What a week Oh my god Oh my god gentlemen gentlemen gentlemen gentlemen gentlemen gentlemen gentlemen How's everybody feeling Kyle I heard you I saw you on the the picket line the other day That's kind of sick but all hello yelling I was out there yeah yeah

I was out there doing the striking standing up standing up trying to get a two percent trying to get our two percent all right come on now all they want it let's go we just want them residuals let's get them my okay wouldn't it be nice it would be nice is that what they want two percent that seems like a shitty amount but What's that a what pop up amount 2% of the gross like they just want studios to give that to the guild so that the guilds can Disperse it amongst their members, okay, but also 2% what does that even mean? And don't quote me on the 2% I thought it was 2% of the I thought it was 2% of all of the profits that they were making as streamers Comes back to the people. Okay, I think that's what that's what I understood it was 2% of all of the profits that they were making as streamers comes back to the people. I think that's what I understood it to be.

I think. Grossly wrong though. If you're getting your strike information here, there could be four worse guys to explain this. Yeah. Yeah. I feel like that's way wrong. But this is why everyone's talking about AI

instead of like the ins and outs. They're like, computers can write this dude It's literally cuz I went and and striked with Blake the the other day and I was with him too Hold on Hollywood right immediately looking at all the signs that were written by WGA Members I was like oh maybe we need some AI to help us write some of these signs cuz they were bad a lot of them were really bad Yeah, yeah, oh, that's were bad. A lot of them were really bad. Yeah, the signs are not good. Ooh, that's a slam.

That's a big slam on. Yes, points. Or they were like so wordy that a car driving past couldn't read all that, you're like, it just needs to be like a few words. Well, it's not for that. It's for social media. People are trying to get the clicks

and the attention which we deserve because people need to understand what we're fighting for. That's true. Yes, the royal way. That is so real. The royal way. The job, the job. The debut G.E. I grabbed a sign that said Gaze for pay, which I was like, that's kind of funny. I'll walk around with this on. What's funny about it exactly? He's not. He's the furthest thing from a gate. All right. I'm so not gay, dude. I'm so great. Therein lies the comedy. And I was like, this is a fun sign. So I was carrying it around.

And my DMs, I posted a photo, I Kristen Charles, like, let's grab a photo. Our friend, Kristen Charles, very funny comedian. And... On Shadows, baby. Yeah, she is. Very funny. That's right. Taller than you think. Oh, super, super funny.

And she's like, that's good to pick. And I grabbed a pick. She sent it to me. And I posted it. People in my DMs were like mad, dude. You should be gay for free. What the hell? And in the comments, sorry, the compliment section of Instagram they were not

Complimenting yeah But they were like fuck you your gay agenda Adam. I'm like oh, I don't have a gay agenda. No, it's just they're called tendencies Not a genie. Those are the bros that are mad about but like I can't a guy gobble those are the those are the guys who are secretly I can't have got gobbled. Yeah, those are the those are the guys who are secretly gay themselves and and don't want to be gay themselves and are so angry about it. I'm still going to send it. Well, WGA does stand for once gay assholes.

Okay. As I was doing, I never knew. It always has and it's it but they actually converted it into the writer's guilt. Yes. McCarthyism during the blacklist era. Sure. Download us. They were going after gay people,

then they were like, maybe we're just writers. I just want to part. It's not about gay assholes, and so then people started writing movies, and yeah, I'm sorry to like get like in the weeds, like you are. I'm listening. Yeah.

And I'm sorry, I'm sorry about that. Oh, it's nice, it's good, it's good. No, listening. I'm sorry. I'm sorry about that. Oh, it's nice. It's good. No, I liked it a lot. Oh, my God. Dude, I'm about to go into, I'm about to go into a little trip down memory lane

when it comes to blackwesting because when I go to France, I'm looking for my great, great uncles grave. Oh, very cool. Do you know this story? Do you guys know this? You're looking for a great, great uncles grave. How much time do we have? Yeah? I can do it quickly But it involves the writers. Yeah, give us the elevator. I'll be right back. I'm gonna go take a shit

It involves the writers guild so I kind of feel like I feel like it should be out there for because it is the writers Guild it's early writers guild story and McCarthyism Okay, let's spit it out. Yeah, all right. my great-great-on-call, guy named Robert Meltzler, Meltzer, wrote for- No, wrote the great-dixord with Charlie Chaplin, okay? Yes, never heard of him. Fucking son of dude. He's a credited assistant director on that, and the writer's guild was not around when they were making that movie.

So he's an assistant director, but did a lot of writing on the film. When was this? This was in like 1941, 38, 39, 40-ish. But yeah, so, okay. Wait, wait, wait, let me set the picture. So I got it. World War II backdrop, hence the great dictator. World War II, great dictator.

It's about Hitler. Yeah, what's next? It was very, very edgy for Chaplin to do that. Crazy. Is this when Chaplin does the mustache? Yeah. Well, Chaplin, you know, a little known thing about the story about the mustache is that he had the,

his character called the tramp had that mustache and he was a beloved character. Right. Before Hitler rose to power and actually the rumor is that Hitler grabbed that mustache so that people would love him immediately because they would be reminded of oh yeah he's a like smart guy not like fully but a real pile of fucking trash that man yeah yeah you're saying Hitler yeah yeah I stand by that Pretty yeah, yeah, I feel like we could all come forward. So yeah, so they're Yeah, I take yeah, yeah, yeah, thank you good. I'm glad I'm glad yeah, good so what

He was with great. He was with Charlie Chaplin and then Do you know that speech that he fucking that at the end of that movie? My- Of course, yes, everyone might- My uncle fucking- I don't. My uncle opposed that speech and got kicked off set. Charlie Chaplin kicked him off of set when they were filming that.

And how's the speech go again? Yeah. It's where Charlie breaks the fourth wall and all of a sudden does this like impassioned speech to camera. What's the fourth wall? Okay. Polychor. And the reasoning that my uncle was like, no, you can't do that

is because they were making a satire. And at that point, it was like, Right, you're breaking the fourth wall. No, I've heard you say that. So your uncle was like, kind of pro Hitler is that you're saying? And was like, dude, you can't, we're trying to make like a funny comedy. Your boobs are huge.

That's what it's sounding like. They stay out. No, no, dude, you can't, we're trying to make like a funny comedy. No, boobs are huge. That's what it's sounding like. They stay out. No, no, no, no. It's sounding like your, your uncle was protecting Hitler. His life is like, no, you're not even, no, you're not even close, bro, because I'll get to that part of the story. Okay. Okay.

I'm waiting. It is a long story. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I didn't realize it was a long story. When I tell that I can do it, you guys are asking a lot of questions. I can't think of anything to talk about. Go ahead. Okay. So, uh, so he gets, he says, on, on the grounds of satire, you cannot, who cares? Can't do it, because the whole mission was to laugh in the face of the devil. Right.

It's like, the whole mission was to laugh in the face of the devil, right? And then this bro was like, it's like explaining the joke after telling you that. And I get it. He was saying you can't do that. But Chapman was probably scared. He was like, I think we have to yes, otherwise we're going to people are going to find out we're down with Hitler. So they had to do it. We have to hide him plain saying down with the past anyway, so I'll do the fast forward version

if you guys let me. So he got kicked off set. He goes to work with Orson Wells on a World War 2 project. That's in South America All right, so they're making this documentary where it's called it's all true Okay, and it's supposed to bring like the South America and North America together that was the whole it was supposedly a war effort Oh, but what was Orson was just using it as a way to dodge the draft. Do not come. Orson didn't want to go to the war. Oh, yeah. Oh, well, who does? Nobody wants to. Of course, I'm like, yeah, I didn't want to do that. Who does? Well, some people do. Yeah, that's true. So he made this documentary and they were like, pulling money out of the US government and pulling money out of Hollywood

To make this documentary called it's all true My uncle was like he got fed up with that. He's like no fuck this. I hate Hitler so much. I'm going I'm gonna kiss him I'm joining World War II and I'm gonna go fucking kill him. I Hate Hitler gonna go kill Hitler. He wanted to kill Hitler and he wanted to write So if you see me hanging out with it, was he know your enemies sniper or what was his he became a alpha team ranger Which I don't know a lot about the military, but that shit's high up. It sounds sounds important Sounds tight. Yeah, and he put he wanted to write the great American war novel. Oh my god in Hitler's blood like kiss So he fucking stormed the beaches of Normandy with a with a typewriter on his back, okay?

That's a lot of weight. Yeah, dude. That's gonna weigh you down people are gonna hear you click clack and when you sneak up He just right off the boat was like a fuck. Yeah, he maybe should have just like rode it in a journal and then transcribed it later That's what I'm bad. I do pencil and paper I'm So anyways, he's out the typewriter. He's out there. He's not me. He smashes somebody's head with the typewriter No, the shit sucks after that the shit sucks after that because he goes to fucking breast after that the battle of the breast and he fucking What's breast? It's a place in France Northwest France France is so cool it's a famous

battleground battle of the pussy yeah right yeah and fucking he got shot he died to Clitoria oh wait sorry that's a battle of the booty he was shot and died there he got shot and died he died at breast he died died. He died at breast. He died. They've Moody died in the titties. Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr I don't know if his name's on it because we have like a plot that's what's cool Adam There's a typewriter out there that people go to and you type a message of love, right? Well, here's here's where the WGA comes in because after he died in the war the WGA gave him an award Okay, so they they had the Robert Keltzer award that was butthole active for four years cool Yeah, it was sick. They gave it to people who served, who were writers. And that was the whole...

And then someone was like, did you ever meet this guy? We should definitely not have the word in his name. No, what happened was is McCarthyism. Oh. And then... And now I want to know what that is, tell us what that is. So McCarthyism is what Durs was talking about at the beginning, which is the Blacklist era in Hollywood,

where if you were a communist, or if there was any chance you were a communist, you got blacklisted. Or if they just didn't like what you were saying. Yeah, if they were blacklist, you would label you as a communist as maybe more accurate. Yes, they would tack it on. It was like a witch hunt in a way, isn't it? It was. It was. Awesome.

And at that time, he was young in Hollywood and he did like you know communism Like was still an idea when he was like 24 25 so he was backing it out. Oh that checks out Communism like like failed the world during World War 2 it fucking completely failed So it's like okay okay, is that when? I don't know when we were, because did it fail already or was it fail? It was like when Russia shook hands with Germany. That was when it like failed.

Because everybody thought that uncle that Joe Stalin and all the way through World War II, they were doing it. Everybody thought that Joe Stalin was gonna let you go beat up Germany. And then when he shook hands with Germany, people were like, what the fuck? And that was actually on the day they started filming the great dictator, which is Norway. And because in World War II, my nine year old just told me on the day that Russia had the most casualties by far.

Really? Yes. Yeah. And that happened before the pizza, pizza, or after the handshake. It was at the handshake was when we were like, that was like, well, Russia was communist. And so everybody's like, see, look at, look at Joe Stalin, like shit's working over there, I think. And then when, uh, and then when, when they shook hands, it, you know, it,

it was fucked up. Yeah. This is important. Well, I will say, I've never been to anywhere communist, but then shooting in Berlin last year, and we were in East Berlin, and you just see the difference between West Berlin and everything's like newer and nicer, and then East Berlin was all the old buildings, and you see the communist housing, and it's just like fucking depressing looking and you're like my god. This is like you could see how they just made everything the exact same and there was no style. They

didn't put in there was nothing was nice or they didn't go above and beyond because everything had to be the same. Well, that was because all those people were like, we're doing this for the greater good of the community. But the problem was is that you have this dictator up top that then can turn and has control over everybody because nobody has any power. Everybody's the same. So it was like kind of, and that's what happened. And then that's why there was so much genocide in Russia. This is important.

And so here's my question. That shit's important. Stupid stupid dumbass question. So I'm a dumbass too. I'm like nervous talking like. That shit's important. Stupid dumbass question. I'm a dumbass too. I'm like nervous talking like all these facts. I'm a dumbass. So communism in theory is that no matter what your job is, everybody kind of gets the same thing, but then it allows for corruption at the top.

So if communism at the top isn't corrupt, is it fucking sick? Is it off the chain? Perfect. I think that's why everybody says communism is good on paper. Good on paper. But once you put it into practice, in theory, yeah, once you put it into practice, it doesn't quite work because somebody's gonna grab the power

because of corruption. Kyle, since you know so much about communism, I kind of do. If you are, let's say you're like a doctor or something, do you get paid the same amount as if you are a plumber or like a, you know, you lay bricks or something? I like a really cool actor as far as communism works. You know, I don't know how, I don't know how the paste structure worked in all of that. I know that I don't, I don't really know. I'm not going to pretend like I, I know. Yeah, it's kind of that. I know that I don't really know. I'm not gonna pretend like I know that.

Yeah, it's kind of interesting. I think I'm into it. I'm, you're in a con. Okay, okay. Wait, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, I can see, I can see Derriss being a communist for sure. Do I get to be one of the guys at the top? No, but it's interesting to for people to become doctors

because they want to become doctors, not because they're gonna get paid out the ass and push pills and all that shit. Jam's saying, right. Well, that's kind of which loops back to the WGA. That was kind of the quote that came from the bro, which bro was it that gave the evil quote where it's like, oh, they'll come back, they love their job.

They do this because they love to write. They love to be creative. Oh, you're talking about the guy. Oh, the executive. You're saying recently. Yes, very recently. For this strike, they were like, don't worry, won't last long because eventually

these people love to write and be creative so much that they will, they'll come crawling back if we just waited out. Right. Sure, but like also just go write a book or write something else or like make music start a podcast. Yeah, still going to send it. It will be fine. Send it. Still going to send it. Okay, so let me finish, let me finish

the story real quick. Can I finish it? That's what I'm still going is still happening. It's not done yet.'s not done yet. It's not done. It's really quick at the end He was posthumously blacklisted. We gotta get that we're still in the we're still in the elevator with you and the award and the award was stripped of Him and then Where I gotta get to a meeting. No, no, this is an elevator pitch. This is like my fucking Ken We leave now the elevator pitch that was last week, no, this is an elevator pitch. This is like my fucking can we leave now the elevator pitch That was last week. Yeah, this is my can dude I've changed shirts. It's clearly in a way dude. It's his really close relative from a hundred years

Yeah, never met him. Yes, but it's been dead for eight years right? It's in the bloodline tile. I appreciate it Yes, nepo baby. Yeah, the irony is that he is buried in an American flag Yeah, the irony is that he is buried in an American flag While also being labeled a communist you said buried or married buried he's buried He was fighting fascism and like he died fighting fascism on the American side and he's still Blacklisted Essentially and the award isn't there. It's the whole world got crazy! And then, yeah, yeah, it's hard to, like, and I didn't know about him because of that.

That's the thing that's fucked up. It's like, I found out about this guy five years ago. I've been down in Hollywood working, and all of a sudden there's like this. How'd you find out about him? My aunt was searching our family tree and saw a purple medal, and was like, who's this guy? Whoa.

Purple medal? I mean, a purple heart. Wait. who's this guy? Whoa. Purple medal? I mean a purple heart. Wait. Wait. Unbelievable. That was tight. That was real tight. That was real tight.

That was real tight. I thought it was a purple medal. He got one on the hood as well. That was fun. He saw a medal that was spray painted purple. It's like, who did this? Purple magic. I can't even, I can't even, I can't even, I can't even, I can't take a break real quick. Why did this bro spray paint his medal purple? Like who did purple magic

Take a break real quick why did this bro spray paint his metal purple and hang in the fucking tree I can't leave you just misspoke wow man. That's really touching Kyle never misspeak you cannot misspeak Your uncle got the purple medal. This dude said the wrong word. What a fucking idiot. Well, that's cool, Kyle. I mean, it's what is cool is that he like worked with two of the most influential people in Hollywood, you know what I mean?

Orson Walsh and Charlie Chaplin. Very cool. The Ahtours are top 10. That's crazy for sure. They're in my top 10. The Ahtours, man. And this dude was like writing with him. It's cool. Yeah, pretty radical. Yeah, that is wild nobody knows about this But I found a now they will I guess but I found it his journals dude. He's got two years of journals working alongside

Orson Wells nobody knew how dude no Nobody knew you found them. No, no, he hasn't told anybody How did you find them? Where did you find them at? What's happened? You like went on a archaeological dig? They were under the purple metal dude. Wow. Don't see it up like that You want to know how I found it? We were we were looking this guy up because This guy was like a ghost we couldn't figure out who the fuck he was We were looking at him over the pandemic. We were looking at and we found a speech by Dalton trombo that's from the movie it's the last speech from the movie that Brian cranson does who's that trombo was the Brian cranson movie and he played Dalton trombo who was this writer who was blacklisted and then wrote under a pseudonym and wrote like a million movies all pretty cool when

he won the war award which is i believe what he's winning at the end of that movie, in the actual transcription, he's like talking about Robert Meltzer. That's radical. Who's that? That's cool. And he's talking about like, he's like, we all know what the War of Award was.

It was the Robert Meltzer Award. And then he said, and he, how ironic a man who died in battle had a daughter named Joe victory. And me and my brother were like, what the fuck? That's hilarious. But daughter's name is Joe victory. Wait, wait, hold up. I gotta give points to my boy Meltzer for that. Yes, points. That is a point. Yeah. Meltzer, dude. Sick. Meltzer, if you're looking down on us, fucking. Meltzer, dude. Sick. Meltzer, if you're looking down on us, fucking...

And then we looked her up and she was his daughter and she had these journals. That's cool. Yeah. So you reached out to her and she's like a super old lady now and she has these journals and then you... No, this is what death becomes her's about. She's actually really young. She has a serum.

Oh, that's not what death becomes you. Yeah, that's not. It's not. It not old. Then they take a serum to look young All right go ahead I'm starting to try to derail it there. Just trying no, it's good. It's funny. We're having fun This is really good radio. Well, that's cool. That is cool good radio. Well, that's cool, Kyle. That is cool, Kyle.

Yeah, supposedly there like someone said we're related to tie Cobb But I've never heard any real ask kind of crazy. That's cool Can I tell you that tie Cobb is more famous than a guy who was in Jesse James gang?

Yeah, but I don't know if that's true. That's just like my uncle like being real stone being like me, you know, and I'm like How and then there's no backup to it, but we went to the Jesse James He probably didn't want to stay house where he was murdered at in Missouri, I believe and we went to that And now it's like a museum and there's photos of my great-great-uncle there. Wow. When I was a kid, my parents showed us. Does it look like you? Is he hot?

No. He had to be. No, not that hot. No. No. People were, I feel like people were ugly back in the day. No, bandits were sexy. Yeah, but they put the ugly goes out front.

Yeah. Because they're not, no one's looking at him, you know? You put the bandits out front to keep an eye, because they're not, no one's looking at him. You know, you put the bandit's out front to keep it eye because no one's gonna like do a second glance at my ugly ass, great, great uncle, you know. For sure, catchers met face. Yeah, that's why he was the lookout for Sky UC. You're like, let's actually look over this way.

I don't need to go to the bank today, I'm fine. They are not over here. Things like shit and there's an ugly bro over there. So let's go check the other bank. Dude, I'm fine. They are not over here. Things like shit and there's an ugly bro over there. So let's go check the other bank. But dude, I love that earlier. I thought the Jesse James gang was 1930s. I was like, maybe the 30s, way, way off. Long time ago, yeah.

Way, way off. That's like wild, wild, last time. You say 1860s, right? 1866 through 1882 was his years that he was a. Original sparposs. What the fuck, that's just straight up locomotives in like covered wagon still, right? Absolutely. Yeah, because my great-great aunt, she died when she was 104.

And I got to know her when I was a kid. She was related to him. Wow. Yeah. I don't think she knew him. I think she was her uncle or something, so maybe it was my great-great-grand uncle. But anyways, so she like, whoah, man. Remember as before cars.

She was like, I remember the first time I saw a car. Damn. It was like crazy shit. Yeah, and that's 1918. What? Yeah. That's fucking nuts, man. Yeah, that had to be pretty crazy.

Blazer, any lineage? Any lineage? Zero. Zero, that I know of. I don't think I have anything here. Not famous. I also just don't think my family is good about talking about their past I think they just don't oh so you think chances are there's a ton of people

Probably a ton of professional athletes. Yeah, there's probably like a pretty good chance that like Well or wrestler pro pro wrestlers. I feel like probably a ton of pro wrestlers So that yeah, that's like literally like a close relative. No, Ash, I take it back. I take it back. There we go, natural hard bodies. Three of my uncles made up demolition, the triple taxi. Yeah, those were my uncles, demolition, WF.

That's pretty famous. Yeah, that's sick, dude. That is sick. When did you find out about that? Yeah, when did you find out? Just texted me. She heard, oh yeah, she's piped in. Wow, you guys out about that? Yeah, when did you find out? Yeah, my mom just texted me. She heard. Oh, yeah, she's piped in.

Wow, you guys were going through your Rigma rule. I was like, let me, let me text my mom. And she said, yeah, sure enough demolition from W.F. Those are my own clothes. Sure enough. That's cool. Sure enough. Yeah. Yeah. Only a little bit.

Sure enough. That's me. And no one in your family either, Dersing? I think so. I I mean I was named after An ambassador to Norway from the United States, but like not like a known guy Well that and that was like in your family. Yeah, he was like my dad's uncle or something like great uncle or something That's kind of tight. This is the way. Yeah, that's cool. That's kind of cool But I don't think so I think it's just me. So you guys are gonna be the ones you guys are the ones that in In many generations, they'll be saying did you know that hey? I doubt it. I doubt it. I'm not no dude

I think what's gonna be so dope is in 100 years they're gonna go like our great great great great nephews are gonna go like yeah I guess my great great great great uncle gonna go like, yeah, I guess my great, great, great, great uncle. Like some bad show. Got arrested for killing a dog on an airplane. There were these things called like television shows back in the day. And he had one, I don't, I don't really know,

but yeah, evidently. There's a bagel for real. And then like one, like he snapped and went on that kill eat spree. Yeah, yeah. Apparently he like changed some law about how you can't have animals on an airplane But then even after that they found him underneath an airplane strangling all these dogs and playing firecrackers in their buttholes Goodbye, yeah, and that's how it is a life story

Yeah, that's it and that's how we got the purple metal That being said though he did go into war with the typewriter on his back. So purple metal. Wait, so who knew that Homeboy had a typewriter on his back? No, that's from, well, he was, it's, it's, I don't know. How does that news get back? You know how this stuff works? Lower.

No, no, no, it's because he was publishing while he was in the war. He was actually publishing to call your magazine and writing short stories and stuff like that. You gotta meet Oliver Stone, because just because of the type of dude he is. He's really cool. He's chill. Yeah, you know.

He's a chill dog. But I bet he knows who your great-great-uncle was. Yeah, have you snipped around? Because I think that he's that type of guy. Well, you know who else is also the way that he got rolled on was because he was a part of up by up rolled on for communist, you know, when they blacklisted him, he was a part of a big group of actors called the actors, the actors game. Actors game.

It's like the actor's studio. It's it's it's Lloyd It's Lloyd Bridges is. Bridges is. I love this. Yeah, it's Lloyd Bridges is a group that was basically up by UCB. And that's where a lot of fun. Isn't this the actors gang? Did somebody just say the actors? I said the actors.

I thought that was Tim Robbins. I thought that was Tim Robbins. Adam knows. Yeah. He's not the latest dude to be handling it. Or did he start that? Oh, I don't know if it's the same one or not. That would be kind of interesting.

After Howard the Duck, he might have been like, I got this. So I've often wondered like, you know, I wonder. That's who my uncle was. He was the guy in the Howard the Duck's suit. Oh, yeah, for sure. Have you seen Howard the Duck? He was a, you know, he's a slightly shorter guy,

but he was the guy who actually wore the Howard the Duck costume. That movie is a true experience. Yeah, really good movie. It would be the voice of the remake. Howard, I feel like I need to rewatch Howard the Duck. It's the best Marvel movie. Because it gets no love. You never see anyone post about it or talk about it.

You see people post and talk about older movies sometimes, but never ever, ever do they talk about Howard the Duck. Well, there is the one freeze frame that gets a lot of love because there is a moment in the movie when you go into this bathroom where there is a female duck bathing and she has duck titties. Yeah. Yeah.

Like big ass duck titties. Yes. Yeah. Why are you saying this like this is like a sneaky like if you pause it at the right moment? It's a huge it's like a Durs this is a moment where I think that we as friends know this very well But I don't think all of the world knows that Howard the duck has it's a lady a chick duck in a bathtub No, dude. It's unprecedented. These are really good duck titties. Dude, Durs level duck titties, okay? Like these duck titties are insurg- They're bodacious. They're just like bultons, they're just they look fake. You're crazy. These are upper level duck titties. Like, whoever made this duck stew was on one. Because the area all of us...

You know they're fucking getting off on that shit. You know they're making the duck stew and low-key being like, yo, this is gonna be the hottest duck. You know the titties are hot. Computer background, the duck titties are hot. Oh yeah, oh yeah, hey wait. By the way, Todd just put it in the chat,

the photo of the duck titties, buddy. Your memory of how dope these duckitties are is a little off. They're fine. Because those are a little fine. Also, I love that they took the creative license. I love that they took the creative license to make the left one way bigger than the right one. Yeah. That's what they do.

Yeah, they're like, let's keep it real. When I saw that as a kid, I lost my shit. I rolled my J, bro. That's a little quack. Was that the first time you rolled your J? Yeah, dude, right there. I'm not sure, remember pausing at that moment. Yeah.

Dude, look at those tattoos, bro. But also, what is her name, Leah? What's the, from Leah Thompson? Leah Thompson, thank you. Like she gets in her underwear and is in the bed. That's like my computer background rotates through like 50 photos and that's one of them. Oh, well, you're a legend, mate.

You're a fucking legend. Well, that's the true. And the music, her face. It's science. Fucking goes. And it's one of the greatest scores in movie history. And it's Marvel. It's a Marvel movie. That's what people don't realize.

Howard The Duck is the greatest Marvel movie ever. Oh, fucking for real. It shows up in one of the Marvel movies, right? It's all right. Yes, reiss. He's in the background of, I believe, Guardians of the Galaxy. Because Howard did a lot of Marvel from the new Guardians of the Galaxy. I've been wanting to see it. I have not gotten out to it. I have not. I haven't seen it. I'm not gonna see it. You know what I

saw? That was pretty good. Well, I saw Dungeons and Dragons. I liked it. I liked it a lot. Oh, I bet it was tight. I heard it was great. Yeah. Yeah. People are really, really digging it. Yeah. It looked fun and people say it's really, really fun. It was fun. It's all Chris Pine, man. That guy is fucking charismatic.

Oh, dude. I so hot. He's so hot, dude. Yeah. That guy. He's hot and he's funny. He's got it all. He's cool.

He's cool. He's great. I went to a screening of a movie at my agency, the like a week ago. No, the totally. And he was sitting right behind me. Is that really Hollywood head? And he was sitting right behind me, Chris Pine. And first of all, so handsome, like in real life.

Yes. And also, big head. Big head must weigh 150 pounds. He was so lean. Very slight. Just like, really? Really? Huh.

Like, nobody fat. And it's all muscle. Oh, okay, okay like really? Huh? Like no body fat. It's all muscle. Oh, okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. But it's muscle. It's muscle. I mean, I'm exaggerating. I bet I bet he's like 180 pounds, 170 pounds. But but like that's huge. I'm bigger than me. Well, yeah. Like you're a tiny man. You're your slight dog. Yeah. I'm looking at him right now. He's he's not. He was real lean Chris real real. No one's talking about Becca Becca are in a producer. No one's talking about Chris Pratt right now. Yeah, we're not talking Pratt and Chris Pine. We're talking. We pivoted. We pivoted. There are a lot of hot Chris's right now. There's a lot of hot Chris's in the space right now. There's Chris Pine, Chris Pratt and who's Captain America? Chris Elliott. Evan Chris. Elliott. I think it's Chris Elliott.

God, I would love to see them all in a talk show together with Chris Elliott. And of course, there's me. Eagle Heart? Dude, that's the Chris Elliott. That's my Chris Elliott. Why nobody think about that, heart, Chris, huh? That's an awesome thing. Why nobody think about it?

This is Big Sugar, a deep dive into the inner workings of the sugar industry. I'm Celeste Headley, and in a new podcast, I'm investigating a true crime story like no other about the men who risked their lives to cut sugar cane. In Big Sugar, from I Heart Media, Imagine Audio, and the teams at Weekday Fun and Novel, I'll unravel a decade-long fight to get justice.

What is the last Marvel movie everyone here has seen because I have Oh, I'm so far off. Yes, me as well. I just want to go to the movie theater really I went and saw air a couple weeks ago I know, but that's what you want to see. There's not much out there about my father and theaters I got super high and watched mouth of madness or whatever. I'm gonna go see the Super Mario Brothers movie.

I think. I saw that. I saw Mario Brothers with myself. Was that good? Mario Brothers? Yes, it was all right. It was a little bit chaotic. You wonder, I wonder when I bring my kid

and he's so little when it's just chaos and loudness. What that does. You know what I mean? Like, the destroys them. Movies are really hard to follow. So you didn't like Mario Brothers? Was it kind of... Oh, it was all right.

It was all right. I didn't think one way or the other on it. A thing to do with my kid. The voice acting is great. I thought everybody's voices were awesome. It's just dumb. It's a lot of the, it's a lot of go-carding I found. Yeah.

The Lego Batman movie, I liked that movie, but it was the same. The first seven minutes of it are just fucking insane. And I'm just looking at my kids brain melt like leaning forward. I'm like, all right. Yeah, I don't know what is going on. Like, can we slow this shit down

for the little kids brains, man? Can we do that? What was the first super crazy movie, like kids movie? When did it kick off? Toy Story was not super complex. Hell is simple. Toy Story 1 was not it. It's hell is simple dude. Toy Story 1 they're just like they're at the birthday party with the little fucking guy. Was it on what was the Mindy one? In and out or inside out was that the motion one? I feel like the emotion was yeah, that one was pretty hard to follow I feel like that one was was was it imagery out the we who? No, we're just like conceptually

Like like it was hard to explain to a child, but it was a kid's movie But it was like how do you like It was just it was rough. It was it was a lot right well. I will say the I mean to pivot topics because I don't have a child So I don't want to talk about it. He's like y'all are fucking I mean like going I went and saw air a couple weeks ago and then I told my have you ever seen a Marvel movie Adam ever? Yes, yeah, I've seen the first Guardians of the Galaxy and I saw the first Iron Man that's what I was saying I think I tapped out that was so long ago wait Adam that's it I think I saw end game on a plane and obviously I had no fucking idea what was happening I'm like

never saw it I'm sorry and that's it you've seen three Marvel movie yeah whoa I mean I might have seen I mean I've seen some of the spider-man ones, not the newer ones, but the old ones. Did you see Black Panther? I saw Black Panther. I saw Black Panther. Yeah, I think that might have been the last one I actually watched. Yeah, it was Black Panther one. I like the first Black Panther, yeah. Yeah, I've seen them all. But I just like going to the theater and I went and saw air a couple weeks ago and I told my parents I was like, yo, you guys gotta go to the theater and see air.

And then my dad calls me and he's like, yeah, we just watched parents, I was like, yo, you guys gotta go to the theater and see air and then my dad calls me and he's like, yeah, we just watched air and I'm like, oh, how fun is he going back to the movie theater and then he goes, oh, it's on Netflix. Amazon. Yeah, Amazon. Amazon, he told me Netflix, but yeah, Amazon. And I'm like, our parents are the age

where everything's Netflix, it does not matter. Streaming is Netflix. Yeah. Right, yeah, it's okay. Yeah, that's true. But also, I'm like, well, that sucks that they dumped it on the streamer that quickly, like, of course, Movedeaters aren't gonna come back if they're gonna pull, like, the word of mouth can't build if they put it on a streamer within a week. The word of mouth is dead.

Dude, that's why there's no dough. That's why there's no dough. If they, if they, there's money in the box office, what the fuck are people doing? Why don't they just put it in the box office? Like there's money, there's a formula. I don't know if there is, I don't know if there is for a movie like Air. I think someone's crunch the numbers and based on the analytics, it ain't there. No, it's, if you put it in, if you put it in for four weeks or more, it will catch fire. You just have to put it in for a month, six months and have it nowhere up. I know, but guess what that same studio is like guess what we

got to move that fucker out because we have another movie we're trying to it's all about opening weekend period we have new movies we need to launch you think it's all about opening weekend though yes is that the still the same way to work in this industry no but I mean like look at everything everywhere all at once and look at how it grew, right? And it made money. And look at every other movie and how it does that. Whoa, yes, point.

But that's my point. I kind of, I'm just wondering if this all, I'm not even rooting for this. I'm just saying that's what's happened. But how the world got crazy? I'm trying to put out like, you know, let's starve the streamers and fucking throw the shit back in theaters.

Let's starve the streamers. That would be cool. But the point is all these studios have other movies that they're going to launch the next weekend and they want all the fucking theaters so that every hour on the hour, you can see this new big movie. I know. It's the theater. I'm going to be like, Hey, let's save three screens for air.

Are they going to do it? No, it's the theater companies that are like, fuck that shit. We're not going to hold it. Yeah. I know. I know. I know. Absolutely. The revival theaters are dope. That being said, it sure was fun going to the theater. Air was a really good movie. I really enjoyed it. And it was fun being in a movie theater. And I'm now I'm like itching to get back in. I didn't see the second Guardians of the Galaxy. So I'm like, am I going to be able to follow? Let's get that one. One is one is way better. Three, three, I bet is sick. Okay. Yeah. If they did starve the streamers, right? But don't you think that would increase

demand in the theaters? Don't you think that then other other movies might have a chance because you can't see these particular movies anywhere else for say six months? No, I will wait. I will wait for 15 years. People waited. Yeah. You think that they would wait. Yeah, like it's just like the same as rent. Yeah, my parents are like, I'll rent it. Yeah, I am that guy. Yeah, Blake. I am that guy. Blake doesn't support our industry that he works at. Did you see everything everywhere all at once in the movie? I just don't go to movie theaters. I watch movies. I just don't go to movie.. I watch movies I just don't go to movie why not you don't like the experience. I think that would increase the man I like to watch at my house. I was always like move your hair

Watch at my house. It's not that I'm not supporting the all I like to watch at the theater I really get a kick out of it. Just being I did until arc light closed Thanks, COVID. Thanks news. Yeah, I know it is stucky that they're all going facts x is gonna be the next movie that comes in theaters that i'm gonna go see oh perfect that's gonna get a billion bucks man yeah that's gonna get a billion you gotta save room for air that's what's crazy is these movies are getting a beat like that's what they're getting yeah a fucking beat dude that's a lot of dough yeah it's fucking yeah yeah i love it i think you can increase demand.

I think they got to be smarter. I think everybody got to be smarter. But Kyle, I think that there's hundreds of people in this town, and I'm saying, I'm not saying that they're making the industry better for movies. I think they know what makes money more often, and that's why they're doing everything. Yeah, there's people's whole job

is to figure out exactly how long to keep a movie in a thin theater and bubble. I'm just putting it out there. I hope they're listening. I'm just putting it out there. They are not. The 100 people that make the decisions absolutely are not.

Well, let's try and get them to listen. Yeah. Let's keep striking. I was just gonna say, real quick Adam, you gotta go watch the Captain America movies. They're fucking great Those are dope. Oh, I saw winter soldiers. I never saw those the the first one is off the chain the second one Winter soldiers off the chain the third one civil wars all the spider-man's are worth a watch all the Captain

America's are worth a watch yeah, okay. Hey, look me go. I saw the spider-man scene my my bro showed me the scene Where all the spider-man's are talking to each other and I was like what fucking hoops Did they jump through to make this work the spider verse? Yeah, dude the multiverse based on the meme Yeah, I mean from the cartoon. Yeah, yeah, they have to yeah, that's crazy Because that's the thing they put in the fucking trailer and then everyone goes cool I've seen that on my phone. I'm gonna go see it perfect dollar dollar bills y'all well. This is a very very Hollywood episode up. I think we win.

Polywards. But you know what? We're striking. We're trying to get people aware as to what's happening. Yeah. This is a polycharged polyrate. Polyrate. Or striking.

Yeah. Back in due day. I guess I just, I wonder if people want to go see interesting movies anymore, or they just want to see big movies. Dude, I think they want to see interesting ones. I think you can take... I mean, I'm holding on to, I guess, a time... Well, I think they want to see cool movies.

Like, I don't know if they want to see really small movies, but I think they want to see like magical movies. Right, that's a big... I'm saying that's big. Like a big spectacle. Whether it's a big spectacle or like a Like a beetle juice wasn't necessarily huge spectacle, but it was really cool No one is making beetle juice now is what I'm saying beetle just to that's an interesting movie

Yeah, I think people would go see a cool movie like that. That's a very interesting movie beetle juice could be big though So so Adam, I guess what I'm saying is your change I'm saying there's big like spectacle and then there's interesting, which I think is what you're saying cool would be. All interesting. Yeah, I don't know. Yeah, but I don't see Beetlejuice isn't a small character study movie. No.

You know what I mean? It's still like a fun, weird, cool movie. No, it's not like heller high water. Heller high water is like a very character driven movie where there's just the three people talking, you know, you know, you know, Mrs. that. But both of those movies would fall under the, those are both small stories. They're not big spectacles. I think that, Beetlejuice was fantastically made, but it wasn't like some big elaborate like Beetlejuice, you could spend time in the sandworm world and it could be really crazy or go like way crazy.

The question is is back in the day was Beeljuice a like a tent pole? Was that the question? Because I think it was. It had to have been a massive. I was just saying if Beeljuice came out now, I think people would go see that in the theater if it

was marketed well. And if it wasn't anywhere else. And because you can't there is a musical right now, Beetlejuice the musical at Pantages, so I'm not gonna love to go with you guys. I would love to go with you guys. I would love to go with you guys.

Let's plan, let's plan a little bit. So you think people want to see interesting movies. I do, yeah, I think so. In the theater, I think they'll get in their car and go see interesting things. Interesting things. They'll be so nice to see those. That would be so interesting.

Yeah, something that's different, something that's a breath of fresh air, like we're just not getting that right? I know it's and it's hard and if it is if it is coming out It's very hard to find amongst the soup that is streaming It's not getting its own like time and then what like there you know how hard it is to find shit everybody calls everything Netflix It's like what are you talking about you don don't find this. Right. I'm calling that soup. Speaking of good word of mouth is my buddy, Jake Samansky, he directed the show, Jury duty on Amazon.

Yeah, I started watching it last night. It's so funny. I heard it's great. If you guys have some time, check it out. It Jake directed, Mike and Dave need wedding dates. He's super funny. And the package and the package, which we produced and the package now streaming on Netflix. And that streaming on Netflix. Great guy. He's a great guy.

He directed Jury Dooty. Cody Heller was the show runner. She did a fantastic job and it's just a really, really funny, funny show. Do you want to tell the premise? Yeah, so essentially it is a ton of hidden cameras and they say they're doing a documentary on jury duty and of the 12 jurors, 11 of them are actors

and there's one guy who thinks he's just there for jury duty. So all this crazy and the judge is an actor and the bailiff's an actor, everybody's an actor. Everybody's an actor except the dude.
