the end of your week. Hopefully not the end of

7
00:00:51.200 --> 00:00:57.240
your rope. You've heard of ding dong ditch, but the

8
00:00:57.280 --> 00:01:02.320
newest TikTok trend is more like ding dong dead as

9
00:01:02.399 --> 00:01:05.120
a one eleven year old in Houston recently found out,

10
00:01:05.680 --> 00:01:09.959
as one kid in Frisco almost found out, and numerous

11
00:01:10.000 --> 00:01:16.840
children across the nation are also fafoing. I am, of course,

12
00:01:16.879 --> 00:01:19.560
speaking about the eleven year old in Houston who died

13
00:01:20.040 --> 00:01:23.400
after a late night ding Dong ditch prank turned deadly.

14
00:01:23.519 --> 00:01:26.840
According to Houston Police, he and his friends were ringing

15
00:01:26.879 --> 00:01:30.640
doorbells and running away last Saturday night when someone came

16
00:01:30.680 --> 00:01:33.120
out of a home in East Houston and opened fire

17
00:01:33.200 --> 00:01:36.159
at the kids running down the street. The boy was

18
00:01:36.159 --> 00:01:38.040
struck in the back and rushed to the hospital, where

19
00:01:38.040 --> 00:01:40.840
he died on Sunday. A man at the home was

20
00:01:40.879 --> 00:01:44.359
detained and questioned by homicide detectives, but later released as

21
00:01:44.400 --> 00:01:47.840
the investigation continued. And again, this is not the first

22
00:01:47.879 --> 00:01:50.599
time the prank has ended in tragedy. In recent years,

23
00:01:50.719 --> 00:01:53.760
multiple people across the United States have been killed after

24
00:01:53.799 --> 00:01:56.000
playing Ding Dong Ditch, including a group of teens in

25
00:01:56.040 --> 00:02:00.079
California and a teenager in Virginia filming a TikTok. It

26
00:02:00.159 --> 00:02:03.000
started as a childhood brank has now become another cautionary

27
00:02:03.000 --> 00:02:06.920
tale with a heartbreaking ending. And it's interesting that they

28
00:02:07.040 --> 00:02:11.159
use the phrase cautionary tale because while we're not ones

29
00:02:11.199 --> 00:02:15.840
to gloat, we told you so. We reported on this

30
00:02:15.879 --> 00:02:18.400
new TikTok trend just a few weeks ago, and we said,

31
00:02:19.120 --> 00:02:21.439
it's kind of happen in Texas and someone's going get

32
00:02:21.439 --> 00:02:24.840
shot here. We are here, we are.

33
00:02:25.360 --> 00:02:29.199
I thought you couldn't shoot someone running away.

34
00:02:29.240 --> 00:02:33.039
You can't, so you're not supposed to. So actually, let's

35
00:02:33.120 --> 00:02:37.879
rephrase because in this situation, especially, words matter. You can

36
00:02:38.120 --> 00:02:42.520
shoot anybody for any reason. That's true, because can has

37
00:02:42.599 --> 00:02:45.439
to do with the ability of the legality of it.

38
00:02:45.479 --> 00:02:48.479
Though that's where things get interesting. There is an update

39
00:02:48.520 --> 00:02:51.360
to this story because I'm with you. The whole idea

40
00:02:51.360 --> 00:02:53.360
of the castle doctrine protecting your home and all that.

41
00:02:54.719 --> 00:02:56.520
If someone tringing the doorbell and running away, they're not

42
00:02:56.599 --> 00:02:58.560
running off with any items or anything that you're aware,

43
00:02:58.599 --> 00:03:01.840
They're just running away. So they posed an immediate threat,

44
00:03:02.240 --> 00:03:06.159
which penns for, which tends to lead to an actual investigation.

45
00:03:06.280 --> 00:03:09.719
And that's what happened here, because the newest update to

46
00:03:09.800 --> 00:03:13.360
this story just a little while ago was that the

47
00:03:13.400 --> 00:03:16.280
Houston man accused of shooting and killing an eleven year old.

48
00:03:17.039 --> 00:03:22.400
His bond has now been set at one million dollars. Okay, yeah,

49
00:03:22.439 --> 00:03:25.319
he was arrested at a hotel in Laporte, about twenty

50
00:03:25.319 --> 00:03:28.120
miles from home, with a large amount of clothing.

51
00:03:30.360 --> 00:03:31.240
Running for the border.

52
00:03:31.800 --> 00:03:36.319
So he knew he knew he had done wrong. And

53
00:03:36.479 --> 00:03:39.120
this is the reason why I'm surprised they didn't arrest

54
00:03:39.240 --> 00:03:44.520
him right away. Now, if it was a situation where

55
00:03:44.639 --> 00:03:46.879
people broke into the home and he shot and killed them,

56
00:03:47.120 --> 00:03:48.759
he would not have been arrested at that much because

57
00:03:48.759 --> 00:03:51.360
at that point the Evans would have supported this. Looks

58
00:03:51.400 --> 00:03:54.479
pretty clear that this was a self defense castle doctor

59
00:03:54.479 --> 00:03:57.400
and type of situation. But since that wasn't, he was

60
00:03:57.439 --> 00:04:03.879
clearly making a run for the border. His defense team

61
00:04:03.919 --> 00:04:05.800
said he was at the hotel because of the media

62
00:04:05.879 --> 00:04:08.000
presence around his house, and the hotel was a few

63
00:04:08.000 --> 00:04:11.439
miles away from the college where he was enrolled. The

64
00:04:11.479 --> 00:04:14.759
authority said we don't believe you and took him in anyway.

65
00:04:15.280 --> 00:04:18.120
So there you have it, Ding Dong dead in Texas.

66
00:04:18.759 --> 00:04:22.639
But even if somebody's stealing from you and they're running away,

67
00:04:22.759 --> 00:04:24.040
you can't shoot them in the back.

68
00:04:25.439 --> 00:04:27.920
That's where he gets kind of great because they're running

69
00:04:27.920 --> 00:04:30.439
off with your stuff. There was one story that we

70
00:04:30.519 --> 00:04:33.959
played the audio of relentlessly for a number of years

71
00:04:33.959 --> 00:04:36.360
on the radio show. It was a story, I'm pretty

72
00:04:36.399 --> 00:04:38.879
sure it was in Texas where you had a guy

73
00:04:38.959 --> 00:04:42.720
who was actually kind of house sitting. So he was

74
00:04:42.800 --> 00:04:45.439
next door to a house that got broken into. Okay,

75
00:04:46.240 --> 00:04:49.360
he's next door and sees people leaving the house next

76
00:04:49.360 --> 00:04:53.120
door while he's on nine one one, So he knows

77
00:04:53.120 --> 00:04:55.000
people have broken into this house next door that he's

78
00:04:55.079 --> 00:04:57.839
keeping an eye on for his neighbors, and then as

79
00:04:57.839 --> 00:05:00.519
they're running down the street, he shoots them because he's like,

80
00:05:00.600 --> 00:05:02.439
he's telling nine one one, they got a bag of loop.

81
00:05:02.480 --> 00:05:03.879
They got a bag of loop. Nine to one one

82
00:05:03.920 --> 00:05:05.959
says don't do anything. He says, I almost shoot him.

83
00:05:05.959 --> 00:05:07.680
They got a bag of loop, and he shoots him,

84
00:05:08.360 --> 00:05:10.160
and one of them died, and I think he struck

85
00:05:10.199 --> 00:05:13.639
another one. The third was later arrested without knee injuries.

86
00:05:13.680 --> 00:05:19.199
But if I remember correctly, Trey, that guy was no build, right,

87
00:05:19.240 --> 00:05:21.000
so he didn't face any prosecution.

88
00:05:22.560 --> 00:05:22.800
Yeah.

89
00:05:23.439 --> 00:05:25.360
I want to say it was like Georgetown or it

90
00:05:25.399 --> 00:05:26.519
was somewhere around Austin.

91
00:05:26.560 --> 00:05:27.120
I remember that.

92
00:05:27.680 --> 00:05:32.240
Yeah, but that was different because one it's Texas, and

93
00:05:32.319 --> 00:05:36.279
two they had stolen items. Had it been a situation

94
00:05:36.600 --> 00:05:40.920
where they had nothing and they were just running away,

95
00:05:41.079 --> 00:05:44.480
then it could have been problematic for the guy. While

96
00:05:44.560 --> 00:05:47.279
keeping in mind, there was a situation in Farmer's Branch

97
00:05:47.959 --> 00:05:50.360
where a couple of kids were shot. One was killed

98
00:05:50.720 --> 00:05:52.959
for stealing a third row seat out of a tahoe

99
00:05:53.360 --> 00:05:56.600
that was parked in an apartment complex, and that guy,

100
00:05:56.680 --> 00:05:58.879
who happened to be an off duty police officer chased

101
00:05:58.879 --> 00:06:00.759
the kids and shot one of them, killed him, and

102
00:06:00.800 --> 00:06:05.600
then now he's in jail. But again, I don't know

103
00:06:05.639 --> 00:06:08.959
if they had any stolen items or not. I don't

104
00:06:09.000 --> 00:06:11.839
think they did, but they stole the thund row seat,

105
00:06:12.160 --> 00:06:15.959
so I don't know I don't know, that's what I'm saying.

106
00:06:15.959 --> 00:06:18.519
I don't remember if they did, so I think my

107
00:06:18.839 --> 00:06:21.160
assumption is that they didn't have anything on their person.

108
00:06:21.600 --> 00:06:23.199
He was just shooting at them because he was mad

109
00:06:23.240 --> 00:06:28.839
because they broke into his car trying to steal it. Okay, Yeah,

110
00:06:29.000 --> 00:06:31.399
The point of the story is we, like we said

111
00:06:31.399 --> 00:06:34.240
weeks ago, don't ding dong ditch in Texas. You're gonna

112
00:06:34.240 --> 00:06:41.120
get shot. It's a horrible thing to say, but it's true. Now.

113
00:06:41.199 --> 00:06:44.680
The other caveat to the story is that supposedly part

114
00:06:44.800 --> 00:06:47.600
of the TikTok trend when you do this is you're

115
00:06:47.639 --> 00:06:50.759
not just ringing the doorbell, you're actually kicking the front door.

116
00:06:51.879 --> 00:06:54.920
And if that's true. If that's true, then that makes

117
00:06:54.959 --> 00:06:59.000
it even more problematic because if you're kicking the door

118
00:06:59.600 --> 00:07:02.839
and while your midkick get shot through the door, then

119
00:07:02.920 --> 00:07:04.720
I think that the homeowner is going to be in

120
00:07:04.759 --> 00:07:06.399
the right and you're going to be on the wrong,

121
00:07:06.399 --> 00:07:08.240
because that then looks like you're trying to break in.

122
00:07:08.839 --> 00:07:11.720
It's a terrible time to be a Jehovah's witness.

123
00:07:14.079 --> 00:07:22.839
Because the other times we're so good.

Patreon dot com slash Treehouse on Air. I've debated on

137
00:08:27.040 --> 00:08:31.120
how to introduce this story multiple times today, and I

138
00:08:31.199 --> 00:08:33.759
think I'm just going to try it this way. So

139
00:08:33.840 --> 00:08:36.480
bear with me for just a moment as I get

140
00:08:36.519 --> 00:08:43.080
through this headline. Okay, do let me get myself set

141
00:08:43.360 --> 00:08:47.559
share screen and that all right? Hang in there, Here

142
00:08:47.600 --> 00:08:52.360
we go. A Klingon living in Massachusetts has been arrested

143
00:08:52.440 --> 00:08:58.159
for driving one hundred miles per hour after a chase

144
00:08:58.200 --> 00:09:09.360
with New Hampshire troopers before crashing into a house. All

145
00:09:09.399 --> 00:09:12.960
the worry about whether or not aliens are among us.

146
00:09:13.759 --> 00:09:17.679
We can now cast aside all those conspiracy theories because

147
00:09:17.720 --> 00:09:21.679
here we have irrefutable proof that aliens are among us

148
00:09:21.679 --> 00:09:25.080
and they're driving around at erratic speeds away from state troopers.

149
00:09:25.639 --> 00:09:28.559
That dude is the most something I have ever seen.

150
00:09:28.600 --> 00:09:31.360
I don't know if it's if that's anger or for

151
00:09:31.559 --> 00:09:33.039
I don't know what to call that.

152
00:09:33.320 --> 00:09:37.159
I just my only question is when he goes in

153
00:09:37.200 --> 00:09:39.279
to get a haircut, he is like, hey, can you

154
00:09:40.039 --> 00:09:42.519
do you make it towards them? They see all of

155
00:09:42.559 --> 00:09:43.080
my forehead.

156
00:09:44.679 --> 00:09:50.080
I need you to accentuate my my frown lines.

157
00:09:52.279 --> 00:09:55.240
Good job, keep the sides a little long and the

158
00:09:55.279 --> 00:09:56.440
forehead fully exposed.

159
00:09:56.799 --> 00:09:59.279
Yeah, you know, And maybe that's unfair me because in

160
00:09:59.399 --> 00:10:02.240
human terms those would be considered frowned lines as they

161
00:10:02.279 --> 00:10:06.639
make the V towards his nosebridge, But in Klingon terms

162
00:10:06.679 --> 00:10:08.000
they might just be war lined.

163
00:10:08.080 --> 00:10:08.559
I don't know.

164
00:10:10.120 --> 00:10:11.639
They are a violent people.

165
00:10:12.840 --> 00:10:16.480
And he's used to being on a spaceship soles.

166
00:10:16.720 --> 00:10:22.279
So the gravity's really pulling that V sharper. So yeah.

167
00:10:22.320 --> 00:10:25.639
A Klingon living in Tewkesbury, Massachusetts, has been arrested for

168
00:10:25.720 --> 00:10:28.600
driving one hundred miles per hour after a chase with

169
00:10:28.679 --> 00:10:32.039
New Hampshire troop after a chase with New Hampshire troopers

170
00:10:32.480 --> 00:10:39.120
before crashing into a house. I don't know what the

171
00:10:39.120 --> 00:10:45.320
formula relationship is between one hundred miles per hour and

172
00:10:45.440 --> 00:10:49.200
warp speed, but I would think I would think it'd

173
00:10:49.240 --> 00:10:51.320
be so low that this guy should not be crashing

174
00:10:51.399 --> 00:10:55.559
into a house, unless, of course, he is clingonging while

175
00:10:55.639 --> 00:10:56.879
under the influence of something.

176
00:10:58.120 --> 00:11:02.120
Well, first of all, he is clearly a bling on

177
00:11:02.240 --> 00:11:03.840
from the original series.

178
00:11:06.440 --> 00:11:10.440
M hm, yeah, when they didn't have the special effects.

179
00:11:10.200 --> 00:11:12.799
Right, the ones that were mixed with humans apparently.

180
00:11:14.919 --> 00:11:16.279
And I.

181
00:11:17.879 --> 00:11:19.480
Was waiting for one of you to nerd out on this.

182
00:11:19.879 --> 00:11:22.399
Hey man, I'm your guy. Yeah.

183
00:11:22.679 --> 00:11:24.879
And one hundred miles an hour, that's not even impulse.

184
00:11:25.039 --> 00:11:27.279
That's somebody smacked a ship with a rock while the

185
00:11:27.320 --> 00:11:28.000
engines weren't on.

186
00:11:28.120 --> 00:11:34.480
That's so the story says that this is a man

187
00:11:34.480 --> 00:11:38.159
from Massachusetts. We clearly know better, but he is facing

188
00:11:38.240 --> 00:11:40.600
charges after being accused of driving more than one hundred

189
00:11:40.639 --> 00:11:43.480
miles per hour after during a chase with New Hampshire

190
00:11:43.519 --> 00:11:46.919
State Police Monday night, then crashing into a house in Manchester.

191
00:11:48.240 --> 00:11:51.279
Police and fire rescue teams were sent to the house

192
00:11:51.279 --> 00:11:53.720
for a report of a car crashing into it. When

193
00:11:53.720 --> 00:11:58.120
they arrived, they found the driver of a Tesla spacelike vehicle,

194
00:11:58.799 --> 00:12:04.480
Alan Pickett, thirty seven, of Tewkesbury, Massachusetts, Clingon, had driven

195
00:12:04.519 --> 00:12:07.559
the vehicle into the front of the home, causing significant damage.

196
00:12:10.639 --> 00:12:13.399
Manchester Fire personnel forced entry into the home for a

197
00:12:13.399 --> 00:12:16.200
safety sweep and four dogs were located inside. They were

198
00:12:16.200 --> 00:12:18.080
all fined. All the dogs were cool. They were probably

199
00:12:18.120 --> 00:12:21.240
just a little annoyed. An investigation into the incident found

200
00:12:21.279 --> 00:12:25.200
New Hampshire State Police encountered Picket the Klingon while he

201
00:12:25.240 --> 00:12:27.200
was driving on I ninety three north at a high

202
00:12:27.240 --> 00:12:28.960
rate of speed to chasing south that he ran into

203
00:12:28.960 --> 00:12:31.200
a house. He was arrested on reckless conduct with a

204
00:12:31.279 --> 00:12:34.759
deadly weapon and criminal mischief and he scheduled for arraignment

205
00:12:35.120 --> 00:12:39.240
on Monday in Manchester District Court. I do know that

206
00:12:39.279 --> 00:12:41.799
the Federation is going to be really pissed off.

207
00:12:42.399 --> 00:12:44.840
So it was the Klingon High Council. Oh, they're gonna

208
00:12:44.840 --> 00:12:45.279
get in that.

209
00:12:45.279 --> 00:12:53.639
Ass, and Klingons have notoriously tight asses, that's right.

210
00:12:55.320 --> 00:12:58.440
And go to want him for a Spaceball sequel because

211
00:12:59.000 --> 00:13:01.840
white helmets were just fit perfectly with that hairline.

212
00:13:05.720 --> 00:13:08.279
It really would. I mean, it's like that one guy

213
00:13:08.279 --> 00:13:10.320
who had his mugshot. He was so good looking he

214
00:13:10.320 --> 00:13:12.799
got a modeling contract out of it. This guy's mugshot

215
00:13:12.879 --> 00:13:15.320
so terrible, he's going to end up in Spaceball's too.

Today Forrest Gump thumbnails.

242
00:15:05.279 --> 00:15:08.639
H I asked Trey, He's not kidding. I asked Trey

243
00:15:08.720 --> 00:15:10.679
last night. I was like, Hey, how's it going with

244
00:15:10.759 --> 00:15:13.480
the YouTube stuff? And he's just like I was running.

245
00:15:13.679 --> 00:15:18.799
It's okay, he's off. If nothing else, go go take

246
00:15:18.840 --> 00:15:24.960
a look at it for the glowing boob's thumbnail. Trey,

247
00:15:26.240 --> 00:15:31.360
well done. Anyway, back to our regular dose of stupid.

248
00:15:32.919 --> 00:15:36.039
It's very difficult to come off the heels of an

249
00:15:36.120 --> 00:15:39.320
angry klingon running from New Hampshire State troopers, but here

250
00:15:39.360 --> 00:15:43.639
we are. There is big news in the restaurant industry.

251
00:15:44.840 --> 00:15:49.799
Hooters has announced plans to rebrand and promote a more

252
00:15:49.879 --> 00:15:55.399
family friendly atmosphere in the wake of their bankruptcy. And

253
00:15:55.919 --> 00:15:59.679
I really got to ask the question, if they take

254
00:15:59.720 --> 00:16:03.799
away the boobs to become a more family friendly atmosphere,

255
00:16:04.000 --> 00:16:07.360
will the outrage be the same as when Cracker Barrel

256
00:16:07.440 --> 00:16:09.519
got rid of the old timer and his barrel.

257
00:16:12.519 --> 00:16:14.919
Well, they brought the old timer and his barrel back

258
00:16:14.960 --> 00:16:18.919
I think two days later because the backlash. So, yeah,

259
00:16:18.960 --> 00:16:20.600
they can just leave those. They can just leave the

260
00:16:20.600 --> 00:16:23.120
Hooters outfits on the hangar in the back.

261
00:16:23.759 --> 00:16:24.000
I know.

262
00:16:24.159 --> 00:16:29.879
So Cracker Barrel got backlash, will Hooters get booblash? Oh?

263
00:16:29.919 --> 00:16:32.960
I'm sure. But then there's like Twin Peaks, there's a

264
00:16:32.960 --> 00:16:36.080
lot of there's a lot of restaurants out there, so

265
00:16:37.279 --> 00:16:41.320
if they wanted to, I mean, who went there for

266
00:16:41.360 --> 00:16:44.320
the food? I actually.

267
00:16:46.600 --> 00:16:50.840
And the fried pickles are excellent, the the the wings

268
00:16:50.879 --> 00:16:56.080
are good. The dropping the zip block bag of ice

269
00:16:56.159 --> 00:16:59.320
into the picture of beer, while simple, was very effective

270
00:16:59.320 --> 00:17:01.639
that very few their establishments did.

271
00:17:03.840 --> 00:17:06.200
The only reason I don't think that the backlash will

272
00:17:06.200 --> 00:17:10.039
be that extreme is because half the guys that go

273
00:17:10.119 --> 00:17:14.119
there are going there without their wife's permissions or knowledge.

274
00:17:14.759 --> 00:17:15.279
Mm hmmm.

275
00:17:16.240 --> 00:17:17.400
It's the Baptist trip club.

276
00:17:19.599 --> 00:17:23.319
It's the deal. It's the deal that the adult dad

277
00:17:23.319 --> 00:17:28.240
makes with his pre pubescent son for his eleventh birthday.

278
00:17:28.480 --> 00:17:31.839
All Right, we're gonna go here, but we don't tell mom.

279
00:17:32.039 --> 00:17:35.759
Yeah, but they claim to be family friendly, then who's

280
00:17:35.799 --> 00:17:38.240
taking a family in there? Like?

281
00:17:38.720 --> 00:17:44.279
Well, I also think I mean, when Hooters opened thirty

282
00:17:44.319 --> 00:17:47.480
five years ago, whatever it was, it was, it was

283
00:17:47.640 --> 00:17:51.720
riskue and everything and and it pushed an envelope. Now

284
00:17:53.079 --> 00:17:55.240
it's just very run of the mill. I mean, there's

285
00:17:55.279 --> 00:18:01.240
nothing scandalous there. I mean, didn't Twin Peaks is far

286
00:18:01.319 --> 00:18:04.119
more scanty Twin.

287
00:18:03.920 --> 00:18:09.079
Peaks tilted killed. And then there's some other places. I

288
00:18:09.160 --> 00:18:12.400
forget the name of it. There's one in Frisco, but

289
00:18:12.480 --> 00:18:15.160
it's one where they basically they're just running around in

290
00:18:15.240 --> 00:18:19.599
tank tops and thongs as as and masquerade as a

291
00:18:19.599 --> 00:18:23.720
sports bar and knock thank you, knockout for me.

292
00:18:23.759 --> 00:18:24.559
Actually there's one.

293
00:18:25.200 --> 00:18:28.279
Yeah, And look, I'm a big believer in you do

294
00:18:28.440 --> 00:18:31.759
you And if you want to go there and have

295
00:18:31.880 --> 00:18:36.720
some fried pickles, go for it. I though, while being

296
00:18:36.720 --> 00:18:40.759
a red blooded American man, I don't want your bee

297
00:18:40.759 --> 00:18:45.319
hole that close to my fried pickles, So I like

298
00:18:45.359 --> 00:18:47.640
a little more coverage. But again that's just me. That's

299
00:18:47.640 --> 00:18:50.079
more of a sanitary thing. But you're right, Tree, It's

300
00:18:50.119 --> 00:18:52.160
like Hooters just kind of got Hooters got caught in

301
00:18:52.160 --> 00:18:54.680
the middle. They got caught in the middle between say,

302
00:18:54.720 --> 00:18:58.400
wing Stop and which was on an actual family side

303
00:18:58.400 --> 00:19:02.640
of Wings versus hilted Kill twin Peaks, which was more

304
00:19:02.720 --> 00:19:07.000
risky than Hooters. So it's kind of caught in no

305
00:19:07.200 --> 00:19:08.319
owl land.

306
00:19:09.599 --> 00:19:11.599
Didn't they have a male version? Two?

307
00:19:11.880 --> 00:19:12.559
They did?

308
00:19:13.000 --> 00:19:15.920
Well, okay, they kind of. I don't know if it

309
00:19:15.960 --> 00:19:17.480
was ever actually going to be a thing.

310
00:19:18.880 --> 00:19:19.680
Oh they didn't open.

311
00:19:20.240 --> 00:19:25.000
That's actually what it was called. Things very close. Actually,

312
00:19:25.519 --> 00:19:27.119
I think there is a I think there is a place,

313
00:19:27.400 --> 00:19:30.039
if not currently used to be. Was it tally Whackers

314
00:19:30.119 --> 00:19:31.039
on Cedar Hill?

315
00:19:32.000 --> 00:19:34.279
It was on Lemon Avenue and it lived lasted about

316
00:19:34.279 --> 00:19:34.599
a year.

317
00:19:35.200 --> 00:19:37.440
Yeah, that's it.

318
00:19:39.079 --> 00:19:43.880
You got a lot of press in the beginning and

319
00:19:43.920 --> 00:19:46.440
then three months later dead.

320
00:19:47.039 --> 00:19:47.960
Just kind of went flaccid.

321
00:19:48.720 --> 00:19:54.200
Yeah, well see Hooters sells wings. Did tally Whackers specialize

322
00:19:54.200 --> 00:19:57.559
in hot dogs? Yes, just making sure I thought it did.

323
00:19:57.680 --> 00:19:58.640
I just wanted to make sure.

324
00:20:01.240 --> 00:20:05.200
But them, thankfully for most guys, the women, you know,

325
00:20:05.240 --> 00:20:06.599
really got tired of the big ones.

326
00:20:10.559 --> 00:20:12.160
The bun length ones had to go.

327
00:20:14.440 --> 00:20:17.160
You only take those foot longs so so much, just

328
00:20:17.279 --> 00:20:18.799
SUPs for so long.

329
00:20:18.920 --> 00:20:19.920
Yeah.

330
00:20:20.039 --> 00:20:23.200
So there's there's one guy who's been with the Hooters

331
00:20:23.240 --> 00:20:26.240
as a franchisee for many many years. He's trying to

332
00:20:26.279 --> 00:20:29.480
take over the company and steer it into this more

333
00:20:29.519 --> 00:20:33.960
of a family friendly realm. Apparently Hooters in recent years

334
00:20:33.960 --> 00:20:37.240
has tried to go a little more towards the scantily clad.

335
00:20:37.799 --> 00:20:41.160
Uh so the somehow the I guess the tank tops

336
00:20:41.160 --> 00:20:42.920
got a little bit shorter and I don't think you

337
00:20:42.920 --> 00:20:46.200
can get any tighter, uh and the shorts got a

338
00:20:46.240 --> 00:20:50.359
little bit narrower. But now they're saying they're basically going

339
00:20:50.400 --> 00:20:53.799
to go back to the original dress of the eighties,

340
00:20:53.839 --> 00:20:58.440
which was just the standard you know, orange shorts and

341
00:20:58.559 --> 00:21:00.680
the tank top, and let that be yet and then

342
00:21:01.279 --> 00:21:03.920
do some other things to welcome with open arms, more

343
00:21:03.920 --> 00:21:05.319
family friendly stuff.

344
00:21:07.240 --> 00:21:11.880
Yes, that'll make it more family friendly out.

345
00:21:13.160 --> 00:21:18.039
Yeah, it's it's being called a rehooterization.

346
00:21:19.559 --> 00:21:26.279
Oh I've done that a few times. Yeah, I just

347
00:21:26.319 --> 00:21:27.519
call it a new relationship.

348
00:21:27.599 --> 00:21:32.640
But yeah, it's the new orientation period.

349
00:21:40.240 --> 00:21:43.759

358
00:22:26.279 --> 00:22:32.400
making headlines five years later. In case you're wondering this, yes,

359
00:22:33.119 --> 00:22:35.400
this is a trade special.

360
00:22:38.039 --> 00:22:38.200
Uh.

361
00:22:38.720 --> 00:22:42.519
A Saint Tammany Parish judge has ordered the return of

362
00:22:42.519 --> 00:22:46.880
electronics belonging to an ex Roman Catholic priest who pleaded

363
00:22:46.880 --> 00:22:51.160
guilty to obscenity for being caught having sex with not

364
00:22:51.319 --> 00:22:57.319
one but two dominatrices atop a Pearl River church alter

365
00:22:58.319 --> 00:23:02.880
while still belonging to the clergy. In twenty twenty, however,

366
00:23:03.640 --> 00:23:07.000
the judge told authorities to erase all the data from

367
00:23:07.039 --> 00:23:11.640
the devices and storage media as a precaution against videos

368
00:23:11.680 --> 00:23:14.759
taken of the tryst from becoming public. My god, how

369
00:23:14.880 --> 00:23:18.000
juicy is that stuff. The ruling from the twenty second

370
00:23:18.039 --> 00:23:20.799
Judicial District Court Judge Ellen Creole came in the case

371
00:23:20.839 --> 00:23:26.319
centering on Travis Clark, as well as dominatrices whose professional

372
00:23:26.400 --> 00:23:33.519
names are Empress Ming and Lady Vai, also known as Satanatrix.

373
00:23:38.799 --> 00:23:44.240
Roman Catholic priest with not one but two dominatrices, one

374
00:23:44.240 --> 00:23:47.240
of whom is named Satana Trix.

375
00:23:48.680 --> 00:23:52.960
She is clearly not a beginner level no dominatrix and.

376
00:23:54.000 --> 00:23:56.319
If her head spins, yeah.

377
00:23:55.960 --> 00:23:59.319
Yeah, I mean he wanted to be part of the

378
00:23:59.400 --> 00:24:00.119
Ming dynasty.

379
00:24:00.640 --> 00:24:00.920
Uh.

380
00:24:01.000 --> 00:24:04.559
And then he also brings truth to the Devil's in

381
00:24:04.599 --> 00:24:07.359
the details, like.

382
00:24:08.480 --> 00:24:11.359
It sounds like he brought it and apparently they apparently

383
00:24:11.400 --> 00:24:13.920
they all brought it so well that the judge is like,

384
00:24:14.000 --> 00:24:16.559
we got to destroy this evidence now because if we

385
00:24:16.599 --> 00:24:17.680
can't let this stuff out.

386
00:24:19.880 --> 00:24:23.599
Yeah, that is a I'm glad. I'm glad it was

387
00:24:23.640 --> 00:24:26.400
with two dominatrix. That's That's all I can say about

388
00:24:27.119 --> 00:24:28.079
the Catholic Church.

389
00:24:28.759 --> 00:24:29.559
Yeah, yeah, exactly.

390
00:24:29.640 --> 00:24:29.839
Yeah.

391
00:24:29.920 --> 00:24:32.519
Even Trey when he emailed me the stories like look

392
00:24:33.799 --> 00:24:38.519
at least everyone was consenting and we're adults. So yeah.

393
00:24:38.559 --> 00:24:41.319
So but on one hand, you like when you when

394
00:24:41.359 --> 00:24:44.680
you tell the Catholic Church do better, they technically did.

395
00:24:47.279 --> 00:24:55.960
And on the other hand, a paddle uh yeah uh.

396
00:24:56.480 --> 00:25:01.240
The attorneys uh. The attorney for the priests said that

397
00:25:01.279 --> 00:25:04.160
the judge on August fourth signed an order authorizing law

398
00:25:04.240 --> 00:25:08.519
enforcement to return cell phones, tablets, computers, gaming consoles, flash

399
00:25:08.599 --> 00:25:12.799
drives and memory cards that they had seized while the

400
00:25:12.839 --> 00:25:19.559
investigation was ongoing. It's out of precaution. They basically said.

401
00:25:19.559 --> 00:25:21.880
They don't believe that there's a whole lot left on there,

402
00:25:22.720 --> 00:25:25.559
but they're just basically just making sure. I want to

403
00:25:25.559 --> 00:25:27.759
make sure that all this stuff has been wiped clean.

404
00:25:28.200 --> 00:25:30.119
One of the attorneys ated he does not believe the

405
00:25:30.119 --> 00:25:33.519
dominatri sees who ultimately pleaded guilty to misdemeanors have ever

406
00:25:33.599 --> 00:25:36.519
sought the return of electronics seized from them during the case.

407
00:25:36.599 --> 00:25:39.119
Yet if they ever did get them back, officials would

408
00:25:39.119 --> 00:25:42.279
wipe those of all of their data as well. What

409
00:25:42.359 --> 00:25:52.119
was the crime, well, the three so.

410
00:25:52.160 --> 00:25:54.359
I mean before you know, sitting in the eyes of

411
00:25:54.400 --> 00:25:58.240
the Lord.

412
00:25:57.240 --> 00:26:03.759
Directly in front of the eyes. Uh So. The priest,

413
00:26:05.400 --> 00:26:10.000
Impress Meing, and Satana Trix all fell under authority scrutiny

414
00:26:10.039 --> 00:26:13.559
after a passer by peering through a window saw the

415
00:26:13.599 --> 00:26:18.000
three filming themselves having sex on the sanctuary altar at

416
00:26:18.119 --> 00:26:22.559
Saints Peter and Paul Church on September thirtieth, twenty twenty.

417
00:26:23.160 --> 00:26:25.920
Police responded to the church after they were called by

418
00:26:25.960 --> 00:26:28.160
the passerby, who took a cell phone video of what

419
00:26:28.200 --> 00:26:32.599
he could see. Besides arresting the group, officers confiscated stage lights,

420
00:26:32.680 --> 00:26:36.039
recording devices, and sex toys. My god, it was a

421
00:26:36.039 --> 00:26:38.640
whole production going on inside that church. Wow.

422
00:26:38.759 --> 00:26:41.759
Wow, that is one great midnight mass.

423
00:26:43.519 --> 00:26:44.920
We'll talk about a side hustle.

424
00:26:45.240 --> 00:26:50.720
That's I mean, just imagine the attendants for that candlelight

425
00:26:50.799 --> 00:26:57.240
vigil be used like that.

426
00:27:01.079 --> 00:27:03.119
That's what you've had. That's when you've had too much

427
00:27:03.119 --> 00:27:13.680
blood of Christ. It's some more wafers that soak it

428
00:27:13.720 --> 00:27:14.079
all up.

429
00:27:17.279 --> 00:27:20.759
The women, the women who traveled to Pearl River from

430
00:27:20.799 --> 00:27:25.400
out of state pleaded guilty that same year to institutional vandalism,

431
00:27:25.559 --> 00:27:28.000
and like Clark, they were sentenced to probation.

432
00:27:30.000 --> 00:27:38.039
I mean, okay, he couldn't find one in Louisiana. Dominatrix

433
00:27:38.039 --> 00:27:38.680
in Louisiana.

434
00:27:39.640 --> 00:27:42.119
Look, I'm sure they exist. But if you have very

435
00:27:42.119 --> 00:27:46.559
specific tastes like an impress mean and a dominatrix that

436
00:27:46.640 --> 00:27:50.000
goes by the name Satana, tricks that may not be

437
00:27:50.079 --> 00:27:52.279
in your backyard. You may have to, you know, go,

438
00:27:52.759 --> 00:27:54.440
you may have to make a run for the border.

439
00:27:56.359 --> 00:27:58.039
Could have been more creative. At least, you know, one

440
00:27:58.079 --> 00:27:59.559
of them be called Mother Superior.

441
00:28:05.720 --> 00:28:06.839
That family stuff is hot.

442
00:28:06.880 --> 00:28:11.319
Mouth. Yeah, she's a step none.

443
00:28:14.720 --> 00:28:25.960
And you thought the glass was stained before. Oh, look

444
00:28:26.000 --> 00:28:27.160

Today is fred Day, September fifth, twenty twenty five. Let's

459
00:29:28.680 --> 00:29:40.759
celebrate today with some birthdays. All Right, he's no longer alive,

460
00:29:40.920 --> 00:29:43.400
but it is very worth mentioning to me as one

461
00:29:43.440 --> 00:29:46.720
of my favorite singers of all time from one of

462
00:29:46.720 --> 00:29:51.240
my favorite bands of all time. He may have passed

463
00:29:51.240 --> 00:29:55.720
away all the way back in nineteen ninety one from AIDS. However,

464
00:29:56.240 --> 00:29:59.000
today is Freddie Mercury's birthday, and I wish him a

465
00:29:59.119 --> 00:30:04.599
very happy birthday. They wherever he may be celebrating in

466
00:30:04.640 --> 00:30:11.279
whatever way, whether it's a bunch or a bunch of cats.

467
00:30:11.559 --> 00:30:15.799
Either way he seems to he'll probably be enjoying himself. Yes,

468
00:30:15.960 --> 00:30:18.039
happy birthday to one of the greatest rock and roll

469
00:30:18.079 --> 00:30:19.079
singers of all time.

470
00:30:19.480 --> 00:30:22.279
And Freddy Mercury and Indian.

471
00:30:24.680 --> 00:30:26.680
Yes, also also a little Indian.

472
00:30:27.000 --> 00:30:31.960
Really Yep he is Indian? Was his name?

473
00:30:32.720 --> 00:30:34.359
Really? Okay?

474
00:30:34.400 --> 00:30:38.039
That's cool because for Rouke just doesn't roll out the

475
00:30:38.079 --> 00:30:40.640
tongue the way that Freddie Mercury does.

476
00:30:41.240 --> 00:30:42.519
Yeah, yeah, he did.

477
00:30:51.160 --> 00:30:53.160
I'll just go ahead and make a notation there for

478
00:30:53.200 --> 00:30:53.799
that promo.

479
00:30:57.519 --> 00:31:01.279
Ready you need to leave now trade That was the

480
00:31:01.319 --> 00:31:05.240
line of the day. I think you're done, Go ahead,

481
00:31:05.279 --> 00:31:06.039
make a snack.

482
00:31:06.519 --> 00:31:13.680
Just like whoever's on Feruke's tongue is also done. All that.

483
00:31:15.359 --> 00:31:16.559
Is f A r o o q.

484
00:31:18.079 --> 00:31:20.680
What f A r o o q?

485
00:31:21.400 --> 00:31:27.519
Yes, and then Bulsara's b u l s A r A.

486
00:31:28.000 --> 00:31:32.000
It's like, I'm a white guy and I just the

487
00:31:32.440 --> 00:31:34.640
irony is not lost on me that I need help

488
00:31:35.079 --> 00:31:36.799
spelling an Indian person's name.

489
00:31:37.319 --> 00:31:39.000
And he went to school. He went to boarding school,

490
00:31:39.000 --> 00:31:43.759
and his nickname was Bucky because of his buck teeth.

491
00:31:44.839 --> 00:31:46.680
That's how cool kids were back then.

492
00:31:49.119 --> 00:31:52.640
And then later one of the greatest trust stops in

493
00:31:52.680 --> 00:31:58.640
the nation. Jokes to be had there where.

494
00:31:58.799 --> 00:32:01.720
Incidentally, we're Fred meant a lot of his boyfriend.

495
00:32:05.799 --> 00:32:09.400
Look, if you can find inspiration in the strangest of places,

496
00:32:09.440 --> 00:32:12.279
you just gotta look, just gotta look really really hard.

497
00:32:12.880 --> 00:32:17.119
Any beaber nuggets? That's all I gotstaid.

498
00:32:21.319 --> 00:32:29.720
Other birthdays today, actual birthdays today. Let's see here. Skander

499
00:32:29.839 --> 00:32:33.519
Keynes is thirty four. He played Edmund in the Chronicles

500
00:32:33.559 --> 00:32:36.799
of Narnia movies. Kat Graham is thirty six, playing Bonnie

501
00:32:36.799 --> 00:32:41.640
on The Vampire Diaries. Annabel Wallace is forty one. She

502
00:32:41.680 --> 00:32:45.039
played Jenny in the Tom Cruise Mummy movie. She was

503
00:32:45.200 --> 00:32:49.400
also the pregnant mom Mia in Annabelle so Annabel Wallace

504
00:32:49.759 --> 00:32:53.440
was in the movie Annabelle but Plato woman named mea

505
00:32:53.519 --> 00:32:57.359
so Go figure. Rose McGowan turns fifty two, dueezl Zappa

506
00:32:57.480 --> 00:33:01.200
fifty six from Rage Against the Machine and Audio Slave.

507
00:33:01.319 --> 00:33:04.599
Brad Wilke is fifty seven and one of the greatest

508
00:33:04.640 --> 00:33:09.880
actors of all time. Michael Keaton is seventy four years

509
00:33:09.920 --> 00:33:14.720
old today, known for such later known for such legendary

510
00:33:14.799 --> 00:33:19.359
roles as Beetlejuice, Batman and the Tim Burton Batman movies, Vulture,

511
00:33:19.519 --> 00:33:27.000
in Spider Man Homecoming, Multiplicity, Gung Ho h, and Good.

512
00:33:27.880 --> 00:33:31.079
It was recently brought to my attention thanks to social media.

513
00:33:31.680 --> 00:33:35.720
He plays the captain or the lieutenant in the movie

514
00:33:35.759 --> 00:33:40.359
The Other Guys, which starred Will Ferrell and Mark Wahlberg.

515
00:33:41.160 --> 00:33:43.720
And I've seen that movie and I liked it. But

516
00:33:43.799 --> 00:33:46.039
I saw clip the other day that reminds me maybe

517
00:33:46.039 --> 00:33:49.200
I need to go back and rewatch this film because

518
00:33:49.240 --> 00:33:52.160
it's really good. It's one of the that they showed

519
00:33:52.200 --> 00:33:56.359
like four or five scenes where Michael Keaton is yelling

520
00:33:56.400 --> 00:34:02.160
at Mark Wahlberg and Will Ferrell as police officers, and

521
00:34:02.200 --> 00:34:05.880
he always speaks in TLC lyrics but claims he doesn't

522
00:34:05.880 --> 00:34:11.199
know who the group is, so he'll tell the guys

523
00:34:11.239 --> 00:34:14.280
like stop chasing waterfalls and they're like, you don't hear that.

524
00:34:16.239 --> 00:34:18.639
I need to put on my rewatch list The Other Guys.

525
00:34:18.639 --> 00:34:22.639
But aside from that, Michael Keaton won Badass Actor seventy

526
00:34:22.679 --> 00:34:23.159
four today.

527
00:34:23.599 --> 00:34:26.239
He was a stand up comedian. Most people don't realize that,

528
00:34:27.000 --> 00:34:28.639
and his real name is Michael Douglas.

529
00:34:29.840 --> 00:34:33.760
Whoops, Okay, turns out Michael Douglas beat him to it.

530
00:34:34.199 --> 00:34:38.119
Yes, so he got the Keaton from Buster Keaton.

531
00:34:39.320 --> 00:34:41.159
Well, that'd be a about a movie that I'd be

532
00:34:41.159 --> 00:34:42.199
curious how it holds up?

533
00:34:42.280 --> 00:34:43.880
Is mister mom.

534
00:34:43.440 --> 00:34:44.800
Oh, I was just thinking about that.

535
00:34:44.880 --> 00:34:46.360
I was just thinking about the same thing.

536
00:34:47.159 --> 00:34:50.400
Because I went back and watched a Fish called Wanda.

537
00:34:50.480 --> 00:34:52.239
It holds up? Oh it's great.

538
00:34:52.519 --> 00:34:55.079
Yeah, that's good to know because that was on our

539
00:34:55.159 --> 00:34:59.079
list that we talked about that. Collider put out the

540
00:34:59.119 --> 00:35:02.519
top ten funniest movies over the last fifty years, and

541
00:35:02.760 --> 00:35:04.719
Fish called Wanda was like number eight or number nine.

542
00:35:06.360 --> 00:35:09.400
Yeah, but most people don't realize it was a stand

543
00:35:09.480 --> 00:35:12.280
up comic at the Lack Factory. But yeah, he just

544
00:35:12.320 --> 00:35:14.039
didn't hang out and so that's why he didn't get

545
00:35:14.039 --> 00:35:16.800
put on. He did an interview. He's like, I wouldn't

546
00:35:16.800 --> 00:35:19.119
hang out after shows, so I wouldn't like hang out

547
00:35:19.119 --> 00:35:21.079
with the other comics, so I didn't get put on

548
00:35:21.159 --> 00:35:24.079
other shows like around Town, so I would just do

549
00:35:24.119 --> 00:35:26.840
my set and leave. And he's like, well, thank god

550
00:35:26.880 --> 00:35:29.480
the acting thing worked out.

551
00:35:29.679 --> 00:35:31.599
Oh it's done him just fine.

552
00:35:32.039 --> 00:35:33.360
Yeah, I think he's okay.

553
00:35:37.360 --> 00:35:39.719
One of my favorite stories was when he was shooting

554
00:35:40.199 --> 00:35:45.719
spider Man Homecoming with Tom Holland. He's playing Vulture, but

555
00:35:46.199 --> 00:35:49.719
during their when they're really close up shooting scenes, he's

556
00:35:49.760 --> 00:35:51.800
whispering to Tom Holland, I'm Batman.

557
00:35:58.840 --> 00:35:59.400
I love that.

00:36:08.440 --> 00:36:10.000

565
00:37:20.239 --> 00:37:23.079
to do a separate video featuring you doing that. All right,

566
00:37:23.840 --> 00:37:25.719
let's actually I wanted to bring this up real quick

567
00:37:25.760 --> 00:37:27.679
because it's not enough that we've already talked a little

568
00:37:27.679 --> 00:37:31.800
bit about Michael Keaton and his seventy fourth birthday. Yeah,

569
00:37:31.800 --> 00:37:33.440
we talked about how great of an actor he is

570
00:37:33.480 --> 00:37:36.559
and so many great films that he's been in, But

571
00:37:36.679 --> 00:37:39.239
let me also point out he was one of the

572
00:37:39.400 --> 00:37:43.960
very few reasons to watch that abomination of a flash

573
00:37:44.000 --> 00:37:46.599
movie that came out a few years ago. Seeing Michael

574
00:37:46.719 --> 00:37:52.079
Keaton reprise his role as Batman in that movie made

575
00:37:52.159 --> 00:37:56.800
that movie watchable. While on a plane.

576
00:37:59.280 --> 00:37:59.960
I never saw it.

577
00:38:00.559 --> 00:38:03.280
Yeah, you don't need to, but I will say Michael

578
00:38:03.400 --> 00:38:06.519
Keaton is one of the few redeeming things in that movie.

579
00:38:06.559 --> 00:38:09.119
He's still good, He's still he still makes a good Batman.

580
00:38:10.119 --> 00:38:12.079
I don't know how he didn't win the Oscar for

581
00:38:12.159 --> 00:38:12.639
My Life.

582
00:38:14.719 --> 00:38:18.039
I'm with you. I love that movie. That movie is

583
00:38:18.119 --> 00:38:21.000
I think I've seen it three times and the only

584
00:38:21.039 --> 00:38:23.320
reason I haven't seen it more is because it is

585
00:38:23.360 --> 00:38:25.800
so hard to watch, because it's so good and it's

586
00:38:25.800 --> 00:38:28.760
so emotional and it's so sad. But it is truly

587
00:38:28.880 --> 00:38:29.639
a masterpiece.

588
00:38:29.639 --> 00:38:29.960
I'm with you.

589
00:38:29.920 --> 00:38:33.760
He should have won an Oscar for that. Mm hmmer,

590
00:38:36.719 --> 00:38:41.480
I don't think he has. Jerry, did you see that

591
00:38:41.519 --> 00:38:42.199
Flash movie?

592
00:38:44.719 --> 00:38:45.159
I have not.

593
00:38:45.400 --> 00:38:50.440
I have only watched the scenes with Michael Keaton's Batman.

594
00:38:50.599 --> 00:38:52.480
I just I can't. I can't.

595
00:38:53.159 --> 00:38:54.880
You've seen enough. Then as long as you've seen the

596
00:38:54.880 --> 00:38:56.760
move the scenes with him in them, then you're good.

597
00:38:57.199 --> 00:39:04.400
Yeah. I mean, I premise. And it's the.

598
00:39:06.280 --> 00:39:14.320
DCEU wanted to beat Marvel two their Multiverse thing, and

599
00:39:14.360 --> 00:39:16.519
that was the whole thing about how their movies they

600
00:39:16.519 --> 00:39:18.679
were just cramming so much together just to get there

601
00:39:18.719 --> 00:39:20.639
so fast so that they could do their Avengers thing.

602
00:39:20.679 --> 00:39:23.079
Which was the Justice League or super Friends whatever.

603
00:39:23.679 --> 00:39:24.000
Yeah.

604
00:39:25.000 --> 00:39:28.119
Yeah, that's the problem that Hollywood runs into sometimes, is

605
00:39:29.039 --> 00:39:32.880
in a race to be first, you end up sucking.

606
00:39:34.320 --> 00:39:36.480
Like there's something to be said about taking your time

607
00:39:36.519 --> 00:39:41.320
and doing it the right way, and yeah, that just yeah.

608
00:39:42.199 --> 00:39:45.679
Michael Keaton has won zero Oscars, but he was nominated

609
00:39:45.960 --> 00:39:49.079
for Best Actor in twenty fourteen for Birdman.

610
00:39:49.400 --> 00:39:53.000
For Birdman, yeap, which that's one I have not seen.

611
00:39:54.440 --> 00:39:57.599
Really good, Yeah, okay, really really good.

612
00:39:59.000 --> 00:40:02.599
He was also really good as Ray crock in The Founder,

613
00:40:02.760 --> 00:40:06.320
which was based on the history of McDonald's. Yeah, so

614
00:40:06.440 --> 00:40:09.599
bird Man, is that what's that about?

615
00:40:12.239 --> 00:40:16.079
If I'm remember correctly, it's a it's a stage actor.

616
00:40:18.159 --> 00:40:20.639
It's not years and years and years ago. It's really good.

617
00:40:21.000 --> 00:40:24.360
He's he's a stage actor. But his character is what's

618
00:40:24.480 --> 00:40:28.280
like the superhero characters, what's following him around like in

619
00:40:28.280 --> 00:40:32.039
his head? Oh okay, i'd lose your guess.

620
00:40:32.480 --> 00:40:32.840
I don't know.

621
00:40:32.920 --> 00:40:37.719
Maybe, yeah, but I think that's the base premise of

622
00:40:37.760 --> 00:40:38.239
that movie.

623
00:40:38.280 --> 00:40:39.840
But okay, so so.

624
00:40:39.760 --> 00:40:41.840
It kind of makes sense to cast somebody in that.

625
00:40:44.199 --> 00:40:46.039
Yeah, he he he.

626
00:40:45.760 --> 00:40:49.519
He had found a lot of success as a superhero actor,

627
00:40:50.119 --> 00:40:52.239
and his career has gone down, and I also think

628
00:40:52.280 --> 00:40:56.559
there's a kind of a bit of dementia happening there.

629
00:40:57.280 --> 00:40:59.039
And so he's trying to come up with this big

630
00:40:59.079 --> 00:41:01.679
stage play that's gonna reinvigorate his career, and he's trying

631
00:41:01.719 --> 00:41:04.679
to do all of it and he's being followed around

632
00:41:04.679 --> 00:41:05.800
by his Birdman character.

633
00:41:07.599 --> 00:41:09.840
Just got it.

634
00:41:10.199 --> 00:41:12.119
Yeah, I still.

635
00:41:11.880 --> 00:41:20.000
Say he was really good in Hegan Thompson. He's mounting. Yeah,

636
00:41:20.039 --> 00:41:22.920
but yeah, it's it's mounting an ambitious Broadway production that

637
00:41:22.920 --> 00:41:26.280
he helps new life into his stagnant career. So that's

638
00:41:26.320 --> 00:41:27.760
what it is. That's what's following him out.

639
00:41:27.800 --> 00:41:27.960
Yeah.

640
00:41:28.400 --> 00:41:32.480
Yeah, if you've if you've never watched it, google his

641
00:41:33.559 --> 00:41:36.719
graduation speech. It's like he's getting a graduate some kind

642
00:41:36.719 --> 00:41:41.760
of award at a graduation ceremony speech. It's about twenty

643
00:41:41.760 --> 00:41:45.360
five seconds long and he just just remember there are

644
00:41:45.400 --> 00:41:48.679
two words, you know, always no, always live by. I

645
00:41:48.719 --> 00:41:50.840
won't bore you with a lot of details, just remember

646
00:41:50.880 --> 00:41:51.639
these two words.

647
00:41:52.039 --> 00:41:52.599
I'm Batman.

648
00:41:58.559 --> 00:42:00.920
That is a that is a true commencement.

649
00:42:04.280 --> 00:42:05.039
That's gonna be a bitch.

650
00:42:05.039 --> 00:42:07.199
Though you really didn't get any recognition for being Batman,

651
00:42:07.440 --> 00:42:09.119
but then you're nominated for Birdman.

652
00:42:13.679 --> 00:42:17.000
I feel like that. Yeah, I feel like that's one

653
00:42:17.039 --> 00:42:19.280
of those like hollywoods trying to force one on him

654
00:42:19.320 --> 00:42:20.760
kind of a deal. It's like, we know he's great,

655
00:42:20.800 --> 00:42:24.039
We're just trying to find something close enough that no

656
00:42:24.039 --> 00:42:26.480
one's gonna complain that we gave him an oscar for

657
00:42:26.519 --> 00:42:27.000
this film.

658
00:42:27.880 --> 00:42:29.400
I'll get a Lifetime Achieving award.

659
00:42:30.159 --> 00:42:33.360
Sure, that's Holly what apologizing for Val Kilmer.

660
00:42:38.480 --> 00:42:43.199
