Hello, this is Auburn Light. I'm Mary.
2
00:00:02.500 --> 00:00:06.299
I give a conservative perspective about the world around me.
3
00:00:06.360 --> 00:00:08.919
Feedback is immensely important. Feel free to reach out to me.
4
00:00:08.960 --> 00:00:11.000
Two ways to do this is, of course, through email
5
00:00:11.580 --> 00:00:15.759
and YouTube. Appreciate the listeners and the growing and the support.
6
00:00:16.120 --> 00:00:19.489
You know, someone that's interested in my content, just simply
7
00:00:20.170 --> 00:00:24.629
inform them about the Auburn Light. All right, so on
8
00:00:24.690 --> 00:00:28.719
to the topic of choice. Since it's Friday... I'm focusing
9
00:00:29.000 --> 00:00:36.350
in on current events. Alright, so here we go. Alright,
10
00:00:36.409 --> 00:00:41.450
so with the new season of Best Medicine, I really
11
00:00:41.609 --> 00:00:47.119
find this show very interesting. And you know how it's
12
00:00:47.200 --> 00:00:53.640
hard to find something new to watch, particularly now when
13
00:00:54.640 --> 00:00:59.119
it is just surrounded with different.
14
00:01:00.369 --> 00:01:02.609
Well, you know, it's.
15
00:01:02.549 --> 00:01:10.310
Just bombarded with the same old subplot and stuff. Things
16
00:01:10.370 --> 00:01:14.390
that aren't really taking much of a chance. And with
17
00:01:14.680 --> 00:01:19.519
Best Medicine, I think it's interesting also with the same
18
00:01:19.599 --> 00:01:26.159
concept of shows like Animal Control on Fox and that...
19
00:01:28.170 --> 00:01:36.150
where they get back to the understanding that good storytelling
20
00:01:36.469 --> 00:01:40.469
is important. So, what do I mean by this? Even
21
00:01:40.549 --> 00:01:51.659
though the subject matter for both animal control and best medicine.
22
00:01:51.420 --> 00:02:00.340
Is different, they both share... the delightful.
23
00:02:04.140 --> 00:02:12.360
Imagery of first understanding what it's like to be a
24
00:02:12.400 --> 00:02:16.319
part of something, where you are a part of a
25
00:02:16.419 --> 00:02:22.259
smaller town, or you're doing something to help the community.
26
00:02:23.360 --> 00:02:30.060
And Animal Control, they help. in means of, you know, straightforward.
27
00:02:30.620 --> 00:02:36.449
They control the situation that, you know, where it may
28
00:02:36.490 --> 00:02:42.289
be with animals, pests, and so forth. And then out
29
00:02:42.330 --> 00:02:49.020
of that, of course, the aspects of zaniness happening. But
30
00:02:49.060 --> 00:02:53.460
the way that they address certain zaniness or being funny
31
00:02:54.699 --> 00:02:55.840
is more.
32
00:02:59.560 --> 00:03:09.349
Sophisticated, but not in a way that's not relatable. So,
33
00:03:09.409 --> 00:03:15.360
for instance, I'm trying to think about his name. Let
34
00:03:15.379 --> 00:03:29.539
me look it up right quick. Okay. Because he was
35
00:03:29.599 --> 00:03:32.000
in Community. It was really good. It was other stuff,
36
00:03:32.080 --> 00:03:41.830
but hold on. Alright.
37
00:03:45.030 --> 00:03:53.340
Alright, so Joe McHale, right? So, and all the different
38
00:03:53.400 --> 00:03:58.180
supporting cast, right? Now, it's specifically with Joe McHale and
39
00:03:58.319 --> 00:04:02.599
his comedy. You know, he feeds off of other people,
40
00:04:03.460 --> 00:04:07.840
and that helps with carrying on the subplot, right? And
41
00:04:08.439 --> 00:04:13.270
even though they have this whole thing in between two
42
00:04:13.349 --> 00:04:17.490
certain main characters in the story that will they want
43
00:04:17.529 --> 00:04:22.490
they stuff, which is, I find it's quite interesting that,
44
00:04:23.750 --> 00:04:26.610
and my husband was talking about it too, And so
45
00:04:26.649 --> 00:04:30.870
his theory is that this will they want they didn't
46
00:04:30.889 --> 00:04:34.089
start to become a thing until Friends came along, right?
47
00:04:34.829 --> 00:04:35.970
And then, I.
48
00:04:35.829 --> 00:04:40.920
Don't know, Friends was something that was part of my childhood.
49
00:04:41.579 --> 00:04:44.079
But when you look at it, the show Friends is
50
00:04:44.120 --> 00:04:49.560
kind of odd because of how most of the time
51
00:04:49.899 --> 00:04:56.800
the situations that they get in or talk about It just,
52
00:04:56.920 --> 00:05:01.550
it seems like it's a little too immature for the
53
00:05:01.689 --> 00:05:03.540
age group, or it.
54
00:05:05.250 --> 00:05:09.350
Just, it's not very appealing.
55
00:05:11.689 --> 00:05:19.470
For instance, Ross and Rachel, they're, I guess you want
56
00:05:19.490 --> 00:05:22.509
to say love story, but I don't really think there's love.
57
00:05:22.850 --> 00:05:26.029
I think that's kind of, not kind of really an
58
00:05:26.629 --> 00:05:33.829
unhealthy relationship, to where they made it seem like it's
59
00:05:33.889 --> 00:05:40.310
romantic to not be able to commit and to manipulate
60
00:05:40.389 --> 00:05:47.300
and everything. And so with animal control, they call out
61
00:05:47.339 --> 00:05:51.959
a lot of stuff of that and to a way
62
00:05:52.500 --> 00:05:57.959
to where it's more relatable And it gets straight to
63
00:05:57.980 --> 00:06:02.180
the point. And it kind of reminds me of the
64
00:06:02.360 --> 00:06:09.790
aspects of, which I think in most respects, it has
65
00:06:09.930 --> 00:06:18.230
more grounds than, even though I appreciate Roseanne Barr and
66
00:06:18.250 --> 00:06:21.509
her comedy and everything, but the show was kind of,
67
00:06:21.649 --> 00:06:26.550
you know, really unrealistic. And so, if I'm not mistaken,
68
00:06:26.610 --> 00:06:33.149
I think the creator of Big Bang and everything that
69
00:06:33.189 --> 00:06:37.329
was on CBS from Two and a Half Men, Mike
70
00:06:37.370 --> 00:06:41.970
and Molly, that guy, he had something to do with Roseanne. So,
71
00:06:42.029 --> 00:06:46.689
what I mean by it is the difference between Roseanne
72
00:06:47.230 --> 00:06:51.709
and Married With Children. So, Married With Children was very
73
00:06:51.810 --> 00:06:56.670
honest and sometimes really honest about the aspects of.
74
00:06:58.209 --> 00:06:59.939
A dysfunctional family, right?
75
00:07:01.120 --> 00:07:12.730
But Roseanne, they were trying to depict the aspects of
76
00:07:13.850 --> 00:07:20.089
a Midwestern family who was either middle class or low
77
00:07:20.110 --> 00:07:22.870
to middle class. In a lot of situations that they
78
00:07:22.889 --> 00:07:27.509
would be in, they were just not... You could tell
79
00:07:28.490 --> 00:07:33.029
the writers didn't understand that concept of what being in
80
00:07:33.069 --> 00:07:38.339
that bracket is, a lower middle class or what have you. Because,
81
00:07:38.759 --> 00:07:49.980
for instance, when Dan decided to run a motorcycle business...
82
00:07:51.420 --> 00:07:58.100
a family that's struggling, especially living in Illinois, depending on
83
00:07:58.160 --> 00:08:03.350
which part of Illinois you're living in, that's going to
84
00:08:03.399 --> 00:08:08.889
be a huge stretch to be able to afford the
85
00:08:08.970 --> 00:08:14.949
opportunity or even to put up money, half the money,
86
00:08:15.529 --> 00:08:16.870
even half the money, so to.
87
00:08:19.879 --> 00:08:23.160
Run a business like that. Or any kind of business. Right.
88
00:08:24.160 --> 00:08:24.360
And.
89
00:08:26.600 --> 00:08:35.690
Getting back to. Best medicine. I really appreciate. That. And
90
00:08:35.710 --> 00:08:40.950
a different route. With the aspects. Of being very honest.
91
00:08:43.429 --> 00:08:52.090
And cutting. Of what it's like. To have. something that is.
92
00:08:53.850 --> 00:08:59.679
Ironic and suffering with and you're you know you're in
93
00:09:00.120 --> 00:09:02.460
the medical field so what i mean by that i
94
00:09:02.559 --> 00:09:06.080
mean spoiler alert here if you haven't seen the show
95
00:09:06.940 --> 00:09:11.340
but it'll help what i'm talking about uh help you
96
00:09:11.360 --> 00:09:17.129
know forgive me uh for my voice i'm I'm feeling
97
00:09:17.149 --> 00:09:23.110
a bit under the weather, and I'm slowly getting out
98
00:09:23.169 --> 00:09:30.279
of it, so bear with me. Meanwhile, turns out that
99
00:09:31.259 --> 00:09:36.200
he was a very prominent doctor, and he lost his license,
100
00:09:36.299 --> 00:09:39.100
and he had to go back to his hometown in
101
00:09:39.139 --> 00:09:41.340
which he grew up.
102
00:09:42.789 --> 00:09:47.860
In Port Wynn, right? And he went back there and.
103
00:09:49.259 --> 00:09:52.440
He didn't let anybody know that he was actually suffering
104
00:09:52.519 --> 00:09:57.080
from a phobia of blood. And.
105
00:10:00.240 --> 00:10:02.360
It turns out. There's a whole.
106
00:10:03.000 --> 00:10:06.860
Backstory behind. Why he had such a phobia towards blood.
107
00:10:07.799 --> 00:10:15.230
Because. From what I remember. If I'm not mistaken. He was.
108
00:10:15.549 --> 00:10:18.100
It was a young patient. A young girl. He was.
109
00:10:20.080 --> 00:10:22.759
working to save her life.
110
00:10:23.019 --> 00:10:28.679
And something happened with the aspects of blood being in
111
00:10:28.980 --> 00:10:32.970
that situation. And it was the way that she passed on.
112
00:10:33.419 --> 00:10:37.889
And it was very traumatic. And that was a means
113
00:10:39.789 --> 00:10:46.090
of resurfacing itself by having a phobia with blood.
114
00:10:46.970 --> 00:10:53.740
And so... When the Doctor, which, he's a really good actor.
115
00:10:53.759 --> 00:10:56.340
The guy who's playing, hold on just a minute, let
116
00:10:56.379 --> 00:11:09.990
me pull his name up. Okay. Josh Charles.
117
00:11:10.470 --> 00:11:16.330
He was in a bunch of stuff. Let me see,
118
00:11:16.470 --> 00:11:22.750
let me see. The Good Wife, he was in that
119
00:11:22.779 --> 00:11:27.509
Poet Society. He was in different, he was in SWAT.
120
00:11:27.730 --> 00:11:35.740
He was in different things as far as law shows
121
00:11:36.679 --> 00:11:41.659
and all of that, right? So he has a various range.
122
00:11:42.000 --> 00:11:46.980
And then every time that he plays certain characters, He
123
00:11:47.049 --> 00:11:50.139
puts a different... From my point of view, there's a
124
00:11:50.200 --> 00:11:51.820
different depth within it.
125
00:11:53.340 --> 00:11:55.679
And to... It's more.
126
00:11:57.200 --> 00:12:06.519
Relatable. He... It just... You... Unfortunately, there are actors where...
127
00:12:09.620 --> 00:12:13.299
You can tell that they're not really trying their.
128
00:12:14.309 --> 00:12:16.710
either, I don't know if it's a writing thing or
129
00:12:17.149 --> 00:12:22.750
just a means of their not perfecting their craft, where
130
00:12:22.769 --> 00:12:27.679
they're not doing the due diligence of understanding what it
131
00:12:27.759 --> 00:12:31.159
takes to make a character.
132
00:12:32.460 --> 00:12:33.200
Well-rounded.
133
00:12:33.620 --> 00:12:36.820
And then also, I think, from my point of view,
134
00:12:39.240 --> 00:12:43.279
that has a lot to do with an actor or,
135
00:12:43.580 --> 00:12:46.669
you know, who has a profession, you know, a person
136
00:12:46.690 --> 00:12:50.720
who has a profession as an actor who has the
137
00:12:50.820 --> 00:12:56.139
ability and the talent to separate into that your work
138
00:12:56.659 --> 00:13:01.340
doesn't carry on to your personal life, right? I think
139
00:13:01.360 --> 00:13:07.669
that helps a lot, too. And so, most of the characters,
140
00:13:08.470 --> 00:13:14.879
almost everyone in the show Best Medicine, they present themselves
141
00:13:15.059 --> 00:13:18.149
in a way to where you.
142
00:13:20.539 --> 00:13:23.750
You can tell they.
143
00:13:27.470 --> 00:13:30.970
Know what it's like or if they don't know what
144
00:13:31.029 --> 00:13:34.409
it's like took the time to.
145
00:13:36.490 --> 00:13:38.409
Get into depth of.
146
00:13:42.710 --> 00:13:48.000
What it means to live in a small town, especially
147
00:13:48.019 --> 00:13:50.379
a C-town, and.
148
00:13:52.919 --> 00:13:55.419
What can come from it, right?
149
00:13:56.350 --> 00:14:02.070
And the aspects of what it's like with gossip and
150
00:14:02.149 --> 00:14:03.669
everything else with being a.
151
00:14:03.649 --> 00:14:09.149
Part of a small town and going through.
152
00:14:10.679 --> 00:14:13.500
Stages of life and how you see things because they
153
00:14:13.519 --> 00:14:17.779
not only focus on the youth part of the town
154
00:14:17.820 --> 00:14:23.039
they focus on different age range from the older people
155
00:14:23.370 --> 00:14:27.049
in the town and how they relate to everyone all
156
00:14:27.070 --> 00:14:27.590
the way.
157
00:14:29.629 --> 00:14:31.809
To the doctor.
158
00:14:31.610 --> 00:14:35.409
And his age range everyone so you know a lot
159
00:14:35.470 --> 00:14:38.769
of people who watch this show they have something to
160
00:14:38.830 --> 00:14:45.129
respond to And that's what's missing a lot with, especially,
161
00:14:46.690 --> 00:14:53.019
so the concept of being able to have a show.
162
00:14:54.559 --> 00:14:59.419
That hits different marks is supposed to.
163
00:14:59.620 --> 00:15:04.190
Be reflective of everyday life, right? Because most of the time,
164
00:15:05.129 --> 00:15:11.450
you know, when you experience situations in real life, You know,
165
00:15:11.470 --> 00:15:16.009
it's not always the same. Like, you know, every situation
166
00:15:16.090 --> 00:15:18.769
isn't always the same all the time. You know, happy
167
00:15:18.809 --> 00:15:24.600
situations all the time. I don't know. Serious situations, of course.
168
00:15:27.700 --> 00:15:31.220
All of the buff. Sometimes it's a day where you
169
00:15:31.240 --> 00:15:34.259
get everything thrown at you all at once. Sometimes it's
170
00:15:34.299 --> 00:15:37.000
just nothing going on. You know, it's all of these things.
171
00:15:38.409 --> 00:15:42.980
And this show... Really represents.
172
00:15:42.539 --> 00:15:43.340
Us a lot.
173
00:15:44.000 --> 00:15:47.960
And so I've heard things about the show The Pit.
174
00:15:48.919 --> 00:15:53.440
And I'm interested in that show. Because of this world
175
00:15:53.500 --> 00:15:59.009
concept in which they're honest about the depiction of.
176
00:16:01.490 --> 00:16:03.210
The work shift, right?
177
00:16:04.009 --> 00:16:11.870
So everything that unfolds in the situation is if you,
178
00:16:12.669 --> 00:16:18.649
from the point of view, you are seeing how they
179
00:16:18.870 --> 00:16:27.100
organize their time and their job during their shift. But, unfortunately,
180
00:16:27.120 --> 00:16:32.879
it took the route, especially with the pit, with having
181
00:16:33.539 --> 00:16:36.440
the mentality, oh, we're going to be on HBO, so
182
00:16:37.179 --> 00:16:39.639
We're on HBO. We're an HBO show, so we're going
183
00:16:39.679 --> 00:16:45.490
to virtue signal and stuff like that. And I think
184
00:16:46.470 --> 00:16:49.929
Best Medicine is a contradiction to the other show that.
185
00:16:49.830 --> 00:16:52.389
Is running on there.
186
00:16:53.210 --> 00:16:55.009
I think it's called Doc or something.
187
00:16:55.710 --> 00:17:25.210
Hold on. Yeah, um, dark, right?
188
00:17:27.259 --> 00:17:34.000
And so, it, I mean, I, you know, it's, for
189
00:17:34.019 --> 00:17:42.089
the most part, it's from, uh, seeing commercials about it
190
00:17:42.200 --> 00:17:47.190
and then, uh, trying my best to see, uh, some
191
00:17:47.250 --> 00:17:51.490
of an episode of it. The, uh, difference is, it,
192
00:17:53.490 --> 00:17:55.490
Heavily focuses on.
193
00:17:56.609 --> 00:17:57.130
One thing.
194
00:17:57.789 --> 00:18:02.069
Of which the doctor. Is dealing with. As far as.
195
00:18:03.930 --> 00:18:05.750
The aspect of her vision.
196
00:18:05.829 --> 00:18:06.210
Being.
197
00:18:06.230 --> 00:18:10.690
Her memory being erased.
198
00:18:11.450 --> 00:18:16.740
Which is. Unrealistic. Because. Due to a car crash.
199
00:18:17.660 --> 00:18:24.559
It is even. Irresponsible to let. a person who is
200
00:18:24.660 --> 00:18:27.819
suffering from memory loss to be a doctor because, you know,
201
00:18:28.680 --> 00:18:32.839
malpractice suits, if you, you know, can come about, if.
202
00:18:34.460 --> 00:18:35.380
You can't remember.
203
00:18:36.339 --> 00:18:40.730
And it's just that the whole concept of it being
204
00:18:40.970 --> 00:18:47.130
highly dramatic and unrealistic at the same time, it's just
205
00:18:47.170 --> 00:18:53.759
not for me. And I remember when House... was originally
206
00:18:53.839 --> 00:18:59.970
airing on Fox. That was one of those shows where
207
00:19:00.009 --> 00:19:07.609
they really understood the concept of being honest about the situation.
208
00:19:08.670 --> 00:19:11.519
Not everything is black and white when it comes to
209
00:19:11.539 --> 00:19:18.200
solving medical solutions. Hugh Laurie, he's a really good actor,
210
00:19:19.160 --> 00:19:25.339
a British actor. And he's the kind of actor who's
211
00:19:25.539 --> 00:19:38.200
able to create an unlikable character and to make it,
212
00:19:38.220 --> 00:19:44.009
in a sense, his unlikability to be relatable to other people.
213
00:19:44.069 --> 00:19:44.970
And that's hard to do.
214
00:19:45.690 --> 00:19:48.730
And I just appreciate when there are shows that understand
215
00:19:48.750 --> 00:19:56.839
the work and effort of doing that, how that can
216
00:20:01.160 --> 00:20:09.470
produce better entertainment. Well, That's my spiel about current event
217
00:20:10.029 --> 00:20:12.099
for this week. I'd like to know what you all think.
218
00:20:12.430 --> 00:20:15.519
Feel free to reach out to me. Two ways to
219
00:20:15.559 --> 00:20:18.940
do this is through email and, of course, YouTube. So
220
00:20:18.960 --> 00:20:21.940
this reaches the end of the Harboring Light. Harboring Light.
221
00:20:22.059 --> 00:20:25.579
Tune in, turn up, and definitely take care. Bye-bye for now.
1
00:00:00.550 --> 00:00:02.439
Hello, this is Auburn Light. I'm Mary.
2
00:00:02.500 --> 00:00:06.299
I give a conservative perspective about the world around me.
3
00:00:06.360 --> 00:00:08.919
Feedback is immensely important. Feel free to reach out to me.
4
00:00:08.960 --> 00:00:11.000
Two ways to do this is, of course, through email
5
00:00:11.580 --> 00:00:15.759
and YouTube. Appreciate the listeners and the growing and the support.
6
00:00:16.120 --> 00:00:19.489
You know, someone that's interested in my content, just simply
7
00:00:20.170 --> 00:00:24.629
inform them about the Auburn Light. All right, so on
8
00:00:24.690 --> 00:00:28.719
to the topic of choice. Since it's Friday... I'm focusing
9
00:00:29.000 --> 00:00:36.350
in on current events. Alright, so here we go. Alright,
10
00:00:36.409 --> 00:00:41.450
so with the new season of Best Medicine, I really
11
00:00:41.609 --> 00:00:47.119
find this show very interesting. And you know how it's
12
00:00:47.200 --> 00:00:53.640
hard to find something new to watch, particularly now when
13
00:00:54.640 --> 00:00:59.119
it is just surrounded with different.
14
00:01:00.369 --> 00:01:02.609
Well, you know, it's.
15
00:01:02.549 --> 00:01:10.310
Just bombarded with the same old subplot and stuff. Things
16
00:01:10.370 --> 00:01:14.390
that aren't really taking much of a chance. And with
17
00:01:14.680 --> 00:01:19.519
Best Medicine, I think it's interesting also with the same
18
00:01:19.599 --> 00:01:26.159
concept of shows like Animal Control on Fox and that...
19
00:01:28.170 --> 00:01:36.150
where they get back to the understanding that good storytelling
20
00:01:36.469 --> 00:01:40.469
is important. So, what do I mean by this? Even
21
00:01:40.549 --> 00:01:51.659
though the subject matter for both animal control and best medicine.
22
00:01:51.420 --> 00:02:00.340
Is different, they both share... the delightful.
23
00:02:04.140 --> 00:02:12.360
Imagery of first understanding what it's like to be a
24
00:02:12.400 --> 00:02:16.319
part of something, where you are a part of a
25
00:02:16.419 --> 00:02:22.259
smaller town, or you're doing something to help the community.
26
00:02:23.360 --> 00:02:30.060
And Animal Control, they help. in means of, you know, straightforward.
27
00:02:30.620 --> 00:02:36.449
They control the situation that, you know, where it may
28
00:02:36.490 --> 00:02:42.289
be with animals, pests, and so forth. And then out
29
00:02:42.330 --> 00:02:49.020
of that, of course, the aspects of zaniness happening. But
30
00:02:49.060 --> 00:02:53.460
the way that they address certain zaniness or being funny
31
00:02:54.699 --> 00:02:55.840
is more.
32
00:02:59.560 --> 00:03:09.349
Sophisticated, but not in a way that's not relatable. So,
33
00:03:09.409 --> 00:03:15.360
for instance, I'm trying to think about his name. Let
34
00:03:15.379 --> 00:03:29.539
me look it up right quick. Okay. Because he was
35
00:03:29.599 --> 00:03:32.000
in Community. It was really good. It was other stuff,
36
00:03:32.080 --> 00:03:41.830
but hold on. Alright.
37
00:03:45.030 --> 00:03:53.340
Alright, so Joe McHale, right? So, and all the different
38
00:03:53.400 --> 00:03:58.180
supporting cast, right? Now, it's specifically with Joe McHale and
39
00:03:58.319 --> 00:04:02.599
his comedy. You know, he feeds off of other people,
40
00:04:03.460 --> 00:04:07.840
and that helps with carrying on the subplot, right? And
41
00:04:08.439 --> 00:04:13.270
even though they have this whole thing in between two
42
00:04:13.349 --> 00:04:17.490
certain main characters in the story that will they want
43
00:04:17.529 --> 00:04:22.490
they stuff, which is, I find it's quite interesting that,
44
00:04:23.750 --> 00:04:26.610
and my husband was talking about it too, And so
45
00:04:26.649 --> 00:04:30.870
his theory is that this will they want they didn't
46
00:04:30.889 --> 00:04:34.089
start to become a thing until Friends came along, right?
47
00:04:34.829 --> 00:04:35.970
And then, I.
48
00:04:35.829 --> 00:04:40.920
Don't know, Friends was something that was part of my childhood.
49
00:04:41.579 --> 00:04:44.079
But when you look at it, the show Friends is
50
00:04:44.120 --> 00:04:49.560
kind of odd because of how most of the time
51
00:04:49.899 --> 00:04:56.800
the situations that they get in or talk about It just,
52
00:04:56.920 --> 00:05:01.550
it seems like it's a little too immature for the
53
00:05:01.689 --> 00:05:03.540
age group, or it.
54
00:05:05.250 --> 00:05:09.350
Just, it's not very appealing.
55
00:05:11.689 --> 00:05:19.470
For instance, Ross and Rachel, they're, I guess you want
56
00:05:19.490 --> 00:05:22.509
to say love story, but I don't really think there's love.
57
00:05:22.850 --> 00:05:26.029
I think that's kind of, not kind of really an
58
00:05:26.629 --> 00:05:33.829
unhealthy relationship, to where they made it seem like it's
59
00:05:33.889 --> 00:05:40.310
romantic to not be able to commit and to manipulate
60
00:05:40.389 --> 00:05:47.300
and everything. And so with animal control, they call out
61
00:05:47.339 --> 00:05:51.959
a lot of stuff of that and to a way
62
00:05:52.500 --> 00:05:57.959
to where it's more relatable And it gets straight to
63
00:05:57.980 --> 00:06:02.180
the point. And it kind of reminds me of the
64
00:06:02.360 --> 00:06:09.790
aspects of, which I think in most respects, it has
65
00:06:09.930 --> 00:06:18.230
more grounds than, even though I appreciate Roseanne Barr and
66
00:06:18.250 --> 00:06:21.509
her comedy and everything, but the show was kind of,
67
00:06:21.649 --> 00:06:26.550
you know, really unrealistic. And so, if I'm not mistaken,
68
00:06:26.610 --> 00:06:33.149
I think the creator of Big Bang and everything that
69
00:06:33.189 --> 00:06:37.329
was on CBS from Two and a Half Men, Mike
70
00:06:37.370 --> 00:06:41.970
and Molly, that guy, he had something to do with Roseanne. So,
71
00:06:42.029 --> 00:06:46.689
what I mean by it is the difference between Roseanne
72
00:06:47.230 --> 00:06:51.709
and Married With Children. So, Married With Children was very
73
00:06:51.810 --> 00:06:56.670
honest and sometimes really honest about the aspects of.
74
00:06:58.209 --> 00:06:59.939
A dysfunctional family, right?
75
00:07:01.120 --> 00:07:12.730
But Roseanne, they were trying to depict the aspects of
76
00:07:13.850 --> 00:07:20.089
a Midwestern family who was either middle class or low
77
00:07:20.110 --> 00:07:22.870
to middle class. In a lot of situations that they
78
00:07:22.889 --> 00:07:27.509
would be in, they were just not... You could tell
79
00:07:28.490 --> 00:07:33.029
the writers didn't understand that concept of what being in
80
00:07:33.069 --> 00:07:38.339
that bracket is, a lower middle class or what have you. Because,
81
00:07:38.759 --> 00:07:49.980
for instance, when Dan decided to run a motorcycle business...
82
00:07:51.420 --> 00:07:58.100
a family that's struggling, especially living in Illinois, depending on
83
00:07:58.160 --> 00:08:03.350
which part of Illinois you're living in, that's going to
84
00:08:03.399 --> 00:08:08.889
be a huge stretch to be able to afford the
85
00:08:08.970 --> 00:08:14.949
opportunity or even to put up money, half the money,
86
00:08:15.529 --> 00:08:16.870
even half the money, so to.
87
00:08:19.879 --> 00:08:23.160
Run a business like that. Or any kind of business. Right.
88
00:08:24.160 --> 00:08:24.360
And.
89
00:08:26.600 --> 00:08:35.690
Getting back to. Best medicine. I really appreciate. That. And
90
00:08:35.710 --> 00:08:40.950
a different route. With the aspects. Of being very honest.
91
00:08:43.429 --> 00:08:52.090
And cutting. Of what it's like. To have. something that is.
92
00:08:53.850 --> 00:08:59.679
Ironic and suffering with and you're you know you're in
93
00:09:00.120 --> 00:09:02.460
the medical field so what i mean by that i
94
00:09:02.559 --> 00:09:06.080
mean spoiler alert here if you haven't seen the show
95
00:09:06.940 --> 00:09:11.340
but it'll help what i'm talking about uh help you
96
00:09:11.360 --> 00:09:17.129
know forgive me uh for my voice i'm I'm feeling
97
00:09:17.149 --> 00:09:23.110
a bit under the weather, and I'm slowly getting out
98
00:09:23.169 --> 00:09:30.279
of it, so bear with me. Meanwhile, turns out that
99
00:09:31.259 --> 00:09:36.200
he was a very prominent doctor, and he lost his license,
100
00:09:36.299 --> 00:09:39.100
and he had to go back to his hometown in
101
00:09:39.139 --> 00:09:41.340
which he grew up.
102
00:09:42.789 --> 00:09:47.860
In Port Wynn, right? And he went back there and.
103
00:09:49.259 --> 00:09:52.440
He didn't let anybody know that he was actually suffering
104
00:09:52.519 --> 00:09:57.080
from a phobia of blood. And.
105
00:10:00.240 --> 00:10:02.360
It turns out. There's a whole.
106
00:10:03.000 --> 00:10:06.860
Backstory behind. Why he had such a phobia towards blood.
107
00:10:07.799 --> 00:10:15.230
Because. From what I remember. If I'm not mistaken. He was.
108
00:10:15.549 --> 00:10:18.100
It was a young patient. A young girl. He was.
109
00:10:20.080 --> 00:10:22.759
working to save her life.
110
00:10:23.019 --> 00:10:28.679
And something happened with the aspects of blood being in
111
00:10:28.980 --> 00:10:32.970
that situation. And it was the way that she passed on.
112
00:10:33.419 --> 00:10:37.889
And it was very traumatic. And that was a means
113
00:10:39.789 --> 00:10:46.090
of resurfacing itself by having a phobia with blood.
114
00:10:46.970 --> 00:10:53.740
And so... When the Doctor, which, he's a really good actor.
115
00:10:53.759 --> 00:10:56.340
The guy who's playing, hold on just a minute, let
116
00:10:56.379 --> 00:11:09.990
me pull his name up. Okay. Josh Charles.
117
00:11:10.470 --> 00:11:16.330
He was in a bunch of stuff. Let me see,
118
00:11:16.470 --> 00:11:22.750
let me see. The Good Wife, he was in that
119
00:11:22.779 --> 00:11:27.509
Poet Society. He was in different, he was in SWAT.
120
00:11:27.730 --> 00:11:35.740
He was in different things as far as law shows
121
00:11:36.679 --> 00:11:41.659
and all of that, right? So he has a various range.
122
00:11:42.000 --> 00:11:46.980
And then every time that he plays certain characters, He
123
00:11:47.049 --> 00:11:50.139
puts a different... From my point of view, there's a
124
00:11:50.200 --> 00:11:51.820
different depth within it.
125
00:11:53.340 --> 00:11:55.679
And to... It's more.
126
00:11:57.200 --> 00:12:06.519
Relatable. He... It just... You... Unfortunately, there are actors where...
127
00:12:09.620 --> 00:12:13.299
You can tell that they're not really trying their.
128
00:12:14.309 --> 00:12:16.710
either, I don't know if it's a writing thing or
129
00:12:17.149 --> 00:12:22.750
just a means of their not perfecting their craft, where
130
00:12:22.769 --> 00:12:27.679
they're not doing the due diligence of understanding what it
131
00:12:27.759 --> 00:12:31.159
takes to make a character.
132
00:12:32.460 --> 00:12:33.200
Well-rounded.
133
00:12:33.620 --> 00:12:36.820
And then also, I think, from my point of view,
134
00:12:39.240 --> 00:12:43.279
that has a lot to do with an actor or,
135
00:12:43.580 --> 00:12:46.669
you know, who has a profession, you know, a person
136
00:12:46.690 --> 00:12:50.720
who has a profession as an actor who has the
137
00:12:50.820 --> 00:12:56.139
ability and the talent to separate into that your work
138
00:12:56.659 --> 00:13:01.340
doesn't carry on to your personal life, right? I think
139
00:13:01.360 --> 00:13:07.669
that helps a lot, too. And so, most of the characters,
140
00:13:08.470 --> 00:13:14.879
almost everyone in the show Best Medicine, they present themselves
141
00:13:15.059 --> 00:13:18.149
in a way to where you.
142
00:13:20.539 --> 00:13:23.750
You can tell they.
143
00:13:27.470 --> 00:13:30.970
Know what it's like or if they don't know what
144
00:13:31.029 --> 00:13:34.409
it's like took the time to.
145
00:13:36.490 --> 00:13:38.409
Get into depth of.
146
00:13:42.710 --> 00:13:48.000
What it means to live in a small town, especially
147
00:13:48.019 --> 00:13:50.379
a C-town, and.
148
00:13:52.919 --> 00:13:55.419
What can come from it, right?
149
00:13:56.350 --> 00:14:02.070
And the aspects of what it's like with gossip and
150
00:14:02.149 --> 00:14:03.669
everything else with being a.
151
00:14:03.649 --> 00:14:09.149
Part of a small town and going through.
152
00:14:10.679 --> 00:14:13.500
Stages of life and how you see things because they
153
00:14:13.519 --> 00:14:17.779
not only focus on the youth part of the town
154
00:14:17.820 --> 00:14:23.039
they focus on different age range from the older people
155
00:14:23.370 --> 00:14:27.049
in the town and how they relate to everyone all
156
00:14:27.070 --> 00:14:27.590
the way.
157
00:14:29.629 --> 00:14:31.809
To the doctor.
158
00:14:31.610 --> 00:14:35.409
And his age range everyone so you know a lot
159
00:14:35.470 --> 00:14:38.769
of people who watch this show they have something to
160
00:14:38.830 --> 00:14:45.129
respond to And that's what's missing a lot with, especially,
161
00:14:46.690 --> 00:14:53.019
so the concept of being able to have a show.
162
00:14:54.559 --> 00:14:59.419
That hits different marks is supposed to.
163
00:14:59.620 --> 00:15:04.190
Be reflective of everyday life, right? Because most of the time,
164
00:15:05.129 --> 00:15:11.450
you know, when you experience situations in real life, You know,
165
00:15:11.470 --> 00:15:16.009
it's not always the same. Like, you know, every situation
166
00:15:16.090 --> 00:15:18.769
isn't always the same all the time. You know, happy
167
00:15:18.809 --> 00:15:24.600
situations all the time. I don't know. Serious situations, of course.
168
00:15:27.700 --> 00:15:31.220
All of the buff. Sometimes it's a day where you
169
00:15:31.240 --> 00:15:34.259
get everything thrown at you all at once. Sometimes it's
170
00:15:34.299 --> 00:15:37.000
just nothing going on. You know, it's all of these things.
171
00:15:38.409 --> 00:15:42.980
And this show... Really represents.
172
00:15:42.539 --> 00:15:43.340
Us a lot.
173
00:15:44.000 --> 00:15:47.960
And so I've heard things about the show The Pit.
174
00:15:48.919 --> 00:15:53.440
And I'm interested in that show. Because of this world
175
00:15:53.500 --> 00:15:59.009
concept in which they're honest about the depiction of.
176
00:16:01.490 --> 00:16:03.210
The work shift, right?
177
00:16:04.009 --> 00:16:11.870
So everything that unfolds in the situation is if you,
178
00:16:12.669 --> 00:16:18.649
from the point of view, you are seeing how they
179
00:16:18.870 --> 00:16:27.100
organize their time and their job during their shift. But, unfortunately,
180
00:16:27.120 --> 00:16:32.879
it took the route, especially with the pit, with having
181
00:16:33.539 --> 00:16:36.440
the mentality, oh, we're going to be on HBO, so
182
00:16:37.179 --> 00:16:39.639
We're on HBO. We're an HBO show, so we're going
183
00:16:39.679 --> 00:16:45.490
to virtue signal and stuff like that. And I think
184
00:16:46.470 --> 00:16:49.929
Best Medicine is a contradiction to the other show that.
185
00:16:49.830 --> 00:16:52.389
Is running on there.
186
00:16:53.210 --> 00:16:55.009
I think it's called Doc or something.
187
00:16:55.710 --> 00:17:25.210
Hold on. Yeah, um, dark, right?
188
00:17:27.259 --> 00:17:34.000
And so, it, I mean, I, you know, it's, for
189
00:17:34.019 --> 00:17:42.089
the most part, it's from, uh, seeing commercials about it
190
00:17:42.200 --> 00:17:47.190
and then, uh, trying my best to see, uh, some
191
00:17:47.250 --> 00:17:51.490
of an episode of it. The, uh, difference is, it,
192
00:17:53.490 --> 00:17:55.490
Heavily focuses on.
193
00:17:56.609 --> 00:17:57.130
One thing.
194
00:17:57.789 --> 00:18:02.069
Of which the doctor. Is dealing with. As far as.
195
00:18:03.930 --> 00:18:05.750
The aspect of her vision.
196
00:18:05.829 --> 00:18:06.210
Being.
197
00:18:06.230 --> 00:18:10.690
Her memory being erased.
198
00:18:11.450 --> 00:18:16.740
Which is. Unrealistic. Because. Due to a car crash.
199
00:18:17.660 --> 00:18:24.559
It is even. Irresponsible to let. a person who is
200
00:18:24.660 --> 00:18:27.819
suffering from memory loss to be a doctor because, you know,
201
00:18:28.680 --> 00:18:32.839
malpractice suits, if you, you know, can come about, if.
202
00:18:34.460 --> 00:18:35.380
You can't remember.
203
00:18:36.339 --> 00:18:40.730
And it's just that the whole concept of it being
204
00:18:40.970 --> 00:18:47.130
highly dramatic and unrealistic at the same time, it's just
205
00:18:47.170 --> 00:18:53.759
not for me. And I remember when House... was originally
206
00:18:53.839 --> 00:18:59.970
airing on Fox. That was one of those shows where
207
00:19:00.009 --> 00:19:07.609
they really understood the concept of being honest about the situation.
208
00:19:08.670 --> 00:19:11.519
Not everything is black and white when it comes to
209
00:19:11.539 --> 00:19:18.200
solving medical solutions. Hugh Laurie, he's a really good actor,
210
00:19:19.160 --> 00:19:25.339
a British actor. And he's the kind of actor who's
211
00:19:25.539 --> 00:19:38.200
able to create an unlikable character and to make it,
212
00:19:38.220 --> 00:19:44.009
in a sense, his unlikability to be relatable to other people.
213
00:19:44.069 --> 00:19:44.970
And that's hard to do.
214
00:19:45.690 --> 00:19:48.730
And I just appreciate when there are shows that understand
215
00:19:48.750 --> 00:19:56.839
the work and effort of doing that, how that can
216
00:20:01.160 --> 00:20:09.470
produce better entertainment. Well, That's my spiel about current event
217
00:20:10.029 --> 00:20:12.099
for this week. I'd like to know what you all think.
218
00:20:12.430 --> 00:20:15.519
Feel free to reach out to me. Two ways to
219
00:20:15.559 --> 00:20:18.940
do this is through email and, of course, YouTube. So
220
00:20:18.960 --> 00:20:21.940
this reaches the end of the Harboring Light. Harboring Light.
221
00:20:22.059 --> 00:20:25.579
Tune in, turn up, and definitely take care. Bye-bye for now.
