WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.040 --> 00:00:02.040 I'm gonna I'm gonna share a version of this story 2 00:00:02.040 --> 00:00:05.080 because I just I started laughing, just started laughing when 3 00:00:05.120 --> 00:00:08.880 it was said to me, so good morning. And I 4 00:00:08.919 --> 00:00:11.279 guess if you listen to the show, you probably realize 5 00:00:11.359 --> 00:00:16.920 that next week I am, I'm headed to Ashville and 6 00:00:17.440 --> 00:00:19.879 we're gonna be Now we're broadcasting on Ashville because we 7 00:00:19.920 --> 00:00:23.679 have an iHeart location in Ashville, so it's not just 8 00:00:23.760 --> 00:00:27.920 about Ashville, but it's about western North Carolina. And I 9 00:00:27.960 --> 00:00:32.960 got this idea months ago where I said, you know what, 10 00:00:33.880 --> 00:00:36.920 I'm talking to friends of mine, I'm talking to listeners, 11 00:00:37.000 --> 00:00:40.439 I'm talking to different people, and one of their driving 12 00:00:40.520 --> 00:00:44.640 concerns is they every year as a family, this time 13 00:00:44.679 --> 00:00:47.439 of the year, right between Memorial Day and Labor Day, 14 00:00:47.479 --> 00:00:53.640 which is official to a North Carolina vacation season, they 15 00:00:53.679 --> 00:00:55.759 you know, they do a mountain trip, they go to 16 00:00:55.799 --> 00:00:58.640 Banner Elk, or they go to Ashville, or they go 17 00:00:58.759 --> 00:01:04.879 to a want to Noah or Grandfather or Sparta or 18 00:01:04.959 --> 00:01:09.719 ash County or whatever it is. Right and following what 19 00:01:09.879 --> 00:01:15.959 happened with Hurricane, you know, Hurricane Helen, are we going 20 00:01:16.040 --> 00:01:19.000 to be able to do that this year? And that's 21 00:01:19.040 --> 00:01:22.640 a debt. Look that's a death nail for people trying 22 00:01:22.640 --> 00:01:25.040 to get back on their feet out there, whatever it is. 23 00:01:25.959 --> 00:01:29.519 And so I said, I told our management. I said, 24 00:01:29.640 --> 00:01:34.079 I'm going to go to Western North Carolina and I'm 25 00:01:34.079 --> 00:01:38.879 going to broadcast a whole week out there. Right. That was? 26 00:01:39.359 --> 00:01:43.640 That was It's literally my idea, right not. I don't 27 00:01:43.680 --> 00:01:45.560 mean that in a smug way, but I just mean that, 28 00:01:45.719 --> 00:01:50.000 like nobody within management knew that that was the thing 29 00:01:50.040 --> 00:01:53.120 that I wanted to do. And they tend to let 30 00:01:53.239 --> 00:01:55.760 Ross and I do most of the things that we 31 00:01:55.799 --> 00:01:58.239 want to do because we do a good job for them, 32 00:01:58.439 --> 00:02:01.319 and we'll leave it at that. So I'm setting all 33 00:02:01.319 --> 00:02:06.159 this up. I'm getting it all ready, and on Saturday, 34 00:02:07.000 --> 00:02:11.360 I have to go to iHeart Charlotte, right our our 35 00:02:11.479 --> 00:02:15.879 radio cluster there, and then I am off to Asheville, 36 00:02:16.039 --> 00:02:17.879 just because I got to pick up equipment and stuff 37 00:02:17.919 --> 00:02:19.639 for the broadcast. But you don't need to know that, 38 00:02:19.719 --> 00:02:26.199 all right. So I'm talking to somebody in Ashville yesterday 39 00:02:26.879 --> 00:02:29.879 and I'm like, yeah, so i'll be up Saturday or 40 00:02:29.919 --> 00:02:31.680 I'm gonna I'm gonna have dinner with some folks that 41 00:02:31.719 --> 00:02:35.639 I know up there, and I'll be up Saturday. And 42 00:02:35.800 --> 00:02:40.479 this is literally literally the statement that said, as you know, 43 00:02:40.800 --> 00:02:47.080 my concern on Saturday is Randy Wayingarten's group. Yes, the 44 00:02:47.159 --> 00:02:51.919 Teachers' Union lady has organized something called the No King, 45 00:02:52.960 --> 00:02:57.479 No Kings something stupid whatever, right, And it's just that 46 00:02:57.680 --> 00:03:02.199 I hate Trump rally and they're doing it like all 47 00:03:02.240 --> 00:03:05.400 across the US a bunch of different cities. Now I 48 00:03:05.439 --> 00:03:07.199 don't know what the turnout's going to be. I saw 49 00:03:07.280 --> 00:03:11.719 some rallies yesterday where like five people showed up looking 50 00:03:11.759 --> 00:03:15.719 at you downtown Raleigh, and so I don't know, but 51 00:03:15.960 --> 00:03:21.000 like the thing that makes me go is that Charlotte 52 00:03:21.080 --> 00:03:25.400 and Ashville and Raleigh and you know, the Triad are 53 00:03:25.479 --> 00:03:27.919 all on this list. And the last thing that I 54 00:03:27.960 --> 00:03:29.879 want to deal with when I'm just trying to get 55 00:03:29.879 --> 00:03:36.479 to Ashville on Saturday is moonbats. Like I don't want 56 00:03:36.479 --> 00:03:39.639 to deal with your crap. And so it was kind 57 00:03:39.639 --> 00:03:43.199 of left unsaid. And somebody said to me yesterday and 58 00:03:43.360 --> 00:03:50.439 I had to I had to not start laughing, was oh, yeah, 59 00:03:50.479 --> 00:03:52.960 so when you come into town, just so you know, 60 00:03:53.560 --> 00:03:57.960 they're having like a party downtown or something. So at 61 00:03:58.000 --> 00:04:00.159 the hotel I'm staying at, which is the Hey at 62 00:04:00.159 --> 00:04:03.199 Parks it's a very nice hotel right downtown. Uh, and 63 00:04:03.400 --> 00:04:06.520 there there are sponsor for this uh, this event just 64 00:04:06.560 --> 00:04:10.120 full disclosure. There is like right downtown. It's you know 65 00:04:10.159 --> 00:04:12.560 where it is Ross It's it's the hotel I was 66 00:04:12.599 --> 00:04:17.240 staying at when the giant homeless person attacked me with 67 00:04:17.279 --> 00:04:20.879 their cigarette. It's literally that one. But they said, I 68 00:04:20.920 --> 00:04:25.319 think there's a party downtown, and I'm just like, I 69 00:04:25.439 --> 00:04:28.360 don't think that counts as a party. Have you seen 70 00:04:28.399 --> 00:04:31.079 the party footage out of Los Angeles? Right, because you've 71 00:04:31.079 --> 00:04:32.879 been dubbing in audio, you've seen some of that party 72 00:04:32.920 --> 00:04:35.279 footage now you have seen tons of it. Yeah. Yeah, 73 00:04:35.279 --> 00:04:37.199 it looks like a good party. So they're gonna have 74 00:04:37.240 --> 00:04:39.519 like a big party downtown when you're there. Huh. 75 00:04:39.560 --> 00:04:43.120 I get maybe it's for me, I don't know, hippies 76 00:04:43.160 --> 00:04:45.920 and masks with bear mace or something like, it's gonna 77 00:04:45.920 --> 00:04:46.560 be a good time. 78 00:04:47.120 --> 00:04:49.319 How do you party? Do you not party with hippies 79 00:04:49.360 --> 00:04:51.680 and masks with bear mace? I mean, I don't know, 80 00:04:52.519 --> 00:04:55.040 I don't know. I just let's just start laughing. You 81 00:04:55.120 --> 00:04:58.879 might want to bring like an actual mace. Oh that's 82 00:04:58.920 --> 00:05:01.920 a good point. Yeah, what's it imbued with? Should I 83 00:05:01.920 --> 00:05:08.279 go with cold acid, fire, holy on a mace. Let 84 00:05:08.319 --> 00:05:09.759 me just tell you, man, Yeah, it's gonna like a 85 00:05:09.800 --> 00:05:16.079 faith build Yeah yeah, yeah. So it's a party downtown. Uh, 86 00:05:16.120 --> 00:05:22.160 which I here's the weird part. I'm actually excited. I like, 87 00:05:22.480 --> 00:05:26.279 I dude, one of my favorite things ever was running 88 00:05:26.319 --> 00:05:29.360 with the protesters, you know, like it's Pamploma and the bulls, 89 00:05:30.160 --> 00:05:34.839 like because they're just such lunatics. Man. Well, and it's 90 00:05:34.879 --> 00:05:37.959 crazy because you have like a personally, a perfectly reasonable 91 00:05:38.040 --> 00:05:42.120 person and if it's too if it's out of control, 92 00:05:42.279 --> 00:05:45.720 there will be the moment when the reasonable person meaning 93 00:05:45.800 --> 00:05:49.879 like we have different political ideas whatever, where they where 94 00:05:49.879 --> 00:05:53.560 they go the hell did I show up to? Because 95 00:05:53.600 --> 00:05:56.680 they see they see the people around them acting like, 96 00:05:57.079 --> 00:06:02.600 you know, criminals, lunatics. So super I don't want the 97 00:06:02.639 --> 00:06:04.879 party in Charlotte because I just got to get in there, 98 00:06:05.079 --> 00:06:08.480 grab what I need and you know, head head to Ashville. 99 00:06:08.560 --> 00:06:10.959 So I don't want to deal with that. But like 100 00:06:12.399 --> 00:06:17.959 ash Ashville party might be fun. I don't know. I mean, 101 00:06:17.959 --> 00:06:20.480 it's not gonna be fun and that anyone's reasonable and 102 00:06:20.560 --> 00:06:22.439 a lot of people just get very annoyed by it. 103 00:06:22.519 --> 00:06:25.800 But like the stuff, they'll tell you is is wild, 104 00:06:26.879 --> 00:06:33.360 although nowadays you have too many, too many people out 105 00:06:33.360 --> 00:06:35.920 there try to trigger them for video, so I think 106 00:06:35.920 --> 00:06:40.360 they're probably a little more hostile. But we'll see. I'll 107 00:06:40.399 --> 00:06:47.160 report back to you. But it's not a party. It's 108 00:06:47.519 --> 00:06:49.600 it's not a party. I'm just telling you. 109 00:06:49.720 --> 00:06:51.959 It's like so funny, like it's like a street festival 110 00:06:52.120 --> 00:06:54.079 or like a fast market or something. 111 00:06:54.120 --> 00:06:56.959 You know, Oh yeah, go down. All they got to do. 112 00:06:57.160 --> 00:06:59.199 They got all the breweries are going to be there. 113 00:06:59.199 --> 00:07:02.240 It's a it's a you do tastings and stuff. Oh no, 114 00:07:02.439 --> 00:07:08.079 it's and it's Asheville. So guaranteed some lunatics will roll out. 115 00:07:08.360 --> 00:07:10.199 Now I can't decide if I want it to be 116 00:07:10.240 --> 00:07:12.360 the younger I actually I know I can't decide. I 117 00:07:12.399 --> 00:07:16.519 want it to be the younger lunatics, not the AARP 118 00:07:16.800 --> 00:07:19.720 meeting that for whatever reason, these anti Trump protests have 119 00:07:19.800 --> 00:07:23.680 turned into. But I will find out. We'll find out. 120 00:07:24.600 --> 00:07:28.000 But that's next week, so just hold on for that. 121 00:07:28.040 --> 00:07:29.680 You know what it is, you know what it is. 122 00:07:29.720 --> 00:07:35.360 It's going to be exuberance, That's what it'll be. It'll be. 123 00:07:35.519 --> 00:07:38.040 And I have to remember this, Nancy Pelosi schooled me. 124 00:07:38.439 --> 00:07:40.720 In fact, let me let me have Nancy Pelosi school 125 00:07:40.759 --> 00:07:41.199 all of you. 126 00:07:41.560 --> 00:07:44.040 When and I say this as a former party two, 127 00:07:45.160 --> 00:07:48.519 when there is a gathering, a large gathering of people, 128 00:07:49.319 --> 00:07:53.839 the anarchists see it as an opportunity and they move in. 129 00:07:54.399 --> 00:07:56.680 So always have to be careful whether you see a 130 00:07:56.720 --> 00:07:59.680 burned car or broken window or whatever it is. It 131 00:07:59.759 --> 00:08:03.000 may be the exuberance of the moment, but it may 132 00:08:03.079 --> 00:08:06.319 be the anarchist setting in. I heard one of the 133 00:08:06.439 --> 00:08:11.560 former police chiefs of Los Angeles speak about this on Sunday. 134 00:08:13.879 --> 00:08:17.079 Ross have you have? Have you ever exhubed so hard 135 00:08:17.240 --> 00:08:22.199 that your car caught fire? You know, I'm thinking about it. 136 00:08:22.199 --> 00:08:25.040 I don't think so. You've never exubed? Is that hard? 137 00:08:25.160 --> 00:08:27.600 I'm no, I don't think I have. Okay, maybe I'm 138 00:08:27.600 --> 00:08:30.399 gonna try it hard enough. Yeah, well you're not partied enough. 139 00:08:30.439 --> 00:08:33.120 I think that's that's what's going on here. So all right. 140 00:08:33.200 --> 00:08:36.120 So Nancy Pelosi, who, by the way, you don't even 141 00:08:36.200 --> 00:08:40.080 have to mess with her audio anymore to make her 142 00:08:40.120 --> 00:08:45.399 sound like something's going on right. By the way, she 143 00:08:45.399 --> 00:08:47.480 she made a trade yesterday, just killed it at the 144 00:08:47.480 --> 00:08:51.960 stock market. I followed that Pelosi tracker. They have a 145 00:08:52.000 --> 00:08:58.200 Pelosi investment Tracker account. You should follow that anyway. So, yeah, 146 00:08:58.440 --> 00:09:02.240 it might be a crime, but it might just be 147 00:09:02.320 --> 00:09:06.720 the exuberance of the moment. And if you exube too hard, 148 00:09:06.799 --> 00:09:09.200 your car will burst into flames. Its gonna be a 149 00:09:09.240 --> 00:09:12.279 lot of exuber inso Nashville, that's what I heard. Well, 150 00:09:12.360 --> 00:09:15.440 and Charlotte and Raleigh and the Triad, Yeah, they're exhubing 151 00:09:15.480 --> 00:09:20.159 all over the state. Man, you better be ready. And 152 00:09:20.279 --> 00:09:24.960 as you know, a vehicle that is wrapped as a 153 00:09:25.279 --> 00:09:29.559 media vehicle is not literally a target. So at least 154 00:09:29.600 --> 00:09:32.559 you don't have Rush Limbaugh's big head on it. Well, 155 00:09:32.600 --> 00:09:34.240 I don't know, because I'm gonna grab one of the 156 00:09:34.320 --> 00:09:37.240 Charlotte vehicles and might drive that up because I need 157 00:09:37.240 --> 00:09:41.240 a larger suv, And so I don't know how it's wrapped. 158 00:09:41.600 --> 00:09:45.080 To be cross with you. It could be Rush Limbaugh's head. 159 00:09:45.159 --> 00:09:47.519 And then I end up like you in the MLK 160 00:09:47.720 --> 00:09:53.080 day parade over in Durham, harassing people who march with 161 00:09:53.159 --> 00:09:56.320 the King. So, and for those who don't know this story, 162 00:09:56.879 --> 00:10:00.799 or Ross and our former program director had our station 163 00:10:00.960 --> 00:10:03.919 vehicle in the MLK eight parade over in Durham and 164 00:10:03.960 --> 00:10:05.960 it didn't go. Well, Yeah, that was the old rap 165 00:10:06.039 --> 00:10:08.000 that had like Rush Limba's big head on it. It was 166 00:10:08.000 --> 00:10:11.039 the van. It wasn't even the suv with yeah, yeah, yeah, 167 00:10:11.039 --> 00:10:12.519 it was. It was the van. Yeah. 168 00:10:12.600 --> 00:10:14.480 I don't think and I think it was just Rush Limbaugh. 169 00:10:14.679 --> 00:10:16.519 I don't think like it was Handedy or Beck or anything. 170 00:10:16.519 --> 00:10:18.159 Maybe it was maybe they're like tying. 171 00:10:18.279 --> 00:10:21.000 Or remember what we had on that. So but it 172 00:10:21.000 --> 00:10:23.639 didn't matter at that point. The message is out there 173 00:10:24.120 --> 00:10:28.440 and uh, you're driving or Brian's driving. No, I was driving, 174 00:10:28.480 --> 00:10:32.279 and Brian was throwing candy out the window in people's faces. 175 00:10:32.679 --> 00:10:35.120 Yeah, it was like you said, the MLK Junior parade. 176 00:10:36.159 --> 00:10:39.799 And so he's throwing candy out and it hits some 177 00:10:39.840 --> 00:10:42.679 old guy right in the face, leg in the face, 178 00:10:43.440 --> 00:10:45.639 and the crowd turns on the van and they were 179 00:10:45.639 --> 00:10:48.600 already kind of like, you know, weird with the van anyway, 180 00:10:48.919 --> 00:10:51.360 right right, yeah, you know, because the Originallymba's big head 181 00:10:51.399 --> 00:10:53.720 is like being you know, driven down Durham whatever. So 182 00:10:53.759 --> 00:10:58.200 it hits this old guy in the head and you 183 00:10:58.200 --> 00:11:00.480 can just see like a switch in his head, you know, 184 00:11:00.960 --> 00:11:04.120 and he just goes, I must wait the king and 185 00:11:04.159 --> 00:11:07.600 they picked up their candy off the ground. And start 186 00:11:07.679 --> 00:11:10.000 throwing it at the van in the side of the van. 187 00:11:10.080 --> 00:11:11.639 It sounds like it's getting hit with hail. 188 00:11:11.799 --> 00:11:13.480 It's a poor gunshot. 189 00:11:13.720 --> 00:11:17.559 Or yeah, Brian's just like go, go, go like that, 190 00:11:17.679 --> 00:11:20.080 and he's like ducking under the window because the candy 191 00:11:20.120 --> 00:11:22.600 starts flying into the van to hitting the van. 192 00:11:23.399 --> 00:11:26.919 And I hadn't done it. We just leave the parade. Yeah, 193 00:11:27.039 --> 00:11:30.279 we got home celebrated enough. Mark, He's like, you're home early. 194 00:11:30.279 --> 00:11:35.159 How'd it go? Yeah? Did you tell her about the party? Uh? 195 00:11:35.240 --> 00:11:38.360 Yeah, there was so much exuberance at the time. Yeah, 196 00:11:38.440 --> 00:11:39.200 I was overwhelmed. 197 00:11:39.879 --> 00:11:44.120 We had to leave it one more time. Nancy tell us. 198 00:11:44.000 --> 00:11:47.039 Again when and I say this as a former party chair, 199 00:11:48.159 --> 00:11:51.480 when there is a gathering, a large gathering of people, 200 00:11:52.320 --> 00:11:56.799 the anarchists see it as an opportunity and they move in. 201 00:11:57.399 --> 00:11:59.840 By the way, I will say this, that is that 202 00:12:00.080 --> 00:12:01.840 might be one of the most that part right there 203 00:12:01.960 --> 00:12:04.039 might be one of the most honest things I've ever 204 00:12:04.080 --> 00:12:07.200 heard her say, because she's not inaccurate. 205 00:12:07.279 --> 00:12:09.120 I was thinking the same thing, and she actually sounds 206 00:12:09.159 --> 00:12:11.879 pretty coherent compared to pass cuts, especially compared to like 207 00:12:11.879 --> 00:12:15.480 what you're saying, like Maxim Waters yesterday at least Nancy Pelosi. 208 00:12:15.519 --> 00:12:16.639 She seems like she's there. 209 00:12:17.840 --> 00:12:21.320 Yeah, yeah, I'll give you that. In fact, put the 210 00:12:21.360 --> 00:12:25.360 Maxine door slam audio up. I'll probably play that again. 211 00:12:26.679 --> 00:12:31.519 So she's right, right, because looks as funny as it 212 00:12:31.639 --> 00:12:33.279 is to go. You know, it's just a bunch of 213 00:12:33.320 --> 00:12:36.519 criminals gathering. A lot of people come out there. They 214 00:12:37.960 --> 00:12:42.279 don't have the intention of I don't know, threatening to 215 00:12:42.399 --> 00:12:46.519 murder a woman with her babies. Well they throw bottles 216 00:12:46.519 --> 00:12:48.480 at her like that's but you know, you get swept 217 00:12:48.559 --> 00:12:52.519 up in the moment because the exuberance. And she's right, 218 00:12:53.879 --> 00:12:57.960 you have a core group of people who utilize this 219 00:12:58.159 --> 00:13:01.399 to carry out they're much more vibe form of protest 220 00:13:03.519 --> 00:13:06.840 and for whatever reason, like trying to get a Democrat 221 00:13:06.840 --> 00:13:09.399 to admit that has not been easy, so I will 222 00:13:09.399 --> 00:13:12.320 give her credit for that. However, this is where we 223 00:13:12.399 --> 00:13:13.200 go off. 224 00:13:13.000 --> 00:13:15.519 The rails, so always have to be careful whether you 225 00:13:15.559 --> 00:13:18.240 see a burned car or broken window or whatever it is. 226 00:13:18.840 --> 00:13:21.879 It may be the exuberance of the moment, but it 227 00:13:21.960 --> 00:13:25.120 may be the anarchist setting in. I heard one of 228 00:13:25.120 --> 00:13:29.320 the former police chiefs of Los Angeles speak about this 229 00:13:29.600 --> 00:13:30.279 on Sunday. 230 00:13:30.720 --> 00:13:33.919 Okay, all right, great, So that's where we go off 231 00:13:33.919 --> 00:13:36.360 the rails because she's like, it may be anarch, it 232 00:13:36.399 --> 00:13:40.879 may be criminals, or it may just be the exuberance 233 00:13:40.879 --> 00:13:44.879 of the moment. And I'm like, the first one's correct, 234 00:13:45.159 --> 00:13:48.879 what the hell is the second one. Cars don't just 235 00:13:49.720 --> 00:13:55.720 spontaneously combust when people are exuberant, like, somebody's gotta light that. 236 00:13:56.919 --> 00:14:00.279 Somebody's got to make the decision that we're gonna to 237 00:14:00.360 --> 00:14:08.320 light this thing on fire. Unless there's very rare occasions 238 00:14:08.399 --> 00:14:11.039 where a car will actually catch fire when you don't 239 00:14:11.120 --> 00:14:17.639 mean it to, depending on what kind of engine you have. Uh, 240 00:14:17.720 --> 00:14:22.440 there's a thing that diesel engines can do where they 241 00:14:22.519 --> 00:14:24.919 start cycling and they can't stop, and you got it. 242 00:14:25.320 --> 00:14:27.879 The trick is you got to cut off oxygen to 243 00:14:28.000 --> 00:14:34.320 them where it will it will just perpetually turn into 244 00:14:34.360 --> 00:14:37.159 a thing where the engine literally converst into flames. It's 245 00:14:37.200 --> 00:14:39.919 a it's a very rare thing. And if you don't 246 00:14:39.960 --> 00:14:41.639 drive a diesel, you don't have to worry about it. 247 00:14:42.559 --> 00:14:45.120 And frankly, if you drive a modern diesel, you really 248 00:14:45.159 --> 00:14:46.919 don't have to worry about it. But you've got to 249 00:14:46.919 --> 00:14:51.080 get old diesel engine, specifically an old diesel tractor engine, 250 00:14:51.759 --> 00:15:01.159 it can start spinning wildly out of control, and at 251 00:15:01.200 --> 00:15:07.639 that point, again you have to you gotta cut oxygen. 252 00:15:08.480 --> 00:15:12.440 It's called a right, you called a runaway. But diesel 253 00:15:12.519 --> 00:15:16.399 people know what I'm talking about. So the engine essentially, 254 00:15:16.519 --> 00:15:19.279 the engine will continue to cycle and the RPMs will 255 00:15:19.279 --> 00:15:24.200 build and you're not giving it any fuel. And there's 256 00:15:24.200 --> 00:15:26.759 a lot of issues contamination of the fuel. It could 257 00:15:26.759 --> 00:15:30.799 be an intake issue, but it's so rare that almost 258 00:15:30.960 --> 00:15:33.919 nobody will deal with this in their lifetime. I have 259 00:15:34.080 --> 00:15:37.039 had to deal with it with a tractor, and if 260 00:15:37.080 --> 00:15:39.679 you throw a rag over the air intake, it'll it'll 261 00:15:39.759 --> 00:15:41.919 solve itself. Right. If it can't get oxygen in there, 262 00:15:42.320 --> 00:15:46.440 that's it. But Nancy Pelosi doesn't know this. It's not 263 00:15:46.600 --> 00:15:48.399 a thing that she's ever had to deal with, so 264 00:15:48.919 --> 00:15:51.279 she won't have to worry about it. So while the 265 00:15:51.320 --> 00:15:54.399 first part is reasonable that you got to watch out 266 00:15:54.480 --> 00:15:56.360 because ne'er do wells will get in there and then 267 00:15:56.360 --> 00:16:01.440 they'll start doing crimes and stuff, the second parts arguably 268 00:16:01.519 --> 00:16:07.960 insane because exuberance has never burned. Twenty two way mos 269 00:16:08.080 --> 00:16:11.039 or whatever the number was that they came up with yesterday. Okay, 270 00:16:11.320 --> 00:16:14.759 all right, So there you go. Now we all learned 271 00:16:14.759 --> 00:16:19.279 about diesel runaways. Very exciting. That's what this show is education, 272 00:16:19.600 --> 00:16:22.799 and we'll be back. Apparently there's a pee Wee Herman documentary. 273 00:16:24.000 --> 00:16:28.600 It's two parts. It's on HBO Max. So that's it. 274 00:16:28.799 --> 00:16:34.159 It's called pee Wee as himself. And well, I shouldn't 275 00:16:34.159 --> 00:16:36.960 say it's a peeweeedy, it's a Paul Rubins documentary, right, 276 00:16:37.759 --> 00:16:41.080 because that's who Peewee is and pee Wee is one 277 00:16:41.080 --> 00:16:44.480 of these first This is so in the wheelhouse of 278 00:16:44.600 --> 00:16:47.480 my childhood and Ross's childhood because it's just the age 279 00:16:48.279 --> 00:16:52.240 and easily pee Wee's Big Adventure was probably one of 280 00:16:52.320 --> 00:16:57.679 the i'll say top ten most watched and rewatched movies 281 00:16:57.720 --> 00:16:59.879 of my childhood. Uh yeah, I would rank it easily 282 00:17:00.039 --> 00:17:02.919 one of the top you know, five movies to Camp 283 00:17:04.680 --> 00:17:08.279 was a couple of the earnest movies. Pee Wee's Big 284 00:17:08.359 --> 00:17:12.680 Adventure watched them one hundred times as a kid. It's 285 00:17:12.799 --> 00:17:16.039 no question. So the document the documentary's pretty good, is 286 00:17:16.079 --> 00:17:18.960 what Ross is saying. Yeah, but you only watched half 287 00:17:19.000 --> 00:17:20.200 of it, right, You watched first. 288 00:17:20.400 --> 00:17:23.720 Yeah, we watched the first episode. Yep, we've learned we've 289 00:17:23.799 --> 00:17:27.799 learned a lot about Paul Rubins. Yeah, would you learn 290 00:17:28.880 --> 00:17:30.079 I don't want to spoil anything. 291 00:17:30.839 --> 00:17:33.200 Well no, no, no. The so the pee Wee's Big Adventure, 292 00:17:33.319 --> 00:17:35.359 This is a fascinating story. So they didn't think the 293 00:17:35.440 --> 00:17:36.519 movie was going to do anything. 294 00:17:36.599 --> 00:17:38.400 No, they thought it was going to bomb. They released 295 00:17:38.400 --> 00:17:40.400 it in like you know, three Cities and Opening Night. 296 00:17:40.480 --> 00:17:42.640 But he got the support of MTV and you know, 297 00:17:42.839 --> 00:17:45.359 celebrities and stuff that have known him. It's crazy how 298 00:17:45.400 --> 00:17:48.200 he came up with the character, how he sort of 299 00:17:48.400 --> 00:17:49.000 and you see. 300 00:17:48.880 --> 00:17:51.359 This a lot of people don't know if Phil Hartman 301 00:17:51.519 --> 00:17:53.839 was kind of his writing partner. Yeah, they were friends 302 00:17:53.880 --> 00:17:55.799 at the Groundlings. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. 303 00:17:55.920 --> 00:17:57.440 So they talk about how they came up with the 304 00:17:57.680 --> 00:17:59.880 concept of the idea. The idea like it was gonna 305 00:17:59.920 --> 00:18:02.480 be completely different movie. He wanted to be like a 306 00:18:03.200 --> 00:18:06.000 there was this movie with Hayley Mills called Pollyanna. Yeah, 307 00:18:06.039 --> 00:18:07.799 he wanted it to be like a male version of that, 308 00:18:07.920 --> 00:18:10.880 where like pee Wee gets oh no, gets injured and 309 00:18:10.960 --> 00:18:13.680 he loses the ability to walk and it was dies 310 00:18:14.480 --> 00:18:18.119 and he like comes dark, yeah, and he like rehabilitates 311 00:18:18.160 --> 00:18:20.559 and becomes a better person. And while they're writing this movie. 312 00:18:20.599 --> 00:18:22.839 They're really struggling writing this movie. Him and Phil Hartman. 313 00:18:23.200 --> 00:18:25.200 There was another guy too, I don't remember his name, sorry, 314 00:18:25.240 --> 00:18:28.400 guy on the lot of Warner Brothers at the time. 315 00:18:28.519 --> 00:18:31.480 Everybody's riding bikes back and forth like to where it 316 00:18:31.599 --> 00:18:34.880 was just a thing they did. Yeah, yeah, and it 317 00:18:35.000 --> 00:18:36.680 was pissed off because he didn't have his own bike. 318 00:18:36.720 --> 00:18:38.240 And one day he opened the door to where they 319 00:18:38.279 --> 00:18:40.920 were writing the movie and outside was you know, it 320 00:18:41.119 --> 00:18:42.960 was the bike, but it was like an orange version 321 00:18:43.000 --> 00:18:45.400 of the bike from the movie. Okay, and you know 322 00:18:45.440 --> 00:18:47.279 it said to pee Wee Herman and he said, from 323 00:18:47.319 --> 00:18:50.279 there the movie just came to him, like the movie 324 00:18:50.359 --> 00:18:50.880 just pours, and. 325 00:18:51.279 --> 00:18:52.279 Sometimes it worked. 326 00:18:53.079 --> 00:18:55.000 And you can probably relate to this. Sometimes in like 327 00:18:55.039 --> 00:18:56.680 a creative field, when you have a good idea, it 328 00:18:56.799 --> 00:18:59.400 just sort of happens. Yes, it's best not but if 329 00:18:59.440 --> 00:19:02.000 you sit down try to force an idea, it's not 330 00:19:02.079 --> 00:19:03.519 gonna be as good as the idea just sort of 331 00:19:03.559 --> 00:19:05.400 like comes to you and you hear like musicians say 332 00:19:05.440 --> 00:19:06.960 this too, like the song just came out of me, 333 00:19:07.039 --> 00:19:08.839 Like the lyrics just came out of me, and like 334 00:19:08.920 --> 00:19:11.039 they wrote the movie like super fast once they realized 335 00:19:11.079 --> 00:19:11.440 what it was. 336 00:19:12.400 --> 00:19:14.039 And I don't mean to make this all about us, 337 00:19:14.160 --> 00:19:16.599 but the stuff that you guys probably think is the 338 00:19:16.680 --> 00:19:18.920 funniest we do on the show, Ross and I don't. 339 00:19:20.759 --> 00:19:23.960 We don't pre create it. I don't know how to 340 00:19:24.000 --> 00:19:28.160 describe it. Like it just it just vibes, man. So 341 00:19:28.720 --> 00:19:31.079 just so that's what Ross is talking. It just vibes. 342 00:19:31.119 --> 00:19:33.240 You just realize this is funny and we're gonna keep 343 00:19:33.240 --> 00:19:35.759 going with They wanted the Gimes. It works sometimes it don't, 344 00:19:35.839 --> 00:19:37.440 so they wanted to give him a different director. He 345 00:19:37.559 --> 00:19:39.960 chose Tim Burton. It was Tim Burton's first movie, but 346 00:19:40.079 --> 00:19:41.799 it cost it that worked out for him. 347 00:19:41.960 --> 00:19:44.359 It cost them six million dollars to make that movie 348 00:19:44.440 --> 00:19:46.440 and it ended up grossing like forty two million or 349 00:19:46.440 --> 00:19:48.400 something like forty seven for I just looked. 350 00:19:48.160 --> 00:19:50.519 It up, so this is just the US gross. It 351 00:19:50.640 --> 00:19:53.799 ended up grossing forty one million during its initial theatrical 352 00:19:53.920 --> 00:19:57.240 run on a six million dollar budget. So yeah, pretty 353 00:19:57.960 --> 00:20:00.400 obviously nowadays movies are stupid. 354 00:20:00.519 --> 00:20:03.119 But but it's also one of these things where like 355 00:20:03.160 --> 00:20:05.599 he created a character and like an you know, alter ego, 356 00:20:05.680 --> 00:20:07.079 this persona that he sort. 357 00:20:06.880 --> 00:20:07.319 Of got, like. 358 00:20:08.920 --> 00:20:14.519 You know, he created no, no, no, no, but he 359 00:20:14.680 --> 00:20:16.880 was trashed in the character that he created that made 360 00:20:16.920 --> 00:20:19.000 him gave him the fame exactly. 361 00:20:19.200 --> 00:20:23.640 That's the thing, look, Ernest p. Warrel, yep, right, that's 362 00:20:23.880 --> 00:20:25.839 and and by the way, it doesn't sound like he 363 00:20:25.920 --> 00:20:27.279 appreciated that very. 364 00:20:27.279 --> 00:20:29.039 Much, but he was saying that, you know, like with 365 00:20:29.119 --> 00:20:31.079 the movie with Pee Wee's Big Adventure, he was kind 366 00:20:31.079 --> 00:20:33.039 of upset that he didn't get like the credit he 367 00:20:33.119 --> 00:20:35.559 deserved because he wrote the movie with Phil Hartman, and 368 00:20:35.640 --> 00:20:37.480 he said on you know, it said pee Wee her 369 00:20:37.680 --> 00:20:39.519 you know when. So the credits start rolling and it says, 370 00:20:39.559 --> 00:20:41.160 because he made pee Wee Herman as if pee Wee 371 00:20:41.160 --> 00:20:43.519 Herman was a real character, It's like performance are like 372 00:20:43.559 --> 00:20:45.200 Andy Kaufman, right, like, this is a real guy. His 373 00:20:45.279 --> 00:20:47.039 name is pee Wee and that's who I am. And 374 00:20:47.079 --> 00:20:48.920 I don't do I don't I don't do interviews as 375 00:20:49.039 --> 00:20:50.039 Paul Rubins, right. 376 00:20:50.279 --> 00:20:50.599 Correct. 377 00:20:50.680 --> 00:20:52.720 So the credits are rolling and it says pee Wee 378 00:20:52.799 --> 00:20:55.279 Herman as himself, and then it says who wrote the 379 00:20:55.319 --> 00:20:58.079 movie and it says, you know, Phil Hartman, Paul Rubins 380 00:20:58.240 --> 00:20:59.920 and the other guy that I can't remember. I'm sorry, 381 00:21:00.359 --> 00:21:02.440 And guy's listening like a pistop at you. 382 00:21:02.920 --> 00:21:05.160 Yeah, he's cash and checks. He's fine. But he realized 383 00:21:05.160 --> 00:21:07.720 like people didn't know who Paul Rubins was, Like they 384 00:21:07.759 --> 00:21:11.759 didn't know that he wrote the movie. No, I think really, 385 00:21:11.839 --> 00:21:13.640 I think people picked up on his name with the 386 00:21:13.759 --> 00:21:17.000 theater incident, which is unfortunate. Right, That's when everything sort 387 00:21:17.000 --> 00:21:21.440 of like came to light, Right, Yeah, yeah, what's crazy 388 00:21:21.480 --> 00:21:24.960 about a character too or an actor like this? Pee 389 00:21:24.960 --> 00:21:28.200 wee Herman went to And I didn't know this was 390 00:21:28.279 --> 00:21:31.480 a thing until I went to school in California, and 391 00:21:31.920 --> 00:21:33.920 you know, now you're in the college culture there. Some 392 00:21:33.960 --> 00:21:36.720 people talk about it. So when when we think of 393 00:21:36.920 --> 00:21:39.799 like famous acting schools, what's the one in New York 394 00:21:39.880 --> 00:21:43.359 that everybody knows Julliard Julliard? Right, Oh, this this person 395 00:21:43.400 --> 00:21:46.440 went to Julliard. Pee Wee Herman essentially went to Juilliard. 396 00:21:46.480 --> 00:21:49.559 He went to what's called cal Arts, which is like 397 00:21:50.279 --> 00:21:52.480 it's if you don't go to Juilliard and you're a 398 00:21:52.519 --> 00:21:55.680 famous actor, you probably went to cal Arts. But like 399 00:21:55.839 --> 00:21:57.400 famous dramatic actor. 400 00:21:57.519 --> 00:21:59.920 And because he went there and he like everything is unfit. 401 00:22:00.279 --> 00:22:02.839
