time.
We praise Jesus, we make somejokes and we pray.

Speaker 1 (02:17):
That's right and without fail.
It's always the first Friday ofevery month, except on the 4th
of July, except on the 4th ofJuly.
We're going to push that oneback probably a week, yeah, yeah
.
Just so we can be with friendsand family.

Speaker 2 (02:35):
Yeah, so we can be with friends and family and so
we don't have to compete withfireworks.

Speaker 1 (02:39):
So we'll just be live streaming and just go.
Just so much in the background.
Also, like you said, no one'sgoing to be watching because,
yeah everyone's going to be.

Speaker 2 (02:49):
Well, I would hope everyone would be outside
watching fireworks, becausethat's pretty fun.

Speaker 1 (02:54):
Maybe we should do it and then just try to compete
with the fire in the sky.

Speaker 2 (03:01):
Nah, dude, I'm okay with it.

Speaker 1 (03:05):
So, Juras how are you doing?
I'm doing good.
How are you doing?

Speaker 2 (03:09):
I'm doing pretty good .
How do you feel about ourexploration into Vikingdom last
week?

Speaker 1 (03:16):
It was fun.
It was a fun episode to edit aswell.

Speaker 2 (03:19):
I think it was a good time and I think if you haven't
listened to it, you totallyshould.

Speaker 1 (03:24):
So that is episode 39 of the podcast.
It won't be too hard to find,because you go back one episode.
That's right and that's hownumbers work.

Speaker 2 (03:34):
I'm gonna keep interrupting you as you try to
talk yeah, we talk about allthings viking media and we
really, we really spend a decentamount of time talking about
video games.
So if you're a big video gameperson, definitely go listen to

(03:55):
that episode, because there'ssome good recommendations on
there.
And that okay, talking aboutthe games got me so excited that
I re-downloaded Valheim duringthe recording.
Yeah, you hear it, yeah, youhear it, yeah, you hear it.
And then I played afterwardsand dude, Is anything changed.
There's updates, yeah, there'smore stuff to the game, but it's
still so much fun and I thinkwhat adds to that game is that

(04:29):
the soundtrack for the gamehelps immerse you into the just
exploring and going around,because that's most of the game
is exploration.
You have to explore, yeah, toget what you need to be able to
do the games very minecraftinspired yeah, yeah, very
minecrafty so I'll download it.

Speaker 1 (04:42):
I'm not going, I'm not going to guarantee that I
play it, but I'll download it.
I'll go re-download it.
It's probably actually stilldownloaded, yeah.

Speaker 2 (04:49):
Just play like two times.
Two times We'll start a new mapso you can start from the
beginning.
Because I think that's the dealis you came in on my map and I
was already Decked out yeah faralong and there was just too
much to look at and get into andstuff, so you got to start at
the beginning.

Speaker 1 (05:08):
I have a counter proposal on that.
Okay, let's wait, and I thinkit would be so much funnier if
we streamed it me trying to playthe game for the first time,
essentially like from fresh.
Let's do it, and with that,that is a segue into promoting
that the saints that play is onthe way that's right.

Speaker 2 (05:30):
We are going to be launching a live streaming video
game platform or channelchannel, uh, and it will be on
twitch and youtube and you cancheck all that stuff out.
But, uh, if you look it up,saints that play on youtube it's
there.
We just haven't started yet,yeah, and a lot of the searches

(05:53):
will be for the football teamsaints that play, yeah, so try
to find the channel saints thatplay what I'm going to do in
this particular episode.

Speaker 1 (06:05):
In the show notes I'm going to put a link to the
Twitch channel and the YouTubechannel.

Speaker 2 (06:09):
That's very thoughtful of you.

Speaker 1 (06:11):
And I'll do the Facebook page as well.
So why don't you go over thereand just like that?
Yeah, Pretty please.

Speaker 2 (06:17):
Please, alright, cool , well, that's all we got.

Speaker 1 (06:23):
I want to talk about it for just a second Okay.

Speaker 2 (06:26):
What do you want to talk about?

Speaker 1 (06:27):
I got the Switch 2.

Speaker 2 (06:29):
Yay, Yay, yay, I don't have anything good for
that, sorry.

Speaker 1 (06:35):
You're just looking for any kind of button.

Speaker 2 (06:36):
I was going to try and press a button, but hey
Charlie, I don't know.

Speaker 1 (06:44):
Okay, that could connect Charles martinez, the
guy who voiced mario.
So there you go.
Hey, charlie all right, butyeah, I'm just a quick, just
mini jairus review on the switchto fantastic console you really
like it?

Speaker 2 (07:02):
yeah, really is it everything you ever wanted, big
boy?

Speaker 1 (07:04):
um no, not everything dang, it doesn't.
It doesn't print money for meor anything, you know what I
mean.
Like it doesn't provide threewishes, it's not lord of the
rings.

Speaker 2 (07:19):
I'm waiting for nintendo to come out with a
mobile carry-with-you gamingconsole that also has an
attachment to a comfy chair, sothat, while I'm on the go
playing games, if I want to stopand sit down, I can.

Speaker 1 (07:35):
Yeah, so you press a button and it just ejects a
chair out of the console, yeah,but it like hits you in the
abdomen, oh yeah.
But, no like oh.

Speaker 2 (07:45):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (07:45):
But no, it's a lot of fun.
My recommendation right now ifyou are thinking about getting a
Switch 2, only get it if youhave Switch 1 games.
Yeah, If you skip the Switch 1,and you're like, oh, now I'll
get the Switch 2.
There's not a lot to play on itright now.

(08:06):
Yeah, for me, the big game thatcame with it was also the big
game I was going to play themost with, which is Mario Kart,
mario Kart World.

Speaker 2 (08:19):
World.

Speaker 1 (08:20):
Oh yeah, because it's an open world game.
Yeah, that's pretty sweet.
I also have old Switch gamesand the reason why I say that is
because it takes advantage ofthe more powerful hardware in
the Switch 2 to allow for yourold Switch 1 games to run
smoother.
There's games that run doo-dooon the Switch 1 that run

(08:40):
perfectly on the Switch 2.

Speaker 2 (08:42):
Yeah, can we talk about how annoyed you are with
xbox?

Speaker 1 (08:46):
do you want to?
Do you want to?
Just real quick, real quickokay, so over the weekend xbox
and had like a press conferencething showing off new games yeah
, conveniently right as theswitch two's coming out well,
even better, they uh thatweekend.
So the Switch 2 came out onThursday.
Friday they did the Summer GameFest, which was a bunch of game

(09:08):
announcements which showedalmost no Nintendo things at all
, oh really.
And then Sunday I didn't watchthis, but there was the Xbox
Game press conference as well,yeah, and so they announced
their handheld.
It's like, oh, you know, tryingto show it off like, oh, yeah,
what is it?
Xbox ROG, is that what it is?
So it's called the Xbox ROGAlly and Xbox ROG Ally X.

(09:34):
There's two of them, so I willrefer to them as the S and the X
, because that's what Xbox doeswith their consoles.
They have their lesser consoleand then their higher end
console.
They call their lower endconsole the S, the higher end, x
.
Yeah, so for the sake of me notsaying Xbox ROG ally multiple

(09:54):
times I respect that I'll justsay the S and the X.
Okay, so it's a handheld.
The S is obviously lesserpowerful.
X is better, the so the screenon it is smaller than the switch
.
Okay too, it's.
I think it's got the sameresolution, if I'm not mistaken.

(10:18):
Okay, and it's like the s is650 dollars and the X is $1,000.
Yeah, and I'm just like, okay,cool.
Well, what does it do?
It's just a ROG ally, which isa system that they already sell.
Rog Republic of Gaming.

Speaker 2 (10:38):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (10:39):
Is a gaming company that produces gaming PC,
handheld PCs yeah, yeah, thatyou can just play Steam or
whatever off of, okay, and Xboxreally isn't actually putting
this platform out.
They didn't do anything, theyjust slapped their brand on it
and they have their storefrontoperating system that is built

(11:01):
into the system which alreadyexists.
So it's like they're making itout like, oh, we made this great
system and it is probablyreally good, yeah, but xbox
really didn't do much of it.
Nintendo fully developed aconsole yeah, that has all these

(11:22):
great features, and rog madethis great console, or or
handheld that has all thesegreat features, and ROG made
this great console, or orhandheld that has all these
great features, and Microsoftsaid, all right, microsoft, rog
ally, like it's just, it'sannoying.

Speaker 2 (11:37):
I wonder if any of it is scrambling to stay relevant
because of the switch to.

Speaker 1 (11:41):
I mean, okay, switch to is announced and so, and then
you know, and then on,conveniently, on two days after
the release day, xbox has ahandheld out of nowhere yeah,
yeah and it's just branding yeah, yeah.

Speaker 2 (11:56):
Well, and you said that the switch hasn't really,
or nintendo hasn't really,announced any new games, like
what is the plan for the Switch2?
Because obviously they need tohave games for it.

Speaker 1 (12:08):
Oh, they've got games coming.
Okay, they just didn't announceit, but they just don't.
I mean over the weekend, no,but they showed off a lot of
stuff at their like.
About two months ago they had apress conference to kind of
show off the Switch 2 greaterbefore the launch of it.
They've got stuff coming.
They have at least now, keep inmind, nintendo is the big

(12:32):
company that puts out.
They'll put out their own games, yeah, and then other third
parties will also put stuff out,so we'll have stuff between
this.
But they have at least one gamea month coming out, just
Nintendo.
Okay, cool, and those arealways the big tent pole like,
oh, big deal games, you know.

Speaker 2 (12:48):
I mean that kind of thing so, speaking of games
growing up, we're gonna do ablast of the past real quick
before we get into our maintopic tonight it's funny that
you say that, because I have agame we want.

Speaker 1 (13:01):
I want play Okay.

Speaker 2 (13:03):
So this is more of just a question, right, because
it kind of plays into the introfor tonight for the main topic.
But growing up we'll say middleschool, high school, it's
Friday night, it's Friday nightParty.
Like kid party.
You know what I mean, butyou're spending the night or

(13:23):
whatever.
There's a bunch of you alltogether.
What's what is happening mostof the night?
What are you all doing for mostof the night?
Playing that game, cube.
Playing that game, cube babysmash brothers, smash brothers.

Speaker 1 (13:36):
Okay, I can't think of too many other.
I'm sure there was plenty ofthem.
Oh, what was it?
Final fantasy, crystalchronicles do you know what that
is?
Uh, no, no, so it's ahead ofits time where you were four
characters on the screen doingyour stuff yeah but instead of
pausing the screen to look atyour menu, it was like an rpg
type game you had.

(13:57):
You would attach your game boyadvances to it.
So your menu for your specificcharacter was on your game queue
.
Sorry, not game your Game BoyAdvance screen.

Speaker 2 (14:07):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (14:07):
And you were able to navigate the menus there.

Speaker 2 (14:10):
That's pretty sweet.

Speaker 1 (14:11):
Yeah, some old school stuff.
It's really cool yeah.

Speaker 2 (14:15):
Yeah, for me it was either yeah, we would do movies,
or we would play Call of Dutyor Halo.
Yeah, I remember you comingover a couple times and we did
some, we did some halo, halo,halo halo.

Speaker 1 (14:30):
It's so much fun and it well it was it's all right,
but okay.
So nothing compares to halo oneand two no, and I really do
feel like what's missing fromthese games is that party aspect
.
Nowadays, yeah, lane party,lane party like online, has

(14:50):
taken away something yeah andthat split screen.
Yeah, you have a full screen toyourself, but like games are
not really made around itanymore as well yeah like you
try to play split screen now onmodern games.
It doesn't work as great as itdid back then.

Speaker 2 (15:07):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (15:08):
And on a smaller screen too.
Yeah, you know what I mean.
We had so much more fun playingsplit screen on a tiny TV where
you had literally the size ofyour cell phone screen, just
about real estate.
Yeah, and you were having somuch more fun.
There's, it's just it doesn'texist, and so something like

(15:28):
halo isn't as fun anymore.
Yeah, because that sense ofcommunity isn't there, the
nostalgic feeling of pizza halo.
We're gonna watch some movieslater on.
You know what I mean yeah, thatnostalgia, that nostalgia.

Speaker 2 (15:44):
Yep, yep, yep, I agree.
All right, what's your game?

Speaker 1 (15:47):
All right, so a little introduction.
Last week we kind of talkedabout different generational
slang words.

Speaker 2 (15:58):
Oh, boy, and.

Speaker 1 (15:58):
I hinted at it a little bit that we were going to
talk about it.
Okay, and so, instead oftalking about it, I have what
we're called Guess thatGeneration, great.
So I'm going to give you aslang word, okay, and you have
to guess what generation it'sfrom.

Speaker 2 (16:15):
Okay.

Speaker 1 (16:16):
And your options are the Silent Generation, baby
Boomers, gen X, millennials, genZ or Gen Alpha.

Speaker 2 (16:25):
Are you kidding me?
There's so many.

Speaker 1 (16:27):
It won't be as hard as you think.
It is Okay, hold on, hold on,hold on.
That's me ripping off so Johncan have his options.

Speaker 2 (16:36):
All right, right there.

Speaker 1 (16:38):
Okay, I'm ready.
Good, so are you ready?
Yes, all right.
So question one your slang isthe fuzz.
Oh, and bonus, bonus points.
If you can tell me what theslang means the fuzz, the fuzz.

Speaker 2 (16:57):
That's going to be.
That's going to be the babyboomers, all right and bonus
points.

Speaker 1 (17:07):
If you can tell me what the fuzz is police.
You got both correct.

Speaker 2 (17:11):
there you go you want to know why?
Why the movie hot fuzz?
Yeah, it was in the 70s.
No, hot fuzz was not in the 70s.
No, it's based in the 70s.
Oh okay, I was like no well,actually no, it is the original
ones from the 70s.
There's an original hot buzz,yeah.
And then they did a remake withuh owen wilson and uh, who's he

(17:33):
, who's the other actor?

Speaker 1 (17:35):
sean bean.
Sean bean, not sean bean.
Uh geez, what's his name?
It's the same guy who was in uhshauna the dead.
It's that duo.
They have three movies thatthey're in together oh hot, oh,
oh, hop.

Speaker 2 (17:51):
No, what am I thinking of?
Never mind owen wilson's not inhot fuzz.
Yeah, yeah, you're right,that's not based in the 70s.
Simon pegg and nick frost.
Yeah, that's based in likerural.
Yeah, are you thinking?

Speaker 1 (18:05):
of Starsky and Hutch I'm thinking of.

Speaker 2 (18:07):
Starsky and Hutch.

Speaker 1 (18:08):
Dude, that's so bad.
What the heck?
Starsky and Hutch, I love thatmovie with Owen Wilson and Ben
Stiller Hot buzz.

Speaker 2 (18:19):
Hot buzz.
I guess they say the fuzz inthe movie.
That's why I said the movie'scalled Hot Pants.

Speaker 1 (18:29):
Is Will Ferrell in that movie.

Speaker 2 (18:31):
Will Ferrell.

Speaker 1 (18:32):
Yeah, I know Snoop Dogg's in it If he does.

Speaker 2 (18:34):
He just does a cameo.
He's not a character.
Yeah, yeah, snoop Dogg's acharacter yeah, but I can't
think of who else is in it.

Speaker 1 (18:43):
It I bet you money that they kind of had
connections from old school tomake that movie, because will
ferrell was in that snoop dogwas in old school.
Yeah, maybe I don't know ashimself, by the way, we'll talk
about that, okay, so anyways, Idon't even know how to say this,
so, chugi.

Speaker 2 (19:08):
Chugi.

Speaker 1 (19:09):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (19:11):
Gen Alpha no.

Speaker 1 (19:15):
Oh, do you know what Chugi means?

Speaker 2 (19:17):
No, because I don't even know what it's from.

Speaker 1 (19:19):
It's Gen.

Speaker 2 (19:20):
Z oh Gen Z.

Speaker 1 (19:21):
Okay, it's used to describe something that's uncool
or out of date, especially formillennials, like they're
describing millennials as choogyoh wow, dude, I did not realize
this, but the youngest peoplefrom gen z are what?

Speaker 2 (19:40):
13 years old now.

Speaker 1 (19:41):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (19:42):
That's crazy.

Speaker 1 (19:44):
Crazy Mm-hmm.
All right, here's one Coolbeans.

Speaker 2 (19:50):
Cool beans.
That, my friends, ismillennials.

Speaker 1 (19:54):
That, my friend, is incorrect.
Are you kidding?

Speaker 2 (19:57):
me.
Yeah, what is it?
It's Gen X.

Speaker 1 (20:01):
No, yeah, that's our thing, we made it our thing
because of hot rod.
Cool beans is a super oldphrase really.
Yeah, okay, a quirky way to saycool in the 80s and 90s okay,
that's not.

Speaker 2 (20:17):
Uh, because millennials are in the 90s and
most of the 80s gen x wereteenagers in the 80s.

Speaker 1 (20:24):
Sure, but that's still a phrase for them.
Doesn't mean that during thattime it was used by that
generation.
I relent, okay, cool, goodCat's pajamas.

Speaker 2 (20:41):
Baby boomers.

Speaker 1 (20:43):
Silent generation.
Are you kidding me?
What does it mean?

Speaker 2 (20:48):
Uh, like that's really cool or that's really
sweet, that's the best thingever.
Pretty much, yeah, okay.

Speaker 1 (20:57):
You're not saying how it's described here, but you
know how is it described.
It didn't?
What the heck.
You're just over there justsaying stuff.
I am just saying stuff.
All right, question five thatslaps, that slaps.

Speaker 2 (21:13):
Yes, it's either Millennial or Gen Z, which one
is?

Speaker 1 (21:18):
it though.

Speaker 2 (21:18):
I'm going to say Gen Z.

Speaker 1 (21:23):
Correct.
All right, and what does itmean?
Uh, that's awesome.
Yeah, a current phrase todescribe anything that hits hard
in a good way see, even that'sslang.

Speaker 2 (21:37):
They're using slang to explain slang.
All right, because hits hard isthe millennial version of that
slaps, yeah what?

Speaker 1 (21:47):
the heck what goes hard, it goes hard, yeah, yeah.
Question six talk to the handtalk to the hand yep gen x
correct there we go, and whatdoes it mean?

Speaker 2 (22:00):
like don't talk to me anymore.
I'm done with you pretty much.
Yeah, um, you just wrote downslang and then you just lifted
up to your own interpretation,didn't you?

Speaker 1 (22:17):
I I used a site that kind of gave it to me and I very
quickly put this together, okay, okay, as a last minute game.
So that's why some of thesearen't the best descriptions on
them.
I gotcha um yolo that ismillennials correct and what
does it mean?

Speaker 2 (22:36):
you only live once all right.

Speaker 1 (22:38):
And who came up with the phrase?

Speaker 2 (22:40):
what, yeah, bonus, bonus I don't know, I have no
idea who came up with thatphrase.
The rapper drake?
Oh, that's not, that's coolquestion eight.
We have 10 total, by the wayokay all right, uh, daddy, oh
daddy, oh yep, that's gonna bethe silent generation, correct?

(23:05):
Yeah, and it's like, it's justlike a slang it's funny because
it's slang and then it describesthe slang with slang for man or
dude, daddy, oc, that's fromall those gangster movies, daddy
OC.
I'm your daddy OC, alright, soNow play that saxophone before I

(23:33):
slap you across the face.

Speaker 1 (23:35):
What a Question.
Nine no cap.

Speaker 2 (23:39):
No cap, that is Gen Z .

Speaker 1 (23:43):
That is in fact Gen Z .
That is in fact Gen Z.

Speaker 2 (23:46):
And I think it means like for real.

Speaker 1 (23:51):
Are you serious?
Yeah, pretty much.
It means like you're not lying.

Speaker 2 (23:57):
Yeah, so so would cap mean you are lying?
Yes, cap, you're capping,you're capping, you're capping.

Speaker 1 (24:06):
No cap Quit slapping, all right, and then last one
fat P-H-A-T Fat.
That is millennial.
You think that?

Speaker 2 (24:17):
is millennial Gen X.
That's Gen X.

Speaker 1 (24:18):
No, we're going to take your first one.
Come on, man, it is Gen X andit means you're cool.
Yeah, pretty much so there yougo.

Speaker 2 (24:28):
Can we just acknowledge that?
Whoever came up with that likethey weren't trying to come up
with an alternative way to sayyou're cool, they were trying to
recover from calling somebodyfat.

Speaker 1 (24:40):
Right.

Speaker 2 (24:40):
Not over-emotional about it.
Yeah, 100% insulted somebody,hundred percent insulted
somebody, they insulted somebody, and then they started getting
ostracized by other people andso they're like no, no no, no,
no, you don't understand.

Speaker 1 (24:50):
no, uh, calling you cool, uh, uh, fat with a ph.
What, yeah, ph it makes the thef sound, the sound, uh, yeah,
it means cool, like some kidjust called his fat teacher fat.

Speaker 2 (25:10):
I feel like it's a, but I feel like it's like a rap
crew from the 80s that wasoverweight, Was like we're fat
but we're cool, so we're fatwith a pH, so it's fat with a pH
baby.
That sounds like a very 80srapper thing to do.

Speaker 1 (25:29):
Let's bring that phrase back.

Speaker 2 (25:31):
Fat or 80s rappers.

Speaker 1 (25:34):
Let's bring back 80s rappers, all of it.
Fat 80s rappers that's the newslang Fat 80s rappers but with
an F Fat 80s rappers.
No, they're not cool Nice.
But with an f fat 80s?

Speaker 1 (26:41):
All right, we're stalling.

Speaker 2 (26:42):
All right, you want to get into this main topic.

Speaker 1 (26:44):
Let's get into the main topic.
Are you ready?
You want to get into this maintopic?
Let's get into the main topic.
Are you ready?
Yep.

Speaker 2 (26:52):
The reason why we're being funny is because we're
talking about.
All right, imagine it's Fridaynight, the setting sun of a
summer evening.
What year?
2009.
2009.
No, no, 2006.

(27:12):
There you go.
All right, you've been ridingaround on your bike all day
playing with your friends, andeveryone's parents have agreed
to your friends coming over toyour house for a sleepover
Summer party.
You all gather around the TVwith sodas and pizza and you pop
in your favorite DVD to kickoff your Friday night

(27:35):
all-nighter.
Tonight we're talking aboutslapstick comedy.

Speaker 1 (27:42):
So, tyler, this is your transition transition into
slapstick comedy movies.

Speaker 2 (27:49):
Yeah, I could have done better on that intro, but
that's okay, I think you didperfectly, oh perfectly dumb,
all right, so this goes withoutsaying, but Hot Rod was a great
movie Is that how we're going toget into this.

Speaker 1 (28:11):
Let's get into it.
Let's just get into it.
Hot Rod, seriously Hot Rod, hotRod.
I think that that's.
I'm the only one who parties.
I think that this is kind ofwhat spurred us wanting to do
this topic is we were justtalking about Hot Rod and how we
haven't talked about Hot Rod onthis podcast.

Speaker 2 (28:34):
Yeah, we haven't given it.
Our review, our review, our twocents.

Speaker 1 (28:39):
Our two cents Bonus points in the comments, if you
can tell us what that is andyou'll level up.

Speaker 2 (28:48):
Anyways, yeah, so Hot Rod, it's a movie.
The main, or the star, if youwill, is Andy Samberg, comedian,
and Will Arnett.
And Will Arnett, oh yeah,you're right.

Speaker 1 (29:01):
Yeah, will Arnett, he's not the star, he's in it,
though.
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (29:04):
There's actually a lot of SNL characters.
But SNL character actors,characters I should, yeah, I
should say actors.

Speaker 1 (29:13):
There's a lot of snl actors but like not at the time
this movie came out not a lot ofhuge names like I don't think
that like andy sandberg, or allthe lonely island guys, or bill
hater, who's also in this movieyeah, you know what I mean.
Uh were all that big of peopleat the time.
I think them doing stuff likethe lonely island music and hot

(29:38):
rod really started to push themforward to be bigger you know
what I mean yeah, but I mean,well, it did have some big names
, like ian mcshane.

Speaker 2 (29:48):
It plays the stepfather.

Speaker 1 (29:49):
Yeah, that's true, but name something that he is in
before Hot Rod.

Speaker 2 (29:55):
He is in Now I can't think Exactly After Hot Rod.
I bet you, if I click on hisname I can look at things that
he was in before.

Speaker 1 (30:06):
Hot Rod, but he was the continental manager in john
wick.

Speaker 2 (30:11):
Yeah, he was also blackbeard and pirates of the
caribbean yeah, all after hotrod yeah, he, uh.
Oh.
No, that was after hot rod too.
I was about to say the herculeswith dwayne johnson but he, uh,
he played merlin, no, or was he?
Like.
No, he didn't like the guy.
I can't remember what his namewas, though.

Speaker 1 (30:32):
But he's like the guy who ends up being oh I'm sorry,
I'm so sorry, not Merlin.

Speaker 2 (30:39):
Why did I say Merlin.

Speaker 1 (30:40):
I don't know what am I thinking of where it was,
though.
There is a King Arthur moviewhere it's like Merlin was not
really a magician.
He just stood in the rightplaces to make it look like he
was shooting fireballs andsummoning them, but it was
really just like a siege behindhim.
Are you talking about the lastlegion?
Maybe?

Speaker 2 (30:58):
I don't know, but it was that kind of stuff where,
like no, I mean that happened inthe hercules movie like it
looked like there was mystical,magical things happening.
But they explain away, right,right.

Speaker 1 (31:12):
But yeah, that character's name was not merlin,
okay, I'm, I'm, I'm being dumbright now is all, ignore me.

Speaker 2 (31:18):
I forgive you, thank you I can't remember is snow
white and the huntsman before,after, that's after, that's
after.
You're right.
So you're right, there's notreally anything.
That's like a big thing beforeHot Rod.

Speaker 1 (31:33):
I'm not saying that he wasn't in anything before Hot
Rod.
Yeah, I feel like a lot ofthese people.
Not because of Hot Rod, butafter Hot Rod got bigger.
Yeah, I remember he was in.
He played like in a season ofAmerican Horror Story.
I think that was the only thingI saw him in after Hot Rod for

(31:53):
the longest time.

Speaker 2 (31:54):
This says that he was in the Curse of the Black Pearl
.
That can't be right.

Speaker 1 (32:01):
Maybe as a different pirate, or maybe as a background
character.
Maybe he was Blackbeard in theback of somewhere, maybe as his
pitcher.

Speaker 2 (32:16):
That's weird, though that's what I'm saying.
Like I don't see him in histhing.
It says he's in the movie, butI don't see him in the cast list
maybe.

Speaker 1 (32:21):
Maybe they put the wrong, maybe it's just like a
error.
Yeah on, are you on imdd?
I am okay.

Speaker 2 (32:29):
So Google's wrecking it Anyways, yeah, so, but Isla
Fisher, she didn't really doanything before that.
That was super big.

Speaker 1 (32:41):
What did she do after Hot Rod?
I know who you're talking about.
What was the big thing that shewas in?
That was Rod's girlfriend,right, it was really-.

Speaker 2 (32:52):
Wedding Crashers, wed crashers, wedding yep, which
was before hot rod.
Dang it, man.
I am oh for oh, two for um.
What seat now?

Speaker 1 (33:01):
I'm three, three you know well, you had a lot of
those questions right earlier,so you can count.

Speaker 2 (33:06):
Yeah, maybe that.
Maybe a minute will even out.
She was in tag.
Was she the news reporter?
Yeah, she's in the great gatsbywas she the news reporter?

Speaker 1 (33:20):
yeah, how many movies did you play as a news reporter
?
Now you see me three.
Oh, she was the.
She's the.
The she's the girl.
Now you see me, she's the.
She's one of the four horsemen.
Yep, that's a good.
Those are good movies.

Speaker 2 (33:35):
Danny McBride was, I feel like.
Did he have something beforeHot Rod?

Speaker 1 (33:39):
I don't think that he did, Probably not it's hard to
gauge because Hot Rod came outwhen we were young, yeah, and so
I feel like right around thetime Hot Rod came out was when I
was really paying attention tomore than just the movie as a
movie, yeah, and you know thepeople who are in them and
everything like that.

Speaker 2 (33:59):
Yes, I get what you're saying, good.
Okay, a lot of people that Ithink are funny and stuff that
they're in.
I mean andy sandberg, billhater.
I think danny mcbride's funny,yeah, chris parnell, will arnett
?
Uh, chester tam, which one'schester tam?

(34:20):
He plays.
He plays the asian guy tryingto get into their crew.
Yeah, but can you do this?
So what do you think?
Can I be a part of your crew?
Do you like what you see?
No, no, I don't.
Oh, man, dude, you were aterrible stuntman.

Speaker 1 (34:42):
What I said?
I said you were a terriblestuntman.
What You're a terrible stuntman.

Speaker 2 (34:51):
No, I heard you.
It was just really mean.
Oh man, yeah, but the problemis that Hot Rod, it's mostly
slapstick.
There is a little bit of crudehumor in it, yeah, but for the
most part it's pretty funny justbecause of how outlandish it is

(35:13):
.

Speaker 1 (35:13):
But a lot of these actors, the other movies that
they're in, they are crude, theyare more crude, yeah, you know,
than hot rod is like the sameway with, like, the musical
group that all the people whomade hot Rod.
You know the three main guys.
You know?
Yeah, Don't listen to LonelyIsland.
You know what I mean?

(35:34):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (35:34):
Yeah, Well, that's like the same with Danny McBride
, Like outside of Hot Rod.
I wouldn't really let my middleschool kid watch any of his
movies.
You know, they're just all somature.

Speaker 1 (35:49):
Sensei, is there a magical karate move that would
make somebody crap their pants?

Speaker 2 (35:55):
I'm not going to lie to you, Rod.
There is such a move, butyou're not prepared for it.

Speaker 1 (36:00):
Let's get back to our meditation.
Yeah, we could do that.
Well, you could show me thismove that would make somebody
crap their pants.
Well, that didn't work.
I told you, rod.

Speaker 2 (36:12):
I told you yeah, you did tell me and you lied because
I definitely didn't crap mypants I'm gonna go home now, not
because it worked.

Speaker 1 (36:26):
I don't remember how I'll quote that was pretty close
to to it, pretty close to it,pretty close.
Also, let's talk about the fun.
Probably one of the funniestscenes in cinema ever is in this
movie, in my opinion, everysingle time it happens it's the
dumbest thing, but it makes melaugh every single time, and

(36:48):
it's when Rod is falling downthe mountain.

Speaker 2 (36:50):
Yeah, after a long and painful fall down the side
of a mountain like why does thatkeep go?

Speaker 1 (36:58):
it keeps going yeah and it's just.
It doesn't stop being funny.
I've seen this movie so manytimes, yeah, and it is never not
funny.
It is quite humorous, in allhonesty, probably one of the
funniest things I've seen infilm period.
And it's just a dude fallingdown a mountain.

(37:20):
Slapstick comedy at its purestform.

Speaker 2 (37:25):
Yes, oh, I need to mention this slightly quickly,
but jorma tacone, the one of thethree lonely boys, lonely boys,
lonely island, he's in a.
He's in an indie film calledkong fury okay, we got to talk
about kong fury.

Speaker 1 (37:44):
Okay, all right, I'll wait.
Let me make sure I'm going todouble check my notes.
The reason I bring it up isbecause, oh, I'm not, I'm
thinking of something different,sorry, go ahead, talk about
Kong Fury.

Speaker 2 (37:57):
Kong Fury.
It's like a 45-minute movie,mm-hmm, it's very short.

Speaker 1 (38:03):
Okay, yeah, I know what you're talking about.

Speaker 2 (38:04):
But it is very funny, mm, it is very funny and it I
mean it doesn't have anythinglewd but it does have language,
and it is gory, kind of gory,like the comedic over-the-top
punching, ripping stuff.

Speaker 1 (38:22):
Is this the thing?

Speaker 2 (38:22):
that was just made for YouTube.
Yeah, they just posted it onYouTube.
They didn't like release it intheaters or make it to where you
could buy it or anything.
It's just on YouTube.
You can go watch it, but it issuper funny.
But he plays Hitler in thatmovie.
Jerome does, or Jorma, I guessJorma, yeah, jorma.

(38:44):
But they're coming out withKung Fury 2.

Speaker 1 (38:47):
Nice.
Does he play Hitler in that oneas well?

Speaker 2 (38:50):
Yes, he comes back.

Speaker 1 (38:52):
It's like this neon hyper futuristic, just awesome
YouTube video.

Speaker 2 (39:02):
I forgot to mention also, arnold Schwarzenegger is
in number two Dang and so isMichael.

Speaker 1 (39:11):
Fassbender, so the first one did so well.
They got huge names for thesecond one.

Speaker 2 (39:14):
Yeah, and the Hoff is in both, david.

Speaker 1 (39:20):
Hasselhoff does a song for the first one, so I've
never seen it, but I need to sitdown and watch it.
I know what you're talkingabout, though.

Speaker 2 (39:24):
There's a song, it's called Action.

Speaker 1 (39:27):
Action.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Does he say lights, camerafirst?

Speaker 2 (39:32):
No, it's like no, no, no, the name of the song is
True Survivor.

Speaker 1 (39:39):
He just says action in it.

Speaker 2 (39:40):
He's like we need some action If we're going to
get our face away from you.
Yeah, it is a very catchy song,but action.
The movie is quite funny.
Maybe you and I, maybe weshould watch.
It sounds good to me and uh,watch the first one and then,
when the second one comes out,watch that.
But uh, I don't.

(40:01):
Actually it doesn't have arelease date yet.
I don't think I've watched the.
They did like a 10 minute likespoiler of the movie, oh yeah,
but it I don't see a releasedate for it.
But in okay, so kung fury.
The idea is that, yeah, it's akind of a 80s 8-bit themed world

(40:24):
, so all the technology issupposed to be real,
futuristic-y.

Speaker 1 (40:30):
Yeah, it's all 90s and 80s technology, 90s and 80s,
aesthetic but futuristic 90s or80s.

Speaker 2 (40:38):
It's like 90s, 80s steampunk Not steampunk.
It's like 90s, 80s cyberpunk,yep.
And in this it's a cop, like adetective beat cop, who is
trying to solve crimes, but he'salso like a master of martial

(40:58):
arts.
And he's called Kung Fury, andyou know they do the classic
trope of he doesn't have apartner, he works solo, and the
police department tells him hehas to have a partner.
He works solo and the policedepartment makes him, tells him
he has to have a partner.
He's like no, I work alone.
But the villain?
He finds out that the villainis Hitler and so he's got to go

(41:19):
back in time to kill Hitler tostop him from doing what
happened, which is like a robotsreleased and attacking their
present or whatever.
But isn't there?

Speaker 1 (41:30):
like a T-Rex, their present or whatever, but uh,
isn't there like a T-Rex inthere at some point?
Yeah, so we're getting there.
So don't ruin it, let's justwatch it.
Okay, all right.

Speaker 2 (41:37):
But the funny part is to go back in time.
He can't.
There's no time travel.
Oh okay, he cannot travel backin time.
But one of the characters is ahacker and he said I can hack
you back into time.
So they throw a keyboard on theground and he jumps on it and

(41:57):
rides it like a skateboardthrough a computer, ones and
zeros that is called binary foryou non-dorks yeah.
Yeah, they write it through it.
Yeah, yeah, computer binary andhe hacks back in time.
It is funny.

Speaker 1 (42:16):
So little disclaimer.
It's like it's meant to beover-the-top action.
It's meant to like kind of giveit's like a love letter to the
80s, 70s, 80s, over-the-topaction films.
Yes, but it's not slapstick, oh, it's just more going at the
ridiculousness of what thosemovies used to be.

Speaker 2 (42:39):
Yeah, okay.

Speaker 1 (42:41):
Wow, so I'm sorry for crushing your hopes and dreams.

Speaker 2 (42:45):
Fine, I thought it was slapstick.

Speaker 1 (42:50):
Is that why it's on your list?
No, or?

Speaker 2 (42:52):
do you just want to talk about it?
I mean, it just is actioncomedy.
There you go, Action comedy.
What does Hot Rods say?
What is Hot Rods' genresSlapstick?
Is that really what it is?
Yes, there you go.
Comedy drama according to this.

Speaker 1 (43:11):
There is, I mean, I guess, drama in the sense that
it's over-dramatized for comedyeffect.

Speaker 2 (43:19):
Babe, babe, babe, babe, wait, babe, babe, wait
Babe.
Babe.

Speaker 1 (43:27):
And we never see him again in that movie.

Speaker 2 (43:28):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (43:31):
I kind of wish he would like for the the sake of
the comedy moment got hit by acar or something yeah, that
would have been funny oh man,some say he's still saying hey,
babe, wait to this very day yeah, he's still in his.

Speaker 2 (43:44):
He's just still there , or whatever it was.
It was a corvette, right?

Speaker 1 (43:47):
no, I think he was in the middle of the street
because you remember they're atthe restaurant or they're kind
of eating at some sort ofoutside diner.

Speaker 2 (43:56):
No, he's in his car.

Speaker 1 (43:59):
No, she gets in a car and drives off, right.

Speaker 2 (44:01):
She gets out of his car she does get and then gets
into another car and leaves andhe's just sitting there in his
car going yeah, it's funny, butanother great quotable moment of
that uh movie this is totallymy hat.
They wreck a guy's rv trailerand he comes out he's like my

(44:24):
trailer and then, uh, mcbride'scharacter randomly walks up and
starts beating the guy right,what did?

Speaker 1 (44:31):
what did he say?
He's like he says you're gonnabring the devil out of me today
yeah, he's like I go to churchevery sun.

Speaker 2 (44:37):
There's some curse words in it, but he says I go to
church every sunday, you'regonna bring the demons out of me
oh man so I've been drinkinggreen tea all day so I know we
keep sitting here quoting themovie.

Speaker 1 (44:50):
So real quick, a quick synopsis of this film.
The entire point of it is Rod,the main character, wants to
become a stuntman.
That's his life's dream.
So he does really cruddyneighborhood stunts.
Yes, Just trying to feel hishobby.
And he finds out.

(45:11):
But one of the things he wantsto try to do all the time is
beat his stepfather in a fight.
Yes, to become a man To become aman.

And so Rod finds out that hisstepdad has.
It was just a bad heart, whatwas it?
His heart was failing.
His heart was failing, yeah, asit was just a bad heart.
What was it?
It was a heart was failing.

(45:32):
His heart was failing, yeah.
So the entire movie is himtrying to raise money to get
heart surgery for his stepfatherso that he can then beat the
crap out of him and become a manyeah, so you can finally beat
him in a fight and become a man.

Hilarious show.
It says he's in Grown Ups 2.

Speaker 1 (47:36):
I don't remember him in Grown Ups, I think he was
like.
I never saw it, but I thinkhe's like some sort of jock or
something like that.
Oh, okay, it's because AdamSandler and Andy Samberg both
like started being in all themovies together after they were
in like what is it?
Was it Hotel Transylvania orwas it that's my Boy?
Both, I mean, I mean they werein those together.

Speaker 2 (47:55):
I just don't remember which one came first oh, they
both came out the same year sodid they yeah.
So all right, there you gothere you go, everyone.

Speaker 1 (48:07):
so we've talked about it a little bit too much, so
let's move off of Hot Rod,unless you have anything else to
say.

Speaker 2 (48:13):
Nope, I got nothing else to say about Hot Rod.

Speaker 1 (48:17):
All right, let's talk about Step Brothers.
All right, let's do it.
Step Brothers is, I feel, likeone of those movies that just
really influenced my life in away that, like, makes me quote
things.
You know, I mean the same wayhot rod.
It doesn't make me who I am,but you quote it a lot it's the
catalina wine mixer it's thatdarn catalina wine mixer.

(48:42):
So everybody like, stepbrothersis a hilarious movie, but you
got to be at least 25 to watchthis movie.
I mean, you gotta be an adult,yeah, so at least I know you
need to be old enough to be ableto rent a car.
Okay, then you can watch stepbrothers, all right, I guess.
So my favorite, um favorite,quote that's not that that I can

(49:05):
actually repeat on this on thispodcast is I wouldn't call him
dad, even if there's a firetoday I watched my son use a
bicycle as a weapon, oh man.
There's so much more room foractivities.

Speaker 2 (49:27):
Can we make?
We put our bags together andmake a bunk bed.

Speaker 1 (49:33):
You're both 40 years old, I don't care what you do,
so is that a yes and no?
It's, uh.
It's will ferrell and john co'reilly.
Yeah, which is like they did somany movies together after
stepbr Brothers, because they'resuch a good comedy duo.

Speaker 2 (49:50):
Is that true?
Like they didn't start doingmovies together until Step.

Speaker 1 (49:55):
Brothers I think it was Step Brothers and then they
did Talladega Nights, Then theydid no, Talladega Nights is
before Step Brothers oh, maybeStep Brothers.
Either way, they were in a lotof movies together because they
work great together.

Speaker 2 (50:07):
Okay.

Speaker 1 (50:09):
I mean, don't lie stepbrothers is a masterpiece
stepbrothers is funny.

Speaker 2 (50:16):
So I'm looking at, I'm looking at john c rayleigh
and they're in talladega knightstogether.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Episode 37.

We should have To be fair thatwas three episodes ago.

Speaker 1 (54:09):
It really was.
We should have To be fair.
That was about a month ago.
Recording.

Speaker 2 (54:14):
Yeah, that's true, that is very true.

Speaker 1 (54:21):
Napoleon Dynamite.

Speaker 2 (54:22):
Napoleon Dynamite.

Speaker 1 (54:26):
Dude.
This is probably the one moviethat probably influenced so many
people as a nation, so manyyoung 12 to 16 year olds, when
Napoleon Dynamite came out.

Speaker 2 (54:39):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (54:39):
Was incredibly influenced by this nothing movie
.

Speaker 2 (54:42):
Oh yeah, and I remember going and watching it
in the theaters and knowingnothing about it.
Like I heard Napoleon Dynamite,my friends were telling me
about it.
Like I heard napoleon dynamite,my friends were telling me
about it before we would go seeit.
They just said, like themovie's called napoleon dynamite
, I thought we were gonna gowatch a history flick about
napoleon for some reason, butthen we went and watched it.
I was like this has nothing todo with history and this is the

(55:05):
greatest film I've ever seen.

Speaker 1 (55:06):
This is hilarious.
Yeah, me and ashley watched itrecently, uh-huh, and she was
like so many moments in thatmovie of like, wait, is this, is
this what this is from?
She didn't know, like when she,um, when your mom goes to
college, oh yeah, she's like isthat what this is from?
Absolutely, and the other oneis vote for pedro 100 from that

(55:31):
movie.
Vote for pedro dude like forsome reason, like I never caught
on watching it until recentlythat uncle, uh, uncle rico, he
buys the time machine, right,the quote-unquote time machine,
yeah.
And then they try it, itdoesn't work.
And then he comes around thecorner and he's like I could
have told you it didn't work, Ididn't realize he used it, tried

(55:53):
it himself to use it and he gothurt, which is so stupid of me,
never, never, to catch that onbecause he's holding the ice
pack to himself.

Speaker 2 (56:02):
That's funny that's real funny, man.
Yeah, is there anything elseyou want to talk about with
napoleon dynamite?
Do you want to talk about withNapoleon Dynamite?
Do you want to give everybodyjust a brief summary of what
Napoleon Dynamite's about?
I?

Speaker 1 (56:14):
don't know if I can, because it's really like a it's
the best way to explain it.
It's just a bunch of visualgags trying to, or just funny
moments trying to stitchtogether to a nothing story.
It's just like the life ofthese people.
You know, Napoleon Dynamite'sjust a high schooler and his

(56:36):
grandma gets hurt and so hisuncle has to move in with him
and it's just like him trying tobe a high schooler while his
awkward uncle is trying to be acon artist and then his best
friend is running for you know,school president, like, yeah,
the movie is hilarious though,because the way you describe it

(56:57):
it's a nothing film and just abunch of really awkward funny
things happen throughout it yeah, there is really no one
specific story straight straightstoryline, like for no reason,
at the beginning of the film.
It's just like Napoleon what areyou going to do today?
Whatever the heck I want.

(57:18):
And then he pulls out an actionfigure that's tied to a piece
of string and throws it off theschool bus and drags this action
figure from behind the schoolbus as it's going down the
street for no reason.
Like what is this movie, youknow?

Speaker 2 (57:34):
yeah he uh.

Speaker 1 (57:37):
So the director for napoleon dynamite is uh jared
hess, who directed the minecraftmovie and nacho libre yep, he.

Speaker 2 (57:46):
He also directed, yeah, minecraft and nacho.
He also directed Thelma theUnicorn I don't know if you've

Speaker 2 (58:00):
Yeah, maybe Masterminds.
He also directed Masterminds, Idon't know, masterminds it.
It's pretty funny.
It has zach galifianakis in it,gotcha and I and, I think, owen
wilson I keep on trying tothrow his name into stuff just
to try and be right real quick.

Speaker 1 (58:20):
Speaking of zach galifianakis, guess what me and
ashley watched last night?
What did you and ashley watchlast night?
We watched the Muppet movie.

telling him no, I'm not going tohelp him.
Yeah, he's like, but Kermit,you're my hero, You're on my

(59:08):
So my wallpaper on my watch forthose who's not here in person

And in my heart.

Speaker 2 (59:21):

right, all right.

Speaker 2 (01:00:01):
Matthew mcconaughey matthew, all right, all right,
all right do you have any umslapstick comedy movies?

Speaker 1 (01:00:09):

Speaker 2 (01:00:11):
have.
So there's nacho libre.
Come on, Don't be crazy.
Yeah, come on.
I mean, come on, Don't be crazy.
And then there's the.
So obviously we need to talkabout Nacho Libre, but then
there's also all of the.

Speaker 1 (01:00:25):
I feel like we don't need to.
If you want us to hear us talkabout Nacho Libre, we have an
entire episode about Nacho Libre.

Speaker 2 (01:00:35):
That's true, yeah, so not Shirley Brant.

Speaker 1 (01:00:36):
But it's hilarious.
It's very Napoleon Dynamitehumor.

Speaker 2 (01:00:40):
Yes.

Speaker 1 (01:00:41):
It's great.

Speaker 2 (01:00:42):
Quite humorous and then Scary Movies, 1 through 4.

Speaker 1 (01:00:47):
Yeah.
I have that on my list Veryslapstick, very slapstick, very
slapstick.
But if you want to talk aboutthe good Scary Movies, we're
talking about Scary Movie 1through 3.
Okay, I don't really like ScaryMovie 4 all that much much.
Is that the one where they makefun of the grudge?

Speaker 2 (01:01:04):
that's, uh, I think, the grudge and the ring no,
because the ring is the thirdone.
Yeah, they make fun of signsand war of the worlds and the
ring and the ring on the thirdone.

Speaker 1 (01:01:15):
Yeah, because they have.

Speaker 2 (01:01:16):
Yeah you're, you're right.
So Signs is number three inGrudge In the Ring.
Sorry, signs in the Ring.
Number four is War of theWorlds, like the Tom Cruise War
of the Worlds.
Yeah, and the Grudge and isn'tnumber four when they do the

(01:01:39):
Village.

Speaker 1 (01:01:40):
Yes, yeah, and isn't number four when they do the
village.
Yes, yeah, it's so funny, it'sso offensive nowadays.
Yeah yeah, but the scene whereshe meets the little grudge boy
and she starts speaking Japaneseto him.
But she's just calling outJapanese brands.

Speaker 2 (01:01:54):
Yeah, tamahaki, toyotaishimi, dude yeah, you
definitely have to be.
Um, not a kid movie, it's not akid.
None of those are kid movies.
They do make a lot of adultjokes, but I they are funny the
first two is, to me, thefunniest two yeah, because the

(01:02:16):
first one is I know what you didlast summer and what was it?
What was screaming?
I know what you did last summerand what was it?

Speaker 1 (01:02:19):
what was screaming?
I know what you did last summerscreaming.

Speaker 2 (01:02:21):
I know what you did last summer and then number two
it was is mostly in a mansion.

Speaker 1 (01:02:26):
I can't remember what movie, I think that that was
the one where they did a lot ofparody, and I don't think they
did anything too specific inthat one, if I remember right
yeah, they made uh, they madefun of uh I think they made fun
of jason in it.
Yeah, but as a single joke.

(01:02:46):
But a lot of times theystructured their movie around a
specific plot.
Yeah, that's true, that's theone that is, at least whenever I
tried to watch it.
Yeah, take my hand, take mystrong.
No, take my strong hand, myother one's not strong enough.

Speaker 2 (01:03:01):
Yeah, he's like no, give me your other hand, I can't
, it's too weak.

Speaker 1 (01:03:08):
Oh my gosh.

Speaker 2 (01:03:10):
Dude so funny, so that because okay, so that
they're invited to a mansion,mm-hmm, and there's a murder, so
it has to be Clue, becausethat's from Clue there wasn't a
murder, it's okay.

Speaker 1 (01:03:25):
The problem with Scary Movie 2 is the one I've
seen the least, because youcan't really find it too many
places to stream it.
Well, I know what we're doingafter this.
Yeah, seriously, I'd watch it.
The movie's hilarious.

Speaker 2 (01:03:38):
Heck yeah, yeah, seriously I'll.
I'd watch it.
The movie's hilarious.
Heck yeah, uh, yeah, but thereis.

Speaker 1 (01:03:41):
I mean I'll have to look it up, but there's
something that has to do wherethey're all brought into a
building yeah, and it's the samecast of characters, because
they were going to keep doing itwith the same cast of full cast
of characters from the uh, thefirst one and the second one,
and then it just it was annaferris and brenda who came back

(01:04:02):
for the third one, and thenanything going forward and and
sean and marlon waynes.

Speaker 2 (01:04:08):
Yeah, true, they were both in one and two right, but
nothing after that.

Speaker 1 (01:04:14):
Yeah, I don't think that.
Yeah, they didn't.
They didn't get.
My understanding is becauseanother the production company
took, got rid of them as thedirectors, like there was a
whole.
Yeah, they pretty much hadwrote the third movie and then
they fired them and took alltheir jokes.
Is my understanding?
Yeah, there is a scene I gottashow it to you, but in the first

(01:04:35):
one, when they're in thecafeteria, if you look in the
background, yeah and you see allthe cafeteria workers.
They're all monsters.
Oh, really, yeah, because itwas meant like there was a
deleted scene where they weregoing through getting their food
in the cafeteria and it wasjust a visual joke of all of
them being.
These cafeteria workers werenasty creatures uh-huh and they

(01:04:58):
cut it out of the movie, butthey are still filming that
scene later on, so in thebackground.
You've never noticed it before,but all of the cafeteria
workers are monsters and grosscreatures wow.

Speaker 2 (01:05:12):
So this says four teens are tricked by a professor
into visiting a haunted housefor a school project.
Just four, just four.

Speaker 1 (01:05:22):
I think there's more.

Speaker 2 (01:05:23):
There's more than that, for sure.
That's what this says.

Speaker 1 (01:05:27):
Because it's all like six of them, because there were
six characters in the first one.

Speaker 2 (01:05:32):
I don't know if they're all students, though.

Speaker 1 (01:05:35):
Oh, I gotcha.
You know what I mean, becausethere's Brenda.
What's um brenda?
What's anna ferris'scharacter's name?
It's like a y at the end cindy,cindy campbell once I got cindy
.
Yeah, you're right.
It was crazy.
I couldn't think of the firstname and when I got her first
name I remembered her last namefrom those movies.
Yeah, so it was brenda c DookieBobby Ray.

Speaker 2 (01:05:59):
And Shorty.

Speaker 1 (01:06:00):
And.

Speaker 2 (01:06:00):
Shorty.

Speaker 1 (01:06:03):
Yeah, not Dookie.
It was Shorty, there's not aDookie.

Speaker 2 (01:06:07):
There ain't no Dookie .
Well, Buddy, Buddy.
Yeah, it's Shorty Ray, Cindy,Brenda, Buddy, and I don't know
if there's another.
Did you say Bobby, oh?

Speaker 1 (01:06:21):
and Megan, megan.
Oh yeah, the redhead yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:06:25):
And then it also has David Cross, david.

Speaker 1 (01:06:28):
Cross, yeah, his character Dwight, and.

Speaker 2 (01:06:30):
Tim Curry yeah, tim Curry.
David Cross, chris Elliott Allfunny, andy Richard, I forgot
that he was in it.
What was andy richard?

Speaker 1 (01:06:40):
he was, uh, the priest trying to do the exorcism
yeah, man, geez, these aregreat franchise, so let's uh,
I'm gonna run through some ofthese just as examples.
All right, so we have you knowscary movie like we just talked
about Dumb and Dumber, dumb andDumber yeah, you want to hear

(01:07:01):
the most annoying sound in theworld?
Yeah, let's do it Me and Ashleywatched that movie.
She said it's one of her mosthated movies she's ever seen.
She hated that movie the wholeway through and I love it so
much.
Are you kidding me?
No, she hates Dumb and Dumberwith a passion.
That's funny.
Ace Ventura, pet detective, petdetective, the Naked Gun, okay,

(01:07:26):
airplane, the Mask, you knowwhat I mean?
Come on, yeah.
And then like Home Alone, homeAlone, austin Powers, yep.
And then like a home alone,home alone, austin Powers, yep.
And then the honorable mention.
And the only reason why I domention this one is because I
want to watch this movie, butI'm having trouble finding it.
Okay, but it's called Kung Pao.

(01:07:48):
Enter the Fist.
Kung Pao Enter the Fist so it isa movie that this guy took an
old kung fu movie, okay andsuperimposed himself,
green-screened himself into themovie and dubbed over it with
comical stuff.
Oh, I've seen it, it's reallyfunny.
The clips I've seen from it arereally funny, but I've never

(01:08:11):
been able to see the actualmovie.
So that is like a nice littlehonorable mention to the list.

Speaker 2 (01:08:16):
It's funny because of him in the movie going, yeah,
so unnecessarily, unnecessarily.
Yeah, dude, it's so funny.

Speaker 1 (01:08:29):
So, to close this out , I want you to, I want to talk
about the top grossing slapstickcomedy movies of all time.
Okay, the top grossingslapstick comedy movies of all
time.
Okay.
So I want you to guess the topthree, and if you can guess any
of the top three, you win theepisode.

Speaker 2 (01:08:49):
I'm going to say Dumb and Dumber.
I'm going to say Scary Movie 2.
And I want Hot Rod to be onthere.
Those are my three guesses.

Speaker 1 (01:09:07):
Are they?

Speaker 2 (01:09:08):
all wrong.
They're all wrong, that's funny.

Speaker 1 (01:09:10):
We're going to talk about these and you're going to
be so mad.
Okay, because none of thesewould have been what I thought
were slapstick or on this list,which they are, but they aren't.
So I'm going to start.
I'm going to count them down,the full top 10, starting at 10,
going to number one.
Number 10 is Jackass 3D, okay,which that is very slapstick,

(01:09:34):
but it's not scripted.
Yeah, it's all pranks.
Number nine I guess they wantto put this in here as a whole,
but the scary movie franchise asa whole.
What you can't do that.

Speaker 2 (01:09:45):
Yeah, that doesn't make sense.

Speaker 1 (01:09:46):
Yeah, okay, but on this list that I found online,
they did that.
Okay, crocodile Dundee.
Okay, beverly Hills Cop.
Okay, beverly Hills Cop.
That's number seven.
Number six is Home Alone.
Number five is Mrs Doubtfirewhat Mm-hmm?
Okay, all right.
Number four is the Hangover.

Speaker 2 (01:10:08):
Okay, now number three, counting down With $549
million, ted, I don't even thinkthat that's Slapstick.

Speaker 1 (01:10:24):
Me neither.
And then number two with $586million the Hangover, part 2.
Okay, and then number one.
This list isn't correct.
These numbers aren't correct atall.
This is completely wrong.
Good, because it says that thenumber one is 523 million where

(01:10:48):
number two is 586 million.
What so, guys?
This is a lesson Don't believeeverything you hear online.

Speaker 2 (01:10:56):
Yeah, except for us, except us, believe us.
We're the only reliable source.

Speaker 1 (01:11:02):
But on this list, let's pretend that these numbers
aren't correct.
Okay, Number one meet theFockers.

Speaker 2 (01:11:08):
Yeah, there's no way that that's one slapstick into
the number one most selling, or?

Speaker 1 (01:11:16):
highest grossing.
Let me let me do a very quickcorrection on self-correction.
Yes, I respect that topgrossing slapstick comedy films.
This isn't grossing.
This is from popularity andscore popular.

(01:11:38):
Jairus wants to be popular butit is a Charlie Chaplin movie
called City Lights is number onein 1931 for popular Metacritic
score okay, and then number twois Home Alone.
Okay, and number the PinkPanther Ba-dum ba-dum bum With

(01:12:03):
Steve Martin.

Speaker 2 (01:12:04):
See, I would say that's slapstick.
Yeah for sure.
Yeah, do you know what Lilo andStitch did?

Speaker 1 (01:12:10):
Just real quick, I just had to close out Just to
talk about our Just to teasepeople, it ended up being like
$500 million or something likethat.

Speaker 2 (01:12:19):
No, not that high.

Speaker 1 (01:12:20):
No, it's not even that For domestic.
Oh, $100 million something $335million.

Speaker 2 (01:12:28):
