00:00:25.839 --> 00:00:27.280
<v Speaker 1>two oh two five.

8
00:00:28.120 --> 00:00:33.320
<v Speaker 2>As we get inches closer to Thanksgiving, I don't know

9
00:00:33.320 --> 00:00:37.439
<v Speaker 2>what you guys are doing, who's cooking, who's entertaining, who's

10
00:00:37.479 --> 00:00:41.119
<v Speaker 2>doing whatever? I think I said, I'm just I'm making

11
00:00:41.119 --> 00:00:44.399
<v Speaker 2>stuff shells. I decided on stuff shells with a nice

12
00:00:44.399 --> 00:00:45.320
<v Speaker 2>meat sauce.

13
00:00:45.039 --> 00:00:48.640
<v Speaker 1>And pork and beef. My kids love it. They used

14
00:00:48.640 --> 00:00:50.039
<v Speaker 1>to make it with me and they were kids. It

15
00:00:50.159 --> 00:00:53.840
<v Speaker 1>was so cute with the mixture. We make the mixture

16
00:00:53.840 --> 00:00:55.000
<v Speaker 1>of the mutsell and.

17
00:00:55.159 --> 00:01:02.200
<v Speaker 2>I got the eggs, just the parmegiano and giano cheese,

18
00:01:02.240 --> 00:01:05.560
<v Speaker 2>and you just stuff your shells with that.

19
00:01:06.799 --> 00:01:10.439
<v Speaker 1>Make a nice pork and beef meat sauce with that.

20
00:01:11.079 --> 00:01:14.959
<v Speaker 1>Oh forget, It's wonderful. And I ham, I'm not doing

21
00:01:15.000 --> 00:01:18.159
<v Speaker 1>the turkey. I'm not doing this. A couple of sides.

22
00:01:18.200 --> 00:01:22.560
<v Speaker 1>Some stuffings, some nice string beans with garlic and almonds.

23
00:01:22.640 --> 00:01:24.920
<v Speaker 1>I'm not going bananas with the turkey, Like I said,

24
00:01:25.920 --> 00:01:30.519
<v Speaker 1>I can't do it, but that's my plan. Just a

25
00:01:30.519 --> 00:01:32.439
<v Speaker 1>little Is it just me? There is a little bit

26
00:01:32.519 --> 00:01:34.959
<v Speaker 1>off this year? Is it a little bit off? I

27
00:01:35.079 --> 00:01:38.480
<v Speaker 1>feel a little bit off. Maybe it's my situation in life.

28
00:01:38.680 --> 00:01:40.519
<v Speaker 1>I don't know. I just don't feel like it's like

29
00:01:40.879 --> 00:01:45.560
<v Speaker 1>holiday time. I don't feel it. I don't know. I

30
00:01:45.640 --> 00:01:48.120
<v Speaker 1>wanted to tell you I forgot. I watched that Michael

31
00:01:48.159 --> 00:01:51.239
<v Speaker 1>Manson documentary and I forgot to tell you that one

32
00:01:51.239 --> 00:01:55.480
<v Speaker 1>of the it was such a phony moment of my life,

33
00:01:55.519 --> 00:01:59.000
<v Speaker 1>but a necessary one, because you know, that's what you

34
00:01:59.079 --> 00:02:03.239
<v Speaker 1>do when you're a person in Ay. You got a

35
00:02:03.280 --> 00:02:05.200
<v Speaker 1>movie script, Well, what I did was when I got

36
00:02:05.200 --> 00:02:07.439
<v Speaker 1>the script for a movie I was supposed to read

37
00:02:07.480 --> 00:02:13.360
<v Speaker 1>for called Chump Change. Yes, I read it home in

38
00:02:13.439 --> 00:02:16.280
<v Speaker 1>my apartment actual it was Vinnie's apartment, and I loved it.

39
00:02:16.280 --> 00:02:19.479
<v Speaker 1>It was really funny. It's very seldom that you get

40
00:02:19.479 --> 00:02:22.000
<v Speaker 1>a script you laugh out loud, and Chump Change had

41
00:02:22.039 --> 00:02:24.639
<v Speaker 1>some really great jokes and I loved my lines, and

42
00:02:25.039 --> 00:02:28.280
<v Speaker 1>the director allowed me to live and we had a

43
00:02:28.319 --> 00:02:32.919
<v Speaker 1>ball with Tracy Lord's and Fred Willard. I mean, so

44
00:02:33.000 --> 00:02:35.639
<v Speaker 1>many people and Mirra. That movie had a lot of

45
00:02:35.680 --> 00:02:39.599
<v Speaker 1>fun people. Tim Mathieson, Oh yeah, we had a great time.

46
00:02:43.400 --> 00:02:46.319
<v Speaker 1>I remember taking the script. This is so bad, but

47
00:02:46.360 --> 00:02:49.560
<v Speaker 1>I did it. I took it to the Beverly Hills Hotel.

48
00:02:49.840 --> 00:02:54.479
<v Speaker 1>I just went to the Beverly Hills Hotel. And back

49
00:02:54.479 --> 00:02:56.400
<v Speaker 1>in the day, you could kind of slip in and

50
00:02:56.680 --> 00:03:00.000
<v Speaker 1>get out the back door and take off your sweatpant

51
00:03:00.000 --> 00:03:01.759
<v Speaker 1>answer and have a bathing sit on and lay on

52
00:03:01.840 --> 00:03:04.680
<v Speaker 1>a lounge and order a drink. And they didn't bust

53
00:03:04.680 --> 00:03:06.680
<v Speaker 1>your balls about what room are you in, Sarah? Now

54
00:03:06.759 --> 00:03:09.759
<v Speaker 1>I'm paying cash. I still need your room, sir. They

55
00:03:09.840 --> 00:03:11.759
<v Speaker 1>didn't do that back then, so you could go out there,

56
00:03:12.000 --> 00:03:14.960
<v Speaker 1>and I did. I laid out there on a nice

57
00:03:14.960 --> 00:03:17.800
<v Speaker 1>hot date and had my script next to me and

58
00:03:17.879 --> 00:03:21.639
<v Speaker 1>read my script at the pool at the BHH. Because

59
00:03:21.680 --> 00:03:24.680
<v Speaker 1>that's what you do when you're a big shot and

60
00:03:24.719 --> 00:03:26.520
<v Speaker 1>you get a script. You got to read it in

61
00:03:26.520 --> 00:03:30.120
<v Speaker 1>front of people. Let the town know, Oh he's getting work.

62
00:03:30.919 --> 00:03:33.080
<v Speaker 1>I know it's so bad, but it's it is what

63
00:03:33.120 --> 00:03:37.479
<v Speaker 1>it is. You know. Before I launch into the show,

64
00:03:37.520 --> 00:03:41.240
<v Speaker 1>I gotta tell you this morning God, how I love

65
00:03:41.319 --> 00:03:45.159
<v Speaker 1>this song ninety seven point five. I don't even know

66
00:03:45.159 --> 00:03:47.280
<v Speaker 1>what the name of the station is that I listened to,

67
00:03:47.319 --> 00:03:51.159
<v Speaker 1>but it's got all old rock, which I love, and

68
00:03:51.199 --> 00:03:53.680
<v Speaker 1>it's none of that bullshit rap in the morning and

69
00:03:53.759 --> 00:03:58.719
<v Speaker 1>I can't you know, Oh, this is the zoo, the

70
00:03:58.800 --> 00:04:02.879
<v Speaker 1>fucking zoo. Cow bells, I can't hear air horns. Get

71
00:04:02.879 --> 00:04:07.680
<v Speaker 1>out of here. They played this morning Knights in White Satin,

72
00:04:08.599 --> 00:04:11.800
<v Speaker 1>moody blues. Most of you, if not all of you,

73
00:04:11.960 --> 00:04:16.079
<v Speaker 1>know that beautiful song. The guy that wrote this song,

74
00:04:16.560 --> 00:04:19.639
<v Speaker 1>I want you to understand. You know, sometimes we push

75
00:04:19.720 --> 00:04:22.279
<v Speaker 1>away youth because we don't think they know enough and

76
00:04:22.319 --> 00:04:25.279
<v Speaker 1>they're not ready to hear this. What does he know? Well,

77
00:04:25.279 --> 00:04:28.560
<v Speaker 1>the guy that wrote this song, Justin Hayward, was nineteen

78
00:04:28.680 --> 00:04:32.920
<v Speaker 1>years old when he wrote Knights in White Satin. And yes,

79
00:04:33.000 --> 00:04:36.600
<v Speaker 1>it's a progressive rock song or whatever you want to

80
00:04:36.600 --> 00:04:40.680
<v Speaker 1>call it, but you have to admit it's timeless. The

81
00:04:40.759 --> 00:04:45.959
<v Speaker 1>kid was nineteen and we all feel most kids don't

82
00:04:46.000 --> 00:04:49.279
<v Speaker 1>know shit at that juncture of their lives. But here

83
00:04:49.319 --> 00:04:52.000
<v Speaker 1>he is spitting out a beautiful melody and lyrics to

84
00:04:52.040 --> 00:04:57.560
<v Speaker 1>a wonderful song. I mean, remember what happened to your heart.

85
00:04:57.560 --> 00:05:01.800
<v Speaker 1>When you first heard that song, it wasn't just a melody.

86
00:05:03.439 --> 00:05:06.040
<v Speaker 1>You know there was something else behind it, right, It

87
00:05:06.240 --> 00:05:09.639
<v Speaker 1>just hits you a certain way. It's still creepy in

88
00:05:09.680 --> 00:05:13.079
<v Speaker 1>a good way. And it's moody. Well that makes sense,

89
00:05:13.120 --> 00:05:16.800
<v Speaker 1>it was saying by the moody blues. But it is phenomenal.

90
00:05:16.959 --> 00:05:22.040
<v Speaker 1>It's a very haunting melody. There's those beautiful string instruments,

91
00:05:22.240 --> 00:05:26.920
<v Speaker 1>lush string. I love using the word lush, lush strings.

92
00:05:27.560 --> 00:05:33.800
<v Speaker 1>With the powerful crescendos. It's a symphony of sorrow and

93
00:05:33.839 --> 00:05:36.720
<v Speaker 1>it cuts very deep when you hear it. And not

94
00:05:36.839 --> 00:05:39.920
<v Speaker 1>a lot of us can understand the poem at the end.

95
00:05:40.160 --> 00:05:42.959
<v Speaker 1>You know, poems could be kind of weird to delve into.

96
00:05:43.040 --> 00:05:49.879
<v Speaker 1>What is this exactly saying? Is it meeting the sadness

97
00:05:49.920 --> 00:05:53.199
<v Speaker 1>I have in my heart? Like? Where is this poem?

98
00:05:53.240 --> 00:05:56.279
<v Speaker 1>And what does it mean to me? Oh? My god,

99
00:05:56.279 --> 00:06:03.720
<v Speaker 1>it's beautiful. He was writing this justin Hayward as one

100
00:06:03.839 --> 00:06:07.879
<v Speaker 1>relationship he had was ending and another one was about

101
00:06:07.959 --> 00:06:11.800
<v Speaker 1>to go and bloom nineteen years old. Happens a lot.

102
00:06:11.879 --> 00:06:14.120
<v Speaker 1>You break up with a chick as you saw another chick.

103
00:06:14.600 --> 00:06:17.560
<v Speaker 1>It's you know, back in those days where every tree

104
00:06:17.680 --> 00:06:21.120
<v Speaker 1>had so much fruit, and he come home one night

105
00:06:21.120 --> 00:06:25.160
<v Speaker 1>and he couldn't sleep. His mind was wandering. I listen,

106
00:06:25.720 --> 00:06:28.439
<v Speaker 1>I still sit on the edge of my bed at

107
00:06:28.519 --> 00:06:32.759
<v Speaker 1>night and try to come up with better words to

108
00:06:32.839 --> 00:06:37.079
<v Speaker 1>a story. I do. I do. And that night Justin

109
00:06:37.120 --> 00:06:41.439
<v Speaker 1>Hayward was wrapped up in satin sheets that a girlfriend

110
00:06:41.480 --> 00:06:43.560
<v Speaker 1>bought him that he felt were a bit pretentious, but

111
00:06:43.600 --> 00:06:48.079
<v Speaker 1>that's what he was wrapped up in. He liked them

112
00:06:48.079 --> 00:06:53.040
<v Speaker 1>because they look romantic and man, those lyrics at the

113
00:06:53.079 --> 00:06:58.360
<v Speaker 1>beginning knights in whit satin, never reaching the end. Let

114
00:06:58.439 --> 00:07:04.360
<v Speaker 1>us I've written meaning to send fuck. That's the kind

115
00:07:04.360 --> 00:07:07.279
<v Speaker 1>of shit you hear from therapy. Like he. I know

116
00:07:07.439 --> 00:07:11.040
<v Speaker 1>for a fact that he went to therapy because those

117
00:07:11.199 --> 00:07:16.199
<v Speaker 1>lyrics right there. You know, a lot of therapists ask

118
00:07:16.279 --> 00:07:19.240
<v Speaker 1>you to write letters to the people that you may

119
00:07:19.240 --> 00:07:22.879
<v Speaker 1>have hurt, and even write letters to yourself to forgive yourself.

120
00:07:23.199 --> 00:07:25.800
<v Speaker 1>I didn't. I've not done that, but it's been asked

121
00:07:25.839 --> 00:07:28.680
<v Speaker 1>of me, and I can tell that's where this Justin

122
00:07:28.720 --> 00:07:32.160
<v Speaker 1>Hayward got that line. Yes, letters that are written to

123
00:07:32.199 --> 00:07:36.120
<v Speaker 1>send the girl, sure, but sometimes it's about letters you

124
00:07:36.199 --> 00:07:39.519
<v Speaker 1>write to yourself or people you want to apologize to

125
00:07:39.639 --> 00:07:44.720
<v Speaker 1>that you're not going to send. But again, this happened

126
00:07:44.800 --> 00:07:47.160
<v Speaker 1>during a time when one relationship was ending and the

127
00:07:47.160 --> 00:07:50.560
<v Speaker 1>other one was beginning, or at least he hoped. And

128
00:07:50.600 --> 00:07:53.480
<v Speaker 1>that sort of shit will give a writer a lot

129
00:07:53.480 --> 00:07:57.279
<v Speaker 1>of fuel. But anybody who knows a thing or two

130
00:07:57.720 --> 00:08:01.000
<v Speaker 1>about men and women can tell you this is a

131
00:08:01.040 --> 00:08:04.759
<v Speaker 1>song about a guy who lost a girl. Of course,

132
00:08:04.800 --> 00:08:09.160
<v Speaker 1>it's one of the best things you could do. Oh,

133
00:08:09.199 --> 00:08:11.439
<v Speaker 1>I lost my girl. Go write a song, Go write

134
00:08:11.480 --> 00:08:15.160
<v Speaker 1>a story. Your heart is full of words, it's full

135
00:08:15.199 --> 00:08:18.439
<v Speaker 1>of passion, and you gotta get out there. You have to,

136
00:08:19.120 --> 00:08:22.600
<v Speaker 1>you know, blood, let it, let it out. Find something

137
00:08:22.680 --> 00:08:25.519
<v Speaker 1>in that pain that you can make positive for yourself.

138
00:08:26.680 --> 00:08:30.639
<v Speaker 1>Too many people don't know how to do that. But

139
00:08:30.800 --> 00:08:36.440
<v Speaker 1>those lyrics, beauty I've always missed with these eyes before.

140
00:08:36.919 --> 00:08:42.240
<v Speaker 1>Just what truth is? I can't say anymore? Obviously he's

141
00:08:42.320 --> 00:08:44.320
<v Speaker 1>lamenting the fact that he should have told this girl

142
00:08:44.320 --> 00:08:49.600
<v Speaker 1>how he feels about her. Brilliant, But then, you know,

143
00:08:50.200 --> 00:08:54.799
<v Speaker 1>just what truth is? I can't say anymore because I

144
00:08:54.919 --> 00:08:58.120
<v Speaker 1>love you, And he says that over and over again,

145
00:08:58.200 --> 00:09:04.240
<v Speaker 1>and it's hearty, Yes, I love you, you know, it's

146
00:09:04.320 --> 00:09:11.360
<v Speaker 1>just my god, it's beautiful. The strings someone tried to

147
00:09:11.399 --> 00:09:17.200
<v Speaker 1>tell me thought, they cannot define just what you want

148
00:09:17.240 --> 00:09:21.879
<v Speaker 1>me to be. I will be in the end again,

149
00:09:22.559 --> 00:09:25.200
<v Speaker 1>Oh my god. He won't be where he wants to

150
00:09:25.240 --> 00:09:27.399
<v Speaker 1>be because he fell in love with a girl who

151
00:09:27.440 --> 00:09:32.159
<v Speaker 1>got away. You get it. He fell in love with well,

152
00:09:32.320 --> 00:09:35.559
<v Speaker 1>I've told you about Mary, but Labucci, that was his girl.

153
00:09:36.799 --> 00:09:38.799
<v Speaker 1>Just what you want to be, you will be in

154
00:09:38.840 --> 00:09:43.320
<v Speaker 1>the end. Yeah, that happens. The guy wants that which

155
00:09:43.320 --> 00:09:46.200
<v Speaker 1>he can no longer. Have a love song to the

156
00:09:46.759 --> 00:09:52.879
<v Speaker 1>one who got away. It's very tragic. But if you're

157
00:09:52.879 --> 00:09:56.200
<v Speaker 1>a man and you don't know a love song, you

158
00:09:56.240 --> 00:10:00.879
<v Speaker 1>haven't lived. I've heard this song I don't know ten

159
00:10:00.919 --> 00:10:04.799
<v Speaker 1>thousand times. I love it, I adore it, and I've

160
00:10:04.840 --> 00:10:07.840
<v Speaker 1>come to realize as I've gotten older, you do become

161
00:10:07.919 --> 00:10:11.000
<v Speaker 1>what you want to be in the end. You do.

162
00:10:11.159 --> 00:10:16.480
<v Speaker 1>And it's kind of beautiful how much emotion it starts

163
00:10:16.559 --> 00:10:19.080
<v Speaker 1>up in you. And when the song breaks down into

164
00:10:19.279 --> 00:10:22.679
<v Speaker 1>the narration part where they do the poem, next time

165
00:10:22.720 --> 00:10:25.240
<v Speaker 1>you hear it, try and remember that this came from

166
00:10:25.240 --> 00:10:28.879
<v Speaker 1>a nineteen year old kid's broken heart, and he minded

167
00:10:29.000 --> 00:10:35.360
<v Speaker 1>that beautiful song from his broken heart his chest. Obviously,

168
00:10:35.399 --> 00:10:37.840
<v Speaker 1>there's people out there who could be just as creative

169
00:10:37.879 --> 00:10:40.279
<v Speaker 1>by tapping into their inner pain, or their inner peace,

170
00:10:40.399 --> 00:10:44.240
<v Speaker 1>or their inner agony, whatever the fuck, But just tap

171
00:10:44.320 --> 00:10:49.120
<v Speaker 1>in and beautiful things will come out of it. I

172
00:10:49.159 --> 00:10:51.360
<v Speaker 1>always say, if you feel like you might want to cry,

173
00:10:51.440 --> 00:10:54.360
<v Speaker 1>then lean in and cry. But that poem is called

174
00:10:54.679 --> 00:11:02.879
<v Speaker 1>late lament and God breathe deep. The gathering gloom watched,

175
00:11:02.960 --> 00:11:07.279
<v Speaker 1>lights fade from every room, bensidered, people look back and

176
00:11:07.399 --> 00:11:14.279
<v Speaker 1>lament another day's useless energy spent impassion, lovers wrestlers, One

177
00:11:14.679 --> 00:11:18.919
<v Speaker 1>lonely man cries for love and has none. New mother

178
00:11:19.039 --> 00:11:22.399
<v Speaker 1>picks up and suckles her son. Senior citizens wish they

179
00:11:22.399 --> 00:11:27.960
<v Speaker 1>were young, cold hearted. Orb that rules the night removes

180
00:11:28.039 --> 00:11:32.559
<v Speaker 1>the colors from our sight. Reds, gray and yellow white.

181
00:11:33.120 --> 00:11:37.440
<v Speaker 1>But we decide which is right and which is an illusion.

182
00:11:37.720 --> 00:11:42.279
<v Speaker 1>Oh myfe hit me with an axe in the back

183
00:11:42.320 --> 00:11:45.480
<v Speaker 1>of the head. I don't care if I die right now.

184
00:11:45.759 --> 00:11:51.960
<v Speaker 1>That song, that poem, red is gray and yellow white.

185
00:11:52.080 --> 00:11:58.519
<v Speaker 1>Fuck you six words that kill me. So beautiful and

186
00:11:58.600 --> 00:12:00.960
<v Speaker 1>even better than it's the end of a rock song.

187
00:12:01.600 --> 00:12:04.159
<v Speaker 1>What an extra surprise that was. As a kid, we

188
00:12:04.200 --> 00:12:06.559
<v Speaker 1>didn't know that was coming, right, We just heard the

189
00:12:06.639 --> 00:12:11.759
<v Speaker 1>song and then what's this. There's a poem after they

190
00:12:11.840 --> 00:12:17.080
<v Speaker 1>hit the xylophone. If you done what kid like me

191
00:12:17.159 --> 00:12:19.720
<v Speaker 1>who loves words that work together, well you can imagine

192
00:12:19.759 --> 00:12:27.519
<v Speaker 1>what it did to me. So great, Moving on, I

193
00:12:27.600 --> 00:12:29.919
<v Speaker 1>told you a few days ago that Cannis Owns just

194
00:12:29.960 --> 00:12:32.759
<v Speaker 1>lost her mind with what she's doing with this whole

195
00:12:32.799 --> 00:12:37.000
<v Speaker 1>new story about the country of France. Has put out

196
00:12:37.000 --> 00:12:40.519
<v Speaker 1>a hit on her. Coincidentally, they also put out a

197
00:12:40.600 --> 00:12:44.399
<v Speaker 1>hit on Charlie Kirk. Now Candas sow is in there crosshairs.

198
00:12:44.399 --> 00:12:46.919
<v Speaker 1>That's what she's saying. I told you she's lost her

199
00:12:46.960 --> 00:12:51.480
<v Speaker 1>mind and it's getting embarrassing. And now there's articles about

200
00:12:51.960 --> 00:12:58.600
<v Speaker 1>exactly what I said. They're saying that cannas Ollan has

201
00:12:58.639 --> 00:13:01.399
<v Speaker 1>claimed they're very high ranking employee of the French government

202
00:13:01.960 --> 00:13:07.559
<v Speaker 1>had warned her that President Emmanuel Macron and his wife

203
00:13:08.039 --> 00:13:13.559
<v Speaker 1>quote unquote Brigitte have executed upon and paid for her assassination.

204
00:13:14.679 --> 00:13:18.039
<v Speaker 1>And the kill squad includes at least one Israeli. Of

205
00:13:18.080 --> 00:13:21.080
<v Speaker 1>course it's gott included Jew because that's what Candice Owen's

206
00:13:21.120 --> 00:13:24.240
<v Speaker 1>loved to talk about. Jews are killing every Jews at

207
00:13:24.240 --> 00:13:27.759
<v Speaker 1>the end of the world. Ju Ju ju ju jew unbelievable.

208
00:13:29.639 --> 00:13:32.679
<v Speaker 1>But the New York Post and The Guardian and other

209
00:13:33.120 --> 00:13:36.960
<v Speaker 1>outlets have written about this delusion. She suddenly is going

210
00:13:37.000 --> 00:13:45.600
<v Speaker 1>on this paranoia delusions of grandeur, as she declines, she's

211
00:13:45.639 --> 00:13:48.879
<v Speaker 1>been claiming this since last year, that Macron was born

212
00:13:48.919 --> 00:13:52.159
<v Speaker 1>a man and they both are part of a pedophile

213
00:13:52.240 --> 00:13:59.919
<v Speaker 1>cult called the Frankests that founded Israel. It gets I mean, uh,

214
00:14:00.120 --> 00:14:07.879
<v Speaker 1>a cult, a pedophile cult founded Israel. She even says

215
00:14:07.879 --> 00:14:13.200
<v Speaker 1>Brigitte may actually be Emmanuel's biological father. I know she's

216
00:14:13.240 --> 00:14:15.919
<v Speaker 1>not on drugs, but she might as well be. Matter

217
00:14:15.960 --> 00:14:18.399
<v Speaker 1>of fact, get on them. Can this? You'll feel better

218
00:14:18.480 --> 00:14:22.840
<v Speaker 1>during your delusions. She also fanned the flames of this

219
00:14:23.000 --> 00:14:27.279
<v Speaker 1>big old crazy conspiracy theory that Israel had something to

220
00:14:27.320 --> 00:14:33.480
<v Speaker 1>do with Charlly being assassinated. I mean, people talk about

221
00:14:33.480 --> 00:14:36.080
<v Speaker 1>Alex Jones and the kind of nutty shit he's done.

222
00:14:36.399 --> 00:14:39.200
<v Speaker 1>Is Candae owns that far away from him, and I

223
00:14:39.279 --> 00:14:41.559
<v Speaker 1>enjoy listening to Alex Jones, even though I know there's

224
00:14:41.559 --> 00:14:45.320
<v Speaker 1>something off of them. These people are all Howard Beel's

225
00:14:45.399 --> 00:14:48.120
<v Speaker 1>from the movie Network. If you haven't seen it or

226
00:14:48.159 --> 00:14:51.519
<v Speaker 1>heard all my shows I've mentioned Network, and you need to.

227
00:14:51.919 --> 00:14:54.279
<v Speaker 1>It's one of the best shows of the nineteen seventies

228
00:14:54.360 --> 00:14:56.720
<v Speaker 1>or maybe the Best Not Shows, one of the best

229
00:14:56.759 --> 00:15:01.120
<v Speaker 1>movies of all time. But Howard was a newsman who

230
00:15:01.240 --> 00:15:03.440
<v Speaker 1>lost his mind and began to just report what he

231
00:15:03.519 --> 00:15:06.559
<v Speaker 1>felt he had to report on. And that's the movie

232
00:15:06.639 --> 00:15:10.840
<v Speaker 1>where you get the line A man as hell and

233
00:15:10.879 --> 00:15:13.639
<v Speaker 1>I can't take it anymore. He made viewers say that

234
00:15:13.679 --> 00:15:16.679
<v Speaker 1>out there windows in New York City while he was

235
00:15:16.720 --> 00:15:19.679
<v Speaker 1>doing his news show. This is what Cande Zellens has become,

236
00:15:19.960 --> 00:15:27.120
<v Speaker 1>except she's spouting conspiracy theories and not truths, at least

237
00:15:27.159 --> 00:15:31.919
<v Speaker 1>not truths to me. But the thing is, the more

238
00:15:32.000 --> 00:15:35.720
<v Speaker 1>she talks shit, he would think that people would turn off,

239
00:15:35.759 --> 00:15:39.840
<v Speaker 1>but no, she's getting so much more hits and likes this.

240
00:15:40.159 --> 00:15:44.799
<v Speaker 1>The first episode of the Macrone series, Becoming Brigitte got

241
00:15:44.919 --> 00:15:48.639
<v Speaker 1>five million views, and the whole thing about the Franco

242
00:15:48.919 --> 00:15:53.799
<v Speaker 1>Israeli hit squad that got are you ready thirty nine

243
00:15:54.000 --> 00:15:57.600
<v Speaker 1>million views over the weekend. I write something on substack

244
00:15:57.679 --> 00:16:01.039
<v Speaker 1>and if twenty people read it, I feel good. Jesus Christ.

245
00:16:03.759 --> 00:16:06.000
<v Speaker 1>Maybe some of them are tuning in because they know

246
00:16:06.039 --> 00:16:10.080
<v Speaker 1>they're reading the words of somebody or listening to somebody

247
00:16:10.120 --> 00:16:13.000
<v Speaker 1>who's become a dumpster fire. I don't know, but it's

248
00:16:13.039 --> 00:16:17.879
<v Speaker 1>a really weird sight. And this whole digital media landscape

249
00:16:17.919 --> 00:16:22.080
<v Speaker 1>we're now all kind of involved in, it's become what

250
00:16:22.200 --> 00:16:27.480
<v Speaker 1>this writer called a cesspool where personality and scandal outweigh

251
00:16:27.679 --> 00:16:35.679
<v Speaker 1>anything resembling sanity and substance. Great point, and every time

252
00:16:35.799 --> 00:16:40.960
<v Speaker 1>Canda Sellens has something to say, she gets more clicks,

253
00:16:41.000 --> 00:16:44.720
<v Speaker 1>more likes. That puts more money in her pocket, and

254
00:16:44.720 --> 00:16:49.399
<v Speaker 1>it puts you into the feeds of other equally unhipged

255
00:16:49.480 --> 00:16:55.440
<v Speaker 1>viewers who do believe everything she's saying and selling. I

256
00:16:55.440 --> 00:17:00.120
<v Speaker 1>don't know. I've always looked at her as sane, and

257
00:17:00.120 --> 00:17:02.399
<v Speaker 1>I'd like her face. I think she's pretty to look at,

258
00:17:02.759 --> 00:17:05.559
<v Speaker 1>and she's very smart, and she's quick on her feet,

259
00:17:05.839 --> 00:17:09.640
<v Speaker 1>and man, she hit the town running. People like that

260
00:17:09.680 --> 00:17:14.880
<v Speaker 1>you gotta take stand up and take notice of. But

261
00:17:14.960 --> 00:17:19.319
<v Speaker 1>her sanity is off right now. It's almost like disintegrating.

262
00:17:20.799 --> 00:17:23.000
<v Speaker 1>And the more people that tune in and hit like

263
00:17:23.119 --> 00:17:27.160
<v Speaker 1>and subscribe, you're just adding to her delusion and her paranoia.

264
00:17:29.240 --> 00:17:30.880
<v Speaker 1>I don't know what's gonna happen to her, but I

265
00:17:30.880 --> 00:17:34.880
<v Speaker 1>think there needs to be a welfare check on Canvas.

266
00:17:34.920 --> 00:17:38.279
<v Speaker 1>Can someone go check on her and her husband and

267
00:17:38.319 --> 00:17:46.319
<v Speaker 1>the kids, it's really weird. Okay, water break, because I'm

268
00:17:46.319 --> 00:17:49.559
<v Speaker 1>gonna talk to you about a movie I just saw

269
00:17:49.599 --> 00:17:52.839
<v Speaker 1>that I liked a lot, and do me favorite. Anybody

270
00:17:52.920 --> 00:17:55.640
<v Speaker 1>out there that wants to be smart ass and write

271
00:17:55.720 --> 00:17:59.839
<v Speaker 1>me on the podcast page. Could you not sniff so

272
00:18:00.240 --> 00:18:04.000
<v Speaker 1>much to clear through or make noises with your mouth?

273
00:18:04.279 --> 00:18:07.519
<v Speaker 1>Go fuck yourself. Anybody who says that, fuck off. Go

274
00:18:07.599 --> 00:18:10.480
<v Speaker 1>listen to Heathery McDonald. Go listen to anybody that's got

275
00:18:10.480 --> 00:18:13.400
<v Speaker 1>to show with an editor that edits everything out. This

276
00:18:13.440 --> 00:18:15.960
<v Speaker 1>show is called unfiltered, So if I fart in the

277
00:18:15.960 --> 00:18:20.039
<v Speaker 1>fucking microphone, it's part of the show. If I do this,

278
00:18:21.079 --> 00:18:24.079
<v Speaker 1>deal with it. It's fucking life. If you don't like it,

279
00:18:24.119 --> 00:18:26.400
<v Speaker 1>fuck off. I'm sick of it. Don't complain to me.

280
00:18:26.480 --> 00:18:28.720
<v Speaker 1>Get out of here. A fucking asshole told me that

281
00:18:28.759 --> 00:18:32.440
<v Speaker 1>this morning on the page. You have no idea. I

282
00:18:32.559 --> 00:18:35.400
<v Speaker 1>don't care what people think of me when they say

283
00:18:35.440 --> 00:18:37.759
<v Speaker 1>something as stupid as that to me. I don't know

284
00:18:37.839 --> 00:18:40.119
<v Speaker 1>his name. I call him out right now. He's not

285
00:18:40.160 --> 00:18:45.000
<v Speaker 1>someone that usually UH posts, but the fuck out of here?

286
00:18:45.480 --> 00:18:51.319
<v Speaker 1>Can you stop doing this and that? Anyhow? I saw

287
00:18:51.359 --> 00:18:56.640
<v Speaker 1>an article today that said that pretty soon forty percent

288
00:18:56.720 --> 00:18:59.440
<v Speaker 1>of jobs performed by human beings are going to be

289
00:18:59.440 --> 00:19:04.359
<v Speaker 1>replaced by AI. And most of the jobs you kind

290
00:19:04.359 --> 00:19:08.079
<v Speaker 1>of see would be replaced by robots, but there are

291
00:19:08.279 --> 00:19:12.440
<v Speaker 1>some you wouldn't think that would happen to. But listen,

292
00:19:12.480 --> 00:19:16.880
<v Speaker 1>it's going to be a scrum, and that scrum many

293
00:19:16.960 --> 00:19:20.160
<v Speaker 1>people who never dream they lose their occupations. They're going

294
00:19:20.240 --> 00:19:24.799
<v Speaker 1>to have to try and convince their bosses that they're better, healthier, quicker,

295
00:19:25.119 --> 00:19:28.160
<v Speaker 1>and more reliable than programmed robots. And none of them

296
00:19:28.200 --> 00:19:33.759
<v Speaker 1>are going to be able to do that. Not even

297
00:19:33.839 --> 00:19:37.279
<v Speaker 1>one percent of them will provide a convincing argument that

298
00:19:37.400 --> 00:19:40.759
<v Speaker 1>makes sense to the pencil pushes of the world. They've

299
00:19:40.759 --> 00:19:45.200
<v Speaker 1>made their decisions. Robots don't get sick. You know, you're

300
00:19:45.200 --> 00:19:46.680
<v Speaker 1>not going to pay them, you're not going to worry

301
00:19:46.680 --> 00:19:49.480
<v Speaker 1>about them not coming to work on time. They get

302
00:19:49.480 --> 00:19:52.720
<v Speaker 1>it done, and they're there every day, whether it's a

303
00:19:52.759 --> 00:19:57.559
<v Speaker 1>machine or an actual robot, and they're reliable. I know

304
00:19:57.640 --> 00:20:02.440
<v Speaker 1>it's impersonal, but if you're a pencil pusher with a

305
00:20:02.480 --> 00:20:07.400
<v Speaker 1>big business, it makes sense. I know a lot of

306
00:20:07.440 --> 00:20:14.039
<v Speaker 1>occupations that include, you know, empathy, sympathy, entertainment to a degree,

307
00:20:14.279 --> 00:20:17.920
<v Speaker 1>medical advice, and there are many other important areas that

308
00:20:18.160 --> 00:20:22.000
<v Speaker 1>should not ever be replaced, or maybe in ten years

309
00:20:22.039 --> 00:20:25.640
<v Speaker 1>will find that they can be. I don't know. We

310
00:20:25.839 --> 00:20:28.440
<v Speaker 1>used to always talk about a doctor's bedside manner. That

311
00:20:28.519 --> 00:20:31.839
<v Speaker 1>meant a lot. I hope doctors are always going to

312
00:20:31.880 --> 00:20:35.039
<v Speaker 1>be around our bed and not have some robot deliver

313
00:20:35.200 --> 00:20:38.000
<v Speaker 1>some print out to a nurse who reads it to you.

314
00:20:42.119 --> 00:20:45.319
<v Speaker 1>It's just crazy if that happens in ten years, five years,

315
00:20:45.599 --> 00:20:50.400
<v Speaker 1>What does that do to the workforce in America? A

316
00:20:50.480 --> 00:20:54.079
<v Speaker 1>workforce that's very uncertain of their future, Like our children,

317
00:20:55.240 --> 00:20:56.319
<v Speaker 1>What do you want to do when you get out

318
00:20:56.359 --> 00:20:58.440
<v Speaker 1>of college? I don't know what's going to be available.

319
00:20:58.559 --> 00:21:04.880
<v Speaker 1>I don't know either. Along the same lines, today I

320
00:21:04.920 --> 00:21:09.640
<v Speaker 1>watched a movie on Netflix called Train Dreams with Joel Edgerton,

321
00:21:09.680 --> 00:21:13.559
<v Speaker 1>who I always like. And this movie centers around one

322
00:21:13.640 --> 00:21:18.319
<v Speaker 1>man at the turn of the century trying to spend

323
00:21:18.319 --> 00:21:22.799
<v Speaker 1>a life, or to spin a life actually for him

324
00:21:22.920 --> 00:21:26.720
<v Speaker 1>and this nice pretty girl he meets, who's Felicity Jones,

325
00:21:26.759 --> 00:21:30.240
<v Speaker 1>And then they have a baby. And this man gets

326
00:21:30.319 --> 00:21:36.359
<v Speaker 1>work making bridges up in the Pacific Northwest Idaho Oregon area,

327
00:21:38.000 --> 00:21:42.640
<v Speaker 1>bridges that traverse rivers and streams, and because of his

328
00:21:42.759 --> 00:21:45.000
<v Speaker 1>hard work and all the other people working on that,

329
00:21:45.839 --> 00:21:49.640
<v Speaker 1>on those developments. It made life a lot easier for

330
00:21:49.720 --> 00:21:54.039
<v Speaker 1>people traveling in those areas in the Great West. But

331
00:21:54.119 --> 00:22:01.279
<v Speaker 1>then ten years later, bigger men from a big company

332
00:22:01.799 --> 00:22:07.279
<v Speaker 1>with more money came and replaced those wooden bridges with

333
00:22:07.400 --> 00:22:10.720
<v Speaker 1>ones made of steel and concrete that could stand the

334
00:22:10.799 --> 00:22:14.480
<v Speaker 1>test of time. And you see this man coming home,

335
00:22:14.559 --> 00:22:18.119
<v Speaker 1>dead tired from months of work away from his home,

336
00:22:18.720 --> 00:22:20.880
<v Speaker 1>and you can tell his face in the same kind

337
00:22:20.920 --> 00:22:24.359
<v Speaker 1>of threats to his career and his family's well being

338
00:22:24.839 --> 00:22:27.519
<v Speaker 1>as many of us right now are because of this

339
00:22:27.680 --> 00:22:32.559
<v Speaker 1>scary reality. Even though it's a beautiful movie. It's a

340
00:22:32.680 --> 00:22:36.000
<v Speaker 1>very sweet trauma about young love and big promise of

341
00:22:36.559 --> 00:22:39.839
<v Speaker 1>you know, the big promise of parenthood and what hard

342
00:22:39.880 --> 00:22:45.519
<v Speaker 1>work can bring you. Many moments where he's with his

343
00:22:45.599 --> 00:22:50.079
<v Speaker 1>wife and their little daughter is born, and they're in

344
00:22:50.119 --> 00:22:53.000
<v Speaker 1>bed speaking about what kind of girl she's going to be,

345
00:22:53.000 --> 00:22:55.440
<v Speaker 1>what kind of women, what they want to do, and

346
00:22:55.960 --> 00:22:59.319
<v Speaker 1>they put rocks around this patch of land and the

347
00:22:59.400 --> 00:23:02.000
<v Speaker 1>rock symbol how they want their house to be built.

348
00:23:02.039 --> 00:23:06.720
<v Speaker 1>And they build this house by fucking hand like pioneers

349
00:23:06.720 --> 00:23:11.279
<v Speaker 1>did back then, and it's beautiful. From log cabin they

350
00:23:11.359 --> 00:23:17.160
<v Speaker 1>built for themselves to house that baby, and it makes

351
00:23:17.200 --> 00:23:18.960
<v Speaker 1>me remember what it was like when I had my

352
00:23:19.039 --> 00:23:21.880
<v Speaker 1>children with my wife, and those nights where you just

353
00:23:21.920 --> 00:23:25.640
<v Speaker 1>sit up in wonder and stare at that baby's face

354
00:23:25.680 --> 00:23:31.559
<v Speaker 1>and the giggles and the crying and everything. It got

355
00:23:31.599 --> 00:23:34.240
<v Speaker 1>to a point where I was a very hands on father.

356
00:23:35.000 --> 00:23:37.279
<v Speaker 1>The minute I heard my babies cry, I was up.

357
00:23:38.119 --> 00:23:41.039
<v Speaker 1>I never believed and let them cry till they fall asleep.

358
00:23:41.160 --> 00:23:44.319
<v Speaker 1>I can't do that. I picked them up, immediately, made

359
00:23:44.319 --> 00:23:46.279
<v Speaker 1>them a bottle, made sure it was warm on the

360
00:23:46.319 --> 00:23:49.039
<v Speaker 1>inside of my wrist, took them to the couch, you know,

361
00:23:49.240 --> 00:23:53.400
<v Speaker 1>sang to them, and fed them all swaddled up. Those

362
00:23:53.400 --> 00:24:00.799
<v Speaker 1>are just such amazing times that you share with somebody

363
00:24:01.279 --> 00:24:04.400
<v Speaker 1>now that marriages go bad and that's where you got left.

364
00:24:04.400 --> 00:24:10.920
<v Speaker 1>There's those memories, but they're tremendous memories. But when you

365
00:24:10.960 --> 00:24:16.119
<v Speaker 1>think about this plot, it's almost like a horror movie

366
00:24:16.359 --> 00:24:21.240
<v Speaker 1>because how quickly the world is moving. There's no jump scares,

367
00:24:21.279 --> 00:24:27.599
<v Speaker 1>there's no petrifying clowns or little kids with knives or

368
00:24:27.680 --> 00:24:32.079
<v Speaker 1>you know, there were no walls where blood runs down them.

369
00:24:32.160 --> 00:24:35.599
<v Speaker 1>There's no cycle that stabs the little kids. After he

370
00:24:35.680 --> 00:24:39.559
<v Speaker 1>pulls them down a storm drain. You know, no red balloons.

371
00:24:39.559 --> 00:24:44.079
<v Speaker 1>It ain't that kind of scary. But it's just a

372
00:24:44.079 --> 00:24:46.839
<v Speaker 1>man who came to America to make this country great

373
00:24:46.920 --> 00:24:52.079
<v Speaker 1>and to keep his family's head above water. And fifteen

374
00:24:52.160 --> 00:24:57.119
<v Speaker 1>minutes in you can already see him drowning in doubt

375
00:24:57.319 --> 00:25:02.200
<v Speaker 1>and worry and heavy concern. And I ask you, is

376
00:25:02.240 --> 00:25:06.400
<v Speaker 1>this any different than the way many men and women

377
00:25:06.839 --> 00:25:12.640
<v Speaker 1>are feeling today? And this movie is seeing men. You know,

378
00:25:12.640 --> 00:25:17.880
<v Speaker 1>they're taking down big trees in Idaho, and they got

379
00:25:17.960 --> 00:25:22.359
<v Speaker 1>handsaws and axes and hatchets, and you know, some men die.

380
00:25:22.440 --> 00:25:25.240
<v Speaker 1>In fact, there were Asian men on the job who

381
00:25:25.240 --> 00:25:28.640
<v Speaker 1>were you know, there was bad time back then in

382
00:25:28.680 --> 00:25:32.039
<v Speaker 1>America and you know they have to be taken away

383
00:25:32.119 --> 00:25:34.480
<v Speaker 1>or killed. And some of these guys were thrown off

384
00:25:34.519 --> 00:25:38.039
<v Speaker 1>a cliff. And I'm not sure how truthful that is,

385
00:25:38.079 --> 00:25:40.279
<v Speaker 1>but there's one guy in this movie, this one Asian

386
00:25:40.319 --> 00:25:42.640
<v Speaker 1>man who gets thrown off a cliff, and that memory

387
00:25:42.680 --> 00:25:49.359
<v Speaker 1>never leaves our lead character's brain. But yeah, Asians back

388
00:25:49.400 --> 00:25:54.640
<v Speaker 1>then were very good with explosives. They were the men

389
00:25:54.839 --> 00:25:57.759
<v Speaker 1>that went into caves and put dynamite in there so

390
00:25:57.799 --> 00:26:01.000
<v Speaker 1>they can blow things up and keep it moving, keep

391
00:26:01.039 --> 00:26:07.440
<v Speaker 1>the train tracks able to be built, et cetera. So

392
00:26:07.559 --> 00:26:09.400
<v Speaker 1>the why Asians got that job. They were good with

393
00:26:09.480 --> 00:26:15.359
<v Speaker 1>gunpowder from China. Same thing with Native Americans are very

394
00:26:15.400 --> 00:26:19.799
<v Speaker 1>good at heights. They would paint bridges and a lot

395
00:26:19.839 --> 00:26:22.720
<v Speaker 1>of high structures. For some reason, Native Americans are flying

396
00:26:22.799 --> 00:26:25.839
<v Speaker 1>with heights. I don't know, it's a thing. Italians like

397
00:26:25.880 --> 00:26:29.880
<v Speaker 1>working with marble. I don't know. Mexicans like working outside.

398
00:26:29.880 --> 00:26:34.839
<v Speaker 1>What can I tell you? But they're taking down these

399
00:26:34.839 --> 00:26:38.480
<v Speaker 1>big trees, right And when they sleep at night, you know,

400
00:26:38.559 --> 00:26:42.519
<v Speaker 1>it's they're sitting there with these lanterns that are powered

401
00:26:42.519 --> 00:26:47.960
<v Speaker 1>by oil, you know, and they're intents. They sleep in

402
00:26:48.039 --> 00:26:51.559
<v Speaker 1>tents that were once used for the Civil War for

403
00:26:51.680 --> 00:26:54.519
<v Speaker 1>soldiers to sleep in during the Civil War. In fact,

404
00:26:54.559 --> 00:26:58.400
<v Speaker 1>those tents were used before that, during the span during

405
00:26:58.440 --> 00:27:05.000
<v Speaker 1>the Indian conflicts. Something we never think about, right, And

406
00:27:05.559 --> 00:27:10.799
<v Speaker 1>it's an old man in this movie played by William H.

407
00:27:10.880 --> 00:27:13.039
<v Speaker 1>Macy And I'm telling you right now he will be

408
00:27:13.200 --> 00:27:16.319
<v Speaker 1>nominated for an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor and

409
00:27:16.359 --> 00:27:19.680
<v Speaker 1>I think he'll win. It's not a long roller. It's

410
00:27:19.720 --> 00:27:23.759
<v Speaker 1>probably in the movie sixteen minutes. But the words they

411
00:27:23.799 --> 00:27:26.039
<v Speaker 1>gave him to say the dialogue, and the way he

412
00:27:26.079 --> 00:27:30.640
<v Speaker 1>does it, it's fantastic. Old Salty Man has been out

413
00:27:30.640 --> 00:27:34.799
<v Speaker 1>there a long time and he's in one of those tenths.

414
00:27:34.880 --> 00:27:37.079
<v Speaker 1>He's singing, and the guys don't want him to sing.

415
00:27:37.319 --> 00:27:39.519
<v Speaker 1>The Minnesota boys he calls, and they don't want to

416
00:27:39.519 --> 00:27:42.440
<v Speaker 1>hear him singing. So he takes his harmonica out and

417
00:27:42.480 --> 00:27:45.359
<v Speaker 1>plays the harmonica late at night as these boys are

418
00:27:45.400 --> 00:27:48.680
<v Speaker 1>going to sleep, And it just made me think of

419
00:27:50.039 --> 00:27:53.400
<v Speaker 1>how much better off were we when there were people

420
00:27:53.960 --> 00:27:56.039
<v Speaker 1>who would lay down a night and listen to a

421
00:27:56.119 --> 00:27:59.920
<v Speaker 1>harmonica and fall asleep, rather than have to check tick

422
00:28:00.200 --> 00:28:03.319
<v Speaker 1>talk or Instagram or the little bullshit we have on

423
00:28:03.359 --> 00:28:07.200
<v Speaker 1>our iPhones, Twitter, what have you. They just went to

424
00:28:07.279 --> 00:28:12.400
<v Speaker 1>bed with the soft sounds of a harmonica, not crazy

425
00:28:12.519 --> 00:28:16.119
<v Speaker 1>liberal fags and trans shouting how much to hate America

426
00:28:16.119 --> 00:28:18.920
<v Speaker 1>and hate Trump and all the other noise and nonsense

427
00:28:18.960 --> 00:28:22.519
<v Speaker 1>we have out there in the palm of our hands.

428
00:28:25.440 --> 00:28:28.119
<v Speaker 1>Those phones they gave to us that we pay a

429
00:28:28.160 --> 00:28:32.160
<v Speaker 1>lot of money for just slow us down. I know,

430
00:28:32.240 --> 00:28:35.119
<v Speaker 1>we use them and they're very valuable in terms of work.

431
00:28:35.640 --> 00:28:37.720
<v Speaker 1>You could do the same shit on your laptop, but

432
00:28:37.759 --> 00:28:40.119
<v Speaker 1>you don't carry around with you all day. Either way,

433
00:28:41.319 --> 00:28:45.680
<v Speaker 1>it's made our culture very lazy, and there's a lot

434
00:28:45.680 --> 00:28:50.599
<v Speaker 1>of learning. When you watch this movie Train Dreams, it's

435
00:28:50.759 --> 00:28:53.240
<v Speaker 1>just about a lot of hard nosed men and women

436
00:28:53.279 --> 00:28:55.480
<v Speaker 1>who came here to put this country together and make

437
00:28:55.519 --> 00:28:58.319
<v Speaker 1>it the best place in the world. And now you

438
00:28:58.400 --> 00:29:02.240
<v Speaker 1>see the fruits of their labor and others who came

439
00:29:02.279 --> 00:29:07.960
<v Speaker 1>after them, our grandparents, our parents, and then us. And

440
00:29:08.000 --> 00:29:10.160
<v Speaker 1>you look at all the living and the nonsense in

441
00:29:10.240 --> 00:29:13.799
<v Speaker 1>so many cities and states around the country, and you

442
00:29:13.839 --> 00:29:20.440
<v Speaker 1>can feel your bones. It's just not going right. You

443
00:29:20.480 --> 00:29:22.960
<v Speaker 1>feel a change. I got to bed back. I can

444
00:29:23.039 --> 00:29:25.079
<v Speaker 1>feel it in my bones. When the wedd is about

445
00:29:25.079 --> 00:29:29.839
<v Speaker 1>to change. My sister feels in her hands. You can

446
00:29:29.960 --> 00:29:38.319
<v Speaker 1>feel it. America's changed. The first big change was COVID,

447
00:29:39.359 --> 00:29:42.039
<v Speaker 1>where we learned that our lives are not protected and secured.

448
00:29:42.119 --> 00:29:46.039
<v Speaker 1>After all, the government really doesn't know what to do

449
00:29:47.720 --> 00:29:49.079
<v Speaker 1>when they have to take care of us, and it

450
00:29:49.119 --> 00:29:53.119
<v Speaker 1>split second they don't know what to do. And then

451
00:29:53.200 --> 00:29:59.319
<v Speaker 1>four years of Biden allowing millions of vicious, violent, uneducated

452
00:29:59.400 --> 00:30:03.720
<v Speaker 1>masses to come into this country did nothing about it.

453
00:30:03.759 --> 00:30:06.240
<v Speaker 1>A lot of these people don't contribute anything to our

454
00:30:06.279 --> 00:30:11.319
<v Speaker 1>livelihood or our culture, or America's beauty or our generosity.

455
00:30:11.359 --> 00:30:14.200
<v Speaker 1>They just take advantage of it. They take, they steal,

456
00:30:14.519 --> 00:30:17.440
<v Speaker 1>They make life harder for many other Americans who work

457
00:30:17.519 --> 00:30:21.880
<v Speaker 1>hard and as hard as life was back then then.

458
00:30:21.920 --> 00:30:24.960
<v Speaker 1>I bet those guys could never imagine that years and

459
00:30:25.079 --> 00:30:30.680
<v Speaker 1>years later, even though it was so hard and they

460
00:30:30.759 --> 00:30:34.640
<v Speaker 1>worked their asses off by hand cutting down trees and

461
00:30:35.039 --> 00:30:38.200
<v Speaker 1>living by gas lamps and not seeing their family, I

462
00:30:38.240 --> 00:30:40.720
<v Speaker 1>bet they look back as they got older and realized

463
00:30:40.720 --> 00:30:46.680
<v Speaker 1>that those times were maybe the best times of their lives, because,

464
00:30:46.839 --> 00:30:49.319
<v Speaker 1>as they say in the movie, the world that we

465
00:30:49.440 --> 00:30:53.359
<v Speaker 1>live in is very infinitely stitched together, and when you

466
00:30:53.400 --> 00:30:56.400
<v Speaker 1>pull out one thread you can you just don't know,

467
00:30:56.960 --> 00:30:59.359
<v Speaker 1>you might be fucking up the whole design of things. Man,

468
00:31:00.799 --> 00:31:06.400
<v Speaker 1>it's that intricate. It's a part of the movie where

469
00:31:06.400 --> 00:31:08.480
<v Speaker 1>a tree falls on a man, a tree branch, a

470
00:31:08.519 --> 00:31:10.480
<v Speaker 1>big branch falls on a man and kills him, and

471
00:31:10.480 --> 00:31:13.799
<v Speaker 1>they call those the widow makers. Because it happened a

472
00:31:13.839 --> 00:31:19.039
<v Speaker 1>lot back then. Reminded me of me and Jack, my

473
00:31:19.039 --> 00:31:21.240
<v Speaker 1>brother in law, were in Manhattan back when he was

474
00:31:21.279 --> 00:31:24.920
<v Speaker 1>getting cancer treatments and my father was getting the same,

475
00:31:25.039 --> 00:31:28.759
<v Speaker 1>and the three of us were going to Manhattan, and

476
00:31:30.000 --> 00:31:32.480
<v Speaker 1>one day me and Jack were together in the car

477
00:31:32.680 --> 00:31:39.119
<v Speaker 1>and about a block up ahead it was a big scaffolding.

478
00:31:40.079 --> 00:31:45.079
<v Speaker 1>And the scaffolding everywhere in Manhattan, it's disgusting. There's scaffolding everywhere,

479
00:31:45.279 --> 00:31:47.799
<v Speaker 1>but there's no scaffolding in Europe, and they're putting up

480
00:31:47.799 --> 00:31:51.279
<v Speaker 1>the biggest buildings in the world in Dubai and no scaffolding,

481
00:31:51.519 --> 00:31:55.000
<v Speaker 1>But in New York City scaffolds. But we saw a

482
00:31:55.039 --> 00:31:59.920
<v Speaker 1>big piece of plywood start to fall out of the

483
00:32:00.759 --> 00:32:05.839
<v Speaker 1>twenty stories, falling like a leaf. Guys, but this is

484
00:32:05.880 --> 00:32:09.119
<v Speaker 1>a deadly piece of lumber and it hit a man

485
00:32:09.200 --> 00:32:11.279
<v Speaker 1>and we really couldn't see it because he was like

486
00:32:11.319 --> 00:32:14.119
<v Speaker 1>a block ahead, but we heard it and the shrieks

487
00:32:14.119 --> 00:32:19.519
<v Speaker 1>of the people. That guy died, and you just go, God, damn,

488
00:32:20.079 --> 00:32:24.279
<v Speaker 1>how easy is it to just die? And it doesn't matter.

489
00:32:24.400 --> 00:32:26.880
<v Speaker 1>We're all gonna go on and do what we gotta do.

490
00:32:27.160 --> 00:32:30.559
<v Speaker 1>The light turned green. I got an appointment. This guy's dead. Well,

491
00:32:30.599 --> 00:32:39.440
<v Speaker 1>I gotta go someplace. It's very disheartening, you know, it's

492
00:32:39.480 --> 00:32:45.440
<v Speaker 1>weird our brains. I'm gonna get deep here. I heard

493
00:32:45.480 --> 00:32:48.400
<v Speaker 1>of Jay Morris podcast. He was talking to the football

494
00:32:48.880 --> 00:32:51.599
<v Speaker 1>player Julian Edelman, who played for the Patriots, won a

495
00:32:51.599 --> 00:32:56.720
<v Speaker 1>bunch of Super Bowls. Great guy, short but fast as

496
00:32:56.759 --> 00:33:00.720
<v Speaker 1>the wind and tough as nails and played quarterback in college,

497
00:33:00.720 --> 00:33:02.440
<v Speaker 1>but knew he couldn't be a quarterback in the Pro,

498
00:33:02.559 --> 00:33:05.720
<v Speaker 1>so he developed a talent to repurent return punts and

499
00:33:05.839 --> 00:33:08.799
<v Speaker 1>be a receiver, and him and Tom Brady lit up

500
00:33:08.799 --> 00:33:13.079
<v Speaker 1>the scoreboard for years. He talked about one day a

501
00:33:13.160 --> 00:33:19.000
<v Speaker 1>teammate got a concussion and I'm just I'm just saying

502
00:33:19.039 --> 00:33:21.200
<v Speaker 1>this story to tell you how much, how little we

503
00:33:21.279 --> 00:33:24.359
<v Speaker 1>know about the human brain. This guy got racked up

504
00:33:25.400 --> 00:33:27.640
<v Speaker 1>and they go take him to the sidelines and they're

505
00:33:27.640 --> 00:33:30.440
<v Speaker 1>talking to him. He finally comes to with smelling sauce.

506
00:33:30.480 --> 00:33:35.039
<v Speaker 1>They're talking to him, where are you? And he said,

507
00:33:35.759 --> 00:33:39.519
<v Speaker 1>he's at a football stadium with a dome. And he said,

508
00:33:39.799 --> 00:33:41.359
<v Speaker 1>I'm going to get the name of the town wrong.

509
00:33:42.400 --> 00:33:45.119
<v Speaker 1>I'm at the wood Haven Mall. And he said it

510
00:33:45.240 --> 00:33:49.119
<v Speaker 1>very indignantly, I'm at the wood Haven Mall. Uh huh,

511
00:33:49.160 --> 00:33:51.880
<v Speaker 1>you are, yeah, And he goes, where did they put

512
00:33:51.920 --> 00:33:55.119
<v Speaker 1>a dome over the fucking mall? The guy was gone.

513
00:33:55.720 --> 00:34:00.599
<v Speaker 1>His brain was on a whole different level. We just

514
00:34:00.640 --> 00:34:03.160
<v Speaker 1>don't know enough about our brains. Man. It's like I know,

515
00:34:03.200 --> 00:34:06.799
<v Speaker 1>we always say space is the next great frontier. Know

516
00:34:06.960 --> 00:34:13.559
<v Speaker 1>our brains are even the ocean is you. We got

517
00:34:13.559 --> 00:34:17.000
<v Speaker 1>to study brains more. I'm sure we do. I know

518
00:34:17.039 --> 00:34:19.159
<v Speaker 1>we do, but I wish it were more because there's

519
00:34:19.199 --> 00:34:23.440
<v Speaker 1>so much untapped information there. I don't know why I

520
00:34:23.480 --> 00:34:26.000
<v Speaker 1>got this discussion, but I know what. I saw a

521
00:34:26.079 --> 00:34:32.119
<v Speaker 1>video on Instagram where a an African parrot, some kind

522
00:34:32.159 --> 00:34:35.159
<v Speaker 1>of talking bird, the ones that lived to like fifty

523
00:34:35.199 --> 00:34:39.519
<v Speaker 1>sixty years old. This bird's very intelligent, could speak in

524
00:34:39.559 --> 00:34:42.280
<v Speaker 1>different languages, knows how to read. Just one of those

525
00:34:42.440 --> 00:34:46.559
<v Speaker 1>terrific birds. But he did something that they've never heard

526
00:34:46.599 --> 00:34:51.159
<v Speaker 1>a bird. Do birds know about what's going on right now?

527
00:34:51.360 --> 00:34:54.719
<v Speaker 1>That's my food, that's your ahead, that's the TV. I'm

528
00:34:54.719 --> 00:34:57.159
<v Speaker 1>gonna walk here, I'm gonna do this. They don't know

529
00:34:57.199 --> 00:35:01.400
<v Speaker 1>about yesterday and tomorrow. It's not what their brains can do.

530
00:35:01.639 --> 00:35:04.679
<v Speaker 1>But this fucking parrot said to his owner, what are

531
00:35:04.719 --> 00:35:08.760
<v Speaker 1>we doing tomorrow? I would have run out of the

532
00:35:08.840 --> 00:35:16.000
<v Speaker 1>house shrieking. Birds should know about tomorrow or yesterday? Anyhow?

533
00:35:16.119 --> 00:35:19.199
<v Speaker 1>Can we just work more on brains? I love like

534
00:35:19.519 --> 00:35:23.719
<v Speaker 1>another video. There's a little Pomeranian who's deaf. A family

535
00:35:23.760 --> 00:35:27.480
<v Speaker 1>owns this beautiful toy palm. She's old, she's deaf. She

536
00:35:27.559 --> 00:35:30.199
<v Speaker 1>lays on the loneium floor. She don't do nothing. There's

537
00:35:30.199 --> 00:35:32.559
<v Speaker 1>another Pomeranian who's young and act. It was like a

538
00:35:32.599 --> 00:35:36.000
<v Speaker 1>tutsi gizmo thing. And every time there's something happening in

539
00:35:36.000 --> 00:35:38.960
<v Speaker 1>the house or it's dinner time, the young Pomeranian goes

540
00:35:39.000 --> 00:35:41.199
<v Speaker 1>over to the deaf one and taps her head with

541
00:35:41.239 --> 00:35:43.800
<v Speaker 1>her paw to say, get up, there's something going on.

542
00:35:44.039 --> 00:35:47.559
<v Speaker 1>I know you can't hear, said the fucking how does

543
00:35:47.599 --> 00:35:51.199
<v Speaker 1>the dog know the other dog is deaf? I love

544
00:35:51.280 --> 00:35:59.000
<v Speaker 1>this stuff miracles. Anyhow, getting back to the movie, there's

545
00:35:59.000 --> 00:36:01.119
<v Speaker 1>a scene with this guy's in the middle of a

546
00:36:01.159 --> 00:36:03.559
<v Speaker 1>field and it's a field where him and his wife

547
00:36:03.599 --> 00:36:07.760
<v Speaker 1>built that house out of logs, you know, And he's

548
00:36:07.760 --> 00:36:09.920
<v Speaker 1>sitting there on a rock and he's just contemplating how

549
00:36:10.000 --> 00:36:12.440
<v Speaker 1>much he's lost in life. And again, it's no different

550
00:36:12.480 --> 00:36:16.639
<v Speaker 1>than what happened in Malibu and Pasadena. His house burned down,

551
00:36:16.679 --> 00:36:18.400
<v Speaker 1>and I'm going to spoil something for you, but he

552
00:36:18.480 --> 00:36:22.719
<v Speaker 1>lost his family, and is that different than what just

553
00:36:22.760 --> 00:36:26.920
<v Speaker 1>happened by the ocean on the PCH Pacific Coast Highway. No,

554
00:36:28.159 --> 00:36:30.920
<v Speaker 1>people lose everything and they got to rebuild. And as

555
00:36:31.000 --> 00:36:33.400
<v Speaker 1>hot as it is now, and it's near impossible now

556
00:36:33.400 --> 00:36:38.079
<v Speaker 1>with allways rules and laws and sanctions in LA, how

557
00:36:38.119 --> 00:36:43.239
<v Speaker 1>much tough it was back then. People were working for

558
00:36:43.280 --> 00:36:46.679
<v Speaker 1>four dollars a day, being away from home for months

559
00:36:46.719 --> 00:36:50.480
<v Speaker 1>on end. What a rough life. But they still were

560
00:36:50.519 --> 00:36:54.760
<v Speaker 1>able to see opportunity and work for a living and

561
00:36:54.840 --> 00:36:58.840
<v Speaker 1>get things done so that their lives would be memorable.

562
00:36:59.400 --> 00:37:03.519
<v Speaker 1>It's so different now. And look at that guy sitting

563
00:37:03.519 --> 00:37:06.719
<v Speaker 1>on the rock, not really showing much emotion on his face,

564
00:37:06.719 --> 00:37:09.679
<v Speaker 1>and I know exactly what he feels like, even though

565
00:37:10.079 --> 00:37:13.599
<v Speaker 1>I can't exactly recognize the emotion, but I know what

566
00:37:13.639 --> 00:37:17.880
<v Speaker 1>he's feeling. And this is what women need to hear.

567
00:37:18.159 --> 00:37:20.280
<v Speaker 1>And I just say this, women, you need to hear this.

568
00:37:20.800 --> 00:37:25.800
<v Speaker 1>Even children need to hear this. Your men in your

569
00:37:25.880 --> 00:37:29.920
<v Speaker 1>life carry much more than you could ever fathom in

570
00:37:29.960 --> 00:37:34.400
<v Speaker 1>their hearts, in their chests. We carry shit that we

571
00:37:34.599 --> 00:37:38.280
<v Speaker 1>can't unload, and we don't want to unload or unpack

572
00:37:38.400 --> 00:37:40.880
<v Speaker 1>in front of people we love because we don't want

573
00:37:40.920 --> 00:37:46.679
<v Speaker 1>them to get nervous. We're not just carrying responsibility or

574
00:37:46.719 --> 00:37:51.000
<v Speaker 1>caring for a family, but we're also loving around all

575
00:37:51.039 --> 00:37:54.159
<v Speaker 1>the hurt and the problems and the drama and the

576
00:37:54.360 --> 00:37:58.639
<v Speaker 1>doubts and the mystery of our past and the mystery

577
00:37:58.679 --> 00:38:04.320
<v Speaker 1>of the future. And that's the thing about men. We

578
00:38:04.360 --> 00:38:07.480
<v Speaker 1>don't talk to each other. What's up, bro? Good? How

579
00:38:07.519 --> 00:38:10.480
<v Speaker 1>you doing good? Bro good? Bro? We don't talk. You

580
00:38:10.559 --> 00:38:12.480
<v Speaker 1>girls get together in front of the mirror while you

581
00:38:12.559 --> 00:38:14.800
<v Speaker 1>put in makeup on. You both know what's going on

582
00:38:14.840 --> 00:38:18.280
<v Speaker 1>in both your lives in the last twenty years. Men

583
00:38:18.360 --> 00:38:21.840
<v Speaker 1>don't do that. How you doing bro? Good? Good? Alarm? Okay?

584
00:38:21.880 --> 00:38:25.559
<v Speaker 1>You know that's all we say. No one ever says,

585
00:38:25.559 --> 00:38:27.039
<v Speaker 1>can I talk to you a second? I'm having a

586
00:38:27.079 --> 00:38:31.639
<v Speaker 1>real rough time. We just let our emotions bounce around

587
00:38:31.679 --> 00:38:34.199
<v Speaker 1>our head like a pinball for years on it end,

588
00:38:34.199 --> 00:38:36.079
<v Speaker 1>and we try to make peace with them on a

589
00:38:36.159 --> 00:38:39.599
<v Speaker 1>daily basis. It's like we try to calm down an

590
00:38:39.639 --> 00:38:44.239
<v Speaker 1>angry dog. It's always snarling. We just try to calm

591
00:38:44.239 --> 00:38:51.199
<v Speaker 1>it down. That's how I see it, anyhow. But if

592
00:38:51.239 --> 00:38:53.800
<v Speaker 1>women and children knew what their husbands or fathers are

593
00:38:53.840 --> 00:38:56.719
<v Speaker 1>carrying around in their heads, they treat them with more care.

594
00:38:57.880 --> 00:39:03.519
<v Speaker 1>Because we don't. We we don't want to walk around

595
00:39:03.519 --> 00:39:07.360
<v Speaker 1>with problems. But we have to because we have to

596
00:39:07.400 --> 00:39:11.039
<v Speaker 1>negotiate how to solve everybody else's problems while we juggle

597
00:39:11.039 --> 00:39:17.719
<v Speaker 1>our own. That's a dad, that's a man. Anyhow, before

598
00:39:17.719 --> 00:39:19.840
<v Speaker 1>I slip, there's another part in this movie where an

599
00:39:19.880 --> 00:39:22.559
<v Speaker 1>Indian chief comes to visit this guy in the woods

600
00:39:22.559 --> 00:39:25.199
<v Speaker 1>because it gets sense that he's troubled. And that's exactly

601
00:39:25.239 --> 00:39:27.360
<v Speaker 1>what happened with my uncle Larry and that Indian chief

602
00:39:27.360 --> 00:39:29.199
<v Speaker 1>who came out of the deep woods in New Jersey

603
00:39:29.239 --> 00:39:31.760
<v Speaker 1>to help him. I wrote that in my first chapter

604
00:39:31.800 --> 00:39:34.840
<v Speaker 1>of my second book, which I love that chapter so much,

605
00:39:34.880 --> 00:39:37.840
<v Speaker 1>and no one talks about that chapter. I think people

606
00:39:37.920 --> 00:39:41.960
<v Speaker 1>just breeze right past it. It's a beautiful chapter about

607
00:39:41.960 --> 00:39:45.320
<v Speaker 1>how this Indian chief gave my uncle natural things from

608
00:39:45.360 --> 00:39:48.599
<v Speaker 1>the forest to make him feel better, burdock rude and

609
00:39:48.679 --> 00:39:52.599
<v Speaker 1>all these different roots and plants and leaves and berries

610
00:39:53.159 --> 00:39:58.119
<v Speaker 1>that he knew having lived off the land. It's amazing

611
00:39:58.239 --> 00:40:01.079
<v Speaker 1>he found my uncle because as he could sense, he

612
00:40:01.159 --> 00:40:04.880
<v Speaker 1>was ill. Ah. God, things like that make me insane.

613
00:40:05.760 --> 00:40:07.280
<v Speaker 1>So this guy in the movie has to find a

614
00:40:07.320 --> 00:40:09.800
<v Speaker 1>spot next to a lake where he can fish for

615
00:40:09.840 --> 00:40:13.280
<v Speaker 1>speckled trout. Maybe he gets some mushrooms he could eat.

616
00:40:14.199 --> 00:40:17.719
<v Speaker 1>But that's his life now. And it's just a reminder

617
00:40:17.719 --> 00:40:20.679
<v Speaker 1>of how many hurdles and obstacles we have to jump over,

618
00:40:20.760 --> 00:40:23.519
<v Speaker 1>and walls we have to push down, walls we have

619
00:40:23.599 --> 00:40:27.599
<v Speaker 1>to knock down. That's why these Marvel movies don't impress me,

620
00:40:27.639 --> 00:40:30.920
<v Speaker 1>because we're all doing whatever we can do to survive,

621
00:40:31.000 --> 00:40:35.440
<v Speaker 1>and we don't have bulging muscles or hidden powers. We're

622
00:40:35.519 --> 00:40:39.320
<v Speaker 1>just fucking regular people with determination and grit and a

623
00:40:39.360 --> 00:40:43.519
<v Speaker 1>sense of urgency and responsibility that just makes us move

624
00:40:43.559 --> 00:40:48.039
<v Speaker 1>our s. So this guy rebuilds his home with the

625
00:40:48.079 --> 00:40:51.360
<v Speaker 1>help of the Indian chief, but he couldn't bring himself

626
00:40:51.400 --> 00:40:54.599
<v Speaker 1>to build a bedroom without his wife and daughter around

627
00:40:55.679 --> 00:41:01.079
<v Speaker 1>years go by. Can't do it. He's still waiting, he's

628
00:41:01.119 --> 00:41:03.559
<v Speaker 1>still thinks they're going to turn up in the woods somewhere.

629
00:41:04.440 --> 00:41:07.000
<v Speaker 1>And it just reminded me that we all have something

630
00:41:07.000 --> 00:41:10.039
<v Speaker 1>we're waiting for. We all got something we can't wait

631
00:41:10.079 --> 00:41:13.239
<v Speaker 1>to find to happen, to open up, you know, just

632
00:41:13.480 --> 00:41:16.639
<v Speaker 1>a bunch of emotions in our life, some relief in

633
00:41:16.679 --> 00:41:19.679
<v Speaker 1>our life. Maybe we can finish this run on a

634
00:41:19.719 --> 00:41:26.320
<v Speaker 1>high note. We're all working toward that end goal, right

635
00:41:29.639 --> 00:41:33.480
<v Speaker 1>This movie is really something, you know. There's a part

636
00:41:33.519 --> 00:41:35.960
<v Speaker 1>of the film where they the world has finally gotten

637
00:41:36.039 --> 00:41:38.679
<v Speaker 1>to a point where these men can now use gas

638
00:41:38.760 --> 00:41:41.880
<v Speaker 1>power chain saws to cut down these big, mighty trees.

639
00:41:41.920 --> 00:41:44.400
<v Speaker 1>And there's a scene where the main character is trying

640
00:41:44.400 --> 00:41:47.000
<v Speaker 1>to get that motor started and the younger guy comes

641
00:41:47.079 --> 00:41:49.159
<v Speaker 1>up behind him and says, watch out, old man, I'll

642
00:41:49.159 --> 00:41:53.639
<v Speaker 1>get this cracking for you. Of course it works, but

643
00:41:53.679 --> 00:41:56.199
<v Speaker 1>when you see all these men using saws and access

644
00:41:56.280 --> 00:41:58.880
<v Speaker 1>and hatches to cut down trees and branches, and then

645
00:41:58.920 --> 00:42:00.920
<v Speaker 1>you go to a man who put takes a gas

646
00:42:00.920 --> 00:42:04.039
<v Speaker 1>power chainsaw and does in three minutes what these guys

647
00:42:04.039 --> 00:42:08.039
<v Speaker 1>did in one hour. It's just another example of how

648
00:42:08.360 --> 00:42:13.840
<v Speaker 1>that's happening nowadays, with technology and with people and with AI.

649
00:42:16.159 --> 00:42:19.000
<v Speaker 1>When we made wine in our backyard a longsle and

650
00:42:19.039 --> 00:42:22.920
<v Speaker 1>it was from a grapevine my father planted years earlier

651
00:42:23.679 --> 00:42:28.360
<v Speaker 1>in our backyard straight to Rosalie's backyard, and there was

652
00:42:28.440 --> 00:42:32.239
<v Speaker 1>all fishing line set up and pieces of thin lumber

653
00:42:32.320 --> 00:42:35.519
<v Speaker 1>that we would leave the vines to to keep it moving.

654
00:42:35.559 --> 00:42:38.719
<v Speaker 1>And it took years. You just watched that vine grow

655
00:42:38.880 --> 00:42:42.840
<v Speaker 1>year after year. Finally it's crawled across that lumber and

656
00:42:43.039 --> 00:42:45.239
<v Speaker 1>the fishing lines got it, and then it goes up

657
00:42:45.280 --> 00:42:48.159
<v Speaker 1>on the telephone lines and the cable wires, and now

658
00:42:48.199 --> 00:42:51.599
<v Speaker 1>it's hitting Rosalie's deck. And now we're getting beautiful blue

659
00:42:51.679 --> 00:42:57.119
<v Speaker 1>purple grapes. They're gonna make fantastic wine. And my father

660
00:42:57.159 --> 00:43:00.519
<v Speaker 1>would have me pull down those grapes. It was kind

661
00:43:00.519 --> 00:43:04.920
<v Speaker 1>of painstaking, and we dumped them in these big steel

662
00:43:05.559 --> 00:43:08.400
<v Speaker 1>or metal barrels he had. And as we did this,

663
00:43:08.920 --> 00:43:13.599
<v Speaker 1>my father would have I'm not lying, sixty seventy bees

664
00:43:13.960 --> 00:43:17.000
<v Speaker 1>on his forearms, honey bees around his neck. They were

665
00:43:17.079 --> 00:43:21.920
<v Speaker 1>just smelling the grapes, licking. They loved. The bees stayed

666
00:43:21.960 --> 00:43:25.679
<v Speaker 1>in the grapevine, so that arbor was so scary to

667
00:43:25.719 --> 00:43:30.519
<v Speaker 1>walk under all your herbs. But they did their thing.

668
00:43:30.599 --> 00:43:32.719
<v Speaker 1>They were doing their work. But when they came to

669
00:43:32.800 --> 00:43:37.679
<v Speaker 1>my father's arms, they didn't sting him once. It's amazing.

670
00:43:40.199 --> 00:43:44.239
<v Speaker 1>The bees just let him do what he needed to do.

671
00:43:44.280 --> 00:43:47.719
<v Speaker 1>I get. Did they understand that we're making our own

672
00:43:47.760 --> 00:43:51.519
<v Speaker 1>wine and we'd have this operation working in long garage?

673
00:43:51.519 --> 00:43:55.360
<v Speaker 1>There was at least I don't know, fifteen big five

674
00:43:55.480 --> 00:43:58.800
<v Speaker 1>gallon glass bottles, all of them had wine in them

675
00:43:58.840 --> 00:44:02.199
<v Speaker 1>being fermented from our grapes, and when the grape season ended,

676
00:44:02.239 --> 00:44:05.840
<v Speaker 1>my father would use pumpkins that he planted. We planted

677
00:44:05.880 --> 00:44:09.599
<v Speaker 1>pumpkin and pumpkin. He made a nice white pumpkin wine.

678
00:44:09.639 --> 00:44:12.480
<v Speaker 1>People thought we were crazy. No, now you look at

679
00:44:12.480 --> 00:44:16.119
<v Speaker 1>the stores they sell pumpkin wine. Back in nineteen seventy eight, No,

680
00:44:16.440 --> 00:44:19.199
<v Speaker 1>there was no pumpkin wine on the shelves. My father

681
00:44:19.320 --> 00:44:22.719
<v Speaker 1>knew how to do it, and that wine got you

682
00:44:22.800 --> 00:44:26.519
<v Speaker 1>drunk real quick, oh, very strong. And I know there

683
00:44:26.519 --> 00:44:31.239
<v Speaker 1>are machines that can compress these grapes and make wine

684
00:44:31.280 --> 00:44:34.519
<v Speaker 1>at a much quicker rate and save these people who

685
00:44:34.599 --> 00:44:38.400
<v Speaker 1>owned vineyards a lot of money. But that's not what

686
00:44:38.480 --> 00:44:40.920
<v Speaker 1>we want to see, is it. We want to see

687
00:44:40.960 --> 00:44:44.000
<v Speaker 1>wine and wonderful food being served to us by people

688
00:44:44.159 --> 00:44:47.320
<v Speaker 1>who use their hands and work it with love, like

689
00:44:47.440 --> 00:44:50.719
<v Speaker 1>Lucy Bull did with her feet on that episode of

690
00:44:50.760 --> 00:44:54.480
<v Speaker 1>I Love Lucy. We want to see hard work. And

691
00:44:54.559 --> 00:44:57.079
<v Speaker 1>I see a lot of instances in this movie Train

692
00:44:57.239 --> 00:45:02.880
<v Speaker 1>dreams that what's happening in real time right now. It's

693
00:45:03.000 --> 00:45:07.079
<v Speaker 1>getting scary and depressing because it's very different out there,

694
00:45:07.679 --> 00:45:11.239
<v Speaker 1>and it begs the question. Sometimes you can't figure out

695
00:45:11.679 --> 00:45:15.360
<v Speaker 1>if it's different or if it's always been this way.

696
00:45:15.519 --> 00:45:18.039
<v Speaker 1>You start to think about how when you were younger

697
00:45:18.400 --> 00:45:23.159
<v Speaker 1>and tougher and rougher, it was different. You could understand

698
00:45:23.199 --> 00:45:28.000
<v Speaker 1>and figure out a lot of the bullshit that life

699
00:45:28.159 --> 00:45:31.400
<v Speaker 1>threw in our way. And at one point in the movie,

700
00:45:31.440 --> 00:45:35.480
<v Speaker 1>some old man that this character meets you met years ago,

701
00:45:35.679 --> 00:45:38.920
<v Speaker 1>comes back in the forest and didn't recognize him at first,

702
00:45:38.920 --> 00:45:42.079
<v Speaker 1>and he asked about a character. He asked about William H.

703
00:45:42.119 --> 00:45:47.159
<v Speaker 1>Macy's character, have you seen so and so? And the

704
00:45:47.239 --> 00:45:52.000
<v Speaker 1>main character knows that he's gone, but this guy's having

705
00:45:52.079 --> 00:45:54.639
<v Speaker 1>some sort of delusion, so he says, no, I haven't

706
00:45:54.639 --> 00:45:57.519
<v Speaker 1>seen him, because he knows the guy saw him the

707
00:45:57.639 --> 00:45:59.559
<v Speaker 1>day that he died, but he forgot it or put

708
00:45:59.559 --> 00:46:01.920
<v Speaker 1>it out of his mind because life was too tough

709
00:46:02.000 --> 00:46:07.360
<v Speaker 1>back then. So she says, no, I don't know, I

710
00:46:07.400 --> 00:46:11.800
<v Speaker 1>haven't seen him. It just makes you think about the

711
00:46:11.880 --> 00:46:16.519
<v Speaker 1>people during those times, how they would probably have to

712
00:46:16.559 --> 00:46:21.159
<v Speaker 1>forget about a lot of scary, sad things that happen

713
00:46:21.239 --> 00:46:24.960
<v Speaker 1>in front of their eyes. It makes you think about

714
00:46:24.960 --> 00:46:31.480
<v Speaker 1>those people, how much they're scrubbing in their rear view mirror.

715
00:46:32.159 --> 00:46:34.840
<v Speaker 1>You know, in our cars there's that sign on the

716
00:46:34.840 --> 00:46:38.719
<v Speaker 1>mirrors that say objects and mirror are closer than they appear. Well,

717
00:46:38.719 --> 00:46:41.920
<v Speaker 1>that's true, but objects in people and memories in our

718
00:46:41.960 --> 00:46:47.119
<v Speaker 1>rearview mirror are further away than they appear. Especially as

719
00:46:47.159 --> 00:46:53.199
<v Speaker 1>you get older, they get very fleeting. My buddy tough

720
00:46:53.280 --> 00:46:55.960
<v Speaker 1>Tony sent me a picture of about fifty friends of ours,

721
00:46:56.079 --> 00:46:59.119
<v Speaker 1>former classmates at West is Of High School, all gather

722
00:46:59.199 --> 00:47:02.239
<v Speaker 1>in his backyard this past week, and I didn't make it.

723
00:47:02.280 --> 00:47:05.960
<v Speaker 1>I'm so mad I didn't make it. They make that

724
00:47:06.039 --> 00:47:08.639
<v Speaker 1>pilgrimage to Tony's house every year. It's a great picture

725
00:47:08.679 --> 00:47:11.280
<v Speaker 1>to see because I'm trying to remember all their faces

726
00:47:11.280 --> 00:47:14.760
<v Speaker 1>and names right, And to my amazement, there were a

727
00:47:14.800 --> 00:47:20.559
<v Speaker 1>ton of men I couldn't recognize. Yeah, their midsections were bigger,

728
00:47:21.159 --> 00:47:26.239
<v Speaker 1>many of them had no hair, Some looked beaten down, weathered.

729
00:47:28.719 --> 00:47:30.599
<v Speaker 1>They just really looked like a bunch of old men

730
00:47:30.639 --> 00:47:35.360
<v Speaker 1>in someone's backyard. Not the kind of men you'd fuck with.

731
00:47:36.239 --> 00:47:39.280
<v Speaker 1>But that's besides the point. But I just don't know

732
00:47:39.400 --> 00:47:47.920
<v Speaker 1>and cannot remember when we all got this old. Oh boy. Finally,

733
00:47:47.920 --> 00:47:51.360
<v Speaker 1>I want to end this with saying that one of

734
00:47:51.400 --> 00:47:54.400
<v Speaker 1>my patrons, I think it's Deborah Cruk, sent me a

735
00:47:54.480 --> 00:47:59.239
<v Speaker 1>letter she enjoyed my latest sub stack called Hollywood Knights.

736
00:47:59.280 --> 00:48:02.360
<v Speaker 1>It's about a night that I had many years ago

737
00:48:02.400 --> 00:48:04.639
<v Speaker 1>in the nineties where I was at a producer's house

738
00:48:04.679 --> 00:48:08.039
<v Speaker 1>and he was pushing his wife off on me, and

739
00:48:08.079 --> 00:48:12.480
<v Speaker 1>I wrote very honestly about what happened that night, and

740
00:48:12.639 --> 00:48:16.119
<v Speaker 1>Debora wrote to me, I'm joining you. I'm joining because

741
00:48:16.119 --> 00:48:18.760
<v Speaker 1>of you. I seriously do not have time or money

742
00:48:18.760 --> 00:48:21.800
<v Speaker 1>for one more thing, let alone media. Deborah. I understand

743
00:48:21.800 --> 00:48:25.039
<v Speaker 1>I'm the same as you, but I can't help myself.

744
00:48:25.079 --> 00:48:27.280
<v Speaker 1>So I came and happily. I hear your voice in

745
00:48:27.360 --> 00:48:30.639
<v Speaker 1>every letter, quirky and raw and sexy, with an edge

746
00:48:30.639 --> 00:48:33.960
<v Speaker 1>that just might turn some women off, but I love it.

747
00:48:34.280 --> 00:48:36.800
<v Speaker 1>I've heard this story before, I never tired of it,

748
00:48:37.320 --> 00:48:40.079
<v Speaker 1>but this was definitely better, or maybe just hit speak

749
00:48:40.119 --> 00:48:44.679
<v Speaker 1>differently and new because I've never read your written words before.

750
00:48:44.960 --> 00:48:47.320
<v Speaker 1>I will need to buy your books and thank you

751
00:48:47.360 --> 00:48:51.280
<v Speaker 1>for the entertainment and literary visuals. I love it. That's

752
00:48:51.280 --> 00:48:53.480
<v Speaker 1>the message I want to bring to you, folks when

753
00:48:53.480 --> 00:48:55.920
<v Speaker 1>I tell you go to aj Benz at dot subset

754
00:48:55.960 --> 00:48:58.920
<v Speaker 1>dot com. It's about reading my words and not just

755
00:48:59.079 --> 00:49:03.280
<v Speaker 1>listening to me. There's a difference. I'm equally talented in

756
00:49:03.360 --> 00:49:07.159
<v Speaker 1>both arenas, and I dare to say the written word

757
00:49:08.159 --> 00:49:11.599
<v Speaker 1>was where it all began. And I don't have a problem.

758
00:49:11.679 --> 00:49:14.039
<v Speaker 1>But she wrote. I love what she wrote, but I

759
00:49:14.079 --> 00:49:17.000
<v Speaker 1>don't want to hear that it might turn some women off.

760
00:49:17.039 --> 00:49:20.960
<v Speaker 1>It's about a man talking about the possibility of sex

761
00:49:21.000 --> 00:49:23.599
<v Speaker 1>with a married woman while her husband's upstairs in the house,

762
00:49:23.880 --> 00:49:27.000
<v Speaker 1>who clearly knows this is going on. So if that

763
00:49:27.159 --> 00:49:29.480
<v Speaker 1>turns women off, I don't want to know those women.

764
00:49:30.840 --> 00:49:33.559
<v Speaker 1>I'm a very passionate man and I've had a very

765
00:49:33.599 --> 00:49:36.039
<v Speaker 1>sexual life and I don't make any apologies for it,

766
00:49:36.679 --> 00:49:39.440
<v Speaker 1>and you shouldn't either. Whoever reads those words, but by

767
00:49:39.519 --> 00:49:42.599
<v Speaker 1>all means, gang go to aj Ben's at dot substack

768
00:49:42.679 --> 00:49:48.639
<v Speaker 1>dot com and join. Read my words. You'll like me.

769
00:49:48.960 --> 00:49:53.920
<v Speaker 1>It turns out I'm multifaceted. That's it. I love you

770
00:49:53.960 --> 00:49:56.880
<v Speaker 1>as I'll talk to you tomorrow, one day before Thanksgiving.

771
00:49:56.920 --> 00:49:59.639
<v Speaker 1>I think we're gonna take two days off. No show Thursday,

772
00:49:59.719 --> 00:50:02.960
<v Speaker 1>knows Friday. What do you say? Maybe I'll do one

773
00:50:03.000 --> 00:50:06.119
<v Speaker 1>because you know I can't stay away, but I don't know.

774
00:50:06.639 --> 00:50:09.480
<v Speaker 1>I think it's time for two days. Either way, we'll

775
00:50:09.519 --> 00:50:10.880
<v Speaker 1>talk tomorrow
