Aaron yes, and now we're doing a podcast, yes, And
it's all just free form from there. That is the
extent of the structure of this podcast. Between time off,
we generally said the same thing when we the same
sentence when we open, and then the same sentence when
we close.
Speaker 3 (00:51):
Everything in between who.
Speaker 2 (00:52):
Knows, And then steal a phrase from Doug Benson. And
then it's a forty five minute fuck around.
Speaker 3 (00:57):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (00:58):
Yeah, So we're here in what is this studio two
point five version Asmacre two point five, still in the
living room in the temporary space.
Speaker 3 (01:11):
It is Memorial Day weekend.
Speaker 4 (01:13):
This episode will be dropping yeah, and in Detroit in
the Year of Our Lord twenty twenty five.
Speaker 2 (01:20):
And in Detroit that usually means the electronic music festival.
Speaker 4 (01:24):
It's technical Christmas is what they refer to it as locally.
Speaker 2 (01:29):
Oh really that's what they call it?
Speaker 3 (01:30):
Oh yeah?
Speaker 2 (01:31):
Oh wow.
Speaker 3 (01:32):
Well because also.
Speaker 4 (01:35):
So many all the successful Detroit DJs go away, right,
They go to New York, they go to Germany, they
go to all over the place. So for a lot
of us who are friends with some of these DJs,
this is our chance to see them. This is like
Thanksgiving and Christmas where like everyone's home from college.
Speaker 2 (01:59):
Ah okay, I just say, does Santa Claus have headphones
on Molly?
Speaker 3 (02:04):
Yeah? Everybody is. Or so that's so much Molly the days.
Speaker 2 (02:08):
I guess ketamine, what do you leave out for techno clause?
Speaker 3 (02:12):
Yeah, a line of ketamine that's a good like.
Speaker 2 (02:16):
Leave out this line of special K for techno clause.
But I just state myself by calling it a special K.
Speaker 4 (02:23):
That's a that's a good like average party drug, right,
you know, like it's not like addictive in that cocaine
way where all you get Santa comes and does a
line at somebody's house, and he's just gonna want to
do a line at the next person's house, right, and
then just shake gets out of hand.
Speaker 2 (02:42):
You think about it, this is techno clause he does
all those lines. He can beat a k hole by
the end of the night. Yes, like we're thousands of
lines of k.
Speaker 4 (02:53):
I had a night where I worked the door for
a party and pretty much accepted whatever people gave me
for entrance. Let's just say that, Yeah, Dora is fifteen,
but you know, like a joint, a bomb? What you
got there?
Speaker 2 (03:12):
Give me ten and a pill and cold square.
Speaker 3 (03:16):
As I said, night, Aaron, what did you do? You
spout it?
Speaker 2 (03:20):
What didn't I do?
Speaker 3 (03:21):
Yeah, I'm not sure. I don't know.
Speaker 2 (03:23):
It's more, here's the list of the drugs that I
wasn't handed tonight, the three things on it like tile
and all ill.
Speaker 4 (03:33):
Yeah, so this is well what mostly the all this,
all these events revolve around the movement festivals when they
call it now which answer you were just? I had
forgotten it was the this is the twenty fifth year, yes,
or the movement festival.
Speaker 2 (03:53):
The movement when it become the movement, I still noticed
electronic amusement.
Speaker 5 (03:57):
Electron Yeah, when it's noted being dimp it was pretty
it was well, I don't know, there's a whole history
that I'll totally get wrong, but like the first couple
years of the festival are very different from each other
(04:19):
behind the scenes wise, and then it kind of homogenized
into a thing that is now being handled I think
mostly by packs.
Speaker 2 (04:28):
How the last one I went to, the Ford Focus
was involved. Okay, there's like a Ford Focused tint. I
think it was the last year it was still called
was I don't know if it was called I don't,
I don't remember.
Speaker 4 (04:45):
Yeah, I think there was an intermediary name for like
the third year of it, and I think maybe that
was the year that like Carl Craig was involved in organizing.
Speaker 2 (04:55):
I know it was at Heart Plaza. Is still Heart Plaza.
Speaker 4 (04:58):
Yeah, the location is always spend the same, but yeah,
it's I mean, it's just become it's become so crazily
commercial that like, I don't there's very few acts that
I would even have interest in seeing this year, and
the ones that I would they're playing at better places
(05:20):
where I'm not going to have to fight through crowds,
pay twenty dollars for a soft pretzel and you know,
deal with weather.
Speaker 3 (05:28):
I can be in an.
Speaker 4 (05:30):
Indoor warehouse breathing breathing asbestos, like you should be while
listening to techno.
Speaker 2 (05:38):
Use at the movement. I've been listening to the electronic music.
If I've heard of any of these people, what I mean?
Speaker 4 (05:45):
You want to talk commercial though, like some of the
the movement festivals looks damn near underground when compared to
some of the festivals out there across the world.
Speaker 3 (05:58):
They just had. I think it's E d C is
what they call it.
Speaker 4 (06:05):
I can't remember what it stands for. But it takes
place in Vegas. It's in a huge place. You know,
thousands and thousands of people.
Speaker 3 (06:13):
Come out to see it.
Speaker 4 (06:13):
It's like, you know, a burning Man style like rave
and uh yeah. People well, on social media, lots of
people were sharing videos of their time at I didn't.
I didn't catch a glimpse of any music that sounded
worth listening to.
Speaker 3 (06:34):
How am I supposed.
Speaker 2 (06:34):
To read this? I have it on old people's settings
on my phone toos.
Speaker 4 (06:38):
A lot of people on there. You can blow it up,
pinch and zoom.
Speaker 2 (06:42):
Beat loaf is a named beat loaf or a thing
right now? Someone named beat loaf.
Speaker 4 (06:51):
Someone named beat loaf, lof beat loaf. Yeah, they were
showing some of the prices at the this CDC and Vegas.
For the for food, it was like one hundred dollars
for a pizza what not a huge one either, just
a regular pizza. I like would feed you probably like
(07:12):
four slices of pizza. Fifty bucks for a hamburger with fries.
I don't know how is anyone supposed to have fun
in an environment like that? And if you tell me drugs,
I tell you stay home and fucking turn your screensaver
on and get yourself an old X mix. You know,
(07:35):
get X mixed too, Lauren, throw that shit on. Actually,
just go find the video. The X mix had videos,
so you don't even need a screensaver.
Speaker 3 (07:45):
But on top of that, a bunch there was I.
Speaker 4 (07:50):
Can't remember the name of the artist, but it was
somebody who plays at huge festivals like this, and he
was doing an AMA you know, ask me anything, and
he was asked about if he had ever played a
fake set, and he was kind of getting irate, like
what do you mean fake?
Speaker 2 (08:09):
Is?
Speaker 3 (08:09):
What are you trying to say?
Speaker 2 (08:11):
Like?
Speaker 4 (08:11):
What's fake about what I'm doing? And then the person clarified,
you know, have you ever played a pre recorded set?
You know, have you ever just like came with it
an hour long set MP three and just played that
and then faked like you were mixing. And then he
calmed down immediately and he was like, oh, oh yeah, no,
(08:34):
that's standard practice.
Speaker 3 (08:35):
He's like, you do something like EDC.
Speaker 4 (08:38):
He's like, I'm pretty sure they don't let anybody not
play because there's so much money on the line that
they don't let you play live. You come with your set,
your pre approved set that you hit play on, and
then you work the knobs like the mix is actually
hooked up to something, wave your hands in the air,
(09:02):
and so like, what is the fucking point other than drugs? Like,
I'm not commerce, I'm saying for the people going there, right, yea,
I guess seeing other people, like you know, dressing up.
Speaker 3 (09:19):
So I don't know, like.
Speaker 4 (09:20):
We as previously established, I'm not against drugs, but you know.
Speaker 2 (09:26):
He's fairly obvious by the title of the show.
Speaker 4 (09:29):
But drugs are just one of the many things that
pair well with good music and good people. And if
you take away the good music and the good people,
then and you just left with the drugs again, like
stay home.
Speaker 2 (09:47):
Yeah, everyone I know on that list is old, So
I'm old, Like DJ Godfather Kevin Saunderson Craig.
Speaker 4 (09:56):
Look, they're the real DJs, and I'm not saying about
the Kevin Saunderson Godfather of Court. Like, these guys are
not gonna go on and play prerecorded sets.
Speaker 3 (10:06):
They're gonna play live.
Speaker 4 (10:07):
They're probably gonna play Vinyl for that matter, and they
all they put on great shows. Carl Craig is not
like the best DJ in my opinion, but he has
such impeccable taste in music and knows how to like
mix well enough to make it vibe well, you know,
so like they're all worth seeing.
Speaker 3 (10:29):
Well, not all of them.
Speaker 4 (10:30):
I shouldn't say there's there's there's a great many people
at that festival we're seeing, but goddamn it. I mean,
like I've seen them all before. I don't need to
see them in that environment, out in the open, fighting
massive crowds of people dressed like idiots.
Speaker 2 (10:49):
Festival was always good people watching.
Speaker 4 (10:52):
Yeah, I mean, like the first, I want to say,
the first three years I went, and after that it
was like maybe I would pop in to see a friend.
Speaker 2 (11:02):
No sticks for you this weekend?
Speaker 4 (11:03):
No, Well, come on, man, there one. There is never
going to be glow sticks. There's never glow sticks. There's
never any glow sticks.
Speaker 2 (11:12):
That's your autobiography. Yes, it's never going to be any
glows there never was, never will be.
Speaker 4 (11:20):
Those have always been bullshit. But goddamn kids these days
have got it. May when it comes to like little
stupid toys that like light up and also, I mean
just your fucking vape there would drive people nuts and
right they'd be fucking holding that ship. They'd be they
strap it to their face of China.
Speaker 2 (11:41):
Here wre like a rocket ship shows up?
Speaker 4 (11:43):
Yeah, oh wow, no wait I turned it off.
Speaker 3 (11:49):
Is there a discrete mode with no lights off?
Speaker 2 (11:54):
There you go, it's rocket mode.
Speaker 3 (11:57):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (11:59):
There's a whole bunch of shit going on over there.
Speaker 4 (12:03):
That seems like excessive, especially for something that you're well,
this is definitely for young people.
Speaker 2 (12:08):
Yeah, but I said, I like the flavors. I like
that last me two weeks. I like there's the number
attached to my battery life and my vape juice level.
I mean I was using geek items before, but this
thing is yeah like it. I was using their modular
ship at the end when I was vaping.
Speaker 4 (12:28):
I like that their stuff seems to be designed ergonomically.
Speaker 3 (12:34):
Like that.
Speaker 2 (12:34):
This is bigger that I was. I started out with
the one that's smaller, and it's just like it feels
is like it's the same times my headphones kept confusing
it with my headphones.
Speaker 4 (12:44):
So this one's a little bigger, like your your iPod
case you're saying or whatever.
Speaker 3 (12:52):
You got.
Speaker 2 (12:55):
The other ones about their size, and I kept confusing it.
So if you have the one on who lasts like
ten days, I get two weeks out of this one.
Speaker 4 (13:03):
Ended up choking. I want to hear earbuds.
Speaker 2 (13:08):
This is a watermelon.
Speaker 3 (13:11):
Yeah, it would be like I think Chris is choking?
Is he breathing?
Speaker 4 (13:16):
No, he's just what is he saying? Is that Mark
Miron there's a podcast coming out.
Speaker 3 (13:22):
Of his mouth.
Speaker 2 (13:24):
I've been listening to that guy in years.
Speaker 3 (13:26):
Yeah, what's your what's your number?
Speaker 2 (13:29):
One?
Speaker 3 (13:29):
These days?
Speaker 1 (13:31):
Uh?
Speaker 2 (13:31):
Still Drew was did Drew Lane show? Now he's changed
his name for legal purposes. And then so with the
Ace Man.
Speaker 3 (13:40):
I like checking out a lot of different podcasts. I
don't stick with all of them.
Speaker 2 (13:43):
I brought in Shane Gillis. His podcast has come in
to the fold in the last couple of years.
Speaker 4 (13:51):
Mean Matt McCusker this week dropped the first episode of
Rob Morrows and Janine Turner's podcast about Northern Exposure. I
can't remember what they call it, but that would be
enough to find it if your one was curious. And
this is too, also to celebrate that Northern exposure. It
(14:12):
is available on streaming in the US.
Speaker 2 (14:14):
Oh shocking, No, you don't say, yeah.
Speaker 4 (14:17):
No, it hasn't been available for a while, and I
think so I started rewatching it, so I'm only on
episode two. But they used a lot of really good
music in that show, and in the dark days where
(14:37):
it wasn't available, I would just end up torrenting seasons
and what you would usually find was the US DVD release,
which had a lot of the original.
Speaker 3 (14:49):
Music swapped out.
Speaker 4 (14:52):
So instead of the yeah, licensing issues got in the way,
and instead of that pivotal moment when Chris lings the
piano through the air with this home made tribuche to
the tune of Proco Hairum's White as Shade of Pale,
it is now like some Bach piece that's in the
public domain.
Speaker 2 (15:13):
Scrubs one through that too. Yeah, And there was a
big deal I think they made because the ones on
Hulu now have all the music cleared or some shit. Yeah,
it's either on Amazon or Hulu. They got all the
music cleared to do it so well.
Speaker 4 (15:29):
Northern Exposure is flat out my favorite show ever, and
it's the one that I keep going back to and
every time that I've watched it numerous times. I've gone
through and watched this at different stages in my life,
and it never feels stale. I mean, the fashion is
(15:53):
of that early nineties period. You know, everyone's hair is
a little big, everyone's pants are a little baggy.
Speaker 2 (16:01):
And beige.
Speaker 3 (16:02):
Yeah, a lot of beige.
Speaker 4 (16:05):
But really that's only just that's just the Joel character,
because everybody else it's just you know, jeans and T
shirts and they're dressed like it was Alaska.
Speaker 2 (16:17):
Yeah, you're dressed like half like a lumberjack, right, you
lumber sexual.
Speaker 3 (16:21):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (16:21):
So it's kind of out of time even in its
own time it was, but it doesn't feel dated as
far as like, you know, the stuff that they talk about.
You know, it's it's a timeless show, and uh yeah,
I'm I'm excited to give it another rewatch. I don't
know if I'll stick with the podcast because they're kind
(16:45):
of boring, but they're gonna have. The first one was
just the two of them. They're gonna have some guests
on including Okay, what's his name? That played Chris?
Speaker 3 (16:55):
He was on uh, Sex in the City, mister Big.
Speaker 4 (17:02):
No, No, he didn't play mister Big. He was a
sensitive one with the long hair. He was in my
big fat Greek wedding. I can't remember his fucking name.
It's escaping me at the moment. But yeah, hopefully they'll
have some interesting guests on.
Speaker 2 (17:21):
Rewatch.
Speaker 3 (17:22):
Oh yeah, that's a rewatch.
Speaker 2 (17:24):
I would expect other members of the cast to make
an appearance.
Speaker 4 (17:28):
They didn't do like a plot recap, which I'm kind
of okay with. But on the other hand, part of
doing a recap of a plot actually helps walk the
people that were involved in making it through that and
they they come up. That's how they come up with
stories of like, oh, yeah, that's right, this scene and
(17:49):
I remember we did this and that. Without that, it's
just the two of them going back and forth of like,
you were great, you were great, everybody was great, wasn't
everybody great?
Speaker 3 (17:58):
Wasn't the show great? Yeah? Okay, this is an hour
and Janine.
Speaker 2 (18:02):
Turner is, like most rewatch podcast is.
Speaker 4 (18:05):
Bringing up God like way too many times for my liking.
Speaker 2 (18:09):
Like I love scrolls, but I I don't think I
made it past season.
Speaker 3 (18:17):
Yeah, just because it's.
Speaker 2 (18:19):
Intensively that is what you did. That is every Wewatch podcast.
Same thing with the Office Ladies.
Speaker 4 (18:24):
Well I'll give it to so like the guys who
do beet Uh, they are really good because, like I said,
they do, they do.
Speaker 3 (18:31):
A recap, They go through the plot of the.
Speaker 4 (18:33):
Episode, and in that process they come up with like, oh,
I remember it was going to be this, like originally
in the script it said I was going to say
this and you were going to react this way or
whatever the fuck. So we get like some alt like
almost like outtakes and shit like that, and actual behind
the scenes shit.
Speaker 2 (18:53):
Both those podcasts I name it, and they do a
lot of that too, you know that. Yeah, you know,
ask them if they remember what went on when they
were shot and stuff like that. But at the same time.
Speaker 4 (19:02):
Let's say you've got to have a prompt of some sort.
If you just say what do you remember, then everybody's
got the story about filming and they remember, you know,
something that they would share at a dinner party or
something like that. But you walk them through the process
more step by step, and you that's how you get
them to dig deeper on these things and get more
(19:23):
interesting stories. Yeah, speaking of old television shows, we lost
George Went.
Speaker 2 (19:33):
This last week, so that's why he wasn't on SNL.
Speaker 3 (19:39):
To do a I don't know if that was the
only Mike.
Speaker 2 (19:42):
Myers has been kicking around here. He was on Did
you see him last week?
Speaker 3 (19:47):
No, I haven't checked out SNL for a minute.
Speaker 2 (19:50):
Premise, Well, no, I don't either, but something's filtered to
me through like the good stuff I guess filters to
me through the internet, through my Google feed, and uh
yeah it was. Premise was he was stuck in an
elevator with Kanye. It was kind of funny, but Myers.
Speaker 3 (20:08):
Was stuck in an elevator with Kankanye. But who was
playing Kanye?
Speaker 4 (20:12):
Keenan okay, and it was just he was playing himself
though Mike Myers was.
Speaker 2 (20:19):
I mean, if you remember, he was the guy standing
next to Kanye when he said George Bush doesn't like
black people.
Speaker 4 (20:24):
Oh okay, that's a detail that I did not yes,
and actually like put some context around this, okay.
Speaker 2 (20:31):
Was the guy standing there stone going Holy ship you
know that was his internal dialogue. Oh my god, what
is happening right now?
Speaker 4 (20:41):
George Wench, who of course played uh Norm, Norm Peterson.
Speaker 3 (20:48):
I know that his last his character's last name was Peter.
Speaker 2 (20:50):
Ye, I knew lame was Peterson. What was his wife's name? No, remember,
I don't know Vera Vera?
Speaker 3 (20:57):
Yes? Did we we met? Wasn't there an ap us
over where we actually met? Vera?
Speaker 2 (21:02):
I don't. I'm not sure if we ever saw her.
I know she was always a voice anyway. Yeah, I
know she was.
Speaker 4 (21:09):
I'm seeing the I think we're getting some interference from something.
Speaker 3 (21:13):
It might be my device here.
Speaker 2 (21:15):
Yeah, but she was always a voice. I know that
was the gag, right, I've seen her.
Speaker 4 (21:18):
Remember an episode where Cliff like they had to go
get Norm for some reason. They had to go to
his house. It was Cliff and uh what's his name?
The Ted Dance.
Speaker 2 (21:33):
And Roll, Uh, Sammy.
Speaker 4 (21:37):
Sam, Cliff and Sam. I believe we're the ones that
went to his house.
Speaker 3 (21:41):
But I don't remember. I think she was still just
a voice, maybe like they talked to her from the
other room.
Speaker 2 (21:47):
Fun fact that was his real wife.
Speaker 3 (21:51):
Oh really?
Speaker 4 (21:51):
Yes, went earned six Emmy nods in the supporting actor
in a comedy series across a in seasons of Cheers.
Speaker 3 (22:01):
It's eleven Seasons of Cheers.
Speaker 4 (22:04):
He would go on to reprise the role in appearances
on the short lived spin off The Tortelli's I.
Speaker 3 (22:11):
Don't remember that.
Speaker 2 (22:12):
I don't even remember that, and the long.
Speaker 4 (22:15):
Running spinoff Fraser. Did he he made some Fraser appearances.
Speaker 2 (22:19):
I'm sure every now and then on Fraser. Yeah. I
think a few of them showed back up for some
some flimsy excuse, either Fraser went to Boston.
Speaker 3 (22:28):
Or they were always making fun of Fraser.
Speaker 2 (22:32):
Well, yes, and no, he was, but he was, but
he was there every day. He was definitely one of.
Speaker 3 (22:37):
The it was one of the gang.
Speaker 4 (22:38):
Yes, but he wasn't an og. That didn't Wasn't he
a labor edition?
Speaker 2 (22:43):
Yeah, because he was dating Diane.
Speaker 3 (22:46):
Oh that's how he came about. That's right.
Speaker 2 (22:49):
And I think the story is like he meshed so
well with the cast they kept bringing they kept bringing
him back for recurring and then just made him a
cast member. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (22:59):
Well, I think that they realize that they they don't
have a stiff to play off of.
Speaker 3 (23:04):
And that's what he added, right. He was the fucking
straight man.
Speaker 2 (23:09):
Especially too, if you're gonna say you're a bar in Boston,
there's like what two colleges in Boston.
Speaker 4 (23:14):
Right, Yeah, you'd figure there'd be some professor oriole types.
And then of course that also introduced us to what
was his wife's name, Uh, oh, Lilith, Lilith, But I'm
trying to remember the actor Bob North. Oh my god,
I had such a crush on Lilith. She is so
(23:39):
But I mean, first of all, of course, because bb
North is like smoking hot even to this day, is
smoking hot.
Speaker 3 (23:47):
But yeah, sure her playing like the prissy librarian type.
Shall we say if she was type cast? Yeah? She was.
Was she a therapist?
Speaker 2 (24:00):
She was a fellow professor?
Speaker 3 (24:01):
She was a professor.
Speaker 2 (24:02):
Okay, And you know, uh, Cliff with the greatest answer
in Jeopardy history, What do you remember in Final Jeopardy?
Speaker 3 (24:13):
I remember the gag, but I remember the joke.
Speaker 2 (24:16):
This final Who are three people who have never been
in my kitchen?
Speaker 3 (24:21):
Yes?
Speaker 4 (24:23):
Well, technically correct, not the answer that we're looking for you,
of course, appeared on the SNL on SNL Yes, with
the aforementioned Mike Myers and also Smigel and Smiggle.
Speaker 3 (24:36):
That's right, and Chris Farley.
Speaker 2 (24:38):
Are the super Fans are dead?
Speaker 3 (24:40):
Two of this? Oh Yeah?
Speaker 2 (24:42):
Did you get Smuggle? And Mike Myers to put on
the Bears sweaters one time this weekend and pour one out?
Speaker 4 (24:50):
But when co hosted in nineteen eighty six episode with
director Francis Ford Coppola, Yes, then preparing to least Peggy
Sue got married.
Speaker 3 (25:02):
Philip Glass, there's a musical guess right? What the fuck? Yes? Philip?
What did Philip Glass do you want?
Speaker 2 (25:10):
I don't know. It was eighties and co came in
everything a good idea? Did he do?
Speaker 3 (25:16):
Like the soundtrack for Peggy Sue Got Married? I mean that.
Speaker 2 (25:19):
George Wynne had to show up and be like, what
the fuck am I doing here? We have Francis Warp
Coppola and Philip Glass? Why am I here? Or maybe
he knew exactly why I was there? Like you have
Francis Copola and Philip Glass on a comedy show? What
is wrong with you? People?
Speaker 4 (25:37):
Here's some trivia for you? So went is the uncle
to another SNL alum And he guesses Jason, Yes.
Speaker 2 (25:50):

Speaker 3 (25:52):
Yeah, I did not know that, that is wild.
Speaker 2 (25:56):
I didn't either.
Speaker 4 (25:57):
But I also feel like George went I feel like
he may have appeared in more movies than anybody else
from that cast, Like obviously Ted Danson went on to
have great success in both movies and two.
Speaker 2 (26:12):
Other long running TV shows. Who George Went Dancing Dancing? Yes,
like Becker was on for like five or six years.
Then he was on the good place.
Speaker 4 (26:21):
I'm not saying less visibility or more visibility than the others.
I'm saying, for like, if you just looked at their IMDb,
I bet you George Wentz longer than even Ted Danson.
Speaker 3 (26:35):
Are you gonna ask ai, Oh, what's a I say?
Speaker 2 (26:42):
It is not George went I feel it's like right
in front of your face and you're not even thinking
about it. But like who it could be jolly long. No,
I don't know. Remember when you had kids, I think,
real hard. We still have kids. Remember when they were little?
Speaker 3 (27:01):
Yeah, this is what happened.
Speaker 2 (27:03):
Remember when your children were little? Think real hard.

Speaker 2 (27:08):
John Ratzenberger, John Ratzenburger, Well, first he's the voice of
Ham and Toy Store and all the Toy Story movies. Oh,

shows up in Wings Tales from the Crypt, Michael Jackson
Black or White video.
Speaker 2 (27:58):
Oh Yeah, rememories, the Dad tell him a way to
turn it down.
Speaker 4 (28:01):
Seinfeld Forever Young, is on a soul Asylum video, Larry

The George Wentz Show, eight episodes.
Speaker 3 (28:16):
Never heard of it.
Speaker 2 (28:17):
That was in. He was on on CBS allegedly.
Speaker 3 (28:20):
Nineteen ninety five.
Speaker 2 (28:22):
Huh So.
Speaker 4 (28:23):
Anyway, he just seemed like he was the guy who
would pop up a lot in small roles.
Speaker 2 (28:30):
Throughout the eighties and nineties. Yeah, it sounds like the
eighties were his heyday. Eighties were the heyday and he's
seventy six. So for an obese person, he did it.
He got to average life expectancy. He didn't get to
live on house money, but he did it. He got
to the average finish line. And for a fat guy,
(28:50):
that's pretty impressive.
Speaker 3 (28:53):
Yeap. Howld's Trump again?
Speaker 2 (28:56):
Oh he he Oh, he's already over it. He's like
seventy eight. Like he's gonna be. He's gonna be. I
think he's gonna be like how old Biden was at
the end of his last term. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (29:11):
Trump and his his Golden Dome.
Speaker 2 (29:13):
Of course, it's golden.
Speaker 3 (29:15):
Yeah. Have you heard about this one?
Speaker 2 (29:18):
Yeah, we're trying to do like the Israel Iron Dome
thing for us, for North America, I should say.
Speaker 3 (29:26):
I mean, it's Star Wars all over again, right right.
Speaker 2 (29:29):
NASA said they were in. Allegedly they're in.
Speaker 3 (29:31):
They're in on the plan.
Speaker 2 (29:33):
Yeah, he said they want in.
Speaker 3 (29:36):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (29:38):
I always tell, but I tell people. He says a
lot of things like Trump said this.
Speaker 4 (29:45):
Yeah, he asked him. I think he asked him if
they wanted to be in the Pea Club. What you
know that one boy, you want to be in the
Pea Club.
Speaker 2 (29:58):
It's like a middle school joke and walking into You're
about to pee on me?
Speaker 3 (30:02):
Do you want to be in the Peak Club?
Speaker 2 (30:04):
No?
Speaker 3 (30:04):
Okay? Are you sure?
Speaker 2 (30:06):
What if I say yes? What do you? What do you? Then?
If I say yes, what what happens?
Speaker 3 (30:10):
You're in?
Speaker 2 (30:11):
Oh? Okay, gotcha. No one's peeing on me. It's all
I care about. We're not getting all r Kelly up

You're in?
Speaker 2 (30:22):
Yes, Yes, okay, I understand.
Speaker 3 (30:26):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (30:27):
Like where did I read one hundred and seventy five
billion dollars?
Speaker 3 (30:31):
Sure we got that laying around.
Speaker 2 (30:34):
Where we just sounded like, uh, mission to cut waste
till we could fortunate like this. Yeah, and Daddy needs
a new jet and a new golden dome. Let's go
find some waste.
Speaker 4 (30:49):
And of course, I mean we're just we're still fighting
wars like it was, you know, thirty forty years ago. Oh,
speaking of Woody Harrelson, you know he owns the Woods Dispensary,
him and Bill Maher.
Speaker 2 (31:05):
Yes, yeah, and his man boyfriend.
Speaker 3 (31:10):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (31:10):
It was the victim of a burglary. Oh recently, as
happens to many places, many weed dispensary.
Speaker 2 (31:19):
Because all the cash got to keep on hand because
it's still Schedule one. I thought we were taking care
of that by administration.
Speaker 3 (31:25):
YEP. Probably have cash on hand. Probably have, and they
also have, you know, stuff that's easy to flip on
the street.
Speaker 2 (31:36):
Right, something you can turn into more cash. It's crazy.
Speaker 4 (31:40):
Five men broke the window of the dispensary located on
Santa Monica Boulevard and stole cannabis products before fleeing in
a black sedan.
Speaker 2 (31:51):
Always a black sedan. Friend the stranger into black sedan.
Speaker 4 (31:55):
I guess this also serves as an advertisement. The Woods
has a cannabis consumption lounge with a private smoking.
Speaker 3 (32:01):
Cannabis with oh I'm sorry, private.
Speaker 4 (32:05):
Smoking cabanas, oh equipped with TVs and air conditioning, a
bar selling cannabis infused drinks, and a plant film Gonja giggle, garden.
Speaker 3 (32:19):
Giggle.
Speaker 2 (32:20):
What do you must have named that? One?
Speaker 4 (32:22):
Eight thousand square foot store and outdoor smoking oasis opened
in twenty twenty two. Springsteen and Trump are fighting.
Speaker 2 (32:32):
Go figure, yes, spristeen, he's went down in South America
or over in Europe. They're talking shit, and Trump fired
back on truth or Twitter or both or whatever, and
then Springsteen dug and harder and just Trump is Trump?
Speaker 3 (32:48):
What are they arguing about? Politics?
Speaker 2 (32:50):
Yes, take his new album. No, these new album's terrible.
Speaker 3 (32:56):
He's get back to his roots.
Speaker 4 (32:59):
Springsteen released is EP, including remarks that angered Trump be fair.
Speaker 2 (33:06):
First tracks called I Hate that Orange Bastard.
Speaker 4 (33:10):
Includes an anti Trumps you got to sign in for everything.
So the songs included Land of Hope and Dreams, Long
Walk Home Okay, which one was the one that pissed
him off. During his intro to Land and Hope. Of
Land of Hope and Dreams, Springsteen said it was great
to be back in Manchester, calling on the righteous power
(33:32):
of art and music, of art, of music of rock
and roll in dangerous times in my home, the America
I love, the America I've written about that has been
a beacon of hope and liberty for two hundred and
fifty years, is currently in the hands of a corrupt,
incompetent and treasonous administration.
Speaker 2 (33:53):
Here's the thing. He was in England when he said this.
Is he not any irony in that at all? Did
Bruce not pay attention to history class in high school
or what?
Speaker 6 (34:05):
So?
Speaker 3 (34:05):
This was so this was a live EP that he
released then.
Speaker 2 (34:10):
He was just playing a show over the weekend UK concert.
Speaker 4 (34:15):
Okay, Oh, so he's playing the song that's on his
new EP, and this was his like preamble to it.
Speaker 2 (34:22):
Yes, I got you know, you get it every now
and then you gotta you know, get away from the
factory shutting down.
Speaker 4 (34:31):
And maybe he just felt like he had to say
something so that people understood that, like.
Speaker 2 (34:38):
As you know what. The first thing I thought when
I thought that, I was like, were you seeing this
shit twenty years ago about a different president? Like that's
that's like the first thing that honestly came to mind.
Speaker 3 (34:48):
Yeah, Well, can't they be right both times?
Speaker 2 (34:51):
I mean, I guess my point is like everything's still here,
like America hasn't been canceled.
Speaker 3 (34:57):
Yeah, like.
Speaker 2 (34:59):
We'll are still turning.
Speaker 4 (35:01):
I don't know, I mean, I don't he's not being
completely like doomsday about it. I think he's I think
he's absolutely right in what he's saying. I don't think
he's being extremist in his view at all.
Speaker 2 (35:14):
Is he just mad? He did a podcast with Obama
and nobody listened to it because it was boring as fuck?
Speaker 3 (35:18):
Did they actually do the podcast?
Speaker 2 (35:21):
They did? And it was the the internet was not
kind to it.
Speaker 3 (35:25):
But they just thought that they were going to do
a podcast where they just.
Speaker 2 (35:28):
Bulshit, yam Obama and your Bruce, let's talk.
Speaker 3 (35:32):
How many episodes do they end up doing?
Speaker 2 (35:34):
Uh, Renegades Born in the USA.
Speaker 3 (35:38):
It's called Renegades.
Speaker 2 (35:39):
Yes, no, Renegades Colon born in the USA. Yeah, you
have to. Their last show was June seventh of twenty
twenty one. This show only existed for went from April nineteenth,
twenty twenty one, till June seven, twenty twenty one one
(36:03):
one while long, yeh board after three months, I'll call
you Berry, I'll let you know.
Speaker 3 (36:10):
Yeah, well you do know one, Bruce.
Speaker 4 (36:13):
They found the bust of Jim Morrison after thirty seven years.
Well so somebody stolen somebody had stolen it and they
found it.
Speaker 2 (36:23):
Isn't it some dude's garage?
Speaker 4 (36:25):
It was they were carrying out search related to fraud
case when they happened to stumble upon the bust of
the frontman of the Doors. Okay, now it's just the
history of the bust, nothing about the circles, Like, how
did they just happened upon it?
Speaker 2 (36:41):
Oh, they just came into the Paris police one station
one day there it is, or obviously that in French
I took to you. I took a year of French.
I should probably know where it is.
Speaker 4 (36:52):
French missing its nose, which had been removed before it went,
before it disappeared.
Speaker 3 (37:00):
He's like, why why steal that?
Speaker 2 (37:03):
Why the nose?
Speaker 3 (37:04):
By the nose?
Speaker 4 (37:07):
I think because the bust itself was hard to remove,
so they wanted that was like the easiest thing to
break off to take with you.
Speaker 2 (37:18):
When was the nose the noses pre thirty seven, pre
thirty seven, thirty seven years ago?
Speaker 3 (37:25):
Yes, it was. The nose was gone, Okay, prior to it.
Speaker 2 (37:29):
What I'm hearing is Michael Jackson was alive and well
nobody knows his whereabouts and the nose has never been recovered.
That's all I'm hearing. Now he's dead and we'll never know. Oh,
Mike's coffin, We're gonna find the nose.
Speaker 4 (37:43):
You think you think he stole the nose off of
the bust of Jim Morrison.
Speaker 2 (37:47):
It's possible.
Speaker 4 (37:49):
Well, the exact circumstances of Morrison's death remained shrouded in mystery.
Do they most early accounts say the thing or died
of cardiac arrest in his bathtub.
Speaker 2 (38:00):
Drink themself to death. Everybody knows this.
Speaker 3 (38:03):
Drink drugs not a healthy lifestyle in general.
Speaker 2 (38:07):
If you drink enough alcohol and don't sober up and
keep drinking enough alcohol, one of your organs eventually goes, hey,
I'm done. Peace.
Speaker 3 (38:18):
Yeap. Did we talk about HBO coming back?
Speaker 2 (38:22):
No, they're finally realized their marketing fucking miss step.
Speaker 3 (38:27):
Yep.
Speaker 4 (38:28):
Max, the uh, you know, the streamer that we all
know and love, it's a big shot coming It's going
to be rebranding and will now be known as HBO.
Speaker 2 (38:39):
Max going back to what they were calling it.
Speaker 3 (38:43):
Yeah. So and from HBO to HBO now to HBO go.
Speaker 4 (38:47):
To HBO Max to Max, now back to HBO Max.
Speaker 3 (38:51):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (38:51):
Like there was so much like brand equity.
Speaker 3 (38:53):
They're like, HBO go is now your go to.
Speaker 2 (38:57):
If something was on HBO, it instantly came with thatchet
of like it's probably even shitty. HBO stuff is pretty good.
Speaker 3 (39:04):
Yep. Yeah, I mean even Entourage was entertaining for.
Speaker 2 (39:08):
Like three seasons.
Speaker 4 (39:09):
Yeah yeah, it's I mean to take a brand name
like that that is synonymous with like groundbreaking television in
multiple instances, you know, being one of the first cable
television shows to offer original programming. You know, that was
a big deal in and of itself. And then to
(39:32):
have that ability to do adult original programming.
Speaker 2 (39:36):
Wasn't there one year where they just swept the Emmys.
Speaker 4 (39:39):
Something that never existed, right, Like what was was it
dream On?
Speaker 2 (39:46):
Yes?
Speaker 4 (39:47):
It was an early show where it had like adult
themes and maybe you could see boobs every once in
a while and they would swear in it. You know,
like a show like that never had a home anywhere.
It was something they had to be like, you know, hey,
we can do this now. And they were on the
forefront of that of now what is the standard on
(40:09):
the streamers and on top of that, like what award
winning documentaries and documentary series, original movies? Yeah, I mean
it was just Emmys coming out. They asked, that's what
people thought of when they thought HBO.
Speaker 2 (40:25):
Yes, they thought good shit, good TV. They had Weeds
no cinemas and Weeds.
Speaker 3 (40:32):
Yeah cinema Yeah, No, I think that was a showtime show.
Speaker 2 (40:34):
Oh was it? Ye? Yeah? Never mind?
Speaker 3 (40:36):
Did you watch any of and or No? That's really good.
Speaker 2 (40:42):
I did in May. My free time is Sunday. Oh no,
did well, you.
Speaker 3 (40:48):
Saw Rogue one, right, Yes? Did you like Rogue one?
Speaker 2 (40:53):
Mostly?
Speaker 3 (40:53):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (40:55):
I think the season two was really exceptional, but it
pretty much showed the.
Speaker 3 (41:02):
It's not just about and Or.
Speaker 4 (41:03):
It shows the formation of the rebels in general and
really lays out everything that leads up to Rogue one.
So now we kind of have like this really solid
storyline that flows from season one intwo of and Or
into Rogue one, right into right into a New Hope.
Speaker 2 (41:28):
A lot of Star Wars Man, there's a lot of
Star Wars content.
Speaker 3 (41:33):
I don't know, there's not that much. They've they've slowed
down quite a bit. Actually, yeah, it was.
Speaker 4 (41:39):
It's just Season two is really interesting because we've seen,
you know, we've seen what led up to the formation
of the Rebel Alliance, and we saw and we know
the Rebel Alliance certainly from the original trilogy, but we
never really got to see how an how does.
Speaker 3 (42:00):
A rebel alliance form?
Speaker 2 (42:02):
Right?
Speaker 4 (42:03):
How do governments decide to break off from the empire
and secretly form an army to rise up against it?
And it was taking a lot of its story from
history in order to build the Dust Star, which is
all was all done in secret. They needed a lot
of resources, and one planet had a lot of those resources,
(42:25):
or one very special resource in particular, and they intended
to take all of that, even if it meant compromising
the structural integrity of the planet, essentially dooming anyone who
lives on the planet's surface.
Speaker 3 (42:43):
So in order to.
Speaker 4 (42:45):
Do that they had they started a pr campaign against
the people who live on it. So they were called
the Gormans, right, and the Gormans were really they were store.
They were known for their base, the fashion capital of
the galaxy.
Speaker 2 (43:03):
Gorman's is a fashion store, is it? Are we just
not even thinking anymore?
Speaker 3 (43:08):
We're naming I don't know.
Speaker 2 (43:10):
This planet is called Jacon Penny.
Speaker 4 (43:12):
I've never heard of Gorman's as it's like a department store.
Speaker 6 (43:16):
Yea.
Speaker 3 (43:17):
So it was basically a space.
Speaker 4 (43:21):
Analog for the French and uh, you know before World
War Two and you know, the the government started spreading
the word of like aren't these Gormans like, you know,
kind of snooty? You know, they think they're all like
better than us?
Speaker 2 (43:38):
And shit, what are they called the Walmartians? And uh,
we don't like these Gorman people.
Speaker 4 (43:45):
Yeah, and you know, they basically have like undercover agents
that work for the Empire, but their job is to
start a rebellion on Gorman, right, so that they can
to foment or so that they can count on because
if they rebel, then then the Empire can respond with
(44:07):
force and then have a reason to take over the planet.
And once they do that, they've got access to all
the resources.
Speaker 2 (44:14):
Thinking of d White right now, are you or are
you not fomenting an interaction.
Speaker 4 (44:20):
And you know all and it lays out all the
different facts like it starts off with these very chaotic
three episodes where where Cassie and andor it ends up
stuck in a minor skirmish between two disagreeing rebel forces
(44:41):
which are really just kids. They're like, you know, maybe
the oldest amongst them is like twenty one, and they
end up having a full on battle between.
Speaker 3 (44:53):
The two of them because they can't agree on what
to do next.
Speaker 4 (44:57):
And even you know, you have the the actual rebel
alliance coming together, but they're also having to work with
other more extremist groups like Sagerera, who we saw in
uh in Rogue one played by what's his nuts? Ghost Dog,
ghost Dog. I think we're thinking of two different things.
(45:19):
I think of an episode of Scrubs. You've probably never
seen you ever.
Speaker 3 (45:23):
Seen the movie Ghost Dog? No, what the fuck is
his name? Uh? The black actor with the lazy high.
Speaker 2 (45:32):
Yes, which one of us is more terrible? You for
describing him that way or me for knowing it?
Speaker 3 (45:41):
Well? Who else would I be talking about?
Speaker 4 (45:46):
Yeah, there's a there's quite a bit of Sagerera in this.
Actually who you know is? I mean, it's right there,
it's fucking Shay Guevera. That's who Sagerera is supposed to be.
The extremist uh that you know is is. Uh might
be looked at it from the outside as very romantic
(46:09):
in their ideals, but to the rebel alliance is just
a thorn in their side because they've got, you know,
their own plans of how how to overthrow the uh,
the existing government.
Speaker 3 (46:22):
It was cool.
Speaker 4 (46:22):
I mean, it accomplished so much because all those politics
are in there, but it never becomes boring like the
fucking you know, Senate hearings or meetings or whatever they
had in the in the prequels episodes. It didn't get
bogged down in its politics.
Speaker 2 (46:42):
And Jarge are in a royal rule.
Speaker 4 (46:46):
Yeah, it's uh, and it gave real power to those
senators who you know, we're fighting against the empire. Yeah,
it ends up being like really great act, really great
dramatic storytelling, and also manages to sprinkle in all the
(47:07):
easter eggs that you would want to show you. We
actually do get a bit of uh uh k two
s o plaid by Alan Tudic, who is the kind
of snarky robot from Rogue one. So anyway, in conclusion,
I know there's a lot of Star Wars out there.
Speaker 2 (47:26):
As you say, I have no time for any new TV,
but this is.
Speaker 4 (47:30):
Something worth watching if you ever find yourself with some downtime.
My time for TV, no free time is and it'll
October and it'll still be there. That dog has the
market corner down relaxing. That does as long as I'm
not moving from this spot, that dove's not moving from
that spot.
Speaker 2 (47:49):
Or their eyes ever fully open. I don't think that
dog with his eyes fully open it so.
Speaker 4 (47:58):
I've told you that she's deaf, right, Yes, yeah, the
dog doesn't hear. So that's kind of how it keeps
an eye on whether I'm in the room or not
because it likes it's very clinging dog and it usually
falls asleep looking directly at me, and sometimes it's yeah,
it does that all the time, where it's eyes like.
Speaker 3 (48:17):
You're like, are you awake or sleep? I can't tell?
Are you alive?
Speaker 2 (48:21):
You're supposed to be deaf. How do you look like
you know we're talking about you?
Speaker 3 (48:24):
Yeah, and she just pricked up because we looked at her.
Speaker 2 (48:29):
It's true now and I've now witnessed the dog's eyes
fully open this first. Right here.
Speaker 4 (48:37):
That's Nico. She's a sweetheart. He's an American. Eskimo is
what they call the breed which I found out.
Speaker 2 (48:46):
Are you allowed to do that?
Speaker 4 (48:47):
Until well, until about the let's say, late nineteen forties,
that breed was the was a German spits And then
they decided that they didn't they didn't want a German
dog or like maybe German dogs just didn't run as
(49:09):
popular as breed post World War Two. But yeah, so
they renamed it American eskimo called a white fluffy.
Speaker 2 (49:17):
Dog American Inuit. Yeah, change it.
Speaker 3 (49:21):
Oh, yeah, I guess eskimo is probably right.
Speaker 2 (49:23):
Yeah, no, no word now, And the cat has joined
the freight. All right, Well we're talking about animals, so
let's wrap it up. Yes, Hey, we got it. We've
got a couple more ratings, keep coming five stars. Please,
thank you podcast, Thank.
Speaker 3 (49:38):

Aaron yes, and now we're doing a podcast, yes, And
it's all just free form from there. That is the
extent of the structure of this podcast. Between time off,
we generally said the same thing when we the same
sentence when we open, and then the same sentence when
we close.
Speaker 3 (00:51):
Everything in between who.
Speaker 2 (00:52):
Knows, And then steal a phrase from Doug Benson. And
then it's a forty five minute fuck around.
Speaker 3 (00:57):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (00:58):
Yeah, So we're here in what is this studio two
point five version Asmacre two point five, still in the
living room in the temporary space.
Speaker 3 (01:11):
It is Memorial Day weekend.
Speaker 4 (01:13):
This episode will be dropping yeah, and in Detroit in
the Year of Our Lord twenty twenty five.
Speaker 2 (01:20):
And in Detroit that usually means the electronic music festival.
Speaker 4 (01:24):
It's technical Christmas is what they refer to it as locally.
Speaker 2 (01:29):
Oh really that's what they call it?
Speaker 3 (01:30):
Oh yeah?
Speaker 2 (01:31):
Oh wow.
Speaker 3 (01:32):
Well because also.
Speaker 4 (01:35):
So many all the successful Detroit DJs go away, right,
They go to New York, they go to Germany, they
go to all over the place. So for a lot
of us who are friends with some of these DJs,
this is our chance to see them. This is like
Thanksgiving and Christmas where like everyone's home from college.
Speaker 2 (01:59):
Ah okay, I just say, does Santa Claus have headphones
on Molly?
Speaker 3 (02:04):
Yeah? Everybody is. Or so that's so much Molly the days.
Speaker 2 (02:08):
I guess ketamine, what do you leave out for techno clause?
Speaker 3 (02:12):
Yeah, a line of ketamine that's a good like.
Speaker 2 (02:16):
Leave out this line of special K for techno clause.
But I just state myself by calling it a special K.
Speaker 4 (02:23):
That's a that's a good like average party drug, right,
you know, like it's not like addictive in that cocaine
way where all you get Santa comes and does a
line at somebody's house, and he's just gonna want to
do a line at the next person's house, right, and
then just shake gets out of hand.
Speaker 2 (02:42):
You think about it, this is techno clause he does
all those lines. He can beat a k hole by
the end of the night. Yes, like we're thousands of
lines of k.
Speaker 4 (02:53):
I had a night where I worked the door for
a party and pretty much accepted whatever people gave me
for entrance. Let's just say that, Yeah, Dora is fifteen,
but you know, like a joint, a bomb? What you
got there?
Speaker 2 (03:12):
Give me ten and a pill and cold square.
Speaker 3 (03:16):
As I said, night, Aaron, what did you do? You
spout it?
Speaker 2 (03:20):
What didn't I do?
Speaker 3 (03:21):
Yeah, I'm not sure. I don't know.
Speaker 2 (03:23):
It's more, here's the list of the drugs that I
wasn't handed tonight, the three things on it like tile
and all ill.
Speaker 4 (03:33):
Yeah, so this is well what mostly the all this,
all these events revolve around the movement festivals when they
call it now which answer you were just? I had
forgotten it was the this is the twenty fifth year, yes,
or the movement festival.
Speaker 2 (03:53):
The movement when it become the movement, I still noticed
electronic amusement.
Speaker 5 (03:57):
Electron Yeah, when it's noted being dimp it was pretty
it was well, I don't know, there's a whole history
that I'll totally get wrong, but like the first couple
years of the festival are very different from each other
(04:19):
behind the scenes wise, and then it kind of homogenized
into a thing that is now being handled I think
mostly by packs.
Speaker 2 (04:28):
How the last one I went to, the Ford Focus
was involved. Okay, there's like a Ford Focused tint. I
think it was the last year it was still called
was I don't know if it was called I don't,
I don't remember.
Speaker 4 (04:45):
Yeah, I think there was an intermediary name for like
the third year of it, and I think maybe that
was the year that like Carl Craig was involved in organizing.
Speaker 2 (04:55):
I know it was at Heart Plaza. Is still Heart Plaza.
Speaker 4 (04:58):
Yeah, the location is always spend the same, but yeah,
it's I mean, it's just become it's become so crazily
commercial that like, I don't there's very few acts that
I would even have interest in seeing this year, and
the ones that I would they're playing at better places
(05:20):
where I'm not going to have to fight through crowds,
pay twenty dollars for a soft pretzel and you know,
deal with weather.
Speaker 3 (05:28):
I can be in an.
Speaker 4 (05:30):
Indoor warehouse breathing breathing asbestos, like you should be while
listening to techno.
Speaker 2 (05:38):
Use at the movement. I've been listening to the electronic music.
If I've heard of any of these people, what I mean?
Speaker 4 (05:45):
You want to talk commercial though, like some of the
the movement festivals looks damn near underground when compared to
some of the festivals out there across the world.
Speaker 3 (05:58):
They just had. I think it's E d C is
what they call it.
Speaker 4 (06:05):
I can't remember what it stands for. But it takes
place in Vegas. It's in a huge place. You know,
thousands and thousands of people.
Speaker 3 (06:13):
Come out to see it.
Speaker 4 (06:13):
It's like, you know, a burning Man style like rave
and uh yeah. People well, on social media, lots of
people were sharing videos of their time at I didn't.
I didn't catch a glimpse of any music that sounded
worth listening to.
Speaker 3 (06:34):
How am I supposed.
Speaker 2 (06:34):
To read this? I have it on old people's settings
on my phone toos.
Speaker 4 (06:38):
A lot of people on there. You can blow it up,
pinch and zoom.
Speaker 2 (06:42):
Beat loaf is a named beat loaf or a thing
right now? Someone named beat loaf.
Speaker 4 (06:51):
Someone named beat loaf, lof beat loaf. Yeah, they were
showing some of the prices at the this CDC and Vegas.
For the for food, it was like one hundred dollars
for a pizza what not a huge one either, just
a regular pizza. I like would feed you probably like
(07:12):
four slices of pizza. Fifty bucks for a hamburger with fries.
I don't know how is anyone supposed to have fun
in an environment like that? And if you tell me drugs,
I tell you stay home and fucking turn your screensaver
on and get yourself an old X mix. You know,
(07:35):
get X mixed too, Lauren, throw that shit on. Actually,
just go find the video. The X mix had videos,
so you don't even need a screensaver.
Speaker 3 (07:45):
But on top of that, a bunch there was I.
Speaker 4 (07:50):
Can't remember the name of the artist, but it was
somebody who plays at huge festivals like this, and he
was doing an AMA you know, ask me anything, and
he was asked about if he had ever played a
fake set, and he was kind of getting irate, like
what do you mean fake?
Speaker 2 (08:09):
Is?
Speaker 3 (08:09):
What are you trying to say?
Speaker 2 (08:11):
Like?
Speaker 4 (08:11):
What's fake about what I'm doing? And then the person clarified,
you know, have you ever played a pre recorded set?
You know, have you ever just like came with it
an hour long set MP three and just played that
and then faked like you were mixing. And then he
calmed down immediately and he was like, oh, oh yeah, no,
(08:34):
that's standard practice.
Speaker 3 (08:35):
He's like, you do something like EDC.
Speaker 4 (08:38):
He's like, I'm pretty sure they don't let anybody not
play because there's so much money on the line that
they don't let you play live. You come with your set,
your pre approved set that you hit play on, and
then you work the knobs like the mix is actually
hooked up to something, wave your hands in the air,
(09:02):
and so like, what is the fucking point other than drugs? Like,
I'm not commerce, I'm saying for the people going there, right, yea,
I guess seeing other people, like you know, dressing up.
Speaker 3 (09:19):
So I don't know, like.
Speaker 4 (09:20):
We as previously established, I'm not against drugs, but you know.
Speaker 2 (09:26):
He's fairly obvious by the title of the show.
Speaker 4 (09:29):
But drugs are just one of the many things that
pair well with good music and good people. And if
you take away the good music and the good people,
then and you just left with the drugs again, like
stay home.
Speaker 2 (09:47):
Yeah, everyone I know on that list is old, So
I'm old, Like DJ Godfather Kevin Saunderson Craig.
Speaker 4 (09:56):
Look, they're the real DJs, and I'm not saying about
the Kevin Saunderson Godfather of Court. Like, these guys are
not gonna go on and play prerecorded sets.
Speaker 3 (10:06):
They're gonna play live.
Speaker 4 (10:07):
They're probably gonna play Vinyl for that matter, and they
all they put on great shows. Carl Craig is not
like the best DJ in my opinion, but he has
such impeccable taste in music and knows how to like
mix well enough to make it vibe well, you know,
so like they're all worth seeing.
Speaker 3 (10:29):
Well, not all of them.
Speaker 4 (10:30):
I shouldn't say there's there's there's a great many people
at that festival we're seeing, but goddamn it. I mean,
like I've seen them all before. I don't need to
see them in that environment, out in the open, fighting
massive crowds of people dressed like idiots.
Speaker 2 (10:49):
Festival was always good people watching.
Speaker 4 (10:52):
Yeah, I mean, like the first, I want to say,
the first three years I went, and after that it
was like maybe I would pop in to see a friend.
Speaker 2 (11:02):
No sticks for you this weekend?
Speaker 4 (11:03):
No, Well, come on, man, there one. There is never
going to be glow sticks. There's never glow sticks. There's
never any glow sticks.
Speaker 2 (11:12):
That's your autobiography. Yes, it's never going to be any
glows there never was, never will be.
Speaker 4 (11:20):
Those have always been bullshit. But goddamn kids these days
have got it. May when it comes to like little
stupid toys that like light up and also, I mean
just your fucking vape there would drive people nuts and
right they'd be fucking holding that ship. They'd be they
strap it to their face of China.
Speaker 2 (11:41):
Here wre like a rocket ship shows up?
Speaker 4 (11:43):
Yeah, oh wow, no wait I turned it off.
Speaker 3 (11:49):
Is there a discrete mode with no lights off?
Speaker 2 (11:54):
There you go, it's rocket mode.
Speaker 3 (11:57):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (11:59):
There's a whole bunch of shit going on over there.
Speaker 4 (12:03):
That seems like excessive, especially for something that you're well,
this is definitely for young people.
Speaker 2 (12:08):
Yeah, but I said, I like the flavors. I like
that last me two weeks. I like there's the number
attached to my battery life and my vape juice level.
I mean I was using geek items before, but this
thing is yeah like it. I was using their modular
ship at the end when I was vaping.
Speaker 4 (12:28):
I like that their stuff seems to be designed ergonomically.
Speaker 3 (12:34):
Like that.
Speaker 2 (12:34):
This is bigger that I was. I started out with
the one that's smaller, and it's just like it feels
is like it's the same times my headphones kept confusing
it with my headphones.
Speaker 4 (12:44):
So this one's a little bigger, like your your iPod
case you're saying or whatever.
Speaker 3 (12:52):
You got.
Speaker 2 (12:55):
The other ones about their size, and I kept confusing it.
So if you have the one on who lasts like
ten days, I get two weeks out of this one.
Speaker 4 (13:03):
Ended up choking. I want to hear earbuds.
Speaker 2 (13:08):
This is a watermelon.
Speaker 3 (13:11):
Yeah, it would be like I think Chris is choking?
Is he breathing?
Speaker 4 (13:16):
No, he's just what is he saying? Is that Mark
Miron there's a podcast coming out.
Speaker 3 (13:22):
Of his mouth.
Speaker 2 (13:24):
I've been listening to that guy in years.
Speaker 3 (13:26):
Yeah, what's your what's your number?
Speaker 2 (13:29):
One?
Speaker 3 (13:29):
These days?
Speaker 1 (13:31):
Uh?
Speaker 2 (13:31):
Still Drew was did Drew Lane show? Now he's changed
his name for legal purposes. And then so with the
Ace Man.
Speaker 3 (13:40):
I like checking out a lot of different podcasts. I
don't stick with all of them.
Speaker 2 (13:43):
I brought in Shane Gillis. His podcast has come in
to the fold in the last couple of years.
Speaker 4 (13:51):
Mean Matt McCusker this week dropped the first episode of
Rob Morrows and Janine Turner's podcast about Northern Exposure. I
can't remember what they call it, but that would be
enough to find it if your one was curious. And
this is too, also to celebrate that Northern exposure. It
(14:12):
is available on streaming in the US.
Speaker 2 (14:14):
Oh shocking, No, you don't say, yeah.
Speaker 4 (14:17):
No, it hasn't been available for a while, and I
think so I started rewatching it, so I'm only on
episode two. But they used a lot of really good
music in that show, and in the dark days where
(14:37):
it wasn't available, I would just end up torrenting seasons
and what you would usually find was the US DVD release,
which had a lot of the original.
Speaker 3 (14:49):
Music swapped out.
Speaker 4 (14:52):
So instead of the yeah, licensing issues got in the way,
and instead of that pivotal moment when Chris lings the
piano through the air with this home made tribuche to
the tune of Proco Hairum's White as Shade of Pale,
it is now like some Bach piece that's in the
public domain.
Speaker 2 (15:13):
Scrubs one through that too. Yeah, And there was a
big deal I think they made because the ones on
Hulu now have all the music cleared or some shit. Yeah,
it's either on Amazon or Hulu. They got all the
music cleared to do it so well.
Speaker 4 (15:29):
Northern Exposure is flat out my favorite show ever, and
it's the one that I keep going back to and
every time that I've watched it numerous times. I've gone
through and watched this at different stages in my life,
and it never feels stale. I mean, the fashion is
(15:53):
of that early nineties period. You know, everyone's hair is
a little big, everyone's pants are a little baggy.
Speaker 2 (16:01):
And beige.
Speaker 3 (16:02):
Yeah, a lot of beige.
Speaker 4 (16:05):
But really that's only just that's just the Joel character,
because everybody else it's just you know, jeans and T
shirts and they're dressed like it was Alaska.
Speaker 2 (16:17):
Yeah, you're dressed like half like a lumberjack, right, you
lumber sexual.
Speaker 3 (16:21):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (16:21):
So it's kind of out of time even in its
own time it was, but it doesn't feel dated as
far as like, you know, the stuff that they talk about.
You know, it's it's a timeless show, and uh yeah,
I'm I'm excited to give it another rewatch. I don't
know if I'll stick with the podcast because they're kind
(16:45):
of boring, but they're gonna have. The first one was
just the two of them. They're gonna have some guests
on including Okay, what's his name? That played Chris?
Speaker 3 (16:55):
He was on uh, Sex in the City, mister Big.
Speaker 4 (17:02):
No, No, he didn't play mister Big. He was a
sensitive one with the long hair. He was in my
big fat Greek wedding. I can't remember his fucking name.
It's escaping me at the moment. But yeah, hopefully they'll
have some interesting guests on.
Speaker 2 (17:21):
Rewatch.
Speaker 3 (17:22):
Oh yeah, that's a rewatch.
Speaker 2 (17:24):
I would expect other members of the cast to make
an appearance.
Speaker 4 (17:28):
They didn't do like a plot recap, which I'm kind
of okay with. But on the other hand, part of
doing a recap of a plot actually helps walk the
people that were involved in making it through that and
they they come up. That's how they come up with
stories of like, oh, yeah, that's right, this scene and
(17:49):
I remember we did this and that. Without that, it's
just the two of them going back and forth of like,
you were great, you were great, everybody was great, wasn't
everybody great?
Speaker 3 (17:58):
Wasn't the show great? Yeah? Okay, this is an hour
and Janine.
Speaker 2 (18:02):
Turner is, like most rewatch podcast is.
Speaker 4 (18:05):
Bringing up God like way too many times for my liking.
Speaker 2 (18:09):
Like I love scrolls, but I I don't think I
made it past season.
Speaker 3 (18:17):
Yeah, just because it's.
Speaker 2 (18:19):
Intensively that is what you did. That is every Wewatch podcast.
Same thing with the Office Ladies.
Speaker 4 (18:24):
Well I'll give it to so like the guys who
do beet Uh, they are really good because, like I said,
they do, they do.
Speaker 3 (18:31):
A recap, They go through the plot of the.
Speaker 4 (18:33):
Episode, and in that process they come up with like, oh,
I remember it was going to be this, like originally
in the script it said I was going to say
this and you were going to react this way or
whatever the fuck. So we get like some alt like
almost like outtakes and shit like that, and actual behind
the scenes shit.
Speaker 2 (18:53):
Both those podcasts I name it, and they do a
lot of that too, you know that. Yeah, you know,
ask them if they remember what went on when they
were shot and stuff like that. But at the same time.
Speaker 4 (19:02):
Let's say you've got to have a prompt of some sort.
If you just say what do you remember, then everybody's
got the story about filming and they remember, you know,
something that they would share at a dinner party or
something like that. But you walk them through the process
more step by step, and you that's how you get
them to dig deeper on these things and get more
(19:23):
interesting stories. Yeah, speaking of old television shows, we lost
George Went.
Speaker 2 (19:33):
This last week, so that's why he wasn't on SNL.
Speaker 3 (19:39):
To do a I don't know if that was the
only Mike.
Speaker 2 (19:42):
Myers has been kicking around here. He was on Did
you see him last week?
Speaker 3 (19:47):
No, I haven't checked out SNL for a minute.
Speaker 2 (19:50):
Premise, Well, no, I don't either, but something's filtered to
me through like the good stuff I guess filters to
me through the internet, through my Google feed, and uh
yeah it was. Premise was he was stuck in an
elevator with Kanye. It was kind of funny, but Myers.
Speaker 3 (20:08):
Was stuck in an elevator with Kankanye. But who was
playing Kanye?
Speaker 4 (20:12):
Keenan okay, and it was just he was playing himself
though Mike Myers was.
Speaker 2 (20:19):
I mean, if you remember, he was the guy standing
next to Kanye when he said George Bush doesn't like
black people.
Speaker 4 (20:24):
Oh okay, that's a detail that I did not yes,
and actually like put some context around this, okay.
Speaker 2 (20:31):
Was the guy standing there stone going Holy ship you
know that was his internal dialogue. Oh my god, what
is happening right now?
Speaker 4 (20:41):
George Wench, who of course played uh Norm, Norm Peterson.
Speaker 3 (20:48):
I know that his last his character's last name was Peter.
Speaker 2 (20:50):
Ye, I knew lame was Peterson. What was his wife's name? No, remember,
I don't know Vera Vera?
Speaker 3 (20:57):
Yes? Did we we met? Wasn't there an ap us
over where we actually met? Vera?
Speaker 2 (21:02):
I don't. I'm not sure if we ever saw her.
I know she was always a voice anyway. Yeah, I
know she was.
Speaker 4 (21:09):
I'm seeing the I think we're getting some interference from something.
Speaker 3 (21:13):
It might be my device here.
Speaker 2 (21:15):
Yeah, but she was always a voice. I know that
was the gag, right, I've seen her.
Speaker 4 (21:18):
Remember an episode where Cliff like they had to go
get Norm for some reason. They had to go to
his house. It was Cliff and uh what's his name?
The Ted Dance.
Speaker 2 (21:33):
And Roll, Uh, Sammy.
Speaker 4 (21:37):
Sam, Cliff and Sam. I believe we're the ones that
went to his house.
Speaker 3 (21:41):
But I don't remember. I think she was still just
a voice, maybe like they talked to her from the
other room.
Speaker 2 (21:47):
Fun fact that was his real wife.
Speaker 3 (21:51):
Oh really?
Speaker 4 (21:51):
Yes, went earned six Emmy nods in the supporting actor
in a comedy series across a in seasons of Cheers.
Speaker 3 (22:01):
It's eleven Seasons of Cheers.
Speaker 4 (22:04):
He would go on to reprise the role in appearances
on the short lived spin off The Tortelli's I.
Speaker 3 (22:11):
Don't remember that.
Speaker 2 (22:12):
I don't even remember that, and the long.
Speaker 4 (22:15):
Running spinoff Fraser. Did he he made some Fraser appearances.
Speaker 2 (22:19):
I'm sure every now and then on Fraser. Yeah. I
think a few of them showed back up for some
some flimsy excuse, either Fraser went to Boston.
Speaker 3 (22:28):
Or they were always making fun of Fraser.
Speaker 2 (22:32):
Well, yes, and no, he was, but he was, but
he was there every day. He was definitely one of.
Speaker 3 (22:37):
The it was one of the gang.
Speaker 4 (22:38):
Yes, but he wasn't an og. That didn't Wasn't he
a labor edition?
Speaker 2 (22:43):
Yeah, because he was dating Diane.
Speaker 3 (22:46):
Oh that's how he came about. That's right.
Speaker 2 (22:49):
And I think the story is like he meshed so
well with the cast they kept bringing they kept bringing
him back for recurring and then just made him a
cast member. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (22:59):
Well, I think that they realize that they they don't
have a stiff to play off of.
Speaker 3 (23:04):
And that's what he added, right. He was the fucking
straight man.
Speaker 2 (23:09):
Especially too, if you're gonna say you're a bar in Boston,
there's like what two colleges in Boston.
Speaker 4 (23:14):
Right, Yeah, you'd figure there'd be some professor oriole types.
And then of course that also introduced us to what
was his wife's name, Uh, oh, Lilith, Lilith, But I'm
trying to remember the actor Bob North. Oh my god,
I had such a crush on Lilith. She is so
(23:39):
But I mean, first of all, of course, because bb
North is like smoking hot even to this day, is

Speaker 2 (25:56):
I didn't either.
Speaker 4 (25:57):
But I also feel like George went I feel like
he may have appeared in more movies than anybody else
from that cast, Like obviously Ted Danson went on to
have great success in both movies and two.
Speaker 2 (26:12):
Other long running TV shows. Who George Went Dancing Dancing? Yes,
like Becker was on for like five or six years.
Then he was on the good place.
Speaker 4 (26:21):
I'm not saying less visibility or more visibility than the others.
I'm saying, for like, if you just looked at their IMDb,
I bet you George Wentz longer than even Ted Danson.
Speaker 3 (26:35):
Are you gonna ask ai, Oh, what's a I say?
Speaker 2 (26:42):
It is not George went I feel it's like right
in front of your face and you're not even thinking
about it. But like who it could be jolly long. No,
I don't know. Remember when you had kids, I think,
real hard. We still have kids. Remember when they were little?
Speaker 3 (27:01):
Yeah, this is what happened.

That was in. He was on on CBS allegedly.
Speaker 3 (28:20):
Nineteen ninety five.
Speaker 2 (28:22):
Huh So.
Speaker 4 (28:23):
Anyway, he just seemed like he was the guy who
would pop up a lot in small roles.
Speaker 2 (28:30):
Throughout the eighties and nineties. Yeah, it sounds like the
eighties were his heyday. Eighties were the heyday and he's
seventy six. So for an obese person, he did it.
He got to average life expectancy. He didn't get to
live on house money, but he did it. He got
to the average finish line. And for a fat guy,
(28:50):
that's pretty impressive.
Speaker 3 (28:53):
Yeap. Howld's Trump again?
Speaker 2 (28:56):
Oh he he Oh, he's already over it. He's like
seventy eight. Like he's gonna be. He's gonna be. I
think he's gonna be like how old Biden was at
the end of his last term. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (29:11):
Trump and his his Golden Dome.
Speaker 2 (29:13):
Of course, it's golden.
Speaker 3 (29:15):
Yeah. Have you heard about this one?
Speaker 2 (29:18):

thing for us, for North America, I should say.
Speaker 3 (29:26):
I mean, it's Star Wars all over again, right right.
Speaker 2 (29:29):
NASA said they were in. Allegedly they're in.

They're in on the plan.
Speaker 2 (29:33):
Yeah, he said they want in.
Speaker 3 (29:36):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (29:38):
I always tell, but I tell people. He says a
lot of things like Trump said this.
Speaker 4 (29:45):
Yeah, he asked him. I think he asked him if
they wanted to be in the Pea Club. What you
know that one boy, you want to be in the
Pea Club.
Speaker 2 (29:58):
It's like a middle school joke and walking into You're
about to pee on me?
Speaker 3 (30:02):
Do you want to be in the Peak Club?
Speaker 2 (30:04):
No?
Speaker 3 (30:04):
Okay? Are you sure?
Speaker 2 (30:06):
What if I say yes? What do you? What do you? Then?
If I say yes, what what happens?
Speaker 3 (30:10):
You're in?
Speaker 2 (30:11):
Oh? Okay, gotcha. No one's peeing on me. It's all

Speaker 2 (30:22):
Yes, Yes, okay, I understand.
Speaker 3 (30:26):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (30:27):
Like where did I read one hundred and seventy five
billion dollars?
Speaker 3 (30:31):
Sure we got that laying around.
Speaker 2 (30:34):
Where we just sounded like, uh, mission to cut waste
till we could fortunate like this. Yeah, and Daddy needs
a new jet and a new golden dome. Let's go
find some waste.
Speaker 4 (30:49):
And of course, I mean we're just we're still fighting
wars like it was, you know, thirty forty years ago. Oh,
speaking of Woody Harrelson, you know he owns the Woods Dispensary,
him and Bill Maher.
Speaker 2 (31:05):
Yes, yeah, and his man boyfriend.
Speaker 3 (31:10):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (31:10):
It was the victim of a burglary. Oh recently, as
happens to many places, many weed dispensary.
Speaker 2 (31:19):
Because all the cash got to keep on hand because
it's still Schedule one. I thought we were taking care
of that by administration.
Speaker 3 (31:25):
YEP. Probably have cash on hand. Probably have, and they
also have, you know, stuff that's easy to flip on
the street.
Speaker 2 (31:36):
Right, something you can turn into more cash. It's crazy.
Speaker 4 (31:40):
Five men broke the window of the dispensary located on
Santa Monica Boulevard and stole cannabis products before fleeing in
a black sedan.
Speaker 2 (31:51):
Always a black sedan. Friend the stranger into black sedan.
Speaker 4 (31:55):
I guess this also serves as an advertisement. The Woods
has a cannabis consumption lounge with a private smoking.
Speaker 3 (32:01):
Cannabis with oh I'm sorry, private.
Speaker 4 (32:05):
Smoking cabanas, oh equipped with TVs and air conditioning, a
bar selling cannabis infused drinks, and a plant film Gonja giggle, garden.
Speaker 3 (32:19):
Giggle.
Speaker 2 (32:20):
What do you must have named that? One?
Speaker 4 (32:22):
Eight thousand square foot store and outdoor smoking oasis opened
in twenty twenty two. Springsteen and Trump are fighting.
Speaker 2 (32:32):
Go figure, yes, spristeen, he's went down in South America
or over in Europe. They're talking shit, and Trump fired
back on truth or Twitter or both or whatever, and
then Springsteen dug and harder and just Trump is Trump?
Speaker 3 (32:48):
What are they arguing about? Politics?
Speaker 2 (32:50):
Yes, take his new album. No, these new album's terrible.
Speaker 3 (32:56):
He's get back to his roots.
Speaker 4 (32:59):
Springsteen released is EP, including remarks that angered Trump be fair.
Speaker 2 (33:06):
First tracks called I Hate that Orange Bastard.
Speaker 4 (33:10):
Includes an anti Trumps you got to sign in for everything.
So the songs included Land of Hope and Dreams, Long
Walk Home Okay, which one was the one that pissed
him off. During his intro to Land and Hope. Of
Land of Hope and Dreams, Springsteen said it was great
to be back in Manchester, calling on the righteous power
(33:32):
of art and music, of art, of music of rock
and roll in dangerous times in my home, the America
I love, the America I've written about that has been
a beacon of hope and liberty for two hundred and
fifty years, is currently in the hands of a corrupt,
incompetent and treasonous administration.
Speaker 2 (33:53):
Here's the thing. He was in England when he said this.
Is he not any irony in that at all? Did
Bruce not pay attention to history class in high school
or what?
Speaker 6 (34:05):
So?
Speaker 3 (34:05):
This was so this was a live EP that he
released then.
Speaker 2 (34:10):
He was just playing a show over the weekend UK concert.
Speaker 4 (34:15):
Okay, Oh, so he's playing the song that's on his
new EP, and this was his like preamble to it.
Speaker 2 (34:22):
Yes, I got you know, you get it every now
and then you gotta you know, get away from the
factory shutting down.
Speaker 4 (34:31):
And maybe he just felt like he had to say
something so that people understood that, like.
Speaker 2 (34:38):
As you know what. The first thing I thought when
I thought that, I was like, were you seeing this
shit twenty years ago about a different president? Like that's
that's like the first thing that honestly came to mind.
Speaker 3 (34:48):
Yeah, Well, can't they be right both times?
Speaker 2 (34:51):
I mean, I guess my point is like everything's still here,
like America hasn't been canceled.
Speaker 3 (34:57):
Yeah, like.
Speaker 2 (34:59):
We'll are still turning.
Speaker 4 (35:01):
I don't know, I mean, I don't he's not being
completely like doomsday about it. I think he's I think
he's absolutely right in what he's saying. I don't think
he's being extremist in his view at all.
Speaker 2 (35:14):
Is he just mad? He did a podcast with Obama
and nobody listened to it because it was boring as fuck?
Speaker 3 (35:18):
Did they actually do the podcast?
Speaker 2 (35:21):
They did? And it was the the internet was not
kind to it.
Speaker 3 (35:25):
But they just thought that they were going to do
a podcast where they just.
Speaker 2 (35:28):
Bulshit, yam Obama and your Bruce, let's talk.
Speaker 3 (35:32):
How many episodes do they end up doing?
Speaker 2 (35:34):
Uh, Renegades Born in the USA.
Speaker 3 (35:38):
It's called Renegades.
Speaker 2 (35:39):
Yes, no, Renegades Colon born in the USA. Yeah, you
have to. Their last show was June seventh of twenty
twenty one. This show only existed for went from April nineteenth,
twenty twenty one, till June seven, twenty twenty one one
(36:03):
one while long, yeh board after three months, I'll call
you Berry, I'll let you know.
Speaker 3 (36:10):
Yeah, well you do know one, Bruce.
Speaker 4 (36:13):
They found the bust of Jim Morrison after thirty seven years.
Well so somebody stolen somebody had stolen it and they
found it.
Speaker 2 (36:23):
Isn't it some dude's garage?
Speaker 4 (36:25):
It was they were carrying out search related to fraud
case when they happened to stumble upon the bust of
the frontman of the Doors. Okay, now it's just the
history of the bust, nothing about the circles, Like, how
did they just happened upon it?
Speaker 2 (36:41):
Oh, they just came into the Paris police one station
one day there it is, or obviously that in French
I took to you. I took a year of French.
I should probably know where it is.
Speaker 4 (36:52):
French missing its nose, which had been removed before it went,
before it disappeared.
Speaker 3 (37:00):
He's like, why why steal that?
Speaker 2 (37:03):
Why the nose?
Speaker 3 (37:04):
By the nose?
Speaker 4 (37:07):
I think because the bust itself was hard to remove,
so they wanted that was like the easiest thing to
break off to take with you.
Speaker 2 (37:18):
When was the nose the noses pre thirty seven, pre
thirty seven, thirty seven years ago?
Speaker 3 (37:25):
Yes, it was. The nose was gone, Okay, prior to it.
Speaker 2 (37:29):
What I'm hearing is Michael Jackson was alive and well
nobody knows his whereabouts and the nose has never been recovered.
That's all I'm hearing. Now he's dead and we'll never know. Oh,
Mike's coffin, We're gonna find the nose.
Speaker 4 (37:43):
You think you think he stole the nose off of
the bust of Jim Morrison.
Speaker 2 (37:47):
It's possible.
Speaker 4 (37:49):
Well, the exact circumstances of Morrison's death remained shrouded in mystery.
Do they most early accounts say the thing or died
of cardiac arrest in his bathtub.
Speaker 2 (38:00):
Drink themself to death. Everybody knows this.
Speaker 3 (38:03):
Drink drugs not a healthy lifestyle in general.
Speaker 2 (38:07):
If you drink enough alcohol and don't sober up and
keep drinking enough alcohol, one of your organs eventually goes, hey,
I'm done. Peace.
Speaker 3 (38:18):
Yeap. Did we talk about HBO coming back?
Speaker 2 (38:22):
No, they're finally realized their marketing fucking miss step.
Speaker 3 (38:27):
Yep.
Speaker 4 (38:28):
Max, the uh, you know, the streamer that we all
know and love, it's a big shot coming It's going
to be rebranding and will now be known as HBO.
Speaker 2 (38:39):
Max going back to what they were calling it.
Speaker 3 (38:43):
Yeah. So and from HBO to HBO now to HBO go.
Speaker 4 (38:47):
To HBO Max to Max, now back to HBO Max.
Speaker 3 (38:51):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (38:51):
Like there was so much like brand equity.
Speaker 3 (38:53):
They're like, HBO go is now your go to.
Speaker 2 (38:57):
If something was on HBO, it instantly came with thatchet
of like it's probably even shitty. HBO stuff is pretty good.
Speaker 3 (39:04):
Yep. Yeah, I mean even Entourage was entertaining for.
Speaker 2 (39:08):
Like three seasons.
Speaker 4 (39:09):
Yeah yeah, it's I mean to take a brand name
like that that is synonymous with like groundbreaking television in
multiple instances, you know, being one of the first cable
television shows to offer original programming. You know, that was
a big deal in and of itself. And then to
(39:32):
have that ability to do adult original programming.
Speaker 2 (39:36):
Wasn't there one year where they just swept the Emmys.
Speaker 4 (39:39):
Something that never existed, right, Like what was was it
dream On?
Speaker 2 (39:46):
Yes?
Speaker 4 (39:47):
It was an early show where it had like adult
themes and maybe you could see boobs every once in
a while and they would swear in it. You know,
like a show like that never had a home anywhere.
It was something they had to be like, you know, hey,
we can do this now. And they were on the
forefront of that of now what is the standard on
(40:09):
the streamers and on top of that, like what award
winning documentaries and documentary series, original movies? Yeah, I mean
it was just Emmys coming out. They asked, that's what
people thought of when they thought HBO.
Speaker 2 (40:25):
Yes, they thought good shit, good TV. They had Weeds
no cinemas and Weeds.
Speaker 3 (40:32):
Yeah cinema Yeah, No, I think that was a showtime show.
Speaker 2 (40:34):
Oh was it? Ye? Yeah? Never mind?
Speaker 3 (40:36):
Did you watch any of and or No? That's really good.
Speaker 2 (40:42):
I did in May. My free time is Sunday. Oh no,
did well, you.
Speaker 3 (40:48):
Saw Rogue one, right, Yes? Did you like Rogue one?
Speaker 2 (40:53):
Mostly?
Speaker 3 (40:53):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (40:55):
I think the season two was really exceptional, but it
pretty much showed the.
Speaker 3 (41:02):
It's not just about and Or.
Speaker 4 (41:03):
It shows the formation of the rebels in general and
really lays out everything that leads up to Rogue one.
So now we kind of have like this really solid
storyline that flows from season one intwo of and Or
into Rogue one, right into right into a New Hope.
Speaker 2 (41:28):
A lot of Star Wars Man, there's a lot of
Star Wars content.
Speaker 3 (41:33):
I don't know, there's not that much. They've they've slowed
down quite a bit. Actually, yeah, it was.
Speaker 4 (41:39):
It's just Season two is really interesting because we've seen,
you know, we've seen what led up to the formation
of the Rebel Alliance, and we saw and we know
the Rebel Alliance certainly from the original trilogy, but we
never really got to see how an how does.
Speaker 3 (42:00):
A rebel alliance form?
Speaker 2 (42:02):
Right?
Speaker 4 (42:03):
How do governments decide to break off from the empire
and secretly form an army to rise up against it?
And it was taking a lot of its story from
history in order to build the Dust Star, which is
all was all done in secret. They needed a lot
of resources, and one planet had a lot of those resources,
(42:25):
or one very special resource in particular, and they intended
to take all of that, even if it meant compromising
the structural integrity of the planet, essentially dooming anyone who
lives on the planet's surface.
Speaker 3 (42:43):
So in order to.
Speaker 4 (42:45):
Do that they had they started a pr campaign against
the people who live on it. So they were called
the Gormans, right, and the Gormans were really they were store.
They were known for their base, the fashion capital of
the galaxy.
Speaker 2 (43:03):
Gorman's is a fashion store, is it? Are we just
not even thinking anymore?
Speaker 3 (43:08):
We're naming I don't know.
Speaker 2 (43:10):
This planet is called Jacon Penny.
Speaker 4 (43:12):
I've never heard of Gorman's as it's like a department store.
Speaker 6 (43:16):
Yea.
Speaker 3 (43:17):
So it was basically a space.
Speaker 4 (43:21):
Analog for the French and uh, you know before World
War Two and you know, the the government started spreading
the word of like aren't these Gormans like, you know,
kind of snooty? You know, they think they're all like
better than us?
Speaker 2 (43:38):
And shit, what are they called the Walmartians? And uh,
we don't like these Gorman people.
Speaker 4 (43:45):
Yeah, and you know, they basically have like undercover agents
that work for the Empire, but their job is to
start a rebellion on Gorman, right, so that they can
to foment or so that they can count on because
if they rebel, then then the Empire can respond with
(44:07):
force and then have a reason to take over the planet.
And once they do that, they've got access to all
the resources.
Speaker 2 (44:14):
Thinking of d White right now, are you or are
you not fomenting an interaction.
Speaker 4 (44:20):
And you know all and it lays out all the
different facts like it starts off with these very chaotic
three episodes where where Cassie and andor it ends up
stuck in a minor skirmish between two disagreeing rebel forces
(44:41):
which are really just kids. They're like, you know, maybe
the oldest amongst them is like twenty one, and they
end up having a full on battle between.
Speaker 3 (44:53):
The two of them because they can't agree on what
to do next.
Speaker 4 (44:57):
And even you know, you have the the actual rebel
alliance coming together, but they're also having to work with
other more extremist groups like Sagerera, who we saw in
uh in Rogue one played by what's his nuts? Ghost Dog,
ghost Dog. I think we're thinking of two different things.
(45:19):
I think of an episode of Scrubs. You've probably never
seen you ever.
Speaker 3 (45:23):
Seen the movie Ghost Dog? No, what the fuck is
his name? Uh? The black actor with the lazy high.
Speaker 2 (45:32):
Yes, which one of us is more terrible? You for
describing him that way or me for knowing it?
Speaker 3 (45:41):
Well? Who else would I be talking about?
Speaker 4 (45:46):
Yeah, there's a there's quite a bit of Sagerera in this.
Actually who you know is? I mean, it's right there,
it's fucking Shay Guevera. That's who Sagerera is supposed to be.
The extremist uh that you know is is. Uh might
be looked at it from the outside as very romantic
(46:09):
in their ideals, but to the rebel alliance is just
a thorn in their side because they've got, you know,
their own plans of how how to overthrow the uh,
the existing government.
Speaker 3 (46:22):
It was cool.
Speaker 4 (46:22):
I mean, it accomplished so much because all those politics
are in there, but it never becomes boring like the
fucking you know, Senate hearings or meetings or whatever they
had in the in the prequels episodes. It didn't get
bogged down in its politics.
Speaker 2 (46:42):
And Jarge are in a royal rule.
Speaker 4 (46:46):
Yeah, it's uh, and it gave real power to those
senators who you know, we're fighting against the empire. Yeah,
it ends up being like really great act, really great
dramatic storytelling, and also manages to sprinkle in all the
(47:07):
easter eggs that you would want to show you. We
actually do get a bit of uh uh k two
s o plaid by Alan Tudic, who is the kind
of snarky robot from Rogue one. So anyway, in conclusion,
I know there's a lot of Star Wars out there.
Speaker 2 (47:26):
As you say, I have no time for any new TV,
but this is.
Speaker 4 (47:30):
Something worth watching if you ever find yourself with some downtime.
My time for TV, no free time is and it'll
October and it'll still be there. That dog has the
market corner down relaxing. That does as long as I'm
not moving from this spot, that dove's not moving from
that spot.
Speaker 2 (47:49):
Or their eyes ever fully open. I don't think that
dog with his eyes fully open it so.
Speaker 4 (47:58):
I've told you that she's deaf, right, Yes, yeah, the
dog doesn't hear. So that's kind of how it keeps
an eye on whether I'm in the room or not
because it likes it's very clinging dog and it usually
falls asleep looking directly at me, and sometimes it's yeah,
it does that all the time, where it's eyes like.
Speaker 3 (48:17):
You're like, are you awake or sleep? I can't tell?
Are you alive?
Speaker 2 (48:21):
You're supposed to be deaf. How do you look like
you know we're talking about you?
Speaker 3 (48:24):
Yeah, and she just pricked up because we looked at her.
Speaker 2 (48:29):
It's true now and I've now witnessed the dog's eyes
fully open this first. Right here.
Speaker 4 (48:37):
That's Nico. She's a sweetheart. He's an American. Eskimo is
what they call the breed which I found out.
Speaker 2 (48:46):
Are you allowed to do that?
Speaker 4 (48:47):
Until well, until about the let's say, late nineteen forties,
