Ah, Cripes all Friday. Hey everybody, how you doing? I'm Charlie Barons and this is the first episode of the Cripescast.

Cripescast is a podcast where I talk to people for and or from the Midwest.

So that's a nice way of leaving it open enough

to really talk to anybody I want to.

And actually I'm very excited about the first guest I got for the Krebs cast, you'll actually see in our conversation.

We came up with the name in the podcast, but it's Phil Johnston,

the pride of Nina Wisconsin ladies and gentlemen.

That's right, Phil is from Nina.

He, the original Twin Cities, by the way,

we talk about that a little bit,

but Phil is a screenwriter. may know him he wrote and directed

Ralph breaks the internet he also wrote racket Ralph Zutopia and Cedar Rapids now Cedar Rapids has a special place in my heart because it was one of my first times on the big screen.

That's right.

I was the out-of-focused pool boy.

So now I know what you're asking.

Charlie, was this your first big role?

And actually, no, I was also an out-of-focus reporter

in public enemies.

So, you know, I don't want break, but I'm kind of a big deal.

But anyway, this isn't about me, this is about Phil.

Phil is, you know, one of the biggest writers out there.

Recut Ralph obviously a massive hit Zutopia the same.
