Transcript
[00:00:10] Sherry: remember the first time I saw the Big Lebowski because I didn't like it.
[:[00:00:18] James: I think I've heard that a lot of people didn't really get it the first time.
[:[00:00:28] Chris: Yeah. Latent is watch it again. Like he's [00:00:30] in that category right now. And it like, it pains my, my heart and my soul that he's like, nah, I'm good. I don't want to watch it again.
[:[00:00:48] Sherry: yeah. Cause once she.
[:[00:00:56] James: good, this movie doesn't make sense. Like I didn't know what this [00:01:00] movie was about.
[:[00:01:01] James: I didn't figured it out.
[:[00:01:15] Phil: Anyway, we'll get into that when we get into the beats. Um, yeah. Oh, so, uh, one thing I wanted to say before I forgot. Uh, Obviously festivals have grown up around this, you can get ordained in the church of the dude, you can be a dudist [00:01:30]
[:[00:01:34] James: I did it about, uh, 16 years ago, 17 years ago.
[:[00:01:45] Phil: no, I think it
[:[00:01:47] James: No, you pretty much, uh, I think as long as you're in good standing with the church and Texas, at least they can marry people.
[:[00:02:03] Phil: Is that something that appeals to you, Phil? Uh, I, I'd actually have to go out and do the weddings then. And that does not appeal to me. So I'm aware of that.
[:[00:02:12] James: conflicts with his obligations.
[:[00:02:16] Chris: you've
[:[00:02:17] Chris: before. Are you still ordained to do that? Does that expire? How does that work? I have to go on a tangent, but I'll just.
[:[00:02:39] Phil: So, uh, I'm still in good standing, but I'm no longer like, um, what they call a member of presbytery or whatever. So I would have to
[:[00:02:50] Phil: don't have a church or anything like that. So I would have to find a church, get into a presbytery, you know, locally to sort of reinstate all that.
[:[00:02:59] James: [00:03:00] hard. Yeah, yeah. Uh, the
[:[00:03:02] James: is They got a lot of rules. Yeah, a lot of rules, man. Welcome to the dudist. Yeah. We don't have many rules.
[:[00:03:09] Chris: But in order to get married and it to be legit, right, if you're doing it, I guess outside of the, with the justice of the peace, like if somebody ordains over your marriage, they have to be certified to do that, correct?
[:[00:03:24] James: you know, the government has said, okay, you can get married once you apply for the license. That's [00:03:30] it. Yeah. So the, all the rest of it's just, I think have whoever you want. Yeah. Ceremony. Ceremony. Okay. All right. As long as the paperwork's filed, they, and they get their money.
[:[00:03:39] Sherry: And some places, if you live together long enough, you're
[:[00:03:49] Chris: Somebody. Yeah. I thought they had to be like certified to do that. I didn't think you could have anybody up there just saying some shit.
[:[00:04:02] Phil: Yeah. Okay.
[:[00:04:12] Phil: culture that is surrounded this movie between the festivals, the dudism. Books have been written. I myself have read a couple of books. Uh, I'm a Lebowski. You're a Lebowski is one of them. There's all kinds of books written about.
[:[00:04:29] James: [00:04:30] you and me. We're
[:[00:04:35] Sherry: the name of that book is really I'm a Lebowski. You're a little bit. Yeah, big Lebowski
[:[00:04:40] Sherry: should say yes Yes, somewhere.
[:[00:04:44] James: Bunny's
