EP 131: DEMOLITION MAN - How Many Rats Does it Take to Make a Rat Burger Anyway?

Good Morning!!!

This week we talk Sly Stallone and Sandra Bullock in Demolition Man. We learn that the future has no toilet paper, only 3 silver seashells on a shelf by the toilet to clean your booty...somehow? And can they handle the aftermath of eating a rat burger?

We both retain the conviction that everyone should have a bidet. What the fuck, future? Shells? I'd get a verbal citation every time I pooped too. Dicks. Yes, we use "wads of paper" - don't judge, stupid future.

Enjoy!!!

Love you!!! Bye!!!!!

>> Bridget: 0:04

Foreign.

>> Wendy: 0:10

Good morning.

>> Bridget: 0:10

I'm Bridget.

>> Wendy: 0:11

And I'm Wendy.

>> Bridget: 0:11

And this is Flicking Beans. Sup, woman?

>> Wendy: 0:16

Oh, you know, sun is shining. My mood improves about a thousand percent.

>> Bridget: 0:21

It's gonna be hot again.

>> Wendy: 0:22

Yeah.

>> Bridget: 0:23

Too bad I have to work.

>> Wendy: 0:24

We back slid a little bit last week.

>> Bridget: 0:28

It's just up and down, up and down.

>> Wendy: 0:30

Yep. But I'm feeling good today. Did some yard work. So I'm feeling that we cut down some trees and that really needed to be cut down.

>> Bridget: 0:38

I heard a new song on the radio on the way over.

>> Wendy: 0:41

Yeah.

>> Bridget: 0:42

And it's called, like, Folding.

>> Wendy: 0:44

Okay.

>> Bridget: 0:45

And the premise was like. I was like, this is clever. Come back and get your clothes that I'm folding for you right now and meet me at the front door. And like, the weather's changing and I'm sure you feel cold already because you know she's not there. I thought, that's cute. I thought when I heard the title it was going to be about poker.

>> Wendy: 1:08

Yeah. Know when to hold up.

>> Bridget: 1:10

Yeah. No, you're a s***** hand. I'm throwing you back into the pile. There was another song and there was one little lyric that I think you'll appreciate. Lit up like a drunk cigarette. You feel that?

>> Wendy: 1:28

I do.

>> Bridget: 1:29

I was younger then, but. Yeah. You pick it up and you like the filter end.

>> Wendy: 1:35

Oh, God, that's the worst.

>> Bridget: 1:37

Terrible.

>> Wendy: 1:38

The worst. I've been really into doing my nails lately. They look terrible right now. Don't.

>> Bridget: 1:42

Of doing your nails.

>> Wendy: 1:43

Yeah, they've all fallen off.

>> Bridget: 1:45

Is one at a time. I see how you're.

>> Wendy: 1:48

I only have time to do one a day, so I know. You know, they were like cigarette boxes on the nails and s***** beer cans. So there's like a Marlboro and like a pbr and I was like, I want those nails.

>> Bridget: 2:01

I need those nails.

>> Wendy: 2:02

Yeah. I couldn't find them. Like, there's a press on the ones that I use. Yes.

>> Bridget: 2:06

Are they long nails, though?

>> Wendy: 2:08

They don't have to be.

>> Bridget: 2:09

I just want maybe the nail stickers.

>> Wendy: 2:11

Yeah, those are fun.

>> Bridget: 2:12

And then definitely go out.

>> Wendy: 2:15

Yeah. I can't do too much of a long nail either. And. And with some of them you can cut them back too.

>> Bridget: 2:20

Yeah. I just can't have nails. They just bug me.

>> Wendy: 2:24

Yeah. You know, I get it. I love having mine done. But they get in the way of everything. Especially, like, know, trying to play guitar, ukulele. You can't really have nails.

>> Bridget: 2:33

Right. Solly has to do open tuning.

>> Wendy: 2:37

Maybe I should learn that.

>> Bridget: 2:38

Basically. Yeah. Basically just barring.

>> Wendy: 2:41

Oh, yeah. Everything Barring.

>> Bridget: 2:42

Yeah.

>> Wendy: 2:42

I can bar on the ukulele. I probably could get away with it almost everything. But the guitar is harder for me. I have trouble.

>> Bridget: 2:48

Well, it's harder. It's wider and you have. The strings are harder.

>> Wendy: 2:52

Yeah. I don't. I don't have the strength.

>> Bridget: 2:55

The strength. Neither did my grandpa. He so wanted to play the guitar.

>> Wendy: 2:59

Yeah.

>> Bridget: 3:00

No. He had the softest hands.

>> Wendy: 3:02

Really?

>> Bridget: 3:02

Yes. Oh, my gosh.

>> Wendy: 3:05

Well, anyway, our movie this week, Demolition Man, 1993. I had to rent it on Amazon Prime. It's not free anywhere, but it was like a $4 rental on Amazon Prime. Made in 1993, set in several different years. It starts out in 1996. When he's.

>> Bridget: 3:24

When they freeze them.

>> Wendy: 3:25

When they freeze him. Yeah. Which is at the time, just a few years after this movie is made. And it's very reminiscent of the riots, the LA riots that happened in 1992. So it's all very heavily based on that. Although I did look it up because I was wondering if this was a book. It's not. But it was loosely based or heavily influenced by Brave New World.

>> Bridget: 3:46

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Aldous Huxley.

>> Wendy: 3:48

Yeah. So it references it a lot, has similar themes, but it's not actually a book. Especially with all the ways that they talk futuristically.

>> Bridget: 3:57

If you haven't read Brave New World, do it.

>> Wendy: 4:00

Yeah.

>> Bridget: 4:00

Oh, God, it's such a good book.

>> Wendy: 4:02

I mean, it sounds like right up my alley.

>> Bridget: 4:04

Yeah.

>> Wendy: 4:05

So have you seen this movie before?

>> Bridget: 4:06

No.

>> Wendy: 4:07

Oh, gosh, it was. It's one of my favorites, but I haven't probably seen it in 20 years.

>> Bridget: 4:11

We've talked about it so many times because of the seashells.

>> Wendy: 4:15

And that was kind of all I

>> Bridget: 4:17

really remembered from it and all that Joel really remembered.

>> Wendy: 4:22

I don't think Joel had seen it.

>> Bridget: 4:24

Oh, really?

>> Wendy: 4:25

Yeah.

>> Bridget: 4:25

I think he hollered from the other room, three shells.

>> Wendy: 4:28

Oh, Maybe he's in on the joke. For sure. But he said he didn't remember seeing it. Watching this movie today versus back in 1990s when it was made is a whole different experience because primarily, a lot of this stuff is real now. So the. When they. Well, maybe I should back up. General premise is that Sylvester Stallone, which he is John Spartan and Wesley Snipes is Phoenix baby. Sandra Bullock.

>> Bridget: 5:00

Oh, God, I loved her so much in this.

>> Wendy: 5:03

Yeah. Detective Huxley, which I guess is also a nod to Brave New World.

>> Bridget: 5:08

Yes. Because that's his last name. Author L. Jewess.

>> Wendy: 5:11

Yeah.

>> Bridget: 5:12

Huxley. What a great writer name.

>> Wendy: 5:15

It is. What if it's real?

>> Bridget: 5:18

Yeah. Probably, yeah. Okay, so they freeze these prisoners.

>> Wendy: 5:23

Yeah. Because there's an incident where Wesley Snipes, who is a criminal, takes a bunch of hostages. We never really find out why he's a criminal, which, again, is always bothers me. But he's just like a psychopath.

>> Bridget: 5:34

Right.

>> Wendy: 5:35

And then Sylvester Stallone, Spartan, he goes off script, I guess is what you would call it alone. And ends up enticing Wesley to burn everything down. And apparently this is a pattern that Spartan has because they call him the Demolition Man. Everything falls around him. But he gets sentenced to 70 years for assisting this murder that he really didn't do anything for, which I think was harsh.

>> Bridget: 5:59

Well, it's funny because they called it cryo rehabilitation.

>> Wendy: 6:05

Yes.

>> Bridget: 6:06

So they're doing like the whole Matrix thing on them.

>> Wendy: 6:10

Yeah. They're feeding them information while they're frozen.

>> Bridget: 6:13

Right.

>> Wendy: 6:13

Yeah.

>> Bridget: 6:13

That is dumb.

>> Wendy: 6:15

So they come out of the pod knowing things they didn't know they knew.

>> Bridget: 6:18

Like I can play the accordion.

>> Wendy: 6:21

Yeah. And Spartan, he can knit.

>> Bridget: 6:25

Funny. I love it. He can knit. Why? And then he's like, d*** it. Fabrics is what he's got. Is his secret weapon. Yeah. It was so funny.

>> Wendy: 6:37

And they said it was based on data and running their talents and what suits you best. So it's like a personality test that they ran on him, and somehow it spit out that he would be a good knitter, which he knits a sweater in, like, an evening.

>> Bridget: 6:49

So I think it's probably safe. He needs to chill out.

>> Wendy: 6:53

Oh, absolutely. He's very high strung. His b******* is watertight.

>> Bridget: 6:57

Everyone should take up knitting.

>> Wendy: 6:59

Yeah.

>> Bridget: 7:00

You know? Yeah. And men love knitting. Surprisingly.

>> Wendy: 7:03

Yeah.

>> Bridget: 7:04

Anyway, so the thing is, when they wake up, it's almost like Pleasantville. And the cops, at one point they were like, we're police officers. We don't know how to handle that.

>> Wendy: 7:15

Yeah. We don't understand this level of violence.

>> Bridget: 7:18

Right.

>> Wendy: 7:18

Yeah.

>> Bridget: 7:19

There's no violence. No.

>> Wendy: 7:21

And it's become heavily controlled. Anything that's bad for you is now illegal.

>> Bridget: 7:25

Right. I have some quotes where she said, okay, smoking's not good for you. Anything not good for you is bad. Hence illegal. Alcohol, caffeine, contact sports, meat. And when John Spartan says, are you s******* me? He gets a verbal morality citation for swearing.

>> Wendy: 7:47

Yeah. There's a little machine that kind of looks like the ticket thing at the meat gallery. Right. And it spits out a ticket for you.

>> Bridget: 7:54

So bad. Language, chocolate, gasoline, uneducational toys, and anything spicy. Abortion's also illegal, but then again, so is pregnancy. If you don't have a license. That was in a nutshell. I loved that.

>> Wendy: 8:11

Yes. Later they even say salt isn't allowed, which is crazy. It's crazy cuz salt isn't necessary, but so is. Well, I wouldn't say meat is necessary, but I wouldn't say meat is bad for you.

>> Bridget: 8:23

That world is supposed to be almost like a utopia. Would you even be happy there?

>> Wendy: 8:27

Well, no. I mean, it seems like a lot of them are. A lot of people could be happy because they would be safe and comfortable and. But right away we already see that this utopia doesn't exist because there's a whole level of people living underground that just don't want to be controlled like that or are unable to fit into society in the way that they've made it because they've made so many things illegal.

>> Bridget: 8:49

Look at our political climate right now.

>> Wendy: 8:52

I know there's a lot of parallels in this movie, which is why it's so crazy. I mean, we're almost to the date that this is. He gets unfrozen in 2032. So we're five years away from that right now.

>> Bridget: 9:03

It's ridiculous.

>> Wendy: 9:04

Yeah.

>> Bridget: 9:05

I don't think it would swing this way where people were nice. I don't know who's prepared to be nice right now in the world.

>> Wendy: 9:15

No, it doesn't feel that way.

>> Bridget: 9:16

No.

>> Wendy: 9:17

But they're coming at a lot of these same liberties in a weird way. And it almost always goes back to like, we need to protect the children. They're just using the children as a front to get these laws passed to control people. They don't want to have free speech, so they start banning books and what you can show things. And even recently the social media, I don't know if you've heard about this, but Facebook got sued because they've made their products addicting.

>> Bridget: 9:42

Correct.

>> Wendy: 9:42

And on the surface you're like, that sounds like a good thing. Like maybe they shouldn't be so addicting if they know that they're using those tactics. But it's going to be a door opening to start censoring people because the people that are behind this lawsuit are like one of those like family first conservative groups. Sure. It's much more complicated than that. And that's not what this movie is about. But it brings up all of those themes that we're experiencing now. You see a lot of the parallels and trying to control things with the premise of it's going to make us better. And does it? No, no. Yeah. You're always trading one evil for the other. I Guess. And it is like a utopia in the way that the leader is almost become like this religious figure instead of a political leader.

>> Bridget: 10:26

Well, even the language reminded me of Handmaid's Tale.

>> Wendy: 10:30

Yeah.

>> Bridget: 10:30

Because they didn't have five or six different greetings and goodbyes.

>> Wendy: 10:34

Just be well.

>> Bridget: 10:35

Yeah. And at one point she says, give him a be well.

>> Wendy: 10:39

Right? Like you say. Like, tell them hi. For me. Now it's be well, hi.

>> Bridget: 10:42

I formally convey my presence. Just so weird.

>> Wendy: 10:48

And what did they keep telling him?

>> Bridget: 10:49

You need to resonate some understanding.

>> Wendy: 10:52

Oh, no, there's a lot of these. But I'm thinking about advance your calm

>> Bridget: 10:57

or something like advance your calm.

>> Wendy: 10:59

Instead of calm down, it's advance your calm.

>> Bridget: 11:01

That's great. Yeah, that is a good one. There were so many of those.

>> Wendy: 11:05

So many. And I loved all of Huxley's wrong phrases because she has watched all these old cop movies.

>> Bridget: 11:39

Take this job and shovel it.

>> Wendy: 11:42

Close enough. At one point she's like, yeah, go lick his a**.

>> Bridget: 11:48

Woo Woo. Coffee break. Let's talk about our beans.

>> Wendy: 11:53

Are you enjoying flicking beans? Don't keep it to yourself. Spill the beans. Movies are better shared and so is coffee. Can you drop our pod into a friend's inbox? A group chat. Or just tell that cashier at your coffee shop that you love our podcast. A little worth of mouth goes a long way. Let's spill the beans. Thank you, Bean flickers.

>> Bridget: 12:17

Love you.

>> Wendy: 12:17

Bye.

>> Bridget: 12:23

Wait, wait, wait, wait. No, Here it is. He's finally matched his meat. You really licked his a**.

>> Wendy: 12:29

Yeah,

>> Bridget: 12:32

but she's so precious and she plays it so straight.

>> Wendy: 12:35

She does. She's very innocent in a lot of ways.

>> Bridget: 12:39

They had to have just cracked up filming so many times. Like we said before, Sandra Bullock is famously, like, wonderful to work with.

>> Wendy: 12:50

And this was right before Speed, which we recently watched. And she does a high speed chase in this. She's the driver. And I was like, hey, audition.

>> Bridget: 12:59

Yes.

>> Wendy: 13:00

Audition for Speed.

>> Bridget: 13:01

Heck, yeah. They probably did look a little at that. Yeah, but she had to, like, kiss Sylvester Stallone.

>> Wendy: 13:07

Their chemistry is good. But again, like, there's so many of these movies where the guy is so much older. Like, couldn't they have got someone a little bit more age appropriate for. I mean, she's great in the movie, but yeah, he's like 30 years older than her, so it's kind of cross.

>> Bridget: 13:20

Right. And the way that they have sex in the future. Yeah. Oh, God. What is it? No, exchange fluids. Fluid exchange.

>> Wendy: 13:30

Yes. And then in the end, when he kisses her for real, she goes, oh, Are all fluid exchanges this much fun? Oh, and he's like, even better.

>> Bridget: 13:40

Even better.

>> Wendy: 13:43

Yeah. The sex scene is weird. And I also have a hard time believing that you could keep people from. Because it's free and it's fun.

>> Bridget: 13:50

I don't know like how. Yeah, I don't know how you would phase that out.

>> Wendy: 13:56

Yeah. They made it illegal, but, well, the people. So it's like sodomy in a lot

>> Bridget: 14:00

of places are doing it.

>> Wendy: 14:02

Yeah. Yeah. And then tunnels. They're definitely doing it.

>> Bridget: 14:05

The riff raff.

>> Wendy: 14:06

Yeah. But I think that maybe Sandra Bullock doesn't because she's pretty straight laced. But I think making sex illegal would be impossible. They've tried.

>> Bridget: 14:15

I think putting helmets on to like, what Virtual sex would be impossible.

>> Wendy: 14:23

Reminded me too of have you seen the movie Conehead?

>> Bridget: 14:25

Oh, yeah. Of course.

>> Wendy: 14:26

The way that they have sex is kind of similar. They put the ring on their head and then they just touch hands and it's like all mental.

>> Bridget: 14:33

Chris Farley.

>> Wendy: 14:36

Maybe we should do that movie. I love that movie too.

>> Bridget: 14:37

I love that. One year for Halloween, my mom. Mom made my dad in her cone head costumes and she made them out of plaster. They were so heavy.

>> Wendy: 14:50

Oh, I bet.

>> Bridget: 14:51

Oh, my God. And breakable, fragile. I'm sure now you could get wig cap and a cone head off Amazon.

>> Wendy: 14:59

I'm sure I would have 3D print one.

>> Bridget: 15:02

Oh, yeah, you could do that's night. Yeah.

>> Wendy: 15:07

Speaking of technology, that was one of the things that was funny to me that so much of the stuff that they predicted really was very close to how it is now. There's the self driving cars. All the police officers have these little handheld devices that are very similar to a smartphone. And the way that they're talking to them, I'm like, oh, my gosh, it's AI. It's Chachi Beauty.

>> Bridget: 15:24

Oh, God.

>> Wendy: 15:25

It's pumping them up like, hello, how you're great, you're an amazing whatever. And I was like, they predicted that.

>> Bridget: 15:30

Talked about that.

>> Wendy: 15:31

Yeah.

>> Bridget: 15:32

Last episode. How it just tells you what you

>> Wendy: 15:35

want to know, exactly what you want to hear. Early on when. When Phoenix gets thawed out and he's running around, there's a guy standing at this computer that's like a public computer and he's sort of having like a therapy session.

>> Bridget: 15:47

Oh, right.

>> Wendy: 15:48

That's what a lot of people are using ChatGPT for now. It's almost just like talking to your friend.

>> Bridget: 15:52

He goes, I just don't feel all that special.

>> Wendy: 15:55

Yeah.

>> Bridget: 15:56

And he said something about, no, you bring joy. Joy to Those around you.

>> Wendy: 16:00

Yeah. Joy, joy, joy, joy. Yeah. Some of the language they use is funny. When somebody kills someone, it's a murder, death, kill. Not just a murder.

>> Bridget: 16:09

Yeah. 11 murder, death kills so far. They never have those. Yeah, no one dies.

>> Wendy: 16:16

It sounds more innocent maybe. I think when that happens, they said that they hadn't had one in like 15 years or something, but I bet there was. They were just sweeping it or it was in the tunnels.

>> Bridget: 16:27

In the tunnels where bad things happen, where you have more fun.

>> Wendy: 16:31

Yeah. So there is a underground group of people and Dennis Leary is kind of their leader or is the one that we speak to the most. He's a vigilante, I guess, with the spray paint that automatically gets cleaned up right before anyone can see it.

>> Bridget: 16:49

Geez, it's great.

>> Wendy: 16:51

It is great. Did you notice, by the way, a Jack Black sighting?

>> Bridget: 16:55

No.

>> Wendy: 16:55

So towards the end, when the three cops go down into the tunnels, they run into Dennis Leary and they're having like a back and forth and he has a few people standing next to him and one of them is Jack Black. And I looked it up and yes, he is in this movie. I went through my notes, I'm like, is that f****** Jack. Jack Black sighting. So baby Jack Black as well. He's. He's so tiny.

>> Bridget: 17:15

He's such a good hugger too. Yeah, he's like exactly my height.

>> Wendy: 17:20

Yeah, he's tiny. And he looks so tiny next to all the other people in the tunnel. Especially because they've got, you know, the dystopian outfits on that you must wear in the future if you're a thug, which is animal fur for some reason. Well, probably rat because that's what the burger was.

>> Bridget: 17:36

He liked it though. Or did he? Was he just being polite?

>> Wendy: 17:41

I think if you haven't had meat in 30 years, or how 40 years, however many years he was frozen rat probably tastes pretty good.

>> Bridget: 17:50

Probably rat burger. How many rats does it take to make a burger?

>> Wendy: 17:56

I had that same thought, cuz I don't. I don't think there's enough meat on one rat to make a burger. But maybe.

>> Bridget: 18:01

I don't know. I've never seen one of those big ones in the city.

>> Wendy: 18:06

Yeah. In captivity I've seen some rats that could make a burger.

>> Bridget: 18:09

I remember my sister in New York City, she's like, I hope I see a rat.

>> Wendy: 18:15

I'm sure she did.

>> Bridget: 18:16

She did.

>> Wendy: 18:16

She did it. No, you didn't see him in the subway?

>> Bridget: 18:19

No.

>> Wendy: 18:19

Like, did you look down on the tracks?

>> Bridget: 18:21

We didn't. I was afraid to get too close to the edge. I'm like, it would be me.

>> Wendy: 18:31

Yeah. That is scary when you're not used to it. And just the fact that you could just jump in front of it at any point. And if you're like me, you have those thoughts were like, what if I just jumped? What if I just turned my car into this lane?

>> Bridget: 18:43

Like, there should be a gate there.

>> Wendy: 18:45

It does, but it would slow it down.

>> Bridget: 18:47

That's true. It's crazy fast.

>> Wendy: 18:50

I suppose there could be something like that. If you think about amusement park rides, for example, they have gates and it just pulls up line by line. But that would be harder on the driver. Maybe. I don't know. They don't care.

>> Bridget: 19:01

No.

>> Wendy: 19:02

Only a few people a year jump in front of it.

>> Bridget: 19:05

Goodness. Oh, that would be hard to witness.

>> Wendy: 19:09

Have you ever heard the song Graffiti on a Train?

>> Bridget: 19:11

No.

>> Wendy: 19:12

Okay.

>> Bridget: 19:12

Is it about blood splatter?

>> Wendy: 19:14

It's about a guy that tries to propose to his girlfriend by spray painting the train, but he falls. And so she gets up and she's going to work and she sees it. She doesn't know where her boyfriend is. And then she realizes, makes the connection when she sees the graffiti, that. Yeah, it's really sad. And I don't know why this song was written.

>> Bridget: 19:33

That is awful. It would make a good book, but sure. God. As a song.

>> Wendy: 19:39

Yeah.

>> Bridget: 19:40

It would send me pulling off the road.

>> Wendy: 19:42

It's a good song too.

>> Bridget: 19:45

Drive through my tears.

>> Wendy: 19:48

Oh, my God.

>> Bridget: 19:49

Well, you were mentioning toward the end of the movie and toward the end of the movie, it was when I started pausing to see how much more was left.

>> Wendy: 19:58

Yeah. It gets a little long.

>> Bridget: 20:00

Yeah. And I get tired so early. Like my preferred

bedtime is 8: 20:06

00pm I get that. Well, I. I bought a chair. Okay. Off of Marketplace, and it's a fluffy egg chair. Whoa. It's amazing. It kind of looms over my living room, but the cats love it.

>> Wendy: 20:23

Yeah.

>> Bridget: 20:23

And it's just like all my other fluffy blankets.

So I coordinated with this guy at 4: 20:26

30. He said, I'm leaving Ames. I'm gonna pick it up and bring it to you. I said I'd pay him $10 extra to deliver. Was 10p before he got there?

>> Wendy: 20:43

Yeah.

>> Bridget: 20:43

And I had messaged him a couple of times and it's just like. So I had my friends sitting there with me because I'm like, can you just stay until I'm done with this guy?

>> Wendy: 20:53

Yeah. This guy's showing up really late. Yeah.

>> Bridget: 20:56

Yeah. He delivered the chair at 10. He was a creeper.

>> Wendy: 21:00

Yeah.

>> Bridget: 21:01

Anyway, and he'd sprayed the whole thing with Febreze. So gross. So I sprayed it all with vinegar.

>> Wendy: 21:07

Yeah.

>> Bridget: 21:08

Yeah. I can't wait till you see it.

>> Wendy: 21:10

Okay.

>> Bridget: 21:10

Okay.

>> Wendy: 21:11

I'm excited.

>> Bridget: 21:12

It's crazy cute.

>> Wendy: 21:13

Yeah. Does it make you want to fall asleep because it's cozy?

>> Bridget: 21:17

Kind of.

>> Wendy: 21:17

Yeah.

>> Bridget: 21:18

It makes you want to, like, read a book because you can tuck your legs right inside and everything.

>> Wendy: 21:22

Yeah.

>> Bridget: 21:23

And you're kind of cocooned and fluff.

>> Wendy: 21:25

Oh, I like that. I love a cocoon.

>> Bridget: 21:28

Yeah. But, yeah, now I can have people over and they can sit in a chair and not just. You know, when you only have a couch.

>> Wendy: 21:36

Yeah.

>> Bridget: 21:37

It's kind of weird. Anyway.

>> Wendy: 21:39

Anyway. Sidebar. But I wanted to talk about what music is like.

>> Bridget: 21:43

Yeah.

>> Wendy: 21:44

That's another thing that is kind of happening now, too. Just not to this extreme. But they only listen to jingles. He's like, in your day, I think they called them commercials. So when they go out to Taco Bell, by the way,

>> Bridget: 22:00

all restaurants are Taco Bell now.

>> Wendy: 22:03

Yes. They were the only ones that survived the. The fast food wars or something like that. And yeah. So they go to Taco Bell. Fancy Taco Bell. And someone is playing piano in the corner and he's singing the Green Giant. And I love it. And I'm like, this is something I want to do naturally.

>> Bridget: 22:22

Those are meant to be earworms and never get out of your head. Exactly how they could survive.

>> Wendy: 22:28

For sure.

>> Bridget: 22:29

Yeah. Because you've ever sat down. I know you have. If somebody says, play your guitar and sing this or sing that. By the middle of the chorus, they're already ignoring you.

>> Wendy: 22:40

Yeah. That's why I don't do it anymore. Anymore.

>> Bridget: 22:42

Yeah.

>> Wendy: 22:43

My family used to be bad about this. Like, you should bring your ukulele and play. And I'm like, but. And then I do, and nobody's paying attention, and I'm just singing over the corner. It's stupid.

>> Bridget: 22:51

Yeah.

>> Wendy: 22:51

And then I can't talk to you because I'm singing.

>> Bridget: 22:54

That's why I prefer the piano. You just have your back to them and you don't really give a.

>> Wendy: 23:00

Okay, well, less portable.

>> Bridget: 23:03

Yes, that is true.

>> Wendy: 23:05

I thought that was a fun little touch. And goes. Throughout the movie. They have little different ones and you can recognize them because some of them are real. I think most of them are. I just recognize all of them.

>> Bridget: 23:15

Ho, ho, ho, Green Giant.

>> Wendy: 23:18

We haven't talked about the infamous three seashells yet. Yeah, let's talk about the three seashells.

>> Bridget: 23:25

Yeah.

>> Wendy: 23:26

So this is pretty early on. After a Spartan gets thawed, he goes to the bathroom, which I'm sure he must need to do. There's no toilet paper. And they start laughing because they're like, you don't know how to use the three seashells. The three seashells are just three silver seashells. They look exactly the same. I want to know how you do use them, but. But nobody knows. So instead of trying to figure that out, though, he comes out and he just starts cursing directly into the ticket machine so that he can have paper.

>> Bridget: 23:55

Right.

>> Wendy: 23:55

And he says, I'll be back in a few minutes.

>> Bridget: 23:58

Yeah. And Huxley explains, oh, back then they

>> Wendy: 24:01

used wads of paper, which is honestly, very barbaric.

>> Bridget: 24:06

Yes.

>> Wendy: 24:06

And more bidets. I'm on the bidet train now. I don't want any toilet. Not to have one. Good.

>> Bridget: 24:13

Well, I think I know how to use the three seashells.

>> Wendy: 24:18

Okay. How do you do it?

>> Bridget: 24:19

Okay, so the first two, you create a pincer. Okay. And you pluck the offending log from your b***. And then the third one, you scrape to clean yourself.

>> Wendy: 24:33

This sounds terrible.

>> Bridget: 24:34

It does sound terrible. And then how do you wash them?

>> Wendy: 24:37

Right. They're all using the same three seashells. That's the grossest part.

>> Bridget: 24:41

Yeah.

>> Wendy: 24:41

It's not. Not like there's a bunch of them.

>> Bridget: 24:44

Right.

>> Wendy: 24:44

There's three. That's it.

>> Bridget: 24:47

But they're silver, so that's nice.

>> Wendy: 24:49

Yeah. I thought maybe they might squirt water or something, and they just look like a seashell now.

>> Bridget: 24:54

You wish. But squirt water is a good one, though.

>> Wendy: 24:59

Yeah.

>> Bridget: 25:00

There should be those just, like, a handheld.

>> Wendy: 25:04

They exist.

>> Bridget: 25:05

Yeah.

>> Wendy: 25:05

Yeah.

>> Bridget: 25:06

Maybe I need one of those.

>> Wendy: 25:07

I bought one for a camper.

>> Bridget: 25:08

Let me handle the day.

>> Wendy: 25:10

I bought one for our camper.

>> Bridget: 25:12

Oh, yeah.

>> Wendy: 25:12

Perfect Is a way I think we can fashion the toilet to have a bidet in it.

>> Bridget: 25:17

And I think everyone should have a bidet.

>> Wendy: 25:20

It's true.

>> Bridget: 25:20

But now that I have a second job, I could probably afford toilet paper in bulk.

>> Wendy: 25:25

Yeah.

>> Bridget: 25:26

Now.

>> Wendy: 25:27

Yeah.

>> Bridget: 25:28

Goodness. Anyway.

>> Wendy: 25:30

Yeah.

>> Bridget: 25:30

Did we do it?

>> Wendy: 25:31

I think we did it.

>> Bridget: 25:32

We flick some beads.

>> Wendy: 25:35

Okay. Love you.

>> Bridget: 25:36

Bye. Bye. Party all night long. Don't.
