Speaker 3 (01:56):
Yeah, you know, I don't know that it's done much
for me over the years. He actually is beating us
all though he's in Colorado. Yeah, imagine being in Colorado
right now.
Speaker 1 (02:07):
He escaped the heat. All right, we got a great show.
Speaker 3 (02:10):
I know. I was in the pre show meeting. I
heard a lot of the stuff that we're gonna get
out of a lot.
Speaker 1 (02:14):
I'll stop that.
Speaker 3 (02:17):
Lots to get into, but I do want to just
tell you guys that my wife, at one point on
Sunday afternoon said, how come every time I come into
the living room, you have this same weird movie on?
Speaker 1 (02:34):
And I was like, well, what are you talking about?
Exactly what she was talking about? Gun, Isn't that weird?
Right now? She's used to that being on? Was it Tiptoes?
Speaker 3 (02:42):
It was the movie Friendship. Oh, let's go starring Tim Robinson,
the star of I Think you Should Leave. Paul Rudd.
We've talked about this a lot. Now I'm a guy.
I probably am the number one ranked pay per view
spender in the country, there's zero doubt nothing, the only
pay per view it's been in the country. It's nothing
(03:02):
to be proud of. But it's when I want to
watch it. I want to watch it. And so if
it's available, you know, and they get you early on,
they're like, hey, this one just left theaters. It's nineteen
ninety nine to rent it or buy it for twenty
nine ninety nine.
Speaker 1 (03:14):
There you go, dude, buy it. If you rent it,
you get it for three days.
Speaker 3 (03:17):
And so I kept looking at what are the top
ten movies on pay per view, and Centers was up there,
you know, and that's a great movie. We talked about
that and all these other movies that popuck. I had
never heard of it, never heard of it, never heard
of it. Surely one of these days I'm going to
look up there and Friendship will be there, because it's
one of the greatest movies ever made. Well, it's a movie,
it's a movie that we've talked about.
Speaker 1 (03:39):
It's a it's a movie we saw Rotten Tomatoes.
Speaker 3 (03:41):
Actually, I believe there's something that has a really good
rating and I've been wanting to see it, but it's
always twenty bucks go.
Speaker 1 (03:48):
To Ben's house. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (03:49):
Well I decided to search for it as opposed to
just like look for the top ten. And it's been
available for months.
Speaker 1 (03:55):
Yeah, I think it. I seriously think it's been available
since May.
Speaker 3 (03:59):
I think it went straight too there. Like we didn't
even have to go to the theater to see Friendship.
We could have just gone and watched it there. That's
not that uncommon these days though. Yeah, three or four
weeks in the theater and then and sometimes it's even
you know, streaming the day it comes out in the theater.
Speaker 1 (04:14):
Yeah, and it is a weird movie. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (04:17):
The thing that connects with me is I love Tim Robinson.
I think my favorite show ever is I Think You
Should Leave. And so there's they I did a little
research on the movie, just looking into a little bit
after I watched it several more times this weekend. I
watched it almost every day, and it is the weirdest,
cringiest movie ever. Like, even being a fan of Tim Robinson.
(04:38):
I watched it in that theater, going, oh my god,
this is so awkward. And if you don't know, it's
it's a story about older males and how hard it
is for them to create friendships as adults.
Speaker 1 (04:53):
So it's like, I love you man a little bit.
Speaker 3 (04:55):
Yeah, but I love you man has a way different vibe.
The vibe of friendship is to me feels at little
bit like cable guy. Okay, yes, it's very much like that.
That's that's a good way to put it. It's definitely
a weird, bizarre vibe like that. And the guy who
directed it, and I guess he wrote it, it says
he drew inspiration from his own experiences of male bonding
(05:16):
and disconnection and it was a genuine friendship that that
he had with somebody where the friend broke up with him.
And so I'm it's a friend breakup. Yeah, hey, listen,
I think we need to go our own ways here.
Speaker 2 (05:31):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (05:31):
Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3 (05:32):
And you know, if you watch the way that this
movie unravels for Tim Robinson's character, he has no friends.
He's really unaware of what's happening in his own house.
It's a weird thing just at his house. The vibe
is totally weird.
Speaker 1 (05:45):
At his house.
Speaker 3 (05:46):
He has to go deliver a package to Paul Rudd's
character's house because it came to his address, and he's like, wow,
Paul Rudd this You know, this guy's a badass.
Speaker 1 (05:54):
God, I'd love to be friends with this guy. He's
on TV. He's on TV. He's gonna band.
Speaker 3 (05:59):
His wife is like, you have nothing going on, just
go over there and hang out with that guy. He's like,
what are you talking about? I always got you don't
know my schedule.
Speaker 1 (06:06):
That's my favor part. So I've how many times have
you seen it now? Probably four? So I've only no, no, no,
I'm envious because.
Speaker 3 (06:16):
I saw it once and the problem for me was
that it was oversold to me, and so then I
oversold it to my wife and my wife didn't like
it at all. But I what happened was because it
stayed on my social media timeline, I kept seeing scenes
and it reminded me of how funny I thought it was,
and I was like, this movie is really funny.
Speaker 1 (06:37):
I need to see it again. But it's it's heavy
and hard to watch.
Speaker 3 (06:40):
But because it's so cringey, it's not like I think
The Naked Gun or something where it's like a joke,
am innute bam bam bam bam bam. It's so cringey
and awkward that it's hard to watch. Sometimes there's nothing
upbeat about it. Like she referenced, I Love you Man,
I Love you Man is compulsively watchable because it's it
has a disposition and it actually has a nice ending.
(07:03):
This movie does not end well like just no, just
see it for yourself, but there are so many funny parts.
And do you know what I kept thinking about Ben
is that scene where he leads a They're having a
party for his wife who he ruined her life, and
he decides to do a marching band. He wants everybody
to follow him, and he goes outside and no one
(07:24):
follows him, but a guy that he had a confrontation
with earlier is standing on a chair in his living
room addressing everybody, and the last thing he says is,
and while I'm mad it, we should have never pulled
out of Afghanistan. And man, I thought back to that
about twenty five times. There's these you know, doing research
on it. There's all these other articles that started coming
(07:45):
out around that time, and there's an article in The
New Yorker that's called should Men Even Have Friends? And
it's like, here's this guy working in corporate culture, like
he's got a meeting to go to us finding these meetings,
although really he's in there with the largest cup of
coffee anyone could ever make, like it's almost coming over
(08:05):
the sides.
Speaker 1 (08:06):
He's like, watch out, full cup of coffee here. That
made me laugh on hundred times.
Speaker 3 (08:09):
Taking to that right, And it's like he's existing in
this corporate environment but has no friends and doesn't know
how to make them at all. And he invites some
guys from work to come over to his house and
he's like showing him his drums and he's terrible at
it and they don't connect. So finally he makes everyone leave.
They're like, we've only been here forty minutes. I mean,
it is it's it's weird anyways, highly recommend it. Go
(08:29):
watch the movie Friendship, but it is weird and cringey.
All right, where you gonna take us next?
Speaker 1 (08:33):
