[00:01:35] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

[00:01:35] [SPEAKER_02]: And a room with a lot of books and reptiles.

[00:01:37] [SPEAKER_02]: That's correct.

[00:01:38] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

[00:01:38] [SPEAKER_02]: He just moved out.

[00:01:39] [SPEAKER_02]: Left his bed.

[00:01:40] [SPEAKER_02]: I took it.

[00:01:41] [SPEAKER_02]: So now I have a better bed.

[00:01:44] [SPEAKER_02]: Where did my bed?

[00:01:56] [SPEAKER_02]: It's called Great Books.

[00:01:57] [SPEAKER_02]: They do this thing called the Great Books curriculum.

[00:01:59] [SPEAKER_02]: I don't know.

[00:02:00] [SPEAKER_02]: Okay.

[00:02:00] [SPEAKER_02]: He packed a shit in a U-Haul

[00:02:02] [SPEAKER_02]: and drove to Santa Fe from Bedsty Brooklyn.

[00:02:05] [SPEAKER_02]: I'm tired of moving.

[00:02:06] [SPEAKER_02]: I think moving stupid.

[00:02:07] [SPEAKER_02]: Well, he really moved.

[00:02:09] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

[00:02:09] [SPEAKER_02]: It was a real move.

[00:02:10] [SPEAKER_02]: That's a bit moved.

[00:02:10] [SPEAKER_02]: But yeah, you forgot.

[00:02:11] [SPEAKER_02]: You said it in his bed once.

[00:02:12] [SPEAKER_02]: He had a 12-foot bone constrictor.

[00:02:15] [SPEAKER_02]: Maybe it was six foot.

[00:02:16] [SPEAKER_02]: It was a big snake.

[00:02:17] [SPEAKER_00]: You want to know the dumbest thing about this move my parents are making.

[00:02:19] [SPEAKER_00]: Go ahead.

[00:02:20] [SPEAKER_00]: And how much stress and anxiety it's cost me and how little sleep I'm getting all this stuff?

[00:02:24] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah sure.

[00:02:24] [SPEAKER_00]: You're really moving five blocks away.

[00:02:26] [SPEAKER_02]: Right.

[00:02:27] [SPEAKER_02]: They're moving within a neighborhood basically.

[00:02:29] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

[00:02:29] [SPEAKER_00]: And my dad, like we went and got dinner the other night.

[00:02:33] [SPEAKER_00]: Like in the quote unquote new neighborhood.

[00:02:34] [SPEAKER_00]: Right.

[00:02:35] [SPEAKER_00]: He's like, what do you think of the new neighborhood?

[00:02:36] [SPEAKER_00]: Pretty hip huh?

[00:02:38] [SPEAKER_00]: Five blocks.

[00:02:39] [SPEAKER_00]: But it's not a new neighborhood.

[00:02:40] [SPEAKER_00]: Is it?

[00:02:41] [SPEAKER_02]: No they're moving within the village.

[00:02:43] [SPEAKER_02]: They're moving like four avenues over.

[00:02:45] [SPEAKER_02]: All right.

[00:02:46] [SPEAKER_02]: Oh, new neighborhood.

[00:02:47] [SPEAKER_02]: Hey man.

[00:02:48] [SPEAKER_02]: If you live one place for how long have you lived in that place?

[00:02:51] [SPEAKER_02]: My dad's lived there for probably about 35 years.

[00:02:54] [SPEAKER_02]: You know?

[00:02:55] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

[00:02:55] [SPEAKER_02]: Things to change.

[00:02:56] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

[00:02:56] [SPEAKER_00]: I agree.

[00:02:57] [SPEAKER_00]: But that speaks more to the fact that my father never went beyond a five block.

[00:03:00] [SPEAKER_00]: He's a perky-o man.

[00:03:02] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

[00:03:02] [SPEAKER_00]: It's worth two blocks away from where he's lived for 35 years.

[00:03:08] [SPEAKER_00]: And sounds like a good life.

[00:03:09] [SPEAKER_00]: He has like only two places where he eats.

[00:03:11] [SPEAKER_00]: Really?

[00:03:13] [SPEAKER_02]: So I could go find your dad if I went to wherever.

[00:03:15] [SPEAKER_00]: Well, he used to always go to Grace of Pia on 8th.

[00:03:18] [SPEAKER_00]: I know on 8th and 6th.

[00:03:20] [SPEAKER_02]: That's yeah.

[00:03:20] [SPEAKER_00]: And it's gone now.

[00:03:21] [SPEAKER_02]: Got to mosh by a Laquatiria?

[00:03:23] [SPEAKER_02]: Your dad has been eating Grace of Pia hot dogs like as a meal for like decades.

[00:03:29] [SPEAKER_02]: Those things are not exactly like if I eat like three of those

[00:03:32] [SPEAKER_02]: it's an emergency.

[00:03:33] [SPEAKER_02]: Did I mention my father's dad?

[00:03:35] [SPEAKER_00]: That he died 25 years.

[00:03:36] [SPEAKER_02]: So when you say he's moving a few avenues over, you mean a few avenues into heaven?

[00:03:40] [SPEAKER_02]: He's a ghost dad.

[00:03:42] [SPEAKER_00]: Let's talk about ghost.

[00:03:43] [SPEAKER_00]: He's a ghost.

[00:03:44] [SPEAKER_00]: I direct to a city party, eh?

[00:03:47] [SPEAKER_00]: No, yeah.

[00:03:48] [SPEAKER_00]: My father, my father would only eat Grace of Pia.

[00:03:50] [SPEAKER_00]: He'd get the recession special, which was two dogs and dogs and a soda or whatever.

[00:03:55] [SPEAKER_00]: Right.

[00:03:56] [SPEAKER_00]: By the way, this is a podcast about a Star Wars episode two attack the clans, the sequel to the

[00:04:00] [SPEAKER_00]: second episode.

[00:04:02] [SPEAKER_00]: He would get the recession.

[00:04:04] [SPEAKER_00]: The recession is just too thin.

[00:04:07] [SPEAKER_00]: This isn't talking dad.

[00:04:09] [SPEAKER_00]: This is a.

[00:04:11] [SPEAKER_00]: That's a lot of cats.

[00:04:11] [SPEAKER_00]: Please go ahead.

[00:04:12] [SPEAKER_00]: Griffin, Dave, present attack the podcast where we talk about the second and final Star Wars film.

[00:04:16] [SPEAKER_01]: Now my dad, let me just though.

[00:04:17] [SPEAKER_00]: Let me finish up my dad and the more of time talk about that.

[00:04:20] [SPEAKER_00]: We have to.

[00:04:20] [SPEAKER_00]: I know we're another thing I want to talk about.

[00:04:21] [SPEAKER_00]: We all go back to talk about our dad.

[00:04:23] [SPEAKER_00]: He would order the recession special and then the actin's craze hit.

[00:04:28] [SPEAKER_00]: And my father was like, I do have a bit of a belly.

[00:04:30] [SPEAKER_00]: I should probably lose some weight.

[00:04:31] [SPEAKER_00]: So then he did what he called the modified actin's.

[00:04:33] [SPEAKER_00]: Right, which was he got the recession special without buns.

[00:04:37] [SPEAKER_00]: So he would just eat a craze with my own weiner.

[00:04:40] [SPEAKER_02]: It's just he two.

[00:04:42] [SPEAKER_02]: That's gross.

[00:04:43] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

[00:04:43] [SPEAKER_02]: And also how do you even like, how are you hand?

[00:04:45] [SPEAKER_02]: It's a hot tube of meat.

[00:04:47] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, they were just throw it out.

[00:04:49] [SPEAKER_02]: They threw it into his mouth.

[00:04:50] [SPEAKER_02]: I love Grace papaya.

[00:04:51] [SPEAKER_02]: There's it still exists on 72nd and Broadway.

[00:04:54] [SPEAKER_00]: That's the only other true pure Grace.

[00:04:56] [SPEAKER_00]: Pia, it's important to note there's a pie a dog.

[00:04:58] [SPEAKER_02]: I'm fine with the other papaya.

[00:05:00] [SPEAKER_02]: It's not the same thing.

[00:05:01] [SPEAKER_02]: You know, but if I want a cheap ass meal at like 11 at night or whatever in Manhattan.

[00:05:07] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, yeah.

[00:05:07] [SPEAKER_00]: But there's like the papaya dog on like, why is it like six avenue and like it's right next to the

[00:05:13] [SPEAKER_00]: IFC.

[00:05:13] [SPEAKER_00]: That's correct.

[00:05:13] [SPEAKER_00]: Like you're way, really.

[00:05:15] [SPEAKER_00]: And that one is fine.

[00:05:17] [SPEAKER_00]: But they also sell fucking like Philly cheese sticks and chicken fingers and all these things.

[00:05:21] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, it's horses.

[00:05:22] [SPEAKER_00]: You should just have hot dogs.

[00:05:23] [SPEAKER_00]: Well, that's something Grace and Pia just fucking knew.

[00:05:25] [SPEAKER_00]: It's like six fruit drinks.

[00:05:26] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

[00:05:27] [SPEAKER_02]: Well, the weird thing about Grace and Pia is they're like we're going to be a hot dog place.

[00:05:30] [SPEAKER_02]: And what are people like with hot dogs?

[00:05:32] [SPEAKER_02]: Papaya juice.

[00:05:34] [SPEAKER_02]: And exotic fruit drinks.

[00:05:36] [SPEAKER_02]: It really does feel like it's like someone's like I'm going to open a bagel store and like what

[00:05:40] [SPEAKER_02]: are people like with the gip bagels.

[00:05:41] [SPEAKER_02]: Papaya juice.

[00:05:42] [SPEAKER_02]: It doesn't match with anything.

[00:05:44] [SPEAKER_02]: But they just decided you know what they're going to have the fucking papaya juice.

[00:05:48] [SPEAKER_00]: I think the point you're making here is papaya juice doesn't go all of that.

[00:05:50] [SPEAKER_00]: It doesn't really go.

[00:05:51] [SPEAKER_00]: You don't really get it.

[00:05:53] [SPEAKER_00]: So you're just.

[00:05:54] [SPEAKER_02]: So I might my piece of news is not enough anyone's heard of no Edmunds.

[00:05:57] [SPEAKER_02]: I'm from I grew up in Britain.

[00:05:59] [SPEAKER_02]: It's better tie into your dad.

[00:06:00] [SPEAKER_02]: No, no, no, definitely.

[00:06:02] [SPEAKER_02]: Well, well kind of anyway.

[00:06:04] [SPEAKER_02]: No Edmunds is the host of the British dealer no deal.

[00:06:06] [SPEAKER_02]: Okay.

[00:06:07] [SPEAKER_02]: My favorite game show of all time.

[00:06:09] [SPEAKER_02]: The American version is your favorite of the British.

[00:06:11] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I just love how he.

[00:06:12] [SPEAKER_02]: You just love how he's the British dealer no deals very different.

[00:06:15] [SPEAKER_02]: How so?

[00:06:15] [SPEAKER_02]: Well, it's the same concept of your opening boxes.

[00:06:18] [SPEAKER_02]: It'll pounce.

[00:06:19] [SPEAKER_02]: That's true.

[00:06:19] [SPEAKER_02]: Money is in pounds.

[00:06:20] [SPEAKER_02]: But rather than girls holding the suitcases, which is I believe how it works in.

[00:06:25] [SPEAKER_02]: Yep.

[00:06:25] [SPEAKER_02]: In the American version.

[00:06:27] [SPEAKER_02]: The contestants all have a box.

[00:06:30] [SPEAKER_02]: There's 20 contestants are out over many boxes they are.

[00:06:32] [SPEAKER_02]: They all live in a hotel together.

[00:06:35] [SPEAKER_02]: It's a daily show at Monday to Friday's.

[00:06:39] [SPEAKER_02]: And every day a new one of them is chosen to be like the, you know, the the picker.

[00:06:44] [SPEAKER_02]: I don't know.

[00:06:44] [SPEAKER_02]: You don't know if you're.

[00:06:45] [SPEAKER_02]: And your and then you bring your box with you and you don't know what's in it.

[00:06:49] [SPEAKER_02]: And then a new person is added and they got a new box, you know.

[00:06:52] [SPEAKER_02]: It is and it's sort of said so they all know each other.

[00:06:55] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

[00:06:55] [SPEAKER_02]: And they've been living together for weeks, sometimes even months.

[00:06:58] [SPEAKER_02]: And they're really like there's a lot of like.

[00:07:01] [SPEAKER_02]: Jimmy I'm really rooting for you.

[00:07:03] [SPEAKER_02]: I'm really hoping that this is, you know, that there's a low number in this spot.

[00:07:05] [SPEAKER_02]: You know, like this is crazy.

[00:07:07] [SPEAKER_02]: It's really good.

[00:07:08] [SPEAKER_02]: And no, it means is the the host and he.

[00:07:10] [SPEAKER_02]: I think like how he does a lot of like, just talk to the banker.

[00:07:14] [SPEAKER_02]: Oh, I hate him.

[00:07:16] [SPEAKER_02]: I hate him.

[00:07:16] [SPEAKER_02]: I love you.

[00:07:17] [SPEAKER_02]: I hate him.

[00:07:18] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, he really plays it up anyway.

[00:07:20] [SPEAKER_02]: So I was addicted to dealing with you when I was in college.

[00:07:23] [SPEAKER_02]: He gave a bizarre new interview claiming that Wi-Fi is destroying our electro mad

[00:07:26] [SPEAKER_02]: negative fields and death does not exist.

[00:07:29] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, two good points.

[00:07:31] [SPEAKER_02]: He explained the key to happiness is to reimagine your physical body as a container of energy

[00:07:35] [SPEAKER_02]: that will return to a massive universal web when you die.

[00:07:39] [SPEAKER_02]: How else would anyone think of their body?

[00:07:40] [SPEAKER_02]: That's what that's what a body is.

[00:07:42] [SPEAKER_02]: And so he says you don't live life lives you.

[00:07:45] [SPEAKER_02]: There is no such thing as death.

[00:07:47] [SPEAKER_02]: It's just a departure.

[00:07:47] [SPEAKER_02]: You cannot die.

[00:07:48] [SPEAKER_02]: It's been known for a very long time.

[00:07:51] [SPEAKER_00]: It's Cameron Crow writing.

[00:07:52] [SPEAKER_02]: No, no, no, no, no.

[00:07:53] [SPEAKER_02]: My energy will return to where it came from.

[00:07:56] [SPEAKER_02]: Part of a massive incomprehensible universal web of energy.

[00:07:59] [SPEAKER_00]: You don't live life lives.

[00:08:01] [SPEAKER_00]: That's what I can know.

[00:08:02] [SPEAKER_00]: That's what he knows.

[00:08:02] [SPEAKER_02]: No, that's what he knows.

[00:08:03] [SPEAKER_02]: Well, he looks great.

[00:08:03] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, no, Edmunds used to host a show in the 90s called Noles House Party.

[00:08:07] [SPEAKER_02]: A British chat show.

[00:08:09] [SPEAKER_02]: That's very strange.

[00:08:11] [SPEAKER_02]: And then he kind of tailed, you know,

[00:08:12] [SPEAKER_02]: he had tailed, kind of vanished from media.

[00:08:14] [SPEAKER_02]: And then came back with deal in Noles, he said the reason that he had come back is because he had written down every day that he wanted to be like a success again.

[00:08:21] [SPEAKER_02]: He would just write it down like a hundred times.

[00:08:24] [SPEAKER_00]: I should do that.

[00:08:24] [SPEAKER_02]: He said that was the secret to sort of a, you know, the secret type.

[00:08:28] [SPEAKER_02]: That sounds amazing.

[00:08:28] [SPEAKER_02]: Anyway, no lemons.

[00:08:30] [SPEAKER_02]: Ben wants up to hear that.

[00:08:33] [SPEAKER_01]: Oh, God.

[00:08:34] [SPEAKER_01]: He's doing good.

[00:08:36] [SPEAKER_01]: Cool.

[00:08:37] [SPEAKER_01]: He's retired now.

[00:08:38] [SPEAKER_01]: Where's he live?

[00:08:38] [SPEAKER_01]: Where are you, Helph from Ben?

[00:08:40] [SPEAKER_01]: Uh, from New Jersey.

[00:08:41] [SPEAKER_01]: And Jay.

[00:08:43] [SPEAKER_01]: What?

[00:08:43] [SPEAKER_01]: Uh, the need.

[00:08:45] [SPEAKER_01]: But he, uh, the need.

[00:08:47] [SPEAKER_01]: Statebird the mosquito.

[00:08:48] [SPEAKER_01]: But my father was a painter and, um, like a house painter or a fine artist?

[00:08:53] [SPEAKER_01]: No, fine artists.

[00:08:53] [SPEAKER_01]: Hey, you lived in the East Village and he had an opportunity to buy this amazing apartment for no money.

[00:09:00] [SPEAKER_01]: Sure, there was a shit hole like late 60s and he didn't.

[00:09:03] [SPEAKER_01]: And that was my bread and butter.

[00:09:04] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, that's that's what I can see.

[00:09:07] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, you could be living in the city.

[00:09:11] [SPEAKER_02]: He's still a right now.

[00:09:12] [SPEAKER_02]: Right now.

[00:09:13] [SPEAKER_02]: I know.

[00:09:13] [SPEAKER_02]: He'd probably be really annoying though.

[00:09:16] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

[00:09:16] [SPEAKER_02]: There's a lot of electro smug there, probably.

[00:09:19] [SPEAKER_02]: Electro smug.

[00:09:19] [SPEAKER_02]: That's what no lemons is worrying against.

[00:09:21] [SPEAKER_02]: There's too much electro smug.

[00:09:25] [SPEAKER_02]: Uh, Star's episode two.

[00:09:26] [SPEAKER_02]: It's actually a clock.

[00:09:27] [SPEAKER_02]: I should get to it.

[00:09:27] [SPEAKER_02]: We're sick of this movie.

[00:09:28] [SPEAKER_02]: It's like, let's just let's just nine minutes.

[00:09:31] [SPEAKER_02]: Let's hold hands.

[00:09:32] [SPEAKER_02]: Let's hold hands.

[00:09:32] [SPEAKER_02]: Hold hands.

[00:09:33] [SPEAKER_02]: Hold hands.

[00:09:35] [SPEAKER_02]: And I'm sick of this movie.

[00:09:37] [SPEAKER_02]: I don't want to talk about it again.

[00:09:38] [SPEAKER_02]: We have about three more episodes to do.

[00:09:39] [SPEAKER_02]: We have three more episodes to do.

[00:09:41] [SPEAKER_02]: Okay.

[00:09:41] [SPEAKER_00]: This is one of them.

[00:09:43] [SPEAKER_00]: Right?

[00:09:44] [SPEAKER_00]: I think we have four including this one.

[00:09:46] [SPEAKER_00]: Eight, nine, ten.

[00:09:47] [SPEAKER_00]: What is this?

[00:09:48] [SPEAKER_00]: Seven or eight?

[00:09:48] [SPEAKER_00]: What is this?

[00:09:49] [SPEAKER_00]: We're recording this.

[00:09:50] [SPEAKER_00]: Oh, Jesus.

[00:09:50] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, boy.

[00:09:52] [SPEAKER_00]: It's okay.

[00:09:52] [SPEAKER_02]: We've got a plan down.

[00:09:53] [SPEAKER_02]: We just talked about it.

[00:09:55] [SPEAKER_02]: It's going to be totally fine.

[00:09:57] [SPEAKER_02]: How many minutes have you been recording Ben?

[00:10:00] [SPEAKER_02]: Ten minutes.

[00:10:01] [SPEAKER_02]: Just got a great great great great great great.

[00:10:03] [SPEAKER_02]: So we're here to talk about Star Wars 45 minutes.

[00:10:05] [SPEAKER_02]: I'm just going to tell you.

[00:10:05] [SPEAKER_02]: I can't tell you.

[00:10:06] [SPEAKER_02]: You thought we'd done it.

[00:10:08] [SPEAKER_00]: We're here.

[00:10:09] [SPEAKER_00]: Yes, that's why we're here.

[00:10:11] [SPEAKER_00]: Talk about episode two.

[00:10:12] [SPEAKER_02]: This is our dad's.

[00:10:13] [SPEAKER_02]: A talk of the clarn.

[00:10:14] [SPEAKER_02]: Without that.

[00:10:14] [SPEAKER_02]: We are here because it's true.

[00:10:16] [SPEAKER_00]: Good point.

[00:10:17] [SPEAKER_00]: Tie it all together.

[00:10:18] [SPEAKER_00]: We couldn't be here without the Daddyos upstairs.

[00:10:21] [SPEAKER_00]: They all are three dads live together in a part of above UCB companies recording studio.

[00:10:25] [SPEAKER_00]: The Daddyos upstairs.

[00:10:27] [SPEAKER_00]: They live on the 10th floor.

[00:10:28] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, we've been pitching that second to NBC for 18 days.

[00:10:31] [SPEAKER_00]: We keep saying to stop it.

[00:10:33] [SPEAKER_00]: We have never heard of these three men.

[00:10:35] [SPEAKER_00]: You got Sims, Hosley, Newman all together.

[00:10:39] [SPEAKER_00]: One apartment.

[00:10:40] [SPEAKER_02]: Why is this seven year old pitching me this?

[00:10:43] [SPEAKER_02]: I was just thinking, you know how I'm bow jack horse.

[00:10:44] [SPEAKER_02]: Have you watched Bow jack horse or not?

[00:10:45] [SPEAKER_02]: I did not.

[00:10:46] [SPEAKER_02]: There's this great bit in Joe Jackmore.

[00:10:48] [SPEAKER_02]: One of the characters starts dating what is very clearly three little boys stacked on top of each other.

[00:10:52] [SPEAKER_02]: Shoulders with where you get dredged go.

[00:10:54] [SPEAKER_02]: And one of their arms is like a broom because they can't obviously get fill out the trench.

[00:10:59] [SPEAKER_02]: And it's just very funny.

[00:11:00] [SPEAKER_02]: I was just thinking about that.

[00:11:01] [SPEAKER_00]: What if that had been us?

[00:11:02] [SPEAKER_00]: I'd been around Hollywood.

[00:11:04] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, yeah.

[00:11:04] [SPEAKER_00]: We would have sold it.

[00:11:05] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, we would.

[00:11:06] [SPEAKER_00]: We were missing only a trench coat.

[00:11:08] [SPEAKER_00]: I stand by this statement about to make kids talking on top of each other in a trench coat is one of the things that will always be funny.

[00:11:20] [SPEAKER_00]: Great.

[00:11:21] [SPEAKER_00]: Always funny.

[00:11:22] [SPEAKER_00]: I have never seen it not be funny.

[00:11:24] [SPEAKER_00]: I've never heard someone reference it and not laughed out loud.

[00:11:27] [SPEAKER_00]: It's always the fucking best.

[00:11:30] [SPEAKER_00]: And every way the idea of it is funny.

[00:11:32] [SPEAKER_00]: The visual itself is funny.

[00:11:34] [SPEAKER_00]: They move funny.

[00:11:36] [SPEAKER_00]: The voices are funny.

[00:11:37] [SPEAKER_00]: Like everything about it is funny.

[00:11:38] [SPEAKER_02]: But it's being they want to accomplish his funny.

[00:11:40] [SPEAKER_02]: It's funny that they want to accomplish it.

[00:11:42] [SPEAKER_02]: And they want to accomplish it.

[00:11:43] [SPEAKER_02]: And they want to accomplish it.

[00:11:44] [SPEAKER_00]: And it's funny that they would still think it could work.

[00:11:48] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, right.

[00:11:49] [SPEAKER_02]: Even though that's a commonly known trope at this point.

[00:11:51] [SPEAKER_00]: And the trope is that it's not convincing.

[00:11:53] [SPEAKER_02]: And it's usually to buy alcohol or get into a movie.

[00:11:56] [SPEAKER_02]: It's a very innocuous thing.

[00:11:57] [SPEAKER_02]: The movie wants the fun.

[00:11:58] [SPEAKER_02]: The movie wants it.

[00:11:59] [SPEAKER_02]: Obviously the fun.

[00:12:00] [SPEAKER_02]: Because what movie could possibly justify?

[00:12:02] [SPEAKER_00]: It really helps cop too.

[00:12:04] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

[00:12:04] [SPEAKER_02]: So true.

[00:12:05] [SPEAKER_02]: Oh my god.

[00:12:06] [SPEAKER_00]: So much of a trend.

[00:12:09] [SPEAKER_00]: Like that it's a trend coat is so funny too.

[00:12:14] [SPEAKER_02]: Anyway.

[00:12:15] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

[00:12:15] [SPEAKER_02]: Attack of the clones.

[00:12:16] [SPEAKER_00]: Today we're talking about the car.

[00:12:18] [SPEAKER_00]: The car is politics.

[00:12:20] [SPEAKER_00]: Don't turn off your podcast.

[00:12:21] [SPEAKER_00]: It's too late.

[00:12:22] [SPEAKER_00]: This isn't going to be C-Span.

[00:12:23] [SPEAKER_02]: We got a fun, a reverent twist.

[00:12:25] [SPEAKER_02]: We should talk about the fact that the Senate does kind of look like C-Span though.

[00:12:28] [SPEAKER_02]: It does.

[00:12:30] [SPEAKER_02]: We're trying C-Span.

[00:12:31] [SPEAKER_00]: This is, we've watched two of these fucking fan-of-man movies now.

[00:12:35] [SPEAKER_00]: We've talked a lot about it in the sidelines.

[00:12:36] [SPEAKER_00]: I don't understand how the fucking political system works in these movies.

[00:12:41] [SPEAKER_00]: And I want to, I want to fucking dig into it because I can't hear what the structure is.

[00:12:44] [SPEAKER_00]: But I can try.

[00:12:45] [SPEAKER_00]: We've got to ask questions though.

[00:12:48] [SPEAKER_02]: These two films.

[00:12:50] [SPEAKER_02]: That's the only way you get answers is by asking questions.

[00:12:53] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

[00:12:53] [SPEAKER_00]: Not guaranteed.

[00:12:55] [SPEAKER_02]: No but that's the only way.

[00:12:57] [SPEAKER_00]: I could also say, any of someone's giving me an answer to a question I didn't ask.

[00:13:00] [SPEAKER_00]: I'm actually angry.

[00:13:01] [SPEAKER_00]: Like even if it is helpful, I'm like, fuck you, you know?

[00:13:05] [SPEAKER_02]: Absolutely.

[00:13:07] [SPEAKER_00]: Uh, two of these movies.

[00:13:09] [SPEAKER_00]: The galactic republic, the Senate, whoever the chancellor is, all the senators, these things

[00:13:16] [SPEAKER_00]: The actors heavily into the plot.

[00:13:18] [SPEAKER_00]: Of course, that's the motivation for everything.

[00:13:20] [SPEAKER_00]: Right.

[00:13:21] [SPEAKER_00]: And if anything, quietly on the sidelines, this fucking like palpating rise to power

[00:13:26] [SPEAKER_00]: and is maybe the most interesting in the movie.

[00:13:28] [SPEAKER_02]: And it's sort of obviously modeled on a sort of hit-lo-rise to power thing.

[00:13:32] [SPEAKER_02]: Right.

[00:13:33] [SPEAKER_02]: You know, he's like engineering, oh, Jesus.

[00:13:36] [SPEAKER_02]: Turn your fucking sonoff Griffin.

[00:13:37] [SPEAKER_02]: He's engineering like out, you know, um,

[00:13:41] [SPEAKER_02]: crises, external crises to vault his way up into power.

[00:13:47] [SPEAKER_02]: And eventually suspend power.

[00:13:48] [SPEAKER_02]: Yes.

[00:13:49] [SPEAKER_00]: But Georgie Portuguese combining a lot of different things here.

[00:13:53] [SPEAKER_02]: Because it's like, and he's doing a lot of allegorical stuff.

[00:13:55] [SPEAKER_00]: He's very much a hit-ler figure.

[00:13:58] [SPEAKER_02]: But then George George Lucas, George Lucas is very much a hit-ler figure.

[00:14:00] [SPEAKER_00]: And then he based one of the characters on himself.

[00:14:04] [SPEAKER_00]: Chancellor Palpatine.

[00:14:05] [SPEAKER_01]: But then he wasn't able to direct him very well.

[00:14:06] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

[00:14:07] [SPEAKER_00]: Well, because it's just too close to home, right?

[00:14:09] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

[00:14:09] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

[00:14:10] [SPEAKER_01]: Of course, that's the problem.

[00:14:11] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

[00:14:11] [SPEAKER_01]: I'm a very personal project for him.

[00:14:12] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah. He's like looking in a mirror.

[00:14:16] [SPEAKER_02]: Palpatine obviously, yes.

[00:14:17] [SPEAKER_02]: A dictator figure.

[00:14:19] [SPEAKER_00]: But then the galactic sense scenes very much feel like based on the American Senate.

[00:14:24] [SPEAKER_00]: Sure. The current gridlock.

[00:14:27] [SPEAKER_02]: The clowns in Washington, and I like to call them.

[00:14:29] [SPEAKER_02]: Right. And I don't call it so much of Congresses of Circus.

[00:14:31] [SPEAKER_02]: The fat cats on Capitol Hill.

[00:14:33] [SPEAKER_02]: And those two.

[00:14:35] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

[00:14:35] [SPEAKER_00]: Right.

[00:14:35] [SPEAKER_00]: That's in the fat dogs.

[00:14:36] [SPEAKER_00]: This idea that it's all this petty arguing.

[00:14:39] [SPEAKER_00]: There are some fat dogs in here.

[00:14:39] [SPEAKER_02]: Why don't you have to be cats?

[00:14:41] [SPEAKER_02]: I just never understood that.

[00:14:42] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah. You know what that is?

[00:14:43] [SPEAKER_02]: Is it because cats are when their fat, like,

[00:14:45] [SPEAKER_02]: or seems kind of lazy and dogs when their fat are just kind of cute?

[00:14:48] [SPEAKER_02]: Is that is?

[00:14:49] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

[00:14:49] [SPEAKER_00]: I think fat dogs still fucking get around.

[00:14:51] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah. Because like a fat dog.

[00:14:52] [SPEAKER_02]: It's like, well, you're a dog. You're dumb anyway.

[00:14:54] [SPEAKER_02]: I love dogs. Like dogs are the best.

[00:14:56] [SPEAKER_02]: Cats when their fat, you're like,

[00:14:58] [SPEAKER_02]: Like, you're not supposed to be fat.

[00:14:59] [SPEAKER_02]: You're like a live animal.

[00:15:01] [SPEAKER_02]: Like you're supposed to be able to jump around.

[00:15:03] [SPEAKER_00]: Just be like, live them.

[00:15:04] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah. You've been ruined.

[00:15:06] [SPEAKER_00]: Uh, I think I actually have the answer.

[00:15:08] [SPEAKER_00]: I think Garfield fucked it up for all cats.

[00:15:09] [SPEAKER_00]: Ah, Garfield.

[00:15:10] [SPEAKER_00]: You know what I'm saying?

[00:15:11] [SPEAKER_00]: Like he was fat.

[00:15:12] [SPEAKER_00]: He allowed cats to be fat.

[00:15:13] [SPEAKER_00]: You're saying?

[00:15:14] [SPEAKER_00]: Well, he was fat and he was such a piece of shit.

[00:15:17] [SPEAKER_00]: Oh, he's a...

[00:15:18] [SPEAKER_00]: That suddenly the shorthand for like,

[00:15:19] [SPEAKER_00]: Okay, what's the worst kind of thing?

[00:15:21] [SPEAKER_02]: Oh, we think it comes from Garfield.

[00:15:22] [SPEAKER_02]: It's like, oh, the fat cat.

[00:15:23] [SPEAKER_02]: Just from America is hatred of Garfield.

[00:15:25] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, you're just fucking get fat.

[00:15:26] [SPEAKER_00]: You sit around and complain. You fuck with a dog.

[00:15:28] [SPEAKER_00]: I'm looking up to go out to grab a connoisseur.

[00:15:30] [SPEAKER_00]: Okay, please do.

[00:15:32] [SPEAKER_00]: Um, but yeah, that grid lock that like,

[00:15:34] [SPEAKER_00]: We can't get anything done.

[00:15:35] [SPEAKER_00]: It's all this petty fighting.

[00:15:36] [SPEAKER_00]: But then simultaneously with an Anakin fucking talks about this.

[00:15:41] [SPEAKER_00]: A like dictator figure.

[00:15:42] [SPEAKER_00]: A man rising to power with trying to accrue the political weight

[00:15:49] [SPEAKER_00]: to make his wills reality with no interference.

[00:15:53] [SPEAKER_02]: Right, he's looking to...

[00:15:55] [SPEAKER_02]: I mean, I think I am foth the will.

[00:15:57] [SPEAKER_02]: You could say is what he's aiming for.

[00:15:58] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, exactly.

[00:15:59] [SPEAKER_02]: I mean, it's as if like,

[00:16:02] [SPEAKER_02]: there's plenty of sci-fi movies, fantasy movies

[00:16:04] [SPEAKER_02]: where there's like an evil emperor.

[00:16:07] [SPEAKER_02]: More, you know, a lord of,

[00:16:08] [SPEAKER_02]: you know, and he's just...

[00:16:10] [SPEAKER_02]: He's just in charge of the whole world

[00:16:13] [SPEAKER_02]: or the whole galaxy.

[00:16:14] [SPEAKER_02]: And that's what he's actually exactly.

[00:16:16] [SPEAKER_02]: Actually trying to explain how that could come about.

[00:16:18] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, which I don't think anyone gives a shit about.

[00:16:21] [SPEAKER_00]: No.

[00:16:21] [SPEAKER_00]: No, but that's your point.

[00:16:23] [SPEAKER_00]: Most movies where there's a bad guy who rules over everything, like, lords, whatever.

[00:16:26] [SPEAKER_02]: It's just... that's literally...

[00:16:28] [SPEAKER_00]: This is the bad guy he debat shittin'.

[00:16:29] [SPEAKER_00]: Boom.

[00:16:30] [SPEAKER_00]: And good people want to take him down.

[00:16:32] [SPEAKER_00]: Good he's versus baddies.

[00:16:35] [SPEAKER_00]: But this is like how many different times

[00:16:37] [SPEAKER_00]: would a guy have to get reelected?

[00:16:40] [SPEAKER_03]: Right.

[00:16:41] [SPEAKER_00]: And climb the ramps.

[00:16:42] [SPEAKER_00]: How could he pull that off?

[00:16:43] [SPEAKER_02]: That will position to get to a point

[00:16:44] [SPEAKER_02]: or no, I can tell now.

[00:16:45] [SPEAKER_02]: And one reason it doesn't make a ton of sense.

[00:16:47] [SPEAKER_02]: So the arc in the assume of his is,

[00:16:49] [SPEAKER_02]: and the first movie, Palpatine, is a lowly senator from Naboo,

[00:16:53] [SPEAKER_02]: which is like a small system, small peaceful planet.

[00:16:56] [SPEAKER_02]: And because of the Naboo crisis

[00:16:57] [SPEAKER_02]: and his like, deaf handling of it

[00:17:00] [SPEAKER_02]: and the other chancellor, chancellor of the lorums,

[00:17:03] [SPEAKER_02]: poor handling of it, he gets to be chancellor.

[00:17:05] [SPEAKER_02]: It's like a right place right time.

[00:17:07] [SPEAKER_02]: He climbs the ladder at the right place at the right time.

[00:17:09] [SPEAKER_02]: And obviously as we know, Palpatine is secretly

[00:17:11] [SPEAKER_02]: orchestrating the whole Naboo thing, obviously, to that end.

[00:17:13] [SPEAKER_02]: As Darth Sidious?

[00:17:15] [SPEAKER_02]: He is the titular Phantom Menace.

[00:17:17] [SPEAKER_02]: He's playing one side against the other.

[00:17:19] [SPEAKER_02]: And he's leading both sides, basically.

[00:17:22] [SPEAKER_02]: And movie two?

[00:17:24] [SPEAKER_02]: He's still doing it.

[00:17:25] [SPEAKER_02]: He has Duke who now pulling the strings for the separatists.

[00:17:27] [SPEAKER_02]: Right.

[00:17:28] [SPEAKER_02]: And the separatists crisis lets him basically get an army

[00:17:32] [SPEAKER_02]: for himself as Supreme Chancellor.

[00:17:35] [SPEAKER_00]: Not to mention, he knows that Padme, as a woman of deep integrity,

[00:17:41] [SPEAKER_00]: will try to shut down any of his plans.

[00:17:44] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

[00:17:45] [SPEAKER_00]: So he's like, let's fucking try to kill Padme.

[00:17:48] [SPEAKER_00]: Right.

[00:17:50] [SPEAKER_00]: Here's a quick sidebar question.

[00:17:51] [SPEAKER_00]: Do you think his goal was to kill Padme or to scare her so that she goes off the grid like that?

[00:17:57] [SPEAKER_02]: Not sure.

[00:17:58] [SPEAKER_02]: It's a good question because obviously he's orchestrating

[00:17:59] [SPEAKER_02]: the assassination through eight back channels.

[00:18:02] [SPEAKER_00]: And it fucks up.

[00:18:03] [SPEAKER_00]: But then he in the next scene pushes really hard,

[00:18:06] [SPEAKER_00]: like you should just go on the lamb.

[00:18:07] [SPEAKER_00]: And it almost seems like that's what he is playing the whole time.

[00:18:10] [SPEAKER_00]: He probably knows Padme long enough to know like,

[00:18:12] [SPEAKER_00]: it's gonna be hard to kill him.

[00:18:13] [SPEAKER_00]: Whatever you think his Padme is not Padme.

[00:18:15] [SPEAKER_00]: Oh, that's true.

[00:18:15] [SPEAKER_00]: If you punch Padme, Padme then takes like,

[00:18:18] [SPEAKER_00]: she's holding off a newspaper and a background

[00:18:20] [SPEAKER_00]: and wearing a funny mustache,

[00:18:22] [SPEAKER_00]: stacked up on top of three of the kids.

[00:18:24] [SPEAKER_00]: I wish that was happening.

[00:18:25] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

[00:18:26] [SPEAKER_02]: A dexter's diner.

[00:18:27] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

[00:18:28] [SPEAKER_02]: Dexter's diner.

[00:18:29] [SPEAKER_00]: But yeah, he gets out of the picture so that he knows he can

[00:18:34] [SPEAKER_00]: fucking get dumb as a bagger ox,

[00:18:36] [SPEAKER_00]: charge our bing to represent her vote.

[00:18:39] [SPEAKER_02]: Who he manipulates, doesn't he?

[00:18:41] [SPEAKER_02]: He's like, is it that he says like out loud near

[00:18:44] [SPEAKER_02]: the judge of he's like,

[00:18:44] [SPEAKER_02]: oh, I wish someone would.

[00:18:46] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I mean, manipulate.

[00:18:48] [SPEAKER_00]: I mean, it's like,

[00:18:49] [SPEAKER_00]: I think.

[00:18:49] [SPEAKER_00]: Jarder has no morals, no backbone.

[00:18:52] [SPEAKER_00]: You could convince Jar Jar of anything.

[00:18:54] [SPEAKER_00]: But here's the thing.

[00:18:55] [SPEAKER_00]: Oh, you could stand extra Jar Jar and be like,

[00:18:56] [SPEAKER_00]: man, I wish Jar Jar would kill himself.

[00:18:58] [SPEAKER_00]: And Jar Jar would kill himself.

[00:18:59] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

[00:18:59] [SPEAKER_02]: Both movies hinge on this moment where Padme

[00:19:03] [SPEAKER_02]: gets someone to do something for him.

[00:19:05] [SPEAKER_02]: So in the first movie Padme,

[00:19:08] [SPEAKER_02]: you know, photo no confidence in Chancellor Velorum.

[00:19:10] [SPEAKER_02]: And for some reason, even though there are a million

[00:19:13] [SPEAKER_02]: senators and just like two ball that they live in filled with

[00:19:17] [SPEAKER_02]: like little flying platforms.

[00:19:18] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

[00:19:18] [SPEAKER_02]: No one has the guts to do it.

[00:19:20] [SPEAKER_02]: Padme does it.

[00:19:21] [SPEAKER_02]: And then the second movie same thing.

[00:19:22] [SPEAKER_02]: I wish someone would, you know, vote for an army

[00:19:24] [SPEAKER_02]: of the Republican.

[00:19:26] [SPEAKER_02]: Jar Jar Bing.

[00:19:27] [SPEAKER_02]: Okay, so in this system,

[00:19:28] [SPEAKER_02]: do you just need one vote to get something passed?

[00:19:30] [SPEAKER_02]: You need one vote to propose it, I guess?

[00:19:32] [SPEAKER_02]: That's what I'm asking, right?

[00:19:33] [SPEAKER_02]: It seems silly that it's not come up before.

[00:19:35] [SPEAKER_00]: And like the Jar Jar Bings thing is it like,

[00:19:38] [SPEAKER_00]: because he's Jar Jar is not proposing it.

[00:19:40] [SPEAKER_00]: Is it like, oh, they were deadlocked high.

[00:19:42] [SPEAKER_00]: They need one additional vote at a 50 million votes.

[00:19:48] [SPEAKER_00]: It's a dead tyrant at 25 million.

[00:19:51] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

[00:19:51] [SPEAKER_02]: Here's some backstory on the galactic center.

[00:19:53] [SPEAKER_02]: You please.

[00:19:54] [SPEAKER_02]: The galactic constitution invested it with a

[00:19:55] [SPEAKER_02]: power to regulate trade, maintain maps of

[00:19:58] [SPEAKER_02]: hyper space routes.

[00:20:00] [SPEAKER_02]: And how to Supreme Chancellor, originally.

[00:20:03] [SPEAKER_00]: So this is all just about fucking trade and wait.

[00:20:06] [SPEAKER_02]: If you just have originally, if you have a planet,

[00:20:09] [SPEAKER_02]: you just get to be in it.

[00:20:11] [SPEAKER_02]: Okay.

[00:20:12] [SPEAKER_02]: And then I think it seems like it changes.

[00:20:14] [SPEAKER_02]: I don't know, this is like so long.

[00:20:16] [SPEAKER_00]: See, this is what's, this is, I'm already.

[00:20:18] [SPEAKER_00]: I'm sorry.

[00:20:18] [SPEAKER_00]: I'm so happy with panic attack about this.

[00:20:20] [SPEAKER_00]: Can you click on galactic constitution?

[00:20:22] [SPEAKER_00]: Because I think this is just a fucking rabbit hole.

[00:20:24] [SPEAKER_00]: We're going to keep on going down.

[00:20:25] [SPEAKER_00]: It is, it is linked to.

[00:20:27] [SPEAKER_00]: This is why I don't understand.

[00:20:28] [SPEAKER_00]: So originally used to be any planet gets represented.

[00:20:31] [SPEAKER_00]: That makes sense.

[00:20:32] [SPEAKER_02]: The, the constitution was written in 25,000 B.B. Why?

[00:20:37] [SPEAKER_02]: So we're talking about 25,000 years before this movie.

[00:20:40] [SPEAKER_02]: Born before Yota.

[00:20:41] [SPEAKER_02]: By a member of House Organa, which is Jimmy Smith's house.

[00:20:44] [SPEAKER_02]: So that's how long Jimmy Smith's family's been around 25,000 years.

[00:20:50] [SPEAKER_02]: It's the same constitution, although it has been modified.

[00:20:55] [SPEAKER_02]: And it creates a Senate and a Supreme Court.

[00:20:58] [SPEAKER_02]: It's just a ripoff of our system.

[00:21:00] [SPEAKER_00]: But is it like the UN? Is it like NATO?

[00:21:04] [SPEAKER_00]: No, it's like the American government.

[00:21:06] [SPEAKER_00]: And each planet essentially functions as a state.

[00:21:09] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, exactly. You nailed it.

[00:21:10] [SPEAKER_00]: How meaningless do you feel if you're an entire internet.

[00:21:13] [SPEAKER_00]: I know.

[00:21:13] [SPEAKER_02]: Imagine if there were 50 million states.

[00:21:17] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

[00:21:18] [SPEAKER_00]: And each state was that large and had to think, okay.

[00:21:20] [SPEAKER_00]: So the one planet of Naboo, which functions as a state.

[00:21:23] [SPEAKER_00]: Little planet.

[00:21:24] [SPEAKER_00]: Right.

[00:21:25] [SPEAKER_00]: We see how different the fucking Gungins live from how the humans live.

[00:21:29] [SPEAKER_00]: True.

[00:21:30] [SPEAKER_00]: Not to mention all the wacky spooky sea creatures.

[00:21:34] [SPEAKER_00]: And you're telling me one person gets a vote to represent all of them.

[00:21:38] [SPEAKER_00]: When the Gungins don't even seem to fucking respect,

[00:21:40] [SPEAKER_00]: it's only the end of a massive there like, okay, Pat,

[00:21:42] [SPEAKER_00]: but we can work together.

[00:21:44] [SPEAKER_02]: This is all very fair. It's all very true.

[00:21:47] [SPEAKER_02]: So the Galactic Senate has 2,000 congresspeople.

[00:21:56] [SPEAKER_02]: Okay.

[00:21:56] [SPEAKER_02]: And the system's individual planets, corporations and guilds.

[00:22:00] [SPEAKER_02]: Imagine being someone who's assigned to speak for an entire system of planets.

[00:22:04] [SPEAKER_02]: Some are elected directly.

[00:22:06] [SPEAKER_02]: Some are appointed by a planets ruler.

[00:22:08] [SPEAKER_02]: Some are a planet ruler.

[00:22:11] [SPEAKER_02]: And they are the only ones that voting power.

[00:22:13] [SPEAKER_00]: How does it feel?

[00:22:14] [SPEAKER_02]: I don't know.

[00:22:16] [SPEAKER_02]: You could join or be a signatory to someone who had joined.

[00:22:19] [SPEAKER_00]: But is it like the UN?

[00:22:20] [SPEAKER_00]: Is it like NATO?

[00:22:22] [SPEAKER_02]: You asked that already. You asked the five seconds.

[00:22:23] [SPEAKER_02]: I don't fucking know.

[00:22:25] [SPEAKER_00]: I think it's like art.

[00:22:26] [SPEAKER_00]: But here's the thing.

[00:22:28] [SPEAKER_00]: So you're telling me whoever the chancellor is is allowed to tell every single fucking plan at what to do?

[00:22:35] [SPEAKER_02]: No, because the chancellor's like the president, right?

[00:22:39] [SPEAKER_00]: The president of the galaxy?

[00:22:43] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

[00:22:44] [SPEAKER_00]: The universe?

[00:22:45] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

[00:22:46] [SPEAKER_01]: Maybe.

[00:22:47] [SPEAKER_01]: Well, of the Republic of the organization that is helping to...

[00:22:51] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

[00:22:52] [SPEAKER_02]: The Senate is led by a Supreme Chancellor.

[00:22:54] [SPEAKER_02]: So it's kind of like a speaker.

[00:22:56] [SPEAKER_02]: You know?

[00:22:58] [SPEAKER_01]: So maybe he's almost more kind of like more of a prime minister than a president.

[00:23:03] [SPEAKER_01]: Kind of. Exactly.

[00:23:04] [SPEAKER_02]: Okay, but he's elected by the representatives at the Senate.

[00:23:08] [SPEAKER_02]: He could serve two-four year terms before having to retire.

[00:23:12] [SPEAKER_00]: But they...

[00:23:12] [SPEAKER_02]: Their main function is just to figure out fucking trade routes.

[00:23:15] [SPEAKER_02]: Here's an interesting thing.

[00:23:17] [SPEAKER_02]: All of the chancellor's elected between 1400 BBY and 1000 BBY.

[00:23:22] [SPEAKER_02]: Again, attack the clones takes place in a like...

[00:23:24] [SPEAKER_02]: 40 BBY.

[00:23:25] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, that sounds better right.

[00:23:26] [SPEAKER_02]: All the chancellor's elected in that period, in this 400 year period, were Jedi.

[00:23:32] [SPEAKER_02]: Oh, shit!

[00:23:32] [SPEAKER_02]: But then that was broken by some other guy.

[00:23:36] [SPEAKER_02]: It was all 1000 years before the movie doesn't matter.

[00:23:38] [SPEAKER_02]: They were Jedi.

[00:23:39] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, so they used to be Jedi.

[00:23:41] [SPEAKER_00]: Right. They trained Jedi to be keepers of the peace.

[00:23:44] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

[00:23:45] [SPEAKER_02]: They would be good at that.

[00:23:46] [SPEAKER_02]: Anyway, apparently the Supreme Chancellor is not an important position until Palpatine takes it over.

[00:23:50] [SPEAKER_02]: Before then, it is kind of like a functionary trying to corral all these people.

[00:23:55] [SPEAKER_02]: Palpatine's the one who kind of turns it into a dictatorship.

[00:23:59] [SPEAKER_00]: Just feel like a fucking give up.

[00:24:00] [SPEAKER_00]: I don't...

[00:24:02] [SPEAKER_00]: So the...

[00:24:03] [SPEAKER_00]: It's...

[00:24:04] [SPEAKER_00]: They're all they're really dealing with.

[00:24:06] [SPEAKER_00]: It seems in the first movie is where you're allowed to trade.

[00:24:09] [SPEAKER_00]: What routes you're allowed to use?

[00:24:10] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, it's all over.

[00:24:11] [SPEAKER_00]: It's all over.

[00:24:11] [SPEAKER_00]: Right.

[00:24:13] [SPEAKER_00]: And the threat is...

[00:24:15] [SPEAKER_00]: We can't get these guys to listen to us.

[00:24:18] [SPEAKER_00]: But why should they?

[00:24:19] [SPEAKER_02]: The threat is, yeah, and there's no movement.

[00:24:21] [SPEAKER_02]: It's like, oh, while they're doing a blockade, the Senate can deal with it, but they got a vote that takes forever.

[00:24:25] [SPEAKER_02]: They need a committee hearing the trade Federation has their slowing down.

[00:24:29] [SPEAKER_02]: Our feeling was on yet.

[00:24:31] [SPEAKER_02]: It's... it's a look-y-duck.

[00:24:32] [SPEAKER_02]: George Lucas is so mad about Garfield being all that looks on yet.

[00:24:35] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

[00:24:35] [SPEAKER_02]: And he goes and writes to movies about it.

[00:24:37] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

[00:24:37] [SPEAKER_02]: But then he also includes like space bet.

[00:24:39] [SPEAKER_00]: I know we're beating a dead horse here, but George Lucas has so much money and he can do whatever the fuck he wants.

[00:24:44] [SPEAKER_00]: Why does he care?

[00:24:46] [SPEAKER_00]: Why is this stuff erking him so much?

[00:24:49] [SPEAKER_02]: I don't know.

[00:24:50] [SPEAKER_02]: I don't know.

[00:24:51] [SPEAKER_02]: Well, let's remember the era that this movie is coming on too fast.

[00:24:55] [SPEAKER_02]: Yes.

[00:24:56] [SPEAKER_02]: This movie is coming out after 9-11.

[00:24:57] [SPEAKER_02]: Different times.

[00:24:58] [SPEAKER_02]: Different time.

[00:24:59] [SPEAKER_02]: And it's coming about at a time when the presidency in America is becoming a little imperial.

[00:25:04] [SPEAKER_02]: Mm-hmm.

[00:25:04] [SPEAKER_02]: Now I don't know when George Lucas wrote these movies.

[00:25:06] [SPEAKER_02]: Apparently he'd been working on them since the 70s.

[00:25:09] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

[00:25:09] [SPEAKER_02]: Really?

[00:25:10] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

[00:25:10] [SPEAKER_02]: I know.

[00:25:11] [SPEAKER_02]: It's crazy, right?

[00:25:12] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

[00:25:13] [SPEAKER_02]: He's like early 70s.

[00:25:14] [SPEAKER_02]: And George Lucas is a politically involved man.

[00:25:17] [SPEAKER_02]: And he was originally going to make a apocalypse now in the 70s as this documentary

[00:25:22] [SPEAKER_02]: style Vietnam movie where he was going to try to incorporate real footage of the war,

[00:25:27] [SPEAKER_02]: which was very against, you know, and the horrors of it.

[00:25:32] [SPEAKER_02]: And then it got handed off to French for a couple who was like, you know what, heart attack.

[00:25:35] [SPEAKER_02]: Let's abandon all this documentary shit and do like the most blown out cinematic thing ever.

[00:25:41] [SPEAKER_02]: Well, American graffiti is very anti war.

[00:25:44] [SPEAKER_02]: Yes.

[00:25:45] [SPEAKER_02]: It's very much about that generation, that lost genesis of these men who go to Vietnam.

[00:25:49] [SPEAKER_02]: It's a clean spot.

[00:25:51] [SPEAKER_02]: So I think maybe George Lucas is grind in the ax again because what is attack of clones about militarism?

[00:25:58] [SPEAKER_02]: It's about like the sort of the rise of militarism.

[00:26:03] [SPEAKER_00]: Okay, but this is my question, David.

[00:26:05] [SPEAKER_00]: What's your question?

[00:26:05] [SPEAKER_00]: Are they the UN?

[00:26:07] [SPEAKER_00]: No, my real question is.

[00:26:09] [SPEAKER_00]: I was briefly afraid that was actually your question.

[00:26:12] [SPEAKER_00]: My real question is, in this film the whole thing,

[00:26:18] [SPEAKER_00]: fucking palpatine's entire bag.

[00:26:19] [SPEAKER_00]: I'm scratching myself.

[00:26:20] [SPEAKER_00]: I'm fucking curiously covered in lesions from sleeping on a floor.

[00:26:27] [SPEAKER_00]: All he wants to do is militarize the galactic republic.

[00:26:30] [SPEAKER_00]: He wants the galactic republic to have an army.

[00:26:32] [SPEAKER_00]: But it doesn't sound like galactic republic up until this point has really dealt with wars.

[00:26:38] [SPEAKER_00]: It sounds like they're fucking dealing with just like the logistics of like how we all

[00:26:41] [SPEAKER_00]: communicate with each other, send shit to each other.

[00:26:44] [SPEAKER_00]: It's like they're just like a central hub for like,

[00:26:46] [SPEAKER_00]: make sure we're all in the same fucking hate trade routes.

[00:26:49] [SPEAKER_00]: So what army do they want to fight against anyone who is not in the galactic republic?

[00:26:52] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, the separatists.

[00:26:54] [SPEAKER_01]: But then also weren't the Sith.

[00:26:57] [SPEAKER_01]: Wasn't that a thing that happened previously?

[00:26:59] [SPEAKER_01]: That is true.

[00:27:01] [SPEAKER_01]: Thousands of years ago the Sith were up to no good.

[00:27:04] [SPEAKER_01]: Right here.

[00:27:05] [SPEAKER_01]: So there must have been war at some point.

[00:27:07] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, they didn't have an army at that point.

[00:27:09] [SPEAKER_00]: But now that they're only literally two Sith left in the entire galaxy.

[00:27:14] [SPEAKER_01]: Now they're getting it together.

[00:27:14] [SPEAKER_02]: They need an army.

[00:27:15] [SPEAKER_02]: There was an incident called the old Sith wars.

[00:27:20] [SPEAKER_02]: The old loading loading.

[00:27:22] [SPEAKER_02]: 4,000 BBY in the post after the postman derone period.

[00:27:27] [SPEAKER_02]: This has all been written down on the internet.

[00:27:30] [SPEAKER_02]: It's crazy.

[00:27:31] [SPEAKER_00]: It's literally insane.

[00:27:33] [SPEAKER_02]: It's like fan and even if we drop the veil and acknowledge that there's more Star Wars shit in the world.

[00:27:38] [SPEAKER_02]: It's still insane that this exists.

[00:27:40] [SPEAKER_00]: Well, like the trading card I actually told you.

[00:27:42] [SPEAKER_02]: That's the kind of stuff I'm trying to get you out of there.

[00:27:44] [SPEAKER_02]: But it's still insane.

[00:27:45] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, yes.

[00:27:46] [SPEAKER_00]: Because this shit is insane.

[00:27:47] [SPEAKER_02]: It's crazy.

[00:27:49] [SPEAKER_00]: It's insane.

[00:27:52] I don't...

[00:27:52] [SPEAKER_00]: Who is that?

[00:27:53] [SPEAKER_02]: Anyway, it's a series of conflicts about some fallen Jedi.

[00:27:56] [SPEAKER_02]: I don't know.

[00:27:56] [SPEAKER_02]: This doesn't seem very obvious.

[00:27:57] [SPEAKER_00]: So what if PayPal was like our job is to make sure money is transferred from people to people.

[00:28:03] [SPEAKER_00]: What if we have an army so we can fight other people?

[00:28:05] [SPEAKER_00]: It's like, what other...

[00:28:07] [SPEAKER_00]: Okay, so you used to be like that might be the future.

[00:28:10] [SPEAKER_02]: It might be like a Uber army and a PayPal army.

[00:28:14] [SPEAKER_00]: It used to be that if you were a planet you immediately gained entry into the Galactic Republic.

[00:28:20] [SPEAKER_00]: Now it's no longer the case.

[00:28:21] [SPEAKER_00]: You got to fucking, you know.

[00:28:23] [SPEAKER_00]: Get a guarantee for how you have to write an application essay.

[00:28:26] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, you need to submit to your detector.

[00:28:28] [SPEAKER_00]: Right.

[00:28:28] [SPEAKER_00]: Whatever it is.

[00:28:29] [SPEAKER_00]: Which means that some people are not part of the Galactic Republic.

[00:28:33] [SPEAKER_00]: Not because they left it.

[00:28:34] [SPEAKER_00]: As described in the opening crawl of attack the clonters.

[00:28:38] [SPEAKER_00]: Because they never got in.

[00:28:40] [SPEAKER_00]: And so the Galactic Republic wants an army to fight the people who aren't part of the Republic that they have stopped from being part of the Republic.

[00:28:48] [SPEAKER_02]: Griffin, you're again, you're digging into something where I feel like you've already hit bottom.

[00:28:52] [SPEAKER_02]: We don't know.

[00:28:53] [SPEAKER_00]: There has to be some fucking answers.

[00:28:54] [SPEAKER_02]: This is one reason these movies are so annoying.

[00:28:56] [SPEAKER_02]: They give you like a surface explanation just to justify the plot and then that's it.

[00:29:01] [SPEAKER_01]: Well, but think about it this way.

[00:29:03] [SPEAKER_01]: If we're going to compare it to our actual history.

[00:29:05] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, sure.

[00:29:06] [SPEAKER_01]: And we mentioned Hitler.

[00:29:08] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

[00:29:09] [SPEAKER_01]: So there was a point where Hitler started reaching out to countries like Cuba.

[00:29:14] [SPEAKER_01]: And basically was trying to expand his empire to take over the world.

[00:29:20] [SPEAKER_02]: I want to take over the world.

[00:29:21] [SPEAKER_02]: It is crazy.

[00:29:22] [SPEAKER_01]: And so Cuba was a country that we didn't get along with for a very long time.

[00:29:28] [SPEAKER_01]: Very long time.

[00:29:29] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

[00:29:30] [SPEAKER_01]: And I feel like maybe these other planets and systems that weren't involved, it was like kind of again.

[00:29:38] [SPEAKER_01]: It's politics about leverage, it's about having more people.

[00:29:41] [SPEAKER_01]: So the separatist movement basically grabbing the free agents to try and bring them.

[00:29:46] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

[00:29:46] [SPEAKER_02]: You can't you can't have people leaving or you're challenging you.

[00:29:50] [SPEAKER_02]: It's totally true.

[00:29:50] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

[00:29:51] [SPEAKER_02]: Since it's got to be one big thing.

[00:29:53] [SPEAKER_02]: That's the idea.

[00:29:54] [SPEAKER_02]: That's the same thing as the Civil War.

[00:29:55] [SPEAKER_02]: Hey, you can't go.

[00:29:56] [SPEAKER_02]: It's like the Civil War country.

[00:29:57] [SPEAKER_02]: You're not allowed to leave.

[00:29:58] [SPEAKER_00]: Technically everyone's part of the same thing, but they're like having internal account.

[00:30:01] [SPEAKER_02]: You can do your own stuff, but you're in this country, not that country.

[00:30:05] [SPEAKER_02]: And we make some of the rules.

[00:30:08] [SPEAKER_01]: Nice democracy.

[00:30:09] [SPEAKER_02]: That's democracy.

[00:30:10] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, that's my two cents.

[00:30:12] [SPEAKER_02]: But some senators.

[00:30:14] [SPEAKER_02]: My two cents.

[00:30:14] [SPEAKER_02]: I'm handing granted.

[00:30:15] [SPEAKER_00]: I'm a decent one.

[00:30:16] [SPEAKER_00]: That's probably get what two cents from recycling.

[00:30:18] [SPEAKER_00]: What's the rate?

[00:30:19] [SPEAKER_00]: I think it's five.

[00:30:20] [SPEAKER_00]: Thank you.

[00:30:21] [SPEAKER_00]: That's not bad.

[00:30:22] [SPEAKER_01]: Let's say 10 emissions maybe.

[00:30:23] [SPEAKER_02]: Really?

[00:30:25] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

[00:30:25] [SPEAKER_02]: It's a good fucking state for that.

[00:30:26] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, yeah.

[00:30:26] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

[00:30:26] [SPEAKER_02]: I guess I've sense.

[00:30:27] [SPEAKER_02]: But in California, I think you get more.

[00:30:30] [SPEAKER_02]: I'd Michigan like you say.

[00:30:32] [SPEAKER_00]: I will say I was in California last week.

[00:30:33] [SPEAKER_00]: And I saw even more.

[00:30:36] [SPEAKER_00]: I was in California not getting a job.

[00:30:42] [SPEAKER_00]: But just conclusively not being hired for a thing I want.

[00:30:48] [SPEAKER_00]: But I saw so many people pushing a shopping cart to the bottles.

[00:30:55] [SPEAKER_00]: Oh, yeah.

[00:30:55] [SPEAKER_00]: I think you can see the difference there.

[00:30:57] [SPEAKER_00]: There was more of it out there.

[00:30:59] [SPEAKER_00]: I went to a Dollar Tree and I couldn't pull out a fucking shopping cart because some

[00:31:05] [SPEAKER_00]: other gemoke had put his shopping cart, his fucking from home shopping cart filled with

[00:31:11] [SPEAKER_00]: his fucking cans and bottles and would block the shopping cart way.

[00:31:17] [SPEAKER_02]: That's terrible.

[00:31:18] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

[00:31:19] [SPEAKER_02]: And I really care.

[00:31:21] [SPEAKER_00]: You were there for VidCon, right?

[00:31:23] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I was there for VidCon.

[00:31:23] [SPEAKER_01]: And then I was there for VidCon.

[00:31:26] [SPEAKER_01]: Hey, hey, so a new gun ray is kind of like the Koch brothers.

[00:31:30] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

[00:31:31] [SPEAKER_01]: Yep.

[00:31:32] [SPEAKER_00]: And dust realists.

[00:31:32] [SPEAKER_00]: Yep.

[00:31:33] [SPEAKER_00]: They have the money and the money.

[00:31:35] [SPEAKER_00]: And the money.

[00:31:35] [SPEAKER_01]: And the money.

[00:31:35] [SPEAKER_01]: And the money.

[00:31:37] [SPEAKER_01]: So that it benefits you and your company and your, you know, self.

[00:31:42] [SPEAKER_01]: Make it money for money's sake.

[00:31:45] [SPEAKER_00]: TC14 is a protocol to write.

[00:31:46] [SPEAKER_00]: I know we're talking to attack the clients but got to get back to those for a second.

[00:31:49] [SPEAKER_00]: Do you think she knows she's working for the bad guys?

[00:31:52] [SPEAKER_00]: Like, like, she's so sweet.

[00:31:55] [SPEAKER_00]: She's so bad.

[00:31:55] [SPEAKER_00]: I don't think she does.

[00:31:56] [SPEAKER_00]: She's such a sexy fucking little manx.

[00:31:58] [SPEAKER_00]: But like, C3PO seems to have personality and TC14 seems to be out all business.

[00:32:02] [SPEAKER_00]: Mm-hmm.

[00:32:02] [SPEAKER_00]: Do you think she's just programming maybe limited?

[00:32:05] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, it may be, yeah, it may she may not be able to think about the wider world.

[00:32:08] [SPEAKER_02]: Because I want to believe she's pure of heart.

[00:32:11] [SPEAKER_02]: I mean, she might be programmed to be pure of heart.

[00:32:12] [SPEAKER_00]: That's fine.

[00:32:14] [SPEAKER_00]: As long as she's not like luck, I've ever paid his money.

[00:32:17] [SPEAKER_02]: No, because there's no way.

[00:32:19] [SPEAKER_02]: I don't think we're about to care about money.

[00:32:20] [SPEAKER_00]: No.

[00:32:20] [SPEAKER_00]: Do I?

[00:32:21] [SPEAKER_00]: No, they're bought for money.

[00:32:23] [SPEAKER_00]: They don't make money.

[00:32:24] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, the robot stuff is all very weird.

[00:32:27] [SPEAKER_00]: Because C3PO seems to hate everything that someone asked them to do.

[00:32:29] [SPEAKER_00]: Although he was programmed by a little boy, he doesn't fucking know robotics.

[00:32:33] [SPEAKER_02]: Well, that might be, he does know robotics because he did build a robot.

[00:32:37] [SPEAKER_02]: But he definitely is a stubborn little boy.

[00:32:39] [SPEAKER_02]: Well, he's more of a stubborn little man.

[00:32:41] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, now.

[00:32:43] [SPEAKER_02]: When he's a little boy, he's like, sure, you know, quite master-quick on.

[00:32:46] [SPEAKER_02]: I'll get in your spaceship.

[00:32:47] [SPEAKER_00]: And then when he's, I don't know if he's like, yeah, I won't get any fucking space now.

[00:32:51] [SPEAKER_00]: He's like sexy.

[00:32:52] [SPEAKER_00]: I don't know if he won't have a girlfriend.

[00:32:55] [SPEAKER_02]: Anyway, politics and this movie is stupid.

[00:32:58] [SPEAKER_02]: Okay, let's keep taking.

[00:32:59] [SPEAKER_02]: Because the house is no different.

[00:33:00] [SPEAKER_01]: Okay, I'll throw out another.

[00:33:01] [SPEAKER_01]: So what about the Jedi's involvement?

[00:33:04] [SPEAKER_01]: That's the thing.

[00:33:04] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, because they have their dislike.

[00:33:06] [SPEAKER_01]: We tried to talk about that.

[00:33:08] [SPEAKER_01]: We're going to see that.

[00:33:08] [SPEAKER_00]: These are the Jedi's or kind of like that.

[00:33:10] [SPEAKER_02]: They're so weird.

[00:33:11] [SPEAKER_02]: They're kind of like the UN.

[00:33:12] [SPEAKER_02]: I mean, they're, you know, like the UN peacekeeping force.

[00:33:15] [SPEAKER_02]: It's like they're kind of without a country.

[00:33:18] [SPEAKER_01]: But they don't have to, like, uh, they don't answer to anybody.

[00:33:21] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, that's the thing in the UN is representative for each country.

[00:33:25] [SPEAKER_00]: And yes, like the Jedi is coming from different planets.

[00:33:27] [SPEAKER_00]: But they don't represent that planet.

[00:33:29] [SPEAKER_00]: They represent the Jedi.

[00:33:30] [SPEAKER_00]: The Jedi is.

[00:33:31] [SPEAKER_00]: But they also can just represent that.

[00:33:32] [SPEAKER_00]: I think it's like the Pope and his fucking cronies.

[00:33:34] [SPEAKER_00]: Those fat cats up in that can city.

[00:33:36] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I mean, you know, think about Catholics and their, you know,

[00:33:43] [SPEAKER_01]: kids, you know, similar to stealing up these little Jedi babies.

[00:33:49] [SPEAKER_01]: Ben, what a fucking point.

[00:33:52] [SPEAKER_02]: You guys, you guys are just making waves over here.

[00:33:55] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I want to rip this open.

[00:33:58] [SPEAKER_00]: I want to be the fucking Alex Gibney of the fucking Galactic.

[00:34:02] [SPEAKER_02]: Should I see his apple movie?

[00:34:04] [SPEAKER_00]: I don't know.

[00:34:05] [SPEAKER_00]: I'm just like, again, got makes like seven movies.

[00:34:07] [SPEAKER_00]: There's a lot of movies.

[00:34:08] [SPEAKER_00]: He's got like a team.

[00:34:09] [SPEAKER_00]: Did I just see something like a name for a collective?

[00:34:12] [SPEAKER_02]: It's like a, it's a protocol drawing.

[00:34:14] [SPEAKER_00]: What movie do you guys see?

[00:34:16] [SPEAKER_00]: Just go and clear and he did the Snodger documentary too.

[00:34:19] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

[00:34:19] [SPEAKER_00]: Just a two part of it.

[00:34:20] [SPEAKER_00]: Can I say something?

[00:34:21] [SPEAKER_00]: You can say anything.

[00:34:22] [SPEAKER_00]: This is pretty clear.

[00:34:24] [SPEAKER_00]: There you know what's much better.

[00:34:26] [SPEAKER_00]: What's much better.

[00:34:26] [SPEAKER_00]: The book.

[00:34:27] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, well that I believe.

[00:34:28] [SPEAKER_01]: Book is fucking like dionetics is great.

[00:34:30] [SPEAKER_00]: It's an ex-cribable.

[00:34:32] [SPEAKER_00]: By the way, this podcast is officially sponsored by Scientology.

[00:34:35] [SPEAKER_00]: Our friend Morgan Evans, true.

[00:34:36] [SPEAKER_02]: We also see him about all the other fields or no.

[00:34:38] [SPEAKER_00]: You've never seen it.

[00:34:39] [SPEAKER_00]: No.

[00:34:40] [SPEAKER_00]: It's really weird.

[00:34:40] [SPEAKER_00]: I am obsessed with dionetics in a very different way than Morgan is.

[00:34:46] [SPEAKER_00]: And then I don't let myself think close to him.

[00:34:47] [SPEAKER_02]: Both of you should not be doing any business with those people.

[00:34:50] [SPEAKER_02]: We're both highly insecure people who are cradriff.

[00:34:52] [SPEAKER_02]: They are, and they look for validation.

[00:34:55] [SPEAKER_02]: And how's your work in the film at this straight?

[00:34:57] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

[00:34:57] [SPEAKER_01]: You can tell me a little bit or just tell our listeners a little bit more about your relationship with your father.

[00:35:02] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, sure.

[00:35:03] [SPEAKER_00]: My father is El Ron Hubbard.

[00:35:06] [SPEAKER_00]: They make you send a contract declaring him your father.

[00:35:09] [SPEAKER_00]: I consider him the Holy Father.

[00:35:12] [SPEAKER_00]: No, we want to get more listeners.

[00:35:14] [SPEAKER_00]: Let me talk about my dad a little bit more.

[00:35:17] [SPEAKER_00]: What's interesting to say?

[00:35:19] [SPEAKER_02]: He worked in the biz, right?

[00:35:21] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

[00:35:22] [SPEAKER_00]: He teaches now.

[00:35:24] [SPEAKER_00]: He works at NYU.

[00:35:25] [SPEAKER_00]: He teaches film classes.

[00:35:26] [SPEAKER_00]: He fell into it by accident and he did it for a long time.

[00:35:30] [SPEAKER_00]: The biz are in one year.

[00:35:31] [SPEAKER_00]: The biz.

[00:35:31] [SPEAKER_00]: My dad wanted to be a sports broadcaster.

[00:35:35] [SPEAKER_00]: I'm sort of living his dream right now.

[00:35:37] [SPEAKER_00]: He says that's you all the time, right?

[00:35:39] [SPEAKER_02]: He says, Griffin, you're sort of living my dream right now.

[00:35:42] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

[00:35:42] [SPEAKER_00]: He wanted to be a sports broadcaster and he did there was a sink called Sports Phone.

[00:35:48] [SPEAKER_00]: So like prior to the internet.

[00:35:49] [SPEAKER_02]: Is it like movie phone?

[00:35:51] [SPEAKER_00]: Very different.

[00:35:52] [SPEAKER_00]: Was it like the New York Dmitse?

[00:35:56] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

[00:35:56] [SPEAKER_02]: The Toronto Bulldog.

[00:35:57] [SPEAKER_02]: No, no, no.

[00:35:58] [SPEAKER_02]: It was like what happened?

[00:35:59] [SPEAKER_00]: What have we seen this course?

[00:36:00] [SPEAKER_00]: If you didn't want to wait the next morning.

[00:36:01] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, that's what it was.

[00:36:02] [SPEAKER_00]: If you want, if you didn't want to wait till the paper came out the next morning.

[00:36:05] [SPEAKER_00]: Sure.

[00:36:06] [SPEAKER_00]: And there wasn't internet to look up.

[00:36:07] [SPEAKER_00]: You will need to know the scores of the game tonight, especially for gamblers of which my father was one of the most generous.

[00:36:16] [SPEAKER_00]: No, he was like my dad was really debating that sports.

[00:36:18] [SPEAKER_00]: But Sports Phone was like low level aspiring sports commentators anchors.

[00:36:25] [SPEAKER_00]: And you'd like call in and they'd be a prerecorded message.

[00:36:27] [SPEAKER_00]: They'd update it like every hour with the new scores.

[00:36:29] [SPEAKER_00]: And so they'd like cycle out the guys and I would be like,

[00:36:31] [SPEAKER_00]: Hi, I'm pistol Pete Newman.

[00:36:33] [SPEAKER_00]: That's what he was.

[00:36:34] [SPEAKER_00]: He was pistol Pete Newman.

[00:36:34] [SPEAKER_00]: He was like, I'm kidding.

[00:36:35] [SPEAKER_00]: That's what he was doing.

[00:36:35] [SPEAKER_00]: Hi, I'm pistol Pete Newman and here are the scores for April 17th,

[00:36:40] [SPEAKER_00]: 1981 and then he would like read you the scores.

[00:36:44] [SPEAKER_00]: And then he was like building up to try and be like a TV sports anchor.

[00:36:47] [SPEAKER_00]: And he got a shot and had his like Albert Brooks in broadcast news moment.

[00:36:51] [SPEAKER_00]: Where he was like, I'm terrified of being on camera.

[00:36:53] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, as I would be.

[00:36:55] [SPEAKER_00]: I can do radio.

[00:36:57] [SPEAKER_02]: Hey, boy, can you do radio?

[00:36:59] [SPEAKER_02]: Thank you.

[00:36:59] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

[00:36:59] [SPEAKER_02]: I was waiting for you to say something.

[00:37:01] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

[00:37:01] [SPEAKER_02]: I've been waiting 18 weeks for you to say something.

[00:37:04] [SPEAKER_02]: David, you can do radio.

[00:37:08] [SPEAKER_02]: You can do radio, but you can TV the camera freaks me out.

[00:37:11] [SPEAKER_02]: Of course you love the camera and the camera.

[00:37:12] [SPEAKER_02]: I don't want to freaks me out.

[00:37:13] [SPEAKER_00]: I don't want to freaks me out.

[00:37:14] [SPEAKER_00]: I don't want to freaks me out.

[00:37:14] [SPEAKER_00]: I like having been on the camera.

[00:37:17] [SPEAKER_00]: I feel very uncomfortable in front of cameras.

[00:37:19] [SPEAKER_00]: You know, for like, like, maybe like 15 years of my life,

[00:37:24] [SPEAKER_00]: I wouldn't let anyone take a picture of me.

[00:37:25] [SPEAKER_00]: That's weird.

[00:37:26] [SPEAKER_00]: Cameras made me like aggressively uncomfortable.

[00:37:28] [SPEAKER_00]: And then I became a very strange.

[00:37:30] [SPEAKER_02]: Here's strange.

[00:37:31] [SPEAKER_02]: You're a bummer.

[00:37:31] [SPEAKER_00]: I like doing like, like acting like school plays and stuff.

[00:37:34] [SPEAKER_00]: But when I was being filmed, I got really uncomfortable.

[00:37:38] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, for like 15 years or someone took out a camera.

[00:37:39] [SPEAKER_00]: I would dock or like cover my face.

[00:37:41] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, it sounds so annoying.

[00:37:42] [SPEAKER_02]: It was really annoying.

[00:37:43] [SPEAKER_02]: I would be so mad.

[00:37:44] [SPEAKER_00]: Everyone thought it was going to affectation because I couldn't explain it.

[00:37:46] [SPEAKER_00]: And I was like, I don't, I just don't.

[00:37:49] [SPEAKER_00]: I just think I would be so mad.

[00:37:50] [SPEAKER_00]: You're a hate kid to do that.

[00:37:51] [SPEAKER_00]: I was such a piece of shit.

[00:37:53] [SPEAKER_00]: I have a surprise.

[00:37:54] [SPEAKER_00]: We're going to get back to talking about politics in 45 minutes.

[00:37:56] [SPEAKER_00]: But I have a surprise.

[00:37:57] [SPEAKER_00]: You have a surprise?

[00:37:58] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

[00:37:59] [SPEAKER_00]: Wait, wait.

[00:38:00] [SPEAKER_00]: I actually am unprepared for whatever.

[00:38:02] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

[00:38:02] [SPEAKER_00]: I was debating whether or not to do this.

[00:38:04] [SPEAKER_00]: But I think we've had a point where we kind of do it.

[00:38:06] [SPEAKER_00]: What?

[00:38:06] [SPEAKER_00]: Talk about what a difficult kid I was.

[00:38:08] [SPEAKER_00]: Oh, wait.

[00:38:08] [SPEAKER_00]: Do you have like a picture?

[00:38:09] [SPEAKER_00]: No, I, you know, I've been packing going through my hair.

[00:38:12] [SPEAKER_00]: Oh, right.

[00:38:13] [SPEAKER_00]: This is, I forgot it's a treasure trove.

[00:38:15] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

[00:38:15] [SPEAKER_02]: And I found something.

[00:38:17] [SPEAKER_02]: Ah.

[00:38:18] [SPEAKER_02]: Back in black face.

[00:38:20] [SPEAKER_02]: Or can you minstrel show me?

[00:38:23] [SPEAKER_02]: I don't think you said that before.

[00:38:24] [SPEAKER_02]: I forgot that.

[00:38:24] [SPEAKER_02]: Can you minstrel show me how to get to racism street by Griffin Newman?

[00:38:28] [SPEAKER_02]: This is.

[00:38:31] [SPEAKER_02]: Yes, I mean, for people who might not know this is the essay you wrote.

[00:38:34] [SPEAKER_02]: What year do you know what year?

[00:38:36] [SPEAKER_02]: This probably would have been 2004.

[00:38:38] [SPEAKER_02]: Okay.

[00:38:39] [SPEAKER_02]: So, and it's about Hollywood's history of minstrel.

[00:38:42] [SPEAKER_00]: Minstrel, re.

[00:38:43] [SPEAKER_00]: Yes.

[00:38:45] [SPEAKER_00]: It was me trying to solve the racial ills of war.

[00:38:47] [SPEAKER_00]: You were trying to solve it.

[00:38:48] [SPEAKER_00]: What, what class did you write this for?

[00:38:50] [SPEAKER_00]: History.

[00:38:51] [SPEAKER_00]: History.

[00:38:52] [SPEAKER_00]: I think it was American history.

[00:38:53] [SPEAKER_02]: And like, what was the assignment?

[00:38:55] [SPEAKER_02]: Right.

[00:38:56] [SPEAKER_02]: I'd better write it back.

[00:38:57] [SPEAKER_02]: Griffin went to like a hippie school.

[00:38:59] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I just know.

[00:39:00] [SPEAKER_00]: I just remember that the fact that I chose this topic was like very odd and surprising in

[00:39:04] [SPEAKER_00]: off-pace.

[00:39:05] [SPEAKER_02]: It was they did not expect you to do that?

[00:39:07] [SPEAKER_02]: No, because I don't think I mean you got a good.

[00:39:10] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

[00:39:10] [SPEAKER_02]: Griffin a very much enjoyed reading this paper.

[00:39:12] [SPEAKER_02]: Hey now.

[00:39:13] [SPEAKER_02]: You made a fine and passion.

[00:39:17] [SPEAKER_02]: Well, start going here.

[00:39:21] [SPEAKER_02]: Okay.

[00:39:21] [SPEAKER_02]: So, against the strife of some black entertainment.

[00:39:24] [SPEAKER_00]: You write black entertainment quotes.

[00:39:26] [SPEAKER_00]: In quotes.

[00:39:27] [SPEAKER_00]: As if it's a man.

[00:39:28] [SPEAKER_02]: And your use of emissanity is very effective.

[00:39:30] [SPEAKER_02]: I did a lot of research.

[00:39:31] [SPEAKER_02]: You're good job of describing the origins of minstrel shows and what they were presented.

[00:39:36] [SPEAKER_02]: What you needed to develop more was the time between minstrel and the time of being

[00:39:40] [SPEAKER_02]: a machin Andy.

[00:39:41] [SPEAKER_02]: I'm interesting to me.

[00:39:43] [SPEAKER_02]: What did the four white men do?

[00:39:46] [SPEAKER_02]: I don't know what that means.

[00:39:47] [SPEAKER_00]: I think they were a group.

[00:39:49] [SPEAKER_02]: What sort of shows became popular?

[00:39:50] [SPEAKER_02]: How did minstrel shows become so acceptable?

[00:39:52] [SPEAKER_02]: That between that you could end up with a misnanny.

[00:39:57] [SPEAKER_02]: And you pass over the jazz singer birth of a nation.

[00:39:59] [SPEAKER_02]: Two quickly Griffin.

[00:40:00] [SPEAKER_02]: Those are seminal moments in film.

[00:40:03] [SPEAKER_02]: Well, for how they looked,

[00:40:04] [SPEAKER_02]: messaged for a portrayed and how obviously they sounded.

[00:40:09] [SPEAKER_02]: And obviously how they sounded.

[00:40:11] [SPEAKER_02]: That's what you're saying.

[00:40:12] [SPEAKER_02]: Obviously how they sounded.

[00:40:14] [SPEAKER_02]: You can establish a timeline rope.

[00:40:17] [SPEAKER_02]: But he didn't enjoy the views.

[00:40:18] [SPEAKER_02]: He didn't get a grade.

[00:40:19] [SPEAKER_02]: This is St. Anthony.

[00:40:20] [SPEAKER_02]: He didn't give you a grade.

[00:40:21] [SPEAKER_02]: It's like, he went to the same school my girlfriend went to.

[00:40:26] [SPEAKER_00]: They were at an asset.

[00:40:27] [SPEAKER_00]: Let me see if I can find the section on beauty shop.

[00:40:30] [SPEAKER_00]: So when beauty shops are crazy, great movie.

[00:40:32] [SPEAKER_00]: I hate it.

[00:40:33] [SPEAKER_00]: I know.

[00:40:35] [SPEAKER_01]: This is the kind of school there where they hug you.

[00:40:38] [SPEAKER_01]: It's a great, it's a dumb one.

[00:40:40] [SPEAKER_02]: It's like a hippie Brooklyn rich kid.

[00:40:43] [SPEAKER_02]: It's like, like assays instead.

[00:40:45] [SPEAKER_02]: It was like Jesus Christ.

[00:40:47] [SPEAKER_02]: It was founded with the purpose of being a nice alternative school for kids who may be think differently or whatever.

[00:40:53] [SPEAKER_02]: But then it's a private school in Brooklyn.

[00:40:55] [SPEAKER_02]: I think just a lot of rich people sent their kids there.

[00:40:57] [SPEAKER_00]: You want to hear it?

[00:40:58] [SPEAKER_00]: It's already.

[00:40:59] [SPEAKER_00]: It's some really nice guy that discussed things I said.

[00:41:02] [SPEAKER_00]: I just want to read some ex-serves.

[00:41:07] [SPEAKER_00]: Jesus Christ.

[00:41:08] [SPEAKER_00]: Everyone's going to stop listening to this show.

[00:41:09] [SPEAKER_00]: Everyone's already stopped.

[00:41:11] [SPEAKER_00]: How many minutes have we recorded?

[00:41:12] [SPEAKER_00]: How many years?

[00:41:13] [SPEAKER_00]: 40.

[00:41:15] [SPEAKER_00]: For a show that's not allowed to be replayed on television, the quote unquote racist characters of a most an Andy.

[00:41:23] [SPEAKER_00]: Some call it the question whether or not they're racist, which is not my place to do.

[00:41:26] [SPEAKER_00]: True.

[00:41:27] [SPEAKER_00]: Use better grammar, but the characters and films like Soul Plane are smarter.

[00:41:33] [SPEAKER_00]: This is terrible territory that you're a little bit.

[00:41:35] [SPEAKER_02]: I usually really be clear about this.

[00:41:38] [SPEAKER_02]: We're feeling like we're telling people how to talk, essentially.

[00:41:41] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

[00:41:42] [SPEAKER_00]: smarter.

[00:41:43] [SPEAKER_00]: And characters in films like Guess Who.

[00:41:45] [SPEAKER_02]: So you just want to be like, contrary and about like, hey man, Amis and Andy, that was well written entertainment compared to this nonsense.

[00:41:53] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I think that was my big point was I thought like as a comedy writer, Amos and Andy had good jokes.

[00:41:59] [SPEAKER_00]: I'm taking this away.

[00:42:00] [SPEAKER_00]: No, because I gotta read this one other sentence.

[00:42:02] [SPEAKER_00]: I know why so many of you are.

[00:42:04] [SPEAKER_00]: Smart on characters in films like Guess Who and will accomplish more than characters in films like my baby's daddy.

[00:42:10] [SPEAKER_00]: So I was like looking at a film like my baby's daddy, which if you don't remember was like the urban remake of three men in the baby.

[00:42:16] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

[00:42:17] [SPEAKER_00]: Or wasn't it was three men who have children out of wedlock and then have to deal with being single fathers.

[00:42:24] [SPEAKER_00]: Was Anthony Anderson Eddie Griffin and Michael Piorioli were the three men.

[00:42:29] [SPEAKER_00]: And I was passing judgment on what those characters would go onto accomplish in their lives after the film.

[00:42:36] [SPEAKER_00]: Above all though, A.M.S. and Andy was a well written humorous show.

[00:42:39] [SPEAKER_02]: What the fuck are you talking about?

[00:42:41] [SPEAKER_02]: I have no idea.

[00:42:42] [SPEAKER_02]: I don't know.

[00:42:42] [SPEAKER_02]: What did I get?

[00:42:43] [SPEAKER_02]: Good.

[00:42:44] [SPEAKER_02]: This is the also offensive thing.

[00:42:45] [SPEAKER_02]: This is the horrible privilege that you are invested with.

[00:42:50] [SPEAKER_02]: You could write this nonsense and nobody would slap you down.

[00:42:54] [SPEAKER_00]: We can ask how we live in a society where children are getting abortions at age 13 and then nominated these songs for Nickelodeon Kids Choice Awards.

[00:43:00] [SPEAKER_00]: A show who's winners are chosen by the children of the world, but the nominees are selected by Commandies with them.

[00:43:04] [SPEAKER_00]: The children of the world?

[00:43:05] [SPEAKER_01]: What do you mean by the way?

[00:43:06] [SPEAKER_01]: You went to school in England.

[00:43:08] [SPEAKER_01]: I went to school in North Jersey.

[00:43:10] [SPEAKER_01]: Crazy.

[00:43:11] [SPEAKER_01]: No.

[00:43:13] [SPEAKER_01]: My grade was basically just like, it would just stamp like you're not going to go anywhere in life.

[00:43:19] [SPEAKER_01]: That was like the grade.

[00:43:20] [SPEAKER_02]: It was just a great.

[00:43:22] [SPEAKER_02]: It was a letter grade or a grade out of ten.

[00:43:24] [SPEAKER_02]: It was pretty simple.

[00:43:26] [SPEAKER_02]: You know?

[00:43:27] [SPEAKER_02]: They gave me a grade.

[00:43:28] [SPEAKER_02]: I graded my work.

[00:43:29] [SPEAKER_01]: Like if you did okay, you wouldn't get punched in the arm.

[00:43:32] [SPEAKER_02]: No.

[00:43:32] [SPEAKER_01]: You know?

[00:43:33] [SPEAKER_01]: Just be like good job.

[00:43:35] [SPEAKER_01]: A and out of ten.

[00:43:36] [SPEAKER_01]: That sounds nice.

[00:43:36] [SPEAKER_02]: Whatever.

[00:43:38] [SPEAKER_00]: Normal.

[00:43:39] [SPEAKER_00]: Here's the exact same thing I was looking for.

[00:43:40] [SPEAKER_00]: I'm going to throw this away because I can't fucking-

[00:43:42] [SPEAKER_02]: I need to look at it, but you are not allowed to-

[00:43:43] [SPEAKER_00]: I'm going to be murdered the second after I read the sentence.

[00:43:45] [SPEAKER_02]: I'll have been ho and page six.

[00:43:50] [SPEAKER_00]: Go ahead.

[00:43:51] [SPEAKER_00]: I also write unintelligent overly sassy sluddish women on page four.

[00:43:57] [SPEAKER_00]: Adam.

[00:43:58] [SPEAKER_00]: Here's the sentence.

[00:43:59] [SPEAKER_00]: Ready for any of you murder?

[00:44:00] [SPEAKER_00]: Please just-

[00:44:01] [SPEAKER_00]: Guys, watch that door.

[00:44:02] [SPEAKER_00]: Because someone's going to walk and stab me.

[00:44:04] [SPEAKER_00]: Go ahead.

[00:44:05] [SPEAKER_00]: Fucking Joe Bison's.

[00:44:07] [SPEAKER_02]: I'm actually just like, oh my god.

[00:44:09] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

[00:44:09] [SPEAKER_00]: This is the sentence.

[00:44:10] [SPEAKER_00]: What does it say?

[00:44:11] [SPEAKER_00]: It's so clean.

[00:44:13] [SPEAKER_00]: The spin off beauty shop however is far more racist than Amos and Antis.

[00:44:18] [SPEAKER_02]: Now let's talk about beauty shop for a second, which I think is a tremendous.

[00:44:21] [SPEAKER_00]: I didn't say in a sense that it clearly made me very angry at the time.

[00:44:25] [SPEAKER_00]: Beauty shop is this-

[00:44:25] [SPEAKER_00]: What's again?

[00:44:26] [SPEAKER_00]: Not my place to fucking-

[00:44:27] [SPEAKER_00]: No.

[00:44:28] [SPEAKER_00]: No, you don't know what you're talking about.

[00:44:29] [SPEAKER_00]: Decree?

[00:44:29] [SPEAKER_00]: No.

[00:44:30] [SPEAKER_00]: I had no idea what it was.

[00:44:30] [SPEAKER_00]: I thought I was going to fucking saw it.

[00:44:32] [SPEAKER_02]: I think you're kind of like a Richard Cohen in the Washington Post just to bring it to mention,

[00:44:37] [SPEAKER_02]: an old white op-ed writer who sort of like doesn't understand what he's seen in culture these days.

[00:44:43] [SPEAKER_02]: And it's like these movies seem to denigrate people.

[00:44:45] [SPEAKER_02]: They seem to women seem to not have it.

[00:44:47] [SPEAKER_02]: And like I don't understand this is terrible.

[00:44:49] [SPEAKER_02]: Like not understanding like culture reflects all kinds of things that are going on in society rather than lecturing or, you know, whatever.

[00:44:58] [SPEAKER_02]: You know like this is also-

[00:45:02] [SPEAKER_00]: A green.

[00:45:03] [SPEAKER_00]: A hundred percent agreed.

[00:45:05] [SPEAKER_00]: If I've learned anything in the last 12 years of my life, it's like what should you be talking about?

[00:45:11] [SPEAKER_00]: Fucking attack the club.

[00:45:12] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, that's a thing you can be an authority on.

[00:45:14] [SPEAKER_02]: Anyway, I love Beauty Shop.

[00:45:16] [SPEAKER_02]: I saw it in theaters.

[00:45:17] [SPEAKER_02]: I was a student from my college newspaper and I said-

[00:45:20] [SPEAKER_02]: Not my-

[00:45:20] [SPEAKER_02]: I think I said it was fine.

[00:45:21] [SPEAKER_02]: I don't know if I gave it a ray but-

[00:45:23] [SPEAKER_02]: You didn't write it in a page paper about what was worse than it was.

[00:45:25] [SPEAKER_02]: I think I gave it like three out of five and said like, it's a good time, it's a little silly.

[00:45:29] [SPEAKER_02]: I regret literally everything right now.

[00:45:31] [SPEAKER_02]: I regret writing this paper.

[00:45:33] [SPEAKER_02]: You regret your father's sperm entering your mother's...

[00:45:37] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, over.

[00:45:38] [SPEAKER_02]: I regret-

[00:45:38] [SPEAKER_02]: I'm forming a Zygoat.

[00:45:40] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

[00:45:41] [SPEAKER_02]: Every- Yeah.

[00:45:42] [SPEAKER_02]: Ben's looking me a weird look.

[00:45:43] [SPEAKER_00]: I regret everything.

[00:45:44] [SPEAKER_01]: And that's like-

[00:45:45] [SPEAKER_01]: It's like an education by school.

[00:45:47] [SPEAKER_00]: So-

[00:45:47] [SPEAKER_00]: Well, what was your school?

[00:45:48] [SPEAKER_00]: Did you just go to school like your fucking school?

[00:45:51] [SPEAKER_01]: But they like threw bricks at you?

[00:45:52] [SPEAKER_01]: So it was a-

[00:45:53] [SPEAKER_00]: They were less than to written on the bricks.

[00:45:55] [SPEAKER_01]: It was like kind of like, you know, there's like a highway and then you go down the embankment.

[00:46:00] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

[00:46:01] [SPEAKER_01]: And it was like kind of a ditch.

[00:46:02] Uh-huh.

[00:46:04] Yeah.

[00:46:08] [SPEAKER_02]: Um...

[00:46:08] [SPEAKER_02]: Anyway, beauty shops been off of barbershop too.

[00:46:11] [SPEAKER_00]: Which I love the two barbershop, I'm always.

[00:46:12] [SPEAKER_02]: Which had kind of barbershop too had this sort of back door appearance by Queen Latifa

[00:46:16] [SPEAKER_02]: with the idea that she would go make her own movie, right?

[00:46:18] [SPEAKER_02]: She's not really a big-

[00:46:20] [SPEAKER_02]: Oh, they're just-

[00:46:20] [SPEAKER_02]: They're just an ex of ice cubed character.

[00:46:23] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, and she-

[00:46:24] [SPEAKER_02]: You know, she does hair.

[00:46:26] [SPEAKER_02]: Like, and then in beauty shop, she has moved to, I believe it's Atlanta.

[00:46:29] [SPEAKER_02]: And she talks about like, oh, Miss Chicago.

[00:46:32] [SPEAKER_02]: But, you know, great to be here in Atlanta.

[00:46:35] [SPEAKER_02]: And it's mostly about like, she gets this whole busted beauty shop and fixes it up with the help of Alfred Woodard.

[00:46:41] [SPEAKER_02]: Can I have more?

[00:46:41] [SPEAKER_02]: Can I have more?

[00:46:42] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

[00:46:43] [SPEAKER_02]: And as another beauty shop employee and some other stylists, she's got a daughter.

[00:46:48] [SPEAKER_02]: I think she has like a kid.

[00:46:50] [SPEAKER_02]: I think it's a daughter.

[00:46:50] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

[00:46:51] [SPEAKER_02]: A cute kid.

[00:46:52] [SPEAKER_02]: She used to work for an Austrian mean hairdresser man, played by Kevin Bacon, who she has abandoned.

[00:46:58] [SPEAKER_02]: Called like George or something.

[00:47:01] [SPEAKER_02]: I figured it was named like Jorge.

[00:47:03] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

[00:47:03] [SPEAKER_02]: It's very weird.

[00:47:04] [SPEAKER_02]: It's like- he's just like an evil white European.

[00:47:07] [SPEAKER_02]: Like he has this sort of amorphous accent.

[00:47:10] [SPEAKER_02]: And German home soup plays-

[00:47:11] [SPEAKER_02]: Can I have more?

[00:47:12] [SPEAKER_02]: Two times.

[00:47:14] [SPEAKER_02]: Plays of very handsome African, I think he's Nigerian immigrant who is an electrician and like fixes up the place with her and then they fall on the floor.

[00:47:22] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

[00:47:23] [SPEAKER_02]: It's great.

[00:47:25] [SPEAKER_02]: It's great.

[00:47:26] [SPEAKER_02]: Everyone was freaking out about Andy McDowell in the movie.

[00:47:28] [SPEAKER_02]: You know, you're a magic-mike ex-ex-el.

[00:47:30] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

[00:47:30] [SPEAKER_02]: Her little appearance playing this kind of like older southern lady who sort of-

[00:47:33] [SPEAKER_02]: It does the same thing as-

[00:47:34] [SPEAKER_02]: She does the exact same thing in beauty shop which was nine years previous.

[00:47:38] [SPEAKER_02]: Alicia Silverstone is also in it as like a sort of a dumb white lady who says things like four year FYI.

[00:47:43] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, that's her little bit I was offended by as a dumb white lady myself.

[00:47:46] [SPEAKER_02]: Um, Ben, you-

[00:47:48] [SPEAKER_02]: I think it's a fun movie.

[00:47:49] [SPEAKER_02]: It's very formless which I kind of like.

[00:47:50] [SPEAKER_02]: It's really just about someone starting a business.

[00:47:53] [SPEAKER_02]: And then like, she's successfully starts the business.

[00:47:57] [SPEAKER_00]: Ben, you smoke.

[00:47:58] [SPEAKER_00]: Do you have a letter on your person?

[00:48:00] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

[00:48:00] [SPEAKER_00]: When we're done with this episode, I'd like to go outside and burn this paper.

[00:48:03] [SPEAKER_00]: No, it's great. You can't burn it.

[00:48:05] [SPEAKER_00]: I'm-

[00:48:05] [SPEAKER_02]: Don't do it. Don't do it. Look, it's part of your history.

[00:48:09] [SPEAKER_02]: Shameful as it is.

[00:48:10] [SPEAKER_00]: This was like my minstrel show.

[00:48:12] [SPEAKER_02]: All right.

[00:48:12] [SPEAKER_00]: That was like the dark part of my history with the worst level of race relations or I felt like I had the authority to write a paper on minstrel show.

[00:48:21] [SPEAKER_02]: Um, it's crazy that you read the Howled Re?

[00:48:24] [SPEAKER_02]: 15?

[00:48:25] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

[00:48:26] [SPEAKER_02]: It's not-

[00:48:27] [SPEAKER_02]: It's not.

[00:48:29] [SPEAKER_02]: Anyway, so my question says very confusing about-

[00:48:31] [SPEAKER_00]: Are they the UN?

[00:48:33] [SPEAKER_00]: Are they NATO? What are they?

[00:48:35] [SPEAKER_00]: I don't know.

[00:48:36] [SPEAKER_02]: Doesn't matter.

[00:48:37] [SPEAKER_02]: Okay.

[00:48:37] [SPEAKER_00]: Very vague. They're the government.

[00:48:38] [SPEAKER_00]: So some people are elected senators.

[00:48:41] [SPEAKER_02]: I think everyone's elected-

[00:48:42] [SPEAKER_02]: No, no, no.

[00:48:42] [SPEAKER_02]: Some are elected.

[00:48:43] [SPEAKER_02]: Yes.

[00:48:44] [SPEAKER_02]: Some are appointed by the planets ruler.

[00:48:46] [SPEAKER_00]: Okay.

[00:48:46] [SPEAKER_02]: And some are the planets ruler.

[00:48:48] [SPEAKER_00]: Okay.

[00:48:48] [SPEAKER_02]: So let's talk about this.

[00:48:49] [SPEAKER_02]: You know, so like you've got-

[00:48:51] [SPEAKER_02]: I'm not a captain from Naboo.

[00:48:52] [SPEAKER_02]: I think he's elected.

[00:48:54] [SPEAKER_02]: Queen, I'm not all.

[00:48:55] [SPEAKER_02]: We know his elected.

[00:48:55] [SPEAKER_00]: She's also elected.

[00:48:56] [SPEAKER_02]: The people-

[00:48:57] [SPEAKER_02]: He does not serve in the Senate.

[00:48:58] [SPEAKER_02]: Right.

[00:48:59] [SPEAKER_02]: The captain served.

[00:48:59] [SPEAKER_00]: Foss Nass lives on the boot but he seems to be the ruler of underwater Naboo.

[00:49:05] [SPEAKER_00]: He is.

[00:49:05] [SPEAKER_02]: But he seems to have no representative in the Senate until Jar Jar Binks.

[00:49:09] [SPEAKER_00]: Right.

[00:49:09] [SPEAKER_00]: So does that count as two different-

[00:49:11] [SPEAKER_02]: They seem-

[00:49:12] [SPEAKER_02]: They-I think they hang out on the same platform.

[00:49:15] [SPEAKER_02]: They all hang out on these little platforms.

[00:49:17] [SPEAKER_02]: And they can kind of drive them.

[00:49:19] [SPEAKER_02]: They're floating and they can drive them into like the empty space.

[00:49:23] [SPEAKER_02]: And kind of yell.

[00:49:24] [SPEAKER_02]: Like we see that happening.

[00:49:26] [SPEAKER_02]: Where like Padme will drive out and be like, you know, the trade Federation is attacking

[00:49:31] [SPEAKER_02]: our planet and then the trade Federation comes out like,

[00:49:33] [SPEAKER_02]: This is auto-regis!

[00:49:35] [SPEAKER_00]: And I do say this is auto-regis.

[00:49:37] [SPEAKER_02]: We see ET's.

[00:49:38] [SPEAKER_02]: We see some ET's.

[00:49:40] [SPEAKER_02]: And we see some-

[00:49:41] [SPEAKER_02]: And these camera droids sort of floating around them.

[00:49:43] [SPEAKER_02]: Like so it's obviously being filmed for someone.

[00:49:45] [SPEAKER_02]: Are they sending it?

[00:49:46] [SPEAKER_02]: Do they have their own representatives?

[00:49:47] [SPEAKER_02]: The camera droids?

[00:49:48] [SPEAKER_02]: Yes.

[00:49:50] [SPEAKER_02]: You do droids have representatives?

[00:49:51] [SPEAKER_02]: I don't know.

[00:49:52] [SPEAKER_02]: Is what?

[00:49:53] [SPEAKER_02]: A representative of the guy who-

[00:49:54] [SPEAKER_02]: I don't know!

[00:49:57] [SPEAKER_02]: What's important is the movie doesn't really want you to care.

[00:49:59] [SPEAKER_02]: It's a very thin satire on political process.

[00:50:04] [SPEAKER_00]: Is what Timbore robot?

[00:50:05] [SPEAKER_00]: I always thought he was like a cyborg because he just had a cyborg.

[00:50:07] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, he just had a cyborg.

[00:50:07] [SPEAKER_00]: I don't know.

[00:50:08] [SPEAKER_00]: So does that mean who-

[00:50:10] [SPEAKER_00]: Is he serving a two masters?

[00:50:11] [SPEAKER_00]: He's more man than-

[00:50:12] [SPEAKER_00]: He's not man.

[00:50:13] [SPEAKER_00]: He's a fucking lizard, bad.

[00:50:15] [SPEAKER_02]: I'm just reading your papers.

[00:50:17] [SPEAKER_00]: It's so bad.

[00:50:19] [SPEAKER_00]: They-

[00:50:20] [SPEAKER_00]: Give me some props for the title.

[00:50:21] [SPEAKER_00]: The title at least is good.

[00:50:23] [SPEAKER_00]: I was really good at making jokes.

[00:50:25] [SPEAKER_00]: And I like the most in Andy because I had good joke writing.

[00:50:27] [SPEAKER_01]: I'm gonna edit the shit out of this episode.

[00:50:29] [SPEAKER_01]: Oh yeah.

[00:50:30] [SPEAKER_00]: This episode won't be released.

[00:50:31] [SPEAKER_00]: Make it two minutes on.

[00:50:33] [SPEAKER_00]: Probably well.

[00:50:33] [SPEAKER_00]: Back in my face, can you menstrual show me how to get to raise it?

[00:50:36] [SPEAKER_00]: I mean that's a good word plan.

[00:50:37] [SPEAKER_00]: Can you menstrual show me is maybe an overreached?

[00:50:40] [SPEAKER_00]: I don't think so.

[00:50:41] [SPEAKER_00]: I think I pulled it off.

[00:50:42] [SPEAKER_00]: I think I stuck the landing.

[00:50:44] [SPEAKER_00]: You did not.

[00:50:44] [SPEAKER_00]: The title page I think I stuck the landing.

[00:50:46] [SPEAKER_00]: And then you open it up and I'm immediately burning alive.

[00:50:51] [SPEAKER_00]: I'm running around in flames.

[00:50:54] [SPEAKER_02]: It's just-

[00:50:55] [SPEAKER_02]: The thing is like, you kind of start out with this basic history of

[00:50:58] [SPEAKER_02]: Mince Story which is fine.

[00:50:59] [SPEAKER_02]: Like you've done some research and-

[00:51:01] [SPEAKER_02]: I did a lot of research with that.

[00:51:02] [SPEAKER_02]: And then you start yelling about how like rap music is offensive.

[00:51:06] [SPEAKER_02]: And it's like where did this come from?

[00:51:08] [SPEAKER_00]: Sounds like a grandpa.

[00:51:10] [SPEAKER_01]: Oh man.

[00:51:12] [SPEAKER_01]: You are really alienating yourself.

[00:51:13] [SPEAKER_01]: You're on this podcast.

[00:51:14] [SPEAKER_00]: Uh-huh.

[00:51:16] [SPEAKER_00]: This was years ago.

[00:51:17] [SPEAKER_00]: It does sound like-

[00:51:18] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, the first half is like a well written oral history.

[00:51:21] [SPEAKER_00]: No oral history.

[00:51:21] [SPEAKER_00]: We're a well written history of the traditions and the second half just becomes

[00:51:24] [SPEAKER_00]: like Donald Trump Jr.

[00:51:26] [SPEAKER_00]: Like it's just like little, like spout off the mouth.

[00:51:28] [SPEAKER_02]: So did you like magic, Mike?

[00:51:29] [SPEAKER_02]: I did.

[00:51:30] [SPEAKER_00]: I liked the first one more.

[00:51:31] [SPEAKER_00]: That's crazy.

[00:51:33] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

[00:51:33] [SPEAKER_00]: I liked the first one more.

[00:51:34] [SPEAKER_02]: Because I do feel like with magic, Mike?

[00:51:35] [SPEAKER_02]: I liked the first one.

[00:51:35] [SPEAKER_02]: I liked the first one.

[00:51:36] [SPEAKER_02]: There was this brief hysteria.

[00:51:38] [SPEAKER_02]: Not hysteria.

[00:51:39] [SPEAKER_02]: That's the wrong word.

[00:51:39] [SPEAKER_02]: It's just super hype.

[00:51:41] [SPEAKER_02]: Everyone was going crazy about it.

[00:51:43] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, and then did something moving.

[00:51:45] [SPEAKER_02]: And then it kind of fizzled.

[00:51:47] [SPEAKER_02]: It didn't make a lot of money.

[00:51:48] [SPEAKER_02]: It made fine money.

[00:51:49] [SPEAKER_02]: But the first movie was like a genuine phenomenon.

[00:51:52] [SPEAKER_02]: And this one wasn't.

[00:51:54] [SPEAKER_02]: And it was interesting.

[00:51:55] [SPEAKER_02]: 94% of their audience was apparently female in Hollywood, which is the in the movie theater

[00:51:59] [SPEAKER_02]: which was crazy.

[00:52:01] [SPEAKER_02]: But I feel like no one's talking about it.

[00:52:02] [SPEAKER_02]: It was a really interesting movie.

[00:52:04] [SPEAKER_02]: I really liked that.

[00:52:04] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

[00:52:04] [SPEAKER_02]: I do think that's a fascinating movie.

[00:52:06] [SPEAKER_00]: Can we talk about stars up to a tackle?

[00:52:09] [SPEAKER_02]: If you want, I don't know what to say about that one.

[00:52:11] [SPEAKER_02]: I haven't heard of that one.

[00:52:12] [SPEAKER_00]: I don't know.

[00:52:13] [SPEAKER_00]: So it's such a fucking brain fuck of a movie.

[00:52:17] [SPEAKER_02]: Look, the movie is mostly about a romance.

[00:52:19] [SPEAKER_02]: That's a problem.

[00:52:21] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, but Anna can keep some talk about how he wants to dictate your ship.

[00:52:25] [SPEAKER_00]: He does?

[00:52:27] [SPEAKER_00]: Right.

[00:52:27] [SPEAKER_00]: He thinks one person should just lead everything.

[00:52:30] [SPEAKER_02]: In the same way stars in the vein.

[00:52:33] [SPEAKER_02]: I think you mean...

[00:52:34] [SPEAKER_02]: It's a great old way.

[00:52:36] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, yeah.

[00:52:37] [SPEAKER_02]: You wrote vein like weather vein, but I think you mean like...

[00:52:39] [SPEAKER_02]: I also are vein.

[00:52:41] [SPEAKER_00]: Guarantee you.

[00:52:42] [SPEAKER_00]: I wrote this thing in four hours between 2 a.m.

[00:52:46] [SPEAKER_00]: 6 a.m.

[00:52:47] [SPEAKER_00]: The morning before I had to hand it in.

[00:52:49] [SPEAKER_00]: I guarantee that.

[00:52:49] [SPEAKER_02]: In the same way stars in the vein of Elvis and James C.

[00:52:52] [SPEAKER_02]: Like I would say some very...

[00:52:54] [SPEAKER_02]: Some people I know who listened to this podcast.

[00:52:57] [SPEAKER_02]: We got like Lux...

[00:52:58] [SPEAKER_02]: From Lux out, you know,

[00:52:59] [SPEAKER_02]: And or Avery Edison.

[00:53:01] [SPEAKER_02]: Like people who I think are very like smart,

[00:53:04] [SPEAKER_02]: like sort of progressive minded people

[00:53:05] [SPEAKER_02]: who write really well and think really well on these kinds of things.

[00:53:08] [SPEAKER_02]: Just see how many anti-ver.

[00:53:09] [SPEAKER_02]: They'll never want to speak to you.

[00:53:11] [SPEAKER_02]: I suppose I've already this loud.

[00:53:12] [SPEAKER_02]: In the same way stars in the vein of Elvis and James D.

[00:53:15] [SPEAKER_02]: And made kids want to wear leather jackets in the 50s.

[00:53:18] [SPEAKER_02]: The children of this generation grow up eagerly awaiting the day.

[00:53:21] [SPEAKER_02]: They acquire a clock.

[00:53:22] [SPEAKER_02]: I'll keep with it.

[00:53:23] [SPEAKER_00]: Guarantee you.

[00:53:24] Who the fuck?

[00:53:25] [SPEAKER_00]: That's like an Andy...

[00:53:27] [SPEAKER_00]: Which is a clock.

[00:53:28] [SPEAKER_00]: Who do you call a clock?

[00:53:28] [SPEAKER_02]: God, and as well, but yeah, it's ridiculous.

[00:53:30] [SPEAKER_02]: Fucking like talking about...

[00:53:31] [SPEAKER_02]: I don't know what you're talking about.

[00:53:33] [SPEAKER_00]: I don't even know.

[00:53:35] [SPEAKER_00]: I'm such an angry kid.

[00:53:38] [SPEAKER_00]: I don't know.

[00:53:39] [SPEAKER_00]: I think...

[00:53:40] [SPEAKER_00]: Like I had a very...

[00:53:43] [SPEAKER_00]: But what are you angry about?

[00:53:44] [SPEAKER_02]: That's so interesting.

[00:53:45] [SPEAKER_02]: I agree about myself.

[00:53:46] [SPEAKER_02]: I hate it.

[00:53:46] [SPEAKER_02]: I hate it.

[00:53:46] [SPEAKER_02]: I hate it.

[00:53:46] [SPEAKER_02]: I hate it.

[00:53:47] [SPEAKER_02]: I hate it.

[00:53:47] [SPEAKER_02]: I hate it.

[00:53:47] [SPEAKER_02]: I hate it.

[00:53:47] [SPEAKER_02]: I hate it.

[00:53:48] [SPEAKER_02]: I hate it.

[00:53:48] [SPEAKER_02]: I hate it.

[00:53:49] [SPEAKER_02]: I hate it.

[00:53:57] [SPEAKER_02]: What do you so mad about?

[00:54:01] [SPEAKER_02]: What's happening to you?

[00:54:03] [SPEAKER_02]: Sometimes maybe some terrible things happen.

[00:54:05] [SPEAKER_02]: I have no idea.

[00:54:06] [SPEAKER_02]: Tell me now.

[00:54:07] [SPEAKER_02]: But it's a...

[00:54:07] [SPEAKER_02]: No, you're fine.

[00:54:08] [SPEAKER_02]: I'm fine.

[00:54:09] [SPEAKER_02]: I just have the hormones and whatever.

[00:54:10] [SPEAKER_02]: I just have the sad.

[00:54:11] [SPEAKER_02]: I don't know.

[00:54:12] [SPEAKER_02]: You're a grown man.

[00:54:13] [SPEAKER_02]: I don't know if you can blame hormones.

[00:54:14] [SPEAKER_00]: No, at the time.

[00:54:15] [SPEAKER_00]: I'm so sorry.

[00:54:16] [SPEAKER_00]: At the time of this.

[00:54:16] [SPEAKER_02]: For sure.

[00:54:19] [SPEAKER_00]: I mean, this is the thing I've always talked about.

[00:54:25] [SPEAKER_00]: Like...

[00:54:28] [SPEAKER_00]: Everything...

[00:54:28] [SPEAKER_00]: That...

[00:54:29] [SPEAKER_00]: Okay.

[00:54:30] [SPEAKER_00]: No.

[00:54:30] [SPEAKER_00]: That's enough.

[00:54:32] [SPEAKER_01]: I don't know what that's.

[00:54:34] [SPEAKER_01]: I don't know what that's.

[00:54:35] [SPEAKER_01]: I don't know what that's.

[00:54:35] [SPEAKER_01]: That's not...

[00:54:36] [SPEAKER_01]: Alright, listen.

[00:54:37] [SPEAKER_01]: This is a life ago.

[00:54:38] [SPEAKER_01]: This was a life ago.

[00:54:39] [SPEAKER_00]: I don't stand by.

[00:54:40] [SPEAKER_00]: I don't...

[00:54:40] [SPEAKER_01]: No, I know.

[00:54:41] [SPEAKER_01]: Alright, listen.

[00:54:43] [SPEAKER_01]: I... I'm going to pose this question.

[00:54:44] [SPEAKER_01]: Okay.

[00:54:44] [SPEAKER_01]: To you, gentlemen.

[00:54:46] [SPEAKER_01]: Donald Trump is leading.

[00:54:49] [SPEAKER_01]: And the Republican Party has candidate.

[00:54:51] [SPEAKER_00]: What do you think?

[00:54:51] [SPEAKER_00]: Leave this essay and say that he wrote it.

[00:54:54] [SPEAKER_01]: We could maybe do that.

[00:54:55] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

[00:54:55] [SPEAKER_02]: This essay might be too well written for Donald Trump.

[00:54:58] [SPEAKER_02]: It probably is.

[00:54:59] [SPEAKER_02]: He... yeah.

[00:54:59] [SPEAKER_02]: Anyway, gone.

[00:55:00] [SPEAKER_01]: But the question I'll pose to you is...

[00:55:04] [SPEAKER_01]: Donald Trump, I mean, the idea that he could be president.

[00:55:08] [SPEAKER_01]: Like that he would even be considered a legitimate candidate.

[00:55:10] [SPEAKER_01]: It was my fucking mind.

[00:55:11] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

[00:55:12] [SPEAKER_01]: But to bring it to the movie,

[00:55:14] [SPEAKER_01]: you have that dual character of Palpatine.

[00:55:19] [SPEAKER_01]: Yep.

[00:55:20] [SPEAKER_01]: And also...

[00:55:21] [SPEAKER_01]: That's it.

[00:55:22] [SPEAKER_01]: I think that Trump maybe is a dark figure.

[00:55:27] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

[00:55:28] [SPEAKER_01]: That maybe potentially under the wig.

[00:55:31] [SPEAKER_01]: And when he pulls his face in off his head.

[00:55:33] [SPEAKER_02]: What? He's a reptilian.

[00:55:35] [SPEAKER_02]: He's part of the reptilian leech.

[00:55:37] [SPEAKER_02]: He's like, he's into the reptilian thing.

[00:55:39] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

[00:55:39] [SPEAKER_01]: That's what I think is going on.

[00:55:40] [SPEAKER_02]: But fucking say I'm Westall.

[00:55:41] [SPEAKER_00]: Well, that's true. She is a changeling.

[00:55:43] [SPEAKER_00]: Maybe it doesn't have to rip it off.

[00:55:45] [SPEAKER_00]: Maybe it's face just changes.

[00:55:46] [SPEAKER_01]: He's a shapeshifter.

[00:55:48] [SPEAKER_00]: He's more dangerous than we ever thought.

[00:55:50] [SPEAKER_01]: I'm not sure what's going on.

[00:55:51] [SPEAKER_01]: This is the best I can...

[00:55:52] [SPEAKER_01]: I don't know. I was just trying to throw something in there.

[00:55:54] [SPEAKER_01]: That's quite a right thing.

[00:55:54] [SPEAKER_00]: I love black people.

[00:55:55] [SPEAKER_00]: I don't know.

[00:55:56] [SPEAKER_00]: That's a good idea.

[00:55:57] [SPEAKER_00]: No, I'm not a human.

[00:55:59] [SPEAKER_00]: I've got to say that.

[00:56:00] [SPEAKER_00]: I like a more than white people.

[00:56:01] [SPEAKER_00]: I think white people say...

[00:56:02] [SPEAKER_00]: If I wrote this paper today, it'd be about how white people need to fucking shape up and ship out.

[00:56:08] [SPEAKER_00]: That's what I'd be saying.

[00:56:09] [SPEAKER_00]: I don't know.

[00:56:10] [SPEAKER_00]: Nothing in humanity makes sense anymore.

[00:56:13] [SPEAKER_00]: Oh boy.

[00:56:14] [SPEAKER_00]: Griffin...

[00:56:14] [SPEAKER_00]: I don't know.

[00:56:15] [SPEAKER_02]: I don't know what to do.

[00:56:15] [SPEAKER_01]: All right.

[00:56:16] [SPEAKER_01]: Well, you know what?

[00:56:17] [SPEAKER_01]: Let's wrap this up.

[00:56:18] [SPEAKER_01]: No.

[00:56:19] [SPEAKER_01]: Wait, what do we add?

[00:56:20] [SPEAKER_01]: We're...

[00:56:20] [SPEAKER_01]: I don't know.

[00:56:21] [SPEAKER_02]: I'm just trying to find something terrible.

[00:56:25] [SPEAKER_02]: Well, everything's a war.

[00:56:26] [SPEAKER_02]: Oh my god.

[00:56:26] [SPEAKER_02]: Did you tell the Swiftpost in Instagram when it got 1 million likes?

[00:56:29] [SPEAKER_02]: Well, was it?

[00:56:30] [SPEAKER_02]: I don't know.

[00:56:30] [SPEAKER_02]: It's a picture of her in a fucking thing.

[00:56:33] [SPEAKER_00]: Did you post an Instagram with the title page?

[00:56:35] [SPEAKER_00]: I'm going to.

[00:56:36] [SPEAKER_00]: Do you want me to?

[00:56:37] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

[00:56:37] [SPEAKER_00]: I just don't think it'll read the inside.

[00:56:39] [SPEAKER_00]: If it listens to the podcast, they hear us read it.

[00:56:42] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, actually, I might...

[00:56:43] [SPEAKER_02]: I might tweet it.

[00:56:43] [SPEAKER_02]: It's less of a new Instagram more of a tweet.

[00:56:45] [SPEAKER_00]: Are we going insane, David?

[00:56:47] [SPEAKER_00]: Of course.

[00:56:47] [SPEAKER_02]: No, I actually...

[00:56:49] [SPEAKER_02]: I consider this therapy.

[00:56:51] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

[00:56:51] [SPEAKER_00]: This is a really enjoy this.

[00:56:53] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

[00:56:53] [SPEAKER_02]: Every week, we usually chat for a while before we even start recording and it's a very nice...

[00:56:59] [SPEAKER_00]: God say to you, the cornstarch Scientology is that you sit in a room and you audit all your past guilt

[00:57:04] [SPEAKER_00]: and your experiences of shame.

[00:57:07] [SPEAKER_00]: And so you relieve them from your body so it's no longer weighing you down.

[00:57:10] [SPEAKER_00]: I don't want to talk about Scientology.

[00:57:12] [SPEAKER_00]: Well, I'm saying maybe this episode was my auditing.

[00:57:14] [SPEAKER_00]: I had to read this paper on air.

[00:57:16] [SPEAKER_00]: It's very embarrassing.

[00:57:17] [SPEAKER_00]: Because I've been living with this shame.

[00:57:19] [SPEAKER_00]: People who are living.

[00:57:20] [SPEAKER_02]: These are better people than that paper makes them sound like that.

[00:57:22] [SPEAKER_02]: It's very important to state that.

[00:57:24] [SPEAKER_02]: And he is aware that that paper is an example of the most worst, most horrible kind of

[00:57:29] [SPEAKER_02]: like entitlement.

[00:57:30] [SPEAKER_00]: And I don't tell anyone how to behave these days.

[00:57:34] [SPEAKER_00]: But it was an angry kid.

[00:57:37] [SPEAKER_00]: It was 15 years old.

[00:57:38] [SPEAKER_00]: I probably just saw a beauty shop for the day before.

[00:57:41] [SPEAKER_00]: I was angry about it for some reason.

[00:57:43] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

[00:57:43] [SPEAKER_00]: And also, want to restate, probably wrote the whole thing in four hours.

[00:57:48] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

[00:57:48] [SPEAKER_00]: Unlike no sleep.

[00:57:52] [SPEAKER_00]: I want to end this.

[00:57:53] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, we got it.

[00:57:54] [SPEAKER_00]: And by this, I mean my life.

[00:57:55] [SPEAKER_00]: I want to just...

[00:57:55] [SPEAKER_00]: Now wait a second.

[00:57:56] [SPEAKER_00]: Call a client.

[00:57:57] [SPEAKER_00]: Don't talk like that.

[00:57:59] [SPEAKER_00]: No, this was a great productive episode.

[00:58:01] [SPEAKER_00]: I audited a lot of my themes out of my system.

[00:58:06] [SPEAKER_02]: Now, the people in the planes that Zina bought, right?

[00:58:11] [SPEAKER_00]: They're the creatures that like negative emotion.

[00:58:13] [SPEAKER_00]: They went into the volcano and became negative emotions.

[00:58:16] [SPEAKER_00]: And they made them on a flat-stuch.

[00:58:18] [SPEAKER_02]: And what do they look like?

[00:58:20] [SPEAKER_02]: I don't know.

[00:58:20] [SPEAKER_02]: I imagine them like Blinky, like little Pac-Man ghosts.

[00:58:23] [SPEAKER_00]: I was going to say, I think they look like space invaders, like the little sprites.

[00:58:28] [SPEAKER_02]: And so they're just around us.

[00:58:30] [SPEAKER_00]: They go into our body and they hold it down.

[00:58:32] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, you have to clear the themes.

[00:58:33] [SPEAKER_00]: You have to release them from your body.

[00:58:35] [SPEAKER_00]: And if you're clear, they're clear.

[00:58:36] [SPEAKER_00]: They're clear.

[00:58:36] [SPEAKER_00]: Like doubt and shame and things like that.

[00:58:40] [SPEAKER_00]: Past memories and traumas.

[00:58:42] [SPEAKER_02]: It's what I don't like about modern religions.

[00:58:44] [SPEAKER_02]: I mean, whether Scientology is even a religion, I understand this.

[00:58:48] [SPEAKER_02]: You know?

[00:58:48] [SPEAKER_02]: But it's like, it's like, it's too self-helpy.

[00:58:50] [SPEAKER_02]: It's too self-helpy.

[00:58:52] [SPEAKER_02]: When I like about old religions, this is like, look, you want to know how to live?

[00:58:56] [SPEAKER_02]: Here are the rules.

[00:58:58] [SPEAKER_02]: That's it.

[00:58:58] [SPEAKER_02]: Follow the rules.

[00:59:00] [SPEAKER_00]: Don't, don't, don't, don't.

[00:59:00] [SPEAKER_00]: And you're like, but I feel like, I showed you the rules.

[00:59:03] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, these basic rules apply to everybody.

[00:59:05] [SPEAKER_00]: That's the rules.

[00:59:06] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

[00:59:06] [SPEAKER_00]: I don't care who you are.

[00:59:07] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, don't steal shit.

[00:59:08] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

[00:59:08] [SPEAKER_00]: Don't write racist papers.

[00:59:11] [SPEAKER_00]: And I'm not saying I'm a religious person because I'm not.

[00:59:13] [SPEAKER_00]: No, no, no, no, great thing.

[00:59:14] [SPEAKER_00]: Need a bit of a start.

[00:59:17] [SPEAKER_00]: In conclusion is Star Wars Episode 2 attack at the clones a good sequel to Phantom Manus?

[00:59:22] [SPEAKER_00]: No, obviously not.

[00:59:23] [SPEAKER_00]: So I mean, I don't know.

[00:59:24] [SPEAKER_00]: Is it a clue?

[00:59:25] [SPEAKER_00]: Is it a clue?

[00:59:25] [SPEAKER_02]: I don't even know.

[00:59:27] [SPEAKER_02]: No, is it?

[00:59:29] [SPEAKER_02]: I think it is.

[00:59:30] [SPEAKER_02]: I don't, I think it's something that's a better and worse.

[00:59:33] [SPEAKER_02]: Like I don't.

[00:59:34] [SPEAKER_02]: I think it's, I think it's simultaneously worse than worse.

[00:59:38] [SPEAKER_02]: Okay.

[00:59:39] [SPEAKER_00]: Ben, the final thoughts.

[00:59:40] [SPEAKER_02]: No, you know, go ahead.

[00:59:41] [SPEAKER_02]: Finish it though.

[00:59:42] [SPEAKER_01]: Final thoughts.

[00:59:43] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

[00:59:44] [SPEAKER_01]: Uh, yeah.

[00:59:46] [SPEAKER_01]: We're still talking about this movie.

[00:59:49] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

[00:59:49] [SPEAKER_01]: No.

[00:59:50] [SPEAKER_01]: Don't worry.

[00:59:51] [SPEAKER_02]: Are you going to get Connor next week?

[00:59:53] [SPEAKER_02]: Maybe I don't know.

[00:59:54] [SPEAKER_02]: We should do DVD extras next week.

[00:59:56] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I like to bring Connor back.

[00:59:59] [SPEAKER_01]: But, Griffin, don't worry.

[01:00:01] [SPEAKER_01]: You're in good hands.

[01:00:02] [SPEAKER_01]: I'm going to cut this episode of to make it sound like you're not a complete monster.

[01:00:06] [SPEAKER_00]: No, it's not.

[01:00:06] [SPEAKER_00]: It's less about the fact that this is going to be listened to by people, which at

[01:00:11] [SPEAKER_00]: this point, no one's listening this far to the episode.

[01:00:14] [SPEAKER_00]: And more just about the fact, this is okay.

[01:00:15] [SPEAKER_00]: Fucking tie it all back into together.

[01:00:17] [SPEAKER_00]: This whole moving thing has just been me having to relive like every element of my entire life.

[01:00:21] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, you know?

[01:00:22] [SPEAKER_00]: It's tough.

[01:00:23] [SPEAKER_00]: Like the good and the bad.

[01:00:24] [SPEAKER_00]: Good to be right.

[01:00:25] [SPEAKER_00]: You see a lot of fucking years of confusion.

[01:00:27] [SPEAKER_00]: You see like, like misplaced emotions.

[01:00:30] [SPEAKER_00]: I see a lot of grammatical errors that really, that's honestly the stuff that Maris

[01:00:34] [SPEAKER_00]: is me the most.

[01:00:35] [SPEAKER_00]: I mean, like as, as wrong headed in ugly as this paper is, it's also just poorly written.

[01:00:40] [SPEAKER_00]: I mean, these are poorly structured sentences riddled with typos and far too many

[01:00:44] [SPEAKER_00]: common as run on sentences.

[01:00:48] [SPEAKER_00]: Like the sentence I'm speaking right now.

[01:00:52] [SPEAKER_00]: Shiver with the fucking my talk about.

[01:00:53] [SPEAKER_00]: I don't, I'm done tomorrow.

[01:00:55] [SPEAKER_00]: The move is done and I'm putting all the shit in the box.

[01:00:57] [SPEAKER_00]: I'm never looking at it ever again until like five years from now.

[01:01:00] [SPEAKER_00]: And I'm probably going to open up the box and cry.

[01:01:03] [SPEAKER_01]: I think that's a good plan.

[01:01:04] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, how's your dad doing David?

[01:01:06] [SPEAKER_02]: He died when I was 20 years old.

[01:01:08] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, it sucks.

[01:01:09] [SPEAKER_00]: This is not the bad answer.

[01:01:10] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, it's okay.

[01:01:11] [SPEAKER_00]: I mean, you did a bad job answering.

[01:01:13] [SPEAKER_00]: Oh, I blew it.

[01:01:14] [SPEAKER_00]: You did.

[01:01:14] [SPEAKER_00]: It's just not the answer I want to hear.

[01:01:16] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I'm sorry.

[01:01:17] [SPEAKER_00]: It's good man.

[01:01:18] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, absolutely.

[01:01:19] [SPEAKER_00]: What was the name?

[01:01:19] [SPEAKER_00]: John.

[01:01:20] [SPEAKER_00]: You don't know this about me?

[01:01:21] [SPEAKER_00]: No.

[01:01:22] [SPEAKER_00]: Can we dedicate the episode to him?

[01:01:24] [SPEAKER_00]: Of course.

[01:01:24] [SPEAKER_02]: I dedicate everything I do to him.

[01:01:26] [SPEAKER_00]: Every single.

[01:01:27] [SPEAKER_02]: Johnny Sims.

[01:01:29] [SPEAKER_02]: No one really called Johnny.

[01:01:30] [SPEAKER_02]: He was a John.

[01:01:31] [SPEAKER_02]: I called him.

[01:01:32] [SPEAKER_00]: I've never really done it with Ghost Ads.

[01:01:35] [SPEAKER_00]: You have to be cloak with a ghost.

[01:01:36] [SPEAKER_02]: No, no.

[01:01:37] [SPEAKER_02]: And this came up in trivia.

[01:01:39] [SPEAKER_02]: He's not actually dead in Ghost Dead, right?

[01:01:41] [SPEAKER_02]: That's the thing.

[01:01:42] [SPEAKER_02]: He's actually in a coma.

[01:01:43] [SPEAKER_02]: Because there was a trivia where we had to identify whether or not the ghost was a ghost.

[01:01:48] [SPEAKER_00]: I can't believe it.

[01:01:50] [SPEAKER_00]: We're recording it.

[01:01:51] [SPEAKER_02]: And Ghost Ad was there and we were like, it's Ghost Ad.

[01:01:54] [SPEAKER_02]: He's a ghost.

[01:01:55] [SPEAKER_02]: It's in the title.

[01:01:55] [SPEAKER_02]: You know, there was Bill Cosby with this little, he's like, you know,

[01:01:58] [SPEAKER_02]: Tipping his hat or something.

[01:02:00] [SPEAKER_02]: And then we reminded.

[01:02:01] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, no, he's not dead in the movie.

[01:02:03] [SPEAKER_02]: He's just in a coma.

[01:02:05] [SPEAKER_02]: Which makes sense because otherwise Ghost Ad would be very sad.

[01:02:08] [SPEAKER_00]: I believe it was a picture around in what's the question was dead or not.

[01:02:12] [SPEAKER_00]: Right, right, right, right, right.

[01:02:14] [SPEAKER_00]: And it turned out that only one of them was actually dead or something.

[01:02:17] [SPEAKER_00]: It was a ghost or not.

[01:02:20] [SPEAKER_02]: I think it was, I think you're right.

[01:02:22] [SPEAKER_02]: I think it was dead or not.

[01:02:23] [SPEAKER_02]: It might have been Ghost or not.

[01:02:24] [SPEAKER_02]: It might have been Ghost or not, which was the more confusing.

[01:02:26] [SPEAKER_02]: That was the, because that round was a disaster.

[01:02:28] [SPEAKER_02]: It was a disaster.

[01:02:29] [SPEAKER_02]: It was like this whole question.

[01:02:30] [SPEAKER_00]: And it was like, he's not actually a ghost.

[01:02:32] [SPEAKER_02]: Even though it's called Ghost Ad because he's not dead, he's in a coma.

[01:02:36] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, much like just like heaven.

[01:02:38] [SPEAKER_02]: Yes, which was the same thing.

[01:02:40] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, same thing.

[01:02:41] [SPEAKER_02]: Okay, with Reese with a spoon and Mark Ruffalo.

[01:02:43] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

[01:02:44] [SPEAKER_02]: Directed by Mark Ruffalo.

[01:02:45] [SPEAKER_02]: It was the movie he made after me and girls.

[01:02:47] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

[01:02:48] [SPEAKER_00]: I believe.

[01:02:49] [SPEAKER_00]: Thank you for listening to Attack of the Podcast.

[01:02:52] [SPEAKER_00]: I promise next week we're going to actually produce content.

[01:02:55] [SPEAKER_00]: Uh, we're no, we are getting fucking back on the horse.

[01:02:58] [SPEAKER_00]: Let's not make promises we can't.

[01:02:59] [SPEAKER_00]: I'm promising.

[01:03:00] [SPEAKER_00]: Okay.

[01:03:02] [SPEAKER_00]: David any any final thoughts?

[01:03:08] [SPEAKER_02]: I was just looking, but it's a little microphone guard over there.

[01:03:11] [SPEAKER_02]: I'm losing my hand.

[01:03:12] [SPEAKER_02]: Ben, goodbye, final.

[01:03:14] [SPEAKER_02]: The politics of Attack of the Cloned are thinly drawn.

[01:03:17] [SPEAKER_02]: Great.

[01:03:18] [SPEAKER_02]: That is my final phone.

[01:03:19] [SPEAKER_00]: You make sense of any of this.

[01:03:20] [SPEAKER_02]: To be fair, you did text me.

[01:03:21] [SPEAKER_02]: We texted today and we were like, what are we going to do today?

[01:03:24] [SPEAKER_02]: And you're like, I don't know, politics.

[01:03:25] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

[01:03:26] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

[01:03:26] [SPEAKER_02]: It's 20 minutes in that.

[01:03:27] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I had another plan tied to a guest with us.

[01:03:30] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, we had another plan in a parallel part.

[01:03:31] [SPEAKER_00]: That's true.

[01:03:32] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

[01:03:32] [SPEAKER_00]: Much like life is what happens when people plant small par a right Ben.

[01:03:38] [SPEAKER_02]: And as always, fuck 15 year-old grand.

[01:03:43] [SPEAKER_02]: Life is what happens when plants fall apart.
