The speaker discusses watching old TV shows from the 50s and 60s and reflects on how much times have changed. They mention specific shows and characters, and highlight the outdated and sometimes racist content that was accepted back then. They find value in these shows as a time capsule of societal norms and what was considered acceptable at the time. The conversation also briefly veers off topic to discuss the movie "Speed". That's true. Yeah. That's true. I just watched that. She watches the old show when TV was born. There was a show called Maddy Goat Junkie. Okay. We can put this as an extra feature or whatever, but she watches these old shows that absolutely make my skin crawl. I can't stand the quaintness and... I love it. Yeah, I know you do. But you will find all these people that you're like, oh my gosh, look how young, oh, I know him. They were on these shows. Clint Eastwood, Charles Bronson. Sure. Rawhide, right? Yeah. Rawhide. Yeah. Yeah. Well... And his name was Rowdy. Talk about cool names. Rowdy Gates. Yeah. And they have the crossovers. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay. The thing that blows... Okay. I can't stand them. They're just so hokey. But it's interesting because these shows were all made in the 50s and whatever. No, 60s. Okay. Whatever. 60s. Basically the same. I mean, before I was born, but in the 60s. Yeah. Early 60s, which is late 50s. It is interesting to note how things have changed. Okay. So I'm... Me and Chris have the same reaction when you said that. Late 50s and early 60s are two different things. They're not the same. Okay. Whatever. It's like... It's a time before he was born that doesn't matter. It's like North Florida and South Georgia. Okay. Yeah. A time you despise. Got it. Anyway. So there's... I'm making my coffee and it's on and I'm just listening because, you know, she's got to it on and I'm trying to get out of there as fast as I can, but it is so interesting the times, how they have changed because there's a husband and wife on their second honeymoon at the freaking stupid hotel or whatever it's called, the Shady Rest or whatever the hell it's called. Yes. Anyway. And he is telling this other guy how much he loves his wife. And he's saying things like, she's a great housekeeper and she's a great mother and that makes her a great wife. Well, see, now that's interesting, man, because you say times have changed, but that's exactly how that fucking kicker feels from the Kansas City Chiefs, right? And maybe they made a big speech about women need to stay in the kitchen and make me a sandwich and have my kids and that makes them great. Right? I mean, you've heard this, this, this guy, like, yeah, but a commencement speech. And the woman was totally happy with that. Like, no, read the room, man. Yeah. It's the end of the year. But there was a time when that, like, okay, your job is to keep the house. Sure. And on the show, the woman was totally thrilled by that. Right. Okay. Now there was at work, the television is on and they don't have cable, any of these over the air channels or whatever. And father knows best. Another one absolutely makes me want to vomit was on and I'm putting my stuff in my locker or getting my lunch or whatever. And they spare no expense. No, they don't. And so the youngest daughter has gotten this cardboard cutout from a store that she's brought home. Okay. And it and the father doesn't like it because it's kind of spooky looking. But it works out. Okay. Okay. It is a African American man, but totally dressed in jungle garb. I mean, every stereotype of the primitive natives of dark Africa, you can imagine, like, I'm looking at this and I'm like, I'm cringing at how racist this thing is. Okay. And but hey, back then, you know, whatever. So these old shows, the only value I see is the time capsule of just what we put up with, you know, what was considered. And I'm sure there are others that I've come across. Yeah. The little rascals. They won't play certain. Sure. Well, yeah. But but this, you know, anyway. Yeah. Yeah. You're a great housekeeper. Okay. Yeah. Well, that's terrible. I still want to live in that world. I want to live where you don't have a road. You just have to get there by train and run a little. This will all be. You can still do that. You just won't have electricity. Yeah. No, they have electricity. They don't have a phone. I can deal with that. I'm just saying you could do that now. Oh, yeah. You just go. All right. What movie are we interviewing? I don't even know. Speed? Speed. That will be a. That's good. Yeah. That was off topic. That was off topic last night for me. I know. I said that earlier on my little voyage to go get speed. I stood up after dinner and go, I'm going to go buy some speed. Yeah. Everybody's like, what? I was like, the movie. Yeah. I'm going to get speed. I need the movie.
