Beard Laws (00:01.16)
I'll say all of the things. You're a trophy husband. It's okay. It's okay. It's ironic that you're like, if you hear me chewing, that's the problem was the chewing.

Burley (00:02.808)
That's it. I am.

Burley (00:10.04)
Yeah, that's what we got here with that's how we've gotten this goddamn predicament

Beard Laws (00:15.794)
It's alright. Welcome back everybody to the Triple T Show. What did we decide it was? What's Sarah from In a Pickle say that we should

Burley (00:22.968)
Time traveling, Troubadours. I like Troubadours. true, that works. True.

Beard Laws (00:24.914)
Trio, ooh. The time travelers. There's so much stuff. Now, isn't it funny, one week we're flowing, one week I can't think of a goddamn thing. Either way, time traveling to a year that we're brain fogged. That's a thing. I feel like I have brain fog all the time. Ugh, I don't know. But either way, we look cool in our triple T hats. I got like five or six left that I just found in the studio. If anybody wants one, shoot us a message.

Burley (00:37.527)
We talk a great fog.

Beard Laws (00:53.288)
There's only 30 in the entire world and you could be one of 30. And I made up 30. I don't remember how many I originally bought. I'm going to say 30. It's less than 50, more than 20. I'm going to say 25. You could be one of 25. That's be pretty cool. In the entire world, as one of these triple T hats, there's a hidden stash pocket.

Burley (01:07.588)
Yeah. 25 is the, it's the max out. You're allowed to, you know, be at Leonardo Caprio's house and the amount of hats you can buy. Like that.

Beard Laws (01:16.647)
Oh, it's a hell of an age hell of a number. 1950. Pretty rough, but we did our best to do our research. And if obviously you're just listening to the voice you're hearing, it's me, it's Matt. It's beard loss. Joining me is Burleigh Goot's not here. He is spending time at a lake house with the family. And let's be honest, that's way more important to put in that family time, especially at a lake house. I would love to be at a lake house right now. But that's where he is. So safe travels.

Burley (01:41.536)
Mm -hmm. Yeah, yeah.

Beard Laws (01:46.472)
and he'll be back next week to do whatever year that we come up with. We're jumping all over the place and sometimes you get a year that you're like eeee but we're very thankful for the person that sent in the year and I think it's the last one from the Dude Network to send it over so big shout out to Damon. I don't know if you wanna, should we do the video? You got anything else you wanna chat about before we jump into? Okay, let's figure out who to blame and thank.

Burley (02:10.07)
No, I want to know who to blame for this.

Beard Laws (02:16.028)
Here we

Beard Laws (02:38.856)
I know exactly what he's talking about. And we will take it away. thanks, Damon, for taking some time to send over the video in his defense. So maybe you can blame him. But I did say, if you wanted to send a video of a random year, potentially between 1950 and 1960, we'd appreciate it. We'd done the 30s. We did the 40s. We did the 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s. We hadn't done the 50s, the 2000s, or the 2010s. So he was like, all right, I got you.

Burley (02:40.93)
Yeah. Yeah.

Beard Laws (03:08.488)
And he started with 50.

Burley (03:10.636)
When were the poodle skirts? Is that the 50s? I don't know. I feel like there was a lot of, wait, when did a happy times happen? Good times. Good happy

Beard Laws (03:13.264)
Hmm. I don't know.

Beard Laws (03:19.76)
poodle skirts was 1950s, remains one of the most memorable symbols of the 50s in the US.

Burley (03:29.078)
Yeah, fucking French. I assume that poodles are French.

Beard Laws (03:33.928)
They were actually designed by the American singer and actress Julie Lynn Charlo in 47. It was a last minute Christmas outfit. It says American singer, so I'm going to say America.

Burley (03:40.706)
Where is she from?

Burley (03:45.378)
Hmm. I don't know any of our stuff as will you not know any of the stuff from this year.

Beard Laws (03:48.134)
Me neither.

Beard Laws (03:53.348)
You know what, maybe by doing this though, we hit a different audience. Maybe somebody's like, you know what? she was from New York. Julie, Julie Lene Charlo probably made the wine. Anyways, yeah. I don't know, maybe we're gonna hit a whole new audience. Maybe people that were like born in the 50s, maybe people that grew up in the 50s, they're like, hey, what's this YouTube thing? What was cool in the 50s? And then they're gonna find

and being like, holy shit, how did I stumble upon this? But if you're bored. Yeah, I mean.

Burley (04:20.696)
Maybe.

I'm about to shit on 1950 pretty hard. Not really.

Beard Laws (04:29.98)
Potentially we could, but either way, yeah, it's it's an interesting year. There is some cool things that happen in this year. But either way, we're to break down not only the sports like we do every year, we're going to break down the pricing. We're going to break down some movies. We're going to try our best to, you know, to hold it down because that's what Goot typically does. Burley hit the music and then we got some random stuff that you might like. So we fire this time travel machine.

Burley (04:38.946)
Mm -hmm.

Burley (04:56.984)
Am I getting a vein here? Hey, Alright, let's go. We're fucking back, bitches.

Beard Laws (04:59.452)
Look at that.

Burley (05:06.932)

Check him out, barrel aged flicks. All right, that's

Burley (07:00.512)
show. No, I don't. I, well, I got withdrawal symptoms, but I'm going to hit this button.

Beard Laws (07:01.384)
That's all I got, you anything else?

Beard Laws (07:10.886)
He does. Yeah. So anybody that's out there, they're not a friend of the show, but Nicotine is a tough one to quit. And so when Burleigh did start the show, he said, if you hear me chewing, just let me know. He's chewing a lot of gum to get rid of chewing a lot of something else.

Burley (07:25.892)
Shout out to Trident White and the 110 piece bags. This is about a two days supply of gum for me right now. So if they want to, you know, send some shekels or just some bags, that'd be great. All right. I'm going to hit this fucking time machine and go back to a time before I was addicted to nicotine. Here we go. Oh, it's not going to work. Oh, poor planning. Let me check the oil. Hold on.

Beard Laws (07:41.185)
yeah. Ugh, you poor

Let's do

Mm -hmm.

Beard Laws (07:54.716)
I got you. If you can't get it, let me know. I'll try it on my end. Check the oil. Well, it wasn't that's you know what though? We do struggle a little bit when we're traveling way, way back because it's it's a lot and it takes a little more juice and amps and watts and kilowatts. you got it. You forgot the oil again.

Burley (07:56.484)
Check it

Burley (08:05.452)
Yeah, that's the problem.

Burley (08:12.588)
Okay, we got oil. didn't, I no didn't, you know you gotta click it when you turn the the gas thing back on? It didn't click, so. Poor pressurization of the rotary inline girders. Yeah, and the, the freeze packs the, you know, that stuff. That happens a bunch of times. But alright here it goes, we're going to go ahead and

Beard Laws (08:19.6)
Mm -hmm. Yep.

Beard Laws (08:26.78)
Come bob you later.

Burley (08:51.908)
Perfect time machining.

Beard Laws (08:51.976)
We we deduced ourselves to 1950. Holy shit. Hopefully you're way more excited because if you're still here listening after we just deduced our way, 50, not 50s, 1950 specifically.

Burley (09:10.446)
Hopefully you're not a North Korean right now because we coming cuz we coming

Beard Laws (09:19.572)
Again, 1950. No spoiler alerts to whatever the future has and potentially 2025 or 26. We can't see that far ahead, but where do we even want to start?

Burley (09:29.652)
let's, let's take out the music real quick. as I mentioned to you earlier, being Crosby has a choke hold on the music industry for most of the forties and fifties and did, ed ed a choke hold on his kids. If you know what I mean, the man liked to beat his kids. let's see here. Also, did you know there was a Gary Crosby?

Beard Laws (09:59.056)
related?

Burley (10:00.58)
I think they're brothers. They had a few songs in 1950 together. But they had a… it's not even that important. They're not good songs. But they had a couple of good songs together. Or a couple of songs together. But the number one song of 1950 is Good Night Irene by The Wanderers. You know that

Beard Laws (10:25.042)
Good night. Yeah, I know. was the Wanderers?

Burley (10:28.12)
Yeah. Not come on, Eileen.

Beard Laws (10:31.494)
No, I thought there was, what the hell is the last name? Jenkins, something Jenkins. Maybe it was the Wanderers, I don't know. Maybe I'm just making some stuff up.

Burley (10:42.141)
Let's see here, looking at it, it's called Goodnight Irene by, yeah, it's, well, someone typed it wrong. It's Gordon Jenkins and the Weavers, not the Wanderers.

Beard Laws (10:52.754)
I was gonna say the Wanderers, they put out some bangers.

Burley (10:55.844)
Yep, it's not. Well, you know, I type things in wrong. So correction. Hold up. You know, it was another gigantic hit of 1950. This is back. This is we're back to this again, where I hate how things are hits. Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer was a number one hit by Gene Autry in January 7th, 1950. So after Christmas.

Beard Laws (11:01.659)
Hold

Burley (11:24.056)
This song became a number one hit, dude.

Beard Laws (11:24.264)
Well, got to think technology was, you know, worse. So by the time Christmas rolled around and these people early in the TV game, they were probably putting some stuff out. Maybe it didn't quite hit until the 7th of January. I don't know.

Burley (11:38.149)
me so much. Yeah, I mean, the how

Beard Laws (11:40.008)
Know what my favorite song name in 1950 was? If I knew you were coming, I'd have baked a cake. That was a song by Eileen Barton and Morty Craft. Long ass name. I'd have baked a cake.

Burley (11:44.455)
What?

Burley (11:56.1)
If I knew you were coming, I'd have, I'd have, I'd

Beard Laws (12:01.963)
I'd have baked a

Burley (12:03.918)
Dude, that is one of the very few times I've ever seen two apostrophes in a single word.

Burley (12:11.822)
Are you looking at that? have I apostrophe D apostrophe V E. There's no way that's proper English.

Beard Laws (12:13.543)
I do.

Beard Laws (12:17.862)
out of, don't, see, yeah, I don't think that's, I don't know. I've never seen that. I didn't know that that was in the title, because I just have I apostrophe D, I'd have.

Burley (12:30.084)
I'm looking at the Wikipedia. That one spent two weeks on the number one at the number one spot in April 15th, 1950.

Beard Laws (12:38.6)
I've never heard that song. Should we play like less than 20 seconds of it? I mean, so in your head, you, in my brain, it's like slow, it's like, like just instrumental, just upbeat and just.

Burley (12:42.222)
For sure.

Burley (12:51.834)
in my head, in my head, I'm thinking that diddle, diddle, diddle, diddle, diddle, diddle, diddle. If I knew you were coming on my face side, bake a cake. Yeah, that stuff. That's what I'm that's what I'm expecting right

Beard Laws (12:58.538)
Do

Burley (13:10.788)
cream filled. If they knew you were coming, you know what

Beard Laws (13:14.567)
All right, so the first thing that popped up was WCFL 1000. Pretty big tune, oh, 14 ,000 subscribers. Hopefully they're not pissed at us, but we gave you some credit. We're gonna play a little bit of this song. Even that one has that double apostrophe. Right? Interesting. See, we are knowin' some things. All right, let's play a little bit of this.

Burley (13:33.464)
Weird.

Burley (14:03.816)
Yeah, all right. That's what I expected. Yeah, she could probably do that wearing blackface and been in a Shirley Temple movie.

Beard Laws (14:13.891)
Mm -hmm. I

Burley (14:17.316)
Okay, so that reminds me, I sent something over in the studio chat. This is a real news, a real news broadcast from the year 1950. Just skip ahead to like the one minute mark, just right in the middle of it. When did people stop talking this way for news?

Beard Laws (14:39.793)
I wish we still did. All right, let me fire this

Burley (14:42.358)
It's… It's

Beard Laws (14:45.032)
This is a review of the year 1950 on the YouTube.

Burley (15:02.764)
When did they stop talking like that? It's gotta be right. mean, you hear about like, because people would get their news from like going to a movie theater, right? So. Yeah, yeah. And I said, see, and I tell them, see, yeah, it's a very odd way of speaking. I want to know where that started and why and where it went away. You know, we should have a show just on

Beard Laws (15:15.345)
So he was going to do the thing, but they were holding their hands. And I said…

Burley (15:32.824)
the speech patterns of the early 1900s. if we did the God, okay, we're have to wait a few months. But for some reason, if we just started talking like that for an entire episode and did not tell anybody why we're doing it would be the funniest goddamn thing ever.

Beard Laws (15:33.416)
I don't think that anybody would want to listen to that for too very long.

Beard Laws (15:50.64)
It would be. And with the way AI is, maybe we could just be like, make us sound like they did on radio 1950. And then that'd be a cool thing to just do that because allegedly you can go over to Beardlaws in Espanol and see a couple of clips in Spanish. And it's wild how it's our voices talking Spanish. I showed the kids the other day and they're like, whoa, I didn't, I know you took four years of Spanish, but I didn't think you could speak Spanish. They're like,

Burley (16:07.83)
It turns

Beard Laws (16:18.684)
How do you say this? I was like, listen, I only do it for the camera. And they instantly were like, that's not you, that's AI. And I'm like, son of a bitch.

Burley (16:21.973)
Yeah.

Burley (16:28.246)
Yeah, the oldest one was just like, yeah, this is fucking stupid. But my youngest one, my six year old was like, I was like, yeah. And then I just walked away. Yeah. I don't understand why. Listen, here's what I don't get, dude. I don't understand how these kids aren't blown away by AI. I get blown away by something AI every day. I show my kid, she's like, OK, like.

Beard Laws (16:32.144)
Not even impressed.

Beard Laws (16:56.552)
So is it maybe similar to like, say 1950, say maybe not to jump ahead and maybe it's not even this year, but say something cool like the color TV or, you know, something like that comes out. Their kids, they're just like, oh yeah, this came out. Like it's expected. And it's just like, eh, it's the norm where, you know what I mean? They were just like, holy shit, like us, AI is a thing. But maybe because they don't utilize it, they probably can't over utilize it in school. You know what I mean?

Burley (17:21.474)
Yeah, I don't know.

Beard Laws (17:22.428)
I don't know, maybe it's just like, it's normal, like it's cool. I don't know, it's not that big of a deal to me because for us, it's like, holy s—

Burley (17:29.668)
They're waiting for us to die so they can just take over these people's These kids brained. Don't they read the news like Huey Lewis, like Huey Lewis?

Beard Laws (17:35.602)
sons

Beard Laws (17:40.104)
Just like the Ames Brothers said in 1950, can anyone explain? Is your data there? Was he?

Burley (17:45.316)
Well, know, Huey Lewis was born in 1950 and he read the news.

Beard Laws (17:51.4)
Listen, so the number one hit, this is, I'm curious by this. It was good night Irene, Gordon Jenkins and the Weavers. Gordon Jenkins and the Weavers also put out something and I can't pronounce. I want you to, it's not a, I just don't know. What's this right here, number 13.

Burley (17:58.137)
Mm -hmm.

Burley (18:09.176)
Wait, are you sharing the screen? Shit, I was looking at Wikipedia. Xena, Xena, Xena.

Beard Laws (18:11.618)
sorry.

Beard Laws (18:15.538)
Zena, so it's a silent T, sons of bitches. I was like, to Zena?

Burley (18:18.628)
I don't know if can play it. Holy shit has got to be a public domain by now.

Beard Laws (18:20.326)
Yeah, we're gonna

Has to. Let's see here. So we'll go here. We'll share this tab instead.

Burley (18:30.909)
it's a movie.

Beard Laws (18:33.51)
shit.

Burley (18:43.682)
Senna Senna Senna

Beard Laws (18:46.054)
banjo was on point and then it got worse. I'm back out. Look at this guy though. How much you think he drinks a

Burley (18:52.32)
Yeah, quite a bit. I mean to be fat back then was I mean he was he was

Beard Laws (18:57.073)
in the eyes.

He's got the… yeah, he's boozing.

Burley (19:05.092)
Dude, he's got big old ears, huh?

Beard Laws (19:06.952)
Look at the, that's a bad make -up. It almost looks fake, doesn't it? Like he's wearing like a mask. The hair is weird. The makeup, I don't know if it's ran in there. You almost, don't know. Like, you could be on the, ooh, that's not a good look. Hmm. All right. I don't need to talk shit about somebody that's passed probably. Send that, send that, send that, send that, that, that, that, that, that, that.

Burley (19:18.948)
It does look like, yeah, looks like a clay person.

Burley (19:28.964)
Fuck Hold on, there was one more funny one. Can you read the name of this song by Red Foley? Right here under music. I highlighted it right there.

Beard Laws (19:43.718)
Where is

Beard Laws (19:48.264)
The Chattanoogie Shoe Shine Boy.

Burley (19:49.09)
That's a number one hit. Yeah, that's a number one hit. And I had to believe that there is some sort of racial things happening there.

Beard Laws (19:58.376)
I mean it has to, it's 1950.

Burley (20:02.116)
1950 everything all bets were off dude you were just allowed to say whatever it seems

Beard Laws (20:07.654)
The lyrics I just pulled up here. He's a great bundle of joy. He pops the boogie woogie rag, the Chattanoogie shoe shine boy. He charges you a nickel just to shine one shoe. He makes the oldest kind of leather look like new. You feel as though you want to dance when he gets through. He's a great big bundle joy. It's a wonder that the rag don't tear. The way he makes it pop. You ought to see him fan the air.

with his hoppity, hippity, hippity, hoppity, hoppity, hippity, hop.

Burley (20:43.032)
Whoa, hold on hip hop. Wait, where are we onto something here? Did the, this the first mention of hip hop?

Beard Laws (20:49.16)
I kind of want to hear that part of… it might… I kind of want to hear that specific line of this. I'm gonna… Let's see if I can find

Burley (20:54.852)
Skip to that part.

Burley (21:00.746)
Man we got some pretty good birthdays here,

Beard Laws (21:05.948)
Yeah. You want to list them here? Here's the song here. It's got to be.

Yeah, I heard that too. Look at the, mean, they got the, they got so many people in this band. This guy's got two guitars on his lap.

Burley (21:38.99)
They got the accordion back there.

Beard Laws (21:40.316)
Concordian somebody's couldn't really see what that person's playing because they're just focused on this guy, but Maybe that that's a stand -up bass. I Don't know is this the what's the slide thing that they play in the Westerns? Yeah, is that doesn't that look like a slide guitar? Look at that. shit That's real fun Got some drums back there, and this is these guys red Foley

Wow.

Beard Laws (23:35.528)
Yep. And speaking of that, you're probably thinking $35 ,000. Well, let's do the prices of things in 1950. Probably could have came up with a better title for

Burley (23:44.792)
We didn't have a fun thing like the money round up. Yeah. We're such fucking cheese dicks, dude.

Beard Laws (23:47.336)
Yep. Ching, ching, ching, money. All right, AI, let's get in. Prices of things in 1950, if you wanted a house, was approximately $7 ,354. Jackie Robinson could have bought roughly four houses with that signing. If you wanted a car, was about $1 ,500 bucks. Example, a Ford, $1 ,500 bucks around that time. I don't know if that was the example, but shout out to Ford, Michigan.

Ish gallon of gas. It was about 27 cents. You wanted a loaf of bread. It was about 14 cents. Dozen eggs, 60 cents. Gallon of milk was roughly 82 cents. A stamp was roughly three cents. You want to go to the movies about 50 cents. You could go watch that average annual salary was about $3 ,200. So Jackie Robinson was getting about 10 times the amount of an average salary, which I have to imagine in sports these days when they're getting millions and the average salary is probably what?

40, 50 grand, maybe less, I don't really know. Doesn't seem to be 10 times as much as a good deal.

Burley (24:50.126)
What do you think?

I just thought of something just now. I know I do this. I'm sure a lot of people do is every month you go through your bills and you look at what you owe, which, you need to pay. Right. we have the luxury of the internet and all that good shit. Back then people had to have factored in stamps to their budgets. That's crazy to think about.

Beard Laws (25:06.973)
Yes, we do.

Beard Laws (25:18.162)
Mm -hmm.

Burley (25:20.1)
How does that I've never met I don't think I've ever mailed a bill. I've mailed letters for sure, but I've never mailed a bill like how do you factor in if it's going to be late or not? What's the late? How do you avoid that

Beard Laws (25:32.656)
I so I've had to mail a couple in, what seems like forever ago, and it was kind of the same thing. Like if you knew your bill was due on, let's say the 15th, you knew roughly three to five days it's gonna hit that post office in there. So you just gave yourself an extra week or two. I would try to do it two weeks. So like if it was the 14th or 15th my thing was done, I tried to mail it out on the first. So I'd have to imagine roughly then.

Burley (25:44.194)
Mm -hmm.

Burley (25:56.057)
Mm -hmm.

Beard Laws (25:58.76)
You know, you would do the same exact thing. But like you said, yeah. So say your bill's 12 bucks. Well, now it's 1203 or 1205, depending on, you know, how much stamps are in stamps. haven't bought stamps in a long time. But when I do, I always try to buy the forever stamps when I was doing them. So I'd get a roll of forever stamps. That way they were good forever because they constantly go up. So, you know, if it's worth 25 cents and then shit next thing you know, it went up two cents. Now you got to go and be annoying and go buy two cent stamps and add it to there. So you're putting multiple stamps on there. It's a weird

Burley (26:29.988)
So that three cents is worth roughly 39 cents

Beard Laws (26:34.344)
OK. Yeah. Which you're like, oh, it's an extra thirty nine cents. But if you got to mail out 10 bills, that's three ninety. You got to do it every month. That's an extra little bit added to.

Burley (26:40.642)
Mm -hmm.

Burley (26:44.964)
And everybody's had that one rough month where you're holding on for dear life in your bank account and that for some reason, 20 cents comes out and then you're paying a $30 overdraft fee. We've all been here.

Beard Laws (26:56.966)
We've all been there. Yep. Yep. So yeah, okay.

Burley (27:03.684)
All right, let's see what else we got here. We got, you know what a coronagraph is?

Beard Laws (27:11.366)
I don't think so. I've heard of Corona the beverage.

Burley (27:14.786)
Well, this was before that. I'm pretty sure those people down below the border stole this or at least they have a different type of Corona. Who knows? Nobody knows. It's fucking the fifties. The chronograph was invented fucking to be able to see the sun. Now they could look at like the sun doing shit. If you look at some of like the earliest pictures, I don't know if you can find them. I should have. I need to start doing better. Like pretty fucking neat.

Beard Laws (27:25.512)
Who knows? Nobody knows.

Beard Laws (27:40.102)
It's okay. I'm looking at it right now.

Burley (27:44.252)
That they came up with this and you got to remember this is pre us going to the moon if you believe that kind of stuff We'll get there when we get there

Beard Laws (27:55.686)
Yeah, I don't know if this is, I mean, I just put the first, this is not, it can't be the first ultraviolet imaging in the sun's middle, but this is an example of the corona stuff.

Burley (28:05.476)
Yeah, yeah, the the the oldest shit is just like black and white and it's not pretty. But then not long after that, we're like, that's not good enough. Let's send a rocket 100 miles up into the air. And now you can see the Earth's curvature for the first time. Never seen that before. Now we actually have proof that the Earth is a ball.

Beard Laws (28:09.5)
Yep. Now.

Burley (28:35.338)
If you know what I mean. Brother stand strong. Where you stand on that? Are you married to the ball, Matt?

Beard Laws (28:45.848)
I don't really give a shit. Am I supposed to?

Burley (28:47.146)
You get married to the bull. Yeah, he's supposed to I mean the government's hiding it from me. We don't know why aren't you a little curious? Why? What are they protecting?

Beard Laws (28:53.873)
Nah.

Beard Laws (28:57.436)
I'm sure they're protecting a lot of shit and I don't know. They're not hopefully they just keep protecting me ish Let me clear my throat shit now that the people are listening because we mentioned the government what's up government help us get some likes and views and downloads, baby We appreciate you watching

Burley (28:59.961)
Ha ha

Burley (29:04.64)
Sorry. Yeah.

Burley (29:16.962)
Word.

smash that like button, hit that little bell to get an alert every time we upload something, dog. I'm going to start talking. Yeah. Agent 69. You my boy. You're my boy. Six nine. Um, do know about the great Brinks

Beard Laws (29:24.936)
Yeah, Agent 69.

Eww.

Beard Laws (29:34.664)
not like in detail, but I've heard of

Burley (29:37.508)
Pretty interesting. It's like 11 dudes plan this, uh, this, robbery at the Brinks, like building and they just walked in, they walked in with like 12 sets of keys, walked door to door to door and finally made it to the central part and just tied up the fucking workers and stole like, it was a little over a million dollars. I don't know what that puts them at is in like 2024 money,

They just disappeared.

Burley (30:11.204)
They fucking it took them a year and a half to fucking to plan it out and 13 minutes to knock it out. Just Bing Bing

Beard Laws (30:19.016)
Speaking of 13, a million dollars in 1950 is equivalent to about 13 million dollars today.

Burley (30:25.738)
So each guy got a little over a million bucks. Bing, bang,

Beard Laws (30:30.216)
There's some peeps.

Burley (30:32.366)
Ahem.

Yeah. Oh, $1 .5 million. Okay. So I thought it was a million bucks. Pretty wild,

Beard Laws (30:39.592)
Yep, like with that 1 .5 million hold up. But then this one, 2 .7 Brinks. Brinks is just, they're just getting it no matter what year.

Burley (30:43.844)
Nice.

Burley (30:49.892)
We don't know what we have! We didn't even know robberies were possible in 1950!

Beard Laws (30:57.976)
Michael Jackson did

Burley (30:59.943)
I believe that. I believe

Beard Laws (31:02.686)
Look at that look. Hmm. least they were smart enough to wear masks, I guess, right? Look this look. That's going to haunt

Burley (31:10.808)
Smart move dude, I think about it, if you…

Can't say I wouldn't think about it. Pretty hard.

Beard Laws (31:18.492)
You know how hard and much like more difficult it would have had to be, though, to find this out, especially back then? mean, nowadays with cameras everywhere and the technology, it's like really hard to get away with just about anything. But in the 50s, you'd have to imagine it must have been quite. mean, even in that last picture I showed, all of the agents and stuff are like smiling their ass off. Like we we did it. We got

Burley (31:42.212)
Oh dude, $1 .2 million in cash and then another 1 .5 million in checks and money orders and other securities. That's how shitty shit was back in the duty in 2024 right now that those checks and money orders are as good as trash. Don't even try to cash it was it going to get caught.

Beard Laws (32:03.643)
Yeah. No, 100%. Even large sums of money that you're going to steal are going to have some kind of pack or tracking or something. mean, you can put, not to anybody that's here from the 50s, you can put an Apple tag on just about anything and you're going to get found, let alone what technology the banks do have that they don't tell you about. It's

Burley (32:23.62)
Dude, there are entire businesses here in Houston that are off the books that you have 500 books. I'll pull all the trackers out of your vehicle and the amount of trackers in your vehicle, you think probably one from the dealership. Nah, dude. Cause now all these dealerships and stuff are, they're literally tossing an apple tag in your fucking door panels and shit like that. Just they'll have you. So this guy, these guys that, that I know of, well, they have a service. Well, there will.

basically disassemble all your vehicle and get all those trackers removed. And then, you know, if you decided that you didn't want to pay for your vehicle anymore, they can't come get it.

Beard Laws (33:05.215)
Yep.

Burley (33:08.438)
Or if he stole a vehicle, let's say that. God forbid. God forbid. let's see here.

Beard Laws (33:10.936)
allegedly. Yeah, that's a wild robbery. That's a cool piece that might even that should be potentially even maybe a Yorktown

Burley (33:23.044)
Yeah, that's a pretty good one. It's a pretty good one. How they just a year and a half. That's all it did a year and a half. Let's be honest here in a year and a half. I would have found reasons to cut other people out of the deal. But yeah, 11 guys to pull that off.

Beard Laws (33:40.178)
That does seem like quite a bit.

Burley (33:41.334)
All you need, mean, if movies have taught us anything, you need one smooth talker. You need a driver. You need a, a limber Asian man to get into the air ducts. What else?

Beard Laws (33:52.168)
Ha ha ha ha!

You have to avoid the lasers.

Burley (33:58.34)
You need to be able to avoid the lasers, but that's where the limber man comes in as well. and then you need a hot chase. Five people, five people did the hot chick is the distraction.

Beard Laws (34:08.678)
You need some kind of technology person. Maybe you could have the technology person be the driver as well. These days you need a techie involved.

Burley (34:14.296)
Well, I figured, okay, let's say six people because you make that the inside man.

Beard Laws (34:19.302)
Yep. You probably need somebody law enforcement on your side

Right? To really have an inside guy? Or at least maybe an employee?

Burley (34:29.058)
What year are we pulling this off?

Beard Laws (34:31.528)
Uh, true. I don't know. Let's stick with 50. I think

Burley (34:34.948)
Oh, in 1950, I'm walking in to the Brinks building with you. We're killing everybody and not getting caught. I don't even think police are a thing yet in 1950.

Beard Laws (34:47.272)
It makes you wonder, you know what I mean? And I know the idea just came here, there had to be a lot of bank robberies and stuff like that that happened in 1950 that were just like, OK, yep.

Burley (34:57.292)
Yeah, like when was Bonnie and Clyde and all that shit? You know? It had to have been around that time, 40s,

Beard Laws (35:01.414)
I don't know. What do you think it was?

Beard Laws (35:07.65)
and Clyde was… let's see here…

Burley (35:11.94)
There's no cameras, there's no DNA, whatever.

Beard Laws (35:15.208)
They were born in 1910, died in 34.

Burley (35:20.61)
Okay, so not long before that, you could be a bank robbing couple and go on for years. And if they did, if they just kept their fucking mouth shut and not tried to be the most bad ass, they probably would have got away with

Beard Laws (35:27.634)
quite a bit. I mean they

Beard Laws (35:34.851)
Probably, yeah, they made the movie in 67. Interesting. That's

Burley (35:41.132)
I'm just saying DNA DNA shit didn't happen for a while. Do you mean you could have gotten away with so much?

Beard Laws (35:46.44)
I mean, even doing stuff with the Yorktown, a lot of the stories in the 70s and 80s, they were still getting away with a lot of stuff because the DNA technology was not around. Then you fast forward 20, 30 years before?

Burley (35:59.992)
I mean, dude, imagine getting into a fight with your neighbor. Like, and just like, man, I wish I could just kill him. Like that would have been a much more realistic thought to have back in the fifties. I bet like, all right, I just got to figure out where to take them. You know, it's like.

Beard Laws (36:13.51)
Yeah. I mean, yeah, I mean, yeah, there was there was a lot. What people think that they have it rough these days now. Now. Wild time.

Burley (36:23.169)
Yeah, dude. man. OK, so that that goes that's a plus side plus side for living back in the past. Yeah.

Beard Laws (36:32.392)
Hey, we found a positive in 50. We found some good, we've found a lot of positivity so far from, well, that and people being born. Speaking of banks and some stuff though, the first credit card came around in February of 1950. It was the Diners Club issued its first credit card. February of 1950 revolutionizing the way people handled credit and payments. That's a good or potentially a bad thing. A lot of people on credit card debt.

Burley (36:36.602)
Get away with murder and crime!

Burley (36:42.924)
Yeah, yeah, okay.

Burley (37:01.624)
That's interesting. Now that now that OK, I've never heard that term used outside of like a movie, like an older movie there like at my diners club card. That's what that is.

Beard Laws (37:12.252)
Yeah. Yep. The diners club. Yep. They issued its first credit card. That's pretty well. Oh, speaking of DNA too, before we get way past there, the discovery of the DNA structure apparently was first discovered, they said in 53 technically, but the important research and understanding actually started to begin shape in the 50s, paving the way for the

Burley (37:31.908)
Okay, so everything before that was free game, dude. You could just shoot your goo everywhere and nobody would know.

Beard Laws (37:37.8)
Nobody. That's pretty. What a time to be alive. Going full circle, though, Damon, when he said, hey, I want to pick 1950, he did mention a potential, whether it was a comic strip or whatever. Speaking of loads of potential peanuts has nothing to do with loads. Charles Schultz's comic strip Peanuts featured the beloved characters like Charlie Brown and Snoopy.

Burley (37:40.982)
What a time to be alive, right, dude?

Burley (37:56.484)
I'm picking a loads.

Beard Laws (38:05.128)
They made their debut October 2nd, 1950, and probably was, if not the most popular, but one of the most popular, you know, comic strips of all time.

Burley (38:16.012)
I wonder who was number one till then. then goddamn Charlie Brown showed up and run rained on their parade. Like Marmaduke or something like Marmaduke took a major hit to the peanuts crew.

Beard Laws (38:32.04)
It's so just quick search on the Google's it says it's difficult to say which comic strip was the most popular in the 40s because I'm just gonna go there but here are some of the ones that apparently were there this get this pulled up yeah comic strip the daring mystery comics Red Raven comics human torch comics Mystic comics double -action none of these I've heard of flash comics the flame red Dexter of Mars the blue bolt and weird comics number

Burley (38:56.664)
Yep, hate all those.

Beard Laws (38:58.214)
Yeah, never really heard of any of them. And just to show, I mean, we're pretty much old enough. Like, you do you remember some stuff in the newspapers, right? Like comics and stuff like that. Taking some of the the putty stuff, putting it on the papers and being able to still see them. mean. All you spoiled kids with your. I don't try not to think about that.

Burley (39:06.144)
Mm -hmm. Funny papers,

Burley (39:10.244)
Yeah.

Burley (39:14.562)
Really makes you wonder what was going on over our skin, huh? That's all the microplastics in our balls now, dude.

Beard Laws (39:22.426)
Yep, all of us grew up with the silly putty or whatever it was and the plastic eggs. And now all of you kids, you have it in your DNA because of us and our parents. You're welcome.

Burley (39:35.437)
better than yeah anyways

Beard Laws (39:37.608)
Yeah, we're gonna move it on. I mean, the first US commercial television network, the American Broadcasting Company, which is ABC began broadcasting in color television in January, 1950. The launch of the first commercial television network.

Burley (39:54.628)
So that's the wait. Is that the first? that's the very first commercial. Sorry. A very first color commercial.

Beard Laws (40:03.688)
The first US commercial television network, so ABC, they began all of their broadcasting in color in January 1950. Not to say that they were the very, yeah, the first commercial television network, so the first TV network. There was probably other stuff that was out there in color, but the first network to start broadcasting everything they had in color.

Burley (40:25.55)
That I had to have been like, witchcraft -ing.

Beard Laws (40:29.074)
pretty wild.

Burley (40:30.248)
And when was the last time we had something really fucking but fuck our brain like a color TV probably did back then was the last time something happened. But I mean, did it, though?

Beard Laws (40:37.998)
AI. I mean, it kind of took me over for a while. mean, seeing myself be able to hear my voice speak fluent Spanish that was verified by you and someone you know that it's actually fairly accurate.

Burley (40:47.384)
That is

Burley (40:54.04)
Well, that's, that's just a you specific, like dude, an entire generation of people were mind fucked as soon as ABC went, I at in color too, you

Beard Laws (41:04.2)
Yeah, that's that's and wasn't the first remote control invented in 1950 as well. I believe. I mean, that's what my note said. Robert Adler and Eugene Polly invented the first television remote control called the lazy or called Lazy Bones for the Zenith Corporation.

Burley (41:12.022)
I believe you.

Burley (41:26.54)
It's called the lazy bones. That's hilarious. They're really just calling people out back then. Now it's probably like the convenient plus, but back then it was like you lazy fuck.

Beard Laws (41:27.976)
That's what I was told.

Beard Laws (41:38.547)
Yeah, Zenith Radio Corporation, now a subsidiary of LG Electronics USA, invented the first TV remote control in 1950 called it Lazy Bones. It was a wired remote that connected to the TV and allowed viewers to turn the TV on and off and change the channels. There was a motor in the TV operated the tuner by rotating it clockwise or counterclockwise when buttons on the remote were pressed. Isn't it? Let me see. Let's see if we can pull up a picture here.

Burley (41:59.534)
That's wild.

That's wild.

I want to see this bad boy. And if they show just like a normal healthy person using it, or if it's somebody like that's almost in a coma, so they have, justify

Beard Laws (42:08.035)
Yeah.

Burley (42:19.735)
Beard Laws (42:20.333)
Look at this little wire here. Hey, we don't gotta get up. Dad's sitting there, me the remote, kid. I mean, that's where the lazy bones flashmatic to, this one, this must've been after, but that's the flash. Yeah, now Zenith adds lazy bones remote control to the black magic television. Look at this.

Burley (42:25.038)
We're the lazy bones.

Burley (42:31.448)
That's got IR or something there, yeah.

Burley (42:41.614)
Dude.

Burley (42:45.068)
If I had a bunch of money, it'd cool to have old shit, but then it's just piled up shit. Nevermind.

Beard Laws (42:52.786)
piled up shit that's old, that's heavy, that you have to pay way too much money. you know what? At the end of the day, it's probably not you getting rid of it. It's gonna be the kids or whoever else is gonna have to, Jesus Christ, dad collected all this shit.

Burley (43:01.604)
for sure, yeah.

Dad, well, I wanted to hold Blackmagic TVs. He has 150 of them. Fuck you!

Beard Laws (43:08.151)
Yeah, it's 150 pounds. Yeah, I mean, to an extent it would be pretty cool, but.

Burley (43:15.972)
It'd be cool for a little bit. I follow this weird fucking kid on Instagram and he lives his entire life like it's the 1940s. He's like in his early 20s. He has like the most intense autism you've ever seen, but he's just enough to like live on his own. holy shit, his whole entire house is all like 1940s record players and yadda.

Beard Laws (43:19.815)
Yeah, this is.

Beard Laws (43:38.866)
Jesus.

Burley (43:45.73)
I'll show it to you later. It's crazy. He walks around in like three piece suits and top hats and dumb

Beard Laws (43:47.012)
Interesting.

Like just for videos or like all day every… Interesting.

Burley (43:53.39)
This is how he lives his life. He drives like an literally drives a Model T to his job every day. You know, fucking crazy shit, dude.

Beard Laws (44:02.982)
I wonder how he makes it through his job, not trying to, like having to step out of the forties. Like if that really is a struggle.

Burley (44:10.208)
I don't know. Let me look at. Let me see if I can Google his name real quick.

Beard Laws (44:14.568)
Yeah. All right. So while he's doing that, there was this was something that was potentially on the Your Town podcast as well. We covered the discovery of the Lost Dutchman's Gold Mine. 1950, an amateur treasure hunter named Jacob Waltz claimed to have found the legendary Lost Dutchman's Gold Mine in the Superstition Mountains of Arizona. We covered it pretty in depth. It was a wild story. A lot of murder, a lot of mystery. So, again, that was a wild one. Go check it out. Just Google Your Town podcast, the Lost Dutchman's Gold Mine.

while Burleigh is looking up this. You find him? No, it's okay. Hey, while you're doing that, something that was just random was the first organ transplant by Richard Lawler. He did a kidney transplant on Ruth Tucker at the Little Company of Mary Hospital in Chicago, which that's pretty wild in 1950 to be able to swap organs. Not sure of the success of it, but I have to imagine if they are putting it in there, old Ruth Tucker was living a better life.

Burley (44:46.334)
Sorry. No.

Burley (45:13.006)
Have you ever seen the footage of when they swapped the brains on the monkeys or they swapped heads on the monkeys? Sorry. I meant to find it later, but yeah. And for some reason it was easier for them to put the monkey's head on backwards and reattach all the stuff. It was easier to do it that way. That's how they did it. So was the first head transplant, but they had to put the, this is my back and they'd usually the monkey wake

Beard Laws (45:19.074)
No. shit, that's even wild. No.

Beard Laws (45:38.876)
Head on back.

Burley (45:44.046)
from it and it just realizes it's just like, it's the funniest thing because you just you see kind of wake up out of his thing. just goes. Yeah, they had it alive. You know, it

Beard Laws (45:48.274)
Could you imagine? Jesus.

Beard Laws (46:00.09)
just like any of us would react. Did it live? Could it live like

Burley (46:09.902)
What do you do at that point? And once they're done, Marjana is going to let it live out its days. just, yeah, they put it down.

Beard Laws (46:09.98)
There's no way.

Beard Laws (46:15.432)
It'd be like trying to, like those people that for whatever reason thinks it thought it was cool back in the day, I don't know if this is still a thing, to play video games inverted. Like I had buddies that's like, I'm gonna play inverted. Like you'd have to do everything backwards. You know what I mean? Like, so up is down, like pilots, up is down, down, you know what I mean? Left is right, left, like that was an option in some video games back in the day that you could, I wanna play inverted.

Burley (46:27.118)
What do mean inverted?

Burley (46:35.662)
Well, yeah, well, I play on in flying games. I play inverted. no, I play inverted on flying games for sure. Up is down, down is up.

Beard Laws (46:39.206)
Yeah, but they would do it on shooting games, everything. Like I feel like…

But is it inverted because that's how it's supposed to be or you're inverting it to make it normal in flying? Because when you fly, it's all backwards.

Burley (46:54.072)
Yeah, I want to go down as up, up as down. That's how I play when it's a flying game.

Beard Laws (46:58.504)
Okay, so that'd be normal flying, but they must switch it so it's the other way and fly. Because when you play Top Gun back in the day, I mean, not 1950, but it was that way. Like your brain, you just naturally had to play inverted to get it to work where, yeah, but I know buddies

Burley (47:14.564)
No, if they're doing that just to be difficult, I don't understand.

Beard Laws (47:18.608)
I knew buddies, the way they, I gotta switch my controls real quick. And I'm like, huh? So that was a shooting game. Any games that we were playing, they played and then they see you grab the controller and they're like, what? My brain doesn't work like this. Like, I don't know, maybe theirs did or maybe they just trained their brain to be different. I don't know the reasoning, but anyways.

Burley (47:30.935)
Yeah.

Burley (47:36.26)
probably sound weird. F***ing like, what's it called? Like, I don't know. My brain is not firing on all. Bragging. I was looking for the word bragging. That's how bad I am right now. Dad couldn't think of the word bragging. This sucks, dude.

Beard Laws (47:44.154)
No, it's okay. It's okay. I see you popping some gum. Speaking of gum, lot of athletes chew gum. Bragg to brag to boast.

Beard Laws (47:56.136)
It sucks. You're going to get through this. Let's cover sports. Let's go ahead and say the here's the list of champions of all major sports in 1950. Let's jump to football. Probably the most recognizable sport. was hate to say it, but Philadelphia Eagles. They won it in 1950. They defeated the Detroit Lions 17 -7 and it was actually the NFL championship game. Major League Baseball. Again, not a great thing for me and the people that I like in sports for the Yankees.

Burley (47:59.908)
All right.

Beard Laws (48:26.12)
They beat the Phillies. Look at that, Philly. They had a good little year. They had a team in the meet and the MLB championship and NFL. But they got swept for nothing by the Yankees and the NBA. was the Minneapolis Lakers beat the Syracuse Nationals 4 -2 in the NBA Finals. Really wish Syracuse still had an NBA team because that's the closest sports city to me.

Burley (48:48.002)
Is Syracuse a big place?

Beard Laws (48:50.248)
Not huge, no, but it's it's the one of the bigger. Obviously, you can't compare to New York City and some places like that. But it's then it was even bigger. But I mean, they had the. I don't know when they lost it, to be honest, so look it up real quick. But I mean, you have like Carrier, the inventor of the AC, they had Carrier in there. There's even a Carrier Circle, the Carrier Dome. So, I mean, that was a very big, obviously, place for production. I'm assuming that's shut down. But let's see, Syracuse Nationals, NBA.

Burley (49:00.6)
When did they lose their team?

Burley (49:12.408)
No shame.

Beard Laws (49:20.68)
They're obvious. think actually I wonder if the Sixers ended up there. They officially leave central New York. They broke the family broke through in 1955. Let's see here. What happened? OK. They ruled the NBA as champions in 1955, winning the title, and they played in the Onondaga War Memorial, which was a cool place. The 1963 they departed Syracuse to become the Philadelphia 76ers.

Yep. So 63 was the last year. So, hey, Rob, you're welcome for your NBA team. Son of a bitch. But in Minneapolis Lakers, obviously, that was another team that was gone. NHL team that's still around Detroit Red Wings. They beat the Rangers in seven games. They beat them. College football, Oklahoma Sooners. They were the AP champions. College basketball. This one is wild to me. The CCNY.

Burley (49:56.543)
Hahaha

Beard Laws (50:21.628)
Beavers, the City College of New York was the NCAA basketball champions and they beat the Bradley Braves. Shows you how far college basketball. Imagine a city college winning the Division One college basketball championship.

Burley (50:37.739)
Yeah.

Well, I don't, I don't know if you, that reminds me of, uh, I think the world cup was this year. I saw this earlier. So that's why the only reason I know about the world cup. Apparently the U S beat England in the world cup one to nothing. It was considered one of the biggest upsets of all time. And then the, the U S didn't qualify for the world cup, I guess, till 1990 after that. So 1950 to 1990 was pretty dry.

Beard Laws (51:05.16)
Wow.

Burley (51:10.318)
I wonder if that's why the US doesn't give a fuck about

Beard Laws (51:14.568)
because they're just not good. Yeah, I

Burley (51:16.068)
Yeah, that's that's a leading theory now. That's now a leading theory right now. You just heard it here first folks. We just invented that. That's the leading theory. We sucked at soccer for 50 years or 40 years. Thus, that's why a whole generation of people doesn't give a fuck about

Beard Laws (51:22.31)
Mm -hmm. Yep, we're huge.

Beard Laws (51:33.692)
Yeah. And it's confusing because it's soccer here and football everywhere else. And we already have football, which is also confusing. Yeah, we made it better, but we don't even use our

Burley (51:39.746)
Yeah, we made it better. We how else do you get across the the end

Beard Laws (51:47.846)
You throw it and you catch

Burley (51:50.124)
and what are you on the whole

Beard Laws (51:52.904)
with the grass, grass ball. Well, back here in 1950, the invention of the NFL. We got about seven minutes left. Let's run through the top. That's run through, you want to do the top 10 or the top five? Let's go top 10 because I haven't heard a goddamn thing about this. And sorry, go again, if I butchered your segment, but we're going to talk about the top 10 movies of 1950.

Burley (51:53.782)
You footsies. You're on your footsies. They call it footsie ball.

Burley (52:20.664)
Let's play a game called Have You Heard Of This One? All right.

Beard Laws (52:23.528)
Okay, number 10. Gun crazy.

Burley (52:29.604)
Haven't heard of this one, but have you have you have you heard of this one? It's called Winchester 73

Beard Laws (52:31.154)
Directed by Joseph Lewis.

Beard Laws (52:36.794)
Haven't heard of that. I've heard of Winchester, a lot of guns. Number eight, in a lonely place, which is unfortunately where you are after giving up Zen.

Burley (52:47.636)
Yeah, I'd never heard of that one. But have you heard of Father of the Bride?

Beard Laws (52:53.552)
No, well there was a popular movie, what was it called? Yeah, that the name? Same name though, right? Okay, ooh, I wonder how that royalty battle went. This one, you're gonna giggle. Yeah, Vincent, yeah, your royalty really missed out. But number six, this one is interesting, called The Asphalt Jungle, directed by John Huston. Have you heard of

Burley (52:55.332)
Steve Martin. Totally different movie. Same name though.

Burley (53:05.196)
I don't know. Get after him. Vincent, a Manali.

Burley (53:18.788)
The asphalt jungle, I mean is that before the invention of concrete?

Beard Laws (53:24.913)
they had to have concrete, right? We should look up the, I'm gonna let's look the.

Burley (53:29.316)
Because I've heard of the concrete jungle where dreams are made of in New

Beard Laws (53:34.984)
Concrete was invented. Oh, well, this isn't going to be there because according to this 6 ,500 BC is when concrete structures were. So let's go. When was asphalt invented? 625 BC. Not very helpful, Google. I mean, it is, but the use of asphalt started thousands of years before the founding of USA. Mesopotamians are created for the first use of asphalt.

Burley (53:44.132)
Sweet.

Beard Laws (54:04.509)
for them.

Burley (54:05.86)
Fuck you, John

Beard Laws (54:07.464)
The Asphalt Jungle movie of 1950. Yeah, directed by John Huston with Sterling Hayden, Louie Keller, and a bunch of people I've never heard of. A major heist goes off as planned. So back to them.

Burley (54:18.829)
It's rough, dude.

Burley (54:25.476)
Shouldn't have called him John Heiston, am I right?

Beard Laws (54:28.658)
did it have Marilyn Monroe in it? No. Maybe it was remade with Marilyn Monroe.

Beard Laws (54:40.636)
Here, let's pull up this.

Beard Laws (54:47.332)
I you're right.

So this is the reason, so this is the Asphalt Jungle, the city under the city, a major heist goes off as planned, but the double cross is bad luck and solid police work caused everything to unravel, which is ironic because we covered Brink. There. Maybe they saw this movie and was like, we can do it better. Yeah, Marilyn Monroe was Angela Finlay.

Burley (55:07.938)
That's easy.

Wonder why I'm wonder she was a star in this I Haven't heard of a lot of these people. Wait, I scroll down scroll down scroll down. So don't Keep going It's a Western.

Beard Laws (55:14.632)
Cheers.

Beard Laws (55:21.864)
She, that's something else, yes. But yeah, right here, I mean, she was in

Burley (55:27.556)
She was Angela Finlay. Speaking of Finlay, these hats.

Beard Laws (55:29.414)
Yeah. Hey, we got Fiddle. Everything just keeps coming full circle. But the reason I said that, so if I go back right here, I mean, she's listed on this one, but not on the other one.

Burley (55:38.244)
Ah, okay. Well, I wonder if later on when she became the biggest star, they tossed her on as the, Especially for like once a home video became a thing, because that doesn't come along for another 20 years, probably. Yeah. Um.

Beard Laws (55:46.339)
Smart, that's a cool artwork right

Beard Laws (55:51.898)
Mm -hmm.

Beard Laws (55:57.352)
Huh, what's coming in at number five? The top five movies of 1950.

Burley (56:01.248)
All right, Harvey, directed by Henry Costner. You heard that one? You're

Beard Laws (56:08.444)
Rashomon directed by Akira Kurosawa.

Burley (56:15.392)
No, I haven't heard of that shit. Now, here's one I'm pretty sure, pretty sure we might know. How is this not number one? I don't know. Cinderella. Directed by three different people, apparently. Clyde Jeronimi, Wilfred Jackson and Hamilton Oluske.

Beard Laws (56:17.842)
Me neither.

Beard Laws (56:26.546)
Heard of that

Burley (56:40.012)
Is that is this the Disney? Cinderella.

Beard Laws (56:40.232)
I've heard of that

Beard Laws (56:43.816)
That's what, let's see here. Let's pull up the, unless Disney got the rights after, here's the Wicca Wicca Wikipedia 1950. Yeah, produced by Walt Disney, released by RKO Radio Pictures. A love story with music. It was the greatest since Snow White Color by Technicolor. There we go. We heard a one.

Burley (56:51.106)
Walt Disney Cinderella, there you go.

Burley (56:57.486)
Directed by three different people. Wow.

Burley (57:08.546)
I've tried to show my kids Cinderella recently and she's

Beard Laws (57:13.5)
like the original one or just any of the remakes.

Burley (57:15.374)
The way I the OG like, you know, Disney put put him out in like 4K or whatever. So I was like, maybe she can give a shit. I was

Beard Laws (57:24.432)
Yeah, well, mean, Disney was crushing it. They went from what Bambi to Snow White to Pinocchio or I don't know the order, but then Cinderella.

Burley (57:33.336)
Yeah, I didn't realize all these movies are so fucking old.

Beard Laws (57:36.242)
So old. That brings us to number two, Sunset Boulevard. I don't think I've heard of that one, but I feel like Sunset Boulevard is an iconic place.

Burley (57:41.913)
Never heard of

Burley (57:46.594)
I've been to Sunset Boulevard, if that helps.

Beard Laws (57:49.544)
yeah, was a desperate for cash screenwriter Joe Gillis had a chance meeting with a faded silent film star. I don't know. Let's show you this here. This is the IMDB of Sunset Boulevard. Still looks to be black and white. Yeah, screenwriter develops a dangerous relationship with the film star and determined to make a triumphant return.

Burley (58:12.472)
That's funny to think about. There's probably quite a few movies about this back then of talkies versus silent films. know, there's probably a lot of like little crossover shit like remember me? I was in your favorite silent film.

Beard Laws (58:26.786)
I said it won four Academy Awards, so it must have been pretty good.

Burley (58:32.588)
I like Academy Awards don't start meaning anything until like the late 60s, whenever movies were really good. They just get away with anything back then. I don't know shit about this movie. Have you heard of this one? It's called All About Eve, directed by Joseph L. Meckleks.

Beard Laws (58:37.778)
Mm -hmm.

Beard Laws (58:42.92)
the number one movie killed

Beard Laws (58:47.907)
What is

Beard Laws (58:54.824)
leaned it up in the, mean, IMDB still has it at an 8 .2 out of 10 with 140 ,000 ratings. It's a top 250 movie in of all time. Or no, sorry, 3 ,000, sorry, sorry, sorry, 3 ,911 all time and went down 250. Still a top 4 ,000 movie of all movies in the entire world. I feel like that's good.

Burley (59:06.852)
Top 150.

Burley (59:12.728)
Yeah, so that means

Burley (59:18.34)
I feel like we'd be really disappointed in the top 10 list of all times.

Beard Laws (59:22.278)
I kind of want to see that, but this is a, it's a drama that says seemingly timid, but secretly ruthless. Ingenue, what's that word? Ingenue? Did I say that right? Eve Harrington insinuates herself into the lives of an aging Broadway star, Margot Channing and her circle of theater friends in this Oscar winning story. It cleaned up, all these awards, a bunch of them. Betty Davis, Ann Baxter, George Sanders, Gary

Burley (59:32.238)
See you

Burley (59:44.228)
Six Oscars, best actor.

Beard Laws (59:52.658)
bunch of people I've never heard. Where? yeah, right here. Miss Caswell.

Burley (59:52.866)
Marilyn Monroe again.

Beard Laws (01:00:02.472)
Best picture, best director. It did a lot of big things. I'm not gonna watch it. I bet you Goot has watched it if he didn't watch it, I guarantee you he would have done his homework for it. We brought it up. I know we got a time travel back, but let's travel back and then we can, I just clicked, know how it said 3 ,900. We can go through the real quick if you want, the top five popular. All right, let's travel

Burley (01:00:17.006)
I would tell him right

Burley (01:00:27.684)
Let's do the top 10 or top five, whatever. Yeah. Right. back.

Burley (01:00:34.83)
The going back takes less time. For some reason. just, go ahead and just press it right here.

Beard Laws (01:00:38.15)
Yeah, you just…

Beard Laws (01:00:51.058)
It was all warmed

Burley (01:00:51.108)
We're back. It was, yeah, still warm. Still warm. I sat on it like I was incubating the whole time.

Beard Laws (01:00:57.448)
All right, let's do the top 10 according to IMDB. This is the chart, the movie meter. I don't know why that came out. Movie meter. The movie meter. This is according to it, the most popular movies. And this is as determined by IMDB users. Are you ready for number 10? Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes, which there's a lot of new movies on here.

Burley (01:01:06.316)
meter.

Burley (01:01:24.973)
Is that one of the old ones?

Beard Laws (01:01:26.44)
No, this was the new one, 2024, which

Burley (01:01:29.7)
And that's considered a top 10 movie of all time.

Beard Laws (01:01:32.72)
That's a by I am do and I don't know how this

Burley (01:01:34.775)
god damn it IMDB, Caesar's pissed.

Beard Laws (01:01:37.768)
Well, see, I'm going ranking, but all of these movies are new. So I don't understand, like all of them, 2024, 24, 24, 24. But then there's a 2000, 2023. They're all like brand new movies. So I don't know if we should even continue with this. And this is the list. Yeah, I'm just going to show you this, what I did. So I just went here. See how it's like, oh, popularity. So I click

Burley (01:01:45.917)
that's worse

Burley (01:01:56.194)
Yeah, I feel like that's just more people

Beard Laws (01:02:07.304)
and that it brought me right to here, the most popular movies.

Burley (01:02:10.276)
it's the popular movies. Popular. OK, these aren't like the greatest.

Beard Laws (01:02:13.468)
This is ranking, no sort by ranking. This is the ones that were ranked. Then if you went by IMDB rating, it was different than release day. You can go by the, this is the, you wanna go by the most number of ratings?

Burley (01:02:21.26)
There we go. There we go. Let's go. Let's go by the IMDB rating.

Yeah, because that's going to be the Shawshank makes sense. Interstellar makes.

Beard Laws (01:02:31.174)
Yep, Shawshank was one. Yeah, the Godfather had, you know what I mean? This is the most rankings, not the highest based on their Gladiator, Back to the Future, Titanic, Deadpool, Mad Max, The Shining, Dune, Part One, Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. But then if we switch it over to the actual highest IMDB rating, still have Shawshank, then The Godfather, Interstellar, Dune, Part Two, Gladiator, Back to the Future, The Shining, Oppenheimer.

Incendi's Top Gun Maverick, which was way apparently high py ratings in the original, inside out. People love that shit, Mad Max. Jaws. Kill.

Burley (01:03:09.39)
When was, how many of those, those movies have you seen?

Beard Laws (01:03:13.704)
I've seen Shawshank, seen the Godfather. I have not seen Interstellar. I haven't seen Dune. I've seen the Gladiator. I've seen Back to the Future. I've seen The Shining. I did not see Oppenheimer. I didn't see Incendies, if I'm saying that right. I did watch the newest Top Gun. I did see Inside Out with a kid. I did not see the Mad Max Fury. I've seen Jaws. I haven't seen Kill. I haven't seen Dune Part One.

Burley (01:03:27.886)
I don't know what

Burley (01:03:40.932)
I have not ever seen Top Gun 1. I never saw the first one. There's nothing for me. You gotta see Interstellar. I put that one up there. That's a baller ass movie.

Beard Laws (01:03:44.198)
Yeah, I saw the first and I was like, yeah, I'm gonna watch the next

Beard Laws (01:03:53.843)
Okay. Yeah, there's so many movies on the list that I probably should watch. But that's our time. That's our time. We did it. That was fun. We made it through 1950. We found some positives we shed on it a little bit. But either way, that was pretty good. We're gonna be back next week. Don't know what year yet depends on some video submissions. But again, if you guys want to submit one, you saw what Damon did. He just sent a quick 1520 second video picked a random year.

Burley (01:03:58.869)
Hahaha.

Beard Laws (01:04:18.46)
But I do wanna say if you do wanna pick a random year, maybe reach out to me on Instagram or something first so you don't do a year that's already been done and we can't use it. That has happened. Either way, we're gonna be back next week, fully staffed with a new year. Super excited. Hopefully you guys are enjoying

Burley (01:04:32.024)
What do we do when we run out of years?

Beard Laws (01:04:35.624)
I feel like that's going to take a very long

Beard Laws (01:04:41.)
I mean, we have from, let's see, what do we have? We have from 19, 19, 2023 to 1930. That's 93 years. So that's 93 weeks.

Burley (01:04:46.468)
We have less than 100 episodes.

Burley (01:04:53.24)
Mm -hmm.

Beard Laws (01:04:56.87)
I think, yeah, it's a long time. We'll

Burley (01:04:58.852)
When that happens, we'll cross that road when get here. We'll delete the whole show and start over.

Beard Laws (01:05:03.208)
Yes. Well, the beauty of being Triple T is we can time travel, we can be whatever by then. Hopefully people still watch it then. 93 weeks, come back and we'll be, yeah, just like 150 episodes of the Rage and Pillage. Go watch it. I didn't think of that. That's good idea. All right, now that we're gonna ponder everything, we'll see you next week. Be good to your wieners. Keep your sticks on the house. Limited time.

Burley (01:05:14.308)
Yeah, you got 93 weeks, bitches. Or we just end it. We just call it. We just move on to something else.

Just.

Burley (01:05:30.69)
Limited time.

Beard Laws (01:05:32.902)
Bye!
