wasted standing on the roof of a sedan in GPA-5 and you jump and land funny on the hood. Yeah. Hello and welcome to Buncha Vista. Episode 431, I am Ben and welcome to one Star Wars second, the podcast where we watch the Star Wars movies chronologically, but with a catch. We're doing it one second at a time. This is episode 97, and the Lucasfilm logo looks like it's just about to start fading in episode one, the Phantom Menace. with me is Lucy whose idea this was

hi Lucy what do you what do you mean it's just so we do like hour long episodes right because we said that at the start when we were talking about what we're going to do for a podcast and this is my idea

it's been 97 episodes and so far we've talked about I think we had the 20th century Fox logo Lucas film my favorite part of that was I feel like you

actually had to extrapolate the dirt. I think you either got half of it. I think you got, and you knew what was coming. You anticipated it. Try to really like chronologically think about where we're at today. Yeah. Well, I know where we're at.

The Lucasville logo is starting to fade, but only just. Just. Which means soon we're, I think in another 10 or 15 episodes, we're going to get a shot of space. No, you get the crawl first. Crawl first.

I think we might, in like 15 episodes, we might get the top. bar of just the text coming onto screen from the crawl, which is pretty exciting. That's something to look forward to, isn't it, Lucy? That's really something to look forward to. Can't wait. Can't wait.

People have already started posting in the subreddit about almost top bar time. Yeah. What are you going to do for top bars? They're edging about it. They're a phantom menace edging. Nearly four months away. So I don't want people to get too excited about that. But it should be pretty good.

with me is Theo, whose idea was to start the episode count from exactly when we press play on the DVD player, not from like when the movie starts. You wanted to keep the studio logos and stuff in there. Yeah. That was getting through the menu selection was, that was hard to figure out how to time that. I think I'm coming to this from a sort of constructivist view of art

where I think that art is, you know, not just what the creator may, but how we interact with it. Yep. Right? And so we can't skip. We can't skip the logos just like the people at home can't skip the logos.

They're sitting there and they have to see it, right? Well, they don't have to, but they are going to. Typically they're going to, right? Yeah, I think it's hard of the experience. You get rid of the logos and we're already messing with their, their reality of it, their experience of it, and they're going to listen to the show and go,

hey, this doesn't remind me of the first five milliseconds of the Phantom Minutes at all. I think, like I get, I absolutely understand what you're coming from. And I guess also, in a way, seeing the logos does place us in the cultural context of the movie. These are corporate products. I think the difference for me is that, like, that would have been 90 subjective seconds. for them and now for us it has been nearly two years. Yeah. So just like for me, can you maybe see why like we haven't had a lot to talk about so far.

So I've sort of been. Are you not enjoying it anymore? You don't want to do the podcast anymore. I mean, I'd love hanging out with you guys. Like, don't get me wrong. It sounds like you're not really like. They love it. We love hanging out.

Like they can tell how much we enjoy each other's company. That's a big thing, you know, it's just, you know, us sitting. on the couch watching, well, this, you know, you know, three weeks ago, yes, it was just a blank screen because it was sort of between the fade. Yep. Between production companies. Right? Yep.

That was not a good episode. We're not going to waste that moment. It was not like that was not. Some of them were better than others. Okay. Look, okay. All right. And I think you can sort of say that maybe the suffering adds sort of an element of, you know,

like a sort of, um, the, sort of, um, the, worst idea of all time. You know, part of the repetition, it brings out these different sort of phases of watching it in them. Yeah. We're calling it the new worst idea of all time, by the way, because our idea is worse. Even, yeah, it's... Even worse.

You now have to rename your podcast to the second worst idea of all time. Because this is the worst one, yeah. I get that maybe us upsetting ourselves, or maybe just you guys might be happy. It might be in service of our fans, but I don't know if you guys have, like, looked at the numbers. like our YouTube videos, our primary platform, we're sort of averaging between 25 and 27 views on each of those videos.

That's not bad, right? By YouTube standards, is that? I'm not, okay. You don't get a lot of views on YouTube. It's different over there. I don't think it's a very, yeah, it's not a huge platform, I don't think. So I think I'll pick it up once we get into the Star Wars stuff, maybe, because then we can talk about like Star Wars,

because I said yes to this because I'm like a, you know, like I love Star Wars. It's just so far I haven't, I haven't seen Grito. You haven't seen Wado. Haven't seen Wado. Yeah. All the waves. Haven't seen the guy that says you wabawonga yet. I'm really looking forward to the guy that says that.

That's got to be awesome. When Glop Shido comes on screen, I am going to lose it. Let's list all the guys we want to see in episode one. Iber Endicott, Ben Quadrenaris. Mostly Ben. What's his name? Grug Bolt. Dud Bolt?

He's his name Dud Bolt. Dad, you got a lot of these. Dud Bolt. It is... How come you know so much about episode one? Yeah, how do you know so much

about episode one? I think I watched it on VHS when I was like 12 probably five times a week. Big fan. That makes sense. Big fan of the Phantom Menace. That's very interesting.

I had... I had... I had... turn. Now I forget it. What's the superhero movie with John Leguizimo is the bad guy? Sporn. Sporn.

I had Spawn on VHS. Much smaller cultural kind of cachet. Oh, but what a fucking movie. What a soundtrack. What a soundtrack, of course. And, of course, with our friend, Michael J. White? Michael J. J. J.

Jai? Jai. Michael J. White. Black Dynamite. Sporn. A small part of one of the Nolan Batman movies. The director video sequel to Walter Hills Undisputed. Pretty good.

Believe Hero replaces Wesley Snipes. Which, incidentally, the two first black superhero characters in movies, I believe, between the Pharaoh. On Blade. Yeah. Interesting. Okay. Also with me is Andrew, who is very clearly recording a different podcast at the same time while he's recording this one and just muting himself when he speaks. Hey, Andrew.

Oh, yeah. Hey, guys. Still on the Lucasfilm logo, just in case you wanted to catch up. Yeah, cool. I was wondering if we were still on Lucasfilm logo and it's good to know that we are, I guess. It is the more sparkly Lucasfilm logo from the re-releases. Yeah, we have spent 18 hours talking about that. Yeah, we've already said all of the trivia about,

we've been talking about the kerning on the Lucasfilm logo for like seven episodes. It's a nice font. It's a beautiful phone. Oh, it's a beautiful logo. It's a beautiful font, beautiful logo. You know when you see that logo, you're about to experience Wonder? Well, not in our case. No.

Eventually, going to experience Wonder one second at a time. Actually, why we're talking about whether or not this setup works, I do think we don't have to all meet up to watch the one second together before we record. We can probably get very much. I think it's worth the investment to fly me to Brisbane and then back home. Just maybe even if like we hung out afterwards

because right now it's just sort of we play it and then we all split. It's just. We're going to write notes about what we're going to talk about on the show. Yeah. I spend 10 minutes before our hand screaming. No spoilers. No spoilers.

Is it going to fade this week? Yes. Hey, speaking of the special editions of Star Wars, I quick something to chat about. Yes. We've been watching the original trilogy of Star Wars with our relatively disinterested children. Star Wars 1, 2 and 3.

1, 2 and 3. Or if I say actually 4, 5 and 6, my wife becomes very angry. Which is right to. No. That's right. That's right. Why would they start at four? You're exactly right. Well, and we've been, you know, rewatching these digitally released editions. And Elder was saying at the start of episode four, or Star Wars One, if you like,

where there's the crawl and it says episode four and she goes, ah, so they added that in in the special editions. And I said, no, it's been like that since, what, 1978 or whatever. Very famous scene. But, so we've been watching these ones, right? And it's very clear all the parts that really stick out like dogs' balls because they were like late 90s, mid to late 90s CGI. Oh, the CGI. Oh, it's dog shit.

Don't ever watch the remaster. It's dog shit. And so I had already been... The demake version, is that right? There's two. Special edition. Despercialized or you want 4K. 77 they're both beautiful but different yes and they are on Plex on my thing

yeah but we've been watching this right and and like noticing some of these things and talking about them throughout because if you are a person like me who watched Star Wars on VHS and stuff many many many times as a child and then you're watching these as an adult and you sort of go oh this isn't a core memory for me this scene that's happening oh you didn't you didn't look at the the ice monster guy on Hoth a whole bunch directly. He was just sort of lingering out of frame and being sort of scary. But now I'm just looking at him in unbroken shots while he sits and munches on a bone.

And it's much less scary now. But on delving into it, what I didn't realize is that I had this thing in my head of like, okay, George Lucas did his special editions. And that was his chance to fix everything and also he is stubbornly insisted on never releasing these movies in their theatrical cuts right yes and i thought that's bad enough but on investigation he has changed shit a bunch of times so many times i did not realize the extent to which he has changed stuff including like so you can read chronologically how they went sort of ah here's the release at the cinema when they did special edition and then they put those out on VHS

and he changed some more stuff and then they released them on DVD and he changed them more stuff and then they put about a laser disc different stuff on the laser disc cut all of this shit and so at some point in real this was the part that drove me

the most insane was reading through this big chronological list of changes that he'd made and we get to in return of the Jedi sorry no the Empire Strikes Back in the 1990s

7 edition, the scene of Luke dropping down the shoot to escape Vader was modified to include an audible scream created using the sound of the emperor screaming as he falls down the shaft and return of the Jedi. For some reason? To kind of...

Why? Is that thematic? Is it thematic? I don't know. Is it a caulderic? I don't know, but everybody yelled at him. Is it an elite motive? What's going on? Everybody yells at him, and then in subsequent releases, it's taken back out. Oh, you got to stop

listening to the critics, dude. Like, not only all the fucking around, but the like fucking around, having it be poorly received and taking the change back out in future releases. That's insane behavior. Stop tinkering around with that shit.

Can I just double check something and just roll back maybe two minutes? He said that you and your family were able to enjoy watching three movies. I think it enjoys a very subjective term. And that's what I. That's very interesting.

Okay. Before we podcasted, I had like 15 minutes to myself, and I sat down in a couch in my office and listened to three songs that I enjoyed so that it doesn't happen today. So, you know, nice that... Look, we've only done the second. We're only up to the second one. But also this requires my wife to sit on the couch

and ask me to explain everything that is happening in Star Wars the whole time. She's her own. Is it her own? She's like, I want to understand what's actually happening. She want to Wonga. So good. A Wamba Wonga? What's that going to say Wamba Wonga?

Why does he say that? There's that stuff. But what's difficult about this is that I also have to, at many points, kind of say, this is also just kind of, it's just a fantasy movie. You meant to take it as normal and not know why it is? I'm like sometimes in fantasy movies or in sci-fi, they make reference to something that happened off-screen that you don't really have any context or knowledge of.

I've seen things at the Tanhauser Gates. What is a C-beam? What's a tan-houser gate? I don't know, but I can kind of picture it just based off the stuff you're saying, and that's all you need to know. It's just a little colour. That's just a little colour.

I watched something the other day where I... So the... What's his name? Hansworth's Man on Earth? Kurt Russell. Kurt Ross movie Soldier is sort of softly, canonically in the Blade Runner universe

because they make reference to him being a veteran of the battle of Tannhouser Gate or whatever. But I watched something else the other day where they also were like, oh, Tannhauser Gate. They're Tannhouser Gates all over the place. Yeah.

Intertextuality. It is what. Now it is. It's not going to be blown up. I think that this podcast happens in the universe of Blade Runner. Yeah.

I think we should just tell anecdotes about stuff that happened to us in 10,000 I mean, Blade Runner definitely takes place on earth you know. That's true. We have that in common.

We are also on Earth. Is it Neo-Toket? Where is it? Where is, where are they in the future Los Angeles, except everything's been taken over by Japanese corporations as was the fear of the 70s and 80s.

Yeah. Yes. Yeah. And now it turns out that we all understand It's LA, but there's hope to happen. That would be fucking amazing. No public transport.

Also, the exact same movie that he made with Black Rain, which was also about the fear of America being taken off by the Japanese. Yep. What were you doing, pal? Why did they scare you so much? It is Los Angeles in the far distant year of 2019. 2016, 2019, yeah. Yeah, I remember that because in the year 2019,

everyone kept posting about it. And then after 2019, people kept posting Photoshop versions with the current year because they realize you can get just good, get some clicks. Yeah. The same with the Back to the Future one. Yeah. Oh my gosh.

The year of Back to the Future. You could get so many retweets doing that shit. Dude, retreats feel so good. Wouldn't know what year back to the future they go to second ball. 1985. 1955. I wonder retweets?

1885. I wonder how good getting retweets felt? Go ahead. Yeah. You remember dopamine? I remember like an account you liked one of the sort of something awful style joke men. they saw your post and they hit retweet on that.

Or a semi-famous person retweeted, oh my God. Or in Ben's case, I guess, an actually famous person. No, I don't want to talk about that. Oh, no, hang on. Camille liked my tweet. Yeah, he did. Yeah. And he's huge now.

And he's on a Netflix special. He's a huge. About how bad he feels. Yeah, it's very funny. You know what? Kind of, you know, obviously going into the movies, into the franchises and stuff, I'm going, like at Kamal, you know, whatever, whatever,

this stuff happens, right? And then he does, yeah, the special is very funny. I'm sure it's great. Where he's just like, I'm still huge because fuck you, and it hurts every day. I feel like saying that he was the first person to ever get, like, made fun or forgetting it to shape feels very kind of ignorant about, like,

women's bodies are treated generally, like, from celebrities that, like, everything they do is. monitored for their entire lives, but he's like, yeah, little old me, first time someone has changed their body dramatically and everyone won't shut the fuck up about it. But also, like, I don't know, Chris Pratt was a fat, funny guy on Parks and Rec. And they got all ripped for thing and it was exactly the same new cycle of everyone going, what?

They gave him the Marvel steroids? And he's Republican too. Even like a nasty kind of pro-ice guy or whatever. I was talking to my kids. this stuff recently about like body image stuff and all that kind of thing and how yeah we were saying unfortunately we have all collectively come to understand how harmful all of this stuff in the media and body image related stuff is for women and so it turns out the solution was to do that for men too not to not to get rid of the first part yeah let's get rid of the double standard the bad way

yeah i saw um i saw paul rudd talking about getting into shape for um for Ant-Man. Ant-Man? Because if he's got his shirt off at some point in the first Ant-Man, you go, oh, you're looking pretty jacked there, 40-something or 50-year-old Paul Rudd. And I saw him talking about that, and he was saying it was so miserable,

the diet and the exercise and everything, that his treat that he looked forward to was sparkling water. And he said, and I did all of that so hard, and it made me so miserable. and then I am standing next to Chris Hemsworth going, I did all that to look so shitty compared to this guy. Does anyone I hope you needed the money, Paul? Did he-to-been like shredded?

Ant-Man's power comes from his incredible size changing. Got his shirt off for, I'm going to say, less than five seconds in one of the three films. Yeah. We don't have the technology to see G and apps though. Do you guys, any of you guys watch the leftovers? No. Yeah.

It's just like... I got to get on it. It's a perfect show. I know. It's great. I know it's good. I know. I know.

There's like one scene in like halfway through the second season where Justin Thro's character takes off, he's got his shirt off, which for like the first time in the show. And he is the like single most shredded person you've ever seen in your entire life. And it's very unclear if it's somehow in service of the narrative. And you don't really see it again. It is just baffling. Perhaps he looks so good. Perhaps he maintains.

that shred from when he played the villain in Charlie's Angels 2 full throttle. Oh, and he was Irish. He was the Irish villain and he has a shirt off and he's a sick back tattoo. Only God can judge me. He looked cool as fuck. I wanted that tattoo real bad when I was 14. Oh, you should have got it. Imagine you just had that now.

I have like friends that got that followed through on their like shitty tattoo ideas very early that are like, you know, like inner city lesbians that have southern cross tattoos and stuff. Oh, Jesus. Yeah. Yeah. Country living. God, he looks good.

Hey, Justin Thoreau, he's a celebrity. We talk about celebrities in Celebrity Watch. Actually, that's kind of an interesting question. What would it look like if we followed through on the really dumb, stupid tattoos we wanted to get when we were really young? Lucy? Don't ask me. I knew you were going to do that.

That is. so rude I think I would have like good Charlotte in like old English font right across my chest I reckon yeah oh they're strictly hypothetical okay yeah yeah I'd have the Oath O on it but with like the kind of like the

threaded sort of you know the line work they've got on most of their stuff and all the way around my arm and you know what it'd still look dope that'd be timeless for me two words Chinese characters check out yeah Yeah, okay. Makes sense.

I wanted to get the Queens of the Stone Age logo and the Strapping Young Land logo sort of just inside of my hip bones, just sort of right above the groin area. I thought that would have looked sick as fuck when I was a tiny little... One last chance for your prospective lover to leave. Ah, two red flags!

Hey, I still stand behind one of those. I would have got a key blade from Kingdom Hearts, but now I'm actually thinking about doing it anyway. I'm thinking about getting in. Lucy, you've got to follow your heart. I might just do it. Lucy, like three days ago. Which is also on the Keyblade, I think.

I don't even think it was after we had just seen you, but I don't know why it came up. Maddie just turned to me while we were doing something. It was like, why does Lucy have the PlayStation things on her knuckles? Because she's a gamer. And you were like, oh, because she's a gamer girl. She's actually a gamer girl. She's not like regular girls. Yeah, not a fake one either.

Well, look at those tattoos. Yeah, look, some of us did follow through on our tattoo ideas when we were younger. Yeah, I don't know. have enough money. Well, when Ben was saying before in the intro that you were the person who thought of the Star Wars podcast, and I was going to say, which of us has Lucasfilm owned properties tattooed us? Yes, Disney. Disney tattoos. I wish I had slightly less Star Wars tattoos. Star Wars. Lucy, she's got a fucking full Star Wars sleeve. I've got a load of them. I do regret. Just maybe, maybe I could have like one less. She's covered in Star Wars. I've never looked directly at

Lucy, so. I don't know what she looks like. No, you can't meet a nice woman and then start pouring over a skin like Buffalo Bill. You know? Yeah. It's not on. It's not on. People do that patch. They do do that.

Her eyes are up here. Charity muggers mostly. This is from food business news. The Goldilocks of soda. Okay. Yeah. Yeah. All right.

Stiller's soda is formulating a soda that doesn't sacrifice taste. I mean, finally. Like every other soda. Yeah. Well, Pepsi sacrificed taste to get an extra star, star and a half on our health rating. Yeah. Worse it. Yeah, they messed with the formula.

They took a bunch of sugar out and then they put. They're always messing with stuff. Coke's messing with it too, right? They're putting flavors in there. They're putting monk fruit. They're putting zylotol. I don't know. What happened to the good old national?

natural flavour of sugar. Yes, yes. Yeah. Yeah. The soda company was co-launched in 2025 by actor Ben Stiller and food entrepreneur Alex Doeman to reimagine the classic soda experience with a, quote, healthier formulation. Are they doing it, um, RFK style? No, no ultra processed stuff in there.

Yeah, are they going to say, ooh, we're only using cane sugar. We're only using, what's the kind of sugar he wants and stuff? I have no fucking idea. Yeah, like cane sugar, right? Like the Mexican soda. And like ours. They're like Australia as well. Yeah.

Importantly. Yeah. It's just everywhere except America. Yeah, probably. It comes from the ground. Well, we got a lot of sugar cane up your way. And soda's corn. That's true.

Putting flavor first, the beverages are made with ingredients perceived to be natural. An added vitamin C, B12, and D, each low sugar soda contains 30 calories. Perceived to be natural is a very interesting. ingredients perceived to be natural. That's a description I'm giving to the plastic surgeon. I would like to be, after this, I would like to be perceived to be natural if that's possible. But I still want people to go, but I want people to think that they're natty. Stiller's soda is for the person who has tried functional soda and thought,

it doesn't taste like soda. Functional soda? I'm sorry, functional soda? I'm sick of this shit. It tastes okay, but it doesn't taste. tastes like soda? I'm done with functional beverages. I've had enough.

There's already enough fucking beverages. There's probiotic sodas. There's all kinds of this shit. Muscle milk. Strong milk. I guess this soda is performing the utilitarian need that I had for it. But what if I also

liked drinking it? This is just not a fucking way to live. Nobody feels like this. It's miserable to drink this. Also, I'm founding a company that puts taste last. Well, think about it, I guess. We've got other things on our list, though. Yes.

I think, I think, not to get all political here, but capitalism's done a real kind of, a real deal on us in that we, if an actor went and made a bunch of music, right, like immediately we're going to scrutinize it to be like, is this good, is this dog shit? You know, we're going to find out, and we're going to get on on Twitter and tell the actor, hey, you should stick to your day job.

But like every celebrity who has more money than they ever need for the rest of their lives and their children's lives and their children's children's children's lives are free to go and set up businesses doing this shit, doing whatever this is. This doesn't speak to the heart. No. I don't think that Ben Stiller had like a passion in him when he, he was like 16 to be like one day I will sell a functional soda

that tastes okay. Ever since I was watching my parents perform stand up comedy in the cat skills drinking one of the sodas that they hand made behind the bar I've sought to recapture that experience. No, I am with you here

Theo in that like the the only part of this that relates to like a celebrity being involved is that this is a person with money who is making an invest Yeah, to make more money. They are investing some of their money and the fact that they are pre-existing

famous means that they know PR people. Yeah. It means that they have connections already in the world of having advertisements placed. If you see a celebrity's like name associated with a product, you should know instantly that it's pure dog shit. It's going to be very bad. Although the rocks tequila. Not bad.

A terramata? Terramata. Not bad. I was looking at it yesterday. I just ended up going with the other day. I ended up going with Jose Cuevo Espeziata of Silver. Classic silver Jose Cuevo.

And you know what? It's good. Pretty good. Right out of the freezer, you know, a little shooter of that along with your beer and your tacos. Oh, a couple of shooters with your tacos. Oh! We're building the Goldilocks solution.

Great tasting soda that isn't bad for you. Sorry, that did sound. like the, that did sound like something a mad scientist says in a horror movie. We're building the Goldilocks solution. The soda's initial light up included three, quote, fairly classic and quote, instantly recognizable flavors such as root beer, lemon lime and Shirley Temple. I can get, I can already get classic flavors. So that's what makes them classic.

They're everywhere. Also, can't turn a corner without getting a canned Shirley Temple in Australia. A canned Shirley Temple, yeah. I also dispute that something can be degrees of classic. Fairly classic is iconic. You can't say that something is like moderately classic. Yeah. It's a bit classic.

It's classic or it's not. Hey, I've got a kind of classic car. 2003 super infested. Additional flavors are quote definitely coming out soon, Doman said. Have these flavors come out yet? I guess. I don't know, actually. Launched in 2025, okay.

What's so what's so special? Why are they different? Because they've used ingredients perceived to be natural. We're already doing that. Perceived to be natural. We've already got all this technology. We've already got, Michael Bublae already did this. He got his boobly, you know?

Yeah, Bubli's boobly. That's a great name. You think you're going to compete with boobly. If you're going to let one celebrity pop in your mouth, why don't make it, Michael Bubli? He came to the table with that name already, or someone had to be like, Michael, get this. Moobly.

Sorry, by the way, totally fucking called this. Looking at Stillersoda.com, there is a black and white photo of Ben Stiller, his sister, and their parents, famous comedians, all drinking a can of sodie pop. I hate that. There you go. Nostalgia.

It only exists to be weaponized against you, the consumer. I do think, though. I got to say I like the packaging. I like the branding. I do like the packaging. That's a nice looking can. I think that like Ben Stiller also seems to be very dialed into the nostalgia of his youth. And like he did that fucking Starsky and Hutch movie and a bunch of shit like that where he's,

I think he has a very clear memory of the aesthetic of like the 70s. I think he got a taste for Helvetica. from doing severance and then he put it on a can. It looks pretty good. It looks good. Not a bad looking soda. Again. And only 30 calories.

I don't know what that means and no one ever tell me. I don't want to know if that's good or bad or anything. I don't want those numbers to mean shit to me. Doman and Stiller's partnership happened quote serendipitously. Doman was transitioning out of his role with another beverage company around the same time. Stiller was ready to turn him. his soda brand idea into a reality. Quote, when we met, it was immediately clear how passionate Ben was.

Not just about soda, but about building a brand that people would genuinely care about and that would make them smile. What? What do you mean? I don't need that from a can of soft drink. No. Don't make this into like a before midnight kind of thing, right? Like a meat cute.

What's the movie called, Ben? No, that's correct. It's just that you started with the third one, which is the one that's not. It's definitely not a meat queue. It's a downer. It's the opposite of a meat queue. Well, that's right. We know where this is headed.

Where's the first one? Before sunrise. Before sunrise. Before sunrise. Before midnight. They're in order of the times. A PR before sunrise. Well, to me, that would mean that it would start at night time and then go over the

night and then be like before sunrise. But look. That's exactly what happened. Yes. But you said before sunrise is the first one. Yeah, but they spend it overnight. They're overnight. And the streets of Vienna, falling in.

love with each other because he hasn't got a hotel and he hasn't got money for a hotel. So they just wandered the streets. But they've only got before sunrise. A beautiful conversation. A beautiful conversation. A beautiful conversation that never ends. Two beautiful people. Ethan Hawke.

Nine years later. I said anything. No, I'm sorry, please. It's like a before midnight situation he was saying. Yeah. But for PR, but for launching a soda brand. Like, is this what people, is this what, like, they're like, this is a serendipitous, like, meeting.

Oh, you're talking about the serendipity. He's coming out of his job. Ben Stiller's got this amazing idea that's already been done together. They just got to talk. I thought of selling a soft drink. They're walking through the streets of Bel Air or whatever, right? Like... They stop and share a kiss in front of a fountain.

Yes. And then they say, let's start... Let's make a deal. Let's make a functional but tasty soda. Yeah, they... They agree verbally to a co-founder soda company and then kiss on it. It's something that drives me, probably just me specifically wild about. Like there appears to be no limit to how, like, unhuman, inhuman PR text can be, right?

Like they can say things that speak to experiences that no single person on earth has ever had. as long as they use the aesthetics and the cadence of a PR release, right? Yeah, it's like it's a complete free pass to just say sort of whatever bullshit. And no one will be like, sorry, I just read the press release that you put out. What does that mean? What do you mean by having an average soda experience? I'm actually in like, I'm kind of sick of, you know, Pepsi just, as we all know, just changed their recipe.

I'm looking for a new soda, right? And then I was reading your PR and just one question came to mind. what the fuck do you mean? What do you mean? It's a brand people would genuinely care about and that would make them smile. Do you mean that someone's going to walk into the Coles Express, stand in front of the fridge doors,

see a stiller's soda, and go, oh, oh, oh. It's going to remind them of a before sunset type situation that they had and a smile will come over their face. I think they're given a little chuckle, right? Like they've gone, ah. Like a feeling of times past, right? Yes. Like I didn't realize I could feel this way again.

You know the end of before sunrise where after they've parted ways, fuck you. I can't remember anything. It goes through all of the locations that they spent time throughout the night. But in the daytime when there's no one there and there's just this sense of revisiting these places where they had these magical experiences and just sort of sitting with them even though they're now empty. Yeah. You see the still as soda and you go back and look at all the times that you've had still as soda and the meaning of those times and those places. It gives you a sort of Proustian reverie. It does give you a sort of proustian reverie.

Quote, having just built a similar business, I have a strong sense of where the white space in the category was. And it felt obvious that Ben was the perfect person to go after it together. Oh my God. The duo saw a window within the market to bring a beverage that maintained a, quote, soda flavor to consumers who were ingredient conscious and interested in products that were low on sugar. Stiller and Doman helped to differentiate their beverage from other functional beverages by standing on a transparent mission statement. Quote, we're very clear on what we are. Sorry, we're very clear in what we are.

I feel like you're not being clear at all. Classic soda isn't bad for you, Doman said. A lot of functional sodas lead with pre-probiotics, fiber. They're trying to be explicitly healthy. We're not. We just want to not be bad for you. Okay, so I looked up the ingredients and it just has some cane sugar and then some fake sweeteners in it.

That's what this is. What are the fake soup? Are they natural sweeteners though? Monk fruit. Monkfruit's, yeah. Okay. The trend of. Monkfruit is the meta currently.

Yeah. Oh, it's a good. But like, Thelonious monk fruit. Is that anything? Is that something? Okay. This strategy is paired with a retro marketing strategy. The soda's packaging features eye-popping colors and a nostalgia-inducing font.

Quote, in a modern aisle full of functional language and wellness cues, our look is intentionally nostalgic, bright, familiar, and fun, Doeman said. It earns attention. It's highly giftable slash shareable, and it reinforces our means. bring back joy to soda. All right. Soda is not giftable. Hey, here's a little something I got you from the shops.

Unwrap this. I was thinking of you. Oh, you're smiling. Do you guys ever feel like your life would be easier if you were just put into an industrial hydraulic press and squeezed into goo? My soda company puts taste last and cannot be shared. It must be drunk alone.

Preferably lights off. The thing I think about a lot is the kind of denouement or twist halfway through Bioshock where Andrew Ryan, the creator of all of this sort of up and fall apart and where he's tired of everything that he's created asks you to kill him with a golf club. Yes. And... Well, you ask very politely. You think Ben Stiller should do that?

He does. Ben Stiller. I just think it speaks to something. Hey, if this can didn't have nostalgic branding on it, it'd be basically naked. We talk about nudity in Naked Guy. This comes us from W-T-A-E in Pittsburgh. $30,000 stolen harp recovered after man rescued from river in Pittsburgh. Okay.

Nothing out of the ordinary cell phone. That's right. An investigation is underway after a man was rescued from the river near Point State Park and a $30,000 stolen harp was recovered along the river back on Wednesday. Pittsburgh Public Safety Officials said just before 3.30 p.m., EMS, River Rescue and DCNR Rangers responded to reports for man in the water at Point State Park. Officials were able to pull the man to shore and medical care was initiated. He was taken to UPMC Mercy in stable condition for further treatment.

Prior to his rescue, officials said the man brought a full-sized harp, at $30,000 to the river bank before he disrobed and jumped in. Okay. I'm taking my harp down to the river and I'm going for a swim. But guess what? It's not my harp. Tucking like the foot of my harp into my shoe so burglars don't find it while I'm swimming. Authorities say the harp was stolen from a home in Bethel Park.

Bethel Park police are handling the burglary investigation while just pursuing charges of receiving stolen property. So he didn't feel it? He received it? I don't understand. I feel like I've seen receiving stolen property come up in situations that I don't fully. Does that just mean taking it sometimes? Or does it mean that he did come in possession of stolen property?

He knowingly took a stolen harp. And then the guilt of this brazen harp theft made him get nude and jump in the river. Hey, a nude guy. jumping into the river. That's it. That's the whole story. Why did he do that? What do you mean?

Why did he do that? Don't ask White. Lucy. Ask not for whom the nude man jumps into the river abandick his hub. You receive a beautiful mystery. And you're asking why? Yes. Can't you just accept the mystery.

I like mysteries. No, I can't accept mysteries. You don't like ambiguity. I like any ambiguity. Arthouse movies. Gets the end of Mulholl and drive and being like, why? Tell me what's happened. Tell me what happens now.

Two different ladies? Are they twins? Everyone in this movie has a twin from the earlier half of the movie. And their stories are not connected. There's no plot through line. A lot of people watch movies like that. And they post on the internet and it's so awesome. Secret of Mulholland Drive revealed.

There's no explanation. Ending explained. Nothing more humiliating in the world than typing ending explained at a movie time. Yeah. Dan Olson of folding ideas has a beautiful video about exploring ambiguity on YouTube, right? And like how it's so bad at it. So go check that at it.

It's a really good video. Hey, when I was looking this guy up, I fell into a bit of a hole. We talk about holes in the hole report. It starts making sense as you are the best voices calling. This comes to us from KSNW in Kansas. Kansas Fire Department claps back at. armchair physicists over rescue from hole. Are we really saying this?

I guess we are. We're running claps back. We're saying claps back. We're saying armchair physicists. I love that. I think a lot of physicists would sit in armchairs. After a hard day of physicizing, yeah. It's not, it doesn't have the same weight as an armchair quarterback.

Because you can't be a quarterback from an armchair. You can be a physicist. You could be a physicist in an armchair. I think they. probably mean like a backseat physicist, right? Someone who's like yelling out like, aren't you, shouldn't you've used the surface normal there? Dipshit?

Yeah. A Kansas Fire Department isn't having it. The Newton Fire slash Emergency Medical Services Department is responding to online skeptics questioning the rescue of a teen from a narrow hole. On Saturday, two teens were sledding at Sand Creek Station in Newton, according to the department. Officials said one of them, a 15-year-old boy, fell into a pipe about a foot wide. Sorry, that's a really funny image.

A foot wide. A foot wide. That's quite. Skinny teen. Like most people's, like the, you know, your widest points on the human body is sort of your choke points. You know, on the octopus, it's a beak. On the human body, it'd be your hips or your shoulders, right? You're sad ass or your bulging hog.

Maybe your job. Maybe your G cups are getting you stuck up there, you know? That is true. I feel like if you're falling feet first, your hips are going to be, you're sort of, how many people are getting a, like, a lateral measurement of less than a foot on their hips? Oh, maybe a teen boy. Maybe a teen boy. It could be a ski teen boy.

Like that. His friend called 911 and firefighters quickly rescued the teen who was not seriously hurt. The teen was taking the hospital for evaluation treated and released. But when Newton Fire slash EMS post about it to Facebook, it was a lot of it. it was immediately met with skepticism from people who refused to believe that a 15-year-old boy could have fallen into the hole. Look, I'm a little skeptical. But what would their motive be? What's the ulterior motive of the fire department for lying about the hole that the boy fell into?

Or did they think the boy deliberately went into it? Oh, it was the boy. Because it seems crazy to fall into the hole. Yeah. Are you saying the pipe? He's saying the boy didn't accidentally come across this hole. He was exploring the hole potentially when he got stuck. I think the only problem with this theory though is that I don't,

I feel like if the issue everyone is having is with the like ascribed motive of the team where they're saying he accidentally fell in and people are saying, no, I don't think it was an accident. I think he got in there on purpose. I don't know why that would compel physicists specifically to get involved. That feels like more of a true crime podcast listener. things to get around about. Or like geometry.

Simple geometry. Yeah. Armchair Pythagoras. Did you find any of these comments? They've got a couple of samples here, which are not really unreasonable. Quote, they pulled a kid out of that, one user wrote. Maybe it's the angle. I'm just having a hard time understanding how the world a kid fell into that.

It's not that critical, really. It's a really small hole. I saw a photo of it and I went, that seems unlikely. I would describe that as more of an observation than a criticism. Yeah. You know what? Not every question is an attack. Yep.

Conflict is not abuse. That's so true. That's right. Honestly, your reaction says a lot more about this than my simple observation does. Yes. Kansas Fire Department. Another posted the phrase, Believe none of what you hear and half of what you hear.

and half of what you see. Yes. That's very clever. That must make life difficult. That Walmart is 50 meters away from my car. No, it isn't. I disagree. To find out who controls you,

just find out which pipe-based rescues you're not allowed to criticize. One commenter said the whole look too small for even a five-year-old to fit into, questioning how a 15-year-old could have. We need answers, the user wrote. No, you don't You want answers

Need is very strong there Yeah Honestly I'm curious I'd like to know You know I'm curious But I'm not going to assume That anyone needs to do anything

I'm going to die If I don't find out The Department clapped back at the doubters On Facebook posting a quote Follow up for all the curious citizens And armchair physicists That included a new photo of the hole

A new photo of the hole Wonderful phrase Guys, guys, there's a new photo of the hole. A new photo of the hole. Newton Fire Department posts hole. A hole stunts in new photos from new controversial photos. Stunning hole revealed.

You won't believe how small it is. Drainage pipe. It's just a hole. One of the miscellaneous holes that is out. I have found a picture of the hole finally. There are just sort of, you know, there are holes everywhere. I mean, I'm waiting for a picture. For those with us. Yeah.

The, yeah, I feel like really the hole's just kind of one aspect of a pipe. Whereas if it were a hole in the ground, say, it would just be the absence of dirt. We'd be calling a hole. A hole is one absence of the pipe. One aspect of the pipe. Opening. I guess, you know, you can use it.

The other aspect is the pipe. Isn't it a hole all the way through? Isn't a pipe one continuous hole? Topologically. Well, if it took a really thin slice of the pipe and laid it flat on the ground, you wouldn't say, ah, a small hole has appeared. You'd say there is a ring lying flat upon the floor. And it is circumscribing a hole.

It's become a depression. By cutting the pipe, we have transformed its interior hole into a simple depression. Yes. A basin, perhaps. A rim, if you will. At this point it's more of a bump. How deep does a pole have to be to become a hole? It really is a tiny little hole though.

It's a really little hole. I'm not talking about things. Okay, you've posted the hole now. Show us the team. Show us the team. True, show us the teen. Is he a very small teen? Oh, is he a slender team?

I'm reserving judgment by the way because I was a tiny teen. and there you too yeah I'm bigger now I'm bigger now than I was as a teen okay now Lucy okay that's a small hole picture of the hole

and there's someone's like taken a photo of the hole pointing straight down towards it and there's some other I'm assuming rescuers feet in frame the feet of rescuers snow covered ground and there's some feet in frame

and the feet are the same length as the hole is across Yes. It's just, it would be a struggle to get the feet in there, I think. The hole seems to be about the size of a foot. It's about a foot wide, I think. How greasy is the team when you're in.

How greasy is the team when you're in. I've just reminded me of something this photo. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. Oh, sorry, I think you just really wants to hear the song. He puts it in post sometimes. You know, the scene in Lord of the Rings and the Mines of Moria, right,

where Aragon kicks the... the goblin's skull and helmet. Are we doing this? Do you guys know, you remember that scene? You're talking about the fact where he broke his foot when filming that and he channeled the pain of having broken his toe into his anguish-filled scream and having lost Gandalf. That's not...

Gandalf? Gandalf. His friend, Gandalf. Gandalf. That's not what... Oh, I heard that, yeah. Like when he kicked it, he actually kicked it for real, and his foot was so sore that he had to take his boots off.

And then John Rhys Davies, who plays Gimley, he's like, you know, I don't know if you know, there's a Lord of the Rings actors all formed a very strong bond when filming, and they're all good friends. And Gimley, seeing his friend. Where are we going? This feels like a Norm MacDonald joke. Yeah, it really is. Figo Mortensen in pain said, let me relieve your pain.

Let me take some of it into me. And so he started sucking on Figo Mortensen's toes. And then... And you heard this about this? When he was tired of that, two of the hobbits, I believe, were they all there in Mines of Moria? That might help narrow it down or was one of them split off to go to... All four hobbits were in. All four hobbits were in.

All four. The fellowship had not been through the mind. They decided, we shall go through the minds. Mary and Pippin said, I will take your burden, right? And they let John Reese Davies have a break, and then they started sucking on. And this, you thought of this from the whole story? Because the guys' feet were there. Hold on.

And they gendos. Counselor, I need you to let him finish, please. But this better be going somewhere. I'll allow it. I just thought it was an interesting movie fact that not a lot of people knew about that scene. Keep going. Mary and Pippin have started sucking on Vigo Maltinson's feet. Are they taking turns on the big toe or are they small enough to get on a couple of toes like a cat with a kid taking off it?

Mary's on the big, big toe. Pippen's on the pinky toe. Okay. Okay. And then? And then Gandalf. And Gandalf. Yeah, gets involved.

Yeah. He sucks the other foot. Gandalf, my friend. There wasn't a punchline to this? That was the fact that you... It's on IMDB movie, Dreamer. What are we doing? What on earth?

Have you been sitting on what if the bit of trivia about that scene wasn't that he broke his toe? It said everybody started sucking on his feet. Everybody gathered around. and then they all got little matching tattoos to commemorate it. Presumably you couldn't figure out a way to turn this into one of your Tumblr short stories or into an intro, so you were just sort of waiting to find a way. This is exactly how I pictured it. Oh, okay.

It turns out its interior diameter was 11 inches, roughly on par with the department's original estimate of 12 inches. That is pretty close. It's pretty tiny. That's pretty tiny. Newton fire slash EMS insisted that the person in the pipe was 15 and said it was focused on getting him out, not how he managed to get in.

It's just he would have had to fall straight down. Yeah. Yeah. Like both legs, both legs, Mario style. Classic Mario pipe. I think they were doing a classic Mario pipe joke prank.

Piping down like Mario. Piping down like Mario. I think it's the new teen trend. It's where you'd like jump like Mario and try to like slide down a pipe in one go. I'm doing a Mario pipe down. You've got to make the noise before you do it. Teens are piping down to the underworld like Mario. Yeah.

You hear a teen outside. The music's going, da-da-da-da-da-da-da-na. There's a teen outside being like, woo-hoo! You've got to go help him. He's getting to the third jump in the combo. He's going to flip. Quote, family members have since said that he fell feet. Jesus Christ.

Family members have since said that he fell feet first from his sloth. The department wrote. Feet first from his sled? Family members said he fell feet first from his sled. You're saying he was moving before he hit this thing? He went from a straight sled into a Super Mario pipe down. Honestly, these answers only raise more questions. Yeah, like how?

How come? Yeah, and what? How happened? What? What? What are me? What? Those are my questions.

Uh? Uh. Not really a question, but you can understand that I'm curious. Because again, you've got to be needle dropping into this thing. Yes. You've got to be a string bean needle drop. It's the Super Mario Pipe Down challenge. You've got to be string B needle drop to Super Mario Pipe Down.

And it helps. You don't have to be, no. Yeah, but it. Quote, it was fortunate he didn't fall farther down. Two firefighters were able to grab his hands and pull him out by hand. He got that. from his string big needle drop into a Super Mario pipe down that it was only hands atop the pipe.

Yeah, I saw that. It was just his hands atop the pipe. That is terrifying. That's a nightmare. That's a light-inch pipe. You got a teen and a tiny pipe and only his fingers are peeping out the top. Oh, we tiny piped a teen?

Well, the teen clearly tiny piped himself. It's sled velocity. What are we thinking? Sled hit a branch. And he falls off. He goes flying. The sled goes exactly up to a 90-degree angle. He's gone straight down.

Oh, I've got, no, it's more of like a Bugs Bunny or Mr. Magoo type situation where he's coming down the hill too fast on his sled. He goes up like a bit of an incline, kind of a ramp, and he shoots up, hits a tree branch, part of the sled gets caught and it swings around. Woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo. Yes. He fires off straight up, comes straight down.

Vertical. Yeah, and goes, doy-o-yo-y-y-w-w-w-w. Yeah. It definitely goes, as he's falling in for sure. I think it all goes. That goes without saying. Can I recount to you in slightly more detail the Mr. Magoo situation that happened to be the other day?

Oh yeah. You were Magooopin. I'm Magood so fucking hard. So fucking embarrassing. So for you, the listener, I was mowing the lawn the other day, as I very rarely do and decided to tackle. There's a bunch of weeds from an empty lot next to us that are growing onto our property. And I was trying to do this with my friend's piece of shit lawn mower. my piece of shit lawnmower doesn't work.

Sounds like a real piece of shit. It was a piece of shit situation. It was a hot as fuck day. I am like dying. I'm getting through so much weeds that I can't use the catcher on the back of the lawnmower because it just instantly fills up. So my driveway is fucking covered in like grass clippings and weed clippings and stuff. So I have turned the lawnmower off, left it on the driveway and then just started sweeping

stuff up with my back to the lawnmower and to the lawnmower and to the, very busy road that is directly in front of our house. While I'm doing this, I start hearing the sound of frantic horn honking, which is not an unusual sound for the front of our house because we live next to a main road. That shit just happens all the time. And also, anytime I'm doing gardening or whatever at the front of the house, someone I know inevitably will drive past and start honking at me. Just to say hi.

Just to say hello. So I hear it, but I don't turn. turn around because I'm like, whatever, it's probably fucking Grant. I ignore it. The horn honking continues more frantically, and then I realize that it is coming from a stationary car, which is unusual due to the busy nature of the road in front of our house. Like, I'm not hearing it. It's not duplering past me or anything.

It's kind of pointed at you. Yeah, it seems pointed at that stage. So I turn around, and there is two lanes. of traffic backed up like a little way downhill from where my house is. There's probably like 20 cars there. And I'm like, oh, that's weird. What's going on? And then realize that the woman that is honking is like waving to try and get my attention

and pointing at something. And I'm like, huh, where's the lawnmower gone? The lawnmower has rolled backwards off my driveway onto that road. It has made the right turn that it needs to go downhill. and has started marining towards the cars that have luckily stopped in time. But I am now having to fucking chase after this thing to try and catch it while it is weaving. And everyone's watching you. Everyone is fucking watching me.

The people that work at like the place across the road from where we live are all standing there watching me. It's actually so brave of you to share this. It was fucking humiliating. It was weaving like just because it was rocking still, I guess. So it was going lane to lane. So I'm like running in like a side to side motion trying to catch up with it. I'm not a very dignified runner.

I'm also trying to make like, who knew kind of faces to everyone that can see this because I'm like, we can't be trying to play it cool while you're doing this. I want them to acknowledge that it's silly and not serious. You've just got to know that they went home and they told their friends and loved ones about this. Absolutely. You saw the funniest thing today. saw a big sweaty guy chasing after a fucking lawnmower. Luckily when it like gets to the bottom of the hill and very nearly hit someone's car,

which by the way, there are two cars that it could hit that it is apparently trying to choose between, one of which has like a full on bullbar and one which doesn't. Or I'm just like, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, please hit the bullbar. Please hit the bullbar. It ends up careening off the road just before it hits one of the cars, smashes into the gutter, and I sort of catch up to it, get it off the road.

and then the woman whose car at nearly hit, who was the woman that was honky at me, who managed to like see it in time, stop her car and all the other cars. I give her like a, wow, wasn't that crazy kind of look? Like, wow,

we're all in this together. And she just looks at me and just like shakes her head and disgust. And then joins off. You bitch. That's a rap. It was no good. It felt very bad.

Oh. And like, that's, what did she think you were, I was careless. I was lawnmower careless. All right. I'm the lawnmower man. I guess. A little mower man to some people now in their stories.

I feel like that the part of the end of that interaction that you were describing that is, I think, a more familiar experience. Maybe to like parents is sometimes you're in public and there's something, some sequence of events again that's happened with your child. And you sort of think to yourself, ah, maybe to someone else looking at this, I'm looking like an irresponsible. responsible parent like right now, you know? Because in a lot of cases with people, they are very understanding of stuff that is happening with small kids. And a lot of people, very kindly, at least in Australia, I don't know what's like in other places,

will make some like taking the pressure off remark to acknowledge with you. Like, ah, it's hard, isn't it? Oh, one of those days, huh? They like that sometimes. Just look at someone and shake your head in a way that says, hey, life is a highway. Yeah. This stuff happens. You got to hit someone with the who knew?

It's a crazy world out there. Sometimes it happens. It happens, doesn't it? You got to give people that it happens. Hit them with the it happens. You got to empathize. Fuck. Don't look at me like I'm an evil man.

Because a lawnmower rolled down my not that. It's a flat driveway mostly. The wind got it. You know what's a great, great nonverbal communication for exactly what you're describing, Ben, is the classic, yikes. You know? A bit of a grimace, your shoulders up, you know.

And that way you're acknowledging, that was a bit dicey for a minute there, wasn't it? But you are neither endorsing nor condemning. Yes. Think about the mimes you're doing, folks. Or open the window. Open the window and say you can't park there, mate. Open the window.

Have some fun with that. Fuck, I'm so sorry for having one more. anecdote. We're definitely wrapping this episode up. So last night at like 10.30, there was the third car accident in a month out the front of our house. And like everyone was physically fine. One woman, the woman who caused the accident seemed like she was maybe having either a mental episode or was on stimulants or both. But she was clearly having a very bad mental breakdown sitting in her car immediately after she'd crashed into this other guy. And like everyone's very stressed. We've come out of the house, check that everyone's okay. We're trying to get her to come sit down, like off the road,

blah, blah, blah. Someone driving past sees this happening, sees this woman like punching her steering wheel and like freaking out inside her car and yells out, you can't park there, mate, out of the window. I wanted to fucking throw a brick at that guy. That's fucked. What is fucking wrong with you people? Jesus. They should have yelled that at you. That's the correct situation. Don't yell at the woman having an episode, yelling at the fucking sweaty, beardy man chasing after an errant lawnmower. Christ.
