Michael J. Fox and now we have
this permanent Michael J. Fox display here with his vest
and uh.

Speaker 4 (21:40):
It much better than the sound panels. Yeah there, it
looks good.

Speaker 2 (21:45):
Yeah.

Speaker 7 (21:45):
I was gonna ask, like, oh, what did he say
when he when he saw the vests and everything, But
he said that.

Speaker 2 (21:51):
He was didn't even look yeah him or anything. I
was worried. My uh back to the future three Martin
mcful lie shirt too. Everyone was complimenting on it on
when I was on line. And by the way, I
think you know what, one of the reasons why these
autograph prices are so high is because of aut autograph flippers.
And I'm really tired of that. Because used to be

(22:12):
you could go to these comic cons and you spend
if they were you know, like a B list celebrity
fifty bucks, eighty bucks maybe, and a big star maybe
one p fifty. Now you're spending four hundred, five hundred
and six hundred dollars. And uh, it's because of these
autograph flippers, because they were and they were in line
with me. I heard this guy go, oh, I got this.
I got this autograph I got to put it up
on eBay today. Like you shouldn't be allowed, like you

(22:33):
got to sign a contract saying that you're not going
to sell these or something, because people like me who
just want the autograph, who appreciate the artist and just
want to, you know, have some a keepsake from you.
I'm not going to sell After I'm dead. You guys
can do whatever you want with these things, but while
I'm still alive, I'm not selling these you for personal
use or for our life. Right, if it's commercial use,

(22:53):
you should pay extra. If it's personal use, then I
don't know how you verify that, but maybe you. I
don't know that they like you kill him, I don't know,
something like that.

Speaker 1 (23:03):
But got to make it personalized, so it's got some much.

Speaker 2 (23:07):
But then they The problem is a lot of these
big celebrities won't do personalization because it takes longer A
and then B. I don't know. I guess they try
to do it non personalized because then the market gets
saturated and they're worth less. If that makes sense. Because
there's a billion Michael J. Fox's original signature, then it's

(23:29):
not gonna be worth as much if there was only five.
Does that make sense? I think. I don't know if
that's the reason, but that makes sense to me.

Speaker 4 (23:37):
What you said makes sense, but not in context of
what we're talking about.

Speaker 1 (23:41):
Yeah, all right, all right.

Speaker 2 (23:48):

I was at Dollar General yesterday, I think, and I
hadn't been there a long time. I've been to a
store in a long time, and I was kind of
been a bad man. I just woke up, uh, and
I go get my stuff and I put out the

(27:53):
counter and the girl goes, did you find everything?

Speaker 1 (27:55):
Okay?

Speaker 2 (27:56):
And in my mind, I'm like, I hate when people
ask me that. I'm at the check out counter number one,
so obviously I'm at the end of my journey. Why
are you asking me now if everything? Did I find everything? Okay?

Speaker 3 (28:07):

It's Dollar General. They got one person looking, They got
one person to lock up manage stock check out. Yeah,
I mean, and I'm bossed so bad for that person. Yeah,
I mean, I wasn't mad at them. I just like,

I'm not going to ask that you find obviously you did,

Speaker 1 (29:41):
No, you should this is what are you doing this weekend?
That's how should go. Like Trader Joe, the person should
just look at you and just say, wow, it looks
like you found everything, and then that gives you, that gets.

Speaker 2 (29:51):
You, that's that's a dumb object.

Speaker 1 (29:53):
Gave you the option to say, yeah, you woke up today,
like it's a stupid observation. Why the hell do I
want to even have this conversation to you.

Speaker 2 (30:01):
As a business. You don't want to you they found everything?
Don't even acknowledge it that it's over. Don't ask oh,
did you find everything? Because if they say no, then
you're disrupting the whole line.

Speaker 1 (30:10):
Again. Well, I'm acting like I actually walked through the
line when a damn well use the self checkout thing anyway.

Speaker 2 (30:15):
They don't have that open anymore because suit me. People's
shop left at Dollar General. Yeap, imagine that. Guess what
I was one of them? Yeah, ac two Christmas shows ago.
I went there to go buy some Christmas decorations for
the show. Did everything, went to the self checkout, walked
out with like, you know, fifty fifty bags or whatever.
Uh put in the car, go to the gas station,

(30:36):
and I'm sitting there thinking, I'm like, I don't remember
punching anything in the you a little screen, And so
then I go back after the gas station, I go, hey,
did I did I pay?

Speaker 3 (30:45):
Like?

Speaker 7 (30:45):
No?

Speaker 2 (30:47):
So can you imagine how many people did that on purpose?

Speaker 1 (30:50):
Dude? Dollar General almost went out of business because of that,
I know, like the whole they were like, oh, thank
god you came back.

Speaker 2 (30:56):
I know, but I'm a stockholder, so I have to
be you know, I gotta treat it. It's my company,
is it. Yeah? I owned them, you know. All right,
let's talk about Pee Wee's Playhouse or was it Pee
Wee himself?

Speaker 3 (31:07):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (31:07):
Pee the documentary was fan tastic. I did. I loved it.
It took me about a week to watch it, got parts,
but I watched it one night. Yeah, if I had
the time, if I had your time, I would definitely
do it.

Speaker 3 (31:19):
But I did it.

Speaker 2 (31:19):
You know, I had to watch them flights, you know,
in between workouts, and you know, yeah, and then I
watched Pee's The Adventure right after that. That's all. I've
never seen it. Next time, you've never seen it, but
I've seen.

Speaker 7 (31:29):
Okay, don't okay, don't, don't watch it whenever they show
it at the Texas Theater.

Speaker 2 (31:34):
Will go again.

Speaker 7 (31:35):
It was the most like amazing experience. Like I've seen
that movie like so many times since I've been like
a little kid, but I've never seen it in theaters.
And so I took Kurby and my mom to go
with me to watch it in theaters. That whole experience
just like blew me away, Like I got just the

(31:59):
jokes landed way better. Well they they're good. It is
a different way whenever there's like a live audience there. Yeah,
and just I don't know, it just it just it
was just all different. It was just way different.

Speaker 2 (32:12):
I'm going to see when they're going to play it next, Yeah,
tell them to play it like off offbeat. Yeah, play
it on a random Monday when you're.

Speaker 1 (32:20):
Get film festival stuff coming up.

Speaker 2 (32:22):
Oh that's right, I'll ask him afterwards. The're probably busy. Yeah,
but it was an amazing experience. I want to go
to the Text Theater on JFK Day because they play
the same movie that what's his face Lee was watching
and they do it for the same price or whatever,
that seventy six cents or whatever it was. What movie
was it? I don't know. But after he shot JFK,

(32:45):
he went to Text Theater watching movie as you do, right,
and then that's where they caught him and arrested him.
Did you know that about the Text theater. I don't
think any of that. Yeah, So it's very and they
kind of they don't know exactly where he was sitting,
but they knew because of you know, remodels and stuff
like that, but they have the general idea of where
he was sitting.

Speaker 1 (33:03):
War as hell, war as hell hell.

Speaker 2 (33:05):
Yeah.

Speaker 7 (33:06):
But my uncle owned a home right down the street,
cause the street room where where the guy lived.

Speaker 2 (33:13):
At, oh, where he lived. Yeah. So being a Pewee
fan for your whole life and now I get it.
Why do you get it? Because first off, I wasn't
you know, I was as a kid, I watched Peebe's Playhouse,
and then I didn't. I wasn't allowed to watch it anymore.
And then I just never really paid attention to pee
Wee Hermon. I would see him pop up in different

(33:33):
shows and is that pee Herman? Yeah, that was it.
That was the extent of what. And I remember liking
the show, I just wasn't allowed to watch it. And
then as you get older, you hear about the theater.
I was just thinking he was jacking it to so,
you know, Cinderella or something. But it turns out he
was in an adult theater. You find that out later
in life, and I'm like, well, what do you what
else do you expect to do an adult theater? You
know what I mean. We're gonna send Clark next door
actually here in a couple of weeks to do an

(33:55):
investigative report on adult theaters.

Speaker 1 (33:58):
You can visit multiple within a five minute rates.

Speaker 2 (34:01):
Yeah, have cameras on glasses, camera, all that stuff. But
you know, so you find all that out later in life.
So but I've always I always remember as a kid
liking Pee's Playhouse. I don't remember much of it, but
I liked it. The only thing I didn't like about
the document at first, off I did. But the only
thing I didn't like, but it wasn't their fault was

(34:23):
the fact that I thought there was going to be
they set it up part one because they don't go
into the conspiracies. I didn't really remember the second one.
There's two conspiracies. Paul had the second movie or the
second part of that, they were kind of setting up
to go deep dive into it, and I thought they
were going to really give me like more information that
I just didn't know that maybe the media twisted or

(34:44):
something like that. There was nothing. There was nothing new,
and I wanted to hear more of Paul's side of it,
and they didn't do that, and I was like, well,
that's kind of a bummer. But the reason why is
because Paul stopped working with the director during all this stuff,
and so they just worked with what they had. Yeah,
that's why it was the same stuff. We already knew.
So many questions I have about the theater incident, like

(35:07):
it was a sting operation. We know that was Paul
the only one probably not that got arrested, So who
else got arrested?

Speaker 1 (35:14):
They made it seem like he was the only one. Well,
I mean, do you want like a lung list of
people that were in the theater?

Speaker 2 (35:19):
What I mean? Yeah? What I was? I just want
to know what we arrested twenty people that were whacking
it in an adult theater?

Speaker 1 (35:26):
Cool?

Speaker 2 (35:27):
Why does it just repointed the Paul? What kind of
movie was it?

Speaker 1 (35:30):
He was gay?

Speaker 2 (35:30):
So was it a gay film?

Speaker 1 (35:32):
Damn dude, Like nobody's really thinking about this, I do.
I'm investiget a reporter.

Speaker 7 (35:36):
Yeah, I just think that they were just trying, like
they because they came across the table right of whoever.

Speaker 2 (35:42):
It was at the police station over there.

Speaker 7 (35:45):
They I think they just recognized the name, and I
think someone had called and were like, hey, I think
I don't know if it was a lawyer or whatever,
was like, hey, please don't release this RSPR. I forgot
what exactly, you know, because he's X y Z. Yeah,
and I think, I mean, I don't know for sure,
but I mean probably if someone wanted to do it,

(36:05):
because oh my gosh, you know that he's he's a
child teeth television, yeah whatever, and he was caught and
blah blah blah, and it's like.

Speaker 2 (36:12):
Yeah, but by the way, I didn't know until I
was in my twenties that it was an adult theater.
The whole time, as you're growing up, you just hear
he was in the theater. So I'm just thinking what
movie was he watched home alone? You know, I was watching.

Speaker 7 (36:25):
Yeah, I mean, like I think, like a little bit older.
I mean, well, my mom like should watch it regardless, Like, yeah,
I don't think she even probably even know I don't. Yeah,
I don't even think she even knew. But you know,
but I had all the movies I had on my VHS,
like the show and everything, and then also Pepe's Big Adventure.

(36:48):
I never knew that had happened. It wasn't until I
think whenever I was a teenager, I started hearing about. Oh,
not that he was caught in an adult theater. I
think that would have been loud, but I okay, and yeah,
people are saying that he was like a child predator,
right and everything.

Speaker 2 (37:04):
And my mom thought that that's what she thought because
that's how it was presented.

Speaker 1 (37:07):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (37:08):
So even after I watched the documentary, I was over
like a Mother's day or whatever. I was talking to
my mom about it, and she goes, oh, he's a
he's a creep.

Speaker 1 (37:14):
He was a pervert. I'm like, no, he wasn't.

Speaker 2 (37:17):
He was. He went to a movie theater, he was
done with the show, went to a movie theater, an
adult one. What else do you expect to do? An
adult movie theater? Yeah, he made a mistake. Probably should
have done that. Probably should have you know, rented a
VHS at home or Beta Max and uh done it there.
But he was there with a bunch of other people,
and he just happened to be the famous person there.
And then you know the other thing about the artwork.

(37:39):
I remember that, I remember that slightly, slightly, Yeah, And
I remember thinking that just seems weird. And then when
they explained it on the show, it's really just he had.
It was just vintage magazine.

Speaker 1 (37:50):
Yeah he had.

Speaker 2 (37:51):
He didn't even publicly, he didn't even know it was
probably there, it was in boxes. Uh So I explained
all that, and you know, he was a collector. And
watching this documentary, I realized I think I'm Paul Rubens.
I was thinking thing like, y'all would have been best friends.
I think so too. Yeah, the movie with them, Yeah,
it depends on what was showing, what's playing.

Speaker 1 (38:09):
You think you wouldn't have done the popcorn trick with you?

Speaker 2 (38:11):
No, I don't think heave popcorn. I really appreciated him
as a creative watching this, I really appreciated him as
a creative genius, as somebody who just took chances and
an artist. And I really I got it now, you
know what I mean?

Speaker 7 (38:27):
Yeah, I don't even think he really I mean he did, Yeah,
he did take chances, but I think he was like,
you know, this is my art form. I'm gonna do
it one hundred and like fifty percent. Yeah, like and
nobody's gonna stop me. Yeah, that's a big like thing
to give yourself over to. Yeah, it's like because he

(38:50):
was like, I'm gonna he was putting all of his
eggs in his basket, and I knew, like I didn't
know it was like to that extent, but for him
to like b pee Wee Herman and make this like
fictional character a real person, not just like to like
people locally, but like to the world, and I.

Speaker 2 (39:13):
Know what you're saying about.

Speaker 7 (39:14):
Oh, whenever you would see him afterwards, right after pe
B Herman, I would do the same thing. But I
always correlated his face and everything to pe B Herman.
I was like, Oh, that's Pee b Herman. And then
I would I would go to the credits, like whenever
I saw a mystery Man, I would go to the
credits and I'm all like, looking for pe B Herman
as that that character. And then I said, Paul Rubins,

(39:34):
I'm like, Paul Rubins, I'm all like, that's not Pee
Wee Herman, but he looks like Pee b Herman.

Speaker 2 (39:38):
And I was like, he's just P. B.

Speaker 1 (39:40):
Herman.

Speaker 7 (39:40):
Yeah, and that's what my brain's already getting confused. And
I'm all like, wait a minute, is P. P. Herman real?
You know, but that this is like my young my
young mind, I didn't understand. But yeah then I then
I really understood after a while. So yeah, what did
you think overall? I mean you being a lifelong Paul,

(40:02):
I really it answered all of my questions, like from
from from his early childhood all the way to him
bringing up P. P. Herman that I wanted to know,
you know, because how did he get from you know,
like pee wee Herman to like before, right, how did
he get to what was his journey like all the
way up to that point?

Speaker 1 (40:22):
Well, I know he was in The Brothers. He played
a waiter in that.

Speaker 7 (40:27):
But yeah, but it's all that, and it goes through
all that, like how how the idea came along? You know,
like it was a really you know, collaborative you know
project and everything. And I know there's a lot of
talk in the documentary about some of the people that
were on the original like stage show of P. B.
Herman saying that you know, he used them to get like,

(40:50):
you know, pep Herman bigger than what it was. They
used he basically stepping stone yet to get where he
wanted to be, and then they kind of found the wayside.
But it's weird because like if they say that and
then he got this, you know, the I would call
it water Brothers deal for the movie and everything, But
if you look look at Pee's big adventure and then
even though that's after everything, them saying all that they're

(41:12):
in the movie, like if I make cameos in the movie, yeah,
And I'm all like, so did y'all have bad blood
or no? Because then why would you why would he
ask you to come be a part of the movie.
Then is it makingny sense.

Speaker 2 (41:25):
To Yeah, and they're saying all this after he's dead,
you know. Yeah, so it's all But I so I
loved it. I thought it was great. I wish I
would have seen it before we waited in line because
I would have gotten his autographed too, and I would
have tried. We tried getting him on the show, especially
around your birthday. I would try to bring him on
the show to have to be a surprise or get

(41:46):
you a cameo from him, but he would always be
offline around that time or couldn't do it. Yeah, but
I would have probably tried harder. What I have still
been upset that he made us wait in line for
you know, half a day. It was our hours out,
it was a two hours. No, it was longer than that,
at least at least three. Yeah, because remember he took
a bathroom break, he took a lunch break, and he

(42:09):
took a Walking Dead break with a guy from the
Walking Dead, and I'm like, this guy didn't buy a ticket,
and then he talked to everyone for five or to
except for us. I felt like he because the person
in front of Eric was still talking to him, and
so we kind of just got pushed through. But Eric,
you still got to talk to him a little bit.
But I really I would have appreciated him more had

(42:29):
I seen that documentary, you know, because I got robbed
of Paul Rubens because of you know, the news and
the nineties or whatever it was, and never got to
really appreciate him for what he was. Yeah.

Speaker 7 (42:42):
Yeah, I mean, I don't know. I did get a
little emotional, I think after after I started watching P's
a Big Adventure afterwards and everything. But also it made
me appreciate it even more, and I'm like, I probably
I think maybe now you understand a little bit. But
when I met the actress I played Simone in Petey's

(43:05):
Big Adventure where you got all emotional yeah, And I
was like there, and I was like, if she would
have said like ovola like to me, I probably would have.

Speaker 2 (43:13):
Broke down right, Yeah, can I get it?

Speaker 7 (43:15):
No, because I watched it and then her saying O
lo pee wee in the movie and then he was oh, Simone,
and I would have just like.

Speaker 2 (43:22):
Lost it, yeah because he had just done yeah, and
then like yeah, so yeah, that's incredible. But yeah, all right,
Now to a lighter note, Catherine wants to talk about
twenty eight years later. Is that something? It's a feel
good movie.

Speaker 3 (43:33):
Right, Yeah, it's a rom com?

Speaker 2 (43:35):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (43:38):
Did you like it?

Speaker 3 (43:39):
I I personally didn't really like it, But that's just
that's just because I don't like low saturated, filtered movies.
It's for my like, I don't know, it doesn't it.

Speaker 1 (43:54):
Doesn't do it well.

Speaker 2 (43:54):
It looks too like grayscale.

Speaker 3 (43:56):
Yeah, okay, but I thought it was I saw the
peel and you said that it was filmed on an iPhone.

Speaker 2 (44:03):
Yeah, Is that true? Did you look it up?

Speaker 1 (44:05):
It is?

Speaker 2 (44:06):
Okay, it's true. iPhone fifteen wow, not even the latest model, right.

Speaker 3 (44:12):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (44:13):
So that's the only reason why I think i'd watch
it Because it was a film.

Speaker 1 (44:16):
They should have filmed it on a iPod nana.

Speaker 2 (44:20):
Yeah, probably would have felt better, but it felt like
The Walking Dead or something, you know. Would you recommend
people see it or now? Yeah, you watch in theaters? Yes?

Speaker 1 (44:28):
Wow?

Speaker 2 (44:29):
You actually went out of the house, yeah, wow.

Speaker 3 (44:31):
And I saw it alone, but I had it was weird.
It was like an empty row and I was sitting
next to a family of I think like seven, like
right next to them.

Speaker 2 (44:43):
So they just thought you were one of the kids.

Speaker 1 (44:44):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (44:45):
They didn't realize that you were even offering a pop quorn, yeah, candy.

Speaker 3 (44:48):
And it was weird. They left like twenty minutes and
twenty minutes prior to it ending, so.

Speaker 2 (44:55):
They don't even know the ending.

Speaker 1 (44:56):
They don't even they could be walking around that's not
in the end.

Speaker 2 (45:00):
Child's children too, well. I think they just figured out
there was something out. They probably thought it was like
a you know, a hopeful movie or something. Twenty eight
years later they found hope or something like that. But
isn't it crazy like the first movie, you can't even
get anymore? Right, didn't you tell me that you can't
stream it? You can't stream?

Speaker 7 (45:16):
Yeah, I don't think there's any more copies, but yeah,
I have elemented a copy, but I think now they
you're able to stream it now and purchase.

Speaker 2 (45:23):
I think, okay, well, I haven't seen any of them,
so I'll have to start from the beginning. I'm trying
to Peebe's Playhouse or whatever. A big adventure was on
my watch list, but now I'm not gonna watch it
till we see it in theater.

Speaker 7 (45:35):
Yeah, I think you would appreciate it more. Yeah, I
think you would get the whole experience in theater.

Speaker 2 (45:40):
I did see the Netflix one though, and I remember
watching it because I was like, I saw the trailer
and I'm like, boy, Paul looks really good for his age.
But then I saw an interview where he did with
Conan or somebody, and he was like it was cgi
the same thing they used for like the Irishman. They
de aged his face and everything, and I'm like, oh,
I didn't know that. I want an interview. No, for
the pee Wee movie they did on Netflix, like five

(46:02):
years ago.

Speaker 7 (46:03):
Okay, I remember, Yeah, I figured they did do something
because I'm like, boy, he looks really like he looks
the same as he did, you know, back in the
eighties when he looks but then you watch me the interviews,
he looks heavier.

Speaker 2 (46:13):
Yeah, so it's like, how do you look at what happened?
What did they do? Is that a good makeup artist?
But it was all it was like some of the
first like daging stuff that they were using in movies.
So all right, real quick news. A lot of people
are probably asking where is Lola, and Lola is in
jail if you which is not surprising honestly, because yeah, unfortunately,

(46:36):
in fact, if you go back and listen to our
AI Lola recap episode in the beginning of the year,
the AI even called it like she might go back
because of her old habits and that kind of thing.
So she was released from prison I think this time
last year, and she didn't even make it a full
year and is back in jail. Has been arrested twice
April and May since being off probation, which I think

(46:58):
she got a probation in Mark. Did she tell us
something like that? I don't remember. She had off early,
which was probably a bad decision on the probation officer's part.
But I, unfortunately have spent my time around addicts. Addicts
and me be anything. It'd be alcohol, could be drugs,
to be a lot of things. Some people are just addicted
to being addicted. And I've had family members that are addicts,

(47:19):
They've had friends that are addicts. I've dated a couple
people that are addicts, and you know, you kind of
learned to recognize the behavior patterns. And there were a
couple of times where on the show in DMS, I
would be like, hey, I don't think that's you know,
I would jokingly say, kind of watch out for this,
and says, even if it was harmless, I just know
you start doing this thing and that you didn't kill you.

(47:40):
So you start doing something else and then before you know,
you're full blown back into the situation. So I've learned
to watch patterns and I would call them out. And
then there was at least two conversations we had face
to face in a serious conversation where I go, you
really need to stop with you. Like the salon she
worked out, they're always smoking and drinking up there, and
I said you probably didn't find yourself a new salon.

(48:02):
I think that's really not a good environment for you
to be in. YadA, YadA, YadA. We were doing all
this stuff and he's a serious conversation. We would have
off off the show, and unfortunately she she didn't listen
to the fact that one of the last times I
talked to her, she had just gotten arrested for possession.
And then a week later was on her Instagram story
blowing smoke out of her mouth and I said, I'm

(48:24):
going to send this to your PO. She goes, I
don't have a PO because now she's off probation. I said, no,
you're a new one. You're a nebly gonna have uh
And she goes, let me have my fun. And then
a few weeks later she's in jail for a d
w I open container maybe a possession again and bought
a car wreck the car same week. I talked to

(48:45):
her brother just to confirm it all. I'm piecing all
this together because I'm like a detective. Was it that
why car? The STV?

Speaker 3 (48:51):
No?

Speaker 2 (48:51):
She had? She had bought a new car. It was
like some Nissan something and she was washed because she's
real proud of it and then totally just a few
days later. So anyway, long on the short she's still
in jail at this very moment, she has trial. I
think her birthday and her trial is next week or
the evidence hearing. I don't know how that all works,

(49:12):
but chat Gibt has been educated. I feel like I'm
past the bar now with all the information I know now.
I talked to Marcus. I've made a decision that we
can't until she gets her s together, we can't have
her on the show. I told Marcus my plan, and
Marcus thought that's a good idea, and he goes, I
need to come by the show. I said, we, Yeah,
you're I've been saying that first six right. You haven't

(49:34):
seen you since Christmas. But so yeah, so we have
to get rid of Lola. So unfortunately, for now, hopefully
she's back. In fact, she's got to do a voiceover
for a video that we shot in La with Karina
last year, and she was supposed to have voiceover for it,
but I'm thinking now we're going to do a Joe
Exotic type thing where the reason why she couldn't go
was because now she's in prison. We'll have her do

(49:55):
it over the phone, and we'll have like the because
she's in Fort Worth, we'll have like the Phone with prison.
Just take the same screenshot they did with Joe Exotic
and just have her on the show, you know, phoning
it in. But that's probably gonna be her last project
with us for a while. And then the news. I
happen to be with Sean the day that I found
that out, and so I jokingly turned to Sean and go, hey,

(50:17):
we might have a position. Do you want you know,
we we have a quote of the phil Do you
want to take over for Lola? And she said yes,
And so last show we had her, we kind of
tried her out. We haven't The reason why she's not
here today is because we haven't officially brought her on.
But I think we'll officially bring her on next month.
If she didn't work, it didn't work, you know, we
just put her back when we found her easy enough.

(50:41):
But Catherine, you think she's gonna work.

Speaker 3 (50:43):
Right, I think she's gonna work swimmingly.

Speaker 2 (50:47):
Okay, So she'll start with us next month, and yeah,
hashtag free Lola, you know, hashtag free Lola. Hashtag no no, no, no,
don't drop the charges hashtag, hashtag capture Brittany. I was
a little confused. Well, because you know, Britney Spears is

(51:07):
free and she and she went all crazy. So now
I'm promoting capture and hashtag capture Brittany. I may have
to leave the show because because of that, because yeah,
it's a conflict of interest for me. No, no, no, If
you knew what I knew and she ain't, she ain't gay.

Speaker 1 (51:24):
Britney Spears spears, Yeah, she's not gay.

Speaker 2 (51:29):
She's gay. Yeah, if you knew what I knew, I'll
tell you off the If you knew what I knew,
you wouldn't. I'll tell you at the Well, she was
kind of an adult theater. You know, I'm okay with that.

Speaker 1 (51:39):
Well yeah, yeah, of course, Britney Spears. Do you think
she would go to jail? Who Britney Spears? She was
in the theater for you know.

Speaker 2 (51:48):
If it's an adult theater.

Speaker 1 (51:50):
What movie do you think she was watching?

Speaker 2 (51:52):
Oh? Who knows what? That girl out of her mind?

Speaker 1 (51:54):
She was watching old Backstreet Boys.

Speaker 2 (51:56):
Yeah, watched that movie.

Speaker 1 (51:58):
She was in?

Speaker 2 (51:58):
What was that movie?

Speaker 1 (51:59):
That Justice Crawling?

Speaker 2 (52:01):
Yeah she's watching that but she's so out of her mind.
But yeah, I'll tell you what I know. There's I
got some inside information. So the reason why Britney Spirits
is a fresh on my mind right now is because
I'm I'm getting back into VR my workouts, and I
downloaded the Britney Spears pack on Beat Saber, so I've
been beating at the Britney.
