Nani, The Sweetest Girl (Hour 2)

Good morning, Wisconsin.

Morning, world.

It's a new day.

Thanks for kicking it off with us right here at WFHR.

Sing it, Marvin.

Have your host, James J. Maylove here.

Thanks so much for joining us, everybody.

Join by Elora.

Hello.

And we are joined right now in this 9 o'clock hour of the way

that we like to kick things off with our good friend Diane,

our friends from the South部 County Main Society

and our pet of the week.

Good morning.

How you doing?

Good morning.

I'm great. How are you?

I'm doing good.

Thanks so much for being here today.

I really do appreciate you.

It's been really fun working with you in the short time.

We've gotten to get to know you and everything.

And you just made our day.

She brought a dog.

She brought a dog.

I'm glad to hear that.

Thanks for having us.

And who do we have with us?

This is Nani.

She is a female spade three years old.

She's, they say,

uh,

how do you mix?

How do you mix?

Yeah, she's, um,

very finely dog.

She's very sweet.

Yeah.

To me, she looks a little maybe pointer-ish.

Yeah, she does.

Like a pointer-hound situation.

She's so sweet.

Like a hunter?

She, um, she's very sweet.

And I got to say this doesn't happen all that often.

But the picture does her complete justice.

Uh, she, the picture that you see at the website

for the South部 County Main Society

and it is SWCHS.com.

Uh, it, it is, it looks perfect.

And it shows her perfectly.

It's a great picture for one of her.

Thank you.

Yeah, those are rare.

Oh, it's a great picture.

Yeah, it's a great one.

And, uh, she's beautiful.

She's, uh, three years old, is it?

Yeah, three years old, very friendly.

The only problem with, um,

Nani is that she needs to be the only dog in the house.

She came from a very unfortunate family situation.

So she's, she's got to be alone.

So if somebody wants a companion,

she's perfect for that.

And she's medium-sized, not too big, not too small.

Right, no, she's, she's really not a big dog.

She's not small.

She's what?

40 pounds?

I think 35, yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

And she seems like she would be good

whether it is just somebody out there on their own

or somebody out with a family or any of the above.

Like she would fit any of the above.

Oh, yeah, she would be great with kids.

Yeah, she's gentle and loving and she just,

she needs a home.

She needs love, right?

She, she gives love and wants love.

Because that dog is just incredibly sweet.

And ma'am, did she like Pam?

Yeah, she did.

You can tell she's got, she's got a good taste.

And she, she's a very good being judge of people

because she loves Pam right away.

She loves Pam.

That's, that's a good stuff.

That is.

Diane, I could talk all day about Nani,

but I did want to catch up with you about the,

how things are going over it.

Shop, how are things at the main society?

And I could take her for a minute if you want.

Yeah, you can let her go now.

Sure, she'll be all right.

Things are going really good at the shelter.

Construction, proceeding.

They are framing in our new front lobby area

as we speak.

They took our big dog down.

It was kind of sad yesterday, but the dogs in storage

and we'll go back up whenever we want to.

It is going to be back.

Oh, yeah, we couldn't do that.

That was so cool.

It's a focal point.

And it is.

We had to put it in storage because we didn't want

someone to come and say, oh, I got it.

You know, like the big,

Mark's big boy and all those great statues.

No, things are proceeding.

Everybody's excited.

They're finished insulating the back.

And the new dog kennels are in.

So it should be any time now that we're moving around

and re-open in our front entrance.

Yes, exciting.

When it comes to things that we could really help out with right now,

are there anything in particular?

We certainly know cat food and litter.

Those things are always needed.

But is there anything in particular we can help out with that?

Right now we need dog blankets.

Anything but quilts they will take for dog blankets for getting low

because it's really cold out and the dogs are going through them quicker.

But any kind of blanket you have that you don't need,

sap on down, or let us know, we'll come pick them up.

Excellent, excellent.

You know, you guys are doing a great job.

I'm going to go.

I'm going to go.

You guys got this right?

Sure.

Yeah.

Seth will be back, right?

Okay.

We need to James.

I should probably stay.

I should probably stay.

But I really want to go.

This dog is calling me.

She is so sweet.

She is.

And I know that this is an audio medium and everything.

But I cannot stress you enough.

The kindness and sweetness that is just coming from this dog.

It is a very sweet dog.

She is not hyper.

She is not jumping all over.

No, she is not.

She jumps a little bit to get that first kiss in.

But, you know, she is so well behaved and she is so sweet.

Thank you for saying that.

I was trying to think of the way we will put this.

But yes, well behaved.

She really does have a behavior to her.

You don't always get that from bigger dogs.

No.

But she definitely has that to her.

And, well, if Nani doesn't sound like your perfect fit or anything,

there are every type of dog and cat and animal that you can think of at our Humane Society.

And we really could use good adoptions out there.

We really could use some of these animals to get some good homes.

Nani is beautiful.

But Nani has been there long enough.

And there is plenty of other animals that have been there long enough.

Yes, sir.

That is correct.

And one of the things you could take comfort in is knowing that when you go to the Humane Society

and you find these animals,

you are going to find the right fit for you.

Because the Humane Society is going to make sure of it.

Absolutely.

We have all kinds of people meeting with families, potential adopters to make sure that

we understand your needs and that this dog or cat will match what your family needs.

Well, and you are invested in it.

You want the dog to succeed.

Right.

You want the family to succeed.

So you are going to put in that effort.

Right.

We don't want them coming back.

We want them to go and stay.

Exactly.

Become a permanent member of the family.

I have done for the day.

I have checked out.

I am not going to be good used to anybody, but not.

Not easy.

Only person will be any good for the rest of them.

Not even a person.

No, no.

We appreciate you, Diane.

Thank you so much for joining us.

We want to encourage people to reach out to you and your team.

And certainly, which and you guys are happy new year too.

Thank you.

I meant to say that right away.

I got distracted.

I'm sorry.

Thank you.

Thank you so much for highlighting the nonprofits in this great community.

We appreciate it very much.

Thank you.

It's part of the gig.

It's part of the teamwork that we have here with you guys.

And with all of our nonprofits in this area.

And we'll tell people that they can find out more about Nani and all the great animals over there.

And we're looking forward to the next Thursday and talking with you again.

Morning show at WFHR.

Got your host James here.

I'm doing by Laura and Seth.

I want to send a big shout out to Diane and Nani,

our friends from the South O'Connie main society in our pet of the week.

Be listening next Thursday for another one.

Good to be fun.

Yeah.

We kick off this segment with some entertainment news.

And a couple of interesting things going on in the entertainment world.

But one of the bigger ones that has come out over the holiday weekend

is James Gunn, one of the co-head of DC now.

Put out there that kind of one of the worst kept secrets in the Superhero Universe and the DC Universe.

Jason Momoa is going to be starring in Supergirl,

the new Supergirl movie that's coming out as Lobo.

Oh dear.

Oh wow.

Momoa has been linked to Lobo, the role,

actually even long before he was cast as Aquaman.

Right.

Oh, I didn't know that.

It's been tied to a lot of comic book characters.

Yeah.

This one in particular is one that he's,

it's very similar to Ryan Reynolds and Deadpool,

where for those that don't know,

Ryan Reynolds was pitching the Deadpool movie

and our rated Deadpool movie back in like 2012, 2011,

like even before.

And it's part of the reason that he got cast

the original time as Deadpool in the X-Men movie

where there was...

The Wolverines Origins, yeah.

Yes, that movie.

That horror of what?

It was rough.

It was rough.

It could have been so good.

Yeah, it could have been.

The murk with the mouth,

and you get rid of his mouth?

What are you doing?

Yeah, we're lettering.

We're lettering.

We're lettering.

It was a choice.

But going that far back,

Jason Momoa, who is a comic book fan?

Yes.

And it has been a fan of Lobo for a long time.

And this one.

One of the interesting things that came up of this though

is that Jason Momoa didn't realize he was cast as Aquaman

like until like almost the day of the read-through.

He thought he was playing a different character.

And it wasn't until he gets the script

and he sees his lines are all in yellow.

And it's Aquaman.

He's like, wait a minute.

I'm Aquaman.

I'm like the lead.

He just didn't believe that they would cast somebody

that looked like him as Aquaman.

Because in the comic book, he was always a blonde dude.

Yeah, exactly.

And it's kind of interesting.

And it's also kind of like,

now I don't know that they did what they wanted to

with that role and kind of kind of reshape Aquaman

going forward.

If you watch any of the DC cartoons or anything,

they still, Aquaman still looks the same and then stuff.

But I give credit where it is due to casting him in it.

They tried.

Seeing a star when you see one.

Yeah, exactly.

Exactly.

He's gone on to prove that he is not only a bona fide movie star

but a great actor.

I think he's a way above average actor.

I'm not saying his Oscar caliber or anything like that.

But he's a very good actor.

A good action star.

Yeah, he's perfect for it.

Watch the TV show C.

And he plays a blind man and a blind warrior in it.

Wow.

And I ask anybody who's ever thrown a punch

or ever done boxing or sporting like any type of fighting MMA,

any of this stuff.

Okay.

And do it blind.

That's a whole different ball game.

And the guy is able to do these things.

And it's kind of noteworthy that this is happening in part also

because what James Gunn is doing with DC,

they're playing with house money in many ways.

This is to the sports equivalent of a team rebuilding.

And so what they bring in is awesome.

What they don't, we didn't expect to bring much in.

Which is wild to me.

The expectations are so low right now.

That's my issue is the expectation

because people have kind of been burned out on comic book movies.

Haven't they?

Oh, yeah.

In a lot of ways.

It's true.

I'm shocked that they're trying another new one.

Like, no disrespect to Jason Momoa.

I think he's going to do great.

And I get that he loves the character because it's a solid character.

There's nothing wrong with him.

You know, being passionate about Lobo and wanting to be a God.

There couldn't be better casting than ever Lobo.

Right.

Like, I stand behind that for sure,

but I'm not as optimistic as I would like to be.

Yeah, so it'll be interesting to see what they do with it.

They are, they are not going to stop.

No, they're not going to stop.

You're 100% right, Laura, the people,

and the box office numbers have shown this.

Right.

But because of the IP that you have with this,

and how much money they spent on these things,

it's a little bit like, you buy a Rolls Royce,

and you're like, where am I going to drive this thing?

Like, I live in the middle of Wisconsin.

It's winter, I'm not going to,

but you just spent all that money on that Rolls Royce.

You're going to drive it to the county market.

You're taking it to the gas station.

You're taking it to the pig.

Yeah.

You're taking it to pig the wiggly.

You're going to drive that thing

because you spent a lot of money on that thing.

That is where they are at these companies with these IPs.

They spent a lot of money on this stuff.

Right.

Disney's doing the same thing with the SPAN right now.

They spent a lot of money on that thing,

and they don't want it everybody.

If we all want to get together and put in some money,

it was a bad idea.

They'll sell it to us.

They're looking to sell it to anybody.

It was a sage listening.

It was not wise.

But they are still looking,

but they are going to keep pushing it and promoting it

and putting investing a bit into it

because they already spent all this time and effort on it.

Right.

Right.

Interesting story here,

and I know this is a loose entertainment story,

but I do think it is noteworthy.

Several celebrity homes have been already been destroyed

by wildfires.

Yeah.

Now, I'm not noting these because they're celebrities.

I'm using their celebrity to talk about the situation.

Right.

Which is something I didn't...

That's not me.

That's living out in California and talking to it,

and working in the industry,

and seeing how everybody in the industry tries to do this.

Yeah.

You care about Adrian Brody or somebody like that.

They're house going down.

You know, he's got neighbors.

Right.

He's got other people in there that aren't famous.

They're dealing with this.

There are people all over California right now

that are losing their houses.

Exactly.

Not just celebrities or wealthy people.

It is everybody,

and it is horrific.

I felt like growing up in Chicago,

I've seen and dealt with just about every darn thing,

and I can handle just about anything.

And one day I'm kind of homeless,

and I'm hanging out on the beach and everything,

waiting until my shift starts,

and I see just checking out the coastline,

which is just incredibly beautiful,

just thinking about it.

And then out of the side of the mountain,

I see just smoke.

Just smoke.

Wow.

And then on the side,

it trickles down,

and there's more and more.

And I can't even think of how to describe it.

It's like smoke coming out of the side of a mountain,

and then realize,

oh, that's what a wildfire is.

It's on fire, literally.

It's on fire.

I've never seen anything like this.

And to my surprise,

they just kind of,

they don't like,

it's not, I'm not saying they just take this like,

oh, big deal.

But it's so normalized in our out there,

and in our world.

Right.

Well, and it shouldn't be,

because at the end of, I guess, the day,

it's still climate change, guys.

Like, the fires are,

they would not, sure,

they might still have a fire,

but it's not going to be as severe

if it weren't for the eight months of drought prior to these fires.

It's exactly.

If it wasn't for the, you know,

extensive use of water

by people who don't need to be using it in California,

the way that they are using it.

And like,

man,

it's unconscionable

that we're not discussing climate change

at the government level right now.

They're too busy squabbling about other things.

It just makes me grumpy.

We're just going to get rid of climate,

and then we're not going to worry about it.

Oh, great.

Wait a minute, no, that doesn't work.

Let's just ring up.

Oh, no.

I'm going to ring up the climate guy

and end our contract.

I think I need to check my,

I need to check my size of that.

Is there a climate guy?

I'd like to get with the truck.

Mark Ham,

Mark Hamill, Mandy Moore,

Jamie Lee Curtis,

Ricky Lake, Eugene Levy,

John Goodman-Miles,

Taylor Kerry,

Elways, Anthony Hopkins,

Billy Crystal,

all had their homes destroyed,

if not completely,

broken down,

if not completely destroyed.

Right, right.

Wow.

And that's, I'm not even giving you

half the list.

Right, exactly.

And those are just the celebrities.

Yeah.

Yeah, exactly, exactly.

There are going to be a lot of opportunities to donate,

a lot of opportunities to be able to help,

encourage you to look into that and reach out to those

that you can,

and do what you can when it comes to that.

And call your senators and congressmen

and talk to them about climate change.

Thank you.

One of the things,

one of the bigger job opportunities that I am looking forward to

is getting on the new Hollywood squares,

that premieres tonight.

All right.

So I'm looking at that corner right square,

the corner left square.

I love it.

I think one of those I can end up in.

Nice.

Drew Barrymore is one of the stars.

It'll be in the,

she is a center square.

And Nate Burleson is going to be hosting.

No.

Cool.

I love that show.

I love that show.

I thought it was a fun show.

I also was a fan of like a lot of the obscure comics,

like Rip Taylor and like some of these people

that you've never heard from until.

Bruce Valange.

Bruce Valange.

Bruce Valange.

The only time you ever saw that was on Hollywood square.

Yeah.

Yeah.

I don't know.

I thought it was a fun show back in the day.

For all the game shows they're bringing back,

I think that's the one that I,

I'm not, I'll be honest.

I'm probably not going to watch it.

But I'm excited for it.

Yeah.

Excited for the opportunity for younger generations

to kind of get into it.

It's one of,

it's one of those shows that always comes back.

Does.

It's a great concept.

The idea is such a great idea.

You just got to get the right people in on it.

Yeah.

To be fair we just,

we just need more game shows back on.

I miss game show TV.

Like why don't we have more new game shows

other than like the game show network?

Right.

Well, it's,

and it's funny because they're so cheap,

you know, in terms of how much they have to spend

and put them on.

So.

Yeah.

They're giving artists who don't have a whole lot of exposure

or a little bit of exposure.

Yeah.

Every, every little bit counts.

That's.

We need more Tom Bergeron.

That's what we need.

Where's Tom?

The beginning of the new year usually is where

a lot of streaming services will kick out their new programming

because they're trying to get ahead of the cable programming

that is going to be coming up if it isn't already started.

So a couple of serious premieres on HBO Max,

the pit,

no, Wiley stars in a medical drama covering just one shift

at a Pittsburgh ER.

Wait, wait, wait, wait, is that him?

Yeah.

On that?

Yeah.

Wow.

He looks different.

Yeah.

His whole face really changes your face up quite a bit.

Wow.

I didn't know what he looked like before,

but that sure is a man with a beard.

He is.

I thought it was G.C. Kelsey for real.

That is what it looks like.

A lot of people are excited about this one.

I don't know if it's going to be good or not.

I have to admit, I will probably check it out.

The limited series, American Prime Evil and Netflix.

It's a starring Taylor Kitch as a tracker

who reluctantly agrees to help guide Betty Glippin

and her son through the mountains of the 1980s,

9, 1800s Old West.

Oh.

Part of what is getting a lot of a claim for this

is it's supposed to be a true telling of that time

where there is no holds bar.

They are just all in.

It's in.

It looks pretty, just the trailer.

It's going to be violent.

It looks incredibly violent.

Like they went like almost quentin Tarantino level

violent with this one.

Yeah.

Which it might be accurate.

I don't know.

It's going to be dire.

It would be if they do it.

I don't know if that's just a trailer or if.

Right.

I have to wait and see.

But what I'm very excited to talk about really

is the cool coloring.

Cool colors.

The Adult Coloring Club going on at Macmillan Library tonight

or this actually just in about half an hour here.

Oh, okay, it's morning.

Yeah.

10 to 11 over at their training room

in their by-narts room.

Yeah.

Color one for me, guys.

Get on over to Macmillan and check that out.

Everybody go to MacmillanLibrary.org and check that out.

I'm sorry, check that out at MacmillanLibrary.com.

That's great stuff over there, man.

You really do.

I love the library.

Good programming.

Every library all the time.

I love it.

Yeah, good stuff.

In a little bit, we're going to get into more of this.

But I want to get into movies that cure your childhood nostalgia.

Sure.

So a little bit later we'll get into the other one.

Okay.

We'll completely use the superpower what you have.

Okay.

That'll be after our news break.

For now, let's talk about nostalgic movies.

Entertainment Weekly put together a list of 25 movies

that are great for when you're feeling nostalgic for childhood.

And millennials really like it since the majority of them are from the 90s.

That's true.

It makes sense.

It includes some Disney ones like a goofy movie from 95, a Latin from 92,

a Beauty and the Beast from 91, and Lion King from 94,

and a little bit older, who frame Roger Rabbit from 88?

Yes.

Ooh, yeah.

Other highlights include Airbud, Space Jam, The Iron Giant,

Goonies in Stand By Me.

Yeah, those are more early 80s.

Yeah.

But these are movies that if you are looking to feel nostalgic

or you happen to already be in that mood and you're looking to keep...

Sure.

Yeah.

Okay, so as the, I guess, resident millennial.

You are?

Yes.

I know that I was a weird kid.

And like I get that about myself.

Because maybe a goofy movie, but the rest of those definitely wouldn't

have scratched my nostalgia itch.

Movies that would have scratched that itch first, Beetlejuice.

Okay.

Very good.

And I know this one is an older one, but of course the Princess Bride.

Nice.

Yeah.

But also like music does that for me.

Yeah, yeah.

Like I will spontaneously listen to the entire what Tyrannosaurus Hives album,

just for the sake of nostalgia, right?

I bought an AFI record for nostalgia purposes.

Wow.

Two deep cuts.

Nice.

I love it.

I love it.

I think when it comes to movies, I think you don't have to think too hard on this one,

you know what movies you saw growing up and everything.

But really just, you don't even have to watch the movie.

Just thinking about that.

That's true.

Thinking about plans or anything are going to hit those dopamine's or things in your brain.

That are looking to catch on to this.

I think for James and I, it's more of like Star Wars.

Because we're a little bit older.

I almost mentioned Star Wars, but for millennials, the movies that came out that were Star Wars at that time were not...

Yeah, the prequels, right?

We'll go as exciting or memorable to the point that we want them to be memorable.

I really think that what you said there Seth, I just want to hint on,

because when it comes to Star Wars in general, I don't know how much of a fan I truly am of Star Wars

and how much I just, the kid and me still is.

That's a great point.

I don't know.

It's hard to know.

I've talked about this with Briya about Muppets.

My favorite, your favorite Muppet when you're a kid.

And then as you get older and stuff when you're a teenager and then as an adult does that change.

Right.

And I think it's similar with a lot of these things.

Your favorite band.

Maybe your favorite song when you were younger in high school, it was this one.

But as an adult, it's this one.

Yeah, it tastes change and how you do it.

And it's interesting to see how nostalgia works with certain things.

So yeah, I was a fan of, they might be giants, my favorite band.

And you know, when I was a start of older teenager is when I really got into them.

But when I listen to their music, since I follow them ever since,

I don't think necessarily nostalgia, even the early stuff that I listened at the time,

because I've stuck with them.

And so every age I go, I find new stuff and they release stuff.

And that kind of stuff.

I have the same experience with co-heat and camera.

I listened to them for the first time when I was 17

and have followed them ever since I have tattoo on my person.

There's nothing nostalgic about listening to co-heat and camera yet to me.

It's just part of my identity.

Even though you listen to them growing up, right?

Yeah.

And then there's the other side of this, too, where when I think of nostalgic movies,

I'm honestly, I'm thinking like a fistful of dollars.

And it depends on what you watch.

It depends on what you watch, right?

And the ugly, I almost dig any westerns I watch with my dad.

So the shiny.

Yes, the shiny ones.

Well, and to be fair to everyone, I immediately the first movie I thought of,

was Monty Python in the search for the Holy Grail.

Yeah.

Because my family and I would watch that.

See, and that's part of it, too.

And all of us were part of the home video explosion, right?

Oof.

So we could watch for any time.

And it didn't matter.

And if your family liked a certain one, you watched over and over again.

Yeah.

You're going to get a lot of nostalgia for that.

No matter when it was made.

Mm-hmm.

And I will say, too, that even finding Nemo, that was not me, my kids.

Got into that.

Yeah.

That movie pops up or that movie gets referenced.

And I'm nostalgic for my kids.

When there were certain age, right?

Yeah.

Yeah.

So nostalgia is a unique thing.

It's a very interesting thing.

Yeah.

Because of just the way it hits on our brains and stuff.

And the idea that we, especially, you know, we all understand time and moves forward.

Most people are interested in the new thing.

When you're young, you want to be older.

All this stuff.

But nobody can really explain why we get nostalgic.

Why we like nostalgia?

And you're just plenty of psychologists to tell you, well, it brings you back to this

or what have you and all that.

Eh, no.

Why do I really like these things?

Why do I love nostalgia?

What is it about me that wants to go back to the past?

And again, there's plenty of psychiatry reasons for that and everything.

But I've never gotten a good answer on this.

I've never really seen it.

The big, we don't know, kind of thing.

It really is.

It's one of those mysteries.

It's some ideas.

And I think, yes, some ideas.

But I don't think we have a complete, like, this is the answer kind of thing.

I don't think so.

No, and honestly, I don't know that I ever really want to understand the part of me that

still wants to try purple ketchup from the 90s.

Got it.

Maybe.

Let's take a call as we go to break.

Good morning.

You're out the show.

Hey, you're talking about movies that make you think.

You remember the movie The Wizard with Fred Savage?

Yes.

Yes.

Yes.

Yes.

That's my contribution for today.

Thank you.

Drawing contribution.

I will hounder that with Mack and me.

Oh, no.

Oh, good.

Yes.

I think we're, get out of here with that.

I'm glad it came up.

Where ET is on one level for the, for the puppeteering and the work that they did of

that, then there's the horrible version of it with Mack and me.

Okay.

I will give you one thing, Mack and me, at least it's better than Munchy.

I will give you that one.

I will give you that one.

And we need to end this.

We need to end this.

Yeah.

We're going to our news break.

We'll be back with more show.

Marting show at WFHR.

Reluctantly crouched at the starting line.

Engines pumping and thumping in time.

The green light flashes.

The flags go up.

Churning and burning.

They yearn for the cup.

They definitely maneuver.

Welcome back, everybody.

Marting show at WFHR.

Locally grown radio.

He gives me no chance to jump in.

No, he doesn't.

He just keeps going.

He doesn't even take a breath.

And he keeps going back.

We are here, Laura, and Seth and James.

And we're here to have some fun.

We got good stuff coming up for you, everybody.

And I want audience participation on this next one.

Get ready to call 715-424-2600.

Just a touch or two away on the Civic Needy app.

What completely use the superpower?

Would you have if you could have a granted to you?

Usually when people talk about superpowers,

they wish to be able to fly or see through, you know, window and wall.

Expected.

Expected, right?

Yeah.

Wow.

Hey, it is a useless superpower.

I got it.

Someone on social media asked people what completely useless superpower,

though, they'd like to have.

We kind of went the other way.

Many of the things people brought up were a little,

like at least a little useful.

And there's not in any particular order.

And I'm going to go through the PG once.

I'll be honest with you.

Yeah, like these safe ones here.

But I'll give you a couple.

And then as we get going here, maybe get the ball rolling.

All right.

All right.

You guys and the listeners will think of some to be able to cut my hands

and make the little tiny thunder and lightning storms that only I could see.

That would be use for light.

Entertainment.

Entertainment.

Yeah, a little bit.

A little bit.

Not great light, but yeah.

Oh, that would work for starting fires.

Yeah.

The ability to tie both shoes to precisely the same degree of tightness.

Wow.

No, I like that one.

I appreciate that one.

That's pretty useless though.

But, okay.

Can we add on to that that the bow would be perfect?

Oh, see.

It only if I can, well, and I'd like to add on to it as well.

Like I tie both one and the both tie.

Oh.

The other one ties with the other one.

Yeah.

Yeah.

So now that'd be useful though.

Again.

Yeah, we're dead.

It's hard.

This is hard, man.

The power to know exactly where any fly in the room is headed next.

No, I like that one.

That one's useful as heck.

Then you know where you can swat it.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Being able to transform your socks into any color in the blink of an eye.

Oh, I like that.

No, that would be great.

Oh, that's good.

I would have to care about my sock color first.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

So it would be useless to you.

For Laura, specifically useless.

To me specifically.

We found it.

And if I had it, I would just change one sock.

No.

Shape shifting, but only when you're alone.

Yes.

No, I want that so hard.

You don't even know.

That's funny.

Oh, you got it.

Just to try it.

Oh, that's a fun.

I'm going to try on my octopus pants.

Or even better.

Not even shaped to be turning invisible, but only when you're alone.

Only when you're alone.

Oh, that'd be great.

That would be completely useless.

I feel like all of this is what would happen to me.

Nick Fury comes to me as like James.

You've been chosen for the Avengers because of your superpower.

But you can only do it when nobody else is looking or watching.

Was it turning invisible by myself, standing in front of the mirror?

Like, yeah, I still got it.

You are a lower than Hawkeye on the Avengers list.

But we'll call again.

We'll call again.

You're a lower than plant man.

Oh, okay.

I was actually a villain though.

I want to be plant gal.

Not poison ivy.

Plant gal.

There you go.

This one's a little interesting.

So you got to hear me out on it.

Teleportation.

But it takes the same time to go to any place by foot.

So you go to another dimension and get stuck there for the time it takes you to go to your destination.

You're just in cue.

Funny.

That was a good one.

I like that.

Yeah.

Just in stasis.

It's like you're walking in molasses.

I feel like this is one of those ones where it sounds good.

I don't know if it is or not.

The ability to remember every single dream you've ever had.

Ooh.

No.

That sounds awful.

No, I don't want to do that one.

No.

No.

Because as it is my most memorable dreams are the bad ones.

The crazy weird, yeah, insane scary ones.

Unsettling.

There you go.

There you go.

There you go.

I do.

And as a quick note for those that don't know, you actually have thousands of dreams a night.

Uh huh.

Like you have thousands when you wake up and you're trying to remember that last dream.

That happened probably 20 minutes.

That's true.

That's one of them and you don't want to remember the rest.

You don't want that.

Yeah.

No.

Sorry.

Being completely impervious to lava.

Yes.
