I'm Dan, O'Malley along with Trey Trenholm and Rebecca Black. Coming up on the show today is Masters of the Universe, a masterful flop. Also the pencil case no one's kids will be asking for when it's back to school time. And two, yes, two major doodoo controversies. So if you like what you hear today, be sure to share the show with a friend.

All right, Let's jump right in to a major doodoo controversy. Surveillance video of a woman using a neighbor's trash can for her dog's poop bag has the Internet split. I love with the Internet split makes me smile. A woman walking her dog casually discarded her dog's poop bag in her neighbor's trash can cam. The video went viral, leaving people divided over the behavior. While some did not mind if it were them, others expressed criticism. The incident appeared to have you know, caught on surveillance camera, but it basically shows a woman who's picked up her doggie poop. She's got it in the baggie and is walking by someone else's trash can out you know, outside, opens the lid, drops it in, goes about her business. And I guess the owner of the footage took issue with it and posted it online to see what the internet thought, which is always dangerous proposition, and everyone seemed pretty split. Is it okay to put your dog's poopy stuff in somebody else's street trash can or not? We are all dog people,

2:13 we all have dogs, We've had dogs our whole lives. We are animal lovers. I don't think I'm gonna break any new ground by saying I don't love the doggy poop poo situation, but it is what it is as a dog owner, when you're walking, you know, when you're walking your best friend around the neighborhood. So do you carry it with you and bring it home or do you casually drop it into a neighbor's bucket? Trey, let's start with you. I'm curious where you. Fall on this I have no qualms about not dropping it in a neighbor's bucket, especially in Dallas, where if the cans are out that means they're getting picked up. These are not cans that go inside. It's they are city issued trash cans.

2:59 Yeah, so it's not like I'm going inside your kitchen and dropping it in that trash can and then gras outside, right. And especially if there is still trash in there to be picked up. But yeah, it's this is actually that happened to me, and you know, somebody uh had a fit. I mean, and I was dealing with Daisy, you know, so her turds were about the size of a you know, a peanut and a shell and. Uh, basically the same size as squirrel turns. Squirrel turds might be bigger. I've seen some big Dallas squirrels. So yeah, yeah, and Daisy, Daisy, sweet little angel, tiny little thing. Therefore, the turds are even smaller. You could step on and probably not even know.

3:47 I mean, if this was something that you were putting inside and someone was going back inside someone's house or anything like that, I can understand where people would be upset. These are cans that set out and you roll them to the front or alleyway where, depending on where you live. So I do not see the problem in it with it at all. Rebecca on this doodo controversy, do you drop it in the neighbor's bucket or do you save it for your own? If I'm being honest, I probably would not drop it in the neighbor's bucket. That said, like, I will take my own home. If they're my dogs, I'm responsible for their poop right. However, I do not care if somebody else were wanting to dump their dog poop bag into my trash can. I welcome it because that is a far better alternative than just leaving the poop in my yard.

4:42 So if you're willing to pick it up, my trash can is free for you to use. So that's kind of where I fall on this. It's a I feel conflicted shocker. I'm finding the gray area on this story. On the whole, I think it's fun to use somebody else's trash can that's out on the public property on the curb and the alleyway kind of thing. If you're going on to someone else's property, like to the back of the driveway or something. To then put it in their can. That's a no no. But that's because it's property trespassing. That has nothing to do with the doo doooh that that you do. Sorry, I had to, So I think it's fine to drop your dog's mess in somebody else's trash canon when it's right out there.

5:27 But I feel weird about it. Yes, it's like a respect thing. It's like, yeah, don't, I don't. I don't know what. You kind of see me recoiling like a turtle in the shell that I don't have. But it's like, I feel weird picking up and I know it's not their can, it's the cities you picked the lad you drop the thing, But just for some reason, I just feel I feel weird if I do it now if I was desperate, If I was desperate, I will do it. But otherwise I feel weird about touching and doing that, so i'd take it home. We're the same page, Dan, No, I'm the same. I feel the same as you, Trail are we weird. I'm still fist at you about that dodo that you do. Line. You should be ashamed of yourself.

6:09 I should take that and drop it in a can. Yes, yeah, not not in your neighbors. Keep it in your own. They don't deserve that. Kind of stink, uh if it and and again they're really there are lines here. If it's someone's private trash can, that I absolutely think you should take it home. Yeah, I And and a lot of times I would just take take whatever home and put it in the trash shoot or whatever. But again, if it's a big public you know, city issued can, and especially if it's out there for pick up, so it's not like the person's gonna have to deal with it, I see no problem with it. And what what Rebecca said. Also, I would much rather, like much rather then pick it up and put it in a can, you know, then just leave it, because that that's generally your two alternatives.

7:09 I mean, if so, yeah, please just pick up your dog's poop. So plot twist, let me let me, let me see, let me change the parameters here and see if your answers change it all. So you're walking your dog and the trash truck goes by. Do you try to throw it to make it into the back of the trash truck as it goes by, or do you just take it home? No, because then you might hit the guy carry in the trash. That's the last thing I want to do is kiss off my trash people. I'm sorry, sounds like fun to me. I think I could hit this. No, that's how you end up with, like no trash ever taken from your property ever. Again, Like, do not mess with those people. They're doing the lord's work. Leave them alone.

7:55 No, no, I'm not in the trash truck, not in the path, in the cabin. No, no, no, do you guys not have a guy that hangs off the back. We have two guys that hang off the backs. If you even. Accidentally miss this is where it goes very very wrong. So why risk it? Why risk it? It is a high risk situation. You're giving me anxiety at the thought that you might accidentally hit one of these poor people in the head. Well Number one, there's always at least three guys on a trash truck, so you're you're liable to get just an ass whipping. Uh correct. So no, I'm willing to bet there's a fourth guy you never see, just in case, Yeah, did you never want to see the fourth guy?

8:44 That's what makes him gone really south? If you see the fourth trash guy that may be the last person you ever see. Uh No, I would not do that. But it is like occasionally I've the trash truck will go by and be like, I bet it get hit that. But yeah, I mean it's it's it's too much of a risk because I love I love those guys. I love what they do. I appreciate what they do, and I would not want there to be any misrepresentation of my respect for them by throwing a poopy bag into the back of the truck unless they unless they were away from the truck. If they were picking up cans and they were away, then I might, But otherwise I don't want to throw poopoo near somebody, or if it. Types the wave you on, you know, like if you've got one in your hand and be like oh wait wait and then they'll wave you on right, Like I appreciate a wave on, like tell me it's okay.

9:33 I would just like to point out if there are any sanitation workers that listen. Dan is the one who thought about throwing poop at you. The rest of us did not. We did not never want to mine. Never Trey, you know how you hated when I said the dodo that you do you're really about to hate this? What if me and the trash guy have a communication, like we lock eyes and we understand that this could be an assist type situation where I throw the poopy bag towards him and he does the alley poop into the back of the trash truck and it's a team effort. No, those bags, Let Rebecca stop. Let him sit in that.

10:15 One ali ali poop. Let him sit that's. What you wanted. You wanted to get to the alley poop joke. That's terrible, thank you. What stinks worse those two? Those two really bad jokes, or the dog poop that I picked up this morning. Honestly, it might be a toss up. However, Dan, if you ever want to try that it, just make sure terror is filming, please. Yeah, that would probably be good because it'll probably end up as evidence of some sort. I think that'll be the first step for me being able to take you on roller coasters.

10:58 Real quick, Rebecca, I need to catch you up on this. I'm not sure if you're fully aware. Trey is counting down the days when I inevitably have a stroke and I'm in a vegetative state, and he can take me around to all the places and do all the things that I would never want to do as a normal functioning human, first of which would be Chinese roller coasters that have very few regulations. Okay, I love this. This is this is the TV show in the making right here. It really is. It's it's like Tuesdays with Maury, but really horrendous. It's like Tuesdays with Maury meets hostile. For I was like Weekend at Bernie's meets also that. Yeah, I've already lived Weekend at Bernie's. I don't need to do it again on the other one. All right, let's shift to a different doodoo controversy. Now, this one fascinated me because I feel too. If you will, thank you, thank you for coming on the poopy truck with me.

11:57 She rim shots the air and Trey just rolls his eyes so heavily it could pull planets into it. Okay, due to controversy number two. Hey, let me just I'll have this ready, yeah from now on. Yeah, there you go, always ready, just in case. You may only use it once a month or so, but it's fine. Yeah. Along with the sad trombone, A furious farmer sprayed manure on cars who were parked illegally in his field, and he said he did it because he has fed up of tourists and their abuse. I believe this was in the UK. Hog Hodgson took action after dozens of drivers ignored warnings and left their vehicles on his land. This is in the Lake District, Cumbria. So this guy has an issue with all these tourists parking their cars on his property. And like any good farm, there's a fan, there's a gate, and on the fence next to the gate there's private property. No trespassing. And because he's had these issues with people in the past, it says don't park here. Hey, you, this is private property, do not park here. And he got so fed up that he's like, that's it. I'm taking matters into my own hands. And as I just said, the entrance to the Sheep farmers field was marked with multiple signs reading do not park and sheep in field, but numerous cars,

13:27 including Mercedes, Jaguars and BMW's that park just makes me smile, were parked on the grass by thoughtless tourists. This prompted Hog to shower the inconsiderate trespassers vehicles in manure, footage showing the cars coated in brown splatters, causing many of the tourists to be very pissed off, post on social media themselves saying how dare you? And I don't know how much the Internet's divided on this one, but to me this seems pretty obvious. Yes, it said don't park there. He gave you four hundred signs before you actually entered in the property and parked like you were warned. Yeah, I also love what the what the farmer says.

14:11 Speaking to Mail Online, he said, I'm not proud of what I did. I think you should be. He says, I didn't do it for any particular reason other than the way tourists behave. I just get fed up with the way they treat the lake district. I am sick of being abused by people when I asked them not to park on our land. Everything I did was on the field. I didn't get a drop on the road. So it's on his own property. It's not like he was an accident when you were passing by. This has been an ongoing thing with gypsies and farmers. Yeah, especially in France, but really, yeah, that because yeah, the gypsy's running the big caravans and they'll set up shop pretty much where and so yeah, like the farmers will get together. It's like multiple tractors and everything, and they will just start and it's a it's a almost a liquid manure fertilizer compound that they use, so uh, yeah, they'll get a good soaking.

15:19 I'm all about people being punished for their poor behavior, so I love this story. I do too. But also if this were my car and it was getting sprayed with some sort of liquid manure, like I'm just going to buy a new car because. The germ situation getting into it touching it. No, no, thank you. Well. The other thing about this is the fact that these are tourists, so I don't know if some of these vehicles might be rental cars, at which point I hope you got the insurance. M. The farmer says he often has to deal with tourists leaving litter and breaking fences, so it's not just about you know, smashing grass or whatever. Yeah, and he says this is the long standing issue and he had finally had enough, and this is around this national park, so he doubted them.

16:10 I think they deserve it, And like I said, I wasn't sure how divided this story would make people, but apparently most people seem to be on his side. Support flooded in for him online, one person saying, this guy must be so frustrated. Honestly, that sounds that sounds very British. Another one said if this was my field, I would do so much worse just for the audacity of ignoring my signs. So there in lives. My follow up question, if this was your land, what would you do? I I would have target practice, but I would clearly miss.

16:57 That's how Texans would deal with this. This you know shit, You know you don't deal with in Texas people breaking down your fence and parking on your land because yeah, your car is gonna have have, you know, some extra ventilation. Is it bad that I can think of like a million different ways that I would get back at people. I think I would start with just buying a bag of nails and just. It's pretty good. Yeah, there's this is one of those things where you can get lost, Yes, in the fever dream and the fantasy of the things I would do to these idiots to deliver the vengeance and the comeuppance that they so rightfully deserve.

17:38 M m. Ooh, you could, like, wait, this is not even a bad one. This is a good idea. You could literally just soak the property until it is like a mud pit, so when they go to get out, they can't get out, and then they gotta call tow trucks. You could you could get a tow truck friend and start a business on this situation. That's where I am make some money on it. Yes, as soon as they park, start pulling cars, and then you get a cut along with the tow truck company, and now you got a good business and just kind of partition that land. Anyway, that's I think probably the more straightforward way that I would go. Although Trey looks like he's putting his Bond villain face on. What do you have?

18:22 Well, No, I think that's an excellent idea, But I also think there would have to be you know, an oopsie daisy, oh, you have two flat tires when you go get your car out of the impound lot. Don't know how it happened. Yeah, it sucks to be you sure does. The other route that I was thinking, as Rebecca said, turning it into a slushy mudfield when they drive into that spot on the property, is it? Is it instead of mud? It'd be like one of those old school medieval battles where it's like got oil and stuff and gasoline and then when they get in it, you should have flaming arrow. Then there they go. Any other time of year, you know, if you've already whatever crops you have, if you've already harvested those, and he sometimes you have to do a burnoff on the field and just get rid of the dry vegetation.

19:09 So that's true. Yeah, Two Birds, one fires. Listen is online at Freehouse on Air dot com. Time out to talk to Daniel Cook from COOKDFW Roofing and Restoration. A man of many talents.

Back inside the Treehouse, Dan Trey and Rebecca and it is time for birthdays. Today is Wednesday, June tenth, twenty twenty six. Birthdays today. One of the most unfair humans on the planet, Elizabeth Hurley, is sixty one and still looks thirty one.

22:09 Yeah, it's not fair, mm hmm. And I give her credit as far as I know. She's not hoking any sort of like peptid cream, like snake oil type stuff like a lot of influencers, Dojesus out there living her best life dating Billy Ray cyrus. Bro I was gonna say that's the downside right there. She's dating Billy Ray, Cyrus. I mean, look, maybe I don't know. They've they've bonded, and obviously good for Billy. Yeah, uh he that guy can pull, Yeah he can. And that's that's wow. Bill Burr is fifty eight today, not only not only one of the best comedians going right now, but he has been for a number of years.

22:56 And try I think I told you the story not that long ago. Bill Burr's are Actually I met him once, very very nice dude, and I met him. God, this was, I guess back in our Live one O five three days, so this would have been two thousand and six, seven eight, somewhere in there. It was late night at the Improv. Actually, no, I think it was after that. I think it was in our in between period between Live one O five to three and the Eagle Tray. Well, I mean I was unemployed for four months, but I worked at the Fan for in that time period as well, right, But so it was in that. It was in that the weird space of our broadcast careers, and one night at the Improv, hanging out afterwards, Bill Burr had headlined, and I think it was me and a couple other guys in the lobby right in front that hallway right in front between Peach Piano bar and the improv. Talked to Bill for a lot. I don't know, it was like half an hour, just and it was after the show. Yeah, just a very very very cool guy and miracle. Bill Burr fifty eight.

24:01 Today. Gina Gershan is sixty. Four, another even in her age. Known for Face Off, Show Girls and Bound. I believe the movie Bound is the one that has like one of the more famous lesbian scenes, at least for its time. I think that was her, and it's like Jennifer Tilley or something. I think so something like that. Anyway, Gina Gershan sixty four. Today. Kate Flannery is sixty two. You may not know her name, but you probably know her character. She is Meredith from the Office. Yes, Jean Tripplehorn is sixty three. She was in Basic Instinct as Michael Douglas's love interest opposite you.

24:46 Know, Shared Stone. Thank you on the Why. I was about to say Kim Basinger, but I know that wasn't right. And if I remember that movie right, wasn't Jean triple rt Like she was the actual villain in the movie. Sorry spoiler alert if you haven't seen this thirty year old movie. I don't remember honestly. Like I just remember all the stuff leading up to it. I barely remember the ending. It was mostly like I remember, like the sex scenes and her is she reaching for the ice pick situation, which in Trey's younger years he might have been like, yeah, do it as he turns his head and he's like, yeah, pretty much so Geene Triplehorn sixty three. Today, this was an interesting one for me Lely Sobieski is forty three. She's been starred movies such as Never Been Kissed. She also played Joan of arc I think I remember her most as the love interest in the kids baseball movie Rookie of the Year with Thomas and Anderson, the kid who had like the arm he broke his arm and then he could throw like one hundred miles per hour. Yes, she played the love interest opposite him in that movie.

25:55 I did not know that. How's that for a random pull man? You always have the rand the movie. Facts always, and also not that that wasn't necessarily a compliment. I didn't take it as one. Believe me, somewhere my wife, My wife agrees with you. That movie is a soft spot in my heart, Trey, I think you might be a little old to have enjoyed Rookie of the Year. But it did have Daniel Stern as the clubhouse manager for the Cubs who kept swallowing his chaw which made me laugh as a kid. And Gary Busey as the aging old Nolan Ryan Base like Roger Clemens type when back when Gary Busey could speak normal.

26:39 He's a hot mess these days. Like it's I follow him on Instagram. It's a watch. I think you have to. I think it's like mandatory social media follow Like there are certain people that everyone needs to follow. To me, Gary Busey is one of those. One of the last videos we saw was him. He was at a restaurant and he was saying something about the weekend or Saturdays and one of his initial acronym things that he was trying to do, and he's like spitting food out of his mouth landed on like the phone that the person was holding to record him. The clothes he was wearing looked like they've actually never been washed.

27:21 I just like, he just looks disheveled all the time now, and I'm like, I know you got people that can help. Take care of you. His name's Jake. Is there another beauty kid there? Oh, that's a good question. I don't know. I don't either. I'm just I was just wondering. It's like it was Jake truly saddled with it. I mean, I feel like, if there was Jake ate. Them, It's possible. It's very he got the chompers, he did of all the things to get from Dad, they're. Literally he's a spitting image of Dad spitting. Sorry, that's true, all right. Is the new Masters of the Universe movie a masterful flop? Oh?

28:08 Man? So I didn't have high hopes for this movie. No, but there's definitely some conflicting things happening about this movie. The audience score last I checked on Rotten Tomatoes for Masters of the Universe is eighty eight percent for the audience. What oh okay, yeah, yeah, The overall score is like sixty seven percent. So the critics are panning the crap out of it, which, honestly, that does not surprise me in the least. I've seen the trailers and I look, I'm an eighties kid, eighties and nineties kid at heart. I grew up with the toys. I loved the cartoon.

28:49 I just don't know. It. It can't be worse than the Dolph Lungern version. That is a low Are you're right? Wait a minute, there's a Dolph Lungern version. How do I not recall this? Because I was just thinking if maybe if it had been made thirty five years ago, it would have done better because. That was like our generation growing up. I did not. Know there was a Dolph lng late late eighties of. Okay, I kind of want to watch that. Have fun with that. First of all, I love me some Dolph lungdren. Well really yeah, Like he. Was the bad guy in Rocky. It was awesome.

29:29 And notice he didn't have he didn't have a lot of lines in Rocky. Oh. I mean I've seen him in The Expendables or whatever. He does a little bit better. That's also thirty years later, with better English and everything else. Very true. He's held up very nicely. I will say, he has the So, Rebecca, your love for Dolph Lunger, which I never thought i'd say that. Yeah, is it? Is it more of an artistic respect or are you just all about that Dolph bod. Oh the bod without question? Yeah? Now you do know he's like a mechanical engineer, right, Like he's genius. Yes, I do. That's adds to it. Honestly, he's smart and handsome. Come on, he's the total package.

30:12 Yeah, not mad about it. I mean he could. He could probably rail you through a wall and then give you, you know, physics formulas afterwards on how he did it. Yeah, I fully expect. I'm with you, Dan that it's it's something that I want to see and I expect it to be can't be cheesy, like I I want Skeletor to be a little you know, like the cartoon. Yeah, you know stuff on Instagram that I love so much. Uh, Skeletor PSAs. That's kind of what we want, is like a movie version of that.

30:53 That's the point though, isn't it supposed to be like the cartoon? And did they go way too serious with it? I don't think they did, because based on a couple the trailers that I've seen, and there was one clip that I saw like a week or so ago, between Skeletor and Evil Linn and like the bad guys around him, and it's very much a tongue in cheek, cheesy, campy, funny thing on the backdrop of a silly eighties cartoon. So I kind of feel like, if you're going into it as a movie critic, you have to lower the bar, Like you're not gonna see. This isn't gonna be Citizen Kane. The shear as Hell is not Forced Gump. It's not the piano, thank god. So it's like just kind of adjust your expectations accordingly and take the movie for what it's intended to be, not for what you thought it should have been.

31:42 Is there no forty something year old critic who watched this growing up? That's like, Yeah, I'm feeling all the nostalgia for this film. Do those people just not exist anymore? I think they do. They're just not necessarily the publications so like they're the like the off they're like the outlier reviewers that you got to look at, Like find someone online that says I grew up what I saw this on Birds the other day that guys said I grew up on this show and I loved the movie for all the reasons that you said Trey for its campiness, silliness, all that. Well. Number one, who's a film critic these days? Like I don't even know who we consider critics anymore. Good papers don't do papers even employ critics anymore. Hey, by the way, this is a side note.

32:26 Mm hmm. Do you how much a Sunday Dallas Morning News costs? Now? Oh? No, I don't. Uh hang on, I'm gonna try to. I'm trying to remember the last time I paid for one what it costs. I want to say the last time I paid for one, it was like maybe two fifty. Just for one paper, yes, Sunday with the Sunday edition. Okay, I'm gonna say seven fifty. I'm gonna go seven fifty one. Both are too high. Uh, six dollars was like what? And and it's half the size what you know a Sunday paper used to be.

33:07 Yeah, because they don't have anybody that works there anymore. There's they have to do at all. Well, that's kind of my question about the critics is I feel like critics now are a bunch of young bloggers and influencers and there's no real actual I mean, I know I think Ert still does some, but other than that, I'm not sure if he does. I don't think so either. I don't he used to have like the TV show or whatever. And I don't I think he's that now. Well yeah, I mean, but there's no, there's not even the whole magic of Ciskel and Ebert. This show was you were actually gonna see previews that possibly you hadn't seen first, but now everything's leaked and online way beforehand.

33:51 So yeah, who was that local Dallas guy that we used to have y'all remember him that did movies? Uh? Yeah, I mean I just remember? Uh god, what was her name on Channel five? Bobby? Yes? Oh I loved her. Yeah, Bobby Wygant. I almost said Bobby Foot, but that was our old promotions coordinator at the Eagle. Hey, Bobby, that was definitely not him. Sorry, yeah, Bobby Wygant, I remember her? And Gary? Uh, the guy for Tantellate Gary. Yeah, the one he would do with the fly impersonation on TV that was really good and also really freaky. We all know who we're talking about. No, yeah, Gary, Yeah, Gary?

34:33 Those were good times. Why are we not bringing this kind of stuff back? I wonder nobody watches the news, Well they do, it's just you gotta gets, like anything reason to watch, not. Network, not not the local. I mean, gosh, you look at I mean you look at their numbers. No, Loox four kills it, but the scale to which they kill it has diminished greatly. I have no what is that, Especially on the radio side of things. I was looking at radio ratings the other day. I was like, oh, why so it's interesting, but it's interesting what trade. What you just said as far as the TV ratings is very accurate with the radio side as well. It's like there were, you know, ratings, the ratings are lower. So like your your top show, your top stations, whatever, might be number one, but their share values have diminished greatly because not as many people are tuning into it. So yeah, you can be number one, but you might have a fraction of the audience that you did five years ago.

35:34 I do just feel like there's a resurgence for this type of content. I don't know how though, because. I'm like, I'm so ready to give up all of my technology stuff and just do things really old school like we did in the nineties. Like yeah, not not going all the way back to like colonial times, which sometimes people will do for like a week long vacation with the kids, but just a measured back. Right, No, Like I want to build clubhouses and play with fire works in the afternoon after work. That's kind of what we used to do when we were always in person. See fine, I guess we need to blow up more stuff. Something else that's interesting about this Masters of the Universe situation is the fact that Jared Leto, who plays Skeletor, is nowhere in the promotion of the film.

36:20 I was about to say, I had no idea to you just told me that. And he's not been promoting it in any way in person. He hasn't been promoting it in any way on social media. They think because it's Amazon MGM that put the movie together, right, And there's an entire article on Gizmoto that talks about you'll hear Jared Leto as Skeletor and Masters in the Universe, but you sure aren't going to hear anyone act like he's in it. Weird. The disdain the disdain some people have for Jared Leto, whether it's for his acting or in his past sexual assault allegations. Nothing that's been proven is apparently enough for Amazon to act like he doesn't even exist. Skeletor is all over the marketing for the film, but Jared Leto isn't and per a different outlet, this is something Jared Leto is not thrilled about. He was paid five million dollars for the role, has not been and he's been put on a gag order since production rapped, didn't show up to the film's premiere, not doing any promo like everyone else in the movie, not doing any social media.

37:27 They think because he's like an albatross for major films, because he's had some major flops. The tron Airs thing major flop, the Morebius thing out of Sony slash Marvel major flop. There was another one as well, so people think he's box office poison. And if that was the case, then why'd you cast him his skeleton, especially when it doesn't look like him at all and it doesn't sound like him at all? So why even take the chance like you kind. Of got with it? Nobody on that. If you're not going to promote your the biggest star in the movie, you might as well have just picked a nobody who's never acted in anything before. A waste of money. Yeah, you get the guy five million dollars and told them that I don't tell anyone you're in it, right, that's wild?

38:10 Can I can I get five million dollars to be in a movie. That no one knows that I'm in? I would love to do that. I'll keep my mouth shut forever. I don't no problem. Uh so, yeah, I'm just I'm I'm totally fascinated a by the movie, the response to it, I'm and the fact that the own distributor of the film is like just putting Jared Letto and in a deep dark corners thing. No one, no one tell anybody that he's in this, even though we gave him five million dollars. That's so like insulting Jared Leto. Yeah, and his movie. I mean, he's been in some hit movies I don't know. But he hasn't led one. It's like it's like like there's a Hollywood thing. It's like, yeah, you might be a fine actor, but can you carry a film by yourself, like be the lead? Can you carry a franchise?

38:59 Like? Jared Leto is great in Fight Club partly because he was pretty and then Brad Pitt made him ugly. That was kind of the reason he was in that. I will say Jared Leto is still one of the best concerts I've ever seen. As the front man for thirty seconds to Mars it was amazing. But yeah, I mean, for whatever, sometimes I think it's a fine actor just maybe just some just really bad luck. I don't know. I did love this though, from one of the heads at Amazon MGM. This is from Kevin Wilson, Amazon MGM's domestic distribution chief via Variety Magazine director Travis Knight. In the entire cast and filmmaking team have delivered something truly special and this opening is exactly the kind of critical first moment that validates our holistic distribution strategy, building awareness and engagement that will carry well beyond the theatrical window.

39:58 First of all, what LinkedIn speak are you spewing out a premiere? Yeah, our holistic distribution strategy? What a what a work do? It's not a thing? And in essence, what he's saying is, look, we don't care really about how much it makes at the box office because we know this thing is gonna bank online when we drop it on the app and it. Will Holistic distribution. Yeah, what is that strategy? Holistic distribution strategy. It means, you know, we understand that it's crap and not a lot of theaters are gonna want to carry it. But yeah, Dan, exactly what you said. We're gonna kill it in the home. That's right, holistic.

Trey, it looked like you were chewing on something in the break. They're not literally, but more like like there was something more you wanted to say about. Oh, it's man. Well, no, it was the Amazon executives you know BS talk, uh distribution strategy. Well, I went back and watched I hadn't seen it in years Soap Dish, which if you haven't seen it, it was an early nineties spoof of it. But I mean the cast alone, it's Robert Downey Junior, Sally Field, Kevin Klein, Elizabeth Shoe, Gary Marshall, Whoopie Goldberg. I mean, it's just it's a it's an amazing cast and it's a funny, funny movie.

42:23 But that just reminds me of some of the crap because you know, they're like, she's a train wreck, We're gonna milk it. I don't know if I've ever seen that, Rebecca, have you seen Soap Dish? You know what I have, But it's been so long ago that I don't remember anything about it. I remember the cast. It's a fantastic movie, and uh and it's a quick you know, it's like ninety minutes. It's it's the perfect, perfect movie. Speaking of things that are great in the nineties and the eighties, just great about the twentieth century in general. Can we can we please bring back the hour half movie. God bless for real. I'll just under two hours at this point.

43:05 Yeah, literally under two hours. Like this new the New he Man movie Masters of the Universe. When I was looking it up today, two hours and twelve minutes, And I'm like, why, it was barely a show back in the day. That's what I'm saying. If it was based on a cartoon, how are you gonna play that out for another two hours? That's insane. Probably just a lot of visual effects. Visual effects are probably gonna take up half the movie. So maybe less talking is for the better. Which at the same time, Dan as you who are going back and watching, uh, you know, the MCU movies to get ready for Endgame, which is a three hour movie, and to watch Doomsday, which will I'm sure gonna be about a three hour movie.

43:50 Yeah, so I'm also part of the problem admitting it. Yeah, and I admit it. I own it. I want shorter movies. I want shorter other movies. But if it's a good movie, like a good if it's a good Marvel movie, not a bad one, but a good Marvel movie, I'm okay with it being two two and a half hours. End Game at three hours it was good even when I've rewatched it, I was like, you know what, could they trend a little bit here and there. Sure you can do that with almost any movie, but honestly, that was three hours worth it. But take and the Spectacle thing. And the one coming out is gonna be longer because they've they've yeah, be in extra clips. Yeah yeah, I mean like, yeah, when I go back to the theater to see Endgame, uh, it's it's you know, it's gonna go from three hours and six minutes to like four hours. And then when Doomsday comes out at the end of the year, I assume that's just gonna be like over a four day period. You're just sleep at the movie theater. It is what it is, and I'll be there for it. I'm kind of like the radio executive who says radio is dying and then do nothing to fix it. That's how I am with movies.

44:55 I would love movies to be shorter, but here I am lining up at the theater to see the ones that are two and a half hours. So what happens when you send your resume into iHeart. You're assume it goes as it goes straight into the shred. Well, I think you're trying to be on air. I think you need to, you know, switch to be an executive because you'd fit right in. That is true, That is very true. Maybe I should start applying for corporate jobs. But I'll tell you what, man, those guys hold on to those like it's their last dying breath because it is soap dish and ambitious television. Soap actress connives with her producer to scuttle the career of the show's longtime star, but nothing works as they plan.

45:38 So I'm looking at it. I'm certain I've seen it, but it's been so long, don't remember it. I'm gonna have to go back. And it's it's really it's a good movie. It's uh, it ages. It has aged well. Now if you were in your twenties and don't really remember the heyday of soap operas, maybe not. Yeah, Okay, So look, we're still a couple of months away from back to school, and while none of us have kids, this is probably a good reason for us not to. And I'm going to show you why. There's a pencil case that's been making the rounds on the internet that I'm pretty sure no one's kids will be asking for when it's time to go back to school, and.

46:22 So pencil cases. So there's a zipper. Open in case you missed the front part of that dead rock. Since of pencil cases. And because of the accent, dead rat turned into pencil cases. I don't know if he's like a taxidermy hobbyist and decided, you know what, stuffing a rat just isn't enough for me. I'm going to pull everything out and turn these dead rats into pencil cases. But wait, but wait, there's more dead. Rock since of pencil cases. So there's a zipper up and down its spine. Here, it's a zipper that opens down the spine, so the the interior, then the cavity is the pencil case part'll.

47:04 Close outgain and then in its asshole, I've I've swapped his asshole for the pencil sharpening. Really, if you're into this sort of stuff. A different soul sharpener in the rats asshole? Did Rebecca just that was per limit? Like, that's it, I'm pumping out. She just pulled the ejection cord. Frankly, I can't blame her. When you got a pencil sharpener inside of a rat butthole, that might be the spot for all of us. But look, everyone's got a hobby. This is something I never would have expected to. Since the pencil cases. That is a zipp up and down its spine here, close outgain and then in its arshole.

47:49 I've I've swapped his asshole for the pencil sharpening. Really, if you're into this sort of stuff, that rock. What in the serial killer did you did? Just did you notice his shirt? Actually no, I haven't. Let me. Let me pull this back up. And so it's a zipper up and down its spine here. Uh? Is that a hand wrapped around a cow's udder a teat? Yeah, that's what it looks like. And it looks like. Oh and it's quirting. Uh huh okay, so it's it's an artistic it's a cartoon style drawing of a purple cow teat with a cartoon hand wrapped around it, squeezing down, milking it.

48:35 I assume this guy is is from somewhere in the UK, and clearly it is the Oklahoma of the UK. Is the mullet, the shirt, and he shoved a pencil sharpener upper rats ass. You know what? I think you're right? Uh, this might actually be an extension of my biological family. Sometimes is better that you don't find them. That's your cousin, Eddie. I can't wait to see what he pulls up in at Christmas. Sure is going to be full, though.
