Podcasts about is tom

Folks. We're just as confused by Erika Jayne and her strategy as we were 2 weeks ago. WHEN WILL THINGS START MAKING SENSE? Is Tom a cold calculated monster, or a decrepit crumble of a man with dementia? Is Erika finding it all out with everyone else, or is she just covering for legal reasons? Will anyone ever get mad at Kathy for not participating in 60% of housewives activities? Who can say! We speculate, we investigate, and we laugh. Join us.   Instagram/Tiktok: @tildeathdousrecap Intro Song: Don't Go Home - Pet Dress

Okay, not a lot "happened" per se however, we had quite the information download and have plenty to say about it. What are your thoughts on Erika's entrance? Her Oscar (or Razzie depending on your thoughts) winning entrance? Her explanation of this car crash that makes zero sense? Is Erika the clueless trophy wife or the conniving financial partner in crime? Is Tom a bumbling old man with dementia or a shrewd, heartless lawyer ready to ruin Erika's life? IT'S A LOT to consider. We also got to witness the housewives doing a full moon ritual, Kathy play rock hard bread like an instrument, and Rinna saying @champagnepapi. Listen to Britt & Tim get a little heated over their thoughts and disagreements!    Instragram/Tiktok: @Tildeathdousrecap Intro Song: Don't Go Home - Pet Dress

The completion of Rinna's Positano garden party does NOT disappoint. We have more huddling around and coddling of Sutton, more of the word "violation", and some truly "AWKWARD INAPPROPRIATE" moments. From there, we try our hand again at amateur investigating, body language reading, and general wild conjecture over the Erika Jayne of it all. Is Tom a big scary powerful man, or a melting decrepit man without his faculties? Did Erika forget her waterproof mascara on accident, or on purpose? Does Erika think she's the only victim of this situation? Cause some widows and orphans might beg to differ... Okay, this all sounds really harsh, but we really are still quite stumped. Join us in processing all of this together!   Instagram/TikTok: @tildeathdousrecap Intro Song: Don't Go Home - Pet Dress

In October 2018, Tom Hagen's wife disappeared with no solid evidence of her whereabouts. A letter was discovered, which said she had been taken for ransom and the abductor is demanding 9 million Euros. The question authorities end up asking: Is Tom innocent?

**If you haven't already make sure to listen to part one to hear the top 10 through six players!** Some highlights from part two, as we wind down our rewatch and countdown of the top ten Palau players: Our first ever pre-merger cracks the top five in a season top ten players rewatch. Is Tom kind of a villain? Is there a double standard with Katie, who seemed to deceive just as much as Tom? Was Ian actually buying what Tom and Katie were selling?  Our thoughts on recent season 41 news. and much, much more! Make sure to follow us on Twitter and stay tuned for more rewatches and recaps as we get a little closer to the season 41 premiere in September!

This week, Mark and Allen break down the Episode that introduces the three men that preceded Ron as Pawnee Parks Director!  Working on the Pawnee Summer Catalog, Leslie puts together a reunion between Ron Swanson and his three Park Director predecessors. She hopes it will be a joyous occasion and plans to write a letter about it for the catalog. However, they all suck. None of the four men get along with each other, and they each have their own less than admirable traits: Clarence (sexist), David (litters, doesn't care about parks), Michael (obsessed with marijuana), and Ron is...well... Ron.  Meanwhile, Tom has been tasked with taking the cover photo for the Summer Catalog, and convinces Ann and Mark to pose for photos at a community park. Tom is repeatedly frustrated with Ann, who has a difficult time appearing happy. When the photos are finished, Ann agrees that she looks miserable and asks that the pictures not be used. Mark appears concerned that Ann's unhappiness is a reflection of their relationship.  Additionally, April and Andy have been hanging out more and growing closer. After helping Leslie set up the Park Director reunion picnic, Andy asks April to get drinks after work, and she quickly agrees. But when they arrive at the bar, the bouncer notices April appears to be underage, and her ID confirms she is 20... which makes Andy uncomfortable.  Loyal viewers, as always we tackle the hard-hitting questions so you don't have to, such as...  How does one accurately convey "slithering"?  Why would anyone eat anything other than breakfast food?  What exactly IS Tom thinking in that hi-res photo?  Will Leslie's letter ever get written?  Does Andy get over his discomfort with April's age?  Folks, you don't want to miss this one.  NOTE: Our intern, Constantine, has requested that those who join us please bring sufficient bacon for trail snacks... we don't want any tantrums.  Many thanks to our inimitable sponsor, JJ's Diner.

We rewatched Palau and things got a little wild towards the end. Some highlights from part one of our two-part rewatch Marc makes a podcasting deal with Dave Dave accepts. Three pre-merge players make the top ten list. Josh remembers everything that's every happened on Survivor. Is Katie good? Bad? Is Tom good? We reassess 16 years of bias about Palau's cast. and much more! Stick around for part two next week. And make sure to follow us on Twitter.

On the forty-third episode of Much Review About Nothing we reviewed Tom and Jerry (2021) with help from a special guest: our good friend John! We’ve dragged him into many of our previous misadventures, so it was only right he should finally end up on our absurd little show. Again, we must point out that we haven't seen the movie. That is 100% not a joke. Everything we know about the film comes from the trailer, reviews, articles, and our own biased preconceptions. Listen along as we ponder burning questions like: Will they ever release the extended cut of Tom’s interview scene? Did this movie rip off Spiderman 2 by also being set in New York? Is Tom and Jerry’s endless struggle an allegory for the often-ambiguous nature of oppressor versus victim throughout human history? Will this film turn children into raging alcoholics? Are we going to be producing a PSA on the disadvantaged subset of people known as “Review Dependents” who can only ask things via online film reviews? But most importantly, is the world ready for Tom and Jerry’s unexpectedly boundary-pushing message: “It’s not gay to kiss your bros”?

A day before the season starts, how do we think things will play out? Tom and David are back, and this time they look into the future and predict how each time will finish the season. Do they agree on who wins it all? Is Tom standing behind his BOLD Dodgers prediction? Thanks for listening!

SPOILER FREE UNTIL 20:08 Tom and Jerry are back on the big screen for the first time since 1992, and now, they're in CG! There's a lot in that sentence that may strike fear into the hearts of Tom and Jerry fans. Firstly, the 1992 movie was... iffy... to say the least, and cartoons getting the CG treatment usually ends in a dumpster fire. But here at The Movie Hoppers, we know no bias. Sure everything is stacked against the old cat and mouse, and the chances of it being acceptable is slim to none, but you know, there's a chance. Is Tom and Jerry just a meaningless cat and mouse game, or does it break the CG animated curse? Find out on this exciting episode of..... THE MOVIE HOPPERS!!!! Check out Molethu's Studios!

USCF expert Tom Murphy is undoubtedly one of the most renowned “park speed chess” players to live in the U.S. in the last few decades. He is a local legend in the cities in which he has lived:  Philadelphia, Washington D.C., and Chicago, and has often been featured in the local media in those cities. It’s hard to miss Tom in popular chess hotspots due to his strong play and his entertaining banter.

I’m Adam David Collings, the author of Jewel of The Stars And I am a nerd.   This is episode 27 of the podcast. Today, I’m doing part 2 of my Lord of The Rings Read, Walk, and Watch Series.   I’ve been using the Walk To Mordor App, and a fitbit, to retrace the steps of Frodo and Sam on their epic journey from Hobbiton to Mordor. As I walk the story, I’m also revisiting both the book and the movie and discussing the story.   We pick up this second installment at Buckleberry Ferry. So let’s talk about Lord of The Rings. So Frodo and his companions cross on the Buckleberry Ferry and make their way to Frodo’s new home at Crickhollow - the next milestone on my walk.   Its strikes me that Hobbits take such joy in simple pleasures. Frodo sings his favourite bath song. Favourite, implying there is more than one song 1 specifically dedicated to baths.   Frodo learns that Merry and Pippin know a good deal more about his current situation than they’re supposed to. It seems Sam has been feeding them information. Frodo is conflicted about this. He’s a little hurt and almost feels betrayed, but he’s also amused. Sam reminds him that Gandalf told him to take a companion he could trust with him on his adventure. “But it does not seem that I can trust anyone,” Frodo says.   And Merry says “It all depends on what you want. You can trust us to stick to you through thick and thin  - to the bitter end. And you can trust us to keep any secret of yours - closer than you keep it yourself. But you cannot trust us to let you face trouble alone, and go off without a word. We are your friends , Frodo. Anyway, there it is. We know most of what Gandalf has told you. We know a good deal about the ring. We are horribly afraid - but we are coming with you; or following you like hounds.”   One of the strongest themes that comes through this story, to me, is that of friendship. If there’s one thing that Hobbits are good at, it’s friendship. Sam, Merry and Pippin demonstrate true dedication to their friend.  Sam especially. I think that’s one of the things we all love so much about this story. Because we all want a friend as true as Sam. and perhaps we all aspire to be a friend like Sam.   In any case, it gives Frodo great joy to know his friends will not let him embark on this journey alone. And it gives me great joy to read about it.   So they finally leave the borders of shire. They’re really out of their element now. The hobbits have a real fear of the forest. I may not fully appreciate this fear of the woods. European woods are very different to the Australian bush. As I understand it, they’re more closed in, dark, and claustrophobic. A far cry from the wide open spaces Australia is known for. And this is where we get our first hint at the idea of sentient trees. These plants are not mindless. They have thoughts. Wills.   And this brings me to my next milestone. Old Man Willow. Old Man Willow is pretty darn creepy. This ancient tree with a mind of its own, and seemingly malicious intent entices them to sleep, and then traps Merry and Pippin, and tries to drown Frodo.   Enter Tom Bombadil. Now, Tom Bombadil has always come off as a little bit silly to me. The hobbit’s propensity to sing doesn’t bother me in the same way as Tom’s. Why is that? Is it the nonsense words? Or does it just seem out of place?   When they ask Tom who he is, his first reply is “I am.” I can’t help but see this as a biblical allusion. In the bible, when asked the same question by Moses, God identifies himself as “I am” In English, we translate this as yahweh. Is Tom claiming to be God here? Tom says he is the master of wood, water and hill. And now I can’t help but liken him to Adam. Not me, Adam & Eve. Adam was tasked with tending the garden. Caring for the earth. I’m not saying there’s any direct allegory here. Tolkien has been quoted saying he didn’t like direct allegory. But there’s got to be some of his Christian influence coming out in Tom Bombadil.   The more I read of this, the more convinced I become that, yes, the nonsense words really do annoy me. All this “Derry Dol Dillo.” It bugs the snot out of me.   The next day, in Tom’s house which is my next walking milestone, he tells the hobbits stories of wonder. But we don’t hear those stories. So we’re kind of left in the dark about what’s so great about this odd fellow. We learn the trees, like Old Man Willow, have grown old and hateful because of the destruction wreaked by people. (and by people I suppose I mean all humanoid sentient beings, such as humans, elves, dwarfs, hobbits.)   Tom indicates that he was first. Older than everything. This seems to confirm that he is this world’s Adam. It actually reminds me of Lorien in Babylon 5 - the first sentient being to arise in the universe. (and of course, the name Lorien is likely a Lord of The Rings reference) Lorien was a fascinating wondrous character. I was entranced by him. Tom Bombadil could have evoked similar wondrous feelings in me, but he just ruins it with his silly name and all the rhymes and prancing about. That kills the wonder, in my opinion.   But one of the most fascinating things about him is that he seems to be immune to the ring’s powers. Which raises the question, why doesn’t HE take it to mount doom?  We’ll address this question a little later.   So, they leave Tom’s house and get caught in a fog. Again, fog and mist are much more intimidating in the UK than here. We get a little bit of fog, and it means you have to turn your headlights on. Big deal. And my hometown sits in a valley, so we can get some decent fog sometimes. But it has very rarely been bad enough to cause me any anxiety. To make it impossible to see where you’re driving, or even walking. I’ve heard that in Wales, fog can be terrifying and quite dangerous, because you really can get lost and not be able to see your hand in front of your face. So I have to read this passage with that knowledge in mind.   At my next walking milestone, the hobbits are captured by Baron Wright. This whole passage feels pretty weak. We don’t even really see the character. It’s just. Oh, Frodo bumps into someone. Now he’s in a cell. And then they’re immediately rescued by Tom, who they summon with a song. He appears instantly. It seems old Tom can teleport. Tom sings, and the door opens. And just one more biblical reference for you, this reminds me of Peter’s escape from jail in the books of Acts.   This whole sequence feels completely pointless to me. Just Filler.   But we learn that Tom’s powers are limited to the region where he lives, where he is master. So that explains why he can’t take the ring to Mount Doom.   I remember reading all of this for the first time, after I had already seem the movie. And thinking to myself, I can see why they left all this out. It really doesn’t add anything to the story.   And then, they arrive in Bree, my next milestone. It’s dark, cold, and wet. The comfort of the inn seems very inviting.   They use some great camera tricks in the movie here to make the hobbits look smaller. It’s very basic stuff, using odd angles to shoot, but it’s surprisingly effective.   Their joy at arriving at the inn is tempered by the fact that Gandalf isn’t here.   Pippin’s reaction when he learns that beer comes in pints is priceless. A nice example of character-based humour. But Pippin still doesn’t understand the gravity of their situation. He forgets to keep the name baggins secret.   We get our first mention of Rangers, as they are so called by the people of Bree. they are thought to have strange powers of sight and hearing. It’s said they can understand animals. They wander about and are rarely seem.   One thing I love in the book is the mystery about what happened to Gandlaf. He was supposed to meet them in Hobbiton but he never showed. And all this time, they’ve still had no word from him. As Frodo’s anxiety buits, we can’t help but wonder, what has become of him? Will we ever see him again? If we don’t, what is Frodo to do?   And again, Tokien has this ability to make a hot meal and a comfortable bed feel like the most desirable things in the world. Things we take for granted in the modern world, but in a world like middle earth, and indeed in most of human history, these things were treasured, dreamed of by those who suffered the hardships of travel. We just don’t appreciate that in today’s world.   Once, they’ve been shown their room, and given a meal, the hobbits are invited to join ‘the company’. The movie presents a pub setting that’s quite familiar to us. Individual tables. People sitting in their own groups, talking with those they know. Maybe a few sitting at the bar getting to know each other. But that’s not what Tolkien describes in the book. All those who are staying at the inn that night are gathered together in a room, all talking and getting to know each other. It’s quite an alien concept to me. But it makes sense. There’s no TV. No phones to look at. What did people do of an evening? They met other people and talked with them.   I like the tension of trying whether or not to trust Strider. They don’t know if he secretly means them harm. He claims to know Gandalf, but ultimately, he’s a stranger.    But they get a letter from Gandalf. They at least know he was here. This letter, plus the revelation of Strider’s true name, Aragon, seems to put to rest any distrust of Strider. And, they’re pretty much at a loss by themselves right now, without Gandalf to lead them. So it seems like Strider or no one.   But they still don’t know where Gandalf is, or what he’s up to.   The way they shot the sleeping scene is clever. We get shots of Frodo and Sam sleeping, cut with the Riders in the room the hobbits were supposed to occupy. And then we see the pillows.   So they set off toward Rivendell. And we learn that the ring wraiths were once the kings of men, who were given the 9 rings. But those rings are ruled by the one ring, so they were corrupted by it.   And that’s when we get the famous second breakfast scene, which is just delightful. It’s funny, but also revealing of character. I know this scene has spawned a billion memes on the internet, but let’s just appreciate  the scene in it’s original form.  It’s great.   We pass through my next two walking milestones, midgewater marshes west, and midgewater marshes east. There’s not a lot to talk about here. Plenty of complaining about bugs. I don’t blame them. I’d probably be complaining about the bugs as well.   Souron orders Saruman to build him an army. This is where we see them clearing the forest and constructing a factory deep in the earth, while Gandalf is trapped on top of the tower.   The factory senes are great. We get to appreciate the visuals as the camera swooops around, being the eyes of the butterfly. They’re making weapons, but they’re also making soldiers. The scene where the Uruk Hai is born out of the mud looks amazing. Very creepy, and very alien.   As they walk toward weathertop, Frodo tightens his belt. He notes there is less of him. Welll, it’s working for Frodo. Will it work for me? It hasn’t yet. But we’re not at Weathertop. This milestone represents 386.23 Kilometres. That’s a lot of walking. The difference is, Frodo has done it over the course of a couple of days I’ve been doing this for months. I’ve definitely been going out to walk a lot less during the COVID-19 lockdown. We ARE allowed to leave the house to exercise, but honestly, I’ve just been really busy. I need to step this up a bit and try to get in more steps per day.   Strider tells them the story of Beren and Lúthien. And it’s very briefly mentioned in the movie. They were, of course, a human and an elf that fell in love. It’s quite fitting that Strider tells this story, given his relationship with Arwen, as we’ll see later. As I understand it, the story of Beren and Luthien is told in more detail in The Silmarillion, which I should read some time. But there’s some cool tidbits I hadn’t noticed before, here. Strider talks of The Great Enemy, of whom Souron was but a servant. Now That’s interesting. And we learn they stole a jewel from the the enemy’s crown - a silmaril. So that’s where the Silmarillion gets its name. A Silmaril is a type of jewel. All very interesting, the stuff Tolkien just drops in here casually.   The same carelessness from Pippin and the others, that we saw in the pub , also leads the nazgul to the fortress where they sleep. Their fry-up does sound good, but they’re trying to go under the radar.   So Frodo gets stabbed.   The flight to Rivendell after the stabbing is much more dramatic in the movie. It heightens the severity of Frodo’s condition. In the book, he’s awake and chatting with the others. I just don’t get the same sense of how much danger he really is in.   So we pass through the Trollshaws and encounter Mr. Bilbo’s Trolls. These are my next two milestones. Finding the stone remains of Bilbo’s trolls is a nice little nod to the previous book.  It does make sense they’d stumble upon them, because they’re following the same path to Rivendell that the party did back in The Hobbit. And this scene briefly appears in the extended cut of the movie.   Then they meet Glorfindel at 632 km. And he helps them get Frodo to Rivendell quicker, so he can receive medical attention from the elves. Of course, in the movie, it’s Arwen. I can see why they did that. First of all, it saved them casting another character for a relatively minor role, but it also allowed them to introduce Arwen’s character a little earlier and establish her relationship with Aragorn.   They reach the Ford of Bruinen, my next milestone, with the ring wraiths hot on their tail. Glorfindel / Arwen uses magic to call the rushing water to sweep the wraiths away. I love how this is visualised in the movie, galloping horses makde out of water. It looks great, and adds to the magical aspect of it.   And so that brings us to Rivendell. 737 km into my walk. That’s quite a distance. This is also the end of book 1. No, not the physical book, Fellow of The Ring. This is Tolkien’s original division of the story into six books. The publisher, of course, chose to publish the story in three volumns, each containing two books.   So next time, we’ll see the formation of the fellowship, and we’ll truly set out, on our journey to Mordor. I’d better get out there and do some more walking.

Newspaper man Tom Shattuck joins us to debate the Atlanta shooting. Is Tom right that police should have known that the victim was not a risk because he had taken a taser that had already been fired, or is Todd right that police need leeway to protect themselves and the public safe and can't be held to a standard of perfection?

Tom Higgenson of Plain White Ts joined me for a long overdue catchup. And for this episode, we went for burritos at Los Burritos #2 in his old stomping grounds of Villa Park. We talked at length about the band's excellent new release, "Parallel Universe," as well as: Villa Park is like primordial soup. How important are the ties back to Chicago as the band continues to take over the world? "I'm such a suburban kid... always have been." "Parallel Universe," and the experimentation the band did with the songs for the album. Is Tom a "romantic" at heart? ("I used to be 'all in'... ") Tom snuck a peak at the interview notes, and was given an unfair advantage. The hints of darkness that weave their way through PWTs music. My favorite song on the new album: "Top of the World" "Bonnie I Want You": It's not about a hooker (much to my surprise). The band's commitment to video-making (and their incredible success with it). The video for "1, 2, 3, 4" and its coming-together of romantic spirit, Chicago scenery and DIY approach. The much-rumored TV show based on the Grammy-nominated super huge megahit "Hey There Delilah" ("We've got this story arc... we've got this idea"). The whirlwind that engulfed the band when "Hey There Delilah" took off. The band's performance on "iCarly" and the relative awesomeness of that show compared to other tween shows on Nick and Disney. The band's early days in the suburbs: Truly the "good old days." Tom's nomination for a Tony Award ("BFF" from Spongebob Squarepants: The Broadway Musical). The evolution of Plain White Ts: "It's been a weird one."

Around two thirds of fibres produced globally are synthetic material - many used in our clothing. It's emerged that plastic microfibres are being shed when we wear and wash these items - which ironically include fleeces and kit worn by 'outdoorsy types' like Tom Heap. With microplastics in the marine environment now high on the agenda, Tom hears how these tiny invisible strands can be a major contributor to the scale of plastics in the oceans. They also pollute land and freshwater and are being consumed by creatures in our rivers as well as the seas. Tom takes his 'blue fleece of doom' to the experts - Professor Richard Thompson has been leading research on marine plastics for many years. He and Imogen Napper at the University of Plymouth have offered to wash his fleece to show how much it's shedding, where the fibres go and to discuss how much of a threat they might be to animals and humans. Is Tom to purge the plastics and pursue a life of naturism...or natural fibres only? Sophie Mather from Biov8tion hopes not. She says plastics have 'many beautiful benefits' and it's just a case of developing 'good' synthetic yarns. After being frustrated by the pace of microfibre research she crowdfunded to commission research form the University of Leeds to assess which factors affect breakage. Her years in textile innovation for some of the world's largest brands makes her believe fabrics can be designed to shed less and she is sharing the research with industry. Can she help save the synthetics and the fish? Presented by Tom Heap Produced by Anne-Marie Bullock.

Tom DeLonge has compiled a team of former top-level intelligence professionals and government employees. They have stated that UFOs are real and are not ours. They have told us that hundreds of declassified documents and video will soon be released. What does it all mean??? Tom DeLonge has created the To The Stars Academy - a public company with a goal of changing the world through the release of information and technology related to UFOs. On Tom's recent announcement, he introduced his team which consisted of several former members of the US intelligence community and Lockheed Martin. During their presentation, Luis Elizonodo, a career counterintelligence agent and former advisor to the Secretary of State, confirmed that "UFOs are real and they aren't ours." The Release of UFO Information During DeLonge's presentation, Former Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense Chris Mellon, a member of TTS Academy, discussed the 2004 UFO incident involving the USS Nimitz. Mellon explained that a craft was sighted and tracked on radar and approached by F-18s. Mellon described the maneuvers of this craft and stated that this was a real UFO and it wasn't ours. He then challenged the press and Congress to investigate this incident in an effort to push disclosure. Unanswered Questions To the Stars Academy has made some incredible promises - promises that could completely change the world. Tom DeLonge has repeatedly stated that he has been shown insider information and plans to release it at an undisclosed point in time. On a recent Facebook post, DeLonge stated "I quietly laugh to my partners at how little people know of what's coming." Is Tom trying to gain more investors, or is he really sitting on information that could change the world? If so, why hasn't he released it yet? Why isn't the government trying to put a stop to this operation? Why aren't these former intelligence insiders being labeled whistle blowers or thrown in jail? In this week's episode of The Seiker Podcast, Dennis explores these questions and several others as he tries to understand the significance of this and future announcements.

Tom is a longstanding NARPM member and instructor teaching cash flow analysis. I was lucky enough to have the opportunity to take his class, and found it incredibly valuable. If you want to experience his knowledge firsthand too, don’t miss out on his upcoming speech in Orlando at the NARPM National Convention! In this episode, we’ll mostly talk about a separate business model that you may want to consider for your management company: HOA management. As Tom explains, he and his wife manage 20 HOA associations with a total of over 1,000 HOA doors. These are spread across two areas: the Twin Cities and Kansas City. (And yes, Tom will also touch on how he handles running a company in two locations.) Throughout our conversation, we explore the details of HOA management. We’ll talk, for example, about how it’s different from standard property management, how Tom got started in working with HOAs, and what the process is for winning HOA clients. Tom also offers fantastic insight into the details of running this part of his company with recommendations about software, checklists, and much more.   Here’s where you can find Tom: 33rd Company @33rdCompany on Twitter 33rd Company on YouTube @33rdCompanyMN on Facebook Tom Sedlack on LinkedIn   Show Notes [02:37] - Tom starts things off by introducing himself, talking about his background, and explaining how he and his wife got into property management.

Tom and Josh watch Dudley Do Right this week and face the toughest crucible of questions yet. Is Tom really the wild man to Joshes Sensible Sally? Does Brendan have more chemistry with a motorbike than his love interest? Currency? Another game of Brewareness this week puts Tom back on the offensive... with predictable results. Help us #BringBackBrendan! Leave some feedback and a rating on Itunes. This means more people will hear the 'cast - but more importantly increases the chances someone will at least read the description and think about the main man, Brendan Fraser.
