WEBVTT 00:00:04.299 --> 00:00:09.019 All right, Jim. Yes, sir. You're running into 00:00:09.019 --> 00:00:12.859 Walgreens. You're out of your shaving cream, 00:00:13.060 --> 00:00:17.019 your body wash, your deodorant. You're just trying 00:00:17.019 --> 00:00:21.800 to get in and out. But all of a sudden. You hear 00:00:21.800 --> 00:00:25.600 the unmistakable opening notes of Tina Turner's 00:00:25.600 --> 00:00:29.920 1993 hit, I Don't Want to Fight. And it dawns 00:00:29.920 --> 00:00:31.640 on you that you actually remember these lyrics. 00:00:33.109 --> 00:00:37.670 Do you start silently singing along almost in 00:00:37.670 --> 00:00:40.630 a whisper? Do you sing along in your head or 00:00:40.630 --> 00:00:46.649 are you fully animated and feeling it? Uh, I'm 00:00:46.649 --> 00:00:48.729 going to go with option D. I will whistle. I'm 00:00:48.729 --> 00:00:53.469 a big whistle along, you know? Um, so yeah, I 00:00:53.469 --> 00:00:56.509 hate to immediately throw fire you off your game. 00:00:56.509 --> 00:00:58.530 The multiple choice, but yeah, I would probably 00:00:58.530 --> 00:01:01.490 whistle. I'm a big fan of home minutes or home 00:01:01.490 --> 00:01:04.599 along, but It's more of a whistle thing. I've 00:01:04.599 --> 00:01:06.939 noticed that a lot with my job now where I'm 00:01:06.939 --> 00:01:09.340 in grocery stores that have basically, I guess 00:01:09.340 --> 00:01:11.500 because of rights issues, they can't play more 00:01:11.500 --> 00:01:16.560 than like 12 songs. So publics, man, their soundtrack 00:01:16.560 --> 00:01:19.060 is a little rough, but I've heard all those songs 00:01:19.060 --> 00:01:20.659 way too many times. But yeah, as soon as they 00:01:20.659 --> 00:01:23.159 come on, I guess keep them going crazy. I'll 00:01:23.159 --> 00:01:26.719 just kind of whistle along to them. Songs like 00:01:26.719 --> 00:01:37.859 Sting's Fields of Gold. Duran Duran Come undone 00:01:37.859 --> 00:01:41.299 Duran Duran how many the ordinary world Duran 00:01:41.299 --> 00:01:44.719 Duran big year 1993 How many of these songs when 00:01:44.719 --> 00:01:47.739 they come on does it remind you of? Being shuttled 00:01:47.739 --> 00:01:51.260 around as a 13 14 year old to somebody's house 00:01:51.260 --> 00:01:54.659 or practice And that's what your mom or your 00:01:54.659 --> 00:01:56.420 dad's I don't know if your dad was playing that 00:01:56.420 --> 00:02:00.400 but my mom was certainly playing the adult contemporary 00:02:00.400 --> 00:02:05.400 radio station or or the rock station but really 00:02:05.400 --> 00:02:10.340 folks this episode is number 93 of the day and 00:02:10.340 --> 00:02:13.479 time podcast and you guessed it none other than 00:02:13.479 --> 00:02:17.960 jim powell is back and since it's episode 93 00:02:17.960 --> 00:02:23.520 we're gonna talk a little 1993 and more centered 00:02:23.520 --> 00:02:28.009 around the box office hits or maybe some obscure 00:02:28.009 --> 00:02:31.349 releases from that year. But how can you not 00:02:31.349 --> 00:02:34.930 love some of these songs, whether it's rock, 00:02:35.150 --> 00:02:40.289 R &B, soft rock, adult contemporary, or hot ACs, 00:02:40.289 --> 00:02:42.830 they used to call it.

All right. 00:04:02.710 --> 00:04:06.569 Perfect. Jim, I may have asked some version of 00:04:06.569 --> 00:04:09.330 this in the past, but let's just say that you're 00:04:09.330 --> 00:04:12.409 hitting one of those blind spots at tractor supply 00:04:12.409 --> 00:04:16.310 or Lowe's or Publix. You're about to intersect 00:04:16.310 --> 00:04:19.589 with some other shopper in their cart. Are you 00:04:19.589 --> 00:04:23.689 doing the Whoops, excuse me. I'm gonna pump the 00:04:23.689 --> 00:04:28.389 brakes or are you saying hey? It's I'm in the 00:04:28.389 --> 00:04:32.689 right away You yield to me buddy. I'm not stopping 00:04:32.689 --> 00:04:36.110 Do you take that approach really any direction 00:04:36.110 --> 00:04:39.089 you're going or do you try to slow down be courteous? 00:04:39.649 --> 00:04:42.350 Well, I mean we've all had the awkwardness of 00:04:42.350 --> 00:04:46.500 both people trying to do You know go around each 00:04:46.500 --> 00:04:48.680 other at the same time So I think I'm probably 00:04:48.680 --> 00:04:50.779 more of us pause and let the other person make 00:04:50.779 --> 00:04:54.000 the decision and let them go ahead Because if 00:04:54.000 --> 00:04:56.319 you both, you know go full gas and the brakes 00:04:56.319 --> 00:04:59.019 you're gonna do the old the time -honored tradition 00:04:59.019 --> 00:05:02.360 of the both of you choose the same way and it's 00:05:02.360 --> 00:05:05.680 oh Sorry, you know, oh, yeah, sorry. Oh, excuse 00:05:05.680 --> 00:05:10.819 me for sure Yeah, I like I like I like I appreciate 00:05:10.819 --> 00:05:14.069 it condensed super condensed into like I guess 00:05:14.069 --> 00:05:17.569 you could say two syllables. Pre -shay. Pre -shay. 00:05:17.709 --> 00:05:21.629 Pre -shay. Yeah. Yeah. Pre -shay. Yeah. Absolutely. 00:05:22.129 --> 00:05:25.889 So I say a lot of pre -shay and oh, you know, 00:05:26.149 --> 00:05:28.829 a big one is sorry. Oh, you're fine. You know, 00:05:29.110 --> 00:05:33.629 you're fine. Yeah. A lot of your fines to sorrys 00:05:33.629 --> 00:05:35.589 because you know, when somebody says sorry, um, 00:05:35.610 --> 00:05:38.069 what are you supposed to say? We're not, we don't 00:05:38.069 --> 00:05:39.930 know each other and this isn't the end of a, 00:05:40.029 --> 00:05:42.910 you know, you didn't. Scratch my car getting 00:05:42.910 --> 00:05:45.730 out or something. We'll just go in the same direction 00:05:45.730 --> 00:05:48.170 with our shopping carts and then you say sorry 00:05:48.170 --> 00:05:54.970 What's your response to sorry? You're good Jim 00:05:54.970 --> 00:05:57.329 I had a moment you can say yes, you are and they 00:05:57.329 --> 00:06:02.029 don't want that very much. Yeah, sorry I Had 00:06:02.029 --> 00:06:07.389 a moment at the the Little League Park Long long 00:06:07.389 --> 00:06:10.189 straight away. No, everybody knows that everybody's 00:06:10.189 --> 00:06:14.180 coming And I think it was opening ceremonies, 00:06:14.420 --> 00:06:17.759 opening day, and you're walking down a long sidewalk, 00:06:18.160 --> 00:06:19.860 but there's a couple of food trucks out there. 00:06:19.939 --> 00:06:22.620 There's a Kona Ice and a coffee thing, and maybe 00:06:22.620 --> 00:06:27.060 a hot dog hamburger truck. And I'm walking along, 00:06:27.139 --> 00:06:29.800 I'm trying to get to the field in the back, and 00:06:29.800 --> 00:06:33.300 I've got Wyatt and Vivian. And there's like two 00:06:33.300 --> 00:06:38.000 lines that are blocking the straightaway path 00:06:38.000 --> 00:06:41.189 because these people are waiting on coffee. They 00:06:41.189 --> 00:06:42.629 don't really want to move around. But as from 00:06:42.629 --> 00:06:44.610 getting closer, you just think that they'll, 00:06:44.610 --> 00:06:46.629 they'll see to maybe a foot or two, they'll just 00:06:46.629 --> 00:06:49.750 kind of move up or move back. And none of these 00:06:49.750 --> 00:06:52.649 people moved at all. So it's totally incumbent 00:06:52.649 --> 00:06:56.410 on you to maneuver around them and find little 00:06:56.410 --> 00:07:00.470 gaps. And I had a moment where I'm not, I'm not 00:07:00.470 --> 00:07:05.709 afraid to do this and no shame, no apology. Uh, 00:07:05.709 --> 00:07:09.670 I'll just put on, get into full on sarcasm and 00:07:09.670 --> 00:07:12.220 say, Hey, thanks. Thanks, appreciate it. Thanks. 00:07:12.699 --> 00:07:15.100 They're not budging at all, but you're thanking 00:07:15.100 --> 00:07:21.959 the absence of courtesy. I think sometimes there's 00:07:21.959 --> 00:07:25.100 like a paralysis that grips people in those moments. 00:07:25.279 --> 00:07:27.680 They're like, well, I don't want to lose my spot 00:07:27.680 --> 00:07:31.439 in line or create some ambiguity about my space 00:07:31.439 --> 00:07:36.639 here. So I'm just going to not do anything. Yeah. 00:07:36.800 --> 00:07:39.019 Yeah, that's what it is a hundred percent. Everybody's 00:07:39.019 --> 00:07:41.199 just terrified that it's they're gonna be that 00:07:41.199 --> 00:07:44.720 dumb. You know, let's just person You know, it's 00:07:44.720 --> 00:07:46.319 obvious they're trying to walk through the line. 00:07:46.319 --> 00:07:48.860 Has anybody ever just walk in and just stop? 00:07:49.920 --> 00:07:53.379 No, nobody does that So give them a little room 00:07:53.379 --> 00:07:56.480 to walk by nobody's trying to cut the line But 00:07:56.480 --> 00:07:59.759 my wife is the all -timer for that She it nothing 00:07:59.759 --> 00:08:01.639 makes her more angry though when somebody tries 00:08:01.639 --> 00:08:04.439 to cut in line because it's not fair Everything's 00:08:04.439 --> 00:08:07.860 gotta be fair for her Yeah, so yeah, she's the 00:08:07.860 --> 00:08:09.600 one who she would be one of the ones who does 00:08:09.600 --> 00:08:11.519 not move an inch So you can just walk through 00:08:11.519 --> 00:08:14.379 with your two young children on the way to the 00:08:14.379 --> 00:08:18.079 fields Yeah, people can be inconsiderate like 00:08:18.079 --> 00:08:21.920 that but that being said I don't You know, I 00:08:21.920 --> 00:08:24.620 don't continue to stew about it. I don't allow 00:08:24.620 --> 00:08:27.639 things in traffic to happen and then 30 minutes 00:08:27.639 --> 00:08:31.220 later I'm still fuming and talking to who whoever 00:08:31.220 --> 00:08:34.039 will listen about that guy who pulled out in 00:08:34.039 --> 00:08:36.679 front of me Speaking of that Jim. Let's just 00:08:36.679 --> 00:08:38.919 say that I'm trying to get out of a dollar general 00:08:38.919 --> 00:08:42.379 parking lot It's very close to another intersection. 00:08:42.700 --> 00:08:47.259 So you have that inevitable Situation where you're 00:08:47.259 --> 00:08:51.480 traveling east or west on a major highway You're 00:08:51.480 --> 00:08:53.639 getting up to a red light. There's about five 00:08:53.639 --> 00:08:55.919 cars in front of you and up There's that guy 00:08:55.919 --> 00:08:58.259 that's trying to pull out and you're gonna have 00:08:58.259 --> 00:09:02.519 to be the one to stop and wave him on in or you 00:09:02.519 --> 00:09:07.610 could not do that because Honestly, I think it's 00:09:07.610 --> 00:09:09.009 good. I think we've got a little carried away 00:09:09.009 --> 00:09:12.909 with letting everybody in every time Sometimes 00:09:12.909 --> 00:09:16.129 it's not good for the flow of traffic. So sometimes 00:09:16.129 --> 00:09:20.370 I'm the bad guy and I don't I don't let him in 00:09:20.370 --> 00:09:23.370 Even really when you're in that When you're kind 00:09:23.370 --> 00:09:25.590 of making a tea, they're trying to get in get 00:09:25.590 --> 00:09:29.509 in and you're that that guy And are you the guy 00:09:29.509 --> 00:09:32.450 that physically blocks his his or her entrance 00:09:32.450 --> 00:09:34.450 or do you just think oh the guy about the next 00:09:34.450 --> 00:09:37.149 person? Behind me that won't give them room to 00:09:37.149 --> 00:09:39.809 let him in are you gonna be you're the T You're 00:09:39.809 --> 00:09:41.769 the top of the T's what you're saying you block 00:09:41.769 --> 00:09:45.149 them from getting in. Yes. My judgment is based 00:09:45.149 --> 00:09:50.330 on the traffic flow Behind me. So if there's 00:09:50.330 --> 00:09:53.149 if it's wide open behind me, I'm not stopping 00:09:53.149 --> 00:09:55.429 if there's two cars behind me I'm not stopping 00:09:55.429 --> 00:09:58.009 if there's a lot if there is a long line behind 00:09:58.009 --> 00:10:03.110 me Now I'm I'm accommodating absolutely good 00:10:03.110 --> 00:10:05.720 you know you go And then you wave them and they 00:10:05.720 --> 00:10:08.539 still hesitate and you have to kind of say, no, 00:10:08.580 --> 00:10:12.919 I mean it. Yeah. And you wave again. Yeah. I 00:10:12.919 --> 00:10:16.240 love that at the four way stops. We may have 00:10:16.240 --> 00:10:19.000 talked about this before, where someone's clearly 00:10:19.000 --> 00:10:23.179 reached that stop sign three seconds before your 00:10:23.179 --> 00:10:24.879 wheels have stopped and they're just waiting. 00:10:25.039 --> 00:10:27.200 They're not sure. Not sure if you're going to 00:10:27.200 --> 00:10:32.070 go. So, and then you still have to. Like I'll 00:10:32.070 --> 00:10:33.870 kind of look at if it's like the broad daylight. 00:10:33.870 --> 00:10:39.870 I'm say you got it Okay, get way off course here 00:10:39.870 --> 00:10:42.309 No, no more traffic. It was at the end of traffic 00:10:42.309 --> 00:10:51.970 talk already. Are you? Man Jim how about a you 00:10:51.970 --> 00:10:54.070 got a garbage time question that you want to 00:10:54.070 --> 00:10:58.490 pop out for for me or You want to move on to 00:10:58.490 --> 00:11:29.659 the the meat of the episode? and a Well, we have 00:11:29.659 --> 00:11:32.820 like seven dollar generals within 15 minutes 00:11:32.820 --> 00:11:39.159 of our house Now the early episodes when I would 00:11:39.159 --> 00:11:44.320 just really rag on them I Got to say my experience 00:11:44.320 --> 00:11:47.899 here locally has been very favorable. I love 00:11:47.899 --> 00:11:50.659 the staff I've really always loved the staff 00:11:50.659 --> 00:11:54.039 at most dollar generals So I've had some great 00:11:54.039 --> 00:11:56.879 experiences.

So anybody out there, you 00:12:30.779 --> 00:12:32.919 know, if you're a dollar general or a dollar 00:12:32.919 --> 00:12:36.600 general or a dollar tree or a family dollar or 00:12:36.600 --> 00:12:38.539 anything that has a dollar in the name, Dan would 00:12:38.539 --> 00:12:41.320 happily take some money from you to talk about 00:12:41.320 --> 00:12:44.539 how great you are with his kids. So Dan, this 00:12:44.539 --> 00:12:47.759 is my garbage time question for you. Do you as 00:12:47.759 --> 00:12:50.460 an adult, a grown man, it's hard for me to believe 00:12:50.460 --> 00:12:53.019 with us too that We actually have children and 00:12:53.019 --> 00:12:56.320 our children ourselves when you go into an establishment 00:12:56.320 --> 00:13:00.360 with say a 15 year old boy behind the counter 00:13:00.360 --> 00:13:03.679 and you walk up to the counter and you know standard 00:13:03.679 --> 00:13:07.000 operating procedure in the business world and 00:13:07.000 --> 00:13:10.379 in life is To give some kind of acknowledgement 00:13:10.379 --> 00:13:12.539 to the person who's just come into your establishment 00:13:12.539 --> 00:13:16.100 But this person behind the counter doesn't say 00:13:16.100 --> 00:13:18.980 anything nothing. They just stare at you blankly 00:13:19.230 --> 00:13:23.570 Do you this go on with your order without acknowledging 00:13:23.570 --> 00:13:26.769 them? Or do you say how are you and see if you 00:13:26.769 --> 00:13:31.830 get a response back? I Used to try to engage 00:13:31.830 --> 00:13:36.590 but now it's I Wouldn't say it's a battle of 00:13:36.590 --> 00:13:39.269 wits, but it's kind of like oh, okay. We're we're 00:13:39.269 --> 00:13:43.409 not going to I mean You don't have to say anything 00:13:43.409 --> 00:13:47.230 more than hey, how's it going or or? Say nothing, 00:13:47.350 --> 00:13:50.929 but make eye contact We're fine. Just wait for 00:13:50.929 --> 00:13:55.289 them man. I've had these experiences where There's 00:13:55.289 --> 00:14:00.470 no verbal communication and there's also No eye 00:14:00.470 --> 00:14:03.850 contact During the entire transaction which may 00:14:03.850 --> 00:14:05.909 be like two or three items You know your shampoo 00:14:05.909 --> 00:14:08.789 or your dog food or whatever and it's like they 00:14:08.789 --> 00:14:12.250 don't even look at you Wouldn't say it's the 00:14:12.250 --> 00:14:14.490 norm. It doesn't happen everywhere. But yes, 00:14:14.490 --> 00:14:18.230 there are and I'm not I'm not picking on this 00:14:18.230 --> 00:14:21.330 generation Cause I think that they've just had 00:14:21.330 --> 00:14:26.470 a different experience that we've had. Uh, but 00:14:26.470 --> 00:14:28.389 I used to kind of let it bother me now. I'm just 00:14:28.389 --> 00:14:31.730 like, all right, well, do you, when you walk 00:14:31.730 --> 00:14:34.269 in, do you wait for someone to say something 00:14:34.269 --> 00:14:37.309 before you say hi or do you just, if they don't 00:14:37.309 --> 00:14:38.809 say anything, they just stare at you blindly 00:14:38.809 --> 00:14:41.269 and you just start your order. I usually start 00:14:41.269 --> 00:14:44.529 your checkout. I try to say, Hey, how's it going? 00:14:45.370 --> 00:14:47.629 Well, customer service. I don't, you know, I 00:14:47.629 --> 00:14:50.610 obviously don't. I think any of these people 00:14:50.610 --> 00:14:53.409 are beneath me. I basically work in semi -customer 00:14:53.409 --> 00:14:55.590 service, so I understand. But Ever and I went 00:14:55.590 --> 00:15:01.309 into a unnamed dessert store, and I walk up to 00:15:01.309 --> 00:15:03.389 the counter. The guy just stares at me blankly, 00:15:03.490 --> 00:15:06.570 does not say a word. So I say, hi. And he says, 00:15:07.389 --> 00:15:10.230 hey. And not, what can I get for you or anything? 00:15:10.429 --> 00:15:12.730 I say, how are you today? And he says, good. 00:15:13.809 --> 00:15:19.309 No, we're super cool. Okay, I guess I'll just 00:15:19.309 --> 00:15:21.610 start my order and he just stares at me so I 00:15:21.610 --> 00:15:27.230 say we want this Specialty thing that's on your 00:15:27.230 --> 00:15:30.309 giant LCD monitor right behind your head flashing 00:15:30.309 --> 00:15:32.950 get this today. It's great. It's and he says 00:15:32.950 --> 00:15:42.250 oh, we will have the Okay, and then we order 00:15:42.250 --> 00:15:44.870 something He turns around to make it and flips 00:15:44.870 --> 00:15:46.490 his little screen around. And of course, the 00:15:46.490 --> 00:15:49.570 first thing on there is tip. And so I happily 00:15:49.570 --> 00:15:54.190 reached across and did zero tip. Because yeah, 00:15:54.269 --> 00:15:57.389 I mean, you know, there is a reason why tip is 00:15:57.389 --> 00:15:59.889 for above and beyond. It's for exceptional service. 00:15:59.970 --> 00:16:03.649 Unless you're, you know, an actual server in 00:16:03.649 --> 00:16:06.250 a restaurant and you make only tips. This kid 00:16:06.250 --> 00:16:09.309 was making, you know, an hourly wage. So never 00:16:09.309 --> 00:16:12.139 got a big kick out of how I... Basically pirouetted 00:16:12.139 --> 00:16:15.399 and I was very happy to hit notes in there which 00:16:15.399 --> 00:16:18.080 I feel bad about I feel bad as somebody who used 00:16:18.080 --> 00:16:20.179 to live off of this But I feel like I was also 00:16:20.179 --> 00:16:23.440 much more engaging and knew that you know I had 00:16:23.440 --> 00:16:26.360 to be somewhat personable to To get and give 00:16:26.360 --> 00:16:29.799 good service to get a good tip a hundred percent. 00:16:30.539 --> 00:16:34.220 I Don't you know again it comes back to Then 00:16:34.220 --> 00:16:36.100 I don't know if this is the case. Some people 00:16:36.100 --> 00:16:39.519 are just They just don't have they never were 00:16:39.519 --> 00:16:43.669 going to have Advanced social skills, but you 00:16:43.669 --> 00:16:47.549 know Jim you and I worse talking about 1993 today. 00:16:47.850 --> 00:16:53.190 We we had a long period of our I Mean all of 00:16:53.190 --> 00:16:56.669 our childhood adolescence early all of our 20s 00:16:56.669 --> 00:17:01.129 essentially where you and we've worked in the 00:17:01.129 --> 00:17:04.950 service industry and So you have to have conversation 00:17:04.950 --> 00:17:07.930 multiple conversations throughout the day every 00:17:07.930 --> 00:17:12.720 day we're going to UAB or whatever we're doing 00:17:12.720 --> 00:17:17.380 you got to engage and interact and I The people 00:17:17.380 --> 00:17:22.279 I feel bad for are maybe naturally outgoing Gen 00:17:22.279 --> 00:17:28.599 Z people who They're ready to engage with their 00:17:28.599 --> 00:17:31.500 friends or they really want to have a philosophical 00:17:31.500 --> 00:17:33.700 discussion or talk about something at length 00:17:33.700 --> 00:17:36.240 and They look around the room and all their friends 00:17:36.240 --> 00:17:40.289 are just you know In their phones. Yeah, and 00:17:40.289 --> 00:17:43.930 then they don't They don't have it at the at 00:17:43.930 --> 00:17:46.450 the ready like we did and we I think we just 00:17:46.450 --> 00:17:52.069 had to be more expressive People talk about all 00:17:52.069 --> 00:17:55.190 the money that they wasted in bars In their early 00:17:55.190 --> 00:17:57.690 20s. Oh, man. I should have invested in this 00:17:57.690 --> 00:18:01.269 company right after the crash in 08 I kind of 00:18:01.269 --> 00:18:04.009 look at it like maybe some of that experience 00:18:04.009 --> 00:18:06.849 was worthwhile. I don't want to my kids to have 00:18:06.890 --> 00:18:10.569 the exact experience. Not that I was doing anything 00:18:10.569 --> 00:18:14.150 really illicit, but we were just talking all 00:18:14.150 --> 00:18:18.369 the time with people and then working at Mellow 00:18:18.369 --> 00:18:21.549 Mushroom. It would kind of feel out of place 00:18:21.549 --> 00:18:26.190 if you were to approach a table on a Friday or 00:18:26.190 --> 00:18:30.470 Saturday night that came to this boutique pizza 00:18:30.470 --> 00:18:33.690 restaurant and not be kind of cheerful, energetic 00:18:33.690 --> 00:18:38.740 or try to. Just walk up and stare at them. I 00:18:38.740 --> 00:18:42.460 Just don't know if like if some people I just 00:18:42.460 --> 00:18:44.299 feel like some of these kids I do feel bad for 00:18:44.299 --> 00:18:47.640 the ones like I said that Could have had a different 00:18:47.640 --> 00:18:50.019 experience if they grew up when we did that they're 00:18:50.019 --> 00:18:53.400 just like bored with everyday life Because everything 00:18:53.400 --> 00:18:58.579 is so I was listening to yes. Yeah, I was listening 00:18:58.579 --> 00:19:02.640 to a podcast last week and talking about the 00:19:02.640 --> 00:19:07.000 lack of friction between What you want and how 00:19:07.000 --> 00:19:09.000 you can get it when you can get it and all this 00:19:09.000 --> 00:19:11.619 friction has gone away It's like the tap of a 00:19:11.619 --> 00:19:14.440 finger and you've got what you want So that's 00:19:14.440 --> 00:19:19.299 like Anyway, yeah, so I experienced that Sometimes 00:19:19.299 --> 00:19:22.039 I get a little miffed about it. And sometimes 00:19:22.039 --> 00:19:27.019 I'm like, hmm, that's just too bad that They 00:19:27.019 --> 00:19:30.119 haven't been able to. If that guy at the dessert 00:19:30.119 --> 00:19:33.420 place had grown up in 93, he'd probably be a 00:19:33.420 --> 00:19:35.460 lot more better adjusted if he had seen some 00:19:35.460 --> 00:19:36.980 of his movies with me and talked about today. 00:19:37.079 --> 00:19:43.519 Yes. How's that for a segue? I love it. 1993, 00:19:43.920 --> 00:19:46.940 Jim, this was, I'm still a couple years away 00:19:46.940 --> 00:19:49.259 from driving. So when I go to the movie theater, 00:19:49.400 --> 00:19:52.839 my mom probably dropped me off there. in fact, 00:19:52.859 --> 00:19:55.059 I know she did I mean maybe my dad sometimes 00:19:55.059 --> 00:20:00.220 actually my dad would take us to movies and It 00:20:00.220 --> 00:20:03.799 was so much fun.

Absolutely. 00:20:14.140 --> 00:20:16.640 Yeah, I was telling you we saw the Minecraft 00:20:16.640 --> 00:20:20.299 movie yesterday and got ever ever really addicted 00:20:20.299 --> 00:20:24.160 to the you know the slushies or frosties or whatever 00:20:24.160 --> 00:20:25.759 they didn't really have those back then but so 00:20:25.759 --> 00:20:30.000 i still i get my uh large cherry coke and and 00:20:30.000 --> 00:20:31.920 large popcorn and slather that stuff down with 00:20:31.920 --> 00:20:34.059 butter i've never been a big candy at a movie 00:20:34.059 --> 00:20:39.059 theater guy um just i do like it but i my main 00:20:39.059 --> 00:20:41.859 thing when i'm going to see a movie is you know 00:20:41.859 --> 00:20:45.900 a bucket of popcorn the size of a vw beetle and 00:20:45.900 --> 00:20:51.170 uh a gallon of cherry coke Yeah, I don't know 00:20:51.170 --> 00:20:53.190 I'm saying that like candy's on how to be that 00:20:53.190 --> 00:20:55.430 candy's unhealthy if I'm eating crap like that 00:20:55.430 --> 00:20:59.230 Oh, I mean, that's usually popcorn and coke So 00:20:59.230 --> 00:21:02.609 I'm the opposite.

I probably would eat it if somebody offered 00:21:44.589 --> 00:21:50.009 but um twizzlers is Number one number one. Okay 00:21:50.009 --> 00:21:53.049 twizzlers. That's disgusting Dan, but we can't 00:21:53.049 --> 00:21:57.029 all share all the same loves or we do some potica. 00:21:57.029 --> 00:22:00.430 I can't think you like to eat plastic cherry 00:22:00.430 --> 00:22:04.170 flavored plastic straws, but But I do like you 00:22:04.170 --> 00:22:07.390 Yeah, but you know, I like going to the movies 00:22:07.390 --> 00:22:09.349 you still have all that candy, but you usually 00:22:09.349 --> 00:22:12.450 now the the soda varieties It's kind of like 00:22:12.450 --> 00:22:15.519 if you go to Certain restaurants. I think firehouse 00:22:15.519 --> 00:22:18.900 subs and Wendy's few other places have those 00:22:18.900 --> 00:22:21.740 a couple dozen options that you tap around and 00:22:21.740 --> 00:22:26.079 Yeah, find the flavor that you want It's like 00:22:26.079 --> 00:22:29.720 a it's like ink cartridges basically for coats 00:22:29.720 --> 00:22:34.500 Exactly. All right, Jim. Let's get into the the 00:22:34.500 --> 00:22:39.099 heart of the discussion here Do it We may not 00:22:39.099 --> 00:22:41.460 have time for a top ten, but I think we can touch 00:22:41.460 --> 00:22:44.440 on a lot of these movies If you had a narrow 00:22:44.440 --> 00:22:49.059 narrow your choices of box office hits and you 00:22:49.059 --> 00:22:52.839 feel free to throw in a wild card, but favorite 00:22:52.839 --> 00:22:58.559 movies from 93, starting with number five. Okay. 00:22:58.720 --> 00:23:02.579 Number five. Sorry. Can you turn that down ever? 00:23:02.779 --> 00:23:05.380 Yeah. Sorry, Danimal. Hopefully you can cut that 00:23:05.380 --> 00:23:08.039 out or leave it in. That's the life we live. 00:23:09.420 --> 00:23:12.759 Um, right. Number five for me it would be one 00:23:12.759 --> 00:23:15.339 that did not rake in the top ten of the box office 00:23:15.339 --> 00:23:17.920 for that year But it's probably definitely my 00:23:17.920 --> 00:23:20.640 rinse repeat movie of all time and that's Groundhog 00:23:20.640 --> 00:23:25.220 Day Bill Murray yeah, that was the that sucker 00:23:25.220 --> 00:23:28.980 you think about And it's just such a cult classic 00:23:28.980 --> 00:23:31.099 now But it didn't make any it didn't make enough 00:23:31.099 --> 00:23:33.039 money to make the top ten of the box office that 00:23:33.039 --> 00:23:37.079 year so just fantastic movie bill bill Murray 00:23:37.079 --> 00:23:40.079 place Gosh, I can't remember his name, but I 00:23:40.079 --> 00:23:43.579 know Stephen Kowalski's Ned Ryerson Love that 00:23:43.579 --> 00:23:46.599 part. Phil Connors was his name in that movie. 00:23:47.700 --> 00:23:50.420 Yep So some of those, you know, if a movie is 00:23:50.420 --> 00:23:52.819 quotable or I still use the quotes for a movie 00:23:52.819 --> 00:23:56.099 in my day -to -day life It's definitely a classic 00:23:56.099 --> 00:23:59.319 for me. So Groundhog Day would be number five 00:23:59.319 --> 00:24:03.039 for me there Man really hard to argue with that 00:24:03.039 --> 00:24:06.039 one. That's a movie that if it you know people 00:24:06.089 --> 00:24:08.809 Say, if it comes on TV and I'm just channel surfing, 00:24:08.950 --> 00:24:12.049 I'll watch it. I would love to be honest about 00:24:12.049 --> 00:24:14.710 that. I don't really stop and watch the rest 00:24:14.710 --> 00:24:17.289 of the movie. If I say, oh, Groundhog Day is 00:24:17.289 --> 00:24:20.730 on, but it's in theory one that I would like 00:24:20.730 --> 00:24:24.990 to do that. Yeah. And you especially wake up 00:24:24.990 --> 00:24:26.970 every day, you know, it's the same exact day 00:24:26.970 --> 00:24:29.430 over again and you get to watch it again. You 00:24:29.430 --> 00:24:34.670 just like the movie. This is one of those that 00:24:34.670 --> 00:24:39.009 was like, you know TBS TNT in the late 90s You 00:24:39.009 --> 00:24:42.029 know that felt like golly every day your chamber 00:24:42.029 --> 00:24:44.309 surfing, you know before you could just choose 00:24:44.309 --> 00:24:46.670 what you wanted to watch It was one of those 00:24:46.670 --> 00:24:49.730 that would pop up and I did Put it on even if 00:24:49.730 --> 00:24:51.450 you weren't really watching it watching it was 00:24:51.450 --> 00:24:54.470 nice that long in the back room Well, Jim, I'm 00:24:54.470 --> 00:24:58.410 gonna go And I've got some movies here that are 00:24:58.410 --> 00:25:01.960 actually it's April 6th When this episode is 00:25:01.960 --> 00:25:05.559 released There's some very notable movies released 00:25:05.559 --> 00:25:09.359 April 7th 93, but I'm gonna I'm gonna factor 00:25:09.359 --> 00:25:13.480 in the entire year I'll say my number five for 00:25:13.480 --> 00:25:18.000 some obvious reasons here is rookie of the year 00:25:18.000 --> 00:25:22.700 And I like I might have to flood the zone with 00:25:22.700 --> 00:25:26.079 baseball movies If you're familiar with another 00:25:26.079 --> 00:25:28.119 huge movie that was released that year, but I'll 00:25:28.119 --> 00:25:34.039 get to it in a minute Pretty pretty wacky baseball 00:25:34.039 --> 00:25:37.940 movie the best baseball movie a Little spoiler 00:25:37.940 --> 00:25:41.039 there. Yeah, go ahead about the year I'm sure 00:25:41.039 --> 00:25:43.619 we're talking about the same movie rookie of 00:25:43.619 --> 00:25:48.299 the year. This is 1993 probably not probably 00:25:48.299 --> 00:25:52.559 definitely the The peak or it I mean this is 00:25:52.559 --> 00:25:57.240 on a sharp incline of the Cubs fandom years now 00:25:57.240 --> 00:26:00.230 wish it had coincided with Just a division title, 00:26:00.230 --> 00:26:03.750 but it didn't. It was, it was going to get worse 00:26:03.750 --> 00:26:07.210 before it got better, but 1993 watched a lot 00:26:07.210 --> 00:26:10.569 of Cubs games. Steve Stone, Harry Carey. This 00:26:10.569 --> 00:26:13.529 is when you're just, you know, you're living 00:26:13.529 --> 00:26:16.910 and dying. Yeah. Baseball was everything for 00:26:16.910 --> 00:26:20.750 us in, you know, 88 to 93, 94. I mean, it was 00:26:20.750 --> 00:26:22.589 baseball is everything in this country. I think 00:26:22.589 --> 00:26:25.720 we've talked about that in the past. It's evident 00:26:25.720 --> 00:26:27.660 by just the amount of baseball movies that have 00:26:27.660 --> 00:26:29.660 come out and that's people say it's easier to 00:26:29.660 --> 00:26:33.259 make a baseball movie Then say football or basketball 00:26:33.259 --> 00:26:36.180 just because the stories you can tell and but 00:26:36.180 --> 00:26:39.680 yeah rookie of the year Being a Cubs fan great 00:26:39.680 --> 00:26:43.240 things just wacky. I mean Daniels Daniels turn 00:26:43.240 --> 00:26:46.900 is awesome. So yeah, it's great movie It's a 00:26:46.900 --> 00:26:51.259 ridiculous plot But I think Gary Busey's involvement 00:26:51.259 --> 00:26:58.130 in this movie Basically, huh? Doesn't Daniel 00:26:58.130 --> 00:27:01.369 Stern get locked in a closet for a day or so? 00:27:01.769 --> 00:27:04.069 Yeah, he's over stuffing his mouth with sunflower 00:27:04.069 --> 00:27:06.990 seeds. Usually spray it, but I think Daniel Stern 00:27:06.990 --> 00:27:10.609 makes the movie for me. And his mom's boyfriend 00:27:10.609 --> 00:27:18.089 tries to tries to sell his contract. Yep. That's 00:27:18.089 --> 00:27:21.210 one of the mom. You know who the mom is, I think. 00:27:21.549 --> 00:27:25.150 The mom and rookie of the year is Pete Crow Armstrong, 00:27:25.609 --> 00:27:27.029 the current center fielder for the Cubs. Oh, 00:27:27.029 --> 00:27:29.549 that's right. His mom. That's right. Mm -hmm. 00:27:29.869 --> 00:27:33.250 Yeah, so it's pretty awesome that Pete Crow Armstrong 00:27:33.250 --> 00:27:36.470 ended up a Cub and his mom was the mother of 00:27:36.470 --> 00:27:39.970 a Chicago Cub and rookie of the year. Yeah, you've 00:27:39.970 --> 00:27:45.529 got Thomasine Nicholas, Gary Busey, Amy Morton. 00:27:45.910 --> 00:27:49.920 So I just, one of those movies that you... 1993. 00:27:49.920 --> 00:27:52.019 I don't think a movie like this would be written 00:27:52.019 --> 00:27:56.519 for today's audiences, but, uh, would actually 00:27:56.519 --> 00:27:59.619 like to try this out with one of my kids, maybe 00:27:59.619 --> 00:28:02.519 next year, see if they're into it. Oh yeah. I 00:28:02.519 --> 00:28:06.960 bet Warren would love it. 41 % rating on Rotten 00:28:06.960 --> 00:28:11.420 Tomatoes, six, about a six out of 10 on IMDb. 00:28:11.819 --> 00:28:14.099 Just garbage. Don't, don't trust the ratings 00:28:14.099 --> 00:28:17.359 people. Rookie of the year's five and five stars 00:28:17.359 --> 00:28:20.619 and 10 out of 10. All right, who you got at number 00:28:20.619 --> 00:28:25.660 four, Jim? Number four, I'm going to go with 00:28:25.660 --> 00:28:30.000 Dazed and Confused. Again, a lot of minor do 00:28:30.000 --> 00:28:33.500 not fit into the top 10 box office, but they 00:28:33.500 --> 00:28:36.819 just stick with me and were a big part of my 00:28:36.819 --> 00:28:39.299 adolescence and especially my, you know, my mid 00:28:39.299 --> 00:28:41.700 -teens. I didn't see Dazed and Confused in the 00:28:41.700 --> 00:28:45.859 theater, but I watched it like... a million times, 00:28:45.880 --> 00:28:49.819 you know, when we were juniors and seniors in 00:28:49.819 --> 00:28:51.819 high school. So a few years after the theatrical 00:28:51.819 --> 00:28:55.359 release. But golly, that soundtrack was just 00:28:55.359 --> 00:28:59.240 a banger. And all the actors that were in it 00:28:59.240 --> 00:29:02.400 and who come out of it. And again, the quotability 00:29:02.400 --> 00:29:06.359 and party at the Moon Tower and the whole lot 00:29:06.359 --> 00:29:08.839 cooler. I get older and they stayed the same 00:29:08.839 --> 00:29:12.859 age. I mean, you know, McConaughey, Ben Affleck. 00:29:13.130 --> 00:29:15.529 the kid who touches his nose a thousand times 00:29:15.529 --> 00:29:20.430 in that one scene. And I mean, you know, just 00:29:20.430 --> 00:29:24.849 as a great, even though it was set in the 70s, 00:29:24.950 --> 00:29:27.829 it's still, and I'm sure schools today still 00:29:27.829 --> 00:29:30.769 have clicks. And you know, it just felt so familiar 00:29:30.769 --> 00:29:35.750 to me at that age, you know. We weren't the jocks, 00:29:35.769 --> 00:29:39.430 but we also weren't the nerds or the geeks. And 00:29:39.430 --> 00:29:42.019 you know, just kind of the... The other kids 00:29:42.019 --> 00:29:45.420 on the fringe who likes a party. So yeah dazing 00:29:45.420 --> 00:29:48.880 confused For sure will be my number four just 00:29:48.880 --> 00:29:50.839 because of its rewatchability and it's just a 00:29:50.839 --> 00:29:54.400 great movie to great actors and Script and everything. 00:29:55.039 --> 00:29:56.480 Yeah, I like that movie Like you said, you can 00:29:56.480 --> 00:29:58.960 kind of find a place for everybody and figure 00:29:58.960 --> 00:30:02.960 out where you fit in the mix I honestly don't 00:30:02.960 --> 00:30:05.900 think that they I don't think they had a place 00:30:05.900 --> 00:30:08.460 for For me and what I was putting out there back 00:30:08.460 --> 00:30:11.960 then. I don't know if I even knew Where I should 00:30:11.960 --> 00:30:17.859 be placed it was I was I sometimes you know, 00:30:18.099 --> 00:30:20.759 you just You know you needed to get involved 00:30:20.759 --> 00:30:23.359 in something to maybe light a spark and if you 00:30:23.359 --> 00:30:24.960 didn't do that Well, then hate some of that's 00:30:24.960 --> 00:30:27.400 on you. So looking back, maybe there's some things 00:30:27.400 --> 00:30:29.599 I could have you know club I could have joined 00:30:29.599 --> 00:30:33.440 and and this or that but whatever I just think 00:30:33.440 --> 00:30:36.099 it was it's it's an odd time for a lot of kids 00:30:37.340 --> 00:30:39.759 And anybody listen I don't know if I've got listeners 00:30:39.759 --> 00:30:42.940 who are still in high school, but if you are 00:30:42.940 --> 00:30:47.759 It's not the end -all be -all If you had kind 00:30:47.759 --> 00:30:52.180 of a forgettable experience or a bad experience 00:30:52.180 --> 00:30:56.880 Just wait it gets better it's a big wide world 00:30:56.880 --> 00:31:00.500 out there and But yeah, I love that movie. I 00:31:00.500 --> 00:31:03.660 think that you can see some of your friends and 00:31:05.369 --> 00:31:09.910 I liked how it was a mixed bag. Yeah. I think 00:31:09.910 --> 00:31:12.130 it's Richard Linklater who directed it, who is 00:31:12.130 --> 00:31:15.150 one of my favorite directors and has just done. 00:31:15.289 --> 00:31:17.289 He did another great one. I don't know if you 00:31:17.289 --> 00:31:20.529 saw this about, I think it's a community college 00:31:20.529 --> 00:31:24.410 baseball team in the eighties. It just came out 00:31:24.410 --> 00:31:26.970 a few years ago. I'll have to find the name. 00:31:27.089 --> 00:31:28.549 I'll text it to you. I think you'd really like 00:31:28.549 --> 00:31:31.150 it too, just because it's very similar. It's 00:31:31.150 --> 00:31:33.660 almost like a sequel to Bazing Abuse. none of 00:31:33.660 --> 00:31:35.099 the same characters or anything, but it feels 00:31:35.099 --> 00:31:38.880 really similar in its vibe and you know, because 00:31:38.880 --> 00:31:41.680 it's set in an earlier decade and I don't know. 00:31:41.720 --> 00:31:43.640 It's just a really good, everybody wants some 00:31:43.640 --> 00:31:45.920 is what it's called. Everybody go check that 00:31:45.920 --> 00:31:47.619 out if you haven't seen it before and you're 00:31:47.619 --> 00:31:49.660 like basically confused. So great. And that's 00:31:49.660 --> 00:31:52.039 Glenn Powell who's in everything now. He was 00:31:52.039 --> 00:31:55.039 like his first big role, but it was great. So 00:31:55.039 --> 00:31:58.519 yeah, what's your number four date of all? Jim, 00:31:58.559 --> 00:32:03.890 this is an impossible year to. Pick a top, a 00:32:03.890 --> 00:32:08.690 top five. Oh my gosh. This is nuts. Um, I gotta 00:32:08.690 --> 00:32:10.690 go with mr. Nanny, you know, I'm going to, no, 00:32:10.710 --> 00:32:16.430 I'm just kidding. You've kind of really played 00:32:16.430 --> 00:32:20.869 that up. I wouldn't believe it. All right. Ernest 00:32:20.869 --> 00:32:25.970 rides again. Oh, no. Oh no. Really? Okay. I can't 00:32:25.970 --> 00:32:28.940 do that one. I know that's your guy. I would 00:32:28.940 --> 00:32:31.099 like to do an episode only on Ernest because 00:32:31.099 --> 00:32:34.759 I think he's tragically overlooked, maybe even 00:32:34.759 --> 00:32:38.599 forgotten. It just does not come up very much 00:32:38.599 --> 00:32:43.920 on reels or what, maybe I'm missing it, but Jim 00:32:43.920 --> 00:32:46.839 Varney. He was a, yeah, he was a special place 00:32:46.839 --> 00:32:49.559 in time that just, you know, yeah, once he was, 00:32:49.680 --> 00:32:52.599 once he passed away, there's never been another 00:32:52.599 --> 00:32:54.599 attempt at Ernest, thank goodness. Hopefully 00:32:54.599 --> 00:32:56.799 we don't see a reboot of Ernest anytime soon. 00:32:56.970 --> 00:33:05.349 He was so incredibly talented. I'm going to throw 00:33:05.349 --> 00:33:07.369 this out there, Jim. I don't, I wouldn't say 00:33:07.369 --> 00:33:11.990 I've watched this in 20 years, but this is one 00:33:11.990 --> 00:33:14.289 speaking about my kids. I couldn't, I can't wait 00:33:14.289 --> 00:33:15.849 to watch it with them when they're going to get 00:33:15.849 --> 00:33:17.890 some laughs out of it. I'm going to put Mrs. 00:33:18.089 --> 00:33:22.150 Doubtfire at number four. Great one. Yeah. I 00:33:22.150 --> 00:33:24.930 think this is a role that who are you going to 00:33:24.930 --> 00:33:29.890 see in 2025? That can do What Robin Williams 00:33:29.890 --> 00:33:35.849 did with this role in 1993? Yeah, nobody Just 00:33:35.849 --> 00:33:39.490 a remarkable performance and I'm not even familiar 00:33:39.490 --> 00:33:41.730 right off the top of my head of the accolades 00:33:41.730 --> 00:33:47.150 the awards But mrs. Doubtfire 25 million dollar 00:33:47.150 --> 00:33:51.109 budget. I Think it grossed Maybe this is the 00:33:51.109 --> 00:33:53.410 year to date four hundred and forty one point 00:33:53.410 --> 00:33:57.109 three million And that's the year worldwide gross 00:33:57.109 --> 00:34:01.690 440 something now what I saw And just the ultimate, 00:34:02.089 --> 00:34:04.529 you know, miss doubtfire is yeah, like you said 00:34:04.529 --> 00:34:07.390 Robin Williams performance just a fantastic movie 00:34:07.390 --> 00:34:11.110 for the family and as Miss doubtfire is the all 00:34:11.110 --> 00:34:13.469 -timer for being in the TV that's on mute and 00:34:13.469 --> 00:34:16.429 your doctors or dentist office or DMV or wherever 00:34:16.429 --> 00:34:19.670 there's a TV that's on you Miss doubtfire will 00:34:19.670 --> 00:34:25.449 be on that TV Somewhere Because you can laugh 00:34:25.449 --> 00:34:29.489 at it without even Yeah, you you know it you 00:34:29.489 --> 00:34:32.250 yeah, you don't have to hear anything and just 00:34:32.250 --> 00:34:35.469 man comes at the heartstrings and Spoiler, you 00:34:35.469 --> 00:34:38.550 know, it doesn't have The happiest ending or 00:34:38.550 --> 00:34:40.309 what you would expect, you know, they don't get 00:34:40.309 --> 00:34:43.429 back together, which is kind of a curveball But 00:34:43.429 --> 00:34:45.389 you know Robin Williams is still just a great 00:34:45.389 --> 00:34:48.570 dad and it shows at the time, you know divorce 00:34:48.570 --> 00:34:53.190 wasn't was still kind of a rarity back then are 00:34:53.190 --> 00:34:55.650 more rare than it is nowadays. And so it was 00:34:55.650 --> 00:34:58.510 good to see him be a good dad and, you know, 00:34:58.630 --> 00:35:01.570 stay in his kid's life. And it was a cool move 00:35:01.570 --> 00:35:05.809 by the filmmakers not to put him and Sally Field, 00:35:05.949 --> 00:35:08.389 put him and Sally Field back together. So right. 00:35:08.650 --> 00:35:10.750 It's a good message in a great movie. That's 00:35:10.750 --> 00:35:14.590 a good, good number four. And Robin Williams, 00:35:15.010 --> 00:35:18.050 character's name in that movie, Daniel Hillard. 00:35:19.590 --> 00:35:21.469 There's a real reason that's your number four. 00:35:22.320 --> 00:35:26.539 the freelance voice actor. But again, Jim, coming 00:35:26.539 --> 00:35:33.059 back to the absurd, despite, I mean, quite an 00:35:33.059 --> 00:35:36.320 effort, more than commendable effort to disguise 00:35:36.320 --> 00:35:41.059 himself, how in the world is his wife not deeply 00:35:41.059 --> 00:35:47.039 familiar with the jawline, the eyes, the build? 00:35:47.199 --> 00:35:50.260 I mean, it's just. It just doesn't pass the smell 00:35:50.260 --> 00:35:52.460 test, but it doesn't have to. Some of these movies 00:35:52.460 --> 00:35:57.159 in 93, you're a willing participant and a farce. 00:35:58.460 --> 00:36:00.699 You're like, take me for a ride. I'm going to 00:36:00.699 --> 00:36:04.219 suspend belief and I'm all in. And this is one 00:36:04.219 --> 00:36:06.679 of those movies where it's just a blast to suspend 00:36:06.679 --> 00:36:12.440 belief. It is, absolutely. Yeah. You got to wonder 00:36:12.440 --> 00:36:16.409 what maybe Sally Field needed her. Glasses prescription 00:36:16.409 --> 00:36:17.949 check that you couldn't tell that was having 00:36:17.949 --> 00:36:19.869 news and arrested development. I don't know if 00:36:19.869 --> 00:36:22.929 you're familiar that show they had David Cross 00:36:22.929 --> 00:36:26.090 was on there and They did a great send -up of 00:36:26.090 --> 00:36:27.550 that and exactly what you're saying how dumb 00:36:27.550 --> 00:36:29.670 it was that nobody could notice They had David 00:36:29.670 --> 00:36:32.309 Cross's character try to get back into good graces 00:36:32.309 --> 00:36:35.409 with his wife and kid by the opportunity to be 00:36:35.409 --> 00:36:40.769 Mrs. Featherbottom He couldn't really shave his 00:36:40.769 --> 00:36:43.610 mustache, but just put on cake on makeup and 00:36:43.659 --> 00:36:46.360 totally believed because everybody pretended 00:36:46.360 --> 00:36:48.800 like they didn't that they knew it was him and 00:36:48.800 --> 00:36:50.980 he just totally thought he was fooling everybody 00:36:50.980 --> 00:36:54.179 because he was this amazing actor but It's another 00:36:54.179 --> 00:36:57.159 great one to check out This is feather bottom 00:36:57.159 --> 00:36:58.800 on the rest of the development if you haven't 00:36:58.800 --> 00:37:02.940 seen that one Okay, Jim number three. We're moving 00:37:02.940 --> 00:37:05.699 along at a pretty good clip here Who's your number 00:37:05.699 --> 00:37:09.960 three or what what not who? Well number three 00:37:09.960 --> 00:37:12.840 is not only one off of the top ten films of that 00:37:12.840 --> 00:37:15.579 year And it's the biggest one and it's you know 00:37:15.579 --> 00:37:19.159 still to this day One of the most jaw -dropping 00:37:19.159 --> 00:37:21.400 experiences in a movie theater, and that's Jurassic 00:37:21.400 --> 00:37:25.559 Park the original It's I think you have the grosses 00:37:25.559 --> 00:37:27.940 there But it basically made double what the stout 00:37:27.940 --> 00:37:30.179 fire did which is the second highest grossing 00:37:30.179 --> 00:37:34.579 movie that you're me that just people walk To 00:37:34.579 --> 00:37:36.539 see Jurassic Park and for good reason I mean 00:37:37.220 --> 00:37:39.639 For me like when I watch it still to this day 00:37:39.639 --> 00:37:41.840 on TV. I feel like the it's hard to believe this 00:37:41.840 --> 00:37:47.460 is over 30 over 30 years ago and the the CGI 00:37:47.460 --> 00:37:51.099 dinosaurs and stuff just look amazing still and 00:37:51.099 --> 00:37:53.719 Just you know so awesome with suspense and my 00:37:53.719 --> 00:37:57.739 action and cast is just badass and it's just 00:37:57.739 --> 00:38:02.219 one of those that you know click Big blockbuster 00:38:02.219 --> 00:38:04.699 movies. It's up there for me in my all -time 00:38:04.699 --> 00:38:07.679 top ten blockbuster movies and for sure in the 00:38:07.679 --> 00:38:10.840 year of 1993 would be my number, I guess number 00:38:10.840 --> 00:38:14.780 three choice. So just awesome, awesome movie. 00:38:15.860 --> 00:38:18.039 I remember seeing that. I think that's one that 00:38:18.039 --> 00:38:20.760 maybe my mom took us to see and watched it with 00:38:20.760 --> 00:38:25.119 us. And at the time you really had not been presented 00:38:25.119 --> 00:38:27.960 with something like that as a kid in a movie 00:38:27.960 --> 00:38:34.960 theater. It was so realistic as much as small 00:38:34.960 --> 00:38:38.619 children love dinosaurs. It was probably terrifying. 00:38:39.460 --> 00:38:42.920 Yeah, but just rad, you know, when you're 14, 00:38:43.119 --> 00:38:45.139 you grew, you know, it's a little different. 00:38:45.300 --> 00:38:46.719 Yeah, probably eight year olds and something 00:38:46.719 --> 00:38:48.039 would have been a little too much. But yeah, 00:38:48.139 --> 00:38:50.940 we were 14, you know, boys. We basically played 00:38:50.940 --> 00:38:54.460 with army men, construction equipment and dinosaurs. 00:38:55.039 --> 00:38:57.099 And usually you would kind of gravitate towards 00:38:57.099 --> 00:38:59.380 one of those three to be your biggest, most favorite 00:38:59.380 --> 00:39:02.420 of the boys. And so I think dinosaurs were mining. 00:39:02.699 --> 00:39:06.019 Yeah, before Jurassic Park, they had movies with 00:39:06.019 --> 00:39:07.820 dinosaurs, but they were either stop -motion, 00:39:07.960 --> 00:39:10.360 you know, like claymation where, you know, that 00:39:10.360 --> 00:39:12.860 just looks totally cheesy or they were puppets. 00:39:13.239 --> 00:39:16.079 So they couldn't be on the scale of what he does, 00:39:16.380 --> 00:39:19.199 you know, with that movie. And I still remember, 00:39:19.280 --> 00:39:22.460 like, you know, I think it's Sam Neal, and I 00:39:22.460 --> 00:39:24.260 can't remember the actress's name, but when they 00:39:24.260 --> 00:39:25.960 first show up, you know, it's a meme now where 00:39:25.960 --> 00:39:28.059 he takes his sunglasses off because he sees these 00:39:28.059 --> 00:39:31.880 brontosaurus, you know, the brontosaurus grazing. 00:39:31.880 --> 00:39:34.369 I mean, That was our reaction in the theater, 00:39:34.570 --> 00:39:37.269 man. It was like, holy crap, that looks really 00:39:37.269 --> 00:39:41.050 cool and really real. So, you know, way before 00:39:41.050 --> 00:39:43.989 CGI became what it is today, where it's in Dollar 00:39:43.989 --> 00:39:47.610 Tree commercials, it was a very special technique 00:39:47.610 --> 00:39:51.150 and they spent beaucoup of time working on it. 00:39:51.530 --> 00:39:54.710 And man, just the action, the set pieces, the... 00:39:54.480 --> 00:39:57.159 Kitchen with the Velociraptors hunting the kids. 00:39:57.940 --> 00:40:00.739 You know, the T -Rex, the T -Rex stomping up 00:40:00.739 --> 00:40:03.300 and the water glass shaking. I mean, that's just 00:40:03.300 --> 00:40:05.579 phenomenal, phenomenal stuff. That's, you know, 00:40:05.719 --> 00:40:08.659 Steven Spielberg at the height of his game right 00:40:08.659 --> 00:40:12.280 there for me. Give me that way over some of his 00:40:12.280 --> 00:40:16.639 more recent stuff. I'm, you know, and this is 00:40:16.639 --> 00:40:19.539 pretty close here, but Jim, I'm going to go with 00:40:19.539 --> 00:40:28.579 the Pelican brief. Oh, really? Why? I love Denzel 00:40:28.579 --> 00:40:33.579 Washington, Julia Roberts, some of these pairings 00:40:33.579 --> 00:40:38.679 that you just missed. It was what made 1990s 00:40:38.679 --> 00:40:44.579 cinema so captivating and electric. You had the 00:40:44.579 --> 00:40:48.920 stuff in 95, 96, 97, the Pacino and De Niro movies. 00:40:49.460 --> 00:40:56.940 I think Heat was 95. Michael Douglas and Demi 00:40:56.940 --> 00:41:01.199 Moore, Woody Harrelson. It was, we didn't know 00:41:01.199 --> 00:41:05.079 how good we had it. Yeah, agreed. But the Pelican 00:41:05.079 --> 00:41:08.900 Brief, because in my, I think when I started 00:41:08.900 --> 00:41:13.260 to revisit books and maybe trying to just challenge 00:41:13.260 --> 00:41:17.039 myself to read a book again at my twenties, Travis 00:41:17.039 --> 00:41:18.880 recommended, he said, John Grisham. He said, 00:41:18.880 --> 00:41:22.590 I know he's like pretty mainstream. But just 00:41:22.590 --> 00:41:24.210 check out one of the book. I think he gave me 00:41:24.210 --> 00:41:28.409 one. I read bleachers The last juror and the 00:41:28.409 --> 00:41:32.550 pelican brief is based on the 1992 novel by gresham 00:41:32.550 --> 00:41:35.309 But did you see this one when it came out or 00:41:35.309 --> 00:41:38.510 are you familiar with? With the plot, you know, 00:41:38.769 --> 00:41:41.909 I am NOT dan. This is one that I actually I might 00:41:41.909 --> 00:41:44.110 have seen but I literally don't remember seeing 00:41:44.110 --> 00:41:47.710 it. So I I mean I remember commercials for it 00:41:47.710 --> 00:41:49.849 now that you say denzel julia roberts, but no, 00:41:49.929 --> 00:41:52.739 what's it? What's it? Give us a quick synopsis. 00:41:53.119 --> 00:41:56.760 So it's centered around the assassinations of 00:41:56.760 --> 00:42:03.119 two Supreme Court justices. And a law student 00:42:03.119 --> 00:42:07.940 who's played by Julie Roberts, she then writes 00:42:07.940 --> 00:42:14.519 a brief trying to lay out the motive for these 00:42:14.519 --> 00:42:39.309 killings. Is that Denzel? A suspense? Kind of 00:42:39.309 --> 00:42:51.449 action? Suspense? Thriller because she writes 00:42:51.449 --> 00:42:56.030 this brief now she's she's been targeted by the 00:42:56.030 --> 00:43:00.489 killers the The assassins and they're the ones 00:43:00.489 --> 00:43:03.050 that set that that car bomb for her professor 00:43:03.050 --> 00:43:07.130 so then she goes on the run and another journalist 00:43:07.130 --> 00:43:13.090 is trying to assist her and And then they together 00:43:13.090 --> 00:43:18.769 try to unravel the conspiracy Okay, I won't be 00:43:18.769 --> 00:43:22.369 a conspiracy thriller so this was you know 93 00:43:22.369 --> 00:43:25.550 we're Forget the release date because if it's 00:43:25.550 --> 00:43:27.869 in the spring, we're in eighth grade if it's 00:43:27.869 --> 00:43:30.969 in the fall We're in ninth grade. You just you're 00:43:30.969 --> 00:43:34.570 just starting to get I hate to say bandwidth, 00:43:34.650 --> 00:43:37.869 but you're You're trying you're starting to be 00:43:37.869 --> 00:43:40.829 able to process some of these plots at the movie 00:43:40.829 --> 00:43:44.469 theater. You're not You're not 11 or 12 anymore 00:43:45.429 --> 00:43:47.570 you're either about to be in high school or in 00:43:47.570 --> 00:43:51.110 or close and So this kind of reminds me of that 00:43:51.110 --> 00:43:53.570 time period where stuff like the Pelican brief 00:43:53.570 --> 00:43:57.110 or a time to kill Which I think was a couple 00:43:57.110 --> 00:44:02.269 years later Kiss the girls Sling blade, I think 00:44:02.269 --> 00:44:06.110 sling blade was Maybe the year we graduated but 00:44:06.110 --> 00:44:09.690 just represents that type of That type of movie. 00:44:09.690 --> 00:44:13.639 It was getting past the action comedy More of 00:44:13.639 --> 00:44:15.880 a thinking and talking people talking movie. 00:44:16.500 --> 00:44:20.420 Yeah, then once you know what you like Prior 00:44:20.420 --> 00:44:23.239 to your teens probably and and honestly some 00:44:23.239 --> 00:44:26.340 of these movies when we get to number one, it 00:44:26.340 --> 00:44:30.219 will be Not so much. Oh, I saw it in 1993 when 00:44:30.219 --> 00:44:36.000 I was 14 and I was Enamored with it immediately. 00:44:36.000 --> 00:44:38.340 It was some of these are it came out in 93. I 00:44:38.340 --> 00:44:42.829 did see it and over time now I see that It's 00:44:42.829 --> 00:44:48.789 such a transformative piece of art. Yeah, I'll 00:44:48.789 --> 00:44:53.829 agree. How do you feel about Julia Roberts in 00:44:53.829 --> 00:44:59.110 some of her more serious roles? Geez Dan, I don't 00:44:59.110 --> 00:45:00.769 really think I think a lot about Julia Roberts. 00:45:00.849 --> 00:45:05.110 Are you a Julia Roberts guy? No, no. I think 00:45:05.110 --> 00:45:07.510 she's a great actress, but I'm not going to go 00:45:07.510 --> 00:45:09.170 rush up to see something just because she's in 00:45:09.170 --> 00:45:11.550 it. or I wouldn't have 20 years ago. She doesn't 00:45:11.550 --> 00:45:14.349 seem to be making a whole lot of movies anymore. 00:45:15.309 --> 00:45:16.929 I think she's a great actress though. Pretty 00:45:16.929 --> 00:45:19.650 Woman was good. Can't really think of anything 00:45:19.650 --> 00:45:23.110 else she's been in that I'm a huge fan of.

Notting Hill, Aaron Brockovich. How about 00:45:33.010 --> 00:45:35.429 Gem, My Best Friend's Wedding? Surely you saw 00:45:35.429 --> 00:45:42.639 that one. No, I did not. Runaway Bride.

Richard 00:45:56.179 --> 00:45:58.420 Greer. I think Richard Greer was our electronics 00:45:58.420 --> 00:46:01.559 teacher in high school. I always liked Richard 00:46:01.559 --> 00:46:06.000 Greer. Yeah.
