(03:56):
can't fuck the same way every night all right right there you go so other than
the work what's been going on man been good life treating you well well that's
three very separate questions right there yeah besides work man just running
around with these damn children's trying to you know be the best adult figure I

(04:18):
hesitate to say stepped at or what have you but you know I know what you mean you
know because that denotes responsibility and we all know I'm not
about that life yeah you say that that you're in it
well waist deep big dog yeah for sure for sure but yeah man other than that just
trying to do new activities me and the lovely Liz decide we're gonna try and

(04:40):
take our hand at Bob Ross painting oh really yeah yeah yeah we made a trip out
to the art store the other day and got canvases and brushes and tubes of paint
and all the contra months yeah yeah good for you man just try to you know I
know you're the artistic type this whole podcast birth because we're like we have
no way to express ourselves artistically what do we do I want to die

(05:02):
because I can't express myself yeah good for you man yeah no that's why it's
packed away now it's why I got a drum set and things like that you know I got
to express yourself through some medium outside of just bumping your gums with me
about yeah I got one movie but yeah I'm trying to get back into writing but it's
it's so hard especially because I've been out of it for so long you know it's

(05:24):
one of those like I don't know it I went back the other night and started
looking through some of the old stuff that I had started and never really
completed because I'm that's just my writing style as I'll start 10,000
writing things and then get bored with them or hate them or whatever and just
never finish them and usually what I'll do is if I go back and read something and

(05:46):
I hate it I deleted it's gone forever and so last night I didn't do or last week
I didn't do that I actually made a folder called you know stuff in in the
works just so it's not you know like garbage or labeled you know you know yeah
don't ever touch this please don't look here I'll be embarrassed I'll die but

(06:06):
yeah just made it made it try to put a positive spin on it and you know like you
know under construction this is something that I'm working on so trying to go back
and revisit some of those and hack them out and take out all the all the chuffa
and all the weird hacking shit that I thought was so brilliant at the time
yeah that happens sometimes man yeah no I definitely fear on that man as you know

(06:29):
I used to be involved with music all the time I was constantly around it it was
the one thing I thought no matter what I did in life that I would never be a
way from and surely enough man life took me in a direction where I don't do it
and the last time I tried to write a rap a poem I saw it just it felt so phoned
in oh yeah authenticity especially well in raps I'll say authenticity is so

(06:49):
important to me at least I was gonna say that's why I don't that's why I don't mess
with a lot of new music it's just it's all the same subject materials everybody's
got shooters everybody's got a payroll everybody's right effing on your bitch or
what it's just it's the same redundant stuff and it's like there's zero
originality or authenticity to it even if you're living like this okay like the
studio just happened to find 130 people that right right all got the same life

(07:13):
that all got that lean there's a couple people out there I still rock with shout
out the coast contra shout out the norman sap but even then those are like
lyricists they do wordplay they do that you know they they weave a tapestry you
know vocally or lyrically you know as opposed to just like
fun fun fun fun fun fun skirt every yeah yeah that was pretty much the improv

(07:38):
have taken over and I said if you like that kind of thing that's you know enjoy
it but I just I personally don't and so I understood I say all that to say like
when I do try to go back and write anything chorus a song a poem it just
it all feels so forced and phony and I've always been my toughest critic but I
also used to have the ability to trash an entire thing and I'll just take out
the cadence of the way I said something or the melody of how I said something

(08:00):
be like I like this aspect of it this will find new light and I'd write a whole
new there you go just off of that there you go I just have it I don't do it anymore
so I just rather I talk about movies and slide in video games or sure sure
bitch about the Eagles yeah but I mean it's gonna feel hacking it's gonna feel

(08:21):
phoned in because like you're forcing yourself to do it you know I mean like
it's that it's not that how do I put this it's like the spark hasn't caught
fire yet you know you're you're fan of it you're you're you're trying to trying
to work it into a roaring frenzy and bring that passion back and it may never
you know be the bonfire of passion that it wants that it once was but like just

(08:44):
keep fanning it man just just keep you know even if even if it's you know cool
embers and that's you know how you get your jollies and you know just writing
stuff just for you that's fine man do it that's why we do a podcast just for us
for everybody that listens no that that was good life to live by I don't want
to gloss over it but that was good advice man just for anybody that's thinking

(09:06):
about starting something or that used to do something man just do it do it this
whole podcast like if you go back to listen to episode one it is not good
yeah I mean we still don't really know I mean it's episode 72 I'd argue it's
still not saying we still don't really know what we're doing we certainly have
a lot more practice at it sure we're getting closer to where we want to be
man like it there was whole this whole idea sprung out of I'm not trying to

(09:30):
you know incriminate Michael we kind of told the story on the air before but I
you know don't release it and it's just like who cares man like oh yeah it's for
us and we're just gonna get better people want to see these humble beginnings
though but I mean like I'm such a perfectionist like even to this day I
I can't put something out there for other people to see until I'm completely

(09:52):
happy with it and it's got to be perfect you know what I mean like there can't be
there can't be any flaws and of course I'm gonna be my own worst critic and I
see all the flaws all the time all the cracks all the like and so it's part of
my learning process has been to just like learn to let that go and sort of
like it may not be perfect but it is what it is and just put it out there and

(10:13):
see how people react and like just use that you know instead of being afraid of
the criticism welcome the like not even the the admiration but just like just
the adaboy of it you know like oh that's pretty cool dude you know yeah no for
sure shout out I'm gonna hopefully we can take this out I'll give him a call
afterwards but you know our good friend Glenn aka DJ Ozar that's right I'll

(10:36):
tune it I'll just click on I don't do it as much as I would as I should be doing
it to be honest with you I'll click in his music just to hear some tracks just
get the numbers up do whatever like some of some of what I've actually enjoyed
man I actually get inspired just knowing that he still is putting music out sure
you don't really know man your journey sometimes it's like I see other rarely do

(10:56):
I see other people work out that I'm like oh I want to do that but there are a
couple people in my friendship list that I see posting videos of them getting
seeing real progress and it's like damn kind of inspirational you live a dope
life but enough of that the moral that story
is just don't lose your dinosaur that was not really that's more about

(11:23):
losing your inner child but yeah which we talked about on the Lego episode which
was a good episode by the way enjoyed that enjoyed our movie trivia moxie I'm
so heartbroken I lost oh yeah tough competition though that was I was and I
think that was actually the first time that we kind of had geared a lot of the
categories more for the other person you know I mean like in previous in previous

(11:46):
seasons it's been just a lot more like popery or general movie knowledge I
think these ones were like I had questions that were specifically targeted
towards you and you had ones that were like definitely directed towards like my
repertoire or my like you know of movie knowledge the yeah absolutely I mean the
point of it is I mean there is got to be just some random stuff sure but the

(12:10):
goal if you ever want to play movie trivia moxie or movie trivia moxie at
home the goal is you find a partner multiple partners whatever that's Polly
yeah I recommend multiple partners yeah it's called Polly movie trivia moxie
yeah but no it's fine whomever you want whoever wants to play along with you and
either they can give you a subject hey quiz me on this or if you know that

(12:33):
person well enough you're like I see you watching the office all the time right
let's test that movie trills find out the test the metal of your movie trivia
moxie that's right and so you try to find subjects that you think the other
person knows something about and sometimes there's some hard-hitting
questions you're like damn I know what you're talking about but I don't know
the answer right or like I know that movie so well that I should know the

(12:54):
answer to that question and I just don't some of them are just things that we've
mentioned on the podcast before that's where I get tripped yeah not like I mean
the one I had the most fun with was when on the second movie trivia moxie we did
where I asked you the same questions that I remember that was a lot of fun for
me they were fair game they were fair questions I mean you asking the same

(13:18):
questions twice I mean like how much easier shooting of that yeah yeah but I
mean because Michael came if we really wanted to win Michael would just come to
me with like random 1980s wrestling trivia and it's like dude I don't know I'm
gonna guess whole code you know like if I get it it's not because I know it is
because it's a lucky guess right that's it's kind of fun to watch somebody
squirm but it's also I'm here to test your movie trivia moxie everybody wants

(13:43):
to know the secret on how to play along at home that's how you do it so patent
pending that was your favorite category that that I gave to you I always hate
the seagull seagull or Katie seagull I always hate those but I also appreciate
the fact that you do them because I they're fair even if it's even if it's
shit that I don't know I have a one in three chance of getting it sure so I

(14:03):
feel like it's in bounds even though I just hate it for some reason I just
don't fare well which I actually did that round but I was like that the 1996 one
was weird just because it was like why 96 you could have picked 86 which is the
birth year but you're like nope 1996 or I thought that there was a movie that I
liked that came out in 96 just 96 was a good year huh yeah

(14:27):
no I I sometimes get tickled at the the subject lines that we come up with the
movie tag lines are always fun yeah which you know those are all movies that
we had mentioned on the podcast that was always fun trying to think last week
what the subjects were though that I appreciated I guess it's a million times
away now there we go right I had the SNL high low oh yeah I did not do well at

(14:51):
that one I did not do very well at that I just think they all bomb like all the
movies I like Bob I'm like it's a long story short when it comes to SNL movies
there's two that did really really well and then yes the rest of them pretty much
yeah even Tommy boy is not it wasn't based off of skit but I just like hey
we're gonna roll camera on Chris Farley and David Spade them doing their thing

(15:15):
hey that works so technically an SNL movie but also not really I mean you know
kissing cousins yeah yeah I know what was your favorite subject though I do not
remember because I don't listen to the podcast oh I see no what was the
category you gave me let's see you had let's see I can tell you the one that I

(15:35):
hated the most because I should have gotten it and I didn't was the go big red
category now you did well in that one yeah I yeah we which by the way we've
exhausted that category until more alumnus from Leon high come out see I'm
you know who I thought you're gonna put on there and you didn't know Bert
Reynolds no well now he's Florida State he's not he's not I mean I didn't well

(15:57):
there could be more don't worry there was there was only five questions for each
of them okay the Leon the Leon one though that was a go big red mm-hmm that
category is officially exhausted in retired I've yeah unless you just spin it
if you haven't noticed the way that we'll ask a question we'll just loosely
tie it to something we'll be like fade down away went to Leon high school and

(16:19):
then we'll be like what movie was you can even spin it be like in 1986 she was
in a movie with this person what was that we call and it really has nothing to do
with that's after fried green tomatoes I don't I don't even know if this movie
exists Mike why didn't even say somebody got to feel like it's some sort of like

(16:41):
geriatric rom-com with Jack Nicholson or probably Walter Mathau or Jack Lemon
yeah probably I would watch that porn I would watch but yeah no that exact I
was surprised you did not get the fry lock one about T-Pain playing fry lock
and I should have I should have absolutely put the adult swim T-Pain

(17:03):

goddamn better I need I might need to smoke I love you but if you don't break
sobriety for Snoop Dogg I will be mad I wouldn't last long cuz I haven't smoked
marijuana in a very long time so I probably it's Snoop Dogg I wouldn't last
long yeah I take two hits like I'm done like done done I'm going home and I
think yeah I have aliens inside my chest but all that being said we have a

(18:57):
devolved into something that we don't usually do but we're just kind of
catching up so all that being said my brother the reason why people tune in
year in year out weekend week out my brother people need to know what you've
been watching my man I have been a little light in the movies recently just

(19:18):
because I've had a lot of plates spinning but I did finish watching the Amazon
series the boys I have seen season one and two and I often I like those so what
you think about it let me see I really like season one that was pretty strong
season two that was one with Stormfront yes yes okay right they are into the

(19:45):
eugenics and stuff and yes yes pretty messed up try to keep it spoiler free
but yeah if you haven't seen season two of the boys two was yeah for just three
was a little kind of off the walls I it's not bad but it's it's definitely I
think the most unlike the other seasons that's one of a soldier boy yeah yeah
yeah which Jensen Ackles playing I mean imagine Captain America but fueled by

(20:08):
methamphetamines and like 1950s propaganda yeah I mean a woman's place is
in the kitchen and you know drinking jack Daniels for going off in the war and
why are the colors sitting in the same booth as me kind of thing well yeah
that's right yeah that show doesn't really tread lightly when it comes stuff

(20:28):
like that so yeah yeah it's it's a weird anyway season four I think is a little
bit more on track it it definitely it definitely is not making any subtle
jabs at the far right and conservative evangelical movement like it's that

(20:51):
whole movement is pretty much painted as the villain of the series in as much as
in as much as they are fighting you know superheroes whatever the overarching
theme is that like these the villain superheroes are lean leaning into the
alt-rights super Christian you know Christian nationalism kind of thing so

(21:12):
not pulling any punches so it's often don't subtleties not really their
strong suit on the boys whether it be in the comic book or which they've taken
some massive liberties from the comic book but it's all good the show works
the show works really I could watch Carl Irvin so good in that show as Billy
Butcher yeah accent I don't know if he's doing a great accent or a bad accent but I

(21:35):
love that accent like it's so like he's the dude is from I want to say New
Zealand maybe Australia I think he's New Zealand I don't know but he's doing it
like a British cockney like gravelly cockney like what's this it like tell
me bro what we gonna do here about this situation like that's like awesome but I

(21:56):
don't know if it's I don't know if that accent I just did is as good as he's
doing or way worse but it's amazing I could hit listen to him do that accent
all goddamn night he's definitely the star of the show he's he's very good in
that role I like all he's got to do is just say some like clever 80s comeback
and just smirk at the camera and I'm like well they got me for the next season

(22:17):
he says the C word a lot as well it's a right yeah rhymes with punt but no he
says that a lot yeah yeah yeah but um no I like that I like I said I want to
sell season one and two and then I just kind of again there's just so much
content I just probably went down some other rabbit hole waiting for it and
then it's haven't gotten back but I kind of keep up with it a little bit just

(22:39):
because of the I guess my algorithm knows that I'm a comic book fan and
surely have seen the boys I kind of get into some of it I like how the deep is
an ongoing just punchline oh he he is hysterical like from the jump he's not
a good guy I mean like he long story short he basically none of them are
none of them yeah yeah the whole point of the series is what if all of the

(23:02):
world's favorite superheroes were all selfish anxious assholes yeah yeah it
the boy is the comic book I think it's written by Garth Annis I believe
correct sir yes it really was lampooning like modern comic book like
modern comic books at the time sure and it kind of much in the same way that

(23:25):
Alan Moore did back in the in the 70s and 80s right right like isn't this silly
you know who who's to say that all of these you know just because they're
heroes that they're good people you know yeah and that's kind of the whole
premise of the show and it like I said the comic book it does certain things
but also Garth Annis is a little bit he goes for shock value a lot and it they

(23:49):
translate that to the show too sometimes well I mean he did the Punisher Max
series he did right I'm not I'm not taking away from me it's yeah he definitely
doesn't shy away from the controversial or the shocking yeah yeah so definitely
this show is definitely for the mature theme but you were saying about the deep
though like just to let you know all of them are terrible sure sure it's just to

(24:10):
just to what degree are they terrible right right anyway he's the the
analogous to like Aquaman or Namor or something like that he's that he's the
underwater talks to fish guy yeah but yeah just dirt bag like long story short
in the very first episode he tries to pull a Harvey Weinstein kind of thing
yeah and then massive abuse of power in that respect yeah yeah yeah and then

(24:35):
from there like joins a religious cult and gets a big ego publishes a tell
memoir where he like rewrites his own history and like wins people over like
oh isn't he just the victim and didn't we just you know wasn't he just maligned
by the media and whatnot and then turns out he fucks it up and ends up being an
even bigger douche bag and they're like oh well never mind there there was your

(24:59):
chance at not being canceled now you're double canceled yeah he's super stamp no
reverses you can't double stamp a triple stamp and he was trying to double
stamp a triple or triple stamp a double stamp sorry man no it's a good show
though like I was thoroughly entertained by seasons one and two I just again it
was just waiting for season three I just got caught in other content never came

(25:21):
back it's worth the dive it I will say that there there are periods where they
sort of it follows the repetition of like action sequence action sequence
action sequence exposition dump and then that goes on for 20 minutes and
usually the episodes are bookended by you know like there's the setup there's a

(25:42):
fight scene we learn everything that we need to know to progress the story and
then there's another fight scene and on a cliffhanger every single episode is
kind of follows the same formula which is okay because within that like you do
get to see some really cool awkward horrific shit yeah very broken people
you ever seen someone shrink down and then go inside somebody's weiner and

(26:05):
then grow big yeah only in this show yeah and we're certainly not just gonna
catalog all the terrible things that these people do because oh no it's not for
the squeamish but the ending of season may squeamish squeamish the ending of
season two where a homelander is let's just say pleasuring himself realizing I

(26:26):
can do whatever I want yeah that's such a weird yeah yeah yeah yeah but I it's
iconic in a weird way though like for that it's very memorable that they ended
on that that they have this weird bargain with somebody who's all powerful
cannot be stopped ultimately but you have dirt on this guy because he's so
worried about his public perception that he'll let stuff slide as long as he

(26:46):
looks like a good guy he's a terrible human being but as long as I look good
to the public exactly you can have your life that's sort of something that they
focus on in season four is they really get into the in the whole like why of
you know homelander feels this need to be loved and accepted by everybody you
know basically he's given the powers of a god he's invincible and vulnerable he's

(27:10):
all powerful and yet he could do anything he could literally run rampant
across the planet and knowing they would stop him and yet he doesn't do it
because he wants to feel accepted and loved and they really touch on that in
season four a little bit so they are interesting characters when you break them
down and there's a lot of insecurities amongst them I mean that's kind of their

(27:31):
whole once that's the interesting part of the show is that once the boys
whatever they're whatever they're calling themselves the boys once they
find out whatever the quote-unquote weaknesses of these people most time
it's not kryptonite you know sometimes it is an actual item or an allergy let's
just say right or whatever and other times it's just we're gonna release this

(27:51):
dirt on you if you doing terrible things if you don't play by the rules it's like
okay so they try to break them down and on all these other creative ways so
definitely give it a watch if you're it's kind of the most superhero anti-super
hero show but definitely worth a watch what would you rate it oh man I'm gonna
give it let's they'll give well now just give overall for the for the entire show

(28:15):
so far I was gonna do season by season but that gets too confusing I'm gonna
give the boys overall I'm gonna give it three shots of compound V I was gonna
give it 8,000 vials of compound V oh that's that's a lot of vials but yeah you
don't know the scale it could be of a million I guess that's true that's what

(28:36):
I'm saying it's different scale but fair point fair point same exact same review
though somehow you know what I mean let's see after that I saw the classic
1981 film starring Bill Murray and Harold Ramis and John Candy stripes oh nice I

(28:57):
know a lot of people that absolutely love that movie it's pretty funny it's I
mean classic 80s comedy you know but it's a buddy comedy but you know weird way I
mean kind of in the same way that Ghostbusters was or or coming to America
or something like that you know like it's just it's it's too two friends

(29:20):
thrust into an into an unfortunate or unfamiliar situation and but it's it's a
common situation you know like there's in coming to America coming being an
immigrant coming literally coming to America right it's something that thousands
of people experience every day it just happens to be the Eddie Murphy twist on
it you know whereas joining the army this is the Bill Murray you know Harold

(29:42):
Ramis Ivan rightman directed jaunt on that I see I see it is directed by Ivan
right man right yes we were just talking a little bit ago we're like I think in
that area of movies you have a good chance if you're not sure who directed
some funny movie being like was it Mel Brooks nah you pretty much know the
Mel Brooks be sure sure like it's a John Landis Ivan rightman or Harold

(30:04):
right yeah right yeah you have a pretty good chance yeah yeah it's kind of like
with makeup it's either Stan Winston Tom Savini or who's the other guy got it
is alien HR no not HR god damn it Rick Baker was who we were looking for on a

(30:25):
side note yeah man behind the scenes one day anyway if you guys only understood
how long the deviation in conversation we just had oh my god none of it's ever
gonna make the make the air but oh if we had just a compilation of shit that
doesn't make the like that just stays on the cutting room floor the show would be

(30:48):
unfollowable is it like people I mean it up probably already is but yeah the
show would be vastly like you guys are already tough enough with your inside
jokes and you speak each other's language a little too well we literally had
like six-side conversations so anyway doggy style anyways I saw strikes

(31:10):
weird directed by Ivan right that's right classic 80s style movie just jokes a
minute a lot of visual gags puns it's very you know like it's very talking
head but it's very much you know one person says the setup the other one
says the punchline or something happens and then both people react to it in

(31:35):
very different ways or something like that like does that make sense it's very
80s style it's very setup punchline setup punchline long exposition where we
tell the story and then set up punchline set up no I get it I get it no I get it's
the more classical sense I got you like Groundhog Day or even like year one a

(31:56):
little bit ladybugs Groundhog Day
anyways no no I I've seen stripes it's I know I watched it probably when I was in
high school was the last time I did but again that's getting to be more than 20
years ago so yeah I don't really remember this movie very much at all and it

(32:17):
wasn't in steady rotation when I was a kid like I know I got we were watched a
lot of Bill Murray movies and I mean we had a pretty healthy dose of when we went
to the video store when dad would rent something for us it was something that
sure you know so yeah oh you guys have never seen like the jerk for example sure
one more a lot of couple other things but so I know I've seen it I'm sure it the

(32:39):
the importance of that movie has been shown before as a lot of things live on
I'm sure but nowadays with social media I've seen clips from it in fact I know I
did recently sure but yeah I got really no no opinion on this movie except I know
a lot of people really think this is Bill Murray added the peak of his powers I
mean you got to understand this was coming off of caddy shack this was I

(32:59):
mean this film essentially is what brought the cast of Ghostbusters together
in a weird way you know Ivan Reitman directed he had already worked with
with Bill Murray and I think caddy shack and yeah there might have been one more

(33:20):
but anyway they would go on to have a long illustrious career I mean together
but yeah just so funny so quotable it's got Sean Young as one of the love
interests you might know her as Lieutenant Einholt from Ace Ventura oh

(33:42):
Einhorn Einhorn I'm sorry I'm an Einhorn Einhorn and Finkle yeah that movie
did not I mean the performance is still really funny but thematically Ace
Ventura did not age very well agreed but it did for better or worse it did
cement Jim Carrey as a very good comedic character actor you know yeah no

(34:07):
I'm not again the performance still holds up I'm not I'm saying the themes
about like everyone was disgusted the fact that they kissed a man and everyone's
like literally scraping their tongues off it's the grossest thing I could ever
do like yeah that aspect of the film alone doesn't really stand out but sure
anyways but Jim Carrey's performance still does though I mean I saw him in

(34:28):
we I just recently watched the Sonic movie and he plays Dr. Robotnik yeah
he's on Hinsdon that he it's very very Ace Ventura-esque so at the very least
he's he's made a career out of being the manic rubber-faced man which I mean good
for you like who else are you gonna get you know like like a Jim Carrey type or

(34:51):
do you want to get Jim Carrey exactly like he's established his own status in
terms of like well we could we could kind of get Jim Carrey guy or let's just
get Jim Carrey and have him do it you know just we need somebody to play a
cartoon character oh did you just watch Sonic for the first time recently yeah
yeah yeah we can do you have a good diving on that I saw that movie on a

(35:12):
matinee by myself oh really when I had a regal movie pass okay I was living in
Maryland and I would tell people all the time like every every day we checked in
over the weekends or whatever on Monday you go to a little group therapy
session oh would you do this weekend went to a movie what you do this weekend I
went to a movie sure and people you never take me to the movies I'm like I go
every weekend at what point I tell you I take an Uber I go to the movie theater

(35:36):
I go watch the movie I come back or I take the bus out there whatever only one
person shout out to you my cinnamon toast crunch queen you know who you are
yeah yeah shout out to you my cinnamon is my homie Jackie I call her up yeah I
call her cinnamon toast crunch but now she was the only person that ever took me

(35:59):
up I go into the movies and so there was I was going a lot and Sonic was one of
those I just saw I saw Detective Pikachu the same way oh my god I'll just go see
Detective Pikachu by myself on a matinee and you weren't drinking at this time
No, no, it's right.
Wow.
Yeah, when they go see Sonic the same way and I said the same thing, was like Jim Carrey
is back in his form.

(36:20):
Oh yeah.
Anyways, long tangent, back to Stripes.
What did you think about it?
Some people say this is the pinnacle of Bill Murray Powers.
We can talk all three Sonic movies if you watch three, by the way.
Pinnacle of Bill Murray Powers?
I mean, in a weird way, Bill Murray has had three stages of his career.
The first one was where he was coming off of the Chicago Players or whatever.

(36:47):
The Groundlings?
The Groundlings, right.
His improv stuff, going into Caddyshack and Stripes and Ghostbusters and whatever.
His very comedic yes and performance where you could just let Bill Murray be Bill Murray
on screen and you were guaranteed comedic goal because he would just take these weird

(37:12):
characters to these elevated places where you're just like, well, that's fucking odd
and funny.
Yeah, just naturally a funny guy.
The Groundhog Day of it all, the whatever.
We were talking about that same type of person who's just funny even if they're not trying
to be.
We were talking about like Mr. Bean is one of them.
Sure.
Talking about like John Cleese.
Tracy Morgan is another person.
I don't know if he knows he's being funny as they say in big mouth, but you're fucking

(37:36):
funny.
Right, right, right.
And then you have the second phase with Bill Murray's career where he does the more serious
acting.
Lost in translations.
The Rushmore, even sort of the life aquatic with Steve Zusso, as funny as a movie as that
is, he puts in a very serious performance.

(37:56):
Yeah, he does.
He does.
Yeah, and then now we're sort of getting the resurgence where it's Bill Murray going
back into his comedic roots, you know, the zombie lands, the Ghostbusters reboots, the
the I mean, the what have you, you know, where it's it's Bill Murray just being funny, Bill

(38:18):
Murray again, you know.
So yeah, it's it's funny to see the nascent beginnings of this comedy dynamic that's going
to extend for arguably the next 20 years, 30 years, you know, with Ivan Reitman and
Harold Ramis and John Candy and, you know, all all those players, you know, Rick Moranis,

(38:43):
all those cats.
Yeah.
So that's Rick Moranis.
Yeah, so it's I laughed so much this movie because I hadn't seen it in a while and there
was so much that I had forgotten and how quotable the movie was.
I mean, like things that were just lost in the back of my memory.

(39:04):
And then as soon as they said it, I was like, oh, yeah, yeah, those are the best.
Those are the best.
So anything else on stripes or you want to go and review it or what else you got?
I will go ahead and rate stripes one.
Um, chocolate, like a, um, chocolate, like a, um, chocolate, like a, boom.
One of the highest reviews given for those that have been keeping track at home.

(39:28):
Anything else, man?
Let's see after that.
Oh, here we go.
We're about to go on a wild tangent here.
Oh my goodness.
So I rewatch.
Can I guess?
Go ahead.
Sure.
Have we talked about it on the podcast before?
Many times.
Is it the Adam family?
It is not the Adam family.
Go ahead.
It is.
I recently just out of the blue rewatch the Chuck Heston 1968, 69.

(39:53):
Movie planet of the apes.
Oh, nice.
Nice.
We were just talking about that in our movie trivia moxie game.
God damn right.
About what, about what a twist.
Almost as if it was inspirational.
Oh, nice.
Now that's also a circle back.
We were talking about the, the tricks to the movie trivia moxie is you can frame questions
any way you want.
You can like, I think that question I asked on that was so planted of the apes had a hell

(40:17):
of a twist, right?
Right.
Right.
I didn't just ask anything related to anything at that point.
Anyways, but yeah, recently sat down and rewatched that the whole behind the curtains, the goal
is to rewatch all of the planet of the apes movies up to the brand new kingdom of the

(40:38):
planet of the apes, which I have not seen, but it's the only one I have not seen yet.
So I'm trying to review them and see if I can garner some sort of like fresh opinion
on this.
Yeah, that is the original movie franchise and you, there's what six original ones.
It's the, the original six are planet of the apes beneath the planet of the apes where

(41:01):
they find the, the bomb that they all worship escape from the planet of the apes where Zira
and Cornelius go back in time to quote unquote modern day America.
And then conquest for the planet of the apes where the apes have an uprising where they

(41:22):
basically turn off the shackles of their oppressors and Caesar shouts no.
And then the last one is battle for the planet of the apes where Caesar officially turns
on the humans and basically banishes them to the wastelands or whatever.
It's like therefore setting up the events of the original movie.
Okay.

(41:43):
Okay.
Complicated, I know.
Yeah, I forget the timeline entirely.
Still one of my favorite series, bro.
I love the original franchise.
I love it.
There's so many bad costumes.
They get worse.
So much.
The first movie is amazing and like the costumes are great.
The sets are fantastic.
It's all like hand constructed, you know, like physical sets.

(42:06):
Right.
Practical effect.
And then eventually they're just like, yeah, we're just going to film in the Sedona Desert
for like four days and out for the best.
Yeah.
What's that joke in a traffic thunder?
He's like, you think we got here shooting planted in the Apes on YouTube with some shit?
One of the best jokes.
There's so many.

(42:27):
If you pay attention, the masks get considerably worse to the point where like at one point
somebody comes up and says a line and it's just a Hollywood rubber mask and all you just
see is like the bottom jaw just flapping like.
Yeah.
So good.
So you watched all six of them already?

(42:47):
No, no, no.
I rewatched the original.
And then I jumped to the remake with James Franco and the motion capture performance
of Andy Serkis.
I don't know how that guy has not one rise of the planet of the Apes.
How was that guy not one of Oscar?
And he's not for Lord of the Rings.
I know.

(43:07):
I didn't even nominated him.
Really?
I don't think it snubs ever.
Really?
Yeah.
People are.
We talked about it before and we won't spend too much time with comedy roles and like that's
such a groundbreaking role.
For sure.
It should have been.
I mean, the dude literally rewrote the book on motion capture.
Yeah.
Like, like as far as what was possible in terms of CGI effects and characters becoming

(43:32):
other bigger characters.
I mean, like you don't get to Thanos without Gollum.
You don't get to.
Damn, they're anybody.
They're like, I mean, really anything that's going on nowadays, you know, like Tom Holland
filming the new Spider-Man movies, they could have just put him in a spandex suit and then
like just turn flips monkey boy.
But they put him in like a mocap suit and had to digitally affect the suit onto him

(43:55):
to make it look right.
You know, like it's it's.
Yeah.
Even if you take all that away, even if I think it's more impressive that he does a
motion capture and he's doing it by himself largely.
Sure.
The director and a few other people in the room.
But even if you just were to put, you know, Andy Serkis in a Gollum mask, he embodied
that character so well.

(44:16):
It's so iconic.
But anyways, just from his body movements and the way like he changed his physicality
to become that character.
Yeah, it's it's a hell of a performance.
But we say all that he was the actor that played Caesar Caesar in the remakes or the
updated version.
We should say.
Right.
Yeah.
Which is amazing.
And I think the origins of good in terms of telling the origins of a beloved series.

(44:44):
I mean.
I know that they had attempted the Mark Wahlberg revert Mark Wahlberg.
Mark.
Revert Mark Wahlberg reboot.
That didn't really pan out and quite frankly was so ridiculous that it just.
It got so complicated and so campy that I couldn't take it seriously, which I really

(45:08):
wanted to because for all intents and purposes, they use practical effects like they didn't
do CGI monkeys.
They put actors in their first half their apes.
Whatever.
I know what you mean.
I'm just picking on you.
Listen, Jane Goodall, back to fuck up.
Have to have standards, sir.
David Attenborough over here.

(45:29):
For real.
Couldn't tell you the difference.
I know there is.
I couldn't.
I couldn't.
But yeah, I mean, they had they had people in practical prosthetic makeup, you know,
so like in the very spirit of of the original movie, it still just didn't work.
It was ridiculous and scythe totally over the top and campy to the point of I lost interest.

(45:54):
Like, all right, what what new other sci-fi trope are they going to shoehorn in now?
You know.
I'm talking about the Tim Burton remake.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, that one was missable.
That was pretty bad.
Yeah.
But yeah, made a lot of money, though.
One of the biggest box office opening weekends for a very long time.
Really?

(46:14):
Yeah.
Okay.
I said a lot of records.
Okay.
Again, it's tucked away in there.
But anyway, I I liked the the reboot or prequel reboot reimagining whatever you want to call
it with with James Franco.
I I like I actually do too is directed by Rupert Wyatt.
And then Matt Reeves took over the second one.

(46:37):
He directed the Batman.
Correct.
But no, I like the the one that we're how we got on Andy Serkis in the first place,
how we play Caesar in these.
But I like the John Lithgow was really good at it.
I like the concept of how they're working on a cure for Alzheimer's, which is a terrible
disease for anyone that has it.
And John Lithgow's performance as he basically plays James Franco's dad.

(46:59):
James Franco's dad, right, right, right, which is James Franco's whole impetus for what's
his name, Will?
I think so.
I think it's well anyway.
It's his whole impetus for for being a bioengineer or whatever the title is.
Neuron, chemist or whatever it's called, you know, sciencey, sciencey guy.
Yeah.

(47:19):
Yeah.
But yeah, and John Lithgow turns in a gut wrenching, just heart tearing performances
like you see when he loses his grip on reality after he's been exposed to this experimental
drug and he's regaining his abilities and he's he's becoming proficient as a as a piano
player again.
And he's playing Mozart and enjoying life.

(47:41):
And then to see it all.
So it's almost like awakenings or something like that where like the drug works, then
all of a sudden his body builds up and immunity or resistance to it and to see it slip away.
And he knows it's slipping away.
It's like just the horror and the not not apathy.
What's the word I'm looking for the on we of just like, well, there's nothing I can

(48:05):
do to stop it.
Yeah.
It's got to be tough, man.
I've seen some people pass away from some physical ailments, but anybody that's, you
know, you have to ask yourself what's worse, watching your your body deteriorate away,
but you're clear mentally and so you're aware of it or watching your body still function
in your brain.
Go it's it's.

(48:25):
So thanks for that new nightmare that I'm going to think about later tonight.
Well, hey, I mean, I missed the point of the movie.
But no, it's I mean, I just like the they set it up well enough where it's actually
believable.
That movie, I don't know if you want to fast forward if you want to talk more about it,
but you're talking about the whole franchise.
So I figured, well, I followed up by watching the second one, which was hang on, hang on.

(48:47):
That's before you do that.
The one thing I do like about the James Franco first one is they set up Caesar very well,
how he becomes an experimental ape for this drug, which then gives him super monkey intelligence
powers.
Basically he unites other apes that have been captive held by the kid from Harry Potter.
Draco Malfoy.
Yeah.
And the one thing they gloss over though, and it's at the very end of the movie, which

(49:10):
I thought was really bold.
While the credits are rolling either either while the credits are ending in that movie
or the credits are beginning in the next movie.
There's a whole you're right.
It's the credits are ending or I'm sorry, the credits are beginning.
It's the roll on to the credits.
Yeah.
I mean, like the movie finishes, they have one last little tag on scene and then the

(49:31):
credits roll.
Yeah.
And the whole thing is like this virus then comes and starts wiping out humanity.
Mm hmm.
And you see it's almost like 28 days later, like you see how it's spreading from country
to country to city to city and it becomes this global pandemic just through like computer
CGI.
Like you see a plane land from New York to London, then all of a sudden it branches off

(49:53):
and it goes into like various areas of Spain and France and Germany and then it spreads
from there to Russia and yeah,
Paul, a stand or whatever.
How outbreaks work.
Yes.
But no, it's I just thought that was a really bold move to do mid credits.
Like, so the movie and the next movie, we just gloss over that.
I just think that was a really brave move to be like the movies aren't about that.

(50:16):
It's about the rise of the planet of the eight.
Right.
I mean, how we get there.
It's a true origin story.
So I dug that which there's a whole series that people could touch on in that.
Oh, what was the virus and what happened there?
Right.
They just don't even touch it.
They're like, nope.
They don't pick up until the second movie where like it's already taken.
It's like 10 years later.
The virus has already happened.
He's already fallen like 90 percent of humanity has been wiped out by the Simeon virus.

(50:40):
Yeah.
Yeah.
I just thought that was a bold move.
So I had to take a minute before you moved on to that one.
No, you're right.
It was a bold move and it told the story perfectly without it was show me not tell me, which
is beautiful in a movie.
Our story is not about that.
Like, oh, OK, which rich tapestry there for other people to tap into one day.

(51:01):
Right.
Yeah.
So yeah, then it goes into dawn of the planet of the eights, dawn of the planet, which is
about a dam pretty much.
It's a god damn.
Well done.
Be some head to America all time classic.
Yeah.
So it basically picks up 10 years later and like I said, 90 percent of humanity has been
wiped out.

(51:21):
There's this contention of humans that are exploring and they come across Caesar's camp.
He's already established this like tribal kingdom of super smart apes and like it opens
with their hunting deer in the forest and running through the trees and throwing spears.
It's this great opening action sequence to really show how their civilization works.

(51:45):
You know, they're they're running through the trees and they're using sign language to
communicate silently with each other, you know, right?
Apes together strong.
Exactly.
Exactly.
Which going back just a little bit.
Yeah.
We're talking the whole franchise.
It's weird that the first movie essentially is about like a weird way I found it about

(52:08):
unionization in terms of it's the workers, the apes all coming together to throw off
the shackles of their oppressors and their the proletariat that are using them for their
abilities or using them for their for their skills and rising and conquering them.
It really is.
It's like the French Revolution or something.

(52:28):
I don't know if I don't know if they're being used for their skills at that point.
I might disagree with you on that.
I think it is very much so about unionization and being like, look, because he even says,
like, if we do this one at a time, we're going to they'll snuff us out.
Right.
You know, but if we are smart and we work together, you know, the whole ape's together strong.
I mean, I would argue that I think that that point it's more like they're still being experimented

(52:49):
and treated cruelly.
They don't really know humans what the implications of this is on apes.
And so they're not like, hey, you write me an essay, ape.
No, no, no, no.
I don't mean for their skills in terms of like they can turn a wrench where but they
are essentially being used for like their skill is being experimented on their skill
is like, let's give this this ape this experimental drug and then we'll test and measure the results.

(53:17):
So they are being exploited in that way.
No, no, no.
Yeah, the exploit.
Yeah.
No, exploitation was I just, I guess I just took.
I was literally.
Yeah, yeah.
I just I was nitpicking, which I need to not do.
No, no, but I do agree, though, and it's.
It is very much so, like I said, just escaping of the oppressors and things of that and,

(53:37):
you know, unifying.
So I can agree with those terms, certainly.
Yeah.
The one note that I wrote down while I was while I watched this movie and it's so funny.
I just put joining together to force change against the corporate agenda that exploits
the less fortunate question mark.
It's a good question.
Pose is a tough answer.

(53:58):
I might have been a little intoxicated when I watched that movie.
I mean, you're spot on.
You're spot on.
So anyway, so that's the first one.
And then the second one is you said there was a small faction of humans runs into Caesar's
camp and they want to obtain.
There's a dam.
The whole movie is about a dam.
I feel like they spend a lot of time there and they can generate power for their civilization,
but it's kind of under the apes for lack of better term, like under their control under

(54:21):
their territory.
Right.
So like, hey, we can work together.
And if you let us do this, we'll leave you alone and we'll, yeah.
And there's some some I guess the the conflict is that some apes like if you give them this
power, you're giving them literal power back and they can use that to turn on us.
In fact, one of the one of the main proponents is the antagonist basically is this other

(54:43):
ape called Coba, who is essentially Caesar's second in command.
And he makes the point like you love humans more than you love apes.
You you care so much about them that you're willing to sacrifice our health just because
you have some reminiscent tie to like James Franco.
Yeah.
To the life that was the like.

(55:04):
And his whole point is that's not our life anymore.
We are two warring tribes.
And if you let them, he doesn't, he doesn't eloquent it as much as I do.
But basically, if you let these people into into our lives, they're going to turn on you.
They're going to this, they because of their inherent mistrust of you, we're never going
to be equal.

(55:24):
They're always going to suspect you.
They're always going to be looking for an opportunity to take what is ours.
Yeah, pretty much.
And for better or worse, he's not wrong.
I mean, basically the leader of the human faction is played by Gary Oldman.
And he gives this very like.
I want it's almost like the presidential speech in Independence Day, but it's the inverse

(55:50):
of that.
Like instead of unifying them in terms of like, let's put aside our differences.
And today is the day we declare Independence Day.
It's very much like, and this is our planet and we're going to take it back.
And these monkeys be damned.
And if they think that they own us and, you know, whatever they can tell us where we can
tread, they're mistaken.

(56:11):
I'll shoot any monkey that tries to take my gun from my cold, dead hand.
No step on snake.
Right.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Only good monkeys, a dead monkey, that kind of thing.
And it's, it's, it's very much he's rallying his people, but it's very much.
Yeah, it's a battle.
It's a battle cry for a different reason.
Yeah, exactly.
Yeah.
And who's the, I always forget that actor's name.

(56:32):
He was in the Pet Cemetery.
What's the main guy who kind of is more of the diplomat between Caesar, the actor.
I forget his name.
I don't know.
I don't know.
I don't know.
I don't know.
I just roll over that one.
Right.
Yeah.
Now he's the more of the diplomat between him and then obviously Caesar and him see eye-to-eye
and they have a pretty good understanding, but behind each faction of, you know, they
have a mutual respect for each other and like, hey, good.
But then, right, there's, there's behind the scenes powers that are plotting like, well,

(56:56):
I don't trust the eight.
So I need to prepare for war.
I mean, why not?
I mean, I don't know.
I don't know.
I don't know.
I don't know.
I don't know.
I don't know.
I don't know.
I don't know.
I don't know.
I'm not going to be eight, so I need to prepare for war.
I mean, while Cobas, I don't trust the humans, I need to prayer for war.

(57:17):
And also, and also I can, I can seize power by having people turn on Caesar.
So there is that element as well.
Having apes turn on Caesar.
Right.
Right.
He does have a whole kuta toss scene that plays out pretty well, but I mean, ultimately,
it's about.
The communication breaks down, it invariably leads to conflict, whether you're human, ape,

(57:40):
and not only within warring factions, but within the tribes themselves about how ulterior
motives and miscommunications and denial of reality invariably brings down entire kingdoms.
Yeah.
No, that's true.
And then you couple that with some little girl that sees her take that's the third one.
I'm sorry.

(58:01):
That's the.
Oh, yeah.
But no, it there also is a little bit of the apes also becoming the same thing they hate
in terms of their personality.
It's they then become the oppressors and they also, they could each learn a little bit from
each other, but they're.
Like most movies, everyone's a little bit short-sighted or you know, and Caesar's trying
to go out on a limb and extend extend the olive branch.

(58:23):
What you did there?
Yeah, extend the olive branch.
Yep.
Yep.
And Jason Clark's there trying to accept it and let people understand like, hey, they
could have just killed us all, so we need to take what they're giving us and have some
reverence for the.
And they have the recurrent theme of, you know, the apes mantra is ape does not kill
ape.
Yeah.
And then invariably, of course, because of in fighting and different ideologies, guess

(58:46):
what one rule gets broken, you know, it's it's ape sort of realizing that, oh, we are
more human or humans are more ape or however you want to do it.
We're in we're we're indiscriminate.
We're indecipherable from one another.
We have the exact same society based on mistrust and lust of power and a desire for resources

(59:10):
and invariably just I need to protect my own.
Yep.
A lot of parallels to nowadays, man.
People not coming off it.
So I get it.
And I genuinely like the plan of the apes franchise.
I'm really more in tune with the because I know I've watched the first one, the 1960
version many, many years ago.
I think it was actually when we were in St. Pete for some reason, I remember watching

(59:32):
those and I'm not like the new I saw three of the new ones.
I just didn't see the fourth one that came up.
Yeah, I have not yet either.
And that's that's pretty good though.
Yeah, I hear.
Yeah, I want to see how it plays out.
Apparently this is the last one that they're going to do before they either like drop the
series entirely or reboot it in a couple of years, depending on what the studios decide

(59:54):
to do.
I'm going to write a movie of what was going on with the humans while the virus hit while
the Simeon flew.
I agree.
We just got to write that movie.
That's a good one.
Who would you cast in that?
Andy Serkis, of course, everybody.
Well, no, I actually I flip it and have him play like one of the main humans.
Yeah, that'd be pretty funny.
No, I don't know.
I would have to figure out the direction of the movie first and what it was actually about

(01:00:18):
because it could easily just turn into 28 days later, you know, whereas people or, you
know, what's it called, last of us, whereas just humans are the.
Sure.
The enemy.
So sure.
I'd have to figure out the direction for I cast it.
So I would cast Jim Carrey as the man in the monkey suit.
I would just I'm going to roll with the what you've been watching while the famous I'm

(01:00:41):
cast in Sammy Rockwell.
Oh, as dancing monkey.
I'm going to cast John Leguizamo as other dancing monkey.
I don't I didn't say anything about monkeys yet.
I'm going to cast Rosario Dawson.
I'm going to be there.
I don't know some of the watching watching while the famous, you know, let's see what
happens.
Jeremy Renner is Archer eight.
Yeah, there we go.

(01:01:01):
Renner's got to be there.
I feel like I always forget our female representation and I know Regina King's on there.
Sure.
There's been more, though.
I always forget our female representative.
Oh, I would.
I would.
Margot Martin.
Margot Martin.
Oh yeah, she's on there.
Anyway, this is turning into just a me listing.
Some what's been watching while the famous, but that's where I start with Michael and

(01:01:23):
then we pivot out from there.
So yeah, other than that, then what do you think?
Are you let me know when you watch war because I thought war was pretty good.
I definitely going to get a give a review again.
I I've seen the third one.
I think it's called war for the planet.
Yeah, that's war for the planet.
And then the fourth one I haven't seen yet, which is kingdom of the planet.

(01:01:44):
Let me know when you do all watch it.
We can sit down and break it down.
Sure.
Watch three to catch up.
Sure.
Because I've seen three.
I've seen all three of those movies and they came out in theater.
So I was I liked them.
I thought they hit pretty well.
We're going to review them or more planet planet eight stalker.
I'm going to give it.
Let's see.
I'll give the franchise.

(01:02:05):
You maniacs, you blew it up.
You maniacs.
Damn you.
Damn you.
All the hell.
There is no way I'm topping that review.
So we're going to let that simmer for a minute.
Well, we'll put it on.
He went into his inner thesme on that one, y'all, just for you, the people.
We're going to take a quick break and we will be right back with more what you've

(01:02:25):
been watching from our sponsor backup cameras.
Please still look side to side.
Be right back.
and standard.

(01:02:55):
And we are back from our sponsor, Backup Cameras.
Backup cameras in your car.
They simply only look directly behind you.
If you are pulling out of a parking space, please continue to look left and right.

(01:03:18):
Also, I don't trust technology, so I'm still going to old school that shit and like just
turn my head.
Any ways, doggy style.
Let me ask you, brother.
Yes, sir.
What you been watching?
Oh, man.
Honestly, you have carried this episode and I am so grateful for that because I'm glad

(01:03:40):
you asked truly, but I have not been watching a lot.
Outside of the usual sports has started back up, so I will not bore y'all with the details
of my sporting endeavors.
I'll just say that Florida State gets your shit together and the Eagles, well done in
Brazil.
Well done in Brazil.
Wait, what now?

(01:04:00):
They played their opening game in São Paulo, Brazil.
The Eagles did.
For real?
Yeah, they call it football there, but it's soccer here.
They played it on a soccer pitch.
Apparently, the pitch is a field as well.
Yeah, they played it on a soccer pitch and it was like the ice skating rink.
Nobody could get traction.
It was pretty tough to watch.
Really?
Eagles still won.
Who do they play against?
Packers.

(01:04:20):
Okay.
Which is funny, the other thing just real quick is originally they said, and I think
there was a lot of misinformation, but they played it at Corinthian Stadium, which that's
the team that plays there is the Corinthians, and their colors are black and white.
Well, their rivals have the color or the color green.
And so there's a ban at the stadium that you cannot wear green in the stadium.

(01:04:45):
And yet they invited.
Because Brazilian soccer.
Yeah, but yeah, they're trying to cut down on hooliganism and just keep people safe.
So you're not allowed to wear green in the stadium.
It's been a city ordinance.
What's this?
What's this in Brazil?
In Portuguese.
I was going to say, how do you do that for them?
Yeah.
What's this then?
Yeah, I won't even try.
But no, it's just funny.
Just roll your Rs a lot.

(01:05:05):
Sounds like the Cheshire cat at some point or the caterpillar.
Oh, are you?
That's right.
Anyways, no, but I just find it funny that they ban green in the stadium and then they
invite the Green Bay Packers whose color is green and also the Philadelphia Eagles.
These colors are like, anyways, they went off without a hitch.

(01:05:28):
So nobody got injured.
At least some of the players, they had a giant list of do and do nots that the players were
like, man, this is a bunch of misinformation.
Everyone here's been so cool.
But I mean, robbery, I mean, it's everywhere.
You know, I think there is they gave them a big list.
Like, don't go over there and be an idiot.
Like you, you're pretty much when I was on the boat, they used to give us a whole, you
know, like departure rules, you know, like, hey, we're going to let you off the boat.

(01:05:51):
But like, here's some things you might need to know.
Like there are certain areas of town that are definitely run by, you know, cartels and
prostitutes.
And if you go there, you will get robbed.
Yeah.
We might not be able to help you kind of thing.
Or like, if you go into this section of town, it's only to buy drugs or prostitutes.

(01:06:11):
So don't go into that section of town because if you get busted, we're going to know.
Yeah, you know, yeah.
So kind of those things, but apparently it was, you know, everybody seemed to the players
at least had a good time.
So and the Eagles won.
So the only thing I will say, I got a show pitch for you.
And if you are a TV exact, thank you first off for listening.
We know our reach is wide and vast here and even so.

(01:06:34):
But I asked that you just include us on this coming this Sunday.
TV, right?
Just include us on this.
You don't necessarily, you know, I just don't want people stealing our stuff.
But copyright, patent pending.
So when we say that, I will say my TV show pitch though is now that sports are back.
I, uh, I listened to probably way more talk radio and talk like sports talk than I probably

(01:06:57):
need to sports analysis stuff.
Yeah.
And I want to, to get a TV show at least at the end of a season, like the football season
or whatever, where I just get current players to just rip on all the analysts the same way
that the analysts rip on the players.
And what do I mean by that?
These analysts and these sports takes guys, I understand that it's a gigs.

(01:07:20):
I'm not going to completely eviscerate them here, but you just sit in a room and you opine
all day and you're like, Oh, I think this, I think that, I think this, I think that.
Oh, what's your, and so welcome to the watch me watching podcast.
Yeah, I know.
I know, right?
Um, but they opine all day.
I just want to be clear.
Yeah.
No, I'm not.
Look, we're in the same boat.

(01:07:41):
That's why I have no problem doing it.
If you want to rip our takes apart, it'd be like, yeah, that's fair enough.
Two lightsabers, what kind of review is that even?
Yeah.
No, but the point is, is that they sit there and they judge these men in the arena all day.
And if you sit in a room, the gig is to opine, you know, to have an opinion on every single
sport, you know, damn near every single relevant sports, every play, every, everything, every,
oh, this person's going this way.

(01:08:02):
This, this person's going to this team and this is, they should have cut left, but they
cut right.
Yeah.
I just want current players to have a show, a platform at the end of the season to sit
there and play back all their takes that they got wrong because so often these guys, that's
genius, sit there and they, again, you have an opinion on everything.
You're bound to be right occasionally, but so many of these guys will go in afterwards

(01:08:24):
and bang their chest.
See, I told you, timestamp, but I told you, right?
They, and then they gloss over when they're wrong or when they flip flop.
Yeah.
If you look at their actual like quote unquote batting average is like, well, you got that
one right, but then you went up and struck out six times in a row.
Yeah.
Or they'll waffle the, I mean, which I get.
They're whole defenses.
Well, I got new information.
So I changed my opinion.

(01:08:45):
Okay.
Cool.
But you also banged your chest about it for a week going how this will never be.
There's no way that the Green Bay Packers will ever dominate over the Arizona Cardinals
dot, dot, actually, I'm going to take that back.
I found out they're playing in Arizona this month, this week.
So that was information that I didn't know.
And so I just want to run on this awesome sports manager named Jerry McGuire who changed

(01:09:08):
the team.
All right.
Right.
No, but I just want to be at hello.
That just gives current athletes a platform to rip them in return.
Be like, Hey, you remember when you said this and they play back the tape, which they do
for you and like, Oh, here he should have hooked right, but he hooked left.
And then the quarterback kind of miscommunication.
So they'll sit there and play the game.
Take back.
I just want them to play their takes back to them and just eviscerate them.

(01:09:30):
Just be like, yeah, you were dead ass wrong.
And you were talking a lot of shit about me and my team.
And just, you just need to sports guys that aren't afraid to really go after it.
So like, like, March on Lynch or something like that.
And like, I'm talking literally going to like the whiteboard, like John Madden style, like
boom, see right here where he writes down how Denver is going to win.
And then that was totally wrong.
Yeah.
Look at that.

(01:09:50):
When he picked this team to win the division and they came in dead last place.
Now I'm going to play you back the tape on September 10th.
Watch him waffle right here.
Watch him sweat profusely when confronted about it and outright lie to you.
The people claiming that he never said that on this day in March.
Oh, guess what?
They're slowing down the tape and like zoom it in.
They like, look, look right here.
They're like circling his eyebrow being like, look, look at the circle.
That's a sweat coming off his brow right here.

(01:10:12):
You could tell he's not committed to this statement.
Look at him try to interrupt his coworkers seven times because it's a debate show.
And he got, watch him getting cooked during this segment, being how wrong he is by the
people that are sitting at the desk and watch him double down two days later.
Go all the fuck he fucked it up.
Yeah.
I just think that would be fun.
Just being like, cause they get shit all day about, you know, like I said from these

(01:10:33):
guys just like, oh, and this team, he's not good and this person can't play.
And it's like, all right, let's flip this camera back on you from some people that are
actually in the arena and not just sitting around fucking giving their opinions all day.
Here's a thing.
I think there's a market for it.
It just, may I give you my opinion from a, if I was a producer, you know, like, just

(01:10:54):
we're playing roles here.
If I was the producer, let me give you my standpoint on that.
I think you could absolutely do a 22 minute segment on that.
You're not going to be able to stretch that into a whole sports center length feature.
No, I never, you know what I mean?
That also being said, I think that you could absolutely find a bunch of players that are

(01:11:15):
willing to sign up for that.
Now are they going to be funny?
Are they going to be cognizant?
Are they going to be, you know, have good points?
Or is it just going to be two sports players fucking around on 22 minutes?
Like you would just, you would have to really refine your, your choice of candidates to find
like people who are affable and funny and can continue a conversation as opposed to just

(01:11:39):
being like, yeah, fuck him.
I'm just, he got it wrong.
I'm just here so I don't get sued.
Yeah.
Well, no, that's like anything.
You, like if you do color commentary for football or whatever, like you got to have
a take like Troy Aikman will kind of bust some ass.
Like, but if everyone, oh yeah, the refs did a good job.
Everyone's doing a good job all the time.
It's just boring.
So you got to have somebody that's willing to get after it.

(01:12:01):
But yeah, no, it's just really the same thing of just, and this is why I can't talk sports
with a lot of people is everyone just plays the results.
I'm guilty of it too.
We Monday morning quarterbacking knowing the results of what happened.
Oh, they should have done it.
And like, you don't know shit.
Thank you captain hindsight.
Yeah.
We all just sit around and play the results.
Well, if it was me, I would have definitely thrown that one instead of taking that tackle.

(01:12:23):
Like, well, yeah, you had the overhead camera looking at the dude sneaking in from the back
field that sacked him.
The quarterbacks looking completely left and got hit from the right.
So of course that's what you would have done.
Yeah.
Overhead camera.
You dumbass.
Yeah, or no, you're again, you're playing the results.
And I just think it'd be fun for some of these current athletes to play the results of some
of these dumbass takes that I listen to all day.

(01:12:45):
But I'm like, you can't, are you playing a character right now for ratings?
Because there's no way you're saying this with a straight face and then in turn trying
to be respected amongst your peers of this dumbass take.
Right.
Right.
And I want people to point that out and go, remember when he said that that one day and
then you doubled down all week and then every month until the season was over.
Yeah, you're a dumbass.
Right.

(01:13:05):
Right.
Because that's what you do to us all day.
Yeah, you play the results.
Okay.
So let's play the, I don't know.
I think it'd be fun.
You're right.
But there is something to be said for like, well, if you look at the stats on the board
here, he called, he made 178 calls and percentage wise, he hit 28%.
Like I'm just saying, those are rookie numbers.
Right.
Business 15 years.
I would have benched his ass.

(01:13:25):
Yeah.
He could only work like you said.
Somebody give me Brian Gumbel.
All right.
I'll take Barney Gumbel.
I'll take Barney Rubble.
Yeah.
No, but it would only work if you actually had players that were willing to like, yeah,
or either like just quit the league or are on their way out.
Have nothing to lose.
Yeah.
I don't know.

(01:13:46):
I'm going to eviscerate.
Bring in Tom Brady to be like, well, yeah.
Yeah.
You shut the fuck up for life.
If I was wrong, 42% of the time.
One of us has a Super Bowl ring for each finger plus one for his cock and bang Giselle Bunchen
and also, oh, is the greatest of all time and going unequivably into the Hall of Fame
first round draft picks.
So if I was you, I don't know.

(01:14:09):
Shut the fuck up.
Exactly.
So that's my, that's my pitch for the show.
We'll call it a playing the results.
Yeah, it'd be a fun show.
So don't take my stuff.
I would love to see that.
Like just, just them doing a John Madden of just like, boom, see how he puts the marker
right here and he's totally off.
Or just do it at the end of the season where you can just take all these bad takes that
got underneath someone that was like, they call it bulletin board material when they

(01:14:30):
hear these and I don't mean like the play by play guys, like they're just doing their
job.
They're just calling the game as a game.
I mean, the people that sit around on the couch.
Yeah.
The ESPN, you know, the, not to call them out like Stephen A Smith, Nick Wright, who I
have a love and hate relationship with both of them.
Not to call them out, but here's the thing.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
But I just mean, you know, those types, not like the play by play guys.
But anyways, I think that specifically them.

(01:14:52):
Those, those types, right?
Nick Wright does get them on there for legal distinction reasons.
Some people, you know, this is some people do this and I respect it to a certain extent
because we all do where like, for example, I'll say somebody that I'm not a big fan of
Ben Sharpeiro.
I can say he's a very intelligent guy.
I think nobody can argue that point.

(01:15:13):
But what he does, something that I find insufferable is that he has his opinion and then he goes
where it seems like at least like he works backwards to validate that.
He's like, I feel this way about this subject.
And he's like, now let's go get the data.
I've cultivated all these facts to back it up.
To back it up.
It's like, okay.
I feel the same way about Bill Maher.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
It's like, again, you're, you're just in like, if you can find the evidence to support what

(01:15:38):
you're saying, like I, I get that, but it seems like your opinion came first, you know,
you know what they say, 97% of statistics can be manipulated to show whatever the fuck
you want.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So anyways, that's my.
So 48% of statistics are brought completely out of my asshole.
Yeah, they are.
What else is in there?
Sometimes you get two thumbs in there.

(01:15:59):
Two thumbs in there.
I like to fall.
Make you think, but you may need to take a shower.
Other than that though, I really haven't been watching much.
I've just been really busy.
A lot, a lot happening off the field as it were.
I have been watching some American dad recently, which I'm always, we don't always talk about
everything we're watching because some of it is just so routine for me.
You can bet money that if I'm falling asleep at night, I put a cartoon on to fall asleep

(01:16:24):
to if it's a new, only because it's something I know.
If it's something that I've not seen, I will stay up there with one eye open, seeing how
it plays out.
So it's got to be mindless enough to drown out some of the noise, but then also I can't
be invested in it.
And so oftentimes that's cartoons that I've seen a million times.
But see, I have the opposite problems where I'll put on like a cartoon, like Futurama

(01:16:46):
or something to fall asleep to, and then it'll be the Amazonian episode where it's like,
I got to stay awake for death, for snoo snoo.
Yeah.
Yeah.
No, I typically know it's coming.
So either way, here or there.
Wait, say the line, Bart.
He's going to do it here.
Hold on.
Wait, say the line, Bart.
Yeah.
Yeah, I hear you.

(01:17:07):
But yeah, so I've been watching a little bit of American dad recently as I tip way into
my slumbers and usually I'm up desk rolling on my phone.
So I'll catch a couple of episodes here and there.
And that show I got to give credit to, they do something.
This is a little bit of a walk to get where I'm going.
So you're going to have to bear with me.
Back in the early, take me there son.
Back in the early days of the Simpsons, when they had, they're at the peak of their powers,

(01:17:30):
I would say it was the guy that was the executive producer of the office.
I forget he was writing on it.
Brad Bird, the director of the Incredibles was directing on it.
Conan O'Brien was a writer for it.
And Conan O'Brien in that squad, they did something that was really imitated often.
Well, the Simpsons alone have been imitated often.

(01:17:52):
You don't get to the Simpsons without the Flintstones and you don't get damn near any
one of the modern day shows that are very popular like Family Guys, all that without.
Oh, it's benchmark.
Yeah, yeah.
The nuclear family.
The Flintstones was the cartoon of its time.
The Jetsons was the cartoon of its time.
Right.
And that alcoholic kind of dumb husband, super hot wife, really caring, keeping the house

(01:18:15):
together kind of thing.
The married with children of it all.
Right.
So anyway, what they would do Conan O'Brien and that writing staff is they would often
write a part of a plot line and I'll just use something as an example.
All right, so bear with me.
Homer has had a million jobs.
So in this episode, let's say he becomes a fireman at first.

(01:18:38):
And at first you would think, oh, the whole episode is going to be about him being a fireman.
What Conan O'Brien so brilliantly did is they would take plot lines and then just throw him
away and they would go absolutely nowhere because the fireman segment would lead to
him crashing through a roof of some celebrity.
And then you're like, oh, well, now it's really about his journey with a celebrity.
And it really had nothing to do with him being a fireman in the first place.

(01:19:02):
And a lot of TV shows, whether it be Family Guy where it's like, oh, Peter's going to,
Peter has to become a pirate first in order for the parrot that he has to get injured
in order for them to go to the veterinarian's office in order for Chris to fall in love
with the veterinarian receptionist.
And so it's a lot.
Homer goes to be a it's like set up to lead into the story, but then the actual lead up

(01:19:26):
doesn't have anything to do with the story.
What's a lever like Homer goes to the rodeo and then ends up becoming a vegan.
And then the whole story is about him becoming a vegan.
Right.
And so, you don't know, Brian and the Simpsons really popularized that.
Okay.
And they do it in Family Guy.
They do it in a lot of cartoons.
It's a trend that you'll see.
What I wanted to say was about American dad for those who don't know, they have a character

(01:19:47):
on there.
He's a space alien named Roger.
Okay.
Most of y'all probably know that.
Now, Roger's his thing is he has nothing to do all day.
He's bored and he's not allowed to go outside and just be an alien because, you know, he'll
get arrested and the main character Stan will get a blow the cover.
Yeah.
The cover will be blown.
He'll get disguised and he comes up with all these silly characters, you know, the Ricky

(01:20:08):
Spanish is of the world.
All he does is sit around and watch plays, movies, read books.
So all he does is just like assimilate earth culture and earth entertainment.
And he's just bored also.
Right.
He's just like, oh, he's been on the planet since Roswell basically.
Yeah.
And so he wants to go play all the time.
And that's really what he is.

(01:20:29):
But he takes these characters.
He does very seriously.
And American dad has found a way to fast forward through that initial setup that we were talking
about earlier with it being, oh, first Homer is going to be an astronaut.
And then the astronauts going to lead him actually raising an ant farm or whatever, you
know, whatever the hell it may be filling the blanks.
What they do with Roger is they just often go, oh yeah, Roger is that person.

(01:20:52):
So they don't have to set all up.
Oh, how did, you know, how did Homer become this?
They just have a character that goes, well, Rogers has a character that is that is blank.
Sure.
And there's a plot device that they need, but they're like, oh my God, the house is
haunted and we need to exorcist.
Like you can bet more than nine out of 10 times.
It's just going to be Roger.
And so they, I found it in the old priests and the new priests and the old priest shows

(01:21:15):
up and it's, you know, like James Kahn or something like that doing a voice.
And then it's like, well, who's the young priest?
Hello.
Yeah.
Roger Roger.
Time to costume.
Yeah.
They even make a joke about it often in the show where they're like, I know a guy that
can find you cats or whatever and they, one of the characters like, it's just going to
be you when we get there.
Isn't it?
And he's like, no, when he gets there, of course it's like, right.

(01:21:36):
And so I just found it interesting and I really thought of it that way about the current trend
of, of what, what was made so popular by the Simpsons got really turned on its ear by American
dad.
Just when we have a character that can be the, what do you call it, the Sally?
Oh, the, the, the Mary Sue, Mary Sue or the, the Gary, the Gary stew.
Yeah.

(01:21:57):
So in terms of, in most sitcoms, you would have the, like the situation like, oh, well,
I've got a durable guy and it's some guest star.
They're going to bring on whatever instead of doing the guest star, they just make the
durable guy Roger.
Time to time again.
He was just doing a new character, you know, like, and they, they literally address it
in the show where they're like, Roger.

(01:22:19):
It's like my name is Gary Michaels Anderson and I deal in gerbils.
Yeah, exactly.
And he's got a wig and a costume and like he won't respond to Roger, but if you call
him Gary Michael Anderson the entire time or like Mr. Gerbil or whatever his monocle
is, you know, like that's his character.
Yeah.
It's, it's a, it's, I, I know what you're talking about.

(01:22:40):
It's a weird way to circumvent the like, well, I know a guy as opposed to just being like,
I am the guy.
Yeah.
And it's a, a foolproof plan every time with every episode because it is so ingrained in
the character of our, who's he going to play this week, you know, and see, he's one of
the more popular characters on the show.
Certainly a shout out to Seth McFarland for having two smash hits cartoon running simultaneously.

(01:23:03):
But I just always, I just wanted to take, so we're just going to disregard the Cleveland
show and the Hannah Barberas of the world.
Oh no.
Oh yeah.
But, uh, welcome to the Racky Waces.
Woo.
The Wacky Waces is awesome.
But I don't know, I just thought it was interesting.
Like I said, that it's a really popular trend in, in cartoons that they do and they can
really just, like I said, hit the fast forward button through so much of it just to bring

(01:23:24):
on.
Right.
And it's not like they like are granted some huge benefit of like, oh wow, we really painted
ourselves into a corner there.
It's cartoons.
It's all silly.
Sure.
It just fast forwards the silliness.
You're like, we can get into how this is going to affect the family much faster without
having, there's no, we don't need to set up.
We don't have to go have Stan and the family go meet a guy.

(01:23:45):
Yeah.
Or it's just going to be Roger like, oh, well I can help you out with that.
Yeah.
Or Stan gets a job doing blank.
They can still do those things and they often still do those things.
I just was taking a moment to appreciate like, that was a nice little cheat code you did
there with the character.
So it is kind of the Konami code.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And so I've been kind of on American dad kick and it's been, I don't know why that dawned

(01:24:05):
on me enough to share.
Maybe I just watched too many damn cartoons.
I was really proud of myself for realizing that and I needed somebody to share it with
and thank God I have a platform that I can share my nonsense and takes on, on plot devices.
So there you go.
I mean, how many times have I watched something that been like, oh my God, I just noticed
that like Labyrinth is a story about puberty and growing up and you were like, yeah, dude,

(01:24:28):
that's the whole fucking point.
I'm like, oh, well, I mean, it only took me 127 views to realize that.
So I mean, fuck me, right?
Michael Storm is always like, dance, magic, dance.
I just got lost in the cod piece.
As soon as it was David Bowie's dick in my face, I was just like, this movie's amazing.

(01:24:49):
Hypnotizing.
It does.
But yeah, that's pretty much all I've been watching, man.
I've been just watching the cartoons, watching some sports and just been really, really busy
otherwise.
So I'm glad I got to chime in on some of your stuff you've been doing.
Oh, you did tell me about, you watched a martial arts movie recently.
Oh, Monkey Man.

(01:25:10):
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, Dev Patel directed.
Which I want to see.
So like if you don't want to talk about it, that's okay.
Like I would love to watch it and we can talk about it.
Well, we'll peek behind the curtain real quick.
We do plan on talking about that and we may get a hopefully, hopefully we get the middle
duds to come in here and rap about it because he saw it as well.
And it's a martial arts film.

(01:25:31):
It's based in India.
It's directed by, which really caught my attention.
Dev Patel.
Yeah, from Green Night and Slumdog Millionaires.
The big one.
Yeah, a lot of things.
He's an incredibly talented actor.
I'll say this without, and you'll probably hear me say it again on the day, but just
for those that have stuck with us thus far.

(01:25:52):
There's a rapper, most people know him.
His name is Kendrick Lamar.
Sure.
All right.
Whether you like or hate him or like his music or anything like that.
I was more of a Drake fan.
Yeah, I'm sure you were.
I'm sure you were.
Wait a minute.
I don't know what I just agreed to.
Yeah, exactly.
No, but whether you love or hate that guy or his music, whatever.
The one thing you can tell about him is he was raised on a healthy appetite of good hip-hop.

(01:26:14):
Sure.
You can tell that Dev Patel was raised on a very healthy dose of or had a healthy appetite
for very good martial arts movies.
Sure.
And so it's a very, it's very cool to watch him try to do some of the similar things and
there's some interesting things that.
Peace mealing out all the choices parts in terms of like, ooh, I like this cut.

(01:26:35):
I like the way this was done.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I hear what you're saying.
I haven't seen it.
I'm trying to pick up on what you're saying.
Yeah.
I mean, you can tell like with Kendrick, you'd be like, oh, he's been influenced.
He's been listening to this for a long time before he even picked up the, and you can
tell Dev Patel has been watching Kung Fu flicks for a long time before he ever picked up the
camera and decided to go make.
Sure.

(01:26:56):
And the whole movie, all the behind the scenes stuff, which we'll talk about is a true love
letter, which makes me like the movie more.
Sure.
So, so I did see that.
We're going to talk about that.
And I also saw Beetlejuice.
Beetlejuice.
Wait, I'll say it again.
I can't, I can't.
It's my fault.
But we're going to talk about that in the upcoming episodes.
A little teaser for you.
Give people time to catch up.
We definitely do have the spooky season spectacular coming up.

(01:27:20):
So, we got that look for it too.
I got a couple of movies I can talk about that have absolutely terrified me.
Well, well, well, well, well, well, we have teased it long enough.
I think that is going to wrap it up for us unless you got any pressing issues you want
to talk about, man.
You know, I love you.
You know, I appreciate our time together truly.
Yeah, for sure, man.
For sure.
I mean, kind of behind the scenes, man, this has been a really good just sit down and talk

(01:27:45):
with you.
I know that we've had a lot of weird cuts and I hope I'm not peeling the curtain too
back behind to show the visor vase, but it's been a good hang with you.
Likewise, brother.
It's been not just doing the podcast, but I've enjoyed your company.
Likewise, my friend.
That's why we keep doing it because we like to, you know, hang out.

(01:28:06):
That gives us a reason to rap about some things and have the common theme of something we've
been watching because I will be asking one way or the other.
I got nowhere else to go.
Well, on that note, I would recommend that you go watch a movie and talk about it with
somebody that you love.
