Coin Stories with Natalie Brunell
A highlight from Ricardo Salinas: Mexican Billionaire on Bitcoin, Building Wealth, Capitalism and Legacy
"This is not a question of left and right, it's free and slavery. It's freedom and irresponsibility or irresponsible theft. Welcome to the Coin Stories podcast, where we get to explore the future of money, business, technology and Bitcoin's revolutionary promise to boost economic prosperity around the world and mend our broken financial system.

Ricardo, first of all, it is such an honor. Thank you so much for taking the time. Thank you, Natalie. I just learned, actually, that Ricardo Salinas -Pliego, it's because the first last name is your father, second is your... I didn't know that that's how you worked in Mexico. Well, in Mexico and in general, Latin countries, we have this big family tradition and a way to respect the families, to recognize that your mother also counts. Love it. I love that. Yes. Well, I want to hear a little bit more about your upbringing. I want to start the story at the beginning. Can you tell me what it was like growing up here in Mexico? I was a very bad boy. You were a bad boy? Very bad boy. Very unruly and like a savage, wild guy looking for adventure. Why? I liked adventure. What can I say? In terms of your understanding of money, what was your sense of money growing up? Did you feel always comfortable? I was always poor. Okay. I had no money. I hate that feeling. Yeah. It's terrible. As a matter of fact, I have a story about that when I think I might have been like 10 or 12 years old, and my father sent me out on a trip to Disneyland and to the US, and then fly across to New York and the World Fair, and he gave me $100 for a one -month trip. I think after three days, I spent it all, and I spent the rest of the trip feeling like a beggar with my other friends who had more money. It was a terrible feeling. I don't like it, and I'm not planning on going back to that. Did you always strive to achieve great wealth? What was your path in terms of achieving success in your career? Well, it took me a long time, because even though I started working first on my own, then with other companies, and my father offered me a job in his company, and that company belonged to my grandfather and my father, and it was their company, not my company. I started working for them, and both of them, especially my father, they're very stingy, miserable with their money, so they pay me a miserable salary. Then after the 80s, disaster here in Mexico when, as I mentioned, the price of the dollar went from 20 pesos to one dollar, to today, which is 17 ,000 pesos per dollar. But in the 80s, just between 1982 and 1988, it went from 20 to 3 ,000. So everybody was wiped out.

I didn't know there was a third one. So this one came out in 94 and so I was Stationed in southern california and I was I I decided that a couple of us came out and uh Decided we were going to go into la and sign up for uh to be extras In the movies our tv shows just extras, right? Yeah, so We go down and we fill out the applications and we're standing in line. It's like a fucking cattle call, right? And there's a big glass window big long glass window when you see all these, you know, whoever's behind it and uh We're standing in line trying to guess hand in and I hear someone go. Hey. Hey you you and they point at me Come here come here I pull me out of line. I go up to the window and Like hey, uh, what size jacket are you wearing? I'm probably at the time i'm 48 or something and uh He goes, all right. Do you think uh Think you could play a cop. I said well pretty funny that I actually am one in the air force Gives me call this number so I call the number later on and I end up getting a role as an extra in er See you playing yeah playing A cop right there again, so I report to the studio and if you're an extra the year you're there all day Yeah, like you can't leave right or you're not going to get paid and you can get your shit signed So if you do x amount of extra work You can uh, you can and you pay a certain fee You can be eligible to apply to the screen actors guild and you can get speaking roles, right? Yeah so I go there and I can set up the police uniform and uh So because I I there's a couple stories in there, but uh, the flintstones came out in 94 right the movie and so there was this uh, I I learned because I did a couple I did er I did uh, Uh nypd blue I did a couple of like, you know and uh You start to see the same people. It's a whole subculture right extras So this black guy is kind of fat black guy big big guy He's walking by and some of the extras are like, ah Is john? John, that's john. John had a speaking pot in the flintstones This guy was like the fucking king of the extras He got a line huh and his line was lunch Ha That's he was the foreman at the quarry right but he had a speaking role and they were like, oh he had a speaking role right So don't play at one point at one point. Um We we it gets into the night time and i'm officer like mccarthy or something it says on the Thing but i'm just doing background work, right? So You get to talk and I have to fucking entertain myself at this point. So I start going around So when we got to this, it's like a an apartment building, but they're calling it like the hospital, right? so it's supposed to be filmed in front of the hospital and uh They have these tanks Like an oxygen tanks and all this shit around were you supposed to be outside the er in that parking area? And that was an apartment building. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Yeah in la so, um I'm like, okay, and it's it's kind of talking So one of the one of the assistant directors the ad's comes over and they could be dicks sometimes and the guy's like, all right This is it. Nobody smokes over here. We got fuel. We got add tanks over here and this and that Nobody smells like talking to us like we're fucking dirt bags, right? so All right, he walks away 10 minutes later So and I I was kind of joking with the rest of the the extras Now i'm kind of just acting like officer mccarthy chicago pd, right? It's a true story. So this guy comes out. He's got this fucking long coat on Right like a fucking nice overcoat And he lights up a cigarette and he starts smoking the extras like he's smoking This guy's smoking Look at him. He can't be smoking So like i'm like, all right, i'll take care of this so I walk up to the dude right You know in uniform. I says Excuse me, sir. Officer mccarthy chicago pd You'll have to extinguish that cigarette. This is a no smoking zone. We have tanks over here, sir I swear to god And just fucking like with this like what the fuck right and he takes a second he puts it down he steps on it And just turns around and walks away Right, and so i'm like, all right. Thank you, sir, and he walks away And I go back over Like three minutes later. Someone says dude You know who that was? Like, I don't know who it's the executive producer of the show He had the 500 overcoat on Sure The dude looked at me like what the fuck Did they have real oxygen tanks? There was some sort of flammable things over there. I don't know what it was There was something flammable. They were like no smoking over here. You gotta tell me you were an extra I watched er religion. You gotta tell me what episodes you were in what episode it was It was around a christmas episode There was a christmas episode where I know they had christmas things in there Um, and I was in the diner like I was in the background in the diner and one scene it was it was kind of obscure you know, but uh Yeah, it's pretty funny I know someone who did a lot of background where like so if you watch seinfeld when they're in a restaurant They would do the people that said the table's talking i'm like, how do you do that? And they go you go like this Dude, I never right and they they dub it in they just you know, it's no it's with fake conversation It's mine, it's fake conversation So i've never ever watched a tv show or a movie the same again I'm, always looking at the extras because the thing is they want to be on camera, right? Yeah, and they're not supposed to look at the camera, right? They're not supposed to do any of it and you're supposed to just act normal But if the camera's panning by you'll always see somebody turn their head, right? Or they'll shift their body, you know, or they'll wave to somebody right always trying to get that air time. It's fucking hilarious So one time I was doing I was playing a street person on um Nypd blue so I had you know, the shaved head. They said come in come in with like like winter clothes, right? so I had this uh, this timbal and jacket nice timbal and jacket and uh, it was fucking like summertime in la but you know, you have to so We're standing around and the guy goes okay you and you and he takes this girl that's got a shaved head and he says uh Youtube youtube. All right, you're gonna team up and what you're gonna do is, you know walk across the street Right, that's what you're gonna do walk across just walk across the street So, all right, you know So the guy goes and what they do with nypd blue is they would shoot the same scene literally like six seven eight times Yeah, that's why you get all those different angles. It's like that quick cuts the different angles. Yeah Uh, so walking across the street and I just look over my shoulder and I look back And literally it's just like in the middle of the scene cut Cut extra don't look at the fucking camera Like they notice everything like big brothers watching They saw you break the four saw me fucking turn just look on my shoulder. Jesus christ So I gotta start all over again. All right, fuck the scene up They called you extra. Oh, yeah. Hey extra. Yeah, you because they don't know my name Listen, I was never an extra but my street where I lived in pearl river previously Tony, uh, tony soprano james scandolfini did a movie called don't not fade away. I don't know if you've ever seen it But they used that was it was about the rock band. Yeah, it was about the garage man So it was a david chase movie actually he directed but um, they used my street and they turned into 1970s So he's parked all these retro cars out And we were told like I got home and the apartment building like this said don't walk out to the sidewalk They don't want you to be on the sidewalk So we hung back and they had people walking up and down our sidewalk, you know in in 70s clothes and I was like trying to talk to them and they they would say things like you catch them every Three minutes they'd give you a quick answer like How long you've been doing this all day? Oh, yeah all day. Would you stop? No, we just keep walking. Uh, can't look at the key He said we can't look at the camera. No, I can't stop to talk to you Whatever and my son was asked to be an extra and he turned it down. I wish he had done it You know, but it was cool. Like I got to see the whole movie making thing Yeah, they turned all the stores right by my house in the 70s style store I was getting ready to go to work one night at midnight, right when I was in customs and My wife my first wife god rest her soul. She would wake up. She'd stay up until I went I left for work and uh, nypd blue comes on right And i'm getting changed and i'm just about to leave and I go oh and it was the episode I go baby This is there I am right there there I am and there I am again right there She got to see it. It was pretty cool That is cool. That's cool Yeah I was I was an extra in the burger king commercial And roller skates and what they did they took our roller rink and they just used like not even half of it Yeah, they had the all the cameras so you just did the same semi circle for about four hours What's the same thing? It's like you did they said? You know pretend you're doing your scoring like you were on a saturday afternoon. It really is kind of dull I mean, it's just it's very repetition. You end up standing around. Yeah All the facades, uh, they're all fake in nypd blue That's la but they put the fake bodegas like yeah, they get the they put them up on the wall Yeah, where are the others like backdrops? I mean, no, like they got fake fake facades fronts. They're like sets They're pro so they'll put it up over this building. It looks like it's graffitied And then when the scene is over they take it off. That's what they did by me and pearl river They just picked the uh, the uh, the pizza place became deli, uh brooklyn deli and stuff. Yeah.

The Dan Bongino Show
Paul Reubens, Actor Best Known As Pee-Wee Herman, Dies at 70
"About what's happening but breaking news. We just learned that Pee Wee Herman Paul Reubens is dead. He died last night at the age of 70. There was a statement that came out on his social media accounts, the verified ones, saying last night we said farewell to Paul Reubens, an iconic American actor, comedian, writer and producer, whose beloved character Pee Wee Herman delighted generations of children and adults with his positivity, whimsy and belief in the importance of kindness. Paul bravely and privately fought cancer for years with his trademark tenacity and wit. A gifted and prolific talent, he will forever live in the comedy pantheon and in our hearts as a treasured friend and a man of remarkable character and generosity of spirit. As I saw this news during the break, I started to think rather depressingly about a few things. Number one, God, I'm old because I remember him as a child when I was a child. And there is a generation of people right now, couple probably a generations who have no clue who the heck Pee Wee Herman is. And he really was a cultural icon at the time. And he was also, I think, a victim of culture at the time. Back in 1991, which was I think a year after the show actually his show Pee Wee's Playhouse ended. He was arrested and accused of himself in a porno theater. And at the time, I remember sort of just catching some of this news. And remember, I was born in 1982. And so a lot of what I remember about this his in distant memory, but also as I got a little bit older, and I was wondering whatever happened to him. And at time, the it kind of was treated as if he had committed some sort of violent
The Eric Metaxas Show
A highlight from Ch Ahn (Encore Continued)
"Welcome to The Eric Mataxas Show. Would you consider yourself smart, insightful, precocious, astute, clever, wise, beyond your years, and good at checking a thesaurus for synonyms? Well, then you've come to the right place. Here now is the handsome, attractive, striking, gorgeous, and quite frankly, breathtaking, Eric Mataxas. Continuing my Miracle Monday conversation with Chae Ahn, that's A -H -N. That's a Korean name, isn't it, Chae? Yeah, you're one of the first to really pronounce it correctly, by the way. What do people say? They call me Chae, they call me Ahn. You know, yeah, whatever, yeah, which is fine, whatever. Now, Chae, by the way, doesn't strike me as particularly Korean. Is that Korean? It is Korean, but my whole name is Chae Ho. Aha. But when I came to this country, they thought it was my middle name, and so it was just dropped, and so all my papers, my citizenship is just primarily Chae Ahn, and so. Chae Ho, does anybody call you Chae Ho? My mom did. She did? Yeah, especially when she was mad at me. That's the classic thing, right? All right, so we were talking about this moment in your life that God has supernaturally called you to go all the way across the country with your wife. You have three kids, then you get four kids, and you're telling me that even though you knew God spoke to you to do this miraculously, it was a struggle. So you're saying from 1982 to 1992, you were struggling. Well, we didn't move out until 84 because it just took time to make the transition. And by the way, it wasn't just me. I invited Luengo, his wife, and a few singles and others to come, and so we had around 15, 18 people that were part of the church planting team. And yeah, it was a struggle. 84, I remember after one year not seeing anything happen, I'll be on the floor just prostrated, weeping before God. And I would say, where's the God of revival? You said, come to LA for a great harvest. We're not seeing a harvest. But you see, I believe those 10 years, and I would joke the 80s were from Hades for the 10 worst years, but they were the best years because God was developing character. He was breaking me. You gotta realize I was 28 years old. I was so cocky, and I thought, because everything came easy before, ministry -wise. And just like Joseph, even though he got this incredible vision dream that his family's gonna honor him as a ruler, yet he had to go through the whole Potiphar situation, the prison experience. And so I went through my wilderness experience, but they were great years because I had the privilege to go to Fuller, and because I had nothing else to do. So four years at Fuller, getting my master's and my doctorate, another four years. And I had the privilege to meet Peter Wagner and get mentored by him. And so it was all part of the preparation. So I really believe when it comes to making of a leader, there's that preparation time before you come into convergence. And it's the character development time to be like Jesus. And so that's why Paul says, I exalted my tribulation, knowing that tribulation brings about perseverance, perseverance character, and character hope. And hope doesn't disappoint because the love of God has been shed abroad in our hearts through the Holy Spirit. Well, you talk about that. I can relate to that because I had many years of character building and I always joke around, I say, don't you hate that? But it's true. I mean, I don't wanna talk about me right now, but just to say that I know that this happens and it was years of humbling, real humbling, brokenness, difficulty, struggle, never doubted God, but often was thinking, wow, this is not fun. This is not fun. Yeah, and it's just something that I think every believer has to go through. And of course, we never graduate. And so we're being constantly conformed into the image of his own. Hallelujah, that's the name of the game. Okay, so at what point did things begin to turn around for you? Well, really it began in 92 when I quit, I resigned from the church, not because I didn't love the church, but because unfortunately the movement was part of, the church planning movement got caught up in what I would call the discipleship shepherding movement. Oh, I think I know about that. Was that like Derek Prince? Well, I don't wanna mention names, but yeah, there are. Well, let's just give the initials, Derek Prince. Okay. Yes, but they were called the teachers and they were like these amazing teachers. They were great. And by the way, many of them did repent for the wrong teaching because they were talking about authority and we needed spiritual authority because we're all hippies, rebellious and all that. But they took it to an extreme. And so - It became almost cult -like. It almost did. Right. And so, yeah, just controlling. And so here I'm observing this in California as I'm going to Fuller and I'm seeing my whole movement get into this whole other movement. And so I wanted to leave. And so Sue, my wife gets the word, we're to resign and give the church back because they really planted the church. And so we did in 92. I didn't know the backlash I was going to get from our pastors, our leaders. They thought I was betraying them even though I wasn't taking the church. I was not splitting the church. I wasn't trying to, you know, move the church out of the movement. I just basically was going to itinerate as an evangelist. I've never heard that verb. I was going to itinerate. You were going to go out on your own, I think, is what you mean. Yeah, exactly. Do your own thing, man. Do my own thing and not very successfully. And so 93 was the worst year because economically, you know, I have four kids now in Southern California, a mortgage and no salary. And so we had to refinance our house just to survive. But then in 1994, something happened extraordinarily in Toronto. So Toronto outpouring of January 20th, 1994. And at the same time, a lot of people don't know this, but the Holy Spirit fell in Los Angeles with John Wimber. The same spirit of revival that was in Toronto manifested in the Anaheim Vineyard. And we got hit by the power of the Holy Spirit. I felt, Eric, I was born again again. I mean, people, I know there are many people listening. They have no idea what we're talking about. This is hard to explain. I had Randy Clark on this program a few weeks ago. Yeah, I saw it. And he was talking about this. And I didn't even know that he'd been affiliated with the Toronto Blessing as it's called. He was a starter. Why no, I didn't know that. And it's hard. A lot of people get really freaked out by this. They say, this cannot be God. I don't trust it. And a lot of people that I respect a lot, I disagree with them, but they would say that, I just don't believe the Holy Spirit would have people acting out in this way and that way. And they make a lot of sense. I just think ultimately they're missing something. So you, where were you physically? Were you still in the LA area? Sure, yeah, I was in LA and where I got touched was the annual Anaheim Vineyard Healing Conference they have every January. So this is Wimber. John Wimber, he was hosting it. And Francis McNutt was one of the speakers, just great, great speakers. And he begins the conference on a Wednesday night by making the announcement. This is around January 25th. He said, we just got word that one of our churches in Toronto, there's been an unusual visitation of the Holy Spirit. And so he said, the same thing happened to our people this past Sunday. We were sending out all these young people to New Zealand on a short term winter trip. And as we prayed for them, they fell down laughing and they could not stop for over an hour. He said, this is not normal people. This is not normal for our church. So we know something is up. And so what basically what he was saying was fasten your seatbelt because God's on the move. There's another visitation. And of course, John Wimber was the one who brought the third wave that was come Holy Spirit with him and he was one of my professors at Fuller because I took his course, Signs and Wonders in Church Growth. Amazing miracles were being done through the vineyard movement. And of course, Jesus is a healer, but they were being used powerfully in Southern California. And so here I get powerfully touched. I mean, I have never shook, even though I've been born again since 1973, but I got prayed over by Mahesh Shavu who's a dear friend now. And I shook violently for like 20 minutes. You see, this is the kind of thing that I think freaks out some people. And when I was at the Global Awakening here in New York, I saw some people, quote, unquote, manifesting in this way. One thing you can say for sure, it's not the person, it's something going on. So then the question, the logical question becomes, is this demonic or is this God? And that's the only question to try to figure out because anybody who says like, oh, it's made up, whatever, it is not made up, it's something spiritual. Now convinced I'm that it is God. So it could be demonic. But it could be demonic. And this is where you need wisdom. You need people that are really steeped in the scriptures and have walked with God and have discernment. We're gonna go to a break, but I'm just so glad we came to this spot. We're gonna continue the conversation as long as you can hang out. Che Ho An is with us. Che An is with us in the city. I'm so excited. This is a Miracle Monday. I'm just so thrilled to have you. We'll continue the conversation. Folks, you do not wanna go away.

And I never would say this if he were here because I wouldn't want to embarrass him, but the person that I'm going to interview in a couple of seconds, some of you know all about him. If you don't, you will very soon. His name is Ricky Skaggs. He is a legend in the music industry. He has 15 Grammy Awards in 1982. He was the youngest member ever at that time to be inducted into the Grand Ole Opry. When he was six years old, the father of Bluegrass, Bill Monroe, picked this six -year -old out and said, would you play for us? He went on to become a seven -year -old playing with Lester Flatt and Earl Scruggs. There's videotape of it. In 1971, when he was still extremely young, teenager, went off to play with Ralph Stanley in his band. By about 1980, country legend Chet Atkins credited him, my guest Ricky Skaggs, with saving country music. Have you heard enough? He has played, performed, produced with Barry Gibb. Emmylou Harris in the 70s produced Dolly Parton, worked with Bruce Hornsby in the Amana Radar range. In 2021, the President of the United States gave him the National Medal of Arts. Again, I wouldn't say this if he was here in the studio, but he is a legend. And I'm very embarrassed to say I think he's right here in the studio. I never would have said this, Ricky, if I knew you were sitting here. Ricky, my new friend, welcome. It's great to be here, Eric. I was sitting there listening to you make all these nice things, and we could be talking about all kinds of other things. So anyway, I appreciate it, and you're a man of honor. I made a lot of this stuff up. I just want my audience to know this couldn't be true. So I'll have to live up to the things that you said. When you were six years old, now, you know, you're in your late 60s now. So when you were six years old, which would put us back about 1960, you played with Bill Monroe. That is very hard to comprehend. I know my dad bought me a mandolin when I was five. And so I learned, you know, why do you do that? I had been singing in church with him and mom since I was like three years old. And this is in old Kentucky. In Kentucky, and we would sing songs together at home. And then when we go to church, we'd get up and they would set me, literally set me on the pulpit, and I would sing harmony with mom and dad. They would set you on the pulpit. Yeah. See, up here, we'd say, put you up on the pulpit. But down there, they would set you on the pulpit. That sounds better. That sounds more American. But you, the reason I'm saying this is you obviously at that time already had a gift for harmonizing. You could hear and sing. And so they knew that they needed to encourage you. So your dad at age five gets you a mandolin. And already at age six, Bill Monroe is taking notice of you. Well, mom and dad and I would play at church, like I said. And then dad and I would go to this little local grocery store there in Blaine, Kentucky, and they would set me up on the pop case, you know, that had that. So it wasn't a pulpit. It was the pop case. That's the marketplace version. Right. Yeah. So I was getting I was getting my teeth ready for the marketplace back then. But I would sit and play and sing and people would want to get a Coke. So I'd have to scoot over and they, you know, it was a double door. And look, you were so cute. I saw the video of you I saw with flat and scrubs, which people can look up on YouTube. But I mean, you were so darn cute at age seven. And when he says, what's your name? You say, Ricky Skaggs. It's so cute. It's unbelievably cute. But even cuter is the song you sing. Because for a seven year old to sing a song about a broken heart and a woman who left me is funny. Yeah, I didn't understand those things back then. I just liked the song and the song was Ruby. Are you mad at your man? Ruby. Oh, Ruby. I mean, to hear you mad at your man and the 70 year old singing it while he's playing. And that's what I sung with the Bill Monroe thing. You know, it was a hit. Are you mad at your man? You know, the neighbors in the hood at this little high school for Bill Monroe was playing. And you know, they started shouting out after half hour, Mr. Monroe's set. They started shouting out, let little Ricky Skaggs get up and sing, you know. And my dad didn't plant these people, I promise you, you know. And anyway, I didn't even take a mandolin with me. So the irony of the whole thing is that I had to play this size mandolin. You had to play. I had to play his mandolin. You played Bill Monroe's mandolin when you were six years old? Six years old. And I, you know. Not many people can say that. He took the strap around and, you know, wrapped it around the curl here so that it would fit me. Right. Set it on me. And I said, you know, they said, what do you want to do? And I said, Ruby. And so it was a popular song by the Osborne brothers, Bob and Sonny Osborne. And so away we went, you know, and you know, no mistakes, no, you know, I didn't flip out, didn't faint or anything, fall on the floor, didn't drop his mandolin. Well, you were too young to be self -conscious, probably. Yeah, I didn't know what that was, you know. If you were 11, you would have just freaked out. I probably would have. But he sent me back off stage and then did his big famous Mule Skinner Blues just to rat me, show me up. No, I don't know that for sure. But I just, you know, the crazy thing about that is when I became a member of the Country Music Hall of Fame, they wanted me to take out of the, they got some, some instruments in a place in the Country Music Hall of Fame Museum called the Precious Jewels. They have Earl Scruggs' banjo. They have Maybelle Carter's famous archtop. What? They still have that? Yeah. They have Bill Monroe's F5 mandolin in the case, so they took it out for me. Do they have Mother Maybelle's tortoiseshell combs? Maybe. I'm just kidding. But I mean, who knew that? Unless you're sitting here, I wouldn't know that they would have these objects. These are like sacred relics. But they let me play that same mandolin that I played when I was six years old. He kept that mandolin all his life. He got it in 1945, found it in a barber shop in Miami, Florida. Of all places, you know, to be in Miami, Florida, walking the streets, just out walking around, and happened to look in a barber shop with thousands of barber shops in Miami, Florida. So Bill Monroe found it in 1945. And went in and bought it for $200. And used it for the 15 years until he met you. Then he lets you play it. He keeps playing it, and today it still exists. Yeah, it does. And was busted up, and still, you know, Gibson put it back together meticulously. But it's amazing. And it just brought back so many memories. It almost closed a door, or closed a season of my life, you know, to play that mandolin at six years old, and then get to play it again, going into the most famous, you know. When did they induct you into the Country Music Hall of Fame? 2018. So they waited way too long. Shame on you. No, it's almost funny to me, because it is, you know, you, listen, if in 1980, Chet Atkins, the legend, you know, credits you with saving country music from the commercialization that it was undergoing because of the urban cowboy fad and John Travolta hiss. But it's just kind of funny to me, because you've been in this world, you know, forever. The idea that you were playing with Ralph Stanley, when you were just a kid, what was it, 1971, so you're like 17, were you still in high school? I mean, you're still in high school. Yeah. Did you graduate? No, I wanted to go to the Stanley School of Music, so I wanted to stay. We started, Keith Whitley and I started when we were 16, and played the summer with Ralph, and then we had to go back to school, and, you know, Ralph wanted us to go get our education, and I thought, man, this is the education I want right here, you know. I think a lot of people understand. Folks, I'm talking, in case you're just tuning in, this is Ricky Skaggs sitting here, we will continue the conversation on all kinds of subjects, don't go away.

Dr. G and Mr. Reagan Rewatch John Milius' "Conan the Barbarian"
"This is iconic as well. So this comes out when, you know, I am a teenager originally in 1982. And for me, it's kind of had a legendary place in the pan of plea of my childhood, my teen years, but as I watched it yesterday, I sat down and I watched it from beginning to end. It changed in quality for me, Chris. This wasn't a cheesy exploitation movie with ropey sets and bad writing. Dude, this is a really good movie. Yeah. Yeah, it's really an epic. Yeah. Truly epic. I mean, you follow the hero's journey from the moment that he's changed as a little boy when his family is slaughtered by his enemies to the point where he finally gets revenge as an adult. Watching that journey is truly cool. I mean, my ancestors are Barbarians, right? They're the German Barbarians. And he's not exactly that, right? He's not exactly a historical depiction of a Germanic barbarian. But I was thinking about that when I was watching this. And I think part of the reason why this film is so good because you did have cheaper quality films of this type at the time. I saw that the sword and sorcery genre. Exactly. They didn't do quite as well. Why did this break out? I mean, first of all, Schwarzenegger, of course, magnificent performance there. There were some other magnificent performances which we'll get to. But I think the attention to detail, right? And I think that comes down to John milius deciding, we are going to put this in a northern European setting, even though they shot it in Spain. But we're going to make this a northern European warrior, just like the books, just like the historical Barbarians. And he did seem to try at least to make some semblance of something that a historian would recognize as the life and times of a barbarian. And

Why Chiefs will win Super Bowl: experience and talent
"Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes goes into the Super Bowl as the NFL's MVP. But he knows that she's often can operate as efficiently as the blocking by his offensive line. Everybody knows that everything starts up front. And so it would be a great challenge for offensive line to try to do what they can in the run game and the pass game of protecting and run blocking. Mahomes is wary of the eagles sack totals with 70 during the regular season since sacks became an official statistic in 1982, only the Chicago Bears in 1984 and the 1989 Minnesota Vikings have had more.

Who Is 'First Casualty' Author Toby Harnden?
"Before we get into these amazing stories, Mike span, David Tyson, John walker lind, who is Toby Honda. Tell us about what you did in the British armed forces and your life as a journalist before you became an author. Yes, well, you know, we share a somewhat similar accent as listeners and viewers will detect. You still got yours. Our minds kind of rubbing off a little bit, but I don't know. I'm worried. I'm worried about mind getting a little bit Americanized. But I trust yeah, you're a bit soggy in the middle of the Atlantic somewhere. Yeah, I mean the ace. So yeah, I'm 56 years old, I was born in 66. My father was in the navy. We moved around, we sort of ended up in Manchester, industrial city in the northwest. You don't have a mancunian accent. I think the Royal Navy actually did for the mancunian accent, which was pretty skin deep anyway. But you know, I sort of, you know, I wanted to follow in my father's footstep, I guess there's so many sort of young men do. And I also wanted to get out of Manchester and see the world and it just seemed like a very kind of insular sort of small sort of place. And so all that teenage angst was just channeled towards working hard to get out. And so I got a sponsorship from the I joined the navy at 18. Went to Dartmouth, which is the Britannia royal naval college, kind of the equivalent of the U.S. naval academy at Annapolis, but not really because it's more basic officers training. It's like santas is shorter. Yeah, that's right. I mean, I was there for less than a year. And I threw the navy I got a sponsorship to Oxford to study modern history, so I went off whilst serving naval officer, although I barely wore the uniform for those years apart from a few months sailing around sort of Hong Kong and the far east and Australia. So I had some good times. Yes, exactly. So I was serving naval officer for three years at college and then graduated from college and was pitched in to a career. Which I enjoyed immensely, but you know, it was after the Falklands War, which was 1982, I was joining and supplying to join just sort of join the Falklands actually, age 16. But I missed that. I was stationed in Scotland for the Gulf War, tried very hard to get involved. They managed to that's a long way away from Iraq. I know. They managed to win it without meeting my services. And I remember my boss at the time said, listen to, we don't worry about it. There's going to be plenty of time for medals. And I remember thinking, no, there won't. And of course I left after ten years of service without a single

"You've been hearing that inflation is at a 40 year high That we haven't seen this kind of inflation since 1982 And the ladies and gentlemen that would be bad enough But Andrew Whitmer over at American thinker points out that 40 year numbers misleading Deflation is obviously shot up with incredible speed as happened in 1982 But real inflation is probably worse Than the accelerated rate suggests That's because in 1990 The government changed how a calculated inflation something it also did in 1980 So it did it in 1990 And the George H. W. Bush and did it in 1980 under Carter John Williams shadow government statistics calculates inflation as it would have been calculated before 1980 And before 1990 according to his numbers inflation would have been over ready 15% using pre 1980 metrics and over 10% using pre 1990 metrics

"The president of the United States is lying to the American people about inflation. Literally lying. His statement makes no sense.

Let me share with you. By the way, inflation miserable again. Highest rates and so June 1982, an increase in consumer prices of 7%. We're all paying more for everything right now. Absolutely everything. And he's trying to spin it. He actually wants you to believe prices are going down when they're going up. He said, today's report, which shows a meaningful reduction in headline inflation over the last month, I don't think so. It went from 6.8 to 7. That would be a two tenths of a percent increased Joe. If you ever went to math class, anyway, he said the reduction in headline inflation over last month with gas and food prices falling again wrong, food prices, they went up Joe. I'm going to go through the numbers. They demonstrate that we are making progress. We're making progress in slowing the rate of price increases. No, you're not. No, you're not. You know what we got a minor downtick in oil prices gas prices rather down 2.2% in the month of December, but you know why that was, it was because everybody stayed home because of omnikron.

"And I just know Oh, my God, that something went wrong in the 2020 election. And what I am curious about is why is nobody talking about Mike Lindell and his, um, lawsuits with Dominion, not to mention his two documentaries, absolute proof and absolutely absolutely interference. And then his additional, absolutely 9 to 0 where he presents evidence. Of what could have possibly happened, Uh, during the 2020 election, I say it that way. Just because I have my mind my mind made up, but we definitely need to get to the bottom of that. But at the same time we do need to focus on 2022. And I believe that that's going to start locally in the school board. If you look at what the left has done with our Children, they're indoctrinating them. You know, critical race theory. You've mentioned it multiple times. And the thing is, is, uh Like that's that's how they Able to continually supply you know, Antifa and black lives matter with, you know, bodies that, you know, willingly agree with those ideologies simply because they have Not been taught anything else. And that's where I think that we need to really start as local school boards. Definitely because we take away that indoctrination. Then we kind of take away their You know, there are people that they're able to get out there to spread their ideology in a violent manner. Um But, Jackson, do you ever listen to my podcast? You ever listen to my podcast? And how did you do you remember that show I did a while ago. Speaking of the education system, and I agree with you, By the way, we have to focus on both 2022.

Science Fiction Remnant
"1982" Discussed on Science Fiction Remnant
"Technology will be faster than we think of and and like the guy wine that they have for its fantasy well it also helps For star trek. Mostly that anything that you could consider the fantastical parts star. Trek just happened to take place in the science fiction world I mean. I love the star wars movies. I love the shows. I love the books and everything about it. But they're all based on fantasy. While i don't i i'm not one of those people that says that star wars isn't science fiction it just is science fiction and it has its own little spot called space fantasy because they're based on the arthurian legends the master based on samurai from ancient japan mississippi. The the force and things like that. I couldn't agree with you more. I mean that's that's what i say. Star trek tries to tries to say theorize so much about the science fiction that he will get you confused but star wars doesn't try to sugar coated. They are much sci-fi as they are fantasy like Robert you've probably seen more star trek than gio. I assume elia like q mortar uber. I but yeah q. Does he like or any of the other q. Like entities which are these there these beings that can just manipulate matter. That's magic right. Well they they spin it off in a way that they say. I've ascended to this higher plane of existence. I'm no longer bound by the reality of the material world. That's what allows me to do. Whatever i wanna do with thought whereas in star wars and. There's nothing wrong with the way that you know. George decided to do this. But he's just it's the force that's what it is you you move. You can move a planet the force you can project yourself across the galaxy and pretend to fight your nephew. That's the force that's okay. That's fine star trek. They just try to church it up a little bit. I guess but i like to give a little twist. 'cause here's my observation. To if if you actually think further those things. I little bit mixed up with our reality. Because when read a lot about mysticism yogis and people that reach near vajna and so and so these are things that they're supposedly capable of doing to in our reality. Though in some way they always makes up so much with the reality of a real world that eats easier for you to transport yourself to that world.

There was like something going on pretty much every single time. Except for like there was a there was a slight. There was a slight lull toward off an hour and fifteen minutes. You guys toward the third part of the movies like the first one. It's almost two hours long. I'm like why the fuck is this movie almost two hours long it shorter though. It's an hour forty three but also too long but kim the creditor like seven minutes long so it's only like an hour thirty five. It's fucking terrible. I thought this was really good. I loved it.

"So. We had some technical difficulties there. I'm having a power outage poltergeist. Wow i've never had. That happened before. That was weird that we're the birthday song that's never happened either. So this is. This is a hell of an episode. We apologize for that don. I'm sorry what i was trying to say. I guess the power outage hosts were not too happy about your no yeah. I'm a better walk away from my duty. Oh yeah so no what. I was trying to say that. I was thinking it was going to be more like amityville horror conjuring and it's not we've done in the eighties and i get that so if if you're going into thinking that no you're not going to get but if you're going like you said if you know more t. s. close encounters ask type supernatural entertaining film Than yeah absolutely it's just to me. It's not a horror film. It's more of a sci. Fi supernatural thriller. But i use that term thriller loosely With with a good with a good message at the end with a very good message. And i i agree with the characters and the family dynamic and the family bond and the mother daughter. I agree with all that that was great I guess i just had different expectations. So yeah so the sound problem that i had that didn't help you. There helped if i. If i would ahead his booming sound that i should have had with my new soundbar and several for and so i didn't get any other volume so yeah that's why you didn't like it. 'cause you're pissed off. That's i thought my broke. And i'm getting all upset. Diana's like you know women don't get at least my my wife doesn't give a shit about any of that. She's not an audio three. Like i am. She could give a shit about a soundbar. I mean come on. That's it she does has no bearing on her her enjoyment. She just yet she's like. Why are you must work out so anyway. So does she listen to this sometime. Shut it off drug. I'm in trouble. No but so. I i feel like i don't want to bash the. I hope it doesn't feel like i'm done. You can pass like doing that. You can do that. I don't wanna do that. 'cause i respect spielberg i respect toby. I love them both. I really do and i. i guess. That's what i wanted to say. Just wanted to get that off my chest that see it like that type of spielberg film. I think you'll love it. But don't see it with expectations of like like i was saying like amityville or like a conjuring. Thanks supernet crazy ass supernatural shit that you know it's going to blow your out of your chair. You know that's not what this is. It's not a creepy scary jump. Scare type edgier nail biter is just not it's not it's just more entertaining and You know sifi so yeah. That's what i would. That's what i would say. So and that's what they can and that's what spielberg comes at it. Like just like he did with with close encounters. Because if you look at close encounters as great as that movie is it's got that spielberg touch where it's kinda like toned down for kids right. You know and he had their reputation at that time. He i think he wanted to get away from you. Know that horror film director because he did jaws ended so well a lot of people. Consider that you know a horror film and itself. Oh yeah it's more. Yeah i learned whatever but it does have a lot of elements to it so people were really excited when they heard that spielberg was attempting. Horror film poltergeist and of course you know tobe hooper. Even though his credit as director was kinda like sidelined and spielberg ended up writing a letter to him apologizing for that allow. You know he felt bad that you know. A lot of people weren't paying attention to him. They paying more attention to spielberg guys. Doing a horror film holy pair about. Yeah you got you know. I i know once we were you know. He's changed he. When i wasn't expecting when i saw schindler's list i was not. I just going to say i was not expecting that i was expecting. Oh well what could spill a subject matter. How and it's brutal and you're like wow spielberg did. He got best director. for that. He went he went all the awards for that. Yeah house on that. It is bloody black and white. It's very bloody it's gone. I never would have guessed fierberg if you if you watch that film. That's like really. Wow when you watch the film is exquisite. It's grant create a filmmaking every framing. It film is taking with such and just got so balloon. I highly recommend that one. That's a great schindler's list. Must see i mean especially if you're going to be a filmmaker. Oh my guy you have to see the ads really good. I mean even even saving private ryan delete private ryan. He did program ryan to all night guy at the scene to scene on the beach lord. Well that opened the normandy ages. All my guys beginning. Yeah that most seen. I've seen unlocked brutal brutal. I mean he's changed and i'm like wow that would be great if spielberg went back and did a horror film now. You know just did a brutal horror film. Sure you know he could do it. Obviously but you know at this time. We poltergeists came out. He was the changing his tune going into the kids did. At i mean look at t and it's just like oh my god it's such a kids movie but it's getting really good film. It's fantastic amazing. It's got that tattoo. It and like i said i. It's not the the be all end all horror film. I like it for other reasons than writing a pseudo horror film. Yeah just like. I said you know mostly i loved the script. The script is unbelievable. Good If you're wanted to become a screenwriter. I would suggest trying to get a hold of the script and just read it and just study it because it's very well written. I mean it is amazing. It is an amazing script. 'cause they take out all the cheesy effects that are in it. And then you're like you see it for what it is in the dynamic of the character development in the story and it's very well done and Yeah i i would use that as kind of like a like a platform for any movie that make you know anyway. You can't go wrong with spielberg you can then again i didn't i didn't i didn't dislike the movie i just but again i mean you know. He wasn't wasn't really the director. I mean he hit a lot of influence. Yeah but it didn't feel like a tobe hooper movie nowadays and it really didn't so when it first came out it was exciting. Because you're like. Wow tober guy. Did texas chainsaw massacre and steven spielberg together to shit. I know i know. It's kind of like romero and stephen king and stephen king with creepshow..

Rob i know i should really love it. I'm not just okay. i'm not. I'm not trying to. I liked this movie for different reasons. And because one i'm biased because i really liked steven spielberg work I know too. I love toby. Hooper's work and like. I said i got this huge crush on joe beth williams so i was kinda like infatuated with her. Yeah and just sitting there watching that movie go. Oh my gosh. So yeah she's yeah she's a. She's a hottie. Oh yeah there's this one moment in the film that i absolutely love and it still gets me every time it's after everything has happened. They're moving He's gonna have to go into work. Yeah and she turns her head to him and they look at each other both of them in the look on jo beth williams face of you know i love you so much. Oh yea anything. It's just facial expressions. Yeah i'm like. Yeah that's such a great moment. I think they do. They say it's rounded out by sitting. And you can't hear it there's just mouth it like the mouth it. Yeah but the look on her face because she just turns and then she looks at him and she has such intense look under face of i love. You and i was like only could do that with me. We'll have her on the show rafter. Let's do that. Oh man yeah to crush on her. Oh my yeah that's right. Yeah yeah yeah you do like a babbling mess you show god damn what you recommend this movie really at the well. I just. it's bad to you. I mean it wasn't bad it. Just i guess i was expecting okay. L. preconceived notions of different expectations. And i thought it was gonna be something that it wasn't. And so i felt like he was just a little let down and it just seemed mediocre at that point so i can appreciate a lot of it and i agree with you on a lot of points I would say. I would say this if you're if you're looking for Mrs kay i'm having deja vu right now. This is kinda sad this going. don't speak. don't breathe breathe. Yeah yeah like. I'm like absolutely insane nuts about this and you're like that. I knew this was going to have. But i didn't know it was going to happen with a class so i spoke too soon when i was going. I really does moving in seen anything. And you're like what about you. So now i wasn't expecting this from you but go go. I know you weren't and i just I would go into it with an expectation of not a horror film. And you're gonna have to hold back. You can see like i. I'm just gonna gonna let us go ahead. I don't like this man come on. It's almost like e. T. s. like natural. I agree with you. So if you're looking for that kind of a film absolutely i you know. Go ahead and watch this one for that If you're looking for that. But if you're looking for like like a conjuring or like oh you're gonna like medieval horror. No you're not going to. That's not. That's not what this is. And i guess that was my thing is i thought it was going to be more. Like an amityville. Four or like conjuring or like.

"Sequels. I know yeah i know. But they were filming poltergeist. Three while i was in college in chicago. I'll wow yeah when i was gonna columbia college. I was in downtown chicago. So i to experiences. One with child's play and the other with poltergeist. Three they did some kind of explosion for poltergeist. Three disrupted our class and they did an dated. An explosion for child's play when they blew up the Toy store and just disrupted my class. In fact. I think. I talked about this i. I walked past at that toy store every day going to school. That know what. I i found out that was part of trout's point the first one. Yeah the first one. Yeah okay okay. And i walked on the red carpet on the untouchables because they learned Colleges down on state street into l. capone's host. Oh yeah crazy wow blush. Where's that is that is that is that plan to pull what's he doing. And all my god that's hanging out the old nineteen eighteen cars and shit. And i'm like what the fuck this that's so anything. I walk right across a carpenter. You don't and that's a great movie to chicago. I miss about the movies that used to be shoot news. Shoot all kinds of movies and i still do but i miss that city. That is one of the. I don't know if anybody has the chicago. It's gotta be the cleanest city you've ever experienced so much to do. Its lakefront. Scalia much history and use iem. Oh i love chicago downtown chicago. I would give anything to live down there. Oh you gotta come up sometime and crash here and we'll hang out. We'll go into the city. Catch a ball game. And i just loved it could take l. You think to any part of chicago go see the just take the you know. It's great. I used to take the train from the suburbs into To the main train station and from the main train station to columbia college. Yeah and i walk past sears tower and station yeah installation. That's right and Sears tower every time ago pastures tower so windy the wind would just come down the building. And it's like an area is too low. I love that walk. And it's just like you know i didn't feel like Like afraid somebody who's gonna mug me or anything like that. yeah. I don't know something about that city and the and of course. The chicago river is always green. 'cause they turn it green for saint patrick's day. Yes that's just keeps turning green so that water never changes. It's always green. Emily show yes. Yeah anyway i got sidetracked there. Oh that's okay something. I wanted to ask you though. They did a remake of poltergeist. I saw on amazon. And how did you see that l. no l. mill. Okay now no interest. You probably would like that one. Probably ause the irs scarier than i saw the trailer. And i'm like they're probably taking it to the next level because it's a ghost house pictures movie which is run by sam ramey so i know that and what. When did that come out like an hannah came and went okay. I don't know if it did well. Of course. I know you're not interested because you're i know you love the original forgotten that they did a remake of it. I was like god really. How can yeah. But i guess this next generation because if the generation today so this movie probably the same way you did and goes kind of boring special foul on a crappy not really scary. And that's bad. No i had two great directors. And i do. I thought you know i can. I should lock us. Go and i'm like i you know again You know. I saw this movie when it came out. You know so. I have already in a deep love of the film. That's true. But i know when locked when i watch it again i was like yeah i i just. I looked past all the the the again. It's not the perfect horror film It's not really a balls out. Horror film is not even. Call it that i would call them. You look if you look at poltergeists. It's almost exactly insidious Where they have all gone on and then they called the purnell. Investigators come in right frightened on so many guys damn times but this was the innovator had never been done before. Gotcha so you know the scene where they go talk to the investigators and they're kind of like you know we've been doing all this stuff and they're bragging about the you know the guy you know had footage of this card. It moved across seven feet. Crossed the loan whatever's again across the floor and like how long that take two seven hours is like oh any opens up the door and things flying in air. So yeah it's just Yeah it's cliche. It's like the special folks are kind of corny you the hulk riding a you know a horse flying around I never i. When i saw the movie. I really think it was a scary film. Was just kinda like this. Yeah this there's a couple of moments but definitely no not really jump scares. She's not jump. Scare is the clown seen you know. That's probably probably the most controversial thing in the film is The scenes where they're in the pool. Well it's not the pool but they're in the water in the backyard. You know the the beginning of pool. Yeah yeah they dug everything out for the pool so anyway the the skeletons that pop up Big thing was is that They couldn't afford fake skeletons so they real ones and really they talk. They talk about people set going. The stench from these real skeletons was terrible. Complaining about that and yeah it's crazy. I'm like why did they get real skeletons. That's crazy joe al in. I think i'm kind of biased great. I'll give them that. I'm also kind of. Because i can ahead a big huge crush on. Joe beth williams. Oh my god he's cutie. She was like when i saw this. Of course. When i was younger i was like. That's that's the type of girl loved mary. I want her she who i know her is she and other movies. I know she had a really. I mean she's a had a great career only see what kind of movies i mean. She said she did like kramer versus kramer. Stir crazy the big challenge. She was in africa. Obviously poltergeist to Just looks very familiar. I mean the later movies. Nothing that big but Alka i think the big chill was a big one for her. Yeah yeah.

"But it was a problem so it was a problem so that took away from the film to and i'm like i thought something was wrong with my. I just got this thing for christmas. And i'm like after the movie. I put another movie on was fine. You know normally put it up to like you know volume number sixteen or seventeen and that's plenty now. I had this thing up to thirty and it was just like this should be blown me through the wall and it's not so that that was bad so that i mean that's not the fault of the movie you know some that's taken out of the film so i don't know if you really got you know the maybe i didn't. I never thought no. I mean i get it. You know the thing. The thing about this movie is is that really. It really set the standard for that type of movie because no one haggling it when it came out this type of movie this nineteen eighty-two yeah in spielberg's at the at the height of his his notoriety at that time yeah and You know and. I don't know it's you have to look at it passed for the you know you look you so all. It's a poltergeist. You know it's not really it's about family and the film. I don't really shows the strength of a mother and daughter bond. And that's that's the that's the really with the heart in the movies about and that's what i am. This is what i really like about steven spielberg films in general his portrayal of family. Like in the same thing. You get this Portrayal of family. And it's a different than you've seen in any other movie. And he kept true. It is captured as much as you like. Jaws but in poltergeist he get. It is see the family like families. I mean it's a believable family structure there and it wor. I agree but one thing. I wanted to ask you. Sure fry forget one thing. I was just scratching my head on was towards the beginning. You know when In the kitchen you see the stairs checked stacked and the ma and the mom was like what the hell kind of like whoa as you as anybody would normally react but then a in the scene after that or shortly after that i feel like she just bought into it like she's on she's she's on board. She believes this thing. She's not scared of it anymore. Know what i mean. It just seemed like it's pretty quick. Well i don't know that. I was kinda i see that as okay. You know back then. Housewife stayed home. And the you know. The man was the breadwinner and right. So housewife's actually get bored of the day to day routine so if something new like this like like a ghost and it's taking place during the day so she's not feeling threatened and it just you know stuff like okay so i took it as. Hey it's something new. Let's check this out. Then she she she shoving what it down the floor and i'm obviously. She didn't think it was a ghost so she thought something. Something else was happening at the scene in the kitchen where they're sliding across and the chairs and stuff like that. Yeah that's like a like a weird thing and a lot of people don't want to admit that something bad's happening now. She doesn't realize it's a bad thing until her daughter gets taken right back then. She becomes scared and she does it differently right then. There's kind of like a novelty like. Oh this could end at any time. It's just like something weird just happened here phenomenon. Okay just struck me weird. I don't know. I can see that but that would the whole time. That's how i take it but you're going in preconceived you already have these preconceived notions that it's a horror film and at that point you're still in this family structure. Where if something like that happening. How do you tell other people without them. Thinking you're crazy you have to show him right. Yeah nobody would believe it until you showed. It said that there's a whole bunch of chair stacked up and they don't know how it happened. I angry and all of a sudden the chair's going across the room in you're like well you got to see you know the up into yet right. You're what have you been drinking drinking all day. That's true it. Just but i get where you're coming from but that's how i see it. That's how you okay. I see it as part of the family of consider family was pretty open. You know. there's a scene. Here's a scene in the movie where she goes. Remember when you had the open mind. And that's before. She chose him in the chair moving. Oh yeah he was kind of like. I don't know what this is but no one's going into the kitchen to i find out what it is and he didn't think it was a ghost either. It's at the first thing that popped in their head. They weren't horror fans. Obviously so right. But i liked it namic. I mean i like okay. I like how that family reacts to. It seem realistic to me. And i think somebody going. Oh my god that's chairs on the table. Mcadam freaking out what it is. Oh you know work. I liked him coming at it as a novelty at first and then all of a sudden now it's dangerous. Okay all right okay. Like i said your point isn't valid. But that's how yeah. Yeah so it's a good point it is. It wasn't jay. I want to ask you about that. I just yeah i It was entertaining it. Just it just wasn't. I don't know i know it's gated. I know that you know a first time. i'm sure it was one credible groundbreaking. And all that i was and i know that you know fans loved this film and I don't know if i just. I like a different style. you know and But i can appreciate. I can appreciate the film. Absolutely you know and i know that they were going for well. I agree with you that you know the special effects are very dated. You can tell they are the one When she's trying to get into the room and looks like a puppet. I don't know what the hell that thing was. And the yeah and then when they go into the room with the you know the investigators and the things flying around. It's like well. That's pretty obvious and i really liked that scene. I just think it's a kind of a test that humor. You know whether They bring the investigators in and sitting around the table and the coffee mugs. Moving around and the lights flicker and she's like there'll be another one you know next year. Yeah it's like. That's not what the movie's about and that's really when you get it. It's like they don't care about the ghost and if they're going to kill him all i care about is getting their daughter back and that's the central focus. How they out. And then then when he bring when he bring in the clairvoyant and she's a piece of work line. It's an interesting character. I like care. I liked her as a character. Yeah I don't know if a midget who she smaller little people like me and i like her attitude. 'cause actually that's realistic because she's probably been picked on her life and all names all your stuff all different and But just like her attitude and that's exactly what happens when You know the father reacts to her and he's like what is this you know he's like we bringing in. Is this the circus or whatever. I don't forget the lines that he says but he's like he's like i'm trying to talk to my mind right. Didn't answer and then eventually she does okay but yeah i understand something. All the stuff that happens in this movie has been taken and put into so many other horror films all so i can see you not liking this film. Because.

It's really interesting we've gotten through. there's only four episodes. I watched the first two. I think it's yahoo is good. It's great it's really good. So that's what we recommend chicken outlets really injury to. Yeah yeah i mean it's it's not a great part of town like blair witch where it's fake okay. This is real okay. Yeah absolutely. I mean all this stuff really happened. Yeah i mean you'd had murderers readied saul kind. You know people committing suicide at this hotel jumping out a window. Yeah it's crazy. Yeah so this is obviously taunted to. Yeah absolutely yeah. Did you watch anything i did. I did okay. What did you watch and tell you. I just Scare me yeah. I did you watch that too. I didn't but i watched the trailer and it just didn't seem was let good. Yeah am i right or did you started off really good okay and then it just after the. I don't know the cause they they don't show anything they tell these stories in the acted out. And that's the premise again. Give me though. I mean it's not going to give spoilers. There's two riders there in the mountains. They're trying to write. Whatever one lady's writing a book. This other guys writing a book. Okay just trying to you know. Be away from everything. So they can write a book and they running into each other while they're jogging on the mountain and So they decide to tell stories to pass the time or they're you know they start telling the stories about their book. Oh and then they find out that the girl is a world famous writer. He's like a starting out he's like. I can't compete and can't tell stories. So start telling stories and acting him out and after davel t wears out the movie. Just kind of just drags out for long in. It's not that. I thought it was gonna be funny. I mean it's funny in parts but it wasn't that funny. I was like he thought it was gonna be kinda like christopher land. I thought it was gonna be. Yeah clever and stuff like that. It's just Now kind of lost me. I was getting bored after awhile. I mean it's acted. Well it's just it just takes place in a in a living room in a cabin pretty much old movie. Realize i'm just telling stories and i'm like well it's not even funny. Creepy scary have gary. They have title right. And then they have another guy come in That's a pizza pizza delivering a pizza and he starts telling stories and just didn't make sense and i don't know it just it just wasn't feeling it wasn't the writing and the acting in the pacing and everything was just off in my opinion. I just wouldn't recommend it wouldn't recommend thumbs down unless it's somewhere where you don't have to pay this year. That's okay. i didn't like it. But i just didn't hit me in the right way and i didn't didn't really it. I was kinda fallen asleep through the middle. All did you re all my like okay. Well okay i get it Where's this going did you watch. Did you get through to the end. Or actually i didn't i i can't i can't watch like okay. Check out any reviews with other people. Like i don't know i didn't look at it. But you know christopher landon movie and how can funny they are. I'm just the bar is high rab ours high. Yeah i enjoy it. Dads the problem when you find these gems. Well you know it's if the writings okay. It's not like it was bad writing. It was just okay. Just wasn't entertaining enough for them to sit there and tell stories. I mean the stories were good. But they're asking us enough there that they could have done something things differently now know the direction that they were trying to do. I was like this isn't working. I don't think this is something that the idea. What would have been great for a short but for feature gotcha doesn't work you know. It's like okay. Have they tell us. Yeah it's over and that's what. I was feeling when i saw the trailer on. Go with this well. I thought the trailer was pretty clever. And it was entertaining. I'm like well thinking do that. Maybe it'll work It seemed like it was very hard and unfortunately the actors they needed some like really good comedians. To be in this type of okay. I think it would have worked a lot better. But that's just a you. Were thinking it was supposed to be like a horror comedy like. It was kinda like this. I don't know what it was scary. It wasn't that funny it was just kinda they're kinda there that's how that's what. That's what i felt when i was watching the trailer. I know you said the trailer was was decent. I just when i watched. And i'm like i don't know sometimes out you know. Sometimes i'm like you know like good reviews about it and of course you know rotten. Tomatoes gave a really good reviews. Mike shit now now. It seems like it's or something i don't know. Yeah i just don't trust. But then i like we talked about last couple of a episode sessions episodes. I mean i. I'm all flustered. i just don't know. I forty five degrees today. Where you can have an aneurysm. What the hell we got above freezing. And i just lost my mind today. I think that's what it was. We got the forty five. And i just didn't know what to do. I just yeah. I don't know what your house alone. Okay i expected them to be there and everything you know. I haven't heard scratching.

"And because there's inconsistencies between who's playing what character and they keep rebooting and retrying and doing different versions of the same character gets kind of like it gets a little hard to follow it because if you start to like a character then all of a sudden you get another movie or tv show with somebody else playing the same character maybe in a different way maybe in the same way. And you're like okay. Wait i was just being played by so and so it's like it's it's frustrating. I mean sometimes you get things like joker which were amazing. But i don't know it's that's my biggest problem with dc and this does feel like a disconnect because i mean i enjoyed what i saw. Gotham and i am curious about supergirl and i really like to watch Do patrol but. I'm just not sure what you're going to get. And if they're not all kind of connected because he's characters crossover. I mean swamp thing has met a majority of the other dc characters at one point or another so he's part of that universe Powerful part of that universe dc needs to get their shit together they all come hang out in the swamp or something. I mean as long as he's somewhere where there's life plant life you know he's connected to unless allies about central park right. I mean he's essentially channel. He's essentially eternal as long as there's life on earth he's got up basically a power source and unlimited powers and a lot of ways not entirely but is he. He's a lot more. What's that nothing a lot more than they show him in there. He's a lot more powerful than what they show in in this series. But i enjoyed it. I like i said i really liked to and we watch the whole thing and i was. I knew going into it that no matter what they said about it having a finish by a episode. I'm like there's no way they're going to wrap up all the storylines before the tenth episode and rather than try. I mean i felt like abbie swamps floppies story kind of met a a enough of a soft close that you could have ended it but then they throw in a couple of other things and the whole thing with Woodyear at the end. And it's like okay. You just gave me the middle finger at this point. So i don't know i don't regret it. I don't regret getting into. But i i can't finish it knowing that it's not going to end the way i want it to like. I'd like to see them play out through the love triangle with matt and abby and swamp thing and they're just not going to have the time to ever do that and i'm not gonna finish it knowing that i don't care i mean i don i understand that there's a whole lower behind swamp thing i thought i like swamp thing until i watched the first movie and i just i don't know i guess that kind of broke me because i don't like this at all and as good as well as this was done. I just didn't care anymore now. Don't care about swamping so this is one of those times when going back and looking at something for my childhood really sucked i was like. Oh so no. What don't maybe. Maybe you should watch the cartoons because if you watch cartoons you'll appreciate everything a lot more because you want to talk about awful awful. I think i think it's awful. You should not pretty much not gonna watch. La lumping kind. Yeah it's legitimately awful. I don't know i've i just i. I relate to the character. Not that i feel like i'm him but he's one of the characters that i for whatever reason they connect you with that character. He's he's he's a said like a frankenstein. Tormented spotting character..

"It looks good. I enjoyed it. I didn't dislike it or anything. It's you know but the subject matter. Just don't don't care about the swamp thing.

I thought I mean they just kept setting up like all these different little teases and twists and stuff. And i just found myself just like whatever. I was never even interested in like what happened with this. This the main character and how she killed her best friend on her eighteenth birthday of prom or whatever it was. I just never cared. I mean like. It's just tough to like well i mean not to not be trite. But it's tough to care about something you don't care about around episode ten. What is seen jake busy. That's would have been worth. It will change my mind record this next week so i can watch all the way to that i mean he got his job ripped off. So you know spoiler then he was all teeth.

"The build up of this film is masterful. The quality of the characterizations are the short but very effective. And when it all boils over. There's a lot of power in these performances. And while nitpickers can certainly have a field day over thing i mean it. It does have some plot holes that has some implausible developments here and there. I don't think it really matters because of what you might be looking for going in because the thing is of movie that hooks you in doesn't let go even when you think you can't look you can't turn away either. And that's what people want in their horror. Even though it is graphic horror film. I do think ultimately is succeed more because of its psychological horror than it does in its graphic horror. And that's why. I'm going to give the thing. Four stars out of four four stars on ice keo meas. I think the thing is an excellent movie. I it's a movie that's infinitely real watchable for me. I've watched it probably a dozen times over the years. And i like it more each time. There's just so much going on there and the more distance. I think it is from the time that he came out the more that you you can appreciate the thing. This is a movie that you don't even have to be a lover of the nineteen eighties to appreciate it. And that's why. I think the thing really holds up enough to give it four stars out of four now. The thing did take awhile to for patients to happen. In two thousand five there was a miniseries sequel contemplated to be made for the scifi channel by universal called. Return of the thing. Frank darabont was going to produce but it didn't quite make it to production. There was a big budget remake. Prequel theatrical feature.

"They couldn't get into the characters they complained about. How distasteful how depressing how overbearingly bleak. The film is this was really at a time when people were looking more optimistically for the entertainment in the theaters. The thing also fared very poorly as a result at the box office even fans of the genre against the thing debuted at number eight did fall out of theaters within a month. And it certainly didn't help that. It came out two weeks in the wake of et the more benevolent alien film and three from another fright fest at the movie. Theaters poltergeist coincidentally directed by the original director assigned to the thing tober. The thing only made twenty million dollars off of its fifteen million dollar budget and if you consider advertisement and all that stuff into the mix dot adds up to a loser at the box office carpenter though thinks that a lot of the criticism against the thing was undo especially the accusation that he was glorifying carpet feels no person could copycat murders of this monster in the thing in reality because nobody has those powers this is a fantasy if people also have nightmares about his monster then he feels. He's done his job. Jonathan fans have grown jaded by derivative monsters over the years. So he can give them something. They're genuinely scared of what they want. This is more terrifying. The monster could be anybody anybody around your could be everybody at the same time but for some reason people wanted to criticize him for that in the attacked carpenter. Neil ism and replacing hawks humanity with suspicion and with bleakness and carpenters monster. He thinks should evoke no compassion. Unlike the hawks film is stranger in a strange land this is a creature that if it were defined civilization it would destroy all life on the planet in a matter of weeks. There's no reason to make it sympathetic. The things poor performance obviously displeased universal. In fact so much that they removed carpenter altogether from fire-starter he did get full pay for it for doing nothing but carpenter had hoped for a successful i venture in studio films. Because he wanted to explore genres like his western idea. L. diablo which didn't come to fruition until nineteen ninety nine. He was barely involved by that point. There was a musical you had in mind about a nuclear reactor. Meltdown called permit theus crisis. That was a little bit more hard to sell with success. And release of the china syndrome in nineteen seventy nine. He had an idea for a vietnam war flick and yet another one on the back burner for a the philadelphia experiment called without a trace. It would be released subsequently in a couple of years as the philadelphia experiment. He got story credit for that one. Unfortunately the things financial failure keep carpenter less of the all important control that he wanted in his career and he stayed in the horror..

"They'll the loneliness of being there without women. It was kind of a humorous scene where mcgrady is shown to have a sex doll that was later removed as something. That was too distracting by carpenter. Now one of the pre carpenter screenwriters. I don't know who john carpenter didn't want to name the person but try to frame the alien in the end as he positive symbiotic force rather than a destructive force carpenter. Happy to be a nonconformist. He was kind of a lifelong loner. He wasn't fond of a message of symbiosis. But if you want to see a version of that concept and you want to see women in version of the thing there's a twenty eighteen film called the nile. Elation that has a mostly female cast that does explore these symbiosis theme that this other screenwriter tried to present but was rejected by carpenter. Now getting back to things. Shooting took place primarily in juneau alaska as well as stewart british columbia and carpenter and his crew endured harsh cold lack visibility at various times carpenter and several members of the second crew went without heat or electricity or running water for several days at a time while they were scouting locations and filming exteriors using acting doubles warming sheds and vats of soup were needed at pretty much all times especially because the trailer heating was inadequate. Everybody pretty much got sick. Interiors were done mostly at universal studios but they refrigerated the studios as much as he could to keep things cold. Not quite a freezing. But they did have to contend with things like chemicals in the air and kerosene smoke filling their lungs so it wasn't any picnic either if you're a carpenter. Fan does have his theme of people trapped and having to fight their way out. It's very familiar in that respect than this speaks to carpenters own years of being confined physically or in his career. His love of horror is kind of entrapment. As well. Fear of he feels that. That's a universal. Fear that all audiences the world over can relate to you carpenter in particularly though has a fear of being controlled by other people because he feels that losing that autonomy that he has means losing his identity or the identity of the art that he's trying to create carpenter always seen as kind of an outsider looking in he's not somebody who's able to assimilate very freely. He resists a conformity in favor of maintaining his individuality which is why the thing is something that makes him personally. Afraid now. it's not always easy for carpenter to make this movie. They reduced campbell's characters from thirty seven to twelve for the screenplay but carpenter still felt challenged because there are too many personalities to have to give direction to for particular scenes too difficult to photograph all of them especially when they called for all of them to appear. In a specific room indoors carpenter felt that the middle of the film is also to talky so we started to restructure it. He decided to reshoot several scenes outdoors taking up to the snowy locations to provide more outdoor experience with.

Of this podcast at least a few have reached out to me and put it on their list of ones. They want me to cover the thing from nineteen eighty two also known as john. Carpenter's the thing. Because john carpenter did direct. This film it's r. rated. It does have pervasive gore a lot of gore for its time violence and language. The run time is an hour forty nine minutes. I guess kurt russell's the main star is more of an ensemble piece. it does have wolford bramley. Keith david richard meser.
