The Sandlot serves as the principal focus of our discourse, wherein we delve into its nostalgic portrayal of childhood adventures and the indelible impact of summer memories. This cinematic gem, released in 1993, encapsulates the essence of youthful exuberance, as it narrates the escapades of a group of boys who navigate the trials of friendship, fear, and the pursuit of identity through the lens of baseball. As we traverse the film’s narrative, we find ourselves sidetracked by personal anecdotes from our own formative years, providing a rich tapestry of reflections that resonate with the film's themes. The conversation not only celebrates the film's humor and heart but also evokes a profound sense of longing for simpler times, when the world outside beckoned with possibilities and adventures awaited at every turn. Join us as we explore both the cinematic and personal landscapes shaped by The Sandlot.

erotic streaming.

My name is J.J.
(00:40):
crowder.
I'm here with my co host Matt Senheiner.
I'm back.
Better Red Than Dead and Alec Burgess.
Let's get it.
We appreciate you tuning in.
Go and hit that.
Follow subscribe.
Like bell notification buttons.
Tell a friend about us.
Tell a family member about us.
Tell us some baseball players.
Little league baseball playersabout us.
(01:01):
That'll be as close as you'reprobably gonna find these days when
it comes to baseball.
But we will appreciate them listening.
Don't make them too youngbecause we are a little offensive
for young years.
But with all that said, we'rein week three of summer kickoff Summer
movies.
It's crazy to think about weekthree of June.
And yeah, we are off and running.
(01:23):
And we're keeping it up withthe sand lot.
It was released April 7, 1993,was written and directed by David
Mickey Evans.
It stars.
Let me gear up for this.
Tom Geary, Mike Vitar, ArtLaFleur, Patrick Rena, Chauncey Leopardi,
Marty York, Brandon QuentinAdams, Grant Yelt, Shane Obodzinski.
(01:46):
Why'd you ever have a shittyname like that?
Victor Demadia, Dennis Learyand James Earl Jones with Karen Allen
and a whole ton more, funnilyenough, including my brother in law's
ex wife and his sister are inthis movie.
So yeah, there it is.
This movie is about the summerof 62.
(02:07):
A new kid in town is takenunder the wing of a young baseball
prodigy and his rowdy team,resulting in many adventures.
I feel like that's like suchan shitty synopsis in general.
It's really bad.
But yeah.
All right, Matson, I thinkthis was your pick, right?
I believe it was.
(02:28):
I mean, when we're talkingabout summer movies and I mean this
the kid, his biggest fearinitially is he moved in right before
the summer and he says didn'treally have time to make friends.
And thinking back to yourchildhood, I mean, that would put
the fear of God in me if I moved.
Like right at the end of theschool, you're like, oh, like how?
(02:48):
What am I gonna do?
Especially back in the day,not nearly as hard as people Actually
played outside.
Like.
Like that's all I did.
Like we played hockey, roadbikes, playground, he.
All kinds of stuff, RC cars.
But these days, like kids evengo outside.
I don't really see them anymore.
(03:10):
Like, they just play on thevideo games, hop on the line.
But this movie makes me thinkof summer and especially the pool
scene.
I mean, just what cinematicgold that gets me every time.
Makes me laugh every little.
Every pre pubescent or earlypubescent boy's dream of swaddling
(03:32):
an older girl and making yourcrush dreams come true.
And later on he actuallymarried the girl, so, you know, like
doing it right.
But to me, there's just somuch to like about this movie.
You got your career, freesummer, a kid trying to find his
identity and in his confidenceand then wrapped up in another good
thing you do in your childhoodis you believe in legends and rumors
(03:55):
and you make something biggerthan what it is.
And I love the Beast.
And I also like that the Beastturns out to be a lovable giant.
And at least 2 of the peopleon this podcast are big time dog
lovers.
So always good to see aslobbering mouth.
But so much to say about this movie.
(04:15):
But I just, I've always likedit because I saw it when I was young
and not like I'm the biggestbaseball fan, but I just think there's
a lot to like about it and itjust makes me laugh and makes me
smile and makes me remember mychildhood and remember what summers
were like when you actuallyhad a summer and could do what you
want.
And I mean, I'd love to goback to that feeling because being
(04:40):
an adult sucks.
That's fair.
What about you, Alec?
You were a little young whenthis came out, and by that I mean,
you weren't even born yet, right?
Yeah, I don't think so.
I was born 93, so.
Same year.
Yeah.
Yeah.
But I think it beat me.
That's fair.
That's fair.
Full days.
What I really like about thismovie is how much it stood the test
(05:02):
of time.
So it's crazy now that, like,these kids are grown up, right?
And they are in many ways moreclosely tied to baseball than several
professional baseball playersare tied to baseball.
And that's pretty cool.
(05:23):
Like they.
They struck lightning in abottle with the Sandbot in terms
of cheesy kid movies that justwill not go away and only seem to
get bigger and bigger thelonger it's been out.
It's crazy.
And I mean, it's never a badtime to sit down, watch Sandlot heavily
(05:43):
quotable.
Just super entertaining.
And you never leave feeling upset.
So cool.
I love it.
It's true.
I mean, to that point, the kid that.
The curly redhead kid, the one that.
Says the Great Hambino.
Yeah.
Thank you.
(06:04):
It was like a month ago or something.
I wish I could remember it more.
He.
They did some paired with himat a base like a MLB baseball stadium
and he showed up and like himand I think one or two other people
from sandlot and they just didthat like a month ago or something.
So it's.
I mean it's so deeply tied tobaseball war.
Yeah.
Well, he just recently was on.
(06:24):
He went and hit Savannah Bananas.
The Savannah Bananas?
Yeah.
Oh, did it.
Let me see.
That's like.
I mean they could bring themall back, but that'd be perfect.
That's like.
It was like made for him.
Well, so as you probably know,this was filmed in Utah and two years
ago.
Oh yeah, two.
(06:45):
This.
Yeah.
Filmed mostly up in Ogden, buta couple other places in Utah there.
In fact, I think the sandlotwas down by where the actual field
is still there.
And I think it was closer todown by you.
I don't remember where exactlyit's at, but where you were anyway.
Yeah, but like.
So two years ago and the.
(07:05):
The 30th anniversary orwhatever it was, they brought for
a Bees game.
Casey and I went to it.
They did.
They brought them the wholeteam back, I think, except for like
one guy.
Mlb.
I'd be like, oh, yeah, they do that.
But the Bees being like a AAAor whatever, that's surprising.
(07:26):
That's cool.
Yeah.
And it.
Mostly because it's.
It was the, you know, they'rethe Utah team, the Salt Lake team.
And then the fact that it wasfilmed here in Utah, they brought
them out.
It was like the 30th.
They were doing a whole lot of.
For it that year in 2003.
So it was pretty fun or 23 rather.
So it was pretty funny.
They.
But they came out and hung outafter the game like they were there
(07:48):
the whole game and like youcould go get autographs and take
pictures and.
And then they hung out for awhile after the game was over down
on the field and you could goout and it was cool.
Like we didn't hang around,but we did hang out, go and watch
the game and that's back whenwe were going to be games a little
bit more and then they movedthe stadium and it's just too far
to go now.
So for me anyway, I'm not thatMuch into lower level baseball.
(08:13):
Just go watch the OgdenRaptors and call it good.
But yeah, so it's.
For me, the sandlot like tookon a light.
Well, I grew up with thismovie because I was 12 when it came
out and I was still playing,you know, peewee baseball or I guess
I was getting into more ponyleague stuff.
But it.
Yeah, like I played baseballfrom the time I was 5 years old until
(08:37):
I graduated high school.
And so I love baseball.
And so this movie for me waslike this was on all the time as
a kid because it was funny, itwas relatable to me.
And yeah, and back then summer was.
I liked summer versus nowwhere I'm like, turn off the sun.
But the.
(08:58):
Yeah, back then I loved it.
So this was a great movie,great choice for this.
And then I moved out to Utah,ironically enough, between my junior
or sophomore and junior yearof high school in the summer, which
was terrible.
But then I found out like inlater on in life I.
Like I said my brother in lawwas talking about the fact that his
sister and ex wife are in thepool scene.
(09:21):
And like I've been to a bunchof the places where they filmed all
this stuff just by nature ofbeing here.
And I was like, I'm gonna gocheck out the sandlot field and I'm
gonna go check out Rick's.
Like we could go to the pooland we'll show you where it's at.
So it was wild.
Yeah.
But this, this movie is just fun.
Like there's no time that I'vewatched it that I just haven't been
(09:44):
thoroughly entertained and hada great time and.
Yeah.
What's your, what's yourfavorite scene, Jay?
If you had to pick one, whatgets you the most giggles?
Dude, it's the flashback scenein the freaking.
The.
In the tree house.
Like the forever.
Like that whole black andwhite where it's like that scene
(10:08):
just makes me giggle.
Like so when it comes tolaughs and funny, like that's Matt
said.
I don't know what to do.
Like I feel like we've movedfrom movie review podcast to like
erotic streaming.
I had that milking on yourfingers right now, dude.
It's just like.
Like how far back there dothose go, dude?
(10:31):
Like you got some skills.
I'm just saying.
20 bucks.
20 bucks, dude.
Sorry, I got.
Hey, for our podcastlisteners, if you're, if you're wanting
to see something, just jump on YouTube.
Yeah, let me save you the trouble.
Don't jump on YouTube for that.
(10:53):
I love that.
I mean there's so many scenes.
I mean, full scene for meprobably takes it, but the, the same
kid.
What's the kid with theglasses that he.
That Quince.
Did you even watch the movie?
Yeah, I did.
I just watched.
I just.
I don't.
I don't remember all the names.
I'm like JJ with some of thatstuff when he, when they're doing
the whole mission, they'retrying to retrieve the ball with
(11:14):
all the different ways.
I just love when like they get.
He's like, pull it up.
He's like.
Or he's like, you got it.
That always makes me laughbecause he's like, yeah.
And you're like.
But every time, he's like,he's so hopeful.
And then the Beast justobviously ruins plans.
(11:36):
And I love all the, the different.
I mean, it's so ludicrous.
Like the, the three vacuum thing.
I'm like, I don't even know.
Would that even work?
Probably not, but it looked cool.
All those different attempts,just pretty great.
And I love how they make theBeast with their.
(11:56):
All their memory and thethings they've seen, like, look like
it weighs like, I don't know,like it's a mountain lion that weighs
like 2,000 pounds or somethingand chucked out the.
The.
It's.
It's not Cult, it's not connects.
But the metal thing that theyuse, the little robot they made,
I'm like, I don't know howthat worked when obviously the dog's
(12:18):
not that big.
So did they, like, was thatpart of the lore?
Who knows?
But that's, that's a part of the.
I mean, it's just fun becausethat's the part of the movie I really
like, but I wanted to.
Jay, do you hate.
Did you.
Do you not like the narrationwhere they, they use that from time
to time to like fill in gapsof the story or is that passable
for you?
No, actually, like the storyrelies on it and to kind of tie into
(12:41):
what you were talking about.
The reason it makes sense.
Like, when I watch this movie,one of the things that I love the
most about it is the fact thatbecause we're getting it secondhand,
like, I can't tell you howmany times I tell stories from when
I was a teenage, like a young kid.
And it exaggerates and it grows.
Even though I'm a 44 year oldman, I'll still add in some, some
(13:03):
zest to a story here and therefrom when I was a kid.
And like, so the narrationmakes sense to me because it's this,
the adult version of himtelling this story.
And so as I look at it as akid, it was just a fun movie, right?
And it was just hilarious andI could relate to these kids.
And I would have probablytried to think of, can we connect
three vacuum cleaners to getenough suction to get a ball out
(13:24):
of this place, right?
Because we would have donedumb like that instead of just knocking
on the door and asking for the ball.
But as an adult watching it,like, it makes a ton of sense from
the perspective of this wasthe greatest summer of their lives
and it never was connected again.
And so these over the toppieces of storytelling, like, make
(13:45):
sense to me because, like, howmuch more fun is it if you're trying
to tell a bunch of kids thiscrazy story that's really on its
core, probably very boring.
You did a bunch of dumb andtried to get this ball back.
But when you add in the zestof it from your telling this story
and you're like, yeah, we putthree vacuum cleaners together into
one vacuum head and suck thatsucker up.
(14:06):
And then the beast like drugit under the fence and threw it over
and like, yeah, like I could just.
I love that aspect that it notonly applies when I'm a kid and it's
fun and interesting, I'm like,I want to go do all that.
But as an adult, I'm like,yeah, I embellish some like that
too.
Like it's especially dependingon your audience, right?
And he's talking, in myopinion, to kids because it's a kids
(14:28):
movie.
So he's got to make it moreinteresting and long lasting and
fun.
And so I love that aspectbecause it makes perfect sense in
this particular movie.
What I don't like is whensomeone gets lazy as and they're
like, well, I got a four hourmovie I want to make, but I need
to make it too.
So I'm gonna have this voicetell half the story in a voiceover
that drives me crazy.
(14:49):
But in this case, yeah, it's.
It's valid question.
Would you be.
Were you a trash talkerplaying sports?
Oh, yeah, dude, I playedcatcher three quarter probably half
the time I was in playingbaseball and I was absolutely just
like him.
Like I was talking constantlyand in high school, like, it's that
(15:13):
I wouldn't like repeat to my mother.
But in little kids stuff, itwas just like you didn't know what
to say.
So most of the time you'rejust like running your mouth.
I wish I was good at it as heis in the movie.
But yeah, like we.
I used to talk a lot of behindthe plate.
If I could distract somebody.
That was my.
I used to point out prettygirls as they'd walk by the like
stands or.
And I'd get real lucky if itwas one of their sisters because
(15:40):
then I'm Right.
Yeah.
Then I'm really distracted.
Yeah.
So.
But yeah.
Oh, yeah.
That was my favorite pastime.
Yeah.
You seem like you'd.
You'd be like the hambino andtrash talk it up.
Yeah.
When they play the, thebaseball team.
Pretty, pretty great.
When they just totally wax himand everyone plays great.
The other thing I, I alwaysforget and love is when.
(16:02):
Gosh, I can't remember themain character.
Not why am I forgetting his name.
So stupid.
Smalls.
Yeah.
And you're killing me.
Smalls.
Yeah, his hat that he wearsthat I'm like, did those hats exist?
Like, were those fishing hats?
Like, I've never.
I only see them in this movieand then like some old timey baseball
(16:22):
movies and they were a littlelonger even.
As long as that, like that hatalways gets from like, dude.
Yeah.
What in the world?
That's because back then theyweren't a fashion statement.
They were in the, in the 90swhen this movie was being made.
It was.
They were becoming a fashionstatement versus a baseball cap was
meant to keep the sun out ofyour eyes while you're playing baseball.
(16:45):
Now it's like bad luck.
It's all about the fashion statement.
But yeah, that's, that is ridiculous.
It gets me every single time.
Yeah, I love the differentaspects too.
Like, I laugh at the partwhere Benny hits the ball like into
his glove, like, and he likecan put it anywhere because that's
(17:06):
one of those things that to meis more ridiculous almost than a
dog throwing the crumpled upvacuum cleaner over the fence.
Yeah.
When he puts a little spit onhim, like, bro, that ain't putting
it right on the glove.
I'm sorry, but I love this.
But again, the storytellingaspect of it because like, I think
back when I was this ageliving in Ohio, we.
(17:26):
I played baseball, Littleleague baseball with a kid named
Misha Lang.
And I swear to you, like, wewere like 10, dude, 9 or 10 years
old when we were playing whenI was on the same team as Misha.
But the kid could throw theball hard.
Like he pitched.
And we had just startedgetting into like self pitch league
(17:49):
age and the kid was, he couldthrow the ball very hard.
So to another 8 or 9 year old,like it felt like he was throwing
a hundred miles an hour.
Kids probably throwing 30miles an hour.
But it felt like he.
So.
And he was really good acrossthe board at baseball as well.
Like, he was.
Yeah, he was just really good.
(18:09):
And so he would be that kid.
Like, when I would think back,like, I always go, oh, he's our Misha.
Because I talk about him now,I'm like, this kid was throwing 70
miles an hour in third grade.
And I'm like, I know it's.
But when I was a kid, like,he'd throw the bomb.
Like, man, if he hits me withthat, like, and he hit me once in
practice, and it left scenemarks on my knee.
Like, on the inside of my knee.
(18:30):
That's how hard he threw the ball.
But God bless.
Like, it wasn't.
But so I think about that.
That spot, and how Benny'sjust like, this superhero that can
do anything.
I'm like, that's so funny,because he was probably a phenomenal
baseball player.
He plays in the bigs at the end.
But I was gonna say, clearly,yeah, he was very good.
But it's.
It's so funny to me.
(18:50):
Yeah.
Like, that's another aspectthat I always smile at when I watch
this, like, knowing he wasn'tthat good.
Nobody.
Is the mom in this.
Is she in.
Is she the Indiana Jones chick from.
Yeah, but I didn't realize ittill this time.
I was like, wait, why didn't Ihave another piece that together?
Because I watched both thesemovies enough.
I should totally know that,but I never did for some reason.
Yep, that's her.
(19:10):
Yeah.
Good stuff.
And then I'll like.
I love the part where theyhave to trade in the baseball and
the.
It's.
It's funny.
He's in.
I should be able to.
I can't name his name rightnow, the actor, that he's.
Another baseball movie.
But it was like, they werejust like, oh, he did so good to
feel the dreams.
We just got to put him in Jones.
(19:31):
Yeah.
You were pulling your best JJimpression today.
I know, I know.
Maybe I don't want to accessmy brain right now, but I love him
in this movie, too, because.
Because you could.
I.
I guess he's blind, but, like,half the time, I'm like, I swear
he just can see.
And he's just, like, effingwith these kids and just having a
good time.
But, like, how giddy he isonce he finally realizes that he
(19:54):
can trade this ball and havepeople to talk to and all that.
Like, it gets me every time.
Like, he Just looks too danghappy because I'm used to him being
just like a grump.
But I love him.
Yeah, I love.
He's got one.
He's got maybe my favoriteline in this whole movie, arguably
the tard.
Because there's so many.
As Alec pointed out, like,this thing is so wildly quotable.
(20:15):
But when he's like, Georgesigned this.
I'm not kidding.
You're not in trouble.
You're dead where you stand.
That line is just so good to me.
But yeah, for a two minuteclip, like, he absolutely steals
the show like that.
And that's the, the talent ofJames Earl Jones.
But like, I love that parttoo, where they go in and they're
(20:36):
actually talking to him andhim telling the story of Tate getting
hit in the.
In the head and going blind.
Yeah, it's.
It's great.
And I love his first.
Like, why didn't you just comeask me?
Because that's such a.
Like, and that.
So when I was a little kidagain in Ohio, we.
I used to live across thestreet from my cousin, and next door
(20:56):
to him was these family withtriplets, the Gordon girls.
And then right next to themwas this old lady.
And I don't remember her name,which is unfortunate, but she had
this big garden in this biglush backyard with the garden in
it and the corn was alwaysgrowing and stuff.
Well, all three of thesebackyards, my cousins and then the
(21:18):
Gordon family, their backyards connected.
And they didn't have fencesback there.
It was just you could walkfrom one backyard to the other, and
there wasn't a road betweentheir house and the houses behind
them.
They were connected backyards.
Unless they put a fence up.
Well, the old lady had put afence up.
And we used to play baseball,Wiffle ball, more often than not.
(21:40):
So we didn't break windows inthe backyard of my cousin Robbie
and his family and then theGordon's backyard, they used to let
us come over and use their backyard.
We would.
We'd play one more likecricket than baseball really, because
we just have one base.
It was long base, but we.
Every time we hit a baseballor a wiffle ball into the old lady's
(22:00):
yard, it was the same reaction.
I won't go in over there.
She's gonna be so mad.
She's just this little oldlady, dude.
But at 10 years old, you'relike, I'm not going to knock it on
her door if we just lostanother wiffle ball, boys.
For us, we played baseball,but it was mainly hockey in some
soccer but we always playedNicole de Sac.
We had these Russian neighbors.
They're still there.
(22:20):
They've lightened up quite a bit.
But I don't think they understood.
When they first moved in, ourneighborhood was chocked full of.
It was a new neighborhood, andso it was just kids galore.
Like, everybody was out.
Like, most of the neighborhoodwas playing hockey.
One time they decided to callthe cops on us playing hockey in
the cul de sac.
And I remember the cops came.
The only thing they said atthe end was, like, hey, you all should
(22:41):
be playing with helmets.
And they just left becausewhat are they gonna do?
Like, we're just playinghockey in the cul de sac.
And then they also called thecops on 4th of July when everyone
was using illegal fireworks.
And every of the cops can.
We're like, yeah, bye.
(23:02):
Funny how neighbors will do so.
But the soccer.
My.
He actually used to be mylittle peewee soccer coach Juan,
our neighbor.
That's still there as well.
This I feel bad about, becausenow being a homeowner, I'd be pretty
pissed.
We played soccer in our yardand used his.
The side of his yard as a goalbecause he had these two, like, trees
that worked out perfectly thatwere, like, ferns.
But, yeah, he ended upplanting bushes in the middle of
(23:24):
them, I think to.
Because before they werethere, when we'd shoot, like, we
were shooting, and it justsmashed into his siding.
Like, we made debt.
Like, just actually.
And then he planted bushes,which helped.
But then I thought.
I was like, man, we really didhave dirty.
Because we, like, physicallybeat his house.
And now being, like, ahomeowner, I'd be like.
I would have been.
(23:44):
I've been, like, really mad.
He was a good sport about it.
But, like, I'm sure they'rejust sitting in their house.
I was like, what?
Yeah, that's a face dude right there.
Yeah.
Like, he.
Yeah, very much so.
To the point now I.
We.
We've told him how sorry wewere, and he just.
I mean, he's a great guy.
(24:04):
Just laughs it off.
But, yeah, that one.
I'm like, yeah.
Being a kid used.
It's so funny.
I think about now and the.
That we used to do when wewere kids.
Like, there's no way we getaway with it today.
Like, when I like saying, mycousin Robbie, My older cousin Robbie
lived directly across thestreet from us in Ohio, and we used
(24:27):
to get tennis balls and tennisrackets, and we would play tennis
across the street because itwas a quiet little Midwestern street
in the middle of nowhere.
Ohio.
And so we would play 10, andthen if car would come, we'd stop,
right?
Well, one day we figured outon accident, I think, because I got
pissed and I grabbed a rockand I hit it with the tennis racket.
(24:49):
That you could send a rock areally long way with a tennis racket.
So we started just blastingthese things, and they would go so
far, we're like, oh, we're not hitting.
You know, you're a kid, youdon't recognize the fact that there's
still houses as far away asyou're hitting these rocks.
And eventually, some neighborcame down again.
(25:09):
It's amazing I didn't get inmore trouble if some neighbor came
down to our houses and waslike, we don't know how it's happening,
but it's coming from your place.
And we could hear him out running.
But we're.
We got dings in our cars andfrom rocks getting sent all the way
until finally I got my assripped for.
Because we would.
We just grab these tennisrackets and just swing our nuts off
(25:31):
on these rocks and send them.
And.
Very similar.
We had a power generator withbushes around my buddy Houston.
They lived in, like, one ofthose long driveways that split in
two, but they had a generatorout front, right next to the.
The main neighborhood road.
And we just, like this.
Long story short, things justgot progressive worse until we decided
(25:53):
we're just gonna throw rocksat cars.
And then, oh, yeah, end uphitting a.
I remember it's a red car, andI just remember the door opening
and the person got out.
I ran into what we called thecommon grounds, which is, like this
big, like, drainage area.
And then there was, like, aforest and a playground.
Person never found me.
But that was the last time wethrew rocks, because that was.
(26:14):
I was like, well, I want someadult chasing after me.
And then the only other did alot of dumb things, the one that
makes me laugh, I used to havea bow and arrow, like a compound
bow that is shot at a target.
But, like, JJ talks, you justget progressive.
Like, oh, I'm doing this.
I should just do something.
Like, I got bored with the target.
You're like, I should shootsomething else.
Like, I could do better.
(26:35):
And so they.
We.
I used to have a forest behindmy house, but then they built these
homes, and we had these twoneighbors behind us, and we used
to have our trampoline there.
But then they got annoyedbecause we had so many people that
would come.
So we ended up taking that down.
So didn't vibe with that neighbor.
Like, and wasn't enjoying it.
But for whatever reason, Idon't know what I was thinking, I
(26:56):
decided I'm gonna shoot thisarrow, like, close to this house.
Long story short, I don't knowwhat I was thinking.
I shot it, like, high enoughup where it was in their siding hanging
out.
And I didn't.
I was like, I can't tell them.
Like, I.
There's no way I'm gonna tell them.
So I remember I got a.
(27:16):
A ladder and, like, a reallylong pole, and I knocked it out of
the siding and never told them.
To this day, never did.
And they.
They finally replaced thesiding, but it was like a very.
It was a sizable chunk.
Like, if you looked, you'd belike, what the freak happened to
my siding right here?
Like, just never told him.
(27:37):
Never told anybody.
I guess I told the world now.
But, yeah, that was the.
Probably one of.
And I still.
I don't.
I don't remember if I was with friends.
I think was just me.
And I don't know what I was thinking.
Like, what was I doing?
But, like, I just remember thevisual hanging.
I was like, oh, man.
Like, I gotta.
I gotta go address that.
Yeah, the.
(27:58):
We did stand lot, baby, allday long.
Stupid stuff we do.
But that's why I love themovie, because it makes me think
about childhood shenanigansand playing sports with their friends
outside.
And if there is anyone fromthe younger generation, I don't think
anyone listens to us that areyoung enough that are still out doing
this.
But, like, go outside.
(28:18):
Go have some fun.
Like, don't just be stuck inyour video game system or watching
social media.
I think that's the sad thing today.
Is go shoot arrows at your neighbors.
Why not?
Why not hit rocks with a racket.
With a rat?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I mean, I just don't see kids out.
(28:40):
This doesn't really happen anymore.
I mean, we used to becausethey're smarter than us.
Well, that's fair too.
We used to get in BB gun fights.
That's because we didn't haveshit to do.
Like, I beat the Nintendo gameand mom and dad aren't gonna buy
me a new one, so I gotta go dosome shit or dad wants to take a
nap.
So he literally kicked my assout of the house and locked the fucking
door.
And even when I was thirsty,he told me to go drink from the fucking
(29:02):
spigot.
So it's like, yeah, that's howI live.
Don't throw firecrackers at geese.
Yeah, say that they're muchmore intimidating than they look.
They hurt too.
Yeah.
Yeah, they're mean.
The best part is you can'ttell if you were talking about the
firecracker or the geese.
Yes.
(29:24):
Also, don't throw golf ballsat swans.
You think geese are intimidating?
You should have a swan, which,by the way, is as tall as you, if
not taller.
When they're pissed and theirwings are out, there's a big ass
bird now.
I learned after the geese, Ihad an opportunity for some swans
(29:44):
when they put in the need.
No, no.
I was a little bit older,certainly wiser at that point.
Did not.
Did not make the attempt onthat one.
I learned about swans, andthen as an adult, I broke into a
golf course to get in the pondto get free golf balls.
And the golf course was calledSwan Lakes for a reason.
(30:06):
We saw swans and decided wewere not gonna go get golf balls
by my urging, because I was.
I was like, I'm not going in there.
There's a swan in there.
The will eat you.
What dumb did you get up to, Alec?
I'm afraid, yeah.
Because I feel like there's,like, some jail time involved if
anybody.
The Statue of limitations hasabout two more.
(30:29):
Run.
We'll circle back.
That's great.
That's great.
Future episode the dumb thatAlec got J.J.
how many.
How many animals died underyour care?
Like.
Like me?
Mutilate.
You know what?
I shot a bird once when I was,like, 8 years old with a BB gun.
(30:52):
And I felt so bad about it.
I never actually killedanother animal until I was, like,
hunting or fishing or like,there was a purpose to it.
But, like, me just being anand be like, I got a BB gun and there's
a bird.
I only did that once, and it,like, tortured my soul, so I didn't
do it.
The only time I tried tointentionally kill something was
pigeons on my mission.
(31:14):
But in my childhood, I had some.
You know, like, you comeacross a turtle or.
Or like, baby birds when youthought their mother wasn't coming
back.
Those birds died because I fedthem, then put them out in, like,
a little fort.
Snakes ate them.
And then the mom came back thenext day, not even joking like that
one.
Still to this day, because Igo home and know right where they
(31:37):
were, and then right where themom flew out.
I'm like, oh, man.
Like, I can't believe I did that.
But the one that makes me feeleven worse is there was a turtle.
I was coming home fromelementary school.
I would think I was in fifth grade.
And I took it Home hung outwith it for like a week.
Put in my mom's, like, Jacuzzitub and had the mirror, gave it lettuce.
(31:57):
It was great.
Like, it was fun.
I was like, I should probably,like, you know, let's put it back.
So I was going in the bus.
I remember one of the days Ilet it out and remember coming home.
I was walked the same way.
And I was like, wait,something's a little pancaked on
the road.
No.
What could that be, dude?
It had to been the turtlebecause it looked just like the turtle.
(32:20):
The top of it, it was totallypancake flattened.
That was the last time I triedto take any wildlife under my care.
Because that one, I felt so bad.
I was like this.
I had a good time with it andjust totally flattened.
Like, oh, no, totally dead.
And I was devastated, like, that.
That thing did not deservewhat happened to it.
And it had to have died, like,very soon after I left.
(32:43):
Probably within minutes afterI got on the bus, like, because I
don't know, like, just felt terrible.
Not only that, but you upsomebody's tire and probably alignment
because hitting the turtles,like hitting a boulder.
Dude's terrible.
Felt I felt bad.
Yeah.
Like, my hamsters diedtragically as well.
(33:05):
That was my.
Wasn't my fault.
One blood in my hand.
The other my mom killedbecause it liked to hang out behind
our dryer with the lint.
And it wasn't coming out soon enough.
This was Bubba after Harry had died.
And my mom started to move thedryer and I guess punctured it with.
With the corner.
I'll never forget.
On the white linoleum flooring.
All of a sudden, a trail ofblood comes out and totally had killed
(33:28):
it right there.
And.
Wow.
Yeah.
Matt's gonna be living somethis episode.
Yeah.
No, Santa's bringing back.
Doing some trauma unpacking.
Yeah, I was.
Those hamsters, the.
I wasn't ready.
I did all.
I put them on trampolines andjumped them to, like, my height.
(33:48):
I put them in my old sister's dollhouse.
And I had to grease Bubba'sbutt because it started to get purple
to get him out with butterbecause he got stuck.
Oh, God.
Animal cruelty over here.
I know.
Hey, I'm great to him.
Bubbers.
He's a special dog.
But I had never had rodents oranything like that.
(34:10):
There's.
There's more stories I couldget into, but only a couple more.
But I was pretty cursed thingsthat I like animals that I found.
And I.
I don't do that.
Because it doesn't end well.
I think my parents knew Inever had.
I had a dog and that was it.
Like growing up.
Like we had little dogs and that.
I think my parents knew.
(34:30):
He's too bored.
He's too ADHD at the time.
Add, and he can't.
Like, he'll never take care of anything.
We barely get him to feed this dog.
So.
Yeah, I don't think I ever gotanything because of the fear that
I would probably.
And look at you now.
Your dogs are your life.
That's true.
That's true.
Yeah, we kind of gotsidetracked on sandlot, but I.
(34:53):
It was pretty funny, but.
Yeah, I don't even know whatelse to say.
We, like, spun sandlot intolike, childhood traumas.
Childhood good times.
Well, I didn't hear anythingabout Alex.
Fifth amendments from Alec.
Yeah.
Fifth.
Pleading the fifth and like.
Yeah, statute of limitations.
(35:13):
It's good times.
So sandlot.
You know what?
I will say this before we're done.
The sandlot, the one thing about.
Has always annoyed me aboutsandlot is the kid that repeats his
brother every goddamn time.
Oh, yeah.
Every goddamn time.
Yeah, exactly.
Yeah, yeah, but it's not.
Yeah, yeah, but no.
Yeah, he has the.
I know, I know.
(35:34):
I was trying to say.
Yeah, yeah.
What is the kid's name?
I don't.
I don't remember that.
Little Tommy.
Yeah.
I think it's Timmy.
And they call him like.
No, it's Tommy.
Repeat.
They call him Repeat.
Repeat.
Yeah.
I hate it.
That drives me nuts.
But there was always that kid.
Yeah.
And I would always be like,say it again.
(35:54):
When I was a kid.
Repeat my ass one more timeand see what happens.
Oh, all right, so we rate thismovie we barely talked about.
Let's do it.
All right, Matt, so kick usoff, buddy.
I mean, do we want to get thatdeep into the metaphor of sandlot?
I don't think so.
Yeah.
I don't know for what thismovie is.
I'm giving this movie A5.
(36:15):
I love this movie.
This movie.
I'll watch it anytime, anywhere.
Obviously it takes me down thetrips of memory lane, whether it's
a memory I really should behappy about or some that a little
more depressing when youreally think about what happened
and what little life that you crushed.
(36:35):
But I loved my summers, eventhough my mom would make me do a
bunch of like, cursive writingand math before I could go out and
do anything.
Which it was like basicallymini school, but not having homework
really.
And a sense of responsibility.
I think that's what I missmost about true summers when you
grew up.
I'd love to go back to thatright now, but so is the life of
(36:58):
being an adult.
But I think that's what thesandlot captures for me, is it transports
me back to a time in my life.
When you're that young, youwant to get old, but when you're
this old, you want to get young.
And the sandlot just makes me happy.
And I think, like JJ talkedabout, you always embellish stories,
especially those that are fromthat long ago and just a good time,
(37:20):
good watch, just makes me laugh.
And I'll watch it again real soon.
Alec, what about you, buddy?
Five.
Easy five.
Like, there's the, there's akid aspect.
It's fun, but you also have alittle bit of nice words of wisdom
in there as well.
Like from Art Lafleur.
(37:41):
Like quote sticks, to me isthe heroes and legends, right?
Heroes live forever.
Legends never die.
Legends never die.
That's.
That's some dope ass for asummer kids movie.
Yeah.
So, yeah, it's a five.
I'll watch this anytime, anywhere.
Easy.
Same.
It's a five.
Like there's, there's.
(38:01):
I.
No matter.
I could point out a couple ofdifferent things that always make
me smile and things that I'mlike, what?
And I still get giggles aboutthe fact that a pair of shoes like,
to them made a difference.
They're PF Flyers.
PF Flyers make a kid runfaster and jump higher.
And you're like, theybasically look the exact same.
(38:23):
And I think part of it too ismakes me laugh because I remember
being that thought like pumpswere gonna make me better at basketball.
Like, you know, I got a little ball.
Basketball pump on the frontof my shoe, so it's gonna make me
a better basketball player.
It didn't.
I was horrible at basketball.
So.
But yeah, like, there's a lotof nostalgia for this movie, but
it's still a lot of fun as an adult.
(38:43):
And I see different things.
Plus it's always fun to seepeople that I know in it.
And I forgot a friend of mine,Gabe was on the other baseball team
that they play.
So he.
Yeah, he's on it too.
And I, I laugh because healways talks about it and I'm like,
man, you talk a lot about that dude.
You almost 50 years old.
You gotta let that go.
(39:06):
But I, He's a.
I love that dude.
Gabe's funny.
So, yeah, that kind of stuff.
But it's just, it's just awhole, wholesome, fun, good movie
that I love to watch.
So five for me as well.
Man.
It's been a while since we'vehad a five across the board movie
that one or the other of us ormultiples didn't poo poo somebody
(39:27):
for giving it a five.
But yeah, there it is.
Sandlot.

erotic streaming.
Sorry I had that milking on your.
Fingers right now, dude.
It's just like.

Like, you got some skills.

judge and Jerry.
My name is J.J.
(00:40):
crowder.
I'm here with my co host Matt Senheiner.
I'm back.
Better Red Than Dead and Alec Burgess.
Let's get it.
We appreciate you tuning in.
Go and hit that.
Follow subscribe.
Like bell notification buttons.
Tell a friend about us.
Tell a family member about us.
Tell us some baseball players.
Little league baseball playersabout us.
(01:01):
That'll be as close as you'reprobably gonna find these days when
it comes to baseball.
But we will appreciate them listening.
Don't make them too youngbecause we are a little offensive
for young years.
But with all that said, we'rein week three of summer kickoff Summer
movies.
It's crazy to think about weekthree of June.
And yeah, we are off and running.
(01:23):
And we're keeping it up withthe sand lot.
It was released April 7, 1993,was written and directed by David
Mickey Evans.
It stars.
Let me gear up for this.
Tom Geary, Mike Vitar, ArtLaFleur, Patrick Rena, Chauncey Leopardi,
Marty York, Brandon QuentinAdams, Grant Yelt, Shane Obodzinski.
(01:46):
Why'd you ever have a shittyname like that?
Victor Demadia, Dennis Learyand James Earl Jones with Karen Allen
and a whole ton more, funnilyenough, including my brother in law's
ex wife and his sister are inthis movie.
So yeah, there it is.
This movie is about the summerof 62.
(02:07):
A new kid in town is takenunder the wing of a young baseball
prodigy and his rowdy team,resulting in many adventures.
I feel like that's like suchan shitty synopsis in general.
It's really bad.
But yeah.
All right, Matson, I thinkthis was your pick, right?
I believe it was.
(02:28):
I mean, when we're talkingabout summer movies and I mean this
the kid, his biggest fearinitially is he moved in right before
the summer and he says didn'treally have time to make friends.
And thinking back to yourchildhood, I mean, that would put
the fear of God in me if I moved.
Like right at the end of theschool, you're like, oh, like how?
(02:48):
What am I gonna do?
Especially back in the day,not nearly as hard as people Actually
played outside.
Like.
Like that's all I did.
Like we played hockey, roadbikes, playground, he.
All kinds of stuff, RC cars.
But these days, like kids evengo outside.
I don't really see them anymore.
(03:10):
Like, they just play on thevideo games, hop on the line.
But this movie makes me thinkof summer and especially the pool
scene.
I mean, just what cinematicgold that gets me every time.
Makes me laugh every little.
Every pre pubescent or earlypubescent boy's dream of swaddling
(03:32):
an older girl and making yourcrush dreams come true.
And later on he actuallymarried the girl, so, you know, like
doing it right.
But to me, there's just somuch to like about this movie.
You got your career, freesummer, a kid trying to find his
identity and in his confidenceand then wrapped up in another good
thing you do in your childhoodis you believe in legends and rumors
(03:55):
and you make something biggerthan what it is.
And I love the Beast.
And I also like that the Beastturns out to be a lovable giant.
And at least 2 of the peopleon this podcast are big time dog
lovers.
So always good to see aslobbering mouth.
But so much to say about this movie.
(04:15):
But I just, I've always likedit because I saw it when I was young
and not like I'm the biggestbaseball fan, but I just think there's
a lot to like about it and itjust makes me laugh and makes me
smile and makes me remember mychildhood and remember what summers
were like when you actuallyhad a summer and could do what you
want.
And I mean, I'd love to goback to that feeling because being
(04:40):
an adult sucks.
That's fair.
What about you, Alec?
You were a little young whenthis came out, and by that I mean,
you weren't even born yet, right?
Yeah, I don't think so.
I was born 93, so.
Same year.
Yeah.
Yeah.
But I think it beat me.
That's fair.
That's fair.
Full days.
What I really like about thismovie is how much it stood the test
(05:02):
of time.
So it's crazy now that, like,these kids are grown up, right?
And they are in many ways moreclosely tied to baseball than several
professional baseball playersare tied to baseball.
And that's pretty cool.
(05:23):
Like they.
They struck lightning in abottle with the Sandbot in terms
of cheesy kid movies that justwill not go away and only seem to
get bigger and bigger thelonger it's been out.
It's crazy.
And I mean, it's never a badtime to sit down, watch Sandlot heavily
(05:43):
quotable.
Just super entertaining.
And you never leave feeling upset.
So cool.
I love it.
It's true.
I mean, to that point, the kid that.
The curly redhead kid, the one that.
Says the Great Hambino.
Yeah.
Thank you.
(06:04):
It was like a month ago or something.
I wish I could remember it more.
He.
They did some paired with himat a base like a MLB baseball stadium
and he showed up and like himand I think one or two other people
from sandlot and they just didthat like a month ago or something.
So it's.
I mean it's so deeply tied tobaseball war.
Yeah.
Well, he just recently was on.
(06:24):
He went and hit Savannah Bananas.
The Savannah Bananas?
Yeah.
Oh, did it.
Let me see.
That's like.
I mean they could bring themall back, but that'd be perfect.
That's like.
It was like made for him.
Well, so as you probably know,this was filmed in Utah and two years
ago.
Oh yeah, two.
(06:45):
This.
Yeah.
Filmed mostly up in Ogden, buta couple other places in Utah there.
In fact, I think the sandlotwas down by where the actual field
is still there.
And I think it was closer todown by you.
I don't remember where exactlyit's at, but where you were anyway.
Yeah, but like.
So two years ago and the.
(07:05):
The 30th anniversary orwhatever it was, they brought for
a Bees game.
Casey and I went to it.
They did.
They brought them the wholeteam back, I think, except for like
one guy.
Mlb.
I'd be like, oh, yeah, they do that.
But the Bees being like a AAAor whatever, that's surprising.
(07:26):
That's cool.
Yeah.
And it.
Mostly because it's.
It was the, you know, they'rethe Utah team, the Salt Lake team.
And then the fact that it wasfilmed here in Utah, they brought
them out.
It was like the 30th.
They were doing a whole lot of.
For it that year in 2003.
So it was pretty fun or 23 rather.
So it was pretty funny.
They.
But they came out and hung outafter the game like they were there
(07:48):
the whole game and like youcould go get autographs and take
pictures and.
And then they hung out for awhile after the game was over down
on the field and you could goout and it was cool.
Like we didn't hang around,but we did hang out, go and watch
the game and that's back whenwe were going to be games a little
bit more and then they movedthe stadium and it's just too far
to go now.
So for me anyway, I'm not thatMuch into lower level baseball.
(08:13):
Just go watch the OgdenRaptors and call it good.
But yeah, so it's.
For me, the sandlot like tookon a light.
Well, I grew up with thismovie because I was 12 when it came
out and I was still playing,you know, peewee baseball or I guess
I was getting into more ponyleague stuff.
But it.
Yeah, like I played baseballfrom the time I was 5 years old until
(08:37):
I graduated high school.
And so I love baseball.
And so this movie for me waslike this was on all the time as
a kid because it was funny, itwas relatable to me.
And yeah, and back then summer was.
I liked summer versus nowwhere I'm like, turn off the sun.
But the.
(08:58):
Yeah, back then I loved it.
So this was a great movie,great choice for this.
And then I moved out to Utah,ironically enough, between my junior
or sophomore and junior yearof high school in the summer, which
was terrible.
But then I found out like inlater on in life I.
Like I said my brother in lawwas talking about the fact that his
sister and ex wife are in thepool scene.
(09:21):
And like I've been to a bunchof the places where they filmed all
this stuff just by nature ofbeing here.
And I was like, I'm gonna gocheck out the sandlot field and I'm
gonna go check out Rick's.
Like we could go to the pooland we'll show you where it's at.
So it was wild.
Yeah.
But this, this movie is just fun.
Like there's no time that I'vewatched it that I just haven't been
(09:44):
thoroughly entertained and hada great time and.
Yeah.
What's your, what's yourfavorite scene, Jay?
If you had to pick one, whatgets you the most giggles?
Dude, it's the flashback scenein the freaking.
The.
In the tree house.
Like the forever.
Like that whole black andwhite where it's like that scene
(10:08):
just makes me giggle.
Like so when it comes tolaughs and funny, like that's Matt
said.
I don't know what to do.
Like I feel like we've movedfrom movie review podcast to like
erotic streaming.
I had that milking on yourfingers right now, dude.
It's just like.
Like how far back there dothose go, dude?
(10:31):
Like you got some skills.
I'm just saying.
20 bucks.
20 bucks, dude.
Sorry, I got.
Hey, for our podcastlisteners, if you're, if you're wanting
to see something, just jump on YouTube.
Yeah, let me save you the trouble.
Don't jump on YouTube for that.
(10:53):
I love that.
I mean there's so many scenes.
I mean, full scene for meprobably takes it, but the, the same
kid.
What's the kid with theglasses that he.
That Quince.
Did you even watch the movie?
Yeah, I did.
I just watched.
I just.
I don't.
I don't remember all the names.
I'm like JJ with some of thatstuff when he, when they're doing
the whole mission, they'retrying to retrieve the ball with
(11:14):
all the different ways.
I just love when like they get.
He's like, pull it up.
He's like.
Or he's like, you got it.
That always makes me laughbecause he's like, yeah.
And you're like.
But every time, he's like,he's so hopeful.
And then the Beast justobviously ruins plans.
(11:36):
And I love all the, the different.
I mean, it's so ludicrous.
Like the, the three vacuum thing.
I'm like, I don't even know.
Would that even work?
Probably not, but it looked cool.
All those different attempts,just pretty great.
And I love how they make theBeast with their.
(11:56):
All their memory and thethings they've seen, like, look like
it weighs like, I don't know,like it's a mountain lion that weighs
like 2,000 pounds or somethingand chucked out the.
The.
It's.
It's not Cult, it's not connects.
But the metal thing that theyuse, the little robot they made,
I'm like, I don't know howthat worked when obviously the dog's
(12:18):
not that big.
So did they, like, was thatpart of the lore?
Who knows?
But that's, that's a part of the.
I mean, it's just fun becausethat's the part of the movie I really
like, but I wanted to.
Jay, do you hate.
Did you.
Do you not like the narrationwhere they, they use that from time
to time to like fill in gapsof the story or is that passable
for you?
No, actually, like the storyrelies on it and to kind of tie into
(12:41):
what you were talking about.
The reason it makes sense.
Like, when I watch this movie,one of the things that I love the
most about it is the fact thatbecause we're getting it secondhand,
like, I can't tell you howmany times I tell stories from when
I was a teenage, like a young kid.
And it exaggerates and it grows.
Even though I'm a 44 year oldman, I'll still add in some, some
(13:03):
zest to a story here and therefrom when I was a kid.
And like, so the narrationmakes sense to me because it's this,
the adult version of himtelling this story.
And so as I look at it as akid, it was just a fun movie, right?
And it was just hilarious andI could relate to these kids.
And I would have probablytried to think of, can we connect
three vacuum cleaners to getenough suction to get a ball out
(13:24):
of this place, right?
Because we would have donedumb like that instead of just knocking
on the door and asking for the ball.
But as an adult watching it,like, it makes a ton of sense from
the perspective of this wasthe greatest summer of their lives
and it never was connected again.
And so these over the toppieces of storytelling, like, make
(13:45):
sense to me because, like, howmuch more fun is it if you're trying
to tell a bunch of kids thiscrazy story that's really on its
core, probably very boring.
You did a bunch of dumb andtried to get this ball back.
But when you add in the zestof it from your telling this story
and you're like, yeah, we putthree vacuum cleaners together into
one vacuum head and suck thatsucker up.
(14:06):
And then the beast like drugit under the fence and threw it over
and like, yeah, like I could just.
I love that aspect that it notonly applies when I'm a kid and it's
fun and interesting, I'm like,I want to go do all that.
But as an adult, I'm like,yeah, I embellish some like that
too.
Like it's especially dependingon your audience, right?
And he's talking, in myopinion, to kids because it's a kids
(14:28):
movie.
So he's got to make it moreinteresting and long lasting and
fun.
And so I love that aspectbecause it makes perfect sense in
this particular movie.
What I don't like is whensomeone gets lazy as and they're
like, well, I got a four hourmovie I want to make, but I need
to make it too.
So I'm gonna have this voicetell half the story in a voiceover
that drives me crazy.
(14:49):
But in this case, yeah, it's.
It's valid question.
Would you be.
Were you a trash talkerplaying sports?
Oh, yeah, dude, I playedcatcher three quarter probably half
the time I was in playingbaseball and I was absolutely just
like him.
Like I was talking constantlyand in high school, like, it's that
(15:13):
I wouldn't like repeat to my mother.
But in little kids stuff, itwas just like you didn't know what
to say.
So most of the time you'rejust like running your mouth.
I wish I was good at it as heis in the movie.
But yeah, like we.
I used to talk a lot of behindthe plate.
If I could distract somebody.
That was my.
I used to point out prettygirls as they'd walk by the like
stands or.
And I'd get real lucky if itwas one of their sisters because
(15:40):
then I'm Right.
Yeah.
Then I'm really distracted.
Yeah.
So.
But yeah.
Oh, yeah.
That was my favorite pastime.
Yeah.
You seem like you'd.
You'd be like the hambino andtrash talk it up.
Yeah.
When they play the, thebaseball team.
Pretty, pretty great.
When they just totally wax himand everyone plays great.
The other thing I, I alwaysforget and love is when.
(16:02):
Gosh, I can't remember themain character.
Not why am I forgetting his name.
So stupid.
Smalls.
Yeah.
And you're killing me.
Smalls.
Yeah, his hat that he wearsthat I'm like, did those hats exist?
Like, were those fishing hats?
Like, I've never.
I only see them in this movieand then like some old timey baseball
(16:22):
movies and they were a littlelonger even.
As long as that, like that hatalways gets from like, dude.
Yeah.
What in the world?
That's because back then theyweren't a fashion statement.
They were in the, in the 90swhen this movie was being made.
It was.
They were becoming a fashionstatement versus a baseball cap was
meant to keep the sun out ofyour eyes while you're playing baseball.
(16:45):
Now it's like bad luck.
It's all about the fashion statement.
But yeah, that's, that is ridiculous.
It gets me every single time.
Yeah, I love the differentaspects too.
Like, I laugh at the partwhere Benny hits the ball like into
his glove, like, and he likecan put it anywhere because that's
(17:06):
one of those things that to meis more ridiculous almost than a
dog throwing the crumpled upvacuum cleaner over the fence.
Yeah.
When he puts a little spit onhim, like, bro, that ain't putting
it right on the glove.
I'm sorry, but I love this.
But again, the storytellingaspect of it because like, I think
back when I was this ageliving in Ohio, we.
(17:26):
I played baseball, Littleleague baseball with a kid named
Misha Lang.
And I swear to you, like, wewere like 10, dude, 9 or 10 years
old when we were playing whenI was on the same team as Misha.
But the kid could throw theball hard.
Like he pitched.
And we had just startedgetting into like self pitch league
(17:49):
age and the kid was, he couldthrow the ball very hard.
So to another 8 or 9 year old,like it felt like he was throwing
a hundred miles an hour.
Kids probably throwing 30miles an hour.
But it felt like he.
So.
And he was really good acrossthe board at baseball as well.
Like, he was.
Yeah, he was just really good.
(18:09):
And so he would be that kid.
Like, when I would think back,like, I always go, oh, he's our Misha.
Because I talk about him now,I'm like, this kid was throwing 70
miles an hour in third grade.
And I'm like, I know it's.
But when I was a kid, like,he'd throw the bomb.
Like, man, if he hits me withthat, like, and he hit me once in
practice, and it left scenemarks on my knee.
Like, on the inside of my knee.
(18:30):
That's how hard he threw the ball.
But God bless.
Like, it wasn't.
But so I think about that.
That spot, and how Benny'sjust like, this superhero that can
do anything.
I'm like, that's so funny,because he was probably a phenomenal
baseball player.
He plays in the bigs at the end.
But I was gonna say, clearly,yeah, he was very good.
But it's.
It's so funny to me.
(18:50):
Yeah.
Like, that's another aspectthat I always smile at when I watch
this, like, knowing he wasn'tthat good.
Nobody.
Is the mom in this.
Is she in.
Is she the Indiana Jones chick from.
Yeah, but I didn't realize ittill this time.
I was like, wait, why didn't Ihave another piece that together?
Because I watched both thesemovies enough.
I should totally know that,but I never did for some reason.
Yep, that's her.
(19:10):
Yeah.
Good stuff.
And then I'll like.
I love the part where theyhave to trade in the baseball and
the.
It's.
It's funny.
He's in.
I should be able to.
I can't name his name rightnow, the actor, that he's.
Another baseball movie.
But it was like, they werejust like, oh, he did so good to
feel the dreams.
We just got to put him in Jones.
(19:31):
Yeah.
You were pulling your best JJimpression today.
I know, I know.
Maybe I don't want to accessmy brain right now, but I love him
in this movie, too, because.
Because you could.
I.
I guess he's blind, but, like,half the time, I'm like, I swear
he just can see.
And he's just, like, effingwith these kids and just having a
good time.
But, like, how giddy he isonce he finally realizes that he
(19:54):
can trade this ball and havepeople to talk to and all that.
Like, it gets me every time.
Like, he Just looks too danghappy because I'm used to him being
just like a grump.
But I love him.
Yeah, I love.
He's got one.
He's got maybe my favoriteline in this whole movie, arguably
the tard.
Because there's so many.
As Alec pointed out, like,this thing is so wildly quotable.
(20:15):
But when he's like, Georgesigned this.
I'm not kidding.
You're not in trouble.
You're dead where you stand.
That line is just so good to me.
But yeah, for a two minuteclip, like, he absolutely steals
the show like that.
And that's the, the talent ofJames Earl Jones.
But like, I love that parttoo, where they go in and they're
(20:36):
actually talking to him andhim telling the story of Tate getting
hit in the.
In the head and going blind.
Yeah, it's.
It's great.
And I love his first.
Like, why didn't you just comeask me?
Because that's such a.
Like, and that.
So when I was a little kidagain in Ohio, we.
I used to live across thestreet from my cousin, and next door
(20:56):
to him was these family withtriplets, the Gordon girls.
And then right next to themwas this old lady.
And I don't remember her name,which is unfortunate, but she had
this big garden in this biglush backyard with the garden in
it and the corn was alwaysgrowing and stuff.
Well, all three of thesebackyards, my cousins and then the
(21:18):
Gordon family, their backyards connected.
And they didn't have fencesback there.
It was just you could walkfrom one backyard to the other, and
there wasn't a road betweentheir house and the houses behind
them.
They were connected backyards.
Unless they put a fence up.
Well, the old lady had put afence up.
And we used to play baseball,Wiffle ball, more often than not.
(21:40):
So we didn't break windows inthe backyard of my cousin Robbie
and his family and then theGordon's backyard, they used to let
us come over and use their backyard.
We would.
We'd play one more likecricket than baseball really, because
we just have one base.
It was long base, but we.
Every time we hit a baseballor a wiffle ball into the old lady's
(22:00):
yard, it was the same reaction.
I won't go in over there.
She's gonna be so mad.
She's just this little oldlady, dude.
But at 10 years old, you'relike, I'm not going to knock it on
her door if we just lostanother wiffle ball, boys.
For us, we played baseball,but it was mainly hockey in some
soccer but we always playedNicole de Sac.
We had these Russian neighbors.
They're still there.
(22:20):
They've lightened up quite a bit.
But I don't think they understood.
When they first moved in, ourneighborhood was chocked full of.
It was a new neighborhood, andso it was just kids galore.
Like, everybody was out.
Like, most of the neighborhoodwas playing hockey.
One time they decided to callthe cops on us playing hockey in
the cul de sac.
And I remember the cops came.
The only thing they said atthe end was, like, hey, you all should
(22:41):
be playing with helmets.
And they just left becausewhat are they gonna do?
Like, we're just playinghockey in the cul de sac.
And then they also called thecops on 4th of July when everyone
was using illegal fireworks.
And every of the cops can.
We're like, yeah, bye.
(23:02):
Funny how neighbors will do so.
But the soccer.
My.
He actually used to be mylittle peewee soccer coach Juan,
our neighbor.
That's still there as well.
This I feel bad about, becausenow being a homeowner, I'd be pretty
pissed.
We played soccer in our yardand used his.
The side of his yard as a goalbecause he had these two, like, trees
that worked out perfectly thatwere, like, ferns.
But, yeah, he ended upplanting bushes in the middle of
(23:24):
them, I think to.
Because before they werethere, when we'd shoot, like, we
were shooting, and it justsmashed into his siding.
Like, we made debt.
Like, just actually.
And then he planted bushes,which helped.
But then I thought.
I was like, man, we really didhave dirty.
Because we, like, physicallybeat his house.
And now being, like, ahomeowner, I'd be like.
I would have been.
(23:44):
I've been, like, really mad.
He was a good sport about it.
But, like, I'm sure they'rejust sitting in their house.
I was like, what?
Yeah, that's a face dude right there.
Yeah.
Like, he.
Yeah, very much so.
To the point now I.
We.
We've told him how sorry wewere, and he just.
I mean, he's a great guy.
(24:04):
Just laughs it off.
But, yeah, that one.
I'm like, yeah.
Being a kid used.
It's so funny.
I think about now and the.
That we used to do when wewere kids.
Like, there's no way we getaway with it today.
Like, when I like saying, mycousin Robbie, My older cousin Robbie
lived directly across thestreet from us in Ohio, and we used
(24:27):
to get tennis balls and tennisrackets, and we would play tennis
across the street because itwas a quiet little Midwestern street
in the middle of nowhere.
Ohio.
And so we would play 10, andthen if car would come, we'd stop,
right?
Well, one day we figured outon accident, I think, because I got
pissed and I grabbed a rockand I hit it with the tennis racket.
(24:49):
That you could send a rock areally long way with a tennis racket.
So we started just blastingthese things, and they would go so
far, we're like, oh, we're not hitting.
You know, you're a kid, youdon't recognize the fact that there's
still houses as far away asyou're hitting these rocks.
And eventually, some neighborcame down again.
(25:09):
It's amazing I didn't get inmore trouble if some neighbor came
down to our houses and waslike, we don't know how it's happening,
but it's coming from your place.
And we could hear him out running.
But we're.
We got dings in our cars andfrom rocks getting sent all the way
until finally I got my assripped for.
Because we would.
We just grab these tennisrackets and just swing our nuts off
(25:31):
on these rocks and send them.
And.
Very similar.
We had a power generator withbushes around my buddy Houston.
They lived in, like, one ofthose long driveways that split in
two, but they had a generatorout front, right next to the.
The main neighborhood road.
And we just, like this.
Long story short, things justgot progressive worse until we decided
(25:53):
we're just gonna throw rocksat cars.
And then, oh, yeah, end uphitting a.
I remember it's a red car, andI just remember the door opening
and the person got out.
I ran into what we called thecommon grounds, which is, like this
big, like, drainage area.
And then there was, like, aforest and a playground.
Person never found me.
But that was the last time wethrew rocks, because that was.
(26:14):
I was like, well, I want someadult chasing after me.
And then the only other did alot of dumb things, the one that
makes me laugh, I used to havea bow and arrow, like a compound
bow that is shot at a target.
But, like, JJ talks, you justget progressive.
Like, oh, I'm doing this.
I should just do something.
Like, I got bored with the target.
You're like, I should shootsomething else.
Like, I could do better.
(26:35):
And so they.
We.
I used to have a forest behindmy house, but then they built these
homes, and we had these twoneighbors behind us, and we used
to have our trampoline there.
But then they got annoyedbecause we had so many people that
would come.
So we ended up taking that down.
So didn't vibe with that neighbor.
Like, and wasn't enjoying it.
But for whatever reason, Idon't know what I was thinking, I
(26:56):
decided I'm gonna shoot thisarrow, like, close to this house.
Long story short, I don't knowwhat I was thinking.
I shot it, like, high enoughup where it was in their siding hanging
out.
And I didn't.
I was like, I can't tell them.
Like, I.
There's no way I'm gonna tell them.
So I remember I got a.
(27:16):
A ladder and, like, a reallylong pole, and I knocked it out of
the siding and never told them.
To this day, never did.
And they.
They finally replaced thesiding, but it was like a very.
It was a sizable chunk.
Like, if you looked, you'd belike, what the freak happened to
my siding right here?
Like, just never told him.
(27:37):
Never told anybody.
I guess I told the world now.
But, yeah, that was the.
Probably one of.
And I still.
I don't.
I don't remember if I was with friends.
I think was just me.
And I don't know what I was thinking.
Like, what was I doing?
But, like, I just remember thevisual hanging.
I was like, oh, man.
Like, I gotta.
I gotta go address that.
Yeah, the.
(27:58):
We did stand lot, baby, allday long.
Stupid stuff we do.
But that's why I love themovie, because it makes me think
about childhood shenanigansand playing sports with their friends
outside.
And if there is anyone fromthe younger generation, I don't think
anyone listens to us that areyoung enough that are still out doing
this.
But, like, go outside.
(28:18):
Go have some fun.
Like, don't just be stuck inyour video game system or watching
social media.
I think that's the sad thing today.
Is go shoot arrows at your neighbors.
Why not?
Why not hit rocks with a racket.
With a rat?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I mean, I just don't see kids out.
(28:40):
This doesn't really happen anymore.
I mean, we used to becausethey're smarter than us.
Well, that's fair too.
We used to get in BB gun fights.
That's because we didn't haveshit to do.
Like, I beat the Nintendo gameand mom and dad aren't gonna buy
me a new one, so I gotta go dosome shit or dad wants to take a
nap.
So he literally kicked my assout of the house and locked the fucking
door.
And even when I was thirsty,he told me to go drink from the fucking
(29:02):
spigot.
So it's like, yeah, that's howI live.
Don't throw firecrackers at geese.
Yeah, say that they're muchmore intimidating than they look.
They hurt too.
Yeah.
Yeah, they're mean.
The best part is you can'ttell if you were talking about the
firecracker or the geese.
Yes.
(29:24):
Also, don't throw golf ballsat swans.
You think geese are intimidating?
You should have a swan, which,by the way, is as tall as you, if
not taller.
When they're pissed and theirwings are out, there's a big ass
bird now.
I learned after the geese, Ihad an opportunity for some swans
(29:44):
when they put in the need.
No, no.
I was a little bit older,certainly wiser at that point.
Did not.
Did not make the attempt onthat one.
I learned about swans, andthen as an adult, I broke into a
golf course to get in the pondto get free golf balls.
And the golf course was calledSwan Lakes for a reason.
(30:06):
We saw swans and decided wewere not gonna go get golf balls
by my urging, because I was.
I was like, I'm not going in there.
There's a swan in there.
The will eat you.
What dumb did you get up to, Alec?
I'm afraid, yeah.
Because I feel like there's,like, some jail time involved if
anybody.
The Statue of limitations hasabout two more.
(30:29):
Run.
We'll circle back.
That's great.
That's great.
Future episode the dumb thatAlec got J.J.
how many.
How many animals died underyour care?
Like.
Like me?
Mutilate.
You know what?
I shot a bird once when I was,like, 8 years old with a BB gun.
(30:52):
And I felt so bad about it.
I never actually killedanother animal until I was, like,
hunting or fishing or like,there was a purpose to it.
But, like, me just being anand be like, I got a BB gun and there's
a bird.
I only did that once, and it,like, tortured my soul, so I didn't
do it.
The only time I tried tointentionally kill something was
pigeons on my mission.
(31:14):
But in my childhood, I had some.
You know, like, you comeacross a turtle or.
Or like, baby birds when youthought their mother wasn't coming
back.
Those birds died because I fedthem, then put them out in, like,
a little fort.
Snakes ate them.
And then the mom came back thenext day, not even joking like that
one.
Still to this day, because Igo home and know right where they
(31:37):
were, and then right where themom flew out.
I'm like, oh, man.
Like, I can't believe I did that.
But the one that makes me feeleven worse is there was a turtle.
I was coming home fromelementary school.
I would think I was in fifth grade.
And I took it Home hung outwith it for like a week.
Put in my mom's, like, Jacuzzitub and had the mirror, gave it lettuce.
(31:57):
It was great.
Like, it was fun.
I was like, I should probably,like, you know, let's put it back.
So I was going in the bus.
I remember one of the days Ilet it out and remember coming home.
I was walked the same way.
And I was like, wait,something's a little pancaked on
the road.
No.
What could that be, dude?
It had to been the turtlebecause it looked just like the turtle.
(32:20):
The top of it, it was totallypancake flattened.
That was the last time I triedto take any wildlife under my care.
Because that one, I felt so bad.
I was like this.
I had a good time with it andjust totally flattened.
Like, oh, no, totally dead.
And I was devastated, like, that.
That thing did not deservewhat happened to it.
And it had to have died, like,very soon after I left.
(32:43):
Probably within minutes afterI got on the bus, like, because I
don't know, like, just felt terrible.
Not only that, but you upsomebody's tire and probably alignment
because hitting the turtles,like hitting a boulder.
Dude's terrible.
Felt I felt bad.
Yeah.
Like, my hamsters diedtragically as well.
(33:05):
That was my.
Wasn't my fault.
One blood in my hand.
The other my mom killedbecause it liked to hang out behind
our dryer with the lint.
And it wasn't coming out soon enough.
This was Bubba after Harry had died.
And my mom started to move thedryer and I guess punctured it with.
With the corner.
I'll never forget.
On the white linoleum flooring.
All of a sudden, a trail ofblood comes out and totally had killed
(33:28):
it right there.
And.
Wow.
Yeah.
Matt's gonna be living somethis episode.
Yeah.
No, Santa's bringing back.
Doing some trauma unpacking.
Yeah, I was.
Those hamsters, the.
I wasn't ready.
I did all.
I put them on trampolines andjumped them to, like, my height.
(33:48):
I put them in my old sister's dollhouse.
And I had to grease Bubba'sbutt because it started to get purple
to get him out with butterbecause he got stuck.
Oh, God.
Animal cruelty over here.
I know.
Hey, I'm great to him.
Bubbers.
He's a special dog.
But I had never had rodents oranything like that.
(34:10):
There's.
There's more stories I couldget into, but only a couple more.
But I was pretty cursed thingsthat I like animals that I found.
And I.
I don't do that.
Because it doesn't end well.
I think my parents knew Inever had.
I had a dog and that was it.
Like growing up.
Like we had little dogs and that.
I think my parents knew.
(34:30):
He's too bored.
He's too ADHD at the time.
Add, and he can't.
Like, he'll never take care of anything.
We barely get him to feed this dog.
So.
Yeah, I don't think I ever gotanything because of the fear that
I would probably.
And look at you now.
Your dogs are your life.
That's true.
That's true.
Yeah, we kind of gotsidetracked on sandlot, but I.
(34:53):
It was pretty funny, but.
Yeah, I don't even know whatelse to say.
We, like, spun sandlot intolike, childhood traumas.
Childhood good times.
Well, I didn't hear anythingabout Alex.
Fifth amendments from Alec.
Yeah.
Fifth.
Pleading the fifth and like.
Yeah, statute of limitations.
(35:13):
It's good times.
So sandlot.
You know what?
I will say this before we're done.
The sandlot, the one thing about.
Has always annoyed me aboutsandlot is the kid that repeats his
brother every goddamn time.
Oh, yeah.
Every goddamn time.
Yeah, exactly.
Yeah, yeah, but it's not.
Yeah, yeah, but no.
Yeah, he has the.
I know, I know.
(35:34):
I was trying to say.
Yeah, yeah.
What is the kid's name?
I don't.
I don't remember that.
Little Tommy.
Yeah.
I think it's Timmy.
And they call him like.
No, it's Tommy.
Repeat.
They call him Repeat.
Repeat.
Yeah.
I hate it.
That drives me nuts.
But there was always that kid.
Yeah.
And I would always be like,say it again.
(35:54):
When I was a kid.
Repeat my ass one more timeand see what happens.
Oh, all right, so we rate thismovie we barely talked about.
Let's do it.
All right, Matt, so kick usoff, buddy.
I mean, do we want to get thatdeep into the metaphor of sandlot?
I don't think so.
Yeah.
I don't know for what thismovie is.
I'm giving this movie A5.
(36:15):
I love this movie.
This movie.
I'll watch it anytime, anywhere.
Obviously it takes me down thetrips of memory lane, whether it's
a memory I really should behappy about or some that a little
more depressing when youreally think about what happened
and what little life that you crushed.
(36:35):
But I loved my summers, eventhough my mom would make me do a
bunch of like, cursive writingand math before I could go out and
do anything.
Which it was like basicallymini school, but not having homework
really.
And a sense of responsibility.
I think that's what I missmost about true summers when you
grew up.
I'd love to go back to thatright now, but so is the life of
(36:58):
being an adult.
But I think that's what thesandlot captures for me, is it transports
me back to a time in my life.
When you're that young, youwant to get old, but when you're
this old, you want to get young.
And the sandlot just makes me happy.
And I think, like JJ talkedabout, you always embellish stories,
especially those that are fromthat long ago and just a good time,
(37:20):
good watch, just makes me laugh.
And I'll watch it again real soon.
Alec, what about you, buddy?
Five.
Easy five.
Like, there's the, there's akid aspect.
It's fun, but you also have alittle bit of nice words of wisdom
in there as well.
Like from Art Lafleur.
(37:41):
Like quote sticks, to me isthe heroes and legends, right?
Heroes live forever.
Legends never die.
Legends never die.
That's.
That's some dope ass for asummer kids movie.
Yeah.
So, yeah, it's a five.
I'll watch this anytime, anywhere.
Easy.
Same.
It's a five.
Like there's, there's.
(38:01):
I.
No matter.
I could point out a couple ofdifferent things that always make
me smile and things that I'mlike, what?
And I still get giggles aboutthe fact that a pair of shoes like,
to them made a difference.
They're PF Flyers.
PF Flyers make a kid runfaster and jump higher.
And you're like, theybasically look the exact same.
(38:23):
And I think part of it too ismakes me laugh because I remember
being that thought like pumpswere gonna make me better at basketball.
Like, you know, I got a little ball.
Basketball pump on the frontof my shoe, so it's gonna make me
a better basketball player.
It didn't.
I was horrible at basketball.
So.
But yeah, like, there's a lotof nostalgia for this movie, but
it's still a lot of fun as an adult.
(38:43):
And I see different things.
Plus it's always fun to seepeople that I know in it.
And I forgot a friend of mine,Gabe was on the other baseball team
that they play.
So he.
Yeah, he's on it too.
And I, I laugh because healways talks about it and I'm like,
man, you talk a lot about that dude.
You almost 50 years old.
You gotta let that go.
(39:06):
But I, He's a.
I love that dude.
Gabe's funny.
So, yeah, that kind of stuff.
But it's just, it's just awhole, wholesome, fun, good movie
that I love to watch.
So five for me as well.
Man.
It's been a while since we'vehad a five across the board movie
that one or the other of us ormultiples didn't poo poo somebody
