(00:00):
Max sense, we have no newsdumps planned in the coming future. Bit
of a ten bitt drop today.Oh really, Yes, the Wolverine suit
has been leaked per se by RyanReynolds on the Instagram and it is glorious.

(00:21):
Could be better, thought, itcould be better. I do have
a question, So do you likeI'm assuming that there's some kind of a
padding in the chest and the abdominalregion. Would you rather just have it
be a skin tight suit? I'mfine with the skin tight suit. I
don't like that it has sleeves numberone, Okay, I also missed the
blue like underwear part to it.So I'm gonna show you my Wolverine figurine

(00:45):
here. Sas not showing quite well, but that's what I wanted to look
like, like exactly, like that, like straight out of the nineties cartoon.
Now it's it basically is inspired bythat suit. So it's still a
pretty good suit. Um, Ijust wanted a little a little more blue,
a brighter blue, and I wantlike the cutoffs up here. I
don't want yea. So we bothagree that we don't want Evan Fournier out

(01:07):
there with his sleeves. Yeah,exactly. But I also think that if
we see the hood mask upon hisface, it might come at us a
little bit quicker, it might looka little bit better. Yeah. So
that's the one thing we still don'tknow is if he's actually gonna don a
mask or not. Um. Ithink it would be super cool to see
that mask with live action, becausethey've tried to um do his hair up

(01:33):
to sort of echo the mask,and you see that a little bit in
the cartoon as well. Um,but I would love to see him with
a mask. Yeah, just threeKing of Queen Street Entertainment. Yeah,

(02:05):
Goo man, and we are theMac and Goo program. We bring you
friendship. Yeah, and today webring you action action. Yeah, because
we have saction. Yes. Wehave compiled our lists of our top ten
Thomas Map a third movies, andI'll tell you right now, although I

(02:28):
did try and squeeze in, youknow, more roles where he shows a
little more range actions, really whereit's at. Yeah. He of course
we're talking about Tom Cruise, TommyMaps. If you didn't know who he
was referring to their top ten TomCruise movies. It's interesting to compare his
career to two of his contemporaries,Denzel Washington and Tom Hanks, and how

(02:50):
all three have sort of how allof their careers have sort of like played
out here, because Denzel and TomCruise essentially just play themselves in every movie
and have for the last twenty years. But Tom Hanks is like still doing
character acting, you know what Imean, He's got he's gotten worse at
it somehow, he's not as goodas he was. And interestingly enough,
too, Tom Cruise only has fortyseven acting credits at IMDBAN. Now that

(03:14):
might sound for a lot like alot, but someone that's been doing it
for forty years, it's really notthat much, especially considering Denzel's got sixty
and Tom Hanks has almost one hundred. So it's it's interesting to weigh the
career the careers of those three actors. Yeah, but Cruise, his publicists,
his agent, whoever is, youknow, taking on these roles.

(03:35):
They do a great job at pickingTom Cruise movies. Yeah, Tom cruise
e roles. Yeah, and it'sinteresting to think about too. I think
Denzel has a lot of people's favoriteactor. I think Tom Hanks has a
lot of people's favorite actor. Idon't know if Tom Cruise is anyone's favorite
actor, but I think everyone likesTom Cruise, and today's shirt is inspired
by Tom Cruise. Of course.Yes, we have to give credit where

(03:58):
credit is due, and our reviewof the latest Mission Impossible movie will be
out this week, Dead Reckoning Partone. Yes, he has completely altered
the way you have to shoot runningin movies because he does it so well,
he does it so great, andit's also it makes Ezra Miller look
even worse every time. Well,I even said to you, it makes
sense to me why Tom Cruise likedthe Flash so much, because all it

(04:21):
is is running, and he doeshe loves running, not stop running.
Yeah, and also just a quickheads up, Dead Reckoning will not be
on this top ten because it hasnot come out yet technically not out yet,
So this is a top ten inpreparation for a Mission Impossible, Dead
Reckoning, Dead Reckoning heads up,It probably would have or it might have

(04:41):
snuck in in the back end niceor just missed out. Yeah, if
you're looking for a tease for thatmovie, it's a great action movie.
I don't think it's the best MissionImpossible movie. I might make it into
my top four, might be numberfour. As far as Mission possible movies
go, but it's it's on thesame level as the last like three or
four, so it's it's not adisappointment. So without further ragou Go Go

(05:05):
Power rankings. These are macin Goo'spower rankings. Nice so Max sent me
a list of fifteen. I hada list of fifteen. I put those
together and compiled and made this topten. At number ten is a cameo
and that is from twenty oh eightTropic Thunder. Yeah. I had a

(05:27):
hard time placing this one on thelist because it probably deserves to be higher
based on how much we like thismovie. But it's not a Tom Cruise
movie. No, but it's soagainst what he is, and he might
be having the most fun in thisrole than any other role. Yeah,
No, I think that's a thousandpercent true. I just so the nine.

(05:50):
I actually ranked this tenth on mylist. Same here anyway, the
nine I have ahead of it,or like total Tom Cruise movies to a
thousand per sense. I just hada hard time pushing this above that.
But I actually really liked that TropicThunder comes in at numbers. So.
Also, he had a great cameoin Gold Member. Let us not forget

(06:10):
that he played Austin Power in themovie version in the movie, and then
also he needs more credit for thisis that Ben Stiller famously does a Tom
Cruise impression. Tom Cruise did nothold this against the Ben Stiller directed movie,
and he still made this movie.Yeah. No, Tom Cruise is
phenomenal in this movie. It's totallyunexpected and was totally unexpected at the time

(06:33):
as well. It's interesting to thinktoo, like, you know, talking
at the beginning about how his careerhas played out, he didn't really I
think he was in a few moviesin the early eighties, but didn't really
pop into a risky business, whichwas eighty three, and then Top Gun
sort of turned him into Tom Cruisethat was eighty six. But we don't
get to see many of these rolesfrom Tom Cruise or really any anything where

(06:56):
he's like being zany or not havebeen a comedy. Just do a comedy?
Why not? I would like tosee Tom Cruise in another comedy someday.
All right, Mac at number eight, because we have a tie at
eight with two and keep Mac.I might have when we first made the
list, we might have had afour way tie for six and I said,
that's ridiculous. Let me fix somethings around, because come on,

(07:18):
it's a dope six back. No, that is just a ridiculous thing of
there were so many ties. I'mlike, because we essentially had the same
ten movies just jumbled around. Okay, got so at number eight is Edge
of Tomorrow or as you might knowit, Live Die Repeat. I had
it at five, you had itat eleven, a ninety one percent on

(07:40):
Rotten Tomatoes. Yeah, this moviesurprised a lot of people. This,
of course, is the Emily BluntTom Cruise Groundhog Day scenarios. I love
groundhogs. I really liked the movie. I had eleventh on my list.
I just feel like I don't loveit, and a lot of people love
this. This is such a radaction sci fi movie. Emily Blunt makes
this movie though Tom Cruises, NoTom Cruise, Okay, look so,

(08:01):
and it's Tom Cruise. Characters areall fairly similar. It's just the degree
of tech that he's working with.Well, this he's a little he's a
little more weasily in this movie,and you don't really see that out of
him in other movies. So Iwill I will give him credit for them.
Do you prefer him to be Weasilyor Assholy. No, I like
assholely Tom. I like assholely overWeasily too. That's a good point.

(08:22):
Yeah, for sure. I thinkmaybe why I bumped this down when I'm
looking at Tom Cruise movies is becauseI do feel like Emily Blunt makes this
movie all right. Also, tiedwith this at number eight is more of
an assholy Tom Cruise, and thatis rain Man a eighty nine on Rotten
Tomatoes. Yeah, I had thisat five, so that means you had

(08:43):
it at eleven, right, Ibelieve you had it at seven. I
had it at nine. No,I had it at five. Well,
then bump it up, I guesswhoops? Oh well, yeah, this
is one of the first Tom Cruisemovies. I actually watched ya. Obviously,
this is a classically great movie.I think Dustin Hoffman one best actor
for this movie. So this isone of those movies they show you in

(09:05):
school sometimes early on, that thattype of sort of thing. And this
is I've loved this movie for aslong as I can remember. Now again,
I guess you can use your ownmy own argument against me. Dustin
Hoffman makes this movie. This isall serfect foil. This also shows off
Cruise being amazing in that leading rolebut supporting the other actor, because this

(09:26):
isn't the only movie where the otheractor in the movie got either an Academy
Award or a nomination. Yeah,maybe the Dustin Hofman maybe went best supporting.
I don't know who would have gotthe lead in this, right,
I believe that the self centered assholeTom Cruise, you know, also a
little bit of heart. This isI think this is really where he shines
No. One hundred percent, andit's it's eerily similar to the way we

(09:50):
perceive him in real life. Howhe's likable but a total asshole. That's
what he comes off as. ButRainman is a great movie. I don't
know anyone that would watch Rainman andnot like so that might be number five.
It depends on how you want tolook at the list, because I
did the math wrong. Oh,Classic Mac tied at number six. We
have Collateral that I had at eight, you had at number seven, and

(10:13):
Jerry Maguire that I had at sevenand you had at number eight. How
about that. That's a nice littlegrouping rate there. Yeah, let's talk
about Collateral first. Villainous Tom Cruise. Yes, I think Collateral it was
the biggest surprise for me out ofall Tom Cruise movies when I watched it,
because I didn't expect it to beas good as it is. And
of course Jamie Foxx is great too, But Tom Cruil's Tom Cruise in that

(10:37):
villainous Tom Cruil's in this movie,him in this villainous, super high asshole
role. Yeah, he's actually downrightscary in this movie. He's truly intimidating.
I know that he right now isin his own personal algorithm of like
this is how we make a perfectmovie, because although they might not be

(11:01):
his best, he's like he's doingperfect exciting action movie stuff right now.
Yeah, for sure, But Iwould love him to take another swing at
something like this. The aura,the glow around this character in this movie,
it's just so fucking good. Thatmovie is great, really underrated.
And then also at six or atseven, I don't know how you want

(11:22):
to look at our our ratings noware out the window. These are ten
Tom Cruise movies that we like.Y McGuire, so it's eighty four percent
on Roddy. T's one of thebest sports movies of all time. One
of the best rom coms of alltime. Yeah, Jerry m McGuire is
really good. It's probably the oneTom Cruise movie that everyone can agree that

(11:45):
they like, even though I MAyou complete me. You had me at
Hello, so quotable, it's instantlyrecognizable to show me the money, it's
just a it's it's a downright fundman Huba one an Academy Award, Yeah,
super watchable two. It's one that'sbeen on cable TV a million times.
Everyone's seen Jerry McGuire. Everyone likesJerry McGuire. It's not my favorite,

(12:07):
but I had to give it aSTU. What did I put it
at? You had it at eight? I hadded at eight, Yeah,
which sounds about yes, at numberfive on the list. Each of us
had it at four. Really themost. It's not the most unique because
he does a lot of action scifi, but the concept of this movie
is so fucking dope, and thatis minority report. I fucking lot this

(12:28):
movie. Yes, I'm so gladthat you like it as much as I
do, because I recognize that I'mdefinitely higher on this than most people,
and maybe I'm lower on Edge ofTomorrow. To compare those two Minority point.
By the way, Colin Farrell isalso amazing, amazing cast, and
it's Steven Spielberg. Yeah, it'sit's just the premise is great with the
precogs and arresting cast before they commitcrimes, and then and then he's so

(12:50):
into it and it's like, ohwait, no, you right, and
then he has to run. That'sgood, It's so good. And this
was sort of I think this andMission Impossible three might have come out in
the same year or within like sixmonths of each other something like that.
So this is what I really grewto like actually love Tom Cruise. Was
this and Mission Impossible three. Allright, Mac, let's jump into the

(13:13):
Mount Rushmore. And if you're askingme what that is, fucking rate a
book, dude, fucking we havea tie at three. Oh bang,
we have your number one and mynumber one, meaning that the six is
on the opposite end of that.Your number one is a few good men.
Yes. So this, I think, out of all of the movies

(13:33):
that Tom Cruise has been in,I think it's objectively and easily the best
actual like film on this list.He's also fucking phenomenal in it, as
like this young upstart lawyer for theNavy. Of course we all remember you
can't handle the truth in the courtroomfrom Jack Nicholson. One of the most
I would say. I was thinkingabout this as I was making the list

(13:54):
yesterday. Do you think that linedelivered by Jack Nicholson, Now it's not
guess credits to Tom Cruise, Yeah, but do you think that line is
a top five line in cinema history. That's an amazing line. And then
there's a line in this too thatyou say in the restaurant constantly, like
whenever you're out getting food, Andthat's I ordered the code read that this

(14:18):
movie is intense to me. Moreis great too. Incredible cast, really
really good premise, an absolute bangerof a cast. And so we're getting
Barbie in a couple of weeks.Obviously not a lot, you know,
going back and forth with these two, but just thinking of like amazing casts
in movies. This might be oneof the best. Yeah, it's definitely

(14:39):
out there. And you know thisis interesting. When I made my list,
my top four I put on thereimmediately, and then I was kind
of playing with the idea of whatwas going to be by number one.
And I think because the other onesare more action heavy, and even though
that is more of a tom So, I was also holding some of that
against the other movies too, becauseyeah, like he has so many great

(15:00):
action movies, and like I saidearlier, it's just like the degrees of
how much tech he has in it, how much he leans into being an
asshole a little bit more like yousaid, weasily. So, there's a
lot of really good action movies here. Yeah, And I think that's why
I ended up with a few goodMen as my number one time. A
Few Good Men, Collateral, JerryMaguire, Rain Men. I think they
all got bumped a little bit becauseof it. I agree with you because

(15:22):
they're not like most other Tom Cruisemovies. And then my number one you
had it at six is Top GunMaverick, and I think I have it
at number one because I think Cruisehad the most to do with this movie
and its success. I understand whyyou would put this number one. I
feel like that means you're saying it'sa forty dog movie, and I wouldn't

(15:43):
do no. I had it hadlike thirty five or thirty I'd had like
thirty six. But the reason whyI would put it above say a couple
of Mission Impossible movies that might youknow, have more hot dogs. I'm
you know, it's still two MissionImpossible movies. So like a lot of
the Mission Impossible movies are great.What he did with Top Gun Maverick is
he took so the original Top Guncame out in eighty six, and I'm

(16:07):
not a huge fan of that movie. No, I don't really like that
movie. And then he took thatconcept and made an amazing theater experience.
You are you didn't see it intheaters if you didn't really like, but
I think it might have changed youropinion a little bit. Yeah, you
know, that's actually a good argumentas to why you put a number one,
because of well when it came andhow when it came these changed our

(16:32):
views the year in which it cametoo, because of the fact that,
you know, we just got backto the theater. And I don't want
to knock marble movies, but it'sa lot of CGI, it's a lot
of fake stuff. This movie broughtyou right back into feeling like you're in
a plane. Yeah, no,that that movie's a great ride. And
to compare a Maverick to Mission Impossible. Dead Reckoning Part one, the most

(16:56):
recent one, the one we'll betalking about at the end of the week.
What Dead Reckoning lacks is the Iguess, beat for beat pace that
Maverick has, Like you're fully investedin Maverick the whole time, whereas Dead
Reckoning it's a little bit of anup and down, like, all right,
this is a ton of action,but I'm not really invested in what's
going on in the screen. Yeah, the story is, and it's a

(17:19):
lot like this one too. Thestory in Top Gun Maverick in Dead Reckoning
is it's super simplified for anyone tofollow, so you do need those action
beats to really pull you along.But I feel like Tom Cruise is just
so much more likable in Maverick,Like he's so magnetic in that movie that

(17:41):
you're just along for the ride withhim, literally a plane ride. I
think why I had it at sixas opposed to the five above it,
especially the two Mission Impossible movies thatwere about to get to the legacy that's
being carried on in this movie,or the characters that are playing into it,
I don't care as much about.I guess it's probably why I bumped
it down a little, all right, Mac before we get to our tie

(18:03):
for number one, because like Isaid, ties, that's what we do.
Let's get some honorable mentions. MissionImpossible Fallout just missed the list.
Yeah, this is the one thatcame out twenty eighteen. I believe with
him. If you don't know whichone it is, Henry Cavill, Yeah,
the double cocked cock in your Handsis the coolest thing. And think
of what I just said, cockin your Hands is the coolest thing in

(18:26):
the world. Cock in your Handsis elite. It's it's that movie is
a blast. I just have ita tier below my two favorite. Mission
Impossible, a movie that I hadjust outside of my top ten. One
that I don't think you've seen isa super cheesy movie from nineteen eighty eight,
and it's also his lowest rated onRotten Tomatoes, with a nine percent.

(18:48):
Cocktail. Yeah, I have notseen Cocktail. I probably will never
see Cocktail, but sure it's it'son here and on Cocktail is just super
eighties tom Cruise and it's amazing.I have oddly made references to Cocktail even
though I haven't seen it. ThereI have. I made a little peek
behind the curtain here. I madea photoshop, a cocktail photoshop based on

(19:08):
a coworker of mine. So atsjust outside of that top ten. We
both had it in our top fifteen. And you might say this is a
classic Tom Cruise movie, and Ithink it's super memorable with its scenes,
and Rotten Tomatoes has it at ninetytwo. But Risky Business, Risky Business
is a really good movie. Idon't love it a favorite. I don't

(19:30):
love it. I don't love it, but it's it's a really good movie.
Yeah, it's a quintessential eighties movieas well. It's just neither of
our favorite. Shout out to MartinScorsese with the Color of Money. Oh
yeah, he's like a supporting characterin that. Actually, Paul Newman,
I believe, Yeah that's Paul Newman. Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah.
You didn't have this one on yourlist. But legend Tom Cruise is like

(19:52):
a prince and he goes up againstdarkness Tim Curry, who was essentially the
devil. Oh, I've not seenthat. Nineteen eighty five. It's pretty
good. So it's forty one onRotten Teas. But you know, okay,
enjoyable, Yes, yes, youcan say, also, you had
War of the Worlds, which Ithink just didn't meet expectations. Sure,
I think when that movie came outit was a little bit of a disappointment

(20:18):
for some I liked the movie,but I had it at fifteen, just
at the back end of the list. Mission Impossible three. Yeah, So
the Mission Impossible three to me isnot nearly the best Mission Impossible, but
it was the first one that sortof took the series seriously because the second
one, if you remember, hasTandy Newton and it's sort of bondish with
the way they treat his character.And then the third one, you know,

(20:40):
he's married to Michelle Monaghan or Ibelieve maybe the third one is where
he meets Michelle Money. I forget, but this is the film at Seymour
Hoffman won. This one's really reallygood, just not my favorite Mission Impossible
and then two shout outs here didnot make the honorables, and I might
even call them dishonorable for different reasons. But a movie that I would always

(21:00):
try and stay up late for butdidn't really have any new detay or anything
that got me going. And that'seyes wide shut. Yeah, Nicole Kidman.
Yeah, because you always saw that. You're like, oh, this
is on Cinemax later, I'm gonnawatch this, and then you watch You're
like, why am I watching this? Yeah? What am I looking at?
No? Thank you? And thenalso Jack Reacher, which I think

(21:21):
puts the most shine or spotlight onthe fact that he's not a big man,
but they try and make him looktall so often, and it's so
annoying and it's so distracting. Andthe fans of the books hate that fucking
movie because they change the character tomake it more Tom cruisish instead of keeping
to the lore and the books.I also want to mention, is it

(21:45):
is Eyes Wide Shut the Kubrick Oneor is that Vanilla Sky? Eyes Wide
Shut? Is the Kubrick One?Vanilla Sky has Jason Lee in it and
Penelope Cruz. Should we start listingactors that we think? Is this our
immaculate grid I MDB. I've alreadytweeted this out, make us our acting
movie? How have they not maculated? They already have all the fucking information

(22:07):
on their website, no sense whatsoever. So if you don't know what you
and I are talking about right now, there's a website out there called immaculate
grid dot com And it's a threeby three square and essentially it's just baseball.
Yes, you have to name aplayer that's played for both teams or
name a player that's done a statfor that team. Yes, and it's
incredibly addicting for Goo and I anda few other friends that are have stupid,
useless baseball knowledge going back twenty thirtyyears. Yes, and they also

(22:32):
have crossover grids with the NBA,NFL, and HL. Those aren't as
fun, No, because well becausewe're not as good at them. Um
speaking, the acting one, whatwe're describing here is same thing. You
would have a three by three andyou would name it, would have a
movie or two movies, and you'dhave to name the actor that was in
both. Or you'd have it.You've an actor on the side, you

(22:52):
have a movie on the top.It's like, hey, name me an
actor that's worked with this actor andis also in this in that movie.
You could do that and or youcould listen. Award one an award,
they won a BAFTA. It's sittingright there. That's essentially like asking who
had three thousand strikeouts for the ClevelandIndians. Oh my god, that was
a tough one. I just ateit. I'm like, give me the

(23:14):
I only had the one answer.Give me cc Sabathia saying for the Twins,
I young. I had a greatday yesterday. I had my thirty
two score. So I'm like,okay, let me just get my nine
and I'll move on to tomorrow.But I did. I'm so proud.
I'm not even proud because this hasbeen in my back pocket for a couple
of weeks. I've been waiting forRed Sox and Twins and I got to
use butch Husky use notice Nixon.Ohis Nixon's good? But I'm also a

(23:36):
lower percentage than I'm also uh lowerthan point zero four percent. Yeah,
I think it was. I thinkI had point zero one. I notice
Nixon. I could be wrong.I might have been point one pointment either
way. I'm also I'm looking forwardto Red Sox Pirates for Ed Sprague.
Yeah. That's the other thing thatthis grid does too. It gives you
the percentage of that answer, soyou're shooting for really low percentage one.

(23:59):
It's incredibly By the way, wejust spent five minutes on this Tom ten
Tom Cruise Movies. We're at numberone, you know what's American Baseball and
Tom Cruise. Yeah yeah, andthe Flash number one. Man. By
the way, Flash set to losetwo hundred. I know, it's insane.
We have two Mission Impossible movies,both starring Jeremy Renner. That is

(24:21):
the tie here. We have GhostProtocol and Rogue Nation, the Jeremy Renner
sons, which, by the way, I heard that he has another Mission
Impossible in his contract, does hereally? Yeah, he's a third so
so obviously the idea here. Theseare the fifth and sixth or fourth and
fifth movies in the franchise. Theseare the first two that Christopher mcquarie was

(24:44):
involved in, who has now beenthe director of the last two wee which
Brad Byrd who was known for TheIncredibles did the first one in twenty eleven.
That was Ghost Protocol or Ghost Protocol. Yeah, yeah, it's interesting
the ghosts. What they were tryingto do was sort of backdoor Jeremy Renner
into the Tom Cruise role, asthey tried to do in the Porn movies.

(25:07):
It didn't work, but Jeremy Renneris in these two movies, and
Cruise has also said since I believesince the you know, press for this
movie that he wants to do theseuntil he's eighty. He said, I
want to die. I really wantto make this mission impossible. I want
to finish my life on these.What these two movies do, and I

(25:30):
guess we could talk about him simultaneously, is really build out the world that
this Tom Cruise character lives in andactually puts real stakes on the table,
loved ones, and actually fucks withhis mind and soul. And that's what
I think elevated this franchise to anotherlevel. It got beyond just your cheesy
action movie to a movie that actuallymight movie emotionally, maybe not, but

(25:52):
it's possibly there. And you startseeing more of the recurring cast of I
mean, vig Rames I think hasbeen in all of them, maybe not
the first one, but he's beenin all of them since at least two,
Simon Peg and then we get RebeccaFerguson. You know, Monahan kind
of goes away, but it's justit just built the cast out and every
actor does an incredible job. Andof course these movies are known for the
stunts, and these are really whereCruise steps it up a complete notch.

(26:17):
You can't step up notches. Canyou I think I think you can.
Oh, you'd have to step intothe notch right. And then also Cruise
and Macquarie credit the MCU and theysaid, oh, people really like how
these movies kind of weave together.We should do that too, one hundred
percent. And you can see thatin the storytelling it starting with these two
movies. All right, mac,let's quickly run down even though this is

(26:38):
wrong because I did the math wrong, but you know, spot too high,
this is how it too low.An our top ten tom Cruise movies
at number ten is his cameo inTropic Thunder. A tie for eight with
Edge of Tomorrow and Rainman at numbersix, we have a tie. We

(27:00):
originally had a four way tie,but I changed that when he actually would
have had a three way tie atseven, No more math, no more
numbers, Jerry Maguire and Collateral atnumber five is Minority Report, a tie
at three with a Few good Menand Top Gun Maverick, and a tie
at number one Mission Impossibles, GhostProtocol and Rogue Nation. Bang bang bang

(27:22):
bang bye bang. Let's get intoMaxtan Max. That could be anything,
It could be a boat. Andright now I have some updates on hashtag
dead animal summer. Oh, Ithink the folks have been waiting all week
long for this. Do you wantthe raccoon news or the blue jay news?

(27:45):
Oh? Star, save the raccoonstart with. So the blue jay
which I accidentally killed, even thoughit was the blue jay's fault, it
committed suicide. I have had oneblue jay that has been on my front
lawn for two weeks weeks now?Is it planning an attack? One?
It's stocking out the joint's looking forholes in the siding somewhere. It's gonna

(28:07):
get in one day and just scarethe shit out. It knows what I
did, right, definitely watched youcommit that cry, So I feel like
you're the person to ask here zoologyMac, I was told this, and
I never did any research on it. I was told that blue jay's find
a life partner and stick with thatother bird until the end. Oh,
I don't know about that. Ifthat is true, do you think this
is the bird's mate? So nowthis fucking bird is just in sorrow in

(28:30):
their front yard because you fucking murkedits loved one. That's what I'm thinking,
right, If that is true,that blue jay's living up pair forever.
That blue jay was definitely nearby,and that blue jay definitely saw your
car hit that bird. So it'ssitting in your yard because your car's parked
right there too. I would arguethat the blue jay that has now deceased
wanted to get away from the otherblue jay. They were an a piece

(28:52):
of relationship all right. Onto theraccoon. So a couple of weeks ago,
I told the story that a raccoonscared the Bejesus out of me,
went on to my parents' lawn.Did you yelp? Yeah, I yelped,
m one of my parents lawn it. You know, it died on
the lawn. My parents called thecops to have it taken away. That

(29:12):
didn't happen. Um. I wastold by my father that there are two
baby raccoons in the tree next totheir house, So that might have been
their mama rocky raccoon. But atleast in that scenario, the raccoon was
going to die either way. Shecan't really feel bad about that. Maybe
maybe they could leave some food outfor the baby raccoons. Is it their

(29:32):
raccoons? Now? Are those theirraccoons? They have inherited the raccoons.
Yes, if a raccoon dies onyour property, you would inherit the baby
raccoons. You know what I likeabout baby raccoons is that when you scare
them, they go like this becausethey got fingies. I think raccoons are
one of the few wild animals thatwe could domesticate if we really wanted to.

(29:52):
I don't think you can. No, no, no, they'll bite
your face off. Well I'll annacatch do that now. Tweet at us
