I went to Godzilla minus one over the weekend. Had y'all heard of that? Kt?
Joe Michael, anybody have you ever even heard of that? I never heard of it. I missed that one.
Yeah, it's not getting the publicity that normally a blockbuster movie like a Godzilla or King Kong would get because it's not that kind of a movie at all. I just heard that there actually is. Our friend Tim Sanderfer, who is a man of letters twenty twenty six of them had impressive, had tweeted out that this is the this is finally a great monster movie Godzilla. Mines one thought, oh okay, cool, and I was still just picturing like a regular, like we've seen all the god Zilla movies, the modern ones, all the King Kong movies. We've seen Godzilla versus King Kong. We've seen Megaladon one and two, which are the stupidest movies ever made. They're they're they're they're basically Sharknado with a giant shark. More expensive cast, yeah, more expensive actors. But that's I was kind of picturing that, but like maybe better, but no, it's not at all. Godzilla minus one is a Japanese movie subtitles black and white, and it's a hardcore art film. It's like the sort of thing they would make you watch in a college class and then you'd have to write a paper about it. It's way closer to that than a than a blockbuster movie, and so you don't hear as much about it. And it was huge in Japan. It's doing pretty well in the United States. It has had some Oscar nominations. Uh. I don't know how to explain minus one. I guess it's a translation thing. It means Japan was so far beaten down at the end of World War Two that they were like blow world something.
That's what the minus one means.
And this movie is featured at the very end of World War two and the and the aftermath, when we had just reduced it to rubble, even before we dropped to the atomic bombs. It was rubble and it's featured in Tokyo mostly, and they're just people living like cavemen, the people that are still alive, scrounging for food, trying to push some boards and rocks together to have something to keep you out of the rain. You know, you're by yourself because your whole family's dead, and you team up with some old lady who the rest of her family's dead and you try to make a go of it.
Is this a comedy.
It's a comedy sort of in line with like sort of The Three Stooges meets Jim Carrey. Yeah, yeah, No, it is not a comedy obviously, and starring Will Ferrell exactly a lot of Will Ferrell makes a cameo. Jack Black plays a prominent role.
Nice.
Now.
It's a very heavy movie and uh long, parts of it are silent. There's not a sound, no music, nobody talking, no nothing, and it's so quiet in the theater.
It's just like weird.
I don't think I've ever been to a movie that got silent for that long before.
Wow. Wow's that's interesting.
And I'm not going to try to describe it because I couldn't, but just making the point that by the climactic scene where, like with all Godzilla King Kong movies, you know it's time to finally, like really confront the monster with your best plan to bring him down and save humanity. You know that has featured in all of those Megaladon or Jaws or whatever. When it gets to that final scene, you feel way more like you're watching Saving Private Ryan or Band of Brothers or something.
Then you do a monster movie.
I mean, like the director managed to make it like you don't even think about it being Godzilla in a giant radioactive creature that can stomp on people in crushed buildings somehow, like that doesn't even matter anymore. It's all about humanity in wartime and sticking together and overcoming adversity and just you know, it's just it's hard to explain. I thought it was phenomenal, and no longer eything seems. It doesn't even seem weird that you're like tugging at my heartstrings in a Godzilla movie.
I don't know. Yeah, wow, that's such an interesting like.
Union of being invested in characters and how that affects your willingness to suspend disbelief.
Right, Yeah, yes, that is exactly it.
I think that was like the Harry Potter formula, though that's obviously fantasy and everybody knows it well.
And this was as gritty, realistic as any movie I've ever seen. And it featured a giant monster that can crush buildings under its feet, which doesn't seem like it'd be possible in terms of the theater going experience. And there's hardly anybody at that this Saturday night, seven o'clock. I think there were a total of ten people in there. Wow, because nobody's heard of it, and that's an art film. And my youngest kid didn't like it much. He didn't like the reading. There's a lot of reading really fast and his reading is not quite up to and a lot of really hard words, so he just couldn't quite keep up with it. But my eighth grader loved it, thought it was really really good. It was it was a powerful movie. But the whole movie going experience in the modern world, everybody's got such a great TV with a cool sound system, you got that whole thing. Although I've noticed this before, I have walked out of many movie theaters and my life like rattled in some way. Either like you know, down emotionally or inspired emotionally, or fired up emotionally, or something like that.
And I don't know if that ever happens when I watch on TV. I think it probably does.
I think being at home you get back to your set point a lot more quick.
I think that's it.
Well, and you have control to turn it off and change it. But I always feel like leaving.
I always feel like a walk out of movie theaters and everybody's quiet because they're just like so affected by what you saw in.
One way or another. And I never feel that way at home. H Really, I don't think anyway.
Maybe there's a I think there's something about and I think I was right the first time. When you leave a movie, other than like zipping up your jacket, all you're doing is walking to your putting on.
My shoes, putting on my shoes, because I take off my shoes and socks put them on the seat in front of me.
That guy, No, I do not. But that's funny.
So even if you're checking your phone or whatever, you have three to five minutes where you're doing nothing but thinking about what you've just said.
Maybe that's it.
Whereas you know you turn off the TV at home and then you would go.
Do something and get the kids to bed or whatever.
Right, yeah, yeah, But the dude, dude, when your kids were younger, did you buy them treats.
To go to the movie occasionally? See?
I grew up in a family where we never did. It wasn't even a consideration. It's like, we're not getting that stuff because it's too expensive. That's fine, ye already eight, I'm not thirsty. If I'm thirsty, I'll go get a drink of water at the drinking vun.
I knew a family that would hide the treats and moms purse.
But yeah, you know I used to bring out we'd smuggle in h popcorn in our pockets.
I used to bring beer to the movies all the time. You gotta wait for a loud part. You gotta wait for God'szilla to scream before you open your beer. If you open your beer during the silence, is the baby gonna die or not seen?
Your girl has mastered opening a bottle of champagne in a movie.
Nice style points.
I remember one time when I kicked over my empty bottle of beer and it.
Rolled all the way down.
Click clicking it click, oh yeah, and then what you do is you start looking around like what is that?
If you're just gonna used who is doing that?
Somebody brought in some unauthorized food or drink and.
I can't believe somebody would do that, and I'll see it.
I think we should pause the movie and go through everybody's pockets since we can find out who this mystery into is. But I think I am gonna tell my kids, mostly for the noise reason, partly for the money reason. No, we're not doing this next time. Let's eat before we go. We can even stop and get a treat, but we're not gonna buy stuff at the theater.
One. I don't want to listen to you eating and drinking.
Oh right, if I took the drink away from one of my kids, like doneenough, because he kept doing the at the bottom, you know, trying to get the last two SIPs through the ice thing like quit, I took it out of his hand and put it in my couple.
You blessed every other person with the same sound issue in that in that theater.
That right, So between the noise.
The cost, we spent fifty bucks at the concession stand.
Jeez, that's nuts. With the modern inflation. Yeah, two kids. I got swolves, but I got in the largest.
I don't know.
I had to get a loan.
I had to apply for a loan and somebody would had to be there to fill up my paperwork and look at my credit score.
So if this movie is successful, they've got to, you know, continue the theme. And I you know, on the radio show, I it's throughout the idea King Kong. It anteat them then, I don't know, maybe sas Squatch at a house fire where a family loses their house and he takes them in or eats them.
Or I don't know, Frankenstein's list, if Frankenstein had done Shindler's List.
There you go. Now you're thinking, yeah, i'd watch it.
Yeah, I told people, and I got a dad. I said, it's way closer to Dos Boot than it is to King Kong.
Right.
Count Dracula is a gifted cancer doctor, but he has a blood addiction.
Right, But he's noble, but he just can't he's a junkie. Yeah, exactly, something like that. Yeah, that'd be a hit.
The Mummy in Philadelphia, So you got the dying AIDS guy in the Mummy.
Yeah, they're hanging out together. Yeah, plot twist solving crimes or something. They're actually lovers, Who's solve crimes?
My wife and I tried to sneak fahitas into the theater at one time.
Really hot and I forgot the hot pants which really really.
Yea and it was sizzling and everything.
This is the Armstrong and Getty Show, featuring our podcast one more thing, get it wherever you like to get podcasts.
The tease was too many pansy ass kids. This is referring to this particular mom who went on the screed in her kitchen with a glass of wine in her hand.
I got a call from my kid's assistant principal today because he and his other friend were playing soccer with this other kid at recess. The other kid happened to want to be the goalie and apparently he sucked, and so he got really upset because the other boys kept scoring goals on him.
And there was no teasing involved. I verified, it was.
Just he was so upset that the kids kept scoring goals that he went to the teacher and cried about it, and my kid and the other kid.
Got brought to the principal's office.
Do not call me because some soft ass kids feelings got hurt because some kid is better than him at sports. Stop coddling your kids, especially your sons.
Because let me tell you right now, what no.
Woman wants someday is to have to coddle their husband.
Stop raising pansy ass kids.
Teach your kids how to be confident in themselves and how to emotionally freaking figure their out, and stop with the bs.
We got this text in response to play in that earlier Oh my god, I love that recording you just played. This is so true. Mike kids school has a no running on the playground rule.
Wow. Always what Mike de.
Spy is that I could I could throw on the black bandana and slit throats to quote H. L.
Menkin over that what. No, I'm just missing something. No, you're not too dangerous.
My kids' school they don't have it all the time, but if it has rained anytime in the last week, you're not allowed to run because the grass could be do it.
I think I'm a fascist for even talking about this. According to something I read, But when we conduct the great experiment of conservatives get half the country and progressives get the other half, and we see how it goes, there's going to be all the run, and you've I almost dropped an f bom, which I can't, I suppose, but I'd prefer not too. You can run all the f and much you want. In conservative America, kids go out there, play soccer, skin your knees, get sweaty, get to blow off steam. Then we'll get back to school and learn. Well, we'll compare test scores at the end of it. Bitches.
Huh. We used to.
Love the play soccer on wet fields and we would slide in the hit.
That was part of the fun, even after it would rain on the on the cement outside.
We used to run and pretend we were skateboarding and try to see who.
Could slide the farthest. Oh, I got my I hurt myself so many times doing that. But it was a blood none of that. None of that anymore.
Good lord, think of the liability, Katie, you maniac god.
And we played kill the man with the ball and the porn rain all the time, and I mean that was a violent game.
You know.
I realized people are self selecting, and not to some extent anyway.
And I'm not exactly a Navy seal, nor I please what.
Uh but uh, people are self selecting to some extent anyway. But I so want to figure out a way to do this because they're like schools, charter schools, like the John Adams Academy, and there are other examples that like do school the way school ought to be done, and you can run all you want at recess and you learn and you learn the important stuff and you behave in class and the kids come out all smart and educated.
It works. It works.
And the fact that government union schools now don't work, as you know, an indictment on them. But I would love to start some sort of I don't know, colony or outpost.
I guess it's called idoh.
Conservatania, and there would be no ugliness, no racism, no, you know, it would not be some sort of you know Mika Brazinski's fever dream of what a conservative place would be. Everybody would get their constitutional rights, and by God, we would enforce that and if you break anybody's rights, we break your neck.
Anyway, I would so love to conduct that experiment. Yeah, I would like to see it play out.
Also, so she finishes up, my son got sent to the office and received a citation for running on the playground. So there's that issue that's mostly to do with lawyers and the way our court system works and juries. So I don't even know what to do about that because the school would tell you. Look, I think it's freaking stupid too, But we are just told we're going to lose our insurance policy if we let kids run on the school in school and get to anybody gets hurt. So what are you going to do so that I hate that for that's own thing, then you have this different topic. The school also told the kids they are no longer allowed to play kickball because the kids spent so much time arguing about the kids cheating. Way to teach the kids, not how to work through conflict. That's not the lawyers or the insurance company. That's the We think conflict is always bad, and so we're going to solve the conflict by not letting them play.
They do this at my kid's school too.
Like when I was a kid, a lot of us would bring our own nerve, football, our own glove or ball or bad or whatever. You're not allowed to bring any sporting equipment because one kids might fight over it, or you might have a nicer football than the other kid does, and.
That make them feel bad and all that sort of stuff. I know, we're doomed, Katie, We're doomed as the society. So they have a liarded number.
They have a limited number of balls and there's like three and whoever gets to them first gets to play during recess with him, and nobody else gets to.
Okay, I apologize for taking it back to this place. But so all of this is going on. But these kids can decide to identify as something else or right all.
Yeah, yeah, exactly, you can. You can change into a different sex. The secret be can't run in the yard.
Yeah, you can make moves to mess them up hormonally for the rest of their lives.
But don't you run on that wet grass.
Yeah, it's pretty amazing that those two things are happening at the same time.
You know. Speaking of which, and here's a preview of a screed you'll hear on the air in the next day or two, there are some fairly high profile lawsuits that are going to go the right way against the gender bending cruel experiments on kid's crowd.
They're going to bring them to their knees, and.
We need more and more and more of that these And I don't mean to seem like I'm gloating because it's a tragedy, but some of the victims of these ideological lunatics are starting to move into adulthood and realize what's been done to them and are not happy about it. It can't happen fast enough.
Jack, Armstrong and Joe the Armstrong and Getty Show.
Hey, we're Armstrong and Getty. We're featuring our podcast one more Thing. Find it wherever you find all your podcasts.
This was so funny.
I've been wanting to bring this to the radio show, but it just haven't gotten around to it. It's a story that is ostensibly about a judge in Beverly Hills who got pissed off that they're not cooperating with the states' laws for affordable housing. And the headline is in Beverly Hills, no kitchen remodels or pool grottos, as judge orders building moratorium over lack of affordable housing. Essentially, he blocked the city from issuing any building permits for anything, no matter how necessary or silly or mundane or whatever, until they approved a sufficient blueprint for affordable housing.
So I got a nice piece of property. I got a lot of money.
But a judge's saying, you don't need a grotto until we have more housed poor people.
Right, Lets you expand your garage or remodel your kitchen or put.
In a pool or anything. Wow, And that's what it gets done. Yeah, Now that's freedom the property I own.
Somehow me taking my money and getting a grotto next to my pool has anything to do with poor people getting more housing.
That is really a weird world you live in. Well, and it's.
Clearly an activist judge who's taking politics into his own hands and trying to make a point. And it's it's in terms of property rights. It's an absolute nightmare, absolute nightmare. That's just a terrible way to look at the world though. I mean, that's just if you.
If somebody I don't even know gets a nicer stuff that makes me less happy, that's just weird.
I think it's just leverage.
It's purely leverage, and it's it's indefensible, I think.
But if I were going to defend it, I would hit you with the rest of the story.
Okay, Can the late Paul Harvey sue me for that or his or his kin folk. That was parody anyway, So they quote various people about how outrageous it is and the rest of it. But then they get into that Beverly Hills where entrepreneurs and entertainers from Jeff Bezos to Leonardo DiCaprio and Taylor Swift own mansions, opulent hotel attract well heeled visitors and glamorous boutiques make rodeo dry blah blah blah shopping.
Blah blah blah, and so okay, great.
We all know that, but I hadn't realized. I'm only dimly aware of the fact that there's a fifty year old state law that requires local governments to plan for a growing population and allow people of all incomes to live in every community. It's like an anti Nimby law not in my backyard.
Passed in nineteen seventy ish seventy.
Five ish to make sure that the growing population would be would be accommodated everywhere in California, and like rich Enclaves couldn't keep people out. Maybe you like that idea, maybe you don't, But Beverly Hill's efforts to evade that are hilarious, hilarious and that's the part of the article. I'm glad I read the whole thing, because you'd never know it from the first you know, quite a few paragraphs. So in nineteen seventy, the population of Beverly Hills was thirty three thousand, four hundred thirty three thousand, four hundred. Today it is thirty two thousand and four hundred, so it's declined by a thousand people. Over the same period, the number of California residents has nearly has doubled to nearly forty million people. So while the population of California's doubled, Beverly Hills found a way to kick out a hundred one thousand people and become even more exclusive.
I didn't know Beverly Hills itself was that small. And aside, having just read the Charlie Chaplin autobiography, his good friend Douglas Fairbanks, famous actor, had a ranch there, and he go out to Douglas Fairbanks ranch and they would ride horses. They love being in Beverly Hills because it was so far from Los Angeles and the roads were so bad, just one rutted dirt road that nobody would come out there to visit. So they are all alone. Isn't that interesting to picture? Yeah, near early twentieth century?
And who was who was the actor I read about? He was kind of Fred McMurray. I think it was who was the dad on my three sons? And you know he'd play the stiff, upstanding, stoic guy in movies, or maybe a cowboy or something like that. But here was his fine actor, but not a big star.
But I think it was him, And don't as sue me if I'm wrong, But he said, wow, La Metro seems to be growing out in this direction.
I'll bet it'd be a good investment to.
Buy a load of land out in Beverly Hills and San Fernando Valley wherever it was.
And he became like mind boggling wealthy through that and was like.
An institution in that area just because he had foresight about real estate.
Anyway, so we've gotten a little off track, but it doesn't matter who cares.
So anyway, they have been incredibly effective, having no population growth, no poor people know nothing, in defiance of all state law, says Thomas White, chair of the Municipal League, a sixty year old civic organization. We have intentionally created a desirable environment by deliberately avoiding over development and over densification.
Yeah, that's what we all want.
Yeah, So over densification is kind of funny.
So under the law state every eight.
Years, the state of cal Unicornea, which is of course where realism goes to die, tells all cities how many new homes they need to accommodate every eight years. In the cycle before this one, Beverly Hills total was three, an amount so miniscule given the depths of California's housing problems that it invited national attention. So in an effort to combat widespread housing affordability, reduce carbon emissions, blah blah blah, there have been a series of unrealistic laws passed in California. No longer would wealthy enclaves get a pass, citing the discriminate to effects of low density zoning laws and research showing better economic and health outcomes for low income families that can move to richer areas. So in the current period, Beverly Hills target under the housing plan jumped to thirty one hundred and four homes.
So from what was it before two three?
So from three to thirty one hundred homes you've got to build them, and three quarters of them have to be affordable to low and middle income residents.
That, yeah, how old hey do that?
Well, So Beverly Hills, which of course has lots and lots of super rich lawyers there and can can figure out a way around these laws, kept putting forth plans for how they're going to provide, you know, thousands of new affordable housing units, and the state has rejected five in a row now, most recently in December. California Housing Department officials the city is overestimating how many of its commercial properties could add residential development and criticize the plan on fair housing grounds because it wasn't putting housing in the cities wider and more affluent areas.
All right, I know this seems kind of dry to you. Here's what I'm working up to.
The judge after they rejected the latest plan, pointed out that Beverly Hills is counting on medical office buildings and car dealerships to convert to housing, despite the city's own concession that it's unlikely to happen. For instance, in their plan, they set an audi dealership on Wilshire Boulevard that was just renovated as a car dealership. It could be turned into forty one apartments.
And of course you go to the Audi dealer and he's like, what the hell are you talking about?
And so Beverly Hills is cooking up these utterly fictional plans to the state. Yes, we're going to turn the Audi dealer into forty one affordable apartments.
And the I was gonna say, McDonald's. I don't suppose. There's probably McDonald's in Beverly Hills. I don't know.
But and of course this grocery store is going to become three hundred units.
And again you go to the.
Grocery store owner and they're like, I have no idea what you're talking about.
This is a profitable grocery store. We have no plans to change it. And so the.
Super rich, who I guarantee you if you pulled them, would be left of Obama, right, they'd be left of Bernie Sanders. They haven't voted for an R in one hundred and ten years, are doing are going to extraordinary.
Lengths to evade all of this stuff.
This is the sort of thing Tucker Carlson Noyse used to talk about that I was early on board with is how a lot of your powerful lefties are in favor of all these policies that don't affect them. They're fine with it affecting everybody else, Like ninety nine point nine percent of people just not that top wrong. We don't want a legal immigration to get into our neighborhood, We don't want to have you know, low housing, income housing and our neighbors, but all of the rest of the state should.
I mean, it's classic socialism. Really, the very people, the very top like all this equality. As long as long as.
I get more than everybody else, there should be plenty of equality beneath me, right right, freaking maddening.
It's like when you see those Man on the Street videos where the guy goes up to the people participating in the Sanctuary city protest where everybody gets a home and they're welcome, and goes, okay, we'll let them come to your house. I'm like, uh, well, I don't have room, and no, it's everybody else's problem.
I would love to see a list of Gavin Newsom's top one hundred donors and then see a map of their homes and how close any affordable housing is to them or even like a house that the median income earner in California could afford. I'll bet it's like miles to the nearest house that's under a million bucks, I mean for a million.
Yeah.
Well, I hate this sort of law in general, but if you're gonna let the super wealthy and connected getaway with not having to obey it, it's like ten times worse.
Yeah.
Yeah, you know, there's plenty I disagree with Tucker on these days, but that point he makes, it's what, Oh gosh, who's Peggy Noonan. We're talking about her editorial recently that was so good about why Trump has as much support as he does, and she was talking about the protected.
Class and the unprotected class.
You can unleash whatever stupid ass policies or decisions or economic moves or whatever. The protected class isn't going to suffer an iota. They'll be perfectly fine. And that's what we're talking about here, the protected class that has gone to lengths that are utterly comedic to make sure their neighborhoods remain exclusively enclaves of the super rich and powerful, even while demanding the rest of us, you know, go through whatever gyrations they demand.
To do the good that they think a happening.
Do they know how hypocritical they are when they are on stage getting their oscar and talking about equality in the downtrodden, but they won't let any lower income housing in their neighborhood. I mean, do they realize that or do they somehow do some mental gymnastics to get.
Out of that.
I think, in my experience, including my personal experience inside my own head, human beings have an unbelievable capacity to shove something out.
Do they actually believe they're of like a different cast that.
Doesn't I think they again, they have like a lurking guilt.
But they keep it at bay or I donate so much to charity that it's fine. That doesn't allow Yeah.
Well, and and the drop and property values would be absolutely catastrophic, and you just you can't ask. I would not ask somebody in you know, the San Fernando Valley, name your you know, your your suburb. I would not ask somebody to have that sort of burden personally. And and so then they get to portray themselves as I'm I'm actually I'm not standing up for me. I'm standing up for middle class people who who don't want to see it. So it needs to be done carefully. I'm in favor of affordable housing, but it needs to be done in a way that's smart and efficient. And and wait a minute, what else would oh And recognizes environmental imperatives as right, right, right, And we have a.
Great deal of green space here in Beverly Hills, and I employ so many people.
I employ gardeners and pool people and a grotto scrubber.
Jeez, grotto scrubber ever ruined the word grotto? Yeah, exactly. Grottos are no longer enjoyable.
You used to like to go to the Fisherman's Grotto in San Francisco when it was still open.
Never again, it's ruined. You get mild owing, your mildew and your grotto.
Oh, I.
Rush cross. Usually you're the one that keeps the class in the operation. What are you doing? Yeah, I don't know. I've given up Jack Armstrong and Joe Armstrong and Getty Show.
This is the Armstrong and Getty Show, featuring our podcast one more Thing, get it wherever you like to get podcasts.
So this song, do enough people know the original song for this to I guess we're assuming so it was a.
Big hi and if you don't you know grab it.
It was about a kid going over to his friend's house and he recognizes that his friend's mom is kind of hot and he wishes he could get with her.
Well, yeah, specifically he's going over to his girlfriend's house thinking I don't want to be with you, I want to be with your.
Mom, sortid. And so we've got that. I haven't heard this thing other setup requird king.
This is it's basically talking about how now.
That we're older, this song is okay, gotcha, Okay.
I have so many questions now for Stacy's mom. Stacy's mom, like why did she come out with just a towl? That's a good question, towel on when she knew that kid was gone and low her grass, low her grass. Stacy's mom is like the people Chris Hansen would have dancing with name and I know growing up it was a fantasy, but he's a little different now then I'm thirty three. Stacy's she put some clues hesus and pease so wrong.
Stac cancy s it's gonna.
Be a feeling me.
Something that's a pretty clever.
That's funny. I missed that one line in the middle that you guys thought was so funny being caught by Chris Hansen, the guy who does the Predator. Yeah, that is funny.
You're seeming like one of the people Chris Hansen would ca a hatch answer would catch.
Oh that's beautiful.
He goes on and one of the things he goes could you imagine if it was Stacy's dad, how bad?
It's Oh yeah, but you're right.
You got your daughter's teenage boyfriend at the house.
You don't come out and just a towel and flaunt it.
That makes you a weirdo, could be a felony.
I'm thirty three seems kind of weird. Something's wrong with Stacy's mall.
I always the thing I liked about Fountains of Wayne was how they were willing, did not take themselves seriously at all with like pooh ooh ooh. Nobody nobody would sing that like pooh ooh ooh, no no, And then it's perfect, incredibly well crafted pop music.
I mean really good.
My son, my twelve year old's favorite song from that album, he just loves it so much, as that one about I'm Gonna get my together.
Oh I can't live like this forever? Yeah, yeah, yeah, Mountains of Wayne, may they flow forever in our hearts.
I was actually surprised, and then I'll be done talking about fountains wayn because I don't know how many people know who that band is. But they have several songs, quite a few songs that are about modern life, about like the modern workplace. And I thought, Okay, that's gonna become a thing because it's so relatable for young people, you know, in their experiences with modern workplace.
But it hasn't.
And I don't know why, but I thought that would become a genre of music, you know, just modern cubicle life, cubical rock.
Yeah, that does sound attractive. Wow, Well, they have several songs that are great about it.
But that's actually brilliant because think about the show The Office, How that took coffee?
Ye did that musically exactly? Also known as cashier pop, dead end job? Yeah, what does bts? The Korean kids sing about love and of.
