Hey, everybody.

Welcome to the McCraig podcast.

I'm J.D. Sexton here with a good friend Nick Houseman. Nick, how you doing, bud? I'm doing okay. I'm doing pretty well. We're having a, there's a Hollywood shoot next door. And man, are there a lot of trucks out there? Hollywood shoot, you say. Oh, yeah, yeah. Are we talking movie? Are we talking commercial? What are we doing here? It is a commercial for Uber, but they're going to be inside. I said, oh, you're going to be on the driveway, right? No, I guess the point is, Jared, is that you're in your house when you call the Uber, right? So they have to document that part and then the walking out. I don't know. Oh, you have to have the footage of the person looking at their phone and smiling.

Yeah, right. Like on the couch and then this is. Yes.

I had a weirdly enough, a couple of my neighbors sold their houses to a commercial shoot not too long ago.

And it's incredible how quickly the cars and the people descended.

And it was like, I went on my run and it was like running through like a set, but it was

blocks worth of it.

I don't know how you all live like that.

It's madness.

Let me just really quickly.

I know it's not the weekend, but let's recommend the movie The Limey

because there's an incredible sequence where these two hitmen guys are basically observing a shoot

of a film shoot. And it is the most, it's the funniest thing you're ever going to hear as they're

commenting on people walking by. Please go watch that tomorrow. I love that we're getting ready to have this conversation about the state of the world, and meanwhile, the fantasy world is being filmed next door to you. Yeah, exactly, right. Not me worry. That's fantastic. Everyone, we got a full show. There is so much shit going on right now that we have to get to. Before we do that, a reminder, head over to patreon.com slash my Craig podcast. Support the show. We have no sponsors. We don't run ads. We need to remain editorially independent. We rely on you. And also, by the way, you're already listening to the previews for the weekender. We'll talk about film shoots on the weekend or for an hour. I don't give a shit.

Let's do it.

Let's roll.

But that's patreon.com slash my Craig podcast.

Nick, as an analyst who, by the way, is trying to get locked in really, really hard on what is going on with the war in Iran and the associated reverberations that will affect all of

our lives. And for the record, like the shocks to the system are well on their way. It's merely a few

days or a couple of weeks until we really start feeling them. Being that analyst, I was hanging out

on my Sunday. I just enjoyed a wonderful elite eight game between Yukon and Duke.
