The Intersection
The Intersection 9/6/2024
[music] And welcome to the intersection on this Friday night with me already is Charlie. And I thought we'd have a night of fun since we didn't do one last night. So far it's just you and me, so let's talk a little bit about what happened in Austin today. I'd mute, I'd mute, sorry, I had to mute, well, I ran the... No, I haven't left to a house today, so what happened in Austin? Oh, today was Tribune Fest. And Liz Cheney was interviewed. In Austin? In Austin at Tribune Fest. Ooh, here comes Diana. Wow. So the Texas Tribune is an online news network, Texas Tribune, and today this weekend is their Tribune Fest, which is a big, big deal, lots of politicals from both sides of the aisle usually show up. There was an interview of Liz Cheney, and we know that Liz Cheney is voting for Kamala Harris. Guess who else is? Yeah, I saw it, they put it in the chat. Her dad. Her dad. So I assume it is snowing in Houston? Because clearly it was clearly present over. There is something upon which Dick Cheney and I agree. I ever thought you'd see the day. Nope. All right, so I thought we'd just spend the day. There were also some interesting developments in court, but I'm not an attorney, and I'd like us to have somebody with some sort of background in legal. Not necessarily an attorney, but you could be a paralegal or something. Somebody who is very familiar with the world of politics, of law, in particular, you know, the kind of stuff that is going on with Trump. We saw Hunter Biden played guilty, or he did some other kind of a plea, which was not an admission of guilt, but sort of a concession. You mean, Hunter did? Hunter did. No contest or something like that. Yeah, something like that, something like that, but it wasn't, there was a special word for it. And the attorneys I was watching on Ms. Lawfare were saying that they had never actually had one of their clients plead whatever this was. So, again, this is one of those things, like I really, I don't want to get deep into it because I know nothing about the law. I've been obsessively watching, like, on Ms. M. E.C., all I watch are the attorneys, which are Lawrence or Donald and Ari Milber and Katie Fang. I really, obviously, only watch Kay Fang when she's on one of the other prime time shows. I should watch a weekend show, but I don't. But, yeah, and I watched a ton, there's a ton of attorneys that have shows on the Midas Touch Network on YouTube, so I've been watching all of those folks. And I'm embarrassed to say that after I've watched them, I know less than I did when I started because I understand, like, is this corn? And they plugged this and there was this, you know, and the judge said this to that, and I'm like, okay, yeah. Probably more will come out in the general public, you know, once it starts rolling out more, you know, they'll have to explain it. Yeah, well, thank you. Well, it's just there are so many different things happening in so many courts with different judges and justices and all of it around Donald Trump. But, you know, to keep track of it, you need, like, you need, like, one of those big charts. I like that. You need a program. You need a program. That's what you need. You need a program. A spreadsheet. A spreadsheet. It's a beautiful mind, like, the wall with all the lines and the P.M. You're going, tell me. Yes. That's what you need. It's something like, you know. All the crime shows. I do a mystery. Crime shows have. Yeah. Yeah. Like, on Castle, where they have that sort of glass wall where they stick. Yeah. Pictures to it and stuff and draw with the marker. Wow. I'm really going back. I kind of remember. Yeah. Yeah. Castle seems like a new reference to me. I know it's been off the air for a while now. And he had, like, this whole other show. The rookie's been on for a, you know, long enough for him to no longer be a rookie. Yeah. But if it didn't come on when I was a kid, then it's a new show. Right. If it came on this century. Yeah. That's recent. In my book, I don't know. I think it was barely on this century. Yeah. All right. Start getting SD1's been off for 20 years, so. Wow. All right. I'm going to go. I'm going to start with Charlie and I'll go and order Ray's joined us. So we got Charlie, Diana, and Ray. And I'm going to let you pick a color. Your choices are purple, pink, and green. So Charlie, pick a color. I'm going to go with green. All right. Green. Green it is. Great one. Category is space missions. Ah. There you go. Once again. Right. Okay. Charlie, which astronaut blasted off in 2015 for a year long stay at the International Space Station as the subject of an identical twin study? Well, yeah, I'm afraid you got me there. I have no idea. What identical twins are also astronauts, one of which is a U.S. senator? Oh, well, now you've given it away. There's got to be Mark Kelly and his brother, uh, Bill. I don't know what the brothers name is. His brother's name is Scott, and it's Scott Kelly is the one that was there for a year. All right. Yeah. And we're just going to go through this whole card. And then Diana, you'll get to pick the next, uh, kickle color. All right. So Diana, on what kind of celestial body did this speedy little probe fly lie? P-H-I-L-A-L-A-E. See you lie. Bye. Bye. Bye. Philly, maybe. Yeah. Cause my life, the way I pronounce, spell my name as I ended with an A and an E and a brainy friend of my family. That's pronounced Diana. The Greek pronunciation would be Diana, which is like a plural. Which is like a pluralization. Yeah. It's your mind. So finally, maybe. I guess I'll be finally. Yeah. All right. Stick a landing in 2014. What kind of celestial body did the speedy little probe stick a landing in 2014? A brother. I'm thinking it's a moon. Um, maybe one of Jupiter's moons. Not a moon.

Wayne, what large hairy spider is a popular snack in Cambodia served fried and seasoned with salt, sugar, and garlic? Oh my gosh. A ratula. That is correct. Oh, geez. And I think we've established many times on this show that we don't like spiders and snakes, but that's not what it takes to love us. Oh, I've never heard that one. I have nothing. I have no problem with spiders and snakes. So don't include me. Oh, okay. We've talked about it on many shows where it was agreed that most of us did not like spiders and did not like snakes. I was playing with my ultimate nightmare. I haven't even seen that movie. I haven't seen it. I've just heard about it. And we've had a few questions about it. Yeah. Same here.

I don't know. Okay. Go to Charlie. Callo. There you go. That was if you ever want to see something hilarious. John Hodgman, 2009, the Radio and Television Journalists Award Dinner, sought out to prove that Obama was our first nerd core president. And he gave him a series of questions that one was the name of Superman, the birth name of Superman, or maybe it was the name of his dad. But what was funny was as he was calling out these nerd questions, my husband in the other room is shouting out the answers. And he got everyone right. Superman's dad's name was Jor-El, by the way. Jor-El. Yeah. There we go. I couldn't think of it by when he sounded like that. Yeah. Alright. So Charlie, which actor from T.N.E.'s numbers named his daughter two in 2001, which is very punny when paired with his last name? Oh, I was going to say Rob for it, Rob Morgan. You're closed.

You know in Germany they wouldn't be able to do that. Oh, really? No. You can't do it. That's a good thing. Yeah. That's a huge. That's how we used to do that. Yeah, I know. We'll keep with that name. That's just wrong. And name like that. All right. Who am I on? Ray? Okay. Man versus Wild Adventure shares a name with Kate Winslet's son who was born in 2013.

I'm sorry. Go. Ah! I feel like it's very credit. Yeah. I feel like, especially if you're like our age, it is the most that you be able to quote Monty Python movies. Yeah. And skits. And skits. Yeah. And then you don't... I don't care. It's just a flesh wound. Yeah. I don't care either. You chicken and wings and see the bones and that go bomb bones. Look at the bone. Sparrow, sparrow, sparrow, sparrow. [Laughter] It's a damn... Time to take a message and spam, spam and spam, spam, spam, spam, spam, spam. Sorry. He's pining for the fjords. Stop pining his past on. He's joined the choir invisible. [Laughter] That's my favorite joint. I'm okay. I'm okay. I'm okay. I'm not good yet. [Laughter] I'm kidding. That's all. [Laughter] I loved during the George Floyd protests where someone made a Reddit post. That was quoting the constitutional peasant from Monty Python and the Holy Grail. It says something to the effect. Well, I didn't vote for him. I think, you know, it goes into that. And Fox News carried it like it was fact. [Laughter] Because they apparently knew one on that show had ever seen Monty Python. And the Holy Grail. [Laughter] I don't find that hard to believe. They saw it. They don't remember. You know, I brought that up in my Toastmasters. And I did Toastmasters that Monday. I did the table topics. And there was actually a couple of people that had never seen Monty Python and the Holy Grail. And I'm like, no. You have to go back and do your research. Sorry. [Laughter] Go home and watch it. Go home and watch it. Go home and watch it. Your homework is. Go on and try to find the Holy Grail. I'm sure it's streaming somewhere. It's not. You can watch clips of it all over YouTube. [Laughter] All right. All right. All those smells like other berries. And your father is a hamster. [Laughter] Oh, they look good. Oh, okay. All right. Let's see. Where are we? We are at time to go. That's where we are. Yeah. Oh, well, it's been a fun one. Yeah. If you say something before you go, you can start your feel. I went out to see Beetlejuice tonight. Oh, you're good? And it is really good. Okay. I'm going to work. Yeah. I was afraid it was equal, even though 36 years later. But it's definitely in the theater if you can. It's very much worth it. Well, and I'm very cool. I watched Michael Keaton interview about it. And apparently the new one is just as low tech as the original. Yeah. Which I love. How do you call that? Yeah. He goes right into that role. I think like he just did it yesterday. Yeah. Oh, great. He said the production or the people on the set were amazed. He just, just like putting on a suit together. Yeah. It's so good. Is it okay if you don't remember the details of the first one? Does it not? Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. You don't have to. Yeah. But for, yeah, there is a lot for people that got a nerd out about it. Yeah. Of course, you can always string the original before you get to see it. Yeah. Yeah. I'm thinking I want to see it again, but yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And they do a different, well, I won't say, but it's a lot of stuff that was made. The first one, good, they kind of did their own version of it. I'll put it that way. Yeah. I just remember the first one. I was like, so blown away by how over the top. Yeah. Like, what the hell is this? It was such a, it was so good. I love all those early Michael Keaton comedy movies. Yeah. Those are, those to me are the best ones. I, one of my podcasts I listened to did, they do this thing called the rewatchables. It's called, that's the name of the podcast, actually the rewatchable. And they go through all these old movies that they think are rewatchable. And they just did a night shift, which was one of his breakout, breakout movie, I guess. Yeah. Night shift is my favorite. I love night shift. Is that with Henry Winkler? Yeah. Yeah. And Charlie Long. Yeah. It was so good. That's, that's when he got discovered. It's like, because he was just so, just over the top. It was run Howard within it. Oh, he, we're on Howard directed it. He wasn't in it. Richard Belzer was in it. Yes. Yes. Yeah. They say Kevin Costner played a, like a cameo role in the, when they're doing the frat party scene. But I don't, I couldn't see him. It was kind of chaotic, but they said he was in it. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I don't know how many times I've watched that maybe, but I've watched it again. If I was on, because it's just, it's so fun. It's so nice to go. Um, but we'll just, a lot of the original people, Winona Ryder reprises her role. Is Lydia. Yeah. And then the mother, um, Katherine O'Hara, she's in it. Yeah. There's a few of the original people. But yeah, they, they just, they, you don't have to have seen the other one, but if you, they connect a lot to the, to the old one. Yeah. It's really, yeah. It's, I was pleasantly surprised because fear is sequels. Like I just love that character so much. And it's in theaters right now? Yeah. Yeah. Well, I could probably get David to go see that because he liked the original. Yeah. You have to. Yeah. You have to let me know what you think of it. I'm sure it's fun. I'm sure it's fun. Uh, but no Lauren Berber. You'll never think, you'll never hear it. The song MacArthur's car and think of it the same way. You know, I tell you, I don't know why this is the only thing that I remember. I used to love watching fashion police with Joan Rivers. Oh, yeah. Yeah. And her daughter. And her daughter Melissa was on it. I don't know if she was on it originally, but eventually she was on it. But there was this one gown that someone was wearing to, you know, Emmys or Oscars or something like that. And it was sort of white with a sort of runny pastel paints and blues. And it had this big puppy skirt. Um, and I just remember Joan Rivers saying who left her cake out in the rain. And it's telling me only Joan Rivers joke, I remember. There you go. But that is exactly what it looked like. It looked like somebody was, you know, wedding cake. You get to be able certain age to know to get back. Right. You have to know someone looked my cake out in the rain. I don't think that I could take it. All right. Jenna, Jenna Ortiz is an and that's been the big draw for the kids. She's the one that played Wednesday. Yeah. Yeah. You know, I don't see why we can't go on for a little bit longer. There was no ramble this evening. So we can make it a little. There's nothing after us. Yeah. Is there ever? No, they're just replaying of other shows, but you know, yeah. Is Alex waiting up for us to stop? No, I don't think so. Um, because I have to start. Yeah, to post the shows. Yeah. I don't know. I don't think so. He'll probably post him tomorrow. I have to start and start the stop and start the encoder on his site and upload the file. There's many times I'm waiting for the show to upload and he doesn't do it until the next day. So that's not unusual. Yeah. Because we're on to late and he wants to go to bed. And obviously he wanted to go to bed tonight. And so. Oh God, I hope he's doing better. Yeah. Did anybody get any more details? Are these details? Is he foul or what? I've heard. No, I haven't. Is that awful picture on Facebook? I know. I would just throw them through Facebook and thought. Oh my God. Yeah. That's really messed up. Yes. I am. Oh, it's superficial, but I'm still. Hmm. Anyway. Well, I guess that's all for tonight. I want to thank you all for joining me here tonight. Thank you. Charlie Diana Ray and Wayne for making this a fun one. As I remember. Are you going to get paid overtime? You will get you will get time and a half net bucks. Okay. Maybe we can start doing like like they do on after business. Oh my God. They're like real things. After midnight. Other than the crime. I never heard of it. Oh, it's so much fun. It comes on CBS after the late show with Stephen Colbert. And it's a, it's a reprise, a reboot of at midnight, which starts now. Oh, it's so much fun. It comes on CBS after the late show with Stephen Colbert. And it's a, it's a reprise, a reboot of at midnight, which starts now. Oh, Chris Hardwick. Chris Hardwick. Yeah. So it's three comedians competing to be funny about stuff on the internet. And they don't have like real prizes. The prizes are like there was one where it was this sort of haunted looking doll that Taylor was in the house from brother and given her the brother game. Yeah. That's where I watch it. I don't, I don't get CBS except for Paramount Plus. Can you stream it later? Yeah. Paramount Plus. You can stream it the next day. Okay. Cause I'm never up at that time. Yeah. It's a pair of Monday, Monday through Thursday. And so the next morning you can watch it. And they just old person question. Of course you can stream it. You can stream everything. Why would I even ask that? Because where's your brain tonight? Ray, remember you're asking about that. I don't know. What happened to your brain? What happened to your hair? I think maybe. I'm totally going bald. It's just got, you got that wild Albert Einstein kind of thing. Yeah. Well, it's just because of the reflection of the light. Oh, okay. My hair is totally white. Oh yeah. Yeah. That's nice. I like the white. It's good. Yeah. It's just kind of like me. Yeah. Almost. Ted Danson, if. Yeah. Yeah, there was something. Oh, I saw a video of Steve Martin getting chosen. A very, very young Steve Martin getting chosen on the dating game. Oh wow. That's great. You know, Tom Sellick was one of the contestants on the dating game. Yeah. Wow. So can you imagine that, you know, your date turns out to me Steve Martin, how much fun was that be? Yeah. I turned gay just for that. He was so young, I think he didn't have gray hair. Didn't you have gray hair yet? Yeah. Yeah. I mean, did he get picked? Did he get picked? Yeah, he was the one that was picked. He was perceived as it was picked. That would have been so much fun to go out with a really young Steve Martin before he became famous. That makes sense, though, because they don't see what they look like. So he's using his wit, you know, and that's what attracted him. Yeah. I mean, that's what attracted me. Did my first husband was his wit? And what unattracted you to him? He's having an affair. Oh, okay. That was the question. That was good. That was good. That was good. That was good. That was good. That was good. That was good. That was good. Ah, you just need to forgive him for that. Let's see. If I hadn't met and married him, I wouldn't have the two kids that I have. And if I hadn't divorced him, I wouldn't have David, who I've now been married to for more than a quarter of a century. You can't regret anything because you have no idea what your decision would have been. You could say, oh, if I had done this, then things would have been, but you don't know that. You don't know shit. I regret is the stupidest emotion we have. Yeah. It really is. Didn't you meet David, like, through one of your kids? Something to do with one of your kids? Well, it was something like that. Right out of grad school, I got a job at Temple, England, in Dival, Texas. There were, like, two apartment complexes worth living in and Lufkin at the time. And so all of the single professionals all lived in one of these two apartment complexes. David had just gotten a job with Lufkin Industries as an engineer. I was at my hottest. I've ever been. How is that possible? I was young. Oh, no, I am definitely not. Let me put it this way. I don't want to look in the mirror when I get out of the shower. Let's put it that way. I am definitely not hot. The hell does. But then I was skinny enough and I had gotten this Budweiser bikini bathing suit. Budweiser labels all over it. It was a bikini. According to David, I looked out like I stepped out of a beer commercial. But all the single adults would hang out by the pool in the afternoon after work. And so that's where I met David the first time. But the way that we got together was really, I was down at the pool with my kids. And Colin was just like three years old maybe, and Jim was eight. Now, Colin might have only been like two. And he had, Colin was wrapped around David's neck with its arms, holding on for their life. And Jim had one of his friends at Spint the Night, and David was throwing pennies into the swimming pool for them to die for. And they pretty well picked him. They were like, you know, like with a stray puppy, mommy, can we keep him? Can we keep him? They immediately adored David as to, by the way, every human and animal I have ever encountered. He has ever encountered. Everybody loves David. Right. He just, everybody loves him. Whether it's, you know, animal or human. Everyone loves David, because he's just that great of a guy. And everyone loves Raymond. There you go. I know he's helped me with my Pokemon rage a lot of times. I remember Mark coming to pick up the kids, and David's parents were at my apartment because it was David's birthday, and I had gotten him to come in for David's birthday. And Mark, I'm walking with Mark to put the kids luggage in his truck. And Mark says, "Amy, you got to marry this guy. Look at his parents. They're like, warden jam cleaver." This is my ex-husband. They told me when we were getting married. He said, "Well, David, if y'all ever get divorced, I'll help you super custody." Oh my God, that happened. Even my ex-husband picked him. Is he like a priest or something? He's a mechanical engineer. He's a nerd. You know, science fiction leader. He's just the nicest person you'll ever meet. He just is. And it just takes a few. I have so many people that hate me. It's crazy. I mean... No, they don't hate me. Well, I only have a couple that hate me. When I married my ex-husband, my maid of honor has not spoken to me since 1998. Why, she was jealous? I don't know why. She never told me. She was supposed to come to the wedding when David and I got married because we got married that next spring. And I did or said something that pissed her off. And she still, to this day, has not spoken to me. I hate that. You've been really close to, all of a sudden, just freaking ignore you. Yeah. I've never done that to anyone, nor can I even understand how people do that. I mean, it's weird. I mean, it hurt them so bad they can't, they can't, they have to hurt you. So that's why they can't tell you. Yeah. Why you, what you did. Yeah. I don't know what the hell it was. Yeah. I don't know why. I did something. Pissed them all. Pissed her off. Oh, I'm glad I'm not the only one that's called through fast. Yeah, I had a private family college for, you know, we knew each other since college is like, you know, 30, more than 30, 40 years or something. And yeah, we just, well, we had disagreement over something, but it wasn't a personal thing. It was kind of a societal, you know, political kind of thing. But it was enough for her to, you know, just, I'm shunned and, you know, it's just. Oh, I've had it happen twice. And I have to say, it was traumatic. Yeah. I mean, it didn't, it wasn't, I wasn't able to just shrug it off. I mean, I still have dreams about it because I just don't understand. Yeah. Yeah. Well, I'm glad this one, she was kind of getting to be a pain. So, in a way, it was kind of so guilty being relieved in a way because I was one of those people that you're just listening to them talk the whole time and they're always all about them, you know. So I was kind of like, oh, good, I don't have to listen to her anymore. Yeah. Yeah, well, I think it was 2015. I found her address in Round Watch. She lives near you, Charlie. And so I'm like, you know what? I'm in Austin. I'm going to go knock on her door. And so I knocked on her door and her husband opened the door. She saw me from across the room and told him to close it. Oh, my God. Wow. Whoa. I could see this person doing that to me too, actually. Whoa. Yeah. And I still, to this day, have no idea why she's been mad at me for a quarter of a century. More than a quarter of a century. Yeah, since Charlie was a CIA agent, and he was kind of... He could go check it out for you. Well, you know, he's even in the right area, because she lives in a row. He could be like the fool or brushman or something. Yeah. Yeah, that you could, you know, I need to check the meter. Yeah. [LAUGHTER] Try to find out. Speak a little Russian. [LAUGHTER] Oh, man, I got to go. All right. We need to end this anyway. Yeah. Sorry, man. I'll wait till you finish the show, if you want. All right. Or whatever. Get to school. [LAUGHTER] Get registered. Get informed. Get politically active and go. And if you don't have anything nice to say, come sit by me. And by the way, if you live in Texas, the last day to register to vote is October 7th. Check your voter registration. They pulled 2 million people off the rolls here. Uh-- And Amy's still hot, so you would want to sit by her. [LAUGHTER] Whoo! Bye, everybody. [LAUGHTER] [MUSIC PLAYING]
