Roof Man Movie Review: The Insane True Story of Jeffrey Manchester


What happens when a man falls from grace so cleanly it looks like choreography? This week on Parallel Frequencies, Just Blane and Coco dissect the new Channing Tatum feature, Roof Man. Based on the true story of Jeffrey Manchester, the film explores a criminal who didn’t use violence, but rather charm, mechanical skill, and the element of surprise—literally dropping from the ceilings of McDonald’s and Blockbusters.
The duo dives deep into the "idiot savant" nature of Manchester’s crimes and the heartbreaking motivation behind them: a bike for his daughter. Beyond the film, Coco brings a heavy-hitting perspective on "Poverty Culture" and how generational lack rewires the human brain, forcing us to reconsider our moral superiority.
The episode takes a turn into the surreal with "Freaky Friday," discussing the Metaverse, 90s VR rigs, and a brand-new Mandela Effect regarding Nostradamus that will leave you questioning your own memory. Is it a glitch in the simulation, or are we just "one bad day" away from becoming someone else?

Have you ever watched somebody fall so far from
00:00:02.899 --> 00:00:05.719
grace, it looked so clean that it was almost
00:00:05.719 --> 00:00:08.300
like choreography? Because that's what our movie
00:00:08.300 --> 00:00:11.419
that we're talking about today is. We're talking
00:00:11.419 --> 00:00:16.199
about Channing Tatum's Roof Man. Yes. It is Parallel
00:00:16.199 --> 00:00:18.460
Frequencies. I am Just Flame, this is Coco, and
00:00:18.460 --> 00:00:20.760
you are the freaks. What's up, Coco? Welcome.
00:00:20.920 --> 00:00:22.920
We're at Land of a Thousand Hills again. We love
00:00:22.920 --> 00:00:25.760
it here. Yeah. We love Amber. Shout out to Amber.
00:00:25.800 --> 00:00:28.519
Haven't seen her in a while. No. Oh, you got
00:00:28.519 --> 00:00:30.719
that going down. I do socializing with my witch
00:00:30.719 --> 00:00:32.560
friends. I love that. What else you got going
00:00:32.560 --> 00:00:36.299
on this weekend? I was invited to a pajama party.
00:00:36.659 --> 00:00:39.140
See how that goes. Now, hold on. I don't know
00:00:39.140 --> 00:00:41.859
if I fit in with a pajama party crowd, but. What?
00:00:42.520 --> 00:00:48.560
I don't know. That feels a little posh. I would
00:00:48.560 --> 00:00:51.460
say it feels a little lazy, though. Like, I would
00:00:51.460 --> 00:00:53.560
go to a pajama party. I picture this being like
00:00:53.560 --> 00:00:56.219
a champagne flutes kind of pajama party. Oh.
00:00:56.420 --> 00:00:59.560
Like Real Housewives of Salt Lake City might
00:00:59.560 --> 00:01:02.140
do. Is it with Miss International? Okay, okay.
00:01:02.439 --> 00:01:05.400
Never mind then. That's going to be a little
00:01:05.400 --> 00:01:07.760
posh. I think so. Which is why I said yes, because
00:01:07.760 --> 00:01:10.140
I'm like, I could use a little bit of leveling
00:01:10.140 --> 00:01:13.540
up. Yeah, I mean, my idea of a pajama party is
00:01:13.540 --> 00:01:15.299
like not leaving the house, putting a bunch of
00:01:15.299 --> 00:01:17.299
movies on, get some sleeping bags out. It's probably
00:01:17.299 --> 00:01:20.659
not going to be that. With my kids? That's probably
00:01:20.659 --> 00:01:22.959
normally what I would do. Yeah, right? Yeah.
00:01:23.519 --> 00:01:25.500
I like to just have some chill get -togethers.
00:01:25.500 --> 00:01:27.719
My tea and tarot nights are literally just that.
00:01:27.859 --> 00:01:30.019
I just bring out tea. I say, bring whatever you
00:01:30.019 --> 00:01:32.920
want to eat. Yeah. Wear whatever you want. Lindsay
00:01:32.920 --> 00:01:35.079
will be over there. Yeah. Oh, I can't wait. And
00:01:35.079 --> 00:01:36.599
she doesn't leave the house. She doesn't even
00:01:36.599 --> 00:01:38.659
get out of the house. I know we have to pull
00:01:38.659 --> 00:01:40.680
her out. I haven't seen her in like two weeks
00:01:40.680 --> 00:01:43.060
myself. So you're going to get to see my wife
00:01:43.060 --> 00:01:45.000
and I haven't even seen her. She likes me better.
00:01:45.079 --> 00:01:47.060
We text each other every once in a while. It's
00:01:47.060 --> 00:01:49.140
probably true. It is funny how me and you spend
00:01:49.140 --> 00:01:51.140
time together and then you and her do. I know.
00:01:51.239 --> 00:01:53.159
And then me and her have conversations. Do you
00:01:53.159 --> 00:01:56.140
compare notes? No, we talk to each other. We
00:01:56.140 --> 00:01:58.680
find out what was going on because it'll be like,
00:01:58.719 --> 00:02:00.760
oh, I was talking about this. Oh, that's awesome.
00:02:00.799 --> 00:02:03.099
You did that today. It's kind of, we find out
00:02:03.099 --> 00:02:07.579
each other's days. Yeah. Because, yeah. I'm like
00:02:07.579 --> 00:02:12.180
the conduit. Yeah. I like that. We should have
00:02:12.180 --> 00:02:14.240
a nickname for you like that. The Conduit. Yeah.
00:02:14.360 --> 00:02:17.840
Time to go see Courtney. I think the witch tag
00:02:17.840 --> 00:02:21.759
has outlived its purpose at this point. You are
00:02:21.759 --> 00:02:25.000
far more than that. You are a Conduit. Okay.
00:02:25.539 --> 00:02:28.080
Daybreak's Conduit. Let's go with it. Do you
00:02:28.080 --> 00:02:29.699
know what I'm excited about? I'm in a good mood.
00:02:29.740 --> 00:02:32.300
Can you tell? Yeah. It's Coachella weekend again.
00:02:32.560 --> 00:02:36.479
Mm -hmm. Couchella. If you do it that way, which
00:02:36.479 --> 00:02:39.120
I do because I'm not going out there. I'm telling
00:02:39.120 --> 00:02:40.599
you, last weekend it looked like them people
00:02:40.599 --> 00:02:43.800
were on Arrakis in Dune. Yeah. Like, it was wild.
00:02:43.879 --> 00:02:45.719
The stuff that they had wrapped up. I love the
00:02:45.719 --> 00:02:48.740
drip, as they call it, though. Yeah. I do. I
00:02:48.740 --> 00:02:50.159
love all that. I like nature, but I don't like
00:02:50.159 --> 00:02:52.620
being uncomfortable to that level. And they're
00:02:52.620 --> 00:02:56.439
camping out there. Yeah. Good for you. I had
00:02:56.439 --> 00:02:58.460
the opportunity to go quite a few times and just
00:02:58.460 --> 00:03:02.120
never did because I was like, nah, man. I'm good.
00:03:02.240 --> 00:03:03.919
I'm not going down there for the weekend and
00:03:03.919 --> 00:03:05.740
then have to come back in here to Big Boy Studio
00:03:05.740 --> 00:03:10.259
on Monday morning covered in dirt, soot, whatever
00:03:10.259 --> 00:03:12.819
else was out there in that desert. I have been
00:03:12.819 --> 00:03:14.759
to Coachella, though, but just not the festival.
00:03:15.439 --> 00:03:18.800
Indio. Indio, California. It's beautiful. Yeah.
00:03:18.860 --> 00:03:20.919
It's a beautiful drive, too, if you're not going
00:03:20.919 --> 00:03:23.960
when Coachella's going on. Because then you just
00:03:23.960 --> 00:03:27.120
literally, you could walk faster than you could
00:03:27.120 --> 00:03:29.340
get there. But yeah, it's a beautiful drive.
00:03:29.439 --> 00:03:31.569
Middle of nowhere, really. But I can't wait for
00:03:31.569 --> 00:03:34.150
that. Remember, Saturday night, 9 -inch noise.
00:03:34.430 --> 00:03:36.449
I'm telling you, if you missed it last weekend,
00:03:37.830 --> 00:03:40.650
iconic. And this will be the second weekend in
00:03:40.650 --> 00:03:45.870
a row to see it. But let's get to Feature Friday.
00:03:46.490 --> 00:03:49.530
Feature Friday. We got Feature Friday. We are
00:03:49.530 --> 00:03:53.969
talking about the one with Channing Tatum, but
00:03:53.969 --> 00:03:56.270
not the Magic Mike Channing Tatum. Not the Step
00:03:56.270 --> 00:04:00.300
Up. Not the Charming Rogue with a wink. But he
00:04:00.300 --> 00:04:02.979
is handsome in this. I mean, always. It's hard
00:04:02.979 --> 00:04:04.680
for him not to be, right? He's one of those.
00:04:04.740 --> 00:04:06.539
Can he play a part where he's not handsome? I
00:04:06.539 --> 00:04:08.180
don't think that's possible. Well, the difference
00:04:08.180 --> 00:04:10.360
in this role and some of his other roles is this
00:04:10.360 --> 00:04:13.460
one feels like it's a version of him that's standing
00:04:13.460 --> 00:04:17.420
on the edge, low key, hoping nobody pulls him
00:04:17.420 --> 00:04:20.180
back. Because there's not much that's keeping
00:04:20.180 --> 00:04:25.360
him from just being this screen stealing, really.
00:04:25.439 --> 00:04:27.910
Because he does. Let's just say it. I mean, he
00:04:27.910 --> 00:04:30.209
steals every scene that he's in in this movie.
00:04:30.370 --> 00:04:34.649
Yeah. And this isn't like a glow -up story. This
00:04:34.649 --> 00:04:37.569
is the peel back the layers and see what's underneath
00:04:37.569 --> 00:04:39.990
story. But this one's also based on a true story.
00:04:40.589 --> 00:04:43.149
That is where I think he really shines because
00:04:43.149 --> 00:04:47.009
the very end in the credits and you have to like.
00:04:47.579 --> 00:04:50.220
Tell your streaming service to not skip the credits.
00:04:50.399 --> 00:04:52.620
I had to learn that. Because there's more going
00:04:52.620 --> 00:04:54.379
on during the credits. But they like to skip
00:04:54.379 --> 00:04:56.680
to the... No, they're like, and moving on. And
00:04:56.680 --> 00:04:59.120
you're like, hold on. I have more... Wait, there's
00:04:59.120 --> 00:05:00.920
more going on here. I want to see. You get to
00:05:00.920 --> 00:05:03.259
see the pictures of the real Jeffrey Manchester.
00:05:03.639 --> 00:05:06.120
Okay. The real Lee, the girlfriend that he has
00:05:06.120 --> 00:05:08.540
in a story played by Kirsten Dunst in this movie.
00:05:09.540 --> 00:05:11.839
You get to see the pictures of him and his family.
00:05:11.879 --> 00:05:16.120
You get to see kind of... Who the real guy was
00:05:16.120 --> 00:05:19.600
and the comparison of, you know, how did Channing
00:05:19.600 --> 00:05:23.000
Tatum do? And I think he did excellent. He looks
00:05:23.000 --> 00:05:25.600
like a very charming guy. Yeah. And he played
00:05:25.600 --> 00:05:27.480
it like that. I've never heard it. Here's the
00:05:27.480 --> 00:05:29.860
thing about it. I've never heard anything bad
00:05:29.860 --> 00:05:32.680
about Channing Tatum in Hollywood. I haven't
00:05:32.680 --> 00:05:34.000
heard. I've heard he's a good dude. I've heard
00:05:34.000 --> 00:05:36.879
he gives back. He does all the right things.
00:05:36.959 --> 00:05:39.779
Yeah. And I love to see him get more roles. I
00:05:39.779 --> 00:05:42.120
like his movies. I'm a fan of his. I'm a huge
00:05:42.120 --> 00:05:47.519
fan of his. And this one, he does differently
00:05:47.519 --> 00:05:51.060
than his other movies. I do think he is off the
00:05:51.060 --> 00:05:54.459
chain, per se. I think they've let him loose
00:05:54.459 --> 00:05:59.079
to see what he can do. And, you know, it's not
00:05:59.079 --> 00:06:03.120
loud and flashy. He's playing some dude who,
00:06:03.180 --> 00:06:05.000
basically, it's like he almost held his breath
00:06:05.000 --> 00:06:08.100
his whole life. Like you know something we don't.
00:06:08.100 --> 00:06:10.279
Or maybe he thinks he does. Because that's what
00:06:10.279 --> 00:06:14.120
this character, Jeffrey Winchester, is. Is he
00:06:14.120 --> 00:06:16.699
a bumbling idiot that just happens to fall into
00:06:16.699 --> 00:06:20.959
the right thing? The success? Criminal success.
00:06:21.100 --> 00:06:24.379
Criminal success. That's why I was looking for
00:06:24.379 --> 00:06:26.220
the right word. Because right thing was not the
00:06:26.220 --> 00:06:28.560
right way to say it. Successfully criminal? Yeah,
00:06:28.579 --> 00:06:30.980
but he does. Or is that an oxymoron? What do
00:06:30.980 --> 00:06:33.939
you think about that? He made some dumb ass mistakes.
00:06:34.160 --> 00:06:36.240
Yeah, some of the choices when we were watching
00:06:36.240 --> 00:06:38.779
the movie, we were like, I mean, he's clearly
00:06:38.779 --> 00:06:43.379
brilliant. And the police officers who see what
00:06:43.379 --> 00:06:46.100
he's done, how he was arrested the first time
00:06:46.100 --> 00:06:49.000
for the robberies that he made, but then later
00:06:49.000 --> 00:06:52.100
escaping from prison and the way that he does
00:06:52.100 --> 00:06:54.759
it, they're admitting he's a very intelligent
00:06:54.759 --> 00:06:57.579
human being. We're working with somebody who
00:06:57.579 --> 00:07:01.029
really knows his stuff. At the same time... He's
00:07:01.029 --> 00:07:05.689
got this superhuman level ability to see these
00:07:05.689 --> 00:07:08.790
details and to plan these things out and to observe.
00:07:09.709 --> 00:07:12.990
And then the choices that he actually makes are
00:07:12.990 --> 00:07:17.389
like, really? Is this like an idiot savant? I
00:07:17.389 --> 00:07:20.129
don't even know if you could call it that. I'm
00:07:20.129 --> 00:07:24.310
not sure. But what threads both of those two
00:07:24.310 --> 00:07:28.660
sides together is his charm and likability. So,
00:07:28.680 --> 00:07:31.439
really, you're not ever watching this movie,
00:07:31.560 --> 00:07:33.560
and I think, again, that's where Channing Tatum
00:07:33.560 --> 00:07:36.939
is playing this character just right, is you
00:07:36.939 --> 00:07:40.139
don't hate him. And you're not mad at him. And
00:07:40.139 --> 00:07:43.519
you're not like, this is an evil guy doing criminals.
00:07:43.959 --> 00:07:46.980
He should be in prison. You really genuinely
00:07:46.980 --> 00:07:50.720
feel bad that he has to go to prison and that
00:07:50.720 --> 00:07:52.579
he did these things and that he thought he had
00:07:52.579 --> 00:07:55.519
no other choice and that there's this moral conundrum
00:07:55.519 --> 00:07:59.170
there. Everyone talking about this guy, the real
00:07:59.170 --> 00:08:03.490
Jeffrey, and in the movie as the nicest guy they've
00:08:03.490 --> 00:08:06.990
ever met. So idiot, savant, I don't know, but
00:08:06.990 --> 00:08:09.889
the nicest guy they've ever met. You always hear
00:08:09.889 --> 00:08:12.910
that kindness will get you further than most
00:08:12.910 --> 00:08:14.769
things, right? And then it ends up being his
00:08:14.769 --> 00:08:17.550
downfall because he could not just leave Lee
00:08:17.550 --> 00:08:21.209
and her girls without saying goodbye at the end.
00:08:22.239 --> 00:08:24.100
Again, spoilers if you haven't seen it. He does
00:08:24.100 --> 00:08:26.480
get arrested, and he's in prison. I mean, honestly,
00:08:26.920 --> 00:08:29.360
I don't know why people are watching this show
00:08:29.360 --> 00:08:31.839
at all if you haven't watched the movies we're
00:08:31.839 --> 00:08:33.159
talking about. I know. Unless you don't want
00:08:33.159 --> 00:08:34.019
to see them. I always have that little touch
00:08:34.019 --> 00:08:36.799
of hesitation where I'm like, and this is where
00:08:36.799 --> 00:08:39.120
I'm going to say something. Yeah, but let me
00:08:39.120 --> 00:08:41.360
talk about this movie from the 30 ,000 -foot
00:08:41.360 --> 00:08:44.460
view because the whole movie, it doesn't rush
00:08:44.460 --> 00:08:47.809
you. This movie is like stalking you. Slow burns,
00:08:47.990 --> 00:08:50.210
quiet rooms, moments where silence is louder
00:08:50.210 --> 00:08:53.330
than an actual dialogue itself. Have you ever
00:08:53.330 --> 00:08:56.730
sat in a room and you feel like something's about
00:08:56.730 --> 00:08:59.750
to go wrong, but you can't prove it? That's the
00:08:59.750 --> 00:09:02.070
whole movie. Oh, yeah. The whole movie, you're
00:09:02.070 --> 00:09:03.470
sitting there on the edge. Like, what's going
00:09:03.470 --> 00:09:05.590
to happen? Not a horror movie, but there were
00:09:05.590 --> 00:09:07.409
moments in the movie where I was like, oh, no,
00:09:07.450 --> 00:09:10.190
oh, no, oh, no, oh, no. And I was, I mean, almost
00:09:10.190 --> 00:09:11.750
covering my eyes because I just didn't want to
00:09:11.750 --> 00:09:14.049
see what might happen. Exactly. Break down what
00:09:14.049 --> 00:09:16.529
this guy did. in the movie and in real life because
00:09:16.529 --> 00:09:20.409
he broke into like McDonald's Burger Kings Walmart's
00:09:20.409 --> 00:09:22.409
Blockbuster you guys remember those remember
00:09:22.409 --> 00:09:26.129
Blockbuster yeah Toys R Us he was really I mean
00:09:26.129 --> 00:09:28.870
mechanically minded he had spent time in the
00:09:28.870 --> 00:09:31.409
Air Force so he you know part of the military
00:09:31.409 --> 00:09:36.360
so he was just really capable but he He observed
00:09:36.360 --> 00:09:39.759
the patterns of workers in the places that he
00:09:39.759 --> 00:09:41.820
was staking out, and then he climbed through
00:09:41.820 --> 00:09:43.320
the roof, which is why it's called Roof Man,
00:09:43.419 --> 00:09:46.120
right? He would always come down from the roof,
00:09:46.200 --> 00:09:51.860
and then he was extremely polite to the workers.
00:09:52.340 --> 00:09:55.659
You need to get your coats on. I'm going to put
00:09:55.659 --> 00:09:57.440
you in the freezer. Are you okay? Oh, you don't
00:09:57.440 --> 00:09:59.580
have a coat? He gave away his coat to one of
00:09:59.580 --> 00:10:01.740
the guys because he was like... So again, you're
00:10:01.740 --> 00:10:03.299
just seeing all this development of character.
00:10:03.299 --> 00:10:04.620
Yeah, he does that in the movie. He makes sure
00:10:04.620 --> 00:10:05.919
that everybody's comfortable. He's like, you
00:10:05.919 --> 00:10:07.080
don't have a coat? Yeah, he's like, make sure
00:10:07.080 --> 00:10:10.080
everybody... Okay, here's my coat. And the guy
00:10:10.080 --> 00:10:12.639
that's being interviewed on the news is like,
00:10:12.779 --> 00:10:14.539
he was actually really nice. He gave me his coat.
00:10:15.419 --> 00:10:18.179
So he was known for it. And he got away with
00:10:18.179 --> 00:10:21.279
it for a long time until he was caught and arrested
00:10:21.279 --> 00:10:24.860
and, of course, sent to prison for a sentence
00:10:24.860 --> 00:10:27.779
that was going to be 45 years when you added
00:10:27.779 --> 00:10:31.720
up all the months that he had accumulated. worth
00:10:31.720 --> 00:10:36.840
of damage but again you see his um knowing that
00:10:36.840 --> 00:10:38.720
this means he's not going to see his daughter
00:10:38.720 --> 00:10:41.840
that his ex -wife is saying we're cutting the
00:10:41.840 --> 00:10:43.519
cord we're not going to allow you to contact
00:10:43.519 --> 00:10:46.799
us and he's devastated i mean you feel the love
00:10:46.799 --> 00:10:49.799
he has for his family and he mostly did this
00:10:49.799 --> 00:10:52.120
for them he wasn't doing it just because he's
00:10:52.120 --> 00:10:55.889
like love robin and i love money i'm greedy It
00:10:55.889 --> 00:10:58.690
was really like, this is the only way I can think
00:10:58.690 --> 00:11:02.529
or fathom to take care of my family. Which I'm
00:11:02.529 --> 00:11:03.909
going to get a little bit into poverty culture
00:11:03.909 --> 00:11:06.830
here in a second. Deviate from the movie just
00:11:06.830 --> 00:11:11.049
a snitch. But for now, I'll stick with the facts.
00:11:11.230 --> 00:11:13.990
As a viewer at home, though, a character like
00:11:13.990 --> 00:11:17.549
a Jeffrey, played by Channing Tatum, we're watching
00:11:17.549 --> 00:11:21.850
this, and do you trust a character like this?
00:11:23.019 --> 00:11:24.860
Or do you feel like something's off the whole
00:11:24.860 --> 00:11:28.860
time, kind of knowing what's in store? I mean,
00:11:28.860 --> 00:11:33.179
how he charmed everyone just enough and gave
00:11:33.179 --> 00:11:38.139
only enough details and clearly, I mean, how
00:11:38.139 --> 00:11:40.779
he pulled this off is really incredible. There
00:11:40.779 --> 00:11:43.080
are people like this, though. And then to find
00:11:43.080 --> 00:11:46.659
out at the end, I mean, even Lee is like, I really,
00:11:46.679 --> 00:11:49.460
I was mad at you at first, but I can't really
00:11:49.460 --> 00:11:53.379
stay mad at you. You... I see it now as an adventure
00:11:53.379 --> 00:11:56.840
because we had fun. And you kind of do see it
00:11:56.840 --> 00:11:58.379
that way. You're like, I would be devastated
00:11:58.379 --> 00:12:01.080
if this guy I trusted and brought into my life
00:12:01.080 --> 00:12:03.740
and my daughter's life ended up being a criminal
00:12:03.740 --> 00:12:06.399
on the run and he's going to prison forever now.
00:12:08.340 --> 00:12:11.679
Yeah, you'd be mad. You'd be hurt. You'd be like,
00:12:11.720 --> 00:12:15.200
my trust was broken. But he was also just such
00:12:15.200 --> 00:12:19.809
a genuine guy. How long can you be mad? The fact
00:12:19.809 --> 00:12:23.409
that he's only hurting corporations. Yeah. It's
00:12:23.409 --> 00:12:25.889
almost like a Robin Hood type situation. You
00:12:25.889 --> 00:12:28.370
know, he's robbing from the rich and giving to
00:12:28.370 --> 00:12:29.610
the poor. They're not going to miss it. They're
00:12:29.610 --> 00:12:31.429
not going to miss it. But then again, he went
00:12:31.429 --> 00:12:33.129
to Toys R Us and stole a bunch of video games
00:12:33.129 --> 00:12:35.250
and sold them. And Toys R Us is out of business
00:12:35.250 --> 00:12:40.149
now. Was he the reason? I probably had some of
00:12:40.149 --> 00:12:42.149
those video games he sold. Because I used to
00:12:42.149 --> 00:12:45.399
buy mine off online, you know. aftermarket and
00:12:45.399 --> 00:12:47.480
stuff like that. But there are actually people
00:12:47.480 --> 00:12:51.700
like this in real life. We've seen people like
00:12:51.700 --> 00:12:52.980
this who can get whatever they want, really.
00:12:53.139 --> 00:12:55.960
And it's charm or something. It's attractive.
00:12:57.220 --> 00:13:00.960
It reminds me of another movie, Catch Me If You
00:13:00.960 --> 00:13:03.580
Can. Remember that one with Tom Hanks, Leo? Yeah.
00:13:04.039 --> 00:13:06.460
And again, that movie is showing the history
00:13:06.460 --> 00:13:09.620
and past of the character who turns out to be
00:13:09.620 --> 00:13:14.019
a con man. That kind of serves my point is that,
00:13:14.080 --> 00:13:16.500
yeah, we can say they did all these bad things.
00:13:16.740 --> 00:13:19.899
Obviously, these are morally or ethically wrong
00:13:19.899 --> 00:13:23.240
things to do. But it also kind of matters where
00:13:23.240 --> 00:13:26.840
the come from is. It matters where, you know,
00:13:26.840 --> 00:13:32.000
Jeffrey, as opposed to somebody who is like maliciously
00:13:32.000 --> 00:13:36.580
greedy, feels like I can do this and get away
00:13:36.580 --> 00:13:40.710
with it. No one else matters but me. His friend
00:13:40.710 --> 00:13:43.389
Steve in the movie says, you got to have a cold
00:13:43.389 --> 00:13:46.429
heart. You don't have what it takes to be a criminal.
00:13:46.509 --> 00:13:48.730
You don't have that cold hearted, cut people
00:13:48.730 --> 00:13:51.149
off, do what it takes, think of only yourself
00:13:51.149 --> 00:13:54.769
kind of way about you. And it ends up being his
00:13:54.769 --> 00:13:59.029
downfall because he couldn't just leave town.
00:13:59.190 --> 00:14:01.190
He probably could have. He probably could have
00:14:01.190 --> 00:14:03.049
made it. He would have gotten away with everything,
00:14:03.190 --> 00:14:07.470
probably, if he hadn't come back. So, I mean,
00:14:07.470 --> 00:14:11.570
there is a little bit different. a little bit
00:14:11.570 --> 00:14:13.429
different come from? Would you talk about, like,
00:14:13.470 --> 00:14:16.250
he's not malicious. Mostly he did this because
00:14:16.250 --> 00:14:18.830
he wanted to buy a bike for his daughter for
00:14:18.830 --> 00:14:20.210
his birthday, and that's where it all started
00:14:20.210 --> 00:14:24.190
in the beginning. Yeah. And we got to talk about
00:14:24.190 --> 00:14:28.049
it because the movie, you said, too, it kind
00:14:28.049 --> 00:14:30.169
of feels different. The vibe is different. It's
00:14:30.169 --> 00:14:34.129
got a different vibe, and it does. When we live
00:14:34.129 --> 00:14:36.149
in a time where everybody's trying to curate
00:14:36.149 --> 00:14:39.840
their own highlight reels these days, Roof man's
00:14:39.840 --> 00:14:43.620
like, nah, let's roll the security footage instead,
00:14:43.779 --> 00:14:46.440
the uncut version, the one you don't post. And
00:14:46.440 --> 00:14:48.600
that's what we're watching in this movie. And
00:14:48.600 --> 00:14:51.440
there's a certain kind of movie where you can
00:14:51.440 --> 00:14:55.799
almost smell something bad's about to come, like
00:14:55.799 --> 00:14:58.919
burnt toast. Yeah. And this movie just kind of
00:14:58.919 --> 00:15:02.360
marinates in that smell the whole time. Yeah.
00:15:02.419 --> 00:15:05.620
What do you think? Almost even, I mean, in addition
00:15:05.620 --> 00:15:07.919
to that, it's not just, oh, something bad. It's
00:15:07.919 --> 00:15:10.850
like. When is this all going to fall apart for
00:15:10.850 --> 00:15:14.210
him? He can't keep this up. This is going to
00:15:14.210 --> 00:15:16.870
fall apart. We know that he's going to be arrested
00:15:16.870 --> 00:15:20.750
at some point. So you're just kind of waiting
00:15:20.750 --> 00:15:23.269
for that. Like, what's going to be the thing
00:15:23.269 --> 00:15:26.330
that makes this all crumble on top of him? He
00:15:26.330 --> 00:15:29.570
gets caught. Peter Dinklage playing the boss.
00:15:30.830 --> 00:15:34.090
Can I just say for a second how much I love Peter
00:15:34.090 --> 00:15:36.590
Dinklage? Aside from Game of Thrones, which...
00:15:37.000 --> 00:15:40.120
Freaks, no, is one of my favorite, or if not
00:15:40.120 --> 00:15:44.539
the favorite, my favorite movie show. But Peter
00:15:44.539 --> 00:15:50.000
Dinklage, I just love that man so much. He's
00:15:50.000 --> 00:15:52.799
so fantastic in everything that he does. And
00:15:52.799 --> 00:15:58.299
he's kind of the jerk boss, right? And gets caught,
00:15:58.500 --> 00:16:02.000
comes in one night late, I guess, you know, to...
00:16:02.360 --> 00:16:05.340
As bosses and managers of Toys R Us may happen
00:16:05.340 --> 00:16:08.360
to do, they're like, I got to go into the store
00:16:08.360 --> 00:16:10.080
and grab something out of my office or something.
00:16:10.220 --> 00:16:15.399
And Jeffrey is naked because he's been bathing
00:16:15.399 --> 00:16:18.720
in the bathroom, has all of his stuff out drying
00:16:18.720 --> 00:16:21.840
in the middle of the store, so almost gets caught
00:16:21.840 --> 00:16:25.179
and ends up still hiding in his hiding spot for
00:16:25.179 --> 00:16:29.240
a few more weeks. Yeah. And there's this incident
00:16:29.240 --> 00:16:31.929
of the naked man in the Toys R Us. I don't know
00:16:31.929 --> 00:16:34.450
it's related to the guy who escaped from jail.
00:16:34.870 --> 00:16:36.730
I wonder how many people are living in a store
00:16:36.730 --> 00:16:39.429
right now and we don't have a clue. Oh, you know
00:16:39.429 --> 00:16:41.269
what I want to watch next? Is that documentary
00:16:41.269 --> 00:16:43.110
of the kids who lived in a mall? Oh, yeah, yeah,
00:16:43.149 --> 00:16:44.710
yeah, yeah. Yeah, we're going to have to put
00:16:44.710 --> 00:16:46.309
that on the list, too. That just reminded me
00:16:46.309 --> 00:16:47.769
of that. Let me ask you something for real, though,
00:16:47.789 --> 00:16:52.730
because this is like a philosophical type question,
00:16:52.809 --> 00:16:57.750
but for the freaks out there as well. How many
00:16:57.750 --> 00:17:01.539
people... are one bad day away from becoming
00:17:01.539 --> 00:17:04.519
somebody else entirely. Kind of like how he was.
00:17:04.619 --> 00:17:06.740
Or just the opposite of that. How many are one
00:17:06.740 --> 00:17:09.819
good decision away from changing everything?
00:17:10.240 --> 00:17:12.220
But we don't ever know that. We don't ever really
00:17:12.220 --> 00:17:15.039
know what's on that other... Like, when we look
00:17:15.039 --> 00:17:19.920
at people maybe that are unhoused or in a clinic
00:17:19.920 --> 00:17:22.980
in rehabilitation for addiction, we, some of
00:17:22.980 --> 00:17:26.940
us, have been through that. But others of us...
00:17:27.579 --> 00:17:31.720
look at that and go oh poor them and oh they're
00:17:31.720 --> 00:17:35.599
them and i'm me and i'll never be them that kind
00:17:35.599 --> 00:17:38.799
of like even subconsciously in our head we're
00:17:38.799 --> 00:17:41.640
like oh i would never do that i would never be
00:17:41.640 --> 00:17:43.619
in that position i would never put myself there
00:17:43.619 --> 00:17:46.420
yeah and we don't realize how close we are from
00:17:46.420 --> 00:17:49.039
being in that position from addiction taking
00:17:49.039 --> 00:17:52.480
hold of us and from um something in our life
00:17:52.480 --> 00:17:54.859
shifting that's out of our control yeah that
00:17:54.859 --> 00:17:57.940
makes us um Now without a home, without somewhere
00:17:57.940 --> 00:18:02.460
to live. We like to other people instead of,
00:18:02.480 --> 00:18:05.099
and this is kind of, again, like going back to
00:18:05.099 --> 00:18:08.799
the moral and ethical side of Roofman, of Jeffrey,
00:18:08.960 --> 00:18:12.400
of what he did. I just want to point out that
00:18:12.400 --> 00:18:15.660
while we can look at Jeffrey and say, I mean,
00:18:15.680 --> 00:18:18.799
all you had to do was go get a job and make money
00:18:18.799 --> 00:18:23.400
using those powerful skills you had. In the beginning,
00:18:23.420 --> 00:18:24.940
his friend Steve basically points it out and
00:18:24.940 --> 00:18:27.730
says, You have a superpower, man. You have a
00:18:27.730 --> 00:18:29.509
weight of looking at the world that nobody else
00:18:29.509 --> 00:18:33.849
does. Use that. I don't know. I don't think he
00:18:33.849 --> 00:18:35.690
was pushing him to a life of crime. I think that's
00:18:35.690 --> 00:18:38.809
where he went with it. But we like to judge that.
00:18:38.869 --> 00:18:40.869
We like to say, I would never. But that's what
00:18:40.869 --> 00:18:44.420
I'm saying. That one decision. Yeah. But what
00:18:44.420 --> 00:18:47.079
if, and this is where I want to go back to, in
00:18:47.079 --> 00:18:50.079
studying in school, or actually when I was a
00:18:50.079 --> 00:18:52.519
teacher and I worked in a very low -income area
00:18:52.519 --> 00:18:55.400
where a lot of transient students, immigrants
00:18:55.400 --> 00:18:58.740
coming in and out of the country, and also people
00:18:58.740 --> 00:19:01.980
who came from generational poverty were my students.
00:19:02.420 --> 00:19:05.319
And we were required to read a framework for
00:19:05.319 --> 00:19:08.720
understanding poverty by Ruby K. Payne, PhD.
00:19:09.240 --> 00:19:11.920
I'm bringing this up because... I want to highlight
00:19:11.920 --> 00:19:15.599
that in the beginning of this movie, the effort
00:19:15.599 --> 00:19:19.660
to say, okay, I have these skills. I could go
00:19:19.660 --> 00:19:23.299
make money with them. Or I could use these skills
00:19:23.299 --> 00:19:27.299
and rob a Burger King and get that money. We
00:19:27.299 --> 00:19:30.680
can judge that and say, there's a lot of us that
00:19:30.680 --> 00:19:32.279
would judge that and say, well, that was wrong.
00:19:32.339 --> 00:19:33.720
Like, that was stupid. Why would you do that?
00:19:33.819 --> 00:19:35.779
Why won't you just make your money the right
00:19:35.779 --> 00:19:39.380
way? Whatever. Truthfully. You have to understand
00:19:39.380 --> 00:19:43.579
that generational poverty creates a culture of
00:19:43.579 --> 00:19:47.460
poverty in which people don't see any other way.
00:19:48.359 --> 00:19:50.859
Like, we can say we can see another way, but
00:19:50.859 --> 00:19:53.299
that may be because we were raised in a household
00:19:53.299 --> 00:19:55.880
that made money honestly. Exactly. Or had access
00:19:55.880 --> 00:19:58.240
to education or had access to health care or
00:19:58.240 --> 00:20:00.880
had access to any one of any many privileges.
00:20:01.059 --> 00:20:03.279
Any resource that you don't have is something
00:20:03.279 --> 00:20:06.369
that. Yeah. It's our neural pathways limiting
00:20:06.369 --> 00:20:09.589
us to what we can do to solve a problem or make
00:20:09.589 --> 00:20:13.049
a need possible for us to be fulfilled. And so
00:20:13.049 --> 00:20:16.170
I want people to just be aware of that in watching
00:20:16.170 --> 00:20:19.289
this movie, that that's what I pulled out of
00:20:19.289 --> 00:20:22.049
that story was, gosh, you know, we can judge
00:20:22.049 --> 00:20:23.589
people all we want, but we don't know what their
00:20:23.589 --> 00:20:25.210
life is like, and we don't know the way their
00:20:25.210 --> 00:20:28.390
brain thinks, and we don't know how they've been
00:20:28.390 --> 00:20:30.849
raised or what they're used to. It's the same
00:20:30.849 --> 00:20:34.269
thing as you can see a driver on the road. and
00:20:34.269 --> 00:20:37.630
they make a mistake, and you're like, you stupid
00:20:37.630 --> 00:20:40.150
idiot, why did you make that mistake? What if
00:20:40.150 --> 00:20:43.150
in that car, they're just learning to drive and
00:20:43.150 --> 00:20:45.309
they've never seen a roundabout before in their
00:20:45.309 --> 00:20:47.390
life? Exactly. So they're like, whoa, what's
00:20:47.390 --> 00:20:49.650
going on? Oh, I don't know. Oh, oh, whoops. And
00:20:49.650 --> 00:20:52.849
they're trying to figure it out. You just judged
00:20:52.849 --> 00:20:55.009
them for making a mistake, but they've never
00:20:55.009 --> 00:20:58.829
been in that position before, and you're acting
00:20:58.829 --> 00:21:00.730
like you're superior to them because you know
00:21:00.730 --> 00:21:03.009
what to do in that situation. You don't know
00:21:03.009 --> 00:21:05.390
somebody's story. Right. That's what it boils
00:21:05.390 --> 00:21:09.789
down to. Generationally, ancestrally, everything.
00:21:09.930 --> 00:21:12.829
Unless you believe in simulation theory, everybody
00:21:12.829 --> 00:21:15.750
is the main character in their own life. You've
00:21:15.750 --> 00:21:17.329
got to think about that. They've got their own
00:21:17.329 --> 00:21:21.009
set of problems just like you do. Yeah. So that
00:21:21.009 --> 00:21:23.109
person driving that car, that's crazy to me when
00:21:23.109 --> 00:21:24.690
you think about it like that. But then again,
00:21:24.789 --> 00:21:27.789
I do believe in simulation theory. So we'll get
00:21:27.789 --> 00:21:29.349
to that. That's going to be a whole other conversation
00:21:29.349 --> 00:21:31.930
for us one day. We could get experiences. I was
00:21:31.930 --> 00:21:33.490
probably walking around Hollywood Boulevard and
00:21:33.490 --> 00:21:37.390
I was just like, bro, just make one good choice.
00:21:37.730 --> 00:21:40.970
Just one. I'm not asking for a full life overhaul.
00:21:41.009 --> 00:21:43.569
Just a silent Tuesday. Like, that's what I was
00:21:43.569 --> 00:21:45.369
looking for every once in a while. Yeah. But
00:21:45.369 --> 00:21:47.329
no, we don't get that. We don't get that, though.
00:21:47.450 --> 00:21:49.250
You know, you don't really get that opportunity
00:21:49.250 --> 00:21:52.390
to do that in the moment. I think that the biggest
00:21:52.390 --> 00:21:56.230
villain of this movie is loneliness. Does not
00:21:56.230 --> 00:21:58.490
announce itself. It just sits there like an empty
00:21:58.490 --> 00:22:01.599
chair. That nobody talks about. And I think that
00:22:01.599 --> 00:22:05.359
that is the big villain arc here. Really, because
00:22:05.359 --> 00:22:07.900
the genuine connection that Jeffrey is looking
00:22:07.900 --> 00:22:10.960
for when he goes to church. I don't think he
00:22:10.960 --> 00:22:12.740
goes to church. I mean, obviously, I think he
00:22:12.740 --> 00:22:14.480
has a crush on the girl who works at Toys R Us.
00:22:14.480 --> 00:22:16.480
So he's going to where her church is, right?
00:22:16.880 --> 00:22:19.640
Wants to kind of impress her, maybe. But I don't
00:22:19.640 --> 00:22:23.029
know if that was his initial motivation. No,
00:22:23.029 --> 00:22:24.289
I don't think so. I think when he started going
00:22:24.289 --> 00:22:26.809
to church and he was like, oh, these people don't
00:22:26.809 --> 00:22:29.130
recognize me. This might be okay. I might be
00:22:29.130 --> 00:22:31.990
able to, like, stay here. And he starts, you
00:22:31.990 --> 00:22:34.369
know, being real charming and he goes to the
00:22:34.369 --> 00:22:37.450
singles thing and it's all women. I loved that
00:22:37.450 --> 00:22:39.289
scene. Yeah. But then he starts flirting with
00:22:39.289 --> 00:22:41.549
everybody. He's like, I'm so lucky I get to hang
00:22:41.549 --> 00:22:43.789
out with all you beautiful ladies and I'm looking
00:22:43.789 --> 00:22:46.750
for the second Mrs. Whatever his made -up last
00:22:46.750 --> 00:22:49.809
name was. He's so charming and so lovely and
00:22:49.809 --> 00:22:53.259
you genuinely think he's not. I don't think he's
00:22:53.259 --> 00:22:55.519
being charming just to get away with something.
00:22:55.720 --> 00:22:58.339
It's genuine. He was lonely. Yeah. And I think
00:22:58.339 --> 00:23:01.180
when he kind of integrates himself into Lee's
00:23:01.180 --> 00:23:04.039
family with her girls, he misses his kids. He
00:23:04.039 --> 00:23:07.380
can't see them anymore. He's not allowed in prison
00:23:07.380 --> 00:23:10.740
or on the run. He can't contact them. And he's
00:23:10.740 --> 00:23:13.160
lonely. So I think you're right. I think that's
00:23:13.160 --> 00:23:17.180
the underlying theme going on. What's your final
00:23:17.180 --> 00:23:24.240
thoughts on the roof man? Kind and understanding
00:23:24.240 --> 00:23:26.779
to people, even if you don't understand why they
00:23:26.779 --> 00:23:29.240
do the things they do. Or you can completely
00:23:29.240 --> 00:23:32.359
disagree with the things they do and say that
00:23:32.359 --> 00:23:36.900
was wrong, point blank, just final stand. Wrong
00:23:36.900 --> 00:23:41.339
is wrong. But as a person, not every situation
00:23:41.339 --> 00:23:43.559
is exactly the same. The same person committing
00:23:43.559 --> 00:23:46.000
those crimes, you know, might have had really
00:23:46.000 --> 00:23:48.599
a very different story that is malicious and
00:23:48.599 --> 00:23:51.559
evil. And Jeffrey's story, not so much. Yeah.
00:23:52.720 --> 00:23:56.240
I like this. I really like this movie. It's on
00:23:56.240 --> 00:23:58.519
a couple different streaming services, I noticed.
00:23:59.160 --> 00:24:00.819
Which one did you check it out on? I think I
00:24:00.819 --> 00:24:03.059
watched it on Peacock or Paramount. I watched
00:24:03.059 --> 00:24:05.299
it on Paramount. I don't even remember, actually.
00:24:05.400 --> 00:24:08.220
Or Prime, Amazon. We're naming them all. I think
00:24:08.220 --> 00:24:11.900
it was Prime. Wherever you can stream it, go
00:24:11.900 --> 00:24:14.599
watch this movie. And I'm going to tell you,
00:24:14.599 --> 00:24:16.079
I'm going to warn you, if you're going to watch
00:24:16.079 --> 00:24:18.559
it, you're either going to love it or you're
00:24:18.559 --> 00:24:22.319
going to be like, bling, Coco. Why don't you
00:24:22.319 --> 00:24:26.839
make me watch emotional anxiety for two hours?
00:24:26.900 --> 00:24:29.299
There's no middle ground in this movie, really.
00:24:29.640 --> 00:24:32.460
Yeah, but it's really real. And, I mean, Kirsten
00:24:32.460 --> 00:24:37.200
Dunst in her prime, you know, she's done so many
00:24:37.200 --> 00:24:42.940
amazing things. And I love her for being, I think
00:24:42.940 --> 00:24:46.980
she's a little older than me, but she shows her
00:24:46.980 --> 00:24:53.259
natural self. I don't want to say aging because,
00:24:53.339 --> 00:24:55.700
like, aren't we all? Yes. I don't want there
00:24:55.700 --> 00:24:57.839
to be a stigma about, like, oh, good for her.
00:24:57.900 --> 00:24:59.839
She's older and she's still working in Hollywood.
00:25:00.019 --> 00:25:04.420
Meh. No, of course she is. But I love that she
00:25:04.420 --> 00:25:07.220
showed, like, this is a single mom living in
00:25:07.220 --> 00:25:09.940
an apartment, working at Toys R Us. This is what
00:25:09.940 --> 00:25:12.359
that would be like. This is this person, this
00:25:12.359 --> 00:25:15.839
character, fully and raw and everything that
00:25:15.839 --> 00:25:20.339
she is. Love that. Incredible movie. The Roof
00:25:20.339 --> 00:25:24.009
Man. I will tell you, I was a little, little
00:25:24.009 --> 00:25:26.470
disappointed. Because I didn't look at what this
00:25:26.470 --> 00:25:28.869
movie was about. And I didn't watch the trailer.
00:25:29.069 --> 00:25:30.809
So I see the roof man, and I'm thinking, oh,
00:25:30.849 --> 00:25:34.269
I'm about to see a superhero movie where I don't
00:25:34.269 --> 00:25:35.609
know what was going to happen. I don't know how
00:25:35.609 --> 00:25:38.210
you turn into the roof man, some nuclear roof
00:25:38.210 --> 00:25:41.069
reactor or something. Maybe he is. But this movie
00:25:41.069 --> 00:25:43.289
is incredible. On a deeper level, he's a superhero.
00:25:44.430 --> 00:25:47.920
Do you know that today is Friday? Yep. So before
00:25:47.920 --> 00:25:49.880
we get out of here, I think we got to do Freaky
00:25:49.880 --> 00:25:52.980
Friday. Oh, yeah. And we got to tell the freaks
00:25:52.980 --> 00:25:54.160
out there, we got to go through some of their
00:25:54.160 --> 00:25:56.480
comments. Okay. And I got one right here. Lay
00:25:56.480 --> 00:25:58.279
it on me. I got one right here. And this was
00:25:58.279 --> 00:26:03.279
about Robin Williams toys. You got the DVD now.
00:26:03.440 --> 00:26:05.039
I got it now. We're watching it on Sunday. You
00:26:05.039 --> 00:26:08.160
guys got to go check out that episode. That one
00:26:08.160 --> 00:26:15.150
got us a lot of hits. At Crypto Spool. Sporodium138
00:26:15.150 --> 00:26:17.950
says, they had VR in the late 90s. The rigs cost
00:26:17.950 --> 00:26:20.509
thousands of dollars. There was a cyber cafe
00:26:20.509 --> 00:26:23.309
in my local mall that had two of them. You could
00:26:23.309 --> 00:26:25.750
rent them. This was ahead of its time. Because
00:26:25.750 --> 00:26:27.430
we were talking about VR and how they had it
00:26:27.430 --> 00:26:28.970
in the movie. And you know what? I did start
00:26:28.970 --> 00:26:31.309
thinking about it. Nintendo had a Virtual Boy
00:26:31.309 --> 00:26:34.829
VR, this big giant. They did have one back in
00:26:34.829 --> 00:26:38.369
the 90s, somewhere in there. So it was sure it
00:26:38.369 --> 00:26:40.450
was ahead of its time. I haven't tried it yet.
00:26:40.650 --> 00:26:44.019
I've never tried VR. Oh, my God. I had a crazy
00:26:44.019 --> 00:26:46.900
job. Should we have me try it and we'll just
00:26:46.900 --> 00:26:49.660
film that? I worked for Meta. And I was working
00:26:49.660 --> 00:26:53.279
on that now failed, defunct project, the Metaverse.
00:26:53.420 --> 00:26:55.779
I was in there. And that's what I did every day.
00:26:55.839 --> 00:26:58.599
I was working in some prototype gear. And that
00:26:58.599 --> 00:27:02.700
VR, it's insane. Did it stick up your nose? No,
00:27:02.720 --> 00:27:05.900
no, no. Not this one. Those who watch toys will
00:27:05.900 --> 00:27:07.319
know what I'm talking about. Yeah, no, not this
00:27:07.319 --> 00:27:12.970
one. We didn't put it up our nose. Okay. Lil
00:27:12.970 --> 00:27:17.589
Ruby, 16, says, and this was about our physical
00:27:17.589 --> 00:27:19.690
media versus Mandela effect, Fruit of the Loom
00:27:19.690 --> 00:27:23.230
changed name to get away from law suing for damages
00:27:23.230 --> 00:27:26.890
and such and removed the horn from their logo.
00:27:27.329 --> 00:27:28.730
Yeah, but there's a lot of people that claim
00:27:28.730 --> 00:27:29.750
it wasn't there at all. I don't think it was
00:27:29.750 --> 00:27:32.750
ever there. I don't think that's a Mandela effect.
00:27:34.349 --> 00:27:36.450
So we're going to have to look into that. If
00:27:36.450 --> 00:27:38.750
you haven't noticed the Fruit of the Loom logo.
00:27:39.480 --> 00:27:41.180
Go look into that and go down that rabbit hole.
00:27:41.180 --> 00:27:43.220
I mean, I do feel like maybe something else in
00:27:43.220 --> 00:27:45.619
the same time period did have a cornucopia thing.
00:27:46.059 --> 00:27:49.420
But I think we're, in our brains, putting them
00:27:49.420 --> 00:27:52.880
together. It's got to be something. It's got
00:27:52.880 --> 00:27:55.579
to be something. I saw a weird Mandela effect
00:27:55.579 --> 00:27:59.819
video. Brandon just came out this week. And it
00:27:59.819 --> 00:28:02.940
was about Nostradamus. Remember Nostradamus?
00:28:03.079 --> 00:28:05.539
We heard about Nostradamus all our lives growing
00:28:05.539 --> 00:28:08.960
up. Yeah. And there was always a term. That the
00:28:08.960 --> 00:28:11.019
tabloids or whatever was writing about. There
00:28:11.019 --> 00:28:13.400
was always a word that went... Right. What was
00:28:13.400 --> 00:28:19.779
that word? Exactly. You don't know. And you can
00:28:19.779 --> 00:28:22.160
come up with any word. You can come up with any
00:28:22.160 --> 00:28:25.119
name right now, any word, predictor, prognosticator,
00:28:25.180 --> 00:28:26.980
all these things, and it's not going to scratch
00:28:26.980 --> 00:28:30.599
that itch that there's a word missing. You ruined
00:28:30.599 --> 00:28:36.160
my day. There's a word missing. Nostradamus prophecy?
00:28:38.140 --> 00:28:41.539
Does it scratch the itch? See? You tell me. You
00:28:41.539 --> 00:28:43.779
tell me. Go look into that one. Tell me. Somebody
00:28:43.779 --> 00:28:47.680
millennial age, let's just say, because we heard
00:28:47.680 --> 00:28:50.019
about it in the 90s. Yeah, it was always on the
00:28:50.019 --> 00:28:51.720
tablets. Everywhere. And there's a word that
00:28:51.720 --> 00:28:53.200
went with it. It'd be like a volcano eruption,
00:28:53.359 --> 00:28:55.640
and they'd be like, Nostradamus predicted. But
00:28:55.640 --> 00:28:58.519
it was something, Nostradamus. There was a word
00:28:58.519 --> 00:29:00.420
that went with it. And I'm telling you, come
00:29:00.420 --> 00:29:02.019
up with any word right now, and it's not going
00:29:02.019 --> 00:29:04.720
to scratch the itch of what that word actually
00:29:04.720 --> 00:29:07.160
was. Interesting. Crazy, right? Got your mind
00:29:07.160 --> 00:29:10.410
broken. I will pretend to listen to what you're
00:29:10.410 --> 00:29:12.490
saying next while I'm thinking about that. Yeah.
00:29:12.730 --> 00:29:14.470
You're going to love this one. This was on the
00:29:14.470 --> 00:29:19.349
F1 versus NASCAR. Yep. She told the truth. NASCAR
00:29:19.349 --> 00:29:22.609
does not, does in fact not live up to IndyCar.
00:29:23.069 --> 00:29:26.230
Aww. And that is... Someone agreed with me? At
00:29:26.230 --> 00:29:28.890
the local seat. Listen, I got nothing against
00:29:28.890 --> 00:29:31.269
NASCAR. And I love the people who love NASCAR.
00:29:31.569 --> 00:29:33.890
It's all fine. I mean, opinions are just opinions,
00:29:33.990 --> 00:29:37.160
right? Like, who cares? But... It's just not
00:29:37.160 --> 00:29:40.720
for me. Yeah. You got people agreeing. In my
00:29:40.720 --> 00:29:43.140
view, in my very limited view, and my husband
00:29:43.140 --> 00:29:44.440
would disagree with me probably because he's
00:29:44.440 --> 00:29:47.299
a car guy. But I'm like, they're just cars. Just
00:29:47.299 --> 00:29:52.359
cars. Just cars. Indy cars are like race cars.
00:29:53.519 --> 00:29:56.599
They're like rocket ships with fins on the back.
00:29:56.700 --> 00:29:59.619
And then NASCAR is just like. Drive fast and
00:29:59.619 --> 00:30:01.839
turn left is what they say. They say drive fast
00:30:01.839 --> 00:30:03.420
and turn left. That's all you do in NASCAR. I
00:30:03.420 --> 00:30:05.380
know that's not all it is, you guys. Don't come
00:30:05.380 --> 00:30:08.200
at me. I get that I'm being ignorant here. I
00:30:08.200 --> 00:30:09.579
get it. I thought they would come at you harder
00:30:09.579 --> 00:30:11.880
than this, but they've been siding with you at
00:30:11.880 --> 00:30:13.940
this point. So if there's NASCAR people out there,
00:30:14.000 --> 00:30:18.859
argue this. We need to hear it. And if somebody
00:30:18.859 --> 00:30:22.700
can give us that word for what Nostradamus. I'm
00:30:22.700 --> 00:30:25.720
telling you, you can't. I feel like it starts
00:30:25.720 --> 00:30:27.460
with a P, and then I feel like it starts with
00:30:27.460 --> 00:30:30.099
something. You go all over the place, but you
00:30:30.099 --> 00:30:32.500
can't piece it together in your head, right?
00:30:33.690 --> 00:30:38.369
Work cool. Doesn't work. Not it. This is Parallel
00:30:38.369 --> 00:30:40.210
Frequencies. I'm just playing. This is Coco.
00:30:40.329 --> 00:30:42.309
You are the freaks. And we will see you on the
00:30:42.309 --> 00:30:42.730
other side.
