#0303 - Childhood Movies Should Come With a Warning Label - 01/27/2026
Speaker 1: YAY! It's only Tuesday! My goodness. This day better go by quick. Ugh. Dumb. Speaking of dumb, I hate it when people can't follow instructions. You know, the other day, I'm looking at this post about paid subscriptions. So the other day, I remember having quite the hassle trying to get a football game on the TV. Because one was on one service, the other one was on another service, one of which I didn't have. So I'm trying to get the free trial and, you know, then he ended up just cancelling it because it's like just wanted to watch the one game. And how many stupid subscriptions do we need nowadays?
Jays! Well anyway, this post is about unexpectedly high quality online subscriptions. It says, what's the most unexpectedly high quality online subscription you've ever paid for?
And the top answer is something that somebody didn't pay for. Like, I get it that it's a good subscription. They're talking about their library's digital subscription.
You know, give them access to ebooks and audiobooks, streaming movies. And they even say, I know it's not technically a paid subscription because it's free. What do you... Yeah, it's not a paid subscription.
You're not following the instructions here. The question was, what's the most unexpectedly high quality online subscription you've ever paid for? Now, it's great for people to know the library has a free online subscription.
I don't know if they do around here, if so, awesome. But it's not paid. So come on now. Answer the question properly. Okay, this person says, PBS Passport, Support Educational Shows.
All right, I guess if you got kids, you know, it's probably better than some of the other programming options they might have. PBS Still Round? Thought that they were like shutting down. Anyway, gonna go with Flight Radar 24. Huh. What is that? I would assume you get to track flights. Just some nerdy thing here. I know where all the airplanes are at all times.
Yeah, live flight tracker. Okay. Um, I guess everybody's got a hobby. I was hoping I'd find something that I needed here. Thankfully, I'm not because I don't need any more subscriptions. Here's another one that says it's free. Oh, why don't people follow the instructions? Okay, drop out.
It's an independent comedy streaming platform that produces incredible shows such as VIP Game Changer Dimension 20 and make some noise. Okay. All right. So if you're into comedy, that might be good.
All right, let's see here. Coursera. A lot of variety and easy to follow training. Okay, they said they, uh, cancelled their subscription because they got too good at Microsoft and Canva. All right.
So yeah, if you need to learn software and things like that, Coursera, that could be handy. Let's see. Curiosity Stream. What kind of content? Okay, documentaries and blah, blah, blah.
So another, uh, you know, video streaming service. This is great. This is great because none of these sound like anything that I need.
Florida Law Weekly. Okay. A bunch of nerds. Yo, what's up?
Welcome to the program. The Victor Will Show Tuesday edition. Stupid Tuesday. I stumble across these threads and I always know what the top answer is going to be.
And it always frustrates me because it reminds me of the situation I'm in. The question that was asked is as you get older, what old person thing do you appreciate now that you previously mocked? And you know, the top answer is always going to have to do with sleep. Yeah, going to bed early.
Yes. I appreciate it when I do it. I should have, should have went to bed just a little bit earlier last night, but we were up watching a movie.
I'm going to talk about it later. That movie is My Girl. You might remember that movie from when you were young. Yeah. Movie is a seriously messed up movie.
Very bizarre. And I don't think I'd seen it since I was a kid because I was a big Macaulay Culkin fan when I was a kid. He's about my age. You know, home alone. Oh, this movie's fantastic.
Then My Girl comes out. Okay, let's go check it out. Oh my goodness.
What is this? So I had to finish it, you know, had to finish it, stayed up way too late. And now here I am this morning all tired. And it's because I was watching My Girl with Becca and her daughter. And then I don't think we even watched anything funny after, which you watch a movie like that, you need to watch something funny right afterward.
So maybe that's why I'm feeling a little cruddy this morning. That movie. Am I just on a run of watching, you know, bad movies? Now My Girl's probably better than No Good Deed, which I talked about last week.
But I don't think My Girl's a good movie. All right. It's just weird. All right.
And depressing. We'll get into it later. I think it's been out long enough that, you know, spoilers ain't gonna matter.
If so, I'll, you know, preface the break with we're going to spoil this movie because I got to talk about everything that happens in it because it's so bizarre. But that's what kept me up. I hope you got some sleep last night. I am going to drink some raw meat energy drink and maybe take an ibuprofen or something like that. I swear if I'm coming down with some kind of crud, I'm going to be furious.
I am going to be furious. I suppose I could take that ibuprofen I mentioned, found some in my desk. It's like, oh yeah, since I keep forgetting to buy some at the store, thankfully I found a little stash and I'm gonna have to bring some of that home.
Yeah, I don't know what the deal is. I've been going to the grocery store repeatedly and there are like two items I want to get or that I need to get ibuprofen and instant coffee. I could be walking around the store looking at everything. Does it enter my mind that I need these two items? No, need to start taking notes.
That's what I need to do. Oh, well anyway, I'm just sitting here slugging down some raw meat energy drink because I forgot instant coffee. I mean, the raw meat's fine. It's just, even though it's like sugar-free or whatever, it's just a little too sweet for this early in the day. I know I'm just whining today. I'll stop. I'll stop my complaining. Just, uh, my bed was so comfy today.
You know what I'm talking about. You're up right now. I don't know. Some of you out there, you just jump out of bed excited for the day. I don't know.
You must know how to get to bed at a reasonable time. As I was scrolling, trying to find some kind of crap to talk about, a lot of rumors floating around for you Red Dead Redemption 2 fans about a next-gen upgrade. And they've been talking about this for a long time. Somebody was online saying, you know, I'm losing faith that Red Dead 2 enhanced is ever going to happen. And some guy says, you know, I know 100%.
I can tell you 100%. I know eight developers that worked on Red Dead Redemption 2 next-gen. It is a thing, but Rockstar do whatever they want to do regarding release dates. And maybe the GTA 6 developer timelines change the release schedule.
Who knows? But they have worked on it and it will come at some point. Absolutely, it'll come at some point. But why don't they do it now while we're having to fart around and wait on GTA 6? You know, though it's not like I need to start yet another playthrough on Red Dead. Oh, playing some Red Dead sounds pretty good.
Sounds fun. All right, all right. I know another topic that I've just beat to death before. I just love that game. It never gets old to me.
It never gets old. Okay, what I'm going to do, I'm going to go get that ibuprofen and I'm going to take it and then I'm going to dig up some content and we're going to get through this day. We're going to crush and destroy Tuesday. The day will be over before we know it and then we can kick back and relax. Just rest up a little bit. Go to bed early, huh? All right, a little too early to be thinking about that. I'm sorry.
Well, this is an article I didn't need to see today, but since I, you know, had to look at it, I'm going to share it with you. Human bodies begin to break down at two surprisingly precise ages and it's not gradual. You want to know what the ages are? I'll tell you. 44 and 60.
All right. This article says, scientists thought aging crept along year by year. New molecular data suggests it doesn't a sweeping multi omni, multi omics.
That's what it says. Study reveals the body may hit hidden biological gear shifts in midlife and those would be at 44 and 60. Guess who turns 44 in a few months? I don't need to break down any further. Geez. All right. Guess it's time to make some changes. Yeah. Gotta start exercising a little bit more, eating a little bit better, just making good choices. Oh man.
That sucks. It couldn't just be, you know, okay, 44 it is. You know, I don't need to look at this crap on a morning when I'm feeling a little bit off. Geez.
Okay, let's look at this instead. How to keep an apartment smelling nice without fragrance. What do they say? Wash your walls with soap and water. Okay. That sounds like a lot of work. But, you know, I've got like thick texture on the walls.
Yeah, there's probably like dust in those cracks and things like that. Oh, great. Just what I need. Why don't you go scrub your entire walls? That's what everybody's saying here.
Wash your walls like regularly. What? Okay. I ain't got time for this. I tell you what, I need a nap. Got the 44 blues coming my way and I need to scrub the walls.
You gotta be kidding me. Um, we're doing a giveaway this week over on Cannonball 101 for tickets to see Devo in Salt Lake City. So if you want to go to that show for free, all you gotta do is fire up any of our apps, the K-Bear Alt or Cannonball app and enter to win a pair of tickets to the show.

I'm again, sure it's gonna be a fun time.
It's Devo. It'll be ridiculous. Alright, now I'm gonna keep trying to dig up some freak news. Wish me luck on that. A lot of slow news days in recent weeks, but gotta be something to talk about out there. I'll get digging.
I'll be back. Alright, if you're looking to find that forever someone, gotta find someone with some good taste in music. Metal fans, the least likely to cheat according to a new study.
That's right. You gotta find yourself somebody who's an end of metal. Stay away from those jazz fans. Yeah, apparently jazz fans 10 times more likely to cheat than heavy metal fans.
Let's take a look here at the worst case offenders. Jazz coming in at the top there. Then salsa at number two. Pop fans number three. Country fans at number four. Rap at number five. Then it just, you know, just starts breaking down all kinds of different genres here. Apparently, it metals at the bottom of the heap, least likely to cheat metal fans. Then fans of indie music and electronica. So yeah, regular old rock and roll. No where near as bad as them.
Pop and country fans. That's right. Dump them. Just kidding. Alright, what else do we have here? Florida teen basher mom with the pork chop during a drunken argument.
Let's see here. So the mom called 911 said her daughter had been drinking during the day. They get in this argument and apparently, you know, the daughter slapped her mom and she had video footage of that.
So she showed that to the cops, but then she claimed she also chucked a pork chop at her, which was not captured on video, but they did observe food residue on her left shoulder, which was consistent with her statement about being hit with a pork chop. So yeah, try to not fight with your mom. Alright, it's no good.
And if you hit somebody with a pork chop, you're going to hit national news and everybody's going to be talking about you. You know, you don't want to be a failure to your family. But if you are, well, there's a new museum just for you, the Museum of Personal Failure. This is up in Vancouver, Canada, just north of where my daughter lives, actually. And yeah, the Museum of Personal Failure, it's only got like a two week run. I guess it's like a pop up museum, but it explores the experiences of failure through artifacts submitted by the public, ranging from a wedding dress of a failed marriage to nonworking knives to a can of spilled paint. So yeah, I guess this guy, he, he was all heartbroken after you know, ending a relationship. And so he made a bunch of posters saying failures wanted, put them all over the city. Then he had emails just rolling in with people ready to display their artifacts of failures.
And he says, you know, failure is an essential part of life. So I guess I might as well make a museum dedicated to it. Sounds like a kind of bleak museum to go check out, right? Oh, look at all this failure. That sucks. Well, he should have hooked up with a metal fan.
Jays. I don't know if she, it didn't say anything about cheating. So how did I have multiple tabs open about the Museum of Failure? And they're from different news sources. Apparently it's a hot topic today.
What else do we have here? I'll save that story for a bit. That one was kind of crazy. We'll talk about the woman who has fallen the furthest of any other human being and lived. And yeah, we'll get into some other crap as well.
All right. I just totally forgot whatever I was going to talk about because I was scrolling Facebook and there's a post quoting Geyser Butler of Black Sabbath talking about the worst album art of all time. And he threw his own band Black Sabbath under the bus for the album cover for their paranoid album. And I've seen this album cover a million times.
Okay. It's one of the most legendary albums of all time. And I guess I never realized how kind of ridiculous it is. You know, you got this guy wearing a white helmet with a sword, wearing like a stupid outfit. That's pretty much it.
It is pretty silly looking when you just take a look at it. But oh yeah, I was going to talk about the woman who fell 30,000 feet and survived. Now, this isn't a brand new story. Again, the news has of late has been digging up old stuff because there's nothing pleasant to talk about.
But it was an interesting story. So this is a 22 year old stewardess who wasn't supposed to be on a plane that exploded in the sky. Everyone you know, perished when the plane blew up. But she somehow survived. She fell six miles to the ground.
And she continues to hold the world record for surviving the highest fall without a parachute. She was all messed up for sure. She was way messed up. But I guess like tree cover and snow softened the landing and some people found her, got her to the hospital and you know, she survived. Now, as for why this plane blew up, they have a couple different theories. Back in the day, they thought that somebody had hidden some explosives in a suitcase. But then in 2009 investigative journalists argued the aircraft may have been accidentally shot down by the Czechoslovakian Air Force.
Now, she has no memories of what like happened, you know, which is probably good. I don't know how long it takes to fall six miles. But I would imagine you have a lot of time to think.
A lot of the horrifying. So back in the 80s, she was awarded a certificate and medal by Paul McCartney. Yeah, of the Beatles during the Guinness World Records Hall of Fame ceremony for the highest fall survived without a parachute.
I mean, it is an impressive record to hold. But holy cow, that is just terrifying. Can you imagine you're just on a flight all of a sudden, boom, you know, and then you got to deal with all of that. So yeah, she says, I'm like a cat. I've had nine lives. How many does that use up? It's got to be a few. But anyway, I think she passed away a few years ago. And everybody was surprised she lived as long as she did.
They shouldn't be. You can survive a six mile fall. You're probably pretty tough. I mentioned this earlier on the show. I ended up staying up later than I wanted to because we were watching a really fun and uplifting movie. My goodness. I hadn't seen this movie since I was a kid.
That movie is called My Girl. All right. Peaches. We got peaches in the studio. Peaches, have you ever seen the movie My Girl? No, I haven't. Okay, I'm going to spoil it for you.
Sure. So like we're going to start right at the beginning. Last night, Becca decides to throw on the movie My Girl so we can watch it with her daughter. Now this is the movie that came out when I was a kid. You know, Macaulay Culkin, right?
Of course. Home Alone Fame. So, you know, I was a big fan of Macaulay Culkin when I was a kid because I loved Home Alone. So he's got this new movie coming out.
My Girl. Gotta go see it. Let's go to the theater and check it out. Wikipedia describes it as a comedy drama. There is nothing funny about this movie. This is one of the darkest and most messed up movies I've ever seen.
Speaker 2: I could have told you that by the title of it. It already sounds like it's going to be something weird. Okay. My Girl with Macaulay Culkin. Okay.
Speaker 1: Now for anybody who hasn't seen the movie and doesn't want it spoiled, you got to tune out because we're now this movie came out in 1991. Okay. I think it's fine to spoil it. You saw it in the theaters? Yeah. I would have been like nine years old.
Speaker 2: Oh, which is it? I thought you said you took your took Becca and her daughter to the theater.
Speaker 1: No, no, no. Okay. No, I saw it in the theater when I was a kid because I was a big fan of Macaulay Culkin. I had to go see the new movie. So it's a movie about this 11 year old girl and her dad runs the town's funeral parlor. And so she's kind of got some mental problems like she always thinks she's sick, always thinks she's going to die, you know, kind of like me. So anyway, she's friends with Macaulay Culkin's character, who is a kid who's allergic to everything.
All right. And you know, so he's not very popular, but they're pretty good friends. But there's this weird aspect of the story where she has a crush on her teacher. All right. So the funeral parlor hires this woman to come in and be a makeup artist for the dead bodies. All right.
That's Jamie Lee Curtis. Okay. Dan Ackroyd is the dad who runs the funeral parlor.
All right. So she goes in and she steals the money from the makeup artist. So she can go to the teacher's poetry class, which is all adults except her. And for some reason, they let her be in the poetry class and the teacher gives her this weird speech about, you know, right about what you really feel and blah, blah, blah. So anyway, at one point in the movie, that they're out in the woods, her and Macaulay Culkin's character. And they like knocked down this beehive and they have to run away later on.
He comes back because he's trying to find her ring that she dropped when they knocked down this beehive. Now I mentioned Macaulay Culkin's character is allergic to everything. All right. So Of course.
Speaker 3: Oh, not the bees! Not the bees! Ahhhhh! I'm gonna let my eyes, my eyes! Ahhhhh!
Speaker 4: So, he gets swarmed by bees. Alright? They just swarm him and he's like, Ahhhh! Ahhhh! And then, he dies. That's what I thought. That's where I thought this was going. He's dead! Alright?
Speaker 1: So you got dead Macaulay Culkin and he's just in a casket and the girl gets all upset, you know, cause that was her friend and he just got killed by bees. And she's mad that they didn't put his glasses on him.
Speaker 5: He wears his glasses! He can't see without his glasses!
Speaker 1: And then she runs to the teacher's house and she's like, Again, this teacher angle is very weird. And she's like, I will just stay with you! And then his girlfriend comes out.
And so, this is again an 11 year old girl. She gets all mad and then she runs off, you know, just crying. And then the movie ends with her going back to the poetry class and reading a poem about dead Macaulay Culkin. And then the movie's over. And this movie, as a kid, you know, I was like nine when I watched it. Macaulay's daughter is eight. When he suddenly gets killed by bees,
Speaker 4: she's like, Mom, why did you have me watch this movie?
Speaker 1: And when she turned it on, I was like, that movie's horrible. Why are we going to watch it?
Speaker 2: Are you going to show her Requiem for a Dream Next to? Sure! The Schindler's List and... Yeah, let's just keep it positive. And go show her JoJo Rabbit too.
Speaker 4: It's supposed to be a comedy with a dark twist.
Speaker 1: Yeah, there's nothing I don't recall. Well, I might have been laughing because of how ridiculous this movie was. I think I did laugh, but it was like, it's not
Speaker 2: supposed to be funny. That's you laughing. That's me laughing. Whatever you laugh at, most people don't.
Speaker 1: Yeah, when all of a sudden Macaulay Culkin's getting attacked by bees, then I start chuckling. That's not where you're supposed to laugh. It's supposed to be serious. Kids allergic to everything.
Speaker 2: As Maca's daughter seemed bridged to Terabithia.
Speaker 1: We'll just make a big list of nice uplifting films to sit down and watch together. It's like when my family and I watched Click. Click's a pretty sad movie too.
Speaker 2: Well, I have a whole list in the K-Bear group from yesterday's to Peach's their own question for what's a genuinely good movie that you want to share with others. Oh, okay. Well, you answered the question. What do you mean? Oh, what did I say? You said weapons.
Speaker 1: Oh, okay. I did say weapons because that's the best recent movie I watched.
Speaker 2: Well, weapons was excellent. Did you see weapons? I watched the first 10 minutes on the plane and then me and Aubrey started having a conversation as I started freaking out about the turbulence. Help, help me. Nothing makes me more mad than when people go on, when they're on a plane and the seatbelt signs on, but they get up and walk in the middle of the whole thing and walk to the bathroom and we can still be taken up and some dad stands up, starts looking for things in the overhead bin. Oh, yeah, dude.
Speaker 1: Did you hear the story earlier about the woman who fell six miles from the plane that blew up in the sky? Good. I should have told you that story before you left.
Speaker 2: No, I was kidding. Every single time I buy a ticket, those types of stories pop up. Engine failure, whatever it may be, always happens.
Speaker 1: Well, at least you're not allergic to bees, right? Oh, yeah. I'm fine. You know. I'm feeling a little bit off, which is annoying and frustrating and I'm hoping it just goes away. I should have brought some vitamins or something like that because I'm a little bit nervous.
A little bit nervous. I ain't got time for that kind of crap. Ain't got time to be feeling cruddy. Now, let's take a quick look at our local weather. See if it's still looking like things are going to be nice next week.
Yeah. Get back up into the forties. Loving this winter. I've seen a lot of posts from the Midwest. They look like you're having a bad time. If you're listening elsewhere, I'm sorry. Just endure. Winter will end eventually. You know, don't overdo it. Shoveling. You can really injure yourself.
You can do some serious damage to yourself. Shoveling snow. Finally had to get around to buying a new snowblower. It might not get me used this year, but I figure if I didn't get one, we're going to get pummeled with snow. And if I do get one, then we won't have any snow.
So, you know, paying the price to avoid having snow, I think is worth it. Because at least today ain't got the energy for that kind of crap. Anyway, I'm just whining. Just whining and complaining. I'm going to try to put myself in a better mental state. All right, for your benefit.
And I'll find some other crap to talk about. Just still dealing with the light news days. You know, right now the only people benefiting from the news, those terrible talk radio hosts who just spew political talking points.
Oh, they got it so easy right now. But you don't want to listen to that crap, do you? No, no. I mean, I did see a story about a guy who got charged with assault for farting on the police. This was up in Canada.
I didn't realize you could get charged with assault for that. And I'm going to remember that the next time Jade stops into the studio here. Talk with Lieutenant Crane about it Friday during traffic school powered by the advocates. By the way, speaking of Lieutenant Crane, tonight and tomorrow, or I should say this afternoon, the Crane family on Family Feud. All right, it's going to be airing at four o'clock, Channel 8. So if you want to check out Lieutenant Crane and Company, Lieutenant Crane and the Fam on Family Feud, this afternoon and tomorrow, they will be appearing on that show. So I got to find my TV antenna, pick up the local channels. Haven't tried doing that in a long time. Tom Morello and Beartooth, new music that Jade was one who showed me that a few weeks ago.
Speaker 6: Pretty good stuff. I do like that one. And the new Blackville Brines, that was pretty good too. That is pretty good. And the new Rob Zombie.
Speaker 1: All in rotation as of today. Yeah, the new Rob Zombie songs are really fun. They remind me of White Zombie.
Speaker 6: Yeah, they're good. And the videos are all low key. Like you can tell that they just put a camera up and they're in the studio and it's like who cares. Yeah, just jamming.
Speaker 1: It's awesome. Yeah, dude. Well, there was that big Rob Zombie tour announced with, it was Marilyn Manson, Orgy, and who was the other band?
Speaker 6: Yeah, I can't remember. And there was a rap roar about it. I didn't read all the way into it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I didn't even know that band, Orgy was still around.
Speaker 6: You remember them? Yeah, I thought they were done. Wasn't that like Jonathan Davis's like brother or something?
Speaker 1: Somebody in there. Or step brother or something. Yeah, because what was it? Adema that was his brother?
Speaker 6: Oh yeah, maybe that's what it was. Maybe Orgy was built off of like the previous band that he was in or something like that.
Speaker 1: Time to go to Wikipedia. That's what it's time for here.
Speaker 7: Google. Let's see here. I'm just gonna scan.
Speaker 1: Jonathan Davis was the one who signed them. Okay, maybe that's what it was. Yeah, they were the first band signed to Korn's label, Elementary Records. Oh, yeah. So now I'm member Byers. Yeah, I guess they have been kind of out and about. They put out new music in 2015 and then started making their return to the stage like 2012. So I guess they're just doing live shows. All I remember those guys is that cover of Blue Monday. I don't remember their other songs. I think that's the only one I know too. I wonder what in the last time we played that was is it in rotation?
Speaker 6: I don't know. Maybe it's in the system. I don't know. Maybe we should play it after this. Maybe we should. That's good. It's been long enough. Let's see here. Let me let me type. See if I can go on blue. Get your fat fingers working.
Speaker 1: I was doing the what do they call that? Puddin.
Speaker 6: Puddin. Put it in your fingers.
Speaker 1: On a keyboard. Blue moon. Blue Monday. Okay, let's play it. Old reliable. What's that? Old reliable. Oh, the old. Yeah, we were telling peaches how to watch local channels.
Speaker 6: So what is that? That's where you go stand by the TV with some tin foil and a coat hanger.
Speaker 1: I don't even know if I have a TV antenna. I'm going to have to look around. I did at one point for some reason, probably because like one year, somebody wanted to watch the Super Bowl and I'm like, uh, you got one.
Speaker 6: It's called a coat hanger and some tin foil.
Speaker 1: Does that work with the newer TV? I don't know. Lieutenant Crane on Family Feud tonight with his family and tomorrow. Uh, 4 p.m. on Channel eight. So, uh, I think we're going to go watch it with him and his family. Fat cats on Thursday just do back to back. I guess they're going to air it there.
Speaker 6: Hey, Victor, why don't you come hang out with me and watch me on TV? Yeah, pretty where to go.
Speaker 1: Let's go to Rexburg, everybody. Throw down hard. Dude, I was looking at movie listings recently, um, cause like horror is like just taking over in the last year.
Speaker 6: And sinners or whatever that was just got the most Grammy nods of all time or Oscar Oscar. Okay. Yeah. They are all crap of all time though.
Speaker 1: Just those award shows. Hey, come look at what we did. Yeah, exactly. We all did this together. Come praise ourselves. Yeah. Stupid. But I was amazed back in the day, like in Rexburg, you could not go see an R rated movie and, uh, fat cats.
They were playing. I think it was when I was trying to find somewhere to go see the long walk, which I haven't seen yet. And that movie is supposed to be really messed up, really bleak, really dark and fat cats in Rexburg. That was one of the places you could have gone and seen it.
Speaker 6: I'm going to keep my mouth shut on that one.
Speaker 7: I'm almost just came out. Perfect place.
Speaker 6: So long walk. Dude. I do want to see that show though.
Speaker 1: I want to see it too. It's on the list.
Speaker 6: I've been watching. Did you read the book? Oh, yeah. I would assume you have because it's a Stephen King, right?
Speaker 1: Yeah. And it's a short story, so they probably actually made a good movie out of it. Unlike most Stephen King movies where they take like a thousand page book and then make it into an hour and a half.
Speaker 6: Like any movie adapted from a book?
Speaker 1: Like, yeah, pretty much every movie adapted from a book sucks. Every once in a while, they'll, you know, make a good movie out of a book, but they tend to like not match the story at all. Like Forrest Gump, you ever read that book?
Nope. It's bizarre, dude. Nothing like the movie. Nothing like the movie. Only thing that's similar is that there's a man who's, you know, kind of slow. Like he becomes a professional wrestler at one point and he's wearing a big diaper and there's all kinds of crazy stuff in that book.
Speaker 6: Hadry had himself about 14 Dr. Peppers.
Speaker 1: I don't know if he has Dr. Pepper in the book, but he does fix. Now this was before our time, but at one point Coca-Cola put out new Coke and everybody hated it. And in the book, I remember Forrest Gump fixes the new Coke and makes it really good, but he didn't know what he put in it. So they have him in some kind of a lab trying to sit there and figure out the ingredients that he is to make the new Coke. All right, dude, it's a bizarre book. Let me see if I can pull up an article about it because it's completely insane.
Speaker 6: I have to get, I have to get into that one.
Speaker 1: And then they made a sequel called Gump and Co. And I remember that was pretty bizarre too. Movie versus book. Let's see here. Oh, the author of Forrest Gump hated the movie. According to, it wasn't bizarre.
Let's see here. So in the book, he gets a little bit aggressive at times. And he's like big too. He's not like just Tom Hanks, normal dude. I think Forrest Gump is like big. Like a peach? He's like peaches. Yeah. Let's see. I guess he does have a shrimp company, but there's no Lieutenant Dan. Oh yeah, he plays chess and goes to space with an orangutan.
Speaker 6: That's a big old guy. Thought astronauts had to be a certain size.
Speaker 1: That's a book. Let's see. Oh, in the book, his kid dies too. Some might as well keep it extra cheery since we've been talking about uplifting the long walk. My girl. That movie is messed up. My girl. Yeah. Dude, yeah. We were talking about it off air. I don't know what's up with that movie. They used to make different kinds of movies back when we were reading them.
Speaker 6: These are something else. That's for sure. The rating on 80s movies for like, what is happening here?
Speaker 1: Oh yeah. Sometimes you pick up a PG-13 80s movie and you're like, whoa. Or just the PG and then PG. I think Jaws is PG. If I remember right. Yeah, I think so.
Speaker 6: Or you go back even further like 70s. Oh, dude. My wife and I started watching the Toxic Avenger. So awesome dude. Like this is the far outness of it reminded me of the way like Blazing Saddles was. Oh yeah, dude. She's like, what's Blazing Saddles? Okay, I'm just going to show you the new sheriff shows up the town scene. Oh boy.
Speaker 1: Which we cannot play on air. Absolutely not. I want to see the new Toxic Avengers. They just put one out. Yeah, that's what I'm talking.
Speaker 6: Oh, I thought you were talking about the old one. No, the one with Peter Dinklage. Oh, okay. It's so good. I'm only like maybe 40 minutes into it. Okay. What's it on? Disney actually. Disney. Right. Remember when Disney only put out PG movies?
Speaker 1: This is definitely not a PG movie. No, dude. The last Toxic Avenger movie they made, it was pretty messed up. You got a caller. Let's see what they want. Kay, Bear, you're live on the show. Keep that in mind. Who is this? Your wife. My wife. Well, hello.
Speaker 3: I was just going to say you literally cried watching my...
Speaker 4: I was not crying. You were. That is not true.
Speaker 6: He's cried for less. So I believe that.
Speaker 7: Oh, he was crying. He was like, this movie is messed up.
Speaker 3: Oh, no, not the beach. Not the beach. He didn't just clap his hands. He didn't just clap his hands.
Speaker 7: Well, you guys have a good day. I'm mopping at work right now.
Speaker 6: You got to mop up all of Victor's tears.
Speaker 3: Yeah, probably because he cried a lot.
Speaker 6: The long trail walking tears. These are lies.
Speaker 3: Lies. So sad. Yeah, he's just going to lie to you and say he wasn't crying, but he was.
Speaker 6: I believe it. Whatever. Whatever. I'm tooth. You're a tough bee. That's right.
Speaker 3: Wait, where's the bee noises?
Speaker 1: We got plenty of bees.
Speaker 3: Help! Help! Help! Help! Help! Okay. You guys have a good day. You too.
Speaker 1: Bees. When I was watching it, I'm like, all right, I've got the perfect buttons for talking about this movie.
Speaker 6: When you watch the new Toxic Avenger, I'm not going to give away a lot here, but there's a scene where they're in a diner. Read the signs plastered all over the diner. Okay.
Speaker 1: All right. I'm firing up Disney tonight for a nice, cheery family film.
Speaker 6: There's a real choice stuff.
Speaker 1: All right. I'll scope it. I don't want to be at work. I want to be at home playing video games. That's what sounds pretty good to me. I was looking at this list here of old school video games that are supposedly still fun. And I've talked about this before going back and playing an old game sometimes and being like, man, this game sucks. Why did I like this game when I was younger?
Like 1080 snowboarding on Nintendo 64? It's a terrible game. We used to play the crap out of it. Well, let's see 14 old video games that are still genuinely fun, not just nostalgic.
Let's cast my judgment on these. All right. I did not have a Sega. So I did not play much Tekken. But old school fighters, I could see those potentially still being fun.
But again, Tekken, I remember playing it in the arcade and I was more of a Mortal Kombat or Street Fighter guy. So I don't know. Worms Armageddon. I don't even remember this game.
Is that the deal? Here's some unknown games. We tried every old game possible and we had to dig real deep to find ones that are still actually fun. Command and Conquer, Tiberian Son. I remember Command and Conquer, but not that one in particular. Starcraft and Warcraft. Never got into those games. My brother was into them. But I don't know.
Just that style of gameplay was never my thing. So so far, we're striking out here. The Secret of Monkey Island. OK, games like this I did enjoy. But I don't know if they're still going to be fun nowadays. Point and click adventure games. We're solving puzzles and things like that, like King's Quest, Space Quest.
Maybe it's still fun. Lemmings. Lemmings used to get me so mad. I don't think that game would still be fun because I don't think it was fun.
Even back in the day. Another puzzle solving game. Unreal Tournament. Never played that one much. Roller Coaster Tycoon. See, all of these it seems like there's got to be a better modern version. Like sure, building your own amusement park, that was fun back in the day. Would Roller Coaster Tycoon still be fun now?
I don't know. Quake 3 Arena. Again, I mean, maybe it ain't too bad, but I would assume there's got to be better modern first person shooters. Diablo, another Warcraft type game, Age of Empires. All these are like just nerdy puzzle solving games. Half-Life. Didn't they make a remake of that?
I think they did. Mario Bros. The Original. And Mario 3 is better. The Original Mario Bros.
I mean, it's fine. It's as nostalgic as it gets, but if you want to go NES, you go with Mario Bros. 3. What's their number one? Doom? It's been a long time since I played it. And it was a game changer when it came out, but...
I don't know. You could probably play Doom just on an internet browser. I could probably play it while I'm sitting here at work.
Just find it online. Let's see. Play Doom online. Yeah, at Play Classic Games online.
Mm-hmm. Play it in browser. Let's click here. Alright. It's launching. Wow, it launched a DOS prompt.
That's pretty amazing. Hold on, we got somebody calling. See what they want. Kay, Barry, you're live on the show. Keep that in mind. Who's this? Uh, this is Tori. Tori, what's up?
Speaker 3: I was just calling to say that list that you got. I didn't hear Donkey Kong in there or Mario Bros. or Street Fighter.
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, none of the above-and-bills keep... I mean, they did have the Original Mario Bros. when I got torched off of the list. But yeah, no old-school Donkey Kong, which is surprising, and Street Fighter. I mean, it's been a long time since I played it. Maybe it doesn't stand the test of time. I don't know.
Speaker 3: I didn't even hear Mortal Kombat either. I mean, I didn't hear not one of those, but I'd still throw in.
Speaker 1: Yeah, no Mortal Kombat. And right now I've got Doom fired up in my web browser here, and I might have to play some Doom while I work. So... Alright, we have a good one, man. You too.
See ya. Alright, so while we listen to Nine Inch Nails, I'm gonna try Doom and see if it's still fun. I have a feeling it's... It's gonna be okay. Just okay.
This brings back memories looking at the... Yeah, back in the day video games would just kind of play. Anyway, I'm back. WAAA! WAAA! Alright, I gave Doom a little shot, and it was like, man, alright, you know, that's enough of that. But I still want to go home and play video games. I do need to try something new. Been wanting to get back into the VR gaming and make my way through Resident Evil 4. I bought that, what, a year or two ago, and then played it just a little bit.
It was awesome, and then just stopped. Like, what's my problem? Why can't I just sit down and try something different?
Well, always end up firing up that red dead. I mean, you do have to, like, strap the VR helmet on, but it's not that difficult. Okay, it takes two seconds.
Alright? I got Resident Evil 8 on the VR, too. It's totally awesome. Do I sit around and play it? No.
No. I always talk about these things, the things I'm going to do. I'm going to go to bed early. Do I?
No. Stay up watching depressing movie. My girl. I'm going to play some video game.
No. End up sitting there, scrolling social media, just getting mad. Going, what's wrong with people? Why are people so crazy? Why are people so dumb?
What's wrong with the world today? I'm really going to get myself just frustrated and feeling cruddy, apparently. But we're making it through the day. I can't believe the show's almost over already, actually. I just hope. Hope with the help of some vitamins and this and that, I don't get down with the sickness. Because I'm feeling, feeling iffy, people. Makes me mad.
Okay, anyway. Maybe you got to play Doom, like, on an actual PC, not just in a web browser. It seemed like it was moving kind of slow. And I seem to remember that game being very fast paced.
But maybe that's just because, you know, modern games are more fast paced and you don't remember things properly. Alright, my people, what up? We made it through the show. Hope you're making it through your morning all good. I'm going to have to get into more of the raw meat energy drink, I think, because I'm just exhausted today for some reason.
Sorry, you might be exhausted as well. And you're like, dude, come on, you're supposed to give me a little pumped up. You know, make me excited for the day.
Give me something fun to do. Talk about. Well, sorry, some days, you know, you just feel a little bit off, a little bit off. I mean, I tried looking around for fun stuff to talk about. I don't know if you're aware.
A lot of darkness out there. Maybe I could look at East Idaho Eats. What do we got for new places to try some food?
Because I am feeling a little bit hungry. Well, it looks like they've not updated recently. Shame, East Idaho News, because we have talked about all of this stuff before. What the heck? Well, I guess that is what it is. You know, what about the tasty Tuesday?
Well, they did update that. So if you're looking for a recipe, you could make yourself a five ingredient Southern fried chicken or tender, juicy, slow cooker cranberry chicken. Or even hot chocolate. All right. There you go. I'm going to leave. But I'll be back at noon with peaches for the noon hour of madness mayhem.
Yeah, it's definitely raw meat energy drink time. So appreciate you hanging out with me today as always. I'll try not to suck so bad tomorrow. I'll try to go to bed early.
