00:01:14.740
florida what's up eric hey anthony hey jimmy great to have you in the studio hi eric
00:01:21.080
I was just thinking back, and I was listening to it earlier on my phone today,
00:01:24.720
driving, because I always listen to old O&A bits at least one or two hours a day driving.
00:01:28.960
It was the one where Heather Mills had the miscarriage,
00:01:31.600
and you guys were coming up with Beatles titles to change it around a little bit.
00:01:40.780
We said, Lady McCartney, stewed tomato out of your feet,
00:01:43.660
and then Jim just was laughing so hard he almost lost his breath.
00:01:47.260
I think of the term stewed tomato probably once a week.
00:01:56.080
It's so funny that years later people will remember the horrid things we said in the name of humor.
00:02:19.420
I mean, look, they did kind of, in most part, let us say what we wanted.
00:02:36.220
This is what a lot of people say, oh, if it was you or your family or this.
00:02:41.860
But we directly made fun of and talked about things that did affect us personally, our own families.
00:02:51.920
And I know the audience, the ONA audience, liked the morbid kind of gallows humor that we were doing.
00:03:05.780
Every time there's a movie about it, we're not going to make movies about the Titanic because people are really cold in the water.
00:03:23.260
It was the sister ship, the Titanic, all the people because of the banks, the people on board.
00:03:35.860
not you know stuff comes up and you go all right that's a little fishy or something but the standard
00:03:42.240
textbook everyone's 9-11 the moon the flat earth i'm so done with you i stop it it's boring
00:03:50.740
and you're just playing dungeons and dragons yeah that's what you're you're just larping as
00:03:56.440
the little boy who solves the mystery yeah shut up it's a lot more exciting life is so much more
00:04:02.200
exciting if there is this conspiratorial upper echelon of government or the Illuminati and
00:04:08.720
they're trying to fool everyone, but you figured it out.
00:04:12.460
You're the guy that finally is cracking the case.
00:04:21.540
You're an autistic incel with skin tags on your neck.
1.00
00:04:32.200
a floor i'm so done with it i can't stand it someone thinks they're cracking they're breaking
00:04:41.780
it wide open they're the ones you're not going to be the guy we all go to yeah for and thank
00:04:47.260
it's not a movie you're not the main character not in a movie and uh whenever i talk about
00:04:55.080
uh nasa and the moon landings the apollo program the latest the artemis ship going around the moon
0.98
00:05:02.280
i get so much crap from people go oh really you still believe in that one lol you you dummy or
00:05:09.260
uh what nothing i've seen from the we never went to the moon or flat earth which is even more
1.00
00:05:16.720
ridiculous idiots nothing i've seen has made me go huh no well now that's interesting because
0.98
00:05:22.860
everything i've seen has been scientifically debunked and not because someone told me
0.99
00:05:30.040
i did my own research and scientifically it works out to a certain conclusion uh and i've never seen
00:05:38.180
anything scientific about the uh conspiratorial side you understand that if it was if the earth
00:05:43.860
was flat every ship captain and every pilot on earth would have to be in on it and they are
00:05:52.960
That every pilot knows that they can't fly beyond a certain thing
00:06:03.520
You know, that's why the South Pole is off limits.
00:06:09.040
There's places set up where you could live and do research.
00:06:13.700
And the moon thing is ridiculous because you think Apollo 11,
00:06:19.540
they finally get to the moon now if it's fake you'd get back and go holy jesus i cannot believe
00:06:26.620
we pulled it off everyone believes it yeah what should we do go back five or six more times let's
00:06:33.100
roll the dice for no apparent reason you did it everyone's convinced but let's do it so many more
00:06:40.380
times that people might catch on and involve a lot more a lot more people and then 60 years later
00:06:47.840
you go let's do it again with artemis let's get a whole new generation of people that have to keep
00:06:54.320
their mouths shut yeah and these the group four astronauts go around the moon and uh they have to
00:07:00.120
be quiet and we have to new technology of cgi and this why would you do that what's the upside and
00:07:06.260
listen we're going to ask someone from nasa to do it let's go to stanley kubrick yeah let's go to
00:07:12.840
kubrick one of the biggest directors on earth he'll keep his mouth shut he'll keep his mouth
00:07:17.540
shut and we might not recognize his directing style absolutely how many kubrick movies have
00:07:22.780
come out before that that have a kubrick look a directing style and you're going to use someone
00:07:29.100
with such a unique style to do something to fool everyone that it isn't the first
00:07:34.160
your son is attempting to bring an outside astronaut into this situation
00:07:39.700
