We've hit a BIG milestone... 100 Episodes!!! This week we go back to 2009, the year Pern's son was born (awwww), we talk about Movies, TV, Innovations, Food, Music and Current Events for that year. Oh, did I mention we have a Taste Test too!?!? ;)
2009. Well, I want to welcome everybody. This is our 100th episode of the podcast.
SPEAKER_05Congratulations.
SPEAKER_02So well, thanks to you guys. I mean, uh, that's why we got here. So I did I'm so excited. I wanted the natural reaction too, which is why I didn't say anything at this time. Yes, I wanted the natural reaction. I knew we were getting close, but yes.
SPEAKER_00100 episodes.
SPEAKER_02This is our 100th episode. So we're gonna we're gonna do a couple little throwbacks, like we're gonna do a taste test in here, and we might do some trivia. And so, yeah, a little throwback to our first two seasons of uh of the podcast. Yes, and uh yeah, but we're still gonna keep the same with the year 2009, which was the year my son was born. So that was a very important year for me.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, yeah.
SPEAKER_02Um, so anyway, I'm very excited that we we hit the hundred episode mark because that's like a milestone. That's amazing, right? Yes, it is. Can you believe we've done this a hundred times? A hundred times. I can't think of anything I've done a hundred times. Repeatedly a hundred times.
SPEAKER_03It feels like a hundred times.
SPEAKER_02No, it's gone, it's flown by. It's like flu. I can't believe we got to a hundred already. Yes.
SPEAKER_00So good job, boys. Good job.
SPEAKER_02Oh, thank you. Thank you for thank you for joining us, Joanne.
SPEAKER_00This is my tenth.
SPEAKER_02Is that what it is? No, you've done more than 10. This is already five this season, so you are worth more than that. Yeah, please. You've already already had it. This week I started watching a new show, and this was one of those shows that was never on my list to watch. Right. It was not anything that even piqued my interest.
SPEAKER_05Okay.
SPEAKER_02And I was just like, eh, sure, what the hell? Let's watch the pilot episode because it's in its third season, and it's Tulsa King with Sylvester Stallone.
SPEAKER_04Yeah.
SPEAKER_02Have you watched it?
SPEAKER_04I watched the first episode.
SPEAKER_02It's actually not bad. Yeah. I'm I I was because it's it's a Paramount Plus show. So there is swearing, and there is, you know, like it's not edited for TV. I mean, it's it's like a network television show, except for they with a hint more of like the HBO-ish side of a scripted show side to it. So it's like it's a good show. And I was I was shocked because Stallone is what, like 173 years old now? Correct. So I was amazed that he was still pulling off these scenes, and like there, there's one scene, I think it's in the second or third episode when he smokes a joint and gets high and has this monologue. And I'm just like, Holy shit, he can't he's he still got something in the tank. It's like, not bad, Sylvester, not bad. So anyway, so I've been enjoying Tulsa King. The only issue drawback I have is that it's on Paramount Plus, so there's commercials. So every time that you know gets to that commercial break, it's like, oh, 120 seconds of commercials, and I just I just mute the TV because I don't I don't watch all the commercials. And you can't factor it.
SPEAKER_00The olden days, yeah, exactly.
SPEAKER_02Yes, exactly. So I I do enjoy Tulsa King. I give it recommendation. If if you don't know what it's about, he's uh he's in the mob in New York and he goes to jail for 25 years to so the main boss guy doesn't have to take the fall, he takes the fall for it and keeps his mouth shut and serves his 25 years. And then when he 25 years for murdering two people, and which he didn't do. Well, we're we're still not he says he murdered them, but I don't know if that's him still say I don't know, whatever. I'm I'm I'm only halfway through the first season.
SPEAKER_00Keep me posted.
SPEAKER_02Well, you should start watching it, it's good, and there's no blood, there's no blood and gore. It's just a it's just a mob show.
SPEAKER_05Yeah, yeah, yeah.
SPEAKER_02Yeah, nothing, man. Nothing. You see, Carm, my wife's the same way. My wife doesn't like mob stuff. And so get this. Last night I actually got home from work early. I was home before midnight.
SPEAKER_05What?
SPEAKER_02And I know, which never happens. And I watched uh I watched an episode of Tulsa King, and then I was like, you know what? You know what I've never ever seen, and I'm gonna watch it right now. Oh no, I made it through Sopranos. Oh my god, the Sopranos story? Hold on. Yeah. Oh geez. When I started the Sopranos, it was it was an episode in like season three, and um uh Joey Pantleone gets whacked, and I was just like, Holy shit, is every episode like this? And because it was just a random episode in the middle of season three. And then I went back and binge watched the first three seasons because the fourth season was about to be released right after Christmas, and so I was like, boom, into the Sopranos and then stuck with Sopranos the whole way. So yeah, I really because it's just that one episode I watched, I was like, What's the big hype about this? And then, like, you know, Joey Pants gets whacked, and I was just like, Holy shit, they like killed him.
SPEAKER_00I have never watched it.
SPEAKER_02Really?
SPEAKER_00Somehow it like flip it like slid through it.
SPEAKER_02Right past you. Well, yeah, it's still it's on HBO Max. I still highly recommend it.
SPEAKER_00Okay, okay, maybe anyway.
SPEAKER_02So the movie that I've never ever watched in my entire life is The Godfather. Oh, meaning that Marlon Brando, yeah, exactly. And and uh uh Bobby Duval and um Al Pacino and uh James Kahn. And I had never watched it, it's always been on my list of movies to watch, but it's three hours, and you know how I feel about long movies like that. Like it's usually like a two-day event for me. I have to take a break.
SPEAKER_03Of course.
SPEAKER_02I started it, it was one just before one o'clock. I was like, I'm gonna start The Godfather and I'm gonna watch it. And so I'm watching it, and I did take a break in the middle about the hour and a half mark. I took like a 15-minute intermission and you know, emptied the dishwasher, took the dogs out, you know, took took a break myself and then sat right back down and enjoyed the last hour and a half. And it was absolutely fantastic. It for me lived up to the hype of, you know, oh, this is the godfather of this movie. And it was just I I got to this point not far into it, where I was imagining like if they remade The Godfather, who of today's actors would take these roles? And the one that was just clear as day to me, playing Don Corleon, Corleone, uh, which is The Godfather, which is Marlon Brando, the person that I would easily pick to re to do a remake would be Leonardo DiCaprio.
SPEAKER_00I was just gonna say that. I agree a hundred percent.
SPEAKER_02After you know, the years of different DiCaprio movies from you know one battle after another to you know what was the what was the mob one he was in in New York, the with the rat? What was uh it was a Scorsese movie. Do you remember he was an undercover cop and he went and into the organization? I don't know. Anyway, that and you know, just the stuff that that Leo's done lately, you know, I I could totally see him pulling off what Brando pulled off as as you know, the godfather. And I was just like, oh my gosh, so I could totally see, yeah.
SPEAKER_00Agreed.
SPEAKER_02In that role. So so maybe there maybe one day will be a godfather in me. The great thing about it is they start off and it's um the godfather's daughter's birth, or not birthday, but it's her wedding. And so like all these people are in for the party and stuff like that. And all the shots of this this wedding reception, it looks so real. Like it doesn't look like just a bunch of background extras, you know, dancing around, stuff like that. It's it's almost like they said, No, start pouring the wine, let's get everybody going, let's have a party. And by the way, we're just gonna have some cameras out here and we're gonna be shooting some stuff. I mean, and it let people feel like just being people, and it wasn't acty, it felt very real, like I'm watching somebody's wedding.
SPEAKER_00That's cool. So, but yeah, yeah, you know, I I every once in a while think I should watch it, but then it goes back to that 70s thing that I had from last week. But I thought it's I think don't get into it.
SPEAKER_02It came out in 72, but I think it's based in the late 50s, early 60s, from the cars at least.
SPEAKER_04All right, I will confirm. So I went and looked. Um because I was like, is there a is it a two or a three? Is it this? There were three.
SPEAKER_02Yeah, there were four actually.
SPEAKER_04No, there was only three.
SPEAKER_02No, there's four.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, I thought there were four as well.
SPEAKER_02Yeah, there's a fourth one.
SPEAKER_04What was the fourth one?
SPEAKER_00Was it a remake?
SPEAKER_02I think no, I think his daughter directed it, Sophia Coppola.
SPEAKER_00Oh did the fourth one. You could be right now.
SPEAKER_02Or maybe she did the third one. But there is a fourth one called the Godfather Coda Michael or something like that. Something like Michael Corley on it. Yeah.
SPEAKER_04Okay, yeah, that was on def December 4th, 2020. But um, it's it's funny you should say this because in this little write-up, the fourth installment of the Godfather movie franchise titled Godfather Part Four is rumored to be in development and an inspected release date sometimes in 2026. Oh, wow. The Coralone family uh is focusing on the new generation of Corlone family. The rumored cast includes no Sylvester Stallone and Leonardo DiCaprio.
SPEAKER_00Amazing. All right, all right.
SPEAKER_02Totally that's funny. Yeah, and we did not set that up before the show. No, like that just happens to be I was talking about Dulce King. I honestly just looked it up, but yes. That's funny.
SPEAKER_00You're you you're just too plugged in.
SPEAKER_02I am. I'm just you so plugged in just on the pulse of uh of culture. Exactly. So anybody, if anybody asks, I highly recommend watching The Godfather if you haven't watched The Godfather.
SPEAKER_03Well you've got to give it to speech because the new one's coming out.
SPEAKER_02I'm excited to start Godfather too. Like I'm ready to go. I can see where Michael takes the family and you know I'm ready to go. Three's not that great. I saw three, it was pretty bad. Oh, okay. I don't I don't I hadn't seen any of them. So yeah, okay, cool. Anyway, so Joanne, anything fun for you this week? Besides sitting on the couch and embroidering things?
SPEAKER_04We heard the embroidering, yes.
SPEAKER_00I got into embroidering this weekend.
SPEAKER_04And this is a new hobby.
SPEAKER_00This is a new hobby, yes, which I didn't think I could do because you know my eyes are bad, but it's at the exact right distance that I can see clearly. So it it's and it's fun. And so I'm doing an America 250 flag, which is like all these little flowers that make up the flag. And then you're supposed to either like frame it or make a quilt out of it or something. So that was my entire weekend. And I finished up a bunch of shows that I had started, so you know, all in all, great time.
SPEAKER_04Cool, complete waste of time. Get good at it because you can start doing uh embroidery for the merchandise.
SPEAKER_03Exactly.
SPEAKER_04Start a logo on the logo, and then we do it repeatedly, all the stuff. We need 500 shirts, 500 shirts, 400 hats. Oh, geez. Get to work, get to work, start because it's just gonna take a while. Yeah.
SPEAKER_00You wanted to bring it. You know, like so. I'm I've gotten I've done the red. So the red is like red and then a burgundy, so you mix it up. So the red is in the stripes.
SPEAKER_04Like a shading thing.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, so I've gotten through most of the stripes. I've done like 65 flowers, and it literally has taken me probably four days, like 32 hours.
SPEAKER_02Is the juice really worth the squeeze?
SPEAKER_00No.
SPEAKER_04Does it seem like busy work? Like you have to like the same thing over and over again.
SPEAKER_00It's good because I can practice. So, like the first ones I did look really bad, and now they're starting to look good. So I get that. And I just picture myself in Bridgerton.
SPEAKER_02Okay.
SPEAKER_00Embroidering like the Regency later.
SPEAKER_02I didn't see Bridgerton. Sorry. No passed on. Oh, but speaking of Netflix shows though, because I know Bridgerton's on Netflix, uh, Joanne, I did find out that Hunting Lives season two is supposed to be out sometime later this year.
SPEAKER_00Oh, okay.
SPEAKER_02So we can um binge that again. And and guess who's joining the cast this season?
SPEAKER_00Oh no, do we need another person?
SPEAKER_02It's a male actor. Well, there's also a new female that's gonna be in the wives club, but there's a new male actor. John Stamos is adding adding to the cast.
SPEAKER_00Are you kidding me?
SPEAKER_02Dead serious, dead serious. I saw John Stamos and I was like, oh, I mean, it was already bad cheesy. Now it's gonna go really cheesy.
SPEAKER_00So as himself or as a character is probably like a Texas, whatever. John Ham.
SPEAKER_02No, this yeah, this show's not John Hamm level.
SPEAKER_00That nah, probably.
SPEAKER_02Did you watch Landman?
SPEAKER_00He was just in that. You know, everybody keeps asking me that. No, but it was pretty good.
SPEAKER_02Did you finish season two, Dave? I have not. Oh, come on. The last episode is fantastic. Okay, three episodes.
SPEAKER_04Yeah, wrap it up. I will have to.
SPEAKER_00I heard so my friends this week. We we did go out to dinner. I did have a dinner with my friends. There you go.
SPEAKER_02Were you embroidering at the table? Some of us embroidering at the table.
SPEAKER_00No, I was not. I put down my embroidery. But they all told me like season one was really good.
SPEAKER_02Yeah.
SPEAKER_00Season two, not so good. Really?
SPEAKER_02I the story has to go somewhere. Right. So, and it's it's getting us to season three, and that's just where it had to go in season two. So I I still enjoyed the characters, and yeah.
SPEAKER_05Okay.
SPEAKER_02I recommend, I still recommend it. Yeah. I do too. Yeah, land man. Very good. Two thumbs up. Cool. And the new season won't be out until like November. So if you start this summer, you can be caught up and then the third season. You can be caught up. Yep. By November, you'd be all set up.
SPEAKER_00You know, when I was studying for my real estate license here in Texas, I learned about land man. And I was like, this is a cool job. And if I knew anything, well, yeah, I guess I have to watch this show. You gotta watch the show. See all the shit. The premise is is good. I mean, I'm like, I could drive around and talk to people and get them to sell their land.
unknownRight.
SPEAKER_02There you go. Watch the show first. It might change your view.
SPEAKER_03You might stick with your current career.
SPEAKER_02Yeah. Oh my gosh. And Dave.
SPEAKER_04Yeah, I swear to God. So again, this happened tonight. Almost nothing going on until I drive into I get into Pern's driveway. And it's raining here, so it's a dark moment. And I have a history. Don't I? I had I've fallen. Oh getting hurt? Yeah. I've fallen coming into your house on your stairs. Oh, yeah. You've tripped coming up the stairs. Yeah, I didn't lift my foot high enough and smash my knee onto the concrete, which was fun because that hurt. Um, and I've fallen at the house. I've I've broken things, I've fallen off of my front stair staircase and uh popped my knee on marble. Um, this time I decided that um getting out of my car is fun and stepped down onto a stick, and it couldn't have been any bigger than my foot. And I slid and it rolled under my foot and I pitched out of the because that was my plant foot. So I came right out of the car, bounced off of my running board and landed on the ground. So yeah, yeah, yeah, fun. I've now I now am uh a fall risk. Lisa said, Why didn't you just keep your little yellow band that said fall risk and just wear that all the time because well no one was there to help me, so it wouldn't have mattered either way. But yeah, I and I it would have been like nine o'clock. I'm like, where the fuck is Dave? It would have been 8 20 and you would have been texting where the hell is god damn it. Your dogs are wanting their treats. Where the hell are you? And I'd have just been looking out. In the dark raining as it was pouring down rain too when I was coming in. So yeah.
SPEAKER_00How could a little stick do that to you?
SPEAKER_04It just got under my foot and I rolled it because I put it on the ball of my foot. And I I couldn't have stepped on that any more perfect to roll all the way down my foot. That's funny.
SPEAKER_00Raziness.
SPEAKER_04I hear that's how the pyramids were made. They just put the stones under the rocks under logs. Oh, Stonehenge? Yes. I heard whales where they read the stones on the whales. Yeah, that's what I heard. Classic Monty Python. Yes. I heard that. That's perfect. Yeah, so there you go. So yeah, I continued my string uh falling.
SPEAKER_02Keeping it up, right? Season three, keeping the falls alive. And I'm still recording.
SPEAKER_04So just to let everyone know, I I am in pain, but I am still recording.
SPEAKER_02Yeah, he didn't go crying home.
SPEAKER_04I am so hurt. No. He is such a trooper. I am here. I have an ice pack on my ass. But other than that, I'm doing well.
SPEAKER_02Right. I'll get him to try a gummy later. That'll numb him out. I gotta drive home.
SPEAKER_04So let's maybe numb him. I was gonna say, he's gotta drive.
SPEAKER_02Well, you can drive home at four in the morning when it wears off. Let me text Lisa, let her know.
SPEAKER_03I won't be home till four. I've got a problem.
SPEAKER_02Okay, I had let's get into 2009, 2009, 2009, 20. 2009. 2009. Exactly. I had movies. That was what I got on the spinner. Nice. So anybody want to guess what the top grossing film of the year was for 2009? I need a hint.
SPEAKER_00Harry Potter.
SPEAKER_02Wonk wonk wonk wonk wonk.
SPEAKER_00What the heck?
SPEAKER_02Yeah, exactly. We are robot cars. Nothing? Oh, like Transformers. Transformers, yes. Revenge of the Fallen with 402 million. So now Avatar came out in 2009 as well, but it came out on like December 18th. So it wrapped around the city. So all of its billion worth will came in in 2010. But in 2009, it still made 283 million.
SPEAKER_04Well, see, that's the same with the Harry Potter, wasn't it?
SPEAKER_02Well, yeah, and because Harry Potter was well that year, in this year in 2009, Harry Potter Half-Blooded Prince came out. Right. And that was number two, and that came out in July. Right. Because that was that was on the they were on that cycle where it was like December. They were on that cycle before one was in the summer, one was in the December, then the next year was in the summer, the next one was in December. Exactly. So they they were on that cycle, and this was the summer one. Oh uh the number three animated movie, anyone? Animated. Oh. Animated Pixar. No. Oh no. Pixar.
SPEAKER_00Toy Story Three.
SPEAKER_02No. No, no, not Twilight. It's Art. Oh, up. Up.
SPEAKER_00Up.
SPEAKER_02That was a good movie. Yep. That was number three. Oh, and then number four, guess. Anyone? Twilight. Yes, the Twilight Saga New Moon. There we go. And it was higher this time, right? It was higher this year. It had less competition, I guess. That must have.
SPEAKER_00Hey, was Transformers the first one?
SPEAKER_02Yes, the first one was Transformers, and the second one was Transform.
SPEAKER_00They mean like Transformers number one.
SPEAKER_04Yeah, not this one though.
SPEAKER_00Not the first one. Not the one in 2009.
SPEAKER_02This was Revenge of the Fallen, which I think was the third one. Yeah, I think so. Does that sound right? Yes. I don't know. I stopped watching halfway through the second one because I'm like, this is so stupid. Yeah. But then I watched Bumblebee when that came out, and that wasn't bad. Right. With uh what's her name? Haley Seinfeld. Right. Yeah. So that one Cena was in that. John Cena was in that. Oh, right.
SPEAKER_00She's having a baby.
SPEAKER_02I know she's having a baby. Oh. No. Haley Seinfeld and uh Jake, whatever the quarterback for the Bills is. What's his name? Oh my God. Stafford. No, Stafford's not the Bills quarterback. Oh my God. Why is his name escaping me?
SPEAKER_03I don't know.
SPEAKER_02Well, that's why we don't have sports, I guess.
SPEAKER_03That's probably true.
SPEAKER_02I literally, it's not Jim Kelly.
SPEAKER_00Wait, I'll Google it. Okay, you can't. You saw that uh Spider-Man got married.
SPEAKER_02I already got it. Josh Allen.
SPEAKER_00Josh Allen. There you go.
SPEAKER_02I said Jake something.
SPEAKER_04You did. Jake.
SPEAKER_02Yeah.
SPEAKER_04I would have gotten it if I knew.
SPEAKER_02All right. So number five then was Avatar. That got released on December 18th, but still was the fifth of the year. Number six was like, I think it is, and we can fact check this. I think it is the mo most money-making comedy of all time. It was the hangover.
SPEAKER_00Oh yeah, yeah.
SPEAKER_02So is the hangover.
SPEAKER_00Does it say that or wedding crashers?
SPEAKER_02Uh I don't I don't think Wedding Crashers, I think that only did around a hundred and some million, but the hangover was like almost $300 million. It did. Wow. And I think it's yeah, the top-grossing comedy of all time. Worth it. At least our rated comedy of all time. So yeah, the hangover first one was hysterical.
SPEAKER_05Yeah.
SPEAKER_02Uh then we had the Star Trek, the JJ Abrams uh reboot of the franchise, which I thought was fantastic because JJ Abrams had already done Star Wars, uh Force Awakens, and then he jumped shipped to the Star Trek universe, and everybody was like, there's like a tear in the space-time continual now because you can't have a director go from Star Wars to Star Trek. Right.
SPEAKER_05Exactly.
SPEAKER_02That's just blasphemy. Like how dare you. Yeah, but the Star Trek movie was really good because we got to see where Khan came from as a young, you know, con, and that was it was yeah. I I like that one. Did you know?
SPEAKER_04You think that um Hangover was the number one for the year or for all time? All time. No, it's Barbie. Oh, well, Hangover was before that. Oh, well, that's what I asked, and you didn't for 2009 at the time. Time it became that's what you're saying. Yes.
SPEAKER_02In 2009, it became the top grossing comedy of all time. Okay. And then Barbie came out like three years ago. And then blew it that all away. Exactly. Monsters and Aliens. Did you see that one? It was the DreamWorks animated. Yes, I did. Right.
SPEAKER_04That's where Gigantica and Yes.
SPEAKER_02And the Blob. Yes. Yeah, Bob the Blob. Yeah. Then we had Ice Age, Dawn of Dinosaurs. Dawn of the Dinosaurs. The Blind Side with uh Sandra Bullock and Football Player. Yeah, the football player.
SPEAKER_00That was 2009. It seems so much older than that.
SPEAKER_02And it made 196 million.
SPEAKER_00Oh my gosh. Yeah.
SPEAKER_02That was like a lot, a money. Then X-Men Origins, Wolverine. Right. Then Night at the Museum, Battle of Smithsonian. Was that the two? Second or third? Or is there a third one? Is there a third one?
SPEAKER_00Well, I think it was two. Yes.
SPEAKER_02Well, I mean, there was definitely two. I think that was two, yeah.
SPEAKER_04Because then there was a third one that was went to British or to England. Went to British.
SPEAKER_02Yeah, it went to English. Oh, and by the way, speaking of making fun of you, I can't believe you guys did not call me out for yawning in the middle of the episode last week. It was like at the 42-minute mark. I'm like, really? Oh, yeah. I don't remember. How did I get away with not getting completely hounded over that?
SPEAKER_00We were just rolling with you.
SPEAKER_04Yes. Maybe we weren't even listening. Probably. Well, I don't know.
SPEAKER_02I was responding to something you said, and I was just like, oh, uh. Yep.
SPEAKER_04We've known each other so long. You don't need a gummy. You just need to listen to me. There we go. I'll put you to sleep.
SPEAKER_02Okay, let's go down the quick rest of the list. The proposal 2000 or 2012. Was that the one with John Cusack?
SPEAKER_04The proposal?
SPEAKER_02The proposal was Candopolic. It was 2012 was the one with John Cusack, right? Where the whole LA was getting destroyed or something. He had to get to Russia.
SPEAKER_002012, that was called.
SPEAKER_022012 when it came out in 2019. Or 2009.
SPEAKER_00Why would 2009? That's three years ago.
SPEAKER_02I know. That's only three years ahead. That's not like calling it.
SPEAKER_04They were saying, yeah, you need to be prepared because 2012 is when everything's gonna die.
SPEAKER_02It's gonna be if that's gonna die. Yeah. The first Fast and Furious movie. Can you believe that? 16 years ago. We're on nine? That was no, that was number 15 on the list.
SPEAKER_04No, no, we're on number nine.

SPEAKER_02Come on. That's the only one I've seen. Oh, the two is the only one, huh? Okay. I or three. I don't remember which one it was. That's the only one I watched. And then I think he died after that.
SPEAKER_00Yeah. Oh. That's crazy. I feel like it's been around forever.
SPEAKER_02Yeah.
SPEAKER_00But I guess that's just what it does, right? I know.
SPEAKER_04Well, 16 years is a long time still. Tokyo Drift was number four. Oh, okay.
SPEAKER_00Number four.
SPEAKER_04And then that was in 2006. Then 2009 was Los Banderos and Fast and Furious. Wait. So 2001 was actually the very first one. Oh, well, it's just a Fast and Furious. It is, because that's Fast and Furious, it's the it would be the fifth one in the installment. But then there was Fast Five, and then Fast Furious 6, then 7, and then Dave can count 67, total seven Hobbes and Shaw, which was uh eight or part of eight, and then nine. Oh, the fate of the furious was eight, and then Hobbes and Shaw.
SPEAKER_00When did the first one come out? 2009?
SPEAKER_04The first one was 2001. Because mine but there is a Fast and Furious that was 2009.
SPEAKER_02That was just called Fast and Furious. Yeah. Not the Fast and Fast and Foundation.
SPEAKER_04But so that it had other names. All right, we'll I stand for it. Because 2001 was The Fast and The Furious.
SPEAKER_02Right. And this was Fast and Furious. And then the buzz away.
SPEAKER_04Too fast, Too Furious.
SPEAKER_02Yeah, crazy.
SPEAKER_04Jesus God, how'd they get around these names?
SPEAKER_02Okay, moving on. G.I. Joe, Rise of Cobra was then 16. Another remake movie that we should have got. Paul Blart Mall Cop came out that year. Oh, perfect. Oh, Taken came out.
SPEAKER_04Taken, that's a good start of all the meme. Set of skills. Another meme shot.
SPEAKER_02Yes. Yeah, Grant Torino. Was that the um Clint Eastwood? Yeah, Clint Eastwood one, right? Not to be confused with El Camino, which was the Breaking Bad movie. Right. Which did not come out that year. No. Christmas Carol, Angels and Demons, Terminator Salvation, Claddy with a Chance of Meatballs. Alvin and the Chipmunks the Squeakel. Oh my god, the second week. The second one. Nice. Uh Quentin Tarantino's and Glorious Bastards came out that year.

SPEAKER_00That is random.
SPEAKER_02Um it's way out there, yes. So now again, these are all listed in the the Melter Made Money. Yeah, the money they made the thing. Because there's still some stuff on this list that's like, wow, like the next one, which was Slum Dog Millionaire, which ran an Oscar.
SPEAKER_05Yes. Yeah.
SPEAKER_02Um money-wise, though. Money wise, 119 million. Right. And it it came in just behind G Force. G Force. They're not going to be able to ridiculous. Right.
SPEAKER_00Oscar winning film behind gerbils.
SPEAKER_02Yeah, G Force.
SPEAKER_04Well, that's that's money for you.
SPEAKER_02Then District 9 couples retreat with uh Jason Bateman and who was the other guy in that uh was it Vince Vaughn? Yeah, okay. I think so. Yeah, uh Paranormal Activity, The Watchman, Sherlock Holmes.
SPEAKER_04So Paramount uh the paranormal activity one was the one that was shot like just a hand. It was security camera footage, right? Most of it. And then the scenes where they actually had like people dialogue and stuff was just a handheld. Yeah. And it did 100 seven. Yeah, but it barely they barely had any budget. Yeah, I think nothing.
SPEAKER_02I think it cost like around $100,000.
SPEAKER_04Yeah, it was like nothing to make that movie.
SPEAKER_02And it made, yeah, bang. Uh he's just not into. Oh, Medea goes to jail.
SPEAKER_04How could we gosh, the start of a franchise?
SPEAKER_02Oh, where the wild things are came out that year. Zombieland came out that year. Zombieland. Zombie Land. That was a great one. That was a good movie. Uh Curious Case of Benjamin Button, another movie that I should probably watch that I've never seen.
SPEAKER_00Benjamin Button.
SPEAKER_02Exactly.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, you need to watch so much.
SPEAKER_02So that that'll be on my list of because that's on it's already on my list of movies that yes, one day I should watch, but I just never have. Hotel for Dogs. I don't know that one. Uh I Love You Man. That was a good one with uh Paul Rudd and was it is Jason Siegel or Seagal? Did we decide on that?
SPEAKER_00I think it's Seagull. I don't know.
SPEAKER_02Was that I Love You Man or was that forgetting Sarah Marshall? I'm now I've got my movies.
SPEAKER_04Because I think the I Love You Man was um Paul Blart guy and uh Seth Rogan.
SPEAKER_02Yes. Was it Seth Rogan? No, Sandler and uh No, Adam Sandler wasn't in I Love You Man.
SPEAKER_03Really?
SPEAKER_02Really, look it up. Fact check it.
SPEAKER_03Here we go.
SPEAKER_02You check it. Well, then uh Marley and Me was on the list. Oh, that's yeah. Oh, Final Destination 17 again, the Time Traveler's Wife, the Bruno movie. Remember the Bruno movie with uh what's his name?
SPEAKER_00Who's that?
SPEAKER_02You know, the comedian guy. It is Jason Siegel, Jason Siegel, and Paul Rudd. And Paul Rudd. Oh, so they were in that and forgetting Sarah Marshall's account. Oh, well, and and forgetting Sarah Marshall, Paul Paul Rudd was just the surfing coach. Right. He was a very small role. Right, right, right, right, right. Yeah. Uh did you see that one, Joanne?
SPEAKER_00No.
SPEAKER_02Oh, okay. Great. I didn't see that one either. Oh, so you didn't see I Love You Man? That's really fucking funny. No. It's oh my god, it is really funny. I don't recall that. It is really funny. Oh my gosh.
SPEAKER_00You guys have to watch.
SPEAKER_02Right.
SPEAKER_00These are good. I'll I'll I'll have some things to catch up on.
SPEAKER_02Oh, and of course, how could we forget Underworld Rise of the Lycans?
SPEAKER_00Of course.
SPEAKER_04I mean, come on.
SPEAKER_02What was that, like the sixth one in that series or something? I've never seen an underworld movie. And I love Kate Beckinsdale.
SPEAKER_04I know, but that one is really a stretch because I think her boyfriend is the uh werewolf in that one, and there you have like this mixed blood thing between vampires and werewolves.
SPEAKER_00Oh, is it's a vampire movie?
SPEAKER_04It's both. Yeah. She's a vampire hunter. But she is a vampire. But yeah, except something like that. Bad vampires and the werewolves. So there was a whole thing.
SPEAKER_02Yeah.
SPEAKER_04Okay.
SPEAKER_02Valkyrie was out. That was the um Tom Cruise movie. And that only made 42 million that did not do well. That was a kind of a bomb. Historic one. What was that about?
SPEAKER_04History one. It um it was about the um the Valkyrie. No, well that was the name of the of the uh assassination attempt of of Hitler in his bunker. Yeah.
SPEAKER_00Gotcha, gotcha.
SPEAKER_04That failed.
SPEAKER_00Yes.
SPEAKER_02Yeah.
SPEAKER_00So we did start watching the Vikings.
SPEAKER_02Oh, really? The show show. Is that on Stars?
SPEAKER_00I think it was on Netflix. It's been out for a long time. We just jumped into the city.
SPEAKER_02I moved over to something. Cool. So for the last stuff coming down the list, Yes Man came out with Jim Carrey, and that did not do well either. And I thought that movie was hysterical. I liked that. I've watched it, I've watched Yes Man repeatedly. I've seen it like you know when it was on HBO, I just it was always on. I'd be like, oh, I'd pick it up at any part and watch it because I thought it was hysterical. Pink Panther 2, up in the air. Oh my gosh, The Informant, 500 Days of Summer, which was fantastic. Um Yeah. And then I'm just down further down the list than Yeah. That was about it. Wow. I mean, there's still a bunch of others, like Fantastic Mr. Fox, Invention of Lying, and Oh, Frost Nixon was that year and only for me to 14 million? Because that was Oscar nominated too.
SPEAKER_04Yeah, but there was a lot of just I don't know. Again, that was your 70s thinking.
SPEAKER_0070s and just all talking.
SPEAKER_04Yeah, it was a lot of interviewing and and historic historical uh reading. Right.
SPEAKER_00That was basically just the interview.
SPEAKER_04Yeah, you'd already seen the interview, technically. I mean like it was out there.
SPEAKER_02But yeah, and then now you see the behind the scenes. I I thought it was okay. I didn't think it was Oscar. I mean, I think because George Clooney did it, and that just was like yeah, right. Right. So it was good. It was worth the watch. Once.
SPEAKER_05Yeah.
SPEAKER_02So because I I wasn't really, yeah, once I didn't need to watch the history. Movies that are history lessons for me are very difficult. Yes.
SPEAKER_04Oh, you know why you may have watched it? Because it was a nominee. Yeah, that's why I watched it, because it was Oscar nominated.
SPEAKER_02Yeah.
SPEAKER_04Even before pre of us doing that on for the podcast. Right.
SPEAKER_00So yeah, and we were still required viewing.
SPEAKER_02Of course. Right. And here or hold on. The Oscar, the 81st Academy Awards were that year. Right. And the nominees were Best Picture.
SPEAKER_05Done.
SPEAKER_02So, okay, so I'll just go down their list. So leading actor, Sean Penn won for Milk. He played Harvey Milk, which he did fantastic in that. And I was so happy that he won. Uh other people nominated that year. Richard Jenkins for The Visitor, Franklin Jell for Frost Nixon, Brad Pitt for Curious Case of Benjamin Button, and Mickey Rourke for The Wrestler. Yeah. Which I loved The Wrestler. I thought that was so I just it was so gritty, dirty, uh low budget looking, and it was Mickey Rourke, like almost a self-betrayal kind of thing. Of like, you know, being a washed up.
SPEAKER_00That's the last role.
SPEAKER_02Definitely, definitely. Well, I don't know, because did he do Iron Man 2 after that or before that? Because that was pretty tight too. I'm kidding. I'm kidding. I kid Iron Man 2. Oh. Actor in a supporting role. That's when Heath Ledger got his uh Joker. Yeah. After he passed away and they gave him the Oscar for The Dark Knight for The Joker. Also nominated was Josh Brolin, Robert Downey Jr., Seymour Philip Seymour Hoffman. Uh actress uh Kate Winslit won for The Reader.
SPEAKER_00Oh, that was good. Ann Hathaway was nominated. What was that about?
SPEAKER_02I don't know. I guess about reading stuff. I don't know. I didn't see it.
SPEAKER_00You'll have to Google it. It's a whole thing. Okay. It's a whole thing.
SPEAKER_02Yeah, we can pass it. Other other leading actresses were Anna Anne Hathaway, Angelina Jolie, Melissa Leo, and Meryl Streep as always. Meryl Streep. Um supporting role was uh went to Penelope Cruz for Vicky Christina Barcelona. Because I was hoping that Marissa Tomey was going to win again for the wrestler. Because she won't she she got her Oscar for my cousin Vinny, and I was hoping that she was gonna get another one for that.
SPEAKER_00Oh, that would have been fun.
SPEAKER_02All right, best animated film, Wally. Wally not up one or something. So Up came out in 2009, so it wasn't a if it was Oscar nominated. I don't even know if it was nominated for that. Yeah. Uh so best directing. Best directing is the best picture, right? No. Best directing. Hold on. Where's my I'm looking for it? So anyway, for directors, it was Slum Dog Millionaire, Danny Boyle. Right. Uh Curious Case of Benjamin Button, Dave Fenture, uh Frost Nixon, Ron Howard, Milk Gus Van Zant, and the reader, which was Stephen Daldry. I don't know who's.
SPEAKER_04So where's Ron Howard been?
SPEAKER_02Yeah, I agree.
SPEAKER_04Right. Like I haven't seen I haven't seen much, right? Yeah. Now I mean he may have just said I'm done.
SPEAKER_02Well he has he has his production company that funding other people. Have his hand in like different pies, and you know, he's not behind the camera anymore, which which I wish he would because he was always great. Or an advisor, maybe. So, oh, then the last best picture. Uh best picture winner was Slum Dog Millionaire, which came in behind G Force. That's but then you take the end of the thing. Exactly, right.
SPEAKER_03Exactly. That's always good.
SPEAKER_02Uh the other best picture nominations were Curious Case Binger Button, Frost Nixon Milk in the Reader. Right. So the Reader. Yeah. The reader. Reader.

SPEAKER_02I don't know. I didn't.
SPEAKER_00Really? I didn't know they remade it. Yeah, there was a short stint on that one, too. Jersey Shore.
SPEAKER_02Whatever. Yeah.
SPEAKER_00Oh, okay. And um American Ninja Warrior.
SPEAKER_02And what was the last one?
SPEAKER_00American Ninja Warrior. That was a favorite in our house.
SPEAKER_02Okay, yeah. I I still watch reruns that because I just like seeing these guys collapse or yeah, they either fall tragically or they like crush it like it's nothing.
SPEAKER_04I I liked wipeout. I always watched Wipeout.
SPEAKER_02See, I I watched when uh my son, because my son was born that year, yeah. Uh I was a stay-at-home dad and watch Washout, Wipeout was on I don't know, TBS or something like that, like all day long. So when I was taking care of my son, I would just have it on in the background and just have wipeout on. And then one day I realized and I had standing there with my remote control and my son in my other arm, and I watched the scene where this person wiped out, and then I was like, wait a second, he had farther to jump than the last guy. And I rewound on the DVR and went back and looked at the previous guy that had jumped, and there was a whole section of like footing platform that was closer, which is at the beginning, it's not there because they added on when people start getting eliminated because they can't make jumps and stuff like that. They'll put an extension in to succeed. Because they need some people to get to that track.
SPEAKER_04That's not fair. It is of course it is.
SPEAKER_02So, you know, and of course, the people you see fall are the one, the first ones that fell because they couldn't reach and and they don't have to worry about a backstory when they get further in the show. Right. So it all works out. Right.
SPEAKER_04So we're gonna get the people who have cool backstories to win.
SPEAKER_02And then I stopped watching White Bat after that because I was just like it's like totally that's so rigged. Yeah, yeah.
SPEAKER_00Um, a couple big shows ended in 2009.
SPEAKER_05Friends.
SPEAKER_00Um my favorite prison break.
SPEAKER_02Oh, yeah. Was that that long ago?
SPEAKER_00Really, yeah. Um you're you'll be surprised, but I watched Battlestar Galactica with Mark. Oh wow after it was on the TV on like DVD, but it ended that year.
SPEAKER_05Right. Oh, okay. I gotcha.
SPEAKER_00Um, let's see what else. There was something else I saw. You watched that one, right?
SPEAKER_04You watched the whole thing. Battlestar, yeah. Did you like the ending? I didn't see any of it, so don't spoil it for me.
SPEAKER_00Okay, never mind.
SPEAKER_04No spoilers. Ugh.
SPEAKER_02I was just like, The show's been off the air for 16 years. It's no spoilers.
SPEAKER_04I just was asking if she liked it or not, because we don't usually get the insight of actually seeing it.
SPEAKER_02I mean, granted, I waited 52 years to see The Godfather, but you know, you still have it.
SPEAKER_04Oh, you did?
SPEAKER_02I did. It took 52 years, yeah, for me to finally watch The Godfather.
SPEAKER_00Wait, aren't we 54?
SPEAKER_02We are, but it came out in 72.
SPEAKER_00Oh, okay, okay. See, I forget how I forget how old I was. It's all good. You're good.
SPEAKER_02All good. Okay. Anyway, never mind. Move along. Sorry. Okay. So, Dave, we've got innovate innovations. Are we there? I we are I think we are.
SPEAKER_03Are we close? Yeah. Okay.
SPEAKER_02Okay, cool. Go for it. Innovate us.
SPEAKER_04Yeah. So 2009. We did have a lot of things happen as innovative in uh 2009. Um, one was NASA. Uh NASA had their Aries rocket, which was a short-lived program, but it actually uh was part of the constellation uh program at NASA, and it was going to be the uh two separate launch rockets where they put one, which is the Aries one, which is going to be the crew, and they threw the crew on top of that one, and then they put all the cargo in the Aries five, which had four booster rockets on it. So they actually had the individual program of Aries, but they were splitting out the travel so that they could actually send people to the space station on the Aries one without having to do an entire huge rocket like an Aries five each time. Okay. So they split it out. It was a kind of a thinking man's kind of uh program. Um now this is gonna be weird, but I'm gonna say it. Teleportation in 2009. Okay. Now this was Wait, how did I miss that? This was more of a scientific uh accomplishment where it was the theory of teleportation of um between atoms. So basically um maybe not the same teleportation that you were thinking of, uh like the Star Trek version, but um, this was a successful lab-generated atomic level information transfer between two separate atoms. Wow. So, but that was that is the basis for actual teleportation because once we can move something from one place to another without anything in between. Teleporting, then it it becomes, then we could start moving matter. But then it brings up that question of if we have one set of atoms transferred to another set of atoms, are we that same person in teleporting? Which was the whole thing about standards.
SPEAKER_02And my big question is can they save Mike TV? Can they reverse him from being small back to normal size? Right. Because in Willy Wonka, he went through the the teleportation and they he shrank. Oh, I think they were gonna try to stretch him.
SPEAKER_04No, I they they showed him at the end and he was all gangly.
SPEAKER_00Did they? Yeah, didn't they?
SPEAKER_02In the in the remake, not the original. Right. In the remake.
SPEAKER_04In the original, they didn't show him. In the Johnny Depp version, yes, at the end he was there.
SPEAKER_02But in the yeah. Right.
SPEAKER_00My question is that was like 17 years ago. Why are we not teleporting? What have they been doing?
SPEAKER_04Yeah, why is it taking so long? Again, I'm just thinking that it just hasn't been a priority.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, well, I think I think we need to put some funding behind that, everybody.
SPEAKER_04I'll bring it up. I'll bring it up. I'll send out the emails. Um, and the next one was something else also uh is the super suit and not the uh where is my super suit? Uh totally different. I don't know that line. What is that for? Oh my god, you don't? No. I'm sure people are screaming at it. It was incredibles. Oh, okay.
SPEAKER_02Okay, okay. That oh, never mind.
SPEAKER_04Sorry, it wasn't, but it's not the superhero suit.
SPEAKER_02This was the like Bruce Willis and Die Hard, like you know, the fame the famous quotes, you got a place I can wash up. Like, well, what the hell? That's like that was a famous quote. Okay, when exactly, exactly. So on Call of Duty, they did a tie-in with diehard a couple years ago where you could be the Bruce Willis, and it was because it was the Cold War 80s, you know, right version. And they actually got dialogue, they got the rights to the characters, so you had Bruce Willis's little skin, and he said lines from the movie from Die Hard. Okay, and they were all the notable quotes, like, you know, yeah, come out to the coast, have you laughs? Right, there's that one, you know, you know, oh, LA, you know, whatever, you know, all the quotes, but then out of the blue, this one comes on. The you got a place I can wash up. And I'm like, Seriously, what the hell? Quote, where was that in the movie? And it's like when he first gets to Nakatomi, yeah, and he asks into her office, yeah. And then that's when he does, you know, takes his shoes off on the carpet. That's that quote as well. Yes, as a famous quote. So many other ones.
SPEAKER_04Welcome to the party, pal. Right, all these other ones. And that is the one they picked. Hi, motherfucker.
SPEAKER_02Jesus Christ. Anyway, probably wash up. Okay, your third innovation. Sorry. Okay.
SPEAKER_04Okay, so not a superhero suit, but the technologically advanced swimsuit that revolutionized swimming speeds that increased um the um increased uh speed and and reduced drag.
SPEAKER_02Like yeah, less friction.
SPEAKER_04Yeah. So this was the one that actually uh they banned because it was changing all the world records and everything, and they won't win five. So in uh what it led to 43 world records being set and was subsequently banned in 2010. Gotcha. Oh yeah, because all the US people were wearing them and they were just annihilating them in the wild.
SPEAKER_00Did those records get reversed? No.
SPEAKER_04Okay, that's no, they still stay. They just have a little asterisk by it. Yeah, more than likely, tainted by the technology. Yes.
SPEAKER_00It's like the um the skier suits at the Olympics.
SPEAKER_04Yes, the the the uh jumpers, right? The jumpers, yeah. Yeah, well, it had a big pouch on it, where they think it was gonna be like a glider. I mean, come on. Anyway, um, and also one other one, um, the fashion robot. Now, I don't know if this had a lot of news behind it because I don't remember this, but supposedly the HRP4C became the first humanoid robot to strut her stuff down the runway at a Tokyo fashion show, sauntering down the catwalk, striking poses and flashing smiles at cameras. Um the funny thing about this was was the way they talked about how they went with the structure of her. They actually made the face like human, like human face, but they stuck with a maga, a magma, maga, manga, like an anime style inspired. Where her face was human. Okay, sorry. Her face was human, but the rest of her body was looked like an actual robot, like it was metal. Okay, so she didn't have boobies. Right. No, well, she did, but it was because metal. Yeah, they were all it was all like but again, she was clothed because she was on the on the um catwalk. Um and this was uh the programmers at the Japanese National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology. What a mouthful. Um, they actually um had said that they wanted to make sure that it was sorry, uh keeping it from being too similar to a human, hoping that it commercialized the humanoid and to get yours, you can now pay two million dollars. But for why basically it was commercialized so that you could have like walking around humanoid robots.
SPEAKER_00It doesn't do anything, it just walks around.
SPEAKER_04Yeah, pretty much like a humanoid robot. Yeah, like a model. Like you could uh have them walk around serving food or you can have them.
SPEAKER_00Oh, it actually could do things.
SPEAKER_04Well, it would walk away. Could it wash the dishes? Um I don't know if you'd get it wet or not. This is what we're doing. Okay. Um yeah, but I don't know if that's gonna be it. So uh honorable mentions the uh tank bred tuna, uh smart thermostat, uh handheld ultrasound, vertical farming, uh the bladeless fan, and spider web silk. Okay. Now there were some really bad innovations that year. There was the gas mask bra, where it's basically a bra that you can turn into a gas mask.
SPEAKER_00What?
SPEAKER_04I don't know. It was made. Um now this one I don't un I don't think was bad, but Snuggies for dogs. Oh now I still have my chili. I still have my Snuggies, so I don't know.
SPEAKER_00Are you gonna say your Snuggy or your Snuggy for your dog?
SPEAKER_04No, I have my Snuggie, the human one. Yeah, I have my human one. And then um there was a mashup of Jane Austen stuff where it was Pride, Prejudice, and Zombies. Oh, right innovation that really didn't need to happen, I guess. Yeah, but yeah, that was one thing.
SPEAKER_02Okay. Well, my my second category was food. Food, our favorite. Right, exactly, because we love to eat. We love food. Do you remember the big tomato recall?
unknownNo.
SPEAKER_02That was of 2009.
SPEAKER_04There's so many now. I don't remember.
SPEAKER_02It happens so often now. But yeah, there were 2009. I do remember this because if you went to Wendy's, they had a sign up that said that they couldn't they don't have tomatoes to serve on their burgers. And it's like, sorry, we don't have tomatoes because of the tomato whatever salmonella outbreak. Yeah, it but it was a huge recall of yes, tomatoes that year, which was a big thing. Uh I don't like raw tomatoes. Uh stevia was introduced that year. Oh, and it was approved by the FDA, right? Um, which is a just a zero calorie alternative to sweetener kind of thing, like instead of sugar and you know, from the stevia plant, right?
SPEAKER_00So plant-based instead of chemical-based. Exactly.
SPEAKER_02And it didn't have aspartame or circolosi. Is that circulose?
SPEAKER_00Yeah, sucralose. Sucralose.
SPEAKER_02Bad and aspartame, not in it. The thing, the one kicker though, is that the Center for Science and the Public Interest, which is an organization, disapproved of the decision of the FDA approving it. Really? Because they don't think it's safe for people. Huh.
SPEAKER_05So is it?
SPEAKER_02I don't know. I don't know. It's still around. It's still around. Right. I don't know what that is.
SPEAKER_04That's just big sugar being angry.
SPEAKER_00It's plant-based.
SPEAKER_02Sugar being angry. That's big sugar. That year we were also in the middle of a a huge recession. Okay. So groceries, they were a lot of people were starting to turn to local sourced, you know, fruits and vegetables.
SPEAKER_05And yeah, and then buying.
SPEAKER_02And like, you know, because they were they were going back to a local, you know, kind of base because of the recession, and it was like helping everybody and you know, and all that. Right.
SPEAKER_00You know, the recession was so bad that this is how we got to know our exchange student because he was trying to come to America, but the recession was so bad that people were dropping out of the program to host kids. So through one of my friends, we learned about him and wanted to come, and now you know, he's like our son, and it was amazing. So the recession was good in that way. Yeah, but it was bad. Yeah, he and two of his friends were having a really hard time finding a place, and they had like done all their paperwork and they were getting ready to move, and it was like people started dropping out because they couldn't afford to feed another kid.
SPEAKER_02Wow. Well, sad. So oh, so in the last things that year, uh thousands of infants in China became sick due to uh infant formula being contaminated. Oh uh, and also 20 Canadians were killed by the maple leaf foods processed meats. Um because yeah, there was there was something it was in every can that might be risky that you know, yeah. So something it was a processed meat thing and 20 Canadians died. In cans or Canadians, yeah. It was like meat in a can, so probably like spam or something like that. Yeah.
SPEAKER_00So anyway, so now Canadians.
SPEAKER_02Oh, so my so we we're gonna do a throwback now to season one and two. Throwback because we're talking about food. That was all my food stuff real quick.
SPEAKER_05Oh, cool.
SPEAKER_02I was at the store today and I saw these, and I had to get them for a taste test, even though I know we really don't do taste tests anymore. True. But this one I I could not resist. I'm gonna show it to Dave so he can see it. Oh, sweet! Literally sweet. It is gonna be so sugar sweet. These are the hostess cup cakes, but they're the limited edition peeps version. Peeps. Oh my god. Yellow cake with uh it says with marshmallow filling and icing. Oh, Jesus. So your favorite, your favorite the marshmallow. Swear to God.
SPEAKER_00So how so it's got marshmallow instead of what do they usually have inside like cream? Cream.
SPEAKER_04It's a vanilla cream, and then the icing on top is actual icing. This is gonna have the marshmallow crap on top and inside. And uh yeah.
SPEAKER_00And and they're supposed to taste like the yellow peeps.
SPEAKER_04Yeah, yeah, supposedly.
SPEAKER_00But the texture is the same as regular.
SPEAKER_02So the frosting on the top is like the sugary outside of a peep. It'll be the peep version.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, like kind of crunchy and sparkling.
SPEAKER_02Inside is going to be a marshmallow. And inside's either marshmallow or cream. So I think the I think the icing on the top is marshmallow, is it? Yeah, I don't know. I haven't got it in mind. Yeah. I'm still working on it. I haven't gotten into mine either. Okay, I'm in mine. I'm going to I'm going to. Okay, go ahead. Okay, go ahead.
SPEAKER_04It looks like a regular one, but yeah, you're right. The topping is a is that the same kind of icingy uh is it? Mm-hmm. Oh, it's the same. Yeah, but it has the crystals on top. Like it, like it looks like a peep crystals.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, like the sugar.
SPEAKER_04But it's the same one.
SPEAKER_00Now I'm gonna have to go to my H E B.
SPEAKER_02Exactly, and check it out. See if I can find it.
SPEAKER_00Okay. Probably Walmart is a better bet.
SPEAKER_04Maybe I just I don't know. Not bad.
SPEAKER_00Not bad.
SPEAKER_04I'm not getting much peep in it, though.
SPEAKER_00More like a creamy marshmallow.
SPEAKER_04From the sugar, right, because the inside is still creamy. It's not like I thought it was going to be a harder marshmallow, like it was a marshmallow.
SPEAKER_00That's what I was wondering. If it would be like a peeps marshmallow.
SPEAKER_04It's not, but it may taste marshmallowy, I guess. I can't tell.
SPEAKER_02I can't tell either. It tastes it tastes just like the normal cupcake filling. Yeah, but it's a white cake. It's white chocolate.
SPEAKER_04It's a yellow as opposed to uh the chocolate. But yeah. I like it. No, not bad. It isn't bad. I'm not getting marshmallow at all.
SPEAKER_00Everyone listening should go out and get these peeps cupcakes and report back. So please like and comment on our social media.
SPEAKER_04Let us know. Let us know because when we do these things and we actually like them, we don't know if we even sway anyone to try them. So that would be nice to know.
SPEAKER_02I would say if you see them, grab a box, but don't go hunt them out.
SPEAKER_01Really?
SPEAKER_02Like if you go to store and they don't have them, don't be like, um, and then go don't go hunting for them. But if you're walking down the aisle and you see, oh hey, it's those, yeah, give them a go.

SPEAKER_02Yep.
SPEAKER_00Kelly Clarkson.
unknownYep.
SPEAKER_02So Dave, uh current events.
SPEAKER_04Oh, yeah. Okay.
SPEAKER_02Are we done? Are we done with the episode? I think so. We're good with music. Yeah. Nothing. No innovative music.
SPEAKER_04Okay. Yeah. So our current events, um, there were, I picked a bunch out of the list. Uh there was a lot of good and bad all over the place. But um, the first one that I have here is the miracle on the Hudson. Do we remember? Anyone remember that one?
SPEAKER_02Absolutely.
unknownYeah.
SPEAKER_04Yeah. So Captain Sullenberg. Sully Sully Sullenberg. Sullenberger. Uh, Lance's U.S. Airways on the Hudson River. Birds. Yeah. Um, after experiencing mechanical issues, they were flying, they took off and then had to curl around to reland, and he did not have enough time to make it all the way back.
SPEAKER_02Did you see the movie?
SPEAKER_04I did, and I liked how they explained it and how he um understood that there was no other way.
SPEAKER_02Yeah. Like he his decision was based off of the city.
SPEAKER_04It was either that put it right into a bunch of houses because there was not much room. There was nowhere else to go.
SPEAKER_02And they weren't gonna make it. But I and in the movie, though, that's the one part I loved. Like every time they do the simulator when they release the birds, it just goes birds. Simulation. Birds. Birds. Nice. So next time you watch that and it's on, just watch it for that one. Just for that one.
SPEAKER_04Yep. Um, the video game Minecraft is released. Oh, right. And they released it while it was in development, and they released it. Like they released a playable version of it while it was still being developed, which meant you were do you were baiting the release, like the actual release. You were uh you were the test you and no matter what, yeah, when you paid for, you did that. Um so this was a weird one. Stephen Hawking he held a party for time travelers at the University of Cambridge. Um, he didn't send out the invitations until after the party. Of course, right? So that he could test his theory about time travelers being able to go back to the house. See who would show up. Yeah. Uh nobody showed up. And that left him to theorize that backwards time travel was likely impossible.
SPEAKER_01Because nobody should have just showed up.
SPEAKER_04Because no one should how would you even know? Like, okay, let's say I invited you to the party, but I I was the time traveler, but I didn't get an invite. So may maybe he just didn't know enough time travelers.
SPEAKER_00Oh, oh, right. How did he send them to this?
SPEAKER_04He would have had to have known or at least sent them to people who were time travelers, unless he did an open blanket I'm inviting everybody. But he said he sent individual invites, which meant, well, okay, but I mean, come on. He could have invited anyone, right? He could have invited the entire world. If it was just his close net or friendship, agreed, then he just his he kept his um test uh uh pool slow uh too small. Uh scientific method does not seem to have it, he didn't leave enough, uh yeah, enough sample size. Um uh Disney acquired Marvel. Okay. Now this one was interesting because it did launch the MCU, which was really big at the time because no one had ever done anything like this, where they actually released movies that tied together that then tied to other movies like the Avengers. Um that cost 4.24 billion dollars on that purchase. Wow. Now the weird thing is though that the first two movies in the MCU were actually released by Paramount, and it wasn't until uh the Avengers in 2012, which actually were like six or eight movies down, where they actually was released by Disney.
SPEAKER_02Right.
SPEAKER_04And then we also had uh Microsoft releases Windows 7. Windows 7. 7, and they're at 11 now.
SPEAKER_02Oh, it's 11? It's 11 now. Yeah, yeah. I gotcha. Yeah, cool. There we go. Cool, cool. All right. Are we ready to spin? Let's see what we're gonna do for next week.

SPEAKER_02I bet I bet no one good was born that year. I'll put money on it. No one was nice. Oh, you guys. Perfect. We should have recalled the show the goofballs. Just been like perfect. All of that. I am ready. Okay. I will see you guys next week. You bet. All right. Bye.
