second 2016 welcome back to the 44 show my name is Jeff Bakalar across the way for me back from his Nordic adventure tan and supple and muscled for my Nordic adventure he's gained at least 30 pounds its Russell rustic hello everybody in between us longtime friend the legacy the myth the legend Justin you what's up buddy hey welcome back welcome back Justin thanks for being here thank you I know I whenever I invite you on it's a spur-of-the-moment kind of stuff so I really appreciate you having that sort of spontaneity yeah where you're like you know what it's friday i'm in a good mood i'm gonna do it yeah he's walking like a Hawaiian shirt and flip flops yeah just in the loose Jimmy Buffett's diets cheeseburger in paradise it's always cheeseburgers and a few is it that is what's new in your life what are you up to I'm waging war at home right now oh yeah it's bad you guys on the rocks no not me and penis no that's okay everything over there is fine i'm talking about a mouse in the house oh no yeah yeah like i love your house hunt yeah dude I'm not in a really bad problem is it one mouse or is it several matches well you know what I thought it was one up until a month ago and then I saw another one he's got friends but we got one of them and the other is just I don't know this guy's so smart called the search party he we've tried several different types of traps you know where he's made out of yeah I think he's behind the stove have you moved the stove oh yeah and he just I don't know we can't actually find where he lives we've patched up all the holes in the house tried all these different kinds of traps the one that we SAT set last night I really gotta show you guys a picture of this and I'll describe it as i'm showing you so we rigged up a I is it like a bathtub and the Marvel goes down a track yeah yeah basically almost like that it's literally like a mousetrap from Gordian yeah yeah so it's a bucket right I with a wire hanger stretched across it okay and then there's a can that we poked a hole through so that it fits onto the wire that goes across the bucket right then we slathered the can with peanut butter and then made the outside of the car oh I say right the can is hollow obviously okay so and then we put a ramp up like a song for you there's no spring oh no I mean like is that like where he's supposed to run up and jump yeah yeah yeah so he so the idea is that the mouse will run up the ramp and he'll see the can with all that peanut butter on it try to get up onto the can and when he does he falls into the bucket right what that's a bucket yeah but what mice can get out of buckets not if it's filled with cyanide not if it's filled with the acid hydrochloric gonna see like it I'm gonna see just a mouse skeleton is oh well it's filled with water which is not much worse yeah freakin real yeah yeah put it like a vat of peanut butter in there so you eat themselves your bet you I love it it's like oh come have some tasty delightful peanut butter death yeah and then we put little morsels of peanut butter leading up to the top where did you look like where did you read how to do this I mean I had to really consult a lot of hacks online really is that we tried all these different type of date we've tried uh you know like raw meat we've tried a duck fatter a peanut butter regularly as you have you tried cleaning the house hahahaha that's pretty good hey come on that's not man that's after the budget after the body will just get a maid I'm gonna move out first before that happen that's not a bad joke yeah we tried that we tried putting all of our food is in these uh like Tupperware containers that are sealed and it's just driving us crazy because we could see little mouse droppings on our stove make people want to come over and hang out by the way you guys are invited over to do yeah yeah free can obviously get over there it's a nightmare man yeah that's bad and you hear it skittering no that's something a phantom okay and you know we started off trying to do the humane traps yeah but once I like just you know you know put them inside then we release them out there no no what this guy did okay well can you just coat no kidding the entire floor with like sticky traps might do that entirely and then have like a Tarzan pulley toy across totally do that I got show you guys pictures of the mouse that we got oh I don't did you kill them all oh I don't want to oh yeah I don't want to see that what how did that one died because we used those uh classic traps for the favorite rapper i know the neckbreaker you said it and it's like my god yeah because you snap the things neck and it's just like I guess that's more humane than Jay browning who there were signs of struggle oh because I put it on one side of the room and he flailed and then it made this sound when I played I wait you wait you peeled what off oh he's doing it why don't you just pick up the whole trap and throw it away I tried but it was stuck to the ground it was stuck to the linoleum oh that is the blood hey guys forever that's so very lucky we have not we had one right when we were moving in the apartment was empty we moved in about a year ago part was completely empty probably empty for about six months and we found one like medium sized roach in one of the bathroom oh no see and I was like this is not a disaster I was really worried what would you rather have a rotor amount come on that's definitely a mouse yeah definitely absolutely control it with the mouse can have come in the millions yeah and like they multiply home and many were just fly by the way yeah I realized where I read an article that said that roaches fly but in the summertime so it's humid they'll fly from higher ground to lower ground because they've earned their wings yay they evolved uh so we found that one yeah and but as we were so we were like gonna beat we're slowly moving stuff in and there was a chart to like sign up for an exterminator in the elevator yeah so we signed up for that and then we didn't move in for another like four days and it's been a year and I have not seen a single significant bugs interesting like a look at why yeah all right let's ooh sounds like you're in the clear for yeah I think we're good wait so we got took more would you hear bleep you know what the best I do hear me what the oh it Scott's family is here that's hot Oh Jim the mic oh cool that's great let's have more babies you know what the best weapon to protect yourself against insects in your home is hmm a dyson vacuum oh just suck them right out the bed yeah but then we have to end early under 6 feet ball 2 or 6 feet long the bugs are 6 feet long the boxes of via the vacuum 6 belongs with the whole hog hunt super long it's the best you don't have to take it at all you do have to empty it but it's just one button that guy straight yeah I got a Dyson um what are they the little dust dust buster yeah the wedding and it was a nice nice asset wait okay so let's go back to the mouse think so you're still in active pursuit oh yeah so listen to this okay this is gonna gross even more people at me people I don't know this about me when I was in college when i was in college i was in a very shitty apartment in baltimore um again let me highlight the words very and shitty yes a Baltimore well I mean those are two interchangeable terms my good friend anyway I live with two other friends of mine and we were not the clean the cleanliness of men as most college boys are not its it was disgusting we never cleaned it was filthy our kitchen was a disaster and we had always heard that the complex that we were in was notorious for mice yet we did not take any preventive measures to do that so anyway we're there for a year and we ain't seen one might mess and I'm like hey well this modest mouse remember is a bunch of hooey sure because you've never seen one God and then they arrive ratatouille stuff to the point where like we just had to coexist he was there was no getting rid of them like they had moved in silently in the night and it was like they made a trailer park yeah like there was a bunch of them in the kitchen they clearly like knew what was up and they're like you guys haven't done like week we infiltrate really really uh terrible apartments and this one was by far the easiest so we had to just live with them uh and I just live with like there was one that would always go in my room here 20 you just I don't know right now I wouldn't stand for that but when you're 20 you're kind of just like I now this happened yeah you're like whatever I got a pet yeah you know and the thing was kind of cute it was a field mouse it wasn't like yes a city mouse so I saw this very cute little yeah yeah and I'm like oh hail i named it Larry and we live together yeah you passing out every night anyway it's not cause right come on leave it in your mouth come on that is a very good visual I love it the aryans so all right so the rodent discussion aside Ross rustic you are back down iceland iceland that's great how was it not as cold or i see as the name might imply yeah i was expecting cold weather throughout I mean it's not a warm place but yeah so it was like 6 55 60 Wow umm we were very lucky very little rain but it is like if you live in New York City in August to really most places in August you're just miserable and sticky and it's gross to talk it was like being an entire country that's air-conditioned just like such as a life like it feels like it felt like this going outside like in this room that is air-conditioned i like nice that is the best description of a place I've ever heard it was really for me Jeff yeah perfect perfect Jeff weather um yes it's really terrific we did all the like typical you know whale watching horseback riding we went to an ice cave um so like what do you do like is that what you do there yes so this I think there's a few ways you can do ISIL and obviously big it's not a big place so there's only three hundred thousand people in the whole country that's to give you just a frame of reference so Reykjavik is the city everyone hears about there's only a hundred thousand ish people in Reykjavik the town I grew up in had 30,000 people yeah the second largest city in Iceland has 30,000 like that's it's tiny so the second that you get out of Reykjavik is just like you're in a nuclear wasteland like I'm nuclear well cuz its volcanic so you just have these like large expanses of just like black step rock and sand and it looks like the moon they actually trained the astronauts the Apollo astronauts in Iceland trained them to how to do like walking around on the moon so they were in full space suits before they went out in the 60s walking around iceland because it mimicked the moon so close huh so how old is the island then uh so it's I by years I don't actually know but it is the youngest country on the plant it's you know very very old still sure but compared to anywhere else it's it's very new because it's all volcanic so so none of the trees are like higher than four feet huh cuz you need I think it's 2,000 years after a volcanic eruption is the soonest that things can start growing wow so it kind of gives you an idea and they still have I mean there's tons of active volcanoes still around so thank you you know he still is it an issue they're like no so I was talking to a guy you might remember a few years back the like big one died was a lot more was that nicely that was a nice it was 2010 that's the more like 40 letters in its name yes yeah I don't I I was there not two weeks and I had no idea how to pronounce it but so it went off and basically disrupted worldwide airtran because of the ash is flying the air and if you fly through that in a plane it does pretty bad things to the plane but in Iceland they said hardly any impact whatsoever because it drifted away it just like yeah and there was no like lava flow that was totally destroying it iceland just like crop dusted the planet they did and that was it yeah so and and there are very laid-back people a very chill like everyone I met was like very friendly everyone speaks English which is nice no taping which I well it's not just I slide out but I great the only reason why us what's way experiment it is very expensive so it definitely i got the convenient she look like okay back it up real quick good kid we can't say that like we can't go and be like there was no tipping it will you ready you understand the contractors stay in the kind of a meet let me clarify i'm just sayin like that's not something that I would release Thursday let me clarify and you should for the record twice I love honestly I think it's saying so with it even on the air there were no tipping it's it's such an asset so everything is very expensive there to give you an idea price-wise it the way I comparison like helping new you I know New York plus like thirty percent so it's very expensive there yeah um but all like how it is in most of the world all of the prices factor in the the salary of the employees over a waitress so its relative so you do not have to do like ten percent math or whatever you don't have to carry around cash I use the credit card everywhere but did you get rammed in the like for some over the course of two weeks I probably had a hundred hours alright whatever it was not significant right so but it's just like there's a huge convenience factor to just like not having to worry about i constantly go to the bank and ATM and changing stuff if i could live in a world that was like like in New York we're starting to see some restaurants that are getting rid of tipping and just factoring in that fifteen or twenty percent to what they into what in the feed to the pros yeah and every time I go to the restaurants I'm thrilled because it's like oh I don't have to do man I know exactly what this is gonna cost me and it's good for the employees they don't have to like write whatever and I felt like the service was terrible and Iceland it was very nice people are friendly so I loved it uh you know what's and tipping guys enough Erick I'm with you we for whatever reason we are like the weirdest country when it comes to tipping like the culture the tipping culture that yet devised is is like you know it's just it feels like a like you're trying to pull the well like wool over someone's eyes and tell you how much money or so it's not even that to like it goes beyond that and this will take us away from Iceland for a second but like there's a like when I explain tipping to like you know when I go to the airport and the guy who grabs my bags if I do like herbst I checked and I'll give my two bucks right that is crazy like the whole notion of what we do with tipping and why we just give people money for kind of no reason is very weird and and from as far as i understand it exclusive to the two American culture well it's also weird that like a lot of salaries I don't think the bad guy essa Sara Lee has this factor to salaries but like certainly a waiter salary is determined by totally totally it would not be they would not be paid legal wage I think their hourly is like less than one hour something like that but you factor in the tipping and then it like works out right such such a pain yes ok back to Iceland you to get to see the Northern Lights because it's not wrong time of year for Northern Lights but it was it got dark no joke the Sun went down we stayed up one night because we just kept passing out at eleven thirty at night these are my song is when the Sun went down in you know August work earlier um it should and it's great because you get like the full day and you don't you know you're not worried about the you know missing the light and driving around that's gonna play hell with your internal clock though it wasn't that bad all the all the houses have blackout curtains rise in July it's 24 hours something like the Sun never Joe how how many hours of darkness were there really probably when you were there like a true knight probably about three hours wow that's cool but the rest is like Twilight and then fold that starting it very early I do want just take for a minute and try to picture me on a horse galloping on a horse cuz I've only done it twice and this was the first time I'd ever actually galloped so when when I picture you all hundred twenty pounds you yeah bobbing up and down on a horse I just see all your bones shatter it was one of them at one of the most painful he could only rude all he was walking funny I'm like well why are you walking funny yeah it's just like I don't know not a lot of padding on the bun oh I dare say here's the question I have a gud horseback riding and and horse experts call in and let us know couldn't you just have like a horse up saddle that's like seventeen inches of memory foam padding I don't I think you could why not because then you'd be too high up yeah I don't you can t I have you know cuz it would you would sink in a little bit no no no you can you can ride it like a camel with like a really long way that is not what you can do you could wear cycling shorts with padding like a panda I guarantee you there's solutions for this yeah we're also supposed to stand up while you're galloping so you're actually using your legs it's like a spring material not shatter yeah I have a very bony butt as you'd imagine and it was just it was pretty not only that brought so I borrowed a camera with me like a nice 5d canon camera and I brought it on the horseback ride and the guide kept being like hey you guys want to gallop and I was like the first time I was like sure and then the first time so I have the camera strapped to me unlike whatever strapped but the second the horse starts going the cameras flips like behind me and starts like lifting off by back-ended slamming into my back if like a like a wrecking ball by the end of it I had a bruise like a significant bruise on my back from this I mean the cameras like can you do anything in order to do so I think I'm designed to be I think I'm mr. glass from you are you are it used to be you yeah good you guys George problem is I just don't know to not do things so I'd say yes to a lot of stuff that I know is gonna hurt these are skinny guy problems I said Kenny got problems I know that's what I'm is that what this wasn't living well I was going to mention i actually did put it in the rundown I don't know about you Justin but I do want to note when you pass like a skinny guy on the street do you like think about like my keys my man like we share a common pretty buddy a common level here like I feel your pain like I've under sound like we sorta understand what cuz everyones like hey why don't you eat some more like oh yeah right right right so like you have a lot of a sec you a lot of people tell this to my girlfriend to which i think is kind of a fail watch your feet of Bray something like that yeah yeah and I like roll my eyes it's like stupid oh my amigos no I like him skill yeah yeah I did one thing she does not like him skinny she says that cuddling with me is like sleeping next to a bag of remote control just a big sack of remotes just a bunch of twigs about the adventure just javits ER in the side all that quarters just imagine sleeping on the corner of a textbook oh no hahaha she loves it you like tip your head like I don't do that man but I do i do I think about it too desire I mean I don't like Nessa I don't make eye contact or anything like that but I do think like it's somewhat unheralded cuz like obviously like you can't walk down or whatever no one's gonna come up to like a fat person if you like stop eating fatty right but like you're not wrong right there's similar things it's kind of just like a standard that no one's really well the other thing too is that the the biggest problem with skinny guy issues that you know most people aren't afraid to point out your what they consider to not be necessarily like a physical right but here's the thing that I don't have I'm not self-conscious about it or no I don't care what any time somebody comments on your body it's kind of awkward right you know it's just that no one would be like whoa yeah look an extra big today well that's the thing to write like yours if you're skinny people no one sees that as bad right right i think that no no meant a right now look the way someone who's obese is like you're gonna die if you don't lose weight yeah uh you know I don't think the polar opposite is true about being skinny and you guys for the record are not overly skin I'm pretty scary for us is like honey we're both it's not black and all too so its a linking my parents tried to force feed me ice cream as a kid now before speed like hold me down but like they were like I haven't weighed myself in a while but probably 140 yes I was gonna say do I weigh more than the both of you know jump on yeah okay so you see another skinny guy you go I'll see you gaining yes to me right and there you go hold on it's gonna be windy today like Scoob awaits that you put on it is a great update watch it big great coming up pretty good guys the problem is that you can't complain about skinny guy problems cuz nobody wants to right no one's here right yeah I want to go eat something yeah exactly that is very funny oh man I needed that you do that on this friday so anything else before we uh pause for a break here I was gonna go to Iceland I you know eyes into a hot spring I I got into hot the Blue Lagoon is like the big one that's like the famous ones i weel chemically i went into an exploitive which was like the coolest effing oh I get it was cool it was yes very cool super not for the claustrophobic very kind of terrifying there okay like we should like run again how caverns like we did I know it was far more tight and dark and it was not tour like touristy at all you hike for like an hour and then you go into a literal k there's no lighting and you've got like headlamps and it's it's honestly it's like being birthed you have to like ramble through this well I don't know if I can do is intense very cool very cool alright very good recommend it do you have a you have a gallery of the photos you took somewhere publicly no care that you share the sheep poop oh I will yeah I took a pic yeah picture well she faked it dump can we can you send me that cuz I'll have a post that yeah what took this majestic photo of a bush is a sheep the answer sheet of a sheep pooping but he caught the photo like mid poop like the poop was falling falling it's an amazing the she must have been sheared recently because there was you would think that it get caught up in some of that wool oh I do I sorry before we take a break i do want to mention one thing since you mentioned it yeah so they do have a whole process for collecting sheep and cheering them every year as their big industry there there's a million sheets all they got is just no she um so they were talking about the sheep and they're like well you don't have to worry about like what i was asking like are they all marked and they're like yeah everybody vol got tags and branding and stuff and I was like what about the baby sheep that are born throughout the year because they essentially let them run you mean I'll be right vo sure um and then they're like oh no no no baby sheep because the it's just females out there the male's stay locked inside wow so you can't have like random cheap matingly oh gotcha but then I thought I've heard this before only females can't have random breeding what's gonna happen here life's gonna find life's gonna find a way very terrifying Iceland brace yourself brace yourself you think is gonna happen I think sheep are getting a wild try know what's gonna happen is the the DNA they use to finish my CPD wrong it's gonna be there and it's just screw something up that's there you go there you have it send out the warning to all is landok people watch out we're gonna take a break when we come back we'll actually get to a few stories that orbit the tech world vaguely vaguely some interesting stuff happening this week yeah I was away I didn't really know but it's happening more for four right after

citi com / android pay to get started android pay is available for eligible CD consumer credit and debit cards hey welcome back to the show uh first thing i want to talk about with russ and justin you here so you guys I know you have iphones right but you've heard about the note galaxy seven right the galaxy note 7 yes oh they got recalled right yeah that's how in two weeks after this freaking phone comes out it is basically the largest recall they've ever had to do how many funds is it they recalled I don't know I don't know how many they are doing but they work at all I think it's all that yeah I did hear they're exploding right is that the issue the battery is exploding yeah that's a problem they said today because of the problem with the battery they're halting sales of the new device and they're recalling and replacing the phones they've already sold this is just two weeks after it's gone more of released worldwide uh that sucks because guess what's about to come out I like two weeks ya next week now well the announcing it'll be probably understand for the new iphone right yeah i would say that it's a good time to be an apple owner but i didn't I phones have this exact same problem a couple years ago randomly exploding people saw floating yeah I don't think it was I'm maybe not on this large of a scale this is scary though because they've like two weeks later yeah and there's already been enough incidents where they have to recall every single freaking one they've sold were there any reviews of the phone that said it explodes no that would probably have made you think I'm seven maybe yeah I feel like well we dinged it because it burned a hole in my leg three and a half three and a half out of five I don't know a lot of people have been claiming that their overheating and now the exploding thing adds acting really crazy and having your phone explosion how this passes any sort of quality anyone gotten seriously hurt with this in there pop not that I've heard of but like it's got a bit obviously really bad that would be mummert I get scared like people use those cell phone chargers those like sketchy cell phone charger yeah yeah and it's real like I honestly thought they're gonna like really do some damage for sure the iphone went through Bend gate shitty weather any kind of game right stuff I don't ever remember them dealing with what a phone that was exploding although I feel like there's overheating issues with one of them though yeah I feel like right now the the headphone jack thing is the big controversy surrounding the next one what do you think manages I think they're gonna do it and here's why this is my prediction is that once they well they are gonna do it well once they get rid of that they're gonna put drm on all digital files that come through the iphone we really know it's gonna know so i guess my key for audio yeah that's my could speak no way yeah i don't think they're gonna do I think they're doing that to save a little bit of real estate yeah I think they're doing that to make it a little bit thinner and then also to get people probably buy their headphones they traded it for another speaker well that's what they did that's crap that I don't need another spatially on the AMA seven that's what it looks like it it is raining ah but I mean it's definitely to make the thing thinner and it probably freeze up a little bit more real estate inside there I think it's a good idea though how many headphones have you guys had broken just because you keep sitting down with that with the phone in your pocket and then that plug just discards wearing out oh no and then eventually left and right now your happens to all of my headphones right but you're a heavy user you're like a wave of a lamb's ear no I'm not for a New Yorker I feel like every anyone that would leave the office in New yeah I probably use it about as much as he does I agree with you but I don't think that prove that will prevent the like those of lightning plugs break oh i just mean really will just use bluetooth dead yeah that's thing like i don't want to go to bluetooth you don't want to yeah i think testing some decent earbuds really completely bluetooth yes surprised you're saying that there's one called irin that is pretty good um hey Rin that sounds a lot like urine five-year-olds bring yet but yeah a lot of them work great and the only problem with some some of them is that the left and right we'll go out every once in a while when you turn your head one doesn't sound like what listen to it led zeppelin oh yeah basically yeah like one we look and the earrings don't do that so so far anecdotally I like those once we get to that area where you know they're pretty reliable I just don't want to charge headphones every night I know I thought yeah well look dude everything you own is getting charged every night this is the direction where my headphones or not right now you don't want to go that way guess what man the fetcher I I don't sound better if you if they I'd be fine with it if wireless mic charging was a thing where you could just put a bunch of crap on a mat and I realize we're getting there but we're not there yet you'll get there we for iphone users android users have had that for a while yeah yeah Andrew I mean it depends some some of the phones do wireless try but it wouldn't really do it for all your da ba when you for all you're doing yeah not they've tried to standardize that but it's just not happening what do you guys think of this rumor that this iphone 7 which can be announced next week is essentially the last in this era of this model iphone and then the iphone that will come in 2017 will be a huge dramatic not a flip phone like a full glass front wireless charger yeah do you think that's what's going to happen I think that's why this is the is the first time they've ever had the the round number right like so the the they come out with the s's which are the half years right sure this is the first time that the seven the next number upgrade is an incremental upgrade right right so they're so they're prepping two years now in between instead of one right so for something I think for something big and I think that's the i think the iphone 8 they'll probably just call it yeah um what was the last one that didn't have the curved back that didn't have the flat back it was the curves that I I want to say for I think even maybe the 3g 3gs was the last made her is achill change to the phone ever since then it's just been bigger smaller right right victims a few yeah yeah they've certainly changed the body and stuff every but every time it goes from 42 5-6 is been a min anything yet when you go 4s 5s 6s was always sort of even mentally right I you know I'm a big apple guy love Apple product oh yeah you do i do not like if all of the rumors that they're saying are true there is really very little that's encouraging me to get a new phone sounds like the only thing with the 7 is that they're going to add another lens to the back cameras my cake hdr photos better and okay cool well that's the problem i mean you know there the the anticipation is very tepid at best yeah it is just not a very sexy time to have a new phone right i would get if it was the full glass like wireless charging iphone i'd get that a harpy but yeah that could be another year so especially dropping the headphone jack i don't know man it's gonna be a hard sell for me yeah all right on that next week uh see we're actually going to be at the event live on Wednesday of next week that's every of us right oh no we'll have people there will be at the PlayStation neo thing I will not be I'm actually flying to Seattle that day are you really yeah oh ok but we'll talk about that later yeah all right I want to bring up this topic this is this is crazy I makes you think about what the future generations are going to be like not having been exposed to as many commercials as maybe perhaps we were when we were kids this article from engadget says Netflix saves kids from over 150 hours of commercials a year that according to Nielsen which says the average time that a child spends watching television as opposed to generations past is much less filled with commercials it seems likes to services like Netflix I don't I don't I think that's crap moving along what that doesn't mean that kids are being exposed more advertised that's what I'm saying because you know physical advertisements obviously YouTube in court you tell in the web rice has a million that's right they're probably seeing more ads maybe not as many per hour and and they're seeing as they can skip they're seeing ads that are just presented on a different sort of wavelengths how to make your dick bigger stuff like that that's a more targeted they are definitely seeing more targeted stuff uh but I don't know I find that interesting because I feel like a lot of the bulk you know the bulk of advertising that we were exposed to when we were young was like TV yeah baseball game yes right like I feel like baseball I have this legacy memory of like whenever I'm at a baseball stadium I always see like the same sodas and cigarettes and all that stuff grown up oh yeah sure you know that's dating us a little bit with cigarette ads at the ballpark but uh but yeah pretty pretty crazy yeah although they do have to see all those commercials for the adam sandler movies that's kind of a dragon that does suck for them but yeah they present the data in a graph and talk about how much streaming television of averages by age and it's it's kind of it's a good thing the kids are being brainwashed by commercials anymore but at the same time I feel like we all have this at least people in our generation have this collective nostalgia over certain characters and commercials that we all grow to watching the Tony Tony the Tiger's of the world totally the crossfire commercials and things like that it does shared experience that we all had they're not gonna be nostalgic about you two beds right no they're not gonna be but like I don't necessarily think like that's a bed not yet you don't like nostalgia about the content not really i ad surrounded yeah like I you know we're nostalgic in a way that I think you know kind of just brings us back to like a fuzzy place a warm fuzzy place um where I don't think what that fuzzy feeling does for us will be lost on them they'll still have that yeah it just won't be attached to freakin brand unless it's like an old spice one of those old space ads yeah something like that I just thought that was an interesting headline to talk about you know Dylan's like kind of starting to like understand like televisions kind of cool he just what he likes Daniel tiger do you know what that a no so did so listen to this Daniel tiger is like mr. Rogers weird animated like you know spiritual successor this is a last name tiger no it wasn't mr. Rogers tiger what no I mean Daniel is this last name Daniel tiger so it's his last name is he also attack uses the little tiger okay yeah let me pull them up for the uninitiated so this is a TV show this is a TV show on PBS those horrible looks like that Richard Scarry cartoon yeah he does yes it is so it's it's very much in the vein of that yeah but it is inspired by the world of Mister Rogers so oh so it's actually connected yeah it's connected so like the universe is missed so like it's basically if you know what mr. Rogers were like go in the backyard no one ever no one ever questioned the fact that he had like whole puppet world in his backyard what he did yeah uh and he's got so like the trolleys there okay so like all the stuff that we know like all we know so Daniel Tiger is the son of uh of this other guy Daniel striped tiger the original Rogers me I didn't realize there was actually lineage yeah there are a connection there but who is Daniel striped tiger so that's his dad I know but from the original I don't remember him from the original series I don't know he was a puppet like a hand puppet oh very creepy yet yeah so up no donkey was eyes yeah he's had a couple makeovers I don't like I was wearing a watch there that's upsetting yeah there's know what time it is insurance commercials that have better product I do like that TV com rated Daniel Tiger 5.7 at ten hey this guy screwed up it's better than a 5.7 so it's a good show like you know it's simple he was at each he's not learning anything he just likes the colors and the colors on the sort of falls in the Tinky Winky uh Teletubbies vein which is like they're not learning anything it's just like a baby and a son yeah but at least like this is more beneficial how do you know then Teletubbies sure there's just more substance here ah like they're not just like be boo they're not just like gibberish engaging Tigers like when I fall down it hurts but it gets better like okay there's lessons I stuff yeah you should share or your life's gonna suck right now he's on here too so uh yeah there's ethnicity so it introduces kids to a world of color yeah they do a lot of that which I thought was was when races he's just the tiger Daniel zettai is that what race is a tiger cat yeah man I don't know that's wrong that's lawrence wednesday yet so Prince Wednesday's got a kid named Prince Tuesday sure up guys but like these were when he would go talk when mr. Rogers would talk to the puppet I remember they were all yeah that's them managers of a no universes anime that's it's cheaper to shoot I guess and plus miss rush is pretty pretty dead ya he's dead he's very good hon tony yeah which episode do they cover that I don't know he died like 6 13 years as you were so does Daniel tiger where's fire no but he starts off like putting his shoes on okay yeah take them off though right mmm cuz you know he's headed out do you want to get the sweetest mr. Rogers story I've ever heard sure because when you watch old mr. Roger stuff that is a creepy creepy thing I I gotta take the shoes off dude heat the way he talks is just like sit there while I watch me take my shoes off and you're just like why why are watching this out man that's a nice guys always I'm not trying to say it was a creepy voice like here's the sweet story I have to rid your mind of that awful thought jeff had ear bleach me um so he had fish and he would feed his fish every time he came into the house uh yeah but apparent he got a letter from one of his fans a blind small blind girl had her dad I guess write a letter basically saying that she gets very upset when he doesn't say that he's feeding his fish because she can't see it so ever since he got that letter he said he says out loud I'm feeding the fish now as a nod to this girl good guy for Roger yeah yeah yeah I also like when he was given the Lifetime Achievement Award there's a video of this on youtube uh in his acceptance speech he instead of saying something he said amote let's have a moment of silence for all the kids that don't have a voice in this world and then people just SAT there for two minutes and then he blew the mic down and you can see people in the audience is crying oh the effect that Mister Rogers has owned Peavy Oh Jeff he's not some creep I didn't sister he rejected you implied any a foot fetish anyone's against me you definitely did that opening scene where he's just like watch me take my she say that is the sweater off no just does it this is when you expose your kid to that yeah it's encouraging it's a cartoons cartoons Daniel tiger I do i do think daniel tiger's knives cuz it makes your parents a little it makes a little more digestible the parents because they see where it's coming from right totally that's previewing out for him right now in the credits in the beginning says based off the works of fred rogers this is his universe this is his legacy earth it's a beautiful honor that they they paid in I'm serious it's a very nice thing yeah uh but there you have it oh how we got to that but oh that's what he didn't know I didn't say he had a foot fetish damn it oh man okay i was in Ocean City New Jersey over the weekend if you listening been listening to the show for a couple years you know that I kind of this pilgrimage once a year to play pinball and that's where they shot the Jersey Shore sunburn no isn't it close by though no it no really no they sure know they shot that stupid effing disaster of a show in seaside out that's far away sure it's not ocean city is like a minute away no I don't know where seaside is exactly you know we recently hired a guy for social for our social team named Mike Sorrentino okay is there anything guys me yeah and when he introduced himself to me he was like hey I'm Mike Sorrentino not that I don't even know who that is okay so Seaside Heights is like a hundred miles okay nation city okay optimal yes so that's where they shot that arm yeah so so okay first things first um I just need to bring this up about boardwalk culture if you've never been to the you've been to the boardwalk you've definitely been the walk so you guys didn't understand like the culture this bootlegging just like gambling yeah not gambling this was gambling is like I don't we're gangsters shooting each other on oh not boardwalk empire oh you mean a real bird walks got it okay yeah but there's that too at the jersey border well Atlantic City wait you agreed with me on the bootlegging part now there is because like there's all this copyright issues talking about buoys okay there's all this copyright infringement like people sell shirts that say like whatever yeah so I saw a lot of kids under 18 so obviously there's Pokemon go wherever you are that's fine but there was also like a lot of kids who are clearly not a voting age okay but a lot of kids like rocking Trump shirts Oh like ironically I don't know I don't know I don't know I don't know like how they're perceiving this are they perceiving it as like all that guy's mess let's wear it ironically so you mean so these are younger is like 16 year old type kids right yeah like I'd say 14 to six kids that's kind of like at that point it feels like it's it's like a counterculture thing yeah I think they're doing because their parents hate Trump and therefore they Yeah right now let's say that's my interpretation of it ok so we're we're basically ronik right we're basically in like Eastern Philadelphia is where I was at ok I don't know if that propel Delphia is like a very blue town ok write a memo but you know I don't know about the outskirts and I would also say but you're right in the country you're talking about bucks county and stuff like that very red it's very similar to New York in that way when York City is obviously very democratic and then Republican I don't want to get into that whole thing but I could not believe how much of that I was seeing and surprising I wouldn't have guessed and I was like are these kids joking around like what's the deal i didn't care of you like ask them yeah but like what was again I'd be like hey you were that ironically a real little kid you'd be like also did you just catch charmander yeah dude there's nothing weirder than like four dudes okay on their bikes being like Yoda Jigglypuff over there yeah adults I don't like for kids who aren't super young but they're not you know a dolt you want to hear something weird they're not they're like you would think like guys on bikes at night would be tougher Sharon and these guys are talking about like charmander's and jigglypuffs and bulbous elevator than that is being in the middle of Iceland in a town of 300 people and kids yelling each other in Icelandic that there's a Charmander on the corner no joke a that's weird everywhere that is editor everywhere it's really bizarre not there is any limit finally before we say goodbye for the week I just thought it would be appropriate if we did for a second boy I know you're gonna talk about the other end with that that's not I do it yeah I'll say that for another time that's another time I do want to talk a little bit about you while they're right you know I I don't know like for me Blazing Saddles is one of my favorite movies of all time um I forget what I was reading about him in that movie and how all I think Mel Brooks had a really nice sort of homage dan could they've worked on numerous times together obviously on the producer and blazing saddles and he was basically like that movie doesn't get made in 2016 oh no hundred like nowhere near and like you know he said he he you know obviously I don't think anyone uh who sees that now i guess you can sort of understand the time that movie was made and how it was poking fun at racism and stuff like the hundred percent it was right of course like but again that's a movie that doesn't get made in 2016 and it was just really sort of heartwarming and and touching to hear uh the words he had for that guy the gym while is one of the first I guess straight-up hilarious comedians that I was may be introduced to through young frankenstein through a lot of em elle brook stuff um and obviously you know you gotta talk about Willy Wonka mmm still one of my favorite movies yeah like that performance in that film like I remember being legitimately scared yeah it's moment where they're going through the boat like I don't know where artists go away I heard a great production story that he told that at a WI thing a few years ago obviously before he died and he was saying he was talking about the first scene that Willy Wonka shows up if you remember he comes out of a new ride easily thing he comes out of the factory so when he originally got the script the director came to him and G mother was like hey I want to do this thing where Willy Wonka comes out on a cane and he's limping whatever and the King gets stuck in the concrete and he's like falls down but then he turns it into a somersault nice and proper today and he said the reason I wanted to do that it's because from that point on you didn't know whether he was lying or telling the truth yeah it opens the door for that and the director said so you won't do the movie if we don't do this and Jamal there said hey be sure so I have those very funny so don't fertilize as he he's got a really sort of quick scene where he uh gets car jacked by then by the gang and he's like in the backseat very weird scene okay I mean just shows you like that dude been around yeah sure that's a really old film I think he was one of the first movies I saw in a theater was uh see no evil evil yeah and and yeah just I don't remember I mean I remember him being blind and Richard Pryor green death or vice versa i think it was vice versa but that yeah when did they movie come out I was actually just about to look that up so hear hear no evil see no evil was released back wow so Bonnie and Clyde was nineteen sixty-seven wonka was 71 Blazing Saddles is 74 young Frank Stein 74 as well that's crazy both of those Mel Brooke mel brooks movies were 1974 oh don't forget Silver Streak yeah uh hear no evil see no evil hear no evil you're right was 1989 so I was six years old whoa where are you going to see them I was paying into a lot of inappropriate movies when I was a very young child ricochet my grandpa took me to ricochet and that was about that time I Denzel Washington movie very violent and inappropriate I think I saw die hard to when it first came out and um they just didn't care they were like I want to see this movie deal with it child if you haven't seen the producers I feel like that's the film a lot of people and the original I I don't like the remake and I didn't really like I don't like the remake I thought the musical was okay the original is whole and holds up and it's like not in like a funny oh this is a classic movie Conaway it's just like a legit it's funny on its own legit hilarious movie yeah and of course young frankenstein to man yeah there's something about that have you seen young yeah see I've seen your friend is so good Dean yeah looking drunken teens when that bookcase closes on his face 60 like now listen to me with all your might it's pretty sits on the seesaw and the girl goes flying cats it's not bad I you know it makes me think I've been in the last five years I've been thinking a lot about like look Mel Brooks is like 90 wait he's not going to be around them being surprised that he honestly hasn't doubt i mean its grand mulling carl reiner right yeah like that you know there's something dislike impending sort of sadness where it's like all of these and I wonder like cuz I feel like Mel Brooks toughest like shaped my funny sort of nuances and tendencies and whatnot and I wonder like when that generation is fully extinct and gone yeah all we have is left is the material yeah like is that gonna be funny forever like I I worry that like the stuff that I think is hilarious about blazing saddles and young frankenstein sure and and even stuff like well Willy Wonka's in a different category I wouldn't label that as a comedy but um I think it will in the in the way that like I when I saw Holy Grail monty python the holy grail for the first time I was probably 10 or 11 or whatever and it had been out for I don't know 15 years at that point or 20 years yeah and still like made me lose my mind yeah I think there are certain things that are just timeless I mean honestly like certain things about Buster Keaton you can watch it'd be like holy crap like the fact that he did that stuff and like physically the most amazing for sure I think there's ever been for so there are people and types of things that are just timeless and like bull hold on yeah I would you have an opinion on that like what do you think yeah I feel the same way I mean I remember watching uh what's it called three amigos yeah oh my god looks like I watched that in like the mid-90s so good a little bit late to and I'm remember just dying over it same with airplane do yeah I plane still holds up if you watch it now on TV I want okay so I bring that up also and again like you know if you haven't seen any of these films were talking while they're specifically go watch them there's so the new stuff the stuff that we grew up with okay because we didn't grow up with Gene Wilder movies those are before our time but we grew up with stuff like nikki gun yeah which is still good nigga those movies are actually still pretty funny but then I like I caught okay so this is really gonna pay a disrespect to like the content we've been talking about previously but I happen to watch a good portion of american pie again okay that movie sucks no he's not funny that that movie's not funny no that movie's really bad tries very hard that movie is so yeah I god awful and terrible yeah and like I was watching and Stacy was next to me and she's like I don't remember this being so shitty right I'm like I don't know what's happening because when I think about like a movie like can't hardly wait I think Kennedy waits a better movie than american pie yes i recently rewatched that in it and it can only really comment also can also taps into are the perfect generations and it has like a better lesson to teach but I think like it does don't have a pot don't like it like what was the lesson that like you watch that movie now the bore them can't active yeah lives right like the whole thing is just like oh my god this is so bad yeah I was sort of in that era of just like a bunch of unrelated scenes we're like something either like sexy or gross or easily happen yeah like they would none of those things were particularly good it was just like let's push the boundaries so think about how shitty we have it right you look at a movie like Fast Times at Ridgemont High that holds up yeah yeah that that's still a good movie yeah yeah so you're saying that there aren't new comedies that will hold up and trying to worry I'm starting to get a little paranoid that like movies made in 1990 and on comedies save for like mrs. Doubtfire which is still pretty funny Ace Ventura movies yeah good good yeah well there's only two but yeah yeah uh but like I feel like these teen comedies like yeah I don't do you think like superbad will be good five years oh yeah yeah super beds not the best it's not the best I mean I get how often you sit down and watch teen comedies from toad oh we did wait are we exclusively lying about teen comedies well that's I guess what it sort of evolved into but like when you look when I want when Fast Times is on television yeah it takes a lot to turn it off cuz i think it's so good yes yeah with 16 handle 60 handles and Breakfast Club yeah Breakfast Club always watch that too Ferris Bueller like again the what would you compare blazing on that Blazing Sun what would you compare like a young frankenstein to now like what are those adult comedies it's it's what Paul Feig is doing I mean co-sponsors was somehow received but like I would say bridesmaids is probably the closest is that gonna hold up is spy gonna all them movies not that good it's a good movie all right okay you know it's hard to say I think the reason a lot of those movies I don't know it's tough obviously for the 90s movies a lot of that's I do think it's like the movies we grew up watching so that makes a big impact it were biased for sure right but in terms of classic comedies from last I don't know I'm really curious I haven't watched it since I saw in the theater and I lost my mind I thought it was so funny was boring and I'm really yeah that's very good I lost my voice so yeah well that's good that movie's very good you can't you can't deny that I also laughed really hard at Ted I'm not gonna lie Ted's phone I don't know if I would continue to rewatch it that's the thing as a rewatch ability as a tough and but i think the rewatch ability meter is what dictates whether or not sounds obvious right like that I all supportive I also think it has something to do with whether you're kind of forced to rewatch it we're like those movies that would replay on channel 11 or HBO whatever can non-stop those are the movies you end up loving like clue was like that it was on all the time and I'm not saying close a bad movie it's a great move it's also yeah it's also the best movie but like a song then like you might sort of like the first time you hear it yeah the more you listen to it or watch or whatever you could appreciate it right more vessels of which we're consuming the stuff is evolving right whereas here you have millions of things at your fingertips to stream you can write whatever you want to do are you gonna rewatch something you've watched already yeah probably not so yeah I don't know a lot of levels gmail is pretty great though it's it's sad it bums me out it is said he was 83 he did you know he hung out yeah and he had a great career and there is an odd I don't know if it's an autobiography or a little bit of what was his book I want everyone to maybe if you're looking for a new book and you're interested in gene Wilder I think it's called like love me or some sort of book that he wrote what was it called I gotta look it up I gotta look up his autobiography and you should all check it out it was called kiss me like a stranger okay mmm so I read like a couple portions of that and I enjoyed that a great deal sorry it took me a second to find that mr.
