00:00:00.110 --> 00:00:02.810
Hey everybody, welcome to Jon D Podcast. I'm

00:00:02.810 --> 00:00:04.650
your host, Jon D Miller. Welcome to episode

00:00:04.650 --> 00:00:08.949
number 72, everybody. Number 72. Numero 72. In

00:00:08.949 --> 00:00:11.210
the old Espanol language, that's right. Mm -hmm.

00:00:11.390 --> 00:00:17.850
1 ,509. Going on 1 ,510 days now as I begin to

00:00:17.850 --> 00:00:22.550
record this of no booze. No booze, yes. No booze.

00:00:22.609 --> 00:00:24.410
How are yees, how are yees, how are y 'alls?

00:00:24.629 --> 00:00:27.149
Where have I been? Where have I been? Where have

00:00:27.149 --> 00:00:31.449
you been? Is what I want to know. Huh? You haven't

00:00:31.449 --> 00:00:33.869
checked it on me. Although I had a lot of listens,

00:00:33.990 --> 00:00:37.609
lady. I know. Last episode, not since December.

00:00:37.770 --> 00:00:41.229
And I want to apologize to you for that. I've

00:00:41.229 --> 00:00:43.829
been working on everybody else's podcast but

00:00:43.829 --> 00:00:47.409
my own. No, that's not totally true. But I have.

00:00:47.590 --> 00:00:51.590
I've been working on podcasts, just not on this

00:00:51.590 --> 00:00:53.950
one. But you know what? All I got to say is be

00:00:53.950 --> 00:00:57.670
careful of a billionaire, whatever his position

00:00:57.670 --> 00:01:01.549
might be in life. But anybody who has a lot of

00:01:01.549 --> 00:01:04.790
anything they could ever possibly need, be weary

00:01:04.790 --> 00:01:07.650
of them telling you, oh, you're going to feel

00:01:07.650 --> 00:01:13.109
some pain, endure some things. Because that's

00:01:13.109 --> 00:01:17.430
a crock of shit. Okay? So, yeah, I'm just going

00:01:17.430 --> 00:01:21.049
to say that now. God, it's been since December.

00:01:21.090 --> 00:01:23.709
We had Christmas. I passed, let's see, I turned

00:01:23.709 --> 00:01:28.730
51 in January. I passed four years of no booze.

00:01:29.719 --> 00:01:33.680
That wasn't very fun. No, it's been all right.

00:01:33.760 --> 00:01:36.980
Thank you to people, anybody and everybody who

00:01:36.980 --> 00:01:39.760
might have wished me well on it. I appreciate

00:01:39.760 --> 00:01:44.359
that. That was super cool. And also to my buddy

00:01:44.359 --> 00:01:47.480
Josh, who wrote an email back a while ago into

00:01:47.480 --> 00:01:49.420
the show here. I don't remember what episode

00:01:49.420 --> 00:01:52.019
it was, but hey, man, thanks for checking in

00:01:52.019 --> 00:01:54.040
on me and making sure I didn't, as you put it.

00:01:54.439 --> 00:01:56.640
fall off the wagon, which I think I might've

00:01:56.640 --> 00:01:58.280
written a new bit about that. I don't know. I

00:01:58.280 --> 00:02:01.140
think other comics have written jokes about the

00:02:01.140 --> 00:02:03.379
wagon and the, what they call, you know, when,

00:02:03.439 --> 00:02:05.540
when people are not drinking anymore and they

00:02:05.540 --> 00:02:07.379
start drinking again, they fall off the wagon.

00:02:07.439 --> 00:02:10.199
And I don't know. My thought was I never, I never,

00:02:10.240 --> 00:02:12.180
I've never fallen off the wagon. I think if anything,

00:02:12.319 --> 00:02:14.800
when I was drunk, I might've gotten wheeled home

00:02:14.800 --> 00:02:17.919
in a wagon, you know, that might've happened

00:02:17.919 --> 00:02:20.219
at some point or that somebody loaded me into

00:02:20.219 --> 00:02:22.250
one and just roll me down the hill. I don't know

00:02:22.250 --> 00:02:24.349
what hill that would be, but I've lived at the

00:02:24.349 --> 00:02:26.150
bottom of some hills in my life. So, you know,

00:02:26.150 --> 00:02:28.090
maybe some of my friends are like, just put him

00:02:28.090 --> 00:02:30.569
in. I wouldn't deal with it. Let his woman deal

00:02:30.569 --> 00:02:32.050
with it. You know, we don't want to get in trouble.

00:02:32.729 --> 00:02:34.590
Yeah, but it was, I don't know, crazy winter.

00:02:34.710 --> 00:02:38.610
I mean, Canada, I love you. I really do. The

00:02:38.610 --> 00:02:41.110
true north, strong and free. May you always remain

00:02:41.110 --> 00:02:44.370
that way. But man, that cold, I don't know what

00:02:44.370 --> 00:02:46.430
it, I'm not trying to start some conspiracy theory.

00:02:46.509 --> 00:02:47.949
People go, oh, they're sending the cold weather

00:02:47.949 --> 00:02:51.370
down here to punish us. Don't, don't even. You

00:02:51.370 --> 00:02:54.169
know how people are. No, it was just cold Arctic

00:02:54.169 --> 00:02:56.449
domes or whatever they call them. The thing is,

00:02:56.490 --> 00:02:58.990
my son even got it. Like we were sitting there

00:02:58.990 --> 00:03:01.590
one night and we'd come in from being outside

00:03:01.590 --> 00:03:05.229
and like out like grocery shopping. Not a grocery

00:03:05.229 --> 00:03:06.750
shop, but we were out doing something and we

00:03:06.750 --> 00:03:08.349
came back into the house and he was like, oh,

00:03:08.430 --> 00:03:10.849
I can't even imagine how cold it is in Canada.

00:03:11.189 --> 00:03:17.819
Yeah, exactly. If it's, you know. 18 degrees

00:03:17.819 --> 00:03:21.139
here in the middle of the mid -Atlantic coast.

00:03:21.900 --> 00:03:25.860
What is it in Canada? That's what I'm saying.

00:03:25.960 --> 00:03:28.919
You people are strong up there, man. Every time

00:03:28.919 --> 00:03:30.340
I've been up there, like I told, when I used

00:03:30.340 --> 00:03:32.740
to do comedy, I told some of the bookers and

00:03:32.740 --> 00:03:35.020
people I worked with, I'm not going back up there

00:03:35.020 --> 00:03:40.319
in November through March. You can just take

00:03:40.319 --> 00:03:42.699
me off the schedule and put me on something that's

00:03:42.699 --> 00:03:47.360
in between. April and October, I guess. Maybe

00:03:47.360 --> 00:03:50.039
September would be preferable. I don't know.

00:03:50.699 --> 00:03:52.900
Canadians, I love your hockey. I love you as

00:03:52.900 --> 00:03:56.819
a people. You're awesome. But please, your cold

00:03:56.819 --> 00:03:59.599
air. Come on. I mean, it was crazy. We had snow

00:03:59.599 --> 00:04:04.219
on an Alabama beach in the Gulf of Mexico. That

00:04:04.219 --> 00:04:09.300
is just absolutely insane. People go, oh, it's

00:04:09.300 --> 00:04:11.259
a once -in -a -lifetime occurrence. Well, a lifetime

00:04:11.259 --> 00:04:14.439
is what? 80? Let's say 80 years. Find me something

00:04:14.439 --> 00:04:16.899
80 years ago where it snowed on Alabama Beach.

00:04:17.040 --> 00:04:19.399
I'm not saying it didn't. I'm not going to waste

00:04:19.399 --> 00:04:21.259
my time looking it up because I don't think it's

00:04:21.259 --> 00:04:23.740
ever happened. That's my point. And, you know,

00:04:23.839 --> 00:04:26.019
I know I made some statements here a second ago.

00:04:26.199 --> 00:04:27.699
And people go, oh, I thought you'd really talk

00:04:27.699 --> 00:04:29.620
about, like, politics or anything like that on

00:04:29.620 --> 00:04:32.439
the show. Well, you know what? Some people lately

00:04:32.439 --> 00:04:35.160
seem to be saying one thing and doing another.

00:04:35.300 --> 00:04:37.379
So, you know, maybe I'm just following suit.

00:04:37.579 --> 00:04:41.500
Am I right? I am. Don't argue with me. So, anyways,

00:04:41.680 --> 00:04:45.000
let's talk about hockey, huh? Alex Ovechkin,

00:04:45.120 --> 00:04:49.899
895 goals, all -time leading goal scorer in NHL

00:04:49.899 --> 00:04:52.079
history. Now, I saw Ovi's first two goals ever.

00:04:52.319 --> 00:04:54.459
I remember watching him play. I'd seen some video

00:04:54.459 --> 00:04:56.620
and everything like that, but I'm watching him

00:04:56.620 --> 00:04:59.319
play in person. I was like, man, this kid is

00:04:59.319 --> 00:05:01.779
going to do some stuff. And, you know, at the

00:05:01.779 --> 00:05:03.459
time, I thought he would have won maybe a few

00:05:03.459 --> 00:05:05.560
more cups, but that's not just on him. You know,

00:05:05.639 --> 00:05:07.899
it's a team sport. You got to have a good team

00:05:07.899 --> 00:05:10.199
around you. Ovi didn't have a very good one for

00:05:10.199 --> 00:05:12.699
the first couple of years. And I went to the

00:05:12.699 --> 00:05:15.360
first playoff game that the Caps had been in

00:05:15.360 --> 00:05:18.360
in like seven years. And Ovi scored his first

00:05:18.360 --> 00:05:20.360
ever playoff goal. I think it was Marty Baran.

00:05:20.480 --> 00:05:23.699
The Caps had been down 4 -2. And they came back

00:05:23.699 --> 00:05:26.439
and won at 5 -4. They ended up losing the series,

00:05:26.540 --> 00:05:30.199
actually, which kind of baited just a bit. But

00:05:30.199 --> 00:05:31.939
I remember that first game against Columbus.

00:05:32.180 --> 00:05:34.860
And I was like, man, this kid. I mean, you just

00:05:34.860 --> 00:05:38.889
couldn't. His shot was just so. You can just

00:05:38.889 --> 00:05:40.629
see it. You can just see the skill. You see the

00:05:40.629 --> 00:05:43.269
power. So anyways, congratulations to him. And

00:05:43.269 --> 00:05:46.129
I'm really happy for him. And I'm glad that he

00:05:46.129 --> 00:05:49.149
got the record. Now the team can get back to

00:05:49.149 --> 00:05:52.930
playing team hockey instead of always, you know,

00:05:52.949 --> 00:05:55.209
force feeding Ovi the puck. It sucks because

00:05:55.209 --> 00:05:57.389
Ovi should be, he should have broken the record

00:05:57.389 --> 00:05:59.050
and he should be on his way to a thousand. He

00:05:59.050 --> 00:06:01.129
should be at a thousand. His first season, he,

00:06:01.189 --> 00:06:03.269
after he got drafted, there was no NHL season.

00:06:03.910 --> 00:06:08.029
He, uh, lockouts, uh, COVID. You know, all that

00:06:08.029 --> 00:06:10.470
stuff added up to, I don't know. I don't know

00:06:10.470 --> 00:06:11.870
how many, especially when he was young and he

00:06:11.870 --> 00:06:14.970
was popping in 63 goals in a season or around

00:06:14.970 --> 00:06:16.769
that. I mean, he could have had another 50 and

00:06:16.769 --> 00:06:19.910
then another 50. Come on. He should be over 1

00:06:19.910 --> 00:06:23.350
,000 for his career. And he got shorted. And

00:06:23.350 --> 00:06:25.629
I don't want to be a conspiracy theorist, but

00:06:25.629 --> 00:06:28.709
supposedly. I'm just kidding. I don't think that

00:06:28.709 --> 00:06:30.250
ever happened. I love you, Canadians. You're

00:06:30.250 --> 00:06:33.420
awesome. Ilya Sorokin. I was telling. My kid

00:06:33.420 --> 00:06:35.379
and a friend of mine, I was like, man, whoever

00:06:35.379 --> 00:06:37.879
gets to be the goalie, right? Like, nobody really

00:06:37.879 --> 00:06:41.399
remembers Garth Snow, who was the goalie when

00:06:41.399 --> 00:06:43.759
Gretzky broke the record. He ended up scoring

00:06:43.759 --> 00:06:45.759
like 70 -something more goals afterwards. But

00:06:45.759 --> 00:06:47.860
people don't remember Garth Snow. I mean, people

00:06:47.860 --> 00:06:49.600
might who've watched hockey for a long time.

00:06:49.680 --> 00:06:52.180
They will remember Garth Snow. Like, you say,

00:06:52.259 --> 00:06:53.699
hey, Garth Snow, and they're like, yeah, he played

00:06:53.699 --> 00:06:55.519
for, like, what, the Islanders, the Canucks,

00:06:55.560 --> 00:06:57.040
and blah, blah, blah, right? That's what I would

00:06:57.040 --> 00:06:58.519
have said. There was another team in there, I

00:06:58.519 --> 00:07:00.480
believe. But it doesn't matter. My point is,

00:07:00.519 --> 00:07:04.379
yeah, I know who Garth Snow was. Now, if you

00:07:04.379 --> 00:07:07.480
had said to me, Garth Snow, was he the goalie

00:07:07.480 --> 00:07:10.540
that Gretzky scored on to break the record for

00:07:10.540 --> 00:07:12.899
most goals in a season? I would have said, I

00:07:12.899 --> 00:07:14.860
have no idea, dude. Why are you asking me this?

00:07:15.019 --> 00:07:16.699
You want to look it up? That's Google. You have

00:07:16.699 --> 00:07:18.459
a phone. Look it up. Okay, cool. That's what

00:07:18.459 --> 00:07:20.220
I would have said. So, you know, that's what

00:07:20.220 --> 00:07:22.889
I mean. I don't know. People for a while will

00:07:22.889 --> 00:07:25.569
go, oh, Ilya Sorokin. Which I thought was funny.

00:07:25.850 --> 00:07:30.209
Budweiser made up some beers with cans on them,

00:07:30.230 --> 00:07:32.930
and they say zero of 895, and they gave it to

00:07:32.930 --> 00:07:35.490
goalies who have ever played against Ovi and

00:07:35.490 --> 00:07:38.889
not surrendered a goal. But some of them were

00:07:38.889 --> 00:07:41.009
stupid. It was like, what was that, Dobesh kid

00:07:41.009 --> 00:07:45.750
from Montreal, and he's faced five shots or three.

00:07:46.089 --> 00:07:48.860
Don't get me wrong. A lot of goalies have literally

00:07:48.860 --> 00:07:52.220
first -time shot, first -time goal. Ovi scores.

00:07:53.100 --> 00:07:55.100
Don't get me wrong. Stopping any shot of his,

00:07:55.199 --> 00:07:58.040
it's a feat. I give him credit. So congrats to

00:07:58.040 --> 00:08:00.480
Ovi. I'm very proud of him. I'm very proud to

00:08:00.480 --> 00:08:02.420
say I'm rooting for him. And some people are

00:08:02.420 --> 00:08:04.560
saying, oh, he's Russian. He's terrible. Don't

00:08:04.560 --> 00:08:06.779
bring that stupid war bullshit into it. And I

00:08:06.779 --> 00:08:09.300
say stupid war as in the war is stupid. Putin

00:08:09.300 --> 00:08:11.879
is stupid. That's what I'm saying. He was here

00:08:11.879 --> 00:08:15.079
long before that ever happened. And I don't think

00:08:15.079 --> 00:08:18.060
he supports it. They quit showing old pictures

00:08:18.060 --> 00:08:23.319
of him and Putin from years ago. Oh, Putin congratulates

00:08:23.319 --> 00:08:25.860
Ovi. And people go, oh, I see. He's not even

00:08:25.860 --> 00:08:28.699
in Russia. He's still here in the United States.

00:08:28.759 --> 00:08:31.500
He's still playing hockey. Come on. Be smart,

00:08:31.600 --> 00:08:34.080
Americans. And wherever you are. So, anyways,

00:08:34.159 --> 00:08:37.740
congratulations to Ovi. I've been on streaming,

00:08:38.059 --> 00:08:40.580
whatever, Hulu and all that shit. Which, of course,

00:08:40.659 --> 00:08:42.240
they're getting more and more expensive. I don't

00:08:42.240 --> 00:08:44.360
understand. Can I just say this? I don't give

00:08:44.360 --> 00:08:47.639
a f***. I have no fucking idea why, except for

00:08:47.639 --> 00:08:49.179
the fact that I guess they feel they can do it.

00:08:49.220 --> 00:08:51.139
Because what are we going to do? Are we going

00:08:51.139 --> 00:08:53.500
to change? Are we going to switch? Is why when

00:08:53.500 --> 00:08:57.179
you are a legacy, a quote unquote legacy customer,

00:08:57.440 --> 00:09:00.379
why does like Hulu or these other companies,

00:09:00.700 --> 00:09:03.240
because you're not new to them. No, you've only

00:09:03.240 --> 00:09:05.659
been paying them money every month for two, three,

00:09:05.820 --> 00:09:08.639
four years. And they're like, oh, hey, we're

00:09:08.639 --> 00:09:11.779
raising our rates because you're a legacy customer.

00:09:11.860 --> 00:09:14.259
Well, my legacy. I'm going to leave your ass

00:09:14.259 --> 00:09:17.100
at one of these days. You keep freaking raising

00:09:17.100 --> 00:09:20.100
my shit. Partly it's the live TV. That's the

00:09:20.100 --> 00:09:23.000
expensive part now. If you want live TV, I mean,

00:09:23.000 --> 00:09:26.980
I love my hockey. Like tonight, I was watching

00:09:26.980 --> 00:09:29.740
a game. It wasn't even, it was what? Leafs and

00:09:29.740 --> 00:09:32.700
Panthers. I was watching that. I don't just watch

00:09:32.700 --> 00:09:36.259
the Caps, okay? But I don't understand why. Why

00:09:36.259 --> 00:09:39.159
is that? You pay them overnight, and they're

00:09:39.159 --> 00:09:40.179
just like, yeah, we're just going to raise your

00:09:40.179 --> 00:09:43.309
rates. But anyways, hey, you. mr nobody we've

00:09:43.309 --> 00:09:44.809
never met you before would you like to come in

00:09:44.809 --> 00:09:47.509
and join all of our services for like 15 bucks

00:09:47.509 --> 00:09:49.210
a month yeah these people over here are paying

00:09:49.210 --> 00:09:52.870
like 90 or you know 70 to 90 bucks and but you

00:09:52.870 --> 00:09:56.009
can have her for 15 for like two years and then

00:09:56.009 --> 00:09:59.490
yeah i'm just saying all right so the national

00:09:59.490 --> 00:10:01.370
film registry is run by the library of congress

00:10:01.370 --> 00:10:03.809
and they have on their websites every year they

00:10:03.809 --> 00:10:07.809
pick like 25 movies and they can be over the

00:10:07.809 --> 00:10:10.049
course of any time. They don't have to be recent

00:10:10.049 --> 00:10:11.970
or they don't have to be a certain age. Well,

00:10:12.049 --> 00:10:13.549
I think they have to be a certain age, but like

00:10:13.549 --> 00:10:16.090
20 years or 25, something like that. In this

00:10:16.090 --> 00:10:19.590
year's inductees into the National Film Registry,

00:10:19.649 --> 00:10:21.929
what they do is they take these movies and they

00:10:21.929 --> 00:10:26.230
put them in there and they keep them for purposes

00:10:26.230 --> 00:10:30.409
of being culturally relevant. They could be the

00:10:30.409 --> 00:10:32.870
time, the place, what it's about, a lot of different

00:10:32.870 --> 00:10:36.250
things, all that in between combined. So that's

00:10:36.250 --> 00:10:38.620
what they do. And here's the coolest thing about

00:10:38.620 --> 00:10:41.500
it. You can actually go to their website and

00:10:41.500 --> 00:10:44.580
well for now, and you can actually download the

00:10:44.580 --> 00:10:46.399
movies for free. You can, or you can watch them

00:10:46.399 --> 00:10:47.740
for free. I think that's, I don't think it's

00:10:47.740 --> 00:10:49.639
the best video quality. I think they might be

00:10:49.639 --> 00:10:53.059
like mob wave files, mob files. So not the best,

00:10:53.100 --> 00:10:56.299
but you know, free. And you actually download

00:10:56.299 --> 00:10:58.940
the movies and they're not the best quality,

00:10:59.019 --> 00:11:01.200
but they're okay. At least as far as watching

00:11:01.200 --> 00:11:03.139
it on a computer screen. I mean, I'm not saying

00:11:03.139 --> 00:11:05.590
you shouldn't like, you know. don't download

00:11:05.590 --> 00:11:07.769
some a movie from the national film registry

00:11:07.769 --> 00:11:11.090
as a mob file and then be like all right kids

00:11:11.090 --> 00:11:12.750
we're having movie night like it's it's gonna

00:11:12.750 --> 00:11:14.730
be a little it's probably gonna be the best i

00:11:14.730 --> 00:11:16.549
don't know if you ever i mean it's definitely

00:11:16.549 --> 00:11:18.309
better than some of the movies i used to watch

00:11:18.309 --> 00:11:20.610
on the fire stick did anybody have remember that

00:11:20.610 --> 00:11:23.230
thing is that still going on i don't know anybody

00:11:23.230 --> 00:11:25.070
who does that anymore but you remember that you

00:11:25.070 --> 00:11:27.049
would do with the jailbreak the fire stick the

00:11:27.049 --> 00:11:29.230
cody app Or did they just stop it? Is that what

00:11:29.230 --> 00:11:32.090
it was? I don't know. I haven't done that in

00:11:32.090 --> 00:11:34.450
so long. Because that's what happened. You kept

00:11:34.450 --> 00:11:37.169
getting these shitty freaking movies with people

00:11:37.169 --> 00:11:42.450
filming in a movie theater. Yeah, this is not

00:11:42.450 --> 00:11:44.870
going to work. This is not going to make my family

00:11:44.870 --> 00:11:46.710
entertained. What were we trying to watch one

00:11:46.710 --> 00:11:48.590
time? I think it was one of the Despicable Me

00:11:48.590 --> 00:11:51.460
movies. I think that's what it was. Yeah, the

00:11:51.460 --> 00:11:53.299
Despicable Me movies. One of them. Not the first

00:11:53.299 --> 00:11:55.279
one, but one of them. And I remember trying to

00:11:55.279 --> 00:11:57.620
watch it. And you just see. At first, you're

00:11:57.620 --> 00:11:58.879
like, what's up with the sound? What's up with

00:11:58.879 --> 00:12:00.740
the picture? It doesn't look. And then you literally

00:12:00.740 --> 00:12:02.600
saw somebody just, like, walk, doing the whole,

00:12:02.639 --> 00:12:04.919
like, excuse me, excuse me, excuse me type of

00:12:04.919 --> 00:12:06.419
situation. And then you could see somebody move

00:12:06.419 --> 00:12:09.580
and kind of get out of the way. Like, yeah. So

00:12:09.580 --> 00:12:11.779
when I say it's not great, they're good quality.

00:12:12.039 --> 00:12:14.470
They're just not. Don't put them on your 80 -inch

00:12:14.470 --> 00:12:17.570
fucking Samsung TV. Yeah, that's with the UHD

00:12:17.570 --> 00:12:20.250
and the 8 million pixels. I get it. Like, don't

00:12:20.250 --> 00:12:23.009
do that, okay? Don't do that. And I do know that

00:12:23.009 --> 00:12:25.870
fact about TVs. I don't know what they are now,

00:12:25.970 --> 00:12:27.649
but that's what they used to be because I used

00:12:27.649 --> 00:12:29.389
to work for Best Buy. So that's how I knew that,

00:12:29.450 --> 00:12:31.789
specifically with dealing with television. Anyways,

00:12:31.990 --> 00:12:33.570
you can go to the National Film Registry and

00:12:33.570 --> 00:12:35.330
you can get these movies and you can watch them

00:12:35.330 --> 00:12:38.570
off of their website, which is super cool. You

00:12:38.570 --> 00:12:40.629
want to talk about your taxpayer dollars being

00:12:40.629 --> 00:12:44.110
put to good use? I think it is. But anyways,

00:12:44.230 --> 00:12:46.350
just to go over real quick, three of the inductees

00:12:46.350 --> 00:12:48.990
that I found to be very interesting were one

00:12:48.990 --> 00:12:53.190
of them was Dirty Dancing. Yeah. For the ladies,

00:12:53.330 --> 00:12:55.070
right? Got to throw that in there because it's

00:12:55.070 --> 00:12:58.470
culturally relevant to see Patrick Swayze shaking

00:12:58.470 --> 00:13:02.570
his hips around. I've heard women say it. It's

00:13:02.570 --> 00:13:04.990
his hips. It's his hips in the movie. Really?

00:13:05.350 --> 00:13:10.809
That's the thing? I don't know. I don't know.

00:13:10.830 --> 00:13:14.360
I'm not a dancer. I guess. But Dirty Dancing,

00:13:14.559 --> 00:13:16.259
you know, nobody puts Baby in the corner. So

00:13:16.259 --> 00:13:19.340
I guess, you know, they filmed it here in Virginia.

00:13:19.480 --> 00:13:21.379
But you know what? Here's the thing about Dirty

00:13:21.379 --> 00:13:24.000
Dancing. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think

00:13:24.000 --> 00:13:27.100
the storyline for the movie, it's not even the

00:13:27.100 --> 00:13:29.559
dancing and the blah, blah, blah. But my thing,

00:13:29.700 --> 00:13:31.759
I just never thought the storyline was all that

00:13:31.759 --> 00:13:34.289
great of a story. You have this chick who goes

00:13:34.289 --> 00:13:36.970
on vacation with her rich family, and then they're

00:13:36.970 --> 00:13:39.850
staying there. These kids that work at the place,

00:13:39.909 --> 00:13:42.950
they also dance. When they dance, they're dirty

00:13:42.950 --> 00:13:50.450
dancing. Come on. It's a different version of

00:13:50.450 --> 00:13:52.750
breakdancing the movie. It's just not that good

00:13:52.750 --> 00:13:55.029
a story. You throw some romance in there. You

00:13:55.029 --> 00:13:57.710
throw some kid rebelling against their parents.

00:13:57.889 --> 00:14:00.230
It's got all the elements of doing that. Okay.

00:14:02.039 --> 00:14:04.820
Because how else am I going to defend another

00:14:04.820 --> 00:14:07.000
choice that I truly think should be in there,

00:14:07.059 --> 00:14:09.080
and that's up in smoke. I mean, come on now.

00:14:09.159 --> 00:14:11.259
Obviously, Cheech and Chong. Got to be in there.

00:14:11.840 --> 00:14:14.460
By the way, I don't know. I'd tell this story.

00:14:14.620 --> 00:14:16.419
I don't know if I ever have. I don't know how

00:14:16.419 --> 00:14:20.259
tall Cheech Marin is, but I have met Tommy Chong

00:14:20.259 --> 00:14:22.960
in person very briefly, very literally just stood.

00:14:23.019 --> 00:14:26.500
I was at the Funny Bone here in town. I wasn't

00:14:26.500 --> 00:14:29.039
working. I was there hanging out. Tommy Chong

00:14:29.039 --> 00:14:31.100
came walking up the ramp. There was a ramp coming

00:14:31.100 --> 00:14:33.600
up. from where the green room was, and he had

00:14:33.600 --> 00:14:35.980
his guitar, and he had a Hawaiian shirt, and

00:14:35.980 --> 00:14:38.299
he was, I don't know, he was like maybe up to

00:14:38.299 --> 00:14:40.799
my shoulder, I don't like six foot, if I don't,

00:14:40.799 --> 00:14:44.460
if I'm posture's good, and he just, but he looked

00:14:44.460 --> 00:14:46.200
over, he was like, hi, I'm Tommy, and I said,

00:14:46.279 --> 00:14:49.340
hey, I'm John, he goes, are you working, and

00:14:49.340 --> 00:14:51.500
I said, no, I'm just hanging out, my friend's

00:14:51.500 --> 00:14:54.000
working, and he said, cool, how are they, and

00:14:54.000 --> 00:14:56.139
I said, they're great, they're here for you,

00:14:56.320 --> 00:14:58.740
he said, awesome, I'm gonna go work now, and

00:14:58.740 --> 00:15:00.480
I said, good, he goes, it was good to meet you,

00:15:00.519 --> 00:15:02.490
John. I thought that was super cool, actually.

00:15:02.769 --> 00:15:04.610
Not that I made an impression on him. I just

00:15:04.610 --> 00:15:06.169
think it was cool that he remembered my name

00:15:06.169 --> 00:15:08.129
and said it. He said, yeah, thank you, John.

00:15:08.269 --> 00:15:10.610
And then he kept on walking. But he was like

00:15:10.610 --> 00:15:12.429
on my shoulder. And he's shorter. Look at the

00:15:12.429 --> 00:15:14.389
movies. Look at the movies. Watch the clip for

00:15:14.389 --> 00:15:16.429
Mexican -Americans. I'm just saying, any scene,

00:15:16.470 --> 00:15:18.549
you see them together. I mean, up in smoke, obviously.

00:15:18.730 --> 00:15:21.070
Which, actually, I know. Mexican -Americans is

00:15:21.070 --> 00:15:24.289
in next movie. It's not in up in smoke. But I

00:15:24.289 --> 00:15:25.830
was watching that the other day. And it always

00:15:25.830 --> 00:15:29.340
makes me laugh. Anyways, so if that has cultural

00:15:29.340 --> 00:15:32.580
relevance, which I think it does, just the counterculture

00:15:32.580 --> 00:15:34.620
and everything else that's sort of involved with

00:15:34.620 --> 00:15:37.480
it as well as, you know, the stonerifics of it,

00:15:37.500 --> 00:15:39.500
I guess you could say. So, yeah, I think it should

00:15:39.500 --> 00:15:43.240
be in there. Beverly Hills Cop. I haven't seen

00:15:43.240 --> 00:15:46.539
the new one, the new Beverly Hills Cop, but there

00:15:46.539 --> 00:15:48.440
you go. I don't have Netflix. That's another

00:15:48.440 --> 00:15:50.500
one. Stay with us longer and we're just going

00:15:50.500 --> 00:15:53.919
to keep raising your rates up. Why? You know,

00:15:53.919 --> 00:15:55.960
if anything, it should go to a certain point

00:15:55.960 --> 00:15:58.539
and then start reducing back down. I think that's

00:15:58.539 --> 00:16:01.419
what it should be. Can we do that? Can we negotiate

00:16:01.419 --> 00:16:04.740
that deal? Yeah, that's exactly what I would

00:16:04.740 --> 00:16:07.440
say. Let it go up and then we'll negotiate it

00:16:07.440 --> 00:16:09.580
back down. Or we'll let it slide back down. And

00:16:09.580 --> 00:16:10.899
then you can let it go back up for a little bit.

00:16:10.980 --> 00:16:14.259
Something. Like, work with us. Every other month

00:16:14.259 --> 00:16:16.639
it's this price. I don't fucking know. I'm not

00:16:16.639 --> 00:16:18.600
a business major. You are. You figure it out.

00:16:19.120 --> 00:16:21.159
You figure out how to keep me happy enough that

00:16:21.159 --> 00:16:23.440
I stay giving you money. That's what my freaking

00:16:23.440 --> 00:16:26.320
point is, right? Is that, can I, yeah, I hear

00:16:26.320 --> 00:16:29.320
people cheering in my head. Anyways, so yeah,

00:16:29.460 --> 00:16:31.220
Beverly Hills Cop, that was cool. I think that's

00:16:31.220 --> 00:16:36.200
a good one. Star Trek II, Wrath of Khan, which,

00:16:36.279 --> 00:16:38.340
can I just say this? You know, Wrath of Khan,

00:16:38.539 --> 00:16:40.700
great movie. Definitely, they came back with

00:16:40.700 --> 00:16:43.980
a bang after releasing that first shitty Star

00:16:43.980 --> 00:16:46.460
Trek movie, Voyager, V 'ger, that whole thing.

00:16:46.860 --> 00:16:49.100
They did. And the cast was great in that. And

00:16:49.100 --> 00:16:51.419
then they came out with three. I don't think

00:16:51.419 --> 00:16:53.279
three will ever be in the National Film Registry,

00:16:53.299 --> 00:16:56.580
if anything, because they took away a little

00:16:56.580 --> 00:16:59.480
cute Kirstie Alley as Savick and replaced her

00:16:59.480 --> 00:17:01.480
with that other lady. I don't even remember her

00:17:01.480 --> 00:17:04.839
name. I know one time I was at a Comic -Con and

00:17:04.839 --> 00:17:07.519
she was there. And I walked past and I saw her.

00:17:07.619 --> 00:17:10.549
And I was like, fake Savick. No, she was actually

00:17:10.549 --> 00:17:12.470
in like two of the movies, wasn't she? I think.

00:17:12.509 --> 00:17:14.710
What was the one in four? I liked four. It was

00:17:14.710 --> 00:17:16.769
where they go to, what, San Francisco and save

00:17:16.769 --> 00:17:21.730
the whales. It was a stretch, but who gives a

00:17:21.730 --> 00:17:25.410
coat to Colin? You know what scene still in that

00:17:25.410 --> 00:17:28.329
movie gives me the queasies is the checkoff.

00:17:28.789 --> 00:17:31.569
Remember they put the worms in him and the captains

00:17:31.569 --> 00:17:34.490
and the helmets and it like controls their brains.

00:17:34.750 --> 00:17:36.130
All right, maybe it's not that great a movie.

00:17:36.230 --> 00:17:39.460
Nothing else, the battles. It was the space battles.

00:17:39.500 --> 00:17:42.559
The ship to ship. You know what I mean? Like,

00:17:42.579 --> 00:17:47.119
that was pretty epic. Okay, Khan. Here it comes.

00:17:47.400 --> 00:17:49.160
All right. See, what can I tell you? I know.

00:17:49.240 --> 00:17:52.839
I'm a movie quote guy. But check those out. All

00:17:52.839 --> 00:17:54.339
right. Well, I guess I need to start wrapping

00:17:54.339 --> 00:17:56.920
it up here. We did some fun stuff. And I know

00:17:56.920 --> 00:18:00.019
I don't like to talk politics on here. I am going

00:18:00.019 --> 00:18:02.640
to sort of discuss something. And I'm just going

00:18:02.640 --> 00:18:05.140
to say a couple things real quick. Okay? And

00:18:05.140 --> 00:18:06.710
then we're going to move on. I just want to tell

00:18:06.710 --> 00:18:10.329
people, stop trashing Teslas, okay? Just stop

00:18:10.329 --> 00:18:15.049
it. And I say that because it's stupid. Some

00:18:15.049 --> 00:18:19.690
people, you don't know, okay? Okay, regular Teslas.

00:18:19.710 --> 00:18:22.089
If it's the fucking truck thing, you can, whatever.

00:18:22.250 --> 00:18:25.049
No, don't do that. It's stupid, is my point.

00:18:25.230 --> 00:18:28.250
Stop it, okay? It's dumb. A lot of people probably

00:18:28.250 --> 00:18:29.910
have Teslas. That's their car. That's what they

00:18:29.910 --> 00:18:32.650
drive, you know? Remember, there was a time before

00:18:32.650 --> 00:18:35.670
none of this was going on. Things change. I get

00:18:35.670 --> 00:18:38.589
it. But you can't, you know, don't punish somebody

00:18:38.589 --> 00:18:40.569
because they bought a car five years ago when

00:18:40.569 --> 00:18:42.849
Elon was still, you know, hadn't gone quite off

00:18:42.849 --> 00:18:44.569
the deep end yet. Or maybe he always was. We

00:18:44.569 --> 00:18:46.309
just didn't know about it. Point being, these

00:18:46.309 --> 00:18:47.849
people didn't know it when they bought the car.

00:18:48.289 --> 00:18:51.089
We're better than that. You want to protest at

00:18:51.089 --> 00:18:52.789
a dealership, that's one thing. Leave people's

00:18:52.789 --> 00:18:55.690
property alone. Here we are in America with the

00:18:55.690 --> 00:18:57.630
things that are going on. We're going to get

00:18:57.630 --> 00:18:59.750
through it. I'm not saying don't take the gloves

00:18:59.750 --> 00:19:01.049
off every once in a while because I think we're

00:19:01.049 --> 00:19:06.319
going to need to. Stop acting stupid. Scratching

00:19:06.319 --> 00:19:08.640
up somebody's Tesla is dumb. Not to mention,

00:19:08.700 --> 00:19:10.380
those things have all these cameras on them and

00:19:10.380 --> 00:19:13.059
shit. Come on. I would never own a Tesla just

00:19:13.059 --> 00:19:15.480
for the fact that you could be watched at any

00:19:15.480 --> 00:19:17.240
moment. You're sitting there trying to drive

00:19:17.240 --> 00:19:20.140
and scratch your balls and somebody could be

00:19:20.140 --> 00:19:23.940
watching you. I don't want that. Get out in the

00:19:23.940 --> 00:19:26.180
middle of Ohio. The Ohio Turnpike, that thing

00:19:26.180 --> 00:19:28.640
is flat and straight. You got nothing else to

00:19:28.640 --> 00:19:32.130
do. Just sitting there. I used to always pretend

00:19:32.130 --> 00:19:34.430
sometimes when I would be on those things, I'd

00:19:34.430 --> 00:19:37.069
have the cruise control on. Literally, I'd have

00:19:37.069 --> 00:19:39.529
my shoes off cruising along. Nobody around me.

00:19:40.450 --> 00:19:44.430
Just by myself. I would just pretend I was flying

00:19:44.430 --> 00:19:46.430
a plane. That's what I would do. I would just

00:19:46.430 --> 00:19:49.630
pretend like I was Lindbergh flying across the

00:19:49.630 --> 00:19:53.089
Atlantic. If that guy could have done it, I could

00:19:53.089 --> 00:19:55.529
do it. I can get through. I could go from Michigan

00:19:55.529 --> 00:20:00.599
to D .C. in one day. All right. I got to get

00:20:00.599 --> 00:20:02.880
going now. This has been long enough. This one's

00:20:02.880 --> 00:20:05.779
just going to have to come out, whether I like

00:20:05.779 --> 00:20:07.900
it or not, I think. You know what I mean? I think

00:20:07.900 --> 00:20:09.460
it just needs to come out. All right, I got to

00:20:09.460 --> 00:20:11.440
get going. As always, please like, subscribe,

00:20:11.539 --> 00:20:13.940
download. Tell your friends. Don't forget your

00:20:13.940 --> 00:20:16.500
charities, okay? Very important right now. No

00:20:16.500 --> 00:20:19.140
Kid Hungry. That's a great charity. And any of

00:20:19.140 --> 00:20:21.599
these charities are fine, but I encourage you

00:20:21.599 --> 00:20:23.700
to go to them. or any other charities that might

00:20:23.700 --> 00:20:25.480
be in your local community. But some of the ones

00:20:25.480 --> 00:20:27.480
that tend to be more broad, that are more reachable,

00:20:27.579 --> 00:20:30.680
wherever you might be, of course, are No Kid

00:20:30.680 --> 00:20:33.299
Hungry. Many school -aged children are in situations

00:20:33.299 --> 00:20:35.299
where the best meal of the day comes from school.

00:20:35.859 --> 00:20:38.039
So No Kid Hungry helps children with meals when

00:20:38.039 --> 00:20:40.440
children in need are away from school, such as

00:20:40.440 --> 00:20:42.859
weekends and holidays. Wounded Warrior Project,

00:20:43.200 --> 00:20:45.079
the brave men and women who have served our country,

00:20:45.220 --> 00:20:47.400
really truly deserve the best care that we can

00:20:47.400 --> 00:20:49.880
give them after they return home. And some of

00:20:49.880 --> 00:20:52.519
them need extra help getting that done. Some

00:20:52.519 --> 00:20:54.660
of them have wounds that are external and or

00:20:54.660 --> 00:20:57.779
internal that they might need help with, or just

00:20:57.779 --> 00:21:00.960
accessible housing. It's a long list of things

00:21:00.960 --> 00:21:02.779
that can be done, and Wounded Warrior Project

00:21:02.779 --> 00:21:05.880
makes it happen. Woundedwarriorproject .org.

00:21:06.700 --> 00:21:09.319
Bestfriends .org is making a difference by helping

00:21:09.319 --> 00:21:12.019
homeless dogs and cats in shelters be adopted

00:21:12.019 --> 00:21:14.440
faster and in more numbers. Their goal is to

00:21:14.440 --> 00:21:17.460
have the entire country no -kill shelters. Bestfriends

00:21:17.460 --> 00:21:21.549
.org, okay? Like I said, check out those charities.

00:21:21.569 --> 00:21:25.450
Support any of the other ones that might be worthwhile

00:21:25.450 --> 00:21:27.269
in your local community. I don't care what they

00:21:27.269 --> 00:21:30.049
do. Just a little bit of this, a little bit of

00:21:30.049 --> 00:21:32.890
that. Whatever you can do. Not on Twitter anymore.

00:21:33.089 --> 00:21:36.730
So if you go on there, well, I do my comedy thing.

00:21:36.950 --> 00:21:39.309
That's only so I can read some of the stuff that

00:21:39.309 --> 00:21:42.349
I follow. But the podcast handle, whatever thing

00:21:42.349 --> 00:21:45.869
is done. However, Jon D Podcast on Facebook

00:21:45.869 --> 00:21:50.279
or Jon D Podcom. On Instagram, Threads, YouTube.

00:21:50.839 --> 00:21:52.960
This episode was recorded and produced by yours

00:21:52.960 --> 00:21:57.160
truly, Jon D. Miller. Right here in the Amber

00:21:57.160 --> 00:22:01.299
Tree Media studio. No sponsor on the show. So,

00:22:01.380 --> 00:22:06.019
what are you going to do? Oh, somebody was asking

00:22:06.019 --> 00:22:08.079
me about the gift card the other day. Somebody

00:22:08.079 --> 00:22:11.619
sent me a... Yeah, I don't know. Am I still doing

00:22:11.619 --> 00:22:15.900
that? Are we still doing that gift card? What

00:22:15.900 --> 00:22:19.769
do you know? You don't know. Yes, we are. We

00:22:19.769 --> 00:22:22.170
are doing it. Apparently he doesn't pay for anything.

00:22:22.990 --> 00:22:25.089
He just sits there and just doesn't do it. Okay.

00:22:26.829 --> 00:22:28.690
Am I going to do the gift card thing? I guess

00:22:28.690 --> 00:22:30.890
I could. I don't think it did anybody do PBR

00:22:30.890 --> 00:22:33.910
and pork rinds. I don't even remember. It's how

00:22:33.910 --> 00:22:38.069
long ago it was. Did anybody get it? I don't,

00:22:38.069 --> 00:22:39.910
you know, I really don't know. So I'm going to

00:22:39.910 --> 00:22:42.269
go with no, nobody did, but I'm going to say

00:22:42.269 --> 00:22:45.990
that that one is, that one's no more good. I'm

00:22:45.990 --> 00:22:48.140
no good anymore. No, because I'm not going to

00:22:48.140 --> 00:22:50.420
do it now. You didn't do it before. People listened

00:22:50.420 --> 00:22:53.619
to the episode. Not as many as I've had in the

00:22:53.619 --> 00:22:55.839
past, but people listened. My listeners stay

00:22:55.839 --> 00:22:57.759
around. That's awesome. Thank you. But if you

00:22:57.759 --> 00:22:59.599
want to do this one, yes, I'll still do the Amazon

00:22:59.599 --> 00:23:01.700
gift card for this episode. Not the last one.

00:23:01.720 --> 00:23:04.140
Not PBR and pork rinds. Here's what you do. If

00:23:04.140 --> 00:23:07.259
you want to get the $10 Amazon gift card, find

00:23:07.259 --> 00:23:10.059
the title that'll be of the episode. Find it

00:23:10.059 --> 00:23:12.420
the first time it appears, because it's always

00:23:12.420 --> 00:23:14.720
something I say in the episode. Find when it

00:23:14.720 --> 00:23:17.880
is in the episode. Get the minute mark and what

00:23:17.880 --> 00:23:20.440
it is and be at the minute mark and send me an

00:23:20.440 --> 00:23:26.220
email, johndpodcom at gmail .com. Okay, send

00:23:26.220 --> 00:23:28.440
that to me. And if you're the first person to

00:23:28.440 --> 00:23:30.380
do it, I'm not doing 30 of these freaking things.

00:23:30.440 --> 00:23:32.619
Well, or more than that, if everybody did, if

00:23:32.619 --> 00:23:34.220
everybody wrote in, but I'm not doing that. It's

00:23:34.220 --> 00:23:36.519
the first person and you got to trust me on who

00:23:36.519 --> 00:23:38.660
it is. That's how it's going to be. I will give

00:23:38.660 --> 00:23:41.299
you a $10 Amazon gift card. It's easy. I just

00:23:41.299 --> 00:23:43.140
do your email and then I send it and you accept.

00:23:43.950 --> 00:23:46.210
It's easy. Somebody said, can you really do that?

00:23:46.309 --> 00:23:48.549
Are you kidding me? Are you kidding me? With

00:23:48.549 --> 00:23:50.369
all the stuff, the modern technology nowadays.

00:23:50.730 --> 00:23:54.369
Come on. Somebody was saying like, aren't you

00:23:54.369 --> 00:23:56.130
afraid somebody's going to try to scam you? Out

00:23:56.130 --> 00:23:59.210
of $10 from Amazon? I don't fucking, I don't

00:23:59.210 --> 00:24:02.549
think so. You think some, you know what I mean?

00:24:03.039 --> 00:24:05.099
Like somebody in Africa from Nairobi is trying

00:24:05.099 --> 00:24:08.079
to rip me off out of $10 Amazon gift card. And

00:24:08.079 --> 00:24:09.880
you know what? If somebody is in Nairobi and

00:24:09.880 --> 00:24:12.599
they want, they listen and they say, this is

00:24:12.599 --> 00:24:14.140
it and this is the minute. Like if they pass

00:24:14.140 --> 00:24:16.339
all the steps, I don't give a shit who they are.

00:24:16.400 --> 00:24:18.579
I really don't. They could be an evil dictator

00:24:18.579 --> 00:24:21.220
or a wannabe one. Well, okay, maybe not them.

00:24:21.299 --> 00:24:23.240
But you know what I mean? Like it could be, there's

00:24:23.240 --> 00:24:24.940
a big wide range of people that I don't give

00:24:24.940 --> 00:24:27.619
a shit who they are or where they're from. If

00:24:27.619 --> 00:24:30.019
they want the $10 Amazon gift card and they're

00:24:30.019 --> 00:24:32.559
willing to do the steps, they can have it. Because

00:24:32.559 --> 00:24:35.960
I'm just that kind of a person. All right. This

00:24:35.960 --> 00:24:38.319
is going to be a freaking nightmare to edit.

00:24:38.480 --> 00:24:40.859
But I've been working on so many other people's

00:24:40.859 --> 00:24:43.160
stuff. This will be nice. I'll actually get sick

00:24:43.160 --> 00:24:45.920
of hearing myself talk again. I am pretty sure.

00:24:46.000 --> 00:24:48.400
I'm pretty sure that'll happen. So anyways, thanks

00:24:48.400 --> 00:24:50.859
for listening, everybody. Keep the faith. And

00:24:50.859 --> 00:24:53.359
by faith, I mean in yourselves, okay? All right.

00:24:53.420 --> 00:24:56.900
Just do that. Chin up. Be smart. Be resistant.

00:24:57.140 --> 00:25:00.000
And do it wisely. And spread kindness. And that's

00:25:00.000 --> 00:25:01.750
how we're going to deal with it. All right, well,

00:25:01.829 --> 00:25:06.990
that has been episode 72, numero 72 of Jon D

00:25:06.990 --> 00:25:09.069
Podcast. I've been your host, Jon D Miller.

00:25:09.349 --> 00:25:11.250
Thanks for listening, everybody. I'll try to

00:25:11.250 --> 00:25:14.009
be back a lot sooner than I was before. I just

00:25:14.009 --> 00:25:16.269
need some new energy in the show. I'm working

00:25:16.269 --> 00:25:18.470
on it. Thanks, everybody. Take care of yourselves.

00:25:18.690 --> 00:25:20.809
Take care of each other. And until next time,

00:25:20.869 --> 00:25:22.230
later with you.
