112: Silent Vendetta - Technical issues. Confident delivery.

Episode 12 of What Were We Saying? keeps things moving—despite some… glitchy audio

Tubesox steps up for a “How Was the Movie?” follow-up, giving his take on Meet the Parents (2000)—a review that’s equal parts observation, interpretation, and whatever notes managed to survive the watch. The guys also debut a brand-new segment, “Pick Your Poison,” where the choices are bad, the debates are worse, and no answer feels correct.

They crack open the WWWS Mailbag once again, with listener submissions that range from helpful to highly suspect, and, of course, bring back “3 Things That Can Kick Rocks,” because the list isn’t getting any shorter.

Audio may be… problematic. Fingers have been pointed.
 We’re all looking at Edgar.
 Keep your expectations low.

Transcript

SPEAKER_03 0:40

Oh hey there. TubeSocks here. I need to give a quick disclaimer about this episode. We experienced what we are calling an audio-related technical event. Unfortunately, we didn't catch it until we were already into editing and getting ready to post. Instead of shelving the entire episode, we've decided to release it anyways, audio issues and all. If you can stick with us, we think it's worth it, and we certainly appreciate it. We will be back to the usual standard you've come to expect next episode. Thanks for your understanding. And uh now let's get right into episode 12.

SPEAKER_00 1:22

What a way we say.

SPEAKER_05 1:29

And I'm TubeSuck, and we've got a new segment today. And three things that absolutely kick rocks. Let's stick around. Let's get to it. We are coming at you from Blunderworks Studios on the fifth floor, located in Sunny Downtown! Sunny downtown. Behind the camera? Edgar Lasseter. The chairman. The chairman. We still haven't figured out why he called us all that, but we're going to do it. We're just gonna run with it, let him have his moments. It's easier to just go along. Uh playing us in and playing us out at the end of the show, Harold Winthrop and Silver Ashtray Orchestra. They are huddled down at the uh closed dog track because they feel comfortable there, so they're watching it on uh I don't know, like it's so Trinitron. What they're watching on, and I don't think they're supposed to be there, but security hasn't found them yet, so I won't say nothing. Anyways. I believe it.

SPEAKER_04 2:29

They were handy men.

SPEAKER_05 2:31

Certainly resourceful. I would say so. Oh my goodness. So this is episode number 12. Feels like 13 by the time we got going here. Oh my goodness, what a what a time we've had. Oh, I love it. We're okay though. Everything's good. We're uh strapped in, buckled in, ready for episode 12 here. Anchor hasn't cried yet, so that's cool. Episode 12 means that we uh just finished up episode 11. Did you enjoy that one? I had a great time. I thought episode 11. I mean, we are getting into our groove here a little bit, I think. I think we're almost getting a little too into our groove. We gotta start trimming stuff. We're so good. Oh my goodness. I uh I did actually run into someone today out, and he said, uh, hey, really enjoyed episode 11, and I thought. Alright, we're good. That's a win. We appreciate you. How was your week? We've been good. It's been good so far. You know, false spring, uh rear. That's just I mean, other than I don't even I know if you go back a few episodes, I went on a whole tangent. I got a whole big huge bunch of stuff about how the timing of the year sucked, and that was weeks ago. And uh nothing's changed. Nothing has changed. In fact, maybe it's gotten worse. Almost worse. Almost worse. This is now fall summer 75. I don't know what year we're in. I don't know what we're ever gonna get out of this. I don't know, but a weekend was great, and then all of a sudden, 14 feet of snow come tumbling down, and then by mid-afternoon it's all gone, and everything's gross again. I don't I don't understand what to feel with this damn weather. Stop! That was your week. It was good, you know. I had the long weekends, that was fun, that was nice. Always nice to have a day off. Got together with a fan and uh hosted a little shindig over at uh over at uh Castadel Tuesday, so that was nice. Here we are. Here we are. New week, new show. New week, new show. Same old ending. Anything dumb this week with you? Just this damn weather. I just and I saw it, I just I can't get past it. It's dumb and it takes me off. And nothing more dumb could happen in my life than this damn weather. Well, I'm not gonna uh rap about the weather because there's nothing I can do about this. Although I think everyone's patience is starting to run out. Yeah. This is now week 75. Um week 12 under the domes. But I did uh have something dumb occur to me while I was on my way to Blender Works Studios today driving. A lot of dumb stuff happens to Tooth. So well it didn't happen to me. I just again witnessed this. I'm just glad I did because it was slightly entertaining. I'm in my vehicle and I'm at an intersection at a light inside of the vehicle, and I look over as you do. I looked over at the guy driving. There was a guy driving, he had his hood on, um, which is automated driving, because in the passenger seat was his dame, and she was about eight centimeters from his face, beat red, just yelling at him like a dog at a fence when someone's walking by.

SPEAKER_03 5:37

And he's just laser focused, hands on the wheel, stone faced, and she's just yep, yep, yep, and away.

SPEAKER_05 5:45

Animated, arms flying. Uh-huh. The next slide we meet again. I glance over, see what's going on, and it's still going. And he's just, and she's just. I don't I don't know. She had a awful lot of energy. Oh, what did he do? If you're listening, guy who's getting yelled at by his uh partner there, uh seemed to be having a pretty dumb day. Chime in. Oh my, that was really something. I how do you feel when you see other people arguing in public? That's just awkward. Right? But it's also like a car crash where you can't look away. I also wonder how it gets to that point, because why doesn't one of you kind of shut it down and like, no, no, no, not here. I think it just gets to the point where it's such a big problem that you don't care. You just don't care about who here's. You want the world to know because you kind of hope they're on your side when this becomes a big thing. See who this is? I don't know. I just yeah, it is awkward. It's uncomfortable, but it's like a car crash where you just kind of have to like slowly walk by, or like I've already been through that aisle of the store, but I might walk down it again just to get an update. No? I mean I felt I felt bad for the guy, but I didn't feel too bad for him. Because as far as I know, maybe he was. Well, he's probably the problem. Yeah, he may have been the problem. I guess we'll never know. Unless you're listening, then tune in. Time in. Time in this letter. Hey, I was that guy. I was like, I get the other one. Anyways. We mentioned that the mailbag's back. Should we get into the mailbag? Mailbag! Disclaimer there. Got a disclaimer here for our mailbag written up on our crack little teamboard. So, what we say at mailbag contains real letters from real viewers and listeners. Some names, details, and punctuation may have been altered for dramatic effect, personal safety, length, clarity, grammar, excessive hostility, content, readability, emotional stability, and taste. So there's that. We've covered everything. That checks out for final show's gone. Alright, do you want to uh do a letter or should I do a first letter here? I got one here. I would like to read. Alright. Starts out, dear fellows, really enjoying the new segments. Especially say one now! It's a strong edition. Yes. That said, I do have one small concern. Are you guys getting too many good ideas? I didn't even consider that. For example, say one is excellent, but when paired with existing lineups plus any future editions, which I assume are already being workshopped in the last one. Extensively workshopped. I just wonder if the show risks become too dynamic, too layered, too interesting? That that could easily happen. I think we're approaching on two interesting. Not a complaint. Thank you. Of course not. Just something to monitor as you continue improving the show. All the best. Clifford, balanced beam nougan. Dayton, Ohio. Dayton, Ohio, balanced beam dugan, hey, that's a whole What do you gotta do in your life to be called Balanced Beam? Like, did you make them? Were you really good on one? Or does it suck on? Dayton, Ohio, eh? I don't think we've ever gotten it. Dayton, Ohio! Like that's new. You're the best.

SPEAKER_04 9:04

Oh! No one's gonna eat No, okay.

SPEAKER_05 9:07

Where's that from?

SPEAKER_04 9:08

What?

SPEAKER_06 9:09

Where's that from?

SPEAKER_04 9:09

The song? Yeah. You're the best!

unknown 9:12

Oh!

SPEAKER_04 9:13

No one's gonna have a kid!

unknown 9:15

No.

SPEAKER_05 9:17

Getting nothing. Anyways, I got a letter. Hey there, Triple WS guys. That's us! I have to say I was a bit disappointed with the most recent episode. Not much of content, mind you. Everything seemed to be in his usual form. The segments were there, the banter was intact, and nothing felt particularly out of place, and yet something was missing. There was no mailbag. Ow, they caught on! I kept waiting for it. Every natural break in the show felt like the moment might happen. Aha, I thought this must be where they hit the mail, but it never came.

SPEAKER_04 9:53

Hee hee!

SPEAKER_05 9:54

The mailbag has a way of giving a show a sense of community and participation. I can only assume there was a perfectly reasonable explanation. Perhaps a backlog or a sorting delay, or maybe the mailing was simply overwhelmed. Sincerely, Harold Cormac, Winnipeg Manitoba. Winnipeg! Well, Harold, I've got great news for you. The mailbag's back on this week. Whoop whoop! You're number two, baby. There we go. So huh. Also, like that other one, because so much stuff going on. We know you guys won't listen to us talk for three hours. We could if you want. It can't just be reading mail every episode. We should uh get into that new segment. Let me find the liner for it. Here we go.

SPEAKER_04 10:32

Segmental!

SPEAKER_05 10:33

It is a returning sponsor. What? I haven't had them since the early days.

SPEAKER_06 10:41

Ah, the early days.

SPEAKER_05 10:42

The Hungry Prospector, Dining Land, and Farm Supply. Oh! Remember them? Oh, baggedy, but located uh just only good episodes ago. Right? That was like episode one or two. That's like a line to twelve. More than six, seven. Located just off Highway 215, easy to find, harder to explain. Featuring steaks, stews, and skill-out meals that arrive and stay with you. I don't know if that's a good thing. Portions that don't ask questions and don't wait for permission. Every Tuesday, two for one trough night, buy one entree, and feed something else for free. I remember that portion. I vaguely remember it because I was so grossed out and intrigued. Uh the Hungry Prospector, you'll know when to leave. I specifically remember that segment. Yes. You'll know when it's time to go. I hope they're doing alright. So what do we got here with a new segment called Take a Poison? Which I'm sure most of you would probably realize what that means. Uh, but if you don't, it is a uh a this or that, a that or this, where I big you I'm going to have two options for tube socks. This is a this is a there's a big huke to tube socks game and a reversal of the the say what? Or if that's a tube soft to be UK. And they're not good options. It's like would you rather have it's not gonna be would you rather have a million dollars or two million dollars? Like those are both good options. You can't go wrong with either of those. Right. These are gonna be more, maybe you gotta dig deep and think a little bit, or like they just both kind of suck, but which one sucks a little bit less? Or you think you could survive it better? Um they're not all like super deep. Some are just fun and quirky. Just like us. Fun and quirky. Yes, absolutely. Ready for number one? Inaugural pick. I am ready for number one. Alright, pick your poison. Two socks. Constantly have the hiccups. Or always feel like you need to sneeze or on any. Hiccups. That was a fast answer. Sure. Just because the feeling of losing a sneeze sucks, right? No, I just think that uh, you know, the pickups are kind of neat. That is not the explanation I was expecting. You can't talk if you have a sneeze hanging. You're always doing that. Oh, you know what? Okay, good point. And I think also just like the feeling of losing a sneeze. Like, that sucks. Well, I don't know if I've never lost one. You've never lost a sneeze? Given the current weather conditions that we've been dealing with, I've had the sneezes. And there's been there was one day where it's just like it was just about to go, and then it would just go away. Oh, that's that's the dream? No! God no! Oh, okay. Sneezing's great. Huh. Okay. Alright, we'll move on. Number two. Always be slightly cold. Or always have the urge to pee.

unknown 13:40

Right?

SPEAKER_05 13:41

It's a little bit of a thicker. I think I would welcome being cold. I mean it'd be nice.

unknown 13:46

Huh.

SPEAKER_05 13:46

Always running a little hot anyways. As you can see.

SPEAKER_06 13:49

Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 13:50

Um yeah, being a little chilly would be nice. Yeah, fair enough. Number three, be 45 minutes late to everything. Or 45 minutes early. Well, absolutely early because being late is rude. Sure. I never said that LD. So we're pretty basic. I don't know, I don't know anyone who would prefer to be that late. No. No. That's I mean, I get like sometimes it'd be annoying to wait around for 45 minutes. And like some things being late doesn't really matter. But I think the big thing here is like your friend's hosting a party. And like you're 45 minutes early, where like they're not really ready for the city. No, you don't need to go in. The way I've written this was yes, you're not just standing in the corner waiting for the time. You have to be at the thing you're you're supposed to be at. Oh, I see. Yeah. Like, also that means you're getting to work 45 minutes early every single day. And I don't know if that means you have to leave 45 minutes earlier. If you do, then okay, it's kind of wash. Still not bigger. Number four, always be underdressed or overdressed. Overdressed. Really? Yeah. But you're wearing a three-piece to McDonald's. Being underdressed is just kind of, again, goes back to living in society here. I figured you were gonna go the way. Number five, always have a pebble in your shoe, or always have damp socks. I think I'm going with pebble. Going with pebble? Yeah. Why is that? What's your explanation? I want to know on that. Well, because uh I've recently spent a few weeks with damp socks. And uh I'm wishing that I had brought new socks to work. I can push through a pebble easily. Okay, fair. See? But after a while, the damn socks kind of gets to you. I mean, if it's yeah, that's kind of why that's that's the whole point of this game. Chuck Taylors and Snow don't go get along real good. You know what? That makes a lot of sense. So I I don't know, they both suck. Number six. Constantly feel itchy. Or constantly feel sticky. You can't just wash with a stick. Can't just scratch with the itch. I think the easy answer is itchy. I don't think there's any easy answer to that. Well. I don't mind scratching. Yeah, but like not people are gonna think you got like ticks. Yeah, there's you're not it it you're not sticky. So it's not like if someone touches you, they're gonna get sticky. Sticky hands is a really gross feeling. You feel uncanny. Yeah, but do you want people to think you have like underdressings in the store you feel? Handbugs? Because that's rumor I'm gonna spread. When two sitting in the corner scratching his legs. Okay, do you rather be itchy? Sure. I'm edgy right now. There we go. Good. Number seven. Be the best in the world at one specific thing, or be just kind of meh at a lot. I'm good with meh at a lot of things. The double jack of all trades, master of none things. Yeah, like the variety. Yeah? Like be the best at one that you can like. I don't need the attention.

SPEAKER_04 16:59

Okay.

SPEAKER_05 16:59

But there's a lot of things you can choose to be best at that don't give attention. Like, it's not like you choose to be like the best actor at basketball basketball show. Um. Okay. Matt just man at most? Good vaccines. Okay, cool. I think these last two are really gonna if uh I think these are really good against that. Alright. Would you rather shave your beard or shave your head? I would say shave my head because the hair comes back quicker on your head. But do you would you shave how to keep it that way? Well no, but like you're it's not like this isn't uh the way I was perceiving it wasn't like a it's permanent, you can't let anything come out. It was uh like it's shaving and like you're shaving it off. I'd shave my hair off because I can't wear a hat on my beard. I mean, that's fair. I feel so I don't know. If I had my head shaved right now, you people would not really know. But if I shaved my beard off, you go, ugh. You'd be like, ah, who's the new ghost? I'd walk in and I'd call for security. Number nine. The same ten songs forever. Or the same five movies. You only get ten songs, or five movies. Choose movies, you know, all the songs. Choose a song all the movies. Well I'd go probably go ten songs and have all the movies. Because you have music in the movies. Well, plus Yeah. Well, I guess you don't know, you wouldn't be asking me. I don't know, that's the whole point. That's the whole point of the game. It's tough though. Maybe I'd go with the movies because there is a really lot of uh in the Jason catalog there too. Yes, that would be one of the five. Yes. Top of your head, what would what movies would be? Not super deep, just like again, like quick right now, you have 20 seconds to find five movies that will have five for life. Raging Bull? Okay. Probably uh Life of Brian. Ooh. Probably Goldfinger. Oh three, two more. Let's just get close. Oh jeez. Uh probably the uh uh Godfather. Number four. If you know, you know. Um and one more? One more. Page perfect is still an option. Yeah, it is still an option, but uh gonna go there. Oh boy. Maybe the original Thomas Crown affair from 1967? Ooh, that's a decent five. Okay, the laser comes. One more? Yeah, I got one more. One more good one here. Okay, we'll do two more. Um, have to sing everything you say, or whisper. Probably whisper. Yeah? Yeah. And I'm going off this like the assumption is you have a good singing voice. I don't have a good singing voice. Yeah, I that would be too aggressive, because I know a lot of people who, if they start to sing, I'd rather just slap you the face. So whispering's really happy. It's like you have a f you have a sing song voice that people don't hate because it's bad. They would hate maybe because you're singing everything. Well then maybe I would go sing that if I actually had a good singing voice because that might be kind of the kid. Because whispering's annoying. I mean, I I don't disagree. Okay, believe it or not.

SPEAKER_04 20:20

I'm walking on that!

SPEAKER_05 20:21

Yeah, no, that's on.

unknown 20:23

Yes.

SPEAKER_05 20:24

Last one. Last one. Would you rather be attacked and to defend yourself from 100 duck-sized horses or from one horse-sized duck. I would say the horse-sized duck for one. It's a big duck's a big duck. Yeah, but I think you can find your spot. Whereas if you are the little guys, they're all over you and they're. Yeah, but you know how small ducks are. Yeah, they can eventually wear you down though when one gets on your back while you're dealing with your feet. But the duck size is you big horses? That's a big friend duck! I think I think I could find the spot. It's gonna look too like a big old piece of bread. Okay, I think that's enough for now. Alright. Let's say not go pick your poison. Wow. See, some of those are fun. Some of them suck. I didn't even get to the real deep ones. Because I didn't put them on the list, because they're not for this type show. And maybe that's for the best. I think so. Yeah, so if you have anything you want me to ask you to choose between, let me know in the comments. Write us an email. Hit me up. We're heading right into the uh movie now. The movie! I can get my movie notes out here. Oh, my goodness. How are you gonna ask me questions about the movie? Ah, I'm just hoping that you did a good deep dive. Because I know you a little bit. Okay. So I had to watch Meet the Parents. Meet the Parents, number one. In the year 2000.

SPEAKER_04 21:58

Woohoo!

SPEAKER_05 22:00

That's the movie one of I think there's four of them now? Oh my goodness, that seems like a little kill. That seems like a really good thing. The second one's well, it's it's the second because that's you're meeting her parents. And the second one, we need his parents, it's called Meet the Fawkers. Alright, well, first I gotta say. Uh-oh, here we go. It was just an incredible film, Ben's Dillon. I wouldn't say that. Good, neither would I. Um, it was odd seeing uh Robert De Niro in a uh comedic role, even though he wasn't really being comedian. He was just being Robert De Niro. It just happened to be in a comedic film. De Niro's so good in that movie. But uh you know it's it it's it's weird, I'm not sure if it's because sitting down and watching a movie you're not really keen about. Because I really don't really sit down and watch comics. Well, right? Like I'll uh I mean I I'll I'm a fucking guy, I got favorite comics and movies stuff. Well when I sit and watch a movie, comedy are like at the bottom of uh choices, right? There's maybe it's I mean like a group setting or it's uh but sit down and watch a movie by myself, I probably shouldn't really want to pay attention to working on something on the computer or something, I'll have to put something on that just kind of in the background. Right? But to actually sit and watch a comedy is a weird thing to me. It seemed kind of weird. Beach parents is a comedy. Well it was. Um I will say about the movie that see it struck me right away, that waste no time in making you uncomfortable by having Randy Newman open up the picture saying. Uh spoiler alert, Randy Newman can kick rocks. Oh snap! Jesus. Is that a bonus kick rocks? Yeah, it's a bonus one. Oh shit! As soon as I heard Randy Newman's thing, I was like, nothing fan. And maybe that's when I started feeling, can I sit and watch this? Like if that's what they're starting the movie with. Okay, so we get past Randy Newman. Well, I did get past Randy Newton. I mean, it was it was enjoyable. It was uh uh the ashes scene uh really kind of lays out the the the way the entire picture's gonna go. Probably accurate. I do have some some character notes here. Kevin. It's kind of a human red flag, I'm believing smarmy. Give off huge youth pastor vibes. The who did? I don't know if you got that or not, but uh and the same thing, he's he's not really bragging, because everything's true, but he's not being boastful. Well, he's just telling you all the stuff that you don't. Uh Pam? No Pam. Pam uh was definitely not as helpful as she could have been. There's definitely more she could have done throughout the picture to smooth things out. Yeah, she kind of just leveled it. Rather than just telling Greg to be himself, when clearly being himself wasn't working. Clearly, clearly it wasn't. Uh she's kind of hungable to drive, but it's Yeah. I mean, that's kind of the whole. If she was just helpful, it wouldn't be much of a movie. Uh the volleyball scene was fantastic. From obviously the Speed O'S terrific. Um there, but and I like how he's uh constantly getting chirped and then when he finally mans up, takes out the bride's face with the ball. The issues with uh I mean with Greg is that uh there is another. Well well this kind of bothered me though.

unknown 25:10

There's a few.

SPEAKER_05 25:12

That the um yeah, most disasters are bad luck, horrible timing, misinterpretation. Except for the cat swamp.

unknown 25:19

Oh, the cat swamp.

SPEAKER_05 25:20

The cat swap is fully on him, and he goes from victim to architect of his own downfall. Oh, big time. And that didn't have to happen. Well Why didn't he just say he thought the cat was Mr. Jiggs? And then be told, oh well this isn't oh, okay. Instead of trying to cover it up, and then you just he definitely got to a point where there was no turning back. But he got to that point so quickly. But I think he was overwhelmed by the fact that he got to that point so quickly, and then he's like, ah shit, here we go. Yeah, he just keep digging, I'll get to the bottom. Commits like he was in too deep, but immediately. If you bring home the wrong cat and you know it, you just play it off like you didn't know it, they want to say, hey, this isn't Jinx. Oh. Looked like Jinx to me. But when you actually put that. I just met Jiggs. When you when you put the tail paint on. Yeah. Then you're then there's no way to feel sorry for you at that point. Yeah, you kind of do it to yourself. That point would be. And I know most of the the also the the the riff in the movie riff and on Robert De Niro's character because of his past movies. But I much prefer seeing him in just regular movies. You'd rather him be the spy or the mob boss than pretend not be one. Than be that in a comedy movie. I don't want to see Robert De Niro comedy. I'd rather watch him in Meet Streets or something that's actually more if I was. Okay. I don't want to I I I I didn't. Well it was kinda uh that's kind of funny. I don't enjoy seeing that environment. Also, it just felt a little in that movie specifically, it felt a little bit like you didn't that one, you didn't need it. But I mean they were very much going for that, but that was the whole thing, was he can just be a flower chopper and so. If they put Gabby Coleman in that same role, you're not gonna get the same vibe. Yeah, the whole thing was kind of 10-year-old. Oh, sure. You know. Yeah, in a role that you most people seeing it would not expect him to have. But I don't know. Again, it was fine. It was a good movie, it was effective. I got some um some nitpickens here. Oh, good old nitpickets. When they're driving home to uh racing home? At the stoplight, revming their automatic transmission car engines? That's kind of weird. So they're throwing it in N? No, they're at no, they're on the brake. They have to be. I guess they weren't, because they're tired. No, I guess they weren't thrown into N. Because you can't put it in a park. Why did you put a park? Put a park in really trend. Either way. Just that was kind of weird. That's it. I just love that they're racing and there's no traffic, and they both stop at the red light. You were trying to race home because that was when he found out about the cat, right? Yes. I don't know what he was gonna do when he got home. Well, also, you weren't gonna beat him by an hour. You're gonna beat him by seconds. What was so what was Greg gonna do when he got the first throw away the cat? Jason's gone! I ran away again! So, anyways. Um the overhead stowage scene, I did enjoy that. Where Greg kind of breaks down with the uh the air host test there. Yeah, the whole airport scene. And also it goes in the back. The ticket clerk's typing. Fantastically aggressive typing. That's a nice little point. I appreciate that. It's like the walking. Yes. In uh the last movie. Point blank. So, I mean the movie is basically what if everything didn't go wrong. It does go wrong the first time I meet parents. Yes. Also, I'm not an 18-year-old, I'm like an old-grown demon who this should probably never happen. It's also funny though, because that movie was. I think it's just because they don't like that he's a nurse. Well, it's 25 years old now.

unknown 28:56

Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 28:57

It's okay to hate on nurses actually. Well, because they kept you know kept saying male nurse. But now male nurses don't aren't referring to. No, they're just nurses. They're just nurses. They're just nurses. I think he had a lot of things going on against him from the start. 25 years ago. Well, 25 years ago that was the joke because we were uh less civilized. Um so it's not just cringe, it's a uh it's a sustained pressure cooker, the whole movie. Like in a like an awkward, socially uncomfortable. But it's also like, how does he get out of this situation? And he never really does. No, he just kind of finds his way into a new one. Uh yeah, Greg is not a bad guy, it's just every decision he makes triggers the worst possible outcome. It's also a bit of a Larry Damon syndrome, actually. I think that's that's apt. He's not a bad guy. He tries to do the right thing, but just always makes the wrong decision. So yeah, it was enjoyable. But I was very aware of the fact that I don't know sitting down and watching a comedy movie. So you probably won't watch the next three. I used to watch more comedies when I was, you know. So you're not gonna watch me floppers on your own time? I think you would like that one better. Anyways.

SPEAKER_03 30:03

So, yeah, it was fine. You know.

SPEAKER_05 30:06

Like you think it'd be less for making you watch that one? No, I don't never think less of you. Ooh, jump excepted. I got news for you, bird nerves coming up. But it was uh it was an eye-opener because I to look inwards and realized how much I really don't enjoy sitting down and watching that. Oh, yeah. Huh. Or it really makes me have to rethink. Or maybe it was just my uh my mood a lot of my list. Maybe it's just my mood at the time. As long as you didn't hate it. Oh, I know, I I I enjoyed it. It's just that Like we've gotten bad. We went up. Pitch Perfect is here, that's baseline. We went up with flight. Yes. And then I actually enjoyed watching Pitch Perfect more than I enjoyed me to perfect. I was just gonna say, we've now gone like I feel like we skyrock. We we know those. Because maybe because Pitch Perfect kind of caught me off guard.

unknown 30:54

Okay.

SPEAKER_05 30:55

And it was like, yeah, this is kind of funny. I have no idea about this kind of thing. This is you know. Yeah, so that's your typical like comedy. Or this was a belly movie. Oh, I really like Rob De Niro. I wish this was one of his better movies. You know, I didn't really take that into account of how you think about you act or differently. So but that's me, you know, that's a me problem. That's a G-Ton's problem. I do have another De Niro movie that I think you don't expect that from him, you know. Like you said, that whole like uh Mob Boss casino guy. Well, in tough to find a but like they don't play up on it, they don't play up on it. Where they can this one now is play on the fact that his roles were his roles. The point of this whole thing though is uh you know, us watching stuff that we don't know about. So I kind of nailed it then. So we kind of nailed it. There we go. Done. Done. Let's go back into the mail bag. Thank you very much. You know, I also will say that uh You know, this goes back to a long time ago. For those of you who've been around the whole time, I think this was maybe episode four or five on mail bag, we had a gentleman, I cannot remember his name, write in about the fact that Tupsa does this. He ends the ends of thought, ends this ends a situation, and as the person opposite him, which in this case is me, starts about to go into the next thing. He well, actually, one more thought about that. Well, on that note, let's just get to the mill leg. No, now I gotta know. Now I forget. Shit! Lost my train of thought. Why don't you read a letter because I just was rattling off about that movie? I've got a letter here. It's a juicy one. Dear Big Uke and Supsacks. Howdy. Great show, boys. I've been enjoying it. That said, I do a few beefs I feel compelled to bring to your attention. First, the name of the show was What Were We Saying? And I was expecting more and longer rambles. It feels like there's an odd show. I feel like I just had one. I mean, that was kind of there. I mean, 12 episodes in finally got it, but I was expecting more and longer rambles. It feels like there's an opportunity being left on the table here. Might I suggest introducing beer or beers before the start of the show to help things along? Oh, he wants us to to what's uh one of my things. Is it just a pregamin? A little pregame or uh, you know, like uh slipping the top of my head, whatever trying to think of. A little pregame. Okay, okay. Second, while I appreciate the extensive discussion of dumb stuff, I can't help but wonder. Where's the discussion about smart stuff? Little panels might go a long way. Uh that's not alright. Here's the thing. Not much of that around.

unknown 33:42

What?

SPEAKER_05 33:42

Have you gone outside lately? Third. See, this is kind of first, second, thirdly. Firstly, secondly, thirdly. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. We didn't write it. I didn't write it. And I guess we didn't edit this one. You know, because of the whole thing we can get away with. Anyway, third, I was extremely upset to hear that the fonto pit is now a show sponsor. I can't go into too much detail to put an ongoing court matter. But I will say this if you choose to dine there, be prepared for Fondue burns when the restaurant's revolving mechanism goes on the Fritz. On Fritz?

unknown 34:19

Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 34:20

Do with that information what you will. That's a phrase that people don't use off. On the Fritz? Yeah. And every time I hear it, I just think Fritz the cat. I just think of German people in general. There. There. Old Fritz. Old Fritzy. Finally, the show could use more currency content. I think that's self-explanatory. Thank you for your time. Coming to you from north of Ritby, east of Knight Junction, south of Segundo, and west of the Fifth. Spency Pine Santi. Spency! I do I appreciate you, Brother Man. We'll take that into uh into account at our meetings. Our big high-level meetings. I do love that ending though. I appreciate that. He gets that. He gets it. Alright. Dear Triple WS. Question mark. Just a quick note to say I'm loving the show. The news segments are great, but banter is always sharp. I'm not sure it always is, but sharp, sharp! I've noticed a few things off air too. Nothing intrusive. Just from a respectful distance across the room at a local watering hall. The way one of you scans the room before settling in, the other lingering over a drink a little longer. It all carries over perfectly after the show. Makes listening that much richer knowing the personalities I see out in the wild are exactly the ones I see on the show. What are we paying for you for, Edgar, if this has happened? Keep it up. I'll be closer than you think. Sincerely, Leland Decay. Uh I don't think that was. Yeah, no. Don't love that. No. Don't love that one bit. I mean, thanks for watching. Yeah, thanks for tuning in. I don't love that you're watching us off air. Please, if you see us at a watering hole, just come over and say hi instead of creeping on us, because that's at least a little creepy. Do something so that we can at least recognize you so we're not freaked out by the weird dude to booth alone with a mask on? Okay, well. Yeah. Why do you get to that sponsorship liner? Leland? Leland K. Makes sense for a Leland. The Apology Drafting Service. Oh, they're new. They are new. Need to apologize, but not really?

Because meeting it is a bit much. I think I'm going to uh take down the information. Just down the information. We do have it in electronic mail, so. Might need that so you know. Well that uh takes us right into three things that can kick rocks. My favorite part of the show! This week, I know you didn't really enjoy last week's. No, that was not great. Because uh you were wrong, but whatever. Well moments. Well, okay. Alright, well here we are. This week I've got Deliberately misspelled names. Oh, okay. Ethan with a Y. Ethan with an E on the end, Ethan with a just eight ways to spell the same name. Just spell the names properly, please. You're not you're not being unique. Your kid's not gonna be excited when the teacher's gonna have to explain. Oh, here Brooklyn. Brooklyn, Brooklyn, Brooklyn, Brooklyn. Just how just spell the damn name of people. Number two. Relish. I'm not gonna disagree with you because I hate relish. But yeah. Is it because you don't do okay, do you like pickles? No. Okay, there we go. That's kind of it's a very narrowly defined useless condom. There we go. And the third thing, the phrase low-key. Low-key adult is hard, bro. Way too prevalent. I was just kinda like came out of nowhere and is just stuck around to be a bird in my saddle. Huh. Low-key. Low-key and adulting. Usox hates modern words. No, I don't. So, anyways, that's that's all I've got for that. I low-key didn't hate that. I uh I almost uh this guy. Hey Bomb. Alright, well let's let's start wrapping this sucker up here.
