goofy and charming, though he ishe's such a little boy in this,
even though he's like 24 yearsold so what would be your power

let me, yeah will arnett willarnett, babe, babe, let me get
some, let me get some dong bagsso, like his the the line babe
was all ad-libbed.

Speaker 1 (02:09):
When he's just like screaming babe, all ad-libbed,
even the cool beans, likethey're just supposed to be,
like cool beans, cool beans.
And then they lonely island theshit out of it, because, of
course, this is, uh, this istheir first movie.
Like you got akiva shaker,denny mc, this is their first
movie.
Like you got Akiva Shaper.
Is this Danny McBride's firstmovie too?
Ooh, I don't know.
That's a no, no, cause he wasDavid Gordon Green who did like

(02:34):
the new Halloween movies andstuff.
They did a movie called GeorgeWashington.
It's a Criterion collection.
I need to buy it.
Nice, yeah, danny McBride,though right, buy it nice.
Yeah, um danny mcbride thoughright, jesus christ brother,
that was the guy.
It's the guy.
I could never remember his name, but now I'm like I've studied
it.

Speaker 2 (02:52):
I'm like it's danny mcbride.
It's danny mcbride it's a lotdifferent in this one yeah, he
doesn't any other one.

Speaker 1 (02:57):
He's younger but also almost looks older because his
hair is shaved, but he's beendrinking green tea all day.
Gotta love Bill Hader as Dave.
It's so good.
Apparently, bill Hader, all themannerisms and the way he's
talking and stuff were all donebecause of the way he had a

(03:21):
friend growing up that actedjust like this.

Speaker 2 (03:24):
It's awesome.

Speaker 1 (03:26):
He's like hells.
Yeah, why did you call yourselfVoltron?
Because it's badass, and I loveKevin.
He's so good when he's in hisroom and, like I guess he's
supposed to be like I don't knoweight, he's in his room doing
karaoke to stuffed animals.

(03:47):
It's so funny.
Ian McShane, classic actor,elah Fisher she's Amy Adams'
doppelganger, oh nice.
Yeah, she's great.
She's funny, makes a rod poop.
God, amy Adams is adorable.

Speaker 2 (04:04):
Agree, agree.
Orva Adams is adorable, mm-hmm.
Agree, agree.

Speaker 1 (04:06):
Or Amy Adams.
Right, I said Ava Amy Adams.
Yeah, she was like one of thebest actresses for a while and
then like kept not doing goodmovies and it's like Amy come
back to us.
And Sissy Spacek, carrieherself as the mother.
Oh nice, she's the only likestraight-laced character in the
whole movie, but it works.
That's a good thing.

(04:26):
Let's see what else did I havefor.
So this movie has 39% RottenTomatoes Accurate or not
accurate.

Speaker 2 (04:36):
I don't think it's.
I usually don't give RottenTomatoes that much credit,
because this is definitelymid-80s percentage type of score
.

Speaker 1 (04:45):
Yeah, I don't either.
I was just like when I waslooking up notes I was like this
movie's only 39%, that's BS.
Dude.
Like how do you just watch thisand be like not funny?

Speaker 2 (04:55):
My wife probably left a million bad reviews to offset
all the good ones, so I can seewhy.
Oh is that what it is?
It's just too silly.
Her wives are around the world.
They're like don't let yourhusband watch this.

Speaker 1 (05:05):
Well, my wife loves the movie and that's why I'm
married.
That'd be a wild thing.
Um, I don't know.
It's like what is it shedoesn't like?
Just too too childish.
Yes, yeah, but did she not?

Speaker 2 (05:21):
I like slapstick.
I really care for slapstick,humor, slapstick, oh gosh.
Well, when it comes to peoplefalling down, that's a
completely different story.

Speaker 1 (05:28):
Yeah, I mean like you didn't start the movie and then
him going up the ramp andimmediately crash and there's no
laugh at all.

Speaker 2 (05:35):
Well, she wasn't really paying attention.
She was just sitting next to mewatching her own thing, did she
make?

Speaker 1 (05:41):
it to the point where they're walking down the street
and then an angry mom before itbreaks out I don't know if you
don't laugh at that.
I don't know what's wrong withyou?
Their faces are all turningaround like what the fuck?
They're all singing.
Is that good um?
Is it too goofy or just right?

Speaker 2 (06:00):
uh, it's.
It's on the verge of being toogoofy really sometimes, yeah,
but I think it's pretty fuckingfunny.

Speaker 1 (06:07):
I think, like if you compare it to, I don't know,
even like Wayne's World orAwesome Powers.
It's like not even as goofy asthem.

Speaker 2 (06:14):
I don't think it's that over the top.
I do like how they have afascination with stuntmen,
because if you look at all themovies, danny McBride is in
almost all of them, notPineapple Express, but like and
Righteous Gemstones too.
His son is a badass stuntman.

Speaker 1 (06:30):
Have you ever watched a Danny McBride movie and there
not been fireworks somewhere?

Speaker 2 (06:34):
Or explosions.

Speaker 1 (06:36):
Because I don't think he's.
This is one of the two moviesthat I know that he is in
control of pyrotechnics this andTropic.

Speaker 2 (06:47):
Thunder it just.
Anytime I see him in a movie,it just reminds me of being a
kid and like blowing shit upwith fireworks.
Bonnie Hills yeah, and all yourfriends are just sitting around
going awesome, he just has it.

Speaker 1 (07:01):
Like he has that.
Oh, it's my like next doorfriend that I grew up with.
That just like man.
He really liked explodingthings.
He was really blunt and kind ofrude all the time but he's so
fun to be around, interestingperson.
Yeah, I had a friend like that.
So our guy, roger Ebert, gavethis movie some thumbs up baby.

(07:23):
Roger Ebert gave this moviesome thumbs up baby.
So just remember whenever, ifyour wife says how stupid the
movie is, it's like the greatRoger Ebert who is the master of
reviews.

Speaker 2 (07:35):
Got it right?
No, what you have to do is saylisten, let me explain this why
this is funny to you and wordsthat you will understand.

Speaker 1 (07:47):
Hey, as a man, let me explain why this is funny to
your female ears.
But roger ebert gave this athree out of four, which,
because he only does four starsup to four stars.
So, uh, that's like, that'spretty good.
Uh, above average, dude, it'sjust like me.
Take that that Rotten Tomatoes.
So the movie is funny becauseit is sincere.

(08:08):
It likes Rod.
It doesn't portray him as amaniacal goofball, but as an
ambitious kid who really thinksevery single time that he will
succeed.
In creating this aurora ofsincerity, hot Rod benefits from
SpaceX's performance.
She plays the mom absolutelystraight, without inflection, as
if she was not in a comedy.
That's the only right choice.
Supporting characters areneeded to reinforce Rod, not

(08:29):
compete with him.
Yeah, so yeah, read that toyour wife.
They're very supportive friends.
They're very supportive.
They're great friends.
Never had any like supportivefriends.
Growing up, I always felt like Iwas the supportive friend yeah,
I was always the one too, butmaybe that's probably how
everybody feels.
Everybody feels like they'rethe supportive friend.
Yeah, that's a good point,because nobody gets enough

(08:50):
attention.
Yeah, roger, way to get itright.
Buddy, if he likes it,everybody should like it.
And so you know, lonely Islanddid this film.
You got Akiva directing, youhave Jorma, he's Kevin and then
Andy Samberg.
Do you have a favorite LonelyIsland skit?

Speaker 2 (09:10):
Um, I don't really know, I can't really pin one
down, but I do love their shit,like maybe have you ever seen?

Speaker 1 (09:19):
Throw it On the Ground.
Throw it On the Ground, that isvery good.

Speaker 2 (09:23):
Take that cell phone and throw it on the ground.
That is very good.
Take that cell phone and throwit on the ground Cell phone
rings.

Speaker 1 (09:29):
She says it's my dad.
This is not my dad, it's a cellphone.

Speaker 2 (09:35):
So good, I always loved.
I jizzed in my pants.
That was my first.

Speaker 1 (09:40):
That was like the first big one where people were
like whoa, they do good movies.
Well, I guess the first big oneis Lazy Sunday.
I don't think it was, it's theChronicles.
What of Narnia?
You've never seen that?
Oh no, I think I have seen it,I just don't remember it.
It's got Chris Fernell in it.
That's cool.
Well, we're going to have towatch it then, after this I will

(10:06):
show you all the good ones.
I like the one about the piratesof the caribbean.
Yeah, they did that at um.
They did like a medley at uhthe snl 50 concert.
That they did, it was great.
They did like all their bigsongs.
Lady gaga helped them with uhdick in a box it was great nice
yeah, so we'll do some behindthe scene facts.
Dun, dun, dun dun Don't know whyI did that.

(10:27):
So Will Ferrell was originallyslated to play Rod.
I wonder if he was supposed tobe like a 20 year old that would
have been just fine.
Yeah, so the title role in HotRod was originally written for
Will Ferrell and he was evencast in the role.
However, he had to bow out dueto scheduling conflicts with
other projects.
After Will Ferrell dropped out,the role was offered to Andy

(10:50):
Samberg, who was beginning tojourney to becoming one of the
21st century's most recognizablecomedy stars, and Ferrell
became executive producer.
So, bill Hader, he had to putextensions in his hair.
It's not a wig, it's extensionswow, because he always kind of
had like medium hair.

(11:11):
It looks ridiculous.
Yeah, it looks great.
It's definitely why he wears avisor or a hat the whole time.
Probably the original scriptwas written by South Park's Pam
Brady.
She was like she like ananimator.
No, she was just a writer.
She wrote the original script.
She worked as a writer forSouth Park during its earliest

(11:33):
seasons and also has a writingcredit alongside Trey Parker and
Matt Stone on South Park,bigger, longer and Uncut and
Team America World Police Fuck,yeah.
However, after Hot Rod wasoffered to the Lonely Island,
they completely rewrote thescript to suit their uniquely
wacky comedy style.
Good, I want to know what thismovie was before I know.

(11:55):
Was it a little more serious?

Speaker 2 (11:59):
No, not possible.
It's possible right.

Speaker 1 (12:03):
And they shot this.
They shot this between seasonsof SNL because you know they're
all three were on SNL.
Jorm and Akiva were writers atthe time and they all come from
YouTube, so they all kind of goton at the same time together.
That's cool.
Yeah, all of Andy Sandberg'sstunt doubles had to wear
prosthetic noses Because.

Speaker 2 (12:24):
Andy Samberg's got a honker on him.

Speaker 1 (12:27):
Because it's like his most distinguishing physical
features.
Yeah, so Samberg's longtimefriends and Lonely Island
cohorts, Akiva Schaefer, whodirected the movie Androma,
played a prank on Samberg byrequesting prosthetic noses that
were bigger than Samberg's tomake him feel insecure.

Speaker 2 (12:48):
Don't have the biggest nose in the room anymore
.

Speaker 1 (12:50):
Such a good bit.
It's fucking hilarious.
But yeah, like I said earlier,bill Haters based his character
off one of his friends namedEric.
The scene in which Dave istripping and asked Rod to drive
him to the hospital was based onreal incidents.
Involved Eric In real life.
Eric was the Dave and Hader wasthe Rod.

(13:11):
That's incredible, that's sogood.
And I guess Bill Hader andDanny McBride they watched
America's Next Top Model on theset all the time, like between
shoots.
And they all just kind of hungout and Andy Samberg performed
some of his own stunts Like thereal easy ones.

(13:33):
Yeah, he required a couple ofstunt doubles for Hot Rod, but
he performed as many of his ownstunts as the studio would allow
him to do, including the pooljump.

Speaker 2 (13:43):
Not the falling down the mountain.
No, definitely not him or anyof the athletic things he used
to do, including the pool jump.
Not the falling down themountain, no.

Speaker 1 (13:46):
Definitely not him or any of the athletic things he
used to do Footloosing and thatI love a good footloose dance
sequence.

Speaker 2 (13:57):
Parody.
It's great.
You always imagine walking upon somebody doing that in the
forest, just to be like thatwould be awesome.
Wow, this guy did mushrooms orsomething, and then he gets
really angry when you try tojoin in.
He's like no, this is my thing.

Speaker 1 (14:15):
It's like no, I want to fight.
You want to fight?
Dance, let's go.
Have you ever just danced outof anger?
No, can't say I have.
I usually just sit and stew andthen make some stew and sit in
it.
So, bro, anything else you wantto talk about before we get
into it?

(14:35):
No, I don't think so All right,let's go Hot rod baby, it's time
to get hot on this rod.
I don't fucking care, I don'tthink Snakes rolling his eyes
over here.
So film starts with a man namedRod putting on a kid like
stuntman outfit and mustache.
You know, I really related tohim a little bit for the

(14:58):
mustache.
Now I can grow up pretty easy,but mustaches are hard to grow.

Speaker 2 (15:03):
Especially to be that fancy.

Speaker 1 (15:03):
Yeah, I hate it, like it just it just just stops
right at, like the.
But mustaches are hard to grow,especially to be that fancy.
Yeah, I hate like it just.

Speaker 2 (15:06):
It just just stops right at, like the right on the
edge of my lips yeah, what doyou even do to make it so fancy?
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (15:13):
I want to know how do you the fuck, do you trim a
mustache?

Speaker 2 (15:17):
every time I do it, I just mess it up and have to
shave yeah exactly same pissesme off.

Speaker 1 (15:21):
Pisses me off.
So if you know how to trimmustaches, go to the link in the
description and click on it andlet us know.
So we see he's about to jump avan.
He asks his half-brother, kevin, if he reinforced the takeoff
ramp.
He says no, they didn't havetime.
Time for what?
What do you mean?
What type of like?
What timetable are we at here?

(15:43):
Then he prepares himself Soulof an eagle.
Then he goes, the rampimmediately falls apart and he
crashes hard Like oh God, it wasso painful to watch.
Have you ever wanted to be astuntman?

Speaker 2 (15:59):
No, never had the desire.
I mean I always.
I did my own stunts growing up.

Speaker 1 (16:03):
Yeah, me too.
But I got injured a lot I feltlike after I because I trained
to become a professionalwrestler a little bit and I
learned how to fall and takebumps and stuff and I was like,
huh, if I don't become afilmmaker, maybe I should try to
become a stuntman.
And I was like jumped out of awindow.
But then you watch stuntmen andthey're just like falling face
first on the ground.
It's like nah Settingthemselves on fire.

(16:26):
I think I'm good, I would dothat.
That'd be cool.

Speaker 2 (16:28):
You just put jelly on you Like watching the Righteous
Gemstones like his son was sucha fucking badass Like when he's
driving the monster truck yeah,it was so cool and he can just
drive, so well I forgot abouthis son Do all stuntmen learn to
drive that.
Well, yeah, that's incredible,right?
Jim's son baby.

Speaker 1 (16:47):
This Sunday, so excited, Hell yeah.
Also, we got to point out thesilly pedal like moped bike that
he has and he thinks he's goingto jump anything.
Ring, ring Especially when weget to the pool.
This is not going to work.
So so now we're into the introdanger on the track by europe.
Most of the songs are by europe.
In this movie we see him doingtiny, uh little stunts.

(17:11):
He's being followed by kids.
He gives, like these kids, aflyer for a stunt show where
he's gonna be jumping a pool andthen, like he thinks he's so
cool and he's like doing donutson the way out, but he's
completely standing off the bikeand just driving in circles.

Speaker 2 (17:25):
He's got some showmanship.

Speaker 1 (17:30):
I love when it gets to the end and he has the actual
dirt bike and you cut to likeDave Bill Hader's character.

Speaker 2 (17:33):
He's like he's going in circles, he's going in
circles.

Speaker 1 (17:38):
It's so good.
So then we see some of hisfriends, because Rod is
alongside Kevin and their friendRico, who are hanging out at a
burger shack guessing jelly beanflavors he gets 100 straight.
That's impressive.
Dude Jelly beans taste likenothing half the time.
I used to do the same thingwith candies.
Just hanging out with yourfriends, like eating jelly beans

(18:00):
, guessing flavors, what's thehighest you got to?

Speaker 2 (18:03):
Guessing flavors.
Yeah Well, I guess every flavorin a pack of Skittles one time.
That was pretty good, eventhough there's really not that
many flavors.

Speaker 1 (18:10):
One they also all it's like five.
They're all the same flavor.
Yeah, I didn't say I was goodat it.
They all have the same flavor.
No, they don't.
There's lemon cherry grapegreen apple, but don't they all
taste the same?
No, they're just sugar with redon it.
Who even are you?

(18:31):
I don't know, maybe I'mthinking of something else.

Speaker 2 (18:35):
M&M's definitely have the same flavor.

Speaker 1 (18:41):
All Skittles taste the same, I'll settle this once
and for all.
Okay, I don't want to talkabout it.
All right, so let's continue.
They are joined by their friendDave, aka Voltron.
It's like Voltron.
Why'd you do Voltron?
Because it's badass, hells.
Yeah, it is.
They sit down, rico, find somefireworks.

(19:02):
If they go to the side set themoff.

Speaker 2 (19:04):
Find some fireworks in the men's room.
They go down Rico.
Find some fast fireworks, likeif they go to the side of the
bed room, do you?

Speaker 1 (19:09):
they go.
It's like do you get ready tobe dazzled?
And fireworks do nothing.
It's like how old are theseguys?
Are they in high school?
I don't know.
Is it just like summer break inhigh school?

Speaker 2 (19:23):
no, definitely no, I think they're not in high school
anymore.

Speaker 1 (19:26):
They gotta be adults.

Speaker 2 (19:27):
Right, they're adults but they still hang out at the
high school to pass out flyers.

Speaker 1 (19:31):
Yeah, this is fun.
I'm so excited to get to.

Speaker 2 (19:33):
Richardson.

Speaker 1 (19:35):
So Rod and Kevin they head home.
Rod runs through the door andlocks Kevin out.
I was like it's so funny.
Every tiny little bit is goodin this movie.
Oh so then we see Rod preparingfor an epic fight.
Kevin asks why Rod and hisstepdad keep fighting each other

(19:55):
.
Rod tells him, since he he's astepson, he has to earn his
stepdad's respect.
And then Rod goes ancestorsprotect me.
May they protect you.
So good Respect.

Speaker 2 (20:05):
And then Rod goes.
Ancestors protect me.

Speaker 1 (20:07):
May they protect you.
So good, everything's fallingoff my lap right now.
So he goes to the basementwhere Frank is working out.
Rod immediately gets taken down.
Never seek up on a man who'sbeen in a chemical fire.

Speaker 2 (20:19):
He's just like legs, sweeping him and kicking his ass
so hard.

Speaker 1 (20:25):
Did you ever fight a grown man before?

Speaker 2 (20:27):
Oh no, not really.
Well, I mean like Play, fight,at least Wrestle.
It's like hand-to-hand combattraining.
But we weren't like, becauseyou have to get like
certifications to do differenttypes of of hand to hand stuff
training, yeah, and so when youstart off, you can only do it

(20:49):
from your knees, like you haveto.
You have to be on your kneeswrestling with just your arms.
I don't want to, I don't wantto, I don't want to.
Both parties are on their knees.

Speaker 1 (21:00):
It's not like I don't want to tell you this man, but
maybe you have some repressedmemories, maybe that you're
misremembering.
Well, that's cool.
So that was like a militaryschool training.
Yeah, yeah, that's cool.
So you start on your knees andthen, like, once you graduate,

(21:24):
they have like a graduation likeceremony.
Whenever it's like you now maystand Like during the ceremony,
like you're sitting down butthen, whenever you have to go up
and get your diploma, you haveto walk on your knees and once
you get that diploma, they'relike you may stand, and then
they start trying to stab youwith knives and then you get
punched by a woman.
Yeah, hell, yeah, she.
What is this?
My fantasy?

Speaker 2 (21:45):
No, there was a guy that I knew who.
He was highly certified in itand he would always help with
the training and it was awful.
His favorite part was when hegot to fight the women, because
they're.

Speaker 1 (21:59):
I'd love to know where he's at in life.
I know.

Speaker 2 (22:01):
It's awful.
He's like there's so muchweaker, easier to punch.
I'm like what?
Wow, but they're using glovesand protective equipment.
Yeah Right, so it's.

Speaker 1 (22:10):
Well, I will say Still.

Speaker 2 (22:13):
It's so fucked.

Speaker 1 (22:14):
You're getting enjoyment out of it when you're
you know, like when you're a kidand like you have a big brother
, it's like when you wrestleit's always gotta be super fun
to like throw you around, right?
So, like you know, as I wasgetting older and like getting
in like junior high and highschool, all my like little
cousins were small and we kindof wrestle and he'd be like just
like holding them up in the air.

(22:35):
It's like, oh my God.
So I could see that if he'slike getting his ass kicked by a
bunch of dudes and he's like,oh, thank God, I can just
finally win something, yeahbecause he wasn't, or if I don't
know where this guy lives, butif there seems to be a bunch of
murder of women, contact.

Speaker 2 (22:54):
Jason and we'll link in our description.
I wonder if, when he was a kid,he's like I can't wait to join
the army so I can hit a woman,so I can beat up women.

Speaker 1 (23:03):
They give them like a single tier, they give them a
secret mission in, like Iraq orwhatever it's like.
Here's what you do.
You will only fight women.

Speaker 2 (23:13):
Like a Manchurian candidate.
But just for fighting womenJesus fucking Christ, let's get
out of this rabbit hole we'vedone for ourselves.

Speaker 1 (23:22):
Hey, you brought the friend up.

Speaker 2 (23:23):
Sorry, that was one of my favorite bits ever.

Speaker 1 (23:27):
So they begin to fight with their Odesian
fighting sticks.
Frank beats the shit out of Rod.
Rod tries his ultimate punch,though, ultimate punch Punches
with two hands and kicks once.
And then Frank, like, makes funof his mustache he's like a
real man grows a mustache I havea hormone disorder and then,

(23:48):
like after he loses, rod saysone day I'll punch you right in
the face and then you'll respectme.
So good, it's like he's justnever been able to punch him in
the face.
Yeah.
And then Frank tells him totake out the trash.
So he goes outside, takes thetrash can out and then walks off
screen and then runs with atrash bag, flips over to put it
in the trash.
So good.

(24:09):
So then his neighbor Denisecomes out.
We have real Spider-Man 1 vibeshere Mary Jane and Peter Parker
.
He's nervous around her.
He invites her to a pole jumpand he's like the dog barks she
has to go inside.
And then he's like you lookpretty and he's like the dog
barks, she has to go inside.
And then he's like you lookpretty and he's like what, you
look shitty.
Good night, denise.

(24:29):
Good.

Speaker 2 (24:32):
Nice cover so fucking funny.

Speaker 1 (24:36):
We should have done that.
We should have done that as theopening.
So later he's looking at apicture of two men.
His dad was an anonymousstuntman and wants to be like
him.
I love the picture as a circlearound it it has an arrow
pointing.
It's saying dad, it's like,just in case you forgot, oh God.
And then Kevin comes in.

(24:58):
This is the lie, right, yeah?
Yeah.
It ends up being a lie.
Then Kevin comes in to ask hima question.

Speaker 2 (25:07):
Get out.
Caught him in an emotionalmoment.
His fucking face.

Speaker 1 (25:16):
He has one of the best faces in comedy.
It's so like big and weird,yeah.
And then also love.
When he's laying on the bed helike pops his like you know, he
like bends his feet, so like hisfeet are like in the air.
He's got like little slipperson him, Like little kid slippers
so funny.
It's like are we sure they'renot 14 year olds?

(25:38):
I don't know.
So then we meet oh, we are atthe pool jump.
For some reason, Kevin's notthere.
I love it, because Rod's like,oh, Kevin's not here.
It's like, yeah, well, he'ssupposed to be here, he's our
team manager.
Rico's like, well, Just standsthere and stares at him and

(26:00):
walks off, Didn't even cry.
Oh, I got to watch some ofthose movies.
Then we meet Richardson, whowon't get out of the pool
because he wants to join theteam, and then he's like you
won't even add anything to it.
So he decides to show histalents and he just thrusts a
lot.
That's his talent he dances bythrusting.
If your wife watched this anddidn't laugh, it's divorce time.

Speaker 2 (26:23):
I think this is exactly why she doesn't laugh.
But why?

Speaker 1 (26:28):
I don't know what's like her favorite comedy.

Speaker 2 (26:36):
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (26:37):
I want to say Some sort of like educated British
movie.

Speaker 2 (26:43):
No, I mean, we watch a lot of ladies stand-up
comedians that are very funny.
I just have trouble rememberingtheir names.
I know she likes Bill Burr.

Speaker 1 (26:55):
What like movies.
Is she a big bridesmaid?

Speaker 2 (26:59):
I mean she liked it.
I don't really know, I know sheloves mean girls.

Speaker 1 (27:05):
Oh well, hell yeah, everybody loves mean girls.
Okay, okay, I just wanted to belike what's the range of like
comedies she likes?
Okay, I'm just gonna have toask her.

Speaker 2 (27:13):
We don't watch a lot of comedies together.
I should do that movies.

Speaker 1 (27:16):
There's nothing better than just laughing, which
I hope you're doing well wehave such different like humor,
though, but when it comes tomovies and when it's like a
series.

Speaker 2 (27:26):
It's a lot easier.
You can get into it.
She liked the Office.

Speaker 1 (27:28):
Yeah, we loved the Office and Parks and Rec.
I would consider that hellasilly.
So Denise shows up, rico, ohyeah, denise shows up.
He's like Denise At this time akid's walking by Rico.
He pushes him in the pool.
We see Rod is ready to jump.

(27:50):
He prepares himself TotemSpirit Fox and then, like you
know, to himself, like please,god, don't let me embarrass
myself in front of Denise.
So he attempts to jump andmakes it barely halfway across
the pool.
He essentially goes andstraight down.

Speaker 2 (28:09):
Yeah, it's funny to me that they love doing stunts
and they never thought about,like, the physics of it.
Yeah, because it takes a lot of.

Speaker 1 (28:16):
Yeah, never thought that maybe a pedal bike is not
the way to go.
You know.
Have you ever ridden one ofthose A pedal?
Yeah, you know, because it'slike a little moped thing had
pedals on it.

Speaker 2 (28:29):
It's like is that just like?
It's like an electricmotorcycle, Electric bicycle, I
guess so Bicycle with a littlemotor on it.

Speaker 1 (28:37):
Wish I had one as a kid.
I would be doing stuff likethis if I had one as a kid.
Let's fucking jump this so hegets home.
He's defeated.
Kevin didn't show because theyfound out Frank needs a heart
transplant, but he's talking tohis mom.
Frank's sick since when?

Speaker 2 (28:55):
since 21 years ago she's had heart disease this
whole time.

Speaker 1 (29:00):
Ron gets mad because he can't kick Frank's ass if
he's dead.
I hate you so much I want tosmash your face in too late.
I'm already dead um.

Speaker 2 (29:10):
We learned the transplant will cost fifty
thousand dollars oh, I was gonnasay, like, what's the going
rate for a heart these?

Speaker 1 (29:16):
days and like I guess the insurance won't cover it
because, um, it's like too highrisk and it's like so that's
still happening in 2024.

Speaker 2 (29:27):
It's like 20 years later we're still dealing with
that the price seems like itwould be like 10 times this yeah
.

Speaker 1 (29:32):
I mean, maybe this is like easy, like 2004, money,
you know, before the collapse ofthe economy.

Speaker 2 (29:38):
Well, I don't know it was we were still struggling
because of the war I don't know.

Speaker 1 (29:44):
So Rod says he will get them better, and then he
will beat him to death.
And angry Rod goes to his quietplace where he footlooses in
the woods he's doing like flipsand shit.
He's like really good and he'slike wait you should be a
gymnast not a stunt man but thenwe see why he's not, because he
trips over a log and then fallsfor five minutes of the movie.

(30:06):
It's like the one with AlmostHeroes with Chris Farley yeah.
That one too.
Or Black Sheep I think he doesthat in that too.
Oh man God, that was the bestFalls are the best they are.
You think they're not going tobe funny anymore, and then they
continue to fall and itcontinues to be funny.

Speaker 2 (30:23):
And then, when it stops being funny, you just look
up animals that fall down.
And it's still funny, and then,by the time you look, back up,
you see him falling, and thenyou're laughing.
I'm back in.
I'm back in baby.

Speaker 1 (30:38):
And then it turns out he lands where a giant
billboard says one big jump, andso he gets an idea.

Speaker 2 (30:41):
It's a sign.

Speaker 1 (30:42):
Yeah, I saw a sign.
Guys, what?
It's an actual sign.
So then we cut to Rico,high-fiving the shit out of Dave
and Kevin.

Speaker 2 (30:51):
He's like that's how you do it.
Do what?
How many times can youhigh-five both of us in a minute
?

Speaker 1 (31:05):
Oh, it's so good.

Speaker 2 (31:10):
Jesus.

Speaker 1 (31:12):
Christ, holy shit.
If we ever did a video podcast,that would have been our
opening.
Or maybe we should have done itfor the podcast.
That'd be even funnier, justlike that's how you do it.
Then it for the podcast.
That'd be even funnier, justlike that's how you do it.

(31:32):
Then it's unsexual Cheeksclapping yeah, so Rod.
So Rod tells him his idea tosave Frank.
He's going to raise the moneyto save Frank by jumping 15
buses and he's talking abouthe's going to have to.
First they're going to have toraise money to set up the stunt
and then the stunt's going toraise them money.

(31:54):
Dave, just randomly, in themiddle of this conversation,
tries to sneak off and he's likewhere are you going?
I forgot, I have to go to work.
So then it cuts to them all atwork while they're explaining
the plan.
And as he's explaining the plan, it cuts to like because, like
the whole time, kevin's writingit down, dave's listening, and

(32:15):
so is riko.
And then it cuts to themoutside and there's this, like a
homeless man just talking aboutlike wow, we're gonna have to
get some trash put it in thisbuggy.
And then rod comes up like guys, what are y'all doing?
They're like oh, we were justcoming up with the plan, holy
shit, oh man so good, so goodthis podcast is gonna be a lot

(32:45):
better.
So we cut to Denise playing withher dog and then she keeps
getting hit by like a reflection.
And then it cuts to like we seeRod who's like, oh shit, she's
coming.
Then he grabs a hammer andstarts banging on some engine.
He's like oh sorry, didn't seeyou there.

(33:06):
He tells her about the jump andask her to join the team and
she's like yeah, I'd love tojoin the team.
She's like.
He's like whoa, whoa, whoa.
You can't just join the team,you have to go through
initiation.
Has no idea what the initiationis, so he just dumps his slushy
on her shoe.
What the hell?
All right, you're in.
Damn, I wish all initiationswere that easy.

(33:27):
Oh golly, dude, the run of justlike comedy in this movie right
here.
It's, it's amazing, it'snon-stop, it's so funny and it's
it's also one of the moviesthat like it's a great movie and
this is the type of comedies Ireally love is whenever like
you're watching it and you laughright then when you get with a
friend and you start talkingabout it, and then you're just

(33:49):
yeah, and then you can't stop.
But also it's just like shit.
No, that was insane.
So then it's like next time youwatch it, you're gonna just
like, you're gonna have like thememory of like us two talking
about it and laughing about it,and then it's just like oh, this
movie's so amazing.
Because that's what this movieis for me, because me and my
buddy Richard growing up this iswhere I first watched it with
him, and it was so in ourwheelhouse.

(34:10):
So, like usually when I watchit, it's like that's what I kind
of think of.
That's awesome, yeah.
So if you're listening to this,richard which I know sometimes
you listen what up?
So we cut to Rico, dave andKevin.
Rico is telling Dave about hisdream.
I'm kind of grumpy today, dude.
I didn't get a lot of sleeplast night.

(34:32):
I was having those dreams again.
You know how?
It's just me in a castle and Igotta fight like a thousand
wizards and the only way to beatthem is to punch them as hard
as I can in their faces.
Then when I'm done, all theirlittle wizard wives come out and
wanted me to have sex with him,which is kind of weird.
Yeah, that's the weird part.
Uh, I love those little bitswhen it's just like rico or dave

(34:53):
and kevin just like saying someoff-the-wall, dumb shit and
it's so.
It's just, they're funny,they're funny.
So then rod and denise show up,tells them she's on the team,
so they introduce themselves.
My name's rod.
I like to party.
They all love the party, davewhat's your name?

Speaker 2 (35:07):
it's like i's Rod.
I like to party.
They all love to party.

Speaker 1 (35:09):
It's like Dave, what's your name?
It's like I'm Dave, I like toparty.
It's like no, that's not it.
It's like oh, I'm Dave.
I'm Summit Rico.
It's like I'm Rico, and Idefinitely like to party too.
It's like oh, that one'sprobably accurate.
And then like Kevin's, like I'mRod, I like to party.

Speaker 2 (35:32):
They've never spoken to a girl before.

Speaker 1 (35:34):
No, there's like they might be the dumbest people on
the planet and Rod's thesmartest one out of all of them,
which is maybe Kevin.
I just think he has like thebrain of a 700.
Are they loyal, though?

Speaker 2 (35:47):
They are.

Speaker 1 (35:49):
Hey, it doesn't matter how smart your friends
are, just find some loyal ones,all right, so training begins.
He's going to start bytoughening his lungs up.
He tells him like, hold meunder the pool, no matter how
much I fight, don't pull me uptill 40 seconds.

Speaker 2 (36:03):
He's going to ring the bell, yeah he's going to
ring the bell.

Speaker 1 (36:05):
Yeah, he's going to ring the bell.
They all start doing it.
Denise is like what the fuck?
And then all of a sudden,dave's sister comes out and is
like would you like some juice?
Yeah, just bring it out, youdon't have to ask this son.
So then they like he's gettingready to go under, he's a soul
of a bottlenose dolphin.
And then they push him.
So they push him under.

(36:29):
And then they push I can't dodolphin notes so they push them
under.
And then the sister comes outand they're all completely
distracted by the sister.
The bell breaks like Rico's,just like don't bring me that
cherry shit it gives me.
It gives me like diarrhea orsomething.
And then so they hold him underthe water and he almost
immediately panics and drownsbecause they're distracted by

(36:49):
the sister.
Denise gives him mouth to mouthand spits all over her.
Then Kevin comes in and is likedid it look like we were making
out?
It was like a little bit.
She's like I'm gonna go wipethe vomit off my face.

Speaker 2 (37:07):
So good, golly oh man so good, golly, oh man.

Speaker 1 (37:11):
So, and then we're off to the next training session
.
It's like then he's, he's gonnado speed management g-force so
he's on like one of those, likebanana boards or like whatever
they're like on road skatesboards.
Street luge, street luge,something like that.
Yeah, he's gonna go downhill.
His safe word is Luge skatesports.
Yeah, like a street luge,street luge, something like that
.
Yeah, he's going to go downhill.
His safe word is whiskey.
Sorry, rod, what was that?

(37:32):
Whiskey, kevin?
Don't you mean whiskey Rod?
What, kevin?
You're saying it.
Weird.
Rod Saying what's weird, kevin?
All of it Weird because youhave an H Rod pronouncing the H
Kevin, all of it.
We're pronouncing the H Rod.
Where do you get off, kevin?
I don't get why you're sayingit that way, rod, why I'm saying

(37:54):
what way, kevin?
Forget it, rod, I will.

Speaker 2 (38:03):
I will forget.
It Was this before the SaturdayOutlier, like when Stewie did
it On.

Speaker 1 (38:10):
Family Guy.
I don't know, I don't know.

Speaker 2 (38:12):
It's just like such a classic.
Even I do it like, sometimesrandomly.
It's all from this movie.

Speaker 1 (38:19):
So he goes downhill very fast Immediately, starts
saying Whiskey, whiskey, andthen he crashes into an RV.
Everybody like comes up to him,are you okay, are you okay?
Man comes out super pissedabout to beat everybody off.
Rico, I'm freaking pumped.
I've been drinking green teaall goddamn day.
Then he's beating up the man.

(38:40):
God, I go to church everygoddamn Sunday.
You gonna bring the demons outof me.
Like hits him with a cone.
Everybody's like whoa, he'shitting him with a street cone.
And then like beats him up andhe's like oh no, not the trash.
Dumps trash on him and thenpicks up his hat this is my hat
now.
This is my hat.
Have you ever tried?
Immediate moment.

(39:00):
I love danny mcbride for therest of my life he just keeps
throwing the trash so good.

Speaker 2 (39:07):
Have you ever tried to do that on a skateboard like
go down a big steep hill?
That was way too big and steepno, I was never good at skate.

Speaker 1 (39:14):
Well, I was alright at skateboarding once I learned
it, but I could do an ollie.

Speaker 2 (39:17):
That was as good as my skills got, and I could turn
which turning was hard, I couldnever do an ollie, but I did one
night.
I was feeling highly, overlycourageous, I would say, after
drinking.

Speaker 1 (39:31):
And.

Speaker 2 (39:31):
I got on a skateboard and went down this big steep
hill in Nashville yeah.
And I hurt myself a lot and theskateboard I was riding on.
I fell and it launched up inthe air and broke the window of
my car.
Oh my God, dude, some FinalDestination, shit, I just
happened to fall right next tomy car and the skateboard went

(39:54):
smash through the driver's sidewindow.

Speaker 1 (39:55):
I'm trying to think of like the Final Destination
situation of that it's like okay, you're going downhill, it gets
windy because death is.
In all of a sudden it likeblows a branch, puts a stick in
the road, you flip you land andlike you roll into front of your
car, the skateboard goesthrough your car window and then

(40:18):
, like puts it into drivesomehow and just runs you over
and it knocks, it takes off theparking brake and it just slowly
rolls and crushes me.
Yeah, like crushes your head.
One thing to know Rod in thismovie is definitely not meant to
die by death yet, because thisman cannot be killed.

Speaker 2 (40:35):
This man goes through some stuff.

Speaker 1 (40:37):
So they have a dance party outside a convenience
store.

Speaker 2 (40:42):
I love Kevin's little dance.
I would come here every day tothis place to just watch these
people dance.

Speaker 1 (40:47):
This is definitely an ode to clerks.

Speaker 2 (40:49):
I feel like this whole dance cause this is like
what Jay and Silent Bob do allthe time we see Rod and Denise.

Speaker 1 (40:56):
They're talking.
He's gonna ask her out, but allof a sudden the boyfriend
Jonathan comes up, played byWill.
Arnett turns out.
He's a douche.

Speaker 2 (41:06):
He's a giant douche but it's so funny he gets onto
Will Arnett Turns out he's adouche.
He's a giant douche, yeah, andbut it's so funny he's.

Speaker 1 (41:13):
He gets onto every stereotype of a douchey
boyfriend and I love it so muchWill Arnett Like he's
appreciated now, but it took waytoo long for people to truly
appreciate him.
I feel like Smartless is whatreally did it for him.
Really, because everybody lovesthe podcast Marlis, I don't
really like it that much.
Really.
Did you watch the documentaryon HBO Of that podcast?
Yeah, they did like a live tour.
You should watch it, justbecause it's so fun to see Jason

(41:35):
Bateman and Will Arnett and theguy I'm blinking on like
together, just like their dailyinteractions.
You're like wow.

Speaker 2 (41:42):
That seems fun.

Speaker 1 (41:43):
You guys are so much like the characters you portray.

Speaker 2 (41:45):
Maybe I just need to give it another try, because
I've only listened to like twoepisodes.

Speaker 1 (41:48):
Yeah, I will say I liked the documentary more than
I liked their podcasts.
But also, hey, one celebritysaid podcasts, because leave it
for us, you bitches.

Speaker 2 (42:01):
I'm sorry You'll be in a movie.
Leave some scraps for the restof us Also talking to you, Joe
Rogan.

Speaker 1 (42:09):
I don't like this either.
We'd probably have so many morelisteners if there wasn't for
Smartless and Joe Rogan.
It's all his fault.

Speaker 2 (42:17):
Yeah.
So then Denise was like well,what were you going to ask me?
And he's like so who?

Speaker 1 (42:19):
would win in a fight grilled cheese or a taco?
She's like grilled cheese.
Well, she's like is that reallywhat you going to ask me?
And he's like uh, so who wouldwin in a fight?
Grilled cheese or a taco?
She's like grilled cheese.

Speaker 2 (42:31):
Well, she's like is that really what she wanted to
ask me?
It's like mm-hmm, yep, doubledown.
It's brain.
It's like double down, doubledown.

Speaker 1 (42:37):
And then she says grilled cheese.
But if it's prison rules I'dtake a taco.
It's like well, the game.
Later, rod is working out.
He's upset about Jonathan.
They have dinner with thefamily.
Frank finally feels good enoughto come downstairs and have

(42:58):
dinner with them.
They ask him to promise not tofight.
Rod's like what are you talkingabout?
Kevin might fight him.
Kevin's like I promise not tofight.
He's like fine, I won't fight.
Frankie immediately makes rodlose his temper, makes him so
upset he like walks through thekitchen.
He's like hi you.
He's like I hope you have funbeing married to satan slams.

(43:22):
Oh wait, that's not.
That's not.
That's not this time.
Yeah, that's not the same.
Um, so then we cut to Rodsneaking around in padding and
he's like hiding behind treesand walks out, gets ran over by
like an RV van.
Then him and Denise are out atan outdoor restaurant thing.
I don't know what you callthose things.
It's where they're eating atthe beginning.

(43:43):
It's like a hut, like ahamburger hut or something, yeah
it's like a food standhamburger hut or something.

Speaker 2 (43:48):
Yeah, it's like a like a food stand, something
that like don't exist anymorelike.

Speaker 1 (43:52):
Sonic, I mean, they kind of have that.
Yeah, that's true, but they'relike, smaller, and I feel like
the food probably tastes betterat this place not Sonic.

Speaker 2 (43:59):
Yeah, sonic's been disappointing.

Speaker 1 (44:01):
It's like $10 for a hamburger.

Speaker 2 (44:02):
Come at me.

Speaker 1 (44:03):
Sonic, so yeah, he's sonic.
Um, so yeah, uh, he asked aboutjonathan um and like she's just
saying all these things abouthim.
He's like, oh, he's so mature,he's cool, he's got a job in the
city.
He's like, right, right,totally, you should break up.
Then dave comes to.
Dave comes and sits down thebathroom here is nice no

(44:25):
fireworks in this one.

Speaker 2 (44:27):
Like what are you talking?

Speaker 1 (44:28):
about like, and then it just like cuts and is like
what's in the bathroom, is it?
Because, like, there's justalways like some sort of like
explosive left in there?
The bathroom here is nuts.
It's just like.
Bill Hader is maybe thefunniest person on the planet,
right?
He's really fucking funny, god,I just like I love listening.

(44:49):
If you do listen to Smart List,listen to the Bill Hader
episode.
Okay, any podcast, if it's likean interview podcast or
anything.
If Bill Hader is a guest,listen to it.
He's hilarious.
He's just so good with like Ilove watching his like
impersonations on talk shows andstuff.
They're so good.
So Rod is in love with Denise.

(45:09):
Obviously you got the song IJust Died in your Arms at Night
playing and out of jealousy heasks the cashier at the
restaurant out and she declines,but he tells everybody she said
yes, and makes a double datewith Denise.
It's like why, why?
So he just?

Speaker 2 (45:31):
could look like he got stood up whenever they go on
the date.

Speaker 1 (45:37):
It seems like he was actually thinking that somebody
was going to show or he was justhoping Jonathan wouldn't show,
as well, he just wants her to bejealous.

Speaker 2 (45:46):
I think that's it.

Speaker 1 (45:48):
So at the date his girl doesn't show Jonathan, he
just wants her to be jealous.
That's the whole point.
I think that's it.
So at the date his girl doesn'tshow, jonathan continues to be
a douche in the ultimate way.
Jonathan talks to a friendBecause he sees one of his
friends across the lane.
They're like whoa what, up hegoes and talks before he does
Like you two, don't go fallingin love while I'm away.
It's like damn, it's gonna besmart.

(46:09):
And so they're alone.
And then ross says hey, denise,have I ever shown you a picture
of my dead dad, denise?
No, oh, we've got to see it.
He's super dead.
We learned his dad used to workwith evil kenevil.
He died because the handlebar,uh, and like he would do the
stunts before evil kenevil wouldtry them out, and then decided
to go off on his own so he couldget all the glory.

(46:30):
And then it turns out, when hewent to do this super jump, his
tire exploded and the handlebarswent straight through his face
and there's blood everywhere andit exploded in his head.
He died instantly the next day.
Good, good bit.
So now we're to the next day.
They're gonna raise the money.

(46:51):
Um, you got, it's like amontage, essentially.
You got them putting up flowerflyers, a birthday fire, party
fire stunt.
That goes horribly.
Um barrel, he's stuck in abarrel underwater.
Um, it goes horribly becausethey don't.
They lose the keys.
So rico's gotta shoot thebarrel open in front of all
these kids.
And then, of course, at the endDave's like oh, I found the key

(47:13):
.
He wears some padding and theyhave a dryer.
Hit him off a crane.
And then we see Frank waspainting something and he was
like, while he's showing him themoney, he says it's a painting
of him getting humped by a horse.
And he's saying I'm an idiot.
He's teaching Denise to drivehis little like motorbike thing.

(47:37):
You got kids hitting him with abat.
Denise being really good atdriving the motorcycle Way
better than Rod.
And then kids hitting him evenmore with bats, and then kevin
joins it.
Is it like an even weaker hitthan the kids?
There's definitely someundertones of kevin hating rod a

(47:58):
little bit.
He's like you know what.
This is my one chance to hithim, because he's always so
fucking mean to me he would havedone the same thing yeah for
sure.
Oh damn, I'm getting exhaustednow.
So at an employee employeeretreat, rico blows up rod and
drives away, because he's likestanding on this giant platform,

(48:21):
he's like giving the speech.
And then, like rico's like, doyou say, explode it now?
He's like, no, not now, becauseI guess he's supposed to jump
from the explosion, but insteadhe just explodes him.
But he just so like calmly setsit down, turns around, walks his
way like, drives off as fast ashe, and then you have the guy
that set up the retreat.
He's like you are the worststuntman I've ever seen in my

(48:41):
life and I'm like he just blewup in front of you and survived.
That's a pretty damn goodstuntman.

Speaker 2 (48:48):
Or lucky at least.

Speaker 1 (48:51):
But the whole time, like he says you're a terrible
stuntman.
He's like what, you're aterrible stuntman, what You're a
terrible stuntman, I'm justkidding, it was just really mean
.
So Denise and Rod, they do someTai Chi.
He asked Denise if she knows amove that would make a man crap
his pants and not know why.

(49:11):
She says the move exists, buthe's not ready, so he why does
she know?

Speaker 2 (49:16):
I don't know he's doing Tai Chi.

Speaker 1 (49:18):
I guess he just knows it he pressures her and she
does the move on him and hecraps himself.
He's like I gotta go I sothere's no reason.
You know what?
I would love to learn the move,but it didn't work.
It's going to drive off.
We were in the middle of thewoods, we know there's like a
creepy guy out there fishingsomewhere.
So later he walks in on hisbrother working on something,

(49:48):
and it's it's, it's him workingon editing like a stunt video.
But then he's like he likecloses it down.
And so then like, and he comesin, he's like no, show me what
you're working with.
And he pops up.
It's like two dogs humping.
He's like, oh, that wassomething else, it's for mom,
not for me.

Speaker 2 (50:15):
They get stuck together sometimes, oh God.

Speaker 1 (50:17):
My face hurts and I'm crying.
It's like, was he jerking offthe dog, something?
I don't know.
He's going to be a furry whenhe grows up.
He's got furry vibes, yeah, soit's a video of Rod doing stunts
.
He loves it and says theyshould show it to help raise
money.
So they start handing outflyers and you can see the
theater putting up one nightonly stuntman show.

(50:39):
So they hand out flyers.
Richardson gets the help,starts flinging them at people.

Speaker 2 (50:45):
He essentially throws them at people and then like
wastes.

Speaker 1 (50:48):
Hundreds of flyers and then it starts dancing and I
love it because it'll cut tothe others just handing out
flyers and like in the smallcorner of the background he's
having them just fucking goingbaby Thrust thing.
And then I love it because italso it's kind of a montage
thing.
And then like we cut to Kevinediting on his computer but for

(51:10):
some reason when Richardsonshows up it's already edited and
he's like who the fuck is doingthis?
Is he here, did?

Speaker 2 (51:17):
he do this.

Speaker 1 (51:19):
So it's like I can only assume he snuck into
Kevin's room, edited him in thevideo doing this Richardson, the
best, baby, the best.
So he starts, rod talks tosleeping Frank and he tells him
how well they're doing and thenit's like oh, we're going to do
so well, I'm going to give youthat heart.

(51:39):
Frank starts laughing in hissleep and he's like just wake up
, frank, I know you're awake.
He calls him a pussy in hissleep and that he sucks.
He's know you're awake.
He calls him a pussy in hissleep and that he sucks.
He's like, um, he's like I knowyou're pretending.
He opens his eyes and then sohe gets up, he runs.
He runs through the kitchen,slams the door um, it's like.
He's like um, he says somethingto the wife or the mom and he's

(52:02):
like it's like I hope you lovehim when I murder him.
Slams the door, the glassbreaks.
He says I am genuinely sorry,but he has like the nicest mom.
So I'm sure she just probablyfixed it easily.

Speaker 2 (52:19):
Yeah, yeah.
I love how hard his dad is onhim.
It's so insane.
Got to earn that respect.

Speaker 1 (52:27):
It's the only way.

Speaker 2 (52:28):
You had a stepdad right.

Speaker 1 (52:30):
Is this how it was?

Speaker 2 (52:31):
earn that respect you had a stepdad right is this how
it was, or did you have astepdad, like later?
No, I had a stepdad.
Did you fight him?
He was problematic.

Speaker 1 (52:38):
He used to beat up my older brother oh damn well,
what you didn't know, it was outof respect.
He was trying to get the olderbrother to learn respect that
worked that worked, that workedso well.

Speaker 2 (52:50):
He's in prison teaching other people respect
well, let's get back to laughter.

Speaker 1 (53:01):
Damn, I took a turn.
I'm sorry, I asked a question,just being honest, I I never had
a stepfather, but uh, I didoften fight uncles nice as a
child, because I was intowrestling, almost broke
somebody's neck my uncles are sohuge I never thought about it
yeah, well, it is like I waslike a little kid right and I
remember trying to uh I think Iwas like trying to do a ddt on

(53:24):
one of my uncles and I was onthe counter and they didn't
nobody knew I was on the counter.
I just like jumped off, grabbedhis head and tried to like do
it and he, like he seriouslyhurt his neck and I do remember
like the kind of the likewrestling him, but I don't
remember ever hurting him oranything.
So I probably got the shit beatup.

(53:45):
Just beat those memories rightout of you.
It's like I've definitelyprobably got spanked.

Speaker 2 (53:49):
I don't remember getting spanked.

Speaker 1 (53:51):
But I definitely know I had to get yelled at and my
dad had a great dad yell, oh no,it scared it.
It was like scared the shit outof me.

Speaker 2 (54:03):
Well that's.

Speaker 1 (54:04):
He had a powerful like yelling at your voice.
I've got one of those two thatI.
That comes out only when I getangry Like Snake knows all about
it.
But it's like.
This is why I couldn't be likea dad, because, like I yell at
Snake and I'm like Snake, andthen I'm like heh Coward.
Just because I kind of likelaugh or I'm always just like

(54:24):
that was so silly, how mad Ijust got.
But that's just kind of how Iam Usually when I get mad like
five seconds later I'm like thatwas so stupid of me being so
mad.
Snake knows all about yourright hook too.
Yeah, I gave him a DDT earlierthis morning.

Speaker 2 (54:42):
I gave him a torture rack like Lex Luthor did.

Speaker 1 (54:43):
Oh, so that's what this thing is?
Yeah, no, that's something forme and Natalie, it's not, it's a
.
What do they call this?
Back stretcher, back stretcher.
That's fucking true, inclineback thingy, yeah, whatever, I
don't know.
Anyway, so it's movie night.
Movie starts and peopleimmediately start laughing

(55:05):
Because it's hilarious, becauseit's's just.
But the thing is, like some ofthe stunts he shows, I'm like yo
, like he'd be a great stuntmanfor a movie.
Yeah, like whenever, like theyreally laugh at him, whenever
the opening scene thing, I'mlike dude, that's impressive.

Speaker 2 (55:20):
As fuck when he just rides up on the ramp yeah,
stupid donuts he should havejust leaned into it.

Speaker 1 (55:29):
But like him being on fire, like I won't see anybody
in that room do that.
That's not easy.
Yeah, that's a dope stunt.

Speaker 2 (55:36):
I think they're just laughing.
They're already laughing.
Yeah, just seeing him also onfire.
What's his face?

Speaker 1 (55:42):
that's how intense he is while doing it.
So Rod, super embarrassed, goesup to the projector room, rips
off the projector and throws itout the window.
Those are cheap Instead of justbeing like shut it up, I'm
plugging, it Overreacts.
So and then him and Kevinfights like what'd you do this,
kevin?
You trying to embarrass me?
Kevin's like no.
And so they kind of fight andthe cops show up.

(56:05):
He's like whoa, whoa, whoa.
And then it turns out theprojector went into the
projectionist's car and he hasto give them all the money he
earned, like a total of almost$5,000.
They're $1 short of their$5,000 goal.
He had to give it all up.
So he goes home and his momtalks to him.
She tells him that his fatherwasn't actually a stuntman, he

(56:28):
was a cashier in a tire shop andthat Evel Knievel was just
taking pictures with everybody.
And we learn he died choking ona pie.
I didn't put it in my notes,but a little later he's signing
autographs for kids.
He's like they're like, thankyou.
He's like you're welcome, don'tlet your daddy pie.
And then Rod says he's nolonger a stuntman.

(56:50):
He goes into his room andstarts ripping off all the
stuntman stuff and sadly, herips up his mustache.
No Damn, I actually shed amustache.
Like I shed a mustache here forhim.
Nice For that mustache, so sad.

Speaker 2 (57:06):
I hate my mustache.
Yeah, me too.

Speaker 1 (57:08):
It always sticks out in the front yeah, like, and you
can just like, if you lookmandibles, like, if you look
down at your nose, you just seelike three or four of them and
it's like fuck off hairs, yeahthen, oh, when it starts to curl
around your lip, and then yougo to, you go to trim it and
then it's like you accidentallydid one side a little too high,
so you go to the other side andyou did it higher than the other
side, and it's like what thefuck is happening?

Speaker 2 (57:29):
Now I just have to shave it.
Pencil thin yeah.

Speaker 1 (57:32):
Do some uh, um, what's a John Waters mustache?
So the next day he's acting,all grown up, doing some grocery
shopping.
I don't know if you saw hisgrocery cart is nothing but
liquor and liquids.

Speaker 2 (57:49):
I think he's just at a liquor store at that point.
To be honest, that was thefirst thing I bought when I got
my own apartment Really my firstapartment.
I don't remember I had a caseof Rolling Rock.

Speaker 1 (57:57):
I don't even remember the first alcohol I ever bought
.
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (58:01):
I had no food, no condiments, even it's like oh,
what'd you eat last night?

Speaker 1 (58:07):
A bottle of liquor.
So his friends show up tryingto make him change his mind.
It's rico, dave and denise.
Uh, they're like come on, man,you can do it.
Like, keep trying, you'll beable to get it.
And then he's like no, I'llnever do it again, you guys
should just go on and do yourown thing.
And then, like dave startscrying.
And then, like rico is alsocrying, starts to cry.
It's like I don't even cry,you're to cry.

(58:27):
He's like I don't even cry,you're making me cry.
It's like, yeah, it says who amI supposed to build ramps for?
And then, dave, he's like he,rico walks off.
Dave's like ugly crying and thenhe like kind of just stops and
like it's kind of like halfsmiles and then just like walks
off.
So weird.
Denise tells him she joined theteam because he was doing what

(58:49):
he wanted to do and everybodygrew up to get boring Rod.
You don't get it, do you,denise?
I used to be legit.
In fact I was too legit.
I was too legit to quit.
But now I'm not legit, I'munlegit, and for that reason I
must quit Logic.
I love it.
You can ask my wife.
Wife, I'd love to do the.
Too legit to quit that he doesmaybe when you renew your vows.

Speaker 2 (59:13):
Yeah, you're like natalie you are too legit to
quit oh, yeah.

Speaker 1 (59:17):
And then denise like so I cannot.
Yeah, denise says you don'tmean that.
Rod's like yeah, I do, staysweet, that's a peace sign.

Speaker 2 (59:27):
And then, as he walks away, he gets hit by a car
because he's a stunt man hecan't get away from the stunts
even when he doesn't want to,because that is a lot like final
destination so that night hegets a call from Dave.
So good he asks if he can takehim to the hospital.

Speaker 1 (59:47):
He's so nice and calm .
Hey yeah, oh man, how are youdoing?
I'm good?
It's like, oh yeah, it'd besuper cool if you just like take
me to the hospital.
So he goes over and Dave isjust sitting on like a suitcase.
He's like I'm going to be inthis hospital for a while and
it's still like we haven't seenwhat's in his face yet and like

(01:00:09):
the shadows covering it.
And then he gets in.
He's like, oh hey, what's up,rod?
And there's just a piece ofmetal sticking out, like right
at the side of his eye.
So good, he tells the storyabout what was he doing.
Yeah, it's like so a guy gavehim some acid.
And he's like, hey, I have thisacid but I can't do it.

(01:00:29):
Played by the director Akivafrom Lonely Island.
And he's like, oh fine, I'll doit.

Speaker 2 (01:00:35):
Somebody's got to do it.
He did it and he was walkingand he was skateboarding.

Speaker 1 (01:00:38):
He was high as fuck and he was freaking out, so he
went to go do some grinding.

Speaker 2 (01:00:43):
That's what it was he ?

Speaker 1 (01:00:49):
That's what it was.
He was grinding some metal onacid and it shot into the side
of his eye.
That's incredible.
So, yeah, they take him to thehospital.
Dave gives him this inspiringspeech about him not being a
stuntman anymore, and then hewalks off and he's about to walk
to a trash can because he'slike hospital, they're like no.
And then he walks into thehospital, and, and then he just
immediately lays down.

(01:01:10):
I'm ready, I'm here to behospitalized.
So when he gets back home,kevin is doing karaoke for
stuffed animals.
Then Rod comes in andapologizes and they're like so
we cool, cool beans, cool beans,cool.
So we cool, cool beans, coolBeans, cool, cool Beans, beans,

(01:01:32):
beans Cool, cool beans, coolbeans.
That's such a Lonely Islandshit, though.
Yes, so Lonely Island.
So Kevin tells them that heposted his stunt videos online
and it's been downloaded likeover 100,000 times, and the
local radio station called andthey want to sponsor the jump.
We're back, baby.

Speaker 2 (01:01:54):
I love it whenever the other news, like the big
news station, is like we weregoing to cover this it goes to
this small local AM radiostation.

Speaker 1 (01:02:08):
It's like damn too bad that the news station
couldn't do.
It made a lot more money than50,000, um, but I love that.
It's like oh yeah, we I postedthis video and it was downloaded
a bunch.
I was like I bet that's whatfucking happened to them.
The lonely island crew there'slike whoa, like this is a lot of
downloads, so I like to thinkthat was probably added in I
didn't.

Speaker 2 (01:02:24):
I didn't see their youtube stuff until much later,
after they were already on.
You, gotta watch.

Speaker 1 (01:02:28):
Uh, we like sports, yeah, I've seen sports and we
don't care.
Stork patrol uh, what's the onewhere it's like uh, it's like
them like hooking up with womenand it's like, done like the, we
like sports one?
I don't know, I'll have to lookit up.
Um, so we see the big jumpbeing set up.
We meet.
What's his name?

(01:02:48):
Like Patch Snack, it wassomething where it sounds like a
food snack or something.
It's Chris Parnell.
He is the other half of LazySunday.
He's great.
He's one of the funniest peoplethat you just don't realize is
that funny.
He loves AM radio and thinksthis jump will make him popular

(01:03:10):
again.

Speaker 2 (01:03:11):
I love it when he talks about AM radio.

Speaker 1 (01:03:13):
I bet you loves it and it's like damn FM radio and
TV has ruined everything.
I can show you by this tattoo Ihave.

Speaker 2 (01:03:20):
It's got the classic like.

Speaker 1 (01:03:23):
Calvin like peeing on an FM radio and a TV and it's
like split into two streams.
He's like I like to think thathe just had sex that night and
there was a bit of residue thatmade a stream.
As you can see, there's AMradio a little higher on a
flying carpet.

(01:03:44):
And you wonder why my wifehates this movie.
Yeah, I have no idea I'm solike going through the plot,
trying to figure out oh, this isprobably the, this is probably
the part she'd hate this.

Speaker 2 (01:03:55):
Yeah, it's definitely boys, boys only movie.
In some ways, my wife, yourwife's, exceptional, yeah, how
do you?

Speaker 1 (01:04:04):
like that.
You hear that babe.
Hey, jason, stop hitting on mywife through a podcast, bro.

Speaker 2 (01:04:10):
She doesn't listen, unless you make her so no, she
listens, I'm just kidding.
My wife doesn't.
She thinks I'm stupid.

Speaker 1 (01:04:19):
The battle of the wives, let's make them fight.
Yeah, so he tells Rod he spentthe station's last $15,000 on
this and it has to go well.
And then he starts laughing.
He starts weird laughing andtowards the end of the laugh he
starts like jumping around andthen it cuts away.

Speaker 2 (01:04:38):
It's almost like he could see the future.
It's so good.

Speaker 1 (01:04:42):
So Rod calls Denise and Jonathan answers.
He tells Jonathan to tellDenise about the jump, but he
and he tells him like get apiece of paper and he like
pretends to and he's like justwaving his hand in the air.
And Rod's like are you actuallywriting this down?
Are you doing this thing whereyou just wave your hand in the
air?
Jonathan's like boy, you havean imagination.
Of course I'll tell her so goodway too good.

Speaker 2 (01:05:08):
Um so um, yeah, he's not gonna tell denise, because
denise comes out and he's likewrong number and then the music
gets like do you think ron wouldhave made it a lot further if
he had competent people workingwith him?

Speaker 1 (01:05:24):
he'd probably be a halfway decent stuntman, had one
professional, if his managerwasn't someone that dresses like
a seven-year-old and he'ssupposed to be like 18.
So when Rod gets home, emts arethere.
One of the EMTs say like I giveFrank a week, I give that old
man a week.
The other one's like that'svery insensitive.

(01:05:47):
Rod sits with Frank.
He tells him to hold on for thejump.
Frank tells him he's been hardon him because Rod is going to
have to be the man around thehouse when he's gone.
Seems sweet, but then he sayshe won't respect him until he
beats him in a fight.
He's like I'm going to fuckingkill you, punch his corpse.
Just like all the jokes withFrank and Rod of just like I'm
going to save your life so I cankill you.

(01:06:09):
It's clever, it's so funny,like it seems dumb, but I'm just
like shit, that stuff's good.

Speaker 2 (01:06:18):
Yeah, it's good you have to live so I can prove
myself.

Speaker 1 (01:06:20):
Yeah, you have to live so I can prove myself by
killing you.

Speaker 2 (01:06:25):
I just imagine him like what if he did die?
And then he's just jumps intothe coffin, starts throwing
haymakers on him like groundpounding him.

Speaker 1 (01:06:31):
I would love, like if they just like did this movie
but he did die.
Like, just do it again.

Speaker 2 (01:06:37):
But body slams the corpse.
It's just a montage of himbeating the corpse, yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:06:45):
So it's the next day.
He's doing Tai Chi and a man'swatching him and ends up oiling
him up randomly.
We see everybody getting readyfate is bringing the stunt
together and making it happenand then he then walks the
street and the whole team joins,and then all of a sudden, a

(01:07:07):
bunch of people start joiningthem and they're like wait, what
the fuck is happening?
And then they all start singing.
It's like, uh, you're the voice, is the song?
um you have people literallystopped in the street like
staring off camera, just likesinging like this beautiful
melody, um, and then like uh, itsuddenly all turns into a giant

(01:07:27):
mob of looters.
And then, all of a sudden,there's bagpipes in the street.
You got people flipping carsthough Molotov cocktails in them
.

Speaker 2 (01:07:37):
Someone steals a woman's wheelchair.

Speaker 1 (01:07:43):
And then I love that, like Rod, like they like run
away.
It's like what was that?
Was that because of us?
Did we go in the Rico's?
Like I can't believe it.
You know, it was such apositive thing and then
someone's always got to end upruining it, as he got a TV that
he stole during the living.
Danny, make a fucking bride.
I need to.

(01:08:04):
I need to rewatch.
I can't wait for RochesterJimson.

Speaker 2 (01:08:08):
Hey, that's the.

Speaker 1 (01:08:09):
Sunday account Hell yeah, man, it's like alongside,
I think it's like right beforeWhite Lotus.

Speaker 2 (01:08:15):
I hope they're not both out at the same time Is it
season three.

Speaker 1 (01:08:17):
White Lotus, season three yeah, walter Goggins,
isn't it?
Yeah, it's a double dose ofGoggins.
Yeah, nice Baby.

Speaker 2 (01:08:27):
Billy's Bible Bunkers Baby.

Speaker 1 (01:08:28):
Billy's Bible, baby Billy's Bible, bunkers, uncle
Baby Billy, so good, one of thebest characters ever, babe.

Speaker 2 (01:08:35):
I know he's so good.

Speaker 1 (01:08:37):
And he's so good in White Lotus too.
It's just a completelydifferent type of character.
So Rod's parents watch on TV,but we learned they can only
listen on AM radio.
We have Rod signing autographs.
He asks about Denise and she'snot there.
Though Denise and Jonathan aredriving, and while he's driving

(01:08:57):
he runs over a raccoon.
He's like did you see that?
She's like what the fuck iswrong with you?

Speaker 2 (01:09:03):
He's like I'm going to have to call my friend and
tell him about it.

Speaker 1 (01:09:06):
He's going to love it .
And then Denise he goes in toget some waters.
Denise turns on the AM radioand hears about the jump and
she's like, oh, we got to go.
And like Jonathan's super rudeand says, like you're
embarrassing yourself by hangingout with them.
So she decides to end up withleave.
She just gets in a randomperson's car.
Will Arnett's like babe, wait,babe, babe.

(01:09:28):
So good, one of the funniestthings Will Arnett's ever done.
Just that little scene there.
So while prepping for the jump,his friends give him a legit
stuntman soup and an actual dirtbag.
And we learn Rico rigged thejump with explosives.
It's like oh, it's all going toactually work and, like you know
, you're expecting everything towork.
Yeah, it's going to actuallywork.
You're expecting everything towork.

(01:09:49):
It's going to be great.
Little spoiler alert Not asingle stunt in this movie has
worked so far.
We'll see what happens a littlelater.
It's jump time.
You've got this awesome band.
Rod comes out looking badass andis really good on the dirt bike
.
He's a little like whoa, it's alittle fast.
He's a little bit moreimpressive.
It's a little fast, it's alittle bit more impressive.
And then he's like doing donuts.

(01:10:10):
Dave's like.
He's doing circles.
He gives a speech and then heends it with who wants to see me
do a big ass stunt?
Frank, I'm going to get youbetter.
You old sack of shit.
It's so good.
He is about to jump and readieshimself as Denise shows up.

(01:10:30):
He's unsure of the jump.
She gives him confidence andkisses him.
Yay, the first kiss does not gowell because she like opens her
mouth as wide as possible andhe's like whoa whoa, whoa, whoa,
you're all like bleh.
So they do it again for realthough, kiss, and it's sweet and
we're all happy andeverything's gonna work out.
So you just go with it.
Yeah, first time, but I love itcause, like Dave's, like oh

(01:10:54):
gross he's kissing his sisterhe's like that's not his sister,
he's like whoa.

Speaker 2 (01:11:00):
That shatters my entire universe that's a fucking
oh, that's so good.
Hasn't he known him his whole?

Speaker 1 (01:11:08):
life basically, yeah, see, they just grew up on the
same street they spend all theirtime together All their time.
It's like do you think it wouldcome up?
You know?
So jump time for real.
Now he is at the ramp and callson all the animals An eagle,
fox, ball-nosed dolphin, octopus, house cat.

(01:11:30):
Hey, house cats are important.
They're nimble, they are nimble, they cannot get hurt when
falling and they love knockingshit down.
Hell, yeah, my cat's prettygood at not knocking shit down.
They really don't.
They walk around everything ontables.

Speaker 2 (01:11:44):
Sabrina, that's her favorite thing.

Speaker 1 (01:11:47):
Yeah, that sucks, though I will say John Ralphio,
one of our cats that's missingan eye, don't be suspicious,
don't get me suspicious.
That's pretty much what he doeswhen he gets on my wife's side
Little nightstand and constantlyknocks over her water.
Does he wear an eye patch?
No, because how cool would thatbe?
That would be great.
It's actually.
It's terrible because my dogSnake, right next to me, which

(01:12:09):
y'all may have heard bark acouple times in that episode I
called him Snake for SnakePlissken, who wears an eye patch
.
He has both eyes.
Ironically, he acts more likeJohn Ralphio the character.
And my other cat definitely acts.
You know it's a cat, so he's alittle bit cooler than a dog and
has only one eye.
So it'd be way better if wenamed that cat Snake and then

(01:12:32):
this dog.

Speaker 2 (01:12:33):
John Ralphio.
I thought you named him Snakebecause of the video game
character Snake.
No no, because he's sneaky.
But.

Speaker 1 (01:12:39):
Metal Gear Solid is.

Speaker 2 (01:12:40):
Snake.

Speaker 1 (01:12:40):
Yes, metal Gear Solid .
He is named after Nick Poliskin.
Because what's his name?
Kojima is loved Western moviesand stuff.
Isn't that special, okay, well,I'll just get back to it,
that's very interesting, so he'sgetting ready to jump.

(01:13:01):
The donations are coming in.
They get to like $3,400 or$3,500, and they only need
$15,000 more.

Speaker 2 (01:13:08):
They're all just waiting to see how this jump
goes.

Speaker 1 (01:13:10):
I guess they're just going to give this old man a
heart.
I mean, come on, if you'realready donating, just donate.
So Rod's going to jump thisjunk.
He goes for the jump and looksto be making it and gives a
thumbs up and it's like all slowmotion Thumbs up all his
friends, then it like zooms outand while he thumbs up he like
let go of the bike completelyand it flies away from him and

(01:13:32):
he crash lands really hard andhe slides across the pavement.

Speaker 2 (01:13:38):
Looked amazing, looked great, it's like they
definitely like, spent most oftheir budget on that scene.
I think I love a good slide,especially like in a zombie
movie, where you get thrown outof a car.
Yeah, slide across the pavement, leaving a giant trail of blood
, yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:13:52):
I do love.
I do love slides.
Slides are super slick, Like aface slide.
Yeah, so his crew run to hisside.
But then Dave's like oh man, Ibet he's having like an outer
body experience.
Turns out he is.
He's watching a grilled cheeseand taco fight.
At the top of his life.

(01:14:12):
Yeah, grilled cheese is winning.
And then it kind of cuts himlike being resuscitated in the
taco.
Then it cuts to the taco,beating the shit out of the
grilled cheese in the chair.
Prison rules, no.
And then he wakes up.
And when he wakes up he's likeoh, hoobastink, like who the
fuck comes up with like.
Hoobastink at the end, god damn.

Speaker 2 (01:14:34):
So I think I shamefully saw Hoobastink yeah
In concert on that show Bro.

Speaker 1 (01:14:38):
like Hoobastink has like a couple of dope songs.
I have no shame in likingshitty 90 bands.

Speaker 2 (01:14:45):
They were just like there at the concert I was at
and I was like what am I doinghere?

Speaker 1 (01:14:50):
People are like they're not even supposed to
play.
Who was saying to shows up?
Sometimes so he's wanting tostand up.
They're all like I'm prettysure you have internal bleeding
and all your bones are broken.
He's like life is pain.
The crowd's cheering him,trying to get him to stand.
The crowd's cheering him tryingto get him to stand.
The donations start coming backin.
He finally is able to get upand standing.

(01:15:12):
They're walking, they let go ofhim and it reached $50,000.
Everybody cheers, Even EbenezerScrooge is there cheering
Cooked goose for everybody.
And then it's our second moviein a row that blacks out and
cuts to six months later.
Just like Final Destination,this movie is final destination
if death sucked at his job, ifdeath just couldn't get this one

(01:15:36):
guy.
Yeah, this one guy, this isunkillable for, like the rest,
the rest of time, as long as rodlives, it's like damn.
Nobody's died in years.
It's like death is just sopreoccupied with Rod.
He's got other stuff going on.
Rod's house is just on fire,he's sleeping, he's like, and
all of a sudden it just startsraining.

(01:15:56):
Rod's death's like God damn it.
So yeah, six months later, rodis gearing up for a fight.
He even almost has an actualmustache.
Kevin tells him Frank's heartis even stronger.
He's like it doesn't matter.

Speaker 2 (01:16:15):
I can do it, that's a quick recovery, it seems like
Six months.

Speaker 1 (01:16:18):
Yeah, For a heart transplant.

Speaker 2 (01:16:20):
That's pretty major.
Yeah, I feel like he'd belonger.

Speaker 1 (01:16:24):
I don't know.
I would think that even thoughyou got a new heart, you still
aren't supposed to get excited.

Speaker 2 (01:16:27):
He just becomes a doctor so he can help him heal
faster, so he can kick his assagain that would be a great
little deleted scene.

Speaker 1 (01:16:35):
Yeah, the deleted scene is the six months between
the jump and this, that's a goodidea.
That's a good idea for a sequelthough, so Frank surprises him,
and they fight.

Speaker 2 (01:16:47):
I'm doing this because I love you.

Speaker 1 (01:16:50):
Frank throws a throwing star at him.
I love the escalation of thesefights.
The battle is pretty evenlymatched.
Yeah, this go around.
He's grown a lot.
He's able to do his ultimatepunch actually, and I love it
because they break through thehouse outside where they're
having a cookout Everybody'sseen in the movie at this point

(01:17:11):
is there.
They're all just like holy shit,this is awesome, would be
awesome.
Except, like Chris Farnell'scharacter, he's like should we
stop this?
Like, oh no, they do this, justa little spat.
And so Rod, yeah.
So then they break throughtheir neighbor's fence and Rod
has him and he's got his armbehind his back and he's like do

(01:17:32):
you give, call me a man.
He's like you're a man.
Say it again.
Turns around you're a man,you're a man.
And then he does the.

Speaker 2 (01:17:40):
Make him poop his pants punch yeah, and he does it
and he's like yeah, he's likeyou gotta be kidding me freeze
frame end.

Speaker 1 (01:17:45):
You gotta be kidding me Freeze frame, end of movie,
except there's end credits.

Speaker 2 (01:17:49):
Oh man, I did not watch the end credits.

Speaker 1 (01:17:51):
The credits come through and then you just see
it's like this beautiful shot ofhim in a field with his little
moped bike thing and he justbows to it.
A happy ending, and that's theend.
That's beautiful, that'sgorgeous.

Speaker 2 (01:18:02):
He is still yet to land a stunt.

Speaker 1 (01:18:04):
Flanders start and that's Hot Rod baby.
We're going to cut to ourcategories the good, the bad,
the ugly, the fine.
That's where we discuss thegood of the film Something we
like the bad, something wedidn't like.
The ugly, something that didn'tage well.
The fine, something that didage well.
What's the good bud?

Speaker 2 (01:18:20):
Nothing.
I hated this movie so much.

Speaker 1 (01:18:23):
I don't know it was.
I'd say the best part of it wasjust all these, uh, these,
comedians that's what I put theactors and comedians yeah,
they're just kicking so much assyeah, they, they're just like
they're all young so they're alljust like doing like something,
like it's like one of theirfirst movies for all of them and

(01:18:46):
they're just all just crushing.
They just it's like everythingthey thought of was their
younger kids.

Speaker 2 (01:18:52):
They brought it for here like you can imagine them
having bottle rocket fightsbefore it takes.
Yeah, exactly, bottle rocketfights, bro.

Speaker 1 (01:19:02):
I used to have firework fights.
I do not understand.
We did it at like fourth ofjuly cookouts with like yeah,
all the kids would fight withfireworks and like the parents
are just grilling out andgetting drunk.

Speaker 2 (01:19:13):
They're just like this is fine, yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:19:15):
This is fun.
Guess what I would never do asa kid, as an adult with a kid
Throw fireworks.
Let them touch a fuckingfirework, yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:19:23):
After almost blowing my fingers off many times.
Yeah, dude, almost blowing myfingers off many times.
Yeah, dude, we would.
Just, we would get like 50yards apart, we'd have our
bottle rockets and our lightersor light sticks and we just lob
them into the air and try to getthem to shoot down in their
direction and hit them that wayyeah, or like set them on the
ground and have a rocketstraight toward them.
We never actually hit eachother.
Yeah, I don't know how we nevergot damaged I do remember.

Speaker 1 (01:19:45):
it's like, it's like one of the few memories of a
firework fight and I had abottle rocket just pop like
right next to my ear.
I remember I could not hear forlike an hour or two out of the
ear.

Speaker 2 (01:19:57):
That sucks.

Speaker 1 (01:19:58):
I was like Mom, mom, they're like just sit down.

Speaker 2 (01:20:01):
Why are you even out there?

Speaker 1 (01:20:02):
You're too young to play this.
I'm like that's not theappropriate response.
The response is we stopped thewhole firework fight because
this is insane that anybody'sdoing it.

Speaker 2 (01:20:10):
Well, we had rules, though, like Roman candles were
not allowed because they werejust like too accurate and
they're balls of fire.

Speaker 1 (01:20:18):
Yeah, they continue to burn after they hit you,
that's true, I just rememberbeing like at that party and
just like there's smokeeverywhere.

Speaker 2 (01:20:29):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:20:29):
Kids running, kids running running.
I was like this is fucking war.
God dang.
Burgers taste like even smoke.
Steven spielberg should befucking directing this shit.

Speaker 2 (01:20:39):
I would be badass yeah man.

Speaker 1 (01:20:43):
Um so, uh, mine was the actors and uh also, just a
great idea for a movie.
Some man who bad at stunts yes,great idea.
Usually anything.
If it's a professional sport orsomething and everybody in it's
bad at it, it's always primefor comedy.

Speaker 2 (01:20:59):
It doesn't work that way with like a job like
accounting, though, oh, I wouldsay yeah, yeah, yeah, it's
actually, you're an accountant,it's actually funnier if
everybody's really good ataccounting and they're all just
nerds.

Speaker 1 (01:21:10):
Like in Parson Rex when Adam Scott's character,
like all of them think he's sofunny, so good.
So I'm just going to go aheadand tell you like I don't find
anything bad about this movie.
I think it's solid.
It's you laugh from the startto the end.

Speaker 2 (01:21:25):
You know what.
One of the guys I liked theleast was the Richardson guy,
the guy that just dancedsometimes Because I don't know
it was, just it really didn'tDidn't find it funny, didn't
find it.
It was pretty funny.
But, like I don't know, there'sa couple times when he's
handing out flyers when healmost forgets that he's
supposed to stop and dance and Iwas like huh, so weird.

(01:21:51):
But I also used to get in a lotof trouble with women for
vulgar thrusting a lot.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
So maybe I just never don'tknow what I'm talking about.

Speaker 1 (01:22:00):
Hey guess what, bro?
For multiple reasons in thatdiscussion, you're off the
podcast.
Um yeah, I was just kidding atthe beginning when I said, like,
who's your favorite character,and why is it Richardson?
I find it like I don't know.
I think it's funny.
It was pretty funny.

Speaker 2 (01:22:19):
It wasn't as funny.

Speaker 1 (01:22:20):
It's the flyer shit that got me.
Every time he just like hegrabs the flyers, just throws
them at people and it's like helike pitches them like a
baseball yeah.
That old lady's face so good.
So what do you got for the ugly?
Something in age will.

Speaker 2 (01:22:35):
The.
I still have some of those armyt-shirts that Frank was wearing
and that I need to get rid ofthem.

Speaker 1 (01:22:43):
I'm not going to lie, like I I've, like, you know,
like the, the, like dark greenor like greenish Brown, like
something like army people wouldwear under their like, I guess,
gear or whatever.
Like I had one I don't rememberwhere I got it, but like it was
so itchy and uncomfortable butit was my favorite shirt, cause

(01:23:05):
like once you got over theinitial initial, like itch and
like discomfort of it is thislike it was warm, it was great
yeah, they're durable shirts.
It looked good on me.

Speaker 2 (01:23:14):
I was like damn that's what all the soldiers do
I join the army now.

Speaker 1 (01:23:18):
Like this looks good on jesse.
I love wearing this.
I was like ah, which tour didyou get off of?
Like I'll tell you the touryou're gonna get.
Never said that once in my life.

Speaker 2 (01:23:28):
Worst part about those shirts, though, is the
gray ones.
Are the ones you wear for PT,right?
They just show sweat so easily.

Speaker 1 (01:23:35):
Yeah, that's because they need to see how miserable
you are Sweaty and gross.
They want to make sure thatthey're getting all the joy out
of you.
Yeah, that's true For the ugly.
For me, I said where the hellare all the comedies like?

Speaker 2 (01:23:51):
this there's not many Lonely Island.
There's only one Lonely Islandtroupe.

Speaker 1 (01:23:54):
It's just like I put like where are the comedy movies
?
It's all TV.
Like comedy is only on TV nowyou get like maybe one or two a
year that like actually likeresonate and like make it into
the ether, where, like, peopleare like, oh, I've heard about
this comedy, it's so good, it'slike otherwise it's just like.
Oh, that classic comedydirector that also now does like

(01:24:15):
like funny movies, but they'remore serious, you know like, um,
uh, stepbrother's director I'mblanking on his name he ended up
doing like don't, don't look up, and stuff like that.
It's like like where'd we go?
Where do I?

Speaker 2 (01:24:28):
go.
Maybe we're just waiting onanother crew, like an all star
crew of Saturday Night Live, tocome around.

Speaker 1 (01:24:35):
Well, it's just like movie quality funny people.
Every comedy now has to be likesuper sincere, like by the end
and whatever.
Like by the end, just like ohwell, you're also supposed to
like love these characters somuch that we're going to try to
make you cry at the end.

Speaker 2 (01:24:48):
It's like no, just fucking jump off stuff and fall
all the time.

Speaker 1 (01:24:54):
Like did everybody just lose that part of their
like funny bone where it's justlike no, this is too silly.
It's like everybody lighten upa little bit.
You got to laugh at this stuff.
You're gonna keep looking atthe news and want to blow your
brains out, but anyways, um, thefine for me is a goofy off the
wall comedies, obviously becauseit sucks that we don't have
enough of them I just I love theidea of stunts people being in

(01:25:17):
like stuntman and becausethere's a I mean, there was.

Speaker 2 (01:25:22):
What was that movie that just came out like the
rom-com about the stuntman?

Speaker 1 (01:25:25):
oh, the fall guy, the fall guy like.
A very funny movie.

Speaker 2 (01:25:29):
I haven't even seen it yet, but it's such a fun
concept.

Speaker 1 (01:25:33):
You should watch it.
It's on Peacock.
Yeah, your wife would love ittoo.
I bet she doesn't like rom-comseither.
It's not really a rom-com.
It's just kind of like anaction comedy with some romance
in it.
It's not like overly romantic.
Your wife doesn't like rom-coms.

Speaker 2 (01:25:48):
No, not really.
She likes more of likepsychological thrillers.

Speaker 1 (01:25:54):
I can't say the word thriller.
I'm not going to lie.
Those are probably my favoritemovies too, which is why I'm
probably going to do one on ourtwo-year anniversary, or I
thought about redoing the thing,yeah, just because you were
sick during it.
It's kind of low energy.
It's like one of my favoritemovies ever.
Yeah, I love the movies on that,and then I was also low energy,
Probably put Dakota, maybe evenNatalie, but we'll see.

(01:26:19):
Maybe we'll do two movies thatweek for the fun.
So that is that category.
Now we're going to do doublefeature.
Where it's we recommend a moviealongside this movie.
Did you got anything?

Speaker 2 (01:26:31):
my guy.
Oh, I was thinking I've neverseen Tropic Thunder all the way
through, so maybe you haven't.

Speaker 1 (01:26:37):
I've seen parts of it .
Oh my God, I don't think I ownit.

Speaker 2 (01:26:42):
But I'd let you borrow it if.

Speaker 1 (01:26:43):
I did it's got to be that's like one of the funniest
movies ever made.
Yeah, you know, actuallytalking about like how I'm like
I wish there were like moremovies like a hot rod and like
Tropic Thunder, movies like that.

Speaker 2 (01:26:56):
It's just all the same characters.

Speaker 1 (01:26:58):
I feel like the last like, truly like, funny, goofy
comedy we got was actuallyPopstar, the movie that has Andy
Samberg and all that I'm like.
After thinking about that, I'mlike when was the last time a
movie like that has been intheaters?
Andy Samberg is a fuckingkiller.
He's great.
Speaking of Andy Samberg, themovie I recommend is Palm
Springs.
I don't think I've seen thatone.

(01:27:19):
Oh, you haven't.
It's so funny.
It's like Groundhog's Day, butvery funny.
So it's like Niles and Sarahfind themselves stuck in a time
loop and living the same dayover and over again.
They are drawn to each other,but certain revelations threaten
their budding romance.
It's so good it came out, Ithink 2020, like mid-pandemic.
So it was like and that year Iremember when I saw it and it

(01:27:42):
was like over halfway throughthe year, I was like, wow, so
far, this is my runner up forbest picture.
It's so good.
It's got Andy Samberg, ofcourse, and Kristen Milito I
don't know, she's in the Penguin, she's in that.
Jk Simmons is in it, PeterGallagher Come on man.

Speaker 2 (01:28:03):
You know, what else I would like to look into
sometimes talking about on herewould be something from the
Broken Lizard.
Is it Broken Lizard?
Yeah, club Dread, we're goingto do that.
Well, yeah, club Dread isreally super troopers.
Super troopers also Super silly, but Club Dread is fucking

(01:28:24):
hilarious.
Yeah Pee in the loop.

Speaker 1 (01:28:26):
Well, maybe after we can do one of those, after the
next movie we're going to do,because we're going to change
things up a little bit.
We've been doing horror movies,we've been doing comedies, so
now we're going to do Well, it'sessentially a horror movie, but
we haven't talked aboutmonsters in a while.
So we're going to talk about adamn monster I love a good

(01:28:55):
monster Because we are going todo we're going to do the Monster
Mash, because we're going to doa movie directed by Bong
Joon-ho called the Host.

Speaker 2 (01:29:01):
It's a damn monster movie and it's all about
polluting our waters and shit,and there's a really gross
picture of a worm crawling outof someone's nose on the cover.
Nope, nope, different movie,different movie.

Speaker 1 (01:29:14):
It's also in a foreign language.

Speaker 2 (01:29:16):
You're supposed to back me up.

Speaker 1 (01:29:18):
I hope you got the right movie.
Say, a monster emerges fromSeoul's Han River and begins
attacking people.
One victim's loving family doeswhat it can to rescue her from
its clutches.
It's great.
I loved it.
It's got one of like the best.
Like monster reveals, like justthe initial chaos when the
monster comes out and likeeverybody's like what the fuck?

(01:29:40):
It's badass.
