Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang - On The Seventh Day of Culture... June 20th, 1975: JAWS Eats The Girls

Episode Date: December 18, 2020

This episode, which is really a prayer, is a time capsule recorded just hours before the release of Tayla Swiff's evermore. It is also going to go down in history as one of the most thought-provoking... discussions of all podcast time. The central question? Is it weirder that Bowen hasn't seen Jaws (despite having once played him/her on stage) or that Matt hasn't seen The Sound of Music (despite being Matt)? What was intended as a discussion on the cultural impact of Jaws eating, nay, devouring the girls quickly turns into an exploration on pop culture's impact relative to location and broader cultural exposure. Also, the famous score of the blockbuster film as a "sexual call to the dance floor", how the hoopla around the movie took sharks to the top of the charts, and the reveal that neither of the boys have seen The Godfather. All this, Disney's recent announcements, the incumbent "stan" vs. the challenger "simp", and a brief, tasteful moment of appreciation for Carrie Underwood. You're gonna need a bigger...hug :) Learn more about your ad-choices at https://www.iheartpodcastnetwork.comSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

It's the second half of Days of Culture. See, here's the deal. If you're thinking of a week as in seven days, then baby, we're closing out the first week. But if you're thinking about like a weekday
Starting point is 00:02:45 such i don't know i really don't know how it works out can i tell you something what i'm a little kerbobble and you're fanning yourself reader he is fanning himself what's up um well a few things happened today one i ordered a candle in the mail and i opened it up and the glass was broken everywhere and now my my my fraser fur candle is on not usable i'm so sorry and so the other thing is hans isn't in the chat today why does that perturb you so well i just like his energy like i like when he like you know can chimes in and you know you're in love just whatever i have feelings for him so do i today do you know who texted us pictures of his wedding?

Starting point is 00:03:29 Gorgeous wedding. And he and his wife look so stunning together. Yeah. So wonderful. We miss him. We just miss him is all. So I'm happy that you share this with me. I knew there was like a funk and now we can put a name to it.
Starting point is 00:03:42 It's just like Hans not being here. Hans funk. Also today, I'm a little bit like, sort of like, I don't know what to expect because today, like we're only a few hours away from evermore. Oh yeah. We're recording this on December 10th.
Starting point is 00:03:53 We're three hours away from evermore being released. How, how, well, I wanted to ask you like, what's the deal? Like, I feel like we usually would be,
Starting point is 00:04:01 we'd be so excited, but I feel like there's some trepidation in the air. Are you trepidatious? A little bit too oh no well i mean i texted you before and i was like oh my god can you believe and your energy was very like no no no no that was just i'm so sorry gruna it was no but honestly i really know you don't have to don't don't take on mine what is your no I'm telling you, I'm like, I wouldn't describe the way I feel about her album coming out as excited.
Starting point is 00:04:30 I would say I'm, I'm a border. I'm trepidatious. I'm borderline concerned. I don't want these to be folklore. Okay. And thank you for saying that. My queen queen. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:04:41 Because I think folklore is so special. Truly like folklore came at a time like think about it like and like middle of july like we were all sort i mean like we're all sort of thawing from like the initial quarantine like trauma and then it felt like an exhale it felt like an exhale made me think like it was i I'm still processing it, honestly. I think we're the only Swifties who feel this way. I think a lot of Taylor Swift nation, Taylor nation feels this way.
Starting point is 00:05:12 I mean, a lot of Taylor nation, I think is sort of, of course, we're always fever. And by the way, when this episode comes out, by the time people hear this, the verdict will be out on whether or not this was Folklore B-side city or another gorgeous creation.
Starting point is 00:05:28 And I believe that we're very sort of susceptible to getting both. So I'm praying for art. I'm always praying for art. I see. Later one time I walked in on Matt Rogers on his knees. On my knees. Genuflecting, if you can believe it. Hands to the floor.
Starting point is 00:05:48 I was. And then he raised them to the sky. And then I raised them. I did. I raised them high. And it was only then that I was able to really call out. Like, I'm praying for art. Please, art.
Starting point is 00:06:01 And that day, what happened? Folklore. That was the day of folklore. If it's good, know that I prayed after this episode and if it's bad, know that I chose to save my prayers. Girl, you might as well throw a dart to the board
Starting point is 00:06:15 and use up one of these prayers on one of the 50 new Star Wars things that have been announced today. Did you see this? I think that some of them show potential. I think that some of them show art potential and I might pray for them, such as the Rosario Dawson Ahsoka.
Starting point is 00:06:32 I saw AHS in that font and I was like, is this a Star Wars American horror story? And then I was like, oh, okay, okay. Baby, it's a Rosario Dawson vehicle. You as someone who is a Star Wars fan and as someone who, well, you just said something so interesting, which is some of them show potential, which, like, is that what we're settling
Starting point is 00:06:49 for now? Like, 12 new products get announced, and we're like, yeah, some of those look good. Shouldn't they all look good? Well, at a certain point, it's just going to be like... Somebody said this on Twitter today, but it's just going to be like TV and Star Wars. It's like regular TV and then Star Wars. It's like Marvel.
Starting point is 00:07:06 And it's just... I was kind of shocked when I saw it. I mean, literally. It feels even more... They're taking over completely. I mean, it's like the universes are going to be created. I think we got to be careful with this Disney girl. This Disney girl walked in and
Starting point is 00:07:22 we have been suspicious. This young girl Disney... This is my... This is sort of goes back to my concern though with the taylor evermore of it all because it's just like is this just gonna are these gonna be actual stories that we care about because like we're able to invest in actual real good new content or is it gonna feel like star wars b-sides yeah you shouldn't give just because you can give like what you give as yes i want to say as an artist or as a conglomerate should be should be i don't know like i don't i don't want i don't need star wars for the sake of star wars i i think that that's that's the point that i'm making don't give me b-sides of the shit i already liked like i'd rather maybe this is just me be someone that discovers something new i also saw they're making new indiana jones stuff
Starting point is 00:08:15 um what i what i thought was cool was like i hadn't heard of a lot of the characters before but then some of it is like land you know you know what I mean? And this, that, the other thing, which is cool. Donald will be great. I think let's go back to evermore. Um, I will say before, before we move on from star Wars though, peripherally related, um,
Starting point is 00:08:35 Marvel, but I am getting excited about this new Spider-Man movie though. Oh yeah. Because it sounds like a sort of drag event. Dr. Strange is doing like another sequel. That's like about multiverses even more than the original. But then, but you know how like Jamie Foxx
Starting point is 00:08:51 got signed on to this third one with Tom Holland. He was the villain in Spider-Man, the amazing Spider-Man 2. So he was, so he was Andrew Garfield's Spider-Man villain. And then for Alfred Molina to come back in as Tobey Maguire's Spider-Man villain, And then for Alfred Molina to come back in as Tobey Maguire's Spider-Man villain, someone picked up a hint in Spider-Man 2, like J.J. Amundsen is trying to come up
Starting point is 00:09:13 with a name for Doc Ock, and then someone pitches him Doctor Strange, and he goes, that's already been taken. So people in Marvel World are like, wait a minute, that's a hint. Or that's not a hint, it's just a really clever tie-in where it's like, Doctor Strange already
Starting point is 00:09:25 exists in Tobey Maguire universe, so that means that there's portals for Doctor Strange in Tom Holland universe to open a portal, multiverse portal there for Alfred Molina to come in and Jamie Foxx to come in from Andrew Garfield
Starting point is 00:09:42 multiverse, but then potentially there's rumors that Toby and Kirsten are signing on for this one. I saw that Kirsten was rumored, and that so was Emma Stone. And I know Zendaya is currently shooting it. It would be like an Avengers-style
Starting point is 00:09:57 thing, but it's like... That kind of is very cool to me. No, it appeals to me. I mean, look, I love stunts. I love a stunt cast moment like we just talked about on our episode with joel and mitra when someone comes in and they helicopter and haha moment yes that's what you need and so a full movie that's about that yeah i just think what and speaking no no no i'm just likeirsten as MJ again, next to Zendaya as MJ.
Starting point is 00:10:26 Get out. Forget it. Yeah, please. I mean, yeah. Cut back from us earlier saying, I don't know about Disney, to us fully simping
Starting point is 00:10:33 for fucking Spider-Man, for all the Spider-Man cash cows to come together. Whatever. We're dumb. Can I ask a question before we move on? What is simping?
Starting point is 00:10:44 It's another word for Stan word because i feel like simping came in okay but what does it mean it's the same grammar rules as stan it's like i simp you in that shirt a hundred percent i understand what it means and how it's used and i'm ready to start doing that but i as someone who is in the culture want to know where the culture i'm using comes from so stan i know comes from eminem song stan but what where does i don't know the etymology on it fully i think it's more i honestly am embracing it as a more general use hopefully i think i believe it's like maybe it's not meant to be this functionally but i feel like it is you were very early on the whole stan is using stan an eminem term is a bummer for queer people right and i still do it because it's become so interesting i think simp is our way out it's our
Starting point is 00:11:33 little exit strategy it's our hatch door yeah i love i think you can do that okay so and i'll be honest with you stan has become like um a part of the vocabulary of our life in a way that it almost rolls off the tongue now so it'll be hard but I do like saying simp more I simp like to me that is a more satisfying landing place you want to know when
Starting point is 00:11:57 I knew that Stan was kind of over for me when it'll never be really over Katy Perry but I you know would like pick up on people like our lovely most recent guest, Mitra Jahari, just kind of making fun of it. And it's so funny.
Starting point is 00:12:14 And literally, our second week back at work, I don't think you would mind if I said this, but I was just kind of standing next to Kyle for a bit, and we were just doing bits, and then in one of his trademark Kyle voices, he goes, we stand. And I was like,
Starting point is 00:12:27 Oh my God. You know, now that not, not now that it's become humor, I must use it as meta humor or as like a way that to ironically like signal that he's someone else. I'm just like, okay, we're done.
Starting point is 00:12:40 We're done. So I think, I think RIP Stan, welcome. Sim simp it's a rule of culture it's a little culture number because it's later on it's a little cut number 203 r.i.p r.i.p stan welcome welcome or it's another way of saying um stan is dead long live long live simp love it stan is dead long live simp and actually replace the rule of culture with that everyone okay readers at home people that are logging this it is so decided so the seventh day of culture the thing about it is um this was huge culture this was blockbuster culture
Starting point is 00:13:16 and so we everything we've been talking about is really just kind of blockbuster culture i mean taylor's releasing an album that's blockbuster culture i mean this idea of the spider-man 3 stunt cast and so that we can help create this communal um culture moment that i think we saw truly created by a certain film that swam into the top of the box office in the mid-1970s are you ready for it yes june 20th 1975 jaws eat the girls talk about this this was big attacking fish culture this was cuckoo you never wanted to go in the water again culture this was soundtrack culture girl that is the most beautiful song the way i'm rolling my whole body the way that i sexually came oh yeah the way it's literally a beat drop it to the ground while this plays i'm telling you you feel if you embrace this song as a sort of
Starting point is 00:14:41 sexual call to the dance floor, amazing things will happen. It's a floor filler. The Jaws theme song is ultimately a floor filler. That's a rule of culture. Number 99. The Jaws theme song is ultimately a floor filler. A floor filler. Babe.
Starting point is 00:15:01 Oh, babe. Has there been any remixes? I'm sure there have been remixes. It's a 45-year-old movie. there have been remixes it's it's an all it's a 45 year old movie i have a confession to make it's one of those go girl shut up three words bitch never seen it do you hate me do you want me to sort of tell you no i don't hate you what i don't hate you at all i just feel like i need to fill in a blank for you can i sort of tell you what happens in Jaws?

Listen to Dudes on Dudes on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Hey, everybody. It's Matt Rogers. Back when I was a server, I was one bad day away from a huge personal crisis.
Starting point is 00:17:05 Thankfully, Giving Kitchen is here to serve those that serve us. Giving Kitchen is a nonprofit helping any food service worker who gets hurt, gets sick, loses a family member or their housing. That's giving relief.

Together, we are Giving Kitchen. We help food service workers. I felt NK, and this is Basket Case. So I basically had what back in the day they would call a nervous breakdown. I was crying and I was inconsolable. It was just very big, sudden swaps of different meds.
Starting point is 00:18:01 What is wrong with me? Oh, look at you giving me therapy, girl. Finally, a show for the mentally ill girlies. On Basket Case, I talk to people about what happens when what we call mental health is shaped by the conditions of the world we live in. Because if you haven't noticed, we are experiencing some kind of conditions
Starting point is 00:18:18 that are pretty hard to live with. But if you struggle to cope, the society that created the conditions in the first place will tell you there's something wrong with you. And it will call you a basket case. Listen to Basket Case every Tuesday on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. This is the movie Jaws. Number one scene.
Starting point is 00:18:43 A.K.A. beginning of the movie. Number one scene. Number one scene, AKA beginning of the movie. Number one scene. Number one scene. So there's, and tell me how much you love this. A guy and a girl sort of like drinking at a bonfire on the beach. I'm in. I'm in.
Starting point is 00:18:58 And so then they, she gets like a little drunk and she's running on the beach and she's naked. She gets off, take off her clothes and he sort of passes out from being drunk. So she swims out. He's so drunk. He can barely see her. She's like taking off her clothes,
Starting point is 00:19:13 running away from the bonfire on the beach. And she's sort of getting into the water and it's very dark. Do you see what I'm saying here? I don't know about these two people. I think they deserve it. As I see, I don't sympathize with these characters. Oh my God. Even though they're like. I don't sympathize with these characters.
Starting point is 00:19:25 Oh my God. Even though they're like young and we know nothing about them. I don't know. I think they seem sympathetic to me. Also, she's blonde. Anyway, so maybe she does deserve it. Her name is Chrissy, by the way. And so she runs out into the water.
Starting point is 00:19:41 You know what happens in this opening scene. I don't. You don't even know about the opening scene of Jaws. You don't even know about the opening scene of Jaws so this is iconic she's swimming and you see her from below and it's like and all of a sudden you see her go get pulled under the water
Starting point is 00:19:58 really fast and she goes and then he pulls her again and all of a sudden she's thrashed around. And she's screaming. This is Jaws? She's praying. Yeah, so Jaws, basically, we don't ever see it.
Starting point is 00:20:12 All we see is her being thrashed around in the water and, like, pulled under. And eventually, she's thrown up against, like, a little, like, dinghy in the water or whatever. Like, it's, like, one of those, like, I don't know. It's like a little like dinghy in the water or whatever like it's like a one of those like a little yeah buoy or something he pulls her off and the last thing you see is she she's screaming screaming screaming gets pulled under the water and that's wow so that's the opening that the guy also got killed by jaws no no no he's passed out on the beach he's passed out on the beach he never even made it in so then she's like missing and so whatever they're like or she's not missing basically like what so and so happens and they find her on the beach the next day and like literally oh my god okay mind you it is fourth of july weekend okay big time and the
Starting point is 00:20:55 town is called the town is called jaws amity amity girl no jaws i know but i think i thought they called it jaws because there are other things named Jaws. No, I think Jaws was just all about the team. What about the beach, honey? Wait, hold on. I have to say something. It is shocking to me that you have not seen this movie ever. Child of immigrants, babe.
Starting point is 00:21:16 You might have to watch it. Before pre-streaming. Yeah, but this was... Well, now I think you can stream Jaws on all sorts of things. Also, I feel like it's one of those movies that gets put on. Also, I talk about Jaws culture so much. When you talk about Jaws the ride culture, there's a difference. And I have experienced that.
Starting point is 00:21:33 You played the shark. Because we all know what Jaws... Jaws has no characterization. He has no motivation besides wanting to kill people. He is one of the worst killers. He really is. But he's not motivated by anything more complicated than some primal desire to attack people.
Starting point is 00:21:52 You're right. And so I guess you feel like you're not interested in it because the villain doesn't have a compelling narrative. I've just not been, it just has not been like an imperative for me ever to watch it. I will watch it because we are, we are ordaining it as a day of culture. And I love your passion for this and you're able to retell it so clearly and vividly, but I just
Starting point is 00:22:12 want to make the distinction that you have talked about Jaws ride culture, which is not the same as Jaws culture. Do you understand me? You're right. I mean, I understand. And I first of all, I want to say I apologize for misrepresenting. I have talked about Jaws ride culture many times, which I believe is Jaws culture by proxy. But now that I'm thinking about it and I'm going back to the file cabinets in my brain, never once did I ever hear you say you had never seen it or implore you to watch it it hasn't come up till this very moment every episode of lost culture east us we peel back a layer of this friendship and i didn't know this to me what what do you think is weirder that i haven't seen sound of music that you haven't seen music 1000 percent it is so culturally like we all know like doa deer we all know like edelweiss bitch we all know we know jaws is a shark that's that's what we all know let's get one thing
Starting point is 00:23:19 straight no we know all about quince no i don't know who the hell we know all about i don't know who who's the girl you don't know who the hell is quince who is she robert shaw played quince and he has a monologue about a shark attack he once survived and it is no film can we know and i'm speaking on behalf of people who have not seen jaws all we know is that jaws is is a shark. Possibly the town is called Jaws. And we're going to need a bigger boat. That's all. That's all we know. Girl, first of all, you are literally the only motherfucker who believes that the town was called Jaws. Everyone knows the town was called Amity. Everyone knows that.
Starting point is 00:24:00 And wait, here's what we need. You cannot speak on our behalf. What? Doug, can you get in here, please? It's crazy that you need a third party. Doug, who's what's crazier? Doug, he's putting on his headphones definitively. And you I know, you know, what's weirder that I haven't seen sound of music or that Bowen hasn't seen Jaws.
Starting point is 00:24:19 Initially, I thought it was more weird that Matt had not seen Sound of Music. No. But then, I grew up from Jaws. That fucked people's heads for years. It literally is ocean culture. Like, you can't look at an ocean or go to a beach without someone making a Jaws joke. You can't do it. I think they're kind of on par. I think they might be on par. Music is universal.
Starting point is 00:24:41 And when I was growing up in America, I was in a landlocked state. So, we didn't fucking care about Jaws or ocean culture in Colorado. No, Bowen. Because that would add to the mystique of the ocean and beach culture even more. So people in the middle of the country went even crazier. Doug, what was Jaws fever? Can you explain? I grew up in a landlocked spot.
Starting point is 00:25:03 And people would go on vacation. And my sister would not go in the ocean. Because of Jaws? Literally. Because of Jaws? Because of Jaws. Like it fucked her brain. Like she just wouldn't do it. That's wonderful.
Starting point is 00:25:16 But also the whole world knows Soulphage notes. Do, re, mi, fa, so, la, ti, do. Because of Julie Andrews and Rodgers and hammerstein i totally agree with you that's why i'm saying i we we doug and i agree they're on par doug did not break the tie he did not break the tie and i'll get in here break the anna produce producer anna hi what's weirder that bowen has not seen jaws or that i have not seen the sound of music anna is persian and has persian parents who can probably relate to this thing that i am putting forward i will say yes i do think sound of music is like immigrant child culture right because i saw sound
Starting point is 00:26:00 of music way before i saw jaws okay so i do think when you're kind of i don't know why but parents immigrant parents seem to like sound of music so you see that before i do think it's just culturally what you see versus like i think you might be onto something here because jaws is very american culture yeah it's very yeah that's and this actually ended up being a more interesting discussion than i ever could have thought thank you but so i think maybe a little slightly broke the tie in my favor i think so i think well no i don't think she broke a tie because because she acknowledges the extremely prominent american culture that is, but I do think that there is an experiential factor here that is kind of coming in with, I don't know why I never saw Sound of Music, maybe because I grew
Starting point is 00:26:51 up in like a sports house, honestly. And like, just, I don't know. And also, you know, Sound of Music is an international story. International story, international stars. who is who is bringing that element in the cast of jaws nobody i mean i could argue that roy scheider no this i don't i could argue that robert shaw is bringing it i could i could argue that um richard dreyfus is bringing it i could argue the the shark itself is bringing the glam factor listen i think if ste if Steven Spielberg stopped me on the street and said, Bowen, I'd be like, who are you? I don't recognize you. And if he said, Bowen, it hurts me that you haven't seen Jaws.
Starting point is 00:27:39 I'll say, well, Mr. Spielberg, as an immigrant to this country, I resent the fact that you made an american movie for americans oh good day i have to go get my haircut at astra hair thank you but can i ask you a question yes think about this scenario you are swimming in the water a massive shark fin is in front jaws did not popularize sharks. Sharks existed before Jaws. Yes! I'm telling you, Bowen, what Jaws did for sharks
Starting point is 00:28:11 is what Sound of Music did for music. American Idol did for Kelly Clarkson. Skyrocketed the sharks. I'm telling you, Jaws made sharks the top of the charts. Jaws took sharks to the top of the charts
Starting point is 00:28:28 we knew as a culture as a world as a human race that sharks are dangerous and will kill you not like this you are so out of your mind and anyone who agrees you have come in can I say something you have come
Starting point is 00:28:44 in today with the combative tone and you've been very combative queen and queen let me tell you something carrie underwood could do sound of music carrie underwood could not do jaws she could never be that shark okay okay and if carrie underwood could do it must not be iconic culture just kidding i don't know why i'm after carrie i would never i would never i would i would literally would never i would die for her a version of alone from american idol kill myself she did alone oh yeah she did oh she did it well. You can't do it alone. You need to have, was that a duet or she did it herself? No, she did it alone by herself.
Starting point is 00:29:29 You need that harmony. You need that harmony on the third though, to make it truly sore. But you need, anyway, we don't have to argue about Carrie. We are here to talk about Jaws. Keep walking me through this story in our few minutes that we have left let's just say this because there's the death of this girl everyone's like oh there must be a huge shark here the bites on this young girl are psycho so then they're like well it's fourth of july and probably shouldn't close the beaches keep them open it's a huge time for business says the mayor who looks very much like a mayor now there's like
Starting point is 00:30:08 the town sheriff who's like the the lead of the movie um he's sort of going back and forth on his head about whether to close the beach down very very contemporary covid narrative yes very that very that a time a story for now now more more than ever, Jaws. And so they're at the beach one day. He's literally at the beach one day when a kid gets killed by the shark. Like you see it, it's crazy. And then he still hasn't closed the beach down. Like there's, people go crazy though. At the funeral, the kid's mother says to the sheriff we know that you waited days after this first girl was killed and didn't close the beach so anything you do now is too little too late i'm paraphrasing here and mind you the the the person who's like the coroner like uh who's retrodreyfus has come
Starting point is 00:30:57 and said you need to close down the beach if there's some sort of animal that's this big that could do this to this girl you need to close down the beach and he's ignored ignored ignored so basically um they finally closed down the beach but they're they're unable to get rid of the shark to the extent where they realize this is really a summation they must go out yes to try to like kill it like so they put these they get this little ship together called the orca it's three guys oneint, this older guy I'm telling you about. He's like a shark expert. And then there's the town sheriff and this coroner who's able to identify the animal, I guess. It's those three guys.
Starting point is 00:31:34 Oh my God, they forgot a skipper. They did not hire a skipper. But the sheriff does have a wife that's like, please protect us. You know what I mean? So basically they go out to to see to kill this shark and they're trying to attract it with these big yellow buoys i guess and um they find it and basically spoiler alert it is a fight to the fucking death the shark gives it to him the shark expert quinn ends up getting eaten by the shark yes yes yes wow oh yeah no you need to oh
Starting point is 00:32:07 i can't believe i just told you what happens in the movie but basically they do kill the shark but then there's more shark sequels later like jaws 2 jaws 3 3d which dennis quaid was in and said had a cocaine budget hidden into the what year was that budget of the film that was in the 80s this movie came out in 75 and legitimately it was like a rough time for beaches because people were afraid to go in the water.
Starting point is 00:32:31 I don't deny the impact that Jaws had on the culture. I'm just saying. Yes, it's just it's just not not it's just not your it's not something that
Starting point is 00:32:40 it is. It is absolutely quintessential cinema. It absolutely deserves a spot in the 12 days of culture. One thousand percent. But when you start to bring in a sound of music, the sound of music. I just look.
Starting point is 00:32:56 Have you seen The Godfather? I have not. Neither have I. And I think that that's actually important for me and my sister to connect on is that none of this really matters because neither of us have seen the godfather and that's what's important neither of us ingested that hetero patriarchy i will say that i do love a crime movie i love a crime movie get out of here what do you like what do you like that's crime bitch i love goodfellas i love but he's never seen jaws but he loves goodfellas
Starting point is 00:33:34 but he's never seen jaws because that culture is too american you know what you are a crazy boy. I really are. You, that's actually going to be where we wrap this up. I'll get ready for the name. I'll call Matt tomorrow on day eight of the 12 days of culture. We've got some great ones coming up. I think. Oh,
Starting point is 00:34:00 thick, but for now we say to Jaws I want to thank you for giving me the best day of culture. Culture.
