Speaker 1 (00:00):
You saw Minecraft over the weekend.

Speaker 2 (00:03):
Sunday afternoon.

Speaker 1 (00:04):
Yet their how now I should ask did you go
by yourself or did you did you take kids with you?

Speaker 2 (00:12):
I took my son, my my seven year old son.

Speaker 1 (00:16):
Excellent, excellent, and the two of you enjoyed it or no.

Speaker 2 (00:22):
Team liked it, which is all that matters, right.

Speaker 1 (00:26):
Yeah, exactly exactly.

Speaker 3 (00:28):
So your kid was big into Minecraft or is big
into Minecraft, but not your thing, right.

Speaker 2 (00:35):
Yeah, I'm not a kids that I mean, I'm not
a gamer, but I you know, young enough to grow
up in the video game you know, Push if you will,
Nintendo Super in the whole game bit, you know, got
a couple of PlayStations at the house and that kind
of thing. But he got really dig into Minecraft with school,
right elementary school, that the education thought of it, and
and it's been playing a lot of it. So it

(00:55):
all kind of happened really quick for him. Right, But
the movie wasn't as much centered around the game as
I think he would have preferred.

Speaker 3 (01:06):
Here's my question about the movie. And like, like, for example,
my boys were into it. I never was, like I
never got into it, and really at all, It's just I.

Speaker 1 (01:15):
Like video games. But that just wasn't.

Speaker 3 (01:17):
It wasn't for me, but my boys loved it when
they were when they were younger.

Speaker 1 (01:22):
But here's what I wanted to ask you about the movie.
Was there a part in the movie, whether it was
for your son or other people in the movie, a
very very specific moment where people kind of lost their
ass during the movie.

Speaker 2 (01:38):
There were there were a few instances where some maybe
around my fun age a little bit younger, where yes,
they they were very very a couple of instances, very
vocal yelling and telling their parents more about why this
thing happened or whatever they thought about it.

Speaker 1 (02:00):
Were they throwing popcorn or d or like food in
the air.

Speaker 4 (02:06):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (02:07):
We were that the front of the back rows, if
you know what I mean. So we're not like next
crinkled up looking up at the shot, but we're in
like regular seats. But we were at the front, so
basically everybody else was kind of either to my left
or behind us. So I never saw any popcorn right
or or or I didn't get hit with any liquid.

(02:28):
But it wouldn't surprise me based upon the Ruckus if
something like that had occurred.

Speaker 3 (02:33):
And was and you don't have to give it away,
was the outburst after something very very specific was said
during the movie.

Speaker 2 (02:47):
Not that I can specifically recall any words.

Speaker 1 (02:50):
It was more the.

Speaker 2 (02:54):
What happened in the movie, specifically in a couple of instances,
whether it was a character that they weren't planning to
see or reaction in the world. The kids will like
my son said, he actually one of them. He told me,
he said, he said, see I've told you about this
that he goes right over my head.

Speaker 3 (03:15):
Yeah right, I'm with you. I'm with you, all right,
very good, very good, Thank you, sir, thank you. A
lot of theaters are sending out warnings for a very
very there's a very specific moment during the movie, I believe,
where people are standing up and cheering and screaming and

(03:36):
yelling and throwing popcorn in the air and celebrating, and it's.

Speaker 5 (03:41):
A it comes after one time in the whole movie.

Speaker 3 (03:44):
I don't know if it's just one time. I just
know it comes after Jack Black, who's in the movie.

Speaker 6 (03:49):
I just want to warn you not to give anything away.

Speaker 1 (03:53):
No, I was just gonna say it says something very specific.

Speaker 6 (03:57):
From your reading about it, does it seem like it's
a major spoiler.

Speaker 1 (04:00):
No, not at all.

Speaker 6 (04:02):
So it's something that is related to the gameplay from
the video game.

Speaker 3 (04:09):
I know that, Yes, yes, Jack Black says something okay,
which apparently is rare in the video game.

Speaker 1 (04:22):
Oh okay, And.

Speaker 3 (04:24):
It obviously happens during the movie, and when it does,
people lose their mind to literally to the point where
theaters are like sending out warnings, do not do this,
We'll shut the movie down.

Speaker 6 (04:37):
That's like singing during Wicked.

Speaker 5 (04:38):
Okay, that was a problem.

Speaker 1 (04:42):
I know, I know, I know you like Gladiator too
better a thousand times, so you didn't even see what
am I going to line too? Hi Ellie in the morning. Hello, Hello, yeah, Hi,
who's that?

Speaker 7 (05:02):
This is Cara?

Speaker 1 (05:03):
Hi, Carra, how are you?

Speaker 7 (05:05):
I'm good? Thank you?

Speaker 1 (05:07):
And you saw you saw the Minecraft movie?

Speaker 7 (05:10):
I did. I saw it this weekend with a friend
of mine and her kids, and my son.

Speaker 1 (05:15):
Was there an outburst during a very specific moment of
the movie.

Speaker 7 (05:20):
No, And there was no like I heard the other guy,
I heard you talk to the other guy. Nobody threw popcorn.
And we were at the Alamo and Stonebridge and Woodbridge,
and everybody's pretty calm, even the kids, you know, kids
only are all hyper and talking about the movie. No,
it was pretty calm and nice.

Speaker 1 (05:35):
Huh huh. Yeah, and again nobody in Woodbridge was yelling
and screaming.

Speaker 2 (05:44):
No, why do you expect that from Woodbridge, ma'am?

Speaker 3 (05:48):
I'm just saying, all right, very good, very good, Thank you, ma'am,
thank you.

Speaker 5 (05:55):
I want to say what it is, Well, you don't
want to spoil it for people.

Speaker 3 (05:59):
I don't think it's spoiling now, I really, But again,
I'm not a Minecraft person. I know what Jack Black
says and it means nothing to me. So therefore, if
I say it, I don't think it means anything.

Speaker 6 (06:13):
So have you seen the clip.

Speaker 1 (06:16):
I've seen video of inside theaters of kids screaming and
throwing popcorn and going nuts.

Speaker 6 (06:22):
So is Jack Black saying it to another character?

Speaker 1 (06:26):
Oh? I've really just focused on what's going on in
the theater. Yeah.

Speaker 6 (06:35):
I don't think I'm gonna push my son to go
see this. I want to If we don't find this out,
I want to be there to see it happen in
unfold in real time.

Speaker 3 (06:44):
Audiences attending screenings of the Minecraft movie are being asked
by cinemas to avoid quote disruptive behavior, where a lot
of viewers react to one particular scene. Clips are being
shared of theaters around the country screaming and throwing popcorn

(07:04):
when Jack Black's character says, hmmm, yeah, police had to
escort an entire group of kids out of the theater.
Mine seven, Hi, Elliott in the morning.

Speaker 1 (07:17):
Why can't why? Why do I what? Excuse me? Why
do I feel like I shouldn't say the phrase.

Speaker 6 (07:23):
Because much like our discussion about the White Lotus, right,
there's the White Lotus.

Speaker 1 (07:28):
I've never seen.

Speaker 6 (07:29):
Exactly, but yeah, but it's an elite lack of understanding
for context.

Speaker 8 (07:33):
No I know.

Speaker 3 (07:33):
But what I'm telling you is somebody could call right
now and go, oh my god, at the end of
White Lotus ABC and D happened, and I would go,
all right, and then I'd move right on with my life.

Speaker 1 (07:44):
So if you don't, if it.

Speaker 3 (07:45):
Doesn't mean anything to you, what I say, If I
tell you what Jack Black says, it doesn't mean anything.

Speaker 1 (07:50):
And if you know the movie, you'll hear and you'll
go like, oh.

Speaker 5 (07:52):
Wow, yeah, but it could still spoil a surprise for somebody.

Speaker 6 (07:57):
But a fan tell us, there we go.

Speaker 1 (08:00):
Do you know what? Do you know what I'm talking about?

Speaker 4 (08:02):
I do, I do and I do not think it
had anything to do with anything at all, much like
the entire movie had nothing to do It did not
make any sense to me. The kids that I went with,
they thought it was crazy, but I don't think it
has to do with anything.

Speaker 1 (08:20):
Did they did? They throw popcorn and jump up and
down and stuff.

Speaker 9 (08:23):
My nephew, he is nine.

Speaker 4 (08:26):
He got overly excited, but he would get his butt
whooped if he threw popcorn in the theater. So no,
there was I mean, definitely riled up kids, no popcorn,
and iron I knew.

Speaker 1 (08:40):
I want to say it.

Speaker 9 (08:41):
I want to say it.

Speaker 4 (08:42):
It has nothing to do with anything. I think it's
okay to say.

Speaker 1 (08:47):
Does it? Let me let me ask you this, just
so we're on the same page. Are you ready?

Speaker 8 (08:51):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (08:53):
Well, I don't even want to do that because I.

Speaker 6 (09:00):
Love that song.

Speaker 1 (09:00):
Broadcast.

Speaker 3 (09:02):
Oh you'll probably hear it at noon two, four, six
and eight on the station hopefully nine place.

Speaker 1 (09:06):
Eminem All right, are you ready? Are you ready? Wait?
What's a good clue? What's a good clue?

Speaker 6 (09:13):
What was that?

Speaker 10 (09:18):
Wait?

Speaker 1 (09:18):
Hold on, say again? She knows, she knows, and she knows,
she doesn't even hear you. I don't know.

Speaker 9 (09:23):
Yeah, that's it, all right?

Speaker 8 (09:26):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (09:27):
Anything, Well, that's her, that's what she said though, Oh
good one.

Speaker 3 (09:35):
No, no, she doesn't think so. But she also didn't
watch White Lotus. I have you horrible horrible finality.

Speaker 4 (09:45):
I haven't yet.

Speaker 1 (09:46):
You're not missing anything, you just I also haven't seen
it either. Hey, what is the so that?

Speaker 3 (09:52):
So the part that we're talking about doesn't give anything
away in the movie?

Speaker 4 (09:55):
Nothing, nothing at all. I think you're okay.

Speaker 1 (09:59):
So why but why? Why are kids losing their mind?
I don't know.

Speaker 4 (10:04):
I don't I've never watched mine or played Minecraft I
when I got home. Right if if the kids went
crazy because he saw it too, I have no idea.

Speaker 1 (10:18):
The movie was very weird. All right, very good, very good?
Thank you man, I love you.

Speaker 6 (10:23):
Yes, based on your hint, yes, I think that Colin
on X has gotten it. So may I just read
his post?

Speaker 1 (10:31):
Is he going to say what the phrase is?

Speaker 6 (10:33):
I think he's smart enough not to spoil something, so,
like the caller, he doesn't think it gives it away? Okay,
saw it this weekend. Lots of references, get cheers and applause.
The biggest is chicken jockey? Is that what you were doing?

Speaker 1 (10:50):
Yes.

Speaker 3 (10:52):
Now I don't know what chicken jockey is. Apparently listen,
Like I said, I'm not a Minecraft.

Speaker 5 (10:58):
Guy is the character?

Speaker 1 (10:59):
I feel a thousand years old right now because I
don't know what it is.

Speaker 3 (11:06):
Sorry, I don't play Minecraft. I begrudge no one that does.
I just happen to play sports video games. So does
Jack Black play a chicken jockey?

Speaker 1 (11:17):
No, he says it says that the theater's go nuts.
When Jack Black's character says the phrase.

Speaker 6 (11:27):
Now we can say it chicken jockey, Bill.

Speaker 1 (11:29):
CJ not my favorite line. Seven Hi elliot in the morning.
Hey here's a gone good. Who's this?

Speaker 11 (11:42):
This is Kevin from Germantown.

Speaker 1 (11:44):
Actually, yes, a chicken jockey.

Speaker 11 (11:49):
It is chicken jockey. Okay, honestly, I have no idea
why it's exploding, but it's very funny. I've seen like
an aftermath video, like some workers cleaning up the mess.

Speaker 1 (11:59):
Yeah, I know, like, but and they do. They're unload.

Speaker 11 (12:02):
It was like a pile that they were trying to
sweep up.

Speaker 8 (12:06):
It was ridiculous.

Speaker 6 (12:07):
It looked like a terrorist attack.

Speaker 1 (12:10):
But now, but you don't understand why, I don't either.

Speaker 8 (12:15):
No, I guess it's just funny.

Speaker 3 (12:16):
All right, very good, all right, get out of here,
all right, goodbye, goodbye.

Speaker 6 (12:22):
All right. So here's one of the videos.

Speaker 1 (12:23):
One of the videos die in.

Speaker 5 (12:24):
Okay, you're ready.

Speaker 6 (12:25):
Yeah, you're not gonna hear it. You're just gonna apparently
see the reaction.

Speaker 4 (12:31):
There we go.

Speaker 6 (12:34):
And they pant.

Speaker 1 (12:38):
Throwing buckets.

Speaker 2 (12:40):
You know what.

Speaker 6 (12:40):
On second thought, maybe I don't need to go see
this with my son.

Speaker 1 (12:43):
They're throwing buckets.

Speaker 5 (12:44):
You can't sit out right now.

Speaker 1 (12:47):
That's the fuzz. Get come on, get a sense of here.

Speaker 5 (12:51):
So they have cops that they're ready at this theater.

Speaker 1 (12:53):
Or I don't know this theater.

Speaker 6 (12:56):
Does these little like middle schoolers get kicked out? Did
you ever have a moment in any any of the
releases from when you were working at the movie theater
that were causing viral reactions?

Speaker 1 (13:09):
No, there was when I worked in the movie theater.
There was no.

Speaker 6 (13:11):
Viral uh, I mean there was, like Rocky Horror had moments, yeah.

Speaker 1 (13:16):
No, but nobody was that was expected. Yeah, but like
nobody was filming anything like some people you know, sorry
sucken jock, they know, Yeah, but no, it wasn't the
Rocky Horror.

Speaker 5 (13:28):
I don't I don't remember there ever being like hey,
no newspapers you know, or were spray guns or you
know what I mean.

Speaker 1 (13:35):
Like I'm also I'm trying to think of like what
like what movies were out, Like here was Rambo. I
don't think anybody was.

Speaker 5 (13:44):
Like an accompanying act with when he.

Speaker 1 (13:47):
Was like you drew first Blood and everybody's like.

Speaker 6 (13:53):
It does seem now we didn't really get much of
the on screen action. Barry says, Jason Lamoa is fighting
the chicken jockey? Is that?

Speaker 1 (14:04):
Is that right?

Speaker 6 (14:05):
Elliott?

Speaker 1 (14:05):
Have you read that? I have not. I just heard that.

Speaker 3 (14:08):
Jack Black says trigger and ardor and then all hell
breaks loose?

Speaker 6 (14:14):
Oh, Randy checking in. He loves movies and hates when
you do this, Elliot.

Speaker 1 (14:22):
Not going to see Minecraft? Why is Randy going to
see it? How much money to make?

Speaker 6 (14:30):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (14:30):
Yeah, I made a ton of move Hi in the morning.

Speaker 4 (14:35):
Hi, it's me.

Speaker 1 (14:36):
Yeah, Hi, who's this? Hey? This is James? Yes, James?
What can I do for you?

Speaker 11 (14:42):
I went with some friends and took our kids and
I don't know Minecraft. I'm pretty big gamer, but I
never gotten Minecraft. Didn't know my kids were into it.
But there's probably three different instances where the kids went nuts,
and I had no clue why until afterwards. Chicken Jockey
was one of them. But then there's another where there's
a certain character that came out, and the way they

(15:03):
kind of explained it to me, or tried to explain
it to me, is that the character, whatever that instance was,
is like one of the hardest things to do or
acquire in the game, and only a certain group of
famous YouTubers gamers of that game had accomplished. So it's

(15:24):
like a huge deal that, you know.

Speaker 10 (15:29):
It's like it's like a myth, right, So all they about,
all they've ever heard about is Chicken Jockey, but they've
never seen it, and now all of a sudden.

Speaker 11 (15:41):
Yeah, so it's like, you know, everybody knows chicken Jackie exists,
but nobody's ever seen it until famous famous gamers. And
then and then the other thing is, I guess the
that pop their YouTube gamer for Minecraft has a specific
what do you want to call it? Uh, I don't
know what you call where you have a character that

(16:02):
represents who you are, the images of Modi or something
like that, not I don't know what it is. But
that actual icon also.

Speaker 5 (16:10):
Appeared and.

Speaker 1 (16:13):
It's pretty good that's pretty good. All right, very good,
thank you. I like that. That's pretty good.

Speaker 6 (16:19):
Megan writes on Facebook. The audience screamed and applauded a lot,
but Chicken Jockey was definitely the loudest. My ears still hurt.

Speaker 1 (16:29):
So that is the moment. So all I've I've heard
of chicken Jockey, but now here he is.

Speaker 6 (16:35):
How stupid would we all feel in a screening of this?

Speaker 3 (16:39):
I'd stand up and start cheering, just because I feel
I would feel lost.

Speaker 6 (16:42):
No, I feel like it be what Lindsey felt during
the Robbie Williams biopic. I threw so much popcorn.

Speaker 1 (16:53):
So that's the big moment, though, Diane.

Speaker 6 (16:56):
And how long does it last? Like a couple seconds?

Speaker 1 (16:59):
Like I don't even think it's a couple of seconds.
I think it's a second.

Speaker 6 (17:03):
So Chicken Jockey is only on the screen for.

Speaker 3 (17:05):
I haven't seen it a moment, I think, so, my luck,
that's where I That's when I'd be pissing.

Speaker 6 (17:12):
No, well, I'd love to know how soon it is
into the film that you already need a bathroom. I
drink a lot of soda during the previews.

Speaker 9 (17:23):
Hi in the morning, Good morning, Hey, who's this as Tia,
I actually think I might have a serie with the
whole chicken jockey thing. So according to my son, it's
like a really rare mob spawn, so you don't really
see it very often. We're like a little zombie baby
writes the chicken.

Speaker 1 (17:44):
Uh yeah, yes, Oh, it's just very yeah. So it's
kind of like what the last guy said. I thought
the last guy did a good job where everybody knows
of it, but nobody's ever nobody's done well enough in
the game to actually see it.

Speaker 3 (18:05):
And now here I am at a movie theater with my
with all my nerdy friends and their popcorn, and then
all of a sudden, here's chicken jockey and wow.

Speaker 6 (18:15):
And all I know is that the more we keep
saying it, the more it sounds like an ethnic slur.
It's making me uncomfortable to keep saying it. Just sounds
sounds like you're putting someone down.

Speaker 1 (18:29):
For their race game.

Speaker 6 (18:32):
I don't know what Stayson Momoa, No, there's nothing wrong
with it.

Speaker 3 (18:42):
All I keep hearing is the chicken dance in my head,
which if I got to hear that. By the way,
if there's one reason I was glad that I wasn't
at Sunday's game on Long Island.

Speaker 1 (18:53):
Is the goddamn chicken dance music.

Speaker 6 (18:55):
I was Matthew telling you about that last night the.

Speaker 1 (18:58):
Well, we were just discussing it.

Speaker 6 (19:00):
He went to the game.

Speaker 1 (19:01):
Yeah, I know, but everybody knows that's their thing.

Speaker 6 (19:04):
And you heard it a few.

Speaker 3 (19:05):
Times multiple times. Oh god, yeah, clear my throat. No,
but at least that was for a goal. They just
play it there just to get.

Speaker 1 (19:13):
Everybody in the chance. Yeah, it's not and it doesn't
have anything to do with the capitals. It's about the Rangers, right,
So like whenever there's a quiet moment, you get no, no, no, no, no,
no no, You're.

Speaker 3 (19:24):
Like, oh my god, enough already, we get it. Where
am I going? Yeah, at least let me clear my throat.
Is when the when the Sabers scored, Now, unfortunately they
scored about every two minutes.

Speaker 5 (19:37):
I couldn't hear it. The sign was in front of.

Speaker 1 (19:43):
Hi Yellie at the morning real.

Speaker 8 (19:44):
Quick, hella, hella. I knowed chicken jockey is the chicken
jackie is when the little baby zombie is riding on
a chicken, like as if you know a jockey on
a horse. So the the jockey is the little baby
zombie and it's riding on a chicken. So everybody's going
crazy about it because to see it in a Minecraft

(20:05):
realm is so rare, and to see it in the movie,
I guess it's just like whoa call out, you know,
but it's so rare today you can see it in
did you go Minecraft?

Speaker 1 (20:16):
Did you go to the Have you seen the movie?

Speaker 8 (20:19):
No, but I've seen like clips online. I'm not going
to go to the movie. I played Minecraft like a
decade ago.

Speaker 1 (20:26):
Oh and then my dad got all right, very good,
very good.

Speaker 8 (20:30):
They also also also the other little caveo that that
guy was talked about, who is a Minecraft? What is that?
The guy? It's not a spoiler, it's it's a nice
call out to a Minecraft YouTuber that died of cancer.
So so he had a little cameo in the movie

(20:50):
of his little avatar. I guess from when he would
stream Minecraft.

Speaker 1 (20:57):
Uh, it's kind of nice.

Speaker 8 (21:00):
Yeah, I like that.

Speaker 1 (21:01):
I like that all right, very.

Speaker 8 (21:03):
Like Techno Blade, it's cute.

Speaker 1 (21:05):
It's cute, all right, very good. I appreciate it. That's
pretty nice. Good on them.

Speaker 6 (21:09):
Sounds like there's a decent amount of fan service in
this film.

Speaker 1 (21:12):
Which is good to see. I give him credit for that.

Speaker 6 (21:14):
Though you can make a mess of fan service.

Speaker 1 (21:17):
No, but it sounds like they picked the right ones,
Like the You Know What movie.

Speaker 6 (21:20):
I enjoyed and didn't get a lot of the references
the Mario movie, but I'm sure Mike Jones popcorn constantly
during that film.

Speaker 3 (21:30):
I Jones told me he watched that whole movie with
a big old boner.

Speaker 6 (21:33):
Great, Kristen, didn't you see that with you
