Tech Talk Oscars special! Does anyone at the academy actually watch movies? Spring break takes

00:00
Speaker 1
Foreign.

00:13
Speaker 2
Welcome to Tech Talk Podcast, an official podcast of Technician NC State student media. I didn't say sports this time because this episode is a little bit different. Our two main sports writers, Connor and Daniel, our two main hosts of the.

00:31
Speaker 3
Show, and also Brennan.

00:32
Speaker 2
They're at the ACC tournament for our men's basketball team. So we're taking over this time to do a bit more non sports talk. A big thing that we're going to be talking about today is the Oscars. That is happening this Sunday.

00:44
Speaker 3
Yes.

00:45
Speaker 4
March 15th at what, 8?

00:48
Speaker 3
Girl, I don't know.

00:49
Speaker 4
Watch it on Hulu.

00:50
Speaker 2
And we'll also be doing some talk about spring break and finally being able to enjoy the sun and be outside. I am Hector, normally in the producer chair off camera. I am the video editor of Technician.

01:02
Speaker 4
I'm Olivia. I am the copy desk chief.

01:04
Speaker 1
I'm Brennan. I talk about sports.

01:07
Speaker 3
I'm Kelsey. I'm the culture editor.

01:10
Speaker 2
All right, so I think to kick everything off the Oscars is the big thing that you guys wanted to talk about here. So I'll let. I guess Kelsey take lead on this.

01:19
Speaker 3
All right, so we're gonna break down, like, the big five categories of the Oscars. We're gonna talk about best actor, best director, best picture, best actress, and best screenplay. So first of all, Conan o' Brien.

01:32
Speaker 4
Is hosting for the second time.

01:34
Speaker 3
For the second time. But you know what? After the La Land, like, moonlight thing, I think that they're taking someone who they know is not gonna mess it up, and they're like, you have to stay.

01:42
Speaker 4
Yes. I mean, and plus, we can't have, like, Ricky Gervais hosting for, like, the 10th time.

01:46
Speaker 3
Right.

01:46
Speaker 4
And because his, like, his jokes don't, like, land anymore. Yeah, they're too offensive.

01:50
Speaker 3
Did you laugh at anything Conan o' Brien said last year? No, I didn't really either.

01:54
Speaker 4
But I think it's just like, he's a gender, and so gingers just have priority in mainstream media.

02:00
Speaker 1
In what world is that true?

02:03
Speaker 4
Emma Stone.

02:05
Speaker 1
Okay. And name three others.

02:07
Speaker 4
Jesse Plemons is a strawberry blonde, so ginger.

02:10
Speaker 1
I don't think that counts.

02:11
Speaker 4
I think it counts. Who else? There's. Jessie Buckley was a ginger at one point.

02:18
Speaker 3
Yeah.

02:19
Speaker 4
Jennifer Lawrence was a ginger at one point.

02:20
Speaker 1
I'm hearing a lot of women.

02:22
Speaker 4
Okay, exactly. Because Conan is the poster child for men who are gingers.

02:27
Speaker 3
Yeah.

02:27
Speaker 1
And he is followed by.

02:31
Speaker 3
I can't think of a single other character. I can't think of a ginger. That's crazy. Toby from the office. Is he a ginger?

02:38
Speaker 4
Oh, Wait.

02:41
Speaker 3
Or is he blonde? I can't remember. He's strawberry blonde, but it counts.

02:46
Speaker 4
I don't know.

02:48
Speaker 3
Okay. But anyways, to move on. So Sinners has 16 nominations, which it beat La Land and Titanic and there was one other. I can't remember the name.

02:57
Speaker 4
It was Killing Eve.

02:59
Speaker 3
Yes, Killing Eve. Yes, Something like that. Yeah. So in terms of Best Picture, that doesn't always necessarily mean that you're going to win Best Picture because La Land did get a record Number of nominations. 14, and did not win Best Picture,

03:18
Speaker 4
So I'd argue that also. So Sinners is up for Best Picture.

03:22
Speaker 3
Yes.

03:22
Speaker 4
We have. Let's see, we have Begonia, F1, Frankenstein, Hamnet, Marty Supreme, One Bader After Another, the Secret Agent, and then Sentimental Value. I think even though I would. And Sinners. And Sinners. I would love Sinners to win. It's a horror movie and the Academy just hates horror movies because they don't like fun, to be honest.

03:43
Speaker 3
They hate fun. You heard it here first.

03:46
Speaker 4
But so I think on that, I think Paul Thomas Anderson's gonna get it with one battle.

03:50
Speaker 3
Oh, yeah. I don't think there's any question what else did One battle after another. It's been cleaning up. It won Best film, Musical or Comedy at the Golden Globes, and at that point, it did also beat Marty supreme and Begonia.

04:02
Speaker 4
Yeah.

04:02
Speaker 3
It did not beat Sinners, though, at the Golden Globes because it was in a different category. But it's been like cleaning up. It's got to be one battle after another. Yeah. Which I actually really liked.

04:15
Speaker 2
Really?

04:17
Speaker 1
What was your favorite part of the movie?

04:19
Speaker 3
I liked. I liked the car chase scene at the end.

04:24
Speaker 1
That was good.

04:24
Speaker 3
I like the car chase scene at the end. I like the hill. The hills were metaphorical. Okay. One battle after another. The hills.

04:32
Speaker 2
I want to preface the rest of this conversation. I have not seen a single one of these movies.

04:38
Speaker 3
Okay.

04:38
Speaker 2
I'm just here.

04:39
Speaker 3
We should be transparent about how many of these we've actually seen. But this is like true Academy fashion where, like, some of us have actually seen the movies and some of us have not seen.

04:46
Speaker 1
They don't watch the movies.

04:47
Speaker 3
They don't watch the movies.

04:49
Speaker 4
So apparently they're trying to change that, which I guess they're gonna put them in a lock screen browser or something. Lockdown browser. To make them watch all the movies.

04:56
Speaker 3
To make them watch all the movies.

04:58
Speaker 4
There was the Academy. Whoever is the SAG AFRA director, He, like, was in an interview or something and he said something along the lines of like they're trying to make them watch all of the movies. How they do that, they didn't say. But I think we're gonna send a.

05:13
Speaker 3
Chaperone to your house all weekend. You have to sit down, you have to watch.

05:17
Speaker 2
Somebody is going to be paid to watch people watch a movie.

05:21
Speaker 4
It's like what, 15 hours almost of stuff. You have to watch more. More.

05:25
Speaker 3
It's got to be more than that. Yeah, but also like, that's got to be another reason why horror movies can never win. Because I feel like it's such. It's for some people, like, you would never hear someone be like, oh, I don't watch any historical fiction because I hate it. But like, with horror you're going to have a very selective audience where it's like, there's a lot of people who are like, I will never watch horror. I just don't like it. So, you know, Silence of the Lambs I think was the last thing that won like 30 years ago. But even that, like, yes, it was a horror film, but it was so it. I don't know, it's true crime based and it's just like, I don't know.

05:57
Speaker 1
Well, Sinners has depth too.

06:00
Speaker 3
Yes.

06:00
Speaker 1
It's not just a horror film.

06:02
Speaker 3
It's not. But I think, I don't know, it might win.

06:06
Speaker 4
I don't think it will though. I struggle because like, yes, it wasn't like horror. It's horror coded and not. It doesn't subverts the genre in many ways. But I feel like because of its gore, because of its like just nature of like the stereotype of horror films, I think that's what's preventing a lot of Academy members for voting for it. Yeah, because like, sure, they love like mainstream pop culture, but like they also want to be like different and cool and even though one battle after another, even all of the best picture ones are like kind of different and cool. Like, yeah, one battle after another is the most in line with what they've done voted in the past. And they don't like change in that nature. They're pretentious like that.

06:47
Speaker 3
Yeah, I agree. I feel like Sinners was really marketed as a horror movie, at least like from my perspective. And I do think that I. Yeah, I don't think. I don't know.

06:59
Speaker 4
No, I agree. I don't know. And then we do have one movie that I think we should talk about immensely and a lot. Marty Supreme, Timothy Chalamet, you know, I.

07:09
Speaker 3
Have a lot to say. Okay, what did we like About Marty supreme, before we say other.

07:14
Speaker 2
Tyler, the creator. I know.

07:16
Speaker 4
Yes.

07:17
Speaker 3
Tyler the creator. He did a great job.

07:19
Speaker 4
He was great. I think for me, I really liked the obsession of it. I think I've been really getting into how obsession for the art and just doing it even to the point of death almost. Now, obviously, Marty supreme, he doesn't die because he wants to play ping pong, but he definitely has that energy. That was good, I think. Not Josh Safdie's best, but it was okay and I liked it.

07:45
Speaker 3
I love a film where you hate or like anything. A film, a book, whatever, where you hate the protagonist. I think that's a hard thing to do successfully. I don't necessarily think that Marty supreme did it successfully, but I do enjoy, like, the premise where it's like, there's a protagonist where you're like, man, I really want to like this guy, but I just can't. It's very sapphty. But also, I don't know, I just like it.

08:12
Speaker 1
I like movies where you like the protagonist.

08:15
Speaker 3
I think there's like a. Like. Okay. For example, a movie that I think does it very well is Zendaya in Challengers, where it's like, you really can't support her decisions in that movie, but you still like her at the end of the day. But, like, it's like, if you had to boil down her character, she's very manipulative and, like, she just doesn't know what she wants and she hurts a lot of people, including her daughter. So, like, you can't necessarily justify her actions. But no one's walking around being like, oh, like, I hated her character, like, as much as they are with Marty Supreme.

08:44
Speaker 4
I hated Marty Supreme.

08:45
Speaker 3
I hated Marty Supreme. I'm gonna get it tattooed on you.

08:48
Speaker 1
Is there some underlying hate for Timothee Chalamet?

08:52
Speaker 3
I want to clarify. I went to see Marty supreme, like, months ago before the Timothee Chalamet drama started and was like, I can't wait. This is going to best picture.

09:02
Speaker 1
That started this week.

09:04
Speaker 3
Yeah, well, no, there were some other things.

09:06
Speaker 4
There was other ye.

09:07
Speaker 3
Yeah, he said some stuff about, like,

09:08
Speaker 4
Women or something like that because he's so method actory.

09:13
Speaker 3
So obviously had to come for the women. Cuz, like, I mean, he was busy.

09:18
Speaker 2
Being a UK drill rapper or something like that, so.

09:20
Speaker 3
Yes.

09:22
Speaker 1
Yeah.

09:22
Speaker 4
What was that guy's name?

09:26
Speaker 3
We're terrible.

09:27
Speaker 2
Timothy Shalom.

09:30
Speaker 3
They're the same person. Anyways, I don't remember what I was talking about. Oh, I went to go see it in Theaters. And I was like, this is going to be such an amazing film. I can't wait. And as I watched it, I just kept. I was like, oh, oh, okay.

09:46
Speaker 4
Yeah.

09:47
Speaker 3
Then my perception was shattered. Okay, what are some things that you didn't like about it?

09:54
Speaker 4
Well, I think it was overhyped and also, like, unrealistic. Just like, in general, I feel like.

10:02
Speaker 1
So movies have to be realistic.

10:04
Speaker 4
No, not at all. Not at all. No. I think unrealistic in a character sense. I think Marty Mauser, to me, was someone who was totally obsessed with ping pong. And the idea that he won a fake match, that didn't matter. And that was like, oh, my gosh, I've done it. I've made it. And then he just goes back to being with a family, with a girl that he basically, like, blue. Blow off. What did I say? Blew off the whole movie because she was pregnant with his kid. And he saw his kid and was like, oh, my gosh. And then he wanted to be the perfect dad.

10:34
Speaker 3
Unrealistic.

10:35
Speaker 4
I just, like, can't imagine that his whole, what, two hour and like, 15 minute arc was, oh, he's a family man now.

10:43
Speaker 3
Yeah, I agree. My other issue was, like, they tried to give him, like, a redemption arc at the end where it was like, oh, my gosh, he's gonna be a great father. Whatever. If he would have lost that ping pong match, nothing would have changed. He was, like, gonna be the same person. He was gonna keep. Like, he was gonna try to get back into the main competition. He was gonna try to set up another match with this guy or somebody else. Like, we would have had another. Like, we would have had a sequel, basically, if he lost that match. And that, to me, shows zero character development. No, go away. What do you had to take on it.

11:17
Speaker 1
But, I mean, isn't that the point? If the most significant event in someone's life doesn't happen, then they're a different person.

11:25
Speaker 3
Yes, but.

11:26
Speaker 1
But it did happen.

11:27
Speaker 3
It did happen. But it was hard for me to believe that, like, Olivia was saying that event was enough to truly change him in the sequel. He leaves his wife and his child. I mean, we can't. Like, there's no way in the sequel. Like, the sequel is not like, no, it's not. He left his wife and his child, and he is, like, off.

11:50
Speaker 4
Like, he got involved with the mafia to go get money to go to Japan. Like, I don't know, like, the idea of, like, oh, my gosh, I won this match.

11:59
Speaker 3
Yay.

11:59
Speaker 4
I can't go to the actual championships because everyone hates me and blacklisted me. And he's not upset about that. I'm sorry. The serotonin high from that one match could not have been that much for that.

12:10
Speaker 3
His character is such a perfectionist and so obsessive that it just doesn't feel realistic that he would have just been like, okay, I did it and I'm done. And maybe that speaks to his mental health or something like that. Maybe that is, like, a good arc for his character specifically. But for someone who didn't know anything about, like, the history of the film going in, I was like, that doesn't make any sense.

12:39
Speaker 4
Yeah.

12:40
Speaker 3
I don't know. The scene of, like, him just, like, looking at his baby and just, like, being a changed man.

12:44
Speaker 4
I was like, timothy did a great job. I will say, like, he did a great job acting. I think that he does contend for best actor, though. Do we all want Michael B. Jordan to win? I think so.

12:56
Speaker 1
Do we want to talk about that?

12:57
Speaker 3
We can't talk about that. I think we should talk about it, actually.

13:02
Speaker 1
I don't think that Michael B. Jordan should win. I think Timothee Chalamet and Leonardo DiCaprio and Michael B. Jordan are very big names, and they're the front runners for the award. And I think all of them had not their best performances or, I mean, not even close to their best performances. Some people, I guess, like Leo in his, you know, later career. Okay, you don't like him?

13:26
Speaker 4
No, I hate him.

13:27
Speaker 1
Yeah, whatever.

13:28
Speaker 3
The ponytail and one battle after another was a lot for me. That was a lot for me. Oh, my God.

13:33
Speaker 1
But I don't. I don't think Michael B. Jordan should win. I think he's a really good actor, but he's just been coasting a little bit, and he acts. It's too. Too much the same. You can just take his characters and pick them up and put them back down, and you wouldn't be able to tell that anything's different. I mean, there's one scene that just. You're sitting there, you're immersed in the movie, and he's talking to Del Rey's character, and he's like, you know, he cracks open his beer, he's like, oh, what you got there, boy? And he's like, oh, this? It's an Irish beer straight from the north side of Chicago. Shut up.

14:16
Speaker 3
That was good. You should be an actor.

14:19
Speaker 2
Can we nominate you for.

14:21
Speaker 3
We're gonna be.

14:22
Speaker 4
We're gonna submit you to the Academy.

14:24
Speaker 3
Don't you worry.

14:24
Speaker 4
I Got contacts. Thanks, guys.

14:26
Speaker 1
Thanks. But no, I don't think you should win.

14:28
Speaker 4
No, I get what you're saying.

14:30
Speaker 1
I think Wagner Mora had a great performance. He makes that whole movie, like, the whole movie is just his job. Acting.

14:37
Speaker 3
He beat Michael Jordan at the Golden Globes, so that's something to keep one.

14:42
Speaker 1
On one, like, first.

14:43
Speaker 3
No, no. But they were in the same category. No, no. Head to head. The Golden Glob by, like, comedy, musical, or, like, drama. So he was in a separate category from Timothee Chalamet. Yes, And I believe Leonardo DiCaprio as well. I'm not sure. Yes, but he did beat Michael B. Jordan at the Golden Globe, so that's something to keep in mind. I don't think. Okay. There's a difference between, like, who should win and who the Academy is going to pick to win. The Academy is going to pick Michael B. Jordan because it's a sensation or potentially Timothee Chalamet. I don't know if Timothee Chalamet's like, a villain arc in IRL is gonna be enough for the Academy to not pick him.

15:32
Speaker 4
Yeah. I don't know. I feel like. Because, okay, it's been within the past, like, two weeks that Variety interview came out where he's talking about, you know, hating on ballet and opera. I feel like our society in general, like, just like, to hop on the cancel train or like, the. Oh, my gosh, you said something bad. I'm not gonna follow you.

15:49
Speaker 2
Yeah.

15:49
Speaker 4
But I argue that the Academy doesn' mindset, and because it was like a very, like, emotional movie, like, Timothy did a great job. I think that he still has a very big contender.

16:00
Speaker 3
He's a contender for sure.

16:02
Speaker 4
I don't know. I think. I don't think Leonardo DiCaprio has it. I'm sorry.

16:05
Speaker 3
He has.

16:05
Speaker 4
I think out of every actor in that movie, it was. It wasn't the best for me.

16:11
Speaker 3
Yeah.

16:11
Speaker 4
I think he got out acting.

16:13
Speaker 3
He did a great job, but he wasn't the standout, in my opinion.

16:16
Speaker 4
Yeah, yeah. No, I totally agree.

16:17
Speaker 3
Yeah.

16:20
Speaker 2
Actress.

16:22
Speaker 3
Well, it's.

16:23
Speaker 4
There's really only one choice. Well, though, I do, like, if I had legs, I'd kick you. That was, like, a really good contender, but I think Hamnet with Jessie Buckley.

16:32
Speaker 3
It's Hamnet with Jessie Buckley.

16:34
Speaker 4
She's just a hammer.

16:35
Speaker 3
She cleaned up. She's won, like, every critics Choice, actor awards, BAFTAs, and Golden Globes. She all picked up best Actress. It's happening for her also.

16:43
Speaker 4
I feel like the choices this year for Best actress are very. All over the place compared to best actor and director. Like, they all are from very different films that didn't really get a lot of nominations.

16:54
Speaker 3
Yeah. Across all, like, Kate Hudson.

16:56
Speaker 4
Kate Hudson, Yeah. Yeah. For Songs from Blue. Like, I'm sorry. That movie was crazy.

17:00
Speaker 3
Yeah.

17:01
Speaker 4
Like, it's. Have you guys. Do you guys know what that's about? It's about. You guys have to know. It's about a Neil diamond cover band. It's not even about Neil diamond himself. And, like, biopic crazy. It's like a biopic, but, like, not about the pot, like the pop star or whatever. If you consider Neil Diamond. It's just, like, a very, like, interesting premise. And I think the. Like, they have a really bad. They have a bad rap, I guess they get.

17:29
Speaker 3
Was it, like, good? It was okay. Okay. Did she do a good job?

17:33
Speaker 4
She did do a good job. I feel like Kate Hudson does a good job in everything she's in, though. I kind of. I think similar to Michael B. Jordan. I think she kind of coasts a lot in her roles, especially as now she's, like, getting older. I'm not talking about the aging woman in Hollywood. Like, let women age. But, like.

17:45
Speaker 3
Right.

17:46
Speaker 1
Can she not win because she's.

17:48
Speaker 4
No, no. That's exactly not what I'm saying. But I feel like because she plays the same person in multiple roles, I think that kind of is her downfall.

17:54
Speaker 3
Yeah.

17:55
Speaker 4
But I do love her. She's slay.

17:57
Speaker 3
I do feel like Timothee Chalamet, at least with Bob Dylan and then Marty supreme, he played that he was the same person. I agree, like, in both of those roles. And I mean, with the biopic thing, I know he's trying to pick up a best actor, but I'm like, can you. Can we see someone who. When I watch Timothee Chalamet play someone like Bob Dylan and then also be that person in his life, or at least in, like, his PR life, it makes me feel like he's not a good actor because I'm like, that's just who you are. You're playing yourself.

18:25
Speaker 1
Have you seen.

18:27
Speaker 4
He's great in Dune.

18:29
Speaker 1
Yeah, you should watch them.

18:30
Speaker 3
Dune was good. But we're, like, on, like, now we're on Timothee Chalamet. Like, that was, like, the transition between, like, Flower Boy, Timothee Chalamet, Greta Gerwig, Little Women. Then we had Dune, which was like, I'm becoming independent and more masculine. And now we've like.

18:46
Speaker 4
And then he shaded off his hair,

18:49
Speaker 3
And then the buzz cut.

18:50
Speaker 1
Part two.

18:51
Speaker 3
Yeah, I like Dune Part two. Dune Part one, Put me to sleep. Part two. I actually did. I actually did. I swear.

18:59
Speaker 4
Dune, the first and foremost, put you to sleep as well.

19:01
Speaker 3
I could not stay awake. I wrote an article about it.

19:05
Speaker 4
But I also like Dune, too. I vibed with her. Yeah.

19:10
Speaker 3
Okay. Also, Emma Stone, Begonia. I know that she's not going to win Best Actress, but I really liked Begonia. But I also am, like, a very big horror fan, so maybe that was. I might be partial. And I liked her acting in Begonia. Not necessarily because it was, like, so, like, top tier, but, like, I feel like when I watch a movie with Emma Stone, I see Emma Stone a lot in it. Like, especially with her roles that she did, like, I don't know, when she was, like, younger.

19:39
Speaker 4
Easy A.

19:40
Speaker 3
Yes. I like, Emma Stone is Emma Stone. Is Emma Stone. Crazy, stupid love. Like, she is Emma Stone in every movie. And I love that character.

19:48
Speaker 4
Even in La Land, I was Emma Stone.

19:50
Speaker 3
She is Emma Stone and she has such an amazing personality that, like, it works for me every time. Like, La Land is one of my favorite movies. But I really liked seeing her in Begonia. You don't like Lava Land?

20:00
Speaker 1
No, no, I like Lava.

20:01
Speaker 3
Okay. Anyways, I did actually watch that one. Guys, continue. But in Begonia, she was someone completely different who was so opposite of, like, the Emma Stone, like, type personality. And I enjoyed that. I thought she did a good job with that character.

20:18
Speaker 4
No, I agree. I think Begonia was the second film I watched, like, when I was, like, watching all of them or, like, attempting to watch all of them. And as far as, like, it was really good. It was really done. To be honest, the ending kind of fell a little flat for me, I think, because it was like, oh, we.

20:32
Speaker 3
Need to talk about the ending.

20:34
Speaker 4
Like, the whole conspiracy theory thing. Like, I kind of. I thought it was going to be subversive in the way of, like, oh, it's actually there. There's no conspiracy, guys. But obviously it was.

20:44
Speaker 3
But if there was no conspiracy, I feel like you would just kind of.

20:46
Speaker 4
Be like, yeah. I don't know. I guess I just kind of wanted, like, oh, my gosh.

20:50
Speaker 3
I loved it. I was screaming when I was.

20:53
Speaker 4
I think that. But out of all of. What is his name? Yorgos Lassimos? Yeah, I think.

20:58
Speaker 3
I don't know. I don't know his last name.

20:59
Speaker 4
Don't cancel me, guys. But out of all of his films, that was definitely my favorite watch. Okay. I added his. All, like, his filmography. I Was like, I would watch it again.

21:08
Speaker 3
Yeah. I love Emma Stone's like, arc where she's working with him.

21:12
Speaker 4
Yeah.

21:12
Speaker 3
Like the movies that they've put out together. I don't know. He's like, picked her up as his, like, muse and I kind of love that, especially because she did go from doing like, very family oriented movies and then all of a sudden we got Poor Things and it was like, oh, yeah, okay.

21:26
Speaker 4
Which I feel like Land is probably why she's be getting so many, like, new roles. Probably once you get an Oscar, I mean, or somewhat. She. Did she win an Oscar for Land? I don't think so, but it was not.

21:39
Speaker 3
No, but she just got one. She didn't she just get one for. What did she win one for?

21:45
Speaker 2
Don't look at me.

21:46
Speaker 3
I don't think it was La Land. But Hector, what did she win it for? For?

21:51
Speaker 2
I'll tell you.

21:53
Speaker 3
She just got one.

21:54
Speaker 2
She won best act for what? I'm telling you right now. For Poor Things.

22:03
Speaker 4
Yes.

22:04
Speaker 3
Okay. I. I wanted. I thought, I thought so. Yeah. Yeah. She just won for Poor Things too. So. Yeah.

22:09
Speaker 2
What are we thinking about the directors?

22:11
Speaker 4
Okay.

22:11
Speaker 3
All right. Hector's like, move on. Yeah. It's Paul Thomas Anderson over and over again. It's him. He is him.

22:22
Speaker 4
There's actually. Yeah. There's no other. I think that, like, sentimental value was good, but. And I loved, like, it's. I don't know, the like, slice of life. I always. I love a good slice of life film, truly. But as far as like, directing. No, I think Paul Thomas Anderson got it.

22:38
Speaker 3
Yeah.

22:38
Speaker 4
Even Chloe Zhao. Well, Chloe Zhao has had a lot of time in the Academy. She's won a couple things, got passed over for a lot. And I think that Hamnet just doesn't reach best director. Like, I. When I watched that, I didn't think, oh, my gosh, the directing in here is like, great. You know what I mean?

22:55
Speaker 3
Yeah. But Ryan Coogler.

22:58
Speaker 4
Okay, Sinners.

22:59
Speaker 3
Ryan Coogler for Sinners, I will say the one scene where they're all in the barn and they have the dancers from different eras and the music from different eras that felt like. It felt like something where it was unexpected enough that I was like, this is kind of a bold choice. And I feel like it's something that, like, you take a risk on where, like, there's like, it's possible that a film critic is going to see that and be like, that has no place in this movie. It was so beautiful when I watched that I was just like, wow. Because just the way that they were able to demonstrate the impact of dance and music on culture and stuff like that, I was like, what a beautiful way to demonstrate that. I loved it so much. And I love him.

23:38
Speaker 3
I don't think he's going to win this one, but he did do a really fantastic job with the direction.

23:43
Speaker 4
He did a fantastic job. Sinners is just fantastic. And it's no wonder because it got 16 nominations.

23:48
Speaker 3
Sure.

23:48
Speaker 4
I think it does suck that they probably won't win as many as they should. Yeah. But I guess that's just like the name of the game and to get nominated is an honor.

23:56
Speaker 3
Yeah. He can be proud of those 16 nominations because Dang girl, do we do all of them. Screenplay.

24:03
Speaker 4
Screenplay. Well, screenplay. I feel like it's probably gonna be Paul Thomas Anderson for One Battle after another only because in past whatever gets best Picture, best Director is obviously going to get best screenplay. Yeah, I guess not obviously, but that's where the trend line.

24:22
Speaker 3
You never know.

24:23
Speaker 4
You never know what the Academy, maybe they're trying to switch it up this year. I fear they. They never normally do. It's so I think it's gonna be one battle also.

24:32
Speaker 3
One battle after another. Just kind of hit it with like the political relevance. They just like released at an amazing time and like just kind of so happened to like really hit home with like the current like political climate. And I think that's gonna resonate. That's probably one of the reasons. Not. I mean, it's an amazing film too. Why One Battle After Another has resonated so much with so many people. So anyways, I don't know. Does that wrap up Oscar's talk? We've gone through all the categories.

25:01
Speaker 4
Anyone have anything else to say?

25:02
Speaker 3
Can we talk about the ending of Begonia?

25:04
Speaker 4
Oh, yeah. Well, yeah, I guess. Spoiler ahead. If you haven't seen.

25:07
Speaker 3
Oh yeah. If you haven't seen Begonia, it's been out for a while, so that's kind of on you. But we are gonna talk about the ending. Okay.

25:11
Speaker 2
Wait, I'm gonna watch.

25:13
Speaker 4
Okay, well. Okay, well, like close.

25:17
Speaker 3
Okay, tell me what you didn't like about it.

25:20
Speaker 4
I just. I just thought it was like, okay, obviously, you know what I mean? Like, it was just like, oh, I wasn't shocked, to be honest.

25:29
Speaker 3
Sure.

25:29
Speaker 4
And I just kind of was like, damn. Like I would have rather had them be like completely wrong. Cuz then like both of their deaths. Spoiler. They die with the fuck. Sorry. Just because they die, it's like and they're just like, oh, but they are aliens. And so then. And then the whole world, like, please.

25:47
Speaker 3
I liked it because I think if they would have tried to make the aliens, like, super scary and, like, really try to, like, drive the point home of, like, oh, my gosh, like, we're living in a world of aliens, like, whatever. It was the fact that they made them look insane and be, like, so silly and that the way that humanity died was her literally, like, just, like, popping the bubble. I was just like. I. I don't know. I'm not gonna necessarily say that it was, like, amazing, but I had a great time watching it.

26:14
Speaker 4
My mouth was on the floor.

26:15
Speaker 3
Very entertained.

26:16
Speaker 4
Guys. It was 11pm no one was home. And then both my roommates came home right as the ending. I was like.

26:22
Speaker 3
I was like.

26:23
Speaker 4
And they were like, girl, what are you doing?

26:25
Speaker 3
I lowkey. The whole time was like, please let her be an alien. Like, that would just be so.

26:28
Speaker 4
I did like that she didn't get her head shaved for nothing. Like, at least it meant something, and I liked that.

26:33
Speaker 3
True. That's so true. But you know what? Something else we need to say. Emma Stone got a buzz cut, and she did not start acting like Timothee Chalamet. So true.

26:42
Speaker 4
I mean, no one started acting like.

26:44
Speaker 3
Timothy Chalamet after he got a buzz cut.

26:46
Speaker 4
He did start dating Kylie Jenner.

26:48
Speaker 3
Yeah.

26:48
Speaker 4
It just kind of.

26:49
Speaker 3
You know, people are saying it's the buzz cut, but Emma Stone did it.

26:51
Speaker 4
Still is a level, and she rocked it better.

26:54
Speaker 3
True. Who did it better?

26:55
Speaker 4
Who did it better?

26:56
Speaker 3
I think Emma Stone. Emma Stone did do it better, I fear.

26:58
Speaker 1
I. I agree with that one. That.

27:02
Speaker 3
Thank you.

27:04
Speaker 2
Well, I could. I personally could use a break from all this Oscar talk. Speaking of.

27:10
Speaker 3
Olivia and I can keep going. We can keep going.

27:12
Speaker 2
I'm sure you could. If you want to hear more about that, find them on campus.

27:17
Speaker 3
Talk to us. We will talk to you. Read my article. I did like other categories in my. In my Oscars.

27:22
Speaker 2
Prediction. Beautiful Plug.

27:25
Speaker 3
Shameless Plug.

27:25
Speaker 4
Shameless Plug. K Pop Demon Hunters. Two nominations.

27:30
Speaker 2
Do it over break and it's gonna work. Speaking of, what are y' all doing? Spring break is coming up. And thank the Lord, because in this room, we have two engineers and. Well, do you count?

27:43
Speaker 3
You gestured to me, but I am not an engineer.

27:45
Speaker 2
You can't. Dude, you're industrial. For reference, I'm mechanical.

27:50
Speaker 1
But honestly, minoring in material science.

27:54
Speaker 2
It's a real engine.

27:55
Speaker 4
I'm an English major. I belong at this table too.

28:00
Speaker 2
You belong at this couch too. Kelsey.

28:01
Speaker 3
I'm in biology and I.

28:03
Speaker 2
That's pretty rough too.

28:04
Speaker 1
That's a stem field.

28:06
Speaker 2
Yeah, Women in stem.

28:07
Speaker 3
I'm in biomaterial and I hope I graduate. That's all I have to say about that.

28:13
Speaker 4
Hey, C's make degrees.

28:15
Speaker 2
They do.

28:15
Speaker 3
Yeah, girl. We're hoping for that C. We're working hard for it. Yeah.

28:21
Speaker 2
I'm really glad. I'm probably just going to rot the whole break.

28:24
Speaker 3
Honestly, I fully just intend on rotting.

28:27
Speaker 2
I don't have any insane plans. I might decide to go to eat this. Either the mountains or the beach. Just because I have free will and could just do that.

28:34
Speaker 3
Sure.

28:34
Speaker 4
I'm going to the Outer Banks for the first time, though. I think it might be raining all of next.

28:38
Speaker 2
Oh, yeah.

28:39
Speaker 3
It's gonna be cool.

28:39
Speaker 4
So it's gonna be freezing and cold.

28:41
Speaker 3
So, like, that'll be good.

28:42
Speaker 4
I'll be in the Airbnb.

28:43
Speaker 3
We can read inside.

28:44
Speaker 4
But I'm reading inside. Maybe start a new Emily Henry book. We'll see which book. I think I want to do the. What's it? Happy place.

28:52
Speaker 3
Okay.

28:53
Speaker 1
You know, you can read, like, good books.

28:56
Speaker 4
Whoa, whoa. What if. Okay, listen. Right now I'm currently reading SULA by Toni Morrison.

29:02
Speaker 2
Okay.

29:02
Speaker 4
I'm reading a lot of Ursula K. Le Guin.

29:05
Speaker 1
I have Ursula K. Le Guin.

29:07
Speaker 4
Yeah.

29:07
Speaker 1
What are you reading?

29:08
Speaker 4
Well, I read the People who Walk Away from Amelis. Or is that what that one called.

29:12
Speaker 1
The People who Walk Away from Amelis?

29:16
Speaker 4
I think that's. That's her short story. And then I just finished doing A Wizard of Earthsea for my fantasy class. So I'm reading a lot of good material. I need kind of brain rot. Turn my brain stuff.

29:28
Speaker 3
Also, I like Emily Henry.

29:29
Speaker 4
Emily Henry.

29:29
Speaker 3
I'm not saying that she, like, is peak literature.

29:33
Speaker 4
No.

29:33
Speaker 3
But, like, I like to be trees.

29:35
Speaker 1
She's not.

29:35
Speaker 3
And I'll recommend it over and over again.

29:37
Speaker 4
I love book lovers. I also feel like she's better than Colleen Hoover. Don't recalling.

29:42
Speaker 3
Don't read Colleen. Colleen Hoover is, like, genuine.

29:45
Speaker 4
Like.

29:45
Speaker 3
Like there's moral. Like, what am I reading? Like, this is not. But like, if you want to read like a junk food book, that's not, like, gonna make you question, you know, ethics.

29:57
Speaker 4
You can read Emily Henry or, like Anna Huang. She does a lot of the. Yes.

30:02
Speaker 3
Yeah.

30:02
Speaker 4
She's like sports romance, and then she's really well known for her CEO romance. Like the Twisted series and the King of Wrath stuff. Guys, read it. It'll turn CEO of a Romance guys, you would be shocked how many billionaire romances there are in the world.

30:18
Speaker 2
That's a whole trope. Yeah. There's a reason why. It's like, there's why what she said exists.

30:24
Speaker 4
Yeah. Like the girlies want it.

30:26
Speaker 3
Hey.

30:27
Speaker 4
And some of the guys. It's for everyone.

30:30
Speaker 1
I would marry a billion.

30:31
Speaker 4
I'll give you a recommendation after.

30:33
Speaker 2
So would too. I had Sy stay at home Dad.

30:36
Speaker 3
I would gladly get that engineering degree,

30:39
Speaker 2
Honestly, just to sit on it. I don't see the shame in it. If my girl's making. My girl's making six figures.

30:45
Speaker 3
Like, there's no shame. Just six.

30:50
Speaker 4
Okay.

30:51
Speaker 2
Is that not enough for you?

30:53
Speaker 1
I feel like I would want to contribute in that situation.

30:55
Speaker 2
Oh, well, obviously.

30:56
Speaker 3
Yeah.

30:57
Speaker 2
Like, but now I don't have to worry, like, oh, I need to provide,

31:00
Speaker 3
But I feel like contribute by staying at home. Yeah.

31:02
Speaker 4
I feel like being a stay at home dad. Taking care of the kids, cleaning, you know, I think that works.

31:06
Speaker 3
Contributor.

31:07
Speaker 4
Contributing.

31:08
Speaker 2
Being a parental figure is a full time job.

31:10
Speaker 4
So true.

31:11
Speaker 2
Many people say very important. I have two younger siblings and I agree with that heavily. I looked like taking care of my sister, which who I'm have to see her over screen.

31:21
Speaker 3
Okay.

31:23
Speaker 4
Damn.

31:24
Speaker 2
Taking care of her. People thought I was like some single teenage dad. Because like if I'd go to the grocery store or something with her and it'd just be me and her, I would get the nastiest thing.

31:33
Speaker 3
Really?

31:33
Speaker 2
Yes. And I'm like, I hate this double standard. That's because if I was a single teen mom, they'd be like, you know what? Yeah, that guy was. That guy was a deadbeat.

31:41
Speaker 3
And I don't know about all.

31:44
Speaker 2
I definitely have seen more instances where people are like, oh, they still messed up their life. But like, hey, she's trying.

31:50
Speaker 3
I feel like if you're trying to.

31:51
Speaker 1
Get credit in that situation, they're like, oh, he's a single dad. Like, look at him taking care of his children.

31:57
Speaker 4
I feel like.

31:57
Speaker 2
Well, I personally just never got looks like that.

32:01
Speaker 4
Brittany asked, how old is your sister?

32:03
Speaker 1
She.

32:03
Speaker 2
Or when this happened, she was. She's six right now.

32:08
Speaker 3
Okay.

32:08
Speaker 2
And so I would look. So I was like 18ish. While she's like 4.

32:13
Speaker 4
Okay.

32:13
Speaker 3
See?

32:13
Speaker 4
And that makes more sense.

32:15
Speaker 2
Yeah. Like, so I like, I straight up looked like a teenage dad because I looked like I just had a kid.

32:20
Speaker 3
Sure. And I think America just hates teen.

32:23
Speaker 4
Parents and probably in general.

32:25
Speaker 2
Well, you shouldn't have kids when you're a teenager.

32:28
Speaker 3
It's like true.

32:29
Speaker 2
Though.

32:29
Speaker 4
Although I feel like getting married younger, too. So. Like, really? Yeah. I think Gen Z. I think that's.

32:35
Speaker 2
A statistic that's been.

32:36
Speaker 3
We're getting married once.

32:37
Speaker 2
It's either.

32:38
Speaker 4
Not kidding me, but we're like, either way. Either you're getting married really late or you're getting married young. Because I have so many friends who just got engaged, have some friends who are married. We're basically being like, yes to teen parents to a certain degree.

32:51
Speaker 2
Okay, this doesn't have anything to do with spring break.

32:54
Speaker 3
It doesn't.

32:54
Speaker 4
Okay, sorry.

32:56
Speaker 3
Let's talk about camping. Let's talk about the elephant in the room.

32:59
Speaker 2
Oh, because you're going. Go ahead.

33:00
Speaker 3
Brennan. Brennan, what are you doing? Tell us what you're doing over spring break.

33:02
Speaker 1
You just.

33:03
Speaker 3
It's okay, but tell us what you're doing over spring break.

33:06
Speaker 1
You just set up your tent.

33:08
Speaker 3
Brennan's going camping.

33:10
Speaker 2
Okay. We're making fun of. They're making fun of them. No, I. I love camping.

33:15
Speaker 1
Walk through nature fishing. You just sit there and appreciate the world that God made.

33:22
Speaker 4
Yeah, it still stands.

33:24
Speaker 3
Where are we bathing?

33:27
Speaker 1
Depends. Sometimes you camp at, like, a campsite where they have showers.

33:31
Speaker 4
They have showers.

33:32
Speaker 1
Shower, like normal person.

33:34
Speaker 3
And the other.

33:36
Speaker 1
The other alternative, maybe grab some baby.

33:39
Speaker 2
Wipes, wipe yourself down.

33:40
Speaker 3
Oh, see, I don't know about all that.

33:42
Speaker 4
Do you know? I am making fun of and judging, but also, I've never been camping, so.

33:46
Speaker 3
I feel like I need to go.

33:47
Speaker 4
Camping to, like, really, like, you know what?

33:49
Speaker 3
I have been camping. Let me. Let me say something really quick.

33:51
Speaker 1
Tell us about your camp.

33:52
Speaker 4
All right.

33:52
Speaker 3
I did go camping. I went to the summer camp years ago, and they. Their definition of camping, it was like an overnight camp, was for us to get these, like, mattresses, pull them off of our beds. You know, like the dorm mattress that you have that, like, it's blue and it's, like, this thick, and it's, like, basically rubber. It was like that. So we pulled the mattresses off of our bunk beds, took them out into the woods, and just put them on the ground and just, like, had sleeping bags.

34:17
Speaker 1
Okay, well, that's.

34:18
Speaker 3
That's just terrible. It was awful. No tent, just like in the woods, mind you. So my sister was also at this camp at the end of the week. I'm, like, talking to her about her experience. I'm like, oh, did you guys have to sleep outside, too? Whatever? And she was like, oh, well, were outside, but we started to hear wolves howling, so they took us back inside. I slept outside part of the Fun. There were apparently wolves also. Side tangent. I slept and fell on a rock and I got this massive scar because I was supposed to get stitches and I didn't. They were like, you're fine. And I was like, okay. And then I went home at the end of the week and my dad was like, that needed stitches. But it needed stitches, like, a couple days ago.

34:59
Speaker 3
So now it just is gonna, like, heal. And I have this, like, massive score.

35:02
Speaker 2
I have a cool story, though.

35:03
Speaker 3
Yeah, it is cool.

35:03
Speaker 2
Everybody has a cool story.

35:04
Speaker 3
So that I will say, like, I do have trauma associated.

35:07
Speaker 4
I think I, like, don't want to do that kind of camping.

35:10
Speaker 3
Yeah, I wouldn't recommend that.

35:11
Speaker 2
Yeah, that sounded. That's not.

35:13
Speaker 3
It built my character.

35:14
Speaker 2
That sounds horrible.

35:14
Speaker 3
I'm probably, like, funnier because of it,

35:16
Speaker 4
But maybe character building.

35:19
Speaker 3
Yeah.

35:19
Speaker 2
The camping I did recently, it was like, in the mountains. I forgot what the area was, but literally, like, it was right next to a waterfall and, like, river area. And did you bathe? No, we stayed there for one night, so it was fine.

35:34
Speaker 4
I could do one or toe in the. To the waterfall or.

35:36
Speaker 2
No, no. We had to walk, like, a mile from our car in the mountain terrain. So were carrying, like, each, like, 45 pounds, like, a mile into this place because we had, like, coolers, chairs, the tents, sleeping bags and stuff. But it was really cool waking up, coming out of the tent, and then just beautiful. It was also during fall break, so the leaves were turning orangish and reddish. So it was actually wonderful. That kind of camping is dope when you do it right.

36:01
Speaker 4
It sounds so lovely. I just like it scared of, like, dirt getting on my feet.

36:06
Speaker 2
You can wear shoes.

36:09
Speaker 1
There's no situation where the dirt has to get on your feet.

36:13
Speaker 3
I don't know. I just have an irrational fear of that. So. Of dirt on your feet? Yeah. Okay.

36:21
Speaker 4
If there's dirt, there's probably, like, bugs, and if there's bugs, there's probably, like, germs. And I'm a little bit of a germaphobe. And so the idea that, like, I don't know, and I'd have to use baby wipes or, like, some, like, random shower. I guess I'd like the, like, option the most.

36:35
Speaker 3
I honestly would rather bathe in the river than a random shower.

36:39
Speaker 4
But I think it would need to be, like, an actual river because, like, what if it's just, like, a creek? That's kind of crazy.

36:43
Speaker 3
No, just, like, bathing in stagnant water is crazy. That's actually crazy.

36:47
Speaker 4
But, like, I need to do it. Wait, can we do like a tech tries camping?

36:51
Speaker 3
No, because I won't be there.

36:53
Speaker 4
I would like through the fear. Yeah.

36:56
Speaker 3
You guys and I would go sports can go. And Jacob.

37:02
Speaker 2
Actually. No, Jake would probably want to go.

37:03
Speaker 4
Yeah, he. Yeah.

37:05
Speaker 3
You think? I don't know. Actually.

37:06
Speaker 4
I think it depends on the day.

37:08
Speaker 3
Yeah.

37:08
Speaker 2
If you go when it's like too extreme of weather, then it's not fun.

37:12
Speaker 4
Yeah. But like imagine like it raining. No.

37:15
Speaker 2
Rain does suck.

37:16
Speaker 1
I think 50% of the time I've gone camping it was raining. It was.

37:20
Speaker 3
And you want to go back.

37:21
Speaker 4
It wasn't. Was it like nice rain or like, were you crying with the rain?

37:26
Speaker 1
More nice rain. If it was less nice rain, maybe.

37:29
Speaker 4
Okay.

37:30
Speaker 3
But you would pick camping over like staying in like a hotel at the beach?

37:35
Speaker 1
No, they're just different experience.

37:37
Speaker 3
Okay, so you agree that camping is.

37:39
Speaker 1
Worse and then you can go to the beach.

37:42
Speaker 4
I mean, we do have a week of spring break. Like you could do both if you really wanted to.

37:45
Speaker 3
My.

37:45
Speaker 4
Okay.

37:46
Speaker 3
I need to know, like, ideal vacation though.

37:49
Speaker 2
Ideal.

37:49
Speaker 3
Yeah.

37:51
Speaker 2
I really want to go back to Mexico.

37:53
Speaker 3
Okay.

37:53
Speaker 2
I went over winter break, but not to like my home state.

37:56
Speaker 3
Yeah.

37:56
Speaker 4
Yeah.

37:56
Speaker 2
It was like for a wedding. But where my family lives, it's like they live in like the central part of a city. But then like you drive a little bit and it's like very mountainous area and there's a big part of it where it's sort of like a shopping like, outdoor mall, but it's like on the sides of mountains and stuff and it looks really dope.

38:15
Speaker 4
That's so sweet.

38:16
Speaker 2
I want to get back to that.

38:17
Speaker 3
Love it.

38:18
Speaker 1
That's cool.

38:21
Speaker 3
Yeah.

38:22
Speaker 2
Top that.

38:23
Speaker 4
I can't, but Disney World.

38:25
Speaker 3
Oh.

38:28
Speaker 4
Guys, I'm a Disney adult, but I'm a cool Disney adult, I swear. And by saying that, it probably means I'm not a cool Disney adult.

38:36
Speaker 3
Olivia is a cool Disney adult and I am one to hate on a Disney adult. But you are a cool Disney adult because I didn't even know you were a Disney adult until like a couple days ago. And I've known you for almost a year now.

38:46
Speaker 1
The cool Disney adult is one who.

38:48
Speaker 2
It's a low key.

38:49
Speaker 4
It's a low key. I just like, I just like really want to go back. Guys, I went to Disney in Paris when I was studying abroad. Like in. That's summer of 2000. Yeah, 2024 or something. Which. Guys, why am I still on my study abroad when it was like 2024, but it was so Fun. And I want to go back. Yeah. So Disney. It's too expensive, though.

39:06
Speaker 2
You're cool.

39:07
Speaker 4
I can't pay for that.

39:08
Speaker 3
It's not like you're wearing ears to work or something. Okay.

39:10
Speaker 4
Like, it could be worse.

39:11
Speaker 2
It could be worse is your ideal.

39:13
Speaker 3
Yeah, go ahead.

39:15
Speaker 1
No. Although, you know, you could throw some camping in, but I think that the Pacific Northwest of North America in the summertime is just. It's incomparable. It's so beautiful. But then the weather is, like, 60 or 70 degrees and it's not raining. Instead of it being rainy and cold and miserable.

39:37
Speaker 3
Sure.

39:38
Speaker 1
People are like, oh, the East Coast. It's so cool. Have you seen those? They're not. They haven't been to the Pacific Northwest. This is why you're August.

39:47
Speaker 4
What's your favorite part like, besides just that it's always.

39:49
Speaker 1
Doesn't matter.

39:49
Speaker 4
It doesn't matter.

39:50
Speaker 1
Anything about it is cool.

39:53
Speaker 4
Yeah.

39:53
Speaker 2
What about you?

39:56
Speaker 3
I went to Annecy, France. Like, thank God you said France.

40:01
Speaker 2
I was like, I don't know where that.

40:03
Speaker 3
It's in France. It's in France.

40:05
Speaker 1
Okay.

40:06
Speaker 3
And the best part about it, honestly, it wouldn't even have to specifically be Annecy, but it has. Everything is so walkable. That is my ideal vacation. I just want to go somewhere and stay somewhere nice with a nice view where I can walk to different things. I don't want to have to worry about, like, getting an Uber or like, whatever. Same thing, honestly, with, like, New York City or something like that, it's just a little bit busier where I feel like. I don't know if I could, like, fully relax, but, like, Annecy was, like, the perfect amount of, like, people. Like, it's busy, but it's not New York City where people are, like, pushing each other and, like, rushing across the road and stuff like that in front of traffic.

40:41
Speaker 1
How do you spell that?

40:45
Speaker 3
I'm not gonna try to spell it off the cuff, but I actually do think I could probably. Don't look while I'm trying to type this into my.

40:51
Speaker 2
I'm glad we're talking about all this traveling. And it's just gonna cut to me, like, Monday morning, rotting in bed the rest of the week. Like, I am not probably doing anything.

41:06
Speaker 4
No.

41:06
Speaker 3
Yeah, I did think there was an S in it. That's my bad.

41:08
Speaker 4
Yeah. We are talking bid talk about going abroad, doing all these fun things. But, yeah, I will definitely just speed.

41:12
Speaker 2
Like, no money, no energy to be doing this.

41:15
Speaker 3
I can't go. Yeah. No. I'm, like, poor, but I would go back, bro, if given the opportunity literally.

41:20
Speaker 4
Study abroad, guys.

41:22
Speaker 3
Study abroad. Okay.

41:25
Speaker 2
I think that was a pretty. I hope everybody breaks. I actually use it as a restful break. Many people like to continue working but that's not what the point of it is because then you're just gonna come out burnt out as ever. That's what I'm gonna be doing. Absolutely nothing. So thank you guys so much for listening slash watching. If you're on YouTube, come back in two weeks. We will have probably our regular host back talk a little bit more about. ACC tournament. We don't know we won the first round so hopefully. Or second round right? Yeah, second round. Second round we go against Virginia so hopefully in a few hours in the future. Oh yeah.

42:05
Speaker 1
Hopefully when podcast airs will have already lost by.

42:12
Speaker 4
Optimistic.

42:13
Speaker 3
Okay.

42:14
Speaker 2
We'll have good stuff to talk about next time anyways but thank you so much for watching. Goodbye. Enjoy Break.
