0:19 Hello everyone, I am Jeff and welcome to History and Factory. Is about today? Today is August the twenty fifth. Now, my co host today is just cool as hell. One of the most creative people anywhere you'll find. Somehow she has time to turn all that creativity TV, films, podcasts, music, immersive immersive development experiences and all kinds of stuff. I don't know how she does it all, but hey, why don't you go ahead and introduce yourself there, Daphney. Hey, how are you today? Are Daphne Weeks. I'm CEO and founder of Twisted Grills Productions, executive producer for Bader Brothers Productions, and CEO and founder of High State's University. I'm a busy gal. Well the first. When everybody starts out on their own, I always asking them, so what got you to take that step about? Oh? Man, you know I got a divorce. Well I separated and it was just kind of time. I'm almost fifty and I was like, you know, you only go around a couple of times here, so I just kind of jumped in full force and I'm like, what do I want to do? And I bought a house and a ghost on I just kind of sek myself up to just do it all in, totally all in. So there really wasn't a plan. I just sort of decided it was time to do a second you know, second chance of life.

1:26 I guess you could say, well, you didn't start small when you started twisted twisted reels, man, you went all in with all kinds of different, different sorts of media too. I did. Yeah, it was really exciting. I sort of just started finding stuff I liked. I really enjoyed series creation, and so I started, you know, building up a nice slate of you know, TV series, and then that sort of rolled into podcasts and then soundtracking. I call myself a soundtrack alchemist. I just I absolutely love putting soundtracks together for anything I can get my hands on. And that just of led into a whole bunch of other projects, and I built a team, got amazing air i AI artists on my team. Now we're creating incredible music, some new shows. Just yeah, lots of exciting stuff. It just sort of all happened, happenstance. I don't know, it just sort of fell fell together.

2:17 I guess you could say nothing and then you just got done with an epic journey literally coast to ghost it did. It was the most epic journey. It was a trip to go get my dog. I left him down in California while I was making a move to Delaware. And big long story, but basically I ended up going from Philadelphia to Vegas. I rented a car in Vegas, drove it down to near Colexico, Mexico, and then turned around and drove from there to Delaware. And here I am. I'm now a resident of Delaware. Do you like kicking big moves? Do you like putting your feet up and having an adult beverage once in a while? I did? I did you? Actually? Were you there? That's exactly what I did. Yes, I had my feet in the window, redneck stile. It was great?

3:02 All right, what's awesome? All right, Well let's celebrate them today. Now I'll take my whiskey shower shit barside after hours thinking how can I get over? Yes? The love was never hour? Shall I know you got my message, all my exes and my os and it kills me by the hour. Now I take my whiskey sour Now, today is National Whiskey Sour Day. Now you don't have to be as mellow as cane Brown was there. You can actually have some fun. So what exactly is a whiskey sour. Well, it's got whiskey, then it's usually bourbon. Then you put in some lemon juice and some sugar. You shake it and serve it over ice, with a garnish of orange and then a cherry.

3:48 Eighteen seventy, it was delightful. You a whiskey sour fan. I am a whiskey sour fan. I'll take too. It was eighteen seventy of Wisconsin newspaper though Wakashi Plains Dealer. They printed the first story about the whiskey sour. They claimed that a guy named Elliott Stubb actually invented it. Now it doesn't have the punch of just straight whiskey, but it'll still kick your ass though if you drink too many of it. Now, if you're not into a whiskey sours today, today is actually also banana split day, so I didn't really talk about it because normally Derrek Queen has deals on it. No one's having deals today. So I guess you can have a whiskey sour and then if you get the munchies, have yourself a Banana split. I ran for both. Let's do it.

4:29 It's kind of a unique combination. I guess you would say. That might be an upset stomach waiting to happen, but I'm willing to try. All right, let's see what's going on in entertainment on August twenty fifth, Let's go back here. In nineteen ninety three number one album was a Sleepless in Seattle movie soundtrack. You'd Be forty had the number one song with Can't Help Falling in Love. Only Tracy Lawrence had the numb one country song with Can't Break It to My Heart.

5:17 Yes, frill Down, the Flowing It. I just. Now Twisted Reels. You have an internet radio station, right, I do. I have Twisted Reels Radio. Yeah, and it can be found on Life three sixty five on their app. It's it's great. I would love everybody to check it. Out, and we'll have a link at it at the end of the show. I'm not going to say that throughout the whole show. Just remember everything that she talks about. Yeah, there will be a link to hood on that show notes at the end.

5:58 Fantastic, Yes, come check us out. I would love it all right. The number one book was With That Remorse by Tom Clancy. The top movie was The Fugitive, a doctor he's falsely accused of murdering his wife, so he has to go try and find the real killer while he's involved in a nationwide manhunt after him. That's led by a US Marshall. Stars Harrison Ford, Tommy Lee Jones. That was nominated for a Best Picture Oscar Tommy Lee Jones. He actually won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor in there. Wow, I love that movie. I did not realize that he won for that. He should much deserving. Yeah, that's kind of a shock. Most of them nowadays you don't even know who's Do you know any of the movies anymore? No, I don't know anybody at all. I look at People Magazine and I'm like, these are strangers to me.

6:40 I know who these people. Are now on twisted reels. All your stuff, whether it's the films or the music or whatever. I've noticed that you do a lot of paid a lot of attention to your quality, the production quality. Yeah, we absolutely, yeah. I mean I'm a real stickler for that. I just think there's a lot of stuff out there that could be a lot better. Especially say post production. You know, there's a lot of little things that you can do, and so yeah, we pride ourselves. I'm really taking the time to pay attention to detail and really put the right team members on the project. So yeah, I think we pretduced good stuff. Thank you do too. And I notice a lot of your stuff has to do with resilience. Yeah, I'm actually a certified anger management specialist and then also a resiliency trader. It's kind of goes through all through my work. I mean it's like the roots of everything is resiliency and strength. So it's kind of an ethos I guess you could say around the Twisted Reels world our projects. Yeah, totally.

7:38 Well it's something everybody needs, that's for sure. Yeah. Oh especially now, Yeah, we can all use some resiliency, a little a little something, a little extra host from right. Let's see what happened On August the twenty fifth, fifteen to fifteen Spanish conquistador Diego of Vasquez di Sili he founded the city f Havana on the island of Cuba. Now he built it on the southern coast of Cuba, and it really sucked. You know, it was kind of swamping. It was full of mosquitoes, so he wasn't there. But after four years, in fifteen nineteen, all the people living they just got up and moved the whole city to where it is today. You ever been to Cuba. I have not been to Cuba. I would love to go to Havana. I'm fascinated by the culture. The food, off the chain, off the chain. I know that's got it. The beats and the food.

8:20 Yes, exactly, and yeah, totally. He's the dancing, the whole culture, the cars. Oh, just amazing. Sign me up, let's go. Well that'd be pretty easy, and we'll just have to have a twisted reels movie that takes place in Havana. Yes, oh see, now you've got my creator, Jesus flowing. I get to write something that takes place in Havana. Absolutely, yes, let's. Do that too. In sixteen oh nine, now he didn't invent it, but Galileo he demonstrated the first telescope that he had built. Now hands Lipper Hay he actually invented the telescope, but Galileo he made so many improvements to it. He increased the magnification by thirty times. Then he started a little profitable business he was building and selling telescope. Now, yesterday, I told you that in eighteen four teen, in the War of eighteen twelve, Dolly Madison and her slaves they were able to prevent the White House from being burnt to the ground in the war. Yeah, the British tried it.

9:07 Today they weren't around. So the British they burned the Library of Congress to the ground, over three thousand books inside. Yeah, they were completely destroyed. Ah, that's horrible. Then you knew who filled it after the war was over, Thomas Jefferson. Now I'm dying to find out. Really. Yeah, Wow, that's fascinating. I had no idea. He gave his personal collection of like over five thousand books to reestablish it. Very cool. Eighteen sixty two, the United States Secretary of War, Edward Stanton, he officially authorized black soldiers to be able to fight for the North in the Civil War. Of course, they'd been fighting all along, but it wasn't official. Now the first all black unit, it was for him today. It was the first South Carolina Volunteers, made up of mostly escaped slaves from South Carolina and Florida. Now their biggest badass woman. She was Harriet Tubman. She was their nurse, cook, spy, and scout. This is kind of a bad transition, but you're going from California to Delaware? Are you? Do you like the ocean that I'm assuming I do?

9:58 Actually I lived in the desert time when I live in California, But I'm a big ocean fan. Yes, absolutely, I didn't have to be in the ocean. You like to swim, oh, I love to swim. I do. In fact, it's funny you had mentioned swimming because I'm not sure if you're aware, but in eighteen seventy five, Britain's Matthew Webb was actually the first person to swim across the English Channel. It actually took him about twenty one hours forty five minutes or so. The record today was set in twenty twenty three. Guy did it in six hours and forty five minutes, an impressive speed if you ask me. But I think a guy being able to swim for twenty one hours is more impressive than swimming for under somen So that's my personal opinion.

10:40 That might doo. Yeah. Another interesting factoid that you might want to want to want to share is that in nineteen ten, John Hurtz formed Yellow Cab, and you would have thought that it was in New York, but it's actually in Chicago. So that was a little chotting to me with a little checkered thing. I would have thought, for sure, neew York, but no Chicago. Yeah, it's crazy, Yeah, yeah, for sure. Hey here's another one for you. See, I got all kinds of facts for you today. Did you know that in World War Two that Paris was liberated from the Nazi German occupation it was mostly the American army. Yeah, I know it's true. It was mostly the American Army that liberated the city, along with some French resistance fighters that kicked the Germans out of Paris, and the French general Charles de Gaulle didn't have anything to do with it, but he sure claimed the victory. So the real hero in this story was actually the German commander of the German army who occupied Paris, Dietrich Vaughan Chalite. I think is I've heard his name said, But yeah, this guy, he received a direct order from Hitler he was to leave the city. He was to blow up every Paris landmark, burned the city to the ground. But he didn't do that.

11:55 He didn't want to go down in history as the man who destroyed the City of Lights. Right, just surrendered he and his man. So basically, after four years of occupation, Paris was free. Beatrix wasn't. However, he was held as a prisoner of war until nineteen forty seven. So today might be the greatest day in history for anyone who has ever been under twenty five years old. In nineteen fifty eight, Japan's Mama fuku Ahu say that again that instead of selling packages a pre cooked ramen baby, you just had to add hot water. I mean, these things are magic. Seriously, if you haven't tried ramen tacos, you're missing out. But yeah, this guy Chicken Robin was born and he actually spelled it on the package c chi ki in chicken Ramen. So yeah, there you go. There's some guest host factoids for you today.

12:47 That's pretty good. Well, since you're on a roller, I had this immersion experience, let us all know what that is. Yeah, so these are becoming like super popular right now. So basically, you know, you go in with your family, you pay your little fee, and you walk in and you're basically transported into a whole other world. One of the biggest immersive experiences that are happening right now is in Vegas. If anybody's familiar with the Spear, just incredible, just amazing, And so it's basically the idea that you are, as it says, totally immersed in this experience three hundred and sixty degrees. You feel like you're there. You know Disney, you know Universal Studios. So many of these big companies are really jumping on this immersive experience thing, and we're developing one at Twisted Reels. It's called ever Pleasure. The soundtrack is available everywhere just type in ever Pleasure and there'll be more coming soon. We're going to be slowly releasing some music videos that are going to be some teasers for what are Immersive is about. It's going to be super exciting. If you're into weather, this is for you.

13:48 You're gonna love it seriously. Okay, definitely we have to check out whatever Pleasure. That sounds pretty cool. Yeah, do it. It's pretty awesome. I'm pretty proud of it. I did you know all of it at the artwork and everything. It's it's my baby, So yeah, I hope check it out. I hope you becauys like it. Will you start out in Louisiana? Right? I did, yes, many moons ago. So did you make did you make fun of the people in Alabama? Yes? Of course, you know there's always that little rivalry there. And I'm also Cajun as well, so I got to represent for my culture. We'll get this ninety Yeah. In nineteen ninety two and Dutton, Alabama, they held an election for the town's mayor. And it's some tari city cancel. No one voted, but that's because no one ran, all right. Now, in twenty ten, it was in an airport there. It was in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. It was in one of their local air flights. Like well, they had a domestic airplane. Now a crocodile was being illegally smuggled on that it escaped out and it cast such a panic between the passengers and the crew that they actually plane crashed twenty one and the twenty two people ended up dying. Crocodile walked away.

14:52 But you know that one person had learned, yep. But you know that one person had to live in order to tell that story. That the exact the whole reason that person survived because no one would believe that story so true. It's you. I know, you've got quite a few podcasts that you do, and at least and I know of at least three that are pretty interesting. I go you got that. Yeah, no fly podcasts. M h. We have metal Head Heart, Yeah, we have a go ahead. I'm sorry, it all excited. Yeah, yeah, these are all in production right now. They're going to be starting in twenty twenty six. It's super exciting. We've got Go Fly podcast, which is pretty much anybody who wants to travel around the world but they don't fly.

15:37 I think it's it's I am not a fan of flying, so this is a very close and personal project in my heart. We'll be talking to all kinds of really interesting people, boat captains you know for the Ritz Carlton Yacht Club, and a bunch of fun stuff, some tips and tricks on you know, how to book your your travel, all that sort of thing. We have metal Head Mocals, which is basically, you know, see CEOs who have stuck close to the ethos of you know, metal heads. You know, they've never wavered. And then hardcore Resilience another close personal to my heart is a podcast basically where we're talking the truth about what it takes to be resilient without maybe so much woo woo in there, you know, like that, it's a little more like it says hardcore resilience. Let's talk, you know. So there's so many fun projects coming up.

16:28 I just can't even stand it. Okay, well that's cool because that's a pretty good transition to that. I want to know more about High Stakes University. Oh yeah, high Stakes University. I'm a little known fact perfect for this show. I'm actually a stocking survivor. And so because of my experiences with that, I became very involved in the executive protection space. You know, any kind of security I really have honed in on that, and so we developed a or I developed with one of my business partners, a training program where we teach first responders executive protection professionals how to use UAV or drone technology to keep their people safe. I like to say, if you can't have boots on the ground, you can at least have an eye in the sky. So that's what we do. We collaborated with another company called Altitude University.

17:14 We're using their coursework. We're currently in a couple of community colleges. It's really exciting times, pretty neat. Yeah, and really definitely needed. And it's totally awesome concept. You turned bad into good. Yeah, exactly exactly, And it's been really rewarding, Like it's been so cool to hear our clients say, you know, we just feel so much better about being able to protect our people because we have this technology and we help them get the license and all that stuff. Yeah, it's a lot of fun. It's great to get out there and meet the first responders like boots on the ground. You know, it's really fun. I'm in doing it. Well, good deal, and that's definitely helping society. So that's having fun on the side on our high stakes. And then you go to the university and actually save the world. That's right. I hey, I do what I can.

18:00 See. Who was born on August the twenty fifth. Who's your favorite James bond. Ooh, you know, I don't know. I would have to say I'm a big Originals fan. I like anyone who originally played and he would have to say Shana Henry. Well good because this actor Sean Connery's birthday today he's born. Hey, look at that. He's born in Edinburgh, Scotland in nineteen thirty. Now I'm not gonna get personal, but he believed that most people's tattoos were frivolous and stupid, but not his, so he only got two of them. When he was sixteen years old he joined the Royal Navy. He ended up getting two tattoos. Always in there. One said mom and Dad, the other said Scotland Forever. Now. After the Navy, he took up bodybuilding. Would you ever think of James Bond as he got third place in the universe?

18:44 Wow? I would not have thought that. Color me surprised. Okay, so he did the first seven James Bond movies. So I'm gonna pick what I think are his best non Bond movies. I'm gonna go with Highlander, Indiana, Jones and The Last Crusades, Hunt for Red October, and Untouchables where he did win an oscar for. That one, and he should have. I loved the Untouchables. I just rewatched that for like the fifty thousandth time, maybe two weeks ago. Never gets old, you. Know, it doesn't if you're just sitting around not paying any attention and it comes on you end up watching it. Yeah, it's true. It'll suck your whole day away. Now. He had one son from his first wife, married a second wife in nineteen seventy five. They were together until he died in his sleep in twenty twenty ninety years old.

19:27 Hey, if you got to go, that's the way to go is in your sleep. That's what I say. True, your nobody till somebody loves you, Your nobody. Till somebody care you may became, you made, possess your world and let's go. You have any guesses? And who that was? I think? Is that is that? Rich's Philbins. You're right, rich Is he's born to I know, you just think him being kind of the not dumb, but kind of Kathy Lee's sidekick, right.

20:08 Yeah, you wouldn't think of him as having some soul there. Even in the two thousands, he was still touring around doing like ballrooms, and he would sit there and do that kind of music and then tell stories about all his years in Hollywood. It's fascinating. I had no idea. Mind blown again. Regis. He was born in Manhattan, New York. In nineteen thirty one, he started out as a page on The Tonight Show. Now he holds a Guinness Book of World Record for a person who's been on TV the most hours. Now, not like a newscaster, they're talking like entertainers and that kind of thing. But he did start out as a sidekick on The Joey Bishop Show. Then he did a lot of morning talk shows over the years. Then of course he hit with Regis and Kathy Lee and then Live with Regis and Kelly. He was original host of the game show Who Wants to Be a Millionaire. He's played himself in twenty three different movies, so those would be pretty easy lines to remember.

20:53 I would think, mm hmm, yeah, exactly. He had a daughter and a son from his first wife, married a second wife, Joy in nineteen seventy and they had two daughters. Reads He died from a heart attack in twenty twenty at eighty eight years old. Actor Tom Scarett he's ninety two. He's still with this. He was born in Detroit in nineteen thirty three. He first got known in the movie Mash and then Alien Top Gun and River runs through it on TV. You start on picket Fences now. He had three kids from his first wife. He had a son from his second wife, married his third wife in nineteen ninety six and they have a daughter. So when you think of twisted reels, what would you if Sondy said what kind of movies do you make out? What would you kind of just blink and give them? Oh? Rock and roll. Absolutely everything we do has a little something something to do with rock and roll. Absolutely, that's that's our overarching vibe. Yeah, absolutely, that's pretty fun.

21:42 Actually I love that concept. Yeah, yeah, there's always Like I said, I'm a soundtrack alchemist. It's got to have good music in it. It has to not necessarily metal, you know, rock. It's gonna have a little little blues, little scene things, some feeling to it. Are you a music fan? Yeah? I actually have an Internet At the end, I hope you like country music because you have to hear one song I do. I do. Actually, yeah, this is perfect, fantastic. So what is this One's intriguing me outlaw in laws? Yeah, this is a reality show. I mean, I hate to use that word. The word is unscripted. That's what everybody uses now, it's unscripted. But basically this TV show concept is where there may be a very straight laced conservative person who marries someone who is, say, part of a biker clan, and so this is, you know, the outlaw in laws and how they're going to get along.

22:33 And I think it's a perfectly timed show for the political climate we're in right now, because we're at such extremes and I think it's a great way to showcase how people can get along and love will prevail, I think, Or will it not? Will it be a nightmare? We don't know. Let's watch. Well it worked out good on what's that story? Right? Exactly right? So hey, you never know this, This could be like the love story for the ages. All right, let's hear some rock and roll. You know now, if you don't know who that is, you must be living under a rock. Seriously. That was Gene Simmons singing for the band Kiss of Course. Now, Jean is seventy six and he was born in Israel in nineteen forty nine. It's hard to believe the guy could possibly be that old, but he is, and he's still rocking along. It's crazy. Now a lot of people don't realize that his mom was actually a Nazi concentration camp survivor. When he was eight, his parents' divorce came to the US, so he grew up in Queens with his mom. He helped for Kiss in nineteen seventy three and finally called a Quinton twenty twenty three. Now, the band if You Don't Know, has sold over a hundred million records. That's a lot, and they were in makeup.

24:01 Geane was known as the Demon Child. He played bass guitar. Some Kiss songs he sang lead on, but mostly he played bass. De trayed Rock City, he sang on Beth Rock and Roll All Night God gave rock and Roll to you so many good ones. Another little known factoid is that he actually dated Cheer for quite a long time. He dated some other big names too, But then Jean started dating Shannon Tweed in nineteen eighty three. That's a love story for the ages. They had a son and a daughter and finally got married in twenty eleven. And Jean has never drank alcohol or done drugs in his life. That'scinating. I know, you want to hear something else that's fascinating about him. Him and the other guys in Kiss, they've all had hip trouble and they always from wearing those big old boots, you know, with the big deal boots.

24:49 I can't even imagine clopping around of those things all day. That's crazy. Give them all. Breaking the law, bringing the law, bringing the law, breaking the law, breaking the law, bringing the law. Now that is the metal god. Rob Halford the lead singer for Judas Priest. Rob was born in Sutton Coldfield, England, in nineteen fifty one, and this guy is seventy four today and does not look at all close to that.

25:32 Rob joined Judas Priest in nineteen seventy three. He's still there. They're touring. They did take some time off from the nineties, but they are back and they are sounding so good. They've sold over fifty million records, won a Grammy in twenty ten for Best Having Metal Album. They are touring here in the States, like I said, September and October. So if you go see him, I'm sure you're going to hear the classics heading up on the highway. You got another thing coming living after midnight, Breaking the law. Rob is amazing. He's just he never gets old ever, and he calls himself the stately homo of heavy metal music. And he is married to his husband Thomas and I think they've been together for like forever in a day. So yeah, fun factoids there.

26:13 It is kind of an interesting factor, not a fact. It's kind of interesting how back when he first came out and the band was he was more thought the band was going to reject him more than the band was like yeah whatever. Yeah, they didn't care. I actually read K. K. Downing's book and he addresses that that they were all actually shocked that he did not come out sooner, because, as he said, we already knew. You were the only one who didn't. I don't, okay, sorry, I had to control myself.

27:04 I was literally dancing around my living room on that one, and I'm sure everybody else was too. That is the amazing and legendary Elvis Costello, who is seventy one. He was born in London, England, in nineteen fifty four, and released his first album in nineteen seventy seven. It wasn't doing very well, and then he was asked to replace the Sex Pistols on Saturday Night Live, under one condition he could not play his radio songs. It criticized the corporate commercialization of music, which of course was such a new no in that time. Elvis said, okay, then of course he played the song anyway. He was then banned from Saturday Night Live for life. One of the few artists. There is a few, but he is definitely one of them.

27:45 They did invite him back in nineteen eighty nine some Elvis Costello song, Pump It Up Veronica, the other side of Summer this Town, I mean, just amazing hits. He's just a god, you know, among musicians. He did have his son from his first wife. He married world famous concert pianist Diana Crawl, who is just a goddess. She's amazing. They got married in two thousand and three. They married at Elton John's house. That's so cool. Can you imagine having that as your friend? Hey, can we use your house for our wedding? Sure? Yeah. They have two sons. Elvis Costello and the Imposts will be touring the US in September and October. I don't know. It must be a British thing. Judas Priest is doing the same thing. What can I say?

28:25 I know I was thinking, Diana, she must drink, I mean, because you've seen her obviously got her goddess. And then you look over Elvis and you're like, huh, I doubt. Yes, there must be some sort of backstory to their love affair because I don't see it. But that's okay. It's not for us to judge. Right, that's right, and they're happy, so that's all that matters. That's all that matters. Totally. Do you like movie maker Tim Burton's movies? Who doesn't? Who doesn't? You know? I got to say the only one that I did not like was Dark Shadows. Other than that, yes, total fan, total fan. Your movies are kind of dark. Oh, they're very dark, And I think that's what bothered me about that one was that they should have gone darker. They won a humor route and I kind of thought, e, that's not really sticking true to it. So yeah, as someone who likes to write dark, I think they could have done better. Sorry. Tim.

29:14 He started out actually an animator for Disney. Did you know that? I did not know that. Wow, that's fascinating. I can see it though. Yeah. Din Burton he was born in nineteen fifty eight in Burbank, California, sixty seven a day now. His movies they're so dark, you'd never think that. His very first movie was actually Pee Wee Herman's big adventure of the first twenty director did. Not realize that, Wow, that's fascinating. Mind blown again. So he went from Peewee to Beetlejuice and then the first three Batman movies Edward Scissors and Mars Attacks Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice. Did you like the follow up? I did. I like the follow up. I thought it was done well. Maybe a few too many storylines, but I liked it. It was good. It was good. Now he's married to his first wife for four years, and then he dated Helena Bonham Carter for thirteen years and they had two children. I don't know if they still do, but even after they broke up, they've bought houses that were night next to each other, and then they had a hallway they'll go back and forth.

30:03 Well they're gorgeous, I mean really, like, seriously, can you imagine a more goffy couple. That's true. Now and his movies. You know, he did the movie Planet of the Apes. He was kind of tormented with it. See don't ask me how he got it, but dem he has a really serious phobia of chimpanzees. That is, I did not know that, but you know what, though, looking at the movie, it does make a lot of sense. I have to say, maybe I'm not the biggest fan of that one either, And I think him having a fear of chimpanzees that explains. It explains a lot. Like we said, your movies are dark, but you actually do a lot of dark humoring look too. Oh absolutely, yeah, ours is riddled with dark humor, really, and I think that's part of the resiliency thing, you know, to take it back to that really quick, because that's how I've always gotten through things. And sort of I hate to use the word teach, but I guess that's what I try to implore on people, is that you have to laugh about it. I mean, I like to say, well, you know, it's better than a sure stick in the belly.

31:02 It's true, It's true, It's very true. So yes, I do, I do weave in a lot of dark humor. Absolutely, I'd agree with I guess we're out of rock. They won't be reaching. Don't tell. I just don't wait. You don't stand till my hot. Love Billy Ray Cyrus. He's sixty four. He's born in Flat Woods, Kentucky in nineteen sixty one. He's released eighteen albums. If you can Blue That Now you think achy Break Your Heart was his biggest song. No, he actually hit bigger. He went number one nineteen straight weeks. That's right on the pop chart.

31:45 Yeah. He did Old Town Road with Little nas X a couple of years ago. Some of Yeah, some more Billy Ray's country songs. There could have been me. Some gave all. She's not crying anymore. It's done. Some acting on TV. He was on Doc for like four years, and then Hannah Montana with his daughter. Biggest movie, I'm Gonna Go as Sharknado two in nineteen two. Nineteen ninety two, he divorced his first wife, and then right after that divorce, he got two women pregnant. One had a son and one had a daughter. He married the one that had the daughter, who was Miley. Then they stayed married for thirty years and had four more kids. They divorced in twenty twenty three. A couple weeks later, he married his next wife, but they divorced after just ten months. I don't think Bill, you've seen pictures of Billy. You said you pick up People magazine.

32:30 I don't. I don't think he has combed his hair since he got rid of the mulletin back in ninety two. You know, I've got some feelings on old Billy. Yes, a clean shirt and a haircut would not do the man, let me tell it you. No, it sends to you Bill Harray Cyrus for Barack homb that's all. And that's that's what hard You know he's dating right now? No, who's he dating? Elizabeth Hurley? You remember her? You great? Are you kidding me? See? That's like the Diana crawl thing we were talking. I don't get it. Hey, Love is an interesting thing, isn't it exactly? Carolina Dens, California, somewhere green or somewhere warmer down where noms where I'm always somewhere the others Carolina Downes, California.

33:30 Hey, sticking with our country theme here today. Country singer Jody Messina is fifty five years old now. She was born in Framington, Massachusetts, in nineteen seventy. For those of you that may not know some of her number one songs, which are really good, you should go look them up. Bye bye, I'm alright. Stand beside me. One of my favorites might give a damns busted now. She is on tour now through the middle of November here in the States. And she married in two thousand and seven. And they have two sons in case you were interested. Now, ja she care. She's really cool. I mean you talk about resilience. When she first came out, man, she was a heavy girl. I mean, not obede. Yeah, she was heavy. Yeah, and she would just get ripped for it.

34:16 You know, all the a lot of younger people, they don't realize it. When she came out. She came out at the same time as like Shania Twain and Faith Hell and all those I mean, and then here she was, you know, kind of a big girl. And so then she lost all the weight and then she got criticized for losing the weight. Well, let's you know, that woman thing. You can't win. I mean, she went out there and represented all the real women and then you know, hey, she decided this is what I want to look like. And of course the world's going to hate you no matter what. It's just the plight of a woman. Our weight is never right, never right. So go ahead with yourself. Jody. We like you, we do. Yeah, we're fans. Do you know thirty eight actors Blake Lively. You know she is, I do, yes, yes, And you know she was actually born in Tarzana, California, in nineteen eighty seven. She is thirty eight years and she first got known in the movie The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants, which is a really good one, and then she started a Green Lantern. But basically her biggest success, and I think what most people know her from is TV's Gossip Girl. Now.

35:12 Blake married actor Ryan Reynolds in twenty twelve and they have three daughters and one son. Busy working couple. So do you think if you're born in Tarzana that if you get in trouble, if you named your daughter Jane. I would think so. I would think that would probably be like a cultural no. No, okay, So.

It's going to be great. I'm so excited about it. Not a very good golfer, so to me, it seems like every fairway is haunted, right exactly.

They're just not that great of golfers, which makes it even funnier. It makes regular folks like you and me like cool with watching golf because I.
