Speaker 1 (00:00):
Mac. If you've seen these, if you heard about these
called a blind ranking. It's when you rank an item
not knowing where the other item may be. So there's ten,
and you got to slot what I give you into
that top ten without knowing what I'm gonna say next.
Speaker 2 (00:19):
You're gonna give me ten. I got a list of
ten things here, yes, and I'm gonna blind rate them
one to ten, one.
Speaker 1 (00:26):
To ten, All right, sure, now, Mac, this is the
final episode of the summer. The Fall technically starts. It
depends on when you're listening. I'm gonna ask you right now.
Speaker 2 (00:36):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (00:37):
Things associated with fall.
Speaker 2 (00:40):
Things associated with Fall one through.
Speaker 1 (00:42):
Ten, one through ten. Okay, Pumpy season one. It's nippy,
I mean.
Speaker 2 (00:49):
Zach good or bad. I like it being a little nippy.
I'll say five.
Speaker 1 (00:56):
Football, two, getting lost in corn mazes. Ten, Taco Taco Fall.
Speaker 2 (01:07):
Okay, all right, I guess I'll go. I'll go nine
on Taco fall. Could really just the head of corn mazes.
Speaker 1 (01:16):
Defend an inbound pass is very tall, spooky.
Speaker 2 (01:21):
I don't really care for Halloween, to be honest with you,
I'll go I'll.
Speaker 1 (01:25):
Go six because it's the number of the beast. Okay,
I see where Max going here, leaves.
Speaker 2 (01:32):
I don't fuck with leaves, seven getting hurt, that's the
scho a fall eight eight. So what do I got?
I got three, three and four left.
Speaker 1 (01:44):
Three and four left eating chili.
Speaker 2 (01:47):
Oh, who knows what's gonna come up next? I'll put
eating chili at three.
Speaker 1 (01:54):
Number three and then finally, so we learned to pick ourselves.
Speaker 2 (01:57):
Up when we fall. Four it's on the rushmore? Why not?
Good sound advice?
Speaker 1 (02:03):
All right? Max? Top ten things associated with fall at
number ten, getting lost in corn mazes at number five,
I'm sorry. At number nine, Taco yep. Number eight is
getting hurt, seven leaves six, spooky five, it's nippy four.
(02:25):
So we learned to pick ourselves up three eating chili,
two football, and at number one Pumpy season.
Speaker 2 (02:32):
I mean I nailed the top three. That's all that matters.
Speaker 3 (02:41):
One good three, Yeah, chop.
Speaker 1 (02:46):
Three King of Queen Mall Street entertain Time, Goo, and
I'm Mac and we are the Mac and Goop program.
We bring you Friendship.
Speaker 2 (03:03):
Yep and fall ship soon enough. But as Goo mentioned,
our last episode of the summer and coming out of summer,
we have three summer blockbusters.
Speaker 1 (03:14):
Now we don't well technically.
Speaker 2 (03:17):
One of them one of them for sure, one of
them made Buku bucks, the other two not so much.
But we have three movies that came out this summer
that Good Goo and I did not see it in
a timely manner. A couple of them. I don't know
if any of them anyone saw in a timely manner,
but good and I have gotten to them. This is
the latest in what have you been watching lately? And
then after the three movies, we will get to a
(03:40):
show that good and I might have liked.
Speaker 1 (03:43):
And also liked it might be picking up some traction
to go into a season two. Because I just read
before getting on the air it will get a broadcast run. WHOA, Yeah,
you know what.
Speaker 2 (03:57):
I do think network television is stuck armed for quality programming,
and I do think Son's one character this show was
good enough.
Speaker 1 (04:09):
Yes, we'll get into that in a second, but Mac,
before we get to our movies, I do want to
point out that one of the movies that I did
watch in preparation for this episode was Weapons, But because
Mac did not have a chance to get to it,
I don't want to talk about it yet. I want
to wait until you see it and we can talk
about it together.
Speaker 2 (04:28):
Yeah, I think that. I think I'm gonna like that movie,
but I don't based on what I've seen and what
I've read about it, I don't know if I'm gonna
love it. But that's clearly been one of the more
popular movies of the year. I should be able to
get to that in the next week or so. Goo
give us your soft reaction on weapons.
Speaker 1 (04:48):
Karrot sign facing Barbarian.
Speaker 2 (04:50):
Oh, okay, you really liked Barbarian.
Speaker 1 (04:53):
I did really like Barbarian. I think it has I
think it's a better movie in general, and I think
the twist is better. All right, fair enough, all right,
let's get to some movies that we are going to
talk about right now. Granted I haven't seen the movies
you saw, and you didn't see the movie I saw.
Speaker 2 (05:08):
But.
Speaker 1 (05:11):
Lota keep it short.
Speaker 2 (05:14):
Tell you run now.
Speaker 1 (05:17):
The Naked Gun fifty two million domestic, one oh one worldwide, PG.
Thirteen eighty five minutes long. That's brisk, Baby, Roddy T's
an eighty eight seventy three split. I understand both scores.
People are starved for comedy, but maybe they don't want
to remake of their favorite comedy slash sequel.
Speaker 2 (05:39):
We talked about legacy sequels, right, yes, is in.
Speaker 1 (05:42):
That yeah, legacy sequel?
Speaker 2 (05:44):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (05:44):
Metacritic forty eight reviews, a seventy five.
Speaker 2 (05:48):
So the critics really liked this movie. For comedy to
get in the seventies, that is saying a lot. The
critics watched this in giggled.
Speaker 1 (05:57):
Only one man with a particular set of is to
lead police squad and save the world. That's pretty good, right.
Speaker 2 (06:06):
He somehow kind of turned it into an Irish thing
towards the end.
Speaker 1 (06:09):
Well, yeah, because that's what Liam Neeson is, isn't He
is he Irish. He's not Italian.
Speaker 2 (06:14):
He's definitely not Italian.
Speaker 1 (06:16):
Okay, so we agree on this. Directed by Akiva Shaffer,
written by Dan Gregor, Doug Manned and Akiva Shaffer, starring
Liam Nisson's Pamela Anderson and Paul Walter Houser.
Speaker 2 (06:30):
Mac.
Speaker 1 (06:31):
I enjoyed this.
Speaker 2 (06:32):
Liam Neeson, Pam Anderson, and Paul Walter Hawser are three
of my favorite people on planet are for three very
different reasons. So I'm really intrigued. And by the way,
we're in the Pamela, Pamela.
Speaker 1 (06:43):
No, you give it to me. I'm not going to
do it to you.
Speaker 2 (06:46):
We'ren Andersons. I don't know, we're Pamela Anderson is back
and she's in movies and doing well. She was nominated,
not not for the Oscar, but she was nominated in
a bunch of the award shows last year for what
was the movie she was in something, The Last show Girl.
The Last show Girl, that's the name of it. Paul
(07:08):
Walter Houser has been great every time we've seen him,
and obviously Liam Neeson is very good leaning into these
types of characters. So this is a movie I've been
I was not interested in seeing like three months ago,
and then it came out and people were like, hey,
this is pretty good, so I would like to see it.
I just don't want to pay money to see it,
so when it hits streaming, I will get to it.
Speaker 1 (07:30):
It's the Pamsnaissance, by the way, sonaissance, because we say Pamela,
everyone knows it's Pamela Anderson.
Speaker 2 (07:35):
Well that's pam Pamela Renandersnaissance. That's that didn't work, all right, mac.
Speaker 1 (07:43):
I think one of the running gags in this movie
of him constantly getting more coffee while he still has coffee.
It's a good joke to me, the man's laughter joke
that we had in the trailer. It must have been
real funny to you. I'm gonna keep on doing Liam
Neeson's impressions. The gag where Pam mill and Anderson he
says to her to take a chair and she says, no,
(08:03):
I have plenty, and then at the end she takes
a chair with her. Anyways, that's good shit that I like.
There's a part where Ed Hawkins says, haven't you ever
heard of Miranda Rights? And then Frank Drebin says, what,
I'm pretty sure Carrie, it's carry that rights. Miranda is
a lawyer, Charlotte's an art dealer, and Samantha's a whore.
Speaker 2 (08:25):
See section the City humor always plays go they know that?
Speaker 1 (08:28):
And then finally, I think one of the better jokes here.
It's really fucking stupid. But Frank says, like an idiot's
completed jigsaw puzzle, I was being framed.
Speaker 2 (08:42):
Goo, I just had our our behind the scenes. People
look it up. Liam Neeson is North Irish. Yeah, so
that's why I was a little confused. Northern Ireland. Not
quite an Irish brogue, but close to it.
Speaker 1 (08:54):
Thirty two hot Dogs, thirty two hot dogs?
Speaker 2 (08:57):
All right? Yeah, So for comedies on the clearly friendship's
number one.
Speaker 1 (09:01):
Friendship is number one?
Speaker 2 (09:02):
What's next? Up? Is it? This?
Speaker 1 (09:04):
Nobody Too? Would not be considered a comedy. It definitely
has Yes, this is right around that same range though,
like right around thirty two hot dogs. So it's above
Nova Cane, It's above one of them days.
Speaker 2 (09:17):
How many belly laughs did you have?
Speaker 1 (09:18):
Not enough? It definitely has constant chuckles. I might have
belly laughed twice, but I don't know. It's definitely not
lolling friendship. I think I lolled throughout the whole thing, right,
this doesn't happen.
Speaker 2 (09:33):
This compared to the og which you were on.
Speaker 1 (09:37):
I was on hashtag doors talk about ye, I wasn't
on PCP.
Speaker 2 (09:41):
No. How would you compare this to the original or
any of the leslie nis.
Speaker 1 (09:49):
I don't love the first one. I'm not gonna lie.
I gave it a rewatch. I laughed a couple of times.
The blimp joke always gets me. The stuff on the
baseball field is good, but like this movie, it's chuckles throughout.
It's not a big belly lefts.
Speaker 2 (10:04):
Yeah, and I'm sort of of the same belief in
that I recognize the significance, yes, of the original.
Speaker 1 (10:11):
So let me say this though, is that I, because
of how many of my favorites comedic icons love that
movie and talk so highly of that movie, I have
nothing but respect for it. What they all say is
that that is the movie that taught them they can
be a live action cartoon character. That's before that. Look,
(10:33):
I have absolute respect and love for it, but I
never want to see it again.
Speaker 2 (10:38):
Yeah, I mean I've seen it. I don't know a
handful of times. I've never once stuck to my to
myself like and I'm trying to even think like in
that same type of genre, right, Like, let's say Robin
Hood menotites. Yeah, better than that. Oh no.
Speaker 1 (10:52):
I so on on Dork, let's see if I have
that list here, But on Dork, I gave a list
of like five to ten others spoons that I'd rather watch.
Speaker 2 (11:01):
Yeah, Spaceball's better.
Speaker 1 (11:02):
Austin Powers is my number one.
Speaker 2 (11:04):
Yeah, Yeah, so Airplane, Yeah.
Speaker 1 (11:06):
Spinal Tap, there's a lot with all that. Dew we
Cox great one. Cox.
Speaker 2 (11:12):
Oh by the way, yes, uh A friend of the program,
a kid I work with, was traveling recently.
Speaker 1 (11:18):
And you can say his name. You can say his name,
give him a shout out.
Speaker 2 (11:22):
The little bed anonymous. Uh. He was eating directly in
a booth directly behind John c O'Reilly and had a
brief conversation.
Speaker 1 (11:30):
It's just John c Riley. There is no O in there.
Speaker 2 (11:33):
Good call, yeah, he said. John c Riley was stunned
that he was recognized, which I think.
Speaker 1 (11:38):
Is I think he's one of the most recognizable people ever.
Speaker 2 (11:41):
He's an odd looking dude, odd looking dude.
Speaker 1 (11:44):
And then like, how'd you knows me?
Speaker 2 (11:47):
Like that's solid John c Riley.
Speaker 1 (11:49):
So yeah, so good. I like that movie. Go ahead.
Speaker 2 (11:52):
Two movies that I watched you didn't watch will hit
you with back to back ones here, both intended for
child audience's preteen audience's kid audiences. First one up is
How to Train Your Dragon. This was in theaters on
June thirteenth. It will be streaming on Peacock in a
couple of weeks. October tenth, this had an eighty four
point six million dollar domestic opening weekend big number. It
(12:16):
ended up getting to six hundred and thirty four million
dollars worldwide on one hundred and sixty five million dollar budget,
so this made a lot of money. A lot of
people went and saw it. Those three animated movies are
very popular. First one came out in twenty ten. Good.
This is rated PG. It is an action adventure, comedy, drama,
family fantasy sub genre sword and Sorcery teen adventure, teen fantasy.
(12:37):
It as a run time of one hundred and twenty
five minutes, so a little bit longer than you would
want or anticipate. But I actually think the pacing is
pretty strong on this, And of course it's based on
an animated movie that's based on a book, so the
writing is not weak in here. It's it's pretty well
sourced on roddy T's seventy six percent from the critics,
ninety seven percent from the audience now, and that makes
(12:59):
sense because I don't think the critics want to see
live action remakes. But even at that still seventy six
percent ninety seven percent from the audience makes sense because
this movie's really likable. Goo. I found it as some
of that never watched the animated movies. This was easy
to dive into pretty quickly, and it didn't It wasn't
super super dumb the way the Minecraft movie was, for example,
(13:22):
but was tolerable. This movie's pretty good. This movie's pretty
good on Metacritic of sixty one if you want to
look up the roddy T's and metacritics scores of the
three animated movies are all pretty good, pretty high. So
again based on good stuff here. This is written and
directed by Dean de bloyse Dublos de Bloy's d E. B.
L OLiS. I don't know how you say it, but
(13:43):
we know him from the original Leland Stitch movie and
he also directed the three animated movies in this series.
This is based on that animated movie, of course, written
by William Davies, Dean and Chris Sanders. Chris Anders I
believe the voice of Stitch, and the book was written
by Cresteda Cowell. I had no idea this was a
book until about three hours ago. I'm sure it's pretty good.
(14:05):
Synopsis as an ancient threat and dangers both Vikings and
dragons alike on the Isle of Burke, The friendship between Hiccup,
an inventive Viking, and Toothless, a night fury dragon, becomes
the key to both species forging a new future together.
This stars Mason Thames, as the voice, not the voice.
He's the actual actor.
Speaker 1 (14:24):
As Hiccup Tims like Eric Times.
Speaker 2 (14:28):
It's a great question or Marcus Tames. I don't know
you would remember him as the kid from Black Phone.
He's grown up a little bit. Uh. Nico Parker has Asterid,
sort of the pseudo love interest best friend thing here.
Gerard Butler plays Hiccups father's.
Speaker 1 (14:43):
Jerry Butcher and the Jerry butsonassance. He was an airplane
last year.
Speaker 2 (14:49):
It's a good point.
Speaker 1 (14:50):
Not airplane, this plane. He was a pilot and his
plane crashes.
Speaker 2 (14:55):
I believe it was called plane crash, Yeah, which would
fit in with Rod Butler titled movies Goode. Nick Frost
plays Gobbler. He's like the Viking teacher. And then the
group of hooligans that hang out and train with Hiccup
and Astrod are Gabriel Howell as snot Lout, Julian Dennis
and his fish legs. You've seen him a few times.
(15:17):
He was the fire kid in Deadpool two, Broadwin James
as rough Nut and Harry Trevaldwin as tough nut dude.
This movie makes me want to watch the animated movies.
This movie was pretty good. This movie's pretty good. And
this was just a blind spot for me when the
first one came out in twenty ten. I was in college,
not necessarily at my peak of interest of watching animated
(15:39):
kids movies, but I liked the story in this. It's essentially,
you know, it is a tale as old as time.
You have a village fighting against and trying to kill
these dragons who are just trying to survive. Turns out
they could coexist and all be better together, and that's
really what the story of this movie is. It's easy
to root for. Dragons are cool. The CGI and the
(16:01):
dragons are pretty good. It's not like you can tell
like the money spent was well worth it. It doesn't look bad.
And I think this is easy to enjoy for a
six year old, easily enjoy for a ten year old.
I'm thirty six years old and I enjoyed this movie.
So I have this. I'm not gonna pretend it's the
greatest movie all time. And again, it is a live
action remake, but I have it at thirty two Hot Dogs.
(16:22):
I think it's a little bit better than the Lele
and Stitch live action remake as far as live action
remakes go. In the AAR twenty like that too. I
have this as my number thirteen movie on the Yargo.
It's a movie I would recommend watching, whether you have
kids or not. I think it's good enough to sort
of fulfill all the desires of all audiences.
Speaker 1 (16:40):
So two things here is number one, you are saying
this is a Gateway movie.
Speaker 2 (16:45):
It's a bit of a Gateway movie. Okay, a bit
of a Gateway movie.
Speaker 1 (16:47):
And then keep this in mind too, is that if
you do go out and watch those animated movies, you
have to listen to Jay Barshal talk.
Speaker 2 (16:54):
Oh is he the main character? Okay, all right, well
what are you gonna do? He's She's out of my league?
Solid movie, Alice Eve.
Speaker 1 (17:03):
So that is such I went in there with maybe
with too high of hopes, but I know, but like,
I don't know how much I like him now, But
I liked J. T. Miller, Jay Bearshal. I was a
fan of what was his show? His Jude Appatow show, Undeclared.
I was a fan of Undeclared. So like, yeah, Charlie Hunhum,
(17:25):
Tim Stack, Seth Rogan, want to just talk Undeclared right now?
Speaker 2 (17:31):
No? Was Seth? I thought Jason Siegel was in.
Speaker 1 (17:33):
That Jason Siegel. So let me explain Jason Siegel. He
was not a main character on the show. He was
the older out of school boyfriend boyfriend, a period girl
from super Bad. Yes, So what then happened was Jude
Appatow knew that he might be getting canceled, so he
used his final episode as a backdoor pilot to possibly
(17:57):
get a Jason Siegel show in the next season. They
didn't get it, though.
Speaker 2 (18:02):
Yeah, zero for two on that one.
Speaker 1 (18:04):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (18:05):
My takeaway from How to Train Your Dragon this is good.
Watched the animated movies. I bet they're better. So that's
what I'm gonna do in the next few weeks, watch
probably all three, and then we could do a whole
podcast on all three. Goo.
Speaker 1 (18:15):
We'll see about that.
Speaker 2 (18:16):
I'll tell you what Raffi would like these movies. I
bet I can guarantee.
Speaker 1 (18:20):
He's ten minutes into the first one, so let's see
how long it takes him to finish.
Speaker 2 (18:23):
Go next up another movie that is intended for kids,
but once again we're dealing with Pixar, who keeps missing
the mark. Ilio el Eo elo Elio Ayo looks like
the pizza. Everyone says it differently. This one came out
a week after How To Train Your Dragon June twentieth
in theaters. This is already on Disney Plus SKO if
(18:45):
you'd like to watch it Disney Plus. As of September seventeenth,
this movie did not make money. I mean it did
seventy two point nine domestic one hundred and fifty four
million worldwide on one hundred and million dollar budget, so
they probably lost one hundred million dollars.
Speaker 1 (19:00):
They lost some money.
Speaker 2 (19:01):
Yeah, just the latest in Pixar's mishaps here, and I
don't I guess people don't want new ideas and new movies.
They want the same old eyps and the same old
characters we know and love. Because this movie looked promising,
this movie looked fun, and apparently no one wanted to
watch it. This is a PG adventure, animated adventure, comedy, drama,
(19:22):
family fantasy sci fi sub genre alien invasion. We know
how much you love these GOO also space sci fi.
How about that? A runtime of ninety eight minutes. It's short,
but there's a little bit of a pacing issue. I
must admit. It's not all fun and games for the
full ninety eight minutes on roddy T's eighty three percent
(19:42):
from the critics, ninety percent from the audience, so those
that went and start and have seen since have enjoyed it.
A Metacritics score of sixty six. This movie's written by
thirty five people when it's directed by three. Adrian Molina,
Madeline Sharafian Domi she synopsis. L Eo, a space fanatic
with an active imagination, finds himself on a cosmic misadventure
(20:03):
where he must form new bonds with alien life forms,
navigate a crisis of intergalactic proportions, and somehow discover who
he is truly meant to be. This stars Jonis Kibriebe
as l e O Elio, Zoe Saldana as his mother,
Olga Remy Edgar Lee as Glordon Brandon Moon Is, Ambassador Helix,
Brad Garrett Guo, No, that's right, Ray romonos.
Speaker 1 (20:24):
Well, Brad Garrett is. He's an accomplished voice actor. Raymond, Yeah,
he's an accomplished voice actor, so Lord Greygan.
Speaker 2 (20:31):
And then Jamila Jamil's Ambassador Kesta Kude. This movie is
your classic story of child doesn't fit in looking for
his or her place type of thing, and then somehow
fits in more with aliens and finds his bearings on
another planet, in another galaxy, in another world. And then
the story and the adventure that takes place helps him
(20:53):
fit in back on Earth. It helps him feel more
comfortable about him hisself. So I think it's a story
that some kids really attached to and relate to. It
just wasn't as fun as an exciting and exciting as
I wanted it to be. It's enjoyable. I don't regret
watching it. I think How To Train Your Dragon is better, definitively,
(21:15):
but I still I have this at thirty Hot Dogs,
my number eighteen movie on the year. Apparently it's the
only animated movie I've watched this year. I'm severely lacking
in animated movies. But I think, like I think, if
you sat Raffi down, the visuals of this movie would
draw him in quicker. He might want to watch this
one first. But ultimately I think he would like the
live action How to Train Your Dragon more.
Speaker 1 (21:36):
He likes cartoons. He'll pick the cartoons.
Speaker 2 (21:37):
Yeah, no, I'm saying he would pick this one to
watch first.
Speaker 1 (21:40):
Let me ask you, this is how how interesting is
the animation.
Speaker 2 (21:45):
It's a lot of colors. It's a lot of colors.
There's no ground baking animation techniques or things you've never
really seen before. But there's fun, alien looking creatures, and
it's very colorful.
Speaker 1 (21:54):
I feel like Pixar recently, it's just it's too much
of the same and they don't like stretch what they're
able to do, whereas like Wrong Sony DreamWorks, all of
their animation looks different from movie to movie.
Speaker 2 (22:07):
I agree that those studios are doing it a little different.
Come every movie. Pixar is a little too much alike.
But if you're talking about colorful adventures that are gonna
keep young kids entertained, this is probably pretty good for that.
I just didn't love it. I wanted to like it
a lot more than I did. But again, this is
not intended for me, a thirty six year old white male.
(22:28):
This is intended for a young kid that maybe doesn't
fit in you know. So it is what it is.
It's it's a good movie, just maybe not necessarily for me.
I bet kids really like it though.
Speaker 1 (22:38):
All right, and let's get to the final one here.
We just finished this season of television. All of the
episodes are on Peacock all ten episodes, and that is
the paper. But like we mentioned earlier, the Peacock comedy
will gets a broadcast run starting in November.
Speaker 2 (22:57):
Yeah, that's very interesting. That tells you that a lot
of people are watching it and it's getting decent critical
success as well.
Speaker 1 (23:05):
So I think what it means is that it's getting
good critical success. People are talking about it online, and
NBC says, I think we can get a bigger audience
because not everyone subscribes to Peacock, maybe they'll watch on NBCA.
Speaker 2 (23:20):
Yeah. I think you're right, and I think it's gonna
end up doing decently well. I think people are craving
this style show, and like, if you're looking for like
a ripoff, spinoff poor Man's Office type of show, if
that's like.
Speaker 1 (23:35):
It's definitely it's a poor Man's Office, poor Man's parks
and rec.
Speaker 2 (23:38):
Yeah. Yeah, if you like parks and rec and you
like the office, this does enough good that satisfies a
little bit of that craving. It's it's honestly, you know, good.
And I talked about it a couple of weeks ago
or a week ago when we had just sort of
stuck our toes in and dabbled in a few episodes.
I think we were both surprised at how not bad.
Speaker 1 (23:56):
It was, Yes, and saying not bad is not bad
for the first season of a mockumentary show, right, Parks
and rec first season not great, The Office first season
not great. Technically, Modern Family is also a modern as
a mockumentary show. That first season's fucking dynamite. It is.
It is first three seasons of that show, first four.
Speaker 2 (24:18):
The Modern Family has become underrated in the pantheon of
great sitcoms.
Speaker 1 (24:22):
I feel like it burned real hot, and then people
as they were jumping off the broadcast television cycle, they've
just kind of forgotten about it.
Speaker 2 (24:31):
I agree.
Speaker 1 (24:31):
I bet that's going to be the next one that
gets like five hundred million or a billion dollars from
one of these streaming sites.
Speaker 2 (24:38):
Yeah, yep, ye.
Speaker 1 (24:40):
All right. So you know that documentary film crew that
followed around the.
Speaker 2 (24:44):
Office, I do remember them.
Speaker 1 (24:46):
Goo they back, and now they are following a Midwestern
newspaper that is trying to revive the news out in Ohio.
Speaker 2 (24:56):
Yeah, Toledo, Ohio. I think right that.
Speaker 1 (24:58):
Taledo Truth Tata.
Speaker 2 (25:00):
That's what it is. And goot. I think you know.
The magic of the office is most of those characters
are extremes in one personality trait or another, and they
never really go over the line. Michael Scott does a
little bit, especially in that first season, but he gets
drawn in by season two. You're flying. This show tries
(25:24):
to echo that and does a decent job. You know,
Parks and Rec obviously does a similar thing. However, what
this show has that those other two didn't is a
character that's so so far beyond even pretending to be
a real character that she nearly submarines the entire show.
Speaker 1 (25:42):
As Morelda played by Sabrina in Pacaci.
Speaker 2 (25:46):
In Paccia tore or in Paciatre.
Speaker 1 (25:50):
I felt like she was a cartoon character among semi
real people. Like obviously, everyone's a little outlandish. I would
say that they should try and make their characters a
little more different too. A lot of the people that
work in the newsroom are very very similar, but she is.
Even her motives like they just don't make any sense,
(26:13):
to the point of like, why is she still around?
None of it makes any sense.
Speaker 2 (26:17):
Dwight Shreut simpleton, weirdo. It works. He's ridiculous, but it works.
Michael Scott is seeking love, it works. Her motivation is
not good enough for her to be that ridiculous, and
I don't know, gu like, she's within five minutes you
want you want to punch your television because she's so on.
Speaker 1 (26:38):
By the seventh or eighth episode, I was skipping her scenes.
Speaker 2 (26:42):
Yeah, it's it's bad. She's really she's honestly, you know,
we talked about it a lot at length. When every
time we discussed breaking Bad there's some all time bad
characters or all time annoying characters. I should say this
is one of the worst written characters ever, ever, ever
in any show. Yep, so bad, and it's too bad
(27:02):
because there's three or four characters in this show that
pretty good, and characters I want to see more from
and see how things develop.
Speaker 1 (27:10):
My other issue, though, is that within these ten episodes,
I think things move too quickly. By the end of
this season, they start up by just figuring out how
to be reporters. By the end of the season, they're
already winning awards and they're already starting these office romances.
Speaker 2 (27:27):
The One Real Reporter won an award well, no, but
they also won for newspaper and like so they won
a couple of the Real People won the Real Awards.
Speaker 1 (27:37):
I feel like it moved too quickly. That would have
been something that, like a nice multi season arc of
building up to that. That would have been nice. There
are two or three episodes that I do really like
in this. I like them trying to write stories while
being paid for like a product, so you're trying to say, oh,
we're not being paid for this, like so that was decent.
There was also the whole thing with them trying to
(27:59):
write a story that their parent company is trying to
cover up. That's a fun little thing too there. It
would have been nice if in this newsroom you had
some extremes of like someone who's completely left or completely right,
where they're trying to get their information out there and
then the editor is trying to keep them, you know,
(28:19):
inside the reins, like this is almost it's almost too safe.
And what they're doing, I get.
Speaker 2 (28:25):
What you're saying, and you know, wrapping up the story
the way they did at the end of season one
and playing it on the safer side. I wonder is
because they nothing was guaranteed after a season. Yeah, right,
so I think they wanted to be a little clean.
Speaker 1 (28:40):
With and also like they weren't offending anybody, and like
the Office, the Office went out there some times and
you know, maybe not was like in your face offensive,
but in the way that it was so cringey it
would offend people.
Speaker 2 (28:54):
Yeah, yeah, no, you're right about that. I gotta I
want to highlight a couple of characters though. I liked Adam,
the one that came over from the toilet paper company.
He's like, he's dumb, stupid and ridiculous, but never like
crosses the line into absurdity. He's really good. And then
uh the uh is it Detric I'm trying to I
(29:18):
see this is this is the issue with the show.
Speaker 1 (29:21):
I know John Hill Gleason is I know who as
Morelda And then the blonde one.
Speaker 2 (29:30):
Yeah she's from Massachusetts by the way, Oh shout out. Yeah,
I'm butchering this this character's name. But I think it's
good enough and it's free, you know, if you have
peacock and it will become an NBC. I think it's
worth a watch to let us know how you feel
about it. There's obviously there's passionate Office fans. Two of
them are sitting here right now and us as massive
(29:51):
Office fans weren't offended by the spinoff. I'll put it
that way. It was it was good enough.
Speaker 1 (29:56):
That's exactly. It was good enough. I think it's good
enough to when season two comes out, I will watch.
If by the end of season two we're at the
same place like how I feel about it, or it's lower,
I'll probably jump ship.
Speaker 2 (30:09):
I also liked the the blogger influencer, like just pressing,
you know, and then they go back and forth, they hit,
They hit on a couple decent notes that like has
actually happened in real life.
Speaker 1 (30:22):
So Mac, your wash is done?
Speaker 2 (30:25):
No, that was my drier thing.
Speaker 1 (30:26):
Oh that's your dryer. Sorry about that camera. Also, while
I don't love the character the British fella with the
gray hair, ye him responding to all mass emails killed me.
Speaker 2 (30:40):
See. The fix to this show is they need to
take es morel to elp back the way they did
with Mark in Parks and Red and then have.
Speaker 1 (30:49):
But British guy. Did you leave him alone?
Speaker 2 (30:53):
Have the British guy take over that that you just
need him there doing it. You don't need him and
her It was too much.
Speaker 1 (30:59):
You know what's crazy is that in Parks and rec.
I didn't mind Mark Brandanowitz. But then when you were
shown the alternative of Adam Scott and Rob Low, you're lame. Wow.
Speaker 2 (31:09):
Same way Wow. First time through I didn't mind Mark
at all. Yeah. Then by like the tenth time, I'm like, yeah,
Mark does suck.
Speaker 1 (31:16):
Wow. Yeah, check it out if you if you got
the time, give it a give it a googs. Let's
get into Mac sack Man. Mac sack could be anything,
It could be a boat, and Mac as a gentleman
(31:37):
pushing fifty years old.
Speaker 2 (31:38):
We are closer to fifty than we are twenty.
Speaker 1 (31:41):
I have created because it is sept tier ber I
created a tier of all and you can help me.
You're gonna tier things that I do that is it
old or is it just goo?
Speaker 2 (31:57):
Okay?
Speaker 1 (31:58):
At the top tier it is is methusela rookie card.
Speaker 4 (32:02):
Whoa matthusl a rookie.
Speaker 1 (32:04):
Card number two is older than George Burns.
Speaker 5 (32:08):
Look at the store clerk, she's older than George Burns.
Speaker 1 (32:11):
Then you go to old balls, old ball, follow that
up with like not that old.
Speaker 3 (32:19):
But well, I guess this is growing up.
Speaker 1 (32:23):
And then finally it's not old. You're not being old,
You're just weird.
Speaker 2 (32:28):
Be weird.
Speaker 1 (32:30):
So Mac, we will go ahead and go through these
things that I do pretty much in my everyday life,
and you tell me where it tears.
Speaker 2 (32:39):
I'm gonna have a hard time differentiating between the top
three tiers here.
Speaker 1 (32:42):
That's fine because they're all pretty similar. The first one
up here is early to bed, early to rise.
Speaker 2 (32:50):
I guess this is growing up. That's where i'd put that.
Speaker 3 (32:53):
Well, I guess this is growing up.
Speaker 1 (32:55):
So that's not an old thing. That's just you.
Speaker 2 (32:57):
You're you're growing up. Yeah, you're an adult, you got responsibilities,
you know. It just is what it is.
Speaker 1 (33:02):
I listened to music through YouTube.
Speaker 2 (33:06):
Yeah, this is this is I feel like that's a
really old thing. Put it somewhere in the top three.
Speaker 1 (33:12):
Pick one. You gotta pick one.
Speaker 2 (33:14):
Like when my dad sends me songs. He's not sending
me Apple Music or Spotify, He's sending me YouTube links.
Speaker 1 (33:20):
So which one?
Speaker 2 (33:21):
Uh, old old ball?
Speaker 1 (33:25):
I begun to steep my own coffee.
Speaker 2 (33:28):
Okay, that's not old, it's just weird. It's just weird.
Speaker 1 (33:32):
Weird, it's just good.
Speaker 2 (33:34):
Good is like when people are super into coffee making,
espresso making, and teammaking. I don't think a you're old,
You're just weird.
Speaker 1 (33:43):
I'm not doing it to be into coffee. I'm doing
it to save money.
Speaker 2 (33:47):
Yeah, it's still weird.
Speaker 1 (33:49):
All right? Fine, perusing Facebook Marketplace.
Speaker 2 (33:53):
I do this now more often than i'd like to admit.
Speaker 1 (33:56):
Fuck you, yes, I knew it.
Speaker 2 (34:02):
My mom also peruses Marketplace all the time. That doesn't
help my argument at all. I would say this is
growing up, and I don't say. I wouldn't say it's weird.
So you place it somewhere on the top there.
Speaker 1 (34:12):
No, you gotta tell me you're in charge of this tear.
Speaker 2 (34:14):
Well, if you're what's called a fusel rookie card.
Speaker 4 (34:18):
Whoa myst is a little rookie card?
Speaker 1 (34:21):
All right? Next one up here is just still having
a Facebook.
Speaker 4 (34:25):
Mmm.
Speaker 2 (34:26):
It's almost because we were ahead of the time. We
had them before the adults. But now people our age,
don't you. I only use Facebook for marketplace now, yeah,
or to remember someone's birthday.
Speaker 1 (34:39):
So what is it?
Speaker 2 (34:40):
I guess this is growing up?
Speaker 3 (34:42):
Well, I guess this is growing up.
Speaker 1 (34:44):
My memory is bad.
Speaker 2 (34:46):
My short term memory is horrible, horrible. If it doesn't
go into my calendar or a note app, I have
no idea, what's happened or what should be happening, or
where I should be showing up older than George Burns.
Speaker 5 (34:59):
Look at the store, she's older than George Burns.
Speaker 1 (35:03):
My memory is all of this stuff in this podcast,
all the dumb shit that I know. That's all I have.
Speaker 2 (35:10):
Actually, I don't even remember most of the things I
say on this podcast.
Speaker 1 (35:13):
I don remember anything that I say on this podcast.
I'm saying fun facts that I bring to the table
on this podcast. But then people will tell me stuff
from my life and I'm like, wait a second, that
doesn't sound like me.
Speaker 2 (35:23):
I didn't say that. It is.
Speaker 1 (35:26):
I sneeze loudly.
Speaker 2 (35:28):
Not all just weird, bit weird.
Speaker 1 (35:31):
I get mad at my neighbors when they don't bring
their barrels in.
Speaker 2 (35:35):
Yeah, especially in your neighborhood's street, parking is the utmost
of importance. But sometimes like if you bring it out
in the morning, you might not be home till six
o'clock at night. You can't bring them in, you know.
For me, I work at twenty four hour shift. To
put them out in the morn, I can't bring them
back to the next morning. I know. For facts, Sometimes
my neighbor brings mine back so that he can park
where the trash cans are. So old boss, old boss,
(36:01):
old ball.
Speaker 1 (36:03):
Well, so what I see sometimes from my neighbors is
the cans are empty, and they'll move them out of
the way so they can leave their driveway. They don't
put them back, They leave them on the sidewalk. They
just move them out of the way.
Speaker 2 (36:17):
I think the ideas you're supposed to leave them at
the end of your driveway, but almost no one does that.
Speaker 1 (36:21):
No, it's always on the sidewalk or on the curb,
or on the street or something. I talk about the
weather a lot.
Speaker 2 (36:29):
It's important. M h, it's important.
Speaker 1 (36:31):
It's an easy conversation starter. When I don't know somebody,
I'm like, well.
Speaker 2 (36:34):
I guess I guess this is growing up.
Speaker 3 (36:36):
Well, I guess this is growing up.
Speaker 1 (36:38):
How about that heat? The humidity is crazy right now.
It did rain the other day, so that's kind of helping.
Speaker 2 (36:43):
Out right right.
Speaker 1 (36:48):
I think about my own mortality and the mortality of
my loved ones quite a bit.
Speaker 2 (36:53):
I don't I haven't gotten there yet. So I'll say
older than George Burns on that one.
Speaker 5 (36:58):
Look at the store clerks, she's older than George Burnes.
Speaker 1 (37:01):
I grown a lot when getting up.
Speaker 2 (37:09):
Uh Uh. They could go into any of the five categories.
Speaker 1 (37:14):
Any of them. I'm gonna ask you to pick one, though,
I don't think it's that weird.
Speaker 2 (37:17):
So let's go with Methusela.
Speaker 1 (37:20):
Who Mastu is a little rookie card out of nowhere.
I love the taste of lemons.
Speaker 2 (37:27):
I like, no, that's weird, not old, just weird weird.
Speaker 1 (37:32):
You'ven't developed a taste for lemons yet.
Speaker 2 (37:35):
I could tolerate lemons. I like them. I like them
squeezing it over my pad time.
Speaker 1 (37:39):
Yeah, as a kid, I didn't care for lemons at all.
Now I'm like, I like a nice routine.
Speaker 2 (37:47):
M this is growing up.
Speaker 3 (37:49):
Well, I guess this is growing up.
Speaker 2 (37:51):
Having a routine. Getting to wake up at the same
times is nice.
Speaker 1 (37:55):
Like even when I'm on vacation for too long, I'm like,
I kind of missed my routine.
Speaker 2 (37:58):
Yeah, I don't kind of this vacation.
Speaker 1 (38:01):
We've been here for three days. I think we've had enough.
I think I'm shorter.
Speaker 2 (38:10):
Uh, George Burns.
Speaker 5 (38:13):
Look at the store clerks. She's older than George Burns.
Speaker 1 (38:16):
I swear, And like, cause you're telling me. Doctors have
messaged me about this when I claimed that one of
our friends grew two inches at the age of thirty five.
Apparently not a possibility. The only other thing would be
like I'm getting.
Speaker 2 (38:31):
Shorter, yeah, which is more likely.
Speaker 1 (38:34):
We were the same height my entire life, and suddenly
I'm looking up at him. Unless hole think about this.
Speaker 2 (38:41):
Maybe he's been laying on one of those boards that
flips you upside down.
Speaker 1 (38:44):
Well, either that or he bought two horses and then
he ties his hands to one side and his feet
to the other, and the horse is running opposite directions.
Speaker 2 (38:52):
You wouldn't want four horses for four directions. Maximize it.
Speaker 1 (38:55):
That seems like a waste of money. You only need
two horses.
Speaker 2 (38:58):
I don't know. I think I might.
Speaker 1 (39:00):
I'm trying to become a fucking gumby. You just try
to be taller. Let's go on too. I say my
goodness after I yawn mm hmm.
Speaker 2 (39:14):
It's pretty old of you. Uh mathuselo rookie card.
Speaker 4 (39:21):
Oh, mosta is a little rookie card.
Speaker 1 (39:24):
It's fucking weird. And I try and catch myself every time.
But I'll give a big yawn and then just say
my goodness. And then finally I call all kids big dog.
Speaker 2 (39:41):
That's not an old thing, that's just weird, weird.
Speaker 1 (39:45):
It isn't even just kids. I don't know. I call
my nieces and afews big dog. I call my son
big dog sometimes big dog. Hey, big dog, get over here.
What are you doing over there, big dog? Oh it's up,
big dog.
Speaker 2 (40:01):
Everyone always has that, that crutch word they fall on
in yours is big dog.
Speaker 1 (40:05):
All right? So according to Mac and things that make
Goo old, let's start at the bottom. Not that old,
just weird. He has steeping his own coffee, weird sneezing loudly,
loving lemons, and calling children big dog. In the category
(40:29):
of well, I guess this is growing up. I still
have a Facebook. I talk about weather a lot, I
love routines, and I peruse Facebook marketplace. Is that what
that means?
Speaker 2 (40:40):
No? No, you're early to bed and you're up early.
Speaker 1 (40:42):
Oh that's right, early to bed, early to rise. In
the category of old ball. Zip your lip or I'll
break your hip, old man river. I listen to music
through YouTube and I get upset. Not upset. I don't
cry about it, but I get I get miffed when
my neighbors don't bring their barrels.
Speaker 2 (41:03):
In myft is a good word.
Speaker 1 (41:05):
I look that word all right now. In the category of.
Speaker 5 (41:08):
Look at the store clerks. He's older than George Burns.
Speaker 1 (41:11):
I have terrible memory. I think about mine and my
family's mortality a bit too much, and I think I'm
getting shorter.
Speaker 2 (41:19):
Yeah, older than George Burns.
Speaker 1 (41:21):
And then finally, who still is a little rookie card?
The amount of time I spend perusing Facebook Marketplace, groaning
while getting up and saying, oh my goodness after I yawn.
Speaker 2 (41:36):
Look at that. Another fantastic tear done by Mac and Goo.
Speaker 1 (41:41):

Well, I guess growing up is knowing that we're going
to be back on Tuesday. Maybe look that probably jewel ish.
Maybe we'll just we'll we'll pull the guys from South
Park and just be like episode wasn't ready my bad?
And you know what I think that is?
Speaker 3 (42:37):
Well, I guess this is growing up.
Speaker 1 (42:40):
That's what Parker and Stone said to each other.
Speaker 2 (42:42):
Yeah, all the time.
Speaker 1 (42:46):
That's what they always say to each other. It's weird.
You know what I like is when Adam Sandler threatens
the old guy that you know, I'll break your hip,
and then he has quietly says to himself, like to
see you try.
Speaker 6 (42:56):
Yeah, the biggest mistake you've ever made is old white
body and loose skin, old balls.
Speaker 2 (43:10):
I watched Big Dada the other day. It's on television
the other day.
Speaker 1 (43:12):
Would you say it's just last classic? Ummmm, obviously mister
Deeds came after it.
Speaker 2 (43:18):
That's border Deeds is borderline click is borderline.
Speaker 1 (43:22):
Click's not a classic Sandler though, I get, but it's
like two thousand and five, six or seven.
Speaker 2 (43:28):
Kate Beckettill's great and that movie makes me. Do you
know what ry?
Speaker 1 (43:31):
It might be? Pre and post anger management?
Speaker 2 (43:34):
Yeah, spanglish and Angler angle. Anger Management was spanglish Spangler management.
Speaker 1 (43:39):
Spangler management.
Speaker 2 (43:40):
Anger management made me angry.
Speaker 1 (43:43):
And then, don't get me wrong, I love that's my boy.
But would you call it a Sandler classic?
Speaker 2 (43:48):
No? But I'm like, I'm thinking classic like Last Last Bastion,
last great effort and the way we talk about Will
Ferrell in the early twenty tens. Click might be the
last one. Click might be the last one?
Speaker 1 (44:00):
What is that? Dultay and Gabana? No, it's a fucking
hefty bag gets me every time, Happy tissue sad tissues,
jerking off to the gram.
Speaker 2 (44:09):
What's uh? The love interest in Big Daddy?
Speaker 1 (44:12):
Big Daddy was what's her name? From Chasing Amy?
Speaker 2 (44:16):
Mm hmmig of her?
Speaker 1 (44:18):
Joey Adams, right, Joey Lawn Adams. Yes, there we go.
We should do we should do a blind ranking of
just trying to figure out people's names.
Speaker 2 (44:26):
Do you want to tear Saidler co stars next week?
Speaker 1 (44:28):
I'll let you do that alone. I'm not getting canceled.
I'm not here to get canceled. I'm not here to
say things that are offensive. And you know what I
say that.
Speaker 3 (44:38):
Is, well, I guess this is growing up.
Speaker 1 (44:42):
Tuesdays are goose days. I abuse kangaroos. Tam Burton.
Speaker 2 (44:47):
Bye.
Speaker 3 (44:53):
Please flip the cassette over to side B to continue
the adventure.
Speaker 1 (44:56):
Now, it's not for girls jumping on trampoline's
Mac. If you've seen these, if you heard about these
called a blind ranking. It's when you rank an item
not knowing where the other item may be. So there's ten,
and you got to slot what I give you into
that top ten without knowing what I'm gonna say next.
Speaker 2 (00:19):
You're gonna give me ten. I got a list of
ten things here, yes, and I'm gonna blind rate them
one to ten, one.
Speaker 1 (00:26):
To ten, All right, sure, now, Mac, this is the
final episode of the summer. The Fall technically starts. It
depends on when you're listening. I'm gonna ask you right now.
Speaker 2 (00:36):
Okay.

Football, two, getting lost in corn mazes. Ten, Taco Taco Fall.
Speaker 2 (01:07):
Okay, all right, I guess I'll go. I'll go nine
on Taco fall. Could really just the head of corn mazes.
Speaker 1 (01:16):
Defend an inbound pass is very tall, spooky.
Speaker 2 (01:21):
I don't really care for Halloween, to be honest with you,
I'll go I'll.
Speaker 1 (01:25):
Go six because it's the number of the beast. Okay,
I see where Max going here, leaves.
Speaker 2 (01:32):
I don't fuck with leaves, seven getting hurt, that's the
scho a fall eight eight. So what do I got?
I got three, three and four left.
Speaker 1 (01:44):
Three and four left eating chili.
Speaker 2 (01:47):
Oh, who knows what's gonna come up next? I'll put
eating chili at three.
Speaker 1 (01:54):
Number three and then finally, so we learned to pick ourselves.
Speaker 2 (01:57):
Up when we fall. Four it's on the rushmore? Why not?
Good sound advice?
Speaker 1 (02:03):
All right? Max? Top ten things associated with fall at
number ten, getting lost in corn mazes at number five,
I'm sorry. At number nine, Taco yep. Number eight is
getting hurt, seven leaves six, spooky five, it's nippy four.
(02:25):
So we learned to pick ourselves up three eating chili,
two football, and at number one Pumpy season.
Speaker 2 (02:32):
I mean I nailed the top three. That's all that matters.
Speaker 3 (02:41):
One good three, Yeah, chop.
Speaker 1 (02:46):
Three King of Queen Mall Street entertain Time, Goo, and
I'm Mac and we are the Mac and Goop program.
We bring you Friendship.
Speaker 2 (03:03):
Yep and fall ship soon enough. But as Goo mentioned,
our last episode of the summer and coming out of summer,
we have three summer blockbusters.
Speaker 1 (03:14):
Now we don't well technically.
Speaker 2 (03:17):
One of them one of them for sure, one of
them made Buku bucks, the other two not so much.
But we have three movies that came out this summer
that Good Goo and I did not see it in
a timely manner. A couple of them. I don't know
if any of them anyone saw in a timely manner,
but good and I have gotten to them. This is
the latest in what have you been watching lately? And
then after the three movies, we will get to a
(03:40):
show that good and I might have liked.
Speaker 1 (03:43):
And also liked it might be picking up some traction
to go into a season two. Because I just read
before getting on the air it will get a broadcast run. WHOA, Yeah,
you know what.
Speaker 2 (03:57):
I do think network television is stuck armed for quality programming,
and I do think Son's one character this show was
good enough.
Speaker 1 (04:09):
Yes, we'll get into that in a second, but Mac,
before we get to our movies, I do want to
point out that one of the movies that I did
watch in preparation for this episode was Weapons, But because
Mac did not have a chance to get to it,
I don't want to talk about it yet. I want
to wait until you see it and we can talk
about it together.
Speaker 2 (04:28):
Yeah, I think that. I think I'm gonna like that movie,
but I don't based on what I've seen and what
I've read about it, I don't know if I'm gonna
love it. But that's clearly been one of the more
popular movies of the year. I should be able to
get to that in the next week or so. Goo
give us your soft reaction on weapons.
Speaker 1 (04:48):
Karrot sign facing Barbarian.
Speaker 2 (04:50):
Oh, okay, you really liked Barbarian.
Speaker 1 (04:53):
I did really like Barbarian. I think it has I
think it's a better movie in general, and I think
the twist is better. All right, fair enough, all right,
let's get to some movies that we are going to
talk about right now. Granted I haven't seen the movies
you saw, and you didn't see the movie I saw.
Speaker 2 (05:08):
But.
Speaker 1 (05:11):
Lota keep it short.
Speaker 2 (05:14):
Tell you run now.
Speaker 1 (05:17):
The Naked Gun fifty two million domestic, one oh one worldwide, PG.
Thirteen eighty five minutes long. That's brisk, Baby, Roddy T's
an eighty eight seventy three split. I understand both scores.
People are starved for comedy, but maybe they don't want
to remake of their favorite comedy slash sequel.
Speaker 2 (05:39):
We talked about legacy sequels, right, yes, is in.
Speaker 1 (05:42):
That yeah, legacy sequel?
Speaker 2 (05:44):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (05:44):
Metacritic forty eight reviews, a seventy five.
Speaker 2 (05:48):
So the critics really liked this movie. For comedy to
get in the seventies, that is saying a lot. The
critics watched this in giggled.
Speaker 1 (05:57):
Only one man with a particular set of is to
lead police squad and save the world. That's pretty good, right.
Speaker 2 (06:06):
He somehow kind of turned it into an Irish thing
towards the end.
Speaker 1 (06:09):
Well, yeah, because that's what Liam Neeson is, isn't He
is he Irish. He's not Italian.
Speaker 2 (06:14):
He's definitely not Italian.
Speaker 1 (06:16):
Okay, so we agree on this. Directed by Akiva Shaffer,
written by Dan Gregor, Doug Manned and Akiva Shaffer, starring
Liam Nisson's Pamela Anderson and Paul Walter Houser.
Speaker 2 (06:30):
Mac.
Speaker 1 (06:31):
I enjoyed this.
Speaker 2 (06:32):
Liam Neeson, Pam Anderson, and Paul Walter Hawser are three
of my favorite people on planet are for three very
different reasons. So I'm really intrigued. And by the way,
we're in the Pamela, Pamela.
Speaker 1 (06:43):
No, you give it to me. I'm not going to
do it to you.
Speaker 2 (06:46):
We'ren Andersons. I don't know, we're Pamela Anderson is back
and she's in movies and doing well. She was nominated,
not not for the Oscar, but she was nominated in
a bunch of the award shows last year for what
was the movie she was in something, The Last show Girl.
The Last show Girl, that's the name of it. Paul
(07:08):
Walter Houser has been great every time we've seen him,
and obviously Liam Neeson is very good leaning into these
types of characters. So this is a movie I've been
I was not interested in seeing like three months ago,
and then it came out and people were like, hey,
this is pretty good, so I would like to see it.
I just don't want to pay money to see it,
so when it hits streaming, I will get to it.
Speaker 1 (07:30):
It's the Pamsnaissance, by the way, sonaissance, because we say Pamela,
everyone knows it's Pamela Anderson.
Speaker 2 (07:35):
Well that's pam Pamela Renandersnaissance. That's that didn't work, all right, mac.
Speaker 1 (07:43):
I think one of the running gags in this movie
of him constantly getting more coffee while he still has coffee.
It's a good joke to me, the man's laughter joke
that we had in the trailer. It must have been
real funny to you. I'm gonna keep on doing Liam
Neeson's impressions. The gag where Pam mill and Anderson he
says to her to take a chair and she says, no,
(08:03):
I have plenty, and then at the end she takes
a chair with her. Anyways, that's good shit that I like.
There's a part where Ed Hawkins says, haven't you ever
heard of Miranda Rights? And then Frank Drebin says, what,
I'm pretty sure Carrie, it's carry that rights. Miranda is
a lawyer, Charlotte's an art dealer, and Samantha's a whore.
Speaker 2 (08:25):
See section the City humor always plays go they know that?
Speaker 1 (08:28):
And then finally, I think one of the better jokes here.
It's really fucking stupid. But Frank says, like an idiot's
completed jigsaw puzzle, I was being framed.
Speaker 2 (08:42):
Goo, I just had our our behind the scenes. People
look it up. Liam Neeson is North Irish. Yeah, so
that's why I was a little confused. Northern Ireland. Not
quite an Irish brogue, but close to it.
Speaker 1 (08:54):
Thirty two hot Dogs, thirty two hot dogs?
Speaker 2 (08:57):
All right? Yeah, So for comedies on the clearly friendship's
number one.
Speaker 1 (09:01):
Friendship is number one?
Speaker 2 (09:02):
What's next? Up? Is it? This?
Speaker 1 (09:04):
Nobody Too? Would not be considered a comedy. It definitely
has Yes, this is right around that same range though,
like right around thirty two hot dogs. So it's above
Nova Cane, It's above one of them days.
Speaker 2 (09:17):
How many belly laughs did you have?
Speaker 1 (09:18):
Not enough? It definitely has constant chuckles. I might have
belly laughed twice, but I don't know. It's definitely not
lolling friendship. I think I lolled throughout the whole thing, right,
this doesn't happen.
Speaker 2 (09:33):
This compared to the og which you were on.
Speaker 1 (09:37):
I was on hashtag doors talk about ye, I wasn't
on PCP.
Speaker 2 (09:41):
No. How would you compare this to the original or
any of the leslie nis.
Speaker 1 (09:49):
I don't love the first one. I'm not gonna lie.
I gave it a rewatch. I laughed a couple of times.
The blimp joke always gets me. The stuff on the
baseball field is good, but like this movie, it's chuckles throughout.
It's not a big belly lefts.
Speaker 2 (10:04):
Yeah, and I'm sort of of the same belief in
that I recognize the significance, yes, of the original.
Speaker 1 (10:11):
So let me say this though, is that I, because
of how many of my favorites comedic icons love that
movie and talk so highly of that movie, I have
nothing but respect for it. What they all say is
that that is the movie that taught them they can
be a live action cartoon character. That's before that. Look,
(10:33):
I have absolute respect and love for it, but I
never want to see it again.
Speaker 2 (10:38):
Yeah, I mean I've seen it. I don't know a
handful of times. I've never once stuck to my to
myself like and I'm trying to even think like in
that same type of genre, right, Like, let's say Robin
Hood menotites. Yeah, better than that. Oh no.
Speaker 1 (10:52):
I so on on Dork, let's see if I have
that list here, But on Dork, I gave a list
of like five to ten others spoons that I'd rather watch.
Speaker 2 (11:01):
Yeah, Spaceball's better.
Speaker 1 (11:02):
Austin Powers is my number one.
Speaker 2 (11:04):
Yeah, Yeah, so Airplane, Yeah.
Speaker 1 (11:06):
Spinal Tap, there's a lot with all that. Dew we
Cox great one. Cox.
Speaker 2 (11:12):
Oh by the way, yes, uh A friend of the program,
a kid I work with, was traveling recently.
Speaker 1 (11:18):
And you can say his name. You can say his name,
give him a shout out.
Speaker 2 (11:22):
The little bed anonymous. Uh. He was eating directly in
a booth directly behind John c O'Reilly and had a
brief conversation.
Speaker 1 (11:30):
It's just John c Riley. There is no O in there.
Speaker 2 (11:33):
Good call, yeah, he said. John c Riley was stunned
that he was recognized, which I think.
Speaker 1 (11:38):
Is I think he's one of the most recognizable people ever.
Speaker 2 (11:41):
He's an odd looking dude, odd looking dude.
Speaker 1 (11:44):
And then like, how'd you knows me?
Speaker 2 (11:47):
Like that's solid John c Riley.
Speaker 1 (11:49):
So yeah, so good. I like that movie. Go ahead.
Speaker 2 (11:52):
Two movies that I watched you didn't watch will hit
you with back to back ones here, both intended for
child audience's preteen audience's kid audiences. First one up is
How to Train Your Dragon. This was in theaters on
June thirteenth. It will be streaming on Peacock in a
couple of weeks. October tenth, this had an eighty four
point six million dollar domestic opening weekend big number. It
(12:16):
ended up getting to six hundred and thirty four million
dollars worldwide on one hundred and sixty five million dollar budget,
so this made a lot of money. A lot of
people went and saw it. Those three animated movies are
very popular. First one came out in twenty ten. Good.
This is rated PG. It is an action adventure, comedy, drama,
family fantasy sub genre sword and Sorcery teen adventure, teen fantasy.
(12:37):
It as a run time of one hundred and twenty
five minutes, so a little bit longer than you would
want or anticipate. But I actually think the pacing is
pretty strong on this, And of course it's based on
an animated movie that's based on a book, so the
writing is not weak in here. It's it's pretty well
sourced on roddy T's seventy six percent from the critics,
ninety seven percent from the audience now, and that makes
(12:59):
sense because I don't think the critics want to see
live action remakes. But even at that still seventy six
percent ninety seven percent from the audience makes sense because
this movie's really likable. Goo. I found it as some
of that never watched the animated movies. This was easy
to dive into pretty quickly, and it didn't It wasn't
super super dumb the way the Minecraft movie was, for example,
(13:22):
but was tolerable. This movie's pretty good. This movie's pretty
good on Metacritic of sixty one if you want to
look up the roddy T's and metacritics scores of the
three animated movies are all pretty good, pretty high. So
again based on good stuff here. This is written and
directed by Dean de bloyse Dublos de Bloy's d E. B.
L OLiS. I don't know how you say it, but
(13:43):
we know him from the original Leland Stitch movie and
he also directed the three animated movies in this series.
This is based on that animated movie, of course, written
by William Davies, Dean and Chris Sanders. Chris Anders I
believe the voice of Stitch, and the book was written
by Cresteda Cowell. I had no idea this was a
book until about three hours ago. I'm sure it's pretty good.
(14:05):
Synopsis as an ancient threat and dangers both Vikings and
dragons alike on the Isle of Burke, The friendship between Hiccup,
an inventive Viking, and Toothless, a night fury dragon, becomes
the key to both species forging a new future together.
This stars Mason Thames, as the voice, not the voice.
He's the actual actor.
Speaker 1 (14:24):
As Hiccup Tims like Eric Times.
Speaker 2 (14:28):
It's a great question or Marcus Tames. I don't know
you would remember him as the kid from Black Phone.
He's grown up a little bit. Uh. Nico Parker has Asterid,
sort of the pseudo love interest best friend thing here.
Gerard Butler plays Hiccups father's.
Speaker 1 (14:43):
Jerry Butcher and the Jerry butsonassance. He was an airplane
last year.
Speaker 2 (14:49):
It's a good point.
Speaker 1 (14:50):
Not airplane, this plane. He was a pilot and his
plane crashes.
Speaker 2 (14:55):
I believe it was called plane crash, Yeah, which would
fit in with Rod Butler titled movies Goode. Nick Frost
plays Gobbler. He's like the Viking teacher. And then the
group of hooligans that hang out and train with Hiccup
and Astrod are Gabriel Howell as snot Lout, Julian Dennis
and his fish legs. You've seen him a few times.
(15:17):
He was the fire kid in Deadpool two, Broadwin James
as rough Nut and Harry Trevaldwin as tough nut dude.
This movie makes me want to watch the animated movies.
This movie was pretty good. This movie's pretty good. And
this was just a blind spot for me when the
first one came out in twenty ten. I was in college,
not necessarily at my peak of interest of watching animated
(15:39):
kids movies, but I liked the story in this. It's essentially,
you know, it is a tale as old as time.
You have a village fighting against and trying to kill
these dragons who are just trying to survive. Turns out
they could coexist and all be better together, and that's
really what the story of this movie is. It's easy
to root for. Dragons are cool. The CGI and the
(16:01):
dragons are pretty good. It's not like you can tell
like the money spent was well worth it. It doesn't look bad.
And I think this is easy to enjoy for a
six year old, easily enjoy for a ten year old.
I'm thirty six years old and I enjoyed this movie.
So I have this. I'm not gonna pretend it's the
greatest movie all time. And again, it is a live
action remake, but I have it at thirty two Hot Dogs.
(16:22):
I think it's a little bit better than the Lele
and Stitch live action remake as far as live action
remakes go. In the AAR twenty like that too. I
have this as my number thirteen movie on the Yargo.
It's a movie I would recommend watching, whether you have
kids or not. I think it's good enough to sort
of fulfill all the desires of all audiences.
Speaker 1 (16:40):
So two things here is number one, you are saying
this is a Gateway movie.
Speaker 2 (16:45):
It's a bit of a Gateway movie. Okay, a bit
of a Gateway movie.
Speaker 1 (16:47):
And then keep this in mind too, is that if
you do go out and watch those animated movies, you
have to listen to Jay Barshal talk.
Speaker 2 (16:54):
Oh is he the main character? Okay, all right, well
what are you gonna do? He's She's out of my league?
Solid movie, Alice Eve.
Speaker 1 (17:03):
So that is such I went in there with maybe
with too high of hopes, but I know, but like,
I don't know how much I like him now, But
I liked J. T. Miller, Jay Bearshal. I was a
fan of what was his show? His Jude Appatow show, Undeclared.
I was a fan of Undeclared. So like, yeah, Charlie Hunhum,
(17:25):
Tim Stack, Seth Rogan, want to just talk Undeclared right now?
Speaker 2 (17:31):
No? Was Seth? I thought Jason Siegel was in.
Speaker 1 (17:33):
That Jason Siegel. So let me explain Jason Siegel. He
was not a main character on the show. He was
the older out of school boyfriend boyfriend, a period girl
from super Bad. Yes, So what then happened was Jude
Appatow knew that he might be getting canceled, so he
used his final episode as a backdoor pilot to possibly
(17:57):
get a Jason Siegel show in the next season. They
didn't get it, though.
Speaker 2 (18:02):
Yeah, zero for two on that one.
Speaker 1 (18:04):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (18:05):
My takeaway from How to Train Your Dragon this is good.
Watched the animated movies. I bet they're better. So that's
what I'm gonna do in the next few weeks, watch
probably all three, and then we could do a whole
podcast on all three. Goo.
Speaker 1 (18:15):
We'll see about that.
Speaker 2 (18:16):
I'll tell you what Raffi would like these movies. I
bet I can guarantee.
Speaker 1 (18:20):
He's ten minutes into the first one, so let's see
how long it takes him to finish.
Speaker 2 (18:23):
Go next up another movie that is intended for kids,
but once again we're dealing with Pixar, who keeps missing
the mark. Ilio el Eo elo Elio Ayo looks like
the pizza. Everyone says it differently. This one came out
a week after How To Train Your Dragon June twentieth
in theaters. This is already on Disney Plus SKO if
(18:45):
you'd like to watch it Disney Plus. As of September seventeenth,
this movie did not make money. I mean it did
seventy two point nine domestic one hundred and fifty four
million worldwide on one hundred and million dollar budget, so
they probably lost one hundred million dollars.
Speaker 1 (19:00):
They lost some money.
Speaker 2 (19:01):
Yeah, just the latest in Pixar's mishaps here, and I
don't I guess people don't want new ideas and new movies.
They want the same old eyps and the same old
characters we know and love. Because this movie looked promising,
this movie looked fun, and apparently no one wanted to
watch it. This is a PG adventure, animated adventure, comedy, drama,
(19:22):
family fantasy sci fi sub genre alien invasion. We know
how much you love these GOO also space sci fi.
How about that? A runtime of ninety eight minutes. It's short,
but there's a little bit of a pacing issue. I
must admit. It's not all fun and games for the
full ninety eight minutes on roddy T's eighty three percent
(19:42):
from the critics, ninety percent from the audience, so those
that went and start and have seen since have enjoyed it.
A Metacritics score of sixty six. This movie's written by
thirty five people when it's directed by three. Adrian Molina,
Madeline Sharafian Domi she synopsis. L Eo, a space fanatic
with an active imagination, finds himself on a cosmic misadventure
(20:03):
where he must form new bonds with alien life forms,
navigate a crisis of intergalactic proportions, and somehow discover who
he is truly meant to be. This stars Jonis Kibriebe
as l e O Elio, Zoe Saldana as his mother,
Olga Remy Edgar Lee as Glordon Brandon Moon Is, Ambassador Helix,
Brad Garrett Guo, No, that's right, Ray romonos.
Speaker 1 (20:24):
Well, Brad Garrett is. He's an accomplished voice actor. Raymond, Yeah,
he's an accomplished voice actor, so Lord Greygan.
Speaker 2 (20:31):
And then Jamila Jamil's Ambassador Kesta Kude. This movie is
your classic story of child doesn't fit in looking for
his or her place type of thing, and then somehow
fits in more with aliens and finds his bearings on
another planet, in another galaxy, in another world. And then
the story and the adventure that takes place helps him
(20:53):
fit in back on Earth. It helps him feel more
comfortable about him hisself. So I think it's a story
that some kids really attached to and relate to. It
just wasn't as fun as an exciting and exciting as
I wanted it to be. It's enjoyable. I don't regret
watching it. I think How To Train Your Dragon is better, definitively,
(21:15):
but I still I have this at thirty Hot Dogs,
my number eighteen movie on the year. Apparently it's the
only animated movie I've watched this year. I'm severely lacking
in animated movies. But I think, like I think, if
you sat Raffi down, the visuals of this movie would
draw him in quicker. He might want to watch this
one first. But ultimately I think he would like the
live action How to Train Your Dragon more.
Speaker 1 (21:36):
He likes cartoons. He'll pick the cartoons.
Speaker 2 (21:37):
Yeah, no, I'm saying he would pick this one to
watch first.
Speaker 1 (21:40):
Let me ask you, this is how how interesting is
the animation.
Speaker 2 (21:45):
It's a lot of colors. It's a lot of colors.
There's no ground baking animation techniques or things you've never
really seen before. But there's fun, alien looking creatures, and
it's very colorful.
Speaker 1 (21:54):
I feel like Pixar recently, it's just it's too much
of the same and they don't like stretch what they're
able to do, whereas like Wrong Sony DreamWorks, all of
their animation looks different from movie to movie.
Speaker 2 (22:07):
I agree that those studios are doing it a little different.
Come every movie. Pixar is a little too much alike.
But if you're talking about colorful adventures that are gonna
keep young kids entertained, this is probably pretty good for that.
I just didn't love it. I wanted to like it
a lot more than I did. But again, this is
not intended for me, a thirty six year old white male.
(22:28):
This is intended for a young kid that maybe doesn't
fit in you know. So it is what it is.
It's it's a good movie, just maybe not necessarily for me.
I bet kids really like it though.
Speaker 1 (22:38):
All right, and let's get to the final one here.
We just finished this season of television. All of the
episodes are on Peacock all ten episodes, and that is
the paper. But like we mentioned earlier, the Peacock comedy
will gets a broadcast run starting in November.
Speaker 2 (22:57):
Yeah, that's very interesting. That tells you that a lot
of people are watching it and it's getting decent critical
success as well.
Speaker 1 (23:05):
So I think what it means is that it's getting
good critical success. People are talking about it online, and
NBC says, I think we can get a bigger audience
because not everyone subscribes to Peacock, maybe they'll watch on NBCA.
Speaker 2 (23:20):
Yeah. I think you're right, and I think it's gonna
end up doing decently well. I think people are craving
this style show, and like, if you're looking for like
a ripoff, spinoff poor Man's Office type of show, if
that's like.
Speaker 1 (23:35):
It's definitely it's a poor Man's Office, poor Man's parks
and rec.
Speaker 2 (23:38):
Yeah. Yeah, if you like parks and rec and you
like the office, this does enough good that satisfies a
little bit of that craving. It's it's honestly, you know, good.
And I talked about it a couple of weeks ago
or a week ago when we had just sort of
stuck our toes in and dabbled in a few episodes.
I think we were both surprised at how not bad.
Speaker 1 (23:56):
It was, Yes, and saying not bad is not bad
for the first season of a mockumentary show, right, Parks
and rec first season not great, The Office first season
not great. Technically, Modern Family is also a modern as
a mockumentary show. That first season's fucking dynamite. It is.
It is first three seasons of that show, first four.
Speaker 2 (24:18):
The Modern Family has become underrated in the pantheon of
great sitcoms.
Speaker 1 (24:22):
I feel like it burned real hot, and then people
as they were jumping off the broadcast television cycle, they've
just kind of forgotten about it.
Speaker 2 (24:31):
I agree.
Speaker 1 (24:31):
I bet that's going to be the next one that
gets like five hundred million or a billion dollars from
one of these streaming sites.
Speaker 2 (24:38):
Yeah, yep, ye.
Speaker 1 (24:40):
All right. So you know that documentary film crew that
followed around the.
Speaker 2 (24:44):
Office, I do remember them.
Speaker 1 (24:46):
Goo they back, and now they are following a Midwestern
newspaper that is trying to revive the news out in Ohio.
Speaker 2 (24:56):
Yeah, Toledo, Ohio. I think right that.
Speaker 1 (24:58):
Taledo Truth Tata.
Speaker 2 (25:00):
That's what it is. And goot. I think you know.
The magic of the office is most of those characters
are extremes in one personality trait or another, and they
never really go over the line. Michael Scott does a
little bit, especially in that first season, but he gets
drawn in by season two. You're flying. This show tries
(25:24):
to echo that and does a decent job. You know,
Parks and Rec obviously does a similar thing. However, what
this show has that those other two didn't is a
character that's so so far beyond even pretending to be
a real character that she nearly submarines the entire show.
Speaker 1 (25:42):
As Morelda played by Sabrina in Pacaci.
Speaker 2 (25:46):
In Paccia tore or in Paciatre.
Speaker 1 (25:50):
I felt like she was a cartoon character among semi
real people. Like obviously, everyone's a little outlandish. I would
say that they should try and make their characters a
little more different too. A lot of the people that
work in the newsroom are very very similar, but she is.
Even her motives like they just don't make any sense,
(26:13):
to the point of like, why is she still around?
None of it makes any sense.
Speaker 2 (26:17):
Dwight Shreut simpleton, weirdo. It works. He's ridiculous, but it works.
Michael Scott is seeking love, it works. Her motivation is
not good enough for her to be that ridiculous, and
I don't know, gu like, she's within five minutes you
want you want to punch your television because she's so on.
Speaker 1 (26:38):
By the seventh or eighth episode, I was skipping her scenes.
Speaker 2 (26:42):
Yeah, it's it's bad. She's really she's honestly, you know,
we talked about it a lot at length. When every
time we discussed breaking Bad there's some all time bad
characters or all time annoying characters. I should say this
is one of the worst written characters ever, ever, ever
in any show. Yep, so bad, and it's too bad
(27:02):
because there's three or four characters in this show that
pretty good, and characters I want to see more from
and see how things develop.
Speaker 1 (27:10):
My other issue, though, is that within these ten episodes,
I think things move too quickly. By the end of
this season, they start up by just figuring out how
to be reporters. By the end of the season, they're
already winning awards and they're already starting these office romances.
Speaker 2 (27:27):
The One Real Reporter won an award well, no, but
they also won for newspaper and like so they won
a couple of the Real People won the Real Awards.
Speaker 1 (27:37):
I feel like it moved too quickly. That would have
been something that, like a nice multi season arc of
building up to that. That would have been nice. There
are two or three episodes that I do really like
in this. I like them trying to write stories while
being paid for like a product, so you're trying to say, oh,
we're not being paid for this, like so that was decent.
There was also the whole thing with them trying to
(27:59):
write a story that their parent company is trying to
cover up. That's a fun little thing too there. It
would have been nice if in this newsroom you had
some extremes of like someone who's completely left or completely right,
where they're trying to get their information out there and
then the editor is trying to keep them, you know,
(28:19):
inside the reins, like this is almost it's almost too safe.
And what they're doing, I get.
Speaker 2 (28:25):
What you're saying, and you know, wrapping up the story
the way they did at the end of season one
and playing it on the safer side. I wonder is
because they nothing was guaranteed after a season. Yeah, right,
so I think they wanted to be a little clean.
Speaker 1 (28:40):
With and also like they weren't offending anybody, and like
the Office, the Office went out there some times and
you know, maybe not was like in your face offensive,
but in the way that it was so cringey it
would offend people.
Speaker 2 (28:54):
Yeah, yeah, no, you're right about that. I gotta I
want to highlight a couple of characters though. I liked Adam,
the one that came over from the toilet paper company.
He's like, he's dumb, stupid and ridiculous, but never like
crosses the line into absurdity. He's really good. And then
uh the uh is it Detric I'm trying to I
(29:18):
see this is this is the issue with the show.
Speaker 1 (29:21):
I know John Hill Gleason is I know who as
Morelda And then the blonde one.
Speaker 2 (29:30):
Yeah she's from Massachusetts by the way, Oh shout out. Yeah,
I'm butchering this this character's name. But I think it's
good enough and it's free, you know, if you have
peacock and it will become an NBC. I think it's
worth a watch to let us know how you feel
about it. There's obviously there's passionate Office fans. Two of
them are sitting here right now and us as massive
(29:51):
Office fans weren't offended by the spinoff. I'll put it
that way. It was it was good enough.
Speaker 1 (29:56):
That's exactly. It was good enough. I think it's good
enough to when season two comes out, I will watch.
If by the end of season two we're at the
same place like how I feel about it, or it's lower,
I'll probably jump ship.
Speaker 2 (30:09):
I also liked the the blogger influencer, like just pressing,
you know, and then they go back and forth, they hit,
They hit on a couple decent notes that like has
actually happened in real life.
Speaker 1 (30:22):
So Mac, your wash is done?
Speaker 2 (30:25):
No, that was my drier thing.
Speaker 1 (30:26):
Oh that's your dryer. Sorry about that camera. Also, while
I don't love the character the British fella with the
gray hair, ye him responding to all mass emails killed me.
Speaker 2 (30:40):
See. The fix to this show is they need to
take es morel to elp back the way they did
with Mark in Parks and Red and then have.
Speaker 1 (30:49):
But British guy. Did you leave him alone?
Speaker 2 (30:53):
Have the British guy take over that that you just
need him there doing it. You don't need him and
her It was too much.
Speaker 1 (30:59):
You know what's crazy is that in Parks and rec.
I didn't mind Mark Brandanowitz. But then when you were
shown the alternative of Adam Scott and Rob Low, you're lame. Wow.
Speaker 2 (31:09):
Same way Wow. First time through I didn't mind Mark
at all. Yeah. Then by like the tenth time, I'm like, yeah,
Mark does suck.
Speaker 1 (31:16):
Wow. Yeah, check it out if you if you got
the time, give it a give it a googs. Let's
get into Mac sack Man. Mac sack could be anything,
It could be a boat, and Mac as a gentleman
(31:37):
pushing fifty years old.
Speaker 2 (31:38):
We are closer to fifty than we are twenty.
Speaker 1 (31:41):
I have created because it is sept tier ber I
created a tier of all and you can help me.
You're gonna tier things that I do that is it
old or is it just goo?
Speaker 2 (31:57):
Okay?
Speaker 1 (31:58):
At the top tier it is is methusela rookie card.
Speaker 4 (32:02):
Whoa matthusl a rookie.
Speaker 1 (32:04):
Card number two is older than George Burns.
Speaker 5 (32:08):
Look at the store clerk, she's older than George Burns.
Speaker 1 (32:11):
Then you go to old balls, old ball, follow that
up with like not that old.
Speaker 3 (32:19):
But well, I guess this is growing up.
Speaker 1 (32:23):
And then finally it's not old. You're not being old,
You're just weird.
Speaker 2 (32:28):
Be weird.
Speaker 1 (32:30):
So Mac, we will go ahead and go through these
things that I do pretty much in my everyday life,
and you tell me where it tears.
Speaker 2 (32:39):
I'm gonna have a hard time differentiating between the top
three tiers here.
Speaker 1 (32:42):
That's fine because they're all pretty similar. The first one
up here is early to bed, early to rise.
Speaker 2 (32:50):
I guess this is growing up. That's where i'd put that.
Speaker 3 (32:53):
Well, I guess this is growing up.
Speaker 1 (32:55):
So that's not an old thing. That's just you.
Speaker 2 (32:57):
You're you're growing up. Yeah, you're an adult, you got responsibilities,
you know. It just is what it is.
Speaker 1 (33:02):
I listened to music through YouTube.
Speaker 2 (33:06):
Yeah, this is this is I feel like that's a
really old thing. Put it somewhere in the top three.
Speaker 1 (33:12):
Pick one. You gotta pick one.
Speaker 2 (33:14):
Like when my dad sends me songs. He's not sending
me Apple Music or Spotify, He's sending me YouTube links.
Speaker 1 (33:20):
So which one?
Speaker 2 (33:21):
Uh, old old ball?
Speaker 1 (33:25):
I begun to steep my own coffee.
Speaker 2 (33:28):
Okay, that's not old, it's just weird. It's just weird.
Speaker 1 (33:32):
Weird, it's just good.
Speaker 2 (33:34):
Good is like when people are super into coffee making,
espresso making, and teammaking. I don't think a you're old,
You're just weird.
Speaker 1 (33:43):
I'm not doing it to be into coffee. I'm doing
it to save money.
Speaker 2 (33:47):
Yeah, it's still weird.
Speaker 1 (33:49):
All right? Fine, perusing Facebook Marketplace.
Speaker 2 (33:53):
I do this now more often than i'd like to admit.
Speaker 1 (33:56):
Fuck you, yes, I knew it.
Speaker 2 (34:02):
My mom also peruses Marketplace all the time. That doesn't
help my argument at all. I would say this is
growing up, and I don't say. I wouldn't say it's weird.
So you place it somewhere on the top there.
Speaker 1 (34:12):
No, you gotta tell me you're in charge of this tear.
Speaker 2 (34:14):
Well, if you're what's called a fusel rookie card.
Speaker 4 (34:18):
Whoa myst is a little rookie card?
Speaker 1 (34:21):
All right? Next one up here is just still having
a Facebook.
Speaker 4 (34:25):
Mmm.
Speaker 2 (34:26):
It's almost because we were ahead of the time. We
had them before the adults. But now people our age,
don't you. I only use Facebook for marketplace now, yeah,
or to remember someone's birthday.
Speaker 1 (34:39):
So what is it?
Speaker 2 (34:40):
I guess this is growing up?
Speaker 3 (34:42):
Well, I guess this is growing up.
Speaker 1 (34:44):
My memory is bad.
Speaker 2 (34:46):
My short term memory is horrible, horrible. If it doesn't
go into my calendar or a note app, I have
no idea, what's happened or what should be happening, or
where I should be showing up older than George Burns.
Speaker 5 (34:59):
Look at the store, she's older than George Burns.
Speaker 1 (35:03):
My memory is all of this stuff in this podcast,
all the dumb shit that I know. That's all I have.
Speaker 2 (35:10):
Actually, I don't even remember most of the things I
say on this podcast.
Speaker 1 (35:13):
I don remember anything that I say on this podcast.
I'm saying fun facts that I bring to the table
on this podcast. But then people will tell me stuff
from my life and I'm like, wait a second, that
doesn't sound like me.
Speaker 2 (35:23):
I didn't say that. It is.
Speaker 1 (35:26):
I sneeze loudly.
Speaker 2 (35:28):
Not all just weird, bit weird.
Speaker 1 (35:31):
I get mad at my neighbors when they don't bring
their barrels in.
Speaker 2 (35:35):
Yeah, especially in your neighborhood's street, parking is the utmost
of importance. But sometimes like if you bring it out
in the morning, you might not be home till six
o'clock at night. You can't bring them in, you know.
For me, I work at twenty four hour shift. To
put them out in the morn, I can't bring them
back to the next morning. I know. For facts, Sometimes
my neighbor brings mine back so that he can park
where the trash cans are. So old boss, old boss,
(36:01):
old ball.
Speaker 1 (36:03):
Well, so what I see sometimes from my neighbors is
the cans are empty, and they'll move them out of
the way so they can leave their driveway. They don't
put them back, They leave them on the sidewalk. They
just move them out of the way.
Speaker 2 (36:17):
I think the ideas you're supposed to leave them at
the end of your driveway, but almost no one does that.
Speaker 1 (36:21):
No, it's always on the sidewalk or on the curb,
or on the street or something. I talk about the
weather a lot.
Speaker 2 (36:29):
It's important. M h, it's important.
Speaker 1 (36:31):
It's an easy conversation starter. When I don't know somebody,
I'm like, well.
Speaker 2 (36:34):
I guess I guess this is growing up.
Speaker 3 (36:36):
Well, I guess this is growing up.
Speaker 1 (36:38):
How about that heat? The humidity is crazy right now.
It did rain the other day, so that's kind of helping.
Speaker 2 (36:43):
Out right right.
Speaker 1 (36:48):
I think about my own mortality and the mortality of
my loved ones quite a bit.
Speaker 2 (36:53):
I don't I haven't gotten there yet. So I'll say
older than George Burns on that one.
Speaker 5 (36:58):
Look at the store clerks, she's older than George Burnes.
Speaker 1 (37:01):
I grown a lot when getting up.
Speaker 2 (37:09):
Uh Uh. They could go into any of the five categories.
Speaker 1 (37:14):
Any of them. I'm gonna ask you to pick one, though,
I don't think it's that weird.
Speaker 2 (37:17):
So let's go with Methusela.
Speaker 1 (37:20):
Who Mastu is a little rookie card out of nowhere.
I love the taste of lemons.
Speaker 2 (37:27):
I like, no, that's weird, not old, just weird weird.
Speaker 1 (37:32):
You'ven't developed a taste for lemons yet.
Speaker 2 (37:35):
I could tolerate lemons. I like them. I like them
squeezing it over my pad time.
Speaker 1 (37:39):
Yeah, as a kid, I didn't care for lemons at all.
Now I'm like, I like a nice routine.
Speaker 2 (37:47):
M this is growing up.
Speaker 3 (37:49):
Well, I guess this is growing up.
Speaker 2 (37:51):
Having a routine. Getting to wake up at the same
times is nice.
Speaker 1 (37:55):
Like even when I'm on vacation for too long, I'm like,
I kind of missed my routine.
Speaker 2 (37:58):
Yeah, I don't kind of this vacation.
Speaker 1 (38:01):
We've been here for three days. I think we've had enough.
I think I'm shorter.
Speaker 2 (38:10):
Uh, George Burns.
Speaker 5 (38:13):
Look at the store clerks. She's older than George Burns.
Speaker 1 (38:16):
I swear, And like, cause you're telling me. Doctors have
messaged me about this when I claimed that one of
our friends grew two inches at the age of thirty five.
Apparently not a possibility. The only other thing would be
like I'm getting.
Speaker 2 (38:31):
Shorter, yeah, which is more likely.
Speaker 1 (38:34):
We were the same height my entire life, and suddenly
I'm looking up at him. Unless hole think about this.
Speaker 2 (38:41):
Maybe he's been laying on one of those boards that
flips you upside down.
Speaker 1 (38:44):
Well, either that or he bought two horses and then
he ties his hands to one side and his feet
to the other, and the horse is running opposite directions.
Speaker 2 (38:52):
You wouldn't want four horses for four directions. Maximize it.
Speaker 1 (38:55):
That seems like a waste of money. You only need
two horses.
Speaker 2 (38:58):
I don't know. I think I might.
Speaker 1 (39:00):
I'm trying to become a fucking gumby. You just try
to be taller. Let's go on too. I say my
goodness after I yawn mm hmm.
Speaker 2 (39:14):
It's pretty old of you. Uh mathuselo rookie card.
Speaker 4 (39:21):
Oh, mosta is a little rookie card.
Speaker 1 (39:24):
It's fucking weird. And I try and catch myself every time.
But I'll give a big yawn and then just say
my goodness. And then finally I call all kids big dog.
Speaker 2 (39:41):
That's not an old thing, that's just weird, weird.
Speaker 1 (39:45):
It isn't even just kids. I don't know. I call
my nieces and afews big dog. I call my son
big dog sometimes big dog. Hey, big dog, get over here.
What are you doing over there, big dog? Oh it's up,
big dog.
Speaker 2 (40:01):
Everyone always has that, that crutch word they fall on
in yours is big dog.
Speaker 1 (40:05):
All right? So according to Mac and things that make
Goo old, let's start at the bottom. Not that old,
just weird. He has steeping his own coffee, weird sneezing loudly,
loving lemons, and calling children big dog. In the category
(40:29):
of well, I guess this is growing up. I still
have a Facebook. I talk about weather a lot, I
love routines, and I peruse Facebook marketplace. Is that what
that means?
Speaker 2 (40:40):
No? No, you're early to bed and you're up early.
Speaker 1 (40:42):
Oh that's right, early to bed, early to rise. In
the category of old ball. Zip your lip or I'll
break your hip, old man river. I listen to music
through YouTube and I get upset. Not upset. I don't
cry about it, but I get I get miffed when
my neighbors don't bring their barrels.
Speaker 2 (41:03):
In myft is a good word.
Speaker 1 (41:05):
I look that word all right now. In the category of.
Speaker 5 (41:08):
Look at the store clerks. He's older than George Burns.
Speaker 1 (41:11):
I have terrible memory. I think about mine and my
family's mortality a bit too much, and I think I'm
getting shorter.
Speaker 2 (41:19):
Yeah, older than George Burns.
Speaker 1 (41:21):
And then finally, who still is a little rookie card?
The amount of time I spend perusing Facebook Marketplace, groaning
while getting up and saying, oh my goodness after I yawn.
Speaker 2 (41:36):
Look at that. Another fantastic tear done by Mac and Goo.
Speaker 1 (41:41):

Speaker 1 (42:22):

to be back on Tuesday. Maybe look that probably jewel ish.
Maybe we'll just we'll we'll pull the guys from South
Park and just be like episode wasn't ready my bad?
And you know what I think that is?
Speaker 3 (42:37):
Well, I guess this is growing up.
Speaker 1 (42:40):
That's what Parker and Stone said to each other.
Speaker 2 (42:42):
Yeah, all the time.
Speaker 1 (42:46):
That's what they always say to each other. It's weird.
You know what I like is when Adam Sandler threatens
the old guy that you know, I'll break your hip,
and then he has quietly says to himself, like to
see you try.
Speaker 6 (42:56):
Yeah, the biggest mistake you've ever made is old white
body and loose skin, old balls.
Speaker 2 (43:10):
I watched Big Dada the other day. It's on television
the other day.
Speaker 1 (43:12):
Would you say it's just last classic? Ummmm, obviously mister
Deeds came after it.
Speaker 2 (43:18):
That's border Deeds is borderline click is borderline.
Speaker 1 (43:22):
Click's not a classic Sandler though, I get, but it's
like two thousand and five, six or seven.
Speaker 2 (43:28):
Kate Beckettill's great and that movie makes me. Do you
know what ry?
Speaker 1 (43:31):
It might be? Pre and post anger management?
Speaker 2 (43:34):
Yeah, spanglish and Angler angle. Anger Management was spanglish Spangler management.
Speaker 1 (43:39):
Spangler management.
Speaker 2 (43:40):
Anger management made me angry.
Speaker 1 (43:43):
And then, don't get me wrong, I love that's my boy.
But would you call it a Sandler classic?
Speaker 2 (43:48):
No? But I'm like, I'm thinking classic like Last Last Bastion,
last great effort and the way we talk about Will
Ferrell in the early twenty tens. Click might be the
last one. Click might be the last one?
Speaker 1 (44:00):
What is that? Dultay and Gabana? No, it's a fucking
hefty bag gets me every time, Happy tissue sad tissues,
jerking off to the gram.
Speaker 2 (44:09):
What's uh? The love interest in Big Daddy?
Speaker 1 (44:12):
Big Daddy was what's her name? From Chasing Amy?
Speaker 2 (44:16):
Mm hmmig of her?
Speaker 1 (44:18):
Joey Adams, right, Joey Lawn Adams. Yes, there we go.
We should do we should do a blind ranking of
just trying to figure out people's names.
Speaker 2 (44:26):
Do you want to tear Saidler co stars next week?
Speaker 1 (44:28):
I'll let you do that alone. I'm not getting canceled.
I'm not here to get canceled. I'm not here to
say things that are offensive. And you know what I
say that.
Speaker 3 (44:38):
Is, well, I guess this is growing up.
