Ideas from everywhere, voices from Nowhere, since 2001. This is Josh, this is Nick, and welcome to Nowhere, California. God, it has been a minute now. It has been a minute for you lately.
It's been last episodes. It's been some video games, episodes with Doug. My quarantine, in other parts and stations. Nasty.
I've had my little quarantine bit too. We'll dive in that in a moment. It's the New Year, finally getting you back behind Mike. Yeah, it's good to be back.
I've had my own traumas and stuff that have been going on this year. I think it's been about, I'd say, three weeks now since I posted my quarantine attempt at entertaining myself at the behest of our listeners. You know what? It's true.
Let's dive into your brush with COVID. I guess that would be the best way to dub it. We're talking about, because I turned 45 and I feel so old now. That's therapy session for you.
Yeah. Yeah. COVID. No talking about great people.
Okay. COVID. Yeah, that's the important thing in the world right now. We've been kind of, we've been matching, staying at the house, all the stuff, and all of a sudden I get called while I'm at work.
From my ex who says, hey, I tested positive for COVID. Ellie was with me on Monday. Ellie's my daughter. And so there was an overlap there.
I immediately had to go home, had to stay at home. And how did you go to your bosses on that? Well, okay. So at the time we were set up working in, which is called a multi-purpose room, basically a gym or gymnasium or your cafeteria for anybody who works in school districts or remembers, you know, a high school in junior.
Yeah. So we were pretty spread out at that point anyways. I hadn't had direct contact with anybody, so I just called my boss and said, hey, I just got a very disturbing phone call about this. Here's what's going on.
Yeah, I'll be breathing. And they said, they said, well, okay, so they kept referring to it as indirect contact. And I said, how is it indirect contact? If my daughter was next to her, my daughter sleeps with me, and they kept saying things like, well, then your daughter needs a quarantine.
Well, she's five. What do you mean? Here's a case of beer and pork rinds, kids. Watch the TV.
Here's a paddle ball. I'll be back later. So they finally like granted everything and said, okay, go stay home with your kid for the 14 days or until you come back with a negative result. So we had to set up to the county here in California.
We went through San Bernardino County, went over to the Cabelli College, and they just did the gentle swab. We did the, we did the, I picked back on the two and they were on the ball the way. We had a result the next day. Yeah, we had ours within a couple of days just because there was a pretty sizable number of people still going.
Yeah. So they, they had to pull in the parking car and you sit and they wait until somebody says, okay, your group can come in. And there's maybe 15 of us that go in and stay six feet apart, go and do the swab and all that stuff. So the one that we did was like a very, very thin, you have to get a Q-tip, but it's super thin and you just take it and put it maybe an inch and a half into your nostril and just swirl around on each side.
Most I did was sneeze. The alternative was the one where they put their boot on your head and shove a Q-tip through the back of your skull and swab somebody else's nose. I had to have Kim help me with mine because my hands are getting real shaky. Did you have to do the deeper?
No. Oh, okay. Well, I have a long history with like my nose is very, I wouldn't say sensitive but just like as soon as they showed what we needed to do, I was like, no, I'm not a brain tucker but still my brain's like, no, fuck that. That's my cocaine.
I don't want to up there. Yeah. So it was, if an ain't a book, you should have got one with, but he doesn't do coke folks. I'm sorry.
That's a whole different, if I can't talk about my group, you can't talk about your method. Okay. No story. No, no, no.
But it's really is. I got my results back pretty quick and I guess there's three out there right now. The one that's minimally invasive inside the nostril, the other one where they scrape brain matter and then rub it on the back of your throat just for good measure. I've heard the sub reports that there's an anal test now.
Oh, Jesus, I feel like that's good. Of course there is. Of course there is. Why wouldn't there be?
Luckily, they didn't say anything. They're like 100%. That's the pure cells you could find if you really want to know. No thanks.
I'll just split in this little cup. Yeah, I'll wait because that's the third one is they also have the little spit test now where they take us a lot of sample. I guess it's not as reliable, but see they'd encourage us to wait until the end of the week anyway because then there was no chance of it throwing a false positive or false negative. Because if you do it within the first couple of days of contracting, there is a potential that will show up negative or the whole show up negative and you actually will, you know, a couple of days later test positive.
So we waited out, did our test and got our results back pretty quick. Yeah, like kind of your phone call your boss. I had to do that when I got my positive results. I got the results and I was thinking like, do I go out of my room or I was like, call the house phone.
My mom answered and I was like, if you can't tell I'm talking to you on the phone while I'm still inside the house. I have my results. She was like, you should go shit. But she was like, okay.
Bad, no, that's here we go. Yeah, but I think that's about it on. It is. You know, again, the second little brush, but luckily that was spot with it.
Yeah, it was pretty, they've been sending us notifications right off the bat. The organization that I work for has been very good about if you have any kind of contact to let you know right off the bat. Oh, yeah. We get texts at my organization.
And, you know, we have run into a few that have abused the leave. Yeah. Oh, I think I have it. And so they'll take the 14 days off paid and now they're starting to eliminate that.
Yeah. So, you know, it's. Well, it's like that me and my software guy talking about, yeah, I was in charge of temperature check that worked today. Go locked up.
I scanned her before I can tell the temperature is like, I'm a hundred degrees. I'll come. I'll go home. Wow.
That's pretty good because we've had people who have called our organization and said, hi, listen, I've done the test. I don't have my results back yet. I'm running a low grade fever and I have a little bit of a running nose and sore throat, but I feel okay. Should I still keep my appointment?
No. Go home. Stay home. I don't care.
Just stay home. So, you know, I think more than anything else, it's just this whole pandemic is really, really highlighted how stupid people can make. That's another day of the time. Absolutely.
Just, you know, like we've been saying it from day one, people mask up, please. Yeah. Listen to my quarantine episode. I do a little raging against that.
Yeah. That mask is at one point I told them to take a long hard look in the mirror and then slam their head into the mirror several times. You know, we had a local group that decided to march on your organization over in Apple Valley. Yeah.
I was like, come to mind. Yeah. And that was, to me, I was like, okay, there are certain counties within the state of California that feel like they are not going to enforce laws or anything that states that they have to have the masks up. Otherwise, they'd be doing that constantly.
So, I was like, yeah, but it's still trespassing. No shirt, no shoes. They include a mask on that. No service.
Yeah. It's not a lot to come in. Yeah, you were not allowed to come in. So, I really hope that they would have shared presence on hand.
They did. And for what it sounded like it was just, there's like a couple people that showed up and were basically intimidated to not do it. We've dealt with that particular person at my organization. Yeah.
And she is, she just wants people to like Sister of the Pot. It's very much like that meme that I posted. That's all they are. What anti-masters think they look like, you know, and it's Mel Gibson running with the American flag and the Patriot.
Yeah. Yeah. It's pretty mask on. It's not that hard.
You can take it off and get back in the car. Yeah. And if it's that hard, then don't leave your house. So, you can door dash.
You can have insta cart. You can do whatever and have it delivered. I utilized all the fast food apps during my time. Jeff Bezos, I mean, I offered a drop stuff off on the doorstep too, but it was like Jeff Bezos made so much more money here because of Amazon.
Oh, yeah. But not for that. That's definitely not that. Let's get back to the good stuff.
And as we alluded to my quarantine episode, it was half quarantine and then half of my favorite movies of 2020. And there was one movie I was, I've been dying to talk to you about for the longest time. And we finally can. We're talking about Bill and Ted.
They said music. I just handed off Nick is belated Christmas birthday Grandma's day presents. Yep. It's my Rufus pen that is proudly displayed on my BX line to each other.
As soon as I saw this been online, I knew I had to have but also to this site where I got it from has a lot of, I guess, pun intended excellent Bill and Ted merch. They do. They actually have quite a few pop culture. What is going on?
I mean, I mean, there's stuff that they do have some amazing Bill and Ted pens, toys, posters, shirts, all kinds of stuff. And it's in syndium.com. It's I-N-C-E-N-D-I-U-M. And what I should have said is it's not.com.
It's in syndium.online. I know it's kind of a new thing. So again, it's I-N-C-E-N-D-I-U-M.online. And they have everything from heavy metal, Joe Satryani, guitar player.
I mean, it's a lot of pop culture stuff. The Bill and Ted stuff, they have both action figures from excellent adventure as well as focused journey. They have a phone booth. They have Rufus.
I mean, there's a ton of stuff that's in there. When I first came across the site, it was a random thing. I've been buying a lot of random ads on Facebook. Like, when you get a chance to talk about loved, again, media.com, that's going to be a whole lot of interesting.
I'm looking forward to that. And I will be jumping in on that as well. So hopefully I'll have my own input. And then also to have you seen the pizza cupcakes?
Oh, COVID. But these are some interesting fat foods. These look damn good. Okay, so is it a cupcake that tastes like a pizza?
Or is it a pizza that's covered in cupcakes? I mean, it's like a... I really don't know how to describe it, honestly. It's like a little small pizza with all the stuff in it.
We'll have to just go up the video off, Mike. And you'll probably be like, I'm never going to lose late. So stay tuned for our interesting finds online during the time of COVID. But in some other food in the time.
What's the sort of it? And as soon as I saw the Rufus, I was like, can't have too many carlin' things. No, and like on the back of this one, they have said A is Bell and Ted themselves said B are the princesses. Then there's Rufus.
The wild stallings logo and then the phone booth. And that mean they're high quality, they're amazing. And I'm really happy about that. Then to go from high quality, amazing to high quality, amazing, we're going to discuss facing music.
And before we even dive into this, maybe I'm going to flat out say that, honestly, the Bell and Ted saga is a perfect trilogy. I wasn't sure how they were going to manage to tie this all up and make it cohesive. But holy crap, did they ever? They did.
It was fantastic. It was just something that I was... Well, they've been alluding to it for years. Yeah, and by the time you get to the end of it, it is just so touching and such a unifying film.
Oh, and it was pretty cool. But I was really sad. Yeah, I was really sad. It didn't get a theatrical release.
But it was a perfect release because of the bullshit that was last year. Yes. I would have been with them. Kind of to dive into what led into the movie for years.
Ops winners and Keanu Reeves and the producers have been kind of toying with the idea of a third movie. But just one reason or another, it just kind of never happened. And then all of a sudden we get the video of Alex and Keanu at the Hollywood Bullet. I remember correctly.
Yes, it was. And then like, where'd it go? We're doing this. Yep.
It was so basically, what started out as a sketch comedy thing between two guys, Chris Matheson and Solomon. And I believe we'd said that there was a third person involved. But the people who came on. The intellectual property of Bill and Ted from the gig over the writers Chris Matheson and Ed Solomon.
And they've written all three films. And they got together with guys. And they said the only way we'd come back and do this is if we could find an interesting story. And so basically this is an ops.
So this is 25 years later. They still haven't written a song that was going to unite the planet. And the way we get to them first is basically them being the wedding band for another marriage for Missy. So to complete the Missy trillogy.
They're both families trillogy. We start off on the first film and she's marrying Bill's dad. And they're joking, Ted's joking with Bill. Remember when we asked her to go to prom?
And you know, shut up Ted. And in the second film it's shut up Bill because she's divorced Mr. Preston and is now married to Officer Logan. And by the time we get around to this movie she's the divorce officer Logan and is married Deacon.
That's all over there. Off to the Logan side. The one who got Napoleon lost at the bowling alley. Yeah.
They're ditching at the, you know, in San Dimas. So you see them kind of kissy face and all that stuff. And they're just obnoxious like just a face too. It's just like the fans of the movies.
They're watching, oh my god, this is so fucking hilarious but so wrong. Yeah. And it was her and you know. Forget his name, he's from Saturday Night Live.
I can't, you know, I'll have to pull him up here. But yeah, I was like, okay, this is definitely not Deacon from, you know, you know, from the original films or anything like that. But it was. Back then.
Yes. He's freaking hilarious on Saturday Night Live. And he was a good choice to be the Deacon for this one. Absolutely.
And they tried to get as many people back. You know, like how Land and Junior came back as Ted's father. Again, so like, well you give it up. You didn't travel to the dark with them.
What do you have to do with the performance where they were doing the throat scene and the theremin. They bust out the theremin. When he got the theremin, I was like, oh my god. And he all smashed the theremin.
Yeah. True rock and roll of fashion. Yeah. He's rocking the hell out of that thing.
He goes through them afterwards and tells them like, you guys ever traveled through time? Yeah. He never died. Get over it.
But you know, like our boys are in peril. The next scene has them going to couples therapy and which is funny because they both wind up in couples therapy together. Yeah, initially the princess is one of them solo but the course won't have to be together. Yep.
And the, again, in true fashion with the trilogy films, you know, we start off with two princesses and by the time we got to the book we started it was two different princesses and now, you know, it's the two different acts just playing in this one. And this one we get Aaron Hayes and, this is kind of funny. Aaron Hayes and Jim Amaze. Oh, wow.
Yeah. Very interesting. But Aaron Hayes plays Elizabeth, which is Ted's wife. And Jim Amaze, if you don't know who she is, she was ugly.
She was the one that was married to the Glee band teacher. Oh, okay. So, or engaged, you know, stuff. Yeah.
Killer right-head, I might add. But yeah, so this introduces possibly my favorite duo in the film, which is, um, Somar Weaving playing Thea. Yeah. And then you have Widget Lindy Payne playing Billy.
Yeah. And they respect, you know, respectfully both the guys, kids. But the thing is, Bill's kid. Yes, Bill named his kid after Ted.
His name is Theodora, an interactable name. And then Will Amina is the name of Billy. Billy. Yeah.
Which is really cool. It didn't make it seem like obnoxious that the two friends did that. It's like, no, that's friends are going to do this. And so, you know, the other, and their D's, they immediately set them up as his music lovers.
You know, they opened the garage and it looks a lot like the music lovers and students and music. Big time students and music. Like they knew everything about everything as far as music was concerned. And they were both the spitting image of Bill and Ted as far as attitude and their whole, yeah, the whole, like, whoa.
The whole thing, Billy. Yes. Like, if I remember a couple, she hadn't really done anything before this. And this was a perfect virtual.
Yes. And she was such a phenomenal mirror. And if you watch them, they're almost opposites of their dads. So like, thea is more like Bill.
Even though they look like, you know, their respective fathers, they've all, you know, just kind of takes on this encompassing feeling of, you know, passing on that whole wild, scally feeling. Then of course you got Kristen Shawl playing Kelly. Yeah, playing Kelly. Rufus is daughter.
Which, to the unaware, the fact that she's in Kelly is honoring Rufus, honoring George Harlan by naming her after George. George is a natural daughter. So, yeah, they went ahead with that. And she was so much, so much Kristen Shawl.
If you don't know her from anything else, you'll never see her recognize her face. As soon as you hear her voice. Louise from Bosberg. Yeah.
She's so, so funny. It's a funny thing, like me and Kim have been watching a lot of stand-up. We watched some of Kristen's stand-up and Eugene Merman stand-up. And I'm still, I'm surprised I'm not online.
So we've probably done it. I want to see animated Louise or animated Jean doing their stand-up. Oh, that would be fun. Oh, yeah.
That would be so much fun. What he's referring to is the voice of Jean and the voice of Louise. The voice of Jean does his own little stand-up. And he does bring Kristen Shawl into the fold-on thing.
So, it's pretty funny. William Sattler, of course, we talked about it before returns his death. He's amazing. He was great in the hands.
He broke up with the band. So he broke up with the band and he was sued by the band because he tried to take the wide style name and he was like, it was all about me and you find out that he was doing these 40 or 45-minute bass solos that only he could play because he's dead. It was amazing. He's like fame really kind of went to my head.
And they kind of have a falling out. And you know, of course it's a throwback to bogus journey when you see him run up about his playing hopscotch and he's cheating. And they're like, is he cheating? You can hear him going best, you know, 74 out of whatever it is.
And it just seems like his streak was broken after the boys. He can't settle on the game. So, you know, of course we've got Kid Cudi in this one. He plays himself, Dave Grohl's in it.
That was an awesome because as Chris's follower comes in and it's revealed, you guys can get the song done now. So she takes the boys back to the future of Sam Deimis where we get to see Rufus. Yes. And he's enshrined in the original film booth.
So it passes by a Tim from an excellent adventure and it steps out and says, greetings my excellent friends. Oh, yeah. It was so good to see him. And then they go to Rufus's wife where she was explaining like, hey, dumbasses.
She's the great leader now. And it's the legendary Holland Taylor. She's fantastic in this one. And she says, look, you have until 717 two night, two friggin' night to get this song done.
And so she gives them all the instruments that they're needing to like get at it. And they immediately are like, let's go to the future. Let's go for myself. And still for myself.
Meanwhile, Chris Charles and Sam Deimis present time and Kelly, you know, and she decides to, the girls come out and say, hey, do you mind if we take this and we can put together a band? They'll help our dads, you know. Well, as Belent had to go back to steal the music for themselves, Kelly's mom, the grand leader, decides to screw it. We need to kill them.
That's the reason. That's where we did. The guy who stole the show. It's Anthony Carrigan.
And if you don't know him, he's the one who plays Victor's ass on Gotham. And I can't remember his character's name, but he's on Barry. He plays the, he plays the Mob Leader, the kid's hiring Barry to bring his boys in. Yes, and he's so funny.
But he ends up playing Dennis Caleb McCoy. His name is Dennis. He's initially like this killer. And he's sent to go kill him.
And as Melton has flown around and everything, Kelly comes back to present-day Sandemas to cut him off at the pass. And then that's when the girls decide, no, we need to get a band together to do this right. Yes. And so when they open the garage door with Jimi Hendrix, who we Armstrong, Mozart.
Yeah, I think her name's Grub. Grub. And Grub. Yes.
Played by Patty Endler. Of course. Grub was her name. And we're trying to remember the flautist from China.
The ancient China. Yes, she's, it's Shange. She plays Lingu. Okay.
Yeah. So anyway, she's got the whole band together. She's down there and the door opens up and he just fires off and kills everybody. Then you can start to see a little crack in the system.
Yeah. He's like, oh no. Well, things, I did bad things. You see him start to kind of, you know, show emotions and like, oops, I failed.
I failed. And so. This leads for one for the guy who's been on to go into the furthest future, if I remember correctly, where they run into, or not really run into, they go visit the older Bill and Ted. Yes.
They work their way through. They go a couple of years ahead and then three years ahead and then the five years ahead. And then if I leave. The first time they find themselves at a dive bar open mic night.
Yeah. Over my night and their wives have left them. Second round, they find them in this huge mansion where they've been successful in everything as they think. And they have these British accents.
Hey, they, you know, but then they'll quickly reveal that they're squatting in dig. And then that leads them to go to prison. Right. You've seen that in the trailers and everything where they're just muscle bound.
Yes. So they're going to prison, which is the next stop online. But however, that's also where Ted's dad and the SWAT van get killed. Yeah.
And somehow the SWAT van ends up in hell. Yeah. And then it jumps to them in prison. The Android shows up there to which the muscle bound Bill and Ted beat the piss out of the door.
And we see more. You know what happens if it kills them, then we die too. And so you get to see them. You're like even more.
Yeah. And they're making a big joke because the music they're playing in prison, they're like, that wasn't music. Yeah. That was a song.
Yes, it was a song. And so the Android at one point after getting stopped instead of like, you know, that all you got, he goes, that wasn't music. And they just keep stopping the piss out of them. So they take off.
And then they go to the future even further and it's them in retirement home. And they're like, here, here's the USB drive that has the song on it. And it says, you know, pressed and loved. And then, but that's when it's the country's name again.
Oh, so Danny? No, Dennis. Dennis. That's what they're named to.
I know. At the retirement home, that's where they finally run into Dennis and he's about to kill him. They have the song, but he reveals mistakes were made, mistakes were made, and reveals that he's normalized. They're not.
I laser your daughter and they're like, what? That's what he says. I laser your daughter's. Yeah.
He's like, oh, he's killing me. He's killing me. He's killing me. He's killing me.
He's killing me. He fucked up, so he has to kill himself. So he's going to kill himself and they grab onto him. And so when he blows up, they blow up too.
And go to hell. And that's where we get the personality of Mr. Dennis K. Look at him.
And he realizes, oh, I have a name. Hi, my name's Dennis McCoy. And he's watching. Actually, the full name's Dennis K.
Okay, let's go. And he just becomes this running joke of he wants to be involved and he feels so bad. And nobody wants him to do anything. But real quick, that whole evolution, and the whole evolution of this movie is brilliantly done.
And he introduces himself to Kelly. And he's like, my mom named you after my ex-boyfriend. Yeah. He's like, we'll get out of here.
And she's yelling at her mom because they have a phone, they can communicate for many dimensions. And she's yelling at her mother. Did it work, mom? Did it work?
You killed Don't Ted? They're here now too. Did it work? Oh, of course I did.
This is like I try to tell you. This is where we get with death. And there are many nothances. Yes.
They kind of bury the hatchet with the help of the girls. The girls are like, look, you put out these solo albums and they're like, we love this. And he's like, really, the critics slam that. And they said it was worse than this.
And they're like, yeah, and parts it was. But these bars from this song, you know, like tears on an ivory phase or something. It was one of the weird songs. You know, they're like, it was just a masterpiece.
And they show off their musical knowledge, which brings the guys back together. And this elevates us honestly. Because there's a lot of stuff we haven't discussed here because you have to watch this fucking movie. But as we lead into the end.
Yeah, we'll give you the spoilers. This is a flat out spoiler look on the ending because it is a brilliant fucking ending. It is so poetically wonderful. And as a parent, when you see this, you go, oh.
Hold that thought until we get to that. Oh, I'm sorry. No, no, no, no. Sorry.
Yeah. And it's just tremendous. You know, when they're leaving, Hell is one of my favorite things too, is Dennis is sitting there and death goes, let's rock. And Dennis looks forward to start talking to death.
He's like, you know, when you said rock, I really, you know, because I really felt like rock. And death goes, yeah, you can't actually rock. You can't just jump in and rock. You know, like, you have to do some stuff.
You can't just jump in and do it, you know. So when they come out and they come out and they're in Sandy, they're in times unraveling. And this is where one of the key points is revealed. MP47.
And we also find out the kid is an astrophysics genius. Like Master Genius. Like he knows all the stuff. And so that was, I actually got a big kick out of that when both the girls, when the and Billy were like waxing intellectual, when he had just a second, and he starts going off and he's like, no, it's more of this.
It's not really, you know, that's like, this ribbon, it's more of this. And you know, it's funny to watch. He actually, he did a really good job in that. But we find out that MP46 is this portion of highway and they're stuck in good luck traffic as people try to escape the city and the period to show you up.
And I've totally been there. Everything's unraveling before them and they're like, this is where we have to do it. This is the point. This is what we have to do.
And it builds this for Shrindo. At first, the guys are like, what the, what are we supposed to play? And then you have the broken flash drive. Yeah, flash drive that it has.
But it finally clicks. It's not them. It's the girls. It's the girls.
Yeah. It says Preston Lillen, but it doesn't say Bill and Ted, you know, it says Preston. I mean, goosebumps just think about this reveal because I'm going to let you go into your parents side of it But to me, there's the silent knuckle bump from the two people who don't have to change the diaper. Yeah.
To me, like as I said before, this is a perfect trilogy because it was never about Bill and Ted, you know, they just needed to get the world to the point they are with. They said music. They had to, they had to pass that class. They had to go to heaven and hell.
Yeah. So they had to stay together to save the universe so that their kids could write this on. Yeah. They'll create the music, I should say.
And they said, we're not, you're not here to give us a band. We're here to be your band. And so the kids get up there and they start doing stuff and they, you know, of course you got Hendricks and Armstrong and everybody are fighting with one another and she says, well, not really a fight either. They're all doing their own thing.
Yeah, but they started arguing with each other and then she goes, wait, wait, stop. You play like, you know, do this. You cover this. And then I started getting to death where it was like, and they show, they show, you know, uh, grugger, whatever, like, I always forget her name, but the heavy hitting drummer from 12,000 BC that they show her what beat they wanted to hit.
And so she does. Everything's going to turn up low in the motion. And then the guys start realizing it. Okay, there's something more missing here.
Yeah. And then they have to hit the, they got a Mckin and Pity call. Yeah. Which is cool because he's like, I found him.
He's like, I found him. He's like, and the girls, the, the princess has stepped into the booth with them and say, you know what, why don't you hit the infinity sign? Let's see what happens there. And it doesn't.
It takes them to, you know, kick your, explain the tumor and for the go. And hey, look, there can be an infinite amount of you and infinite timelines. So here's how you do it. And so they take musical instruments to everybody all over the time.
Yeah, all over the timelines. And, um, so hey, you got to play along. And here's the tempo you need to play along too. This is what's going to help and gets the entire universe to rock with them.
So it's never about one, you know, like two guys in a band uniting the entire world, but yet at the same time, it's about two guys in a garage in a band uniting the entire world. And of course, don't get there a moment. Yeah. To just rock and rock out.
And that's the thing that actually seals everything back up and, you know, does that. So the guys get up there and, you know, lightness coming down and they're just playing their asses off and it's just pure. It's pretty awesome. But you know, like as a parent for me, what it did was that's the big things are supposed to work.
We always want to see our kids do better than what we did. We always want to see them succeed for themselves. To reboot us. Yes.
Yes. Exactly. And to just go forward into the future and do such wonderful things. And when you find out that they weren't the guys to unite everything necessarily, it was the girl in this moment, it was the girls who were the ones that were going to do it.
And it was. And in that final moment, I'm like, basically where I think it was Billy that says the final lines of everything finally aligned for this one moment. That's all it needed to be. And I'll tell you right now what they did at the end of it.
They said they were going to do this anyways, which was people got to sit in clips of themselves doing air guitar and some people in costume and things like that. And people really don't. I've really, really done it. Me too.
But they had all these people that were playing like air guitar and stuff like that. Weird all in the audience. Yes. I spotted them too.
I had two different people playing a weird all in the left. So basically you get people from all over the world, there was people from China and Australia and Russia. I mean, and they really wanted to drive home that music and passion and everything unifies. And I was just like I'm fighting it now.
Just choked up. Oh, it's beautiful. As cheesy as the saying that sounds, it's the proper truth. It is.
It really is. And that's what that was the nail in the coffin for my choice as far as my favorite film of 2020. Because I was like so many people were so divided by fucking politics and economics and everything else was going on in 2020 and then desperately trying to find some connection and all this stuff. And it came from fucking building up all people.
You know, I was like shit, it was perfect that it came out early in the year too. Yeah. When everything was really starting to hit the van. Yes.
And like when we watched it, we rented it on a video on a man and we watched it once and then I took him home and I watched it again that night. And I think it was a 48 hour rental. I think I watched it like two more times within 48 hours. And I held off until I could really watch it at home without any interruptions and things like that.
It would be a try a couple of times where we could get together and watch it. But things had just fallen through. I mean, it was a weird last year. Starting off a little less weird but still pretty weird.
But nonetheless, you know, I finally got it and I just watched all three movies straight through. Took me a little while. I wanted to make sure that I was uninterrupted. I wanted to watch all three of them to have that flow of continuity to see how it felt to me and all this stuff.
And it was just, I got to the end of it and I was like, oh my God, they did such an amazing job. So, you know, when you guys get a chance, if you haven't yet, please, please, please check this out. Oh, yes. The whole story is not a sheer joy of it.
Is it cheesy? Yes. Bill and Ted are always cheesy. But they come from such a place of purity.
And that's the thing too. I think we discussed on the other Don't Ted episode that there's such stoner icons quote unquote. Yeah. But you never see them smoke.
And also too in face of music. It was such a big deal that Ted became a freaking drinker. Yes. I know.
And also to how the Teds would argue with each other. You're like, whoa, it just wasn't the happy-go-lucky like, oh my God, you know, which I will say, did you notice that what the first number was for, for infinity? No. yes sixty nine days it's so cool to watch but you know before we go before we go in for the one or one all around all around jesus all that girl before we move on i just wanted to take a moment to recognize three people in this film uh...
to go in the rascals and how and the two demons are so that i can't get that's all the time that the creators did you know who the head uh... the uh... the technician was in the future it wasn't kelly carlim call his daughter's in it yeah all that was on the uh... was on the credits as a whole crap yet to the future josh is not a nice to the the heat revealed on twitter that she went in for something with the production but never yes on the last of like exactly so uh...
and i think the other one i can look at it is uh... peter michael uh... he's the one who actually did the rest of the recording that rufus does so he he it takes carlins voice all the amazing job i don't know what they had to do modulator if he just sounded i'm like if you see like uh... like the best example of his uh...
the self-care guys doing the voice of a work yes like this so it was written by and pigeon everything right but i have to destroy the voices that is a certain thing every time but there some actors out there who can nail it without having to do any kind of change modulation to what they do to make it match like to do that in the voice of marty in the back of the trip again that's fantastic he was fantastic or you know we could go mark and we'll do it here's important yeah spot on uh... but you know uh... peter michael is his name and uh... you know it's one of the things i i want to do because we spoke to so many people at conventions and things that you've always have a word out you know it's a and i think they need to be shout out a little bit of you know like that that scene really you know that the fields because it's it's called it's working and so to see that and see that you can see that you so heavily involved in it the fact they named her kelly who's just so good so i want to give credit for crazy so and i will be right before you wrap it up to you watch the kurtissing right the post-credits and my blue ray cap freezing all should so i have not seen it so i would love if you would talk me through it's like a little bit of a watch it i was really good at my it keeps fucking up every time i try to play it basically it's the old bill and the rest of them they both get up and can go let's do this they get up plug up and just freaking ref they just play they walk out and then they get done and then bills like oh god it's just nice to sound like i shouldn't have done that it's basically an old guys but also too kind of like that was fun that was cool i you know like i thought i was hoping there was going to be something like that and it just wouldn't let me get to it kept jumping straight to the warnings that are written in 57 different languages but when you wrap your own i think it would have been cool too if they would have been at the end where they finally they pass and it shows them going up to heaven you know station and you see room face and all that all lost my mother's making everything was really well done for them bills more than anybody else's i was all holy crap actually when they were in gold house and they peeled off all their stuff and he's balling and he's got that flat hair hanging over i was all that's so funny it looks so good there's so many things about this thing highly recommended even if you're not going to then to even just go into this one i think people can just go in blind honestly i think you can't do they cover enough of the history they catch you up to speed because of like one unifying message and in a parent message like if you have a kid that is creative even if you're not creative oh yeah i'm not ever sent to be able to go okay yeah yeah just you know that they're quirky little things that they like support it because you never know who they're going to become so you never know what they're going to do with the odd things that they're going to do now that are going to turn into masterpieces and stuff later so support all of that stuff now i think that's about it that's all i got on this one i agree with you this i put this up there with back the future is one of the perfect really easy yeah um ever put on film and uh that links perfectly yeah for a guy who watches mama's ex-lena venture every single day after school my my software or my freshman and sophomore year it was it was something that i just watched in vhs over and over and over again and uh yeah this was a great wrap up then and i think to i i think to allude to some possible coming attractions as we rapidly approached april and the traditional nowhere-wise coming i think we may have to delve into that thing we talked about during our initial build-in-head episode oh we have checked out the live action series and that's yeah oh god i want to tell them in that point if you can almost feel it festering under the scanner the live action that was just terrible yeah yeah so now with all that being said and nothing else is you i think it's not wrapped up this has been Josh this has been Nick what you sure oh be excellent to each other
