Speaker 3:Don't drop the mic, don't drop the mic. Don't drop the mic. It's a must. Well, hello, hello. Welcome to the Powers Point Podcast, season 6, number 1, in the year of our Lord, 2025. And today we're going to drop some new facts in this new year and with me. They're not new, they've been around. I'm talking about my co-host, jim banks. Jim, this is a audio man, not a video.
Speaker 3:Oh, hello I thought we were going new well, I'll throw this on YouTube if you want me to. And also returning in this new year is Keith Mackey.
Speaker 4:What's going on? How's it going? How you doing? Everybody? It's three C's in Keith, right, three C's. We're coming on, yeah. So how was your guys' New Year's? Ours was fun. We played games and listened to music and had food and basically just waited for the year to change, and it was again pleasantly uneventful. We did the whole sweep of a nice, calm holiday season and I couldn't really be more happy about that.
Speaker 1:There was no cars getting exploded or anything, or gunshots.
Speaker 4:Oh, there's plenty of gunshots. It was definitely that when the year went off, it was probably man. Maybe two to three hours afterwards they were still going yeah.
Speaker 1:Mine was pretty okay. There was no eggnog incident. Yes Whoa, we broke the two-year curse. He said you know what? You're having one eggnog. That's it. We're going to play it safe this year and had the leftover treats from Christmas desserts and had some New Year's Day. We had like those little cocktail sausages and we had meatballs and different stuff nice, nice, nothing big, just counted down the night before and everything, different stuff, nice, nice, you know nothing big, you know. Just we'll count it down the night before and everything.
Speaker 3:Now, does everybody stay up in the house until the New York or Keith's time midnight, or do you stay awake for the Chicago?
Speaker 1:Well, we stay up for the Chicago one. That's what we are.
Speaker 4:Right.
Speaker 1:Yeah, jimmy, he's old enough to stay up now. So he's a couple years in a row now. He's happy, he stays up, he feels all adult and stuff.
Speaker 3:How about you, Keith? Do you stay awake the whole time?
Speaker 4:Oh, yeah, yeah, I think this is the first year I actually thought about that, because a friend, pauly from the Greenwood Boys, is in Ireland and they're eight hours ahead of us, so it's like, well, man, he would have celebrated his, you know, when it was four o'clock in the afternoon here.
Speaker 3:Now, speaking of that, did you guys watch throughout the day the New Year's turning in the countries around the world? Like the different celebrations?
Speaker 1:No, I missed that.
Speaker 3:Hands down. They did it, hands down. The best, even over us, is in Dubai. Holy cow, man, they got the world's largest LED screen. It's 2,163 feet. Oh my goodness, oh my goodness, oh my goodness.
Speaker 3:And the countdown started on the bottom, man, and worked its way up to the peak of this building, this tower, and the fireworks just start pouring out of the building. Man, it looked like an infernal and then, like all these digital, it was kind of like know the spear in Vegas? You guys seen how the videos are inside? Yeah, it's like like giant people, like DJs are like on the, on the, on the LED screens, and the music did sound familiar to me, man, because you know like DJs have certain styles and you kind of like you pick up on it. Well, on the very top of that tower is everything was going off.
Speaker 3:Man was the DJ from Amsterdam, armin van Buren, and he played at the very top of this tower and he put the camera and pointed it down and, man, it's like so high and he's out in the open, but it was so cool, man, because horses were running across the tower, dragons are like, coming up the led screens, and it went on for damn near an hour and I was like, how many fireworks does this apartment building hold? Man, like it's crazy, it's crazy. You gotta think the people living inside the building gotta be like what the hell's going on. You know like when's this stuff stopping? But jesus. And then the funniest thing you know like chicago, you'd think they would have a bigger like setup. You know like new york, but it doesn't, man. And you get all new y York stuff on TV and then you get 29 minutes of Chicago.
Speaker 1:And Chicago. It used to be big but, like you said, the last couple of years, especially this year, they just show that, like the news, people in a, like a club or something, clubbing and stuff.
Speaker 3:Right now say, well, let's go to the salt club and then there'll be a host and his wife there and then it'll be like let's go over to this club and there'll be two more news people and the husband was trying to get his wife drunk like come on, drink eight shots of tequila dude.
Speaker 1:I saw that he's what this one guy was getting this woman to like. Just she was downing. He's like come on, come on, come on. I'm like, is it are we watching abuse? What's going on here?
Speaker 3:I believe that's what it was, yeah when it turns out that last year she couldn't drink because she was pregnant because, yeah, the guy she co-host with is her husband, so he took all the shots for her. So this year he said that she'd have to make it up. And then they they said she can only do four because of her height difference compared to what he is. But man, it's shit.
Speaker 1:At the one club, valerie Warner, who's on Channel 7, she was in this hot dress and stuff and she had to add something to her because she was grinding with these guys. I'm like holy, I was ready to cover Jimmy's eyes Like oh my God was grinding with these guys.
Speaker 3:I'm like holy, I was like ready to cover Jimmy's eyes, like, oh my God, come on. The big act that they showed on TV was some guy dancing around in a Dunkin' Donuts cup and the cup's just dancing.
Speaker 1:That looks like the most poor ass stuff. I don't know how if Chicago's that bad off with the money that they can't spend on anything but a Dunkin' Donuts costume.
Speaker 4:Or that's what they trust to be able to safely go off without, you know, a lot of Bob showing up and beating the living shit out of everybody in sight.
Speaker 3:And then they kept telling him Dunkin' Donuts cup, turn around, turn around, because he's got more stuff on his back and the guy's just like just dancing.
Speaker 1:I'm telling you, you, they were all grinding like it was adult theme. I'm like Jesus.
Speaker 3:Christ man. And then, not too far from my house, probably about 10 minutes, is Whiting and they have the pierogi drop and they tried that for the first time last year and the news they cut over to it, the show dropping. Did you see that, jim? Last year the big pierogi was all lit up and it went like two inches and broke. I live TV man.
Speaker 1:Oh my God, why didn't you fail? What'd they do this year?
Speaker 3:They did nothing. Nothing on TV.
Speaker 1:They couldn't fix it One year they couldn't fix it.
Speaker 3:You used to have Ryan Seacrest host New York. Now he's in Vegas. Well, it was Dick. Clark before that Right, but they still call it the Dick Clark Rockin' New Years, but they took it to Vegas and left all the nobodies. I'm sorry, I have nothing against, but like all the acts that were on TV for the New York, I had to have a translator on the TV because it was all Spanish, like some guy named Cabo. Who's Cabo?
Speaker 1:You don't know, man, you're not on the hip side.
Speaker 3:You don't know all that stuff. And then every chick had some like painted-on suit and they could barely squat down the damp. They'd rip their ass out.
Speaker 1:It's a vulgar New Year's.
Speaker 3:Yeah, and then on the other side of the stage that they did in the air was like the Jonas Brothers name people and I'm like, well, how come we didn't get that?
Speaker 1:I think big name celebrities are probably like staying inside and like they're all scared to go out and stuff because all the craziness has happened this last two years.
Speaker 3:I love watching Earth Cam, love watching it. You can go anywhere around the world and just watch live what's going on. And I was showing Karen because she's never seen EarthCam and they don't sponsor us or anything, but I showed her Bourbon Street in New Orleans and then, like no later than 20 minutes after I shut that off, that psycho went crazy and killed all the people right in the front of that camera. Man, oh my God, yeah, fifteen people.
Speaker 3:He killed man, and I'm like you lucked out, man, I see that I don't know, yeah, and like that would have like really messed me up.
Speaker 1:Yeah, seconds into the new year. You're like what's the point?
Speaker 3:seconds into the new year you're like what's the point? They said not to be funny. But they said, nah, I'm gonna say, man, I'm gonna take the mood down in the show and I don't want to take the mood down.
Speaker 1:Well, for our countdown, jimmy was playing Animal Crossing on the Switch and they do a live countdown every year on that and he was just with the other villagers like cheering and setting off fireworks and stuff. I'm like oh, that's the way to kick it.
Speaker 3:Yeah, it's innocent. You're playing video games and you're with, hopefully, friends that you're with on the game If you're playing live with other kids. So we're going to take a quick commercial break and when we come back we're going to talk some facts.
Speaker 5:What happened to FAKE Radio? Did they get kidnapped by aliens? Was it the timekeeper? What did the stopwatch button do? Where the hell is FAKE Radio? It's back. Get ready for the wildest, craziest and most unpredictable ride on the airwaves FAKEAKE Radio, season 2. For all the craziness, all the drama and all the laughter, don't miss out on Max Cal Elroy and Abe bringing the heat. Every week. It's Season 2 of FAKE Radio coming soon to a station near you. Tune in, turn it up and hold on tight. It's gonna get loud. Catch Max Cal Elroy and Abe only on FAKE Radio. Welcome back.
Speaker 3:As I said before the commercial, we're gonna drop some fun believe-it-or-not facts, so they're not just ordinary facts, and of course I didn't tell you guys then, because I love hearing the the live reactions. So let me drop the first one here. The human body glows. Humans emit a small amount of light that's too faint for the human eyes to see, okay, but what sees it though? I don't know. It's probably the infrared stuff.
Speaker 1:Oh that small amount of light that's too faint for the human eyes to see. Okay, but what?
Speaker 3:sees it, though I don't know, it's probably the infrared stuff.
Speaker 1:Oh, I thought when you're in love, that's when you see the glow that could be.
Speaker 4:Or you're Rick James and you got an orange aura Dragon.
Speaker 1:Oh yeah, what he's like yeah.
Speaker 3:So no, he would have a a whatchamacallit candy bar a cocaine aura around him.
Speaker 4:Rick james, yeah cocaine's a hell of a yard. Okay, hey, man, do you listen to rick james music, though that man has some amazing, awesome records. Man street songs is a wicked record front to back.
Speaker 1:Which one has him in the thigh-high boots, red boots and stuff.
Speaker 4:That's Street Songs. That's the one.
Speaker 1:That one is so funny man. Oh my god, I love that. I got into Rick James for a little while. It was like a big window. My former friend at work said you gotta listen to it. I go, eh, I'll never listen to Rick James. When and I finally did, I was like, oh my god, this is awesome.
Speaker 4:Oh he's so funky, yeah kind of like uh, the bgs, where people kind of make fun of the bgs a lot, but you listen to their music, it's like and it's some of the best stuff ever made yeah, you gotta.
Speaker 1:You just gotta have an older like kind of appreciation or stuff, and you gotta, after listening to the music nowadays, you got to start diving into different genres from the past, and just that's what I've been doing, that's for sure I mean, how can you like, uh, not like, how deep is your love by the bgs man?
Speaker 3:you're driving down the street listening to that, wiping your eyes, man, you know. And then I have to ask my wife yeah, how many hooks in that same song?
Speaker 4:you mean, how many killer? How many killer hooks in that same song? And he just keeps laying them on you so moving, moving on.
Speaker 3:A day on earth used to be 22 hours, so wait, how long ago was that? It's a couple millions a year oh, so it's going to stay.
Speaker 1:What the heck man wait? What how? Earth's rotation was faster, making days shorter so now it's slower, so shouldn't it be like when is it going to be like slower again to where we get like 26 hours in a day or something?
Speaker 3:yeah, that means our work days are going to be longer.
Speaker 1:Yeah, but that more time to do stuff you know you don't have to work that long that's more sleep maybe.
Speaker 3:Imagine being at small market for 12 hours. No, no, no, I don't think about that. Hey, the holiday season's over man, you should be think about that. Hey, the holiday season's over man, you should be happy about that.
Speaker 1:No, because the stuff's still coming in. All the people's crap. I didn't want that. I broke that. You have to pee on it. Thanks a lot.
Speaker 3:You got the same pair of shoes as an excuse and they brought back the dirty pair.
Speaker 1:Yeah, or they'll vacuum up like dog crap and then like, oh, bring it back to the store and then just leave the crap or the stuff inside the vacuum. And I'm like what the hell, man? Everybody wonders why we're so cranky over there. Why don't you come over here and work for an hour and see how you?
Speaker 3:No, I don't know I don't wonder. Here we go. Blue whales are louder than jet engines.
Speaker 1:Well, yeah, because their bodies are so big, I'd believe that their lungs and all that, and their sound.
Speaker 3:It says the blue whale can reach a decibel of 188, whereas a jet engine can only peak at 140. Wow.
Speaker 1:If it's next to you, it'll break your lungs or something, won't it, I think?
Speaker 3:yeah, they said you can hear them for miles if I drove this. They said you can hear them for miles if you're underwater and you can hear. That would be spooky. Well, the scuba diving for the first time and you're like what? What you know? You realize there's a reason why you shouldn't be there. And then my ex-girlfriend swims by man is it's like?
Speaker 1:Because you can't swim. I don't know why people love swimming in the water and saying that I mean you're in their domain and you can't get away fast enough. There's no human can get away fast enough from something down there. Exactly, people are like I still got to go.
Speaker 3:How about? The biggest great white shark they found is 24 feet. They call it big blue and, uh, the girl that swims with it's only five, five and she just attaches on and goes swimming with it. She's like swimming in front of them, under her arm, and I'm like, nah, when you see, like the helicopter view down into like the crystal clear, like water, dude, it's like the size of its head and I'm like why, man? All right, so you know, our friends and our family members, the bananas.
Speaker 1:Yes, okay.
Speaker 3:Remember Jim. They shared 60% of our DNA.
Speaker 1:Oh, I thought they came down the stairs in pajamas.
Speaker 3:No, so they are radioactive, bananas are. Oh yeah, they are I saw a team potassium negative 40, which is a radioactive isotope of potassium, and they said eating six bananas in a row could be deadly. Wow, like one after the other because that's too much radiation. It's really weird.
Speaker 1:I went to the dentist last time. They had a chart on the wall because everybody freaks out about the lead vest when they take photos of your teeth and they had a chart to where the banana was just underneath the x-rays or like you're checking for your teeth, and they had a chart to where the banana was just under or underneath the uh like x-rays and stuff. Like you're checking for your teeth and camp pictures and they show like stuff that you deal with like microwaves and that's worse than uh, getting your teeth looked at and everything that x-rays and that.
Speaker 4:Wow, but I did see a banana on the chart I mean there's people there's, like athletes out there, that have seven, eight bananas at a clip, you know, and they blend them up with the spring water and what you know, like the parkour dude Tim Sheep, I know he says if he doesn't have at least seven or eight bananas he gets upset. That could be universal.
Speaker 3:He needs his fix of radiation.
Speaker 4:Right, he's radioactive guy.
Speaker 3:All right, this is crazy the Leaning Tower of Pisa.
Speaker 1:Anybody know how long it took to make or build 2,000 years.
Speaker 3:You're so close, it's 199. 199 years, it says. It started leaning as soon as the construction started.
Speaker 1:Oh, they kept going and they kept going. Then you get halfway up or something, aren't you like? Shouldn't we restart this or fix that guy?
Speaker 3:no, keep going it's like you know they would look at him, be like did scott build that?
Speaker 1:and things more crooked than a politician, uh, or if the, or if the guy looking at it on ground saying it's, it's, no, I don't believe him. He's never right and they just keep going.
Speaker 4:It'll even out eventually. I told you it was leaning. The other side will go down too.
Speaker 3:Your stomach gets a new lining every few days.
Speaker 1:I heard that too.
Speaker 3:It says it protects it from digesting itself from acid. Like where's the?
Speaker 1:oh, nevermind, I know we're getting all your cells and everything else, and that all changes, so you're like a new person. Every uh can't remember how many years your whole body is different.
Speaker 3:Well, I feel different than I did.
Speaker 1:I feel old man, just well where you live I, I I feel old man. Well, where you live, I'd feel different too.
Speaker 4:I know I've had a bad stomach since I was probably 19 years old, so I can definitely go for that. I understand that. I don't know if you've ever heard of this. You know I have what's called an open sphincter muscle. Obviously there's one. You know what the obvious one is? Well, there's the other one, like right where your stomach is, where your, you know, your, whatever your esophagus, where your food goes down into your stomach and when you eat food it closes up around your food. Where mine doesn't close, it stays open, and so when I eat food I don't digest properly, it hover, yeah, back it's, yeah, it's a pain in the, in the butt man I've been dealing with it for a long time, literally, yeah, yeah, I was gonna say literally.
Speaker 3:I was wording that as jim said it. This one's a little bit baffling to me. Okay, so you can see your nose all the time, but your brain ignores it to focus on more important things.
Speaker 1:I believe it. It has to.
Speaker 4:If I get too hammered, I feel like that's when I start to get sick, is when I start looking at my own nose.
Speaker 1:Because people have habits and if they feel something on them they'll start itching or something until they're bleeding and stuff. I can imagine your brain seeing your nose all the time and running into things like oh, this one would really piss me off.
Speaker 3:Some people can hear their eyeballs moving.
Speaker 1:Oh, no way.
Speaker 3:It's a rare condition called Superior Canal Dyspnea Syndrome. They can actually hear as they move their eyes, man, it sounds like a boat creaking.
Speaker 1:Now can they hear other stuff, Like real far away or something real small making noise.
Speaker 3:I think it's just the stuff that's inside the head.
Speaker 4:Oh okay, oh man, that's like some Brandon Stimpy type stuff.
Speaker 3:You'd always hear somebody following you, but it's really your eyes moving, man.
Speaker 1:It could be what you ate. It's like traveling down your stomach. You're like who's that, who's that?
Speaker 3:All right, there is a species of ant that can explode.
Speaker 4:I think I've heard of that. I think I have heard of that. I think I have heard of that.
Speaker 3:The Colobus's Saunders ant sacrifices itself by rupturing and releasing the toxic goo.
Speaker 1:Ah I was wondering if it had anything to do with the uncle.
Speaker 4:Between the last couple things we talked about. Does that not sound like an old schlock movie Fucking open sphincter and the toxic goo?
Speaker 1:yeah, what'd you guys talk about? Open sphincters and and toxic goo.
Speaker 3:Yeah, it sounds like the title of a scooby-doo cartoon sphincter and toxic goo and the toxic goo.
Speaker 1:oh god, just got an x rating, now Great.
Speaker 3:Yeah, Now how the hell do people know this? Butterflies can remember being caterpillars. It's their transformation. They retain some memory. How do?
Speaker 1:you know, how do you freaking know that they don't ask it?
Speaker 4:They got good word in the butterfly community.
Speaker 1:We've been asked a million of them. We know what they mean.
Speaker 3:Survey in the bushes says by the myrtle flies I, I think, maybe they. They think because of the migration which they have, the same butterflies flying around that came from mexico all the way up to here and then to fly all the way back to life expectancy isn't.
Speaker 1:They just might have good GPS, like a bat or something you know. That's like those people that say that counselors for the dogs or something they hear, or cats or something they say, well, he's stressed out, he don't like. When you do this, it's like how are you talking to the pet? They just smell.
Speaker 3:On the last fact show I said sloths can breathe longer than dolphins. They can hold their breath underwater longer. So I was watching, doing my research, like we do here at the Powerspoint Studio, and I watched this boat out in the ocean. They had seen something and it was a sloth swimming in the ocean, just cruising man. It moved faster in the water than it does on land.
Speaker 1:What I want to see, so I'm going to look that up now.
Speaker 3:Hey, have you also seen when the Russians they'd seen something weird like a periscope in the water. So when they pulled the boat up it was a freaking elephant swimming and they was just so they picked it off the water man and brought it up on the, but it was miles and miles away from shore could you imagine, with the sloths, if it was like they nobody knew that really it was a secret thing and they were like so slow on landing.
Speaker 1:You're like, oh, we're not going to other animals and people, we're not going to mess with them. They get in the water and they're like they're like missiles and yeah, they go lightning speeds and stuff. That'd be hilarious.
Speaker 3:Okay, here you go. You're taller in the morning than at night.
Speaker 1:That's true. I've heard that because your body is laid out and it's uh gravity isn't pulling you straight down like and compressing you like it does when you're standing yeah, it says your spine compresses throughout the day, so you're probably like six, eight, yeah, right right.
Speaker 4:So would you be taller than after coming out of a pool if you were floating? Because that's what they, you know, like people with bad backs, they have you float in a pool. If you can, to like, line your disc back up and whatnot, would that work the same way?
Speaker 1:I think it'd have to be a couple hours or something.
Speaker 4:Yeah, it might have to be a couple hours.
Speaker 3:Yeah, and if you're somebody in the in the, in the water for a couple hours been.
Speaker 1:Yeah, that's when your body resorts to like making your fingers, like your fingerprints, and that rise up so you can like, it's like a primal thing here's a not only facts, but I got some factual laws too. All right, oh believe it or not?
Speaker 3:And our wives would appreciate this. In Samoa, it's illegal to forget your wife's birthday. Yeah, now what's the punishment, though I don't know man, I think I'd take the punishment.
Speaker 1:Yeah, wait a minute. What about Rob? It's a good point.
Speaker 3:I think in Samoa it's a female president. Oh, in Somalia it's a president, a female president.
Speaker 1:Oh, you know what?
Speaker 4:Can we stop that, especially with the number of sensitive men these days? Come on, man In.
Speaker 3:Switzerland, flushing the toilet after 10pm is considered noise pollution.
Speaker 1:Depends on who's going. If somebody's real whisper quiet, they can pinch one out, but if it's old dad or uncle joe or something it's going to be like and not flushing may be a different kind of pollution.
Speaker 3:These are real facts. In Canada, it's illegal to scare the queen. I don't think they have any issues with that at the moment. But All right, wow, what was this? In Arizona, donkeys can't sleep in bathtubs.
Speaker 1:So there was a problem. It was an ongoing issue that they had to make a law.
Speaker 4:I say, as they shouldn't. This is wrong when that goes on.
Speaker 1:Somebody said this is getting out of hand. We got to handle this right now, Come on.
Speaker 4:Or at least make them bigger, for them Come on.
Speaker 3:What do you guys think about this one? In England it's illegal to handle a salmon suspiciously.
Speaker 1:I would ask the Bobby, I would say what is your definition of suspiciously?
Speaker 3:My male member is not stuck in the fish.
Speaker 1:We don't like how you're petting that fish. Would you put it down About to get citation?
Speaker 3:Cows produce more milk when listening to relaxing music.
Speaker 1:I bet that's fact, because you just let it all flow. They're like oh, this is so peaceful.
Speaker 3:That's why I got Beethoven playing in the bathroom, just let things flow.
Speaker 4:What do you suppose they prefer? Because they have to have a preference.
Speaker 1:Yeah, they should try different artists.
Speaker 4:Yeah, like Enya, that'd be what they'd be into. Maybe I already think they like country music because it feels like home to them.
Speaker 1:Different moods of a kind.
Speaker 3:Yeah, alright, last one, guys. The inventor of the microwave got the idea when a chocolate bar melted in his pocket. I'll repeat the inventor of the microwave got the idea when a chocolate bar melted in his pocket, my God. I'll repeat the inventor of the microwave got the idea when a chocolate bar melted in his pocket.
Speaker 1:Hmm, he was like wait, if I heat this up. Then he was like probably figuring out how to heat things up and stuff.
Speaker 3:Dude. One last one. It just ran across the screen. Uh-oh, it smells like rotten eggs due to hydrogen sulfide. Talking to planet.
Speaker 1:Oh, it also depends on what you eat.
Speaker 3:That's all I got for these more facts, and we really hope we educated you here a little bit Wait wait, hold on, hold on.
Speaker 1:Did you guys have you heard about Public Domain Day, january 1st Just happened? No, they have a list of movies, books, music and other stuff that comes into public domain, with the years Okay, so this is every 1950? No, oh, no, this was If anything was made before 1978, it takes 95 years, okay, and anything after 1978 takes 70 years for movies, okay, and then books are like 70 years. It's a whole bunch of different with different types, but this year the big ones that came out are more Mickey Mouse cartoons. After Steamboat Willie, the Skeleton Dance with the Disney they always show the skeletons dancing. That's public domain. Now Popeye is public domain.
Speaker 3:Oh nice.
Speaker 1:Tintin is public domain.
Speaker 3:Already.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I don't know if it's the first incarnation of him. I don't think you could use the later ones if they copyrighted it, but I think it said 10-10. The Marx Brothers movie the Coconuts.
Speaker 3:Yeah, hey, I'll be right back. Hold on, keep talking, Keep talking.
Speaker 1:No problem, and they have a bunch of books too, and three of the main books I saw was the Maltese, balkan and Farewell to Arms. I think Hemingway did that one and All Quiet on the Western Front oh wow.
Speaker 4:I just saw the thumbnail for that movie and I was telling my dad about that that we watched that movie in high school. How depressing was that movie man to have to sit there and do a report on it. John Boy from the on it and everything. John Boy from the Waltons and everything.
Speaker 1:I remember a history class and our teacher in middle school and high school had World War II photo movies like real movies and stuff yeah, with the bodies and stuff, and it was freaking horrific the footage we were watching. Yeah, I couldn't believe it, glory.
Speaker 4:They definitely had some stuff that was a little more emotional bodies and stuff and it was like freaking horrific the footage we were watching yeah, that's that's. I couldn't believe it like glory it was. You know, they definitely had some stuff that was a little more emotional than what I'd be watching on my own.
Speaker 1:That's yeah but these are public domains. If, uh, we want to get creative, we can like last year was winnie the pooh and stuff, or was it two years ago winnie the pooh? I think yes, years ago. Steamboat will was last year. So we can get creative with the Powers Point podcast and use some of these public domains, right.
Speaker 4:Now I always wonder can they, can they re copyright those? Is there a law you know?
Speaker 1:and then I don't know, I don't think once they go public domain, I'm not sure. Right, that's real cool that they have, because it used to be shorter time, I think, for movies. But I think Disney kept pushing back Mickey Mouse. They didn't want to ruin their whole company. They were like paying a lot of money to get it in court to like stretch it out, and they couldn't wait any longer. They finally now they're just dropping more and more.
Speaker 4:Now they're trying to ruin the company in a different way.
Speaker 1:I don't know. Yeah, that's pretty much the world, but that's ridiculous. It's pretty interesting with that public domain stuff. Yeah, I think it's publicdomainorg or something like that, but it you can look up and they have a whole library of stuff and you can just start watching anything you want or using it.
Speaker 4:I guess you just wonder how people are going to use it.
Speaker 1:And I think hold on. I had a picture Next year, I think is. Who was next year? Hmm, crud Gosh, dang it. You know I need a new phone now. This is ridiculous. Am I going to be on the Powerspoint podcast and then get kicked off? Huh, oh, this was supposed to be good radio.
Speaker 4:I thought that was the next thing we were doing was the radio.
Speaker 1:Oh, here it is. His script took over my thing. Okay, next year is Betty Boop and Pluto Wow, and I don't know if 27 might have stuff. But 2028 is Goofy. 2029 is Donald Duck and King Kong oh nice and then all the way to 2032 is like Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs that's definitely getting interesting now yeah, because then in the 2030s it's going to be like Captain America, superman, batman, bugs, bunny, wonder Woman and all that it's going to start.
Speaker 1:all the famous ones are going to be like Captain America, superman, batman, bugs, bunny, wonder Woman and all that it's going to start.
Speaker 4:all the famous ones are going to start dropping stuff. Yeah, I think they'll have something figured out by then the way they can keep a hold of those Exactly. There'll be some new loophole. I don't see them giving up all those when it comes to the superheroes and stuff.
Speaker 1:Maybe we can make t-shirts or something that have or a 10, 10 with the powers point podcast, or Popeye logo with the powers point podcast.
Speaker 4:Yeah, that is a thing. Yeah, I guess that would be useful.
Speaker 1:Scott is a Popeye connoisseur.
Speaker 4:No, I think I get a kick out of Popeye.
Speaker 1:Well, I didn't like the later years when they had uh the like, the later years when they had uh the little baby had more prominent role, or they had the big, uh, the goons and stuff.
Speaker 4:Yeah, it's the goon.
Speaker 1:Yeah, those were, those were wild I kind of like the older black or white black and white ones. With the on the ship the shutter doors were like slamming and stuff. Those are the ones I like, the originals. But when popeye and bluto started being friends, just like tom and jerry, I was like I, I don't like this anymore.
Speaker 4:Oh right, I actually. I don't know if I remember them ever being friends.
Speaker 1:Or they would like work together and stuff. I'm like, no, you're supposed to be. Like yeah, Bluto was supposed to come, and like feed the crap out of you and stuff.
Speaker 4:Right Until he ate his spinach and then it was payback time.
Speaker 1:I don't think I ever really got into Tintin too much.
Speaker 4:I'm not even really positive what Tintin is. I remember Tintin from the crows, the dude with the knives. Other than that, I don't know. It's hilarious. Fire it up.
Speaker 1:Tintin was like this little boy with the dog and stuff and he would get on adventures, okay, and discovery and all that.
Speaker 3:I think you could watch Tintin on Disney or in Discovery and all that. I think you can watch 1010 on Disney or Peacock. No, Netflix has a 1010 movie.
Speaker 1:They still make them.
Speaker 3:It's pretty good. Have you guys watched any good movies over the holiday break from non-work days?
Speaker 4:Really, I can't remember the last movie I would recommend to anybody period. But that's just me. My mind wanders and I have a hard time paying attention to movies.
Speaker 1:The last one I saw was at a—see. I watch old ones. I watched Strangers on a Train.
Speaker 4:Okay.
Speaker 1:Where they—the old black and white one where they try to get one guy tries to get the other one to murder his father, I think, and the other one he murdered a wife or something, and they just met their strangers on a train. It's really thrilling and stuff. And the ending scene is like crazy, the ending. It's worth the whole thing just to see the ending.
Speaker 3:Before Disney lost its. You were talking about public domain before I had to take off for a sec. They lost their copyright to Winnie the Pooh. So right before they lost it they made a movie called Christopher Robin. I don't know if you guys have seen this movie. I heard about it. It's Ewan McGregor, so Obi-Wan Kenobi, and it shows him playing as Christopher Robin. It's a live action in the Hundred Acre Woods with Winnie the Pooh in that. And then Christopher Robin went back home and then the boys board in school and and then, as he progressed through the World War I and married and has his kids, Winnie the Pooh finally figures out Christopher Robin ain't coming back oh my god and so Christopher Robin, or Winnie, wonders what the tree is that Christopher Robin went through and where does it go?
Speaker 3:so him Tigger and Rue, or Piglet, he went through the tree is that Christopher Robin went through and where does it go? So him, tigger and Rue or Piglet, they went through the tree and they came out in live action.
Speaker 1:Oh my gosh.
Speaker 3:Dude, it's so good I gotta recommend it. Man, that's funny. And then, on the opposite of that, they have the Winnie the Pooh murder movie, where he's a psycho killer killing everybody. But no, check out.
Speaker 1:That's what's funny. Throughout the last couple of years, since that Pooh murder movie came out, everybody, whenever something comes public domain, they're like oh, is there going to be a Popeye murder one now? And I think, somebody did make a trailer.
Speaker 3:Well, they got the Popeye. He's coming out as a movie, but the Rock's playing him.
Speaker 4:Oh my gosh no really no, oh, no way yeah yeah, well, anybody can make it now.
Speaker 1:It's public domain.
Speaker 3:Maybe I'll make it.
Speaker 4:What is? Ah man, Well, I love the Rock, but what is his problem with that stuff?
Speaker 1:What other people have it?
Speaker 4:Does he have to be Popeye? Oh, my goodness.
Speaker 3:So the questions to the listeners out there is does Dwayne have to be Popeye?
Speaker 1:I don't like it when the same actors or actresses play like a million different movies in a year. I don't like that when the same actors or actresses play like a million different movies in a year.
Speaker 3:I don't like that. Give other people chances. It's like Robin Williams when he played Popeye it was one and done. He was out.
Speaker 1:He was playing that crap If something horrific happens or a scandal happens with that one celebrity and you have them tagged to all these freaking movies. You're going to really regret that.
Speaker 4:How much better would Conor McGregor as Popeye be?
Speaker 3:Oh my gosh, that would be cool, man. For those that are tuning in for the first time today hey, welcome. I hope you come back next week.
