Hey, Michael, you 36 00:02:37.080 --> 00:02:38.039 know, if I if I tell my kids what industry to get into, 37 00:02:38.080 --> 00:02:42.240 should I put them into technology? Should they understand? Is that a big 38 00:02:42.360 --> 00:02:44.919 job? Can you make a lot of money? You know? Years and 39 00:02:45.000 --> 00:02:49.000 years ago? Yeah, I used to work for Microsoft. I mean, 40 00:02:49.199 --> 00:02:52.120 did you make a ton of money? Sadly, I'm still wasting my Saturday's 41 00:02:52.159 --> 00:02:53.919 talking to you guys. You see you what I did there? You said. 42 00:02:55.240 --> 00:02:59.080 But over the past few years, the tech sector has not been doing 43 00:02:59.199 --> 00:03:02.039 very well, a lot of layoffs. But there is a tech sector that 44 00:03:02.479 --> 00:03:07.719 is doing very well. And if I had kids who are younger, who 45 00:03:07.800 --> 00:03:10.879 were even thinking of going to college, I probably would tell him to do 46 00:03:10.919 --> 00:03:14.840 this. Alas, my three boys are out of college, and if they 47 00:03:14.840 --> 00:03:20.879 are listening, Hey boys, Tomorrow's Father's Day.

Here's my plan for 61 00:04:13.639 --> 00:04:16.240 the weekend, Because I am a loser, I am gonna sit in my 62 00:04:16.279 --> 00:04:20.959 butt on the couch watching and I'm a big golf fan watching the US Open 63 00:04:21.120 --> 00:04:25.000 from LA Country Club, where I should be with my son who lives in 64 00:04:25.120 --> 00:04:28.519 LA, but he didn't invite me. I should be a there, but 65 00:04:28.519 --> 00:04:33.079 I'm not, so I'm gonna sit on the couch watching NBC. Literally, 66 00:04:33.120 --> 00:04:35.319 because I've done it Thursday, done it Friday, I'm gonna do it today, 67 00:04:35.319 --> 00:04:38.360 and I'm gonna do it tonight. I'm gonna do it tomorrow Tomorrow night 68 00:04:38.480 --> 00:04:40.399 number one. I'm I'm gonna tell you this. I'm a golf fan. 69 00:04:40.920 --> 00:04:46.319 I love when major golf tournaments are on the West Coast because coverage goes into 70 00:04:46.399 --> 00:04:49.519 the night here in Central Time, because he goes. I mean literally, 71 00:04:49.560 --> 00:04:55.000 I think the Thursday and Friday, I think the tournament ended it. I 72 00:04:55.000 --> 00:04:59.120 I was watching it until about nine o'clock. I loved it because there's no 73 00:04:59.160 --> 00:05:00.639 other sports that I can about going on right now. Basketball is over, 74 00:05:00.680 --> 00:05:04.759 I hate hockey, Baseball is like whatever, not football season. I love 75 00:05:04.759 --> 00:05:09.399 it. So anyway that'll that'll keep me occupied. So that's my day? 76 00:05:09.519 --> 00:05:13.759 Is it? Is that sad that this is all I have planned? That, 77 00:05:13.959 --> 00:05:17.120 Michael, because I have one son's here and he'll I'll see him tomorrow 78 00:05:17.199 --> 00:05:20.319 Sunday and he's not really a golf band, but he'll do whatever I want. 79 00:05:20.800 --> 00:05:24.399 I'm just gonna be sitting there watching or should I be out doing something? 80 00:05:24.560 --> 00:05:27.399 What am I supposed to do? I mean, I don't know. 81 00:05:27.439 --> 00:05:30.439 Here's here's here's the other dilemma. People, you can we're taking a pull 82 00:05:30.480 --> 00:05:33.639 seven one, three, two, five nine five. Oh moms, this 83 00:05:33.680 --> 00:05:38.360 is for you. Let's go back to Mother's Day. Do you want to 84 00:05:38.360 --> 00:05:43.439 celebrate being a mom or in dad on this day with your with your kids 85 00:05:43.519 --> 00:05:46.879 or without your kids? Now, now stand by, say you've got young 86 00:05:46.959 --> 00:05:51.279 kids and all you do is you raise your kids. Maybe they're in diapers, 87 00:05:51.800 --> 00:05:57.560 kindergarten, preteens. Sometimes you want to be away from your kids. 88 00:05:57.759 --> 00:06:00.759 Not being a rude, do you want to get away from your kids on 89 00:06:00.959 --> 00:06:03.480 Father's Day or Mother's Day? Or do you want to be with your kids 90 00:06:03.759 --> 00:06:09.800 on Father's Day or Mother's Day? Serious question? Think it over, talk 91 00:06:09.839 --> 00:06:12.920 to me tweeting me at High Tech Texan. It's it's, it's it's it's 92 00:06:12.959 --> 00:06:15.560 a tough call.

I'm gonna talk about this, maybe next break Insta Pot the company 97 00:06:30.040 --> 00:06:36.279 as I filed for bankruptcy. I'm not kidding you. You know you've got 98 00:06:36.279 --> 00:06:42.040 a popular product. When so many people have it, there's no more to 99 00:06:42.079 --> 00:06:46.399 sell, and so you've what do you do?

They're really really good. They give your free 170 00:11:28.799 --> 00:11:33.240 written appraisals. Every expert, every employees and expert over there. They are 171 00:11:33.279 --> 00:11:37.879 really so good, safe, secure, on duty and off off duty police 172 00:11:37.879 --> 00:11:41.480 officers, privacy boosts and everything. They're so cool. So a big shout 173 00:11:41.480 --> 00:11:45.919 out to them. I was on their podcast about it was about three weeks 174 00:11:45.919 --> 00:11:48.919 so that was fun. Very talented folks. They've been it's just family run 175 00:11:48.960 --> 00:11:50.320 business, been there for so long. US Coins and Julie, so tell 176 00:11:50.399 --> 00:11:54.600 them, I said, what up? And Happy Father's Day too. They're 177 00:11:54.600 --> 00:11:56.240 both dads, so Happy Father's Day too, Kenny and m Matt Duncan. 178 00:11:56.360 --> 00:12:01.320 As we continue. If you got kids and you're trying to figure out how 179 00:12:01.360 --> 00:12:05.840 young they are and when they should get on social media, I think, 180 00:12:05.879 --> 00:12:09.080 but what's the rule? If you could be thirteen? It on Facebook or 181 00:12:09.120 --> 00:12:13.759 something like that? Easy? Does it? Your governor? Texas Governor Greg 182 00:12:13.759 --> 00:12:26.440 Abbott he signed a bill earlier this week banning kids under eighteen from joining several 183 00:12:26.480 --> 00:12:33.480 social media sites without parental consent. Look at him? Parents? What say 184 00:12:33.559 --> 00:12:39.080 you? House Bell? Eighteen? It requires social media companies to receive explicit 185 00:12:39.080 --> 00:12:43.960 consent from a miner's parent or guardian before they'd be allowed to create their own 186 00:12:45.000 --> 00:12:46.919 accounts. And this starts in September of next year. I gues September of 187 00:12:46.919 --> 00:12:50.600 twenty twenty four. And it forces these companies to prevent children from seeing quote 188 00:12:50.679 --> 00:12:58.840 unquote harmful content by creating new filtering systems. Other states have done this in 189 00:12:58.879 --> 00:13:01.360 Actually last week I told you Louisiana did this. How about that Texas? 190 00:13:01.480 --> 00:13:13.159 Following Louisiana in something is this good or bad? Not what to tell you 191 00:13:13.200 --> 00:13:16.360 what some people think it's bad. Here's a dude named Carl Zabo. He 192 00:13:16.480 --> 00:13:20.480 is the VP of net Choice. I don't know what that is, but 193 00:13:20.480 --> 00:13:22.200 he says, quote, we're disappointed to see Governor Rabbit signed into a bill 194 00:13:22.320 --> 00:13:26.360 a law that sign and signed into law, a bill that erodes parental rights 195 00:13:26.399 --> 00:13:33.000 while violating the first Amendment in digital freedoms for every Texan unquote you see, 196 00:13:33.600 --> 00:13:37.440 I will say this Texas's definition of a quote digital service, it's very broad. 197 00:13:37.480 --> 00:13:41.879 It's very broad. Under the law, parental consent would be necessary for 198 00:13:41.000 --> 00:13:48.759 kids trying to access nearly any site that collects identifying information, even an email 199 00:13:48.759 --> 00:13:56.360 address. So again he's listen, told you. Louisiana passes Simmer bill. 200 00:13:56.720 --> 00:14:01.240 Similar bill Connecticut, Marylyn, Minnesota, Jersey, Ohio, they've considered similar 201 00:14:01.320 --> 00:14:05.279 Look at its good or bad? Seven one two, one two, five 202 00:14:05.440 --> 00:14:09.600 nine five. It's I gotta say this. I'm just so happy to have 203 00:14:09.720 --> 00:14:13.159 older kids who were just I don't have to worry about something like that. 204 00:14:15.080 --> 00:14:18.759 All my kids were over eighteen, and all my kids had social media accounts 205 00:14:18.159 --> 00:14:22.679 when they were yeah, when they were under eighteen. I mean it's like, 206 00:14:24.000 --> 00:14:26.639 when how old before you get your kid a phone? See my oldest 207 00:14:28.639 --> 00:14:33.120 is he he's wait, he's twenty, he'll be twenty nine. I mean, 208 00:14:33.240 --> 00:14:35.559 yeah, cell phones were around twenty nine years ago, But twenty nine 209 00:14:35.679 --> 00:14:39.480 years ago, kids did not have cell phones. I mean at a young 210 00:14:39.559 --> 00:14:41.320 age, I didn't have to go through that. Now. I introduced him 211 00:14:41.320 --> 00:14:48.639 to computers and obviously electronic gadgets, just like my parents introduced me to similar 212 00:14:50.279 --> 00:14:52.759 got out of analogy, some sort of electronic guide you back in the day, 213 00:14:52.799 --> 00:14:54.759 which I loved in my passion. But I taught my kids when they 214 00:14:54.799 --> 00:14:58.120 were young. I had little software programs and you know that this big mouse 215 00:14:58.200 --> 00:15:01.720 that the kids would would, you know, learn how to have hand high 216 00:15:01.720 --> 00:15:05.600 coordination, and you know, video games. And we also have VHS tapes 217 00:15:05.600 --> 00:15:07.279 of Barney. I mean, hell, I grew up with Sesame Street, 218 00:15:07.279 --> 00:15:13.440 and I'm not known that's not technology. But whatever the medium, the educational, 219 00:15:13.879 --> 00:15:20.360 yes, educational, it is whatever it was round there. I wanted 220 00:15:20.440 --> 00:15:24.679 my kids, my three boys, to have the latest, and I understand 221 00:15:24.720 --> 00:15:28.159 parents they wanted to do the same thing. But watching Sesame Street when I 222 00:15:28.240 --> 00:15:33.720 was a kid was not dangerous or harmful. There was no fake news on 223 00:15:33.840 --> 00:15:37.559 Sesame Street. You know, I did hear you know Big Bird. I 224 00:15:37.679 --> 00:15:39.679 think it was a rumor he had a sex change. That was about probably 225 00:15:39.720 --> 00:15:46.159 most egregious, probably fake lie I heard, don't know, still can't confirm 226 00:15:46.200 --> 00:15:50.600 it. That's the only thing we had to worry about my kids I had 227 00:15:50.639 --> 00:15:52.799 to worry about. Let's see, what was one of the first video games 228 00:15:52.879 --> 00:15:56.480 that my kids wanted. They want a Grand Theft Auto and they were they 229 00:15:56.519 --> 00:15:58.840 were they were probably eight, nine, ten years old, at least my 230 00:15:58.840 --> 00:16:02.720 old just one or two. That was you know, man, there was 231 00:16:03.639 --> 00:16:07.440 I think there was murders you can run over people, you know it was 232 00:16:07.519 --> 00:16:11.000 it was a car game based in Miami, I think or something there was. 233 00:16:11.480 --> 00:16:15.279 That was the controversial stuff back then. It was video games. Nowadays, 234 00:16:15.320 --> 00:16:21.559 absolutely, I understand why social media it's controversial. Nowadays, you can 235 00:16:21.600 --> 00:16:22.399 get your kids a phone, but you don't have to get him a cell 236 00:16:22.440 --> 00:16:30.000 phone plan. But guess what, Virtually everywhere we go there's Wi Fi airplanes, 237 00:16:30.080 --> 00:16:33.919 restaurants, airports, libraries, grocery stores. So it really doesn't matter. 238 00:16:33.960 --> 00:16:36.480 It's like, oh, well, you know, I'm just gonna get 239 00:16:36.480 --> 00:16:37.960 them a phone so they can play games. No, they're gonna be online. 240 00:16:38.000 --> 00:16:42.279 Man. I'm never gonna tell you what to do as a parent. 241 00:16:42.360 --> 00:16:45.080 I will suggest. I will tell you what I did as a parent, 242 00:16:45.120 --> 00:16:51.120 but it doesn't correlate because I don't have young kids right now. I do 243 00:16:51.240 --> 00:16:52.440 get asked, what's what's the proper age for a kid to have a cell 244 00:16:52.480 --> 00:16:57.360 phone? I don't know how much money you got. What's the kids grow 245 00:16:57.399 --> 00:17:03.039 up faster than my kids grew up right nowadays? Are you a parent who 246 00:17:03.159 --> 00:17:07.640 is hands on versus hands off? I don't know. I'm not gonna tell 247 00:17:07.640 --> 00:17:10.599 you how to punish your kids. I'm not gonna tell you how to raise 248 00:17:10.640 --> 00:17:12.279 your kids, although I would like to tell people how to raise some of 249 00:17:12.319 --> 00:17:18.319 their kids. Be nice, to be respectful as far as I can go. 250 00:17:19.119 --> 00:17:22.079 So if anyway, you got thoughts on that on parenting, as we 251 00:17:22.079 --> 00:17:23.359 talk about Dad's Day, I am here for you at seven one three, 252 00:17:23.519 --> 00:17:26.400 two, one two, five nine five. Hey give you something to do 253 00:17:26.480 --> 00:17:29.880 this weekend because it's very hot. Who wants to go see a movie? 254 00:17:29.920 --> 00:17:36.279 I saw a movie a premier that is starring and written and produced by a 255 00:17:36.440 --> 00:17:40.359 local Houston personality who's also, by the way, a doctor. You may 256 00:17:40.440 --> 00:17:41.319 know him, you may not love him. I'm gonna have a talk with 257 00:17:41.440 --> 00:17:44.680 him and we're gonna talk about the movie. How to get a movie like 258 00:17:44.720 --> 00:17:47.519 that written? And produced and the worse comes to worse. You can go 259 00:17:47.519 --> 00:17:49.519 see it a nice air conditioned theater.

So you know, the 265 00:18:15.160 --> 00:18:18.759 one place where I always had just hanging out in a movie theater. They're 266 00:18:18.799 --> 00:18:22.400 always cold, they're always chilly. You've got some good popcorn. There's a 267 00:18:22.440 --> 00:18:25.240 lot of thrilling things going on. I actually hung out of a movie theater 268 00:18:25.400 --> 00:18:29.920 not too long ago because I'm very honored that I get to go to a 269 00:18:30.000 --> 00:18:33.559 lot of screenings in uh, you know, kind of red carpet reveals before 270 00:18:34.119 --> 00:18:37.599 all you other people out there get to. But that's my job is to 271 00:18:37.880 --> 00:18:41.440 review him and have some fun. This one actually especially it was in Houston, 272 00:18:41.200 --> 00:18:48.039 and it what are the stars and the writers and the producers is a 273 00:18:48.079 --> 00:18:51.079 eustony And you probably know him, you've seen him, you love him because 274 00:18:51.359 --> 00:18:53.960 he has this new's got a business card. It's probably eighteen feet long. 275 00:18:55.039 --> 00:19:02.039 He does everything doctor Pavan Grover long time. It's just really a personality here 276 00:19:02.039 --> 00:19:03.880 and used it. I remember I was on Channel two kp or C about 277 00:19:03.880 --> 00:19:07.440 twenty years ago when I started my career and I see this dude pop it 278 00:19:07.519 --> 00:19:11.119 up and I'm I thought I had the greatest hair in Houston. I bring 279 00:19:11.200 --> 00:19:15.079 in my buddy POV. Between you and I, who's got better hair? 280 00:19:15.160 --> 00:19:21.039 We're going to you have the better hair. It's actually we're kind of twins 281 00:19:21.079 --> 00:19:22.200 a little bit, but you have the better hair. So I've got to 282 00:19:22.240 --> 00:19:25.519 give you. Give you that. I'll tell you what I think of that. 283 00:19:25.640 --> 00:19:27.200 Let me tell you a little fun story just where we're talking about here. 284 00:19:27.279 --> 00:19:30.960 So you know, I wrote the script, I produced it and edited 285 00:19:32.079 --> 00:19:33.799 did all that stuff. So there was a fight scene that I had with 286 00:19:33.960 --> 00:19:37.920 Jonathan Rice Myers. Right, it's very tricky one to have on a plane 287 00:19:37.920 --> 00:19:41.200 because there's all sharp right, So I wanted to do it, but the 288 00:19:41.720 --> 00:19:45.359 director and everything didn't want to, you know, have risk and injury. 289 00:19:45.480 --> 00:19:48.519 So they're trying to find a stunt guy to do the stunt. But they 290 00:19:48.559 --> 00:19:51.960 couldn't find one with my hair, so I ended up. I did that 291 00:19:52.079 --> 00:19:55.480 so you wouldn't have the same problem, because so it was. It was 292 00:19:55.599 --> 00:19:59.519 so I got to do the stunt because they couldn't find the stunt. Bro 293 00:20:00.079 --> 00:20:00.960 let me help you out. I know this is not your last movie. 294 00:20:02.000 --> 00:20:03.000 We'll talk about the movie here in the second. But I have a sag 295 00:20:03.240 --> 00:20:08.000 card. I am your stunt double next time. Okay, you got it. 296 00:20:08.559 --> 00:20:11.680 I'll be your stunt double. You know what. I like it. 297 00:20:11.720 --> 00:20:14.880 I like it because you know what I you actually are a real doctor. 298 00:20:15.079 --> 00:20:18.680 You are and I actually played a part on General Hospital about ten or eleven 299 00:20:18.799 --> 00:20:22.279 years ago, my claim to family. I can see that. So you 300 00:20:22.400 --> 00:20:25.720 got the whole doctor dreamy look going on. So I you know that I 301 00:20:25.799 --> 00:20:27.720 appreciate it. I was. I didn't play a doctor. I actually was 302 00:20:27.880 --> 00:20:32.079 killed within the third episode by James Franko. It's a long story. This 303 00:20:32.240 --> 00:20:34.359 is about you. Let's let's get back into it. You have been in 304 00:20:34.440 --> 00:20:37.599 this market a long time, originally from India. You're a you're a doctor 305 00:20:37.720 --> 00:20:40.920 by trade. Tell us what kind of doctor and how long you've been at 306 00:20:40.960 --> 00:20:45.519 doctor? What kanyar? So, I'm an interventional spine specialist. So I 307 00:20:45.759 --> 00:20:51.680 do people that have back pain, neck pain. We use minimally invasive type 308 00:20:51.720 --> 00:20:55.839 of strategy scopes and lasers and things like that to try to find out what 309 00:20:55.960 --> 00:20:57.640 the source of pain is and fix it. And I've been doing that for 310 00:20:57.759 --> 00:21:02.359 quite some time, gotcha. But that's one of the many things that you 311 00:21:02.480 --> 00:21:04.559 do. Because oh, by the way, as we now know, you're 312 00:21:04.559 --> 00:21:08.119 an actor, you're a superstar, you're all over IMDb, you're a writer, 313 00:21:08.240 --> 00:21:11.640 you're a producer. Talk about what in the world. Okay, you're 314 00:21:11.640 --> 00:21:15.400 a doctor got you into the entertainment business also kind of as as a side 315 00:21:15.440 --> 00:21:21.079 hustle. Well, you know, I was always like passionate about like film. 316 00:21:21.160 --> 00:21:23.079 You know, I grew up in India, right, and when I 317 00:21:23.119 --> 00:21:26.400 was sick, I came in when I was six. But so we grew 318 00:21:26.519 --> 00:21:30.160 up up in Bollywood on dancing around trees. If you ever seen any movie, 319 00:21:30.240 --> 00:21:32.279 yeah, so that's why I wanted to do it. Six. I 320 00:21:32.440 --> 00:21:34.559 went to my mom and said, listen, I wanted to dance around trees 321 00:21:34.640 --> 00:21:37.319 for a living, you know, in the rain and all that stuff. 322 00:21:37.359 --> 00:21:40.279 So she said, you know, being an Indian, mom held no, 323 00:21:40.799 --> 00:21:45.440 be a doctor first, right, and so human doctor but I actually for 324 00:21:45.599 --> 00:21:49.200 medicine. There's a big passion that I'm not trying to leave medicine. I 325 00:21:49.319 --> 00:21:53.880 love medicine because I've had I have a brother who passed away, so I've 326 00:21:53.920 --> 00:21:59.720 seen medicine from the other side, like what patients go through. So medicine 327 00:21:59.799 --> 00:22:03.240 is my number one passion. Films are a hobby. So instead of playing 328 00:22:03.279 --> 00:22:07.200 golf, you know, I make some films and so get I get to 329 00:22:07.319 --> 00:22:11.880 be really because I love my job, love taking care of patients, and 330 00:22:12.039 --> 00:22:15.079 I you know, film stuff as a hobby. So I'm actually very lucky. 331 00:22:15.119 --> 00:22:18.920 I get to do things that I'm very passionate about. You know. 332 00:22:19.000 --> 00:22:22.240 By the way, I just realized by listening to your story, which I 333 00:22:22.519 --> 00:22:26.440 love, and Indian mother is very similar to a Jewish mother. Because my 334 00:22:26.599 --> 00:22:30.839 mom wanted me to be a doctor. I ended up getting an entertainment so 335 00:22:30.880 --> 00:22:33.400 I did it the total reverse. And I'm sure your mom is probably a 336 00:22:33.440 --> 00:22:37.920 little bit more proud of you that she is of me. Doctor Pavon Groeber, 337 00:22:37.960 --> 00:22:41.160 we're speaking with here. You just came out with the movie and I 338 00:22:41.240 --> 00:22:45.079 saw it is called ninety seven Minutes. This is something that you wrote, 339 00:22:45.359 --> 00:22:49.279 you produce, you acted, in I'm very cures. I studied the industry. 340 00:22:49.319 --> 00:22:52.039 I'm in the entertainment industry. I liked I want to even get more 341 00:22:52.160 --> 00:22:55.960 into the internet. It's not easy to make the movie. It takes money, 342 00:22:56.039 --> 00:23:00.839 it takes it takes talent, it takes writing to write produce a movie 343 00:23:00.920 --> 00:23:02.960 like this. Where do you even start? How do you get your idea? 344 00:23:03.039 --> 00:23:06.759 Then what's the process between actually getting it done? So on this one, 345 00:23:07.039 --> 00:23:10.960 this, I've done a few films already, so I've gotten basically all 346 00:23:11.000 --> 00:23:14.480 my education, you know, produced. I wrote and produced a film with 347 00:23:14.559 --> 00:23:18.440 Dennis Hopper that we sold tam Jam So you know, all that was tremendous, 348 00:23:18.640 --> 00:23:22.720 great experience for this project. And so in this project, I was 349 00:23:22.799 --> 00:23:26.279 trying to create a film that could look like one hundred million dollars but be 350 00:23:26.480 --> 00:23:32.279 produced under ten. So we produced this for seven. So in the script 351 00:23:32.720 --> 00:23:37.599 we had I met actually we had William Hurt signed up originally, and then 352 00:23:37.079 --> 00:23:40.799 you know, I wrote it a little bit for Alec Baldwin and I ran 353 00:23:40.880 --> 00:23:45.319 into him at Sundance when I stole his dinner table, right there was a 354 00:23:45.400 --> 00:23:48.200 mix up in there and we got to know each other there. And so 355 00:23:48.400 --> 00:23:53.680 it is so difficult because we made this particular film during COVID, during you 356 00:23:53.759 --> 00:23:56.559 know, and we were supposed to shoot after Rust and then we had the 357 00:23:56.680 --> 00:24:00.599 huge tragedy with Alec. We were under a lot of pressure to replace them. 358 00:24:00.599 --> 00:24:04.440 But you don't replace people and leave them at their worst time. And 359 00:24:04.599 --> 00:24:08.839 so we shot the film in London and then I did something very interesting because 360 00:24:08.880 --> 00:24:11.880 I wanted to make this a thrill ride, so you know, and it 361 00:24:12.039 --> 00:24:18.319 had to be the editing, especially the sound effects. I wanted to trigger 362 00:24:18.440 --> 00:24:22.839 people's experience of being on a plane on turbuloin. So I actually hooked up 363 00:24:22.960 --> 00:24:26.839 test subjects to monitors, all the monitors I use in spine surgery, and 364 00:24:26.240 --> 00:24:32.720 I would test editsun till I got exactly the physiological response that I wanted. 365 00:24:32.839 --> 00:24:37.039 So I got to use all all sorts of kind of both my science and 366 00:24:37.200 --> 00:24:40.880 my creative to make the film. It was a lot of fun. You 367 00:24:40.920 --> 00:24:42.440 talk about sound effects, I love the special effects. I mean the plane. 368 00:24:42.599 --> 00:24:45.599 It takes place on a plane, ninety seven minutes of fuel left obviously 369 00:24:45.640 --> 00:24:48.519 to get it. I'm not going to go back and forth of the plot, 370 00:24:48.599 --> 00:24:51.640 twist on top of a plot, twist on top of a plot, 371 00:24:51.680 --> 00:24:55.000 twist, which is very very creative. But the effects of the plane, 372 00:24:55.200 --> 00:24:59.079 I mean the way it was shot, it was filmed into the clouds in 373 00:24:59.160 --> 00:25:03.039 the sky. It's it's very, very very impressive. You had a great 374 00:25:03.039 --> 00:25:06.160 team working on the top to bottom. We had a great team working on 375 00:25:06.279 --> 00:25:08.480 it, and like I said, you know, special effects obviously are very 376 00:25:08.559 --> 00:25:12.359 complicated. I think we had a really good special effects team, and we 377 00:25:12.480 --> 00:25:17.279 had different vendors, so we were to try and get all that work done, 378 00:25:17.599 --> 00:25:19.920 and it was challenging on a low budget to do that because you know, 379 00:25:21.119 --> 00:25:25.279 paying for Alec Baldwin and you're paying for Jonathan Rice Myers who's from the 380 00:25:25.359 --> 00:25:32.440 Tutors. And so I constructed the whole project to be shot like very efficiently 381 00:25:32.599 --> 00:25:37.480 because it's primarily two sets. We have the stuff on the airplane, right, 382 00:25:37.599 --> 00:25:41.640 which is a real set on a studio, and then we shot the 383 00:25:41.880 --> 00:25:45.279 NSA side on a green screen, a virtual green screen to use it. 384 00:25:45.200 --> 00:25:48.440 So a lot of that backgrounds you saw that was all digitally created and really 385 00:25:48.559 --> 00:25:52.799 kind of expanded that space. And then you put all that together. But 386 00:25:52.960 --> 00:25:56.839 you know, the way it's edited, the final edit, it's basically trying 387 00:25:56.920 --> 00:26:02.920 to recreate like what somebody would actually see on an airplane and then the sound 388 00:26:03.000 --> 00:26:07.640 effect everything was was was like supplied a lot of effort into it. But 389 00:26:08.319 --> 00:26:11.559 but that was the whole idea to take people on a thrill ride. I 390 00:26:11.640 --> 00:26:18.039 wanted to do it an air travel what Jaws did to go back. So 391 00:26:18.200 --> 00:26:21.240 probably I don't think we'll make the in flight entertainment on this one, but 392 00:26:21.559 --> 00:26:22.559 probably, but that's not the point. I don't know yet. It's a 393 00:26:22.559 --> 00:26:26.599 summer blockbuster, just like Jaws was. Doctor Bevan Grove for joining me here 394 00:26:26.640 --> 00:26:30.839 for a few more minutes. Describe ninety seven minutes, so people are figure 395 00:26:30.880 --> 00:26:33.400 out what to do, what to go watch, and then theaters obviously later 396 00:26:33.480 --> 00:26:34.559 this year. I believe it's coming out on Hulu. Give us, give 397 00:26:34.640 --> 00:26:37.480 us, give us the thirty second or so elevator pitch of what the movie 398 00:26:37.640 --> 00:26:42.559 is. So, the movie is about a seven sixty Flights seven sixty seven 399 00:26:42.599 --> 00:26:48.359 flight which has been taken over by terrorist and it's going to crash in ninety 400 00:26:48.359 --> 00:26:52.200 seven minutes when when the feudal runs out. Alec Baldwin is the head of 401 00:26:52.240 --> 00:26:57.440 the NSA on the ground and trying to bring the plane down basically shoot it 402 00:26:57.480 --> 00:27:00.079 out of the sky because at this point has become you know, like a 403 00:27:00.240 --> 00:27:07.559 like a missile and Johnathan Rice Myers plays an undercover agent on the airplane and 404 00:27:07.759 --> 00:27:12.920 so it's it's a race against time and it's it's a film that we've created 405 00:27:14.039 --> 00:27:18.960 to keep the constant tension. So it's a good summer popcorn type of flick. 406 00:27:18.319 --> 00:27:21.480 It is. It is is where if people want to see it. 407 00:27:21.599 --> 00:27:22.960 It was just I think it was just released. People want to see it 408 00:27:23.079 --> 00:27:26.400 is in theaters now here, at least in the Houston area. Yes, 409 00:27:26.680 --> 00:27:30.680 it released last week. Theatrically is at the Star Grail Cinema. I think 410 00:27:30.720 --> 00:27:33.759 this still will be there this weekend. It's released in the top ten markets 411 00:27:33.839 --> 00:27:41.400 across the country. It's also on demand that comes out on like Prime Video 412 00:27:41.720 --> 00:27:45.319 as a rental and everything. And then so it's available everywhere. iTunes, 413 00:27:45.359 --> 00:27:49.839 Apple and then it comes out and Dabis on Hulu in September, gotcha, 414 00:27:49.920 --> 00:27:52.400 And it's all that. It's actually, as we were doing a little research 415 00:27:52.440 --> 00:27:56.839 over here, a fun little fact, you probably can get this on the 416 00:27:56.920 --> 00:27:59.359 dark market somewhere like that. Can you give us to give it this interesting 417 00:27:59.400 --> 00:28:02.200 fact? I love it all right, but actually, so you know, 418 00:28:02.240 --> 00:28:06.039 we don't want encourage piracy, of course, of course. Really looking, 419 00:28:06.160 --> 00:28:11.160 there's a there's a list right of the top pirated movies worldwide, right, 420 00:28:11.279 --> 00:28:18.079 and so we're we're number three on the most pirated film world and we're we're 421 00:28:18.200 --> 00:28:22.680 under Transformers. You know, that's actually pretty cool because Transformers spent two hundred 422 00:28:22.720 --> 00:28:27.079 million dollars on this marketing. Our Disappear spent kind of zero. But you 423 00:28:27.160 --> 00:28:32.160 know, so it's just I find this a fun fact that we're worldwide, 424 00:28:32.319 --> 00:28:37.279 we're the most one of the most call it, you know, like the 425 00:28:37.759 --> 00:28:41.440 pirated film so to speak. So it's usually is usually an indicare of trends. 426 00:28:41.559 --> 00:28:47.039 So it's it's basically a real life kind of tracking of how people are, 427 00:28:47.160 --> 00:28:49.319 you know, sharing it, responding to it. So it's just a 428 00:28:49.359 --> 00:28:52.319 fun fact. I thought it was pretty cool. But you know, we 429 00:28:52.359 --> 00:28:56.960 don't want to encourage piracy. Of course, people do not pirate. These 430 00:28:56.000 --> 00:28:59.200 are actors, they're artists. They need to be paid. But that's a 431 00:28:59.240 --> 00:29:02.839 fun fact though. I like that. Uh pab listen. I want to 432 00:29:02.880 --> 00:29:06.559 congratulate to your success. It's so funny. I joke about your business card 433 00:29:06.640 --> 00:29:10.079 between doctor, writer, actor, producer, great hair, good guy. 434 00:29:10.279 --> 00:29:11.640 You're all around, and you know, right here in Houston, and so 435 00:29:11.920 --> 00:29:15.319 I want to, I just really can want to continue to follow your career. 436 00:29:15.400 --> 00:29:18.640 And I'm throwing out I'm offer you ever need a stunt double or a 437 00:29:18.680 --> 00:29:22.920 twin bro.

There's an everybody's built for a certain job. You 499 00:33:29.960 --> 00:33:34.160 have a want. I mean, I've always wanted to be a quarterback for 500 00:33:34.160 --> 00:33:37.440 the Dallas Cowboys. Let me help you out. That did not come to 501 00:33:37.559 --> 00:33:44.160 a fruition and will never come to fruition because I'm too old. But that's 502 00:33:44.200 --> 00:33:45.920 what I wanted to do. That was all I've gone gone kind of wanted 503 00:33:45.920 --> 00:33:49.839 to be an astronaut. Didn't work. I was too tall. It goes 504 00:33:49.880 --> 00:33:52.319 on or not. But if there's one or two things that I wanted to 505 00:33:52.480 --> 00:33:58.880 that I that I can do hands down without a doubt, that I'm confident 506 00:33:58.920 --> 00:34:04.759 of. It's a game show host. A people listen who've listened to me 507 00:34:04.799 --> 00:34:09.000 for twenty years. I'm peppy, I'm quick.

Have you been following what's happened 628 00:43:58.519 --> 00:44:02.239 to San Francisco Downtown San Francisco is like shutting down. They closed the biggest 629 00:44:02.280 --> 00:44:05.719 mall, Westfield Mall, which I love that mall. It's got the uh 630 00:44:05.920 --> 00:44:09.480 kind of the revolving escalators. They closed it. Homeless everywhere. That's why 631 00:44:09.480 --> 00:44:13.159 they're paying you so much because you have to move to freak in San Francisco. 632 00:44:13.960 --> 00:44:15.760 I don't want to get into politics. I think San Francisco is one 633 00:44:15.800 --> 00:44:20.199 of the most beautiful cities in this country. I love visiting there. Oh 634 00:44:20.280 --> 00:44:23.559 my gosh, I was there in March. Not doing not good in good 635 00:44:23.599 --> 00:44:27.159 pr right now. Maybe that's why they're paying so much. Anyway, kids, 636 00:44:27.480 --> 00:44:30.119 parents, if you're looking for a career to go into at least right 637 00:44:30.159 --> 00:44:37.239 now artificial intelligence. So I guess I guess AI is not taking over force. 638 00:44:37.440 --> 00:44:40.000 I think they're there. They are, it's actually creating more jobs. 639 00:44:42.039 --> 00:44:46.239 So tell me seven one three, two, one two five nine five though 640 00:44:46.360 --> 00:44:50.599 here at Kapier, see where is this? So where all your Apple people? 641 00:44:50.599 --> 00:44:52.000 I got I got something to show you here. Uh, let me 642 00:44:52.079 --> 00:45:00.119 find the iOS seventeen some of the new features. Hey, Michaels, should 643 00:45:00.159 --> 00:45:04.679 I uh should I upgrade to their new operating system? Well? Yeah, 644 00:45:04.840 --> 00:45:12.360 generally you should because that's kind of like there's a lot of things in there 645 00:45:13.320 --> 00:45:20.159 that you should be doing for, you know, upgrades. But some of 646 00:45:20.199 --> 00:45:23.599 the iOS features are are pretty good. And I'm not listen, I'm not 647 00:45:23.679 --> 00:45:29.800 an iOS guy, if you if you know me, I am Android guy, 648 00:45:30.320 --> 00:45:32.679 and I'm pretty happy with my androids right now. Not a plug, 649 00:45:32.719 --> 00:45:36.679 but I got a Samsung. Love me some Samsung sam sunging actually has some 650 00:45:36.719 --> 00:45:38.000 good Foh well, remind me next next step break, I'm gona tell you 651 00:45:38.000 --> 00:45:40.880 what Samsung is doing. You see, I could dig the innovations here. 652 00:45:40.960 --> 00:45:45.679 I really do dig the the the innovations that that Samsung, Apple and all 653 00:45:45.679 --> 00:45:50.079 these are the companies you're doing. But some of the new iOS features are 654 00:45:50.119 --> 00:45:52.960 pretty pretty cool, and I'll i'll tell you what they are. They are 655 00:45:52.079 --> 00:45:55.239 quite simply Number one. It's got something called Standby. If you turn your 656 00:45:55.280 --> 00:45:59.840 iPhone on its side, it kind of basically functions like a smart home to 657 00:46:00.000 --> 00:46:05.039 ice like the Amazon Echo show. That's pretty good, and it can function 658 00:46:05.119 --> 00:46:07.960 like an alarm clock soon. It's pretty cool. I got something called Keyboard 659 00:46:08.079 --> 00:46:13.719 Auto Correct. Apple said the feature, it's gonna work a lot better on 660 00:46:13.800 --> 00:46:15.760 iOS seventeen. So when the iPhone wants to make a correction, it's gonna 661 00:46:15.840 --> 00:46:20.239 highlight changes and it's gonna show the original word in a bubble. And if 662 00:46:20.239 --> 00:46:22.320 you want to quickly switch back. That's pretty cool. Got something coming called 663 00:46:22.400 --> 00:46:28.960 interactive widgets see right now.

And it's got photos and pets because there's a lot of 669 00:46:53.119 --> 00:46:57.800 facial recognition that apps can recognize. Okay, this kid, this person, 670 00:46:57.920 --> 00:47:00.119 they can categorize them. But if you got dogs and cats and other pets, 671 00:47:00.400 --> 00:47:04.000 uh, they're actually kind of part of the family too. There's an 672 00:47:04.039 --> 00:47:10.119 iOS seventeen update that's gonna better recognize pets and photos.

We got just over eleven hours 693 00:48:34.360 --> 00:48:37.480 giving you some ideas. I know what is not what you can't get Dad 694 00:48:37.559 --> 00:48:45.559 tomorrow is a Chick fil A because they're closed on Sundays. Respect I just 695 00:48:45.719 --> 00:48:50.639 I just don't eat on Sundays. By the way. Saw by the way, 696 00:48:50.679 --> 00:48:55.000 I saw Chick fil A was testing a new sandwich. I'm pretty tight 697 00:48:55.039 --> 00:48:59.800 with the Chick fil A folks here in the Houston area. I really am. 698 00:49:00.000 --> 00:49:04.840 And I know several of the owner operators, the marketing folks, and 699 00:49:04.920 --> 00:49:07.760 they're they're very very cool. I literally am on a first name basis and 700 00:49:07.800 --> 00:49:10.880 a text basis with one of the managers of one that is across the street 701 00:49:10.880 --> 00:49:15.199 from me. And I'm not kidding you, Matt. If you're listening, 702 00:49:15.360 --> 00:49:19.079 great, dude, everybody works at chick Flass. Great. This is not 703 00:49:19.079 --> 00:49:22.480 an endorsement. I'm just I saw this because they're not testing the sandwich here 704 00:49:22.519 --> 00:49:28.280 and Houston. It's at Indianapolis and Lexington, Kentucky. Chick Flass testing a 705 00:49:28.519 --> 00:49:35.239 maple pepper bacon sandwich. I'm gonna pass on that one. Not a bacon 706 00:49:35.320 --> 00:49:42.840 guy, maple pepper bake. I guess maple pepper bacon is a thing versus 707 00:49:42.920 --> 00:49:51.519 just bacon, grilled chicken, pepperback cheese, pepper jack cheese, let us 708 00:49:52.000 --> 00:49:57.599 sweet and sweet and spicy, pickle chips, bacon, hand tost and brown 709 00:49:57.639 --> 00:50:02.559 sugar and pepper. I'll pass on that one. No, just give me 710 00:50:02.599 --> 00:50:08.760 the give me salad, give me grilled chicken from vin Ventrous. I'm going 711 00:50:08.800 --> 00:50:12.960 with nuggets. It's making of fast food too. Here's another one. What's 712 00:50:13.039 --> 00:50:16.800 McDonald is mcdonalon We just send me that McDonald's is doing. McDonald's is upgrading 713 00:50:16.800 --> 00:50:22.480 its quarter pounder upgrades. This like the new coke or something. There's quarter 714 00:50:22.519 --> 00:50:29.000 pounder with cheese. H they're they're baking it. Hallapenias must be the thing. 715 00:50:29.360 --> 00:50:31.800 Quarter pounder with cheese now comes with pickled halopenia slices. I can dig 716 00:50:31.880 --> 00:50:37.280 that. I'm not eating. I'm not going to McDonald's the cheesy halopenia baking 717 00:50:37.360 --> 00:50:42.440 quarter pounder with cheese because this has bacon, which I'm also not eating and 718 00:50:42.559 --> 00:50:47.719 pickled halopena slices. Okay, last, I cannot tell you the last time 719 00:50:47.719 --> 00:50:52.880 i've the last time I stepped into a McDonald's. I'm not kidding you. 720 00:50:52.000 --> 00:50:59.400 I think the Hamburglar and the Grimace greeted me when they are actually still mascots. 721 00:51:00.239 --> 00:51:04.119 It's probably one of the reasons why my favorite colors Purple love the Grimace. 722 00:51:04.199 --> 00:51:07.719 Man, what is the Grimace? Can someone actually google left for me? 723 00:51:08.679 --> 00:51:14.280 The Grimace is like a blob. It's like sid Marty Croft. Man. 724 00:51:14.320 --> 00:51:17.199 I'm just I just dated myself with that reference came up with the Grimace. 725 00:51:17.239 --> 00:51:22.519 I have no clues. So there's your fast food update for right now 726 00:51:22.559 --> 00:51:24.599 if you really needed seven one three, two, one two five nine five. 727 00:51:24.840 --> 00:51:28.440 Oh here's another one. Now this isn't fast food. This is interesting. 728 00:51:28.519 --> 00:51:30.440 Here's technology kind of like that anybody watch Netflix, which, by the 729 00:51:30.519 --> 00:51:36.800 way, Netflix has added a lot of new subscriptions over the past month because 730 00:51:37.840 --> 00:51:44.840 Netflix has stopped where they've cut back on password sharing. If you've borrowed some 731 00:51:45.400 --> 00:51:50.679 somebody's password for Netflix and you haven't able to log in, it's because they've 732 00:51:50.719 --> 00:51:54.159 been cutting down people because they want you to pay up. Netflix has actually 733 00:51:54.159 --> 00:51:59.920 added a lot of people a lot of new subscriptions because of this. They 734 00:52:00.079 --> 00:52:06.239 are expanding. I am not making this up. Netflix is expanding beyond streaming 735 00:52:06.280 --> 00:52:13.519 and mobile gaming into the food service industry. They're opening a pop up restaurant. 736 00:52:15.360 --> 00:52:22.639 I can't believe this. It's called Netflix Bites. Is that a good 737 00:52:22.679 --> 00:52:28.440 name or not for a restaurant? Netflix Bites? Apparently? I don't watch 738 00:52:28.480 --> 00:52:32.280 this it but there's a depth. There's cooking series on Netflix, Chef's Table, 739 00:52:32.639 --> 00:52:38.639 Nailed It, Iron Chef, and they're gonna feature chefs from these Netflix 740 00:52:38.719 --> 00:52:45.360 TV shows. Okay, where's this? Where is this going to be? 741 00:52:45.519 --> 00:52:52.719 Is this in la I think no pricing yet? Yep. Oh yeah, 742 00:52:52.719 --> 00:52:57.599 it's gonna be in a hotel in La. Oh it's near the Grove. 743 00:52:58.519 --> 00:53:05.679 I love going to the Grove. Great outdoor shopping center. Here's my guest, 744 00:53:05.719 --> 00:53:07.559 what the menu is the menu is they're gonna base the menu on what 745 00:53:07.679 --> 00:53:16.199 you previously just ate. I see what I did there? Oh we here, 746 00:53:16.400 --> 00:53:22.880 we suggest these movies because you previously liked these movies. We suggest you 747 00:53:22.000 --> 00:53:28.000 like a double bacon cheeseburger because you previously had um, bacon and eggs for 748 00:53:28.280 --> 00:53:31.320 breakfast. That's that's that's it's it's brilliant. Actually, I'm not gonna be 749 00:53:31.559 --> 00:53:36.159 eating there. Uh here, oh here, here, here's a no one 750 00:53:36.239 --> 00:53:40.960 okay, talked about some technological innovations. Uh here, okay, fifteen Samsung 751 00:53:43.480 --> 00:53:45.280 got something going on. I think this is pretty cool. Sam Father's Day 752 00:53:45.320 --> 00:53:47.519 gifts they got the Samsung. By the way, I some Father's Day gifts. 753 00:53:47.519 --> 00:53:53.559 I saw this, uh TVs. Actually they're on sale, they're still 754 00:53:53.599 --> 00:53:57.480 going on.

That's nice. 756 00:54:04.159 --> 00:54:07.719 I need one of these TVs. It's called the frame when it when 757 00:54:07.719 --> 00:54:09.719 it's not on it looks like it's a picture frame. Sixty five inch The 758 00:54:09.760 --> 00:54:15.519 frame three hundred bucks off Samsung dot Com. I thought that was pretty cool 759 00:54:15.559 --> 00:54:20.239 too, but anyway, they got something. They got a new feature coming 760 00:54:20.280 --> 00:54:23.000 out on a watch. Smart watches are great and you guys have made your 761 00:54:23.000 --> 00:54:25.199 app. You may have an Apple Watch.

Love my Samsung Watch five. I 764 00:54:31.239 --> 00:54:35.920 can do it pretty much. I think the same thing Apple watches can do. 765 00:54:36.000 --> 00:54:37.679 I can talk on the phone, I can get my tax I can 766 00:54:37.719 --> 00:54:42.360 beat my email, I can see my heart rate.

Okay, Samsung, is Houston going to be one of these 774 00:55:21.760 --> 00:55:27.719 markets? And does it automatically update answers? I do not know? This 775 00:55:27.920 --> 00:55:32.519 is good? See this is where technology helps you. I just wish technology 776 00:55:32.559 --> 00:55:37.199 can figure out why I'm having balance issues right now with a Is it an 777 00:55:37.239 --> 00:55:43.000 inner ear thing? Or I have no clue?

Doctor Pavan Grover A 808 00:57:50.639 --> 00:57:53.920 long time is just really a personality here in Houston. I remember I was 809 00:57:54.000 --> 00:57:58.400 on Channel two KPORC about twenty years ago when I started my career and I 810 00:57:58.440 --> 00:58:00.400 see this dude pop it up and I'm I thought I had the greatest hair 811 00:58:00.440 --> 00:58:06.519 in Houston. I bring in my buddy POV. How between you and I, 812 00:58:07.119 --> 00:58:09.960 who's got better hair? We're we're going at you have the better hair. 813 00:58:10.280 --> 00:58:13.760 It's actually what kind of twins a little bit, but you have the 814 00:58:13.840 --> 00:58:15.280 better hair. So I've got to give you. Give you that. I'll 815 00:58:15.280 --> 00:58:17.840 tell you what I think about. Let me tell you a little fun story 816 00:58:17.920 --> 00:58:22.119 just where we're talking about hair. So you know, I wrote the script, 817 00:58:22.199 --> 00:58:24.280 I produced it, and edited, did all that stuff. So there 818 00:58:24.360 --> 00:58:28.519 was a fight scene that I had with Jonathan Rice Myers. Right, It's 819 00:58:28.639 --> 00:58:31.440 very tricky one to have on a plane because there's all sharp right, So 820 00:58:31.639 --> 00:58:35.800 I wanted to do it, but the director and everything didn't want to, 821 00:58:35.880 --> 00:58:37.719 you know, have risk and injury. So they're trying to find a stunt 822 00:58:37.760 --> 00:58:40.800 guy to do the stunt, but they couldn't find one with my hair. 823 00:58:42.360 --> 00:58:45.280 So I ended up I did that so you wouldn't have the same problem, 824 00:58:45.440 --> 00:58:49.360 because so it was it was so I got to do the stunt because they 825 00:58:49.400 --> 00:58:52.880 couldn't find the stunt brot. Let me help you out. I know this 826 00:58:52.039 --> 00:58:54.079 is not your last movie. We'll talk about the movie here to second. 827 00:58:54.159 --> 00:58:58.119 But I have a sag card. I am your stunt double next time. 828 00:58:58.159 --> 00:59:02.000 Okay, you got it. I'll be your stunt double. You know what. 829 00:59:02.119 --> 00:59:05.920 I like it and like because you know what I you actually are a 830 00:59:06.039 --> 00:59:10.000 real doctor. You are and I actually played a part on General Hospital about 831 00:59:10.039 --> 00:59:13.760 ten or eleven years ago. My claim to fame. I can see that. 832 00:59:13.880 --> 00:59:15.719 So you got the whole doctor dreamy look going on. So I you 833 00:59:15.760 --> 00:59:20.039 know that I appreciate it. I was I didn't play a doctor. I 834 00:59:20.079 --> 00:59:22.800 actually was killed within the third episode by James Franco. It's a long story. 835 00:59:22.880 --> 00:59:25.920 This is about you. Let's let's get back into it. You have 836 00:59:27.000 --> 00:59:30.039 been in this market a long time, originally from India. You're you're a 837 00:59:30.159 --> 00:59:31.639 doctor by trade. Tell us what kind of doctor and how long you've been 838 00:59:31.639 --> 00:59:37.199 at doctor? What? Kanyar? So, I'm an interventional spine specialist. 839 00:59:37.639 --> 00:59:42.639 So I do people that have back pain, night pain. We use minimally 840 00:59:42.679 --> 00:59:46.000 invasive type of strategy, scopes and lasers and things like that to try to 841 00:59:46.199 --> 00:59:49.679 find out what the source of pain is and fix it. And I've been 842 00:59:50.039 --> 00:59:52.719 doing that for quite some time, gotcha. But that's one of the many 843 00:59:52.760 --> 00:59:55.320 things that you do because oh, by the way, as we now know, 844 00:59:57.159 --> 00:59:59.880 you're an actor, you're a superstar, you're all over. I amdep 845 01:00:00.320 --> 01:00:04.280 you're a writer, you're producer. Talk about what in the world. Okay, 846 01:00:04.280 --> 01:00:07.639 you're a doctor got you into the entertainment business also kind of as a 847 01:00:07.719 --> 01:00:10.679 as a side hustle. Well, you know, I was always like passionate 848 01:00:10.760 --> 01:00:15.880 about like film. You know, I grew up in India right when I 849 01:00:15.920 --> 01:00:17.440 was sick, like Camory when I was six. But so we grew up 850 01:00:17.679 --> 01:00:22.880 in Bollywood on dancing around trees if you ever seen any movie, So that's 851 01:00:22.920 --> 01:00:24.199 why I wanted to do it. Six, I went to my mom and 852 01:00:24.280 --> 01:00:28.400 said, listen, I wanted to dance around trees for a living, you 853 01:00:28.480 --> 01:00:30.760 know, in the rain and all that stuff. So she said, you 854 01:00:30.800 --> 01:00:32.480 know, being an Indian, mom held no, be a doctor first, 855 01:00:32.920 --> 01:00:38.000 right and so human doctor. But I actually for medicine. There's a big 856 01:00:38.119 --> 01:00:43.360 passion that I'm not trying to leave medicine. I love medicine because I've had 857 01:00:43.760 --> 01:00:47.360 I have a brother who passed away. So I've seen medicine from the other 858 01:00:47.480 --> 01:00:52.000 side, like what patients go through. So medicine is my number one passion. 859 01:00:53.199 --> 01:00:55.599 Films are a hobby, so instead of playing golf, you know, 860 01:00:55.719 --> 01:01:01.079 I make some films and so I get I get to be really because I 861 01:01:01.199 --> 01:01:06.159 love my job, love taking care of patients, and I know film stuff 862 01:01:06.199 --> 01:01:08.320 as a hobby. So I'm actually very lucky. I get to do things 863 01:01:08.400 --> 01:01:12.280 that I'm very passionate about. You know, by the way, I just 864 01:01:12.400 --> 01:01:15.079 realized by listening to your story, which I love, and Indian mother is 865 01:01:15.280 --> 01:01:20.360 very similar to a Jewish mother. Because my mom wanted me to be a 866 01:01:20.480 --> 01:01:23.920 doctor, I ended up getting an entertainment so I did it the total reverse. 867 01:01:23.960 --> 01:01:27.400 And I'm sure your mom is probably a little bit more proud of you 868 01:01:27.519 --> 01:01:30.639 that she is of me. Doctor Pavone Grober, we're speaking with here. 869 01:01:30.199 --> 01:01:34.880 You just came out with a movie and I saw it is called ninety seven 870 01:01:35.000 --> 01:01:37.719 Minutes. This is something that you wrote, you produce, you acted in. 871 01:01:38.760 --> 01:01:43.400 I'm very cures. I studied the industry. I'm in the entertainment industry. 872 01:01:43.400 --> 01:01:45.599 I liked. I want to even get more into the internet. It 873 01:01:45.719 --> 01:01:47.280 is not easy to make the movie. It takes money, it takes it 874 01:01:47.360 --> 01:01:52.880 takes talent, it takes writing. To write and produce a movie like this, 875 01:01:52.039 --> 01:01:53.920 Where do you even start? How do you get your idea? Then 876 01:01:53.960 --> 01:01:58.880 what's the process between actually getting it done? So on this one, this 877 01:01:59.159 --> 01:02:02.519 I've done a few feel was already, so I've gotten basically all my education, 878 01:02:02.880 --> 01:02:07.000 you know, produced. I wrote and produced a film with Dennis Hopper 879 01:02:07.760 --> 01:02:10.239 that we sold tam Jam, so you know, all that was tremendous, 880 01:02:10.440 --> 01:02:14.840 great experience for this project. And so in this project, I was trying 881 01:02:14.880 --> 01:02:19.679 to create a film that could look like one hundred million dollars but be produced 882 01:02:19.760 --> 01:02:23.079 under ten. So we produced this for seven. So in the script, 883 01:02:23.519 --> 01:02:29.400 we had I met actually we had William Hurt signed up originally, and then 884 01:02:29.880 --> 01:02:31.639 you know, I wrote it a little bit for Alec Baldwin and I ran 885 01:02:31.719 --> 01:02:37.119 into him at Sundance when I stole his dinner table, right there was a 886 01:02:37.239 --> 01:02:39.800 mix up in there, and we got to know each other there. And 887 01:02:39.960 --> 01:02:45.079 so it is so difficult because we made this particular film during COVID, during 888 01:02:45.440 --> 01:02:49.320 you know, and we were supposed to shoot after Rust and then we had 889 01:02:49.360 --> 01:02:52.199 the huge tragedy with Alec. We were under a lot of pressure to replace 890 01:02:52.280 --> 01:02:57.159 him. But you don't replace people and leave them at their worst time. 891 01:02:57.199 --> 01:03:00.400 And so we shot the film in London and then I did something very interesting 892 01:03:00.440 --> 01:03:04.360 because I wanted to make this a thrill ride, so you know, and 893 01:03:04.639 --> 01:03:08.639 it had to be the editing, especially the sound effects. I wanted to 894 01:03:08.760 --> 01:03:14.480 trigger people's experience of being on a plane on turbuloin. So I actually hooked 895 01:03:14.519 --> 01:03:17.559 up test subjects to monitors, all the monitors I use in spine surgery, 896 01:03:17.639 --> 01:03:23.559 and I would test editsun till I got exactly the physiological response that I wanted. 897 01:03:23.639 --> 01:03:28.719 So I got to use all all sorts of kind of both my science 898 01:03:28.800 --> 01:03:31.239 and my creative to make the film. It was a lot of fun. 899 01:03:31.639 --> 01:03:34.960 You talk about sound effects, I love the special effects. I mean the 900 01:03:35.000 --> 01:03:37.039 plane take It takes place on a plane, ninety seven minutes of fuel left 901 01:03:37.079 --> 01:03:39.639 obviously to get it. I'm not going to go back and forth of the 902 01:03:40.079 --> 01:03:43.719 plot twist on top of a plot twist on top of a plot twist, 903 01:03:43.760 --> 01:03:46.199 which is very very creative. But the effects of the plane, I mean 904 01:03:46.239 --> 01:03:50.760 the way it was shot. You know, it was filmed into the clouds 905 01:03:50.840 --> 01:03:53.199 in the sky, I mean it's it's very very very impressive. I mean, 906 01:03:53.360 --> 01:03:57.039 you had a great team working on top to bottom. We had a 907 01:03:57.119 --> 01:03:59.719 great team working on it, and like I said, you know, special 908 01:03:59.760 --> 01:04:02.800 effects obviously are very complicated. I think we had a really good special effects 909 01:04:02.920 --> 01:04:06.760 team, and we had different vendors, so we were to try and get 910 01:04:06.800 --> 01:04:11.679 all that work done, and it was challenging on a low budget to do 911 01:04:11.800 --> 01:04:15.760 that because you know, paying for Alec Baldwin and you're paying for Jonathan Rice 912 01:04:15.840 --> 01:04:21.280 Myers who's from the Tutors. And so I constructed the whole project to be 913 01:04:21.400 --> 01:04:28.320 shot like very efficiently because it's primarily two sets. We have the stuff on 914 01:04:28.360 --> 01:04:31.639 the airplane, right, which is a real set on a studio, and 915 01:04:31.719 --> 01:04:35.400 then we shot the NSA side on a green screen, a virtual green screen 916 01:04:35.719 --> 01:04:39.880 to use it. So a lot of that backgrounds you saw that was all 917 01:04:39.960 --> 01:04:43.920 digitally created and really kind of expanded that space. And then you put all 918 01:04:44.000 --> 01:04:47.880 that together. But you know the way it's edited the final edit, it's 919 01:04:47.960 --> 01:04:54.119 basically trying to recreate like what somebody would actually see on an airplane. And 920 01:04:54.199 --> 01:04:59.519 then the sound effect everything was was was like supplied, but a lot of 921 01:04:59.559 --> 01:05:02.480 effort into it but but that was the whole idea to take people on a 922 01:05:02.719 --> 01:05:05.639 thrill ride. I wanted to do to air travel what Jaws did too, 923 01:05:06.800 --> 01:05:12.400 to go back. So probably I don't think we'll make the in flight entertainment 924 01:05:12.480 --> 01:05:14.719 on this one, but probably, but that's not the point. I don't 925 01:05:14.760 --> 01:05:16.480 know yet. It's a summer blockbuster, just like Jaws was. Doctor Bevan 926 01:05:16.559 --> 01:05:20.599 Grove joining me here for a few more minutes, describe ninety seven minutes, 927 01:05:20.639 --> 01:05:23.840 so people are going to figure out what to do, what to go watch, 928 01:05:23.920 --> 01:05:26.280 and then theaters obviously later this year. I believe it's coming out on 929 01:05:26.400 --> 01:05:28.639 Hulu. Give Us, Give us, give us the thirty second or so 930 01:05:28.800 --> 01:05:32.320 elevator pitch of what the movie is. So the movie is about a seven 931 01:05:32.519 --> 01:05:38.800 sixty Flights seven sixty seven flight which has been taken over by terrorist and it's 932 01:05:38.840 --> 01:05:43.559 going to crash in ninety seven minutes when when the fuel runs out. Alec 933 01:05:43.639 --> 01:05:46.920 Baldwin is the head of the NSA on the ground and trying to bring the 934 01:05:47.000 --> 01:05:51.239 plane down basically shoot it out of the sky because at this point it's become 935 01:05:51.400 --> 01:05:56.519 you know, like a like a missile. And Jonathan Wright Ryce Myers plays 936 01:05:56.559 --> 01:06:01.360 an undercover agent on the airplane, and so it it's a race against time 937 01:06:01.679 --> 01:06:06.760 and it's it's a film that we've created to keep the constant tension. So 938 01:06:06.920 --> 01:06:11.960 it's a good summer popcorn type of flick. It is, it is is 939 01:06:12.159 --> 01:06:14.679 where people want to see it. It was just I think it was just 940 01:06:14.800 --> 01:06:15.719 released. People want to see it. Is in theaters now here, at 941 01:06:15.760 --> 01:06:19.599 least in the Houston area. Yes, it released last week theatrically is at 942 01:06:19.639 --> 01:06:24.000 the Star Grail Cinema. I think this still will be there this weekend. 943 01:06:24.880 --> 01:06:29.760 It's released in the top ten markets across the country. It's also on demand 944 01:06:30.039 --> 01:06:33.960 that comes out on like Prime Video as a rental and everything. And then 945 01:06:34.400 --> 01:06:39.840 so it's available everywhere iTunes, Apple, and then it comes out and David's 946 01:06:40.199 --> 01:06:43.800 on Hulu in September, gotcha. And it's all that. It's actually, 947 01:06:44.119 --> 01:06:45.920 as we were doing a little research over here, a fun little fact. 948 01:06:46.599 --> 01:06:49.199 You probably can get this on the dark market somewhere like that. You give 949 01:06:49.280 --> 01:06:51.840 us, give it this interesting fact. I love this all right, And 950 01:06:53.000 --> 01:06:55.760 actually, so you know, we don't want to encourage piracy. Of course, 951 01:06:55.960 --> 01:07:01.199 of course, looking at there's a there's at right of the top pirated 952 01:07:01.320 --> 01:07:08.440 movies worldwide, right and so we're we're number three on the most pirated film 953 01:07:08.920 --> 01:07:13.199 well and we're we're under Transformers. You know, that's actually pretty cool because 954 01:07:13.280 --> 01:07:17.480 Transformers spent two hundred million dollars on this marketing. Our Disappear spent kind of 955 01:07:17.559 --> 01:07:21.079 zero. But you know, so it's just I find this a fun fact 956 01:07:21.199 --> 01:07:27.400 that we're worldwide, we're the most one of the most call it, you 957 01:07:27.480 --> 01:07:32.000 know, like the pirated film so to speak. So it's usually is usually 958 01:07:32.000 --> 01:07:36.719 an indicare of trends. So it's it's basically a real life kind of tracking 959 01:07:36.840 --> 01:07:40.639 of how people are, you know, sharing it, responding to it. 960 01:07:41.280 --> 01:07:43.599 So it's just a fun fact that I thought it was pretty cool. But 961 01:07:43.719 --> 01:07:46.559 you know, we don't want to encourage piracy. Of course, people do 962 01:07:46.679 --> 01:07:49.559 not pirate. These are actors, they're artists. They need to be paid. 963 01:07:49.599 --> 01:07:54.199 But that's a fun fact though. I like that. Uh pab listen. 964 01:07:54.320 --> 01:07:57.519 I want to congratulate to your success. It's so funny. I joke 965 01:07:57.519 --> 01:08:00.199 about your business card between doctor, writer, actor, do some great hair, 966 01:08:00.440 --> 01:08:03.199 good guy.

That was fun. We just react 988 01:09:21.439 --> 01:09:26.760 a conversation we had with him. This portion of the show brought to you 989 01:09:26.840 --> 01:09:30.960 by Universal Plumbing Supply. The only time I think we can legally, because 990 01:09:30.000 --> 01:09:32.600 you know, we're monitory here about the FCC, what we can I can't 991 01:09:32.640 --> 01:09:36.880 say. I'm allowed to say the word ballcock here. Probably the only term 992 01:09:36.960 --> 01:09:42.319 in context I can use the word ballcock is when I'm talking about toilets and 993 01:09:42.560 --> 01:09:46.359 Universal Plumbing Supply.

They are not 998 01:10:01.800 --> 01:10:04.239 going to fix it for you. They're not plumbers per se, hence the 999 01:10:04.359 --> 01:10:09.439 name Plumbing Supply. But they are so good.

I'm gonna do it yourself, or when 1005 01:10:30.159 --> 01:10:33.720 I can. I had a sink issue and I had to have some I 1006 01:10:33.840 --> 01:10:38.079 had to have some help with my sink this past week, but it's fixed. 1007 01:10:38.720 --> 01:10:41.399 But when it comes to things like like toilets, I've actually put my 1008 01:10:41.479 --> 01:10:47.760 own disposal garbage disposal. I replaced that myself. I can kind of do 1009 01:10:47.840 --> 01:10:50.560 it. I can not as good as my dad, which, by the 1010 01:10:50.600 --> 01:10:55.159 way, Happy Father's Day. You can do pretty much everything. Larry Garfield, 1011 01:10:55.199 --> 01:10:57.800 he's up in Big d listening right now in iHeartRadio, and Happy Father's 1012 01:10:57.840 --> 01:11:00.720 Day again to all the daddy os out there, And so I really do 1013 01:11:00.840 --> 01:11:03.359 hope you have a very nice day. Been giving you some ideas of what 1014 01:11:03.479 --> 01:11:08.840 to get dad, what to get yourself for the Father's Day, which is 1015 01:11:08.920 --> 01:11:12.920 tomorrow, and so next week I'll talk about where to return the gifts that 1016 01:11:13.039 --> 01:11:17.119 you didn't want from Father's Day, which is always a very fun conversation. 1017 01:11:17.399 --> 01:11:21.319 I like having here, Callum. You're not a dad, but you can 1018 01:11:21.840 --> 01:11:25.640 know I've met your dad, Callum, Callum read here behind the controls. 1019 01:11:25.880 --> 01:11:28.399 I met your dad. What was it about? Two years ago? Three 1020 01:11:28.439 --> 01:11:30.760 years ago? He was in town and I gave I gave you a bottle 1021 01:11:30.760 --> 01:11:32.680 of bourbon? Didn't your dad drink the whole bottle of bourbon? Was at 1022 01:11:32.720 --> 01:11:39.079 the story? Good because dads deserve it. Dads deserve bourbon. Dad just 1023 01:11:39.239 --> 01:11:46.000 Dad's deserves gifts. They absolutely do, they really do. Yeah, Dad's 1024 01:11:46.079 --> 01:11:50.399 deserve beard too. Who's drinking a coldie right now? Who's drinking about? 1025 01:11:50.840 --> 01:11:56.479 I am so not the political guy. I'm not getting into this. Nope. 1026 01:11:57.239 --> 01:12:00.760 But who's drinking a bud Light? Right now? Who's drinking a bud 1027 01:12:00.880 --> 01:12:09.079 Light? I got a stat for you, blood Light two decades pretty much 1028 01:12:09.119 --> 01:12:12.520 as long as I have been doing the High Tech Texan Show. For the 1029 01:12:12.600 --> 01:12:17.359 first time in over two decades, two decades, bud Light is no longer 1030 01:12:18.239 --> 01:12:24.119 the top selling beer in the US. Listen, it had years of decline, 1031 01:12:24.920 --> 01:12:28.359 and then it had this month long boycott that further crushed the sales. 1032 01:12:28.560 --> 01:12:34.880 Bud Light. Ladies and Gentlemen falls to number two. Any idea the number 1033 01:12:34.960 --> 01:12:40.239 one selling beer right now in the United States. There's a shift in the 1034 01:12:40.399 --> 01:12:47.359 Bruskie hierarchy. It's been years in the making. Here is a hint American 1035 01:12:47.439 --> 01:12:51.079 drinkers. Over the past few years, they've been getting thirstier from Mexican import 1036 01:12:51.319 --> 01:12:59.079 beers along with a few of the things. Ladies and Gentlemen up one spot 1037 01:13:00.239 --> 01:13:05.399 to the number one best selling beer in the United States. Drum roll, 1038 01:13:05.439 --> 01:13:16.479 please Modelo Especial tie up. This is just a public service. Medella Special 1039 01:13:16.600 --> 01:13:23.760 does not sponsor the show. However, Silver Eagle Big distributor here. Feel 1040 01:13:23.800 --> 01:13:27.560 free to call the radio station if you're interested in I like Medela I actually 1041 01:13:27.560 --> 01:13:30.199 I like Negro Madelo even better. That's the darker version of it. Madella 1042 01:13:30.239 --> 01:13:36.319 Special the number one selling beer. Pretty good. Oh, by the way, 1043 01:13:36.399 --> 01:13:42.920 for the people who boycott everything from Anna Heiser Busch because you don't like 1044 01:13:43.560 --> 01:13:46.720 the politics were marketing of bud Light, hate to break the news to you, 1045 01:13:46.880 --> 01:13:50.479 man, But Annaheiser Busch or in Bev, which is the name of 1046 01:13:50.560 --> 01:14:00.039 the company it actually owns, Grupo Modelo, the Mexican brewery it makes medello. 1047 01:14:01.159 --> 01:14:04.279 They actually own it everywhere except in the United States, but they own 1048 01:14:04.319 --> 01:14:08.960 it too. Oh well, just say that for a little public service announcement. 1049 01:14:08.960 --> 01:14:11.000 Wherever you are, I hope you're drinking in nice COLDI and having a 1050 01:14:11.039 --> 01:14:14.000 good time and getting ready to kick your feet up in the air conditioning and 1051 01:14:14.319 --> 01:14:18.520 watch the us A US open. I already give out the phone numbers for 1052 01:14:18.600 --> 01:14:21.079 the really for the last time I've got. I got about about two or 1053 01:14:21.119 --> 01:14:24.720 three more minutes. People want to know what I've have been test driving this 1054 01:14:24.800 --> 01:14:29.119 week. Ah, I had the Mercedes Benz g L four fifty. I 1055 01:14:29.279 --> 01:14:32.039 test drive cars do not get paid, Nope, it's just me and the 1056 01:14:32.079 --> 01:14:35.439 content people. I'd liked it. It's a relatively small suv. It's not 1057 01:14:35.479 --> 01:14:39.640 the cheapest thing in the world. Handles great. One thing I do not 1058 01:14:39.760 --> 01:14:43.600 like about the Mercedes bins. A lot of Mercedes Bins they still have a 1059 01:14:43.720 --> 01:14:50.199 track pad were the driver where you put your right arm and right down below 1060 01:14:50.560 --> 01:14:54.560 there's they have knobs and they have a touchscreen, but there's a track pad. 1061 01:14:54.720 --> 01:14:59.039 I think track pads are very dangerous when you're driving because generally you have 1062 01:14:59.199 --> 01:15:03.760 to take your eyes off the road to move the little mouse, even though 1063 01:15:03.760 --> 01:15:08.680 it's not a mouse. The track pad. Track pads are great on laptops 1064 01:15:09.319 --> 01:15:11.359 because you could just take your eye off the screen, up the screen. 1065 01:15:11.960 --> 01:15:15.760 Lexus for a long time had track pads. The most recent Lexus is i've 1066 01:15:15.159 --> 01:15:18.079 been driving, they have removed the track pads. Mercedes still has it. 1067 01:15:18.159 --> 01:15:21.199 Listen, if that's the biggest complaint I have, suck it up, go 1068 01:15:21.319 --> 01:15:26.359 test drive, go buy yourself from Mercedes. This next week, I'm gonna 1069 01:15:26.399 --> 01:15:30.439 get the Dodge Hornet kind of a smaller car, kind of a version of 1070 01:15:30.800 --> 01:15:34.279 Dodges Well Alpha Romeo, which is part of the Dodge family. So I'm 1071 01:15:34.319 --> 01:15:38.760 in just a it's it's a less expensive version of the Alpha Romato. So 1072 01:15:38.880 --> 01:15:42.079 I will give you my thoughts on that next week. So which I really 1073 01:15:42.159 --> 01:15:45.039 do appreciate all this manufacturers just letting me drive and letting me tell you the 1074 01:15:45.119 --> 01:15:49.600 good, the bad, and the ugly of that stuff. Oh one more 1075 01:15:49.680 --> 01:15:53.000 thing, in case my uncle is listening, Uncle Al, the kiddy's pal. 1076 01:15:53.239 --> 01:15:55.720 He's here in Houston. Happy Father's Day. And Uncle Al, he's 1077 01:15:55.760 --> 01:16:00.199 got three kids, my cousins. He is a big Beatles fan. Beatles. 1078 01:16:00.239 --> 01:16:03.840 I had to google the Beatles, that was the band that Paul McCartney 1079 01:16:03.960 --> 01:16:10.079 was in before Wings and to look at that thing. But Paul McCartney said 1080 01:16:10.119 --> 01:16:17.079 that artificial intelligence helped them use a demo recording of John Lennon singing an unpublished 1081 01:16:17.119 --> 01:16:29.159 song to create a new track from the Beatles that will drop as the kids 1082 01:16:29.199 --> 01:16:34.640 say later this year. Sir Paul did not reveal the name of the song. 1083 01:16:36.359 --> 01:16:42.560 But this is what AI. That's how AI brought John Lennon's voice back 1084 01:16:42.600 --> 01:16:47.000 to live. AI was trained to recognize in this specific case, John Lennon's 1085 01:16:47.079 --> 01:16:50.199 voice on a track, used it to separate it from the background noise and 1086 01:16:50.239 --> 01:16:56.399 instruments. Man, it's a freaky baby. I'll let you think this between 1087 01:16:56.439 --> 01:17:00.439 the now and the next week or so. If somebody pick a favorite artist 1088 01:17:00.479 --> 01:17:04.119 who was no longer with us, would you like to hear new tracks from 1089 01:17:04.119 --> 01:17:09.920 that artist? Would you? Is that weird? Man? Listen? I 1090 01:17:10.000 --> 01:17:14.880 mean, I'm I'm a Michael Jackson fan always my faith. I mean that 1091 01:17:15.039 --> 01:17:16.159 was my that was my jam back in the eighties. That was it, 1092 01:17:18.319 --> 01:17:21.840 you know, hearing some hot new tunes from Michael Jackson. Man. That's 1093 01:17:24.079 --> 01:17:27.600 that's weird. I know one or two we were released after he passed, 1094 01:17:28.920 --> 01:17:31.359 but I don't that's gonna be a tough market to sell. But this may 1095 01:17:31.439 --> 01:17:34.119 be the paradigm shift of what we're gonna get used to folks. This is 1096 01:17:34.159 --> 01:17:40.079 why I do this show, consumer lifestyle Technology, and I give you something 1097 01:17:40.119 --> 01:17:43.159 to think about. That's what I do. I want you to think about. 1098 01:17:43.199 --> 01:17:45.760 Having a great Father's Day, keep hydrated, and have a wonderful, 1099 01:17:45.760 --> 01:17:49.479 wonderful week. Calum Reid, Brian Ericson, Mark Sherman, Eddie Martiny, 1100 01:17:49.560 --> 01:17:53.000 Happy Father's Day to you all. These are the bosses. These are the 1101 01:17:53.000 --> 01:17:58.079 guys who was sitting down in the carpeted offices here of the IRT Media Houston 1102 01:17:58.199 --> 01:18:00.079 location where I am based. Thank you for continue to tune in for two 1103 01:18:00.159 --> 01:18:04.880 plus decades. My name is Michael, and right now my show is over.
