(00:20):
My name is Ron Ryan, andI don't remember what happened. Oh my
ship blew up last week. That'swhy we didn't do a podcast or no,
that was two weeks ago. Myship blew up. Yeah, you
were bound bouncing through some the webcammicrophone and it sounded wild as dogs,
and then took last week off andnow here we are again, ready to

(00:41):
go episode ninety. Dude, I'mfired up, fired up today. You
know what I was dealing with myfucking truck being stolen. I wanted to
ask you about that, and I'msure you've told this story. Why don't
you give me the elevator pitch ofthe stolen truck. I want to hear
how that happened. Well, canI just get it out of the way.
And I didn't say this on theradio, so this is a Playpants

(01:04):
pod exclusive. What I failed toshare with the radio audience is I fucking
left my keys in my truck.That seems like a pretty major heart of
the story to leave. Oh,so go ahead, I mean, say
what you gotta say, call meto dip shits all of it. No,

(01:27):
I mean I can't. It's dumb. I'm an idiot for doing that,
an absolute idiot. Now back uphere. Anytime that I've left my
tundra unlocked, some fuck face goesthrough it in the middle of the night,
but looking for a gun. Theyyou know, they don't break anything.
They go in, they look inthe center console, they open up

(01:49):
the glove box, they might pullout my little you know, user manual
or whatever, and then they don'tput anything back. But that's how I
find it. In the morning.I'm like, shit, I left my
truck open. It's amazing the thingsthat they've left in there. I mean,
nothing really of value, but Ifeel like there's been a few things
in there that they might have justkind of grabbed, and they're specifically looking

(02:13):
for I guess cash. So I'midiot to leave their keys in there or
a weapon or something. So computknow that this happens. I don't know
that they go through my truck.They I don't know if somebody walks by
and checks the handle every night.I'm assuming that now moving forward, I
have a key fob on the newTundra and so there's no key inside,
and I guess I'm getting used tothat. I'm not making excuses. I'm

(02:36):
just saying, this is my situationnow, groceries in the truck. Keys,
fuck, throw it in the cupholder. Yep, unload the groceries.
Kid calls boom. Now I'm chitchatting on the phone, blah blah
blah. I just don't go backout to the truck. And then that's

(02:57):
it. The truck is now openwith the key's sitting in the cup holder.
So I could have left a notesaying, hey, come get it.
I could have left the door openand maybe throw a knee on used
car for sale brand new but youknow, barely used. Put some candies
in there, something, you know, anything, really thanks sexy it up.
Appreciate you helping. So I getup in the morning and I'm like,

(03:21):
oh, man, one of mybuddies just playing a trick on me
or something. And then it justhit and I remember my dad saying that
when he's got when he's got hiscar stole, and he felt like he
was an old man. He couldn'tremember where he parked it. And he's
like, no, no, no, I know I parked here. Asked
the security guard to fly him aroundthe you know, the tops parking lot
back home or something, and thenhe just realized he had a like his
stomach. He said, I justfelt sick. He goes my car was

(03:44):
gone. So his car gots gone. That's how I felt in the morning.
So I get in the jeep andI go to work. All I
know is I got to work,you know, like, okay, I'll
do it this later. I getto work, sign in, get everything,
and then I google what do youdo when your car gets in?
As I'm getting ready for the show? I google that. It says report

(04:05):
it right away. You got abetter chance of getting your car back.
Sure. So Alex walks in.I tell him what happened. I said,
I think I gotta go home,dude. I think I have to
work on this today. My firstthought was going to work, dude,
always after my truck was stolen.I mean, you gotta do the show
right, like it's the most importantthing in the world. I mean,

(04:27):
no one is going to be ableto start their day without the rod Ryan
show. Right, No, no, no, no, no no.
I don't know why I think theway that I do. So I go
home and I start working on it. Cops come. They're hearing Alex and
Tessa talk about it on the radio. It's not processing that Rodney Ryan has

(04:48):
reported a stolen vehicle. It's amazingto me. I had that happen to
me at a store this weekend,and just Rodney Ryan is not processing with
people. They walk in, shesees microphone. She's like, here,
rod Ryan, we were just listeningto them talk about you. She's like,
we listened every morning. I'm like, okay. So then I got

(05:09):
to tell them the whole story.I show him that I've got video,
I've got cameras all over the place, not that it really does any good,
but it helps them a little bit, right, So, I mean
there's a lot of there's a lotto it. I'll just say that within
seven hours, HPD got my truckback. It was awesome. I realized

(05:31):
that I had the Toyota app andthat we could kind of track it a
little bit. Oh cool. Sowhen they assigned me an officer that took
over my case because I had abunch of people helping me. Guy just
texted me. He's like, man, you don't know me, but brother,
your name's on everybody's radio. We'reall talking about you. He's like,

(05:53):
I got access to all the cameras. We saw that your truck was
pinged over here. It's being pingedaround town. These ship heads are driving
it around and they're just scoring drugsand hookers and whatever it is they're doing.
Wait, so I get it back. Around two o'clock, I get
the cop calls me. It's like, we got your truck. You gotta
come and get it. So Itold this story to somebody here and he

(06:18):
said, did they you know,did they cleaned it up for you or
anything. I'm like, no,HPD's not gonna detail your car. Okay,
they got it back for you,thank you. That's it. Three
sixteen year olds and a twenty twoyear old. They got him at a
They got him at a gas station, and I pick up my truck.

(06:44):
I go home. That's it.Well, I go in my truck.
I opened the door. It smellslike holy hell in there. Jason Guinty.
It smells like your feet now comeon, or crotch weed sweaty balls
and corn chips. So it didn'tworst. It was the worst. It's

(07:11):
a brand new fucking truck. Itstunk so bad, dude, that's funny.
And then I said, hey,guys, none of this stuff is
mine. Three backpacks, four phones, all stolen, probably yes, all
of it, laptops, it waslike six or seven portable chargers, pens.

(07:33):
There was a saw on the back. Dude. It was disgusting.
Get all that shit out. Igotta drive and it stinks in there,
and I gotta go pick up mykid. And on my fancy radio on
the screen, see Breezy's iPhone.My truck wants to know. You want
to hook back up to see Breezy'siPhone, So sez see Breezy hooked up

(07:59):
his iPhone. Now, let's saythis was really really serious. Don't you
think you would want to not hookup your iPhone to something electric because they
can trace it. There's gotta besome sort of memory. There's gotta be
something that you could tie into thecomputer system to figure out what phones have
been attached. It gives you somethingto look in the database. It blows

(08:22):
my mind that there's not more criminalscaught in this day and age, because
they're dumb. Most criminals are alwayshistorically have been dumb. Okay, most
criminals are dumb. Nowadays they're reallyreally dumb. These guys were obviously dumb.
You think that they'd just be catchingcriminals, like, Okay, Hughes
is a big city. Okay,what is it like? Six million?
Seven What do you got in there? Eight million people? I don't know,

(08:45):
six million, six million, saysix million. That's a lot.
That was one of probably what fivehundred of that day they got stolen.
I mean, there's gotta be statisticson this ship. Yeah, I mean
it's lucky. I know, Iknow that I got special treatment. You
know. The guy even said islike, okay, rod Ryan truck,
we gotta get this back to him. You know. You know this dipshit's

(09:07):
gonna be talking about it on theradio. Well that helps you gotta get
this guy's truck back, you know. So um, the final thing I'll
say about it is I get mytruck back. I gotta go pick London
up, and I gotta go farto go get her. So we're driving
home. We're in the h We'rein the hrov lane because I got a

(09:31):
kid in the car. I'm like, all right, two people, well,
and I'm kind of going along witheverybody caught behind me. Whoo whoo
whoo. Now I'm not speeding,and I'm like, what's going on?
Now? It's not it's not clickingin yet. It's not it is not
clicked in yet. I'm not speeding. All right, I'll pull over.

(09:52):
Maybe my registration. It's a brandnew truck. I got plates on it,
real plates, not paper plates anymore. When I pulled over, he
pulled over, and three other copcars fanned out behind him. Now I
have four cars, all of theirlights on, and I said, oh
shit, they think this truck isstolen. Yeah, they didn't take it
off the record pinged it got pingedup in conro. London, stay in

(10:20):
the car now, I don't haveto do. I got my hands up
like this, turn off the car. I turn off the car, hands
out, Oh no, I firstroll down the window. Turn off the
car. Put your hands out thewindow. And I'm just getting directions.
Now I'm scared. I'm telling London, stay in the car. They're like,
get out of the car. SoI get out of the car.

(10:43):
And now I'm looking at him withmy hands up. I have four guns
drawn on me. Their doors areopen, they're standing behind their doors.
I have four pissed off police officerswith their guns drawn on me. Dude,
that's scary as shit. They're like, turn around. So I turned

(11:03):
my back to them and I'm walkingand I'm like, it's not stolen.
This is my truck. I mean, dude, anything can happen. Yeah.
Yeah, I'm walking backwards and they'restopping traffic. There's one there's just
one row of traffic now going through. They have guns drawn on me,
and I'm walking back and I hearthe guy, Oh that's Rod Ryan.

(11:24):
I'm like, oh my god,jeez, I was dying, dude.
They put their guns down. Wow. Man. But obviously it didn't come
off the old ping or whatever wasgoing on. HPD did not put it
push it through yet. Yeah,so it was still reading in other counties
that it was a stolen truck.So it pinged when I was about an

(11:45):
hour, I don't know, aboutan hour away from here doing their job
doing a job. So I gota pretty high level law enforcement here in
the neighborhood. He's like, didyou tell them there was a kid in
the car, and I said,no, he goes. Dude, that
should have been the first thing yousaid. If London goes out the other

(12:07):
door, she's in a London's ina booster seat now, so she can
kind of undo her thing before withthe with the huge ten point clicker.
She can't get out, he said. If she would have went out that
door, he said that that wouldhave that could have been bad. You
know, yeah, you're not thinkingof all that all at once. You
got guns at you, and thereshould happen. I just told I mean,

(12:28):
I should have said, listen,my daughter's in the car, guys,
be cool. But I told her, I'm like, do not.
She got out of her seat,went into the driver's seat. She was
scared, right, shit, Yeahshe was scared. Daddy was scared.
You know she could I guess shecould tell her. I was scared.
I was trying to be cool.I'm like London, to stay in your
car. They think we're bad guys. We're not. You know, we're
not the bad guys. So yeah, what a I mean, what a

(12:52):
capperd of that story? Okay,So as you're telling the story, right
and I'm sitting here and I'm thinking, thank god, you're fucking white because
you know how that goes, dude. And I'm not gonna make this a
thing, but I'm telling you,as you're saying, I'm like, god,
dude, if you were a blackdude, can you imagine. And

(13:15):
that's not just I want to godown the road on that, but I'm
just thinking the whole time, I'mlike, this is what these poor dudes
are up against. I no,I lit a candle here, but like,
wow, dude, like that,hard fucking core guns are drawn at
your face. Yeah, four ofthem, and the seriousness, the stone,

(13:37):
the stone look of their faces behindthe door, behind the doors of
their cruisers, fanned out, fourof them, and they're just like like
their information, Um, yeah itwas. It was wild. And then

(13:58):
they're like, well, let's goover here. Let's go over here and
clean you know. The guy's like, hey man, Rod, We're sorry.
You know, here's what happened.This is on the side of the
road. He goes, we gottago over here and clean this up.
So we pull into like fucking homedepot and uh. And I you know,
I'm not mad because it's not theirfault and they're doing their job right,

(14:18):
you know. They they're definitely likegetting their the Conro police who pulled
me up, they're getting their digswell HPD, Like, you know,
they're letting me know that HPD shouldhave had this done already. And I
just said, I go make itright with my kid. You know,
I go, you gotta make thisright with my kid. That's a good
call. So they're being totally cool, high five and everything's cool. I

(14:39):
mean, you know, I don'tknow when the last time you just got
rolled up on an officer. Butthere's four of them there. There's so
much shit hanging off their bat belts. There's everywhere, there's there's stuff.
There's just shit everywhere, you know. Wild. Yeah, So they're being

(15:00):
so cool with my kid and everything, and you know it's all cleared up.
And then again, okay, yougo, just like I picked up
my truck, I don't. Ijust thought there'd be more, but like,
okay, well you know, sorry, now they didn't the files.
Some paperwork guy texted me, it'sweird how the cops have your number.

(15:20):
They have your number. It's like, hey, officer, blah blah blah,

they stole the truck early, anddaddy got the truck back. Like she's
explaining this, and I'm like,wow, those cops really really did a
good job. But like this fiveyear old is explaining it in a way
that it really happened. They thoughtwe were the bad guys, but we're

(16:52):
not the bad guys. The badguys were already caught. And she's he's
laughing, and I'm like, that'sthat's exactly what just happened. I go,
she really that was like the beststory she's ever told. But you

did a bad thing. They stolemy truck. Yeah, but it's my
fault, and that just I'm aguy that will beat himself up on that

(18:22):

(19:03):
out and I had parked in frontof my house, right where I was
living at the time. And walkout and I'm like, same thing like
you said. I go, huh, maybe I parked out back. So
I go around and I had aback alley that you could park in behind
my house. So I walk backthere and I'm like huh. So I'm
walking around, I literally walking aroundmy house inside, scratching my head,

(19:25):
going did I get drunk last nightand take a cab home? Did I
I start retracing stabs? And I'mlike what happened? So I'm looking around.
I'm like, I call a fewpeople. I'm like, hey,

and somehow they got it into gearand we're pushing it down the street.

there. So I got into mykey, started right up, backed it
up with it my driveway. I'mlike all right, Somene of the cops
came out and you know, theylooked at it. I followed the report,
but that that feeling of walk aroundgoing I am pretty sure I parked
my car off front last night?What the fuck is that all about?
Right, it's a sick feeling.It's the worst. And then what's one

(20:52):
of the things you always think aboutwhen that happens, because I you know,
I've had car stereos ripped out ofmy car before, and you're like,
if I would just once catch thatmotherfucker in the act, I'd kill
him, Right, that's what youalways think about, you Like, I

thinking. So years ago, Ihad that that big, giant Plymouth,

one, big blue, it's lightblue, big blue, yeah,
old blue, and four door monsterof a car, like a city block,
long, loud, just the wholething, right, And I drove

hanging out, come back and we'rewalking through the parking ramp, walking up
the ramp to go jump in mycar and then come home. Right,

Why will they go off? Andthey come back on again. I'm
like a mind musself, like ashort or something, or I don't know.
It's an old car. As shithappens, right, and then it's

(22:19):
like I can see it moving alittle bit like rocking, like somebody's in
it. From a fucking around.My wife goes, I think someone's in
your car. I go stay here, I'll stand right here. I said.
This is back in the early daysof flip phones. I said,

(22:40):
to my car and they're all Isee is my doors open on my car,
and there's a dude with you knowhow will like you be under your
dash trying to fix some wires onyour radio or something. Back in the
day, there's a dude under likeunder you know, he's laying in the

all this other bullshit, and thenthey figured out who I was. You

(26:45):
know, Oh, your kid's gonnaREADO. I listened all the time and
it was like same thing, butit was so fucking scary. But in
that second I had a decision tomake, dude, and I made the
wrong decision. Just so your kidsknow, I made the wrong fucking decision.
Yeah, no, it be bad. When was this oh fuck,
like ninety fuck, I don't know, two thousand and something, I don't

(27:11):
know. Okay, wasn't married yet, so it was pretty two thousand and
four. Okay, so yeah,you gotta assume now everyone has a gun,
right, even then, I shouldhave assumed it, but I just
it was the heat of that momentof like, holy fuck, how many
times have you wanted to catch somebodyin the act and beat the shit out
of him? Right? I hadthe opportunity, and I took the wrong

(27:33):
thing. I totally did the wrongthing. I mean, that was a
dumb fucking move on my part.And by the way, I can't hit
I can't hit anybody. I gotno punch. Slap him? Did you
slap him? No? No?It was very I felt bad and all
this ship and I'm that kid.Yeah, yeah, so you know,
don't don't keep your keys in thecar. I guess yeah. Fuck it

(27:57):
was shitty. But dude, everyonelistening right now is like, oh,
yeah, I've done that before.I do it all the time, because
like with the when you don't haveto put your key in the in the
you know, the ignition anymore,it's just fucking there. There's times,
like my wife's car, if Igot a bunch of shit in my pockets,
she's got a key ring like ajanitor, so I can't put it
in my pockets, so I throwit in the console. There's times when

(28:18):
I get out, I go toclosed door, I'm like, whoa,
whoa, did you get the keys? I do it all the time.
I mean, it's a horrible lessonlearned. And it's the first time that
I left them in there overnight,but I constantly was using that, and
even a couple of times afterwards Iput it in. I'm like, no,
you dumb ass, just put itin. You know, scale down,

(28:40):
let's look at how many keys Ireally need and then boom, no
extra bullshit, just the fob,the house key, and that's it.
Boom. So that was the otherthing, and that was the one thing
that I did say on the air, I'm like, man, bad guy's
got my house key. So everybody'skind of going, whoa, how do
they have that? You know?And I didn't get into it on the
air because I just I didn't feellike taking and taking those ship calls.

(29:03):
Right. So I've got like asuper fancy It's not even one of those
keys that says do not duplicate becauseyou got a guy, they'll duplicate those.
I got a super fancy locks here, super fancy key. I knew
these dipshits couldn't go get one made. I mean they could not get it
made, right. So when Igot to the car, I'm like,

(29:25):
is my house key there? Igo. That was clutch because re keying
this house it's five grand, dude, five grand every single lock, every
door. Yeah, yeah, it'sa lot. You're like, well,
just a front and door in aside door, you know, front and
back door. I'm like, itdoesn't work like that. Not here.
There's a lot that needs to bere keyed. So I got my house

(29:48):
key back. But that was theone thing that got everybody asking a lot
of quite, well, how don'tworry about it? Don't worry about it
and I got it back. Stopasking questions. I can see Breezy and
out there making key copies. Dude, fucking see Breezy. Dude, he's
rolling for a joy. And whenI got my car almost stolen that one
time, I talked to the copsafterwards, and they're like, look,

(30:08):
most of these guys just want tofind a car for joy ride. They'll
run this thing around for a dayor two and they'll just dump it off
in the weeds somewhere, light iton fire, and that's it. They
don't give a shit. Or dumpingon of a bridge or something. So
maybe this is I don't know.I don't think it's karma. But our

(30:30):
friend Mike Davignon, we are neitherone of us have our driver's license,
so we're like seventeen. Both ofus are dipshits. Neither one of us
have our license, yet our parentswon't let us get it. We bought
a car for twenty five dollars.I bet you did. It was dude.

(30:53):
It was a cool car too.It was a Javelin, an AMC
Javelin. Didn't buy them for twentyfive bucks. Twenty five dollars. There's
like three years in that car.Yeah, it's like super rare and amc
javelin. Yep, we bought onefor twenty five bucks. Are our girlfriends

(31:15):
were friends, so you know howquaint you know, like Mike's my best
buddy and we're dating best friends andthey're camping. Um outside of where Jason
and I grew up. There's anarea called Darien Lake and you can camp
there, and there was like anamusement park and it's become six Flags and
stuff. So the parents of hisgirlfriend and my girlfriend is with her and

(31:41):
her family. There's no cell phones, there's no nothing new. Okay,
Now, her parents they know thatthese girls are dating douchebags, you know,
losers. Me and Mike. Wecome driving up to their campsite and
find them. They know we don'thave our licenses and they know we don't

(32:06):
have a car. Yet we comerolling up in a car and we just
hung out for the day, droveback home and then went to Niagara Falls
and left the car downtown somewhere.Wow, dude, now that story I've

(32:27):
never told on the radio. Iprobably wouldn't do that one. I probably
wouldn't mention that one. So youbought it from a guy who obviously stole
it, and then you guys justleft it somewhere with the keys in,
And I would assume, because whywere you good at that? What?
Why would he sell seventeen year oldsa car? Sixteen year olds? I
think it's I'm sixteen, yeah,sixteen? Yeah, sound smart? Yeah,

(32:52):
we bought a car for twenty fivebucks. Let me look it up.
You said that Javelin's really it's notan AMC Pacer. No, no
pacers. And they had Gremlins andthe Javelin literally they made them for like
three years. That's a pretty fuckingrare car. And if you can find
one nowadays, man, shit,that's worth some bread. Yeah, okay,

(33:12):
not the Gremlin, not the Pacer. And then what did I say?
It was Javelin? Yeah, thePacer is the Wayne's World car.
Dude. We bought a Javelin.You should be worth a lot of bread
right now, dude, and droveit to Darien Lake to go say hi
to our girlfriends and then uh,and then just came back and then we

(33:36):
just left it somewhere and that wasit. Dumb kids, like the dumb
kids that stole my truck sixteen yearsold. I'm the same age, and
it had they had like, youknow, a way to plug in your
phone back then, if they hadphones breezy, so are Breezy. So
I'm thinking, you know, mytundra doesn't really go anywhere, my tundra

(33:57):
because I really don't live that excitinglife. I really don't, um.
I mean, I don't think there'sanybody that thinks I do. But I
just don't really do anything. AndI think my truck had the fucking night
of his life. So every timeI get in, you know, it
would come up. It's like,Yo, Breeze, is that you were
going for? Are we going tohit the streets? Like no, it's

(34:17):
just me, it's not se Breezy. I feel like every time I go
in there, my truck is hopingthat see Breezy is back, you know,
back hooking up. It's a funyonSee Breezy the fucking wildest night of
that tunder's life. Yo Breezy.When we hit in the streets again,
best night of my life. It'slike, fuck, old man, River
doesn't go anywhere. See Breezy comeback kid night Rider. Oh it's fucking

(34:44):
Michael Knight. Jesus, where's thecool guys. I go here seven minutes
to work back weekends, go pickup my kid, come back. That's
it. You see, Breezy fuckinghad the tundra, had the greatest night
of all. Oh there's probably peckertracks all over those seats. I mean
just gotta be like, just ohyeah, see Breezy had some fun.

(35:06):
Man. So I gotta get mykid at a certain time. I go
right from the bad guys to anhour and a half drive to go get
my kid, smelling like fucking horsecrotch, driving with the windows down.
I mean, I don't. Idon't even have time to go get Fabrieze.
Okay, I gotta get my kid, dude, like like the stinks.

(35:28):
Not even time to go one ofthose pine tree fucking air fla things.
No no, no, no,no, no, no no no,
without getting into it. I gottabe there at a certain time.
It's just that's just what dad's gottado. So get her car smells like
a horse ass and then four gunsdrawn on me. It's just not getting
better, bro, It's just it'sjust when does this nightmare going to be

(35:52):
over? This is why you shouldbe journaling. Remember we talked about this
many episodes ago about you journaling.This is why you journal because this would
be a great way to get thisout and then done done. You gotta
journal. Well, what the fuckdo you call what we're doing right now
pretty much journaling. We're the onlyones listening half the time. I mean,
I'm sure, I don't you know, what's funny? I don't even
listen to us, So why wouldI speaking of that? Rod? Not

(36:14):
to change subjects, but I'm abouttoo. We're gonna talk about the top
summer blockbuster movies of all time.We're gonna run down our top favorites,
which means movies released in the summerseason since the release of Jaws in nineteen
seventy five. That was the firstsummer blockbuster movie. So we're gonna kind
of go through our favorite summer blockbustermovies. Because Indiana Jones is coming out.
You got a Mission Impossible coming out. It's it's a summer season where

(36:36):
it's like, yeah, let's goto the movies. Man. I do
want to give a shout out tosome people from Houston. Had a bunch
of people over the last couple ofweeks listening to the podcast took the Pirate
tour, So that was pretty cool. We're really kind of weird, Like
you're standing there and they're like,oh, hey, what's up man?
We listen to the podcast and hereI am dressed, you know, I'll

(36:58):
pired it up and shit and readyto do a tour, and they're like,
they want to talk about the podcast. I'm like, man, I'm
kind of gonna do this tour thing, man, But it's afterwards. I
try to talk for a couple minutesand stuff, and it's like to hear
what people do and while they're listeningto the podcast is kind of funny,
Like there's a dude who took thetour of this pass. I can't remember
his name. Shit, I suck, sorry dude, but he like fixes

(37:20):
cranes. He drives all over Texasjust fixing cranes and that's his gig,
right. He's like, Yeah,I listen to you guys all the time.
And then this other ladies listens quitea bit too. It she travels
a lot. A lot of peopletraveling a lot listen to the podcast.
So appreciate that. I really appreciateyou taking the Pirate Tour anytime you come
to New Orleans. And then wegot was it two episodes ago? I

(37:44):
can't remember. We were talking aboutone of our lists of songs and I
can't remember what the hell wanted.Oh the blood songs. We ran down
blood and vampire and songs a coupleof weeks, a couple episodes ago,
and so I just wanted to goand uh, yeah, it was we

(38:05):
episode eighty nine. It was ourlast episode, Top five blood songs is
what we got into. Okay.And you brought up on the podcast a
Blue October song, right, andwe were talking about Blue October and how
you love him, and I said, I really like the band as well.
And then you gave me a songto listen to and I can't remember
what the name of the song was, bleed out, lead Out. Okay,

(38:27):
So I said, oh on theepisode, I said, oh,
yeah, you know, I don'tI'm not familiar with that one. I'll
have to go listen to it.Okay. Great. So then we got
a comment from Rob on our playpantspod facebook page. He said, hey,
rod Ryan, solid list, sirfor your blood songs, But that
jag All friend of yours. Reallyyou know, you know it's gonna go

(38:51):
downhill pretty quick when someone calls youa jag Off friend, and I'm like,
I've been called that plenty of times. I'm good with it, he
says, But that jag Off friendand spell at jag I love that,
he goes, But that jag Offfriend of yours really said he loved Blue
October. And also he's never heardbleed out boo this man. So I'm
like, well, I gotta respondto that because I want to. I

(39:13):
want to, you know, I'mnot trying to be a dick. I
just hey, man, let merespond. So I did. On our
Playpants pod page, I said,hey, Rob, you can be a
fan of a band without knowing everysong. That's the beauty of music.
There's always room for our discovery.And then I signed it jag Off friend
because I figured, like, like, if you make a comment on the
Playpants pop one of our social mediapages, our o a YouTube channel,

(39:37):
you sign it Rod if I makea comment, I said, they know
who they're talking to, right Who'scomments? So I just said jagof friends.
So then Rob replies, and Ithought my response that was it.
That's why we do this podcast.I've discovered a ship tone of music in
the last couple of years doing thispodcast and I end movies and I love
that. So then Rob replies tomy response, he says, hey,
dear jag Off, oh my midI seem to have struck a nerve.

(40:00):
Feel free to hate me. Ithink that's a reference to the Blue October
song and I know that one.He was just and and oh my my
is so he's you know, he'slike, he's he's been funny. It's
like they sneak in all the songtitles in the weather. Now. I
love it. I thought it wasgreat. He says, feel free to
hate me. I was just listeningto the podcast here at home, but

(40:20):
maybe I should go take a walkinto the ocean. Moving on, I'll
try to keep dropping tens like youkeep up the awesome work, captain.
So he's funny, obviously, helistens a lot and stuff and he's doing
it and he's and he's giving youa bunch of Blue October song titles right
right, right, right right,So it's pretty funny. And I said,
hey man, no, all goodman. One of the reasons I
do the podcast to talk about music, and I'm in and I'm one of

(40:44):
the reasons I do the podcast isto talk about music. I'm into and
in return, I've been turned ontoa bunch of songs I've never heard before
and that's awesome. Thanks for listening. Good luck with the tens. So
I just thought it was funny,Uh, the back and forth that we
have sometimes on this and again,Man, if you call me a jagover,
I don't care, it's all good. It's it's just about discovering.
That's what this is about for me. Yeah, there was a lot of

(41:07):
love for Blue October on our YouTubepage and then Immortal Warrior at Immortal Warrior.
Speaking of the blood list, aquick tie. I can't get through
all of these, but a quicktop five. Blood in the Cut from
KFlay. Now, I'm a Kaflayfan, but it's good, Like like
the jag off over here. Idon't know that song, so I'll go

(41:27):
listen. Lincoln Park bleed it outgreat one Blood and Roses Smith Reens.
We definitely had mentioned that but didn'tmake any of our top fives. If
you want Blood ac DC fuck Yeah, and Raining blood Slayer. They're using
a CDC if you want Blood forthe promo to sell season two of The

(41:49):
Bear? Are you watching The Bear? The Bear? Is that the restaurant.
Yes, chef thing, yes chefno chef. Yes, you'll be
calling everybody chef afterwards. I wantto because I've missed somehow this has gone
right past me, and I justsaw some ads recently. It's not it's
not Succession. You know where Successionreally was? Like it? Okay,

(42:15):
I'll take that back. I wasgonna go into Game of Thrones area,
but it wasn't. It really wasn't. But Succession did kind of take over
the internet though a little bit right. And I think that if you weren't
watching Succession at some point, otherthan me blathering on about it, you
must have heard, like you knowwhat, and maybe you heard about it
the Bears not really taking over theinternet. It's on Hulu. But you

(42:37):
worked in a restaurant. I workedin a restaurant for a long long time.
And it just resonates. And seasontwo started and they're using if you
want Blood for the promo and it'sgood. They're half hour episodes. It's
only two seasons. Season two justcame out. Season one is eight episodes,
Season two is ten. You canget in and out of these things
easy, and like I said,it's on Hulu. The Bear Okay,

(43:00):
I don't have to check that out. Yeah, because I think the one
the kid in there was the oneof the dudes from the old show Shameless.
I believe, yes, that kid'san awesome kid. That dude's an
awesome actor. Man, he isunbelievable. So I'll check that out.
Dude, you want to take aquick break and then we'll come back and
do our top five Summer blockbuster moviesrun. Yeah, after I tell you

(43:22):
that if I would have hung ontothat fucking car, A nineteen seventy AMC
javelin here for seventy six thousand dollarson eBay motors. Here's the seventy three
for sixty six thousand, right,here's the seventy two, A steal at
forty two thousand and five hundred.Should have kept it, man, should

(43:45):
it was orange? One that wehad was orange? Here is no,
it's something else. There's only acouple of them on here. So that
does lead me to believe that it'spretty rare. Yeah, I don't think
the AMC Javin was. It wasonly a few years, man, And
it's a cool as looking car too. It's it's a fucking badass car.
It was orange had a black stripeon it, and then it had a

(44:06):
black stripe across the front of it. I mean twenty five bucks Bros.
Steel model years sixty eight through seventyfour. Okay, I was close and
let that many years though. Thatwas pretty close. Yeah. Fuck,
that's awesome, dude. You shouldhave kept that. You'd think they'd be
worth so much money right now.Of course you'd get in jail. But
what are you gonna do? Mykid is My kid is forbidden from ever

(44:27):
listening to this podcast. Well,there'll be a time down the road when

(45:10):

awesome thing, Rod the buzz dotcom, get that shirt, get that
couzy summertimes coming. Gotta have themcouzies by the pool when you're hanging out
by the lake or whatever. Sothe buzz dot Com thank you, Jason,

(45:32):
wonderful job on that. Um So, I sent you a couple of
top fives and you told those onesnext, what Dockins. Okay, let's
top five Dockin songs. My firstmy first answer that was, I'm literally
sitting at my desk at work.I'm going, what, oh, Fuck's

(45:53):
sake, I'm not doing Dockins songs. Fuck's sake. I thought, you
know, Don Dokins turning ninety orsomething like that. You don't even like
the guy. I don't like him, but I do like Docin, but
you're like, okay, no.And then John Cusack's having a birthday,
and I think we've kind of spilledthe t on this. What we're about
to do is our top five.That concept is ripped off from a movie

(46:17):
that Jason and I have probably watchedtogether a million times back in the day.
The movie is called a High Fidelityand in that movie. Within that
movie, John Cusack and his friendsthey discuss music and every it's John Qusack's
best movie. Probably for me,it's his best movie. And they do

(46:38):
a lot of top five lists onthe spot, you know, things that
are going on in their lives.And as a matter of fact, the
whole movie is kind of based abouthim finding his top five former loves and
the girlfriends and why they got awayand he goes and seeks them out and
stuff. So the whole movie iscond based around this top five thing,
and that's where we got the conceptfor doing our top fives. But I

(47:02):
was trying to think, you know, John q SC movies, I think
we might have already done it.Though I think we might have. We
probably could have checked that list thatJordan made for us, Jordan Welch and
the Machine. Yeah, but wehaven't don't. We don't really check that.
I like the Summer Blockbuster Summer blockbustermovies, and I think when you

(47:22):
first sent it to me, I'mlike, man, we're gonna have the
same five movies, but you you'rein You're in a little bit more of
that superhero space. And when itcomes to some of these other movies,
you know, there's a three yearage difference between us. But boy,
it comes into play early on whenwe start talking. I noticed, like

(47:44):
there's a huge discrepancy early on whenit comes to you, Like there was
just things you're like, nah,I was a little too young, and
then maybe I went to that whenI was a little too young. So
there's some of that. So Ithink that could play. I think that
could play. So the criteria herewas the top summer blockbuster movie. So
what that means is a movie releasedin the summer season. It doesn't have

(48:05):
to be a movie about summer.It's just it was released in the summer
season. Because after the release ofJaws in nineteen seventy five, the movie
industry realized, hey, wait,this summer blockbuster because Jaws was released and
it was massive that year in seventyfive, so they kind of went,
wait a minute, so we putout So they started putting out the big
superhero movies. They started putting outthe Indiana Jones Is and all that summertime

(48:28):
blockbuster movie thing. That's where it'sall kind of came from. And for
a couple of years didn't Will Smithkind of like own Fourth of July weekend,
Independence Day and I think Men inBlack even Fourth of July weekend,
it's kind of your big like,holy shit, we're going And then he
put out like that wild Wild Westmovie were kind of bombed. But it
seemed like I remember, for anumber of years, Will Smith was the

(48:52):
guy like he was the Fourth ofJuly guy, right, and everybody got
out of his way for that.It was weird that he was. I
mean, you know, Will Smith'ssuper a lister, you know right well,
you know it was, but thatsort of fell apart on him with
a hit on Chris Rock. Sothe top five summer blockbuster movies, I
suggest that we do this. SoI'll go first, Rod, I'll dive

(49:14):
in here because I think I'm gonnathrow a guest out there. I think
we'll have one one. Did youbecause I did this, and I'm not
saying that you have to. Obviouslythese lists are loose as a goose shit
not the matter. I had tosee it in the theater for me for

(49:37):
it to make my list. Someof this stuff I saw on HBO.
I grew up watching it, andthere's the association with it for me personally.
And I'm not telling you to moveanything around, no, but what
I held myself to is I hadto go to the theater the summer.
It came out fair enough, fairenough, I think that's what I did.

(50:00):
I don't know. I don't knowwhat's on your list. I think
I did for most of these.There might be one that I didn't,
but yeah, I think I thinkpretty close to all of them I did.
Yeah. Top five summer blockbuster movies. Number five Jurassic Park from nineteen
ninety three. Dude, Dinosaurs thefirst one. Remember when that came out

(50:23):
and you saw the previews, You'relike, holy shit, those dinosaurs look
real as fuck. And I justninety three, couldn't wait to go see
that movie. I'm popping trucker speedand I'm doing freaking term papers. Yeah,
I'm trying to get done with college. I'm too busy. I am

(50:44):
not caught up in dinosaurs. DoI think Jurassic Park is cool? Yeah?
I do, But I just didn'thave time for it in my life
when it came out. That's whyit didn't make my list? Is it
cool? Did I see it multipletimes? I did think I ended up
seeing it in the theater. Yeah, for some reason, I didn't have
time for that movie when it cameout. Yeah, for so much years.

(51:05):
For some reason, I did.And I just remember like sitting in
it and there's that famous scene wherelike the t Rex is like stomping or
walking, and like they show thewater and it's in the car and it's
you can see the rings in it, and you could feel it in the
theater. Like they invented a newsound system for that movie, if I
remember correctly, I believe they did. I know Lucas did. I'm almost

(51:27):
one hundred percent positive that if youwent to a studio, if you went
to a certain state theater, heinvented a new version of Dolby THHX blah
blah blah. There was something differentfor Jurassic Park. That's what got me
to go see it because I wantedto hear what it sounded like. But
I just remember that you could feelit like it was so like heavy and
you're like, holy shit, whatis happening right now? Yeah, it

(51:51):
really made it a cool experience.So that was number five Raiders. I'm
sorry, Jurassic Park. I justgave away number four Raiders of the Lost
Arc nineteen eighty one. I don'tknow if I saw that in the theater.
I want to think I did,but maybe not the first one.
Yeah, that was eighty one,so I would have been like ten.
So maybe I didn't. But I'veseen it a trillion times since, So

(52:14):
you can't know. Are you excitedabout this new one that's coming out this
weekend? I'm indifferent because I wasexcited about the last one that came out,
you know, a few years ago, because it had been the first
one in a long gap, andI was like super excited when where they
dealt with aliens, and I'm like, fucking Harrison Ford, it's Indie man,
It's gonna be great. And thenI was like kind of bummed out

(52:35):
at about the whole alien thing.At the end, I'm like, Dary
jumps in a fucking old refrigerator andthere's some explosion and then yeah, yeah,
nuclear. I actually didn't mind thatpart. I thought it was kind
of fun, but yeah, itjust it just didn't feel right in this
one. I hope. I thinka lot of times they they're playing to
the audience too much. They're gonnado all the gags to make you go,
oh, yeah, I remember that, you know what I mean.
It's like, nah, just madea good fucking movie. I hope it's

(52:58):
good. I'll go see it atthe theater because it is indie. But
if they look at what top Gundid, Top Gun, I think was
perfect. That they did just enoughcallback stuff in it where they didn't make
it completely cheese. They d overthe head with a callback. Bullshit.
Yeah, Goose's son's got to sitdown and he's got to fucking play the
piano like his old man did.There's there's stuff like that that. There
was a little bit of cheese,but it was like, I don't know,

(53:21):
for some reason, I felt likethey had just the right amount of
cheese where it was like it wasallowable. And You're right, they may
need to go they may go tothe well too often on this and that's
what I'm afraid of. But I'llgo see it because it is as fucking
Raiders of Lost Arc. Dude,that's those movies. Super awesome. Anyway.
That was number four, nineteen eightyone, Raiders of the Lost Arc,

(53:42):
Number three nineteen eighty five Back tothe Future. I'm pretty sure I
saw that in the theaters because thatwas like all anybody talked about that summer
was fucking back to the Future.That was everywhere. It was everywhere,
and for some reason, I didn'tlose was my shit over it, like
everybody. I was just it wascool. I liked it, and I

(54:06):
just I remember as the phenomenon washappening, I felt like everybody liked it
more than me. Really, Yes, it was good. It's now looking
back, it's a great movie.It's phenomenal, awesome movie. Man,
holy shit, is it great.But yeah, I kind of feel like
everybody loved it more than me.Yeah. It really kind of kicked skateboarding
into gear because of the whole chasescene with a skateboard, you know and

(54:28):
stuff when he's being chased by Biff. That really got people like excited about
skateboards. You know, you're you'reMiddle America excited about skateboards back in nineteen
eighty five. Number two. Iknow for a fact I saw this in
the theater's Ghostbusters nineteen eighty four.I remember it. I saw in the
theater because for some weird reason,it was my dad and my brother and

(54:52):
me, and we went to thelocal theater. This is back when he
had like a small town theater andthey're playing Ghostbusters. And again, I
was never a first weekend guy.We were always way way late in the
cycle. Oh yeah, yeah,yeah, we would see my whole list.
Do you think I fucking went openingweekend to any of these? My
parents let me opening weekend of onemovie. No. No, like like

(55:13):
kids who were wearing the Ghostbusters Tshirt. Those were all yellowed and worn
out by the time I saw themovie in theater. But it was cool,
man, because like you were like, because you heard everybody talk about
it in school for weeks and weeksand then you finally went and saw you
like, holy fuck, that's awesome, dude. But yeah, my dad
took me and my brother to seethat one back in nineteen eighty four,
and Ghostbusters just was like, youknow, you look at the effects now

(55:36):
you're like, that's terrible, Butat the time it was so great and
funny. Yeah, it was great. And Bill Murray was like at the
top of his game right then,and I had already loved Bill Murray and
I kind of felt like, Okay, Bill Murray was becoming like everybody's favorite
guy, you know, like Iloved meat Balls and I loved Stripes,

(55:58):
and I'm like, Bill Murray's myfavorite guy. And then Ghostbusters came along,
and I said, Okay, he'stoo big now, Like he's not
making he's making just blockbuster movies now, right. But he was so great
in that in that movie and stillhad all those little subtle things, like
if you watch it now, yousee all his comedy genius just oozing out
of the film. You're like,oh shit, there's some shit in here

(56:19):
as funny as hell. Ghostbusters nineteeneighty four, that was number two and
number one. I mean, Ithink I could be wrong here, but
I'm almost positive. I think myparents took us to the drive in to
see Et in nineteen eighty two,sitting out there popcorn, candy, the
fucking hot dogs, probably a doublefeature, and seeing ET and being outside

(56:40):
as a little kid in eighty two, and you know, you're you know,
you're in your car, so youlook out and it's fucking dark and
stars at the driving and you're watchingthis alien movie. You're like, that
little fucker could be coming out ofthe back woods right now. You know.
Yeah, such a cool experience tosee it that way, you know,
and you didn't see him forever.You know. It was that whole

(57:01):
same thing with you know, Jaws. You don't see the you don't see
the damn fish for the first hourof the movie almost you know, you
see a in here or there,you see chick flopping around in the water
or something like that. Yeah,yeah, but Et definitely, and I
had Jaws in there. But Iget a bunch of other movies. But
that was a hard one to pickjust five because there's so many great movies.
So I predict we have one ofthose movies on our list together.

(57:27):
I say one, I'm probably numberfive. Oh really, Et, Okay,
there you go. My brother wasmore into it. So it's eighty
two. I'm twelve and my brotheris nine nine. I feel like was
the sweet spot, Like my brotherlost his shit. The movies out in

(57:51):
the summer of eighty two. ByOctober, my dumb brother is wearing that
ET smock and that plastic ET maskthat stinks and the rubber band goes around
your head the worst. So byOctober that ship's out. Yeah, that
was the thing about the summer blockbusterthey would get that stuff, the toys

(58:13):
would be ready to go for thatChristmas. Yeah. So you had the
McDonald's happy Meal all summer. Yeah, the little shitty toys. Then you
got your Halloween costumes, and thenthey had the Christmas. Yeah. It
was genius, man. How theyput the ship together. Yeah that year,
I can tell you. The yearwas nineteen eighty two and my brother
went as stinky plastic mask Et.He lost this ship because he got et

(58:37):
for Christmas. He had the littledoll. He took it everywhere with them,
So I'd put it on there becauseit was a big deal in our
household. Sure, you know.I also kind of looked at it like
not what I liked. I kindof I looked at it because Number one,
I always view summertime is like beingjust an amazing time when you're a
kid, just that's when all thecool stuff you're not in school. And

(59:00):
then when a movie overtook that summerthat, you know, it wasn't I
thought it was really great. Ithought it was really great. I just
remember my brother absolutely just losing hisshit over ET. That's my number five,
my number four, Rocky two.Oh, I didn't have any Rockys
on my list. Rocky two nowRocky one. I don't know when that

(59:22):
came out, but I know thatI had seen seventy seven, seventy six
Rocky, Rocky two is seventy nine, Rocky one is seventy six. Yeah,
yeah, Best Picture seventy six.It came out in seventy six.
I did not go to the theatersto see that, So that's already on
TV somehow. And I'm and Ilove the character, and I love Rocky,

(59:45):
and my mom loved it. Sheloves Semester stallone, and she went
to the theater. I did notgo see Rocky in the theater. I'm
almost positive that that's already on televisionat some point. The anticipation of Rocky
two and then seeing him fucking shreddedand then three and just getting more and

(01:00:06):
more shredded for each one. Butthe difference in he was so lean in
two because he was a little bulky, you know, in Rocky one,
but he was supposed to be thatway because he was a street fighter.
Yeah he's doughey, Yeah, yeah, he was a little doey. But
Rocky two, Fuck, man,you cannot tell me that that movie is.

(01:00:27):
I will argue till the end thatthat movie is just as good as
Rocky One. Yeah, it's justas good. And that's the one that
he you know, spoiler alert fromnineteen seventy nine, he wins Yo,
Adrian, we did it? Areyou fucking kidding me? Yeah? Who
oh? The ending if you're notfucking tearing up at that pace is just

(01:00:51):
annihilated. And Adrian, we didit? Did it? Yeah? All
right? Did it? Yeah?Yes? He didn't get to the Rocky
like I saw Rocky one. Isaw Rocky two, but I didn't get
on the Rocky train until the Russianone. Was that three or four the
Russian? Because three is mister tthat's right, and then four is the
Russian. Yeah that's where you know, spoiler alert, that's where Creed dies

(01:01:15):
and the whole fucking thing. Yeah, yeah, four was fucking great.
And then I went back and Iactually watched Rocky one like a year ago,
and I remember being younger and watchedit going, this is fucking boring
except for the fight stuff, butI didn't get all the relationship and how
cool of a duty was. Andhe's dumb but yet he's smart and the

(01:01:36):
nuance. It's a love story.And I didn't catch all that the first
time I watched it when I wasyounger. Man, I watched it recently,
I'm like, oh shit, thisis a good fucking movie. Fun
fact, Sylvester still alone, stillhas cuff and Link. He still has
the turtles Jesus from nineteen seventy six, those baby turtles that he bought at

(01:01:59):
Adrian's pet store. He has cuffand link to this day. He still
has them. And they're you know, they're I'm the frisbee size, you
know. And this is just totallyoff subject, but you probably saw this.
But he had a house out inLa somewhere and he sold it to
Adele, right, and apparently outsideby his pool, he had a huge

(01:02:22):
statue of him, like the onein Philadelphia, right they put up in
the movie. And and she said, I'm keeping that, right that,
And he's like, no, Iwant the statue back. That's coming with
me. She's like, go fuckyourself, I'm not buying the house.
Unlet's like keep the Rocky statue.He said, all right, I guess
you keep it, Like Waltsom,just another reason to love Adele. Yeah,

(01:02:45):
of course she's awesome. So numberfour Rocky seeing that in the theater.
Amazing. And you know, again, my mom is into it.
So that's kind of all of us. Well, that's my mom and the
three kids. My dad was working, I'm sure, but that's us in
the theater watching Rocky and just fuckinglosing my mind. Probably three or four

(01:03:10):
weeks after it had come out,sure, and we were going when we
went during the day because it wascheaper. Number three, the newest movie
on my list, nineteen eighty seven, Lost Boys. Dude, I went
to the theater. Now that's mysenior year, and that's the first time

(01:03:34):
that the vampires that are being depictedare our age, right, and they're
cool, and it's rock and rolland everything. There's no Twilight, there's
no nothing with all of these coolvampires. Without the Lost Boys. Everything
before that was fucking Bella Legosi,right, I mean, yeah, I
don't cheesy, but there was nocool vampires. It was Lost Boys.

(01:03:58):
Keeper saw the Land with the molly. Maybe he claims that he invented the
mullet. He claims that's the firstone on the big screen. Um,
yours was second, then I guessI was number two. Yeah in nineteen
eighty seven. Yeah, I kindof Yeah, you know what him,
I had that haircut in I hadhaircut in ninth grade. He didn't invent
the fucking bullet. It comes outJuly thirty first, dude, I go

(01:04:25):
to the theater very shortly after thatmovie comes out. Yeah. Yeah,
you know. Getting back to yourpoint about you were the age of you
know key for in the movie,right, or basically the same age of
all those guys run around. That'swhere we kind of got lucky in a
lot of different ways as kids.Is like, you know you're talking about
your brother ET. Well, thosekids in the movie ET were all that
age. They were your age.They were your brother's age in that movie.

(01:04:47):
Drew Barrymore. Yeah, and thenDrew Barrymore was like, she's the
little girl in it, you knowwhat I mean, Like she's out there,
she's our age. But we,you know, we I don't know,
maybe this happens more often than itdoesn't, but it seems like every
time I see a movie with theyalways seem to be my age, you
know, the Goonies, I'm like, ah, those kids are my age.
Awesome, you know what I mean. You always can relate so well
to the movie, Like, yeah, I know, these kids, you

(01:05:09):
know. Yeah, I don't knowif that's just a weird phenomenomer recency,
you know, but it always seemedlike, hey, those kids are my
age, no shit, Yeah,and it seemed like they looked so cool
and you wanted to look like them. They looked like a band, you
know. I mean, it's justand the music. I'm trying to think
of another movie that I really like. That's one of the earliest movies that

(01:05:31):
I connected. I mean, obviously, dude, when I the Tiger came
out and that sort of thing foryou know, Rocky three, it was
great, But the whole movie andthe sound the soundtrack, like I bought
the vinyl. I went out andbought Lost Boys. I went out and
bought the vinyl because the songs wereso great in it, you know,
they had that great in excess.Jimmy Barnes cover Gonna have a Good Time

(01:05:56):
Tonight and it's played twice in themovie too, so Lost Boys in it
number three. In at number two. The year is nineteen seventy seven.
My mother takes the three kids againto the movie theater the Summit Park mall.
Yeah. She goes up to thefront desk and the woman says,

(01:06:17):
it's four dollars a person. Mymom says, what four dollars a person?
My mom had never ever spent anythinglike that before in her life on
a movie. And then you know, she's definitely the old timer talking about
paying, you know, twenty fivecents to go watch fucking Flash Gordon at
the Riviera. So four dollars.I don't think my mom has enough for

(01:06:42):
all of us. So little RandyRyan, little Rodney Ryan, and Susie
Ryan four dollars a kid, here'stwelve bucks, not a nickel for a
fucking popcorn, not any nothing.My mom goes go, I'll come and
pick you up. Star Wars,Yes, Star they charged more for Star

(01:07:02):
Wars. That movie cost more thanany other movie. It was just one
of those It was one of thosethings that they talked about on the news,
like, not only is Star Warsthis big phenomenon, but can you
believe they're charging four dollars Like themattenee was four bucks? Right right.
I don't know if my mom didn'thave any more money. I've talked about

(01:07:26):
it with her, and she says, I might not have had money.
I tend to believe that she hada couple more dollars, but she just
thought that was the dumbest thing shehad ever heard, and that's not her
thing. She was definitely taking usbecause the kids wanted to go see it.
But yeah, it was four bucks. You know. It's funny about
the Star Wars thing is that itcouldn't have been early on because when they
released it, it only got releasedin a couple of theaters, and they

(01:07:49):
didn't think it was gonna work.Even George Lucas has said, I didn't.
By the time we got that moviedone and out, I was like,
I didn't care. I didn't thinkit was gonna work, and it
obviously worked, you know, quitewell. It came out May twenty fifth.
You're right, I'm not seeing thatthing until Midsummer. So I promised

(01:08:09):
you I didn't see that movie untilthe end of July because what they probably
figured out was that people were goingto go see it a second time and
it just caught like wildfire, solike, well, fuck, let's go
see if we can up charge andmake more money. And it guess what,
that worked out quite well for them. Four bucks gone. I would
kill for four dollar movie down twodollars. Number two was Star Wars and
you know, obviously just you could. I think all of them. I

(01:08:31):
think Empire and Jedi. I thinkthey all came out in the summer.
Yeah. I Number one was Joss. I mean the one that kind of
started at all Again. To beon my list, I had to be
in the theater. And I havetold this story at nauseum. But nineteen
seventy five, when I go seethe movie, I'm I'm I'm five years

(01:08:51):
old. Yeah, and I don'tknow what the fuck my parents were thinking.
But because we had little Randy Ryan, my mom took my sister one
day and then my dad took methe next day. And and that's the
one that I went. I pissed, like every time my dad dad,
I gotta go to the bathroom.I went to the bathroom at least thirteen

(01:09:12):
times. And I remember my dadbeing so pissed. Because I was young,
he had to go with me tothe bathroom. Every time I got
scared, I'm like, let's go, I gotta go to the bathroom.
My Dad's like, what the fuckagain? My dad was so mad.
We get home and he goes thegoddamn kid went to the bathroom ten times.
I missed the movie. I wasscared, dude, I was scared,

(01:09:35):
but I was scroused. I wasso into it, like it was
the coolest thing ever. That Christmas, you get the Jaws game. It's
got the rubber thing and you're tryingto pull like shit out of his mouth
and not have it snapshot. Yeah. By the time I go to school
that year, nineteen seventy five,whatever, great, I'm in in first

(01:10:00):
grade. We made TV sets outof we had to save like a cardboard
box, and we had two rollsof paper and you rolled the paper across
the screen. And I made theJaws movie. I made Jaws like the
beginning, here's where the head popsout of the fucking boat, which is

(01:10:20):
the scariest thing ever. You knowthe heck that guy's name, I'll think
of it in a second, butyeah, I made the whole movie up
to the end with the explosion andeverything, and you had to like turn
the paper towel world roll right,And I made the Jaws movie. We

(01:10:41):
had to do it for school project. Yes, I didn't see Jaws at
the theater still to this day.I mean Jaws in the theater, little
kid. You would never you wouldnever fucking take a five year old of
that movie. But it was PG. Dude, Well PG meant different things
back then. You know. I'vegot myself in trouble trying to you know,
when my kid was younger, I'dbe like, oh, let's watch

(01:11:02):
this movie. It's PG, andthen you're like, wait, they could
say a lot of other stuff andPG and show a lot more back in
the day. In the PG movie, I'm like, Okay, maybe this
is a mistake, you know,one of the couple of them that were
missing for me. Remember the movieThe Fugitive Harrison Ford nineteen ninety three.
That was a great movie. Whenwhen he started looking at summer blockbusters,

(01:11:23):
Harrison Ford man between Star Wars,the Indie that and there's another one that
was kind of big too. Imean he owned owned. Yeah, the
Star Wars Empire Strikes Back. Ithink I saw an eighty in the theater
and I just remember like at theend of it, You're like, what,
no way, man, you know, he's his dad, no shit,

(01:11:45):
And like the wait for Return ofthe Jedi. I remember just everyone,
that's all we talked about, Fuckingwhen's Jedi coming out? When's the
next movie coming out? And thenI remember when Return of the Jedi came
out, like just being like,we gotta go, we gotta go,
we gotta go, we gotta gosee that movie. And I watched him
like, oh, okay, allright, it's okay. I guess yeah.
It wasn't. It wasn't like itwas great, But your anticipation for

(01:12:10):
that third movie was so high.When Jedi came out, it was like,
holy shit, I cannot wait.Yeah. Star Wars was just it
longed. No, I mean,I can't even imagine there was we even
I don't remember even one person sayingthat they weren't into Star Wars like when
it came out, you know,so the other ones you just had to
go to see those other movies.Well, they were so great. It

(01:12:32):
was such a great experience in thetheater as well, because it was new.
It was different. You didn't seethose special effects. I mean,
you were in space. You wentto that movie and it was like,
holy shit, you're in outer space. And the music was just unbelievable when
it hit on the title credits whereit was like laying way back and leaning
you had to try to figure outhow to fucking read that terrible font and
and then the music kicks in.You're like, holy fuck, here we

(01:12:54):
go. Dude. Was Greece asummer movie? I feel like it was.
It seems like it should have been, because it felt very summerish,
you know what I mean. Ifeel like it was, and I can
only remember I almost put it onmy list, but I I almost put
it on my list because number one, it's it's one of two movies that

(01:13:15):
I can remember my whole family,meaning my old man was there. He
wasn't working. He actually went tothe movies with us and Grease. Obviously
at the end of it, withOlivia WoT John it was like my first
boner ever. So when she waswearing all that, I feel like like
that was the summer of my firstbone. I think Grease, I think
Grease was a summer movie. Yeah, I don't. I didn't compend him.

(01:13:39):
You know what, honorable mention myfirst boner. I'm gonna write Grease
five B Jesus five B because ofa boner for the boner, five B
for the bone, my first bonethat happened into my pants here, what's
going on? I kind of likethose pants and shoes on that girl that
that that girly up there. She'sshe's not icky anymore. What's up?

(01:13:59):
Why she she doesn't have cooties?The rest of them got cooties? What's
up? Man? Um? Yeah, I didn't see that in the theater,
but like they did always show iton TV like once a year,
and then I'd watched it with myfamily, you know, Grace's oh shit,
Grease, let's watch it. Yeah, we went to the theater to
go see that. So my firstbone and the first time like my little
my little wiener like went into mybelly. Ben Gardner's boat, dude,

(01:14:20):
Jaws, that's the one my littlefive year old pecker went right inside because
that damn head pops out. That'swhen Hooper drops. The drops the the
the tooth the size of a shotglass. Oh yeah, if the mare
goes, you got the shot,you got the tooth. It's like,
no, I dropped it. BenGardner fucking popped out of the boat.

(01:14:40):
Gross. Yeah, Now you knowwhat, I'm gonna have to watch that
movie because like fourth of July weekendhere we're recording before that before fourth of
July weekend. Might have to putthat one on. I haven't seen it
in a while, like a longwhile. It's been a minute. So
you have no superhero movies. Igot them on the list, Like,
um, iron Man, that's thefirst kick that whole Marvel thing off back

(01:15:00):
in two thousand and eight. Thatwas the summer movie. I remember that
specifically being a summer blockbuster movie becauseit killed. I mean it absolutely.
I didn't feel like it beat theother ones, but such a great fucking
go back to like my criteria,which whatever, you don't have to do
that. Were you into that oris that something that you got into it
with your son? I was notinto it at all. I didn't know

(01:15:25):
who the fuck iron Man was.I knew Superman, I knew you know,
I knew the obviously the big onesthat was. I was into the
old, super old, old ChristopherReeve Superman movies. I love those.
And then his iron Man thing cameout and I saw it. I'm like,
that looks fucking awesome. I didn'tknow shit, I don't read comic
books, and I went to thetheater and saw it. I was like,
this is fucking great, this isabsolutely great. And then I saw

(01:15:49):
the Captain America and then I justfell into it. And then as my
son got older, we started towatch them together, and then by the
time he got old enough, wekind of caught up with it, you
know, as they were coming out, and then we took the ride all
the way to the end of theoriginal Avengers series, and it just fucked.
They were all great. I lovedall that shit. But but now
I've gone and seen a couple otherGuardians of the Galaxy three, and I'm

(01:16:12):
like, who gives a shit.I don't care anymore. It lost its
luster. It's it's like a likethey call call it superhero fatigue. I
guess, like it's the same fuckingmovie now over and over again. Oh
shiny object, everyone's gonna have it. Bad guy, good guy beat the
ship of each other for two hours. And that's why they have forty five
cameos in the Flash, because he'snot strong enough to carry his own movie
and they're doing all this as areyou into that the Flash? I'll wait

(01:16:34):
till it comes on TV, youknow what I mean? Or you know
I'm like, I mean, Ilike those movies. They're fun. I
like the production of it all andall it crazy, but I'm like,
it just becomes monotonous. It's justbecomes noise after a while. You know,
if there's not a great story,who gives a shit? You know,
but if you watched up yet withyour kid? So he ties all

(01:16:54):
the balloons to his house, theold guy and asked, we have we
watched it when she was really young, so I need to revisit that that
one is That movie is great?I love that movie. We definitely have
watched it before. I know.Aunt Sue's really trying to get her into
like Nemo and stuff, and it'sjust not her jam Man, She's into
the princessesses are big. Nemo's great. Nemo is a great one. We

(01:17:19):
were sitting out by the pool orsomething or outside. You can get the
little outside TV going put on Nemo. Everybody's watching because everybody loves Nemo.
It's great. So I had,I mean, I wanted to recognize Raiders
of the Lost Arcs. Those arephenomenal, all great. Um the one
that I put just because it's notfor me. But maybe this is just
to kind of like maybe rattle somethingin somebody else's brain that shares their top

(01:17:43):
five with us. Do you rememberthe Internet Phenomenon? The first ever Internet
Phenomenon movie, Blair Witch, Oh, yeah, because it was so fucking
cheaply may like thirty five thousand buckson and the Internet was so new about
it, like the Internet was theInternet itself was new, so there was
so much false information out there andwe didn't even know about fake news.

(01:18:04):
So I remember for a long timethinking, I think this is like something
that really happened somewhere right right,And they played it beautifully, and it
was like the greatest first Internet hoaxalmost. It was everywhere. It was
absolutely everywhere in the infancy of theInternet. I mean, I realized the

(01:18:27):
Internet was around, but nineteen ninetynine is pretty fucking early on that shitty,
pretty slow, pretty slow dial up, and they and I just feel
like they had everybody talking that everybodytalking, and it was the first time
that the Internet was talking about it. Yeah, I don't I've never seen
Blair Witch. I never saw iteither. I just don't watch that genre

(01:18:48):
of movies. But I mentioned thatI think all the Pirates of the Caribbeans
come out in the summer. Yeah, those are summertime movie. I didn't
even put those on the list aregood, but I think those are I
think those are big. I definitelyI wanted to shout out. I did
go see it in the theater.June eleventh, nineteen eighty six. Ferris
Bueller's Day Off. Yeah, that'sa good one. I didn't see that

(01:19:09):
in the theater though. I sawit in the theater. And then my
dad saw it in the theater,like he had gone and I remember talking
with him about it, and hejust thought that that kid, he's like,
man, that kid like, youknow, my dad is just like,
you know, such a cornball.He's like, man, that kid,
he just got out of everything.Man, that kid, like they
just couldn't catch him. It waslike, yeah, Dad, I agree,

(01:19:33):
Bueler's fucking dope. He's kid.They just could not. That kid
was out smart at everybody. Ifreally liked it, if only said Breezy
was so smart, Sae Breezy wasnot as smooth. See Breezy never saw
Ferris Bueller's Day Off. This isthe problem. See this is if you're
gonna start stealing cars or just findingkeys in them, you need to start

(01:19:56):
watching like Ferris Bueller's to get sometips on how to get away. No
one thinks everyone knows they could steala car. It's getting away with it
is the problem. Okay, it'sthe problem getting away with it. That's
what no one ever thinks about.Yeah, good movies. Yeah I Gump
came out in the summer and SavingPrivate Ryan. Both movies came out in
the center summer, and you know, Saving Private Ryan is like one of

(01:20:20):
my favorite movies of all time.It just didn't do you know. Obviously,
my summer blockbuster movies were you know, when I was young, when
it affected my life, and Ifeel like that you couldn't even leave your
house, you didn't want to seeanybody until you saw the movie because you
knew that they were gonna be talkingabout it, and that was that was

(01:20:41):
part of my criteria as well.You know. So it's just the summer
blockbuster thing. It's more of ayoung thing for me, or you know,
I could see you taking the approachof like going to see these with
your kid, right right. Butit's like, I haven't go to the
theater like since COVID. Obviously Ididn't go then, and then I think
I've gone twice since, so it'sbeen years. And I went, like
I said, I just saw TheGuardians of the Galaxy three, and I'm

(01:21:03):
sitting there and I'm like why amI here? My house has got more
treats. I can walk to thebathroom. I don't really miss anything.
It's bigger, it's louder here.But I'm sell a lot of money,
and I'm like old ball. Look, yeah, no, I know.
I guess that's it. I guessmaybe I'm old and I've seen too many
movies or I don't know. Ijust was like, okay, why am

(01:21:27):
I here? So the last timeI went to the movies was Top Gun.
I'm glad I went. I hada fucking blast, dude, Yep,
it was. It was the rightmovie to see in the theater,
and I thought, Okay, thisis gonna get me back in the theater.
I'm back, baby, I'm back, you know. And that was
the first movie I saw since thepandemic. I think since my kid was
born, you know, because Ihad the kid than the pandemic. So

(01:21:49):
there's just a lot of reasons notto go out, right, And I
haven't been back since to anything,you know. The only thing that I
maybe thought about going to the theaterwas to see Elvis, and I spent
the twenty five dollars to watch itfrom my couch, right, But that's
the only thing. I'm gonna sithere a bench. I don't want movie
theaters to go away. Well I'mnot doing anything to help them stay open.

(01:22:14):
No, but I'm not going togo to the theater watch a comedy
if it's gonna be like, I'llgo see Raiders, a Lost Art whatever.
The new one is, fucking IndianaJones, the new one. Yeah,
I'll see that in the theater becausethat's gonna be big and you want
to see that. But there's alot of movies I'm not gonna go to
theater a lot of that shit.It's gonna have to be like the Top
Guns or the Superheroes or the youknow, the dinosaur movies those because you
know, they put so much shitinto the sound and the look of it

(01:22:36):
all that I want to see inthe big screen. But most of it
I won't. I still like goingto the movies. They're still cool.
It's just I don't know. I'mlike, you're right, man, I
find get in my car, Igotta drive and I gotta get there.
And you know, the whole thing, I take that back because something did
come out after that, and Iwas amazed at because I'm this is how

(01:23:02):
this is how out of the moviesI am. I'm thinking you can still
go buy a fucking movie ticket,get in there early, and take a
seat somewhere. That's how old.That's the dinosaur that's talking on this podcast
right now. I have only I'veonly probably pre reserved maybe three movies in
my life on the internet. Imean that's kind of a in the last,

(01:23:23):
you know, eight year thing.Yeah, so I wanted to go
see something and it just was stupid. I'm like, no, fuck no,
I'm not sitting here here or here. It seemed crazy to me.
So that was kind of a turnoff to me. Yeah, four dollars,
I'm not I know, four dollars. About four dollars, I'm turning

(01:23:45):
into my mom the apple and thetree. Huh wow. I see.
I like the seat because anytime Iused to go back in the day with
my family or my wife, it'slike we'd be scrambling balls to get there
and then you fucking buy the ticket, you get your food, and you
want go to walk in thinking oh, I'm gonna get a great seat,
and you'd be sitting like in thesecond row, or you'd be sitting on
the edges, and I'm like,yeah, fuck me, he just got

(01:24:08):
a plan though. I mean,if you're going to a movie like I
need to, I mean, Ineed to do better on this. I'm
gonna get into this wheelhouse. Ithink London's mom took her to The Little
Mermaid, and maybe that's what Iwas looking at. And I was just
seeing sold out, sold out,sold out, sold out, Like fuck,
I mean what I might I gottago to stub hub to get a

(01:24:31):
movie seat for my kid to goto a movie. Yeah, it's like
a scalper. Oh yeah, no, I would never do that, but
yeah, no, you got.I don't mind booking the seat ahead of
time and having this got to doit ahead of time, though. You
just gotta be smart. If youreally want to go see something, you
gotta get in early, like aweek early. Well, if you're gonna
go opening weekend or that first coupleweeks. But I never end up doing

(01:24:54):
that. It's always like, youknow, Okay, we were the only
people in the theater the other day. It was awesome. It didn't matter.
We pre bought seats. But it'sthe way to go. I like
the pre buying of the seats man, But yeah, it's expensive and then
like you know the movie time,it said, oh it starts at six
fifteen, That fucking movie didn't startto like six fifty. Between the commercials
and the trailers and the bullshit,I'm like, dude, no, tell

(01:25:15):
me that not that long? Itwas forever. And I don't mind the
movie trailers. I like that.That's fun. That's half the game of
going to the theater, right,It's like movie trailers. I love that
shit. But after a while,I'm like, how many are they playing?
We stuck? Get a loop hereor something? What's going on?
Like five or six? Okay,I got it? But then it just
kept going. I'm like, canwe I don't want to give it.

(01:25:35):
Take a piss. I've just dranka galling lemonade. What's going on?
Any thoughts? Any final thoughts?Rod? Yeah, I do, and
I didn't want to be bummer guy. But I'm scrolling, maybe watching some
Instagram reels, and when you stopat something, then the algorithm says,

(01:25:58):
oh, you must want to seemore of these, and I'm seeing it
more and more, and it's it'stalking about that. June is Men's Mental
Health Month. Have you seen anyof those? No, there's a lot
of them. Everybody's using the samesound, and it's just you know,
everybody's using their own videos. Andit said, hey, June is Men's
Mental Health Month, and you know, nobody's really talking about it that type

(01:26:20):
of thing, and and I kindof I haven't mentioned it on the air.
I haven't said anything anywhere about it, and I don't want to.
I want to keep it light,tight and bright. But then every now
and then it's like, fuck,man, I feel like I really should
have said something on the air.When we're recording this, it's the twenty
eighth, I'll probably say something onthe radio on the twenty ninth. It's
like, I missed the whole goddamnmonth mental health for men sixty and sixty.

(01:26:45):
And I'll just leave it at that, sixty and sixty. This is
really really disturbing. And I hada bad couple of two years. I
don't know what it is with guysthat are our age Jason back home,
you know, talking with our buddybriggs Man, we know six guys him
and I. We know six dudesthat took their lives in the last couple
of years. In the last twoyears, we know six guys that are

(01:27:09):
our age. So again, thenumber is sixty and sixty. I'm gonna
leave you with this. This iscoming from I think the CDC. Every
sixty minute we lose sixty men tosuicide. That's it, sixty and sixty.
I didn't I never heard that number. I've heard the military number,
I've heard other things, but there'sjust still a stigma where dudes are not

(01:27:32):
talking. And it freaked me outover the last couple of years that guys
that are our age. What's goingon with the fifty year old man right
now? What's happening to a fiftyyear old guy? I mean, I
know I had a hell of ayear. You know, I got divorced,
tore my leg in half. Neverever would I ever consider that it

(01:27:54):
too much to live for and allof that. But what are these guys,
What are our guys? Our guys? What are our guys? What
are we what are they going througharound this age? I mean, I
can't sit there and diagnose that shit, but I know that I had a
buddy, a guy I went tohigh school with a few weeks ago he
passed away, and again, youknow, same age as us and stuff.

(01:28:15):
And then my other buddy, mybuddy Eric texted me like two days
later, goes, hey man,you see the news. I go yeah.
He goes, hey man, everythingcool on your end and I'm like,
yeah, dude, how about you? Everything cool? Yeah? And
he just checked in like, heyman, been a minute. How's thanks?
Everything cool? Everything? Yeah.Everything. We went back and forth
for a couple minutes, and it'slike, that's what I find that I
was always terrible at, but I'vegotten better in the last few years with

(01:28:38):
that kind of thing, you know, just hey man, how's the things?
What's up? What's up? Dog? I'll see breezy, you know
that kind of thing, you know, like what's up? And I think
that's part of it. Dudes,just don't fucking talk well. Think about
our generation. Dude, you neversaw your dad other than be angry mad
in show emotions. My dad nevershowed emotions about that that ship wasn't going
to happen. And what happens ifyou did when you when you were like

(01:29:01):
ten, and you skin your kneeand you start crying. Everyone all your
buddies like, man up, pussy, you know what I mean, You're
not supposed to. That's that's beenthe mentality for gen X. You know
you pussy, what are you cryingfor? Get up? Was? You
know what I mean? Like allthat now it's like if you start talking
feelings as a dude, everyone's like, okay, guys, that's what we're
doing. Have you ever heard thesixty and sixty number before? A simple

(01:29:26):
Google search on this November sixty mendie by suicide every hour. There's all
these different things and the number issixty in sixty suicide men. One man
dies by suicide every minute of everyday, of every hour of every then
in the US. Yeah, um, yeah, it's right here, says

(01:29:46):
globally. Man. I don't know, I never heard that sixty number,
and that kind of really kind ofrocked me when I knew I was gonna
mention this at the end of theshow. And again, I'm sorry,
I want to keep it tight.It's the end of the month, but
fuck man, it was a itwas a rough year for me, and
uh and and I'm not even anywherein that discussion. What's going what's going

(01:30:11):
on with these guys that have noother way, you know, to go?
It just it kind of blows mymind. So I wish I'd mentioned
it earlier in the month. Sohow are you gonna follow that, Jason,
I don't know. I'm not gonna. Um. What you do is
you just you just punt on thaton that one, I'm gonna I'm gonna
pull an audible on that one.No, but you know what it's And
it's always weird that you see afterwardslike, oh, I wish they would

(01:30:34):
have talked to me. I wishthey would have said something. I wish
they would have talked to me.If you're if that's your decision at the
end, man, I mean,that's you feel like you got nobody I
think. I don't know, itseems like that, but you do.
And that's the thing, man,you know, you always got somebody.
There is somebody out there. Someone'sgonna help because someone's willing to help,

(01:30:55):
you know. And if you havenobody, UM dial nine eight eighty.
That's like the new nine one onefor if you need the crisis hot line.
I used to struggle with the oneeight hundred number, and thank god
they came up with it. Soit's a national number. Dial nine eight
eight. You will have a humanbeing on the other line. What will

(01:31:16):
also help, Rod is UM.What's the number for the hall of Oates
calling Oates. Do you know thatnumber? Off hand? I don't remember
calling Oates calling Oates is I don'tthink. I think it was a regular
number. I think the funny partof it was that it was called Callings
and Oats. Yeah, I thinkthat number. If you call that,
that might bully out of the fuckingdould It was not to make light of

(01:31:40):
this, but number one six seven, one nine two six Oats. Of
course it is. Of course it'sOats that's calling Oates. And then you'll
get um who we did this bittwenty years ago and apparently the line because
I think we tried this not thatlong ago. But it's a dedicated Hall
and Oates hot line and it's stillactive. So I calling notes. I

(01:32:00):
love it. So that's about yourkids are giving you blank looks. They're
like haul and who have them callin Oates and then have them listen to
some tunes on the phone old school. I think it's it's an emergency backup.
Man. See, there you go. Yeah, you gotta twist it
back around on a positive note.There you go, calling notes. There
