the same here yeah well i mean you're not that

00:01:31.459 --> 00:01:34.579
far far away well portland is actually usually

00:01:34.579 --> 00:01:37.640
a good five to ten over us especially on the

00:01:37.640 --> 00:01:40.219
hot yeah yeah all right that's fair something

00:01:40.219 --> 00:01:44.079
about marine layers closer to hell speaking of

00:01:44.079 --> 00:01:48.379
hell our brows what Oh, the head coach for Baylor

00:01:48.379 --> 00:01:52.480
that helped with sexual assaults. Yeah, that

00:01:52.480 --> 00:01:54.079
guy. Fuck yeah, this is a good conversation.

00:01:54.780 --> 00:01:58.299
What was his favorite water sport? It was probably

00:01:58.299 --> 00:02:03.120
water rafting. I quit. Oh, gross. That's where

00:02:03.120 --> 00:02:08.659
you just fill a big water raft with piss. Did

00:02:08.659 --> 00:02:11.039
any of you guys ever know somebody to put pee

00:02:11.039 --> 00:02:14.020
in a super soaker? No, I never knew anyone who

00:02:14.020 --> 00:02:15.840
actually did the pee in the super soaker. Do

00:02:15.840 --> 00:02:19.759
I know one now? No, everybody wants to. Like,

00:02:19.759 --> 00:02:22.000
peeing in the super soaker sounds like the greatest

00:02:22.000 --> 00:02:25.379
thing in the world. Right. But you never get

00:02:25.379 --> 00:02:29.180
that back. That's always the pee super soaker,

00:02:29.180 --> 00:02:31.960
no matter how many times you boil it. Oh, yeah,

00:02:32.020 --> 00:02:33.379
that's fair. People are boiling their super soaker?

00:02:33.819 --> 00:02:36.460
No, there's always pee in the super soaker after

00:02:36.460 --> 00:02:38.949
you put it in. I mean, so there's never and it's

00:02:38.949 --> 00:02:42.050
never known as anything else. That's fine. I

00:02:42.050 --> 00:02:43.969
mean, especially when like when you're of the

00:02:43.969 --> 00:02:47.069
age where you have a super soaker, you didn't

00:02:47.069 --> 00:02:48.710
buy that and you know you're not getting another

00:02:48.710 --> 00:02:51.479
one if you ruin it. That's a good point. mom

00:02:51.479 --> 00:02:53.060
is definitely not giving you a new one that you

00:02:53.060 --> 00:02:55.520
filled with piss you know it's like hey guess

00:02:55.520 --> 00:02:58.419
what sean you get to keep that one forever enjoy

00:02:58.419 --> 00:03:00.520
your piss soaker whatever i'd be piss soaking

00:03:00.520 --> 00:03:02.860
everything then i'd be like okay mom this is

00:03:02.860 --> 00:03:04.819
what we're doing now mr mcdonough wet himself

00:03:04.819 --> 00:03:11.340
do this is super soaker still a brand i mean

00:03:11.340 --> 00:03:15.699
the need for water guns hasn't gone away Did

00:03:15.699 --> 00:03:18.139
you guys ever have the backpack one? Oh, yeah.

00:03:18.379 --> 00:03:19.979
No, actually, I didn't have it, but a friend

00:03:19.979 --> 00:03:23.039
did. Yeah, it's always a friend. It's always

00:03:23.039 --> 00:03:25.060
the rich friend, too. It's always the one that

00:03:25.060 --> 00:03:27.979
has the mansion on the hill. That's, I guess,

00:03:28.000 --> 00:03:31.400
for the Eastern Washingtonian here, literally

00:03:31.400 --> 00:03:33.520
the friend that had an airstrip in his backyard.

00:03:33.800 --> 00:03:36.900
Like, yeah, that guy. Yeah. Of course that dude

00:03:36.900 --> 00:03:39.000
has the backpack. I didn't associate with any

00:03:39.000 --> 00:03:42.199
people like that. My rich friend just had like

00:03:42.199 --> 00:03:45.699
a bigger house than I did. Yeah. He just got

00:03:45.699 --> 00:03:47.919
to watch TV in the hours that I didn't get to

00:03:47.919 --> 00:03:49.479
watch TV. I was like, oh man, his life is so

00:03:49.479 --> 00:03:51.879
rich. He didn't have a private fucking jet. He

00:03:51.879 --> 00:03:54.360
didn't have a pool in a Cessna's backyard. No.

00:03:55.210 --> 00:03:57.289
No, no, he still drank from the hose, but he

00:03:57.289 --> 00:03:59.789
had the super soaker that had the backpack attachment.

00:04:00.169 --> 00:04:04.409
A backpack full of piss. Yeah. How long do you

00:04:04.409 --> 00:04:06.729
think it would take to fill that backpack? Well,

00:04:06.810 --> 00:04:08.629
if we all pool our resources, I think we could

00:04:08.629 --> 00:04:10.930
do a pretty good job. Yeah, I mean, you've got

00:04:10.930 --> 00:04:13.129
the whole hose there. So you just put the hose

00:04:13.129 --> 00:04:15.830
in your mouth. Oh, yeah. You just let it cycle

00:04:15.830 --> 00:04:18.750
through. That's true. And eat asparagus at the

00:04:18.750 --> 00:04:23.779
same time. So obviously, we're talking about

00:04:23.779 --> 00:04:26.959
The Boy in Blue. Which is a movie with Nicolas

00:04:26.959 --> 00:04:32.019
Cage. And zero piss. Zero piss. Honestly, I expected

00:04:32.019 --> 00:04:35.720
more of that. Yeah, I mean, if you're already

00:04:35.720 --> 00:04:37.759
out on the water, I'm surprised we didn't see

00:04:37.759 --> 00:04:40.420
more of those guys just wanging one off the side

00:04:40.420 --> 00:04:43.699
of their little boat and just having a piss mid

00:04:43.699 --> 00:04:46.540
-row. It's very unrealistic if there's somebody

00:04:46.540 --> 00:04:48.220
not pissing off their boat at some point during

00:04:48.220 --> 00:04:51.259
the film. Yeah. i think he just ran into other

00:04:51.259 --> 00:04:53.300
people's boats for a reason to jump in the water

00:04:53.300 --> 00:04:56.519
and then take a leak very valid take i never

00:04:56.519 --> 00:04:59.379
thought because it was the 1800s so like propriety

00:04:59.379 --> 00:05:05.819
dumb yeah he did wear cool like uh dude capris

00:05:05.819 --> 00:05:09.259
he definitely wore the old school henleys that

00:05:09.259 --> 00:05:11.800
are i don't get why that's still a thing but

00:05:11.800 --> 00:05:14.819
that's definitely still a rowing thing wait explain

00:05:14.819 --> 00:05:19.620
so like uh the henley is a regatta over in england

00:05:19.620 --> 00:05:22.379
still um one of the places that they actually

00:05:22.379 --> 00:05:24.480
still they're that they actually showed it on

00:05:24.480 --> 00:05:28.779
the tips but yeah they legitimately have these

00:05:28.779 --> 00:05:30.899
really stupid shirts that have like a little

00:05:30.899 --> 00:05:33.439
instead of like the buttons right there it's

00:05:33.439 --> 00:05:36.100
like a little thin piece of fabric right down

00:05:36.100 --> 00:05:38.779
the center like where the buttons would be for

00:05:38.779 --> 00:05:42.040
like your normal polo and it's like yeah no that's

00:05:42.040 --> 00:05:44.660
a apparently that's a henley shirt that they

00:05:44.660 --> 00:05:47.019
can wear while they're rowing it's very stupid

00:05:47.019 --> 00:05:50.920
but also very british seems to work yeah i mean

00:05:50.920 --> 00:05:53.160
fucking he could row yeah every i said everybody

00:05:53.160 --> 00:05:56.279
wearing one of those in this movie fucking road

00:05:56.279 --> 00:06:01.139
yeah well the crazy bit is i mean shoot we can

00:06:01.139 --> 00:06:03.860
go into all the rowing stuff here in a bit but

00:06:03.860 --> 00:06:08.480
oh yeah we're going deep on the road Most of

00:06:08.480 --> 00:06:12.620
my notes are on all of the rowing stuff. For

00:06:12.620 --> 00:06:14.459
anyone who doesn't know Hayden, he is a slut

00:06:14.459 --> 00:06:18.480
for sports. What? And a real coxswain, like a

00:06:18.480 --> 00:06:21.120
professional coxswain. And the coxswain is the

00:06:21.120 --> 00:06:23.120
guy who sits in the boat and tells other boys

00:06:23.120 --> 00:06:25.639
how to stroke the boat. You're welcome. Yeah.

00:06:26.160 --> 00:06:29.079
yeah you're good at telling never mind both boys

00:06:29.079 --> 00:06:32.160
had a both boys had a stroke keep it short boys

00:06:32.160 --> 00:06:36.139
so in all honesty i only i only i wrote in college

00:06:36.139 --> 00:06:39.800
i wrote in college but like yeah we were only

00:06:39.800 --> 00:06:43.060
in the fours and the eights for for rowing side

00:06:43.060 --> 00:06:46.079
of things so the sing is that how many boys yeah

00:06:46.079 --> 00:06:50.519
okay so the singles was always there was no person

00:06:50.519 --> 00:06:52.459
in there although back in the day apparently

00:06:52.459 --> 00:06:55.209
like i was looking through some old records And

00:06:55.209 --> 00:06:57.990
they had a coxed pair, which was literally just

00:06:57.990 --> 00:07:00.370
two people in a boat with somebody steering the

00:07:00.370 --> 00:07:06.129
boat, which is so bad. So bad. That's where you

00:07:06.129 --> 00:07:08.029
just propel yourself somehow by jerking each

00:07:08.029 --> 00:07:11.850
other off. Yeah, it's like one of those old -timey

00:07:11.850 --> 00:07:15.889
railroad carts. The pull carts. Yeah. But it's

00:07:15.889 --> 00:07:17.689
like, as you row, you're just jerking your buddy

00:07:17.689 --> 00:07:19.589
off. Yeah, I mean, everybody wins. It would be

00:07:19.589 --> 00:07:23.069
very impressive just to have the dexterity. They

00:07:23.069 --> 00:07:24.769
would have to be, like, monkey -deep goofy to

00:07:24.769 --> 00:07:26.930
be able to reach around and just have the bubblegum

00:07:26.930 --> 00:07:29.930
arms. Uh -huh. I don't get that reference. Oh,

00:07:29.949 --> 00:07:32.649
my God. Oh, you're not inert enough for that?

00:07:32.810 --> 00:07:37.519
Sean only deals in sports, Hayden. Yeah. Welcome

00:07:37.519 --> 00:07:39.300
back to Cage Magical and Around a Bow Wave meeting

00:07:39.300 --> 00:07:42.079
Nicholas Cage. I am regretting all of my life

00:07:42.079 --> 00:07:44.839
decisions. My name is Sean. I'm here with my

00:07:44.839 --> 00:07:48.019
co -host, Nick, and our producer, Peter. Hello.

00:07:48.540 --> 00:07:50.439
And you've already met Hayden. We don't need

00:07:50.439 --> 00:07:54.399
to introduce him again. I already know Hayden's

00:07:54.399 --> 00:07:58.180
favorite water sports, so it's OK. And as Peter

00:07:58.180 --> 00:07:59.879
alluded to earlier, we're discussing the boy

00:07:59.879 --> 00:08:02.079
in blue. What made you think you wanted to get

00:08:02.079 --> 00:08:04.439
in a boat with other dudes and just be the guy

00:08:04.439 --> 00:08:07.769
who yells? uh if you want me to be truthfully

00:08:07.769 --> 00:08:09.670
honest about this and not joking about it it

00:08:09.670 --> 00:08:12.110
was literally i would we're an honesty podcast

00:08:12.110 --> 00:08:16.029
so yeah very honesty podcast i was i was on a

00:08:16.029 --> 00:08:20.050
european trip right between uh my uh it was basically

00:08:20.050 --> 00:08:23.069
my graduation gift and there was a guy that wrote

00:08:23.069 --> 00:08:25.290
in in high school that was on the trip and he

00:08:25.290 --> 00:08:27.449
was like you'd be really good at yelling at people

00:08:27.449 --> 00:08:31.680
so That's the weirdest take. I would never pick

00:08:31.680 --> 00:08:35.559
that for you. You're like the nicest motherfucker.

00:08:36.059 --> 00:08:38.080
And so I was light enough to do it. I think I

00:08:38.080 --> 00:08:40.320
get to read through the lines here. What he was

00:08:40.320 --> 00:08:45.200
telling you is you never shut the fuck up. Yeah,

00:08:45.240 --> 00:08:48.200
you're small and you don't shut up. These are

00:08:48.200 --> 00:08:50.440
good traits. Don't worry. They're better now

00:08:50.440 --> 00:08:53.299
that I'm in Portland. Okay, so some foreigner

00:08:53.299 --> 00:08:56.159
told you to yell at people in boats and you were

00:08:56.159 --> 00:08:58.639
like, you know what? I could do that. And so.

00:08:59.039 --> 00:09:02.200
I started, I had no experience going into college

00:09:02.200 --> 00:09:05.100
and won a national title my first year. And then

00:09:05.100 --> 00:09:07.620
from there, just kind of fell in love with yelling

00:09:07.620 --> 00:09:10.299
at people in the back of the boat while not knowing

00:09:10.299 --> 00:09:13.059
completely how to row. Which, if you're somebody

00:09:13.059 --> 00:09:15.100
in rowing, that's about right. You won a national

00:09:15.100 --> 00:09:17.580
title or the people rowing the boat won a national

00:09:17.580 --> 00:09:19.379
title? We all won a national title. Yeah, they

00:09:19.379 --> 00:09:20.639
couldn't have done it without him. It is a we.

00:09:21.100 --> 00:09:26.100
It is a we. He was a we. You didn't we. Nobody

00:09:26.100 --> 00:09:29.519
we's. We established there's no we -ing in rowing.

00:09:30.399 --> 00:09:33.019
I have to say for this movie, the cover of this,

00:09:33.080 --> 00:09:35.740
the cover I've seen and the photo of Nick Cage

00:09:35.740 --> 00:09:38.779
I've seen specifically for this movie, not what

00:09:38.779 --> 00:09:40.480
I was expecting this movie to be. I was expecting

00:09:40.480 --> 00:09:43.480
a rough tumbling street fighting man. He kind

00:09:43.480 --> 00:09:47.320
of was. Yeah. Yeah. They just kind of. I'm looking

00:09:47.320 --> 00:09:49.139
at this jacked picture of Nicolas Cage with a

00:09:49.139 --> 00:09:52.820
headband with a bandana all like sweated up.

00:09:52.820 --> 00:09:54.620
And I'm like, he's going to go kick some ass

00:09:54.620 --> 00:09:57.899
down by the docks. Oh, no. See, you're still

00:09:57.899 --> 00:10:01.919
stuck up on. rumble fish rumble fish like we

00:10:01.919 --> 00:10:04.340
want everything to be a fish yeah i love rumble

00:10:04.340 --> 00:10:06.179
fish i mean he did look like he was supposed

00:10:06.179 --> 00:10:09.759
to be an extra in mulan but still he is jacked

00:10:09.759 --> 00:10:11.720
as fuck this is probably the strongest cage has

00:10:11.720 --> 00:10:14.500
ever looked right definitely the like cleanest

00:10:14.500 --> 00:10:17.039
like leanest muscle and literally just based

00:10:17.039 --> 00:10:19.679
off of the rowing footage it looked like he was

00:10:19.679 --> 00:10:21.299
the person actually rowing in a lot i think he

00:10:21.299 --> 00:10:23.059
was i mean he doesn't really fuck around like

00:10:23.059 --> 00:10:26.320
i think now that he's like older and fatter i

00:10:26.320 --> 00:10:28.759
think he doesn't do a lot of the stunts as much

00:10:28.759 --> 00:10:31.639
or they cater the stunts a little bit down yeah

00:10:31.639 --> 00:10:34.919
for sure oh i do want to say a nice uh through

00:10:34.919 --> 00:10:37.759
line in his career still banging with pants on

00:10:37.759 --> 00:10:41.259
yeah yeah that's the only way to fuck especially

00:10:41.259 --> 00:10:44.340
while cops are knocking on the door apparently

00:10:44.340 --> 00:10:48.139
he's always ready for a gunfight He never disrobes

00:10:48.139 --> 00:10:51.940
before. Was that the worst sex scene we've seen

00:10:51.940 --> 00:10:56.960
of him? Vampire's kiss. Total lack of passion.

00:10:58.620 --> 00:11:00.539
Even with the yogurt. There was passion with

00:11:00.539 --> 00:11:03.139
this one, at least. Yeah, it seemed like he was

00:11:03.139 --> 00:11:06.720
trying to have a good time with Dulcy. i do like

00:11:06.720 --> 00:11:09.399
her oh face at the end yeah i don't know i still

00:11:09.399 --> 00:11:13.340
think uh drive angry has some pretty passionless

00:11:13.340 --> 00:11:16.740
sex like he's got the sunglasses on and everything

00:11:16.740 --> 00:11:18.940
that was like the style it's like crank style

00:11:18.940 --> 00:11:21.440
where he just has to keep going you know if i

00:11:21.440 --> 00:11:24.100
don't fuck or drink i've got to go back to hell

00:11:24.100 --> 00:11:27.240
i guess yeah you got to keep sinning to stay

00:11:27.240 --> 00:11:30.399
out of hell that's right that's right so hayden

00:11:30.399 --> 00:11:32.159
why don't you tell us what like the plot of this

00:11:32.159 --> 00:11:36.250
film was uh so the plot of the film dude dude

00:11:36.250 --> 00:11:39.409
doesn't want to go row uh literally my entire

00:11:39.409 --> 00:11:42.970
favorite quote in the movie is at the very or

00:11:42.970 --> 00:11:44.909
is close to the very beginning and one of his

00:11:44.909 --> 00:11:49.029
very first lines rowing in the hot sun too much

00:11:49.029 --> 00:11:54.929
like work legitimately that's the or so it goes

00:11:54.929 --> 00:11:57.750
from there to a guy that actually turns out to

00:11:57.750 --> 00:11:59.830
be one of the best rowing champions of all time

00:11:59.830 --> 00:12:02.070
if you go by the amount of consecutive races

00:12:02.070 --> 00:12:04.500
and all that Had you ever heard of Hanlon? No.

00:12:04.580 --> 00:12:07.320
Yeah, I didn't either. What? He's early 18. A

00:12:07.320 --> 00:12:09.700
professional coxswain like yourself had never

00:12:09.700 --> 00:12:13.320
heard of Ned Hanlon? 1800s, man. Canadian rower

00:12:13.320 --> 00:12:17.480
from 1878? World champion Ned Hanlon with 200

00:12:17.480 --> 00:12:21.279
consecutive wins? I got to be honest, anybody

00:12:21.279 --> 00:12:26.419
before 1900, I have not heard of, and I'm okay

00:12:26.419 --> 00:12:28.860
with saying that. Who's your favorite rower?

00:12:29.720 --> 00:12:32.830
Rower? Yeah. Okay, well, hold on. Who's your

00:12:32.830 --> 00:12:34.850
favorite coxswain? Let's start there. Oh, my

00:12:34.850 --> 00:12:40.409
God. Man, there's a few coxswain tapes I used

00:12:40.409 --> 00:12:42.370
to actually listen to back in the day, but I

00:12:42.370 --> 00:12:46.269
totally don't know their name because I would

00:12:46.269 --> 00:12:48.529
have actually written them down and everything,

00:12:48.610 --> 00:12:51.009
but no, I didn't. I generally don't learn their

00:12:51.009 --> 00:12:53.169
names either. It's just all about getting what

00:12:53.169 --> 00:12:56.250
I want and then... closing the tab what is a

00:12:56.250 --> 00:12:59.870
coxswain tape is it just men yelling grown men

00:12:59.870 --> 00:13:02.549
yelling the word row over and over again so essentially

00:13:02.549 --> 00:13:06.309
like as it's just like any other thing like for

00:13:06.309 --> 00:13:07.889
you guys you know how you guys record yourselves

00:13:07.889 --> 00:13:09.909
and you make you actually listen back to the

00:13:09.909 --> 00:13:12.230
episode sometimes at least i hope sometimes you

00:13:12.230 --> 00:13:14.769
do yeah that's actually probably saying with

00:13:14.769 --> 00:13:18.970
a voice like this no but uh we used to i used

00:13:18.970 --> 00:13:22.980
to listen back to other people's uh especially

00:13:22.980 --> 00:13:26.000
like from the Olympics and some of the world

00:13:26.000 --> 00:13:29.200
trials, I would listen to some of their, to some

00:13:29.200 --> 00:13:31.340
of their cadences and try to pick up on some

00:13:31.340 --> 00:13:33.120
of the calls that they would, or that some of

00:13:33.120 --> 00:13:35.240
these people that were a lot better than me would

00:13:35.240 --> 00:13:38.460
make. Oh, okay. Just to see if I, if it would

00:13:38.460 --> 00:13:41.240
work for practices and things. So you're not

00:13:41.240 --> 00:13:45.840
just on the back, just screaming now, now. now

00:13:45.840 --> 00:13:50.059
now now now that's all it was it was just seems

00:13:50.059 --> 00:13:54.179
easy yeah it's it's essentially now essentially

00:13:54.179 --> 00:13:56.340
you're just trying to make like the coxswain

00:13:56.340 --> 00:13:58.720
which is not in this movie at all whatsoever

00:13:58.720 --> 00:14:02.820
it literally essentially there we're just trying

00:14:02.820 --> 00:14:04.580
to help make sure that we stay on a race plan

00:14:04.580 --> 00:14:07.000
to make sure and try to make sure that we try

00:14:07.000 --> 00:14:09.110
to win the race as best as possible Isn't that

00:14:09.110 --> 00:14:11.190
literally everyone's job on the team, though,

00:14:11.230 --> 00:14:13.830
except they actually do something? Yes, but they're

00:14:13.830 --> 00:14:16.070
tired, so they don't want to make strategic calls,

00:14:16.169 --> 00:14:18.470
but I do. Yeah, the coxswain is the only one

00:14:18.470 --> 00:14:20.389
who gets to see where you're going, right? Yeah,

00:14:20.429 --> 00:14:22.190
because everybody's turned backwards and they

00:14:22.190 --> 00:14:23.330
can't see what's in front of them. That makes

00:14:23.330 --> 00:14:26.230
sense. Yeah, right. So there is some benefit.

00:14:26.350 --> 00:14:30.190
Which is why they keep on making the insult of,

00:14:30.309 --> 00:14:32.850
I'm going to piss down your back, which is such

00:14:32.850 --> 00:14:35.110
a weird one. Now we're back to piss again. Yeah,

00:14:35.110 --> 00:14:38.899
yeah, yeah, yeah. um so if you had to tell the

00:14:38.899 --> 00:14:42.940
boat to move like turn 15 degrees starboard how

00:14:42.940 --> 00:14:45.440
would you do that i would just do it i have the

00:14:45.440 --> 00:14:48.279
rudder i can just use the rudder and oh that's

00:14:48.279 --> 00:14:52.779
cheap you gotta or the more fun way to do it

00:14:52.779 --> 00:14:55.080
like if there's a massive degree that you have

00:14:55.080 --> 00:14:58.399
to move and you can't uh do it just do it the

00:14:58.399 --> 00:15:01.259
rudder there's at points there would be people

00:15:01.259 --> 00:15:03.399
that would actually stick their hand into the

00:15:03.399 --> 00:15:06.399
water off the side of the shell and that would

00:15:06.399 --> 00:15:08.799
give you more drag yeah and so it would actually

00:15:08.799 --> 00:15:12.139
it would basically basically drift it's like

00:15:12.139 --> 00:15:15.779
an ebay it's a massive drift that's sick i actually

00:15:15.779 --> 00:15:17.480
pulled that off in a couple races once and i

00:15:17.480 --> 00:15:20.019
felt like such a badass oh yeah you fucking tokyo

00:15:20.019 --> 00:15:22.860
drifted the boat it was great nice i'm really

00:15:22.860 --> 00:15:26.519
excited about that did you ever use any accents

00:15:27.320 --> 00:15:32.299
or do any like voice work i tried and they made

00:15:32.299 --> 00:15:38.759
fun of me so much what did you do so so it wasn't

00:15:38.759 --> 00:15:41.679
it wasn't scottish or south african it would

00:15:41.679 --> 00:15:45.559
be it was always english because our uh our coach

00:15:45.559 --> 00:15:48.139
at the time that when i first started he was

00:15:48.139 --> 00:15:51.399
english he literally wrote for cambridge so i

00:15:51.399 --> 00:15:55.240
tried to to mimic his voice or i would uh mimic

00:15:55.240 --> 00:16:00.240
our uh our uh head coach's voice because he he

00:16:00.240 --> 00:16:04.240
had a just an iconic for for us at washington

00:16:04.240 --> 00:16:07.960
state at the time he had a really iconic just

00:16:07.960 --> 00:16:12.399
cadence just like ha all righty gentlemen let's

00:16:12.399 --> 00:16:17.519
go so it was always fun i didn't even have to

00:16:17.519 --> 00:16:20.379
ask you to do that yeah that was great so did

00:16:20.379 --> 00:16:28.159
you first and then all right so ned hanlon uh

00:16:28.159 --> 00:16:30.340
-huh i really enjoyed reading about this dude

00:16:30.340 --> 00:16:32.220
because i was like what the fuck this is a weird

00:16:32.220 --> 00:16:34.279
character and cage doesn't play like a he doesn't

00:16:34.279 --> 00:16:36.259
do a great job this is not his finest acting

00:16:36.259 --> 00:16:40.059
you know he's very like nonchalant american in

00:16:40.059 --> 00:16:43.200
as a canadian hero but i was reading about him

00:16:43.200 --> 00:16:46.690
i think he says a once yeah So, all right, Hanlon,

00:16:46.750 --> 00:16:50.350
who was only 5 '8", weighed a mere 150 pounds,

00:16:50.509 --> 00:16:52.590
yet his powerful stroke enabled him to beat larger,

00:16:52.690 --> 00:16:54.970
stronger men. While he rarely rode at more than

00:16:54.970 --> 00:16:56.789
30 strokes per minute compared to as many as

00:16:56.789 --> 00:16:58.809
42 for his rivals, he usually led from the start,

00:16:58.909 --> 00:17:01.389
often toying with opponents. During his championship

00:17:01.389 --> 00:17:04.170
race against Morris, he slowed down, twice stopped

00:17:04.170 --> 00:17:06.109
altogether to enable the American to make a race

00:17:06.109 --> 00:17:08.740
of it, and he still won by three lengths. He

00:17:08.740 --> 00:17:12.059
competed with icy calm and mastered psyching

00:17:12.059 --> 00:17:14.519
out opponents with timely taunts. He had no qualms

00:17:14.519 --> 00:17:17.039
about humiliating those who he disliked. While

00:17:17.039 --> 00:17:18.680
racing the arrogant tricket, he chatted with

00:17:18.680 --> 00:17:20.920
spectators, blew them kisses, stopped and waited,

00:17:21.079 --> 00:17:23.720
faked a collapse, rode in zigzags while the Australian

00:17:23.720 --> 00:17:26.160
labored in his wake. And on one occasion, Hanlon

00:17:26.160 --> 00:17:28.579
crossed the line so far in front that he leisurely

00:17:28.579 --> 00:17:30.220
rode back to his opponent and then beat them

00:17:30.220 --> 00:17:32.880
again. So essentially, you know what that means?

00:17:33.359 --> 00:17:36.380
Especially during this time. You know what that

00:17:36.380 --> 00:17:39.519
sounds like? What does it sound like? It sounds

00:17:39.519 --> 00:17:43.220
like an interesting movie. It was all of that

00:17:43.220 --> 00:17:46.000
shit. I know. I mean, I wish they had done a

00:17:46.000 --> 00:17:47.740
little more of that kind of stuff. That was half

00:17:47.740 --> 00:17:50.859
of my notes, by the way, was just how much of

00:17:50.859 --> 00:17:53.839
a thing that they tried to make this up. But

00:17:53.839 --> 00:17:58.660
now knowing that bit more so than it makes a

00:17:58.660 --> 00:18:02.200
lot more sense. But I will say this. It sounds

00:18:02.200 --> 00:18:04.460
like everybody of the time period didn't know

00:18:04.460 --> 00:18:09.059
how to use their legs. that is exactly like as

00:18:09.059 --> 00:18:11.680
somebody trying to analyze this because the entire

00:18:11.680 --> 00:18:14.440
thing was he was the first person to use a slidey

00:18:14.440 --> 00:18:17.000
seat yeah instead of a greasy butt instead of

00:18:17.000 --> 00:18:20.200
a greasy butt on a literally just a board a board

00:18:20.200 --> 00:18:23.740
but literally bum boys oh greasy bum boys but

00:18:23.740 --> 00:18:26.750
literally The entire rest of the field didn't

00:18:26.750 --> 00:18:28.230
know how to use their legs in the rowing stroke,

00:18:28.390 --> 00:18:31.210
which is where 80 % of your power comes from

00:18:31.210 --> 00:18:34.990
if you listen to any rowing coach. So literally,

00:18:35.150 --> 00:18:37.430
they're not using 80 % of their power source.

00:18:37.690 --> 00:18:40.930
If you didn't use your legs, it would be the

00:18:40.930 --> 00:18:43.890
biggest handicap of all time to give somebody.

00:18:44.390 --> 00:18:46.529
So the sliding seat really changed the game.

00:18:47.089 --> 00:18:52.369
100%. It's honestly the biggest outside of...

00:18:52.640 --> 00:18:56.859
moving outside of ores and or literally the carbon

00:18:56.859 --> 00:19:00.720
fiber like rowing shell it's the it's the biggest

00:19:00.720 --> 00:19:03.460
invention to rowing yeah i mean doing this was

00:19:03.460 --> 00:19:09.039
a real bitch just hand paddling your way i'm

00:19:09.039 --> 00:19:11.640
sculling i'm sculling i'm sculling what i found

00:19:11.640 --> 00:19:15.880
fascinating about this story was the opening

00:19:15.880 --> 00:19:19.759
like the opening like text crawl that said you

00:19:19.759 --> 00:19:24.420
know before baseball and football there was called

00:19:24.420 --> 00:19:27.720
whatever it's called ruined and i all i could

00:19:27.720 --> 00:19:31.099
think was man there really was a sport more boring

00:19:31.099 --> 00:19:37.940
than baseball yeah it's soccer but oh oh 90 minutes

00:19:37.940 --> 00:19:40.400
of dudes running around in a field to get a draw

00:19:40.400 --> 00:19:44.599
and be happy about it fuck off sorry a tie a

00:19:44.599 --> 00:19:48.849
tie but legitimately like back in the day like

00:19:48.849 --> 00:19:53.009
even in seattle and across over to like the east

00:19:53.009 --> 00:19:56.210
coast like rowing was one of if not the biggest

00:19:56.210 --> 00:19:58.650
sport like there were there were crowds back

00:19:58.650 --> 00:20:01.769
in the day that were like 50 plus thousand watching

00:20:01.769 --> 00:20:04.730
rowing races back in the early like 1900s in

00:20:04.730 --> 00:20:06.450
seattle i mean there really wasn't much to do

00:20:06.450 --> 00:20:09.450
there was no booze because of fucking prohibition

00:20:09.450 --> 00:20:14.720
prohibition assholes no tv no But they do say

00:20:14.720 --> 00:20:15.680
that they want to shoot you. You're fucking with

00:20:15.680 --> 00:20:20.059
your clothes on. Yeah. Did anybody else find

00:20:20.059 --> 00:20:22.960
the cops in this just really freaking weird?

00:20:23.240 --> 00:20:25.460
Well, we've always watched Nick Cage movies and

00:20:25.460 --> 00:20:27.720
noted that the cops suck. There's only one cop

00:20:27.720 --> 00:20:29.519
that we've ever counted as good, and it was because

00:20:29.519 --> 00:20:32.319
Nick hated the movie and he killed one of the

00:20:32.319 --> 00:20:34.480
main characters. That's true. I didn't like that

00:20:34.480 --> 00:20:36.259
cop. Otherwise, all the cops are bad. They shoot

00:20:36.259 --> 00:20:39.339
so fucking fast. They're just assholes and bumbling

00:20:39.339 --> 00:20:41.619
morons. Typical cops. Typical cops. Yeah, cops

00:20:41.619 --> 00:20:45.079
suck. Fuck the police. I do love at the beginning

00:20:45.079 --> 00:20:47.400
of this film when the cops try and like get him

00:20:47.400 --> 00:20:50.180
while he's bootlegging. They like grab the they

00:20:50.180 --> 00:20:53.160
grab the rope to pull him in and like he just

00:20:53.160 --> 00:20:56.279
cuts the rope, hops out of the boat, which is

00:20:56.279 --> 00:20:58.480
like six inches deep and like starts running

00:20:58.480 --> 00:21:00.119
away. They could have just walked up to the boat

00:21:00.119 --> 00:21:02.339
and grabbed him. Yeah, you would think. Well.

00:21:02.829 --> 00:21:05.069
He was kind of out there. It was just a really

00:21:05.069 --> 00:21:08.309
shallow shore there. But yeah, they could have

00:21:08.309 --> 00:21:10.769
made a run for it instead. But, you know, cop

00:21:10.769 --> 00:21:14.230
boots, maybe. Maybe they don't get paid enough

00:21:14.230 --> 00:21:16.890
to. They didn't want to. They didn't want to

00:21:16.890 --> 00:21:19.190
clean all their nice, clean uniforms, you know,

00:21:19.230 --> 00:21:21.769
or they were rich. I think all the races should

00:21:21.769 --> 00:21:23.630
have been bootlegger races where it's all at

00:21:23.630 --> 00:21:25.329
nighttime and you have a boat full of fucking

00:21:25.329 --> 00:21:27.829
booze. That would have been sick. Outrunning

00:21:27.829 --> 00:21:32.589
the cops? Well, in that first scene where, or

00:21:32.589 --> 00:21:34.549
not first scene, it was when he gets back to

00:21:34.549 --> 00:21:36.769
his house where they're like, you should see

00:21:36.769 --> 00:21:39.509
him when he's running away from the cops. Like

00:21:39.509 --> 00:21:42.880
that would, I wanted to see more of that. More

00:21:42.880 --> 00:21:45.140
of the booze running? Yeah, like where he, I

00:21:45.140 --> 00:21:47.180
mean, shoot, in the one scene we do get of him

00:21:47.180 --> 00:21:49.619
running from the cops, he literally rose through

00:21:49.619 --> 00:21:53.019
one of their own boats. Yeah. Oh, I do have to

00:21:53.019 --> 00:21:56.000
say, this movie kicks ass. It has boat chases.

00:21:56.160 --> 00:21:57.480
It does have boat chases. The whole movie is

00:21:57.480 --> 00:22:00.140
boat chases. It's mostly boat chases, yeah. Yeah.

00:22:00.799 --> 00:22:04.059
And I love boat chases. This movie is like 60

00:22:04.059 --> 00:22:09.099
% boat chase, 40 % montage. Yeah. Very fair.

00:22:09.579 --> 00:22:12.230
Honestly, this movie is... Two separate training

00:22:12.230 --> 00:22:16.789
montages. Yeah, but they don't feel like montages.

00:22:16.789 --> 00:22:21.769
They feel like easygoing montages. Or sabotage

00:22:21.769 --> 00:22:25.950
montages. Was there a sabotage montage? Well,

00:22:25.970 --> 00:22:27.829
maybe not. No, there was just sabotage. Just

00:22:27.829 --> 00:22:31.750
sabotage. Just regular sabotage. Was it two or

00:22:31.750 --> 00:22:34.109
three sabotages in this? I got really confused.

00:22:34.309 --> 00:22:36.990
So, okay, they try to poison him at one point.

00:22:37.190 --> 00:22:39.859
Yeah. Oh, yeah. They try to beat the shit out

00:22:39.859 --> 00:22:41.859
of him a couple times. Okay, so there's three.

00:22:41.960 --> 00:22:43.740
Some of these are just good -natured fun, though.

00:22:43.859 --> 00:22:47.240
Yeah. Then his buddy Bill tries to sabotage Trickett

00:22:47.240 --> 00:22:49.940
by fucking with his seat, but I was very confused

00:22:49.940 --> 00:22:51.420
while I was watching that because I was like,

00:22:51.480 --> 00:22:54.319
is Bill being an asshole and fucking with Cage's

00:22:54.319 --> 00:22:56.599
seat? That was one that I actually understood

00:22:56.599 --> 00:22:59.839
what was going on there because they were all

00:22:59.839 --> 00:23:03.099
on the same payroll as Dingle McCringleberry.

00:23:03.359 --> 00:23:04.740
Yeah, Dingle McCringleberry. Are you talking

00:23:04.740 --> 00:23:08.130
about Knox? Knox. Knox. Also, Christopher Plummer

00:23:08.130 --> 00:23:11.109
as Knox was great. I loved him. Yeah. Amazing

00:23:11.109 --> 00:23:13.490
mustache. Amazing mustache. The real star of

00:23:13.490 --> 00:23:16.569
this movie are the mustaches. Very much so. Knox

00:23:16.569 --> 00:23:18.289
had one of my favorite quotes. I don't know if

00:23:18.289 --> 00:23:21.049
anybody else had that same quote, but. All right.

00:23:21.069 --> 00:23:25.450
So his. So Bill and Knox and Cage are sitting

00:23:25.450 --> 00:23:28.809
around and Knox is trying to convert. cage to

00:23:28.809 --> 00:23:32.369
come be his like his dude and bill says big words

00:23:32.369 --> 00:23:36.289
don't butter the beans colonel oh i'll see to

00:23:36.289 --> 00:23:40.809
it that everyone's beans get buttered it is such

00:23:40.809 --> 00:23:44.670
a good quote yeah that is a good one butter them

00:23:44.670 --> 00:23:48.630
beans uh if we're just doing some light quote

00:23:48.630 --> 00:23:52.170
work right now uh my my quote from this movie

00:23:52.170 --> 00:23:57.470
is boats are life who said that is that walter

00:23:59.170 --> 00:24:01.730
actually nobody said it i just forgot to write

00:24:01.730 --> 00:24:04.029
down a quote and then i went to like look up

00:24:04.029 --> 00:24:05.869
something again on the way and i was like oh

00:24:05.869 --> 00:24:07.869
there's only one quote apparently on the internet

00:24:07.869 --> 00:24:12.809
it's just something from nox so boats are life

00:24:12.809 --> 00:24:16.289
my quote is uh when they're trying to get um

00:24:16.289 --> 00:24:19.490
when bill's trying to get a boat for nick cage

00:24:19.490 --> 00:24:23.509
at the beginning of the movie and the guy he

00:24:23.509 --> 00:24:27.039
like had a deal with renegs they meet this kid's

00:24:27.039 --> 00:24:28.819
like this kid's like i can get you a boat it's

00:24:28.819 --> 00:24:32.759
like where it's like my quote is cost you a dollar

00:24:32.759 --> 00:24:37.980
and one of them cigaroos that was really good

00:24:37.980 --> 00:24:41.019
i love a good street urchin yeah right it's like

00:24:41.019 --> 00:24:44.900
that kid's gonna be dead in two years a dollar

00:24:44.900 --> 00:24:48.299
line made me think of a god what's the movie

00:24:48.299 --> 00:24:50.640
a million ways to die in the west when they bet

00:24:50.640 --> 00:24:53.900
a whole dollar that pulls out a dollar bill Everyone

00:24:53.900 --> 00:24:55.259
takes off their hat. It's like, take off your

00:24:55.259 --> 00:24:58.740
hat, boy. That's a dollar. I never saw that movie.

00:24:59.000 --> 00:25:01.339
Yeah, me either. It's actually pretty funny.

00:25:02.039 --> 00:25:04.980
It was right in like the saturation of Seth MacFarlane

00:25:04.980 --> 00:25:08.259
for me where I was like, I don't know. Yeah,

00:25:08.359 --> 00:25:12.099
I get it. I did also like the fact that Walter,

00:25:12.200 --> 00:25:15.319
as soon as he unveils the boat to these guys,

00:25:15.420 --> 00:25:18.259
that he's just so on the defensive. Like, yeah,

00:25:18.299 --> 00:25:21.000
this guy's making fun of me, too. And you think

00:25:21.000 --> 00:25:23.920
I'm queer in the head? Oh, yeah. Everybody thinks

00:25:23.920 --> 00:25:28.440
Walter's a kook. That was weird. That was a weird

00:25:28.440 --> 00:25:30.500
term of phrase, too, for that. Like, was that

00:25:30.500 --> 00:25:33.980
queer? Like queer in the head. Is that like for

00:25:33.980 --> 00:25:36.539
the time period? Absolutely. Just strange in

00:25:36.539 --> 00:25:39.240
the head. Just weird. I guess I'd never heard

00:25:39.240 --> 00:25:41.660
that term of phrase before watching this one.

00:25:41.680 --> 00:25:44.119
You can still be queer in the head and straight

00:25:44.119 --> 00:25:47.400
in the bed. Where is your curly mustache, sir?

00:25:47.559 --> 00:25:50.140
I know. I should have a sweet ass mustache like

00:25:50.140 --> 00:25:54.349
the colonel. Oh, that's what my nap did. I was

00:25:54.349 --> 00:25:56.869
supposed to go down to the fucking party store

00:25:56.869 --> 00:26:00.789
and buy a mustache today. Oh, fuck. Damn, that's

00:26:00.789 --> 00:26:02.170
disappointing. I don't think I have one in the

00:26:02.170 --> 00:26:05.829
costume box. I'm sorry. I'm looking at this cast

00:26:05.829 --> 00:26:09.230
on IMDb and like half the cast does not have

00:26:09.230 --> 00:26:14.650
like photos. Yeah, I mean. This movie was made

00:26:14.650 --> 00:26:18.390
for the CBC. If I remember right. Because it

00:26:18.390 --> 00:26:22.119
was weird that they cast Nick Cage, period. Yeah,

00:26:22.119 --> 00:26:24.920
except that he's, you know, in pretty good shape

00:26:24.920 --> 00:26:27.400
and he's had a couple of movies under his belt

00:26:27.400 --> 00:26:29.299
at this point. He was a bit of a name, but like

00:26:29.299 --> 00:26:31.660
it's weird for him to be a Canadian hero character

00:26:31.660 --> 00:26:34.259
as a non -Canadian, you know, when you could

00:26:34.259 --> 00:26:36.279
have probably found a jacked Canadian actor.

00:26:37.220 --> 00:26:40.460
Probably the people that made this film absolutely

00:26:40.460 --> 00:26:43.539
put a lot of care into the into the rowing side,

00:26:43.680 --> 00:26:46.400
because I've seen a lot of movies when it comes

00:26:46.400 --> 00:26:49.890
to this. and the rowing on it is, I mean, don't

00:26:49.890 --> 00:26:52.109
get me wrong, the rowing's not great in this,

00:26:52.269 --> 00:26:56.230
but it's still better than, even at points. What's

00:26:56.230 --> 00:26:58.869
your favorite rowing movie? At this point, it

00:26:58.869 --> 00:27:01.650
kind of defaults to Boys in the Boat, but like,

00:27:01.690 --> 00:27:04.769
the rowing in that, you could argue that it's

00:27:04.769 --> 00:27:08.210
worse than the stuff in this film. Yeah, what's

00:27:08.210 --> 00:27:10.430
like the field of dreams of rowing movies? So,

00:27:10.470 --> 00:27:12.509
Boys in the Boat, which is a fairly recent film,

00:27:12.630 --> 00:27:16.619
name another rowing movie. I can't because I

00:27:16.619 --> 00:27:20.400
don't know. Because I don't care. This is his

00:27:20.400 --> 00:27:22.960
third starring lead. This is his third starring

00:27:22.960 --> 00:27:25.420
role. So, I mean, it's still pretty new. Valley

00:27:25.420 --> 00:27:28.140
Girl and Birdie. Right. Which, I mean, Birdie's

00:27:28.140 --> 00:27:30.000
a great movie. Valley Girl is still high on my

00:27:30.000 --> 00:27:32.779
list, but arguably not a great Nick Cage performance.

00:27:33.420 --> 00:27:35.960
Better than this. This is like one of the laziest

00:27:35.960 --> 00:27:38.680
ones, I feel. For his early career, it's pretty

00:27:38.680 --> 00:27:41.400
lazy. Yeah, I feel like he probably just wasn't

00:27:41.400 --> 00:27:44.220
given a whole lot. on this one but he could have

00:27:44.220 --> 00:27:47.259
also been bored the the structure of the movie

00:27:47.259 --> 00:27:49.880
is very much still like valley girl honestly

00:27:49.880 --> 00:27:53.160
he he's a great cast for the character just based

00:27:53.160 --> 00:27:56.319
off of the iron or just looking at the description

00:27:56.319 --> 00:28:00.059
of the guy but we need more showboat oh yeah

00:28:00.059 --> 00:28:01.880
i agree especially that that description that

00:28:01.880 --> 00:28:03.519
i read you know it's like if they had played

00:28:03.519 --> 00:28:06.180
that part up where he's like really kind of a

00:28:06.180 --> 00:28:09.220
piece of shit yeah just just making the most

00:28:09.220 --> 00:28:12.339
arrogant asshole on the water to the point where

00:28:12.339 --> 00:28:15.119
he does it he just throws a wrench back after

00:28:15.119 --> 00:28:18.000
he after his rigor breaks right like where his

00:28:18.000 --> 00:28:20.480
oar connects to the boat just like just throw

00:28:20.480 --> 00:28:23.220
it back to the dude that swam across and just

00:28:23.220 --> 00:28:26.059
tighten it by fingers like that would be funny

00:28:26.059 --> 00:28:28.980
as fuck yeah i mean they definitely put in the

00:28:28.980 --> 00:28:32.680
effort to make this uh a competitive issue like

00:28:32.680 --> 00:28:35.460
yeah we have to show him like struggle and overcome

00:28:35.460 --> 00:28:38.589
almost lose yeah I mean, this is the problem

00:28:38.589 --> 00:28:42.690
with like an actual semi like this is essentially

00:28:42.690 --> 00:28:44.769
a biopic and it's one that wants to just paint

00:28:44.769 --> 00:28:48.690
the guy as like this virtuous, like all around

00:28:48.690 --> 00:28:52.210
likable good guy with no flaws, which makes for

00:28:52.210 --> 00:28:55.569
a very uninteresting character. Oh, look at this

00:28:55.569 --> 00:28:58.569
guy that was a drunk and now he's sober. I mean,

00:28:58.589 --> 00:29:00.289
they did try to play up some of that stuff where

00:29:00.289 --> 00:29:02.569
it's like he's missing a race or, you know, kind

00:29:02.569 --> 00:29:04.410
of fucking up and people are losing their money

00:29:04.410 --> 00:29:06.549
on him and all that kind of shit. Yeah, but.

00:29:07.150 --> 00:29:10.329
When he did get that egregious foul. His whole

00:29:10.329 --> 00:29:13.990
character is, in the beginning, a booze runner.

00:29:14.230 --> 00:29:18.980
Is that second race? I thought was so freaking

00:29:18.980 --> 00:29:21.279
funny and probably even more indicative to the

00:29:21.279 --> 00:29:24.819
time, too. He was like too hungover. He was too

00:29:24.819 --> 00:29:27.920
hungover. So everybody else puts the money on

00:29:27.920 --> 00:29:30.579
him, but they don't want to lose their money.

00:29:30.660 --> 00:29:35.259
So they just throw the race for everyone just

00:29:35.259 --> 00:29:37.700
so they win their money. Yeah, I like the people

00:29:37.700 --> 00:29:39.759
on the shore just like somebody fucking row.

00:29:40.180 --> 00:29:44.160
I crapped my back. I can't row. Yeah, that was

00:29:44.160 --> 00:29:46.930
pretty good. I like that. When he's at the fair

00:29:46.930 --> 00:29:49.950
before like his first race, what was that like

00:29:49.950 --> 00:29:52.789
steam powered like thing playing Camptown races?

00:29:53.669 --> 00:29:55.569
that's that's how much i cared about the plot

00:29:55.569 --> 00:29:57.009
of this film is like i just want to talk about

00:29:57.009 --> 00:29:59.490
like weird background shit well i mean that's

00:29:59.490 --> 00:30:00.970
the thing is there there isn't a crazy amount

00:30:00.970 --> 00:30:02.930
of plot to talk about it's like people are betting

00:30:02.930 --> 00:30:06.250
on him he kind of fails other people buy in and

00:30:06.250 --> 00:30:08.170
believe in him and he comes back and he's a victor

00:30:08.170 --> 00:30:12.509
yay you see one of the earliest ever rowing machines

00:30:12.509 --> 00:30:14.990
of all time which i want to call tortured devices

00:30:14.990 --> 00:30:21.029
because they suck Okay. Pains on the books. Those

00:30:21.029 --> 00:30:23.769
machines are torture. Rowing machines aren't

00:30:23.769 --> 00:30:27.170
cool anymore. 1878, get fucked. Yeah. Now, was

00:30:27.170 --> 00:30:29.630
it just the rope kinds that you didn't like or

00:30:29.630 --> 00:30:32.470
all rowing machines? Honestly, rowing machines

00:30:32.470 --> 00:30:35.650
in general, like as somebody that didn't have

00:30:35.650 --> 00:30:38.250
to hop on them as much. Because you weren't rowing.

00:30:39.789 --> 00:30:43.170
Admittedly so. The only guy on the boat who wasn't

00:30:43.170 --> 00:30:45.569
responsible for rowing. Hayden's rowing machine

00:30:45.569 --> 00:30:47.269
was a microphone that he just had to lean into

00:30:47.269 --> 00:30:51.289
and talk into. Correct, basically. But legitimately,

00:30:51.730 --> 00:30:56.309
they looked... I mean, I've never been a big

00:30:56.309 --> 00:30:58.589
fan of just machines in general that are cardio

00:30:58.589 --> 00:31:02.930
machines. Sure. Like treadmills or any of that.

00:31:02.990 --> 00:31:07.160
But like rowing machines in just general? They

00:31:07.160 --> 00:31:09.579
make you hurt way more than all the rest of them

00:31:09.579 --> 00:31:12.000
besides maybe the Versa machines, which are like

00:31:12.000 --> 00:31:15.000
the mountain climbing ones. But that's about

00:31:15.000 --> 00:31:18.039
it. Like it, they make you hurt way more. And

00:31:18.039 --> 00:31:20.819
when you're doing it right, you hurt the most.

00:31:21.579 --> 00:31:24.279
It's one of those that like you don't get the

00:31:24.279 --> 00:31:26.960
gratification of going any further. You just

00:31:26.960 --> 00:31:29.960
get bigger numbers on a screen and a louder fan.

00:31:30.440 --> 00:31:36.059
Yeah, I do like that loud fan. I was contemplating

00:31:36.059 --> 00:31:38.480
somehow borrowing one of these machines from

00:31:38.480 --> 00:31:40.440
somebody and making you row this entire time.

00:31:40.599 --> 00:31:43.380
Oh, that would suck. I think Bill has one. I

00:31:43.380 --> 00:31:45.640
know. Yeah. Oh, man. He actually has a good one,

00:31:45.660 --> 00:31:47.859
too. I think he has one of those. How would you

00:31:47.859 --> 00:31:50.240
sell the microphone for that? We would have had

00:31:50.240 --> 00:31:53.160
to get some sort of lapel. Yeah. No, you wouldn't.

00:31:53.160 --> 00:31:55.660
You would get me one of the like. Oh, yeah. The

00:31:55.660 --> 00:31:58.000
headsets with the little microphone in front.

00:31:58.420 --> 00:32:03.720
Like the. like the slap chop guy yeah you're

00:32:03.720 --> 00:32:06.660
gonna love my nuts watch this you're gonna love

00:32:06.660 --> 00:32:09.119
you would have to you would have to be like hi

00:32:09.119 --> 00:32:11.980
it's vince from slap chop i'm gonna make great

00:32:11.980 --> 00:32:14.779
food all day you would have to make it to where

00:32:14.779 --> 00:32:17.960
like you it's like a push to talk so that way

00:32:17.960 --> 00:32:19.980
you wouldn't just hear me breathing the entire

00:32:19.980 --> 00:32:23.839
time just heavily just you know you hate making

00:32:23.839 --> 00:32:29.400
salad Now I got to listen to Slap Chop Remix.

00:32:29.400 --> 00:32:36.279
Fucking amazing. I can't wait. Oh, God. Didn't

00:32:36.279 --> 00:32:37.779
that guy get beat up by a prostitute? She bit

00:32:37.779 --> 00:32:42.500
his tongue and like punched him in the face.

00:32:42.500 --> 00:32:45.720
His mugshot is so good. I love that his name

00:32:45.720 --> 00:32:50.859
is Vince Offer and he's a sales dude. That's

00:32:50.859 --> 00:32:54.720
brutal. That is Christian name. That is a government

00:32:54.720 --> 00:32:57.400
name. I think he's Jewish, but it is his government

00:32:57.400 --> 00:33:03.759
name. Oh, man. Hi, it's Vince from Slapjob. Gonna

00:33:03.759 --> 00:33:06.440
make great food all day. The skin comes right

00:33:06.440 --> 00:33:13.039
off. Jesus Christ. That's amazing. I haven't

00:33:13.039 --> 00:33:16.880
thought about that in so long. Okay, let's say

00:33:16.880 --> 00:33:19.849
something nice about this movie. Well, OK, so

00:33:19.849 --> 00:33:21.390
hang on before we do that, because that's a good

00:33:21.390 --> 00:33:24.410
idea. Let's do let's do something that I think

00:33:24.410 --> 00:33:26.309
is a boring part of this movie. What do you think

00:33:26.309 --> 00:33:29.529
about the relationship storyline arc in the whole

00:33:29.529 --> 00:33:32.150
thing with the lady who looks like Olivia Colman,

00:33:32.190 --> 00:33:35.549
but isn't an afterthought? I mean, again, it's

00:33:35.549 --> 00:33:37.250
just it's a biopic. It just goes by the numbers

00:33:37.250 --> 00:33:41.690
like they meet, they court, they marry the end.

00:33:42.490 --> 00:33:44.289
Yeah, I guess the drama is that she was previously

00:33:44.289 --> 00:33:49.000
engaged. Yeah, I enjoyed that, you know. She

00:33:49.000 --> 00:33:51.779
gets paid basically or like instructed by her

00:33:51.779 --> 00:33:56.500
uncle to lead him on just to like get him in

00:33:56.500 --> 00:34:00.700
their rowing pocket. And then it's like, oh,

00:34:00.799 --> 00:34:04.140
no, I can't. I feel guilty, but there's another

00:34:04.140 --> 00:34:07.660
man. And then it's like, I'm going to not be

00:34:07.660 --> 00:34:10.699
with you. That pisses him off. And that really

00:34:10.699 --> 00:34:14.650
gets him hot. I loved. when he like chases down

00:34:14.650 --> 00:34:18.449
the carriage and he's just like and he like takes

00:34:18.449 --> 00:34:20.110
his shirt off and he's just right there he's

00:34:20.110 --> 00:34:23.730
like fucking look at me no i know what my favorite

00:34:23.730 --> 00:34:28.909
quote was it was when uh cage early on said i

00:34:28.909 --> 00:34:33.130
look bigger without my clothes on oh god that

00:34:33.130 --> 00:34:35.909
was a fucking slap of a line i fucking loved

00:34:35.909 --> 00:34:38.269
it yeah honestly margaret had a few good lines

00:34:38.269 --> 00:34:40.820
too yeah I mean, her character is pretty good.

00:34:40.920 --> 00:34:44.039
The romance is kind of lame. Yeah. Also, I loved

00:34:44.039 --> 00:34:45.980
watching him chase that carriage down, but I

00:34:45.980 --> 00:34:48.179
was watching it at 2x at that point, and it is

00:34:48.179 --> 00:34:51.260
hilarious. A little Benny Hill music. Well, because

00:34:51.260 --> 00:34:53.000
I was just like, oh, shit, he's really cooking.

00:34:53.400 --> 00:34:57.219
I was like, oh, right, right. Double speed. Honestly,

00:34:59.619 --> 00:35:03.059
the what was it when he takes her out on the

00:35:03.059 --> 00:35:05.030
water for the first time? With the old lady.

00:35:05.030 --> 00:35:08.590
With her aunt there, just on the boat. And she

00:35:08.590 --> 00:35:10.969
just is like, yeah, I give you permission to

00:35:10.969 --> 00:35:13.750
kiss me. Oh, yeah. Do you want to wake up now?

00:35:14.710 --> 00:35:17.889
Yeah. Yeah, she was pretty fun, actually. He

00:35:17.889 --> 00:35:20.389
got his beans buttered for sure. I did. I did

00:35:20.389 --> 00:35:23.030
enjoy his. I did enjoy his friendship with Bill.

00:35:23.429 --> 00:35:25.449
They kind of they had a good thing. And they

00:35:25.449 --> 00:35:27.429
even had a call back to their like, you take

00:35:27.429 --> 00:35:30.130
the two on the right at the end when Bill's getting

00:35:30.130 --> 00:35:33.989
his ass kicked. Yeah. Bill comes around. Yeah,

00:35:34.010 --> 00:35:36.150
the ending being a freeze frame of them about

00:35:36.150 --> 00:35:39.130
to fight some dudes is pretty solid. Yeah, I

00:35:39.130 --> 00:35:41.389
do like you take the two on the left when they're

00:35:41.389 --> 00:35:44.489
only fighting two guys. But that is good imagery.

00:35:44.730 --> 00:35:48.110
Yeah, this is like one of the most 80s films

00:35:48.110 --> 00:35:53.170
that's ever been just. You mean 1880s? I will

00:35:53.170 --> 00:35:55.690
say the soundtrack, like all the songs. fucking

00:35:55.690 --> 00:35:58.530
this oh yeah the synth music was kind of strange

00:35:58.530 --> 00:36:01.409
the all the music and then the title crawl at

00:36:01.409 --> 00:36:04.690
the beginning and the end the jump cuts from

00:36:04.690 --> 00:36:06.889
where there's music being played and then just

00:36:06.889 --> 00:36:09.170
all of a sudden nothing yeah that was kind of

00:36:09.170 --> 00:36:10.809
strange i thought there was like a weird cut

00:36:10.809 --> 00:36:13.070
you know like it just all of a sudden was dead

00:36:13.070 --> 00:36:15.570
is whoa what the fuck you're like how did you

00:36:15.570 --> 00:36:17.909
get here pay attention to this scene now yeah

00:36:17.909 --> 00:36:19.750
immediately forget that music don't worry about

00:36:19.750 --> 00:36:22.510
it he's got a shirt on now yeah don't listen

00:36:22.510 --> 00:36:25.889
to that music first time i watched this film

00:36:25.889 --> 00:36:28.269
i was really bored and kept like oh just the

00:36:28.269 --> 00:36:31.590
first time kind of coming in and out of it i

00:36:31.590 --> 00:36:33.329
paid you know second time when i knew what was

00:36:33.329 --> 00:36:35.070
going on i noticed a few more things but i kept

00:36:35.070 --> 00:36:37.309
like getting in and out and easily distracted

00:36:37.309 --> 00:36:40.010
yeah every time i'd like look back at the screen

00:36:40.010 --> 00:36:42.469
and like being a complete completely different

00:36:42.469 --> 00:36:46.150
place i'm like what did i miss i rewound a few

00:36:46.150 --> 00:36:48.630
times like no it's just that's just a weird cut

00:36:48.630 --> 00:36:51.829
yeah the editing in this movie wasn't terrific

00:36:52.720 --> 00:36:55.159
um you know there's there's technical aspects

00:36:55.159 --> 00:36:59.219
of this movie that we're just kind of but did

00:36:59.219 --> 00:37:02.039
you guys see what the box office was on it no

00:37:02.039 --> 00:37:05.079
i didn't oh is it in canadian money so yeah it's

00:37:05.079 --> 00:37:07.159
both yeah so what do you think the budget of

00:37:07.159 --> 00:37:14.139
this was canadian dollars 1989 1989 18 million

00:37:14.139 --> 00:37:18.099
canadians far less i would have gone i probably

00:37:18.099 --> 00:37:21.989
would have gone i would have gone 10 $10 million?

00:37:22.150 --> 00:37:26.110
Less. $4 million, Canadians. Yeah, $7 .7 million

00:37:26.110 --> 00:37:29.369
was the budget for this movie. And then what

00:37:29.369 --> 00:37:32.789
do you think it made box office? $2 million.

00:37:33.869 --> 00:37:36.469
It has a two in it. It's not that big, though.

00:37:36.849 --> 00:37:43.170
Oh, no! Was it $200 ,000? $275 ,000. No! Oh,

00:37:43.789 --> 00:37:47.590
wow. Nice. That's so bad. That's pretty rough.

00:37:47.789 --> 00:37:52.019
But also, let's be real. the it's a story of

00:37:52.019 --> 00:37:55.340
the first guy to have a slidey seat yeah that's

00:37:55.340 --> 00:37:57.940
that's the first not grease bum boy he was the

00:37:57.940 --> 00:38:01.559
first guy to not put grease on his butt which

00:38:01.559 --> 00:38:05.199
honestly the scene of everybody everybody putting

00:38:05.199 --> 00:38:08.940
up yes exactly everybody getting lubed up in

00:38:08.940 --> 00:38:11.360
uh freaking philly and just laughing and having

00:38:11.360 --> 00:38:13.679
a good time at it oh yeah they're like oh that

00:38:13.679 --> 00:38:16.599
guy's not greasing his butt what a chump so what

00:38:16.599 --> 00:38:18.639
you're saying is he was the first First person

00:38:18.639 --> 00:38:20.320
to raw dog it. Yeah, he is the first person to

00:38:20.320 --> 00:38:22.719
raw dog it. You're right. Nick Cage never wraps

00:38:22.719 --> 00:38:27.699
it. Never does. But speaking of all the races

00:38:27.699 --> 00:38:31.380
and stuff, I was looking through... We're jumping

00:38:31.380 --> 00:38:34.699
right into the racism, right? Obviously. I want

00:38:34.699 --> 00:38:36.980
to tell you about all the races. All into the

00:38:36.980 --> 00:38:41.840
races. That was some of my very first notes on

00:38:41.840 --> 00:38:45.909
this. The opening scene. on there oh and they're

00:38:45.909 --> 00:38:48.090
like paddle boats yeah when they're literally

00:38:48.090 --> 00:38:51.469
in the big tanker like rowboats and stuff uh

00:38:51.469 --> 00:38:54.389
very much so they're very much in dinghies the

00:38:54.389 --> 00:38:57.250
guy that was leading the race looked like he

00:38:57.250 --> 00:39:00.329
was rowing the freaking slowest he was the slowest

00:39:00.329 --> 00:39:02.769
freaking boat in there you look at like the strokes

00:39:02.769 --> 00:39:05.550
that he's making there they're the shortest of

00:39:05.550 --> 00:39:09.139
the strokes And he is rowing like it's like the

00:39:09.139 --> 00:39:11.000
slowest. You go with what you know, man. He is

00:39:11.000 --> 00:39:13.400
like the slowest stroke rate and the smallest

00:39:13.400 --> 00:39:16.039
stroke. And it's just like, how the hell are

00:39:16.039 --> 00:39:18.059
you in front of all these other guys that look

00:39:18.059 --> 00:39:20.619
like they're rowing halfway competently? And

00:39:20.619 --> 00:39:25.079
it's just like, what the actual hell am I watching?

00:39:25.300 --> 00:39:28.619
Oh, man. For that first race. Although it was

00:39:28.619 --> 00:39:32.360

tell you know what i'm looking forward to most

00:39:56.369 --> 00:39:59.150
about this episode whatever what you're gonna

00:39:59.150 --> 00:40:01.550
do with all of those clean cuts of hayden talking

00:40:01.550 --> 00:40:04.440
about stroking it's just gonna be a super cut

00:40:04.440 --> 00:40:06.079
we're actually gonna cut us out it's just gonna

00:40:06.079 --> 00:40:07.760
be hayden yeah actually nick and i have been

00:40:07.760 --> 00:40:10.579
muted this entire time yeah it's gonna be the

00:40:10.579 --> 00:40:15.320
new slap shot remix hi it's hayden with stroking

00:40:15.320 --> 00:40:22.260
you're gonna love my skin all day short strokes

00:40:22.260 --> 00:40:29.219
watch this you're gonna love my nuts holy shit

00:40:29.219 --> 00:40:31.059
we gotta watch that immediately oh absolutely

00:40:32.219 --> 00:40:34.199
I don't know if I like this movie. I think I

00:40:34.199 --> 00:40:38.119
don't. I get it. I think it was a little too

00:40:38.119 --> 00:40:43.519
biopic 80s for me, but like I didn't hate it.

00:40:44.059 --> 00:40:47.980
I thought it was better than what the Rotten

00:40:47.980 --> 00:40:51.179
Tomatoes was in terms of just percentage. I didn't

00:40:51.179 --> 00:40:53.360
even look at what it was. It was like a 50 something.

00:40:53.579 --> 00:40:56.420
It was like a 54. That's not bad. Yeah, I'd put

00:40:56.420 --> 00:41:00.519
it about about a 54, 56. Like I was expecting

00:41:00.519 --> 00:41:03.780
to. just absolutely hate the majority of this

00:41:03.780 --> 00:41:06.980
and it was like you know what not nearly as bad

00:41:06.980 --> 00:41:10.159
yeah and well and ultimately that's my problem

00:41:10.159 --> 00:41:12.760
with the film is it's not good but it's not bad

00:41:12.760 --> 00:41:14.840
enough where it's entertaining it's very mid

00:41:14.840 --> 00:41:17.900
and that's the worst thing a film can do for

00:41:17.900 --> 00:41:20.079
me that's fair yeah i mean if something's a real

00:41:20.079 --> 00:41:21.880
stinker it's easy to then like dunk on it and

00:41:21.880 --> 00:41:23.719
have fun with that if something's really great

00:41:23.719 --> 00:41:26.380
obviously you know you cheers it on but when

00:41:26.380 --> 00:41:29.559
something is just like it's good enough for what

00:41:29.559 --> 00:41:33.179
i needed of it yeah i watched an hour and 40

00:41:33.179 --> 00:41:36.380
minutes of that also okay so for the final race

00:41:36.380 --> 00:41:38.920
did you guys think any of that was weird at all

00:41:38.920 --> 00:41:43.280
in the final that final race against uh tell

00:41:43.280 --> 00:41:45.059
me about the stroke what was wrong with the stroke

00:41:45.059 --> 00:41:49.260
yeah okay so like so short or long was it weak

00:41:49.260 --> 00:41:53.119
so the entire time for me looking at this because

00:41:53.119 --> 00:41:56.530
believe it or not the actor for a trick it the

00:41:56.530 --> 00:42:01.030
Aussie guy, he actually has a fairly solid, he

00:42:01.030 --> 00:42:04.489
actually rode fairly competent. He actually gets

00:42:04.489 --> 00:42:06.929
to full slide, which means he actually takes

00:42:06.929 --> 00:42:09.670
a full stroke. Hi, it's Vince with Slap Chop.

00:42:11.489 --> 00:42:14.510
He takes a full stroke. He actually looks like

00:42:14.510 --> 00:42:18.250
he knows what he's doing. He rose halfway clumsily,

00:42:18.349 --> 00:42:21.130
but hey, he actually knows, he actually does

00:42:21.130 --> 00:42:26.460
one. Cage, on the other hand, on this. He only

00:42:26.460 --> 00:42:29.199
gets to like half slide. He only ever takes like

00:42:29.199 --> 00:42:32.019
half a stroke. Do you think he's too tall for

00:42:32.019 --> 00:42:35.239
the boat provided for him? Oh, no. That it literally

00:42:35.239 --> 00:42:38.159
is just he got too uncomfortable and you can

00:42:38.159 --> 00:42:40.179
kind of tell with the way he's coming forward

00:42:40.179 --> 00:42:42.480
and everything. Like that's one of those things

00:42:42.480 --> 00:42:44.780
that it's it's I guess those little things where

00:42:44.780 --> 00:42:47.079
it's like, come on, man. I know you're racing

00:42:47.079 --> 00:42:50.699
this guy. Just just just cut the footage to where

00:42:50.699 --> 00:42:53.949
like he actually takes a full stroke. during

00:42:53.949 --> 00:42:56.349
those pieces and just keep re -showing that stroke

00:42:56.349 --> 00:42:59.809
one stroke i don't care i don't care they cut

00:42:59.809 --> 00:43:04.329
it well like come on like these guys these the

00:43:04.329 --> 00:43:06.449
way that they cut this movie in terms of the

00:43:06.449 --> 00:43:10.829
rowing side otherwise i mean yes they the margins

00:43:10.829 --> 00:43:14.530
on this for like the the fact that cage was literally

00:43:14.530 --> 00:43:18.050
down like what looked like over like 500 meters

00:43:18.050 --> 00:43:21.349
at one point like four to 500 meters like he

00:43:21.349 --> 00:43:24.429
was he was down an entire curve around a river

00:43:24.429 --> 00:43:28.489
at one point in the final yeah like that was

00:43:28.489 --> 00:43:30.809
something i was like okay guys come on now can

00:43:30.809 --> 00:43:33.090
you can you don't have to embellish that bad

00:43:33.090 --> 00:43:34.449
yeah i mean that's the kind of stuff where i

00:43:34.449 --> 00:43:36.269
think if they had set up earlier that like he

00:43:36.269 --> 00:43:38.710
is this badass that like just toyed with people

00:43:38.710 --> 00:43:40.670
where it's like oh you can make up ground like

00:43:40.670 --> 00:43:44.809
maybe that would be more of a play yeah that

00:43:44.809 --> 00:43:48.449
seems like a whole nother like story to try to

00:43:48.449 --> 00:43:51.059
add on yeah So they were definitely trying to

00:43:51.059 --> 00:43:54.800
just hit like a couple historical markers and

00:43:54.800 --> 00:43:58.159
Canada can't make fun of their own guy. Yo, did

00:43:58.159 --> 00:44:00.900
you guys know when Canada got their flag? I didn't

00:44:00.900 --> 00:44:04.559
realize this. It was like 1960. Really? Yeah,

00:44:04.639 --> 00:44:06.260
man. 60s? That's why they have all those British

00:44:06.260 --> 00:44:08.260
flags. I mean, I kind of got the British flag.

00:44:08.260 --> 00:44:09.880
I mean, they were still like a British colony.

00:44:09.880 --> 00:44:11.679
Not at that point. They had just become their

00:44:11.679 --> 00:44:13.519
own. That was like their big thing. It was their

00:44:13.519 --> 00:44:16.619
like, yay. Hey, we're our own country. Now stop

00:44:16.619 --> 00:44:19.380
drinking beer. Yeah, no more booze and we're

00:44:19.380 --> 00:44:21.460
going to still wave the same flag. Well, that

00:44:21.460 --> 00:44:23.300
was the whole. Thank God we've thrown off the

00:44:23.300 --> 00:44:25.639
shackles of British tyranny and we can finally

00:44:25.639 --> 00:44:30.480
be sober. Fuck me. So where do you guys put this

00:44:30.480 --> 00:44:34.050
in the like grid good cage? Bad movie, good,

00:44:34.130 --> 00:44:39.650
bad, bad, good. Sean, bad, good, bad. Bad, caged,

00:44:39.750 --> 00:44:43.969
mediocre movie. It's like it's not, again, it's

00:44:43.969 --> 00:44:45.690
not bad enough to be entertaining, so I don't

00:44:45.690 --> 00:44:49.530
even want to give it that much credit. I'd give

00:44:49.530 --> 00:44:52.630
it a fine, fine. I don't think it's like a bad

00:44:52.630 --> 00:44:56.090
performance. It's not necessarily like riveting

00:44:56.090 --> 00:45:01.000
or like impassioned, but. He's not doing things

00:45:01.000 --> 00:45:03.900
that take me away from the film. Fair enough.

00:45:04.500 --> 00:45:08.219
Yeah. I mean, this could be just directorially.

00:45:08.679 --> 00:45:10.659
So this could be one of those things where he

00:45:10.659 --> 00:45:14.280
just didn't have any kind of room to play with

00:45:14.280 --> 00:45:16.219
the character. They're just like, no, we need

00:45:16.219 --> 00:45:18.320
it this way. Just do it this way. Ned Hanlon

00:45:18.320 --> 00:45:21.519
strokes this way. Yeah. He's always at a 45 when

00:45:21.519 --> 00:45:26.460
he strokes this way. Just solid. Yeah. So what

00:45:26.460 --> 00:45:29.980
are you straight in the middle? It's it's one

00:45:29.980 --> 00:45:32.980
of those are just like like looking at this.

00:45:34.400 --> 00:45:37.940
From my perspective, I'd I'd probably go maybe

00:45:37.940 --> 00:45:41.239
just a six. But it is your second favorite rowing

00:45:41.239 --> 00:45:46.420
film. There's not many. This is this is easily

00:45:46.420 --> 00:45:51.519
like, oh, well, is this the Rudy of rowing? It's

00:45:51.519 --> 00:45:55.360
worse. Oh, Rudy was off sides, by the way. Rudy.

00:45:55.519 --> 00:45:58.230
I mean, that's just not a good movie. it's heart

00:45:58.230 --> 00:46:02.869
well it's heartwarming i guess but that's also

00:46:02.869 --> 00:46:05.670
not a nick cage film that's true yeah i think

00:46:05.670 --> 00:46:07.989
if i were to give this movie a percentage rating

00:46:07.989 --> 00:46:11.269
i would give it a 54 oh yeah let's let's all

00:46:11.269 --> 00:46:13.449
grade it differently so we've got a 54 we've

00:46:13.449 --> 00:46:17.730
got a six six uh i'll give it like two and a

00:46:17.730 --> 00:46:20.349
half bags of chips okay how many strokes do you

00:46:20.349 --> 00:46:24.389
give it sean yeah oh i mean at no point was i

00:46:24.389 --> 00:46:27.340
excited during this movie so i guess a lot of

00:46:27.340 --> 00:46:30.840
strokes just like nothing nothing about this

00:46:30.840 --> 00:46:33.380
movie brings me to climax yeah fair enough i

00:46:33.380 --> 00:46:35.239
don't know final thoughts what do you got anything

00:46:35.239 --> 00:46:37.980
to wrap this sucker up this movie would have

00:46:37.980 --> 00:46:41.960
been great if reese darby played trinket yes

00:46:41.960 --> 00:46:44.519
i had the same thought except he would have been

00:46:44.519 --> 00:46:50.960
like what four or something like that yeah no

00:46:50.960 --> 00:46:55.539
he's older than that 10 i don't know Yeah. Maybe

00:46:55.539 --> 00:46:59.079
he was that kid who wanted a cigaroo. He just

00:46:59.079 --> 00:47:01.780
got that nice cigaroo. I'm Reese Darby. Honestly,

00:47:02.400 --> 00:47:06.139
could we have made Trickett be the main character

00:47:06.139 --> 00:47:08.340
of this and just had a lot more fun with this

00:47:08.340 --> 00:47:12.059
movie? Because Trickett was such a better character.

00:47:12.320 --> 00:47:14.019
Oh, yeah. But then we'd be making an Australian

00:47:14.019 --> 00:47:17.239
movie. Well, Hayden, thanks for being here. Thanks

00:47:17.239 --> 00:47:19.260
for telling us about rowing and stroking and,

00:47:19.320 --> 00:47:23.519
you know, yelling at dudes. Yeah. And legitimately,

00:47:23.679 --> 00:47:28.079
I was a little bit more surprised on the rowing

00:47:28.079 --> 00:47:31.619
side, because honestly, boys in the boat didn't

00:47:31.619 --> 00:47:34.219
do as great of a job on the rowing side, even

00:47:34.219 --> 00:47:36.420
though they at least made it to where it was

00:47:36.420 --> 00:47:39.500
the same actors that were rowing. Do you think

00:47:39.500 --> 00:47:42.239
they had a stroke coach? They probably they had

00:47:42.239 --> 00:47:44.780
to have. They had to have. They had to have had

00:47:44.780 --> 00:47:49.099
a coach on the on the lodge. They had to. My

00:47:49.099 --> 00:47:51.639
dream job. Do they want to call it a stroke coach?

00:47:51.980 --> 00:47:55.380
No. No, they call it a coxswain. They had a coxswain

00:47:55.380 --> 00:47:57.260
in the back, but they obviously had a coach on

00:47:57.260 --> 00:48:01.880
the launch for sure. But no, it was better than

00:48:01.880 --> 00:48:04.460
expected. A coxswain in the back and a coach

00:48:04.460 --> 00:48:07.239
on the launch. You know what? I'm just going

00:48:07.239 --> 00:48:09.119
to say what we're all thinking. Dragon boating,

00:48:09.199 --> 00:48:12.119
better. Better. You got the guy with the drum.

00:48:12.179 --> 00:48:13.659
You got the person who has to lean off the front

00:48:13.659 --> 00:48:15.760
of the thing and grab the flag. Much more interesting.

00:48:16.360 --> 00:48:18.320
All right. Well, thank you all for listening.

00:48:18.400 --> 00:48:20.420
You can find us on social media if you really

00:48:20.420 --> 00:48:23.800
care, or if you want to talk to us on Patreon,

00:48:23.880 --> 00:48:26.440
we're on there at cage match pod or cage match.

00:48:26.480 --> 00:48:29.559
Nope. Cage match. And thank you to our sparkle

00:48:29.559 --> 00:48:34.219
buddies, Josh, Josie, Rico, Matt, Adam, Bill,

00:48:34.260 --> 00:48:37.599
and Stuart. And to our cage dancers, Ira, John

00:48:37.599 --> 00:48:41.179
Freeman, Nathan, and Cameron. Also thanks to

00:48:41.179 --> 00:48:44.980
Bill Panks for our intro music. And that's that.

00:48:46.019 --> 00:48:55.480
Nice. Gonna make great food all day. Bye -bye.

00:48:59.199 --> 00:49:03.719
Aiden, why aren't you on the Patreon? Honestly?

00:49:04.969 --> 00:49:06.909
That's a very valid question, and I appreciate

00:49:06.909 --> 00:49:10.090
it. Now is the time where we just bring people

00:49:10.090 --> 00:49:12.050
on who have never given us money and be like,

00:49:12.170 --> 00:49:14.750
hey, why haven't you paid us yet? Or listen to

00:49:14.750 --> 00:49:17.949
our show. We have a special tier of Patreon for

00:49:17.949 --> 00:49:20.190
people who haven't paid. It's really expensive.

00:49:21.030 --> 00:49:24.369
Nice. But it helps you catch up. I was going

00:49:24.369 --> 00:49:25.829
to say, I guess Hayden is a silent investor.

00:49:26.170 --> 00:49:29.670
That's true. I was one of the investors in the

00:49:29.670 --> 00:49:31.690
board. You were a progenitor of the original

00:49:31.690 --> 00:49:34.829
tech that we got started with all this. And we

00:49:34.829 --> 00:49:37.349
did record in your room one time. Wait, what?

00:49:37.469 --> 00:49:41.110
Never mind. Don't worry about it. What did you?

00:49:41.190 --> 00:49:43.829
Okay. Where would you guys put the freaking microphones?

00:49:43.849 --> 00:49:45.789
Just like on the bedpost? We probably put it

00:49:45.789 --> 00:49:49.230
on the table. Yeah. Oh my God. We did a full

00:49:49.230 --> 00:49:51.769
set up. I want a video of this. If you listen

00:49:51.769 --> 00:49:53.309
to our podcast, you would have heard the story

00:49:53.309 --> 00:49:54.889
like five times by now. That's also the episode

00:49:54.889 --> 00:49:57.889
where I got really mad at everybody. It was also

00:49:57.889 --> 00:50:00.250
Doggy Dog. It was a terrible episode. It was

00:50:00.250 --> 00:50:02.190
a bad day. Doggy Dog and Ghost Rider? Fuck that.

00:50:02.469 --> 00:50:07.989
Was Rosie at least on the bed? No. No. Her little

00:50:07.989 --> 00:50:09.510
clickety -clacks are too loud. Hayden, why did

00:50:09.510 --> 00:50:12.670
you have a computer chair but no desk? Because

00:50:12.670 --> 00:50:15.429
I didn't need one. I'm a flight attendant. Stroke

00:50:15.429 --> 00:50:18.369
practice. Stroke practice. Also, running around

00:50:18.369 --> 00:50:21.289
the apartment on hardwood floors with a rolly

00:50:21.289 --> 00:50:23.170
chair? Great. Yeah, fair enough. That's true.

00:50:23.829 --> 00:50:27.230
Respect that. Underrated. I get it. All right.

00:50:27.269 --> 00:50:29.110
Thanks for being here, Hayden. Hey, that's Eric's

00:50:29.110 --> 00:50:32.929
cup chair to you. Cuck chair? Cuck chair. Wait,

00:50:33.070 --> 00:50:34.829
you want an Eric chair or a cuck chair? No, that's

00:50:34.829 --> 00:50:37.309
only Eric's cuck chair. I'd never have used it

00:50:37.309 --> 00:50:40.050
since because of it. Oh, boy. All right. We'll

00:50:40.050 --> 00:50:41.869
end on that note. Wait, no. I need context here.
