Mini Crush #166

Crap here, I am caught on in the little stuck stuck, stuck in it's yet caught stuck. Clowns to lift me, guys doing his best. Bob Dylan, that man, Bob Dylan is the lazy vocal that launched a thousand lazy vocals. I love it. I'm not dissing it. I love his vocal, but like Tom Petty, is kind of a more accessible Bob Dylan voice. You know what I mean? Well, I mean uh, He's one of the only people who has

a vocal style named after him which is Dylan esque. Yes, it's very dylonesk not very many people yet, but there's varying degrees of it. Like I said Tom Tom Petty to me is the much more buttoned up kind of like version of that. And then you've got who else is Dylan esque? I don't know Brian Ferry album too. Actually, oh is it really? It is? I did not know that. I didn't either. I like Brian Ferry. That's interesting. I wonder if they're all Dylan esque songs. I don't know.

Pitch Or gave it a one point nine. Oh boy, you Pitchfork. They're the worst. They've become the worst worst. They used to be a cool resource for me, like I definitely discovered a lot of new music occasionally, but they just kind of drank their own kool aid a little too much, and that's, you know, they don't know, you know what, you know what rag I used to read NOL and get all my music from Magnet magazine

Magnet Real Real Music Alternatives was the subtitle. Magnet was great, yeah, because they were a little indie, but not like you know, like high falutint indie, and they would still talk about like alternative and like more rock type ags. Yeah, Like the cover of Magnet would be like Dean Ween or Elliott Smith. You know, that's that's the sandbox they were

playing in. But I learned about jeez, I learned about a lot of the bands that ended up being some of my favorite bands that I've never heard of until I read Magnet. Like I mean, the Black Keys. They every year they do a top ten albums that you should know that we're like so small that no one knew about them and the Black Keys. The big come up was on their list that their very first first I was their first album, huh, which is great. I

mean it's their best if you ask me. But I've never really gotten into that super garage e type stuff. Like I like the songs that I like by the White Stripes, but I've never been like a full album guy. But I maybe need to because they're a little all over the place and you have those songs like the White Stripes are the Black Keys the White Stripes, and I just I consider them sort of parking in the same garage, right, Well, I mean, don't tell that to uh.

They're they're they've been in a long I know that battle fight at their kids kindergarten or some ship, right, wasn't it, Like yeah, I think there was even a Rivals episode about that one. I think You're absolutely right, r I p rivals, So Nol, we are going to get going here because I have a surprise for you and for the Crushers surprises. I need you to navigate your way to the move be Crushed with Chuck Bryant facebook page, not the movie Crushers. I can do that, Chuck,

I can do that. And so I borrowed this idea from Crusher Dave Duff. Dave posted over on the Crushers page like somebody should get Verner herd Zog two do it live twenty four hour narration of the ships stuck in the US canal. That ship has now been freed. By the time this comes out, it will be freed by about two weeks, two and a half weeks. But I thought, I asked Dave if I could borrow this, and I thought, here's what we'll do. We'll get the Crushers to add lines of narration and get you to

read them as Werner Hertzog. Oh my god. So do you see the post there many Crush borrowed from Crusher Dave Duff. I'm navigating to uh and this is what I said. Let's say Verner Hertzog narrated that stuck ship that was finally freed in this US. Canal right, one or two sentences of this narration and we'll get an old to read them on the next many Crush And this is a movie Crush with Chuck Bryant. I just can't wait to hear these because I'm reading now. You

are to me second only to Paula Thompkins. And oh my god, thank you Chuck. Borrowed from Crusher Dave Duffe. Do you see that post? I do? All right, So let's go. No, you can pick and choose what you want. Oh. I love this first one from Charles Martin. Ackers. Is he the guy who's supposed to eat our shorts? Though? Isn't that him? No, Charles Martin, I always say acres? Maybe those acres? Uh, He's he's a good guy. He's not a bad guy. He's not even even even the

shorts eaters are fine, fine, No, they're great. Let me see how I can do it. The Overwroughtmanolith trudged into the narrow gap. Burdened by cargo. The ship found its way aground. The vessel and its crew cemented in time and space. It tonally good stuff. Mm hmm, there's more. But I like, I like, I like ending in on that, and the next line is almost anticlimactic. Okay, let's see. I like this one. These are all great at least are Oh my goodness, oh this is this is a

reference to Uh. This is a reference to FITZGERALDO the great Werner Hertzog film with Klaus Kinski, where he uh pulls a steamship over a mountain. Uh in the effort too. I think he's like, is that the one about the opera house? I think it is. Anyway, Let's see from Steve Scott, here we go. Every man should pull a boat over a mountain, then into the Suez Canal, have it get stuck, stuck, gets stuck, and then pull it triumphantly out again once in his life. The universe is

monstrously indifferent to the presence of tug boats. Here read uh read Debbie Franka Dakas, all right, Franky, doc here we go where you have Franka docas. It's alright. It has embedded itself into the artery of the economy. The boat is the result of agreed and fat hamburgers. I wonder if the boat knows what it has done? Does the boat dream does the boat dream. That's perfect. Boy. People can really write, and the voice of I'm not gonna lie Chuck, I I I they don't have indispensable

Herzog impressions in me. I will eventually start to sound like somebody else. I'm gonna do three or four more of these. Let's see you got any tops here. I'll try one. Okay, we'll trade off. I don't do a great friend of her dog, but here goes as zach loose. You may have freed it from the clutches of the can, but your minds that was christof Waltz. All of a sudden, they'll never be free. I can't. I'm doing christof Waults now. I don't know if I can't do it's it's all no. No,

let me let you go to go the way. Where are you at? Zak Low? No read any of them. I'm gonna start reading him as Christoff Walts. You you Tanish, you finished it? I love it. Okay, here we're gonna do here. We all like this one. Carrie v. McQuaid, I love him, acquaid. Uh As the shifting tides of capitalism become distorted through a lens of want and depleted resources, the viewer of this bereft colossus is left with an insight into the fragility of our existence. All right, I'm

gonna read one is chrystof faults. Let me see here now I'm getting a stage right, all right? This is from Bear Baard, William Swedman Christoph Waltz. Steering massive carcass ships is a complicated profession. You're very good at that, Chuck. I would argue you're Christoph might even be better than my verner. But boy, that yeah, that's He's got this puckish kind of do to do thing, and you nail it. All right, I can do a couple more. Let's do

this one from Weezer Long from culver Matthew um. The perseverance of the ancient culture that's built the Great Pyramids of Giza has come to life again, as these grandchildren of the fay Ros heaved the monolith three of its resting place, like so many tons of sandstone. The gateway between the Red and Mediterranean Sea, and between the people of the Near East and the West was once thrust open. Who's Who's What's that? That was culver Matthew oh Man for the win. I think we can stop there. This

is the last one. These are so goods from Josh Brandon. Immovable uncertainty, a fixture of the muddy, narrow abyss of Suez, feelings of embarrassment and anguish as I look upon my waiting brethren anchored in place due to my despair. I'll read one more as Sammy Davis Jr. This is for the stuff you should know, listeners. Zack Pointers is pretty short and sweet. Hey man, that ship is stuck worse than a log and a constipated sumo wrestler. Yeah. See,

oh did someone write that for Were you to do? In? Sammy Davis? And I just seemed like something Sam David might say, Yeah, it does. It doesn't seem like something that Werner would say at all. That's why I was confused about I saw that one and I gave it a pass. But I'm glad I liked it. I just didn't think it was on brand. Well done. I'm gonna do one more. As Christolf Fultz getting into it now, Brendan Reese says, this digging and dredging, it's a complicated profession.

Don't you agree? I do agree. I do agree, all right. I think we've beaten that horse. Don't you think we have? I think we've beaten it to life, in fact, not to death at all. All right, nol, we have one more thing here. I asked the Crusher community, very simple question that I've never asked before Indiana Jones or Hand or Han Solo. And let's see you are reasons why, Like, that's the important part here. You got one. You got a hot tick on that. God, that's hard. That's hard.

They're both charming fellas. Um. I think I'm more of an Indie guy than a than A than a Han guy. I don't know, because he's just grounded in reality. He's got the smarts, you know, he's got his flaws, he's got his weak This is he's scared of snakes. I like that. My mom was always scared of snakes. Han. This is a little too cock sure. It doesn't seem like he's scared a much of anything. He brings up bed.

He totally does that. Hse uh. Kristen bits a guy says they're both such iconic characters, and the fact that Han Solo shines as brightly as Indiana Jones without actually being the main character, says, how freaking awesome. Han is fair point. I agree. I mean, I like I said, it's hard for me. I like both characters quite a lot. Angelica Singer says Indiana Jones, he was on my wall as a young girl, made me want to be an archaeologist,

based solely on his adventures and the courageous expeditions. I'm no archaeologist by means, but adventurer. Yes. Han is seriously rad And this is a tough question. But Indiana inspired me as a timid middle school girl, and that made him a big deal to me. Great answer. I'm with that. Yeah, I e Ti once too, was a timid middle school girl. Uh. Andrew and Andrew Anderson says, my god, Chuck, you're ruining

my evening with his dilemma. I would take Han solo six days a week, but that seventh day of junior would be magical. This is making my head hurt. Fascinating. It is a tough question. Justin Renter says, Han is kind of an ass Indie all the way. He's a professor, smart, athletic, good looking. Boom boom. We're on the same page. And again, I think the flaws are important. The fear of snakes that not wanting to use a gun, you know what

I mean. Han just shot that greedo fellow dead. You know, I mean, come on, well a psychopath Indie shot that swordsman dead. Yeah, but that guy was like a weird you know the word ninja. He had a coming. Brian Ridge says, I'm going I'm gonna go with Han solo. Both are awesome, iconic characters. Han was first, so that helps. After doing the math. Indians Love Life is a bit problematic as well. Sure I'm confusing Indiana Jones with mcguiver and he was fine with using a gun. He does.

He preferred the whip, but he would use the gun if he needed to. As case in point with that scene you mentioned, does mcgiver not using a gun? Mcgiver hates guns. He only likes to, you know, make gadgets. You know something. I never saw mcgivers that. Yeah, it was fine. It was one of those It came out right around the same time as Quantum Leap, and I watched both of those shows when I was a kid. I liked them quite a lot. My brother worked on Quantum Leap for a season, is that right. I thought

that was a really clever show. Yeah, big big fan, I never saw it. He's always waiting for the leap home. He hopes the next leap will be the leap home. Chuck, is that the deal? That's the deal? And then well it's like it's like a it's it's really shoddy technology because it shoots him around all these places where he's inhabiting these people and like making like setting wrong right ready wrongs, but he doesn't know where he's gonna go. Uh,

what's his name? Um? That actor Scott h Ship No no when Scot Scott bacular, but also Dean Stockwell Stockwell who plays Al who's his like little liaison from the future who's using this graphing calculator thing named Ziggy that's always sucking up and he has to hit it and makes little bleeps and bloops like he's a very imprecise guy. Ziggy gives very shoddy information. The technology of the future of this world is very flawed, I would argue, but

it makes for a fun show. Emily Newton says, Han Solo not a womanizer, not intimidated by being with a woman of Leah's prowess, does his thing unapologetically loyal to those he loves indie as much as I love him. Is pretty much in it for indie boy. I don't that's a hot take, so I might say that's reversed and that Han is in it for Han. Yeah, but

he says he sort of softens though. That's true. That's sort of the point that that maybe if there is anything that like makes his character attractive is that he redeems himself and becomes less of a self serving ass and starts to kind of be a team player and see the big picture. And he's in it for treasure, m true and fame. Yeah, notoriety. Greta Mansfield, says Mansfeld. Excuse me, Greta. One of our old friends, says Indiana Jones. Any day, Han Solo seems curmudgeing ly as both a

young and old person. Fair enough, David Pott says, Han Solo because of Empire strikes back. The movie's a deeper part of me than any of those Indiana Jones movies. All right, Jimmy Quickendall, one of our old friends, says Indiana Jones all day, smart as hell, resourceful and good with the ladies. Exactly. He's a bit of a lothario type, does he say, well, I mean it was just uh Karen Allen, and she was an underage girl that he may have, you know, had improper groomed. There was some grooming.

I mean, you know, it's it's all. Someone did the math at some point on the internet. And there are the scenes where she says, you know, I was a child, and he goes, you knew what you were doing, and I'm like, oh, you don't need to say that is Indiana Jones canceled, Chuck, He's not canceled, but there was. I think they produced some original meeting notes from Lucas in Spielberg and uh and uh, what's his face? The writer? It's totally escaping me. Think about the writer for Indiana,

John legendary writer of Empire strikes back. Kasal just brain dead Nal? That's okay, what's his name? And people are yelling, but they produce these notes in Lucas was We talked a bit about this on the Raiders episode with how Love one. But Lucas said was like, you know what if she was like fifteen or thirteen, He's like, that would be a wild idea. And Spielberg was like, maybe she should have been older than that um And granted

it was a long time ago. The setting wise, it was in the nineteen I guess thirties, but still, you know, yeah, so crazy. On the IMDb page for Empire doesn't even have a writer list, it just has story by George Lucas, Lawrence cast, Lawrence cat I said kaza as a cause of CAD's a car sound. I had the right idea, Oh, Chuck, I got a dish on something really quick. And now I'm like, I can give too many details about specifics, but I had a call with a legendary music supervisor,

like probably the only one who people even know his name? Well, can I guess or can you not say it on the air? You can guess it was probably Randall Poster. Sure was. Well, I just had his sister on movie Crush. Is that right? Yeah? Errol was on two weeks ago. Because she does Call Your Grandmother with us. I wish I would have known that. I would have brought that up on the call. I don't think he was aware. Yeah, she does a podcast with us called Call Your Grandmother,

which is great. She came on and offline she was like, you know, I should get hook you up with my brother randall he'd be a great guest and I went, yeah, can you well he would be and you should and uh that's all I can say. Um. Really cool again, legendary dude, And like those soundtracks and the way he curates music is so meaningful to me in my life, like the Royal Tennant boumb soundtrack and Rushmore turned me

on too. Like old Kinks and not old Kinks, like you know these old Kinks now the old music of the early Kinks and uh you mean old Kinks like showing your ankle exactly, yes, they're a little thigh uh and uh you know, like she's like a rainbow rolling stone like I didn't know that era of role stones. Um the live version of a quick one while he's away by who absolute barn Burner. Um. But anyway, that was kind of neat. I got the fanboy out for a second. That's super cool Noll, and I definitely want

to get him on because I love the idea. Meryl was able to speak to producing um as a job, which was really insightful, and I want to get more people like that. A friend of mine here is uh knows an a d working I'm not sure what he's working on right now here in Atlanta, but he was Paul Thomas Anderson's a d on Magnolia and Boogie Knights and Punch Drunk Love, And I'm gonna try and get him on because that's insight from another crew member. I

think i'd I'd love to have Randall poster on. I think it's cool to get these people come on and speak to their jobs in the industry, uh, because that's kind of like a double a double whaymy Not only get do we get to talked about a movie, but the crushers and and myself get to learn about these school jobs. It's absolutely true. And you always such a good job of doing those little well, I don't know, it's like, I guess this only as a finite number of those segments, but we used to do those. Uh

uh that's the one. Yeah, I'll get back to doing that one day. I've been lazy lately, very lazy. I don't think that's true. Chuck. Maybe in one department, but that just means that you're doing fifty other things and fifty other departments. All right, let's get back to Indiana Jones, the Han Solo Austin Handler one of our old pal says, uh,

that's like asking me who my favorite son is. Having said that, it's gotta be Han Solo, Indie is a grave robber and culture plunderer who keeps robbing and plundering. Han may have been a spice runner, but at least he gave all that up and joined the rebellion to fight for something bigger than himself. I have to say when he said it's like picking my favorite son, but having said that, it's definitely Steve. He's the He's the far superior son. Um, I'm getting out of know what

your son's names are. No, we'll I'm but I think we're on the same page. Like Indie was a plunderer, he was in it for these real x not and it just happened to cross paths with these life changing or world changing events. But it was all in the service of of his plunder. Yeah, I mean he wanted things to end up in museums. But I think he was selling the ship, wouldn't he kind of? Yeah? Did you know that he lived in New Jersey? Not funny to think about, I mean the character or character he

lived in New Jersey? Yeah, because rewatching raiders for the show and how and I talked about this on the up it showed. You know, there's that one scene where he's packing in his house to go on his on his first big adventure to get the ARC. And I was like, it's just so funny to think about Indiana jones house. Like he seems like that's the only time you ever see his home, I believe. And it's in New Jersey. He lives in New Jersey. It's so funny. Yeah, I would, I would. I don't think of New Jersey

as being a particularly collegiate city. Uh. Well, Princeton is there, Princeton is there? Is that? Where is he? Where is he meant to teach? I think at gets a made up college if I remember correctly, because I looked into it. Uh, Indiana Jones's college is not real, I don't believe, but I think it was sort of modeled on Princeton. Uh. And then of course the Big State School as Red Guys, Red Guys. Tony Saprana did one semester Red Gus and

then he dropped out. I hung out, and when I lived in New Jersey, I went to Rutgers and hung out at the bars. There a couple of times, did you hang on the quad? No, I hung out in the bars. Okay, that's all right. I went to Princeton. To Princeton is a lovely town. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Um, Harvard is really nice and they've got all those yards where you can pocky ka. Harvard was weird to me because it's it's not what I expected. I know, like once you probably get onto the campus, but it seemed

like it was like kind of just surrounded. And I guess I was used to college towns where sort of the university is the main thing, and Harvard's right there in Boston and it's sort of sur rounded by Boston totally. You cut through it as a shortcut, like to get where you're going. Havid Squire, Havid Square. It's really nice. I love Boston. I can't wait to get back there. Oh, really quick pandemic update. I know you said you're fully vaxed. I got my first shot. Um, I have a trip

booked with my daughter. It kind of came up really quickly. There's this some Minecraft exhibit at the Museum of Pop Culture in Seattle, and ironically you've been okay great, ironically the maybe not ironically I always misused that word as there's a lot of smore set. But the last trip that I had on the books before the pandemic was to Seattle, and I've never been, and I was excited

to go, and it got canceled. And now I'm taking Eden to Seattle to go to this thing, and we're gonna stay for three or four days and go to um the twin Peaks out her fall and stuck out doorsy stuff and you know, do the touristy stuff. But I'm really excited to have a actual facts trip on the books. That's great, man. Uh, Seattle is one of my favorite places. I'll talk to you offline about it. There's some wonderful things to do and be. That museum is certainly one of them. Have been I think two

or three times. You'll you'll love it. It's got a great uh well, I mean, it's got great temporary exhibits obviously like that one, but the permanent collection there is awesome because it's you know, Seattle, It's Hendricks and grunge, and you know they have fucking Kurt Cobain's guitar right there and uh, original lyrics to Nirvana songs on scratched down paper, and well, trust me, I am very excited it was. She was originally trying to get her friends to be able to come to I didn't work out.

I'm not mad about it. I'm kind of looking forward to just having to me and like daddy daughter cool getaway weekend. I'm gonna get us like an airbnb, like somewhere in the city and then also when we were in a car and go out into more of the outdoorsy stuff. So yeah, I'd love to talk to you about some suggestion. I went to the museum to see the Marvel exhibit when they did that, and I went when they did the Star Wars costume exhibit, and they

were both fantastic. Nice. How do you recommend lots of lots of cool stuff? Uh, let me see here. J Fraser says, Han Solo because you can be the good guy and shoot first. Uh. And let's finish this off with Mike Snelling JR. Indiana Jones because gasp I kind of strongly dislike Star Wars. Indiana Jones is just a much more entertaining camping romp through cinematic history. Also, it's nice to see an academic as a lead who still had swagger and could throw down when needed. He wasn't

an action hero. He was more of an everyman kind of character. All right, I agree? I agree? So I know, I'm sorry really quick. I have to posit this. What about Han Solo versus Indiana Jones, like an alien versus predator the movie? You know what I mean? How do we play that? Who wins in that fight? It's interesting. I feel like we didn't see Han solo fist fight. Ever, there are no fist fights in any so. I don't think we should allow him to use his blaster. That

seems unfair. Nor should we allows Han nor nor should we allow Indie to use his luger or whatever the fuck? Um it should be whipped versus hand to hand combat to the death. Indiana Jones had a revolver, my friend whatever, not a German luger. Sorry, he defeated the Nazis. He did, he did, but I thought maybe maybe he picked it up from one of them they dropped it and he used it. I think if we're talking hand to hand combat, then Indiana Jones kicks Han Solo's ass because I think

Han Solo avoids fist fights. He's also leaning on the future tech that India has not had access to and has therefore probably gotten a little soft. Yeah, and I think he's more of the talking way out of a fight kind of character, whereas Indiana Jones is punch first, asked questions later. Totally. That's fight scene in Raiders with the the bald Nazi with the plane right right right, that's so good. He he punches him into the rotors right or into the propeller. Well, then punch him into him.

He uh, he sees them coming behind him and and uh sort of feign's like he's giving up to allow the propeller to chop him up. Very gruesome. Yeah, alright, No, there's a little bit of shorter wind, but um, that's all we got. I thought that Verner hurts all. The thing might play out a little bit longer, but there is a limit in terms of them. Like I said, I mean, I it's hard to keep that accent going.

I've tried to do it for more extended periods of time, and I start to lose it weirdly, I start it starts to morph into Woody Allen on the tail end. I don't know. It's a very weird thing. To happen. I know why, and you don't want to do that these days? Definitely, I don't do that. Have you seen that? That fair me a Pharaoh documentary? I have it. I don't need to. I gotta get it. Yeah, it's you know, it's all uh yeah, I don't need to. Just that would be like a rage Watch type of situation, and

I need to lost anger in my life. No needs. All right, man, Well, always a pleasure of my friend. All right. Well, thanks everyone, and we'll see you next Monday.
