Speaker 1 (00:00):
This is the trait lure for the next Star Wars movie.
Chairs My and I Kona don't want none unless you've
got rud hunt and the bad advice James gunn got
sounds pretty cool to me. All that and more coming
up this week on news Dump.

Speaker 2 (00:19):
Are you blindly saying that or have you gone through
the rundown of this news dump?

Speaker 1 (00:24):
I am loosely aware of what we're about to talk
about on Newsdump.

Speaker 2 (00:27):
Well, before we get to that, Mac happy Batman Day.
I think it was over the weekend.

Speaker 1 (00:31):
Yeah, two days ago, having Batman Day to go one
of the two or three biggest Batman fans. I know.
How did you celebrate.

Speaker 2 (00:40):
By forgetting that it was Batman Day?

Speaker 1 (00:43):
As as most adult men do, they forget everything.

Speaker 2 (00:47):
We well remember is Hobbit Day?

Speaker 1 (00:49):
Days? What's today?

Speaker 2 (00:51):
It's Hobbit Day?

Speaker 1 (00:53):
Hobbit Day? Okay, all right, yeah, I've I've celebrated by
covering the roof of my home in grass.

Speaker 2 (01:00):
I think I celebrated Batman Day for its eightieth and
it's eighty fifth, and so like when it's it's ninetieth,
I'm back one hundredth.

Speaker 1 (01:08):
When does it become a part When can we use it.

Speaker 2 (01:10):
What's that word called public domain?

Speaker 1 (01:12):
When does it become public domain?

Speaker 2 (01:14):
I want to say nineteen. I'm sorry, twenty thirty one,
twenty thirty two.

Speaker 1 (01:18):
We'll get to write in a script.

Speaker 2 (01:20):
Yeah. Also, I think they did a re release of
the first issue of Batman last week at comic book
shops with the same like newspapery like paper.

Speaker 1 (01:31):
Oh how about that.

Speaker 2 (01:32):
One of my coworkers had it in his stack.

Speaker 1 (01:34):
That's nice. Yeah, you keep a stack at your desk
at work.

Speaker 2 (01:37):
One of my coworkers does. He goes to the comic
shop on Wednesday. I think that's New Comic Day, isn't
it Ida whatever it is. He has his stack of comics.
I go through. I'm like, hey, let me check those out.
I always go through a stack.

Speaker 1 (01:47):
Well, you should also have a stack.

Speaker 2 (01:49):
I have to buy a stack. I had to buy
a physical stack of comics.

Speaker 1 (01:53):
You should have a Criterion collection stack at your desk.

Speaker 2 (01:56):
I have like three Batman comics at my house, and
I have like Sevenja Turtles.

Speaker 1 (02:01):
That's tens and even number.

Speaker 2 (02:02):
But then I'm gonna have that same stack and it's
all hardcover. It's really heavy.

Speaker 1 (02:07):
Well, they just sit at your desk. No one should touch.

Speaker 2 (02:09):
Them, I know, and I can you know way down
paper with them too.

Speaker 1 (02:12):
Good point, So news do it.

Speaker 2 (02:16):
Back one of the topics on our last episode of
whatever this show is. First, I want to apologize to
all of the listeners out there. Sure we're slipping, there's
something going on with us. You brought up that we
are in a bit of a Pamela Anderson renaissance. Yes,
and you stumbled, fumbled, bumbled around a bunch of words

(02:41):
and couldn't figure out what we're in.

Speaker 1 (02:43):
I couldn't get from A to B.

Speaker 2 (02:44):
And then I, with confidence, gave you an answer. Bad answer,
bad answer. It was in front of our face the
entire time. A listener pointed it out to us, and
I'm embarrassed. I might delete last episode. Pamela undersos andsance.
It's so good, it's so easy. Yeah, Like, what's happening
to us? What's happened to us?

Speaker 1 (03:06):
You know? Sometimes I would say, at our best, we
only operated at about eighty percent. At our worst, we're
at like thirteen percent.

Speaker 2 (03:13):
You know, at the end of last episode, we forgot
to grade the episode again. Yeah, And after listening to it,
I was like, shit, I would have given this one
a B. I thought we had a Panera bread sandwich.
Great open, great end, little suspect in the middle.

Speaker 1 (03:28):
Well, it depends what sandwich you get.

Speaker 2 (03:29):
Bacon, turkey, Bravo.

Speaker 1 (03:30):
I mean a BTV is nice, but they're Chipotle chicken
Panini's pretty good. It's pretty good and that.

Speaker 2 (03:37):
But what's the highlight of the Panera sandwich. It's the bread.

Speaker 1 (03:40):
Yeah, so specifically they bread. The bread they use in
the Chipotle chicken panini is it's.

Speaker 2 (03:45):
Like that's black pepper their sandwiches, so dope. It's all
of their sandwiches though, the meat that's their company.

Speaker 1 (03:51):
It's it's not Panera chicken. You know, it's not Panera
turkey Bravo, it's Panera.

Speaker 2 (03:58):
Bread, right, So the breads all dyna. That's what our
episode was. I like the open, I really like the end.
The middle was okay. But now knowing that we whift
swing and a miss three strikes on the Pamela andersance,
I'm embarrassed.

Speaker 1 (04:15):
Yeah, I echo your sentiment.

Speaker 2 (04:17):
Also, one of the topics in that episode, we did
a tearing of things that Goo does that makes him old.
I have had just it's been a calamity of a
day So I've been recovering from drinking on Saturday for
roughly a day and a half.

Speaker 1 (04:34):
Two days understood.

Speaker 2 (04:35):
While at the gym today, while lifting, I got stuck
in the Smith machine under the bar on my chest.
Couldn't move it.

Speaker 1 (04:46):
Well, I stay with the Smith machine. You can't just
dump the weights. You're locked in.

Speaker 2 (04:50):
I'm locked in, and I don't believe in putting up
like those safety guards because usually it stops you from
getting max effort off your chest. So I'm sitting there
like beetlejuice going money. Anyone over there, let me out
of here. Hey, the only.

Speaker 1 (05:05):
Advice I'd give you, as a thirty six year old
man approaching just to have a child, you was a
thirty six year old man that does have child and wife.
Maybe we don't try for max wait.

Speaker 2 (05:17):
I need to max out. It's literally all I have
in my life. My father asked me yesterday. My father
asked me a lot of very intrusive questions, and he
said to me, how do you feel not playing sports anymore?
I'm like, I mean, I'm thirty six. I treat the
gym like my sport. I challenge myself at the gym. Okay,
and if I can't do that. I lose my competitive nature.

Speaker 1 (05:38):
I think a lot of people do that. You know
what I'm considering getting into and I don't want to go.
I don't want to.

Speaker 2 (05:43):
All years right now, I'm so excited about competitive Yeah.

Speaker 1 (05:45):
I think I want to play pickleball. I think I
want to be a pickleball.

Speaker 2 (05:48):
All right, that's not as exciting as I was hoping.

Speaker 1 (05:51):
What do you think I was going to get into.

Speaker 2 (05:52):
I don't know, Like, what's that board game where you
move the marbles Mancala? Yeah, Mancala, like a competitive Moncala
player or something.

Speaker 1 (06:03):
Yeah, well, I won't get hurt doing that. I don't think.
Maybe I get I could get some Uh what's the
thing where your hand gets like Arthuratis.

Speaker 2 (06:10):
Also last night I put up a Halloween decoration. It
is a skeleton with a big pumpkin head roughly five
foot five six feet tall, playing a guitar on my
front lawn. And whenever I walked by that, some bitch
I think there's someone on my lawn and it scares me.

Speaker 1 (06:29):
It is astac spooky season. It is officially faul good.

Speaker 2 (06:32):
Final thing here goof feeling old is I was on
a team's call earlier where everyone it's like a big
phone call at work, and you know, you just listen
in on everyone talking. And while I was on it,
I turned my camera on and it was that's what
I was saying, thank you, And my camera was just
facing up at me, driving like an old man not

(06:53):
knowing how to use technology. And the angle that it
showed was my beautiful white beard.

Speaker 1 (07:00):
So suck great.

Speaker 2 (07:01):
Now everyone around the office just thinks I'm fucking old.
How did this happen?

Speaker 1 (07:06):
Especially after dying under the Smith's machine too?

Speaker 2 (07:08):
That's I mean, I haven't told anyone about that yet,
not until they listen to this episode.

Speaker 1 (07:13):
All seven of our listeners are going to tell everyone
they know, and then fourteen people will.

Speaker 2 (07:17):
Know everyone pray for Mojo. He's dupe. Speaking of Mojo
over at the box office. This past weekend, Mac Him, Yeah.

Speaker 1 (07:27):
Him, The Uh jud and Peele produced not directed was
number one of the box office with thirteen and a
half million. Pretty disappointing money wise, pretty disappointing score, but.

Speaker 2 (07:38):
Higher than predicted though, So was it with the prediction? Yeah,
I was looking at the predictions last week and they're like,
this might crack the top three, and it had it
behind like multi week movies, so.

Speaker 1 (07:48):
It's okay, all right? Yeah, last I saw on roddy
tz from the critics was in the thirties, so I
don't think this is gonna do all that well in
multiple weeks. But number one this week at number two,
the Conjuring Last Writes now up over one hundred and
fifty million dollars world, Why do I think already the
highest grossing conjuring movie. I don't know why people are
still going to see these. It makes no sense to me.

(08:08):
What are you gonna do? Last week's number one Goo
Demon Slayer, Kametsu no Yalba the movie Infinity Castle coming
at number three with eleven point eight million. So these
top three are all pretty close to each other. Uh,
not related, but kind of because of the Demon Slayer movie.
I started K pop Demon Slayers the other night. Demon Hunter, Yeah,
whatever the fuck it's called. I got to the first

(08:29):
or second song pretty good. I think I'm gonna finish it.
I think I'm man.

Speaker 2 (08:32):
I'll tell you what. I rewatched it again yesterday for
like the third time, because my son popped it on.
We were in Maine, A bunch of family were there
all the kids.

Speaker 1 (08:40):
I was in Maine.

Speaker 2 (08:40):
We were in different parts of Maine.

Speaker 1 (08:42):
Where were you?

Speaker 2 (08:42):
We weren't there together? Well sure, yeah, so either way,
kids surrounding the TV, they're all into it. Adults that
had not seen the movie yet pulled right in, sitting
on the couch, following right along Golden. Is that the
song Golden? That's the main song?

Speaker 1 (08:56):
Yeah, that's I made it to that song. Pretty good? Yeah,
pretty good. So I think I'm to finish it and
then then I could put it on my on my
list of movies I've watched this year. About that, that's
pretty exciting. Mac Coming at number four. Dompton Abbey The
Grand Finale. We have no nice things to say about that,
so we'll move along.

Speaker 2 (09:13):
Oh is it Grand? Or is it gone Finale?

Speaker 1 (09:18):
Coming at number five, The Long Walk. Is that the
movie where they're making people walk on treadmills to watch it?

Speaker 2 (09:23):
Is it that? Or it's like it's telling you to
do it off a short bridge or the or a plank,
you know, walk the plank like a pirate.

Speaker 1 (09:32):
That made more sense. Coming at number six, Open the Weekend.

Speaker 2 (09:36):
Go to social media right now, tell us which one
you guys like more Minor Max come.

Speaker 1 (09:41):
At number six, something called The Senior or The Senior,
you can decide, coming at number seven. Also opening a big, bold,
beautiful Journey. That movie is the one with Robbie and Penguin, Yes,
and Colin Farrell. I've seen actually pretty good reviews on that.
I don't I'm not gonna see that in theaters, but
I am looking forward to that. Goo Weapons still making

(10:02):
money all the way down at number nine. We'll talk
about that at some point in the next week or two.
I still have to see it. I'm intrigued by it.

Speaker 2 (10:09):
I'm intrigued by coming out this week, I believe is
the Leo DiCaprio. I can't think of what the title
is because it's a lot of what like six percent
on Roddy and also like ninety six words in the
title just.

Speaker 1 (10:20):
Paul Thomas Anderson Ruld DiCaprio Joint. I don't know how
much money it's gonna make, though it's still Paul Thomas
Anderson movie.

Speaker 2 (10:26):
Everyone's going bananas over it though.

Speaker 1 (10:28):
It might it probably will be number one, but I
think we might. It might be number one, making like
eighteen million dollars.

Speaker 2 (10:33):
I'm excited about it, though, Okay, fair enough, here's demp.
Thank the Lord we got this trailer for today, because
this news dump is thin.

Speaker 1 (10:44):
The Macdalorean in Grogu, that's really we are here.

Speaker 2 (10:48):
Hell yeah, Mac, can you give us the synopsis that
Star Wars has given to us for this movie?

Speaker 1 (10:54):
Yes, Theugh stumbled over the word. Out of the gate.
There the evil m has fallen, and imperial warlords remain
scattered throughout the galaxy as the fledgling New Republic works
to protect everything the Rebellion thought for. They have enlisted
the help of legendary Mandalorian bounty hunter Din Jarn and
his young apprentice Grogu. Now, rapid reaction goo following this trailer,

(11:19):
and something I was concerned about leading up to this movie,
and I think the trailer kind of confirms this. Who
are we doing this against? Who are we rooting against?
Is this just gonna be like a nice, fun, lighthearted
adventure with no consequence.

Speaker 2 (11:33):
This looks awesome, It looks fun, It looks bright consequences.
There's creatures. There is like fifty Babu fricks. So Gordoney
Weaver's there. I assume that she is there to set
up She's gonna be the one that hires them, and
then she's probably the bad guy at the end double cross.

Speaker 1 (11:49):
No, it's a crossover staration gonna connect to the alien universe.

Speaker 2 (11:54):
That eighty eighty That scene looks awesome. That's some good action.
Also very excited about this the movie poster. I love it.
It is straight old Western like paint looking style. The
font on it is beautiful. That got me so excited,
and then the trailer just piled on it. Yes, you

(12:16):
can say, is Grogu doing too many cutesy things? Sure,
but he's also swimming. He's also having a nice shot,
and Babu Frick is complimenting him. I love There's so
many creatures in here. There's so many animal noises, and
you can say, like maybe Dave Filoni has his hands
in this one more than other things because of all
these creatures.

Speaker 1 (12:35):
I'm for that we see zeb from Rebels who we
saw in the last season of The Mandalorian and in
there doing some cool stuff. My hopes are this is
more in the lane of Rebels and Ahsoka style stuff. Unfortunately,
I think it's gonna be very much like the show
and go. The lows of the show are bad.

Speaker 2 (12:54):
One long, fun episode.

Speaker 1 (12:58):
If this mimixed the show, it might be sixty percent
good forty percent bad. And that's not a good movie. Goo,
that's not a good movie.

Speaker 2 (13:06):
What I want one hundred minute fun episode.

Speaker 1 (13:10):
Yeah, it's gonna be two and a half hours.

Speaker 2 (13:12):
Oh, two and a half hours. Wait is that an
official runtime? You fucking made that up. I said, been
one hundred minutes.

Speaker 1 (13:16):
I'm guessing two and a half hours with an hour
of nonsense.

Speaker 2 (13:20):
I will take. I'll take one hundred minutes. I want
one hundred minutes.

Speaker 1 (13:23):
It's not going to be you know that. You saw
those space racing a season of television.

Speaker 2 (13:27):
You see those space ships.

Speaker 1 (13:29):
They are replacing a season of television with this. It's
going to be at least two hour.

Speaker 2 (13:32):
No, they're saying to themselves, we could be more profitable
putting these characters in the theaters. We've already milked the Disney
plus money as much as we can.

Speaker 1 (13:40):
I want more lightsabersus.

Speaker 2 (13:45):
They had a dark Saber in season three, and that
season kind of stunk.

Speaker 1 (13:49):
You know what, The whole show kind of stunks.

Speaker 2 (13:50):
No, get out of my face, Oh my god, what
a bad take. You stink.

Speaker 1 (13:55):
The Highs are great, but you know what the highs
are Luke Skywalker and Jey.

Speaker 2 (14:00):
Oh no, no no. Some of the Grogu stuff is great,
the stuff with Ig eleven in the first season, just
going on side missions. I'm not saying like you know,
shrimping' or like frog Ladies stuff, but there's a bunch
of fun in that show.

Speaker 1 (14:14):
I don't know if there's gonna be much substance to
this gup, but if they connect to other things, that'll
probably be worth watching.

Speaker 2 (14:20):
I'm so disappointed in you right now.

Speaker 1 (14:22):
I'm so disappointed in Star Wars.

Speaker 2 (14:24):
Like you're coming off, not to get too far behind
the scenes, you're coming off back to back Fantasy Baseball
champions championships. Humble, You're the back to back. You're the
championship in sheep, and you would think I'm a sheep
for following you. But you would think that, like you'd
come in a little more optimistic. You got a trailer
for a cool movie, and.

Speaker 1 (14:41):
You're like, now that I'm a back to back Fantasy
Baseball champion. Credit to Goo for making it interesting, even
though you only had half a roster.

Speaker 2 (14:49):
My team got hurt, very hurt. It's crazy.

Speaker 1 (14:53):
The road coature of emotions that we both went through
this week were unbelievable. You started out so hot and
I was grasping for straws, and all of a sudden,
Kyle Hendricks throws seven shut out of nings against you
Saturday night and the tides have turned.

Speaker 2 (15:05):
Have you started your handwritten letter to him? He deserves it.
You honestly should write him a handwritten letter.

Speaker 1 (15:12):
He helped. He helped, that is for sure.

Speaker 2 (15:14):
It's a turning point. I gave up after that.

Speaker 1 (15:16):
You were dejected on Sunday, and you still had a
very reasonable chance. I think once Corby Carrol hit that
home run, that was the nail in your coffee.

Speaker 2 (15:25):
I didn't follow on Sunday, so I wouldn't know.

Speaker 1 (15:27):
Good enough news.

Speaker 2 (15:28):
Damp more trailers. We got a trailer for Tim Robinson's
HBO show Chair Company. This is coming out on October twelfth,
twenty twenty five. And if you're wondering, is it going
to be different than I think you should leave the
Detroiters and friendship. Now we're getting more of the same
and I'm here for it.

Speaker 1 (15:47):
Yeah, Like once a year, I just need something in
this style where Tim Robinson is playing the most ridiculous
character in a semi real world, a quasi real world
where he is operating differently. I need it. I need it.

Speaker 2 (16:02):
I mean, what I need in this movie is going
to work. So the trailer shows that he is trying
to uncover a conspiracy.

Speaker 1 (16:07):
Theory, a deep conspiracy.

Speaker 2 (16:09):
What I need to happen is that nothing is actually
happening and it's all in his head.

Speaker 1 (16:14):
Yes, and that'll work. Yeah, it'll be perfect.

Speaker 2 (16:16):
Yeah, this stuff is made for him.

Speaker 1 (16:18):
It's it's the same team that worked on I think
you should leave. You have Zach Canan writing as well,
like this has. This should be awesome. It should be great.

Speaker 2 (16:27):
And I know Akiva Shaffer said that as soon as
they wrap up with this season, they're gonna get started
on season four. I think you should leave.

Speaker 1 (16:34):
So love that. Love that. Gross news Da.

Speaker 2 (16:37):
I've got a trailer for a movie that we talked
about briefly last news Dump because we've got the stills
and it's Ana Konda. This movie stars Jack Black, Paul
Rudd and has the feeling of a tropic thundery, but
I think more of a be kind rewind.

Speaker 1 (16:54):
Also, we should mention that the director of this movie
was the director of The Unbearable weight of mass Talent
starring Nicolas Cage and Pedro Pascal, which was also operating
in this sort of ridiculous arena. And so I think
if anyone's capable of pulling this off, it's Jack Black,
Paul Rudd, and this director whose name escapes me. I

(17:15):
am oddly optimistic about this movie. This movie should be
pretty good.

Speaker 2 (17:19):
I will say that after seeing this trailer and then
thinking back to Death of a Unicorn and then back
to Cocaine Bear, I think heading into Cocaine Bear, I
was championing B movie creature features. I might be all
set with them.

Speaker 1 (17:37):
Okay, that's fair. I think it's a fair stance to
take go the director of this movie and of the
unbeirable weight of massive talent. Tom gormikin Tom Gormikan.

Speaker 2 (17:47):
Speaking of Tropic Thunder, And you should tell me after
I tell this story if I should cut it out
of the podcast. But I was listening to a podcast earlier,
the Weekly Planet, and they were talking about the trailer
for this movie. One of them men in Tropic Thunder,
and then the other one mentioned the blackface in said movie.
Now that was in my headphone, in my ear on

(18:08):
my way home. I was looking at reels, and out
of nowhere, I started getting reels for blackface.

Speaker 1 (18:16):
I like to entertain conspiracies. I don't really believe in conspiracies.
I like being educated on conspiracies. I guess from yeah,
exactly multiple. I would say, like three times a month,
I'm talking about something at length somewhere. My phone's obviously
right next to me, and that day I'll get an

(18:38):
AD or target, an AD or something like that pertaining
to the thing I was talking about that I've never
gotten an advertisement before, or maybe I had and I
didn't register it, so that's possibility too. And at when
that happens, I'm like, I don't really need a phone.
I do, but I'm like, I don't really need a phone.
I don't want to phone.

Speaker 2 (18:58):
If someone like has to use my phone and the
and me be like, this guy has some real fucking issues.
What's happening here? Why is this a suggested real.

Speaker 1 (19:07):
There is something to be said. And I think it's
more about what we're googling than what we're talking about,
because inevitably you google stuff you talk about. But I
don't like that. I don't like Google selling off our information.

Speaker 2 (19:18):
If Instagram just wants to kind of like restart my algorithm.
That'd be great.

Speaker 1 (19:21):
I'd like a fresh start. That's you know what every
company should offer us, a fresh start. I want to
start from square one. Now.

Speaker 2 (19:28):
You know what I think. Once a week you should
get to pop up on your phone. Do you want
a fresh start?

Speaker 1 (19:33):
It's like the other guys.

Speaker 2 (19:34):
You think fresh start, and like maybe you fresh start.
You get it offered every week, but you only get
one fresh Start a month, and you have to use
it wisely.

Speaker 1 (19:42):
It's won a year. One a year, Yeah, give me
one a year.

Speaker 2 (19:46):
Oh, you are playing with fire.

Speaker 1 (19:47):
Well, sometimes I like to be reminded about what I
was googling a couple months ago.

Speaker 2 (19:50):
You know you are playing with fire. News dope. We
also got not a trailer, but we got news that
Sinners is reportedly returning to Imax theaters for Halloween.

Speaker 1 (20:03):
Sinners is on a shortlist of best movies of the year.
It's not good enough for me to then go see
it in seventy millimeters, So that's where I'll drive the line.

Speaker 2 (20:12):
News did but our first three hosts for season fifty
one of SNL, Bad Bunny, Doja Cat for the premier
Then you have Amy Poehler in week two and Sabrina
Carpenter pulling double duty in week three.

Speaker 1 (20:25):
These should all be very good. Bad Bunny is very
talented in many things. Obviously, Amy Pohler is one of
the best cast members they've ever had, and Sabrina Carpenter's
sort of proven that she can do both already, so
that should be three good episodes.

Speaker 2 (20:37):
Yeah, she tweeted something or posted something about like it
being her first time doing it. I would argue that
she was the host of the fiftieth anniversary special. She
was in it the most out of everyone that wasn't
from the cast. It's true news dope. Tom Holland was
speaking about Peter Parker's new suit being inspired by Toby
maguire and Andrew Garfield suits in his Brand New Day movie, which,

(20:58):
by the way, they are on a small hiatus for
it because Holland got a concussion.

Speaker 1 (21:03):
I have opinions on Spider Man's suits in which look
better than others. I don't really care, though, I'm not
passionate about what suit they're going to use. Just don't
use that bullshit one they used in when he was
in Europe. There when he was dressed in all.

Speaker 2 (21:18):
Black, right, But now he's saying, is he's already met
these other two Spider Man people in the other movie
that like, you know, he likes the idea that he's
trying to, you know, pay homage to his big brothers
and that he looks up to them. So he takes
little details from his suits that you know, he thinks,
kurk cool. That's nice.

Speaker 1 (21:35):
I get that. I understand it makes sense.

Speaker 2 (21:37):
I hope it's okay. I think he's in protocol right now.

Speaker 1 (21:40):
You know what, we grew up in the age where
they weren't really diagnosing concussions, so there was no protocols.
First of all, we didn't get diagnosed, and then there
was no protocol to get back. You would just tell
your coach you could play, and they're like, okay, great.

Speaker 2 (21:52):
How many have you been diagnosed with?

Speaker 1 (21:54):
Zero?

Speaker 2 (21:55):
Really?

Speaker 1 (21:55):
But I very clearly I took a year off from
sports because I had such so many ahead. I literally
didn't play sports in eighth grade because I had like
a six month long headache.

Speaker 2 (22:05):
We were in a Cape Cod hockey tournament. I believe
it was you that when you were hit your helmet exploded.

Speaker 1 (22:12):
I had JOVA across my head and my muff piece
went about twenty feet away, and it took me a
solid fifteen seconds to get back up on my feet.
I've never been hit so hard in my life.

Speaker 2 (22:21):
Sure, buddy, pass you got it?

Speaker 1 (22:23):
Well, yeah, you got right up. Yeah. He led me,
you know, didn't lead me up the boards, led me
up to the center of the ice and the defenseman
it was the best hit he's ever laid in his
entire life. That's your short too. Yeah, I was probably
concussed there. Didn't take any shifts off. I would suspect
I've had a good eight to ten concussions in my life.
Oh my football and hockey, I legit took a year

(22:46):
off in eighth grade, didn't play hockey or football because
I was having such severe migraines that it was making
at times impossible to do anything. I went and saw
a neurologist who had me track everything I ate and
drank for two months to see if there was any triggers,
and me stopped playing sports. Six months off from sports.
Why didn't you know it cleared my migraines. I don't
know if I've had a migraine since. So what we

(23:07):
I think came to find out. This is like two
thousand or two thousand and one, mind you. I think
what we came to find out is I had a
probably a severe concussion, didn't take time off for sports,
and just kept getting subconcussive hits and prolonged my concussion.
So I don't know. I don't think I have the
best short term memory, and I think it may be

(23:27):
related to head injuries when I was a kid.

Speaker 2 (23:29):
So I might have gotten a couple. I used to
take a lot of pucks off my ear hole. I
was a goalie in hockey. I used my head a
lot to save the puck. I didn't mind it, but
I took a lot of ear hole shots. And then
I definitely had one. I was diagnosed where me and
two of my buddies we were turning double plays in
one of their basement and we were going to celebrate

(23:49):
the double play and I smashed my head off a
ceiling a ceiling pole like a divider, and I went
ass over tea kettle.

Speaker 1 (24:00):
You trying to break up the double play? It was
you celebrate no.

Speaker 2 (24:04):
Because we were doing double plays. One person would throw
the ball, you get it back in, you throw it,
you turn the double play.

Speaker 1 (24:09):
Spin in two in the basement.

Speaker 2 (24:11):
You never turned double plays in your buddy's basement.

Speaker 1 (24:13):
The way I could picture it is if you you
had four people, you got the shortstop, second basement, first basin,
and then you have the runner sliding in to try
to break it up. That sounds like a fun game.

Speaker 2 (24:24):
I want to do four friends. I was lucky to
even have the two.

Speaker 1 (24:29):
Would you have a ghost first basement?

Speaker 2 (24:31):
No, the person that rolled out the ground ball, we
just throw it back to them. You have to make
do with what you have.

Speaker 1 (24:36):
I understand, I understand you should have had You should
have had a trash barrel for the first baseman like
Tom and Manski. Those Tom and Mnski videos are the best.
You had the guys throwing a crow hopping and throwing
one hoppers to home plate trying to get into the barrel.

Speaker 2 (24:48):
You know who should have helped us out. Fred McGriff agreed.
News DEAP quick reminder that The Fantastic Four First Steps
is available tomorrow on video on demand.

Speaker 1 (25:00):
YEP, if you haven't seen it, watch it. I think
it's I don't know, fourth best movie of the year.
I think it's the best comic movie of the year.
Goo thinks it's third best. Goo. Well you also you
jumped right over, which is fine. Uh. Daniel day Lewis
is now acting in movies again. I think his kid
is producing.

Speaker 2 (25:16):
Because his kid is involved in the movie or.

Speaker 1 (25:18):
Maybe directing the movie. I don't know. She says he
never retired, which.

Speaker 2 (25:22):
Come on, all the cities retiring. He's a liar. Yeah,
he's dope. Let's head over to Max DC World. What's
happening with DC movies right now?

Speaker 1 (25:32):
Well, Goo, Matt reeves to your disdain or dismay, both
sort of work. Uh. Confirms that the Batman pot is
a DC Elseworld's project and not in fact in the DCU,
So that kills all.

Speaker 2 (25:46):
I said after Superman, I said, if they have to
do it, I can see these two you know, ying yang.
That's all I said. I wasn't like, oh my god,
I need Batman in this universe.

Speaker 1 (25:58):
They need it.

Speaker 2 (25:59):
Now go Yeah, James Gun said, what did he say?

Speaker 1 (26:03):
He revealed the terrible advice that he got when developing
Guardians of the Galaxy. He said, I was told no
one would like the soundtrack and I should change it
to Britney Spears like nineties songs. Now number one. I
would like the Britney Spears version of Guardians of the Galaxy,
but the Guardians of the Galaxy soundtrack is on the
shortlist for greatest movie soundtracks ever, so I'm glad he's

(26:24):
stuck to his guns nailed it.

Speaker 2 (26:26):
One of my favorite playlists that you can find on
Spotify is also Apple Music whatever, whatever you're getting your
playlist is just all three Guardians albums mixed up into one.

Speaker 1 (26:37):
I love awesome. Yeah, And you can usually like picture
the scene when the song comes on.

Speaker 2 (26:44):
Go wait before we get to whatever you want to
yell about. I would assume that for the Britney Spears
version of the first Guardians movie, they would just play
Lucky over and over again.

Speaker 1 (26:54):
You like, sometimes sometimes that's.

Speaker 2 (26:56):
A good song. I'm just thinking, like Lucky, he fits
into every situation.

Speaker 1 (27:00):
Yeah, Lucky's a good one, is it?

Speaker 2 (27:04):
She also, her jeans are as low as they can
be in that video.

Speaker 1 (27:09):
Let's bring low rise jeans back, can we do that?

Speaker 2 (27:12):
I think we're on the verge of this because, like
you know, fashion, it's it's circular. It's circular. Yeah, cicular, it's.

Speaker 1 (27:18):
Sick, secular, non religious, you're getting sick.

Speaker 2 (27:21):
But uh, No, like things come and go their trends.
I think we're getting close to super low ride jeans maybe.
And this is one of your favorite things, whale tails.

Speaker 1 (27:31):
Whale tels should have never went away. They should be
a mainstay in society forever.

Speaker 2 (27:36):
I would ask Mac to stand up, damp reveal his
to reveal his whale tail, but please stay seated. I
don't want any issues go yes.

Speaker 1 (27:45):
Speaking of a whale til, I'd like to see h
James Gun's wife said.

Speaker 2 (27:49):
Oh, come on, Mac, your mind out of the gutter.
What did Jennifer Holland say?

Speaker 1 (27:54):
Jennifer Hollands said, Now, meanwhile, Peacemaker sat episode five just
dropped within the last couple days. She says episode six
to eight of Peacemaker have a lot of consequences for
the dcu's future. A lot happens, a lot is revealed,
a lot of consequences, and James Gunn himself thinks it's
some of the best work he's ever done. Now, if

(28:15):
you have not watched Peacemaker episode five, there's not a
ton of spoilers in here, but the end of episode
five sort of launches us in something in a direction,
and now I'm curious. I think a lot is going
to happen in these next three episodes, and I think
I think it will set the path for the DC.

Speaker 2 (28:36):
I've seen some photos shared of Corn Sweat on the
set of the show. We also knew that going in
that he'd be on the show at some point. I
I love and granted, we've only gotten Superman five episodes
of this, and I still need to watch Creature Commandos.
I am all in on Guns Universe here.

Speaker 1 (28:56):
Creature Commandos is fun.

Speaker 2 (28:58):
We're gonna watch Creature Commandos.

Speaker 1 (28:59):
I forgot about it. You just mentioned it though. But
it is pretty good.

Speaker 2 (29:02):
Okay, it's pretty good. But man, that episode and the
little Tim Meadows line, and I'm gonna praise Tim Meadows
every chance that I get. But him just being like, hey,
that was a good job.

Speaker 1 (29:12):
Have you watched the latest episode? Yeah, yeah, I like that.
He really liked that. He got complimented when they had
him at gunpoint. They're like, oh, I got a compliment.
I see what you're doing.

Speaker 2 (29:22):
I love the show.

Speaker 1 (29:23):
It's good.

Speaker 2 (29:24):
I'm excited for Thursdays. I'm excited for Thursdays. If shows
get me excited for their release day, and I am
watching on set release day without having it be homework
for the show, which it kind of is, but also
like I'm excited for the show. I love it.

Speaker 1 (29:37):
Actually, speaking of that, which we mentioned the other day. Also,
you know HBO Max or Max. This is on that
HBO showed Task that Dork's been tweeting about. Tusk is
a great Flutid Max song.

Speaker 2 (29:50):
It's also a great Heaven Smith movie about justin long
as a Walrus. Uh.

Speaker 1 (29:58):
Task is getting good. It's getting good, It's getting interesting.
I am curious as to how high the highs are
going to be. I don't think the highs have been
super high at the moment. But the show is very interesting.

Speaker 2 (30:10):
Is dep check us out at the end of the week.
We'll figure out what we're doing. But it will be something.

Speaker 1 (30:18):
It'll be something.
