Yeah, they're kind of scary.
Well, we used to have them allthe time around, like people

The captain being at bed bath and constantly doing
tlc references.

Speaker 1 (01:10):
Oh, he's the best desk pop.
That's the wooden gun.
Uh dirty, uh dirty, mike andthe boys.

Speaker 2 (01:13):
Yes, dirty mike and the boys.
I feel like that is this, thismovie's greatest accomplishment.

Speaker 1 (01:17):
Yeah, it's, it's.
This is like a movie like some.
For some reason I'd like watchat the beginning of the year a
lot.
I don't know.
I guess I just like, hey, Iwant that pick me up.
But also I want at the end torealize that greed is real and
it comes in.

Speaker 2 (01:33):
Yes, christmas Everybody greedy wins Mostly.
Yeah, I had never watched thepost credit stuff before.

Speaker 1 (01:41):
Yeah, holy shit you never watched like the financial
stuff about the bailouts.

Speaker 2 (01:45):
Yeah god damn, it was fun yeah, but also terrifying
that's right.
Have you seen the big short?
That's his next movie, so you?

Speaker 1 (01:54):

It's a great movie that makesyou feel like shit oh nice it's
so funny.
I remember me and nataliewatched that and then we we had
to go to the store afterwardsand we're like fuck everything,
I hate everything.

Speaker 2 (02:10):
It hurts, it hurts, that's wonderful.

Speaker 1 (02:12):
Man, mark Wahlberg, right, Probably.
If you just think about MarkWahlberg, you think, oh, he's
like the shorter actor thatalways plays a tough guy,
usually like overly aggressive.
No way, he's probably like afunny guy, like a little Matt
Damon.
Yeah, but turns out the guy hassome freaking comedy acting

(02:32):
chops.
Because I read that they wereworried Mark Wahlberg was not
going to be good at the improv,because a lot of Adam McKay
movies are improv.
Like, most of the dialogue isimprov in his movies and they
just keep rolling until theyfinally I think we got enough
funny stuff and they're worriedthat Mark Wahlberg wouldn't be

(02:53):
great at good at it.
And turns out he was reallygood.

Speaker 2 (02:56):
Do you think it was because he was with Will Ferrell
?

Speaker 1 (02:58):
I think that helps.
I think, if you're with one ofthe funniest, so well, just like
everybody in the movies.
With one of the funniest, sowell, just like everybody in the
movies.
Steve Coogan, hilarious RobRiggle, whichever Wayne's
brother that is, which one is it?
Is it Damon?
It's one of them.
I don't know any of their namesor their faces.
Damon Wayans Jr.
Yeah, yeah, they're just all sofunny.

(03:20):
Rob Riggle, like that's the heplays Martin, he's, he's the guy
that hangs out with DamonWayans in the movie.
Yeah, he's so good, he's alwaysso good in everything, like in
Step Brothers.

Speaker 2 (03:33):
Yeah, he's almost always like the funny asshole.

Speaker 1 (03:36):
Yeah, the funny yelling guy and he crushes it
every time.

Speaker 2 (03:42):
His face is just like .
He's got this snivelly sneerface that just like.
Oh, I want to be mad at you,but you're adorable, I know you.

Speaker 1 (03:51):
I know you beat people up in your spare time but
it's hilarious.

Speaker 2 (03:55):
Yeah, I can watch you beat people up.

Speaker 1 (03:58):
I think truthfully, the biggest laughs are Mark
Warburg, mark Warburg get ready.

Speaker 2 (04:03):
It's a whole podcast of, or Mark.

Speaker 1 (04:04):
Warburg, mark Warburg , get ready.
It's a whole podcast of medoing Mark Warburg Apparently
Mark Warburg.
And oh my gosh, am I just goingto blink on everybody?
Michael Keaton, michael Keaton.

Speaker 2 (04:18):
So funny.

Speaker 1 (04:21):
Quit shaking your dicks Pissing contest over.
Is that the bad bathroom?
Yes, it's like, yeah, there's acell on this.
Quit shaking your dicks pissingcontest over.
He's at the bed bath in beyond.
It's like, yeah, there's a cellon this and there's an uptick
on rapists oh wait, that's myother job, that's my other job.
Oh, dude, in the freaking umwhisper fight at the funeral,

(04:41):
everybody stop it right now.
Oh, it's just banger afterbanger.
This is, like some of the Idon't know, it's probably my
favorite.
I don't know, I probably likethis movie more than anchorman
yeah, it might be because I'veseen anchorman so many times, I
don't find it funny anymore Itotally forgot about the
beginning, the opening scene ofthis movie.

Speaker 2 (05:04):
It's so wild.
Everybody has machine guns.
Yeah, for a quarter pound aweek.

Speaker 1 (05:10):
And they use a bus to throw a car.

Speaker 2 (05:14):
Oh, oh.
It's like you know what.

Speaker 1 (05:17):
We used to make things in this country.

Speaker 2 (05:18):
Thanks.

Speaker 1 (05:21):
It's all because of you greedy corporations that we
don't get movies like thisanymore.
For real, though.
For real, because you took AdamMcKay from us.
All he does is politicalcomedies.
Now, sure, because he did.
Let's just go into Adam McKay alittle bit.
Let's check out his trackrecord.
Oh no, so he started directingsome stuff in Saturday Night

(05:44):
Live, and he did Anchorman andthen Talladega Nights, and then
he did a lot of the what was it?
They're like Comedy Centralthings, funny or Die.
Oh yes, Like the landlord stuffwhere, like the little kid With
the beer can yeah, and like thelittle girl, so funny Step
Brothers.
He directed some.

(06:05):
I think he produced Eastboundand Down, no shit.
Then he did the other guys.
That show was so good.
Yeah, I know we watched it acouple years ago, anchorman 2,
the Legend Continues.
There was a lot.
It's fun.

Speaker 2 (06:18):
It's too long, it's fun.

Speaker 1 (06:19):
The Big Short he executive produced Succession.
Then short, he produced,started, he executive produced
succession.
Then he did vice, which iswhere people were like what are
we doing here?
I like vice.
I thought it was funny.
I think it's because this iswhere he starts getting a lot of
oscar attention and people justeven I don't know some people
just turn like if they don'tthink like your movies get

(06:40):
enough to be nominated for anoscar, that's when people are
like his movies suck now andit's like dude, chill out.
Vice was fine.
We had worse has to win anoscar.
We had worse oscar likenominees.
I mean it doesn't matterwhatever was gonna get nominated
for in place of vice or don'tlook up was never gonna win
anyways.
So why are we so upset?

(07:01):
Don't look up was pretty cool.
I enjoyed it.
I thought it was Like.
I think it's probably like oneof my least favorite of his
films.
But yeah, when I like all yourmovies, it's kind of easy.
I actually think Anchormanmight be my least favorite.
Anchorman 2 might be my leastfavorite of his movies.

Speaker 2 (07:18):
And then Anchorman, and then.

Speaker 1 (07:25):
Well, no, I think Anchorman's probably like I
don't know.
I like the other guys better.
I like Talladega Nights, betterI mean they're funny.

Speaker 2 (07:30):
They're funny as hell .
It's like when people used toget away with making movies like
, um, just bad comedy moviesthat everyone just had to love
yeah, everybody loves it.

Speaker 1 (07:42):
So you ever watch Meatballs.
Yeah, horrible.
I remember going back watchingall these like great comedies
like you hear, like adultstalking about, and they always
come on like comedy central andthen you watch them.
You're like this is problematic, was there?
Was there comedy?

Speaker 2 (07:58):
in this movie.
No, it's just boys wanting tolook at naked girls.

Speaker 1 (08:02):
That's it I feel like a lot of comedies back in the
day.
I'd be like see that person.
He did the tiniest little thingand isn't that funny?
No, not really.
But then throw Bill Murray init and make him crack five jokes
and it's like oh yeah, that'sright.

Speaker 2 (08:16):
Comedy gold yeah, it's funny.

Speaker 1 (08:18):
Writes itself.
It's the All right.
So, speaking of Anchorman,right, there was a star in this
movie that wanted to be in thisfilm because how much she loved
Anchorman.
So apparently Eva Mendes is asuper fan of Anchorman and loves

(08:38):
Adam McKay.
She's so plain, yeah, she's soplain.
What a plain-looking girl.
In an interview with the AFI,eva Mendes was asked what her
favorite movie ever was.
Instead of giving a typicalanswer like Citizen Kane or the
Bicycle Thief, mendes saidAnchorman.
Apparently, she quotes it daily.
So when she was offered thechance to work with Adam McKay
on the Other Guy, she jumped atthe opportunity.

(08:59):
Mendes joked that for her,getting the chance to work with
McKay was as exciting as mostactors getting the chance to
work with Martin Scorsese.
All right, and that's great.
You know what I wish they didGave her more to do.
Yeah, no, I mean, she crusheseverything she's in.

Speaker 2 (09:15):
Yeah, some of the best parts, especially the
grandma stuff, I'm going tobreak your hip.

Speaker 1 (09:22):
Yeah, I'm going to break your hip.
Yeah, I'm going to do yougrandpa style.
Please stop making me say thesethings.
Yes, what a mom, though.
So I guess this movie came tobe just from, like, someone
suggesting something.
So Adam McKay has said that theother guys came out about

(09:47):
essentially by accident.
He had dinner with Will Ferrelland Mark Wahlberg and realized
the two actors shared impeccablechemistry that could carry a
movie.
He emailed producer KevinMessick about pairing them up in
a movie and gave a buddy copmovie as a flippant suggestion
for what might work.
Messick loved the idea and gotMcKay to work on a Farrell slash
, wahlberg cop movie.

Speaker 2 (10:06):
Where do you think they had that dinner, like Dave
and Buster's?

Speaker 1 (10:12):
Probably like a restaurant where you know it was
$1,000 an entree, I don't know.
Or Wahlbergers.
I don't know If I was to belike, yeah, I want to to.
I got to have a businessmeeting with Mark Wahlberg.
I feel like you're just meetingme at this location.
He shows up, it's a Wahlbergers.
I'm like, yeah, you didn'tthink.

Speaker 2 (10:31):
You didn't think you're going to get away with it
this time, did you?
Well, you mean a Whataburger.

Speaker 1 (10:38):
No, wahlbergers.

Speaker 2 (10:40):
He has his own chain, he has his own restaurant.

Speaker 1 (10:42):
He has his own chain.
He has his own restaurant, hehas his own burger chain.
Oh, you've never heard ofWahlberg?
No, there was even like a.
I think it only had DonnieWahlberg in it, but there was a
I think it was on E a realityshow about Wahlbergers, or just
about the Wahlbergs I don't know, that's fun.

Speaker 2 (10:59):
I mean you just show up and like be a server for a
little while, or like a cook, soyou know.

Speaker 1 (11:06):
Mark Wahlberg is like hey, how's it going?
What do you want?
Oh, you want a Wahlberger.
All right, Say hello to yourmother, for me Classic.
Did you ever watch the SNL skitwith Jesse Eisenberg playing
Mark Wahlberg?
I don't know.
Oh my gosh, you should.

Speaker 2 (11:24):
He's just at like a petting zoo and he just does
that.

Speaker 1 (11:25):
Hey, so you're a chicken.

Speaker 2 (11:28):
I think that's pretty cool.

Speaker 1 (11:29):
Then he just sits there for a second while the
chicken's, like Well, say helloto your mother.
For me, he walks like a fewsteps.
Oh, hey, goat, what you doing,goat?
Well, say hello to your mother,for me it you doing.
Coe Well say hello to yourmother.
For me it's funny Perfectreenactment.
I did it too long.

Speaker 2 (11:47):
What other animals did he talk to?
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (11:51):
He did like four animals and it was great every
time.
So apparently the scriptsparked a bidding war before it
was even written.
When Adam McKay and WillFerrell first started pitching
Talladega Nights, all they hadwas Will Ferrell as a NASCAR
race driver.
Oh, and it still sparked abidding war among the studios.
The pitch for the other guyswas simply Will Ferrell and Mark
Wahlberg as mismatched cops,and that similarly sparked a

(12:14):
bidding war between the studios.
The perks of being an A-listerWow, another one.
Samuel L Jackson's role wasoriginally written by the bald
Michael Chiklis, and he's thebaldest man you've ever seen.

Speaker 2 (12:28):
Whoa, he's from the Shield.

Speaker 1 (12:31):
Oh, the Shield, yeah that guy, I don't know when I
look at that guy.
I just feel like he should putsome pants on his head.

Speaker 2 (12:38):
He was born bald.
He was like you know what.
I'm fine with this.

Speaker 1 (12:42):
And similar to my Prius, the Prius in the movie
the STEM team put a racingengine in it.
Wow yeah, so that it, would youknow, be able to go fast.

Speaker 2 (12:54):
But don't they film all of these car stuff?
They film it so slow.

Speaker 1 (13:01):
Not as much that technology has gotten to the
point where they can kind of youknow when it's coming with the
trains coming at you.
It's all like rings and stuff.
It's gonna hit us yeah let's see, I think that might be it.
Dirty Mike is played by thedirector, adam McKay.
Oh wow, nice.

(13:22):
And let's see, the tuna versuslion debate was improvised, so
one of the most unusual butundeniably hysterical tangents
that the other guys takes is aheated conversation between Alan
and Terry about who would eatwhom in an animal kingdom if
Alan was a tuna and Terry was alion.
According to Will Ferrell, thiswhole debate was ad libbed

(13:43):
during a long filming day.
Ferrell said that most comedydirectors would have cut the
scene after the first couple ofbig laughs, but Adam McKay will
keep it going to see where itgoes, and in this case it paid
off.

Speaker 2 (13:53):
Yeah, I'm with Will Ferrell on this one.
Yeah, 800 pound tuna, yeah theywould definitely kill it.

Speaker 1 (13:59):
And all of his buddies, but I mean they could
attempt to start eating it, butthen they'd probably die of
eating too much Either way.

Speaker 2 (14:09):
Oh, you mean the lion ?
Yeah, um, get a furball or ahairball, all right bro, let's
hop into the plot, that's all Ihad.

Speaker 1 (14:20):
Let's aim for the bushes.

Speaker 2 (14:21):
Aim for the bushes.

Speaker 1 (14:21):
Oh my God, all right, man, let's hop into the plot,
baby.
The other guys.

Speaker 2 (14:30):
Two thousand and ten Right after the 2008 stock
market crash.

Speaker 1 (14:36):
Yeah, which completely changed how Adam
McKay makes movies.
Have you seen Viso?
You should watch it.
I think you'd like it.
I'm sure I would.
It's funny and also, you know,you know it's about a bad guy,
so all right, the other guys2010, directed by adam mckay,
starring will ferrell and markwalberg, I'm still gonna

(14:57):
struggle.
So officers pk highsmith,played by samuel jackson and
chris danson, played by DwayneJohnson, are the most badass
cops that New York City has everseen.

Speaker 2 (15:06):
Hey we're cops here.
It's like if Rush Hour was realand I'm like hugely problematic
.

Speaker 1 (15:16):
Do you think when cops go into being cops they're
like damn it.
I wish we could just cause massdestruction, because if I
became a cop, that's what Iwould want to do.

Speaker 2 (15:24):
That's why I'm not a cop.
There have been a few guys thatI knew before they became
police officers, who would justwere so excited about being or
being able to arrest people foranything no reason, yeah I was
like you do not need to be anofficer of the law.
Yeah, bro, but you got so muchpower.

Speaker 1 (15:45):
So the movie opens, with them engaged in a
high-speed chase, creating abunch of destruction of every
block that they cross.
They drive through a bus, usethe bus to throw a car at
criminals in the bank.
Whenever the car goes into thebus, did someone call 911?
Holy shit, they do manage tocapture the criminals at high

(16:09):
speeds.
However, the infraction theypicked them up for is very minor
charges, and they managed to doa lot of damage, like 12
million in damage for, likewhat'd they say, a quarter pound
of weed.

Speaker 2 (16:21):
Yeah, they're held as heroes, though it goes for
about $250.
Well, it used to, it's probablymore now yeah, hey worth it.

Speaker 1 (16:28):
They're off the show.
I will say they did havemachine guns and probably,
honestly, probably, theydeserved it?

Speaker 2 (16:36):
They probably eventually deserved it.

Speaker 1 (16:40):
They were going to shoot up something or rob
something, I guess.
So back at the station they'realso greeted as heroes and
treated like celebrities.
There's several pairs ofofficers, including Martin and
Fosse, that's Rob Riegel andDamian Weiss.
Officer Bob God, who's justconstantly making announcements
about boring stuff and everybodyjust yells at him and nobody
pays attention until yeah, andthen you have the other guys

(17:03):
Alan Gamblery hoitz, played bywilfred hallmark wolbert.
They're admired by gamble a, bythe numbers forensic accountant
who is very straight laced anddoesn't take any risk.
Gamble's partner, terry holthoitz, disagrees and he's grown
tired of his desk job and wantsto see some real hardcore action
.
Um Will Ferrell's humming, it'slike stop humming that song,

(17:26):
then he starts smiling, stopsmiling, and then we get the
huge lion monologue and tuna,and then, after he like bests
him in the monologue, he justspills his coffee on him.

Speaker 2 (17:39):
That didn't go how you thought it was going to go,
did it yeah?

Speaker 1 (17:43):
We learn, hoyt's had his gun taken away thanks to a
past incident involving workingsecurity at game seven of the
world series, where he shotderrick cheater, derrick theater
yeah, you should have shot arod.

Speaker 2 (17:55):
Yeah.
Are you a baseball fan?

Speaker 1 (17:57):
no, yeah I would like to go to a mlb game.
Yeah, I like going, I would goto the braves game.
But yeah, I like going, I wouldgo to a Braves game.
But you know, I have like alife to live man.
I can only give it to one sport, and that's football, because
it's fun to watch.

Speaker 2 (18:11):
I'm only going if a star player gets shot.
Yeah, me too.

Speaker 1 (18:16):
So everybody, because they're at like this gun
counseling thing when they'redetailing it For officers who
have discharged their weapon andeverybody and they're just like
oh, fuck him how do they makeyou feel they call?
Like a viagra with a face.
Yeah, they call him the yankeeclipper.
Gamble also has earned anunflattering nickname around the

(18:40):
office paper bitch it's kind ofhis fault yeah, cuz he has no
problem doing everybody'spaperwork.
And to make matters worse,gamble is duped into a prank by
fellow officers Martin and Fosse, firing his gun randomly in the
air, doing a desk pop he justwants to be like everyone he's
like really everybody does it ohyeah, I mean, I feel like at

(19:02):
some point other people shouldbe getting in trouble in this
police off the police station.
Well, I feel like at some pointother people should be getting
in trouble in this policestation.

Speaker 2 (19:07):
Well, I feel like he would have noticed if it was a
thing, he's probably been therefor a while.
It's like what have you beendoing this guy's nose in his
computer.

Speaker 1 (19:15):
He just never noticed .
The captain takes Gamble's gunaway and give him a wooden gun.
Love it.
I love the evolution of thisgun.

Speaker 2 (19:25):
I know, I feel like they should have given him one
of those wooden guns that has.
They can shoot rubber bands atleast.
Yeah, you know, maybe getsomebody in the eye.
Yeah, we also learned thecaptain has a second job at Bed
Bath Beyond because of hisbisexual son Going to college,
but I do love how he does it tosupport his son even though, but

(19:46):
he seems like he really likeshis bed bath.

Speaker 1 (19:50):
I think that's his favorite job he has.
I think it's where he justloves that.
It's like hey, it's not highstress, it's not murder, yeah,
it's just bath mats, noteverybody's an asshole.
They're all like I don't know,steroid pumping cops.
I guess, because that's how theyall act so the next day
Highsmith and Danson are calledinto the field.

(20:12):
This case is them chasingsuspects in a jewelry store
robbery.
Once again, they're chasing asuspect robbing a jewelry store,
and up in a high rise.
Yeah, whenever they get thecall, so they get the call first
, and then this is where youjust have Mark Wahlberg going
absolutely batshit.
He gets so pissed he's like I'ma peacock, you gotta let me fly

(20:34):
.
We gotta go get this WillFerrell's like okay, but the
robber manages to escape using azipline and to follow him
they're planning to jump off ahigh rise into the bushes.
Unfortunately, they missbecause there are no bushes and
hit the pavement instead.

Speaker 2 (20:50):
Yeah, it's like they couldn't possibly call for help
or backup or nothing.

Speaker 1 (20:55):
It's like there's cops all down there Like what do
we do?
So no one really knows why theydecided to jump.
They're given a hero's funeralby the city of New York Without
their hottest officers.
Hoyt wants him and Gamble tostep up instead.
Then we get to the funeral.
It's so good.
At the funeral, hoyt and Gamblenearly start a brawl with some

(21:17):
of the other detectives.
I was like you want to go, huh,you want to go yeah.

Speaker 2 (21:23):
I'll go.

Speaker 1 (21:23):
We're just pushing each other around and they start
fighting.
I was like, yeah, come on, it'sa fight.
Yeah, get him, get him.
And then Michael Keaton goes upthere.
Everybody stop.
It's just his face that hemakes when he does it.
It's so funny.
He's got a hilarious face.
God, I love Michael Keaton.
He's probably top five actorfor me.

(21:45):
I always forget he's a top fiveactor for me until I watch him
in a movie and I'm like, ah, Ilove this man.

Speaker 2 (21:52):
Yeah, I know you recognize him immediately.
Yeah, you love it.

Speaker 1 (21:57):
Showdown.
So Hoyt desperately wants ataste of action but
unfortunately, as he's pairedwith Gamble, gamble's obsessed
with a case involving faultyscaffolding being installed at a
construction site.
Somebody's gotta do it.
It's like how did he even findthis case?
Did somebody call it in?
Did he walk past the street andsee it?
Like what is this?
But then they get a call aboutshots being fired and cocaine at

(22:20):
the scene, which forces Gambleout of the office to take the
case by putting a gun to hisnecks.
They're walking out like he'sgot a gun to me.
I'm in a police station andnobody cares that he's got a gun
pointed at my head.

Speaker 2 (22:34):
I think that's just how it is.
That's just how it is All thetime.

Speaker 1 (22:37):
In the worst New York police station.
Yes, I don't know what precinctthis is, but it needs to be
shut down, or this?
Is michael keaton, just doesn'thave the reins on him, like
yeah and that's maybe that'swhat he can't like keep his
officers in check but he can atbed bath and beyond.

Speaker 2 (22:51):
So that's why he likes it more.
So much easier.

Speaker 1 (22:53):
Yeah um as they finally get some field work.
Hoits discovers that gamble iseven lamer than he originally
thought because of his cheesylistening music.

Speaker 2 (23:02):
that is prius, I feel like I'm riding in a vagina,
yeah.

Speaker 1 (23:07):
I have a Prius.
They're great vehicles.
The first taste of action endsincredibly poorly when Gamble
floors the accelerator on hisred Porsche Prius and crashes
into the crime scene.
America, he runs over thecorpse.

Speaker 2 (23:22):
Oh wait.

Speaker 1 (23:23):
Did you scream, america, while?

Speaker 2 (23:25):
doing that.
It's like I did.
No, it's like no, no, I'venever felt more alive, aroused.

Speaker 1 (23:31):
I think he says aroused, it's a little aroused.
We are then introduced tobillionaire investor David
Ershon, played by Steve Coogan.
One of the funniest people younever remember At the center,
for they meet him at the Centerfor American Capitalism.
What convention is this.

(23:52):
Hey, let's talk about beingrich and getting richer and
screwing everybody else, yeah wedon't know about these things.
He has a quote Live for excess.
It's the.

Speaker 2 (24:01):
American way, american way, baby, don't stop
profiting, yeah.

Speaker 1 (24:06):
No matter how many people it hurts.
Hey, should we up the prices ongroceries?
And nobody can stop us?
Sure, why not?
As in, I bought $130 worth ofgroceries and only bought like
15 items.
Nice, that really fuckingpisses me off.

Speaker 2 (24:21):
Damn it Biden.
Did you get some crackers?
Did you get some crackers?
Did you get some soup?

Speaker 1 (24:25):
Yeah, A tomato.
So Ershon is being pressuredbecause he owes money to a woman
and, like the whole company,essentially.
To the Lendl Global.
Lendl Global, that's it, man.
I thought I put that in mynotes, but I did not.
He's being followed until hepays.
He gets away, though, bytricking the people.

Speaker 2 (24:52):
Hoyts is still demeaning Gamble about
everything he does becauseeverything he does isn't manly
enough.
It's pretty bad, yeah A littlebad for him.

Speaker 1 (24:56):
I know Gamble wants to go after Ershon.
He convinces Hoyts by hittinghim with a wooden gun.
It's like I'll use this.
He's like what are you going todo with that?
And just like, hits him rightin the nose Like oh so good, but
it's solid man that would hurt.
Yeah, it would.
That thing looks heavy.
They then meet Urshan at theconvention.
Gamble arrests Urshan but failsto read, so bummed out, he

(25:20):
wanted a Miranda ride.
So he always missed it.

Speaker 2 (25:24):
I love that, though he was like you have the right
to remain silent.
Anything you say or do can beused.

Speaker 1 (25:29):
Can be he's like use this flotation device he's like
okay, yeah so while transportingErshon back to the station,
Gamble has an accident with somevery suspicious people who then
steal Gamble's Prius and kidnapErshon back to the station.
Gamble has an accident withsome very suspicious people who
then steal Gamble's Prius andkidnap Ershon.

Speaker 2 (25:49):
The female kidnapper makes eyes at Gamble and they
steal their shoes.

Speaker 1 (25:53):
That is one of the funniest gags, yeah, the fact
that hot girls love him for theshoes thing, because they're
both equally funny in my opinion.

Speaker 2 (26:00):
The hot girl thing is what I was looking for.

Speaker 1 (26:02):
Especially the second time they're like they stole
her shoes again.
It's like why do they keepstealing her shoes?

Speaker 2 (26:10):
well, I mean, like growing up, that's what they
used to tell us that kidnapperswould do to children, to keep
them from running away, keepthem from running, ah, but as
awful as that is, it's hilariousfor what happens to adults.
Well, if you don't think aboutit in that sense it's very funny
when they get back, their feetare all bloody and shit what is

(26:31):
it?

Speaker 1 (26:33):
Rob Riggle's like, where'd y'all come from?
The Shire?
Or it's like, or what did hecall them?
Hobbits or bilbo baggins orwhatever, something like that.
So Gamble and Hoyt decide thatthey need a fresh chart while
wandering the streets of NewYork City Maybe we should call
each other the Febreze Brothersbecause we are so fresh it's
like do we need another freshchart?
Should we do one more?

(26:53):
Last one, it's like I just keepthinking about hitting me right
in the face.
Back at the station they have anew case and that's to find out
who kidnapped Ershan.
They get called into thecaptain's office and we learn
that Roger Weasley, the guy thatwas the main guy that was
kidnapping and was supposed tofollow the Australian guy Ershan

(27:14):
yes, played by Steve RayStevenson, I believe, is his
name.
He played Punisher once.
He's so tall.
Punisher Wars on a very fun,wacky dude movie.
Never even heard of that one,yeah it's bad but also amazing,
so it's kind of got both thingsgoing for it.
They get called into thecaptain's office and learn that
Roger Weasley is one who stoletheir Prius and Ershon.

(27:34):
They say that they thoughtHoltz, hoytz and Gamble were
kidnapping.

Speaker 2 (27:44):
Because Ershon's like please don't let these men take
me.
Yeah, it's like what.
You don't even see themstealing their shoes, they're
just gone.

Speaker 1 (27:48):
They're just gone and they're saying like, oh, we
didn't know your officers and wejust thought you were
kidnapping Urshan, and so that'swhy we did what we did.
And then, after Roger Wesleyleaves, they're like all right,
they brought back your shoes.
They also brought back your guncampbell, your guns.

(28:11):
It's like they even actuallyput a nice stain on it like
leekwood seed oil.
Yeah, made it look beautiful,dude.
It's like who?

Speaker 2 (28:15):
comes up with that shit like what's up?

Speaker 1 (28:17):
was it just like adam mckay?
Just be like hey, it actuallyjust like.
Just afterthought on the day islike hey, let's actually put
some stain on that.
It'd be funny if they likestained it.
Or it's like is that somethingyou think of while writing the
script?

Speaker 2 (28:27):
well, if there is a script.
It's like maybe if thewhoever's a like, if anybody's a
woodworker and they're like man, we could spruce this up a
little bit, yeah, let's actuallyjust do it.

Speaker 1 (28:37):
And then kind of surprise, or like they just like
threw it in there as like asurprise.

Speaker 2 (28:41):
You should think about writing him a thank you
letter.
Yeah, lynn Cedoy.

Speaker 1 (28:46):
Yeah, lynn Cedoy, yeah so Gamble invites Hoyt over
to talk the case.
He apologizes about his wife,who acts like a bitch and is a
big old broad and likes a flaunt.
He pre-apologizes for it.
She's a big old broad and likesso funny.
So it goes over to Gamble'shouse where he learns more about

(29:09):
Gamble, including the fact thatGamble has a supermodel wife
named.
Sheila played by Eva Mendesshe's also a well, disrespected
doctor, and he like gets so mad,and he's like um, she's like oh
, can you give me a kiss?
And he's like no it's like okay, you look like a hobo, you look
like a hobo.
It's like go change.

(29:30):
I already did mark walbert allthe time, no she looks beautiful
she looks pretty seriously.
Who is she?
Um, he can't believe how hotshe is.
Uh, um.
Then they get a call that theylearn who stole the Prius.

Speaker 2 (29:48):
And ruin the name Mike forever.

Speaker 1 (29:51):
Before they're leaving.
As they're leaving, markWahlberg just keeps trying to
hug Sheila and they're sayingbye, because they're on the neck
.

Speaker 2 (29:58):
Bye, sheila.

Speaker 1 (30:00):
Gamble Bye, terry, bye Sheila, terry bye, I don't
think you heard me.

Speaker 2 (30:05):
Bye, sheila yeah.

Speaker 1 (30:06):
It just like keeps going.
But Gamble then learns he stolethe Prius and it turns out that
it was stolen by some homelesspeople and they had an orgy In
the back seat and a raccoon Tooka shit in it.

Speaker 2 (30:16):
Well, no, a mama raccoon had babies in it.
Had babies in it.

Speaker 1 (30:20):
Yeah, and then they found like a condom and a dead
rat.

Speaker 2 (30:23):
With a baby mouse.

Speaker 1 (30:27):
And they also found Gamble's lost iPhone.
The group of homeless people isknown as Dirty Mike and the
Boys, and they left a note.
Thanks for the F-Shack.

Speaker 2 (30:43):
Oh, that's so good, dirty Mike and the Boys yes, oh,
it's so good.
Dirty like a boy, yes, it'slike what?

Speaker 1 (30:49):
why making a name for ourselves around town?
I'm gonna make a name formyself yeah, there's other ways
to do it but.

Speaker 2 (30:56):
I feel like he's hey, they're having their best life,
they're successful man yeah.

Speaker 1 (31:00):
So Gamble and Hoyt then go to interview the next
witness, who also happens to beformer ex-girlfriend of Gamble's
, another unbelievablyattractive girl.
However, she is married andHoyt's manages to offend the
woman by mispronouncing her name.
It's.
It's Christina, not Christina.
You come into my house.
You disrespect my wife.

Speaker 2 (31:20):
I love it.
As soon as they open the door,she called mark walberg's.

Speaker 1 (31:25):
Like hey, I'm terry she's like oh, hey, telly, yeah,
and she's super crazy and it'slike her and her husband.
Who this husband?

Speaker 2 (31:36):
I forgot the actor's name but it's always so funny
he's really funny.

Speaker 1 (31:40):
He's so good at that awkward comedy awkward and it's
just like you don't trust them.
You immediately think that thisguy's a piece of shit and I
don't care what you say.

Speaker 2 (31:49):
I love that, though, whatever they had to go have a
word in the kitchen.
He's like laying on the couchI'm all covered in hair, but I'm
not.
I'm not completely shaved, andhe's like y'all got the
information.

Speaker 1 (31:59):
You got that phone, yet while christina's slamming
them you pieces of shit.
I love you, say it, you love mehe like, pushes her away, grabs
the iphone, runs out.
You come back here and makelove to my wife and then they're
in the car talking about it.

Speaker 2 (32:19):
It's like hours after and they're like probably as
far as they can be, 20 miles,and they're both coming.
You think it's like hours afterand they're like probably as
far as they can be, yes, andthey're both coming.
You think it's just him?

Speaker 1 (32:28):
yeah, she's right behind in her dress, like high
heels, running after him.
Oh god, oh man.
It's like at the beginning ofthis podcast.
I'm like, oh, this scene, thisscene.
And then I completely forgotthis is one of the funniest
scenes in the movie there's somuch good stuff, um, so Hoyt's
really wants to know whatGamble's deal is with.
I completely forgot.
This is one of the funniestscenes in the movie.
There's so much good stuff, soHoyt really wants to know what
Gamble's deal is with hot ladies.
While sitting in the Prius,they listen to the voicemail

(32:49):
from Ershon.
Turns out he was actuallykidnapped and needs to repay $34
billion, and they also get likehis address from it.
And then, like you said,kristina Finna, Also.
Kristina kind of a crazy name,right, kristina.
It's like, yeah, everybodywould mispronounce that it's

(33:10):
Kristina.
So later that night we're at alocal bar singing about their
woes.

Speaker 2 (33:16):
That's hilarious.

Speaker 1 (33:20):
Like sailors, like old Scottish dirges.

Speaker 2 (33:22):
But they're singing about Harry Potter.
Yeah, it's like no, it's got alot of history, because that is
something that happens in likeIrish bars yeah, just get up and
sing, sing their hearts out,sing their sea shanties yeah, I
would love that.
Yeah, but like this is a littledifferent.

Speaker 1 (33:43):
Yeah, singing shanties yeah, I would love that
, yeah, but like this is alittle different.

Speaker 2 (33:44):
Yeah, it was good came back to fight his wife home
with five british soldiers yeah, it was all consensual.
It reminds me of the, the storyof roy.
I think it's roy rogers haveyou seen that movie?

Speaker 1 (34:00):
uh, no, lumines Neeson plays him right.

Speaker 2 (34:02):
Yeah, it's fucking, but not the same.
It's not the same thing.
She actually gets like brutallyassaulted by British soldiers
and she has a son and she comesback and she's like this
happened.
I had a son.
He's like we'll call himWilliam.

Speaker 1 (34:18):
Okay, william Rogers, he was totally cool about it.
Yeah, like, oh, that's fine,shoot, it's the 1800s or
whatever that's a badass movie.
It's old, but it's is thatwhere it's like a lot of sword
fighting.
Yeah, yeah, okay, there's aduel at the end.
Yeah, alright, yeah, I'vealways heard it's a.
I think he got like nominated.
I think Liam Neeson gotnominated for that movie,

(34:40):
something like that.
It's like one of his firstreally big, well-recognized
roles.

Speaker 2 (34:44):
Yeah, he had to hide.
It's like he had to hide in thewhat's the thing from Star Wars
where they hid.
You think it smells bad on theoutside?
Yeah, but he had to hide insideof a dead cow to get away from
British soldiers.

Speaker 1 (34:58):
Fuck, should we do this movie, figure out, if it's
on anything, we'll have to do it.
Yeah, hell, yeah.
So Gamble and Hoyt's discoversthat Ershon is up to something
involving the state lottery andsome suspicious activity.
Hoyt then goes to meet hisgirlfriend, a dance instructor,
who turns out he has some issueswith.

Speaker 2 (35:14):
You shouldn't be in here at a strip club, shaking it
for dollar bills.

Speaker 1 (35:18):
When he walks in, she's like, hey, get off of her.
Unfortunately, though, Gambleawkwardly shows up and makes
things worse than they were.

Speaker 2 (35:29):
I'm not sure he did make it worse.
It was already pretty bad.

Speaker 1 (35:30):
There's a point at the end of the conversation
you're just making things.
You're not making things anybetter.

Speaker 2 (35:35):
You're kind of making it worse.

Speaker 1 (35:36):
Hoyt then proved that he can dance like her and isn't
only into police business.
Does a perfect ballet yeah, andit's like whoa.
Ok, then he like storms off.
The explanation is the best.
Well, I think we allexperienced our own ballet today
, A ballet of feelings, allright.

Speaker 2 (35:58):
Go away.
You're making, you're notmaking things any better.

Speaker 1 (36:02):
Then Gamble brings out how well Hoyt's dances.
This is a quote.
Gamble hey, I didn't know youcould dance, Terry.
We used to do those dance movesto make fun of the guys when we
were kids, to show them howqueer they were.
Okay, Gamble, you learned todance like that sarcastically.
Hoyt's yeah, I guess.

Speaker 2 (36:22):
That's awesome.

Speaker 1 (36:23):
It feels like something would be in Napoleon
Dynamite it's so good and likethere's something else towards
the end that's like the same way.
Oh, all right.
The next day, driving into thecity, Gamble and Hoyt have an
incredibly awkward momentbecause Gamble gives him a gift
it's an FBI mug.
Female body inspector.

Speaker 2 (36:43):
He throws it out the window.
He's an FBI mug Female bodyinspector.

Speaker 1 (36:46):
He's like do you not get it Like at first, you see,
and it looks like an actual mugfor FBI, you're like, well, hold
on a second.
Does that say female bodyinspector?
That's my favorite, willFerrell.
It's like just the best whenhe's just like just playing dumb
and like innocent, it's so good, that's outrageous, yeah.

(37:12):
And then, uh, they get toanother fight and gamble plays
some of more of his favoritemusic the little river band.
Is that what it is?
Yeah, all right.
Um, so they go to the next stopon their list, another
accounting firm, which ends inthe storefront.
They're going to explode, andthis is when we talked about
last week, when man of Fire whenhe walks away from an explosion
, I'm like hell.

Speaker 2 (37:31):
Yes, we need to do the other guys now.
It would have been like a bigshockwave.

Speaker 1 (37:34):
Yeah, I love it because it got Gamble right
after the explosion.
I can't hear.
I can't hear.
There's blood blisters on myhands.
Oh my God, how do you walk awayin a movie without flinching
when it explodes behind them?
There's no way.
I call bullshit on that.
When they flew the MillenniumFalcon outside the Death Star
and it was followed by theexplosion, that was bullshit.

Speaker 2 (37:54):
Yeah, hell, yeah, it was Don't you dare badmouth Star
.
Wars.
That was all accurate.

Speaker 1 (38:02):
Gamble.
I just want to go somewhere tobreastfeed right now they're all
shouting because the eardrumsare busted.
Yeah, it's so good oh god,gamble is um, he's tired of
explosions and the gunfights andwants to go back to his desk.
Hoits, on the other hand,disagrees and tells Gamble that

(38:22):
life is loud and has incidentslike this.

Speaker 2 (38:29):
Like explosions?

Speaker 1 (38:31):
No, they don't Never had that happen, except during
Fourth of July.

Speaker 2 (38:35):
Yeah, you don't want it.

Speaker 1 (38:38):
So Gamble then reveals about his passing
college.
He was essentially a glorifiedpimp.
Yeah, he's like Hoyt's wasessentially a glorified pimp.
Yeah, he's like Hoyt'sconstantly.
Yeah, a pimp.
That's what pimps do.

Speaker 2 (38:49):
It's so funny how it came to be, how he was just
trying to be like a good friend,yeah.

Speaker 1 (38:55):
And then he turns into like the worst, a pimp.
Apparently he made moneyworking security for college's
attractive women and was verywell paid.
It's like yeah, uh, and heattracted a huge group of women,
yay, stable hose 14, yeah andearned the real nickname of
gator gator.
Um, he decided to leave thatlife behind after an incident

(39:18):
where he went to the emergencyroom because he had poison ivy
in his buttthole.
Oh his rectum.
Yeah, and met Sheila who hewould later go on to marry and
that's why he's straight-lacedas he is.

Speaker 2 (39:27):
It's so funny, like their story of them meeting he's
ass up crying inflamed Pimpsdon't cry Pimps, don't cry Woo
so after that they go to meetErshon back at his accounting
firm.

Speaker 1 (39:47):
They confront Ershon about his penny pinching and
they don't know what he's up towith the state lottery.
But they definitely suspectthat he's up to something.
They just can't quite put theirfinger on it.
Gamble is obsessed with thecucumber water because when they
come in he's like here, get himsome iceberg cucumber water.
He's like this is really goodwater, it made me want it.

(40:10):
It looks so like the glasses.
Everything made it lookappetizing Terry's like no we
don't want your water.

Speaker 2 (40:15):
He's like oh, I'm looking forward to it.
I'm looking forward to it.

Speaker 1 (40:20):
Because Ershon offers them a bribe of courtside seats
at the latest Knicks game.
But they don't know it's abribe.
I love like you cut to him.
It's got like Rosie Perez,tracy Morgan at the game, um.
And when they're there they'relike wait, this doesn't feel
right.
Hoyt's oh, he bribed us and wedidn't even know it and then

(40:41):
they get tickets to the JerseyBoys.

Speaker 2 (40:43):
Yeah, yeah, upstanty and.

Speaker 1 (40:44):
Aubrey the tickets to the musical Jersey Boys.
They're there and they're like,yeah, even like Hoyt's is like
super excited about it, like youguys are amazing.
Gamble sits down Damn it, wefell for it again.
And then they go in there again.
They're like not again, notthis time.
And then they go in there againand they're like not again, not
this time.
And they go and he's likewhatever Hoyts and Gamble learn

(41:10):
that Ershon is trying to coverup some shady losses that he had
to cover his tracks on some badinvestments with everyone in
the world and Hoyts comes upwith that he's going to be bad
cop and that Gamble is going tobe good cop, but Gamble's going
to be good

Speaker 2 (41:25):
cop but he doesn't let him finish the sentence.

Speaker 1 (41:28):
Yeah, and so Hoyt goes and he starts being bad cop
.
And then Gamble comes in andjust goes, waits.
He starts throwing themeverywhere, throwing all this
stuff on the ground.

Speaker 2 (41:38):
Oh, God, yeah, I love that when Ershad in the
beginning he's like I want totalk to you, you seem reasonable
.
Yeah, I'll talk to you.

Speaker 1 (41:46):
He's like no, he's just screaming, almost crying.
So while at Ershon's officethey're confronted by some
incredibly shady people in theparking lot Watch out, colombian
drug lords.
It's like how do you know that?
How?

Speaker 2 (41:59):
did you get?

Speaker 1 (42:00):
that from this Something I love about this
Every time something's poppingup, hoist is constantly assumes
it's like a huge case for noreason, which this is.
He's just not on the righttrack yet.
He just doesn't realize.
And something I love is thathoist is great at fighting even
gamble's like man, do you everthink about where you'd be if
you didn't shoot?

Speaker 2 (42:20):
yeah, it's incredible , like Kung Fu or whatever.

Speaker 1 (42:25):
And then Hoyts and Gamble are then kidnapped and
are being transported on trainin Gamble's Prius.
This is where we're like.
They stole our shoes.

Speaker 2 (42:33):
Yeah, that fight scene was so cool.
Yeah, it was great he jumpsback and kicks Will Ferrell out
of the way from the othermotorcycle that's going to hit
him.

Speaker 1 (42:44):
You're like shit, this guy's a badass.
He really shouldn't have shotJared Dieter.
Yeah, he shouldn't have beencaged down, jared Dieter.
So back at the station, thecaptain's boss is grilling Hoyts
and Gamble about theirinvestigation into Ershon's
construction, ershon's shadybusiness practices.
The captain has a change ofheart and removes Gamble's
wooden gun, but Practices.
The captain has a change ofheart and removes Gamble's

(43:05):
wooden gun, but gives him a rapewhistle as a replacement.
Hell yeah, man, and I love thatwe actually see him use it in
the movie.
Yeah, did you ever have one, arape whistle.

Speaker 2 (43:12):
Well, I've had whistles.
What about a storm?
Whistle.

Speaker 1 (43:15):
No, I just had like a normal whistle as a kid, but it
could have been a rape whistleIf I had it on me and that was
happening, it would have becomea rape.
I may have would have tried it.
I don't think anybody wouldhave responded to a whistle.
Yeah, here's the thing If Ihear a whistle I'd be like, oh,
somebody's kids got a whistleand it's just blowing.

Speaker 2 (43:33):
It's a referee on the loose.

Speaker 1 (43:35):
Oh no, the umpire from the World.

Speaker 2 (43:37):
Series.

Speaker 1 (43:38):
Game 7 is coming after Hoyts.
So the captain then orders allthe evidence they have on Ershon
turned over to the SEC.
Hoyts brings up the peacockthing again.
Captain says peacocks can't fly, so I don't get the reference
Gambles.
Well, some they can kind of fly.
Then the captain quotes TLCDon't go chasing waterfalls.
Like did you just quote TLC?

(44:00):
And he's like I have no ideawhat you're talking about?

Speaker 2 (44:01):
I don't understand the reference.
I have zero idea what's goingon here.

Speaker 1 (44:04):
They're like no one ever says that.

Speaker 2 (44:06):
It's like I don't know what you're talking about
you never say those thingsunless you're referencing?

Speaker 1 (44:09):
TLC.
It's like get out of my office.
Later officer ball Bob tellsthem about the police pension
fund and yells at him and hurtshis feelings.

Speaker 2 (44:20):
Yeah, they have no time for Bob.
Poor guy, poor guy.

Speaker 1 (44:26):
But if they listened they would have been even closer
, so much nonsense didn't haveto happen.
They're like pinch your phone,Where's it going?
Oh wait, Ershon's in charge ofthat.

Speaker 2 (44:35):
Maybe that's what it's about.
I feel like there would havebeen a meeting.

Speaker 1 (44:38):
And then we could have cut 20 minutes out of the
movie.

Speaker 2 (44:40):
There's a meeting that they probably didn't get to
go to.

Speaker 1 (44:42):
Yeah.
Meanwhile, at Gamble's house,he tells Sheila that they have
been kicked off the case.
He explains he's beenstruggling to stay straight
laced and Gator is coming back.
You don't get it.
There's dark.
There's a darkness inside of me.
It wants to get out, it wantsto buy some shoes and it wants

That Gators bitches better beusing jimmies.
Oh God, he's right thoughGators bitches better be using

Yeah, they better.
They better, and then she kickshim out of the house.
Dropped my phone.
I was laughing too hard.

Speaker 2 (46:01):
Yeah, that's.
I feel like, yeah, good for her, you know.
But no, I love like when, afterthe dinner, the in the earlier
in the movie, when she was likeevery day, I tell him don't get
hurt, and these will be waitinghere for you, yeah my perky fur
breasts and he's like you knowthey may not be big enough for

(46:21):
them, but they are perky.
They may not be the biggesthe's ever seen.
He's like no, they're not,they're not.

Speaker 1 (46:30):
Oh God.
So later that night Gamble andHoyt decided that they're both
depressed about their troubleswith their women and don't know
what to do next.
They're also confronted byDirty Mike and the boys.
Hey, you see that priest, we'regoing to have sex in that car.
Like, are you Dirty Mike andthe boys?

(46:51):
Like?

Speaker 2 (46:53):
how do you know Run away?
If only they would have had araccoon with them.
Yeah, and I love it.

Speaker 1 (47:02):
as they're running away, we're going to have sex in
your car.

Speaker 2 (47:05):
We will have sex in your car again.

Speaker 1 (47:09):
And then after that they decide to go on a bender to
end all benders.

Speaker 2 (47:13):
It's fucking rad, it was an epic night.

Speaker 1 (47:16):
I love this scene.
It's so cool.
Yeah, it is really cool.

Speaker 2 (47:20):
It's like the way it's shot, you know it's like
like still pictures and it moves.
But it's like panoramic stillframes or something I meant to
look up how they did it.

Speaker 1 (47:29):
It's cool, I'm not prepared.

Speaker 2 (47:32):
And then you got like look he's firing his gun in the
air.
At one point there's one pointhe's firing it to impress a girl
while Hoyt's is beatingsomebody up.

Speaker 1 (47:46):
And then it cuts to Hoyt shooting the gun up in the
air and then Gamble biting apriest and then Hoyt has his
like police badge out likestopping everybody, while Gamble
is peeing on the pool table.
So funny.
My favorite is biting thepriest and the thing is the
bartender's in like most of theshots, and every time he's just

(48:08):
in there smiling at him.

Speaker 2 (48:09):
That's amazing.
What a great night for abartender.

Speaker 1 (48:11):
I know God we should start a bar Also, I love Black
Eyed Peas.

Speaker 2 (48:15):
Oh yeah, that's a badass song for this.

Speaker 1 (48:17):
I feel like time has passed enough to where we're all
like no Black Eyed Peas is good, right yeah.

Speaker 2 (48:23):
I like the Black Eyed Peas.

Speaker 1 (48:24):
I'm going to be on the next level.

Speaker 2 (48:26):
That's a badass song, it is.
It really is and some peopleare 2008 some people are 2001
whenever this scene came on,because I was watching this on
my phone and, uh, my kids areall like on the couches, they're
all watching their things.
Like I couldn't use the tv atthe time, so I was just I turned
it up for this scene andeverybody got up and started

(48:48):
dancing.
It was awesome, that's adorable, so hoisting gamble.

Speaker 1 (48:53):
Then go to turn over the evidence.
The secretary is John Ralphiofrom Parks and Rec.
Hell yeah, man.
I wish he got to go for JohnRalphio.
It's Ben Shorts.
I love Ben Shorts.
The person they are turningtheir evidence into happens to
be Ershon's lawyer, played byDavid from the Office, the
Thunder Mifflflin like main bossor whatever.

Speaker 2 (49:15):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, and I love how he was like don't
worry, there's not going to beany kind of problem with this.
I would recuse myself yeah.

Speaker 1 (49:27):
But it turns out he actually was going to be a good
guy.
He promises to seriously lookat the evidence.
So back at the station, woodsis extremely angry about the
fact that they just handed overall the evidence.
He smashes his own computer.
Are you a big man?
Huh, I'm talking to you whatHoyt says.
Gamble, do you wake up in themorning and say I'm putting on

(49:48):
my big pole pants?
Look, I'm wearing a belt.
I'm a big, I got my big pantson and then like yeah, he goes
full gator, yeah.
And then it's like I feel likeI'm working on partners with the
Hulk.
The Hulk You're always just soangry, so good, I completely
fucked all that up by.
It's all good Stuttering, so weforgive you.

(50:10):
They don't.
They're all unfollowing.
They then get a call over thepolice banner about a possible
jumper from a high rise.
Gamble tells Hoyt that hisprevious experience about
hostage negotiation he took anonline class one semester.

Speaker 2 (50:28):
The University of Phoenix.
Oh woof, I took a class fromthem too.

Speaker 1 (50:32):
Yeah, oh yeah, that's right, I still don't have a new
job.
That went nowhere.
I mean it is though I aced it,you nailed it, but it ends
poorly when Gamble gets on thePA and has extremely poor choice
of words.
That has the jumper.
Jumping Jumper also happened towork for Arshon.
It was the lawyer.

Speaker 2 (50:55):
Oh yeah, yeah happened to work for urshan.
It was the lawyer.

Speaker 1 (50:56):
Oh yeah, yeah, boom boom boom, they go to his office
and it's all wrecked to shit.
Yeah, um, and then like, asthey're in, it's like, oh,
there's definitely so like astruggle here.
And then the captain comes in.
He's like get out of here,you're off the case.
Even more even because you'recompletely off the case, and
they get demoted and then theyalso lost, they lost their
friend, their friendship andthey get demoted.
And then they also lost.
They lost their friend, theirfriendship in there.

Speaker 2 (51:17):
Oh yeah, they weren't partners anymore.

Speaker 1 (51:18):
Yeah, they're no longer allowed to be partners
but it's.
It's funny it's cause Terryloves being a traffic cop and
he's like doing it so well, it'sso good, it's so funny, even
wins an award.
Yeah, um so Ward, yeah.
So we hear a monologue from thenarrator played by Icy.
Yeah, right, yeah, icy.

Speaker 2 (51:39):
Why Icy About what a man?

Speaker 1 (51:41):
has to do to pick himself up once he gets his ass
kicked.
We see Hoyt's being really goodat being a traffic cop and he's
like dancing while he's doingit and everything.
And Gamble is still pursuingthe case.

Speaker 2 (51:52):
Yeah, he's actually becoming a real detective.

Speaker 1 (51:54):
Yeah, because he's actually becoming a real
detective, yeah because he'sstill obsessed about the
conspiracy theory involvingErshon and the lottery Gamble,
thinks that the jewelry heistthat Danson and Highsmith were
chasing was actually adistraction for an even bigger
robbery taking place behind thescenes.
A homie goes into the captain'soffice.

Speaker 2 (52:08):
Gator needs his gap, you punk-ass bitch and he just
gives it to him.

Speaker 1 (52:11):
He just gives it to him because he's having a
conversation with his kid on thephone Saying like I am proud of
you.

Speaker 2 (52:16):
You can have the office.
Fine, take your gun.
That's what I do with my kids.
Every time I ask for candy orsomething, yeah, you just give
them a gun.
Yeah, I do give them a gun.
I don't have any candy, but Igot lots of guns.

Speaker 1 (52:28):
So Gamble keeps investigating exactly what the
thieves were doing when theytook such a small amount of
diamonds and escaped using a20-story, military-grade zipline
.
Lindo Global set up the robberyso that they could break into
their accountant firm and cookthe books.

Speaker 2 (52:43):
I feel like you're only here for the zipline.

Speaker 1 (52:45):
Yeah, I like, because it was like they only stole
like $47,000 in diamonds andthey're like there's millions of
dollars of diamonds.
Why wouldn't they steal morethan just $47,000 in diamonds?
And they're like there'smillions of dollars of diamonds,
why wouldn't they steal morethan just $47,000?
I'd take $40,000.
$47,000.
I'd take $4,000 right now.
So Woodson and Gamble thenreunite and decide that to get

(53:06):
back on the boss's good graces,that they really need to go
after Urshan.
Like literally, it's the lastthing you need to do yeah,
because he told them twice notto go after him More than twice,
like four times at this point,yeah, which is just like a play
on you know cops that always getkicked off the case, or like
you can't go.
It's like how many times inthis movie are you going to tell

(53:26):
them they?

Speaker 2 (53:26):
can't do it if we fire them.

Speaker 1 (53:29):
So Gamble reveals that Ershon is covering his
tracks by using two accountingfirms and that he needs to be
arrested for grand larceny.
Hoyts tells Gamble that there'sno longer, that he's no longer
interested in the case and thathe enjoys working traffic.
Then Gamble then forces Hoytsat gunpoint that he needs his
partner to be on his caseApartment pop, because they're

(53:51):
like in his apartment and theyturn up music and they're like
whispering.

Speaker 2 (53:59):
It's like it might be bugged.
It's like what are you talkingabout?

Speaker 1 (54:01):
I know, and then they go under the bed, yeah and he's
like, first off, I miss you, Imiss you, and then, hoits, I
actually kind of miss you too.

Speaker 2 (54:05):
Thank you, I love it so sweet um so it's like the
buddiest thing you could do.
Yeah, I know a conversationunder the bed.

Speaker 1 (54:17):
Yeah, it's like you just kind of want to start like
giggling a little bit.
So Hoytzengem will then go toconfront the captain while
working at his alternate job atBed Bath.
Beyond, the captain is workingwith the second job to pay his
son's obscene college tuition,and then to pay his son's
obscene college tuition.
And then we see him there.
It's the captain.
We got a big day out there, bigone.

(54:37):
We got a full moon.
People are going to be amped.
All right, let's see.
Bathbats are in.
Let's see what we got on tipsAll right Whoa, the new bathbats
are in Excited chattering andthe captain One more thing we

(55:06):
got a serial rapist in crownhats.
I, oh geez, I'm sorry that's formy other job.
Ignore that, forget that.
Well, don't, unless you livethere walking parents.
Yeah, oh god, use the buddysystem.
Yes, so they talk to thecaptain.
The captain allows them to go,but they can't make any noise
because he was just trying tokeep him off because he knew
that there was really big peoplethat could, you know, hurt them
if they kept suing the case thequietism house.
He wants them to do it and tomake them proud.
He's like I want you to make meproud, I don't want no scrubs.
They're like wait, you did itagain.

(55:28):
It's like that's TLC, it's likeI really have no idea what you
guys are talking about.
Like I don't even know what TLCis.
I don't get the joke, I don'tget the reference.
It's like you just all right,so be quiet out there.
You got to creep Creep.
It's like no one ever sayscreep creep like that unless
they're quoting TLC.
It's like, guys, I still haveno idea what you're talking
about.
On the download so good.

(55:51):
So Hoyt and Gamble formulate aplan to take down Arshon by
confronting him at hisconstruction company.
At Arshon's company, he ishaving a meeting with his
stockholders about the company'sfuture.
One of the investors happens tobe fellow officer Bob.
Poor fucking Bob.
They braided earlier about theproxy vote.
They wouldn't listen to it atall.

Speaker 2 (56:12):
Yeah, they braided earlier about the proxy vote
they wouldn't listen to it atall.

Speaker 1 (56:14):
Yeah, they wouldn't listen.
Hoyt says come to a revelationthat they are targeting the
police pension fund and not thelottery.
Yeah, yeah, it turns out thatGamble was right with his theory
that the jewelry heist thatDanson and Highsmith were
chasing was just a distractionfor an even bigger robbery that
was taking place behind thescenes involving Ershon.
And then it essentially allgoes wrong.
A massive shootout ensues.

(56:36):
They get in a car chaseinvolving urshan and gamble the.

Speaker 2 (56:38):
The shootout in this office is incredible.
Yeah, there's so many flyingpapers.
Yeah, he throws up one stack ofpapers.
I think it's just like I don'tknow.
It's like the sky is raining itstarts raining paper.
Yeah, that's what happens whenyou shoot, when you throw paper
up during a gunfight, and thenyou shoot it and just more paper
happens and then, like MarkWahlberg, is like sliding

(57:02):
backward on the conference tablefor some reason shooting people
.
It's ridiculous.

Speaker 1 (57:09):
It's wild.
So after the car chase, theythen take Ershon to his very
small apartment, urshan revealsthat he uses for family and
prostitutes Not at the same time.

Speaker 2 (57:20):
that'd be wrong.
That would be wrong.

Speaker 1 (57:23):
I guess if you're quiet.
So Urshan reveals that a moneytransfer is going to be involved
and that the pension moneyinvolved goes directly to his
account and then into offshoreaccounts.
Gamble then goes to reconcilehis differences with Sheila,
while Hoyt goes to reconcile hisdifferences with his girlfriend
.
Hoyt says he will be there forSheila if something happens to

(57:45):
them.

Speaker 2 (57:46):
That's so funny.
It's like seriously.

Speaker 1 (57:47):
I will take care of her.
All her needs and pleasures Iwill take care of.
That's a good friend.
Yeah Gamble then goes to hishouse and reconciles with sheila
.
He calls her and they decide touse sheila's grandma, why were
they?

Speaker 2 (58:01):
doing that who was in the house people were staking
out his house so they didn't tofind him, oh, so he wouldn't get
seen by the bad guys, and sosheila's grandma is going to
relay information back and forth.

Speaker 1 (58:13):
It starts tame at first, but then they start
having.

Speaker 2 (58:15):
No, it doesn't.
It starts off with like as in.

Speaker 1 (58:18):
Like, the first four words are tame, and then they
start having her say a lot ofdirty stuff.
She wants to unplug all theclocks and phones and have a
three day sex marathon.
I don't want to walk right fora week, please don't make me say
these things, but she soldierson.
That's the mother-in-law youneed, and then the grandma

(58:41):
finally decides she's done.
Then Sheila walks out, dressesGam Gam and kisses her, and then
they have sex.

Speaker 2 (58:48):
I'm about to break her hip.
The walker.

Speaker 1 (58:51):
Takes off the wig.
I'm about to take grandma style.
Goddamn, that was great, it'sgreat.
So the next morning it's timefor the bank transfer.
Gamble, of course, has theproper soundtrack and his lame

(59:12):
taste in easy listening.
Music once again prevails.
Gamble then shocks everyonewith some high-speed driving in
his prius, but it ends badlywhen they get into a horrific
accident.

Speaker 2 (59:21):
He's like how'd you learn to do that grand theft
auto?
And then, when the bad guy seeshim doing it, he's like, oh,
he's been playing grand theftauto someone's been playing
grand theft auto.

Speaker 1 (59:35):
Uh, but they survived the accident.
Uh, thanks to gamble'sjackknifing abilities, because
he crashes the two yeah, he hitsthe back wheel meanwhile some
of the officers are giving alecture to some school kids
about police work and decidingto bring one of the kids along.

Speaker 2 (59:51):
man, and the next time we see him gun, gun, gun
because they handed out likeguns and then next time we see
him Gun gun gun.

Speaker 1 (59:54):
Come here, my gun Quick, Because they handed out
like guns.
And then next time we see themdriving with a kid in the back.

Speaker 2 (59:58):
It's just like flying in the back no seatbelt.

Speaker 1 (01:00:01):
Yeah, during chase, suddenly a helicopter starts
shooting at the Prius.
They're like oh a helicopter.

Speaker 2 (01:00:10):
That's cool.

Speaker 1 (01:00:10):
Yeah, and they lose them.
Then they're followed by a hugeflock of police cars but manage
to escape by hiding in adouble-level parking lot.
Ershon is then pursued byanother group of shady people.
The chase ends with them on agolf course driving range and
they manage to destroy thehelicopter by having the golfers
hit the helicopter.

Speaker 2 (01:00:31):
Because they just hit anything that's out there.

Speaker 1 (01:00:33):
Yeah, apparently, that's what you do Like when the
golfers hit the helicopterBecause they just hit anything
that's out there.
Yeah, apparently that's whatyou do, like when the golf cart
goes out there, they hit theballs.

Speaker 2 (01:00:37):
That's what you do, you're supposed to hit them, I
know, but the idea that theywould say hit your balls on a?

Speaker 1 (01:00:43):
helicopter.
He's like hey, I'm a cop, aimfor the helicopter, but sadly
it's the end for the Prius.
Oh, it's the end for the Prius,prius RIP, one of the best cars
in the biz the movie biz.
So they managed to get Ershonto the transfer to stop it.
But Roger Wesley makes it thereto make sure the transfer goes

(01:01:03):
through.
They try to get the upper hand.
But what Like?
Yeah, because he's like Hoyt'sis like two one and like
dismantles everybody.
And then Campbell's like howwas I supposed to know what
that's, what that meant?

Speaker 2 (01:01:20):
Ershon's like.
I knew it even.

Speaker 1 (01:01:21):
I knew it even so, but they have Ershon.
He's like, ha, you can't shoothim now.
And then they just shoot allthree of them.
He's like I can still use himwounded, yeah, and shoots all
three of them.
He's like I can still use himwounded.
And then he's about to forcethe transfer to go through, but
the captain and the rest of thepolice force show up to save him

(01:01:41):
.
Yay, gamble.
And then Gamble looks like thecaptain goes to Gamble and it
looks like he's dying.
It's like you're going to beokay, he passes out.

Speaker 2 (01:01:51):
He's dying.

Speaker 1 (01:01:52):
I'm just resting.
It's so funny it you're goingto be okay.
He passes out.
He's dying.

Speaker 2 (01:01:55):
No, I'm just resting, fine, it's so funny, it's just
the face of Michael.

Speaker 1 (01:02:00):
Keaton makes whatever he thinks he's dying he's dying
and the captain is proud of him.
Oh, what a day Good thing,because he doesn't accept no
scrubs.
He does so, ershon is arrestedand taken into custody.
It's revealed that he is usinghis time in prison to make
investments and further hisshading accounting practices,
because now he's usingcigarettes.
Hoist and Gamble are held asheroes for their ability to

(01:02:23):
bring Ershon to justice.
Thankfully, gamble's smartphoneapp was able to nail most of
the criminals involved in thetransfer, because fat face.

Speaker 2 (01:02:30):
What was the app in?
It's always or not, it's alwaysfunny, but Arresteded the new
season of Arrested Developmentthat came out with a different
director, the son.
Face Blur, face Blur.
I thought no, it was Face Block.
Face Block yeah or somethinglike that.
Yeah, he started with a block,the instrument, yeah, and then
it turned into something else,and then it ended up not being

(01:02:51):
anything for her, her face back,Face back something like that.
It was like the same app.

Speaker 1 (01:02:56):
Yeah, it was like either you'd see their face and
then the app shows you the backof their head or the back of
their head shows you the face.

Speaker 2 (01:03:04):
Whatever this one was is the opposite of the thing.

Speaker 1 (01:03:07):
It has to be a joke.
So Hoyt manages to marry hisgirlfriend and wanted Sheila to
be his best man, but shedeclines for very obvious
reasons, and I love that.
Gamble's not even a best manStill about it.
So their next case, they findout, involves the biggest shady
investment firm in the world,Goldman Sachs, God damn.

(01:03:29):
And where Gamble once againmanages to attract another hot
woman Damn.
And where Gamble once againmanages to attract another hot
woman While leaving.
Hoyts very badly wants to knowwhat Gamble's secret is.
And Gamble reveals who he losthis virginity to, none other
than supermodel Heather.

Speaker 2 (01:03:41):
Locklear.

Speaker 1 (01:03:43):
The film ends with a monologue from the narrator
Ice-T about how every policedepartment is the same.
You have your star officers,you have your 9-to-5 officers
and there's these guys.

Speaker 2 (01:03:55):
The other guys and then the peacock flying.

Speaker 1 (01:03:59):
Yeah, and during the credits we're shown a slideshow
presentation set to the tune ofCleet See low greens Pimps don't
cry about billionaires, incomeinequality, stock swindlers and
Bernie Madoff.

Speaker 2 (01:04:18):
And then there's all the people who got government
funds, funds when the marketcrashed and got bailouts yep,
and yeah, maybe this actuallyhappened.

Speaker 1 (01:04:23):
Yeah, right, it's like this, is this real?

Speaker 2 (01:04:25):
it would be so easy for all of this to happen.
Yeah, and it goes into like theceo.
Uh salary versus like thelowest employee, it's like go.
I like that illustration, it'slike the chart the graph.
The elevators like going way,way up.

Speaker 1 (01:04:46):
Yeah, oh god that made me so I know it's like it's
always.
It's it like fits and doesn'tfit at the same time, because
it's like, fuck dude, we weretrying to have a fun movie here
and then all of a sudden you'rejust going to hit us with this
knowledge.
Blast me with all these fuckingrich people that have never
nothing bad ever happened tothem.

Speaker 2 (01:05:04):
And at the end of the movie, the, the lady who was in
charge of Lindell global.
She got off scot-freecompletely, Completely.

Speaker 1 (01:05:16):
Everything was a-okay because of a bell out, yeah, um
.
And then we get a in-creditscene where walberg tells a joke
that doesn't land, but then werealize it's just a blooper oh
yeah, that was the.

Speaker 2 (01:05:26):
The bloopers were kind of funny.
Well, like when there's oneright there in the chinese
restaurant, he's like shin shin,like saying thank you.
I didn't see the bloopers.
Oh, maybe it saw it onsomething else, but I thought it
was on this movie.
Yeah, I mean it might be.

Speaker 1 (01:05:38):
I just I don't know.
I own the movie.
I don't know why I didn't watchthe DVD and watch the bloopers.
I'm going to do that after.

Speaker 2 (01:05:44):
But like Walker, Oliver cracks up when he's
speaking Chinese.

Speaker 1 (01:05:47):
Yeah, oh, ted.
So that's the end of the otherguys.
We're going to hit our first oftwo categories the good, the

Speaker 1 (01:06:42):
That's what I like about uh adam mckay's movies.
They always have so many funnypeople in them even like when
they get more serious, liketowards his, like last three
movies like it's filled withcomedic performance, comedic
actors doing like kind of beingserious.
But if you have a still find away to make.
If you have a comedic act actor, there's still, there's still
be a way of it being kind offunny, you kind of just think

(01:07:04):
it's funny, because you know whothey are, yeah, and like I
don't know.
I feel like comedic actors arealso really good actors and we
just don't give them credit forit because they're always just
in comedies and we don't respectcomedies like we respect dramas
and other things, sure, yeah,yeah.
So what do you got the for?

Speaker 2 (01:07:19):
the bad bad that they introduced.
Part of the partly good is thatthey introduced dirty mike and
the boys, which I think is oneof the most influential things
that's ever been made.
Yeah, but bad, because everyonenamed Mike now is called Dirty.

Speaker 1 (01:07:36):
Mike.
I don't see how that's a badthing.
I don't either.
If my name is Mike, please callme Dirty Mike.

Speaker 2 (01:07:43):
You got to change your name to Michael.
Why should I change my name?
He's the one who sucks, yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:07:50):
Mine the bad it's classic, classic Jesse move.
It's like an hour and 50minutes long.
Let's, let's bump it down to anhour.
That's all I gotta say.
No, really there's.
I don't really have anythingbad about the movie.
I love this movie, so I don'thave anything bad about it.
The only thing I can come upwith is you know, comedy should
be around an hour 40.

Speaker 2 (01:08:10):
Well, I will say that maybe for the ugly as well,
that asking my spouse to watchthis with me she's like oh, mark
walberg is so problematic rightnow and that sucks for sure,
and like the way they talk aboutwomen sucks yeah but it's funny
.

Speaker 1 (01:08:29):
It really is, and you know it's a joke it's also a
little play off of cop moviesand stuff yes a lot of this
stuff is very and but I feellike that kind of makes it okay.
Yeah, I mean, if it's kind ofbeing, if it's being a parody
you're parodying of course stufflike the classic you know, like
with uh will ferrell'scharacter and uh, I thought you

(01:08:52):
were going to say Gandalf?

Speaker 2 (01:08:53):
No, I almost did.
That's why I decided to sayWill Ferrell.

Speaker 1 (01:08:56):
But like the whole, oh, the cop has like a wife that
like he doesn't respect andlove Right.
And it's like super spoken, hot, yeah, and like every movie
like the cops is like always gotlike a perfect wife and it's
just like treat her with respect.
It's like done to the most likeobscene level here.

(01:09:17):
Of course, for my ugly, I putway too many people like
people's view on Adam McKay nowbecause he keeps getting
nominated for Oscars.
People would love his moviesprobably if they weren't
nominated for Oscars.
So we should chill out.
Yeah, but I do get.
I do kind of wish you'd go backto like a movie like this where
it's just like really silly andit's not like super about
politics and money andcorruption, even though it was

(01:09:41):
all about money and corruption,but like in the funnest way.

Speaker 2 (01:09:44):
Yeah, I really like how he kind of turned the buddy
cop drama like on its head.
Yeah that's incredible.
Yeah, it's great, so funny, soI love.

Speaker 1 (01:09:52):
Yeah, that's kind it's so funny.
That's what I love.
That's kind of what my fun isTurning Adam McKay and his
ability to take stories likethat and just make them so funny
he's such a good comedicdirector.

Speaker 2 (01:10:11):
Yeah, you expose all the bullshit, but you kind of
add these two adorable funnyactors and it just kind of makes
it work.
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (01:10:14):
It's fun, all right.
So we're gonna hit our nextcategory double feature.
So we recommend a moviealongside this movie.
What do you got?

Speaker 2 (01:10:24):
uh well, just like anytime I see a wands person, I
think of major pain yes.
Yes, chugga, chugga, cheep,cheep.
A little engine that could yes.

Speaker 1 (01:10:37):
I can't feel my legs.
You ain't got no legs I got torewatch that.
I wonder if it's so funny.
It's got to be right.

Speaker 2 (01:10:47):
It certainly is hilarious, although it is
different watching it afterbeing in the military than
before.

Speaker 1 (01:10:51):
Yeah, You're just like oh, I'd actually hate this
guy, all those kids are doingpush-ups, wrong yeah.
Ugh, I hate kids doing wrongpush-ups.
I chose the film the Big Short,the next movie by Adam McKay.
It's so good and heartbreakingand makes you hate life.
And it's another movie filledwith comedic actors, but the

(01:11:11):
leads, or, like the main buildactors, are Christian Bale, nice
, steve Carell.
Fuck Ryan Gosling.

United States mortgage market.
In their research, theydiscover how flawed and corrupt
the market is.
