I got a good connect here, so 00:01:30.280 --> 00:01:32.099 I'll ask him why it's called Beantown. I'm sure 00:01:32.099 --> 00:01:35.140 they learned it in school. Yeah. Does he have 00:01:35.140 --> 00:01:39.159 the thick accent that I can't mock? Mm -hmm. 00:01:39.159 --> 00:01:41.599 He does. I can't do a good Boston. He's like 00:01:41.599 --> 00:01:45.340 if Peter Griffin was just a real dude. He's like 00:01:45.340 --> 00:01:47.099 the dude that Peter Griffin would be based off 00:01:47.099 --> 00:01:53.739 of. He's very New England and he's very, he's 00:01:53.739 --> 00:01:56.159 a nice guy. A lot of people here aren't nice. 00:01:56.599 --> 00:01:58.859 I think that's just the Northeast in general. 00:01:59.599 --> 00:02:02.379 I think they just think that they've got a lot 00:02:02.379 --> 00:02:05.000 going on when they really don't. I will live 00:02:05.000 --> 00:02:07.019 and die by Noah Khan's music, despite the fact 00:02:07.019 --> 00:02:09.979 that I've been to the Northeast once in my life. 00:02:10.680 --> 00:02:13.539 Yeah. So for those that don't know, Beantown, 00:02:13.680 --> 00:02:17.490 Boston, Massachusetts, you could give me. 20 00:02:17.490 --> 00:02:19.729 tries. I couldn't spell Massachusetts right. 00:02:20.430 --> 00:02:23.770 I was looking up something in Massachusetts the 00:02:23.770 --> 00:02:26.150 other day, and I swear to God I spelled it four 00:02:26.150 --> 00:02:29.110 different kinds of wrong. There's too many double 00:02:29.110 --> 00:02:32.069 letters. At some point, just relax a little. 00:02:32.490 --> 00:02:36.129 I agree. I agree. Sets shouldn't have two Ts. 00:02:36.189 --> 00:02:40.689 That's stupid. What about some Quaker pilgrim 00:02:40.689 --> 00:02:43.849 nonsense that is just a holdover? We're okay 00:02:43.849 --> 00:02:46.650 to mock the Quakers, right? They're not going 00:02:46.650 --> 00:02:50.830 to hear this. Yeah. Yeah, I think they'd be fine. 00:02:50.909 --> 00:02:52.789 And even if they did hear it and they got a little 00:02:52.789 --> 00:02:55.330 upset, they can't do anything about it. Quakers 00:02:55.330 --> 00:02:59.509 are pacifists. Are they? Didn't know that. You 00:02:59.509 --> 00:03:02.009 didn't know that's like their big thing? That 00:03:02.009 --> 00:03:04.669 they're pacifists? I know zero things about the 00:03:04.669 --> 00:03:08.530 Quakers outside of the oats. Yeah, well, you're 00:03:08.530 --> 00:03:11.509 not going to see him kicking anyone's ass. He's 00:03:11.509 --> 00:03:15.490 going to try to solve his... disagreements through 00:03:15.490 --> 00:03:22.210 words oh okay like rap battle style or yeah yeah 00:03:22.210 --> 00:03:26.289 an epic rap battle of history did you ever watch 00:03:26.289 --> 00:03:29.189 those on youtube i loved those i haven't seen 00:03:29.189 --> 00:03:32.129 they just posted a new one pretty recently i 00:03:32.129 --> 00:03:35.830 think it's probably like trump and elon i haven't 00:03:35.830 --> 00:03:37.409 watched that i didn't know they still did them 00:03:37.409 --> 00:03:42.150 the brain rot is the brain rot is real you tired 00:03:42.150 --> 00:03:47.030 of hearing about good old dj t and and musky 00:03:47.030 --> 00:03:50.629 mus i haven't heard anything really about the 00:03:50.629 --> 00:03:54.150 two of them together since uh since his black 00:03:54.150 --> 00:03:55.830 eye and he got kicked out of the white house 00:03:55.830 --> 00:04:00.310 no since uh you know about that they were beefing 00:04:00.310 --> 00:04:04.150 on their individual platforms yelling into the 00:04:04.150 --> 00:04:07.409 ether that was right after he was seen at the 00:04:07.409 --> 00:04:10.039 white house with a black eye and then no longer 00:04:10.039 --> 00:04:12.300 was a contractor for the government or doing 00:04:12.300 --> 00:04:14.599 whatever in whatever capacity for the government 00:04:14.599 --> 00:04:17.079 that he was doing. Does that mean no more Doge? 00:04:17.100 --> 00:04:21.660 Oh, no. I don't know. I don't know. But I did 00:04:21.660 --> 00:04:23.920 spend some time driving around Boston today. 00:04:25.800 --> 00:04:27.939 I rolled down the window. I yelled at all the 00:04:27.939 --> 00:04:33.339 nerds at Harvard. I said, go Yale. Yeah. Like 00:04:33.339 --> 00:04:36.279 three miles down the road, passed by MIT, told 00:04:36.279 --> 00:04:41.810 them to suck it and Caltech is better. And then 00:04:41.810 --> 00:04:45.370 I got caught up in all the traffic by Harvard 00:04:45.370 --> 00:04:51.329 and MIT and regretted it. Took me like, I don't 00:04:51.329 --> 00:04:54.970 know, 20 minutes to get five miles. Nonsense. 00:04:55.089 --> 00:04:56.589 And just the summer. I don't know why it's so 00:04:56.589 --> 00:05:01.310 busy over there. Yeah. This is when all the alums 00:05:01.310 --> 00:05:04.970 are at their worst. People who never leave Boston. 00:05:05.430 --> 00:05:09.439 Yeah. MIT nerds, you got... Harvard nerds, and 00:05:09.439 --> 00:05:12.759 you got the frickin' townies. The frickin' townies. 00:05:13.500 --> 00:05:17.220 The frickin' townies. The ones that hate the 00:05:17.220 --> 00:05:19.699 first two. Don't all of them hate all of the 00:05:19.699 --> 00:05:21.860 other ones? I would assume that there's probably 00:05:21.860 --> 00:05:26.079 bad blood between Harvard and MIT, but they both 00:05:26.079 --> 00:05:28.100 hate the townies. The townies hate them. The 00:05:28.100 --> 00:05:30.420 only difference is that the townies can back 00:05:30.420 --> 00:05:38.139 up their talk. I don't think pre... Pre -law 00:05:38.139 --> 00:05:41.279 school nerd is gonna be able to back anything 00:05:41.279 --> 00:05:43.040 up until he gets his degree and then he can just 00:05:43.040 --> 00:05:46.259 sue them And get their house and make them a 00:05:46.259 --> 00:05:52.139 townie of some other town. I don't know Anyways 00:05:52.139 --> 00:06:04.600 Today Your three things are Deodorant Big Bang 00:06:04.600 --> 00:06:10.040 Theory And smart cars. Are we talking Big Bang 00:06:10.040 --> 00:06:13.120 Theory the show or Big Bang Theory the theory? 00:06:13.279 --> 00:06:19.980 The Big Bang Theory. I don't know. I guess they 00:06:19.980 --> 00:06:23.279 could both apply. I was thinking the show more 00:06:23.279 --> 00:06:26.360 than the theoretical beginning of the universe. 00:06:26.980 --> 00:06:30.360 But I mean, I guess they could both apply to 00:06:30.360 --> 00:06:33.980 today's topic. So the Big Bang Theory, probably 00:06:33.980 --> 00:06:37.879 the show. Deodorant. Probably the show. Self 00:06:37.879 --> 00:06:41.980 -driving cars? Smart cars. Smart cars. No, it's 00:06:41.980 --> 00:06:45.000 the stupidest of all cars. That's the irony. 00:06:45.860 --> 00:06:48.259 The Cybertruck is the stupidest of all cars. 00:06:48.660 --> 00:06:53.560 No. No. Have you been in one? No. And I have 00:06:53.560 --> 00:06:56.759 no intention of being in one. Austin has a fire 00:06:56.759 --> 00:07:01.120 Cybertruck. I don't know how that works. That's 00:07:01.120 --> 00:07:03.899 pretty sweet. There is nothing more Austin than 00:07:03.899 --> 00:07:07.089 a fire truck. So if they pull up a little too 00:07:07.089 --> 00:07:11.389 close and the fire spreads and it sets the lithium 00:07:11.389 --> 00:07:15.050 batteries on fire, what happens then? Then your 00:07:15.050 --> 00:07:19.750 fire truck is going to do a claymore. That's 00:07:19.750 --> 00:07:22.829 pretty silly. That is dumb. It is. It's real 00:07:22.829 --> 00:07:25.389 goofy. So smart cars, the Big Bang Theory, and 00:07:25.389 --> 00:07:28.970 deodorant. Yes. I don't even know if I have a 00:07:28.970 --> 00:07:33.019 way to connect two of those dots. Big Bang Theory 00:07:33.019 --> 00:07:36.459 and deodorant, full of nerds. Nerds tend to not 00:07:36.459 --> 00:07:39.220 be as hygienic. I mean, yeah. I mean, I would 00:07:39.220 --> 00:07:42.459 think that deodorant isn't high up on a shopping 00:07:42.459 --> 00:07:45.639 list for especially, like, convention nerds. 00:07:45.660 --> 00:07:49.319 I've heard stories. Never been. But I've heard 00:07:49.319 --> 00:07:52.279 that it's not a priority. It is not, especially 00:07:52.279 --> 00:07:54.360 considering the fact that you're packed in with 00:07:54.360 --> 00:07:58.240 all of these people in very expensive, very heat 00:07:58.240 --> 00:08:02.129 -trapping outfits. I've seen videos of women 00:08:02.129 --> 00:08:05.889 peeling them off and just a pool of sweat just 00:08:05.889 --> 00:08:11.350 falling out. And that is gross. That is some 00:08:11.350 --> 00:08:18.230 nerds like fever dream, wet dream, really wet 00:08:18.230 --> 00:08:25.479 dream, but not mine. That's gross. Oh, so. Reptile 00:08:25.479 --> 00:08:28.779 dysfunction is off the table, but we can talk 00:08:28.779 --> 00:08:32.779 about wet dreams. I mean, it's a dream about 00:08:32.779 --> 00:08:36.080 something that's wet. Whatever happens out of 00:08:36.080 --> 00:08:39.039 the dream is, that's not my concern. I'm just 00:08:39.039 --> 00:08:41.039 talking about all the sweat within the dream. 00:08:42.360 --> 00:08:45.200 And I was just talking about lizards maybe running 00:08:45.200 --> 00:08:52.149 our government. It wasn't about lizards that 00:08:52.149 --> 00:08:54.090 are just having a really hard time at work right 00:08:54.090 --> 00:08:57.049 now? You'll have to listen to the episode and 00:08:57.049 --> 00:09:04.789 find out. Will do. Will do. Okay, so... Yeah, 00:09:04.830 --> 00:09:06.509 no. I don't think I have anything for this one. 00:09:06.570 --> 00:09:10.710 I don't know how those things relate. Well, I'll 00:09:10.710 --> 00:09:15.110 break it down for you. Deodorant is meant for 00:09:15.110 --> 00:09:18.389 one place, and it's meant to serve one function. 00:09:19.039 --> 00:09:23.919 To keep you from being musty and gross. And keeping 00:09:23.919 --> 00:09:27.500 you pleasant to be around in a polite society. 00:09:28.379 --> 00:09:31.360 I work in a place that that law has gone just 00:09:31.360 --> 00:09:34.419 out the window. It is. You should start putting 00:09:34.419 --> 00:09:38.399 up signs. Deeply problematic. Or just go and 00:09:38.399 --> 00:09:42.000 get like some cheap ones. Put them in a basket 00:09:42.000 --> 00:09:45.600 and say free. Or just start handing them out. 00:09:46.240 --> 00:09:51.169 Yeah. Hey, I got this and I thought of you. Yikes. 00:09:53.750 --> 00:09:57.129 Big Bang Theory. So if we're taking the core 00:09:57.129 --> 00:10:01.289 cast, which started out as four, ended up at 00:10:01.289 --> 00:10:05.769 what? Six? I don't know. I didn't finish the 00:10:05.769 --> 00:10:08.509 last three episodes. Yeah. Or three seasons. 00:10:09.509 --> 00:10:13.490 So it started as four and then ended at six, 00:10:13.529 --> 00:10:17.820 right? Well, so it started with... The five, 00:10:18.019 --> 00:10:20.360 because it started with the four guys and Penny. 00:10:20.519 --> 00:10:23.620 Oh, Penny, yeah. And then Bernadette and Amy. 00:10:24.080 --> 00:10:26.960 So seven. Okay, so it started at five and ended 00:10:26.960 --> 00:10:29.320 at seven. But every single one of those characters 00:10:29.320 --> 00:10:33.960 had one defining trait that just really never 00:10:33.960 --> 00:10:36.240 changed about them throughout the entire series. 00:10:36.440 --> 00:10:40.220 It went on for like, what, ten years? Sheldon 00:10:40.220 --> 00:10:42.279 was always the smartest one in the room and just 00:10:42.279 --> 00:10:46.340 a jackass to be around. Sure. Kuther Polly was 00:10:46.340 --> 00:10:51.039 always the weird foreigner that was awkward around 00:10:51.039 --> 00:10:55.100 women. He was Fez. Yeah. Wolowitz was always 00:10:55.100 --> 00:10:58.480 the horn dog. Yeah. Leonard was always the real 00:10:58.480 --> 00:11:01.980 awkward one, but the de facto leader of the group. 00:11:02.120 --> 00:11:06.299 Penny was always the dumb blonde, and then whatever 00:11:06.299 --> 00:11:09.940 the other two. Anyways, so they all had just 00:11:09.940 --> 00:11:11.740 one trait, and that's what carried them through 00:11:11.740 --> 00:11:16.159 the entire show. Smart cars. Very stupid car, 00:11:16.299 --> 00:11:19.720 very stupid vehicle. It's just meant to get you 00:11:19.720 --> 00:11:21.500 from point A to point B. There's not a single 00:11:21.500 --> 00:11:25.320 other thing you can do with a smart car except 00:11:25.320 --> 00:11:29.740 haul yourself to Whole Foods or wherever you're 00:11:29.740 --> 00:11:34.820 going. Pilates, I don't know. Nate used to drive 00:11:34.820 --> 00:11:39.980 a smart car. For those of you who need a frame 00:11:39.980 --> 00:11:44.250 of reference, he is, I believe, 6 '2". He's a 00:11:44.250 --> 00:11:47.450 big dude, and he drove a smart car in Berlin 00:11:47.450 --> 00:11:55.230 for a minute. On a dare? I picture the really 00:11:55.230 --> 00:11:59.450 tall dude in The Simpsons Nelson laughs at, where 00:11:59.450 --> 00:12:03.570 he unfolds himself from the smart car to yell 00:12:03.570 --> 00:12:09.909 at him. This is the only car I can afford. I 00:12:09.909 --> 00:12:13.299 didn't know that. i'm not gonna lie i'm probably 00:12:13.299 --> 00:12:15.700 gonna look at them differently now so that's 00:12:15.700 --> 00:12:18.679 fair that's fair i did too it wasn't a deal breaker 00:12:18.679 --> 00:12:23.019 or anything but it was it was close uh might 00:12:23.019 --> 00:12:27.840 have been probably should have been but anyways 00:12:27.840 --> 00:12:31.340 all these things one trick ponies they had a 00:12:31.340 --> 00:12:34.679 job they did that job well but never bothered 00:12:34.679 --> 00:12:38.500 to spread their wings and and see if they could 00:12:38.500 --> 00:12:41.549 become something else Sure. As far as I know, 00:12:41.610 --> 00:12:43.950 no one's ever tried to put a V8 in a smart car 00:12:43.950 --> 00:12:49.389 and do a couple laps at Daytona. Know what I 00:12:49.389 --> 00:12:52.570 mean? Pull a boat down the road. Maybe they have. 00:12:52.769 --> 00:12:57.230 I haven't seen it. One trick ponies. One trick 00:12:57.230 --> 00:13:03.889 ponies. And today's episode is specifically about 00:13:03.889 --> 00:13:07.330 actors who are one trick ponies. Are we talking 00:13:07.330 --> 00:13:12.539 like Will Arnett? In BoJack Horseman? Yeah. Yeah, 00:13:12.639 --> 00:13:15.379 he didn't make my list. But he is definitely, 00:13:15.679 --> 00:13:22.340 if they need like a smarmy dude for a voice, 00:13:22.500 --> 00:13:24.980 with a deep voice, they're going to get Will 00:13:24.980 --> 00:13:30.100 Arnett. They're going to get Joe Bluth in anything 00:13:30.100 --> 00:13:35.000 that he does. Yeah. Same with my first one, Jason 00:13:35.000 --> 00:13:40.159 Momoa. I didn't have him on my list. No? So I 00:13:40.159 --> 00:13:43.200 was thinking about, I guess, more tenured actors 00:13:43.200 --> 00:13:45.820 when I was looking into this. I was thinking 00:13:45.820 --> 00:13:49.379 of people who'd had at least a decade of playing 00:13:49.379 --> 00:13:52.860 the exact same person. Jason Momoa started in 00:13:52.860 --> 00:13:57.159 Game of Thrones. That was like 2012. He wasn't 00:13:57.159 --> 00:14:01.039 Jason Momoa then. He was Khal Drogo. Sure. And 00:14:01.039 --> 00:14:04.879 that is the crazy thing about Jason Momoa is 00:14:04.879 --> 00:14:07.299 that he started off in such a prestigious role. 00:14:08.200 --> 00:14:12.059 and then just puttered out yeah like he never 00:14:12.059 --> 00:14:14.940 built from that i think uh right after game of 00:14:14.940 --> 00:14:20.039 thrones he did like uh some greek mythology movie 00:14:20.039 --> 00:14:24.600 maybe like a hercules i could see that make a 00:14:24.600 --> 00:14:27.740 good hercules he did something where he was he 00:14:27.740 --> 00:14:30.519 was completely shaven and it was the wrong move 00:14:30.519 --> 00:14:33.820 he made the mistake of being aquaman i think 00:14:33.820 --> 00:14:36.789 that's what doomed his career Being Aquaman and 00:14:36.789 --> 00:14:41.049 co -starring with Amber Heard were two just bad 00:14:41.049 --> 00:14:45.429 things. Missteps. Missteps, yeah. Yeah, I mean, 00:14:45.429 --> 00:14:48.009 like, he's always had, like, the dumb surfer 00:14:48.009 --> 00:14:51.370 dude. And then he's always been, like, just massive 00:14:51.370 --> 00:14:54.750 muscle. Yeah. And so those are the roles he gets. 00:14:54.870 --> 00:14:59.669 As far as I know, he hasn't spread his wings 00:14:59.669 --> 00:15:04.009 into something more dramatic. Past, I mean. Past 00:15:04.009 --> 00:15:06.389 Game of Thrones, I don't think there's... In 00:15:06.389 --> 00:15:07.809 Game of Thrones, he didn't even really have to 00:15:07.809 --> 00:15:12.690 talk. He just grunted a lot. Sure, yeah. I mean, 00:15:12.710 --> 00:15:18.009 I would argue that his role in Fast 15... I don't 00:15:18.009 --> 00:15:20.149 know which one we're on now. His role in the 00:15:20.149 --> 00:15:23.990 Fast and Furious franchise was at least a little 00:15:23.990 --> 00:15:27.570 bit less of that kind of character. He at least 00:15:27.570 --> 00:15:31.250 got to be a little bit more fun. Fast 10 -year 00:15:31.250 --> 00:15:34.690 seatbelts. The Minecraft movie. The Minecraft 00:15:34.690 --> 00:15:40.690 movie, Aquaman. I had another one. But yeah, 00:15:40.769 --> 00:15:45.669 I mean, it's the same general character. Maybe 00:15:45.669 --> 00:15:49.850 he's a little divergent in the Fast movies, but 00:15:49.850 --> 00:15:52.750 not really. Not by enough to consider it a whole 00:15:52.750 --> 00:15:56.549 new thing. And it's amazing going through all 00:15:56.549 --> 00:16:00.509 these people and how many of them are in the 00:16:00.509 --> 00:16:06.070 Fast series. And it's not like the Expendables 00:16:06.070 --> 00:16:09.250 where it was just a stacked cast of like 12 people 00:16:09.250 --> 00:16:12.230 and then the next one had 20 people and then 00:16:12.230 --> 00:16:15.789 30 people. It's pretty much been the core people 00:16:15.789 --> 00:16:20.629 for the entire series. And all of them are just 00:16:20.629 --> 00:16:24.730 the Fast and Furious people. Yeah. That's pretty 00:16:24.730 --> 00:16:27.990 much all they can do. I mean, if your name has 00:16:27.990 --> 00:16:30.789 been Diesel. I think you are willingly putting 00:16:30.789 --> 00:16:33.889 yourself in that box. If you change your name 00:16:33.889 --> 00:16:38.990 from Mark Sinclair to Vin Diesel, call that. 00:16:39.090 --> 00:16:43.230 He manifested, yeah. I mean, I don't, do you 00:16:43.230 --> 00:16:46.710 think that Jason Momoa could do something serious? 00:16:47.529 --> 00:16:53.090 Well? I think he could, just from what I've seen 00:16:53.090 --> 00:16:55.169 of him in Game of Thrones. I think he could do 00:16:55.169 --> 00:16:58.230 something a little bit more. nuanced than just 00:16:58.230 --> 00:17:01.789 being like a buff dude as his whole character. 00:17:03.610 --> 00:17:08.750 Not cool dude. That kind of guy? Yeah. I mean, 00:17:08.750 --> 00:17:11.869 if you start your career on Baywatch, I think 00:17:11.869 --> 00:17:17.410 the cards are kind of played for you. What are 00:17:17.410 --> 00:17:21.710 you saying about Hasselhoff? That was after Knight 00:17:21.710 --> 00:17:24.230 Rider. Never mind. What are you saying about 00:17:24.230 --> 00:17:27.119 Pam Anderson? I have no comments on Pam Anderson. 00:17:27.720 --> 00:17:30.079 She is going to be in the new Naked Gun movie, 00:17:30.299 --> 00:17:33.500 and I'm super excited for that movie. I have 00:17:33.500 --> 00:17:36.119 that in my list. Not Pam Anderson, but the Naked 00:17:36.119 --> 00:17:38.440 Gun movie. The new one. It's on your list of 00:17:38.440 --> 00:17:41.160 one -trick ponies? It's on my list for one of 00:17:41.160 --> 00:17:45.059 my people. Oh, Leslie Nielsen? No, Liam Neeson. 00:17:45.460 --> 00:17:48.740 Oh, Liam Neeson. Okay. Okay, we might get into 00:17:48.740 --> 00:17:50.759 a lively discussion about that one. Because I 00:17:50.759 --> 00:17:54.000 think he's got some range. So I went in on Liam 00:17:54.000 --> 00:17:56.619 Neeson thinking he was a one trick pony, but 00:17:56.619 --> 00:17:59.859 he had had like the Seth MacFarlane project. 00:17:59.940 --> 00:18:01.740 So he had done like A Million Ways to Die in 00:18:01.740 --> 00:18:05.200 the West and Ted 2. Great movie. Very underrated. 00:18:05.319 --> 00:18:07.799 The more that I thought about it, the less I 00:18:07.799 --> 00:18:09.960 think he fits into this box. But I do think he 00:18:09.960 --> 00:18:13.359 has like two separate like identities. But he 00:18:13.359 --> 00:18:16.279 was in Schindler's List. He was Oscar Schindler. 00:18:17.279 --> 00:18:22.990 I mean, okay, fair point. Fair point. I will 00:18:22.990 --> 00:18:26.829 remove Liam Neeson from my list. But we can still 00:18:26.829 --> 00:18:29.250 talk about Liam Neeson. We can still talk about 00:18:29.250 --> 00:18:32.690 Liam Neeson. Maybe we can say that he has a pre 00:18:32.690 --> 00:18:36.410 -Taken career and a post -Taken career. That's 00:18:36.410 --> 00:18:41.289 a fair assessment. So maybe that's where we can 00:18:41.289 --> 00:18:44.269 still keep him on the list, all the post -Taken 00:18:44.269 --> 00:18:49.349 stuff. Okay. I think once he found that one jacket 00:18:49.349 --> 00:18:52.079 that he wears in Taken, It was off to the races. 00:18:53.099 --> 00:18:55.259 He doesn't take that jacket off for like six 00:18:55.259 --> 00:18:58.720 straight movies. Cold Pursuit. He doesn't go 00:18:58.720 --> 00:19:02.980 jacket off for six movies? Not a long time. And 00:19:02.980 --> 00:19:11.500 I'm the problem. You can't say a phrase like 00:19:11.500 --> 00:19:15.519 he doesn't jacket off. He doesn't go jacket off 00:19:15.519 --> 00:19:19.200 for six movies straight and not expect me to 00:19:19.200 --> 00:19:22.470 say something. He doesn't remove this one specific 00:19:22.470 --> 00:19:26.269 jacket for like six movies. Is that better? There 00:19:26.269 --> 00:19:30.569 we go. See? See? That is not clippable. The first 00:19:30.569 --> 00:19:34.529 one you said is completely clippable. And it 00:19:34.529 --> 00:19:37.470 will be. The cold open of this episode is going 00:19:37.470 --> 00:19:43.450 to be just as bad as the last one. Number two. 00:19:44.130 --> 00:19:49.430 Sir Jack Blatt. That one also made my list. Which 00:19:49.430 --> 00:19:52.230 was a bummer. I do love Jack Black. I like most 00:19:52.230 --> 00:19:54.710 of the things that I've seen him in. I like him 00:19:54.710 --> 00:19:59.309 fine. But it is astounding that he has made an 00:19:59.309 --> 00:20:01.849 entire career off the same shit. His whole music 00:20:01.849 --> 00:20:06.250 career is based on that. Yeah. It feels very 00:20:06.250 --> 00:20:10.890 authentic to him. He's a good singer. He just 00:20:10.890 --> 00:20:18.230 did a cover of Mr. Crowley by... Black Sabbath 00:20:18.230 --> 00:20:21.730 or Ozzy Osbourne one or the other though. I don't 00:20:21.730 --> 00:20:24.930 know That's pretty good. And like his tenacious 00:20:24.930 --> 00:20:30.529 D stuff is fine. It's I mean it is The songs 00:20:30.529 --> 00:20:34.710 are gimmicky, but if he was doing regular songs, 00:20:34.930 --> 00:20:36.549 I don't think that you would think it was a gimmick 00:20:36.549 --> 00:20:42.089 So like the music itself is fine and in a different 00:20:42.089 --> 00:20:45.980 genre, I think that he would It wouldn't be seen 00:20:45.980 --> 00:20:48.539 as any kind of joke or anything like that. I 00:20:48.539 --> 00:20:51.839 think he has a real passion for it. Sure, yeah. 00:20:53.259 --> 00:20:58.420 But he's like... I was going to say, I think 00:20:58.420 --> 00:21:01.200 that a good rule of thumb that I found for if 00:21:01.200 --> 00:21:03.579 it's a OneNote actor, they have this like shtick 00:21:03.579 --> 00:21:06.799 that works for them is if they voice an animated 00:21:06.799 --> 00:21:09.039 character who is just the exact same as every 00:21:09.039 --> 00:21:11.980 live action one they do. Kung Fu Panda. Kung 00:21:11.980 --> 00:21:15.349 Fu Panda. Bowser. They're both just every movie 00:21:15.349 --> 00:21:19.549 Jack Black has done. It's funny because his thing 00:21:19.549 --> 00:21:26.049 is like energy set to 150%. Clothes that are 00:21:26.049 --> 00:21:28.809 way too tight. Jumping around doing kicks that 00:21:28.809 --> 00:21:31.910 someone of his stature should not be able to 00:21:31.910 --> 00:21:42.690 do. He's like Robin Williams, but without the... 00:21:43.240 --> 00:21:49.480 the standup chops. Sure. Like Robin, Robin Williams 00:21:49.480 --> 00:21:53.039 could do that with, but then have like intelligent 00:21:53.039 --> 00:21:55.480 jokes to go with it. Like he was super high energy 00:21:55.480 --> 00:21:59.420 and cracked out. And, but Jack Black is just 00:21:59.420 --> 00:22:02.279 doing the same thing, but just making like noises. 00:22:02.779 --> 00:22:05.700 Like karate. Scatting is half this man's personality. 00:22:06.460 --> 00:22:12.549 And I respect the hell out of it. And. I don't 00:22:12.549 --> 00:22:14.589 think I've ever seen a man in more cameos than 00:22:14.589 --> 00:22:18.049 Jack Black. Think so? I don't think so. He was 00:22:18.049 --> 00:22:24.069 in The Mandalorian as a cameo. He was in a game 00:22:24.069 --> 00:22:30.190 I just played by the Rick and Morty guys. Oh, 00:22:30.450 --> 00:22:35.750 High on Life? Yes. He was a cameo in that. Him 00:22:35.750 --> 00:22:41.279 and Jamie Lee Curtis, maybe? weird choice some 00:22:41.279 --> 00:22:45.420 some random female actress but yeah at the end 00:22:45.420 --> 00:22:49.960 they were just random cameos and they immediately 00:22:49.960 --> 00:22:53.480 died but that's just on brand for for jack black 00:22:53.480 --> 00:22:57.359 because he's just a random cameo guy sure but 00:22:57.359 --> 00:23:00.059 i mean he didn't start out his career like like 00:23:00.059 --> 00:23:02.900 that i mean he um he was in high fidelity with 00:23:02.900 --> 00:23:06.559 john cusack he had some other other stuff but 00:23:06.559 --> 00:23:10.539 then like in the early like the really late 90s 00:23:10.539 --> 00:23:14.180 and then into the 2000s that's when he really 00:23:14.180 --> 00:23:17.619 honed in his persona and just the uh the lunacy 00:23:17.619 --> 00:23:22.460 began like saving silverman he was in that he 00:23:22.460 --> 00:23:25.660 was a nut job in that he was a lot more moderate 00:23:25.660 --> 00:23:28.779 in shallow how i think that movie is dumb but 00:23:28.779 --> 00:23:32.779 yeah that just the premise of the movie and Gwyneth 00:23:32.779 --> 00:23:38.589 Paltrow just I don't know. I liked it when I 00:23:38.589 --> 00:23:41.490 first saw it, but then I was also like, I don't 00:23:41.490 --> 00:23:47.430 know, 13 when I saw it. So I don't think it would 00:23:47.430 --> 00:23:51.230 hit as hard today. One movie that he starred 00:23:51.230 --> 00:23:55.250 in that was a serious role, but it was also very 00:23:55.250 --> 00:23:59.450 heavily painted with Jack Blackiness is Bernie. 00:23:59.650 --> 00:24:02.529 Have you ever seen that? I don't think I ever 00:24:02.529 --> 00:24:06.269 watched it. I remember it coming out. It's him 00:24:06.269 --> 00:24:09.809 as a funeral director in somewhere in small town 00:24:09.809 --> 00:24:15.069 Texas. And then Matthew McConaughey is, I want 00:24:15.069 --> 00:24:19.349 to say like a detective, some sort of authority. 00:24:19.630 --> 00:24:27.150 And then Shirley MacLaine. And I don't remember 00:24:27.150 --> 00:24:29.589 the story. Look it up. It's a decent movie. It's 00:24:29.589 --> 00:24:33.710 worth watching. Nothing spectacular, but it's 00:24:33.710 --> 00:24:39.160 more. serious role than you've seen him in any 00:24:39.160 --> 00:24:42.460 time recently i'd still argue that peak jack 00:24:42.460 --> 00:24:46.539 black was tropic thunder that was like the the 00:24:46.539 --> 00:24:49.960 apex of the lunacy and also the quality of his 00:24:49.960 --> 00:24:56.359 movies that's true i i would love to see the 00:24:56.359 --> 00:25:01.079 movie that he did a trailer for in yeah is that 00:25:01.079 --> 00:25:06.390 the fats I think so, yeah. I don't know if this 00:25:06.390 --> 00:25:08.609 would hurt the idea of monetization, but speaking 00:25:08.609 --> 00:25:11.410 of going full retard, Nate watched The Accountant 00:25:11.410 --> 00:25:15.569 2. And he agrees with you. It was a terrible 00:25:15.569 --> 00:25:20.589 movie. It was a terrible movie. And it was like... 00:25:20.589 --> 00:25:35.720 It was like... Taken meets Rain Man. Train man. 00:25:35.900 --> 00:25:44.440 And you couldn't take it seriously. It set autism 00:25:44.440 --> 00:25:49.200 back a couple decades. Yikes. He sent me a clip 00:25:49.200 --> 00:25:52.779 of them line dancing where Ben Affleck is watching 00:25:52.779 --> 00:25:56.279 their steps so that he can just suddenly replicate 00:25:56.279 --> 00:26:00.440 it. Just pick it up like that. Copperhead Road. 00:26:01.200 --> 00:26:03.579 One of the most redeeming parts of that movie. 00:26:04.359 --> 00:26:11.579 except for the Ben Affleck line dancing in New 00:26:11.579 --> 00:26:16.440 Balances. Not even going to break out the boots? 00:26:17.220 --> 00:26:21.740 Oh, no, no, no. And that was another one that 00:26:21.740 --> 00:26:24.720 we'll get into this a little later because I 00:26:24.720 --> 00:26:27.160 have some issues with the way Texas is represented 00:26:27.160 --> 00:26:34.089 in films and television. Looking at you, SpongeBob. 00:26:35.630 --> 00:26:43.289 It was... I was mildly offended. Okay. But that'll 00:26:43.289 --> 00:26:48.150 come up later. Next on my list, if I were to 00:26:48.150 --> 00:26:53.470 say something like, I don't know, I'll be back, 00:26:53.630 --> 00:27:05.380 or get to the chopper, or... I'm sorry, what 00:27:05.380 --> 00:27:11.579 was that last one? Do you know what I'd be talking 00:27:11.579 --> 00:27:16.059 about? Who I would be referring to? I'm a little 00:27:16.059 --> 00:27:18.680 disappointed that you didn't use the accent in 00:27:18.680 --> 00:27:22.359 the first two things. Where's Schwarzenegger? 00:27:23.000 --> 00:27:30.349 Get to the chopper! I'll be back. God, the people 00:27:30.349 --> 00:27:33.210 on either side of me are going to be getting 00:27:33.210 --> 00:27:39.950 a real show tonight. We're talking about my man, 00:27:40.130 --> 00:27:46.809 Arnold Schwarzenegger. He is another one that 00:27:46.809 --> 00:27:49.349 just, if he's in a movie, you know what it's 00:27:49.349 --> 00:27:52.789 going to be. It's just going to be he's this 00:27:52.789 --> 00:27:58.440 unstoppable machine man. that will mow down anything 00:27:58.440 --> 00:28:03.420 in his path. Sure. And he did try to break away 00:28:03.420 --> 00:28:09.019 from that pretty early on, like with Jingle All 00:28:09.019 --> 00:28:14.720 The Way, which is good. But then at the end, 00:28:14.740 --> 00:28:21.220 he has the physique of this action figure superhero. 00:28:21.680 --> 00:28:25.759 So that also plays into... and to see like this 00:28:25.759 --> 00:28:28.980 hulking man that's just like a an accountant 00:28:28.980 --> 00:28:31.339 or a I don't even remember what he is in that 00:28:31.339 --> 00:28:36.640 movie real Clark Kent an ad guy maybe I don't 00:28:36.640 --> 00:28:42.440 know but just completely beefed up dude just 00:28:42.440 --> 00:28:48.140 in an office job so his his his Terminator Predator 00:28:48.140 --> 00:28:51.240 Conan the Barbarian stuff did come into play 00:28:51.240 --> 00:28:57.150 in that one kindergarten cop the same thing uh 00:28:57.150 --> 00:29:01.029 it was like a fish out of water like he's this 00:29:01.029 --> 00:29:04.369 uh big hulking man that's with all these kindergartners 00:29:04.369 --> 00:29:07.009 and then twins the whole joke in that was that 00:29:07.009 --> 00:29:11.849 they were twins but one is ripped and like six 00:29:11.849 --> 00:29:15.470 six and the other one is Danny DeVito incredible 00:29:15.470 --> 00:29:20.369 but he so I mean he did he did try his hand at 00:29:20.369 --> 00:29:26.259 comedy He also had a cameo part in Around the 00:29:26.259 --> 00:29:28.500 World in 80 Days, which is a great movie. Jackie 00:29:28.500 --> 00:29:33.519 Chan. That movie had a bunch of cameos in it. 00:29:33.819 --> 00:29:36.660 The Owen Brothers were in it. Or not the Owen 00:29:36.660 --> 00:29:40.079 Brothers. Yeah. The Wilsons? The Wilson Brothers. 00:29:40.339 --> 00:29:44.059 I don't know if this is an actual fact, but I 00:29:44.059 --> 00:29:47.700 heard from a reputable source that whenever Schwarzenegger 00:29:47.700 --> 00:29:50.839 movies play in Germany, that they're dubbed over 00:29:50.839 --> 00:29:56.319 because his accent is so thick it is almost unintelligible 00:29:56.319 --> 00:30:03.200 in actual German. Yeah. Apparently they're the 00:30:03.200 --> 00:30:08.140 Austrians? Bavarians? I'm not sure exactly what 00:30:08.140 --> 00:30:12.119 Schwarzenegger is, but that accent is just like... 00:30:12.119 --> 00:30:18.990 He's Austrian. It's like deep south. He's a German 00:30:18.990 --> 00:30:24.750 hick. Whenever the movies play over there, he's 00:30:24.750 --> 00:30:29.349 just like, get in the chopper, y 'all. They're 00:30:29.349 --> 00:30:34.069 like, I'll be back. That is exactly what I picture. 00:30:34.390 --> 00:30:37.049 They won't let him dub his own movies in a language 00:30:37.049 --> 00:30:44.430 he speaks fluently. It's got to be just incredibly 00:30:44.430 --> 00:30:49.940 humbling. But as far as what I said about the 00:30:49.940 --> 00:30:56.680 Fast series with just being full of one -trick 00:30:56.680 --> 00:30:59.960 ponies, it's the same with the Expendables, but 00:30:59.960 --> 00:31:04.359 to an even heavier degree. I think at least with 00:31:04.359 --> 00:31:07.619 the Expendables, they're self -aware. They are. 00:31:08.220 --> 00:31:11.299 Yeah. They all know what they're there for. And 00:31:11.299 --> 00:31:13.480 I think at this point, all the people in the 00:31:13.480 --> 00:31:15.839 Fast series know what they're there for. They're 00:31:15.839 --> 00:31:19.980 not winning any Oscars. No, Tyrese is in it for 00:31:19.980 --> 00:31:31.079 alimony checks. I heard a quote recently from 00:31:31.079 --> 00:31:37.759 Samuel L. Jackson about how the movies he's in, 00:31:37.880 --> 00:31:40.599 like he's in a lot of movies, but none of them 00:31:40.599 --> 00:31:43.349 are like... And they're like, would you like 00:31:43.349 --> 00:31:45.490 to win an Oscar and all this stuff? And he's 00:31:45.490 --> 00:31:49.069 like, I don't care about that. I am in movies 00:31:49.069 --> 00:31:52.130 that I'd want to see in a movie theater. That's 00:31:52.130 --> 00:31:54.750 just so refreshing for someone to be honest and 00:31:54.750 --> 00:31:58.690 just say, hey, I'm just in this for fun. I mean, 00:31:58.750 --> 00:32:01.349 if there's anyone, it should be Samuel L. Jackson. 00:32:01.589 --> 00:32:05.630 And it's like when Bruce Willis was doing all 00:32:05.630 --> 00:32:08.920 these direct -to -DVD movies. And everyone was 00:32:08.920 --> 00:32:12.640 like, oh, my God, he's fallen so far. And he 00:32:12.640 --> 00:32:15.339 used to be in Die Hard. And he used to be like 00:32:15.339 --> 00:32:17.420 Hollywood's It Guy. And now he's doing this. 00:32:17.700 --> 00:32:20.680 But then you find out that he's got like this 00:32:20.680 --> 00:32:23.400 horrible disease that is eating away at his body. 00:32:23.599 --> 00:32:25.660 And he just wants to do as many of these as he 00:32:25.660 --> 00:32:27.779 can so that he can leave his family as much money 00:32:27.779 --> 00:32:31.940 as possible. Damn, I didn't know that. I didn't 00:32:31.940 --> 00:32:33.220 know about the disease. I didn't know that he 00:32:33.220 --> 00:32:39.420 was on a mission. No, it was like it would be 00:32:39.420 --> 00:32:43.039 like every three months there would be a new 00:32:43.039 --> 00:32:47.319 movie that was straight to DVD that was or I 00:32:47.319 --> 00:32:49.700 mean, I guess now it's straight to streaming, 00:32:49.740 --> 00:32:53.599 but that Bruce Willis was in and just no one 00:32:53.599 --> 00:32:56.799 could understand why he had let his career go 00:32:56.799 --> 00:32:58.700 like this. And then it comes out about the disease 00:32:58.700 --> 00:33:01.640 stuff and that he knew that he wouldn't be able 00:33:01.640 --> 00:33:03.359 to do it for much longer. So he's got to get 00:33:03.359 --> 00:33:06.640 as much in as possible. And then, like, the ones 00:33:06.640 --> 00:33:13.039 towards the end were, like, he was literally 00:33:13.039 --> 00:33:17.779 just in them and not doing much. Just in them 00:33:17.779 --> 00:33:20.720 so that he could collect that paycheck. Yeah. 00:33:21.380 --> 00:33:25.539 But I also had some honorable mentions for this 00:33:25.539 --> 00:33:28.819 one. I didn't really take too many notes on anything 00:33:28.819 --> 00:33:34.220 with their careers or anything. A lot of people 00:33:34.220 --> 00:33:36.980 that we've talked about previously in these episodes, 00:33:37.200 --> 00:33:42.440 but numero uno, Dakota Johnson, our fave. I do 00:33:42.440 --> 00:33:45.900 like her. She's just so weird. She is weird. 00:33:46.059 --> 00:33:48.819 And she's the same exact character. It doesn't 00:33:48.819 --> 00:33:52.140 matter if she's a sex slave in Fifty Shades or 00:33:52.140 --> 00:33:55.619 if she is supposed to be spearheading this whole 00:33:55.619 --> 00:34:00.240 Spider -Verse thing. It's the same character, 00:34:00.599 --> 00:34:03.440 same delivery. Save everything that you're going 00:34:03.440 --> 00:34:05.960 to get from her. No matter what. Does that stop 00:34:05.960 --> 00:34:07.980 me from wanting to watch The Materialist? Not 00:34:07.980 --> 00:34:10.519 at all. It's Pedro Pascal and Captain America. 00:34:10.880 --> 00:34:13.639 And Dakota Johnson. No thanks. No thanks. I'm 00:34:13.639 --> 00:34:17.039 out on Pedro. What? Why? Because I'm not buying 00:34:17.039 --> 00:34:18.699 into it. They're trying to push him too hard. 00:34:18.920 --> 00:34:21.440 And I just think that he's a very weird dude. 00:34:21.579 --> 00:34:23.800 And something's going to come out sooner or later. 00:34:24.079 --> 00:34:27.980 You think so? I do. I think that he's a very... 00:34:27.980 --> 00:34:30.900 I think he's got some skeletons in that closet. 00:34:31.789 --> 00:34:34.909 That's a bummer. That would be a bummer. I'm 00:34:34.909 --> 00:34:36.489 in the middle of playing The Last of Us 2 right 00:34:36.489 --> 00:34:38.710 now. Technically it has nothing to do with him. 00:34:39.690 --> 00:34:44.469 Can't do it. I don't do that jumpy stuff. It's 00:34:44.469 --> 00:34:46.429 not really as jump scary as you think it'd be. 00:34:46.989 --> 00:34:52.889 No? No. There's a specific kind of the zombies 00:34:52.889 --> 00:34:56.949 that are more jump scary because they're stealthy 00:34:56.949 --> 00:34:59.769 and so you can't hear or see them coming. All 00:34:59.769 --> 00:35:02.170 the time. But other than that. It's not bad. 00:35:02.769 --> 00:35:04.769 I have it set on one of the easier settings. 00:35:04.849 --> 00:35:08.929 So it's not as jumpy. They have a lot lower health. 00:35:10.250 --> 00:35:12.909 Hashtag still not sponsored by Pepsi. But hopeful. 00:35:13.130 --> 00:35:17.750 Not yet. If they're willing to sponsor Madam 00:35:17.750 --> 00:35:22.090 Web. They can sponsor us. I agree. We are much 00:35:22.090 --> 00:35:24.389 more entertaining. For the right reason. I like 00:35:24.389 --> 00:35:28.030 to think so. With a much lower budget. The cost 00:35:28.030 --> 00:35:32.059 to sponsor us is. It's very low. Yeah, just, 00:35:32.159 --> 00:35:35.619 I mean, maybe slip us like a 50 and a couple 00:35:35.619 --> 00:35:39.480 cases of Pepsi. We'll start there. Until we work 00:35:39.480 --> 00:35:43.300 our way up to a Kendall Jenner commercial. Ugh, 00:35:43.400 --> 00:35:47.300 gross. And solve racism. But she already solved 00:35:47.300 --> 00:35:50.059 racism. What are we going to solve? Poverty? 00:35:50.659 --> 00:35:53.599 Yeah. Just like give it to a homeless person? 00:35:53.840 --> 00:35:56.239 Yeah. Yeah, we'll walk around. We'll hand out 00:35:56.239 --> 00:35:58.280 Pepsis to homeless people and then just like 00:35:58.280 --> 00:36:01.599 throw. Golden coins at them. The chocolate covered 00:36:01.599 --> 00:36:08.920 kind. Yeah. Yeah. High in protein. I also had, 00:36:09.019 --> 00:36:11.119 as an honorable mention, Sylvester Stallone. 00:36:11.260 --> 00:36:14.340 Sure. I don't think he ever escaped Rocky. He's 00:36:14.340 --> 00:36:17.320 doing some stuff now like Tulsa King, King of 00:36:17.320 --> 00:36:20.920 Tulsa. Tulsa King. But it's essentially just 00:36:20.920 --> 00:36:24.300 a mobster. Which, I mean, he was in that era 00:36:24.300 --> 00:36:27.219 of, like, if it wasn't Rocky, then it was a mobster. 00:36:27.239 --> 00:36:30.179 He was just a tough guy, that kind of shtick. 00:36:30.940 --> 00:36:34.260 Vin Diesel, another honorable mention. We've 00:36:34.260 --> 00:36:39.139 talked ad nauseum about Mark. Mr. Sinclair. So 00:36:39.139 --> 00:36:40.960 much so, we're on a first -name basis with him. 00:36:41.019 --> 00:36:44.739 A real first -name basis. Yeah, we don't call 00:36:44.739 --> 00:36:48.019 him Vin, we call him Mark. Mr. Sinclair, if he 00:36:48.019 --> 00:36:57.929 pisses us off. Oh, and then we have, uh, Dwayne, 00:36:58.070 --> 00:37:04.429 the Boulder Johnson, no matter how hard he tries, 00:37:04.489 --> 00:37:08.449 he's always just the rock. And I think that might 00:37:08.449 --> 00:37:15.010 be a curse of having a persona built around a 00:37:15.010 --> 00:37:19.050 nickname. Yeah. Cause like Stone Cold Steve Austin 00:37:19.050 --> 00:37:20.909 is always just going to be a Stone Cold Steve 00:37:20.909 --> 00:37:24.469 Austin. The Rock is just always going to be The 00:37:24.469 --> 00:37:28.329 Rock. Steve Austin seems like the dude who matches 00:37:28.329 --> 00:37:32.090 with everybody on Tinder. But no, do you think 00:37:32.090 --> 00:37:34.690 he's leaning away from The Rock persona? I don't 00:37:34.690 --> 00:37:37.250 feel like he is. I don't think he is either. 00:37:37.630 --> 00:37:42.230 I think that he tried his hand at steering away 00:37:42.230 --> 00:37:46.409 from it for a little bit. He's got a movie coming 00:37:46.409 --> 00:37:54.239 out soon about an MMA fighter. And it's a dramatic 00:37:54.239 --> 00:38:00.119 role from what I gather about it. But you're 00:38:00.119 --> 00:38:04.420 still, they had to put like 15 pounds of prosthetics 00:38:04.420 --> 00:38:06.639 on his face for you to not look at and say, oh, 00:38:06.699 --> 00:38:09.539 that's just The Rock. Yeah. Like he looks pretty 00:38:09.539 --> 00:38:12.980 unrecognizable and I'll watch it. I'll see how 00:38:12.980 --> 00:38:18.400 he does and I'll report back. But I don't have 00:38:18.400 --> 00:38:22.329 very high hopes for it. I could see that. I mean, 00:38:22.329 --> 00:38:25.630 it would seem like he's kind of returning to 00:38:25.630 --> 00:38:28.809 his roots in that, so it might not be bad. It 00:38:28.809 --> 00:38:32.710 might not. I don't know. I'm so tired of The 00:38:32.710 --> 00:38:35.289 Rock. I liked him when he first came out, like 00:38:35.289 --> 00:38:38.630 when he did The Game Plan, which was one of his 00:38:38.630 --> 00:38:42.329 first actual movies. You know what his first 00:38:42.329 --> 00:38:47.250 one was? His first one was, what was it? Be Cool, 00:38:47.329 --> 00:38:54.349 right? That was early on, but I don't think that 00:38:54.349 --> 00:38:55.949 was his first one. I'm pretty sure his first 00:38:55.949 --> 00:39:02.789 one was the Scorpion King in Mummy 2. Okay. With 00:39:02.789 --> 00:39:05.590 just the absolute worst CGI you've ever seen. 00:39:06.130 --> 00:39:08.869 But I'm pretty sure that was his first big movie 00:39:08.869 --> 00:39:12.289 role. Yeah. And then he started breaking out 00:39:12.289 --> 00:39:18.949 and doing those. Be Cool, Walking Tall. other 00:39:18.949 --> 00:39:23.030 tooth fairy films tooth fairy yeah he did have 00:39:23.030 --> 00:39:28.230 a string of family comedies yeah yeah and then 00:39:28.230 --> 00:39:31.289 he nailed down the smolder like eugene entangled 00:39:31.289 --> 00:39:35.530 and the rest is history because we had a span 00:39:35.530 --> 00:39:39.809 of like five years maybe where we had jungle 00:39:39.809 --> 00:39:42.150 cruise jumanji journey to the center of the earth 00:39:42.150 --> 00:39:45.130 the worst one not the one with brendan frazier 00:39:45.820 --> 00:39:51.019 Yeah. Central Intelligence with Kevin Hart. Rampage. 00:39:51.920 --> 00:40:00.260 San Andreas. Lots of forgettable movies. Yeah. 00:40:01.940 --> 00:40:05.360 Rampage was a remarkably stupid movie based on 00:40:05.360 --> 00:40:11.320 an okay video game. Do you have any more for 00:40:11.320 --> 00:40:13.539 this list? Because I have a whole nother side. 00:40:15.019 --> 00:40:20.400 I have a B -side to this record. How did you 00:40:20.400 --> 00:40:23.179 split it in half? What was your dividing line? 00:40:24.579 --> 00:40:28.539 Next part is about one -trick ponies that broke 00:40:28.539 --> 00:40:31.300 the mold. Oh, okay. In that case, I do have some 00:40:31.300 --> 00:40:35.059 extra ones. Shoot. So, I think you mentioned 00:40:35.059 --> 00:40:38.260 it earlier. Jason Statham. Yeah. I mean, he was 00:40:38.260 --> 00:40:42.860 in the Expendables fast bubble. Yeah. I don't 00:40:42.860 --> 00:40:45.980 think I specifically named him. So whenever I 00:40:45.980 --> 00:40:49.559 was trying to build this list of actors, I was 00:40:49.559 --> 00:40:52.760 trying to find the one thing that kind of broke 00:40:52.760 --> 00:40:57.199 them out of this role. And his was one that the 00:40:57.199 --> 00:41:00.119 best case scenario that I could find was Spy, 00:41:00.320 --> 00:41:03.119 which was still just him parodying everything 00:41:03.119 --> 00:41:05.340 that he does in every other movie he's been in, 00:41:05.400 --> 00:41:10.480 which feels a little gratuitous. I don't think 00:41:10.480 --> 00:41:12.840 that that's making the point you want it to. 00:41:13.400 --> 00:41:17.719 I had one of the Nepo babies that I think we 00:41:17.719 --> 00:41:21.400 forgot in the episode on Nepo babies, which is 00:41:21.400 --> 00:41:26.179 Kristen Stewart. She's a Nepo baby? Her dad is 00:41:26.179 --> 00:41:31.940 a director, I think. Huh. Let's see. Yeah, I 00:41:31.940 --> 00:41:33.380 didn't have her on my list, but I should have. 00:41:34.099 --> 00:41:37.960 I can't stand her. Jon Stewart is a TV producer, 00:41:38.039 --> 00:41:43.550 and Jules Stewart is a filmmaker. Huh. She is 00:41:43.550 --> 00:41:48.050 one of the, I feel like, most infamous one -trick 00:41:48.050 --> 00:41:51.389 ponies. Just because she does the same, like, 00:41:51.449 --> 00:41:57.789 brooding thing. Just like Deadpan. Yes. In everything 00:41:57.789 --> 00:42:02.309 she does. Yeah. The counterpoint to that was 00:42:02.309 --> 00:42:08.670 when she did Princess Di in Spencer. Which I 00:42:08.670 --> 00:42:12.559 haven't seen. But I've heard. I've heard not 00:42:12.559 --> 00:42:17.579 good things. I believe it. I had Ryan Reynolds. 00:42:18.840 --> 00:42:24.619 Also a... Is he on your B -side? No, but I wouldn't 00:42:24.619 --> 00:42:28.400 say that he necessarily broke from his typecasting 00:42:28.400 --> 00:42:32.920 because a lot of the stuff that he does, he still 00:42:32.920 --> 00:42:36.869 goes back to the well. Like a lot of the Deadpool 00:42:36.869 --> 00:42:39.050 stuff is just stuff that he was doing when he 00:42:39.050 --> 00:42:40.750 was first starting out, like the Van Wilder, 00:42:40.769 --> 00:42:43.610 uh, waiting, that kind of stuff is all in Deadpool. 00:42:44.590 --> 00:42:50.710 Um, but he, he does have the ability to, to break 00:42:50.710 --> 00:42:53.610 away from that and do like dramatic stuff or, 00:42:53.670 --> 00:42:57.710 or stuff that takes more than, uh, yeah. Have 00:42:57.710 --> 00:43:01.230 you ever seen the movie, uh, buried? Yeah. That 00:43:01.230 --> 00:43:03.230 was the, the exception that I had, but other 00:43:03.230 --> 00:43:06.369 than that, I couldn't find. a movie of his that 00:43:06.369 --> 00:43:09.829 didn't feel like he could have been copy pasted 00:43:09.829 --> 00:43:15.869 from waiting he wasn't like the uh in uh the 00:43:15.869 --> 00:43:18.789 proposal with sandra bullock he wasn't like the 00:43:18.789 --> 00:43:23.530 the smarmy jackass all the time and then he has 00:43:23.530 --> 00:43:28.670 like a a character shift towards the end yeah 00:43:28.670 --> 00:43:30.590 where he seems like he actually learned a lesson 00:43:30.590 --> 00:43:34.329 versus i don't know movies like waiting or deadpool 00:43:34.329 --> 00:43:39.869 or van wilder yeah i think the the writing for 00:43:39.869 --> 00:43:41.809 the proposal is a little bit different character 00:43:41.809 --> 00:43:44.650 arc wise than than a lot of the stuff that he 00:43:44.650 --> 00:43:46.769 does but he still feels like he's the same guy 00:43:46.769 --> 00:43:49.449 just a little bit less of a dick in the proposal 00:43:49.449 --> 00:43:54.449 like he's still he's still sarcastic he bullies 00:43:54.449 --> 00:43:56.789 sandra bullock into proposing to him which he 00:43:56.789 --> 00:43:59.469 should that is the appropriate response to that 00:43:59.469 --> 00:44:02.960 situation but detective pikachu even animated 00:44:02.960 --> 00:44:06.980 like i said he's still the exact same as as deadpool 00:44:06.980 --> 00:44:11.260 just with the pg -13 mouth take a quick gander 00:44:11.260 --> 00:44:15.099 at his imdb it's gonna prove me wrong show me 00:44:15.099 --> 00:44:18.300 this man's got range i'm just curious i think 00:44:18.300 --> 00:44:20.260 for the most part you're probably right and the 00:44:20.260 --> 00:44:23.039 ones that i'm thinking of are just like outliers 00:44:23.039 --> 00:44:27.340 but his name is ryan rodney reynolds that's too 00:44:27.340 --> 00:44:31.519 many r's It's amazing how many things on here 00:44:31.519 --> 00:44:35.300 are Deadpool things. Let's go before Deadpool. 00:44:36.820 --> 00:44:38.880 Hey, the Green Lantern. I forgot about the Green 00:44:38.880 --> 00:44:41.619 Lantern. I bet he wishes he could forget about 00:44:41.619 --> 00:44:46.159 the Green Lantern. Especially given all the Blake 00:44:46.159 --> 00:44:53.059 Lively things now. Amityville Horror. Okay. I'll 00:44:53.059 --> 00:44:56.059 give you that. When he for realsies hit a kid. 00:45:00.309 --> 00:45:04.030 But yeah, I think those are outliers here. Pretty 00:45:04.030 --> 00:45:08.949 spot on. Next up, I had Manic Pixie Dream Girl 00:45:08.949 --> 00:45:16.030 Queen, Zooey Deschanel. Yes. She started out 00:45:16.030 --> 00:45:23.409 as like the gothy brooding archetype. Did she? 00:45:24.750 --> 00:45:31.750 Yeah. One of the McConaughey rom -coms. Oh, Failure 00:45:31.750 --> 00:45:36.110 to Launch? Yeah, either that one or How to Lose 00:45:36.110 --> 00:45:40.869 a Guy in 10 Days. One of those. Yeah, she's like 00:45:40.869 --> 00:45:46.469 the jerky best friend and is like the a -hole 00:45:46.469 --> 00:45:49.710 the whole movie. Yeah. Whatever the opposite 00:45:49.710 --> 00:45:52.570 of dramatic relief? No. What's the opposite of 00:45:52.570 --> 00:45:55.309 comedic relief? It's a dramatic... I don't know. 00:45:56.349 --> 00:46:00.920 Maybe. I don't know. She's also a little bit 00:46:00.920 --> 00:46:04.579 more straightforward and kind of a bummer in 00:46:04.579 --> 00:46:07.760 Our Idiot Brother, the one with Paul Rudd, because 00:46:07.760 --> 00:46:09.920 he's supposed to be the one that's just off the 00:46:09.920 --> 00:46:16.699 wall. But by and large, her biggest character 00:46:16.699 --> 00:46:20.860 trait is she has bangs. And I feel like that's 00:46:20.860 --> 00:46:26.590 a problem. There was a while I was in middle 00:46:26.590 --> 00:46:29.269 school and I had like straight across bangs and 00:46:29.269 --> 00:46:33.110 people would compare me to her so often and it's 00:46:33.110 --> 00:46:36.190 literally just because I had the ukulele how 00:46:36.190 --> 00:46:43.530 dare you you know what maybe I did get bullied 00:46:43.530 --> 00:46:46.730 into it I don't know subconsciously I just needed 00:46:46.730 --> 00:46:51.369 to another thing on the Deschanel bingo card 00:46:52.000 --> 00:46:54.099 Date Chanel number five for when you want to 00:46:54.099 --> 00:47:02.880 smell like a 40 year old toddler. But I've been 00:47:02.880 --> 00:47:06.579 rewatching new girl and she just, she gets on 00:47:06.579 --> 00:47:10.980 my nerves. She's just so much of a caricature 00:47:10.980 --> 00:47:14.340 of a human being. It's just exhausting. Yeah. 00:47:15.500 --> 00:47:18.780 Especially in the beginning. Does it still work? 00:47:19.000 --> 00:47:22.949 Any kind of depth. Is it still enjoyable? Yes, 00:47:22.989 --> 00:47:28.269 but not for her. Got some Schmidt on your face. 00:47:28.670 --> 00:47:31.429 The Nick and Schmidt dynamic is the absolute 00:47:31.429 --> 00:47:33.010 best part of the show. The guys are the best 00:47:33.010 --> 00:47:40.210 part of that show. I think about Winston a lot. 00:47:41.489 --> 00:47:48.949 I have a board in my kitchen. AKA, AKA. Winnie 00:47:48.949 --> 00:47:53.840 the Bish. Winnie the Bish. I have a board in 00:47:53.840 --> 00:47:55.880 my kitchen and the quote on it right now is, 00:47:56.019 --> 00:48:04.820 as I live and breathe, raises. It's such a dumb 00:48:04.820 --> 00:48:13.460 quote. I feel like I could watch New Girl again 00:48:13.460 --> 00:48:16.619 from the beginning. I don't feel that way about 00:48:16.619 --> 00:48:19.260 How I Met Your Mother. And I don't know why. 00:48:19.460 --> 00:48:21.599 Maybe it's because I watched How I Met Your Mother 00:48:21.599 --> 00:48:26.019 so many times before. And I kind of feel the 00:48:26.019 --> 00:48:29.519 same way about The Office now. Whenever I couldn't 00:48:29.519 --> 00:48:31.179 find anything else to watch, I'd always put on 00:48:31.179 --> 00:48:33.159 The Office. I can't tell you the last time I 00:48:33.159 --> 00:48:36.099 saw an episode of The Office. I stopped watching 00:48:36.099 --> 00:48:41.639 it once they took it off of Netflix. I think 00:48:41.639 --> 00:48:44.630 it just like... I don't know why that was the 00:48:44.630 --> 00:48:46.090 dividing line because I had the other streaming 00:48:46.090 --> 00:48:47.550 service that it moved to because I think it's 00:48:47.550 --> 00:48:50.690 on Peacock now. It's on Peacock. I got tired 00:48:50.690 --> 00:48:55.590 of it. I think that was my, like, I'm good. It's 00:48:55.590 --> 00:48:58.050 actually worth revisiting on Peacock because 00:48:58.050 --> 00:49:00.269 they have extended cuts of the episodes. Yeah. 00:49:01.369 --> 00:49:05.650 But then they also have edited the episodes that 00:49:05.650 --> 00:49:07.710 are on there. So, like, you remember whenever 00:49:07.710 --> 00:49:14.699 Colin Robinson, whenever he was on... On The 00:49:14.699 --> 00:49:18.320 Office. I can't think of the actor's name. I 00:49:18.320 --> 00:49:20.599 just always call him Colin Robinson. I know who 00:49:20.599 --> 00:49:21.920 you're talking about, but I can't remember when 00:49:21.920 --> 00:49:26.340 he was on The Office. He was in The Warehouse 00:49:26.340 --> 00:49:30.340 with Daryl. Oh, okay, yeah. And there's a Christmas 00:49:30.340 --> 00:49:37.599 episode where Dwight is Belschnickel. And Belschnickel's 00:49:37.599 --> 00:49:45.079 assistant is named Black Peter. And in the folklore, 00:49:45.480 --> 00:49:55.420 it's a little enslaved person. So in wherever 00:49:55.420 --> 00:49:57.579 this is from, I don't remember where, is it from 00:49:57.579 --> 00:50:03.420 Germany? Yeah. Yeah. Belchnickel is portrayed 00:50:03.420 --> 00:50:06.679 by a white person in blackface. And there was 00:50:06.679 --> 00:50:12.420 a scene in the office. Where Colin Robinson shows 00:50:12.420 --> 00:50:17.400 up as Belschnickel in blackface. Oh, good Lord. 00:50:19.699 --> 00:50:26.380 Oh, he's like, what was it? So Dwight was doing 00:50:26.380 --> 00:50:28.880 his Belschnickel thing. And then he calls him 00:50:28.880 --> 00:50:32.460 on the phone and he's walking in from the parking 00:50:32.460 --> 00:50:36.480 lot. And he says, it's off. It's off. Don't, 00:50:36.480 --> 00:50:41.409 don't come. the actor that plays colin robinson 00:50:41.409 --> 00:50:47.769 is in full blackface and just this um uh what 00:50:47.769 --> 00:50:51.489 one of those uh menstrual like a menstrual like 00:50:51.489 --> 00:50:55.630 outfit walking into the office he turns around 00:50:55.630 --> 00:50:57.769 and gets back in his car and then in the next 00:50:57.769 --> 00:51:00.429 scene you see him at the party he's still wearing 00:51:00.429 --> 00:51:02.510 the same clothes but he took off most of the 00:51:02.510 --> 00:51:04.590 makeup but then there's like black paint behind 00:51:04.590 --> 00:51:07.570 his ear and they took all that out of the episode 00:51:08.969 --> 00:51:12.750 I can't imagine why. Because this world is just 00:51:12.750 --> 00:51:16.389 full of pansies, that's why. Uh -huh. So you 00:51:16.389 --> 00:51:17.969 can't watch the beginning of How I Met Your Mother? 00:51:19.269 --> 00:51:22.750 Not really, no. I've tried a couple times. And 00:51:22.750 --> 00:51:28.949 I always feel like, why am I doing this? I don't 00:51:28.949 --> 00:51:31.809 know. I can't enjoy it like I used to. Yeah. 00:51:31.929 --> 00:51:33.969 I don't know if there's no particular reason 00:51:33.969 --> 00:51:37.969 for it. I re -watched How I Met Your Mother. 00:51:38.880 --> 00:51:41.619 Last year or the year before. And my perspective 00:51:41.619 --> 00:51:44.960 on it has completely changed. Yeah. And it is 00:51:44.960 --> 00:51:48.900 very much ruined the show for me. What was your 00:51:48.900 --> 00:51:53.039 perspective before? He does suck. Well, so like 00:51:53.039 --> 00:51:55.360 watching it the first time around, I watched 00:51:55.360 --> 00:52:00.039 it when it aired, which was 05 to 13. 13, I think. 00:52:00.179 --> 00:52:03.599 Yeah. Yeah. I remember watching like the finale 00:52:03.599 --> 00:52:09.719 like day of. And. I watched it without any kind 00:52:09.719 --> 00:52:12.780 of like nuance because I hadn't I was too young 00:52:12.780 --> 00:52:16.440 to have experienced anything romantic. Yeah. 00:52:16.800 --> 00:52:22.679 And having I'm 26 now. So having experienced 00:52:22.679 --> 00:52:28.260 the world as an adult, he's just the worst. The 00:52:28.260 --> 00:52:32.000 worst. He is. And his motivations for everything 00:52:32.000 --> 00:52:35.119 is completely selfish and completely unrealistic. 00:52:35.599 --> 00:52:39.710 Yeah. But he. Just keeps chugging along anyways. 00:52:39.809 --> 00:52:42.329 And everyone's like, hey, man, you're doing great. 00:52:42.489 --> 00:52:44.469 Keep going. Keep doing what you're doing because 00:52:44.469 --> 00:52:48.610 it's definitely working. I was watching a TikTok 00:52:48.610 --> 00:52:53.250 the other day of Josh Radner, who is Anti's head, 00:52:53.349 --> 00:52:58.289 which makes me just incredibly happy. But I was 00:52:58.289 --> 00:53:00.369 watching this video of Josh Radner and he was 00:53:00.369 --> 00:53:03.989 talking about a scene where he's going to find 00:53:03.989 --> 00:53:07.539 Robin's locket in the last season. This is supposed 00:53:07.539 --> 00:53:09.380 to be his grand romantic gesture for a woman 00:53:09.380 --> 00:53:11.059 he is still in love with, despite the fact that 00:53:11.059 --> 00:53:13.519 she is marrying one of his best friends. Best 00:53:13.519 --> 00:53:18.860 friend. Yep. He's on a bridge with a like stalker 00:53:18.860 --> 00:53:22.579 of his, and he's having this conversation. He's 00:53:22.579 --> 00:53:25.059 like, if you really love somebody, you never 00:53:25.059 --> 00:53:28.400 stop. Like you just always keep going. You like, 00:53:28.400 --> 00:53:30.820 we'll get the thing that you want. Like you just 00:53:30.820 --> 00:53:34.139 have to keep trying for it. And so Josh Radner 00:53:34.139 --> 00:53:36.880 says there's. People that will still come up 00:53:36.880 --> 00:53:39.860 to me like all of the time and say, I love that 00:53:39.860 --> 00:53:41.920 speech. Like that's what motivated me to keep 00:53:41.920 --> 00:53:44.699 going after that person. He was like, I need 00:53:44.699 --> 00:53:48.559 you to stop. That was not the takeaway. That 00:53:48.559 --> 00:53:52.019 poor girl. He was like, you're not supposed to 00:53:52.019 --> 00:53:56.760 be rooting for this. Yeah. Like in real life, 00:53:56.820 --> 00:53:59.659 that's just not how this works. And so much of 00:53:59.659 --> 00:54:03.079 that show is just him. Like the only reason that 00:54:03.079 --> 00:54:07.019 Robin is still. in his life is because she's 00:54:07.019 --> 00:54:08.659 a part of the group and wants to stay a part 00:54:08.659 --> 00:54:10.320 of the group because it's the first friend she's 00:54:10.320 --> 00:54:14.019 ever had there's no reason she would be in ted's 00:54:14.019 --> 00:54:17.239 life otherwise he sucks and he is actively trying 00:54:17.239 --> 00:54:21.079 to change her for nine straight seasons down 00:54:21.079 --> 00:54:23.320 to the finale when the love of his life dies 00:54:23.320 --> 00:54:26.780 spoiler alert sorry no don't don't be sorry it 00:54:26.780 --> 00:54:30.500 was a stupid ending and oh this is this is how 00:54:30.500 --> 00:54:34.329 we planned it all along no it's not No, it's 00:54:34.329 --> 00:54:40.630 not. You're a liar. That whole last season was 00:54:40.630 --> 00:54:44.349 just a bullet train because you knew you had 00:54:44.349 --> 00:54:48.050 no more track left. So you're just trying to 00:54:48.050 --> 00:54:51.030 speed to get there as fast as you could. And 00:54:51.030 --> 00:54:57.989 it showed. I mean, that's a problem that you're 00:54:57.989 --> 00:55:00.409 going to have with most shows because people... 00:55:02.250 --> 00:55:05.110 if there's no ending then people get to create 00:55:05.110 --> 00:55:08.050 their own ending but when you show them how it 00:55:08.050 --> 00:55:11.190 ended then one you're not going to live up to 00:55:11.190 --> 00:55:15.030 the expectations of what these people had planned 00:55:15.030 --> 00:55:19.250 and what these people thought that it was going 00:55:19.250 --> 00:55:21.329 to be because they've built up this huge thing 00:55:21.329 --> 00:55:25.429 in their head and two you you don't space it 00:55:25.429 --> 00:55:30.139 outright the only show in recent history that 00:55:30.139 --> 00:55:34.340 I think really stuck the landing was Breaking 00:55:34.340 --> 00:55:37.880 Bad the ending of Breaking Bad and the ending 00:55:37.880 --> 00:55:40.360 of Better Call Saul which I mean pretty much 00:55:40.360 --> 00:55:44.079 it's the same show yeah that's because everyone 00:55:44.079 --> 00:55:47.000 knew what had to happen at the end it started 00:55:47.000 --> 00:55:50.480 off with Walt discovering that he has cancer 00:55:50.480 --> 00:55:53.980 finding a solution to leave money for his family 00:55:53.980 --> 00:55:58.639 and then This man who had just been in service 00:55:58.639 --> 00:56:01.539 to other people his entire life was finally doing 00:56:01.539 --> 00:56:04.139 something that he enjoyed for himself and it 00:56:04.139 --> 00:56:07.340 was only for himself. And so you just knew that 00:56:07.340 --> 00:56:10.340 based on his decisions and what he was doing 00:56:10.340 --> 00:56:14.079 and based on how the story began, you knew that 00:56:14.079 --> 00:56:16.920 it was going to end with violence and you knew 00:56:16.920 --> 00:56:18.639 that he was going to die at the end. That's all 00:56:18.639 --> 00:56:23.599 you had to do. But with a show like How I Met 00:56:23.599 --> 00:56:27.000 Your Mother. There's so many potential ways that 00:56:27.000 --> 00:56:34.179 it could go that you just could not, you couldn't 00:56:34.179 --> 00:56:36.599 live up to the expectation. You couldn't find 00:56:36.599 --> 00:56:40.920 a way that would satiate enough people to say 00:56:40.920 --> 00:56:44.559 that was a great way to end this series. I beg 00:56:44.559 --> 00:56:47.280 to differ on that one. Oh yeah? Okay. I think 00:56:47.280 --> 00:56:50.239 that there was a good way to end the show that 00:56:50.239 --> 00:56:55.909 didn't flip off the fans. Okay, so how would 00:56:55.909 --> 00:56:58.309 you have ended it? The entire point of the show 00:56:58.309 --> 00:57:02.349 from start to finish was that the journey from 00:57:02.349 --> 00:57:06.349 point A to point B is what's important. Realistically, 00:57:06.510 --> 00:57:09.929 the kids existed for most of the time that Ted 00:57:09.929 --> 00:57:13.570 and Tracy were together. You didn't need, as 00:57:13.570 --> 00:57:16.250 a fan necessarily, a whole breakdown of their 00:57:16.250 --> 00:57:18.130 relationship. We know how Ted is in relationships. 00:57:18.210 --> 00:57:20.809 We get introduced to Tracy and we can imagine 00:57:20.809 --> 00:57:22.809 that they're the same kind of weirdo because 00:57:22.809 --> 00:57:25.219 that's... what is supposed to make them work 00:57:25.219 --> 00:57:27.920 better than anyone else. I think if they had 00:57:27.920 --> 00:57:31.659 done Robin and Barney's happily ever after with 00:57:31.659 --> 00:57:34.400 far Hampton, Ted had met Tracy and they had just 00:57:34.400 --> 00:57:37.019 ended it with, and that kids is how I met your 00:57:37.019 --> 00:57:38.480 mother. I think it would have been a satisfying 00:57:38.480 --> 00:57:41.960 ending because the whole thing was about like, 00:57:42.099 --> 00:57:45.099 this is the rough road that it took us to get 00:57:45.099 --> 00:57:48.019 here, but we're here. I think that it would have 00:57:48.019 --> 00:57:50.400 been a fine ending if it had just done more of 00:57:50.400 --> 00:57:54.539 a Sopranos, like cut to black. I think that that 00:57:54.539 --> 00:57:57.880 would have been a much better way to end things 00:57:57.880 --> 00:58:01.840 than nine years later, we have not moved an inch. 00:58:02.599 --> 00:58:06.219 He married this woman. He had children with this 00:58:06.219 --> 00:58:08.659 woman, and he is still in love with Robin, who 00:58:08.659 --> 00:58:12.940 was married to his best friend. That feels like 00:58:12.940 --> 00:58:15.820 it negates any shred of growth that Ted might 00:58:15.820 --> 00:58:18.340 have had in the entire span of the show. And 00:58:18.340 --> 00:58:21.420 it felt like it was an intentional... It felt 00:58:21.420 --> 00:58:25.489 like... Subversion for the, just to subvert. 00:58:25.670 --> 00:58:28.489 Yeah. Like, oh, you thought this was how it was 00:58:28.489 --> 00:58:30.670 going to end? Well, boom. I don't know. I was 00:58:30.670 --> 00:58:34.250 extremely disappointed with it. And I think that 00:58:34.250 --> 00:58:37.630 that probably is a reason why I have such a hard 00:58:37.630 --> 00:58:41.530 time watching the first stuff, like the first 00:58:41.530 --> 00:58:44.289 season now, is because I know that it's all for 00:58:44.289 --> 00:58:47.429 nothing. It's all baloney. Right. And I know 00:58:47.429 --> 00:58:50.070 how it ends. But no, I agree with you that if 00:58:50.070 --> 00:58:54.559 they... If they hadn't done the whole flash forward, 00:58:54.719 --> 00:58:58.199 I guess, and dad, you're in love with Aunt Robin. 00:58:58.500 --> 00:59:01.320 And then she just happens to be divorced. Where 00:59:01.320 --> 00:59:05.380 was Barney? Yeah. Like this character that we've 00:59:05.380 --> 00:59:07.880 watched this entire show from the very first 00:59:07.880 --> 00:59:10.119 episode. And now all of a sudden he's just out 00:59:10.119 --> 00:59:12.659 of the picture for some reason. And Robin's fair 00:59:12.659 --> 00:59:14.460 game. And so now that's how you're going to end 00:59:14.460 --> 00:59:16.400 it. It doesn't make any sense. Yeah. I think. 00:59:16.840 --> 00:59:19.840 As far as like so the cop out that they had was 00:59:19.840 --> 00:59:21.940 that they had already filmed the kids things 00:59:21.940 --> 00:59:26.039 back in 05 when obviously Lindsay Finesca and 00:59:26.039 --> 00:59:29.340 David Henry were significantly younger. Yeah, 00:59:29.400 --> 00:59:33.239 it would have made so much sense if just in the 00:59:33.239 --> 00:59:36.219 last bit of the show that it had cut to them 00:59:36.219 --> 00:59:39.199 in present day and been like, oh, my God, I feel 00:59:39.199 --> 00:59:41.599 like that took forever. Like you didn't have 00:59:41.599 --> 00:59:44.179 to reuse footage from 2005. You could have just 00:59:44.179 --> 00:59:47.079 done this like nod to the fact that it has taken 00:59:47.079 --> 00:59:49.820 them nine years to hear this story. Yeah, you 00:59:49.820 --> 00:59:53.820 could have. Yeah. And then I think it also might 00:59:53.820 --> 00:59:55.920 have been a little less of a slap in the face 00:59:55.920 --> 00:59:59.780 if at the end of season eight, he had gotten 00:59:59.780 --> 01:00:02.519 with the mom and then you just spent that entire 01:00:02.519 --> 01:00:06.340 season seeing a sped up version of their relationship 01:00:06.340 --> 01:00:09.789 until she died. Instead of doing all that in 01:00:09.789 --> 01:00:11.809 like two episodes at the very end of the series. 01:00:12.150 --> 01:00:15.269 She spends more time with almost every member 01:00:15.269 --> 01:00:20.070 of the group as she does with Ted. Yeah. Well, 01:00:20.210 --> 01:00:24.510 I think we've gotten a pretty solid episode out 01:00:24.510 --> 01:00:26.630 of this. So I think we're going to do a part 01:00:26.630 --> 01:00:32.969 two with mold breakers. Yeah. Yeah. So you compile 01:00:32.969 --> 01:00:37.289 your list and we will continue this on to... 01:00:37.719 --> 01:00:41.119 Next week's episode. All right. Any closing words 01:00:41.119 --> 01:00:47.139 of wisdom? Hmm. If you can only do one thing, 01:00:47.199 --> 01:00:50.940 but you can do that one thing well, then who 01:00:50.940 --> 01:00:57.360 cares? Make that money. Live your life. And enjoy 01:00:57.360 --> 01:01:01.920 it. Make the most of it. You don't have to branch 01:01:01.920 --> 01:01:05.840 out to be special. You can just be the guy that 01:01:05.840 --> 01:01:10.460 says, Ah! And that's perfectly fine. That is 01:01:10.460 --> 01:01:15.599 perfectly fine. What about you? Remember, in 01:01:15.599 --> 01:01:19.300 the case that you don't want to be the guy that... 01:01:19.300 --> 01:01:22.360 Go ahead. I'm not going to do it. Come on. Try 01:01:22.360 --> 01:01:28.880 it. Come on. Do it one more time. You sound like 01:01:28.880 --> 01:01:33.980 Chewbacca. No. See? Okay. That's a common misconception. 01:01:34.679 --> 01:01:38.579 Because it is Chewbacca. But there's an Austrian 01:01:38.579 --> 01:01:42.480 twang to it. A redneck Austrian twang to it. 01:01:42.539 --> 01:01:48.420 A redneck Chewbacca. If you don't want to be 01:01:48.420 --> 01:01:51.980 like our boy Mark Sinclair, remember that you 01:01:51.980 --> 01:01:56.039 contain multitudes. That's all I got. All right. 01:01:56.750 --> 01:01:58.650 Well, while we still have you here, check us 01:01:58.650 --> 01:02:02.610 out on Instagram at CashExchangePod.
