SPEAKER_01 (00:00):
Hello and welcome to a special episode of the We
Recommend Podcast, which isusually a movie podcast where we
recommend a movie for you towatch and then come back here
and listen to us discuss.
But this year we're doing thisThanksgiving, we're doing
something different, baby.
We are gonna be building ourmovie characters Thanksgiving
table.
I'll explain to you what thatmeans later.
(00:28):
Um Yes, so we wanted to dosomething special for
Thanksgiving because you know wenever do it, and it's kind of
the lost holiday because it's noone cares.
They're just like we eat turkeyand we watch football and then
go shopping for ThanksChristmas.
So we decided I honestly Ilistened to a podcast Jason and
I always make sure to drink wildturkey on gobble gobble, baby.
(00:49):
Um I listened to this podcast,they said like it's an NFL
podcast, and it's like buildingthe perfect NFL uh Thanksgiving
table.
And it's what they did was isthey put uh personalities from
NFL players, announcers, andthings like that, and they said
they all got to pick like threeor four uh three each, and
there's like five of them doingit, and they're just like, Oh, I
(01:09):
think it'd be funny to have thisperson at the uh Thanksgiving
table.
So that's kind of what we'regonna do for this.
No, no.
SPEAKER_02 (01:16):
So which would also be fun.
SPEAKER_01 (01:18):
Yeah.
I'm gonna set up uh set thescene, right?
So it's me and Jason.
We invited five of our ourfriends, which are movie crazy.
I'm doing it.
Oh okay, and we talked to eachother and we decided we're
allowed to bring five people tothis dinner table.
Uh Thanksgiving dinner table.
Yes.
(01:38):
Uh only we're allowed to bringone creature to the Thanksgiving
table.
And the rest just have to be uhhuman beings in movies.
Um and I'm gonna set the scene alittle bit.
Me and Jason, we moved toPhiladelphia, right?
Oh, we're gonna Philadelphia?
Yeah, we're in Philadelphia.
(01:58):
Oh, never mind.
Uh we set up the dinner table,right?
And uh it's the former home ofdoubt uh Dr.
Malcolm Crow.
Um Sixth Sense.
Because we have a we have asecret special guest.
Oh, nice.
Bruce Willis from The SixthSense is here.
(02:19):
Nobody can see him, but just soyou know, whenever people start
to get a little cold, it'sbecause there's a ghost here,
baby.
Hey, love.
No, I just thought it'd be funnyif I was like I was whenever I
was thinking of the idea, I waslike, ha, Dr.
Malcolm Crow's here, baby.
But yeah, so essentially we'rejust building out, uh, we're
just gonna go back and forthpicking someone we want at our
(02:41):
dinner dinner table, all right?
Hell yeah.
So we go one and one, or shouldwe just give the whole list?
Yeah, I'm actually I'm gonnastart because I have the perfect
perfect starter.
Especially goes with the samethe episode uh that's coming out
next week.
Uh right next week.
Yeah, next Monday.
Um, so who walks in other thanmotherfucking Dom Toretto, baby?
(03:08):
He drove a quarter mile down theroad to get here.
He is your neighbor.
Yeah, so I just think, you know,if we're gonna have a if we're
gonna have a Thanksgivingdinner, we gotta have someone
that's gonna just, you know,tell everybody, hey, be quiet,
it's time to eat.
SPEAKER_02 (03:21):
He also brings a case of Corona.
SPEAKER_01 (03:23):
He's gonna bring the beer, right?
For everybody to drink.
Um he sits at the edge of thetable, of course, because he's
in charge.
Even though it's our house.
SPEAKER_02 (03:30):
You mean the the end?
SPEAKER_01 (03:31):
Like the uh table.
He dictates who says prayer andwho gives a speech.
He also gives a speech aboutbeing thankful for his family.
So I think it's like the perfectif you're gonna talk about
family and friends, you gottahave Dom Toretto there.
His head shine real nice too.
SPEAKER_02 (03:47):
Not where it's got like a lipstick stain on it.
SPEAKER_01 (03:50):
Yeah, and this is, you know, we're gonna say is
around like now time from uh themovies that he's in now.
So, you know, um the sleeveswhich are in the first movie,
they come off now.
Oh so he's showing up with nosleeves.
Nice.
So you know we're getting primedon Coretto.
But yeah, you know, he justcomes in, he's talking about
family, talking about who heloves, you know.
(04:10):
All right, Jason, who are youinviting?
SPEAKER_02 (04:12):
Oh man.
So I think my first guest, andit'll make sense later, but
Bigfoot.
SPEAKER_01 (04:18):
Oh, hell yeah.
From what movie?
SPEAKER_02 (04:20):
Because it's movie characters.
Harriet and Henderson.
SPEAKER_03 (04:23):
Hell yeah.
SPEAKER_00 (04:25):
Bigfoot.
SPEAKER_01 (04:29):
Yeah, all right.
What's your story with him?
Uh well, that's what I'm saying.
Why do you think he would begreat at the dinner?
SPEAKER_02 (04:33):
I think because he I think he's got a lot of
explaining to do.
SPEAKER_01 (04:36):
You know, I think it makes sense because uh he's
gonna come in.
We're gonna be like, well, I'mgonna be like, me and Dom are
like, well, you brought Bigfoot,and then Dom's like, you brought
somebody with more hair than me.
SPEAKER_02 (04:46):
He may have remained ridden with Dom with his head
out the window, yeah.
I think it's great.
SPEAKER_01 (04:51):
And I think Dom and Bigfoot would be great friends
because like everyone He'swearing two tank tops.
Every Well, that's the only wayyou can be Dom's friend.
I think it's gonna be greatbecause you know, like every
time that like Bigfoot makes ajoke, he like he puts like a
little bit of hair on Dom, andDom's like, eh, buddy.
That's hilarious.
Yeah.
Everybody's like, hell yeah.
SPEAKER_02 (05:11):
But no, I think I think Bigfoot was there at the
first Thanksgiving, but hedidn't make it into any of the
portraits.
That's just kind of his thing.
SPEAKER_01 (05:19):
What you didn't know is that like in all like the
violence that happened, it'sactually Bigfoot the whole time.
No way, no fucking way.
It's like like the the pilgrimsgot there and they're like, Who
killed all these Indians?
Who killed these Indians?
SPEAKER_02 (05:33):
It was Bigfoot.
He's but Bigfoot's over therelike, no, dude, it wasn't me.
Let me steal all their corn andshit.
He was just the blur in thebackground of that famous
painting.
SPEAKER_01 (05:42):
Yeah.
All right, so so far, Dom andBigfoot showed up.
So is Bigfoot sitting at theother end of the table?
SPEAKER_02 (05:51):
Um no, I'd I'd say he's sitting somewhere in the
middle.
Okay, cool.
Probably right where the turkeyis in the center.
SPEAKER_01 (05:57):
And you know who's sitting directly next to
Bigfoot?
Marge Gunderson from Fargo.
She's like coming in there withher Midwestern accent.
What a sweetheart.
She's there.
She's everybody's favoriteperson there, too.
Everybody loves her.
She's so nice and sweet.
And when someone says dumb,she's always like, okay, that's
(06:19):
dumb.
They all help her get food andclear her plate and everything.
They're always helping her.
She doesn't have to lift afinger around the house.
And this is direct rules fromDom Toretto.
She's a delight for everyone.
When they're all, they all sayor do anything stupid, she
corrects them and they listenbecause she's fucking March
Blenderson, baby.
(06:40):
She's dating.
SPEAKER_02 (06:41):

office.
SPEAKER_01 (06:43):

And it's funny you have a lot ofcriminals here in my group,
except and they all love her.
But yeah, I just think uh such awonderful, delightful lady.
And you know she's just gonna begreat, and you know she's gonna
have some sort of deliciousMidwest casserole.
Of course.
SPEAKER_02 (07:03):
Let's see, I have a problem with my next guest.

So Wonder Woman showed up.
I wanted her to bring her uhrope of truth or whatever.
Truth lasso.
SPEAKER_01 (07:16):
This is not gonna work out.
Wonder collapse.
SPEAKER_02 (07:18):
I want her to lasso Bigfoot, just so you he'll have
to tell us what's what thefuck's up.
SPEAKER_01 (07:22):

god creation?
SPEAKER_02 (07:28):

Marja's like, oh, so where'd youget that?
That's a fancy outfit.
Where's that?
It's like theoremasia orwhatever it is.
Like, ooh, I've never beenthere.
You can't go there.
That's far from bargaining.
(08:05):
It's a little ways fromMinnesota, don't you think?
I think she would have liked itthere.
And then at this point, wheneverybody's showing up, they're
like, ooh, it's getting a littlecold in here.
You're seeing their breath,you're like, ooh, something has
passed through me.
SPEAKER_02 (08:20):

All right.
So for my next one who comesthrough the door next, Jules

Uh they have a very opposites oftrack relationship.
He's a potty mouth, and shetries to get him to cuss less,
and he loves her tastycasserole.
That's so heartwarming.
Yeah, so they're like bestfriends.
I think it'd be great.
You know, like every time hestarts raising his voice, and
they're also both Christianbecause you know Jules quotes
the Bible in the movie, and uhshe's Midwesterner, so she has
(09:35):
to be.
SPEAKER_02 (09:36):

SPEAKER_02 (10:04):
Speaking of gang, he thought he deserved the fur a
plus one, so he brought Dennis.
Dennis decided he needed a plusone, he brought Charlie.
SPEAKER_01 (10:12):
So Dom kicks them out, they're all outside like
freezing.
This is fucking bullshit.
SPEAKER_02 (10:18):
They're all arguing.
Yeah, they're all in.
SPEAKER_01 (10:23):
That's great.
I want to make I want to see himmake the sandwich in his mouth.
Frank, but we're like, this isFrank like after he lets himself
go, right?
So he's drinking wine out of hiscan.
Just drink beers and pours winein him.
He starts gurgling like he doesin this show.
Yeah, this is great.
This is great because this is uhthis will pair along nice with
(10:44):
my shitty person that shows up.
Oh, that's fantastic.
He's like constantly just sayingoff the wall shit.
Yeah, it's it's incredible.
SPEAKER_02 (10:55):
But he and Wonder Woman are pretty tight.
SPEAKER_01 (10:57):
Pretty tight.
Oh, that's great.
So for uh my shit hit that comesin.
I picked Royal Tinnenbaum.
Yes.
He causes the most ruckus out ofeverybody in my group and
eventually gets kicked out atthe end of the night uh by my
next character.
He hits a little bit, he triesto, you know, like hit on Marge
a little bit.
Marge is like, Dom.
(11:19):
Jeez, this guy keeps hitting onme, don't you know?
Um but like he at firsteverybody loves him.
They got he's you know, Royal'sgot great stories.
Everybody knows that he'sconstantly lying, but they like
his stories, but he startsgetting a little sexist, and
because he's a little racist,Jules doesn't like that, and
neither will my next guest.
SPEAKER_02 (11:36):
But Frank loves it.
He thinks it's hilarious.
SPEAKER_01 (11:40):
Like, oh, you should have seen all these whores out
with me.
Royal's like, uh, I would liketo know more about these whores.
Frank and Royal, they definitelyget kicked out at the same time,
and then they go off and have afucking wild night.
Oh, I would love the afterThanksgiving, a wild night out
(12:01):
with Royal Tinnenbaum, Frank,and the rest of the gang.
But after like Frank and thegang and Royal like have a crazy
night.
I can see the title of that It'sAlways Funny episode.
Uh, the the gang meets RoyalTinnenbaum.
Okay, who's your head cricket?
SPEAKER_02 (12:21):
Oh so the next one, which is kind of a bit
controversial as to whether heis not a creature or not.
Well, I thought Splinter fromthe Ninja Turtles would be
great.
SPEAKER_01 (12:35):
You bent the rules, but that's okay.
SPEAKER_02 (12:37):
He was human until he got oozed.
SPEAKER_01 (12:39):
That's true.
Wait, he was never human?
Yeah.
There were little rats andturtles and they got the ooze.
SPEAKER_02 (12:46):
No, he was okay.
Two different storylines here.
Okay.
I only know the movie one.
The OG storyline is that he wasbit by a radioactive rat, I get
it.
No, no, no, no.
SPEAKER_01 (12:57):
He was That's how everybody becomes something.
SPEAKER_02 (12:59):
No, no.
He just like he came to NewYork, he was a ninjutsu
instructor or whatever, superwise, and like great.
He goes, he has to live in thesewer for some reason because
he's poor.
He lives with the rats, the oozespills on him and the rats.
SPEAKER_01 (13:16):
Oh becomes a rat.
It's a thing situation.
Like from the thing, they startmerging together.
It's a very fly situation.
SPEAKER_02 (13:23):
Yeah.
But I figure he would be great.
You made a funny.
And he's got a lot of greatwisdom, right?
Yeah.
SPEAKER_01 (13:33):
So that makes sense to like when Frank and Royal are
being like so uh, you know, justbad people, he he like, oh, sit
down with me.
I have something very I almoststarted doing an accent.
Don't do that.
Don't do that.
Um sit down with me and I'llteach you my ways.
SPEAKER_02 (13:50):
And rats are pretty clean, you know, they wash their
hands all the time.
Yeah.
With their mouths.
SPEAKER_01 (13:54):
That works.
Yeah.
SPEAKER_02 (13:55):
Unless, you know, they're New York rats and
they're dirty as well.
Which he kind of is.
SPEAKER_01 (14:00):
It's just like Marge's Marge is like, Jules,
uh, there seems to be kind of alot of uh hairy creatures here,
don't you know?
SPEAKER_02 (14:10):
Man over there.
SPEAKER_01 (14:11):
Jules is like, there's a lot of motherfucking
hairy creatures in thismotherfucking house.
SPEAKER_02 (14:16):
I feel like he and Bigfoot have a lot to talk
about.
Yeah.
Like hair care and shampoo.
SPEAKER_01 (14:22):
He's like, it just goes up to Bigfoot.
He's like, how do you get yourhair so straight?
Mine's always so mad at.
All right.
For my last character, I choseone of the most charismatic
people on the planet, ApolloCreed, baby, from the Rocky
movie.
Everybody here loves a porn.
SPEAKER_02 (14:40):
He's gonna have his boxing gloves on, holding the
forks.
SPEAKER_01 (14:42):
Of course.
unknown (14:43):
The fork and the knife.
SPEAKER_01 (14:45):
I mean, Splinter's gonna help him eat.
He feeds him.
Yeah, he's got his chopsticks.
Tons of great boxing stories.
Great for the Thanksgivingtable.
Him and Dom bond over Cards.
Mary and Splinter could spar.
They could spar.
Feats of strength.
And this is where Apollo learnshow to finally defeat Rocky.
Damn.
For the third time.
(15:07):
Mars and Apollo talk aboutfamily life.
Jules and Apollo talk abouttravels and the things they've
learned from traveling.
Apollo punches Royal for being aracist and a womanizer and kicks
him out.
Yay.
SPEAKER_02 (15:23):
Alright, who's your last one?
We could have some good fights.
Oh, things would be great.
My last one, I was I think theythey get felt bad for the gang.
Uh well, for most of the gang,and they let Charlie come
inside.
Because someone has to eat thebeak.
SPEAKER_01 (15:36):
Alright, so Charlie.
Frank forces Charlie to eat thebeak.
Dude, do you know what you'vejust done?
Do you not remember the episodewhere Charlie has to kill all
the rats?
SPEAKER_02 (15:49):
You just a rat murderer in a house with a rat.
Well, I think Splinter canhandle himself.
He's about the size of Charlie.
SPEAKER_01 (15:56):
He's got Charlie and Frank arguing in the corner.
He's just staring at him.
I have to kill this rat.
It's the biggest rat I've everseen.
Charlie, you can't kill the rat.
He's my best friend.
Come on.
SPEAKER_02 (16:05):
Be quiet and eat your beak.
Yeah.
I don't want to eat the beak.
SPEAKER_01 (16:08):
He's like, yeah, Charlie just like pulls a bat
out.
It's got a bunch of nails on it.
It's like, I gotta kill the rat.
SPEAKER_02 (16:13):
Go burn some trash.
I'm getting cold.
SPEAKER_01 (16:16):
Joel's noticing the camera.
Who brought the fucking baseballrat?
Pulls out a gun.
Margin's like, no, no, no, no,no, no, no.
I'm a cop.
I can't let you do this.
Okay.
Royal's like, I think I actuallymight be the most normal person.
SPEAKER_02 (16:32):
He might be.
Wonder Woman's definitelyrethinking her day.
Maybe I should start living alittle bit more than a quarter
mile at a time.
I feel like I feel like WonderWoman has a thing for Frank.
She likes him a little dirty.
Okay.
I mean, that's definitely tinydirty men.
SPEAKER_01 (16:49):
That's definitely a choice.
It's like, I just like uh, Idon't know what accent she has.
Some random accent.
So yeah.
Um, she's like, yeah, these aremy best friends.
These are my favoritecharacters.
SPEAKER_02 (17:06):
Everybody thinks about lying.
She lasses them.
Yeah.
So I think this would uh Ithought like I was building out
like a pretty crazy story.
SPEAKER_01 (17:16):
I'm having the best time of my life.
I'm just sitting there like, Ididn't I told Jason not to bring
so many fucking creatures.
Like the creatures aren't eventhe worst part.
It's Charlie and Frank.
Just became an insane situation.
By the end of the thing, likethe rest of the gang broke
(17:36):
through the back of the house.
We we go into the back and youyou got D.
She's like under a cut.
It's like it's so cold.

podcast, and it's like buildingthe perfect NFL uh Thanksgiving
table.
And it's what they did was isthey put uh personalities from
NFL players, announcers, andthings like that, and they said
they all got to pick like threeor four uh three each, and
there's like five of them doingit, and they're just like, Oh, I
(01:09):
think it'd be funny to have thisperson at the uh Thanksgiving
table.
So that's kind of what we'regonna do for this.
No, no.
SPEAKER_02 (01:16):
So which would also be fun.
SPEAKER_01 (01:18):
Yeah.
I'm gonna set up uh set thescene, right?
So it's me and Jason.
We invited five of our ourfriends, which are movie crazy.
I'm doing it.
Oh okay, and we talked to eachother and we decided we're
allowed to bring five people tothis dinner table.
Uh Thanksgiving dinner table.
Yes.
(01:38):
Uh only we're allowed to bringone creature to the Thanksgiving
table.
And the rest just have to be uhhuman beings in movies.
Um and I'm gonna set the scene alittle bit.
Me and Jason, we moved toPhiladelphia, right?
Oh, we're gonna Philadelphia?
Yeah, we're in Philadelphia.
(01:58):
Oh, never mind.
Uh we set up the dinner table,right?
And uh it's the former home ofdoubt uh Dr.
Malcolm Crow.
Um Sixth Sense.
Because we have a we have asecret special guest.
Oh, nice.
Bruce Willis from The SixthSense is here.
(02:19):
Nobody can see him, but just soyou know, whenever people start
to get a little cold, it'sbecause there's a ghost here,
baby.
Hey, love.
No, I just thought it'd be funnyif I was like I was whenever I
was thinking of the idea, I waslike, ha, Dr.
Malcolm Crow's here, baby.
But yeah, so essentially we'rejust building out, uh, we're
just gonna go back and forthpicking someone we want at our
(02:41):
dinner dinner table, all right?
Hell yeah.
So we go one and one, or shouldwe just give the whole list?
Yeah, I'm actually I'm gonnastart because I have the perfect
perfect starter.
Especially goes with the samethe episode uh that's coming out
next week.
Uh right next week.
Yeah, next Monday.
Um, so who walks in other thanmotherfucking Dom Toretto, baby?
(03:08):
He drove a quarter mile down theroad to get here.
He is your neighbor.
Yeah, so I just think, you know,if we're gonna have a if we're
gonna have a Thanksgivingdinner, we gotta have someone
that's gonna just, you know,tell everybody, hey, be quiet,
it's time to eat.
SPEAKER_02 (03:21):
He also brings a case of Corona.
SPEAKER_01 (03:23):
He's gonna bring the beer, right?
For everybody to drink.
Um he sits at the edge of thetable, of course, because he's
in charge.
Even though it's our house.
SPEAKER_02 (03:30):
You mean the the end?
SPEAKER_01 (03:31):
Like the uh table.
He dictates who says prayer andwho gives a speech.
He also gives a speech aboutbeing thankful for his family.
So I think it's like the perfectif you're gonna talk about
family and friends, you gottahave Dom Toretto there.
His head shine real nice too.
SPEAKER_02 (03:47):
Not where it's got like a lipstick stain on it.
SPEAKER_01 (03:50):
Yeah, and this is, you know, we're gonna say is
around like now time from uh themovies that he's in now.
So, you know, um the sleeveswhich are in the first movie,
they come off now.
Oh so he's showing up with nosleeves.
Nice.
So you know we're getting primedon Coretto.
But yeah, you know, he justcomes in, he's talking about
family, talking about who heloves, you know.
(04:10):
All right, Jason, who are youinviting?
SPEAKER_02 (04:12):

From what movie?
SPEAKER_02 (04:20):
Because it's movie characters.
Harriet and Henderson.
SPEAKER_03 (04:23):

SPEAKER_00 (04:25):
Bigfoot.
SPEAKER_01 (04:29):
Yeah, all right.
What's your story with him?
Uh well, that's what I'm saying.
Why do you think he would begreat at the dinner?
SPEAKER_02 (04:33):
I think because he I think he's got a lot of
explaining to do.
SPEAKER_01 (04:36):
You know, I think it makes sense because uh he's
gonna come in.
We're gonna be like, well, I'mgonna be like, me and Dom are
like, well, you brought Bigfoot,and then Dom's like, you brought
somebody with more hair than me.
SPEAKER_02 (04:46):
He may have remained ridden with Dom with his head
out the window, yeah.
I think it's great.
SPEAKER_01 (04:51):
And I think Dom and Bigfoot would be great friends
because like everyone He'swearing two tank tops.
Every Well, that's the only wayyou can be Dom's friend.
I think it's gonna be greatbecause you know, like every
time that like Bigfoot makes ajoke, he like he puts like a
little bit of hair on Dom, andDom's like, eh, buddy.
That's hilarious.
Yeah.
Everybody's like, hell yeah.
SPEAKER_02 (05:11):
But no, I think I think Bigfoot was there at the
first Thanksgiving, but hedidn't make it into any of the
portraits.
That's just kind of his thing.
SPEAKER_01 (05:19):
What you didn't know is that like in all like the
violence that happened, it'sactually Bigfoot the whole time.
No way, no fucking way.
It's like like the the pilgrimsgot there and they're like, Who
killed all these Indians?
Who killed these Indians?
SPEAKER_02 (05:33):
It was Bigfoot.
He's but Bigfoot's over therelike, no, dude, it wasn't me.
Let me steal all their corn andshit.
He was just the blur in thebackground of that famous
painting.
SPEAKER_01 (05:42):
Yeah.
All right, so so far, Dom andBigfoot showed up.
So is Bigfoot sitting at theother end of the table?
SPEAKER_02 (05:51):
Um no, I'd I'd say he's sitting somewhere in the
middle.
Okay, cool.
Probably right where the turkeyis in the center.
SPEAKER_01 (05:57):
And you know who's sitting directly next to
Bigfoot?
Marge Gunderson from Fargo.
She's like coming in there withher Midwestern accent.
What a sweetheart.
She's there.
She's everybody's favoriteperson there, too.
Everybody loves her.
She's so nice and sweet.
And when someone says dumb,she's always like, okay, that's
(06:19):
dumb.
They all help her get food andclear her plate and everything.
They're always helping her.
She doesn't have to lift afinger around the house.
And this is direct rules fromDom Toretto.
She's a delight for everyone.
When they're all, they all sayor do anything stupid, she
corrects them and they listenbecause she's fucking March
Blenderson, baby.

SPEAKER_02 (06:41):

office.
SPEAKER_01 (06:43):
She's also a cop.

except and they all love her.
But yeah, I just think uh such awonderful, delightful lady.
And you know she's just gonna begreat, and you know she's gonna
have some sort of deliciousMidwest casserole.
Of course.
SPEAKER_02 (07:03):
Let's see, I have a problem with my next guest.

You can't go there.
That's far from bargaining.
(08:05):
It's a little ways fromMinnesota, don't you think?

And then at this point, wheneverybody's showing up, they're
like, ooh, it's getting a littlecold in here.
You're seeing their breath,you're like, ooh, something has
passed through me.
SPEAKER_02 (08:20):

You know, like every time hestarts raising his voice, and
they're also both Christianbecause you know Jules quotes
the Bible in the movie, and uhshe's Midwesterner, so she has
(09:35):
to be.

So he's drinking wine out of hiscan.
Just drink beers and pours winein him.
He starts gurgling like he doesin this show.
Yeah, this is great.
This is great because this is uhthis will pair along nice with
(10:44):
my shitty person that shows up.
Oh, that's fantastic.
He's like constantly just sayingoff the wall shit.
Yeah, it's it's incredible.
SPEAKER_02 (10:55):
But he and Wonder Woman are pretty tight.
SPEAKER_01 (10:57):
Pretty tight.
Oh, that's great.
So for uh my shit hit that comesin.
I picked Royal Tinnenbaum.
Yes.
He causes the most ruckus out ofeverybody in my group and
eventually gets kicked out atthe end of the night uh by my
next character.
He hits a little bit, he triesto, you know, like hit on Marge
a little bit.
Marge is like, Dom.
(11:19):
Jeez, this guy keeps hitting onme, don't you know?
Um but like he at firsteverybody loves him.
They got he's you know, Royal'sgot great stories.
Everybody knows that he'sconstantly lying, but they like
his stories, but he startsgetting a little sexist, and
because he's a little racist,Jules doesn't like that, and
neither will my next guest.
SPEAKER_02 (11:36):
But Frank loves it.
He thinks it's hilarious.
SPEAKER_01 (11:40):
Like, oh, you should have seen all these whores out
with me.
Royal's like, uh, I would liketo know more about these whores.
Frank and Royal, they definitelyget kicked out at the same time,
and then they go off and have afucking wild night.
Oh, I would love the afterThanksgiving, a wild night out
(12:01):
with Royal Tinnenbaum, Frank,and the rest of the gang.
But after like Frank and thegang and Royal like have a crazy
night.
I can see the title of that It'sAlways Funny episode.
Uh, the the gang meets RoyalTinnenbaum.
Okay, who's your head cricket?
SPEAKER_02 (12:21):
Oh so the next one, which is kind of a bit
controversial as to whether heis not a creature or not.
Well, I thought Splinter fromthe Ninja Turtles would be
great.
SPEAKER_01 (12:35):
You bent the rules, but that's okay.
SPEAKER_02 (12:37):
He was human until he got oozed.
SPEAKER_01 (12:39):
That's true.
Wait, he was never human?
Yeah.
There were little rats andturtles and they got the ooze.
SPEAKER_02 (12:46):
No, he was okay.
Two different storylines here.
Okay.
I only know the movie one.
The OG storyline is that he wasbit by a radioactive rat, I get
it.
No, no, no, no.
SPEAKER_01 (12:57):
He was That's how everybody becomes something.
SPEAKER_02 (12:59):
No, no.
He just like he came to NewYork, he was a ninjutsu
instructor or whatever, superwise, and like great.
He goes, he has to live in thesewer for some reason because
he's poor.
He lives with the rats, the oozespills on him and the rats.
SPEAKER_01 (13:16):
Oh becomes a rat.
It's a thing situation.
Like from the thing, they startmerging together.
It's a very fly situation.
SPEAKER_02 (13:23):
Yeah.
But I figure he would be great.
You made a funny.
And he's got a lot of greatwisdom, right?
Yeah.
SPEAKER_01 (13:33):
So that makes sense to like when Frank and Royal are
being like so uh, you know, justbad people, he he like, oh, sit
down with me.
I have something very I almoststarted doing an accent.
Don't do that.
Don't do that.
Um sit down with me and I'llteach you my ways.
SPEAKER_02 (13:50):
And rats are pretty clean, you know, they wash their
hands all the time.
Yeah.
With their mouths.
SPEAKER_01 (13:54):
That works.
Yeah.
SPEAKER_02 (13:55):
Unless, you know, they're New York rats and
they're dirty as well.
Which he kind of is.
SPEAKER_01 (14:00):
It's just like Marge's Marge is like, Jules,
uh, there seems to be kind of alot of uh hairy creatures here,
don't you know?
SPEAKER_02 (14:10):
Man over there.
SPEAKER_01 (14:11):
Jules is like, there's a lot of motherfucking
hairy creatures in thismotherfucking house.
SPEAKER_02 (14:16):
I feel like he and Bigfoot have a lot to talk
about.
Yeah.
Like hair care and shampoo.
SPEAKER_01 (14:22):
He's like, it just goes up to Bigfoot.
He's like, how do you get yourhair so straight?
Mine's always so mad at.
All right.
For my last character, I choseone of the most charismatic
people on the planet, ApolloCreed, baby, from the Rocky
movie.
Everybody here loves a porn.
SPEAKER_02 (14:40):
He's gonna have his boxing gloves on, holding the
forks.
SPEAKER_01 (14:42):
Of course.
unknown (14:43):
The fork and the knife.
SPEAKER_01 (14:45):
I mean, Splinter's gonna help him eat.
He feeds him.
Yeah, he's got his chopsticks.
Tons of great boxing stories.
Great for the Thanksgivingtable.
Him and Dom bond over Cards.
Mary and Splinter could spar.
They could spar.
Feats of strength.
And this is where Apollo learnshow to finally defeat Rocky.
Damn.
For the third time.
(15:07):
Mars and Apollo talk aboutfamily life.
Jules and Apollo talk abouttravels and the things they've
learned from traveling.
Apollo punches Royal for being aracist and a womanizer and kicks
him out.
Yay.
SPEAKER_02 (15:23):
Alright, who's your last one?
We could have some good fights.
Oh, things would be great.
My last one, I was I think theythey get felt bad for the gang.
Uh well, for most of the gang,and they let Charlie come
inside.
Because someone has to eat thebeak.
SPEAKER_01 (15:36):
Alright, so Charlie.
Frank forces Charlie to eat thebeak.
Dude, do you know what you'vejust done?
Do you not remember the episodewhere Charlie has to kill all
the rats?
SPEAKER_02 (15:49):
You just a rat murderer in a house with a rat.
Well, I think Splinter canhandle himself.
He's about the size of Charlie.
SPEAKER_01 (15:56):
He's got Charlie and Frank arguing in the corner.
He's just staring at him.
I have to kill this rat.
It's the biggest rat I've everseen.
Charlie, you can't kill the rat.
He's my best friend.
Come on.
SPEAKER_02 (16:05):
Be quiet and eat your beak.
Yeah.
I don't want to eat the beak.
SPEAKER_01 (16:08):
He's like, yeah, Charlie just like pulls a bat
out.
It's got a bunch of nails on it.
It's like, I gotta kill the rat.
SPEAKER_02 (16:13):
Go burn some trash.
I'm getting cold.
SPEAKER_01 (16:16):
Joel's noticing the camera.
Who brought the fucking baseballrat?
Pulls out a gun.
Margin's like, no, no, no, no,no, no, no.
I'm a cop.
I can't let you do this.
Okay.
Royal's like, I think I actuallymight be the most normal person.
SPEAKER_02 (16:32):
He might be.
Wonder Woman's definitelyrethinking her day.
Maybe I should start living alittle bit more than a quarter
mile at a time.
I feel like I feel like WonderWoman has a thing for Frank.
She likes him a little dirty.
Okay.
I mean, that's definitely tinydirty men.
SPEAKER_01 (16:49):
That's definitely a choice.
It's like, I just like uh, Idon't know what accent she has.
Some random accent.
So yeah.
Um, she's like, yeah, these aremy best friends.
These are my favoritecharacters.
SPEAKER_02 (17:06):
Everybody thinks about lying.
She lasses them.
Yeah.
So I think this would uh Ithought like I was building out
like a pretty crazy story.
SPEAKER_01 (17:16):
I'm having the best time of my life.
I'm just sitting there like, Ididn't I told Jason not to bring
so many fucking creatures.
Like the creatures aren't eventhe worst part.
It's Charlie and Frank.
Just became an insane situation.
By the end of the thing, likethe rest of the gang broke
