You're needed in Dubai right now. I'm there. I'm there. I'll just pop my Dubai sim in and call today. Not even a part of my Dubai sim may already be in there. You don't know. I may have just come back from Dubai. Anyhow, this is the verge cast. We're discussed the week in items that we're interested in talking about. That's right. Josh's travels in my travels by New Mexico. Whatever.

The actual Mexico. Actual Mexico. Old Mexico. I guess it would be because the actual would be like it would be what it's fake Mexico. Actual Mexico. What if there were an English settlement in old Mexico? It would be yield Mexico. He old Mexico. He old. That's definitely a place in Vegas. Yeah. Or new would have an E on the end of it. Right. New. New. Anyhow. A lot of stuff. A lot of things to discuss and I got to tell you. This is an exciting.

Verge cast. For reasons that I can't tell you yet. And may and may decide to not tell you. But we'll see. We're just weighing it. I just heard Ross laugh. Yeah. He's like, oh God. Don't do this to me. Yeah. Anyhow, but I'm sorry. I'm just checking on my hair and trying to figure out if it doesn't take your time. I got you do it. By the way, business cash Thursday. Cash going on Thursday. Cash. Yeah. Is that a thing? I'm just like. I'm like so whatever Thursday. You know what I mean? That yes, that is am I quoting. You just don't mean. Yes, I am quoting. I'm

saying. As you should. A Canadian goddess. If there ever was one. Am I right? No. Minnesota. No. What's the Minnesota? Duck kind of man. Ducks are great up forever. Minnesota. Can the connection. It's the weather. Right. Have you heard of this duck duck? Grey duck instead of duck goose? Sure. Sure. That is nonsense. Everybody knows that. That's I've never heard that. Thank you. If you look at duck duck, what everywhere in America except for Minnesota, they played duck duck goose. This insane game that is clearly inferior to what we

played Minnesota, which is duck duck. Grey duck. Duck duck. Grey duck. Yeah. So it's like you're a duck. You're a duck. You're a duck. But your color is gray. Yeah. But no, what's with. You just much more duck duck goose. Whatever. Yeah. We can handle. Wow. Look at this. Yeah. See? Because you can go yellow duck blue. There is a Canadian. There's a Canadian connection though to that. Right. Yeah. That's probably what they do. What about in Canada? Do we know? I think that it's just goose and Canada. It's just goose, goose, goose, goose, goose.

It's like a goose, goose, a. Yeah. And then you apologize afterwards. Sorry. Sorry about that. So anyhow. So a lot of talk about this week. A lot to talk about. Let's just start with what I consider to be one of the most exciting pieces of news. I've heard in a while. Christian Bale, maybe the next Steve Jobs. Well, it's like we're like steps away from me. It's like you might possibly potentially around the

story today, which is that fincher is like see Christian Bale is my only choice to play Steve Jobs in my not officially announced. Right. Maybe is not happening, but is happening. It's all we know. We don't need to do is happening. Biopic. Right. And we know Sorkin is writing it. Those are the only. Is that on paper? Is that a fact? I believe. Yeah. That's that's a fact. I think we think it's going to be like three scenes surrounding. Oh, right. Around like launch events. The launch event. That's an old. That's an old rumor. Isn't it? Yeah, it is. No, but Sorkin has said that.

That's true. Okay. That is true. This is what this is what I can tell already. This is what he will pay their virgin cast money for this conversation. Let me let me let me just lead this discussion by saying that. I think this is a mistake. Why? No, that's the. What I hear is what I also after seeing him in American hustle, which I just watched. He's so good in that movie. Surprise. Very surprised by his the depth. I mean, I feel like nobody talks about him being in that movie. He's the star of the movie. Yeah. I feel like it's not really. So he's not really covered.

Christian Bell can do angry Steve Jobs is fine. Like here's, you know, he can freak out on people. And that needs to happen. But does he have a reality distortion field? Does he inspire? Like love and hope? Have you seen American? That's like 100% what he does in American. There is a there. Yes, I would say he has a sauce. That's like his whole character. I've never seen this. I feel like it's there. I feel like this works, you know. Yeah, wow. See them side by side. And he can actually come on the left, right? He can ask. This guy can act. Bail can act. And he'll and he'll lose weight.

He'll gain weight, you know, jobs that he is. Well, you know, but jobs and you know, when you got sick, he had huge weight, financial fluctuations in the 90s and in the early 2000s, he was actually kind of heavy. Yeah, you know, there's like a period where. So that's like we know Christian Bell can just jam on that machine.

A machine is called insane in it, right? Yeah. So, you know, it's kind of a bummer to talk about. But that if you need someone to get sick, to look like they're really truly sick on film. Like, Christian Bell is your man. He's like, how much? He's like, how much weight do I need to lose? Give me 20 minutes. He's like, original birth weight. No.

No problem. I'm there. I have a car. But he's like, he's compelling in part because he's so often inscrutable. And I don't think that Steve Jobs is inscrutable. He wears his heart on a sleeve. And I don't think I can get that out. No, I can see it. I totally see it now. I'm completely now. Now that they've said that if he, if it's anybody else, I'm going to be very upset at this point.

I probably go crazy. No, I was even out there. No, I could possibility. Well, that would be interesting. Well, here's the problem. He's not going to carry. They're not going to put no wily in the fincher. No, there's sork and written jobs. I mean, he just can't carry a movie like that. They need star power. You know, be great. Tom Cruise started out there. Can we get a picture of Tom Cruise next to an old picture of Steve Jobs? I don't know. It could work. I mean, I think it could work, honestly. Tom Cruise Christian Bales in the right human. Pretty good actor. No, he's a great person and a great actor. My personal friend, Tom Cruise.

That's right. What? You get their pals. I hung out with Cruise. Oh, that's right. I cruise missiles. I referred to him. Um, he likes that a lot. He was great. One of the greatest people I've ever met in my entire life. Did he leap on couches? I mean, you don't understand. I've told this story before. But many years ago, I started like even like I hadn't really hadn't seen them any Tom Cruise movies. I started like talking about, you know, because you're seeing about Tom Cruise. In a lot of social circles, Tom Cruise gets some guff. Like you were just, you were just, you just said terrible person, great actor or something. There we go. Totally, totally.

He could play him. Yeah, this connection. I'm feeling very good about Tom Cruise in that role. Very good. He's got a vulnerability. If you see him in Magnolia, incredible performance. Anyhow, so many years ago, Tom Cruise, many years ago, pre Magnolia, which is one of my favorite movies. And he's excellent in it. Paul Thomas Anderson, by the way, you check it out. If you haven't seen it, it's three and a half hours. You know, I used to factor my long plane rides by going like, well, this is like two Magnolias. So anyhow, I had this kind of running joke that he people would be like, Tom Cruise, you know,

and I'd be like, yeah, I think he's great. He's actually my favorite actor. And then it turned into like, I started really like getting into Tom Cruise and watching his films. And then it was like, I became like fairly obsessed with Tom Cruise. And excited. Like, if he was on a talk show, I would like stay up to tune in. We'll not stay up. But I would make sure to tune in. Stay away. If his film of his was on TV, I would definitely watch it. And then finally, I got to totally hang out with him backstage at late night, which was the, you're truly the pinnacle of my existence as a human. I just I remember having a baby.

Better have a good, worse with my child than having a conversation with Tom. And he like legit. And yeah, I don't want to go into but he like came into the dressing room and like talked about books with with me in Laura for like 10 minutes. He was insane. What is he? He was reading. No, we were talking about the series. No, we were talking about the series that he was really into called the, I think it's called the Lensman, which is like a 1920. No, no, it's like from the 1920s. The Lensman series. Yeah. It's a space opera written by a

Edward Elmer Doc Smith, and yeah, it was first published in

1937 he started writing these stories. Anyhow, he was like talking about how he wanted to do he wanted he was like
