00:04:53.709 --> 00:04:55.930 happen is I would keep my favorite one. Like 00:04:55.930 --> 00:04:57.930 I would, we'd go to the store and I'd pick out 00:04:57.930 --> 00:05:00.670 like, this one's cool. I'd like to get this for 00:05:00.670 --> 00:05:03.329 myself. You know, this one's maybe for the family 00:05:03.329 --> 00:05:05.149 to keep. And then we'll get this, this, this, 00:05:05.189 --> 00:05:08.170 this, I, you know, I'd paint like not more than. 00:05:08.750 --> 00:05:11.990 10 of them. I don't think mom wasn't running 00:05:11.990 --> 00:05:16.589 a child labor operation or anything. Well, she 00:05:16.589 --> 00:05:19.170 kind of was, but, but you know, it was for family 00:05:19.170 --> 00:05:22.319 and stuff. So I got into that and I enjoyed that. 00:05:22.339 --> 00:05:24.160 It was a form of creative expression for me. 00:05:24.180 --> 00:05:26.199 I enjoyed the painting. I enjoyed it. I enjoyed 00:05:26.199 --> 00:05:28.800 choosing the colors because I never went by. 00:05:28.939 --> 00:05:31.100 I, if I remember right, they would come with 00:05:31.100 --> 00:05:35.449 like a color guide or something. I think. And 00:05:35.449 --> 00:05:37.290 I generally wouldn't go by those. And I didn't 00:05:37.290 --> 00:05:39.850 do anything crazy, but I just made them a little 00:05:39.850 --> 00:05:44.100 more colorful. What I did, and I didn't realize 00:05:44.100 --> 00:05:47.180 it at the time, I made them a little more toyetic. 00:05:47.339 --> 00:05:50.100 I would choose a little brighter colors, but 00:05:50.100 --> 00:05:53.079 I would still stick with the Christmas color 00:05:53.079 --> 00:05:56.199 theme. So I enjoyed that. And there are people 00:05:56.199 --> 00:06:00.240 who enjoy that kind of thing and make a living 00:06:00.240 --> 00:06:03.990 at it, whether it's creating those... framed 00:06:03.990 --> 00:06:10.649 images of farm animals celebrating Jesus or snowmen 00:06:10.649 --> 00:06:13.250 frolicking or whatever it is. There are people 00:06:13.250 --> 00:06:15.430 who make a living doing that stuff. And no, it's 00:06:15.430 --> 00:06:18.410 not like highbrow art or anything like that, 00:06:18.529 --> 00:06:21.230 but it is a form of creative expression. And 00:06:21.230 --> 00:06:24.709 it is something that, you know, hundreds, who 00:06:24.709 --> 00:06:29.379 knows how many Americans made a living doing 00:06:29.379 --> 00:06:35.399 that. Now, as I'm discussing this out loud, Over 00:06:35.399 --> 00:06:39.600 the last 20 years or whatever, maybe that stuff 00:06:39.600 --> 00:06:42.379 is getting farmed out outside of American shores. 00:06:42.540 --> 00:06:47.160 I don't know. But the bottom line is human beings 00:06:47.160 --> 00:06:53.259 were making a living doing that. And now there's 00:06:53.480 --> 00:06:56.180 no doubt in my mind that Walmart and Target and 00:06:56.180 --> 00:06:59.160 all of these scumbag corporations cut the human 00:06:59.160 --> 00:07:01.279 beings out of the equation as

soon as they possibly 00:07:01.279 --> 00:07:05.240 could and instead have like... one person sitting 00:07:05.240 --> 00:07:09.759 in a room saying what I just said into some kind 00:07:09.759 --> 00:07:13.819 of generative AI program. You know, maybe it 00:07:13.819 --> 00:07:16.699 hasn't completely replaced it all yet, but for 00:07:16.699 --> 00:07:19.420 sure we're on the way there. And it has definitely 00:07:19.420 --> 00:07:22.560 damaged people's, you know, as it has in other 00:07:22.560 --> 00:07:26.079 industries, has damaged humans' ability to make 00:07:26.079 --> 00:07:30.959 a living. Which is how we get to, or part of 00:07:30.959 --> 00:07:34.370 how we get to what happened last week. with the 00:07:34.370 --> 00:07:39.329 midterms that I took Wednesday and Thursday to 00:07:39.329 --> 00:07:42.569 just enjoy it, to, to feel good about it, to 00:07:42.569 --> 00:07:45.310 celebrate it. Uh, and then I started sort of 00:07:45.310 --> 00:07:47.529 coming back to reality with thoughts like, well, 00:07:47.589 --> 00:07:50.910 Schumer and Jeffries can't lead us. Uh, that's 00:07:50.910 --> 00:07:53.050 ridiculous. And fortunately, most of what I'm 00:07:53.050 --> 00:07:56.610 seeing online is agreeing with that. Uh, and, 00:07:57.259 --> 00:07:59.339 and to keep in mind over the next two years that 00:07:59.339 --> 00:08:02.470 that piece of shit is still president and there's 00:08:02.470 --> 00:08:05.660 only so much that can be accomplished. But certainly, 00:08:06.160 --> 00:08:10.120 you know, actions can be taken. So we're in a 00:08:10.120 --> 00:08:16.259 hopeful place right now. But the whole seasonal 00:08:16.259 --> 00:08:20.579 folksy tchotchke business is what led me to thinking 00:08:20.579 --> 00:08:23.839 about, or is one of the factors. It's the type 00:08:23.839 --> 00:08:26.680 of thing that led to what happened last week. 00:08:26.920 --> 00:08:32.889 The blue tsunami, among many, many other... Even 00:08:32.889 --> 00:08:35.129 more cringy names that I've heard it referred 00:08:35.129 --> 00:08:40.149 to. And I didn't intend to get to that at this 00:08:40.149 --> 00:08:42.610 point, but it's all tied together. All of this 00:08:42.610 --> 00:08:48.610 disregard for humanity is what led to the Democrats 00:08:48.610 --> 00:08:52.090 heading towards taking power. You know, right 00:08:52.090 --> 00:08:55.269 now they've got a lot of power, but not really 00:08:55.269 --> 00:08:57.909 power to get things done, just power to... to 00:08:57.909 --> 00:09:00.389 stop horrible things from being done. I don't 00:09:00.389 --> 00:09:02.590 know. There's a lot of prosecution, prosecutions, 00:09:02.590 --> 00:09:06.940 my gosh, the concept that we just need to move 00:09:06.940 --> 00:09:12.279 on and not. investigate, prosecute, and imprison 00:09:12.279 --> 00:09:15.580 is crazy. And which is part of the reason why 00:09:15.580 --> 00:09:17.759 Schumer and Jeffries need to go. I like what 00:09:17.759 --> 00:09:20.539 Reverend Raphael Warnock, one of our Georgia 00:09:20.539 --> 00:09:23.620 guys, I like his response to a reporter asking, 00:09:23.860 --> 00:09:26.340 you know, do we move forward with policy or prosecution? 00:09:26.600 --> 00:09:28.879 And Warnock said, we can walk and chew gum at 00:09:28.879 --> 00:09:32.840 the same time. And oh, shit. Oh, I love that. 00:09:33.570 --> 00:09:35.870 That's good to hear. And that's what we need 00:09:35.870 --> 00:09:39.029 to hear from these new, younger, by the way, 00:09:39.149 --> 00:09:42.909 leaders who are taking office after the beginning 00:09:42.909 --> 00:09:45.169 of the year. Now, so many horrible things that 00:09:45.169 --> 00:09:46.830 Trump can accomplish. You know, one of them, 00:09:46.870 --> 00:09:49.789 and I'm not trying to get all, this is not going 00:09:49.789 --> 00:09:51.590 to be a political episode. These are just the 00:09:51.590 --> 00:09:53.169 thoughts that are in my head about what's going 00:09:53.169 --> 00:09:57.649 on. You know, Trump putting that horrendous Nazi 00:09:57.649 --> 00:10:01.789 Stephen Miller. appointing him the White House 00:10:01.789 --> 00:10:05.490 chief of staff, you know, that's not great. But 00:10:05.490 --> 00:10:09.269 we'll, you know, we'll see. We'll see. We have 00:10:09.269 --> 00:10:11.789 to maintain the hope. And we also have to realize 00:10:11.789 --> 00:10:14.769 that this is just the beginning. We have not. 00:10:15.230 --> 00:10:18.309 The mission is not accomplished. We cannot rest. 00:10:18.409 --> 00:10:20.570 We cannot sit back. We cannot stop paying attention. 00:10:20.950 --> 00:10:24.570 We have to go forward with perhaps even more 00:10:24.570 --> 00:10:27.110 energy than we had before, because now not only 00:10:27.110 --> 00:10:29.370 do we have to fight the forces of evil, and I 00:10:29.370 --> 00:10:33.009 don't think that's overdramatic to say, but we 00:10:33.009 --> 00:10:36.669 have to keep what we hope are the forces of good 00:10:36.669 --> 00:10:40.509 on track. And I'm not going to talk about the 00:10:40.509 --> 00:10:42.370 couple of things I've already seen that I'm like, 00:10:42.409 --> 00:10:45.940 are you fucking serious? There are a couple of 00:10:45.940 --> 00:10:49.720 things that aren't in line with what I and many 00:10:49.720 --> 00:10:52.259 other people believe we need to accomplish. So 00:10:52.259 --> 00:10:56.740 it is our job as the people to keep our representatives 00:10:56.740 --> 00:11:04.230 on mission. So anyway, there's a lot to go from 00:11:04.230 --> 00:11:10.149 frolicking snowmen to the future of our society, 00:11:10.370 --> 00:11:13.889 but they are intertwined, whether you want to 00:11:13.889 --> 00:11:17.169 admit it or not. So speaking of people making 00:11:17.169 --> 00:11:19.789 a living making art, I guess I'll move on to 00:11:19.789 --> 00:11:24.509 sort of the next part of this. No, I won't, because 00:11:24.509 --> 00:11:27.070 I don't want to forget to

talk about November 00:11:27.070 --> 00:11:32.340 the 28th. Now, in the previous recording of this 00:11:32.340 --> 00:11:35.820 introduction, or this episode, however you want 00:11:35.820 --> 00:11:39.350 to look at it, I mentioned that I talked to Schweck 00:11:39.350 --> 00:11:41.750 and Christian about potentially doing a monthly 00:11:41.750 --> 00:11:44.889 Needless Things live stream where we just talk 00:11:44.889 --> 00:11:47.470 about toy news that's not G .I. Joe. Because 00:11:47.470 --> 00:11:49.289 the three of us have a lot of fun doing like 00:11:49.289 --> 00:11:53.110 the Toy Fair and Comic -Con wrap -ups. I really 00:11:53.110 --> 00:11:54.990 enjoy that and I'd like to do it on a more regular 00:11:54.990 --> 00:11:58.269 basis. And I think we could definitely do like 00:11:58.269 --> 00:12:02.190 a monthly show. Or, you know, it even occurred 00:12:02.190 --> 00:12:04.769 to me we could do alternating weeks. So I'm doing 00:12:04.769 --> 00:12:08.480 a live stream every week. but one is audible 00:12:08.480 --> 00:12:10.720 interlude. One is needless things. I don't know. 00:12:10.799 --> 00:12:13.220 I, I, I want to do something because I would 00:12:13.220 --> 00:12:15.379 like to keep up with general current toy news 00:12:15.379 --> 00:12:18.620 because I'll look at like preternia or toy news 00:12:18.620 --> 00:12:21.360 or whatever and be like, Oh man, that's interesting. 00:12:21.460 --> 00:12:24.159 I'd like to talk about that with people and I 00:12:24.159 --> 00:12:28.559 need a venue to do it. And the, you know, the 00:12:28.559 --> 00:12:31.039 meta is not the place. And that's another thing 00:12:31.039 --> 00:12:36.860 I discussed is my desire to move everything to 00:12:36.860 --> 00:12:39.220 blue sky needless things is on blue sky if you're 00:12:39.220 --> 00:12:43.039 not following now uh go follow meta is horrible 00:12:43.039 --> 00:12:45.960 it doesn't serve me much purpose because the 00:12:45.960 --> 00:12:49.720 engagement there is just dog shit uh and i did 00:12:49.720 --> 00:12:51.620 i think i mentioned this a couple of weeks ago 00:12:51.620 --> 00:12:55.299 i didn't do last week's episode or i didn't do 00:12:55.299 --> 00:12:57.460 an episode last week because i'll i'll be honest 00:12:57.460 --> 00:13:01.730 i'm having a rough time right now it's getting 00:13:01.730 --> 00:13:04.190 motivated to do anything is very difficult because 00:13:04.190 --> 00:13:08.769 I'm kind of looking around at all of the things 00:13:08.769 --> 00:13:11.190 I've put effort into over the past 20 years. 00:13:11.830 --> 00:13:15.210 And it's hard for me to say, yeah, keep going. 00:13:15.830 --> 00:13:18.649 This is great. And not to say I haven't done 00:13:18.649 --> 00:13:20.629 wonderful things and accomplished wonderful things, 00:13:20.730 --> 00:13:23.289 but I think this has possibly been a theme throughout 00:13:23.289 --> 00:13:27.000 some of the episodes this year is how tough it 00:13:27.000 --> 00:13:30.309 is for me to get going on anything. And I just 00:13:30.309 --> 00:13:32.570 couldn't get it together last week to put something 00:13:32.570 --> 00:13:36.289 together. And then the scheduling also. In trying 00:13:36.289 --> 00:13:38.029 to schedule interviews and things like that, 00:13:38.070 --> 00:13:39.909 every once in a while you just hit a personal 00:13:39.909 --> 00:13:44.350 wall of, you know, fuck, I'm tired of rescheduling 00:13:44.350 --> 00:13:46.730 things or of reaching out and not hearing back 00:13:46.730 --> 00:13:51.149 or of, you know, whatever. It gets to you. And 00:13:51.149 --> 00:13:56.299 when there's no financial motivator. It's, it's, 00:13:56.299 --> 00:13:58.820 you know, I'll, I'm not gonna lie. It's a little 00:13:58.820 --> 00:14:02.659 tougher to, to, you know, to, to have that motivation. 00:14:03.120 --> 00:14:05.779 Uh, so things, things have been a little tough, 00:14:05.960 --> 00:14:12.710 uh, lately. So November is probably not when 00:14:12.710 --> 00:14:14.970 that live stream thing is going to, we're going 00:14:14.970 --> 00:14:16.669 to do it in some form. We're definitely going 00:14:16.669 --> 00:14:18.289 to do it, but it's probably not going to be November 00:14:18.289 --> 00:14:24.029 because November is busy. Uh, November the 28th, 00:14:24.049 --> 00:14:26.149 this is what I was starting with. November the 00:14:26.149 --> 00:14:29.710 28th, we will be doing the final live screening 00:14:29.710 --> 00:14:33.190 of Troublemaker, which is my documentary film 00:14:33.190 --> 00:14:35.909 directed by Emmy Award -winning Jason C. Wilson 00:14:35.909 --> 00:14:39.730 and starring many, many friends and co -creators 00:14:39.730 --> 00:14:43.250 that I've worked with over the years. And we're 00:14:43.250 --> 00:14:48.009 bringing in Billy Bats and the Maidmen, which 00:14:48.009 --> 00:14:51.980 Jason's... And Wilson's kids are in a punk band 00:14:51.980 --> 00:14:53.759 called Billy Bats and the Maid Men. Go check 00:14:53.759 --> 00:14:56.720 them out. They're great. And they are on the 00:14:56.720 --> 00:14:59.960 rise, I believe is possibly a term that could 00:14:59.960 --> 00:15:02.940 be used. And I'm very excited that they're going 00:15:02.940 --> 00:15:06.620 to be part of the show. But they did the score. 00:15:07.120 --> 00:15:09.220 Now, the score is very different from Billy Bats 00:15:09.220 --> 00:15:11.240 music. But as you may know, musicians can make 00:15:11.240 --> 00:15:13.259 all kinds of different music, or at least talented 00:15:13.259 --> 00:15:16.480 musicians can. And these kids are definitely 00:15:16.480 --> 00:15:18.970 that. So Billy Bats and the Maid Men will be 00:15:18.970 --> 00:15:21.409 performing live at the final Troublemaker screening, 00:15:21.629 --> 00:15:24.889 as well as we're bringing in from Texas. They're 00:15:24.889 --> 00:15:28.029 a little contentious, but they're in Troublemaker. 00:15:28.769 --> 00:15:31.870 Dale Jepsen and

the Nighthawks will be performing 00:15:31.870 --> 00:15:37.039 at Blackstrap Rock Hall, November 28th, as part 00:15:37.039 --> 00:15:40.240 of the final Troublemaker screening. It's going 00:15:40.240 --> 00:15:42.159 to be a lot of fun. Troublemaker's under an hour, 00:15:42.220 --> 00:15:44.340 so we're not asking a lot attention -wise. The 00:15:44.340 --> 00:15:45.519 bands are going to play. We're going to have 00:15:45.519 --> 00:15:46.799 a blast. We're going to have a good time. We're 00:15:46.799 --> 00:15:49.960 going to talk about the movie a little bit. I've 00:15:49.960 --> 00:15:54.399 got to find a host for it. I may end up doing 00:15:54.399 --> 00:15:57.990 it myself, but I would like to have sort of a 00:15:57.990 --> 00:16:02.029 real host. I'm tired of doing everything. So 00:16:02.029 --> 00:16:04.370 we'll see how that goes. But it's going to be 00:16:04.370 --> 00:16:06.629 an awesome event. Blackstrap Rock Hall in Gainesville. 00:16:06.909 --> 00:16:10.070 Thanksgiving weekend. after you've had to go 00:16:10.070 --> 00:16:14.190 spend Thursday with your family, with the family 00:16:14.190 --> 00:16:18.990 you were given, come out and spend Saturday with 00:16:18.990 --> 00:16:20.850 a bunch of people who've chosen each other, with 00:16:20.850 --> 00:16:24.450 a chosen family who genuinely loves each other's 00:16:24.450 --> 00:16:27.070 company and just has fun every time we get together. 00:16:27.509 --> 00:16:31.129 So put that on your calendar. Come join us if 00:16:31.129 --> 00:16:34.730 you can. It's all ages. Tickets are $15. And 00:16:34.730 --> 00:16:38.000 this is where it comes back around to meta. is 00:16:38.000 --> 00:16:42.559 it's a Facebook event that Blackstrap, both the 00:16:42.559 --> 00:16:45.429 bands and myself are hosting. So you should be 00:16:45.429 --> 00:16:50.100 able to find it on Facebook and RSVP. And that's 00:16:50.100 --> 00:16:53.279 the thing is there's no other, as shit as Meta 00:16:53.279 --> 00:16:55.059 is at what it does, there's not really anything 00:16:55.059 --> 00:16:58.600 else that does everything it does. So it's better 00:16:58.600 --> 00:17:02.000 to have, it's better to be a part of something 00:17:02.000 --> 00:17:05.440 that's shitty than not be a part of anything 00:17:05.440 --> 00:17:07.339 at all. Because otherwise, how am I letting people 00:17:07.339 --> 00:17:10.470 know about live streams and events and all the 00:17:10.470 --> 00:17:14.230 other stuff that's going on. It sucks. It sucks. 00:17:14.329 --> 00:17:16.410 We're all hostage to it and it needs to be broken 00:17:16.410 --> 00:17:20.069 up. We need some trust busting. That is another 00:17:20.069 --> 00:17:24.569 big part of what this new Democratic majority 00:17:24.569 --> 00:17:28.250 needs to get on, is breaking up these massive 00:17:28.250 --> 00:17:32.490 companies that have too much power over our way 00:17:32.490 --> 00:17:35.220 of life. But if you want to have fun in your 00:17:35.220 --> 00:17:37.819 way of life, Like I said, come out to the Troublemaker 00:17:37.819 --> 00:17:39.960 screening. And the reason I'm calling it the 00:17:39.960 --> 00:17:42.640 final live screening, which the intent is that 00:17:42.640 --> 00:17:46.700 it will be, is back before the pandemic, Wilson 00:17:46.700 --> 00:17:48.680 was able to tour around all the film festivals. 00:17:48.700 --> 00:17:51.859 I was not because of my job. Wilson was able 00:17:51.859 --> 00:17:55.240 to go to all the film festivals. And we did fantastically 00:17:55.240 --> 00:17:57.759 well. We won a ton of awards. It was momentous. 00:17:58.660 --> 00:18:02.200 And the plan was that in 2020, I was going to 00:18:02.200 --> 00:18:04.099 have the opportunity. I was supposed to go out 00:18:04.099 --> 00:18:07.759 west and host a film festival. My plan had been 00:18:07.759 --> 00:18:10.559 I will manage my time and I will, you know, tour 00:18:10.559 --> 00:18:12.819 around with the movie once it's out of the film 00:18:12.819 --> 00:18:15.539 festival circuit. Of course, the pandemic hit. 00:18:16.059 --> 00:18:18.960 So that got derailed and just never happened. 00:18:19.059 --> 00:18:21.180 So many things just never happened because of 00:18:21.180 --> 00:18:24.880 that pandemic. So it's time, you know, and I 00:18:24.880 --> 00:18:27.079 did end up spending the last couple of years 00:18:27.079 --> 00:18:28.920 bringing it around to some conventions and stuff. 00:18:29.099 --> 00:18:34.509 But it's time for me to... to sort of get past 00:18:34.509 --> 00:18:37.069 the idea that Troublemaker is going to be a step 00:18:37.069 --> 00:18:40.210 to anything. I love it. I love that we made it. 00:18:40.269 --> 00:18:41.829 I love that I've been able to share it with so 00:18:41.829 --> 00:18:44.910 many people and that it has been enjoyed by so 00:18:44.910 --> 00:18:47.390 many people who don't even know me. But it's 00:18:47.390 --> 00:18:52.569 time to sort of pack that up and move on in whatever 00:18:52.569 --> 00:18:56.289 way I'm going to. Uh, I'm, I'm tired of feeling 00:18:56.289 --> 00:18:58.430 like, yeah, somebody is going to see this and 00:18:58.430 --> 00:19:00.150 that's going to be the thing that lets me not 00:19:00.150 --> 00:19:02.789 have to have a day job. Like that's, it's not, 00:19:02.809 --> 00:19:06.009 it's, it's time to move on. Uh, and we're doing 00:19:06.009 --> 00:19:08.690 that in a celebratory manner. So that is November 00:19:08.690 --> 00:19:10.769 28th. And then the weekend before that, this 00:19:10.769 --> 00:19:13.250 is why November is so busy. The weekend before 00:19:13.250 --> 00:19:16.009 that is Retro Toy Con in Greenville, South Carolina. 00:19:16.250 --> 00:19:20.849 Uh, Riley and I are going up there, or I guess 00:19:20.849 --> 00:19:26.049 over there really, uh, with a carload of stuff 00:19:26.049 --> 00:19:29.470 to sell. We had a great time selling at Joe Fest 00:19:29.470 --> 00:19:33.890 and did

quite well. And I don't have a table 00:19:33.890 --> 00:19:36.609 at Retro Toy Con, but we will be part of the 00:19:36.609 --> 00:19:39.589 room sales that happen after the show floor closes. 00:19:40.390 --> 00:19:42.150 So we'll be hanging out the sign. I got a new 00:19:42.150 --> 00:19:45.250 Needless Things sign printed up that I love. 00:19:47.269 --> 00:19:49.329 We'll be hanging up the sign outside of the hotel 00:19:49.329 --> 00:19:52.630 room. And from what I understand, there's like... 00:19:52.779 --> 00:19:55.140 The rooms are all those suite -style rooms that 00:19:55.140 --> 00:19:57.460 have a front area and a back area. So our front 00:19:57.460 --> 00:19:59.319 area is going to be a storefront all weekend. 00:19:59.920 --> 00:20:03.480 We will be there. And if you saw my JoeFest sales, 00:20:03.640 --> 00:20:07.710 you know I priced to move. Uh, I am not trying 00:20:07.710 --> 00:20:10.049 to maximize profit. Now that's not to say I won't 00:20:10.049 --> 00:20:11.930 be referencing prices cause I don't want to get 00:20:11.930 --> 00:20:14.750 like totally hoodwinked on anything, but these 00:20:14.750 --> 00:20:16.750 are not, my stuff is not going to be eBay prices. 00:20:16.809 --> 00:20:19.329 My stuff is going to be get this out of my house 00:20:19.329 --> 00:20:22.309 prices, uh, which is what it was at Joe Fest. 00:20:22.509 --> 00:20:24.329 And like I said, did quite well. And I'm gonna 00:20:24.329 --> 00:20:28.130 have a, a much wider variety of stuff at Retro 00:20:28.130 --> 00:20:30.289 Tollicon. Like I said, everything I can jam into 00:20:30.289 --> 00:20:35.289 the car, uh, is, is going up there and I'm excited. 00:20:35.579 --> 00:20:38.680 Very excited. And that's the weekend before the 00:20:38.740 --> 00:20:41.299 troublemaker screening. So I've got two weekends 00:20:41.299 --> 00:20:44.319 in November that are going to be jam -packed 00:20:44.319 --> 00:20:47.940 busy. In between now and then, again, still looking 00:20:47.940 --> 00:20:55.420 for a job. That's part of my kind of lowness 00:20:55.420 --> 00:20:59.519 at this point, is it's very difficult to even 00:20:59.779 --> 00:21:04.950 tell what a job is. And I'm just every week applying 00:21:04.950 --> 00:21:08.450 for jobs, applying for jobs and not hearing anything 00:21:08.450 --> 00:21:11.930 back at all. And I'm not, you know, I'm not a 00:21:11.930 --> 00:21:14.809 slave to LinkedIn. I'm going outside of LinkedIn, 00:21:14.950 --> 00:21:17.630 looking at the business's actual websites and 00:21:17.630 --> 00:21:20.210 stuff. Like I'm trying to do everything you can, 00:21:20.250 --> 00:21:23.430 you're supposed to do. Just not hearing anything 00:21:23.430 --> 00:21:25.750 back. I think it's, I mean, it's a bad time or 00:21:25.750 --> 00:21:27.890 it has been a bad time. Maybe things are about 00:21:27.890 --> 00:21:31.630 to turn around at least somewhat. But. Looking 00:21:31.630 --> 00:21:35.170 for a job. So if you know any jobs where someone 00:21:35.170 --> 00:21:40.630 with years of training expertise, years of very 00:21:40.630 --> 00:21:46.599 technically oriented work and great communication 00:21:46.599 --> 00:21:49.359 skills, if you know any jobs like that, hit me 00:21:49.359 --> 00:21:52.740 up. Let me know because I am actively searching 00:21:52.740 --> 00:21:59.190 right now. Or if you know any jobs where... You 00:21:59.190 --> 00:22:01.970 don't do anything but get paid like a million 00:22:01.970 --> 00:22:04.950 dollars a year. Hit me up about those jobs too. 00:22:05.009 --> 00:22:07.130 I'd love one of those. That'd be great. You know 00:22:07.130 --> 00:22:09.789 what? Even 500 grand. I would take it. I would 00:22:09.789 --> 00:22:16.279 take it. So let's see. That's some serious stuff, 00:22:16.359 --> 00:22:19.119 I guess. And some fun stuff. Like I said, the 00:22:19.119 --> 00:22:21.240 troublemaker screening is going to be a blast. 00:22:21.500 --> 00:22:22.779 We're going to do everything we can to make sure 00:22:22.779 --> 00:22:25.490 everybody there has a great time. Uh, tell your 00:22:25.490 --> 00:22:27.650 friends and it will be, you know, in theory, 00:22:27.750 --> 00:22:29.869 it is your last opportunity to see it live with 00:22:29.869 --> 00:22:33.069 an audience of people. Uh, we will be, uh, towards 00:22:33.069 --> 00:22:36.630 the end of the year, we will be working on other 00:22:36.630 --> 00:22:39.809 methods of distribution. And, and once, and that's 00:22:39.809 --> 00:22:42.430 the thing is like, once we found the right delivery 00:22:42.430 --> 00:22:46.960 system, why do any more live ones? Uh, it's, 00:22:47.019 --> 00:22:48.539 you know, 10 years from now, we'll, we'll do 00:22:48.539 --> 00:22:50.700 a theatrical revival. We'll have a fathom event. 00:22:52.150 --> 00:22:54.950 We're not going to have a fathom event. So here's 00:22:54.950 --> 00:22:58.890 some other pop culture stuff to talk about. Godzilla. 00:22:59.609 --> 00:23:02.470 Ooh, let's talk about Godzilla for a little while. 00:23:02.789 --> 00:23:05.849 So when I was a kid, I saw a lot of the Godzilla 00:23:05.849 --> 00:23:09.609 movies. And I liked them, but I was never... 00:23:09.609 --> 00:23:13.670 Godzilla never hooked me. It was one of those 00:23:13.670 --> 00:23:16.710 things that I enjoyed when I saw it on, probably 00:23:16.710 --> 00:23:19.710 like a Saturday afternoon or Sunday afternoon 00:23:19.710 --> 00:23:22.740 type of thing. uh, where one, you know, USA or 00:23:22.740 --> 00:23:25.980 somebody would be playing the movies. Uh, I liked 00:23:25.980 --> 00:23:29.119 the, I loved the cartoon when I was a kid. I 00:23:29.119 --> 00:23:31.039 couldn't tell you anything about it now, except 00:23:31.039 --> 00:23:34.200 for there's like a boat with humans on it that 00:23:34.200 --> 00:23:36.200 are friends with Godzilla. That's kind of all 00:23:36.200 --> 00:23:38.519 I remember about the cartoon. And there've probably 00:23:38.519

--> 00:23:40.539 been multiple cartoons. I, whatever I'm talking 00:23:40.539 --> 00:23:43.119 about is, would have been, you know, mid eighties, 00:23:43.140 --> 00:23:45.220 I guess I'll, I'll look it up after I'm done 00:23:45.220 --> 00:23:48.549 with this. Uh, but, but So I was aware of Godzilla. 00:23:48.650 --> 00:23:50.509 I always thought Godzilla was really cool, but 00:23:50.509 --> 00:23:53.589 I was never one of those like OMG Godzilla guys. 00:23:53.809 --> 00:23:56.599 Like Shane Morton, who I've been friends with 00:23:56.599 --> 00:23:59.519 for years and years and years now, is I would 00:23:59.519 --> 00:24:03.599 consider a Godzilla fanatic. He is definitely, 00:24:03.740 --> 00:24:06.200 when I think about Godzilla fans, like he's the 00:24:06.200 --> 00:24:09.220 guy that pops up in my head. But I was never 00:24:09.220 --> 00:24:11.019 that. I just always thought Godzilla was cool. 00:24:11.160 --> 00:24:13.339 I've had Godzilla toys over the years. Like when 00:24:13.339 --> 00:24:16.210 I found a cheap or fun Godzilla toy. I would 00:24:16.210 --> 00:24:17.930 buy it. I had a lot of the trend masters ones 00:24:17.930 --> 00:24:22.730 that, or was it trend masters? So I, no, I don't 00:24:22.730 --> 00:24:24.589 think it was trend. Maybe it was, I don't know. 00:24:24.630 --> 00:24:27.470 Anyway, late when Mars attacks came out, there 00:24:27.470 --> 00:24:30.329 was a company, I think it was trend masters and 00:24:30.329 --> 00:24:35.529 they did Mars attacks and Tarzan and John Carter 00:24:35.529 --> 00:24:39.650 and Godzilla. And they had all of these interesting 00:24:39.650 --> 00:24:43.089 older licenses, but they made great. toys. Now, 00:24:43.150 --> 00:24:45.130 at the time, I didn't think they were great toys 00:24:45.130 --> 00:24:49.609 because I was into articulation and great sculpt 00:24:49.609 --> 00:24:53.230 and McFarlane and stuff like that. And these 00:24:53.230 --> 00:24:58.329 were more toys. So I bought a bunch of those 00:24:58.329 --> 00:25:02.150 Godzilla toys. Like I said, honestly, Godzilla 00:25:02.150 --> 00:25:05.470 has been more of a toy thing for me than anything 00:25:05.470 --> 00:25:09.150 else. But I've maintained an awareness of the 00:25:09.150 --> 00:25:11.589 movies over the years. And as I talked about 00:25:11.910 --> 00:25:14.089 last year, Godzilla minus zero. I think it was 00:25:14.089 --> 00:25:15.970 last year. Was it two years ago? I don't know. 00:25:15.970 --> 00:25:18.990 Time has lost all meaning. Uh, Godzilla minus 00:25:18.990 --> 00:25:25.250 one is my favorite Godzilla film. And also I 00:25:25.250 --> 00:25:29.289 think just an incredible movie. Uh, it gives 00:25:29.289 --> 00:25:36.220 you the big monster action. I've got to respond 00:25:36.220 --> 00:25:43.079 to a text here. Uh, As I mentioned at the top 00:25:43.079 --> 00:25:45.440 of the show, the, the missus is out and about 00:25:45.440 --> 00:25:47.880 today and is like sending me pictures of, of

00:25:47.880 --> 00:25:50.660 things. Do you want this? Look at this. Isn't 00:25:50.660 --> 00:25:53.000 this funny? That kind of stuff. Uh, which is 00:25:53.000 --> 00:25:55.119 nice because I, I just didn't feel like getting 00:25:55.119 --> 00:25:57.440 out and about, but I do like seeing updates from, 00:25:57.519 --> 00:25:59.660 you know, wherever she's going. She just sent 00:25:59.660 --> 00:26:03.119 me a picture of those DK or is it DK? Yeah. DK 00:26:03.119 --> 00:26:06.259 books who do like the guides and the art collections 00:26:06.259 --> 00:26:10.359 and the kind of mass market. uh, thing like star 00:26:10.359 --> 00:26:12.779 Wars books. She just sent me a picture of their 00:26:12.779 --> 00:26:14.519 masters of the universe book. And I was like, 00:26:14.599 --> 00:26:16.819 Oh yeah, I would like to have that. And it's 00:26:16.819 --> 00:26:20.000 only seven bucks. So good find. I'll take it. 00:26:22.509 --> 00:26:24.549 All right. So back to Godzilla, Godzilla minus 00:26:24.549 --> 00:26:28.069 one is incredible. Uh, it's, it's big giant monster 00:26:28.069 --> 00:26:31.769 action, but also this wonderful human story that 00:26:31.769 --> 00:26:33.750 could have been told without even having Godzilla 00:26:33.750 --> 00:26:37.930 in it. You know, most many Godzilla movies for 00:26:38.059 --> 00:26:40.750 me. I'm kind of just sitting there waiting for 00:26:40.750 --> 00:26:42.730 the humans to stop talking so we can see the 00:26:42.730 --> 00:26:45.150 monsters again. And granted, you can't have a 00:26:45.150 --> 00:26:48.309 movie that's just 90 minutes of monsters fighting. 00:26:48.470 --> 00:26:50.430 That's not good either. And there are some Godzilla 00:26:50.430 --> 00:26:52.690 movies that are pretty close to that, and they're 00:26:52.690 --> 00:26:57.009 not good. I mean, it's just how it is. What Godzilla 00:26:57.009 --> 00:27:00.390 minus one did that was so magnificent was give 00:27:00.390 --> 00:27:05.579 us this incredible human story of people in Japan 00:27:05.579 --> 00:27:09.579 dealing with the fallout. of the bombs and then 00:27:09.579 --> 00:27:12.140 having to deal with Godzilla. And it's beautiful. 00:27:12.319 --> 00:27:15.890 It's incredible. There's a depth to it. There 00:27:15.890 --> 00:27:18.930 is a great regard for human life that I find 00:27:18.930 --> 00:27:23.410 absent from much of American cinema. And I'm 00:27:23.410 --> 00:27:25.210 not trying to poo -poo American movies because 00:27:25.210 --> 00:27:28.150 I love them. They're great. I have a lot of fun 00:27:28.150 --> 00:27:30.210 watching American movies. But then you watch 00:27:30.210 --> 00:27:32.450 something like the Godzilla Minus movies, which 00:27:32.450 --> 00:27:35.089 I went and saw Godzilla Minus Zero on Friday, 00:27:35.190 --> 00:27:37.799 which is... part of why we're talking about Godzilla 00:27:37.799 --> 00:27:44.950 right now. It's perhaps even more of a human 00:27:44.950 --> 00:27:48.190 story. Like the human, I, I cried twice in the 00:27:48.190 --> 00:27:52.390 movie. Uh, one, uh, no, it gets a little kind 00:27:52.390 --> 00:27:55.109 of spoil it. Uh, I cried twice in the movie. 00:27:55.190 --> 00:27:56.630 I'll just say that. Cause I don't want to spoil 00:27:56.630 --> 00:27:58.890 it at all. Cause I didn't know anything. I knew 00:27:58.890 --> 00:28:01.210 the movie was coming out. I did not watch a trailer. 00:28:01.430 --> 00:28:04.710 Uh, I did not like, I had no, all I knew was 00:28:04.710 --> 00:28:08.009 I'm going to go see this movie. I did not know, 00:28:08.130 --> 00:28:10.390 and look, I'm going to say this because I don't 00:28:10.390 --> 00:28:12.029 feel it spoils it, because apparently everybody 00:28:12.029 --> 00:28:14.410 knew this going into it except for me. I didn't 00:28:14.410 --> 00:28:17.549 know that Ghidra was the antagonist in the movie. 00:28:18.299 --> 00:28:22.740 Ghidra slash King Ghidra is my favorite of the 00:28:22.740 --> 00:28:28.359 Kaiju, as I think a lot of people. He's kind 00:28:28.359 --> 00:28:31.720 of the creature from the Black Lagoon of the 00:28:31.720 --> 00:28:36.299 Kaiju. I think he's your... All us basic bitches 00:28:36.299 --> 00:28:40.039 really like King Ghidorah, I think. So anyway, 00:28:40.140 --> 00:28:44.599 I had no clue that he was the antagonist in the 00:28:44.599 --> 00:28:46.680 movie. So that was very exciting for me. And 00:28:46.680 --> 00:28:49.700 the way that they portray him is fantastic. The 00:28:49.700 --> 00:28:53.140 movie's fucking awesome. I did not go see it 00:28:53.140 --> 00:28:56.960 in IMAX. I don't like IMAX. Sorry, I just don't. 00:28:56.960 --> 00:28:58.859 And I know I talked about going to see The Odyssey 00:28:58.859 --> 00:29:02.660 in IMAX. And that was me getting caught up in 00:29:02.660 --> 00:29:04.809 a... a trend, which happens to me. I'm not going 00:29:04.809 --> 00:29:08.549 to lie, but I don't, I've seen two things in 00:29:08.549 --> 00:29:11.789 IMAX. I cannot, I think maybe we saw the first 00:29:11.789 --> 00:29:14.809 Pacific Rim in IMAX or so. I can't, I can't remember 00:29:14.809 --> 00:29:17.470 what they were, but I do remember the two IMAX 00:29:17.470 --> 00:29:19.609 experiences I've had. I did not enjoy. It was 00:29:19.609 --> 00:29:21.950 too much. It's too big. I don't need that much 00:29:21.950 --> 00:29:24.069 fucking screen. I can't see the whole picture. 00:29:24.190 --> 00:29:28.509 It's, it's huge. I just, it's not, maybe Dark 00:29:28.509 --> 00:29:32.950 Knight was the next one. I can't remember. I 00:29:32.950 --> 00:29:35.269 think I saw that in IMAX. I'm not positive. But 00:29:35.269 --> 00:29:36.769 anyway, I've had two experiences. Didn't particularly 00:29:36.769 --> 00:29:39.170 enjoy it. So I don't make a point of trying to 00:29:39.170 --> 00:29:41.930 go see IMAX. Although this was shot for IMAX. 00:29:41.930 --> 00:29:44.789 So if you do like IMAX, then by all means, go 00:29:44.789

--> 00:29:46.849 see it in IMAX. I saw it in a regular ass theater 00:29:46.849 --> 00:29:51.839 and it was awesome. So whatever. So Godzilla 00:29:51.839 --> 00:29:55.980 is... I've talked before about how my fandoms... 00:29:56.500 --> 00:30:00.279 swirl about in my brain and ebb and flow and 00:30:00.279 --> 00:30:03.259 and sometimes i'm more into doctor who sometimes 00:30:03.259 --> 00:30:05.920 i'm more into ninja turtles but they're all always 00:30:05.920 --> 00:30:09.819 there bubbling around so right now i'm like enthusiastic 00:30:09.819 --> 00:30:12.240 about godzilla because there's new godzilla stuff 00:30:12.240 --> 00:30:18.359 uh and and very exciting super seven put up reaction 00:30:18.359 --> 00:30:22.940 deluxe and ultimate figures of godzilla and king 00:30:22.940 --> 00:30:27.019 gidra from godzilla minus zero I don't know yet 00:30:27.019 --> 00:30:28.660 what I want to order, but I'm excited that they're 00:30:28.660 --> 00:30:30.720 coming out or they're estimated for mid February, 00:30:30.920 --> 00:30:33.480 which means they're already in production. So 00:30:33.480 --> 00:30:35.440 this is not one of the super seven deals where 00:30:35.440 --> 00:30:38.380 they're going to be out in mid 2028 or whatever 00:30:38.380 --> 00:30:40.759 the fuck, like these will be in hand in just 00:30:40.759 --> 00:30:43.140 a few months. And the way that time passes for 00:30:43.140 --> 00:30:45.200 me now, February is right around the fucking 00:30:45.200 --> 00:30:50.619 corner. Uh, so, you know, that's, uh, I don't 00:30:50.619 --> 00:30:53.240 know which of those I love. I've got most of 00:30:53.240 --> 00:30:58.500 my Toho Kaiju. are reaction figures, but I've 00:30:58.500 --> 00:31:00.700 got a few of the deluxe ones that I really like. 00:31:00.759 --> 00:31:03.319 And of course, the ultimates are freaking awesome, 00:31:03.599 --> 00:31:08.990 but also very expensive and take up a lot of 00:31:08.990 --> 00:31:11.049 space. That ultimate King Ghidorah, I can't even 00:31:11.049 --> 00:31:14.569 imagine how big it's going to be, but also that 00:31:14.569 --> 00:31:17.619 makes me kind of want it more because they do 00:31:17.619 --> 00:31:20.460 scale those things. Like if you've seen the, 00:31:20.799 --> 00:31:22.559 and I'm going to mangle the pronunciation here, 00:31:22.619 --> 00:31:26.339 perhaps the Bialante figure. That thing is, with 00:31:26.339 --> 00:31:28.180 all the tentacles and everything, is crazy. I 00:31:28.180 --> 00:31:29.859 think I even talked to Christian at one point 00:31:29.859 --> 00:31:32.859 about he had trouble displaying it because it's 00:31:32.859 --> 00:31:36.519 so massive. So, like, that's exciting, but also 00:31:36.519 --> 00:31:38.799 space is an issue. So I haven't decided yet. 00:31:38.839 --> 00:31:40.460 I should probably go ahead and order the reaction 00:31:40.460 --> 00:31:42.200 figures just because I know I'd like to have 00:31:42.200 --> 00:31:46.599 those regardless. I don't know. We'll see. So, 00:31:46.599 --> 00:31:51.579 minus zero. Fantastic. If you have not seen the 00:31:51.579 --> 00:31:54.619 first one, Minus Zero is not going to be as impactful 00:31:54.619 --> 00:31:57.599 as is often the case with franchise type stuff 00:31:57.599 --> 00:31:59.759 where they really focus on connecting the stories. 00:32:01.619 --> 00:32:08.279 Because the human portions of those movies are 00:32:08.279 --> 00:32:11.640 incredible. Which is why I say they're the best 00:32:11.640 --> 00:32:14.319 Godzilla movies. Because you're engaged even 00:32:14.319 --> 00:32:16.420 when the monsters are not present on the screen. 00:32:16.960 --> 00:32:20.720 But they also deliver plenty. of ground smashing 00:32:20.720 --> 00:32:26.269 monster action. So that's not the end of the 00:32:26.269 --> 00:32:28.730 Godzilla portion of this episode, because I also 00:32:28.730 --> 00:32:30.730 have to talk about something I watched for the 00:32:30.730 --> 00:32:34.970 first time, Shin Godzilla. So that thing's 10 00:32:34.970 --> 00:32:36.970 years old now, which blows my mind. I can't believe 00:32:36.970 --> 00:32:39.700 it. People have been talking about how good Shin 00:32:39.700 --> 00:32:43.859 Godzilla is for years, telling me you need to 00:32:43.859 --> 00:32:45.440 watch Shin Godzilla. I've seen the merchandise. 00:32:45.599 --> 00:32:49.720 I've seen the enthusiasm. And... It's one of 00:32:49.720 --> 00:32:51.960 those things where, one, people were so excited 00:32:51.960 --> 00:32:55.640 about it, I was like, now my expectations are 00:32:55.640 --> 00:32:59.839 too high. I don't want to jump on that. But also, 00:32:59.980 --> 00:33:04.440 when you see the Shin Godzilla design with no 00:33:04.440 --> 00:33:09.589 context, it is very silly looking. But now, I 00:33:09.589 --> 00:33:13.950 have watched Shin Godzilla, and I love it. I'm 00:33:13.950 --> 00:33:15.529 not going to call it my favorite Godzilla movie, 00:33:15.690 --> 00:33:17.630 because that is reserved for Godzilla Minus One. 00:33:19.579 --> 00:33:24.789 But Shin Godzilla is awesome because to me, this 00:33:24.789 --> 00:33:28.049 is to me, if nobody else feels this way, whatever, 00:33:28.250 --> 00:33:31.509 it felt like Wes Anderson made a Godzilla movie. 00:33:32.809 --> 00:33:39.660 And I enjoyed every second of it. And what hooked 00:33:39.660 --> 00:33:43.259 me in, what made it a, I'm not even going to 00:33:43.259 --> 00:33:45.299 look at my phone once movie, or I don't even 00:33:45.299 --> 00:33:48.470 want to pause it movie. was the look of, I think 00:33:48.470 --> 00:33:51.789 it was the second stage of Shin Godzilla's evolution, 00:33:51.910 --> 00:34:01.500 was so insane. Such a bold decision that I was 00:34:01.500 --> 00:34:04.299 like, what the fuck is going on with this movie? 00:34:04.500 --> 00:34:08.670 And I was just, didn't pause it, didn't look 00:34:08.670 --> 00:34:14.780 at my phone, just smile on my face the whole

00:34:14.780 --> 00:34:18.650 movie. had a blast and now I need a Shin Godzilla 00:34:18.650 --> 00:34:21.289 figure of some kind. And there are tons of them 00:34:21.289 --> 00:34:23.849 out there. What I really want is that stage two 00:34:23.849 --> 00:34:27.349 look, but there aren't a lot of those out there, 00:34:27.389 --> 00:34:29.690 unfortunately, but I need to get some kind of, 00:34:29.690 --> 00:34:31.469 again, I'll probably just get a reaction figure 00:34:31.469 --> 00:34:33.510 because that's the most reasonably priced thing. 00:34:33.750 --> 00:34:36.869 Uh, but I need a Shin Godzilla toy now because 00:34:36.869 --> 00:34:39.090 I love that movie too. So if you never got around 00:34:39.090 --> 00:34:43.039 to watching it, check out Shin Godzilla. If you 00:34:43.039 --> 00:34:45.179 haven't seen Godzilla Minus One, watch that. 00:34:45.219 --> 00:34:47.619 Godzilla Minus Zero, go to the theater and see 00:34:47.619 --> 00:34:51.199 it. It's a powerful, moving experience. They 00:34:51.199 --> 00:34:57.320 are beautifully human films that also have giant 00:34:57.320 --> 00:35:00.300 monsters blowing shit up. Blowing each other 00:35:00.300 --> 00:35:04.860 up. Love them. I would sit down, if I didn't 00:35:04.860 --> 00:35:07.139 have other stuff to do today, I could sit down 00:35:07.139 --> 00:35:10.659 and watch all three of those movies I just mentioned. 00:35:11.039 --> 00:35:14.059 right now like the rest of the day and be perfectly 00:35:14.059 --> 00:35:18.340 fine. Let's see. Oh, my notes went away because 00:35:18.340 --> 00:35:20.659 I responded to that Masters of the Universe text. 00:35:21.280 --> 00:35:24.699 Last thing, I think this is the last thing I'm 00:35:24.699 --> 00:35:26.579 going to talk about here. And look, we're at 00:35:26.579 --> 00:35:28.860 35 minutes and I bet I've got a good 10 minutes 00:35:28.860 --> 00:35:30.980 or so left. I think that's enough of an episode, 00:35:31.119 --> 00:35:35.030 right? Right. I believe so. Last thing I want 00:35:35.030 --> 00:35:39.670 to talk about this week is Luc Besson's Dracula. 00:35:41.610 --> 00:35:45.769 So, I didn't even know about this. I've been 00:35:45.769 --> 00:35:51.090 watching to get a little bit back into the political 00:35:51.090 --> 00:35:55.639 stuff. I've been talking about this for a couple 00:35:55.639 --> 00:35:57.300 of months now. I've been re -watching Star Trek 00:35:57.300 --> 00:36:00.320 The Next Generation, which is one of the most 00:36:00.320 --> 00:36:05.719 encouraging, hopeful, wow, the future of humanity 00:36:05.719 --> 00:36:09.179 could be great things out there, right? I mean, 00:36:09.179 --> 00:36:12.389 that's generally Star Trek. And Paramount Plus 00:36:12.389 --> 00:36:14.969 is such a weird fucking thing because you go 00:36:14.969 --> 00:36:20.210 there to watch Star Trek or South Park or The 00:36:20.210 --> 00:36:23.989 Daily Show and these things that are so subversive 00:36:23.989 --> 00:36:28.949 to white Christian nationalists. But then everything 00:36:28.949 --> 00:36:33.690 else on the service is in... service of white 00:36:33.690 --> 00:36:35.650 christian nationalism it's all these fucking 00:36:35.650 --> 00:36:38.849 cowboy shows about white people protecting their 00:36:38.849 --> 00:36:43.210 land from the other and and birthright and dana 00:36:43.210 --> 00:36:46.909 white speaking of white people dana white couldn't 00:36:46.909 --> 00:36:50.789 could that be more fucking on the nose uh doing 00:36:50.789 --> 00:36:54.840 commercials for giant inefficient trucks and 00:36:54.840 --> 00:36:58.300 talking about how america is great big trucks 00:36:58.300 --> 00:37:00.920 they're all like so you've got all this like 00:37:00.920 --> 00:37:07.219 gross republican bullshit and but it's it's all 00:37:07.219 --> 00:37:12.860 wrapping up this glorious uh you know very very 00:37:12.860 --> 00:37:16.159 uh progressive entertainment like star trek south 00:37:16.159 --> 00:37:18.780 park and daily show it's fucking it's a weird 00:37:18.780 --> 00:37:21.960 experience opening up paramount plus but i do 00:37:21.960 --> 00:37:25.980 because as i said that's where south park is 00:37:25.980 --> 00:37:28.119 is kind of hit or miss with me but like daily 00:37:28.119 --> 00:37:31.460 show is a regular visit and as i said star trek 00:37:31.460 --> 00:37:34.340 is is one of the the tent poles of my fandom 00:37:34.340 --> 00:37:39.739 uh so Next generation rewatching it. And when 00:37:39.739 --> 00:37:43.840 I would go in the, in October, this Dracula would 00:37:43.840 --> 00:37:46.440 pop up and I didn't know what it was. I didn't 00:37:46.440 --> 00:37:48.440 know if there was any new Dracula, but quite 00:37:48.440 --> 00:37:51.539 frankly, in the year 2026, I, my interest level 00:37:51.539 --> 00:37:57.219 in another Dracula is very low because we have, 00:37:57.260 --> 00:37:59.340 you know, a couple of years, I think it was a 00:37:59.340 --> 00:38:01.699 couple of years ago. We had the heights of Nosferatu, 00:38:01.800 --> 00:38:05.699 which I loved. absolutely loved. And then we've 00:38:05.699 --> 00:38:08.280 got Francis Ford Coppola's Dracula, which is 00:38:08.280 --> 00:38:11.820 this gorgeous masterpiece, this lush, almost 00:38:11.820 --> 00:38:15.800 excessive piece of film. Uh, and then of course 00:38:15.800 --> 00:38:18.340 the classics, uh, you know, Bela Lugosi's Dracula, 00:38:18.579 --> 00:38:21.179 the universal monsters, uh, universal version, 00:38:21.280 --> 00:38:24.480 and then the Spanish language version, which 00:38:24.480 --> 00:38:27.260 I actually prefer. And I'm not saying, look, 00:38:27.440 --> 00:38:29.539 if you're listening to this, if you've stuck 00:38:29.539 --> 00:38:32.710 with me this far into this show, I think you 00:38:32.710 --> 00:38:35.989 know me well enough that I'm not a guy who does 00:38:35.989 --> 00:38:40.110 the, like, pretension thing or the, well, I like 00:38:40.110 -->

00:38:43.389 this thing just because it makes me look fancier. 00:38:43.590 --> 00:38:47.969 Like, I'm not that guy at all. I like, as I mentioned 00:38:47.969 --> 00:38:50.969 earlier, I like Creature from the Black Lagoon. 00:38:50.969 --> 00:38:54.409 I like King Ghidra. Those are my favorites. Like, 00:38:54.469 --> 00:38:58.289 I make no bones about having a popular opinion 00:38:58.289 --> 00:39:01.989 about something. But I do genuinely think the 00:39:01.989 --> 00:39:05.969 Spanish version of Dracula is better than the 00:39:05.969 --> 00:39:10.170 English version. And I also think that that actor 00:39:10.170 --> 00:39:14.250 is a more menacing... He's more my flavor of 00:39:14.250 --> 00:39:16.570 Dracula than Bela Lugosi. And that's not to take 00:39:16.570 --> 00:39:19.210 anything away from Bela Lugosi's iconic performance. 00:39:20.150 --> 00:39:23.849 Absolutely to be worshipped for decades to come. 00:39:24.989 --> 00:39:28.340 But... I think the Spanish actor's performance 00:39:28.340 --> 00:39:30.820 is better. And I didn't even watch that until 00:39:30.820 --> 00:39:35.239 10 or whatever years ago. So it came to me late 00:39:35.239 --> 00:39:39.199 in life. So I unfortunately don't have that actor's 00:39:39.199 --> 00:39:41.860 name right at the top of my head. But I do genuinely 00:39:41.860 --> 00:39:43.860 think that version is better, more effective. 00:39:45.840 --> 00:39:49.610 But I just wasn't interested in a new Dracula 00:39:49.610 --> 00:39:52.110 at this point in time. I remember the BBC Dracula 00:39:52.110 --> 00:39:54.110 that came out a couple years ago. And actually, 00:39:54.130 --> 00:39:57.349 the first time I saw... Dracula pop -up on Paramount+. 00:39:57.349 --> 00:39:59.170 I thought maybe that's what it was, and they 00:39:59.170 --> 00:40:01.329 were just, because it was the spooky season, 00:40:01.429 --> 00:40:03.909 they were trying to push that thing again. I 00:40:03.909 --> 00:40:05.489 didn't watch it. I didn't hear anything good 00:40:05.489 --> 00:40:07.650 about it. If you did, hit me up and let me know 00:40:07.650 --> 00:40:10.570 if it's worth watching. But whatever it was, 00:40:10.750 --> 00:40:12.809 I was just like, new Dracula, not right now. 00:40:13.739 --> 00:40:17.880 And then, I don't know, something about it, I 00:40:18.079 --> 00:40:21.579 was just like, eh, let's watch it. Why not? Let's 00:40:21.579 --> 00:40:23.679 watch this new Dracula. If it's shitty, turn 00:40:23.679 --> 00:40:25.539 it off. Cause that that's, I've gotten to the 00:40:25.539 --> 00:40:28.320 point now where time is too precious. And if, 00:40:28.360 --> 00:40:31.239 if something hasn't hooked me 15 or so minutes 00:40:31.239 --> 00:40:33.380 in, I'll turn it off and watch something else. 00:40:33.440 --> 00:40:35.300 I'll turn it off and watch another Star Trek, 00:40:35.360 --> 00:40:38.420 you know? So we put this Dracula on and right 00:40:38.420 --> 00:40:40.280 from the start, it's like, oh, this is different. 00:40:40.579 --> 00:40:43.219 This is a new take to me. This is a new take 00:40:43.219 --> 00:40:46.840 on Dracula. Very interesting, uh, where it really 00:40:46.840 --> 00:40:49.460 does sort of present him as a protagonist in 00:40:49.460 --> 00:40:54.960 a sense. Uh, and. It's gorgeous. I mean, it's 00:40:54.960 --> 00:40:58.059 Luc Besson. This is Fifth Element guy. This is, 00:40:58.079 --> 00:41:00.480 no matter what you think of it, the Valerian 00:41:00.480 --> 00:41:05.000 guy, which I still really like that. I know it 00:41:05.000 --> 00:41:08.659 didn't. Well, let's not get into it right now. 00:41:08.739 --> 00:41:12.000 But Luc Besson, he has an eye and he has a style 00:41:12.000 --> 00:41:16.079 and they're both pretty cool. And this felt like 00:41:16.079 --> 00:41:19.960 that. Christoph Waltz plays a priest who, I'll 00:41:19.960 --> 00:41:23.820 be honest with you right now. I don't believe 00:41:23.820 --> 00:41:26.179 he's Van Helsing. You know what? This I'm going 00:41:26.179 --> 00:41:28.780 to look up because I'm going to feel like such 00:41:28.780 --> 00:41:34.159 a dummy for enjoying this movie, but not paying 00:41:34.159 --> 00:41:37.420 enough attention to even catch Christoph Waltz's 00:41:37.420 --> 00:41:40.960 character's name. Oh, he was. He was Van Helsing. 00:41:40.960 --> 00:41:45.480 See, he was a priest. So I didn't take him as 00:41:45.480 --> 00:41:48.460 Van Helsing. And I'll tell you right now, I am 00:41:48.460 --> 00:41:51.440 not sure they say his name in the movie. They 00:41:51.440 --> 00:41:53.630 might. But it was one of those things where you 00:41:53.630 --> 00:41:57.210 kind of get caught up in the spectacle. Caleb 00:41:57.210 --> 00:42:03.559 Landry Jones is Dracula. Zoe Blue is the female 00:42:03.559 --> 00:42:05.599 lead. I'll put it that way because I don't want 00:42:05.599 --> 00:42:08.380 to spoil anything about the movie. And then a 00:42:08.380 --> 00:42:10.739 bunch of other characters or actors that I'm 00:42:10.739 --> 00:42:12.940 not familiar with, which was kind of a cool thing 00:42:12.940 --> 00:42:15.900 about it. And honestly, I'm not overly familiar 00:42:15.900 --> 00:42:18.900 with Caleb Landry Jones. Christoph Waltz was 00:42:18.900 --> 00:42:22.210 the draw. For me. And he does his Christoph Waltz 00:42:22.210 --> 00:42:24.130 thing. He's delightful in the movie. Thoroughly 00:42:24.130 --> 00:42:28.389 enjoyable. There's a quirk and a wit to the movie 00:42:28.389 --> 00:42:34.840 that I did not expect. It's fun. It's beautiful. 00:42:35.179 --> 00:42:39.059 It's dramatic. It's melodramatic, quite frankly. 00:42:39.699 --> 00:42:46.940 The first act is very engrossing. The final act... 00:42:47.079 --> 00:42:50.159 is very rewarding. It gives you everything you 00:42:50.159 --> 00:42:54.630 want. The middle of the movie, there was a point 00:42:54.630 --> 00:42:59.170 where I said, wow, what I'll say about this versus 00:42:59.170 -->

00:43:03.110 other Dracula interpretations is there seems 00:43:03.110 --> 00:43:06.449 to be a whole lot less going on in this one than 00:43:06.449 --> 00:43:09.570 in other ones. And it is the middle of the movie, 00:43:09.650 --> 00:43:12.789 it drags a little bit, but fucking hang in there 00:43:12.789 --> 00:43:18.530 because the end is great. I loved it. So I enjoyed 00:43:18.530 --> 00:43:21.909 this Dracula. And again, I went in with really 00:43:21.909 --> 00:43:26.230 no expectations. I didn't know what it was going 00:43:26.230 --> 00:43:28.489 to be. I didn't know what new it might be bringing 00:43:28.489 --> 00:43:32.010 to the table. And for me, it told a version of 00:43:32.010 --> 00:43:38.940 the story that I hadn't seen before. There are 00:43:38.940 --> 00:43:44.380 some similarities to Coppola's, but not significantly, 00:43:46.090 --> 00:43:50.760 I don't think. Uh, so what else we got? So check 00:43:50.760 --> 00:43:52.920 out Dracula on Paramount plus, you know, wait, 00:43:52.960 --> 00:43:55.380 wade through all the white power bullshit that's 00:43:55.380 --> 00:43:58.500 on that, uh, streaming service. Uh, and look, 00:43:58.639 --> 00:44:01.320 I know, I know I talk all the time about not 00:44:01.320 --> 00:44:06.440 supporting, uh, the things that you don't want 00:44:06.440 --> 00:44:09.199 to support. And if you don't, if, if you don't 00:44:09.199 --> 00:44:11.780 need Star Trek, which I will admit, I'm a little 00:44:11.780 --> 00:44:14.219 ashamed. I don't own physical copies of all the 00:44:14.219 --> 00:44:17.019 Star Trek that I would like to own, but it's, 00:44:17.019 --> 00:44:21.000 it's a little pricey. I mean, not really. If 00:44:21.000 --> 00:44:23.780 you consider the value, whatever, get your physical 00:44:23.780 --> 00:44:28.199 media. That's own it. But if you are like, no, 00:44:28.360 --> 00:44:30.300 I can't believe you even subscribed to Paramount 00:44:30.300 --> 00:44:34.179 Plus. You dummy. Yeah, no, I agree. But there's 00:44:34.179 --> 00:44:35.820 enough on there that I'm like, no, I'd like to 00:44:35.820 --> 00:44:39.159 keep up with this stuff. We all pick and choose, 00:44:39.460 --> 00:44:43.639 right? What are, this is a bridge too far for 00:44:43.639 --> 00:44:48.760 me, or this is a, it's just how it is. And that's 00:44:48.760 --> 00:44:52.300 Paramount Plus is one of my blind spots. Well, 00:44:52.400 --> 00:44:54.800 not blind, because I'm well aware of the bullshit 00:44:54.800 --> 00:44:58.860 that's on that service. But I want the stuff 00:44:58.860 --> 00:45:01.019 that it offers. So we all have to make choices 00:45:01.019 --> 00:45:03.719 about where we spend our money and what we do. 00:45:03.940 --> 00:45:06.179 And that's one of the ones that I don't like 00:45:06.179 --> 00:45:08.900 that I'm spending money there, but I do it. It's 00:45:08.900 --> 00:45:11.480 the same thing. Amazon and Walmart are essentially 00:45:11.480 --> 00:45:14.340 unavoidable. And I'm

sure there are folks out 00:45:14.340 --> 00:45:16.840 there who... Don't use Amazon at all. Don't go 00:45:16.840 --> 00:45:20.019 to Walmart at all. Good for you. Good. Keep it 00:45:20.019 --> 00:45:22.539 up. I do my best. I try to minimize my spending 00:45:22.539 --> 00:45:28.639 with those. But, you know, modern society is 00:45:28.639 --> 00:45:32.719 what it is. Man, I'm trying to think. I would 00:45:32.719 --> 00:45:35.179 love to have kind of a capper for this just to 00:45:35.179 --> 00:45:39.829 wrap things up. And I guess the capper will be... 00:45:43.289 --> 00:45:46.409 The troublemaker screening is very special to 00:45:46.409 --> 00:45:49.590 me. The film is very special to me. The way that 00:45:49.590 --> 00:45:52.210 people have received it is very rewarding. And 00:45:52.210 --> 00:45:59.079 I don't want to sound like I'm let down by what 00:45:59.079 --> 00:46:01.199 happened. Well, I am. I am let down by what happened 00:46:01.199 --> 00:46:03.760 with it. Because it deserved to be something 00:46:03.760 --> 00:46:07.179 much bigger than what it was. But it didn't work 00:46:07.179 --> 00:46:09.000 out that way. And that's how life is. Sometimes 00:46:09.000 --> 00:46:12.690 things just don't... Oftentimes. Things just 00:46:12.690 --> 00:46:15.150 don't work out quite like you saw them working 00:46:15.150 --> 00:46:19.809 out. And it's not done down the road. Who knows 00:46:19.809 --> 00:46:22.369 what's going to happen? But I want to give it 00:46:22.369 --> 00:46:24.110 a send off. I want to have some fun. I want to 00:46:24.110 --> 00:46:25.650 party with it. I want to party with the people 00:46:25.650 --> 00:46:28.110 that were involved with it. And I want to party 00:46:28.110 --> 00:46:29.769 with anybody who wants to show up and hang out 00:46:29.769 --> 00:46:32.210 with us. Because that's what we do. We want to 00:46:32.210 --> 00:46:34.010 include people. We want to give people a good 00:46:34.010 --> 00:46:36.269 time. It's what the game show is about. It's 00:46:36.269 --> 00:46:38.269 what this podcast is about. Except for when I 00:46:38.269 --> 00:46:42.010 get a little too down in political things. It's 00:46:42.010 --> 00:46:44.949 really what I'm about is just trying to show 00:46:44.949 --> 00:46:46.909 people a good time and make everything as fun 00:46:46.909 --> 00:46:49.510 as it can be. And believe me, that troublemaker 00:46:49.510 --> 00:46:51.690 screening is going to be that. So November 28th, 00:46:51.690 --> 00:46:54.389 Blackstrap Rock Hall. Make a trip out to Gainesville. 00:46:55.659 --> 00:46:58.559 We're not going until midnight. I'll tell you 00:46:58.559 --> 00:47:01.119 that right now. But we are going to have a good 00:47:01.119 --> 00:47:02.940 time. We're going to have a party. So come out 00:47:02.940 --> 00:47:05.679 and join us. We've got a new Audible Interlude 00:47:05.679 --> 00:47:09.900 live stream that happens November the 9th. So 00:47:09.900 --> 00:47:11.460 if you're listening to this before that, join 00:47:11.460 --> 00:47:13.840 us on Audible Interlude. There are a number of 00:47:13.840 --> 00:47:16.019 people I know who aren't even into Joe who join 00:47:16.019 --> 00:47:17.619 us for the live streams because they have a fun 00:47:17.619 --> 00:47:19.820 time. And of course, the audio from that will 00:47:19.820 --> 00:47:21.980 be available next Friday. Check out the Needless 00:47:21.980 --> 00:47:24.300 Things YouTube channel. Like, subscribe, share. 00:47:24.500 --> 00:47:27.760 I get a lot of reviews going up over there. And 00:47:27.760 --> 00:47:30.519 again, it's just about having fun. I like reviewing 00:47:30.519 --> 00:47:32.840 toys. I'm having fun doing it. It isn't paying 00:47:32.840 --> 00:47:36.420 the bills. But I sure do like it. And I even 00:47:36.420 --> 00:47:38.179 like engaging over there because we've gotten 00:47:38.179 --> 00:47:40.099 to the point now where my skin's a little bit 00:47:40.099 --> 00:47:42.440 thicker. So when people are being shitheads in 00:47:42.440 --> 00:47:46.119 the comments, like I can kind of deal with it 00:47:46.119 --> 00:47:49.519 a little better. Like I have methods now, depending 00:47:49.519 --> 00:47:52.400 on what level of shithead I'm dealing with. So 00:47:52.400 --> 00:47:54.659 that's been good for me too. I actually met in 00:47:54.659 --> 00:47:57.179 person when I was doing the standup stuff, which 00:47:57.179 --> 00:48:00.420 someday I'll get back to that. I actually met 00:48:00.420 --> 00:48:06.929 one of the... commenters who had seemed to me 00:48:06.929 --> 00:48:11.289 to be more abrasive with their commenting. I 00:48:11.289 --> 00:48:14.150 met him in person and he's a cool guy. I had 00:48:14.150 --> 00:48:18.389 fun talking to him and I kind of understood more 00:48:18.389 --> 00:48:22.210 the nature of what he was saying. And that's 00:48:22.210 --> 00:48:26.750 another thing to keep in mind too, is how people 00:48:26.750 --> 00:48:31.030 are online. It is unlikely that that's how they 00:48:31.030 --> 00:48:38.199 are in real life. And reading something from 00:48:38.710 --> 00:48:42.230 another human being will never convey the same 00:48:42.230 --> 00:48:46.289 intent as speaking to that human being. It's 00:48:46.289 --> 00:48:48.670 why I don't engage online very much. Because 00:48:48.670 --> 00:48:50.949 one, I just don't enjoy talking with my thumbs. 00:48:51.349 --> 00:48:57.670 But two, so much intent is lost. So much context 00:48:57.670 --> 00:49:01.269 is lost from having a text interaction with somebody. 00:49:01.690 --> 00:49:05.059 I don't enjoy it. It's just not for me. But what 00:49:05.059 --> 00:49:07.260 I do enjoy is live in -person stuff, and that's 00:49:07.260 --> 00:49:09.400 the last thing I'll say. Come out and join us, 00:49:09.420 --> 00:49:12.039 Blackstrap Rock Hall, November the 28th. It's 00:49:12.039 --> 00:49:14.400 going to be an awesome time. Thank you for listening

00:49:14.400 --> 00:49:16.440 to the Needless Things podcast. Thank you for 00:49:16.440 --> 00:49:20.179 listening to another Oops! All Dave episode that 00:49:20.179 --> 00:49:24.840 I did not plan for at all. I appreciate it. Please 00:49:24.840 --> 00:49:28.440 subscribe, leave good reviews, share the episodes. 00:49:28.519 --> 00:49:30.940 If you enjoy something from Needless Things or 00:49:30.940 --> 00:49:34.079 from anything that you listen to, share it, share 00:49:34.079 --> 00:49:37.179 it in your socials, because that's the only way 00:49:37.179 --> 00:49:40.260 we get to expand and we get to grow is by being 00:49:40.260 --> 00:49:44.019 shared in feeds that aren't ours. Because the 00:49:44.019 --> 00:49:46.960 people that are in my feeds are already following 00:49:46.960 --> 00:49:51.070 me. Like the reach beyond that is minimal. Oh, 00:49:51.090 --> 00:49:52.829 I will say this. Actually, this is going to be 00:49:52.829 --> 00:49:56.050 my ender. I think I've definitely mentioned this 00:49:56.050 --> 00:49:59.420 on the show. At DragonCon, I had Christian record 00:49:59.420 --> 00:50:01.940 a little reel for me. Just a real quick thing 00:50:01.940 --> 00:50:05.559 that I thought would be funny. There was a DeLorean, 00:50:05.820 --> 00:50:09.340 a full -dressed Back to the Future -style DeLorean 00:50:09.340 --> 00:50:12.679 right next to a Cybertruck. Which, by the way, 00:50:12.760 --> 00:50:17.380 rests in fucking despair Cybertrucks. I was next 00:50:17.380 --> 00:50:19.820 to a Cybertruck that had a Hydra sticker on the 00:50:19.820 --> 00:50:22.739 back. And we just did a real quick, I did my 00:50:22.739 --> 00:50:26.679 best Doc Brown impersonation. I said, Marty, 00:50:26.800 --> 00:50:28.960 we've got to go back. We've got to stop this 00:50:28.960 --> 00:50:31.739 shit from happening. It's fun. It's dynamic. 00:50:31.920 --> 00:50:35.960 It's quick. And it's gotten 125 ,000 views on 00:50:35.960 --> 00:50:40.679 Instagram, which is insane and should mean something. 00:50:42.739 --> 00:50:45.159 doesn't like I you know I think I talked about 00:50:45.159 --> 00:50:47.179 this before I looked up like how to capitalize 00:50:47.179 --> 00:50:49.019 on that and it's like produce more of the same 00:50:49.019 --> 00:50:51.719 content well that's not really how often do I 00:50:51.719 --> 00:50:53.840 have the opportunity to do something like that 00:50:53.840 --> 00:50:57.480 so whatever but if you go go to the phantom troublemaker 00:50:57.480 --> 00:51:00.590 instagram and like share that reel put it in 00:51:00.590 --> 00:51:02.969 your stories or something keep that thing going 00:51:02.969 --> 00:51:05.670 because I think it's fun to watch it grow and 00:51:05.670 --> 00:51:07.809 continue to grow. Like every, every single day, 00:51:07.929 --> 00:51:10.289 I've never had anything like this before. Every 00:51:10.289 --> 00:51:12.110 day I get a notification of so -and -so liked 00:51:12.110 --> 00:51:14.289 your reel, so -and -so shared your reel or whatever. 00:51:14.429 --> 00:51:17.690 It's wild. It's, it's, and that it's really fun. 00:51:18.250 --> 00:51:21.369 Uh, and that's, I don't expect anything out of 00:51:21.369 --> 00:51:24.909 it, but it is fun to watch it grow. Uh, just 00:51:24.909 --> 00:51:26.889 like those old, when you go to the store and 00:51:26.889 --> 00:51:29.210 get those old cruddy rubber figures, but then 00:51:29.210 --> 00:51:30.849 you put them in water and they grow to like 20 00:51:30.849 --> 00:51:32.690 times their size. You're not going to get anything 00:51:32.690 --> 00:51:34.690 out of that, but it's fun to watch it grow. And 00:51:34.690 --> 00:51:39.010 that's how I feel about that reel. It just keeps 00:51:39.010 --> 00:51:41.710 going. It's the little reel that won't stop. 00:51:42.289 --> 00:51:44.369 I mean, it's pretty funny. If you haven't seen 00:51:44.369 --> 00:51:47.469 it, go check it out. Thanks for listening. I 00:51:47.469 --> 00:51:49.949 will hopefully be back next week. Oh, that was 00:51:49.949 --> 00:51:51.429 something I didn't even get to mention. There 00:51:51.429 --> 00:51:56.829 is one interview that we keep kicking back because 00:51:56.829 --> 00:52:00.510 the subject... keeps getting sort of, oh, no, 00:52:00.550 --> 00:52:02.389 wait, we're going to have more to talk about 00:52:02.389 --> 00:52:04.230 if we wait until this time, which I don't mind 00:52:04.230 --> 00:52:07.150 doing at all. I will kick something down the 00:52:07.150 --> 00:52:10.250 road for the creator's benefit as long as it 00:52:10.250 --> 00:52:12.949 takes. If it's a year from now, if that's your 00:52:12.949 --> 00:52:16.210 best time, your most comfortable, I've got no 00:52:16.210 --> 00:52:21.110 problem with that. So we do have a really exciting 00:52:21.110 --> 00:52:23.070 interview coming up, but it's just got to be 00:52:23.070 --> 00:52:25.289 the right time for the creator. So there you 00:52:25.289 --> 00:52:28.690 go. I'm just going to cut it. We're done. We're 00:52:28.690 --> 00:52:31.989 done. You don't have to go home, but you can't 00:52:31.989 --> 00:52:35.030 stay here because it's a podcast and we have 00:52:35.030 --> 00:52:39.309 no physical location. Thanks for listening. Until 00:52:39.309 --> 00:52:59.630 next time, buy what you like. You have been listening 00:52:59.630 --> 00:53:02.130 to a Needless Things production.
