00:00:06:00 - 00:00:25:30 Unknown Beam, beam. And you, will you. Hey. Welcome back to toke it Out. How are you guys? How are you today? I hope you guys are well. I am. Amazing. Feeling super good. You know what? Because I battle recorded this episode, so I'm, like, crazy. Yeah, but don't tell me yet, okay? Does not tell me yet. For real? For real. 00:00:25:35 - 00:00:50:29 Unknown But I. I am learning myself with the podcast of like, what I need to do. Like take a sip of water, put on voice isolation. If you if yesterday's if last week's episode was screamy screamy. Sorry, sorry, I don't know. I don't know what to tell you. If that's your water bottle that you left on my last event, I took it so hit me up if you left your and was left there, I don't know. 00:00:50:29 - 00:01:11:49 Unknown I asked how's my home? Everybody? I had come in and they said, no, it's not mine. And I said mine. Now hopefully it wasn't the owners I think so shit. I mean I think it there again when we like, hey, is this year. I just didn't assume it was. Maybe that's I mean that's me and like my narrow limited view because he was a man, I was like, there's no way that this is his. 00:01:11:56 - 00:01:36:59 Unknown Who the fuck do I know? It absolutely could have been so fuck me, right? You know, learning myself in the context of the world, learning myself with this podcast, however it is today, though, I've got a couple things on the agenda. So number one, I want to I have not seen it yet at this point, but by the time this comes out, I definitely will have because I'm sure I'm going to drag my husband to the movies yet again. 00:01:36:59 - 00:01:57:41 Unknown It has been a movie summer. It's been so hot to be outside and I am on these allergy shot rounds, which I can go on and on about how amazing they are, but I don't like. I didn't want to exasperate my allergies when I'm going through these rounds of shots, and I think it's been helping and it's it's been hot as a motherfucker, actually. 00:01:57:41 - 00:02:18:06 Unknown It's actually been so hot all summer. Not sure why scientists check in down below. Let me know why. It's been hot as balls other than climate change. Because I know that. I know that like simple answers, climate change. Long answer down below. Let me know. But so strange harvest the movie. It's a horror movie that has come out and I was. 00:02:18:06 - 00:02:42:17 Unknown I watched the trailer knowing nothing about it, right? And I'm like, I'm so excited for this. This looks really good. And it really good. It looks good enough to see in theaters that that's really what I mean by really good. And so let's stream Travis then. I'm reading the reviews and stuff of Strange Harvest, and people are like, it's riddled with AI, it's riddled with bad AI and obvious AI, and it's not very good. 00:02:42:17 - 00:03:01:35 Unknown And I was like, oh my gosh, I didn't even realize it was an AI movie movie. And maybe they are in the trailers, obviously showing the best parts of the movie. So maybe these people have an insight I don't have, but let's look this up together. Strange Harvest I'm going to read. Yeah, the plot to it. It looks scary, you know what I mean? 00:03:01:35 - 00:03:28:06 Unknown Like, it looks spooky and it's got good reviews on Rotten Tomatoes, detective. So thrust into a chilling hunt for Mr. Shiny, a sadistic serial killer from the past whose return marks the beginning of a new wave of grotesque, otherworldly crimes tied to his dark cosmic force. It's out now. It's rated R, okay, so it seems like. Right. Okay, Rotten Tomatoes, obviously the critics are giving a 92. 00:03:28:08 - 00:03:55:14 Unknown I'm really surprised that there is not any popcorn meter yet. Offer $15 to watch a shitty copy of Dateline with a cringe acting pass. So we give it a half a star. Strange harvest one half a star. I went in blind for the 92% on Rotten Tomatoes and thought, maybe there's something here. Nope, I was kind. What I got was a limp, faux documentary slog, slog slog. 00:03:55:19 - 00:04:27:07 Unknown An over inflated, undercooked mess that thinks aping Forensic Files and Dateline for substitute is for suspense. It isn't aping them. Is that missing a letter? Because AP ING thinks even in Forensic files and Dateline is a substitute for suspense. It isn't. This is a film that mistakes flat talking heads and endless filler for atmosphere, dragging itself along until you can practically hear it wheezing. 00:04:27:12 - 00:04:48:50 Unknown There's no tension, no mystery worth caring about, and certainly no horror, just a limp parade of bad choices stitched together like an uninspired term project. I'll throw it a pity half sorry for pointing a camera at something, and honestly, the filmmakers would be doing the world a favor by finding the original negative and feeding it through a wood chipper. 00:04:49:02 - 00:05:11:40 Unknown Strange harvest doesn't miss the mark. It's not even on the same range. Skip it, burn it, forget it even existed. Damn, Leon. Leon, you are a hard. That's hard. That's. That's really. That's tough. That's you. You kind of read this thing to film. Didn't you read it to filth, right? And in some ways, like I left and five stars from Kyle. 00:05:11:40 - 00:05:35:38 Unknown Of course. Kyle. Sorry. Kyle's out there. It's. There's nothing against it. Kyle I love my community type movies. These were up. Did I write this script? Acting was equally horrendous. So turns out people hated it. Is it? Did people hate it because it was. I or did people hate it? Obviously. Like this one guy goes on and on about how it just like, wasn't a good movie and whatever. 00:05:35:38 - 00:06:03:25 Unknown So but other people are like, love it, love it, love him. Hilariously and said satirically fun as well as grotesque in body horror. Entertaining. Worth the watch. Okay, so it's going to be like a slasher film. Body horror. Okay, body horror is like the substance is like together. Body horror, like slasher movies and stuff like Terrifier and stuff are like those kind of movies of, like, how many different ways can we kill somebody? 00:06:03:34 - 00:06:24:01 Unknown Okay, so you already know that we have to look to see if there's any good crumble cookie reviews this week. I didn't look this up beforehand. Okay? I don't know what week it is, but seems like many will say this cookie is too rich. Hell, who are the people? Damn nothing so far these are all genuine. Give me something that's like. 00:06:24:12 - 00:06:46:49 Unknown It's like, put it in my pussy. I can't get enough fresh people over stream made from Grinch. You remember that one KFC had the, What was it the, like, plant based nuggets or whatever? They were actually fires or whatever. But the Colonel, whatever the I Colonel, the voice, whatever he got, it was made from bleach. So that's what I like every time. 00:06:46:55 - 00:07:08:19 Unknown Anyways, that's I just say that about anything. It's like it's made from a delicious platter. It's all just like vegetables and fruits where I'm like me from. Great. So it's my little, little thing from me to you. So this is a lime ice iceberg cookie. This key lime guys. These. So for real. With that I need I will be sending this to my house. 00:07:08:29 - 00:07:33:34 Unknown I will be sending this cookie to my husband. But as of the week of August 11th, there's no good cookie reviews. Somebody go change that. Somebody put I've, I saw I touch the face of God when I ate this cookie like something. Give me something crazy, okay? Please, please. Do you think they'd let that did crumble. Find out about my, like, read of their reviews. 00:07:33:39 - 00:07:51:37 Unknown And now they've taken them down. And why did it not go viral? I'm just kidding. I'm just kidding. Oh, you guys, we've talked about nothing for 20 minutes. It's it's really good. It's really good keeping it on track. It's awesome. You know what? I'm really excited about you guys. And September is going to be huge for me. You know why? 00:07:51:37 - 00:08:24:00 Unknown Because that's when. And granted, spooky season has started in spirit. But in like reality baby September floodgates are loose. October. It's like I'm already drowning and I'm loving it so. But I am a going to be 32 year old woman. Really, really excited for the please hold your hold your laughter. The gargoyle from Build-A-Bear. The the Build-A-Bear gargoyle. 00:08:24:05 - 00:08:46:10 Unknown You're lying. It's so cute. It looks like a little sky puppy. Have I talked about it before in here? Not sure. Don't care. It's awesome. And I hesitate to even bring it up because I don't want any of you bitches getting it before me, I need it, I need unstuck, I need to go. I need to have my process with him. 00:08:46:10 - 00:09:07:20 Unknown I need to make it, and he needs to sit on my shelf. Do I collect stuffed animals? No. Do I do I have a huge collection of them? No. We got ghosty here. That's about it. He's a pillow. But the gargoyle Build-A-Bear is. So I think I'm going put a bridge up here. And don't even get me started on the Mothman one. 00:09:07:20 - 00:09:29:58 Unknown Now you can buy the giant Mothman right now for like, I think it's like 130 bucks, but the regular sized Mothman has been sold out for a while, and I want I think they're going to come out with a cryptid line. So I did look up and I took the liberty of looking it up beforehand, because I was already very curious what their like Halloween collection is, because it's already like highlighted on their website. 00:09:30:03 - 00:09:54:01 Unknown My locked into the Build-A-Bear website. I don't know you guys. I don't fucking know. Okay, leave me alone pose. I thought it said passable bat. I was like, I'm pretty sure that bat is passable. Oh my God, there's a kitty and he's got ghosts on him and he's got a bow. And then there's a candy bar that's black and white, and then there's a bat, and then there's a kitty with pumpkins on it, and then there's a ocelot with the eye missing. 00:09:54:01 - 00:10:13:41 Unknown That's kind of cool. And there's a naked bat. Put some clothes on him, I whatever, but to be honest, nothing's going to top that gargoyle. And it said it was coming back in stock and I have been waiting. I can't tell you year and a half year and a half for this. I want it, I need it, I want it, I want to have it, and I want to like, touch them. 00:10:13:42 - 00:10:40:21 Unknown So capitalism, consumerism has got me on a chokehold with that one, folks. An absolute chokehold. But because there's a lot of things and I didn't even, like get half of the things last time, there's a ton of stuff on here. Most anticipated the week, though, is holy goodness. My most anticipated of the week is coming to bingo. But guys, I need you guys to find out where there's bingo in your area, but you need to go to it. 00:10:40:26 - 00:11:08:27 Unknown Bingo is so fun. There's a place in Detroit that does bingo and it's in the country's oldest bowling alley. I guess this bowling alley has been around since, like 1912. Looking it up. Hold on. Like 19 1319 1316 Lane bowling alley, built in 1913, features live DJ and glow in the dark lanes. Very cool. But they do, not Trivia bingo every Monday night. 00:11:08:34 - 00:11:32:24 Unknown I am super into that. So that's my recommendation. We're going to get that out of the way early, but before get it before bingo. Before we get to the next thing, I wanted to tell you all that I have been thinking deeply about masked musicians, deeply about them. Sleep token, spark, master tape, Slipknot. I've been thinking so deeply about them. 00:11:32:29 - 00:11:52:35 Unknown And what is the. Why would they do that? Like, why are we? Is it because they just don't want to have the celebrity of it, but they want to create and they want to put their stuff out there and it's being received like that. Do you go into making but do you go into it with that idea? Like, what if me and my me and my buddies, you know, we all play instruments. 00:11:52:35 - 00:12:15:29 Unknown We want to start a band. Do we start with mask on, you know, are you mask on or are you like future? You mask off, you know. Oh, how could I forget Orville Peck, you know. Wow. There is like, a lot of people who have actually, like, I guess you could argue that the band kiss also was like, masked because they had such intense clown makeup on their ICP. 00:12:15:34 - 00:12:38:20 Unknown But those people weren't, like, hiding when the makeup was off, you know what I mean? And it's not like, you know, they were were they doing interviews with makeup off? I don't know. Okay. Jerry Lott or the Phantom in the 1950s, not adopted the stage name The Phantom and performed wearing a mask, making him a notable early example of a masked musician. 00:12:38:20 - 00:13:09:58 Unknown According to melodic magazine. And we have Arthur Brown. Well, not necessarily a mask in the traditional sense. Arthur Brown was known for his flamboyant stage presence, including theatrical face paint and even a burning helmet, which he wore in the 1960s as Cora then obviously kiss the residents, the avant garde collective formed in 1969, adopted their signature eyeball mask, what in 1979, solidifying their unique visual identity and contributing to the trend of masked musicians. 00:13:10:02 - 00:13:35:54 Unknown Oh, what what what? This is a band. Oh, wow. That's crazy. You guys. Did you guys know about the resident? Whoa, this is cool as fuck. Okay, now, was it just this one eyeball mask on the cover? Did they always wear this because their other albums are not masked, but their faces are, like, distorted and stuff? Okay. 00:13:35:54 - 00:13:59:41 Unknown What the fuck? Interesting. Did they always wear the mask? The residents. Did they always do that? No. The residents in our collective, known for their avant garde music, consistently wear masks, but not always the same ones. Okay, well, they're famous giant eyeball ones are crazy. They look like some Salvador Dali shit. Like, I'm not. I'm not even joking. 00:13:59:41 - 00:14:24:11 Unknown It looks crazy. YouTubers. You can see this. Audio listeners they are these like basically just like giant disembodied eyeballs without like, you know, the veins and the optic nerve and stuff. But just like in their different color irises, whatever that part is. Your pupil, I don't know. Yeah. Your iris. Yes. Very, very cool, very neat. Not sure how they did that. 00:14:24:16 - 00:14:50:29 Unknown Whatever. But why do people do that? Why do and like I know the obvious answer. Well and I know the obvious answer is like they want the privacy. They don't want the attention. They want their normality outside of their creative lifestyle. But but like, I mean even goes like he does. And I don't know if Tobias is the lead singer is like doing something. 00:14:50:34 - 00:15:09:28 Unknown He's always in this different character, you know. Is that becoming more popular? Daft punk dude, there's so many. Oh my God, there are so many actually, that wear mask. I was just thinking of like the few, because I've really been listening to a lot of Spark Master tape. If you guys are into rap and stuff, I think he's Canadian. 00:15:09:28 - 00:15:30:21 Unknown I'm gonna look that up. But I think, okay, Spark Master Tape does like he basically looks like he's on drugs. Think like that's his mask that he wears. I don't know, does he? I think he's white too. And I think he uses voice like distort or like that makes your voice a little bit lower and it sounds good and whatever. 00:15:30:21 - 00:15:59:58 Unknown It's not like overly done. But let's see Larry King who is Spark master tape? Spark master tape is the pseudonym for of an anonymous rapper, so people don't know who he is. Oh that's cool. Let's see. Spark master tape not canceled. Comedian. We'll see. Canceled though. Please is not Canadian. He's American okay. He's American. Is he canceled? Because if he is, this is gonna be such a waste of time. 00:16:00:03 - 00:16:20:36 Unknown Oh, they're talking about his concert speech and talking about his concerts being canceled. Not him. Okay, no, I mean, how would you know? An anonymous rapper? You don't know who he is. Maybe he should be, but I don't know. As of this moment in time, I'm really listening to a lot of it. It gives me run the Jewel vibes. 00:16:20:36 - 00:16:39:35 Unknown Kind of like back in the day, run the Jewel vibes, but I really like Woodchuck and Stand By. So if you are interested in that, go listen to Spark Master Tape. Yeah, his music is really hard. I'm like, go listen to Spark Master Tape after I'm talking about the Build-A-Bear gargoyle, you guys get you a bitch. I can do both. 00:16:39:48 - 00:16:59:50 Unknown It's crazy, it's crazy. Why am I like this? Okay, the reason I am recording is because I'm really hyper focused on my event coming up in September. It is the second event of this year that we're doing crazy, that we're doing a second event. I'm kind of like, oh, maybe next year we do one. But it is. It's going so well. 00:16:59:50 - 00:17:16:58 Unknown You guys, like people love the idea. People want to come like, I'm so happy. Let me know. Would you prefer a salty snack or a sweet snack if I were to like, go into a disco and give you guys, like, a gift, what would you like? A salty or sweet snack like donuts or pretzels or pizza? Like what is. 00:17:17:07 - 00:17:39:21 Unknown What's the ultimate thing? A wrap? But somebody's bringing something that I want you to sign up for. What kind of treat do the bartenders want? Let me know. Like comment below. I actually am very curious. Let me know. But I think I'm going to end up bringing Krispy Kreme donuts. Or like pretzels or popcorn. So we'll see. Fingers crossed. 00:17:39:30 - 00:18:05:45 Unknown Okay, so back to musicians wearing masks. I guess musicians wear masks for a variety of reasons, including performance, identity, and creative expression. Some use masks to create a unique persona, enhancing the theatricality, the act or quality of their performances or protect their identity. Masks can be a form of self-expression, while musicians design them to reflect their personal style or music. 00:18:05:52 - 00:18:29:58 Unknown Yeah, okay. I mean, I guess those are all like, really like it's a gimmick. You're creating a persona, it's a visual experience. Like, okay, you know, anonymity, creative expression. Okay. So I get it. Very cool that it dates back all the way to the 50s because I really, truly was like, who's like the oldest one that I can think of personally and not thinking of face paint as a mask as a father. 00:18:29:58 - 00:18:46:59 Unknown Second, think back as like Slipknot, which is my limited mind. So I know, like music, music, people out there everywhere like, oh, fucking what? How do you not know about blah blah blah, but you learn something new every day here on Talk It Out. So don't listen to some of that music. That's my recommendation of the week. Also, did I hear any give you guys one? 00:18:47:04 - 00:19:15:34 Unknown I don't know. Or go listen to some of those Masked musicians and see if they if they give you something different than other musicians like The Residents or Orville Peck or I mean, even kiss goes like sleep token to those people. Compare them to unmasked people in their same genre that you might enjoy as well. Because obviously, if you're not going to enjoy Spark Master tape, if you're more of an Orville Peck fan, you know, but not that you couldn't. 00:19:15:34 - 00:19:32:41 Unknown So let me know what you guys think. Does it add something? Is there another layer of like, freedom that they're expressing that you're hearing? So you guys listen, we only have a little bit of time left. They have enough time to. This week is going to be a little bit short. I give you guys a long one last week. 00:19:32:44 - 00:19:49:50 Unknown Twins can be a little bit short. But we got to we're going to get it rolling okay. We're going back getting back into things okay. So we'll be long a little bit whatever. But one more thing I wanted to talk about. This is okay, this one will be short enough to know what the national animal of Scotland is. 00:19:49:55 - 00:20:14:45 Unknown The national animal of Scotland is a unicorn. What? Why? Like, I'm not sure where I actually heard that originally, but as somebody with, like, a unicorn tattoo on her, I like My Little Pony. Yeah. Anybody really surprised? I'm looking at Build-A-Bear and get the fucking My Little Pony thing on me. But I ask things like Yoda to Google anybody else, do you that I'm like National Scotland animal. 00:20:14:45 - 00:20:37:07 Unknown Why? Like, the unicorn is the national animal of Scotland due to its symbolism of purity in the sense power and freedom, which are consistent to reflect Scotland's values and spirit. It has been a significant symbol of Scottish history and folklore for centuries, appearing on the royal coat of arms since the 12th century. Coins are real right? Unicorns are real, right? 00:20:37:19 - 00:21:03:28 Unknown Unicorns and dragons are real, right? I think that they're hiding it from me. I think that they're hiding magic from the skies. And just saying. Okay, I know that sounds crazy. I know I am crazy, I'm not going into psychosis like the lady falling in love with her psychiatrist and then going about creating a cult, basically from I ChatGPT, what are you doing to, like, take this poor woman down, calling her a monarch? 00:21:03:28 - 00:21:27:37 Unknown This is. Please, you're not all over TikTok listening to this lady's story. I don't know if it's by now. It's come out. It's like a hoax or real or she's already started a cult, or she's doing something crazy publicly, I don't know, but yeah, and that's actually a really scary example of AI psychosis. And it's not funny. It's just like shocking, to be honest. 00:21:27:37 - 00:21:53:38 Unknown And I can do nothing but laugh when I'm shocked because I'm like, what? Like I just, like, can't actually comprehend that sometimes. Okay, back to back to real life, which is the Scottish unicorn. Okay. Symbolism. The unicorn in Celtic mythology and beyond is associated with purity, innocence and strength. It also represents power, ferocity, chivalry and pride. These traits resonate with people and their values. 00:21:53:52 - 00:22:22:19 Unknown My mother is actually a first, first generation American from Scotland. My grandparents are full Scottish. I'm very Scottish, so I think it's very neat that I got the unicorn tattoo. Granted, it's My Little Pony tattoo, but like, it's I. I resonated with the unicorn more than some of the others. Maybe it's just it's in my blood, I don't know, is that a Scottish accent was supposed to be royal symbolism in legend, the unicorn is a powerful, untamed creature. 00:22:22:19 - 00:22:44:58 Unknown Yes, and only a king, particularly one of great power containment. This was used to symbolize the strength and authority of the Scottish monarch, particularly King William the First, also known as William the Lion in the 12th century, who adopted the unicorn on the Scottish royal coat of arms. So was he the king? And things were crazy, like he was crazy and he was like, it's a unicorn. 00:22:44:58 - 00:23:02:28 Unknown And they're like, no, sir, that's a horse. And they're like, it's a unicorn. They're like, just let them do it. Just just let the lion do it. You know? He's going to bite you. That's that could be a whole thing I look into or somebody. The royal coat of arms in particular, features a unicorn and a line representing the Union of Scotland and England. 00:23:02:32 - 00:23:26:56 Unknown Historical significance. The unicorns image has been used in various forms of art, literature, culture, expression, solidifying its place in the same as the symbol of Scotland. It also holds a place in folklore and legends, contributing to its enduring appeal. Yeah, so I guess it's been around since the 12th century. I really thought this was going to be like in 1973, one small town decided, maybe the unicorn could be the national anthem of Scotland. 00:23:26:56 - 00:23:47:40 Unknown And then it was, you know how like people like, vote for Cat to be like the mayor of a town or like to run the library or whatever? I thought it was going to be some shit like that. Not like some 12th century ancient legend, like king stuff. That's very cool. That's way cooler. So C do not say you don't learn anything on this podcast. 00:23:47:40 - 00:24:06:22 Unknown This podcast is for smart stoners. Smart stoners only. I'm saying you guys get it. Yes. I'm saying you guys like it. I know you do. So anyways, like I said, this episode is going to be a little bit shorter. But if you're missing me, don't worry, go watch next week's up or next week's not next week. Do not go to the future. 00:24:06:26 - 00:24:29:17 Unknown Go watch last week's episode. What did I talk about? Even I recorded it. What did I talk about? Oh my God, I'm literally blank. I don't remember anything. You talked about. Go watch last week's episode where I lay out some other recession indicators because, you know, shit is crazy. I don't know, I feel like I hear a squirrel on my porch maybe fighting the cat, my outdoor cat. 00:24:29:22 - 00:24:33:40 Unknown Okay, tell you where I'm go. About me. Love you all. I see you next week. BYE!
